there Friday night to attend the grad

admissions amounted to nearly $3.50
which will be turned over to the gen
eral fund OF the school.
The exercises were opened by the
graduates marching around the room
and to their places on the stage to
the music OF march, which was
played by Miss Ruby Hart. The III

cept the superintendency of the

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look Young! Common Garden Sage
and Sulphur Darkens so Naturally
nobody can tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie Of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
all ready to use at very little cost
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been APP
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair taking
one strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to
it's natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This preparation
is a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is

TRAGEDY OF WAR
BROUGHT CLOSE BY
GRIFFITH PLAY

The tragedy and horror OF war came
close to Richmond last night with the
opening production Of David Wark

World" at the Washington theater

Great War; 1t Is a great achievement.
The picture was filmed In France.
close to the firing line. The attacks
of troops, the bombardment Of viii
lagos, the misery Of the refugees, the
brutality and barbarism Of the Ger
mans is wildly portrayed. There Is
a simple, charming love story that
runs through the film and stands out
through all the horror Of the German
invasion.
The story opens in a little French
village. where two American artists
have settled and reared their families.
The Boy and the Girl fall in love and
are to be married. On the day that
their betrothal is announced. the
order comes to mobilize to meet the
German invasion.
The Boy goes to fight for the coun-
try he lives in, although he is an
American citizen. His companions are
typical French poilus. light hearted.
laughing, terrible fighters. They are
sent to the trenches defending their
own village. With the unending
flood of the long grey line of Huns,
the French are thrown back, and the
little village is entered by the enemy.
The pitiful line of refugees leaves the
village for safety. but there are some
who are left behind, and with them is
the Girl. She sees her grandfather
killed and her mother die of horror
and exposure. The German conqLv4
ors force her to labor in the fields
and subject her to all Imaginable
brutality. But at last the French turn
the tide of the German flood, and the
village is once more in the hands of
it's own soldiers.
The film is given a dramatic con-
clusion with the arrival of the Ameri
can soldiers in France, marching on
to join their comrades on the battle
front.
The Gish sisters and Robert Harron
carry the leading roles in the play.

LONDON, Monday, Sept 30.-Corfu,

work being done there as follows:
Corfu is one Of the naval bases OF

is no great concentration of warships
there at any particular time. It's occu-
patton Is merely strategic.
"A couple of years ago, when the
Mediterranean was the happy hunting
ground Of the submarine THAI sea was
divided into sectors, each of Il allied
powers of England, France am Italy
being responsible for certain of these
sectors. This system, however, proved
ineffective. Finally conference was
held at Malta after it had become
evident that new disposition of fore
es and a new plan of action to meet
the submarine menace was necessary
1t was decided to establish central
control, with delegations of each al
lied naval force in attendance, but the
whole scheme of operations to be I'M
der an allied commander in chief. The
result is that the officer now has under
him an organization which is working
to hunt the submarine and protect
commerce.
At the present time there are about
200 craft in this force, there being
