STAFFORD. C.FLAG
ASSURED WHEN ALL
RETURNSARE MADE

Washington will get a blue star in
the honor flag which the United
States Treasury awarded the Capital
for oversubscription OF its quota Of
Americas third Liberty loan. The
star denotes doubling of the quota.
This much appeared certain today
when incomplete reports from thirty
eight of the forty-three banks of the
city showed a total OF S24.S95,90O,
with 1885 buyers. Complete re-
ports from all banks and institutions
which acted as agents for the collec-
ton OF bond sales funds will show
that the District went over the neces-
sary S25, GOO 900, to double its quota.
members OF the District Liberty loan
committee were confident today.
Prediction was made today that the
number OF bond buyers will Teach
$4,000.
Figures compiled thus far show
that national banks accounted for
S14,399, $50 worth OF bonds, with
43 49, subscribers. Trust companies
reported 1925 300, with 81, SO4 sub
scribers, while savings banks report
ed S3,sG2, $50, with Il ,36l subscribers.
The above figures do not include the
reports OF several institutions which
were allotted 100000 as their quota
of the loan. It is known by the loan
committee, however. that they greatly
exceeded this amount
Riggs National Bank led all the
banks in the amounts reported. with
more than $4,000 900 from 5000 sub
scribers. The Federal National Bank
was second. with S3.017.T50 from S.0G5

TREASURY WILL
|. ALLOT BONDS TO
/ ALL SUBSCRIBERS

In accordance with former an
nouncements, Secretary McAdoo today
said that the Treasury would accept
allotment in full upon all subscrip-
tions to the third Liberty loan.
The amount Of the oversubscription
WILL not be known for another week
a. the committees in the twelve Fed
eral Reserve districts will require that
much time to make accurate reports
OF the sales during the last rush
hours Of the campaign.

Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been ap
piled. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears: but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's sage
and Sulphur Compound is that. be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
with a few, applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of album
dance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-(Adv.)
