MOVIE OF KNOWLEDGE
Lyman Howe's Travel Festival Will
Be in Topeka Two Days.

Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival
which comes to the Grand Friday and
Saturday, March 8, 9, has been aptly
described as an inexhaustible mine of
knowledge and pleasure" This de-
pendab1e entertainm ent is now on its
47th semi-annual tour, a most envia-
BILE record, and more than ever mer-
its the patronage of discriminating
amusement seekers. One of the prin-
cipal features of Mr.. Howe's latest
program is China. There is some
thing so impressive and attractive
about this oldest civilization of the
world that it has drawn travellers for
centuries past to the shores of the
great Chinese empire and year after
year new discoveries of the mysteries
of China have added to it's lure.
1t remained for Lyman H. Howe
the pioneer exhibitor, however, to
bring the real China to the people of
the outside world. His photographers
waited for five years and at last re-
ceived permission to take the first
photographs of 1.-The Forbidden City"
the most sacred and mysterious spot
in all China

BANK ON YANKEE TO
GO OVER THE TOP AT
EVERY OPPORTUNITY
BY ]. W. PEGLER

With the American Expeditionary
Army, France, Jan. 20 (by mai)-If
they ever invent a new way of going
over the top there's one American Of
fieer who will probably be on hand to
try the new wrinkle.
The French government has deco
rated him with the Croix de Guerre
for going over the sacks in every way
known to date.
First he went over with the French
infantry in an attack last spring. Tho
detailed as an observer and not re-
quired to take too many chances the
American officer was one of the first
wave to cross No Mans Land. He
stayed with his unit until the objec-
tive was gained and when they had
to fall back before a heavy counter
attack he fell back fighting with them
Some weeks later he went over the
top in a tank and followed that trip
q few days later by an aeroplane OBJ
servation flight. For the greater part
of an afternoon the plane cruised up
and down a German sector watching
the effect of big French shells on
concrete defenses. The Boche anti
aircraft guns made it warm for the
American flyer but he was still an
enthusiastic aviator when the plane
came to a successful landing on its
own field at dusk.

TALKS TO PRESS CLUB
Captain Thompson, Topeka War Pho
tographer, Tells of Experiences.

In a most interesting talk to the
Topek Press club at the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday night, Captain
Donald Thompson, Topeka's famous
war photographer and correspondent,
lea ped to the back of his pet hobby and
proceeded to fay the German -propa-
gandist with vitriolic tongue.
Thompson went into details concern
ing his plan of putting a red band
on the arms of all the German born
males in this country, saying that in
addition to the arm band, the men
should be compelled to register at the
police station in their home towns
and should be issued a passport such
as is in use in the cities of the war
ring countries. Whenever the Ger
man desired to pay visit to Kansas
City, for instance, he would have to
go to the local police headquarters
and have his passport vised or
stamped. On arrival in Kansas City
he would have to go to the police
headquarters there and have the pass
port stamped again, before he could
register at any hotel or be safely TAX
en- in at any boarding house or visit
ms friends When the German was
ready TO return to Topeka the same
process would have to be gone thru
again. He would get his passport
stamped at the K. c. police headquar-
tiers and on his arrival in Topeka
would have to report to police head
quarters here before going to his
home
captain Thompson told of some of
MS exciting experiences in getting
pictures of action in the war and of
rev OF the many times he has
rlsked death to secure a particularly
desirable film of a charge Captain
thompson spoke at the Chamber of
Commerce this noon.

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Any Shade
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
oid-tIme Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
ura1 color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you get
this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to the
hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth'S Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-Advertiseme

REJECTS MERCER
PrOhibitiOnists Refuse To Join

Chicago, March 7.-Prohibitionists

ton. but the Prohibitionists will not
lose their identity as national or
sanitation. This is the decision of
Prohibition party leaders who are
leaving for their homes today, fol-
lowing a hot fight on the proposed
merger of the two organizations
The resolution to merge was de-
feated by the Prohibitionists late last
night. The national committee, how
ever, was given broad powers TO CO

twelve months.

To Disband Kansas Drys.
Fifty-one delegates to the Prohibi-
ton convention bolted to the new
National party, and approximately 100
others, including National Committee
Chairman Virgil G. Hinshaw, slgn1-
fled their intention of joining the new
party, which was formed by Socialists
who bolted from the St Louis con-
vention. The action was taken be-
cause of the failure of the proh1bl-
ton convention to effect merger
with the Nationals.
Delegates from Kansas were among
those who announced that their state
convention would disband their pro-
hibition organization and join the Ma
tional party.
The fifty-one boilers, led by Ma
tional Convention Chairman H. P.
Faris of Missouri, w. J. Calderwood
of Minnesota and State Senator E. E.
Lobeck of Minnesota, formed outside
the convention hall while the Nation
alists were in session, and in loud
voices announced that they wanted
to join the party.
Delegates from the following states
announced that their state conven-
tions would take this action:
Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Jersey,
Massachusetts,. New Hampshire, Kan
sas, Oregon, Washington and North
and South Dakota.
After Two Days Debate.
Delegates predicted that many 9TH
err states would take similar action.
The split came as a result of the
failure of the Prohibitionists to in
dorse a merger with the National
party which they had been debating
for two days. On test votes a majority
of the delegates clearly stood in IA
vor of the merger but it was impossi-
BILE to obtain the two-thirds majority
necessary. During this time, some
half-dOzen resolutions were intro
duced in an effort to reach an agree
ment satisfactory to the delegates as
whole but it was impossible to pass
any of hem.

GOPHER RUINS ALFALFA
Poisoned Syrup Is the Best Thing to

Manhattan, Kan, March THE
