PARKS USED AS
DUMPS MUST BE
GIVEN ACLEANUP
Highway Department Issues
Order TO Have Dirty
Practice Stopped

Dumping of snow. ice and refuse
in River Park has been stopped,
city officials reported to-day. While
a general cleanup will be necessary
to remove the waste and dirt which
has been emptied in the park during
the last few weeks, Commissioner
Gross said to-day that the co-opera-
tion of the Highway Department in
not hauling any more snow or ice
from the streets and emptying it in
the park will be big help as it will
not give residents in that section of
the city an idea that the park is a
public dump.
Commissioner Lynch said that
while some of the snow in the park
had been hauled there by the high
way department forces, he also knew
of residents and contractors who had
hauled snow there. He also declared
the highway forces had not dumped
any refuse of any kind in the park.
Practice Stopped
commissioner Gross personally re-
quested Supervisor George w. Kautz,
in charge of the forces in the up
town district, not to send any more
teams in the park. but to use the
roadways to the river. Mr.. Kaut2
agred to cooperate. He has had
| charge of the forces of men in the
west end and has been kept busy al
number of the intersections and
fire houses and also removing snow
| in residential districts so that fu-
neral corteges could use the streets
! and drive close to curbs.
| Commissioner Lynch reported that
this season more snow has been re.
moved from city. streets than in any
other year. The total cost has reach.
ed thousands of dollars. but city of.
ticials said it was absolutely neces.
sary to keep highways open for traf.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favor
ite Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You 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, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
q youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.

Los Angeles Cares Not
For FuelIess Monday

Los Angeles, Gala survey of the
fuel and power situation made here
by the Chamber of Commerce shows
that Los Angeles is one city in the
country that is not affected in the
present crisis.
Eighty per cent. of the power used
is hydro the remaining
twenty per cent. being produced with
oil fuel of which there is an unlim-
tied supply from the adjacent oil
fields. The small amount of coal
needed during the winter months for
domestic purposes and minor indus
trial plants was obtained two months
ago.
Many hours of the day heat is not
needed in residences. Because of the
unusually warm winter and pleasant
sunshine dealers now have abnormal
supplies.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. September l5.
-Shelled by German submarine in a
fog this morning eighty miles OFF the
American coast, a British passenger
steamer: escaped by altering her course
and understanding the G-boat. She ar
rived safely In port late to-day.
q Five shots were fired by the sub
marine at the ship, which is in the
transport service and was bringing
home ninety-six wounded Canadian OIL :
GERS. None OF the shells struck the
vessel. The first screamed across the
starboard bow. struck the water be-
yond and exploded harmlessly. In
stantly the captain altered his course
and slowed down. The second missile
three struck the waves aStern.
Though the ship was armed, the cap
tain ordered the gun crew not to re-
spond to the fire, determining 10 rely
on speed and the low visibility for cs-
cape. AS soon as the shells began TO
fall behind he rang for full speed ahead
and the liner leaped away into the
murk. The U-boat then ceased firing.
During the Smelling perfect disci-
pline was maintained on the steamer.
After the fog closed around her she
continued her voyage with no further
incident.
Passengers OF the steamship decla red
upon arrival here tonight that they
heard no detonation before the shells
fired from the submarine exploded near
them in the sea. They asserted they
saw flares" of the gun and that the
submarine appeared to be not more
than Il half mile away.
