Attorney General Asks
Postponement of Seven
Large Antitrust Cases

Washington, Jan. 2.-Attorney
General Gregory to-day asked the
Supreme Court to defer argument on
the seven large antitrust suits pend
ing, including the International Har-
vester, United Shoe Machinery and
the Steel Corporation cases, until the
next term of court.
This action, Solicitor General
Davis explained, was taken because
the government wants cooperation
from the business interests of the
country. The suits postponed are
those of the government against the
United Shoe Machinery Company,
the International Harvester Com
pany. the United States Steel Cor
poration, Eastman Kodak Company,
the American Can Company, the
Quaker Oats Company and the Corn
Products Refining Company.
In order that the government in
this time of stress may not meet
with competition from private en-
terprises in its financial operations"
said the governments brief filed in
connection with the motion. "and the
flotation of it's loans, the Treasury
Department has been constrained to
urge that all private financing on
large scale shall be avoided as far
as possible.
III is quite clear lne ulssolutlons
which are sought in the pending
cases will require financial opera
tions on a large scale if they are to
be genuine and effective. Important
as the remedy sought in these cases
is believed to be, it must give place
for the moment to the paramount
needs of the hour"
Attorneys for the steel corporation
and the shoe machinery company
gave notice that objections to the
governments motion would be made
and the court granted them until
Friday to file their briefs in oppo-
sition. The motion to continue the
other cases was granted by the
court.

First-class mail, parcels post and
papers were scatt cred. promiscuously
about Sixth street below Forster
shortly before o'clock this evening,
when a southbound Sixth street car
collided with the rear end of a United
states mailwagon at the intersection
of the two streets, and dragged 1t
along Sixth street for about forty
feet. John Roller, who lives at White
Hill and who was driving the mail
wagon, said that he had stopped his
wagon in Forster, with the rear end
in Sixth. while he collected the mail
at the box on that corner. The street
car, coming at a fast rate of speed,
crashed into the rear end, spilling
the contents of the wagon and fright
ening the horse so that it started a
mad race north in Sixth. The mail
was gathered off the street and the
fender of the street car after the
occurrence. The crash which accom-
panied the collision startled residents
in the neighborhood.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. BY ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get a large bottle of this old
time recipe, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This sim
pie mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell ii has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw il through your hair, taxi
ing one strand at a time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, il is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful. This prepa-
ration is delightful toilet requisite.
1t is not intended for the cure, miti-
cation or prevention of disease.
