SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, strcaked
locks and they become dark,
glossy, youthful.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
1ustre 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 trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, 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 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 another ap-
plication 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 a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease. D..

HURLEY WILL SEEK TO STANOARD|ZE
 SEAAE!V'S WAGES
Government Diycrting Ships to Nor mal Trade Routes as Rapidly as
 Possible.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Ghairman Hurley of the Shipping board, who sailed for Europe last Saturday to prepare for the returning of Amer ican troops to this country and for moving needed food supplies to the war-famished nations overseas, also plans to seek an international agree ment between the governments, ship ping interests and labor organizations of the principal maritime powers for standardization of seamen's wages and working conditions.
 It was said today that MT. Hurley expects to propose that the American laws and the agreements between the government and the seaman's $ unions on these subjects be accepted as the standards and it is understood that the American Federation of Labor and the British Seamen's Union are pre- pared to support the proposal. :,
 It was learned today that the ship ping board, as far as consistent with the necessities of government needs, is dverting ships to normal trade routes and that within few months officials hope to have American ships carrying needed commodities of peace to South and Central America, Asia. and Africa as well as to Europe.
 In turning the vessels back, the board, it was said, will not relinnush any of it's rights to any vessel.

greater speed, endurance and maneu- vering power were developed even while every enrgy was bing strain ed to reach quantity production here of the De Havilands and Handley- chief attention will be given by the government as the existing supply of present types probably is more than ample as a reserve.
 In addition to manufacturing mono- poly, which includes the assembiin : of scientific data of the utmost value on the whole question of air flight, the government has complete mono- poly over the training facilities for fliers. It owns some 32 flying fields in the United States, all fully equip ped and has built up preliminary courses in colleges and universities in all parts of the country. The home aviation schools are row filled to turn out 1000 men month rat ed as reserve military aviatOrs while there now are in this country more than 12,00O men who either have pas- sed through that school system, or are nearing completion of their training. There are also tens of thousands of airplane mechanics and 5000 aviators in France at least one half of whom are fully qualified mi litary pilots.
 In the opinion of many officials, the future of air navigation in the United States rests largely with these men trained to fly by the gov- ernment. Having had taste of air work, it is believed that the maiori- ty of these men always will yearn to continue flying and through them great stimulus will be given to the development of the aircraft industry by private enterprises. For the time being however, the army and navy services, supplemented by the aerial postal service, will be the only out let for the product of such an indus try and to insure these government needs, it is thought. it will be neces- sary for the army to follow the navy practice and take over some one of the great plants where mach ines for both the army and the pos tai service can be turned out until q normal manufacturing industry has been developed.

OF GREAT MILITARY IMPORTANCE IS AIR
 SERVICE REGARDED
Officers and Men Displaying Marked Ability to Be Retained in
 Service.

Washington, Nov 18.--DcmobiIiza- tion of the army air service presents separate problem on which War Department officials are now at work. How it is to be accomplish cd so that the aircraft manufacture ing industry, now a government mo- noply, can be preserved has not been disclosed, but it is possible to state authOritatively some of the cOnsid- eration will govern Rehabilitation plans.
 Secretary Baker is known to regard the air service as the field of mili- tary enterprise ill which the great est developments are to be expected For that reason, the army programs to be laid before congress probably will show recommendations for con- tinuing the aviation branches on q scale dispropOrtionate to the other arms of the service. Every effort is expected to be made to improve eX- isting types of planes and engines or develop new ones.
 It is also certain that the plans now being formulated will make pro- visions for retaining in the presen; military establishment officers and men who have displayed marked abi- lity in the operation, producton and equipment of airplanes, balloons and other aircraft.
 The monopoly of the government extends to every branch of aircraft production. To make a start on the extraordinary program laid out, 1t was necessary to build from the ground up; to create virtually every facility required, even to the grow ing of castor beans to furnish the lubricating oil required. The only exception are the automobile fac tories, which were turned from builuing engines for motor cars to the production of Liberty motors, and other aircraft engines.
 For these plants, the transition back to peace time industry is na- tural and many are at work. There exists, however, no market except the government for aircraft that can possibly engage in any part of the other plants now devoted wholly to that production and the future of these plans is not yet clear
 Outstanding contracts for military planes of various types are under stood to talta between 25,000 and 30.- coo. It is regared das likely that virtually all of these vii! be can celled. Many bf the orders have already been slowed 6own if not dee- finitely withdrawn.
 It was said today that there is no need to equip heavily with any of the types now in production for mi litary use. as improved machines of

GERMAN KUtTUR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
 THESE ATROCITIES
Tn Stamping Out German Propaganda These Will Be Kept In
 Mind.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-To stamp out nropaganda of prO-German organiZa- tions in America which have strongly urged greatest leniency in dealing with Germany, patriotic societies of tho central west have called attention to the long string of Prussian atroci- tias that stretch over the four years of war
 The excesses, referred to in Ger many by some statesmen as "boyish nranks of the soldiers" included the hombing of hospitals, sinking hospital shins. poisoning wells, bombing cities and villages, burning cathedrals an needlessly murdering women and children in captured territory.
 A list of violations of international law intended to show that the terach- erous policies of high German officf- cials justified the eXcesses committed by soldiers in the field opens with the hattie on the Belgian frontier oil Aug ust 5, 1914.
 Here, in chronological order, are a few of the scores of German crimes against humanity as listed by patrio tic organizations:
 Sept. 1, 1914, Germans bombed Paris, killing many women and child ren.
 Feb. 21, 1915, American steamer Evelyn sunk
 May [, Liner Lusitania torpedoed and sunk by German submarine with loss of more than 1000 lives.
 Sept. l, Ambassador Bernstorff an nounced Germans would sink no more liners without warning.
 Sept g. Germans make air raid on London, killing 200 persons and wounding 100 others, many of them women and children.
 Oct. 12, Edith Cavell executed by Germans.
 Nov. 9, Italian liner Ancona torped oed without warning.
 March 24, 1916, Steamer Sussex tor pedoed and sunk.
 Oct. s, German submarines sink six merchants steamships off Nantucket, Mass.
 Nov. 6, Submarine sinks British passenger steamer Arabia.
 Nov [, Cardinal Mercire protests against German deportation of Bel SiduS, SuDIIldIIuC SlIlhS iAIlSAlSoI steamer Columbian.
 Nov. 21, British hospital ship Brit annie sunk in Aegean sea.
 Jan. 31, 1917, Germany announces unrestricted submarine warfare.
 Feb. 2S, Secretary Lansing exposes Zimmerman attempt to effect a MeNi- can-Japanese-German alliance against America
 Nov. 1. Secretary Lansing exposes Luxburg "spurlos versenkt'' note.
 March g, 1918, German long range gun shells Paris.
 March 29, long range gun kills scv- cnty-five churchgoers in Paris on Good Friday.
 The list further shows that up to the last hour of fighting, the Ger man soldiers continued committing exccsscs against. prisoners and in- habitants of occupied territory.
