NOT CONSIDERING
GENERAL EMBARGO
McAdOo Says Refusal of New Freight
by Several Railroads Only
Local
COAL AND FOOD GOES FIRST
Railroad Administrator Still Battling
with Blizzard Conditions in
Many Sections
COAL AND FOOD GOES FIRST

Washington, Jan. 21.-Embargoes
which have been in effect against the
acceptance of new freight by several
railroads were declared tonight by Di-
rector General McAdoo to be entirely
local in character and not Indicative
OF any proposed general prohibition
against shipments OF goods other than
fuel, food and var supplies.
Local questions are entirely in the
hands of the divisional representa-
tiv"s of the railroad administration
ne said, and doubtless they took action
because CT temporary conditions at
certain initial points which do not cx-
ist generally.
Steel Has to Wait
The Bethlehem Steel Company pro-
tested vigorously during the day be-
cause of inability to move steel. Coal
was given preference and their steel
had to wait.
Below zero temperature resulting in
a shortage Of labor and damage to
equipment caused serious setback
this morning in the work of clearing
freight congestion in the East, but
with moderating weather in the after
noon a hopeful report was made by
a. IL. Smith, director general of East
ern railroads. Accumulation of
freight held out for New York con-
tinued to show reduction and improv-
ed harbor conditions facilitated the
bunkcring of ships.
Blizzard Conditions
At the beginning of the day the
railroad authorities had to compete
with blizzard conditions. The tenn
perature was 81 degrees below zero in
Northern New York and Is below in
Ohio. Many men failed to report at
engine terminals and many of those
who did returned home because the
weather interfered with train opera
tion. Ice in the yard delayed switch
ing, the labor available to pick it out
not being sufficient for the tremen-
dous job.
Congegted terminals, shortage of
power and lack Of efficient labor were
recorded in special car supply re-
port made today by Commissioner Nc
Chord. One item Of cheer was the
statement that at several yards the
number of bad-order cars was de-
creasing.
Inability to get loaded cars to des
tination had tied up many cars loaded
with freight not In the preferential
list, but which was started on its way
before the government took over the
railroads.

ARGUMENTS OVER
BOND NAME LIST
Aftermath Of Publication Of Names OF
Many Who Did Not Buy as
Heavily as Committee
UrQed.

The aftermath Of the action of
some committees in publishing long
list of names of people they said did
not buy enough Liberty bonds in
Hancock county is appearing in the
papers over there this week.
| The signers of the first report on
| slackers now say two names were in
cluded by mistake and should not
have been there.
| But the most interesting phase Is
long communication to the papers
| by the appraisers Of one school dis
ltrict. These two men were given the
task of saying how much bonds each
person in that school district should
buy-and anything short of this
placed one in the roll Of dishonor
published in the county papers.
These two men in the one school
district turned in a list containing
their own names with the others.
The central committee looked at the
list and raised the figures Of the APP
praisers themselves many thousand
dollars, the rating Of one being raised
s2S 900 and of the other $4,000, above
their own rating of themselves.
They found their own names in the
list OF bond slackers when It was
published-and they are complaining
and explaining and protesting. They
say now that 1t is only implied that
the persons in the long list published
a week before are unpatriotic.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
. HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which Is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost Every
body uses this prepare ton now, be-
cause 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 another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis

board of trustees made an effort to get
Dr. Radasch's books and the sketch OF

effort was not successful, owing TO
the modesty Of DR.. Radasch making It
impossible to obtain the personal In
formation needed.
At lest, however, he was persuaded
to send on the books, but the person
