Of DEAD
TARS AUCT|0NED
(By Associated Press)

London, Jan 14-Dead mems eff
fects are sold at auction on the ships
deck by an old custom in the British
navy. Prices out of all proportion to
the value of goods are often realized
for the mans heirs, especially if the
late owner was popular with his ship
mates.
Purely personal belongings, such
as letters and photographs, are first
taken out to be forwarded to the de-
ceased's relatives. Then, as soon as
official sanction is obtained, the rest
of the articles are taken to a convent
ent part of the ship and offered for
sale. The maSter-at-arms acts as auc-
tioeer.
Bidders who have obtained the
small articles from such an auction
sometimes throw back their purchas-
es for resale until as many Jackies as
feel inclined have had a chance Of
something towards the
assistance of the dead mans neXt-of
kin. Thus these kit sales become the
Lower Decks way of taking up
charitable collection.
The kit of a deserter is similarly
sold by auction, the proceeds going to
the National Treasury. But the whole
outfit rarely fetches more than 2
few shillings, as many sailors regard
the possession of articles formerly
belonging to a deserter as undesira-
bic, if not unlucky.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre
to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances it's appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for so cents large
bottle, all ready for use 1t is called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
This can always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color and
lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
piled. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared. and after an
other application it becomes beautiful
" dark and appears glossy and lus-
trous. This redy-to-use preparation
is a delightful toilet requisite fol
those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-

TEUTON JUNIOR
OFFICERS GREEN
Prisoners From Germany Say That
The Young Officers are Placed in
Command of Companies After But
Four Weeks Training-Bitter Com
plaint of Their Inefficiency is
Heard
(By Associated PreSs)

! French Front, Jan 14.-Germar
prisoners are complaining of the in
efficiency of their junior officers
who are, they say, often placed il
command of sections after only foul
weeks training. One prisoner told
the Associated Press correspondent
that the majority of the professional
junior officers still fit for service,
had been transferred to the depots
and instruction camps in the interior
to train the boys of the 1919 and 1920
classes now called for service. These
vacancies in the ranks We're filled by
youths from the universities and by
the sons of merchants and manufac-
turers.
The number of officers also has
been reduced. At the beginning o.
hostilities each company of German
infantry had five, the captain and
four ieutenants or second lieuten-
ants. Early in the war the creation
of new machine gun, trench-mortar,
gas and grenadier officers from the
infantry battalions brought the num-
Der attached to each company down to
only three.
Owing 20 the frequent absence C
officers on furlough or for the pul
pose of following some special ir
struction course, there are often onl..
two officers, and sometimes one, OF
duty with company, even when !,
is holding the front line trenches.
Among the German prisoners tai.
en- in recent battles on the Frenc.l
front the number of active officers -;
very small. Battalion commander
and the commanders Of companie;
are nearly always reserve officer.
The chief of sections are sergeant
ma jor-l -lieutenants, who bear the in
sigma of officers on their shoulder
straps but wear the non-commission-
ed officers collar and hold their
rank only for the duration of the
war. Since the end of 1916, however,
simple sergeants are often in COM
mand of platoons.
The reason given by the prisoners
for the creation of so many tempor-
cry ranks is that the regular officers
of the German army are determined
to maintain after the war, the mill
tary caste which has so long existed
in Germany, and which excluded
from the possibility of attaining COM
missioned rank, any man belonging
to the commercial or industrial class
es.

Vacuum Systems Work
BY Simple Law of Phvsics

How gasolenc is, in effect, made to
flow uphill, by means of the vacuum
system, is explained by the Sparton
people, by whom more and moro cars
are coming to be equipped.
Physics teaches the theory of
vacuum~space bereft of air or any
other matter. Science has not yet Gre
ated perfect vacuum, because before
the point is reached the pressure of
air crushcs the walls inclosing the
space where the vacuum is being ere.
atcd by pumping out the air.
just this pressure is what is used Ia
force the gasolene. BY creating par.
tlal vacuum the outside. or atmos-
pherlc. pressure forces the fuel from
the main tank into the upper tank OF
the system. This little tank is located
usually on the dash Of the motor car
under the hood.
AS the gasolenc is forced up BY the
air pushing it into the partial vacuum
1T hits float that releases valve.
lhls breaks the vacuum and the gaso
lene flows down into the lower tank of
the system, which is Immediately under
the upper and raised considerably
above the carburetor From there
gravlty-the force that the vacuum has
first overcome-carries the fuel to tho
intake on the motor.

The Car That Statesmen
Told Jordan to Build

Every motor car salesman has
dreamed Of an ideal car-thc car he
would build himself had he the good
fortune to be in the position of the
manufacturer. 1t would be a car with
all the features most in demand by the
people he meets.
This is the kind of q car Edward s.
Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor
Car Company, wanted to build. To find
out just what features were most In
demand by motorists he picked ten
leading statesmen in the fifty largest
cities Of the country and asked them
what they would put into their ideal
motor car.
Every one of the statesmen voted for
cord tires; 90 per cent Of them ia,
vored red and green as standard body
colors; rs per cent said that the car
must be equipped with some sort OF
lenses to comply with the state laws. a
great many demanded aluminium bod,
material for the sake Of veivety fin
ish and to eliminate rumbles and rust
Practically all Of the statesmen askec
for such items of equipment as tonneau
light. tonneau clock, we'll made top
curtains that open with the doors

Drawing up the specifications of the
Jordan Sport Marine was a compare
lively simple matter. Those parts were
included that received the highest mum
ber of votes. 1t was like holding al
election among the motorists them
selves, because no one knows AS vel
as the salesman what the public ask:
