COMMUNITY SING
TARGET FOR HEAT
Bugs, Too, But None the Less
"Ole Virginny" Catches
the Crowd.

The community sing was more or less
wilted by the heat wave last night,
which cut down attendance of chorus
and pee-pul and put n damper in pro
cecdings generally, that not even the
pep of the leader could wholly counter
act
Particularly noticeable according to a
ppssimist in the crowd was the drift tow
ard the request stage which Is a menace
to the success of the project. Chorus
and crowd will follow leader who has q
definite program. but it begins to be
different when the maudlin or the leather
lunged in audience or OficlOus persons
in the chorus ranks are listened to. There
should be no difficulty IN laying out a
program in advance; the spirit of the
occasion can lie woven into II as It develops

ABOUT WHITE HORSE PIKE.
Autoists Advised to Use Other New
Jersey Route.

The following communication from the
secretary OF the New Jersey State High
way Commission, Trenton with regard to
the routing of adelphia-Atlantic City
traffic, is sclf-cxplanatory and in line with
the verbal recommendations which have
been given by the touring bureaus for
some time past:
Gentlemen Inasmuch ns construction
by the State Highway Department OF
New Jersey is to start very shortly on n
section of the White Horse pike near Atco,
il is felt that much better results will be
obtained if travel between Philadelphia
and Atlantic City is routed by way OF
Gloucester -Malaga-Buena.
I'VE would suggest that any requests
for information ns To routings or publicity
on automobile touring carry tins informa-
tion. in order that ms little inconvenience
as possible may occur to the travelling
public. :.
'1f you desire any further information
along this line we would be glad to answer
questions. Very truly yours.

SEARCH FOR MINES
NEAR HOG ISLAND
Divers Make Inquiry Prior to
Launching of First
Vessel.

Fear that mines might have been placed
in front of the shIpway from which the
first hull was launched at Hog Island
Yesterday, caused officials to send four
divers under the water to look for OBJ
structions it became known today
Few persons knew Of this because the
work was done long before the crowds
reached the shipyard. Nobody was per-
mitted near the end Of the way where the
divers were at work.
Runors to the effect that hostile influ
ences" caused the Watonwan 10 stick on
the wavs AT Bristol Saturday, also guided
officials in taking every precaution.
With new incentive to turn out ships
faster, instilled by the visit Of President
Wilson and his wife yesterday, workmen
at Hog Island today began TO try for
records in ship production
The object of their first record ls the
cargo carrier QuistcOnck, which Mrs.
Wilson christened Workmen now are
installing engines in the hull and placing
the fittings and they promise TO set
pace for all other shipyards-
Since it was launched yesterday, the
hull has been tied up at the wet basin,

She is the only boat there, being the first

wOrkmen an opportunity To concentrate

Another Z ,5O0-ton boat is now in course

water, the new keel was being lowered
by cranes, which had the keel suspended

time
Within two weeks another boat will
be ready for launching and the third
will be sent off about week later Then
the big shipyard will turn out two ships

UP until the war is over
Within a year $50 boats will be built

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-

She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home Is mussy and
o,1t-of date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle OF
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A woll-known downtown druggist
saws it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this thru your hair, taking one strand
at a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears. and after another applica-
ton or two. it becomes Beautifully
