SOUTH PARK TO
BUILD NEEDED
CHURCH ROOMS
With Nucleus of $4,000 a Like
Sum VIII be Raised by Pres
byterians for Addition.

At a special meeting of the con-
gregation of South Park Presbyter-
ian church held last night at the
church. it was decided as soon as
possible to begin operations to IN
crease the capacity of the church in
order to accommodate the rapidly
and steadily growing Sunday schooI

Of several rooms and hall.
There is at present fund of $751;
600 available as the nucleus of the
fund with which to build the add
tional rooms to the church and the
other $4,000 it is planned to raise

already on hand is the C. W. Halves
memorial fund of $4,000 with which
will be built a modern, community
hall adjacent to the church and
part of the general plan of the pro-
posed new church edifice. This hall
will be built together with addition
al Sunday school rooms in such a
manner that they become part OF
the general plan which will later
include a new church edifice on the
site now occupied by the building.
Plans as submitted by the gen
eral committee call for modern and
we'll equipped rooms, plain put
practical and adequate to the neeCss
of the congregation. The commup-
ity hall will be equipped with d
gymnasium, kitchen, auditorium
and stage, etc, to be used as a

Under ruling from the depart
ment effective today. a drop let
ter has no standing in the Office
where there is carrier service, the
idea of the department being that
all mail should have carrier SER
vice where possible, and therefore,
a drop letter. or a one-cent sealed
letter, will not receive service of
any description at the Rock Island
postoffice until the one-cent due is
paid. To be specific, a drop letter
in the estimation of the depart
ment, is intended only for minor

LONDON, TT SEEMS,

London. The London docks
docks were literally running with
port" says a reporter of a Lon
don paper. Thousands upon thou
sands of hogsheads lay all around.
They blocked the roads and filled
the sheds. There is more port in
London today than there is beer
in the whole of England. Some Of
the casks were warped and leaking.
The quayside and streets around the
sheds ran red with port. Birds,
dogs and cats were having the
time of their lives" The reporter
saw at least a dozen drunk, lying
on their sides or backs beside
rfvulets of wine.
Shippers with ships in the outer
docks loaded with wine complained
that the Quays were SO crowded
with port that they had no place
to unload their cargoes. And other
wine ships from Spain and Portu-
gal were on the way.

KNITTING YARN
USED TO CLOTHE
DESTITUTE FOLK

Sixty-five tons of knitting yarn,
originally purchased by the Amer
lean Red Cross for the making of
socks and sweaters for American
into $4,000 yards Of cloth and 49,
900 shawls so inches square, and
shipped abroad to help provide for
the destitute war sufferers of Eu-
rope.
The shavls are especially heavy.
The cloth consists of $4,000 yards,
all wool, for blankets and heavy
garments, and $4,000 yards 80
inches wide with a cotton warp.
In addition, the American Red
Cross has since the first of the
year, shipped 1,060,617 pounds Of
yarn and more than 22,50O 900
yards OF material for the making of
garments-textiles valued at ST.
1851 and including dress goods,
canton flannel, outing flannel, bath
robing, bleached and unbleached
sateen, twill jeans and
Bingham. Large quantities of but
tons, hooks and eyes, thread,
needles and similar accessories
have also been shipped.
This material will be used in
France or sent to Belgium, Poland
and the Balkan states, where most
needed, and will be fashioned into
garments by the people who are
to receive it.
1t is estimated that the German
invasion of France and Belgium
alone made wanderers of 1,25O,00
formerly happy country people, and
Red Cross investigators have re-
porter the need for clothing among
these and other war sufferers as
being even more imperative than
food.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
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, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make II at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeths 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 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with IL 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 delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

Towser has such hanged-dog sor-

his little playmate is growing up?
For Billie has just been promoted
out of rompers and has taken his
first step to manhood in this
charming new panty" suit.
This is an agreeable change from
the Oliver Twist suits which are
worn so much by little boys. Chest
nut velveteen is the material used,
with the collar, cuffs and front of
silk pongee. Cloth may be used to
replace the pongee, which would
really be more practical. Tan would
go we'll with the brown. Or if
made in delft blue for particu-

cloth of lighter shade of blue with

able suit.
