CASH IS RELEASED
 FOR RAILROAD MEN

Deferred payments due to employ mission in this division for labor performed during the months of March and April. are being made to day by Special Disbursing Agent Frank Doner and his assistants, in compliance with instructions received from Chairman Edes. The payments began today and will continue until all wage and salary claims for the TWO months authorized have been settled, Involving an outlay in ex- cess of fifty thousand dollars, which is more than half tho amount owed 70 railroad employees in this divi- sion
 While all employees of the com. mission were glad to accept half pay in order that the work of build 'ng the railroad might continue pend ng the allowance of more money by Congress. the receipt of the back pay It this time will come as a great re lief to many of the workers and re
 
 he division
 The balance of the money due employees of the commission, it is expected, will be released at an early late. There is ont sufficient money left to the credit of this division to wipe out the entire indebtedness, but 'mple funds are provided in the deficiency bill now awaiting the sig nature of the President to pay all de tered claims and to carry on the work at top speed until the end Of the month. By that time there is reason to believe Congress will have provided additional funds, probably sufficient to complete tho r2ilro1d.
 Advices received from Washington today are to the effect that members of Congress have agreed to hold night session in order to dispose of the large appropriation bills before the end of the fiscal year-Nenana News.

To DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractiveneSs.

Common garden sage brewed into n
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove q revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. - 49,
While wispY gray. faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and .luxuriant. 1890

Route Not Yet Chosen

Officials still maintained tonight
the route of the transatlantic flight
had not been definitely decided up
on, but in some quarters belief was
expressed the seaplane fleet would
fly direct to Ireland, both because the
distance is shorter and because the
prevailing winds are in the direction

Should the machine go via the
azores, they probably would be 20
hours in getting there from New

.SEAPLANE IN AIR
FOR OVER 20 HOURS
WORLDS RECORDS ESTABLISHED
BY MACHINE OF F-5 TYPE AT
HAMPTON ROADS. RI CHINE
COVERED DISTANCE OF 1880
MILES.

Washington, April PA naval sea
plane of the FE5 type PROP i y
two Liberty motors of 400-horse pow
cr each, and carrying a crew of four
men, remained in the air at the
Hampton Roads naval base for 20
hours and 10 minutes, establishing
what naval officials said was worlds
record for seaplanes. The machine
covered a distance of about 1850
miles, averaging little more than
SO miles an hour, despite a gale OF
20 to 80 miles.
Twenty hours is the time officers
here have estimated will be neces-
sa:y for the three naval seaplanes
to make the transatlantic flight from
New Foundland to Ireland, if a di-
rect route finally is decided upon, and
they said as the machine making the
record at Norfolk smuch smaller
than those to 50 over seas, y2ster
days performance augurs well for
the success Of the attempt to cross
the ocean
The distance IRON lleW FOundland
to Ireland is slightly more than 1900
miles, but the planes to be taken over
seas under Commander John IF. Tow
ors are capabloof faster speed than
these of F-5 type Their cruising
speed will be about 20 miles an hour,
although it is admitted that this will
be governed largely by the direction
and velocity Of the wind.
