.BULGARS RELEASE
GREEK PRISONERS

! In spite of hostile gestures by the
! Bulgars, the repatriation of Greeks
/ forcibly removed from their homes
in Eastern Macedonia by the Bulgars
virtually has been completed. The
world may never know how many
men, women and children lost their
lives through the deportations, but
that tens of thousands died is certain.
Reports just received at National
Headquarters of the American Red
Cross say that the BulgaEs claim less
than 10000 Greek civilians were in
termed in Bulgaria. but the Greeks
place the number at more than 1OO,-
600. The difference in the figures
doubtless represents the deaths OF
Greeks from starvation, exposure and
general bad treatment.
The dispatch with which the
repatriation was handled was due in
large part to the strong representa-
tions made to the allied control,
which brought pressure to bear on
the Bulgarian authorities, while the
cooperation of the British, French
and Greek missions that went to
Sofia after the armistice was signed
also was enlisted. The hostility of
the Bulgars led them into refusing
the permit for Red Cross workers
to enter Bulgaria, despite authority
from General d'Esperey, the allied
commander-in-chief, but this was
overcome as were BuIgar efforts to
prevent the establishment of canteens
for the returning Greeks.
One of the first problems in the
repatriation work was locating the
imprisoned Greeks in the remote
parts of Bulgaria. The Greek Red
Cross rendered invaluable aid in this
phase of the work, the American Red
Cross Mission to Greece attending to
,hc evacuation.
The condition of the rescued Greeks
was such that in spite of all that
could be done for them many died
before reaching their native land At
all of the food and clothing stations
established by the Red Cross one OF
the many tasks the American men
and women had to perform was to
dig graves for Greeks who died of
starvation and disease. All the while
nurses bathed and fed the children
of the refugees and cared for the
sick, while other workers, by pure
American bluff, secured the release of
Greeks unjustly imprisoned, demand
ed permits for the transport of cattle
owned by the refugees and clothed
the unfortUnates, all during the
limited time that the refugees trains
stopped for fuel or more passengers.
Although the repatriation problem
is disappearing there still remains a
vast amount OF work for the mission
to Greece. In common with the rest
Of the Near East, Greece is very short
Of medical supplies and equipment of
all kinds. Hospital patients lie on
boards upon which the only bedding
a thin blanket and because of the
neglect of native authorities to recog-
nize the menace OF flies as germ-car-
riers there is a dangerous plague of
flies. 1t is these conditions that the
mission is now seeking to overcome.

FINDS
BROOM ROMANCE

CHICAGO, April 24.-Mathema-
ticians and statisticians aver that fg-
ures are romantic, and some people
hnd it hard to believe, but an employe
Of the Chicago Public Library has
evolved through research a positive
romance of the broom.
The indispensable old household
utensil with which mother swept the
dust out Of corners. cobwebs of tine
rafters, and chased Towser out of the
kitchen, must now stand in the group
of immortals. even as it stands in
every clean kitchen.
witches Rode BrOOms.
Witchcraft is the basis Of this book
worms theme, and everyone knows
that no self-respecting witch ever
scudded across the face of the moon
or forced Paddy Murphy to sign a
pledge unless she rode on a broom.
There were good witches and bad
witches, he AYERS. Some were good to
good people and bad to bad people,
and they all rode on brooms. And the
broom was originally called a bosom
in the days when honest-to-goodness
WITCHES hilNCu GAAOuBn INC dlIlOS-
phere.
Good witches invariably made their
besoms from twigs of a shrub that
abounds on the downs and commons
Of the British Isles, which for cen
turies has been called broom, and for
which certain medicinal qualities
were claimed.
Therefore, the ancient British
housewife essayed a triple play by
making her bosom from the same
broom twigs used by good witches.
With it she kept her house clean,
kept her household healthful and
warded of evil spirits.
Takes Modern Name.
Cleanliness and benevoIence became
unbreakably linked with the twigs
used and in due time the utensil it
self became known as a broom. The
name is today universal among Eng
disappearing people.
This young historian further main
tains that the ancient and modern
housewife have the same basic idea,
because wherever you find brooms
you find clean, healthful housemaids,
and it all dates back to the Ancient
and Honorable Order of Witches.

LLOYD GEORGE WILL
ANSWER IRISH QUIZ

PARIS, Aprf1 24.-when Premier
Lloyd George receives the Irish
Aner1can delegates next week the
GiscusSions will be informal and the
SrlS1Hh statesman Is expected to reply
at length to the representations put
up to him. It was learned today.
The premier, it is understood, ex-
pressed the desire to hear the whole
story Of Irish sentiment in the United
states. He will receive ii from Frank
y. Walsh OF Kansas City; Michael
Ryan, OF Philadelphia, and former
Gov. Edward Dunno, OF Illinois.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
0ld-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back TO grand
mothers time. She used il to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance this simple mixtuIe e was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-Of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for a bottle
Of "Wyeth,s Sage and sulphur
Compound" you will get this ia
nous old preparation, improved by
the addition OF other ingredients
which can be depended upon TO re-
store natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A weIl-known downtown drug
gist says il darkens the hair SO
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell 1t has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with il and draw this
through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disa 7pears, and after
another application or two, il h.
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
