DOUBLE APPLE.

Good old Dame Nature has given
us many wonderful things, and also
many freaks. While in good many
cases she has had the help of men
who have made a study of social
phases of plant life, she can take
full credit for a large majority of
them. Now, up among the apple
orchards of the great Northwest she
has added new laurels to her already
long list by producing some really
remarkable double apples. @Siamese

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darker. Beautifully and Re-
stores Its Natural Color
and Lustre at Once

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and a!cohoi
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux,
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get the ready-to-use preparation I'M
proved by the addition of other in
gradients large bottle, at little cost
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not SIN
full, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it 80 nat
urally, 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 morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared
After another application or two
YOUR hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant and you
appear years younger.

Hanson TAKES LEAGUE STRAW VOTE

The public-at least the travelling
public-doesn't care a c0oky about
the League of Nations, in the opinion
of Ole Hanson, former mayor Of Seat

the results Of several straw votes on

extent Of their dependency, and the
extent of the soldiers disability. This
accounts for the fact that claims for

promptly as insurance claims. The

determine these cases as quickly as
thorough and intelligent handling will

The medical division has just COM

the preparation of schedule of dis
ability ratings for different injuries
and combinations of injuries, based on

tai disability. If the Sweet bill III. r.

for disability will be based upon 500

upon $50 as at present. This schedule
is necessarily very complicated, being

lions and degrees Of injuries, and

ence in order that full justice may be
done In all cases. 49, --ga.5,,yi>4.
"Unquestionably, the government In
surance contracts will be constantly
improved, as experience indicates the
need for improvements, and it is de-
cidedly to the advantage Of all OF Us
to hold the maximum amount of this
government insurance." adds the ID.
rector.
Reinstatement Of Insurance.
"A recent treasury decision has auth
orized the reinstatement of govern
ment insurance within 10 months after
discharge by the payment Of only two
months premiums on the amount of in
surance to be reinstated, one covering
the month of grace during which the
policy was In force, and one for the
month In which reinstatement Is made.
This Is a very generous provision, and
will make it possible for all ex-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again in their normal civil life. Indeed,
I look for a very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
act and it is made known to all those
who are affected.
1.-THE bureau appreciates tremendous
~ the cooperation it has had from
the insurance officials and the men OF
the insurance profession, and it IS to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the ex-service men by encour-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private companies. It Is my per
sonal opinion that all ex-service men
In such instances should combine In
their disapproval of such action, and
should in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty of such practices. Indeed,
in the years to come, I feel confident
that in such cases where ex-service
men have been advised in such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance, that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the I'M
scrupulous agent who in time Of test
was found wanting"

To-Day

HX ESTERDAY," writes Arthur

America was bounded by herself.
To-day she is bounded by the world.
yesterday, thanks to countless
leagues of the inviolate sea, she dwelt
apart, and spoke with complacency OF
her policy of isolation. Overnight the
United States was plunged into a world
war, and into the vortex of world poll
tics. In a twinkling her skyline. vida
as the continent, became vast 80 tvs
globe.
"Who would have dreamed in that
time when we spake slightingly OF
grape juice diplomacy that in four
more years President Wilson would be
seated in the Palace of Versailles,
dominant figure in the remaking OF
the Old World and the New? Who
would have dreamed when few Ameri'
can troops set out for Mexico in 1918
that before the end of 1918 over two
million Americans would be fighting
in France, in the North Sea and in the
uttermost parts of Siberia?
America at last has come to her

The engines and propellers are

The undercarriage, or landing

At this point it may be interesting
to rehearse briefly the history of the
Soviet Bureau in order to explain the
presence Of American business men in
the local Offices Of the Bolsheviki.
When Ludwig Martens announced late
last March that he was the official
representative of Lenine in the United
States he was unknown, except per-
haps to few business intimates and
Santeri Nuofteva. 1t was at the Of
fees of the latter, in 300 Broadway,
that he first issued this announcement.
His credentials, which he made pub
lie at the time, were signed by the
Soviet Minister, Of Foreign Affairs,
George Tchitcherin, and bore the seal
Of the Russian Soviet government.

sian citizen L. C. A. X. Martens was

Mr.. Dinwiddie, in an article on
"Alr-Travel Possibilities" in the

prising thing about the whole business
is the fact that they are coming even
now when public authorities, both bv
VFord and deed, have expressed their
deep disapproval Of the bureau and ara
about to make Martens and his at-
taches the subject of an extensive in
quiry.
l" tlme was announced to Santeri
Nuorteva. Nuorteva is the officia1
spokesman of the bureau and does al,
Its talking. He was born in
Finland in 1881 of Russian Swedish
parentage. "Part Of the Finnish bu-
reaucracy," added Nuorteva, with q
smile. He was graduated in 1909 from
the University of Helsingfors, and was
ior NUMBER of years an instructor Of
modern languages in the high schools Of
Finland. He was a member of tho F;n.
nlsn Parliament during the years 1907
to 1911, and was also member 30 +ho
i"eer-parllamentary committee of the
Finnish Socialist Parliament mer,hors
! and the Russian Duma members Ia
hnally came to this country as tho
representative of the Finnish Socialist
government to the United States. He
reads twelve languages and sneals civ
and he added, "of course l spent some
time in jail" This very proudly.
Talking to Nuorteva is not an easv
matter 1t seems that everything that
comes up in the Office of Martens for
decisive action is referred ito tho "d;,
lomatlc representative" which is Nuor-
teva's official title. l told him that 7
wanted to see and know what went IN
IN bolshevik office for a day, and was
told by him that I was entirely we,-
come to find out.
The routine Of the Soviet offices. ac-
cording to. Nuorteva, is very simn,e
Each day large mail is received and
consists respectively Of letters from
business concerns, from sympathizers
and from freaks. These letters are
distributed to one of the following four
departments in the bureau: The din
lomatic and publicity, either to Mr..
Martens or Mr.. Nuorteva; the CONNER
cial, to Mr.. Heller or Evans Clark. the
assistant director; the statistical or
legal to Isaac Hourwich, the coun.
sellor Of the bureau; and routine let
ters to Gregory Weinstein, the chan.
cellor.
l asked Nuorteva whether the bu-
reau was not carrying on propaganda
in this country, and he admitted that
1t was. He explained, however. that
1t was propaganda within the "bounds
OF diplomatic propriety." No interior
