aMistern for Military Men.

The American Legion is said to have
tabooed military titles in its business
and social meetings. Generals, majors,
colonies, lieutenants, captains, etc, will
be on the same plane as privates. War
distinctions viii be forgotten or ig-
nored Everybody will be addressed as
plain mister"
If there was ever any doubt as to
the essential Americanism of the Le-
gion, this ought to settle the matter.
Could there be anything more purely
American than this sweeping aside Of
army titles by army men?
1t means democracy. Mr." is the
universal democratic title.
1t also means -militarism. Sure
" there can be no militarism without
military titles. Thus one fear felt by
many citizens when this big body of
war veterans was organized may be
dismissed 1t is to be an organization
of Americans, meeting on the level of
ordinary citizenship held together only
by the bond of common experience in
a great cause.
There is a lesson in this, too, for such
Americans as tend to stray from the
plain path of democracy in quest OF
titular honors What about all the
men who love to be called colonel. >
though they never drew sword OF
smelt powder smoke? They are not
all in Kentucky either, nor have they
all been given a quasi-fight to the title
by membership on some governors
staff. If titles are to be so modestly
regarded in military circles, private
eitizens can do no less than rid them
selves of military pretense. Concord

THE BEACH Of' lJfScAMo
BY NJ. Devere Staepoole. The John
Lane Co. publishers. New York city
This is Treasure Island. Robinson
Crusoe. and many Of the other adj
venture stories we have loved rolled
into one, and an interesting and novel
feature is that the Robinson Crusoe
of this tale is a woman. Cast adrift
on a desert island with two men, she
outlives them both and Is found after
several months of lonely sojourn on
the inhospitable shore by a sailor cast
away from another wreck. by whose
assistance she ultimately gains the
civilized world. Never, in her widest
dreams of emancipation has modern
woman conceived of such freedom as
was experienced by this society girl
the victim of yacht wreck-when size
found herself (after having slain in
self-defense the sailor who was mar
last remaining COMPANION on the bar
rem shore) monarch of all she sur
veyed" with pelicans and sea e'e-
plants for her only neighbors. How
she daily grew more interested in these
strange friends and came to love and
trust them gives this story of adven-
ture an unusual touch Of pathos. Mr..
Stacpoole's description of the sea and
the South Sea Islands Is at all times
unpa ralleled. but the story Of this
woman's ingenious mode of living and
of her mental and spiritual develop
ment as a result of her strange soil
tary life is an unusual theme In sea
yarn and gives to it UNIQUE flavor. .

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea
and Sulphur Recipe and
Nobody Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out of-date. Nowadays, by asking sat
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well know downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv

The hedge in the story is both real
and symbolic. Actually it is a very
| solid, evergreen rampant 20 feet high"
about Sarah's house; more pertinently
it is the temper of her father. More
accurately it is the temperament of her
| father. for he never gets angry9. in
other words, never puts himself at a
disadvantage. He is professor in the
university. a great scholar, a rational
list, despiser of instinct, rather Teu-

though such men occur here and there
even in the best regulated countries.
Sarah and her mother are passionately
anxious for companionship, for people,
for sociability, but Professor Cawthorne
will not allow them to break through
the hedge. Some one else might have

She is too lovely not to be found out;
| the two men in the story do it.
One believes in "Dickory Dock" be-
cause we believe in Sarah, thoroughly
| delightful lady, delightful because she
has spent her life behind "the hedge"
and takes such ohildlike joy in the
| things other people take for granted.

piece in color by c. Allen Gilbert.

York city.
HeEtuan ISQpall-- SnGTEy wasted
a legacy amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars. Homeless, penniless,
he deliberately set himself to the task
of rebuilding his wasted strength, of
re-establishing his lost self esteem. He
makes up his mind to start life all over
again, to work his way up from the
depths to the heights.
Almost at the outset. of his enter
prise, he encountered the girl who was
to make the effort more than worth
while for him-pretty, self-willed,
warm hearted Norma O'Brien. Despite
the reckless prodiga1ity that has
brought him from high estate to a
low one, he is made of the stuff that
defies adversely. and his climb upward,
from the humble position of an ordi-
nary day laborer, is a source of amaze
ment to erstwhile critics and scoffers.
The story of how this CHEEKY, engag-
ing young man accepts employment in
the home of Andrew Gilman, the miser,
and of his adventures while serving the
old man as secretary and guardian, is
one that carries interest from Begin
ming to end. The sinister mystery that
confronts him in this house the unex-
pected solution, and the grim back
