u. S. Board Upholds
Wire Rate Increase

WASHIN NGTON, April I'm
making public today a statement IN
which it gives figure, upon which is
based the increase Of telegraph rates
the wire control board, directs at,en-
ton 10 the fact that while the increase
in prices of products and service OF
various industrial and mercantile cor
poratiors have increased 100 percent
telegraph service has been rendered
at pre-war prizes Throughout the period
when industrial and business profits
were unprecedented
"The increase of 20 percent in 'ele-
graph rates, says the statement,
Should be considered in comparison
with the 100 percent increase in other
prices and it is less than that found
necessary to add to the railroad freigh,
rates, and is no greater than has been
made generally in other public utility
rates in order to obviate financial
collapse."

An Old Recipe
To Darken Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

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 10
get this mixture was TO make it al
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle OF this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as i, does ii so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. (Adv.)

LONDON, April 9.--rhe Pail Mall
Gazette gives prominence to the fol-
lowing special dispatch from Paris:
ut is definitely au,hori,atively
stated that on the three principal
points at issue President Wilson holds
very definite views namely, on repara-
tions. the Saar Valley anf Russia.
"lIe stands for no indemnities
Nom Germany while France
stands for the last sou obtainable.
He stands for only such repara-
ton as will not cripple Germany,
while France feels that only BY
Stacking Germany can she revive
or survive.
"As for the Saar Valley, Wilson
says in effect to France you may
have coal, but not a single Ger
man shall you control
As regards Russia, there Is
growing evidence of Mr.. Wilson's
desire or Willingness to recognize
the bolshevist COVER ent,
movement strongly opposed by
France"
II is premature to comment on this
Dispatch except to say that the atti-
tude Of the British public was most
plainly indicated in last election on
the subject of indemni,ies. that the
attitude OF the present House of Com
mons on this subject is aggressive and
that any premier who fails to obtain
reasonable success on this point will
return to England TO meet the cry OF
peace without victory" and a most
interesting political situation.

Modern Forestry Turns
Against Word "W0odIot"
in Professional Lingo

Forestry is a new science, compare
lively speaking, and so it is not sur
prising that it's leading opponents have
just reached the point Of perfecting the
language in which its work is ex-
pressed. Every profession has its Pc
culiar vocabulary; in some cases the
"lingo" is the most impressive feature
of the profession.
One of the first steps taken in ele-
waiting and Identifying the language Of
forestry is the Punishment of the good
old word 'woodlot," says the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle. 1t was more
in use in New England than anywhere
else and possessed a distinct meaning
there that was well understood by the
natives. One forestry expert says that
"woodlot" does not mean anything in
sections of the country where a tract
Of forest may embrace thousands Of
acres. eve have nothing in the West"
says Professor Cheney of the Universe
ty of Minnesota, ''that corresponds to
this eastern expression"
1t is quite possible, however, that
the real secret of the offensiveness Of
the word to professional ears is better
explained by State Forester Holmes
of North Carolina, who boldly declares
that ito me 'woodlot forestry sounds
perfectly ridiculous" So it has been
decreed that "woodlot" cannot be toll
Grated in learned society. Removing it
from the common speech of New Eng
land is another matter.

CHAPTER VIII.
A Victory and a Defeat.

l arose silently to my feet, fully
aware that all hope Of thwarting this
villainy lay in immediate action. San
chez had turned slightly and stood
with his face toward the bay. 1 ven
tured cautious step forward and
stood on the open sand, scarcely q
yard to his rear. Some vague sense
OF my presence must have Influenced
the man, for he swung suddenly about.
uttering stifled cry of startled sur
prise, as we met face to face. For an
instant We were locked so closely
within each others desperate grip, his
head bent beneath my arm, with my
fingers clutching at his throat to block
any call for help, that he possessed no
knowledge of his assailant's identity.
But the man was like tiger. The
surprise of attack was to my advan-
tage, yet almost before l realized what
was being done he had rallied. broken
my first hold. and his eyes were glar-
ing straight into mine. Then he knew
me, his free hand instantly grasping
at his knife. Even as he jerked it
AoA III \ ~ uchSu "lISL "il1llU my
fingers, forcing his forearm back.
There was no cutlery, no noise, except
that of our heavy breathing and tram
ping feet. Personal hatred had as
tendency in both our hearts-I doubt
IL he ever thought of aught else but
the desire to kill me there with his
own hands. Only once did he even
utter a word, kissing out the sentence
as though it were a poison:
ITO bell with you, you sneaking
English curl"
What followed has to me no clear
ness, no consistency. Never have 1
fought with deeper realization that 1
needed every ounce of strength and
every trick Of wit and skill. Now I
knew the fellow possessed greater
knowledge of the game than l and q
