JUDGE TRYING MILITANTS GROWS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While the
Susan B. Anthony amendment was
| being beaten again in the United
States senate thirty-nine militant
! sutfragists who burned President
Wilson in effigy before the white
house faced trial in the District
Court of Columbia police court.
twenty-five of the demonstrators, in
Guiding nine women Of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation, were sentenced to
five days each, while the other cases
were dismissed because the Judge
grew weary of the proceedings.
After he had passed sentence up
on twenty-five of the women Judge
Harrison demanded to know how
many more there were to be called.
When he was told that six or seven
still remained he announced.
"The court is dismissed" and re-
fused to call the cases. The charges
against them were building fires on
government property, standing on
the coping around the white house
or attempting to make speeches.
Mrs. H. o. Havemeyer, of New
York, who was given five days, said
in court:

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and

troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients

stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is delightful toilet requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the cure,
Mlgitation or prevention of disease.

by bites or stings Of the insect. In the
first place the cicada has no sting or
bite and no poison to inject. The
human race is free, even if vegeta-
ton is not, it is stated.
The destruction of the cicada may
be accomplished with insecticides if
applied at the moment of emergence
from the ground or shortly after it
has shed its paupal skin and is still
soft and comparatively helpless. Best
results are obtained, the entomolo-
gists explain, with a Persian powder
known as pyrethrum. A per cent
solution of carbolic acid, or 5 per
cent. solution of acetic acid, sprayed
directly on the insects is also effect
i've.
In this connection farmers are
warned that certain precautionary
methods, however, are of more i'm
portance than curative ones. In all
regions where there is to be an out
| burst of the cicada all pruning opera
| tons should be neglected during the
preceding winter and spring in order
to offer a large twig growth and thus
to distribute the damage over a great
er surface.
Another interesting feature of the
cicada is the method of keeping tab
on the cicada. Government entOmOl-
ogists have a map of the United
States and as the reports are received
Of the development and growth of
the insect a record Is made and plac-
ed in the state report. They are al
SO classified into seventeen broods
and from the map these scientists can
tell how each brood is maturing in
the entire United States. For in
stance, in Ohio brood No. II will APP
pear, while in southern states brood
No. l3 will burst forth. SO. five years
from now if you care to know how
the locusts are getting along in your
state these entomologists can tell you
right "off the bat" just when they
will appear.

FIRE IN SAVANNAH DESTROYS
S5,OOO'OOO,OOO IN PROPERTY
Five Thousand Bales of Cotton and
1900 Tons of Nitrate on Seaboard
Pier and Fertilizer Plant Go Up.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-While definite
losses sustained in Fridays fire on
Hutchinson Island, when the immense
plant of the Southern Fertilizer and
Chemical company was practically
destroyed and parts of the Seaboard
Air Line terminals either destroyed
or badly damaged were not officially
known tonight, it is estimated they
approximate $5,000,000. Of this the
Southern Fertilizer and Chemical
company sustained loss of $1,000
600, quarter-million being the val
ue of the plant and the balance the
value of the stock on hand.
The heaviest loss was sustained on
the cotton pier of the Seaboard Air
Line, where seven sheds, containing
5000 bales of cotton were destroyed.
On this pier 1,275 tons of nitrate of
soda was burned. Some damage was
sustained on the rosin and lumber
piers and one ship caught fire but
flames were extinguished before any
damage resulted.
A trainload of Texas and Louisia-
ma cotton, sent here for export, was
destroyed during the fire. This was

CRY OF The CICADA>
SOON TO Be HEARD
LOCUST SUPERSTITION EXPLOD-
ED BY FEDERAL ENTOMOLO-
GIST. WILL COME IN MAY.

The cry of the cicada is soon to
be heard in the land-or at least that
portion of the land lying east of the
Mississippi. To be exact, its rasping
Shrek will be set up in May, accord
ing to entomologists of the depart
ment of agriculture. And astrono-
mers can predict ecIipses with nc
greater accuracy than these ento-
mologists foretel the advent of the
cicada.
The cicada, according to a bulletin
just issued by the department, al
though commonly known as a locust
is not locust at all, all locust being
grasshoppers. This bulletin also ex-
planned why the cicada appears at in
tervals of thirteen and seventeen
years, and blasts old-time supersti
tons that it foretells by the mark
ings on its wings war and peace. II
also eXplodes a popular fallaey by
explaining that the bite of the insect
Is not poisonous, for the simple rea-
son that the insect has no bite at all.
It takes from thirteen years to
seventeen years for a cicada to de-
velop, and in this connection the en-
tOmologists point out one Of the
queerest things in nature that in
spite of such extremely slow growth
in their subterranean habitat all the
millions of individuals attain matur-
ity and burst from the ground at al
most the same moment.
The supsetitiOn attached to the
cicada are dispelled by the entomolo-
gists. Some people have fancied that
they could detect in the cry of the
cicada a resemblance to the name of
the monarch Pharaoh, while others
attached some superstition to the
dark bars of the flmy wings. These
bars, it is explained, are always in
the shape of the letter wv" and this
outbreak coming at the conclusion of
the great war the cicada, as usual,
will be greeted as a harbinger of dis
aster and reports of deaths caused
