block, which was swept by fire last
week for the second time in the last
five years, will be one of the hand
soonest business blocks in the city.
Much criticism concerning the lack
OF fire-fighting equipment OF the
local fire department has been heard
since the disastrous fire of Friday.
The firefishting apparatus of Camp
Lee was called TO aid in fighting the
flames and many belieye that if it had
not been for the excellent work of the
soidier-firemen, several blocks would
have fallen prey to the fire.
Plans are already under way by the
members of the city council to secure
at once much better fire-fighting
equipment than Is at present at the
disposal of the local department

When it comes to restoring its
damaged fighters, the government
has means and resources far beyond
those of any human being or ordi-
nary agency. Quite recently a young
woman was located in Savannah, Ga.
who was an expert at teaching the

had lost their hearing. Now she

"My pupils had all been children, but
they learned so rapidly and tried so

up vision of hard splendid offices,

when the government is referred to.

Declares There Is No lnsufficiency of
Credit for the Needs Of Any Useful

Observation-Disclosures in the fin

ability to float the forthcoming Vic
tory Liberty Loan was expressed Tues-
day by Secretary Glass in replying to
the suggestion of Senator Calder of
New York, that a special session of
congress should be called to stop de.
probation in the market price of lib

Far from agreeing that the decline
In outstanding bonds might jeopardize
the popular campaign for flotation Of
the Victory issue this month, thereby
tying up credits by forcing the banks
to take the new bonds, Mr.. Glass de-
clared that he was assured the treas

problems of the country would have
the support of united and victor
ious people," Depreciation in bonds,

SCYTHES USED BY

MANY CASUALTIES INFLICTED IN
CLASH BETWEEN MOB AND
THE POLICE.
Cut Telegraph Wires and Set Fire to
Town Hall, Attack Postoffice and
Police Stations, Mob Number
ing 100000.

Heoul.--Serious disorders have oc-
eastern Korea, according to dispatches
received here. 1t is said that Koreans
numbering 100000 gathered at Samga,
rut telegraph wires and set fire to the
town hall. Armed with scythes, mem
bers of the mob are reported to have
attacked the postoffice and police sta
lions. There was severe fighting and
many casualties were inflicted in the
clash between the mob and the police
and small detachment of troops.
Strong reinforcements have been sent
tor Samga. Unrest continues through
out the country.
II. FHashmidzu, chief representative
here of the japanese department of
foreign affairs deprecates, in the
course of statement'giye out Satur-
day, rumors that foreigners have par
ticipated in the riots and asks consuls
to warn their nations not to approach
scenes of rioting because of the danger
that their actions might be misunder-
stood. The recent insinuation that
Ransford s. Miller, American consul
general, was implicated in disorders
in this city, was gross injustice, he
pointed out, and resulted from Mr..
Miller's motoring past point where a
demonstration was going on.
Abiding to charges Of cruelty pre-
ferred by the semiofficial Korean press
against Japanese troops, M. Hashmidzu
said that the police and soldiers may
have dealt harshly with rioters while
excited" but added he found 1t hard
to believe the Japanese "acted like the
Huns in Belgium" Some stories, he
remarked, were so shocking that they
could not be believed, but, pevertheless,
many missionaries appear to place
credence in them.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay 0rayi Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
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 at
any drug store for a 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.

to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggis.
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft prush 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, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

KEEP THEIR MONEY At HOME
Many People In England Evidently
VIII Not Entrust Savings to the
Care Of Banks.

A vast amount Of money still lies
uninvested in the country, declares the
London Mail. In Yorkshire village
there is a fisherman who is known to
have five thousand dollars In notes in
his hirty-dollar-a-year cottage. He
wears clothes which cost about ten
dollars before the war, and owns a
fishing boat worth one thousand or If
teen hundred dollars. In the same vii
lage short time ago fisherman
bought his cottage. and when the own
er called for deposit he counted out
fifteen hundred dollars In gold, the full
purchase price. In neighboring town
there is at least one fisherman who
has five thousand dollars or more in
notes in his little house, but he can
not be induced to invest any Of 1t.
When he has been urged to do so he
has said that he preferred to have 1t
near him as 1t is saferi" A woman In
Yorkshire country town one morning
walked into lawyers Office and pro-
duced O handbag containing two thou
sand half-sovereigns which she had
collected In thirty years. After asking
advice on investing the money she
stated that at night she took the hand
bag up to her bedroom. When she
travelled she took the handbag with
her, and ON one occasion left 1t on the
rack in the train. She remembered
her treasure before she left the station
and recovered 1t.
