First Flyer to Cross
Ocean to Carry Films
of Industrial Plants

Aeronautical journals announce
that over twenty builders of planes
are fast completing flyers especially
designed for the transatlantic flight
which will positively be attempted
this spring. Harry Levey, maker
of industrial motion pictures for the
Universal Company, has proposed
to the Aero Club of America, under
whose auspices the flight will be
held, to raise a purse of 100000.
Leading business houses will con-
tribute a thousand dollare each for
the privilege of having their plant
officers and product filmed in the
same multiple reel film dipicting the
preparations, the start, the flight and
the landing. said films to be shown
all over the world. Each flyer will
ner will actually have the motion
pictures abroad in his epoch-mak-
ing trip.
Mr.. Levey says: american man.
ufacturers are keenly alive to screen
advertising. One of our clients
alone has spent over hundred
thousand dollars during the past
year for making and distributing in
dustrial films of his plant and pro-
duct. A thousand dollars will be
easily forthcoming from each firm
that wishes worldwide notice for its
enterprise in having made the trip
possible in subscribing to the purse.
1t is fitting that the aeroplane and
the motion picture, both American
inventions, should be associated In
this history-making event."

PEACE
PROGRAM CAUSES
WILSON CONCERN
President May Not Be Able to
Avoid Second Trip
to France
is TO SAIL FROM BREST
Opinion. Prevails That Extra
Session of Congress May
Come in June
BY Associated Press

Paris, Jan. 29.-Much as President
trip to Europe, it begins to look as
if the trend of Peace Conference af-
fairs would cause him to feel i'm
PEELED to recross the Atlantic in the
early spring. The President is wait
ing to see what the remaining fifteen
days of his stay in France will bring
forth before finally deciding on his
course.
He is said to have told American
officials that If events indicated the
need of his return he felt that his
course would be found fully justified
when he addressed Congress, as he
plans to do almost Immediately on
his return to the United States.
Will Sail From Brcst
He has abandoned the idea of re-
turning by way of England and
stopping at oxford to receive the de-
gree which that university desires
to confer upon him. If his present
plans hold, therefore, he will sail
from Brest on the steamer George
w lOll, ilON Oh ISI way ~
France. between February 10 and 10,
going direct to the United States.
The steamer will probably take
the southern route, which she fol-
lowed on her way over, to avoid bad
weather.
President Wilson's arrival home
with plans for departing for Europe
again would bring up the question
of an extra session of the new Con-
gress with Republican majorities in
both houses.
May Call Congress For June
The best available opinion here
is that if an extra session should
be thought inevitable the President
would call it before his return to
France, probably setting the date
ahead to some time in June, expect
ing to finish the business of the
Peace Conference in time to return
to Washington and be in the White
House when the new Congress as
sembled.

Device That Finds Oil
Causes 100000 Suit

New York. Jan. 2S.-A little box
that is said to point out oil wells.
just as the "divining rod" or peach
tree limb is supposed to find water
veins, is the cause of contention in
suit filed in the Supreme Court in
volving more than sS.0OO,O0O.
The court papers refer to the de-
vice merely as a "radium instru-
ment." Walter Carroll Low, attor-
ney for Hugo j. Won Hagen. owner
of the oil finder, told reporter that
the device was a small box with a
dial, about which hand revolved.
Il have been Informed that If the
instrument is being carried on a
train going at the rate of sixty miles
an hour and it passes over an oil
deposit the hand will wiggle like
mad" said the lawyer.
DIR. Won Hagen. mining expert. is
suing Karl j. Schumacher, said to
be n buyer for the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, for 100000. He
says that in May, 1917, he entered
into an oral agreement with Schu-
macher to allow him the use of the
"radium instrument" in finding oil
wells.
The defendant used the magic box
in finding oil on twenty different
tracts of 23,704 acres, the complaint
alleges and that the oil found on
these tracts exceeds 100000 in
value.

DIAMONDS ARE EXPENSIVE

Chicago-"It is impossible" said
a jeweler, ''to give the exact price
of diamonds per carat on the mar
ket. This is because of the great
difference in the quality of the
stones. Any diamond buyer will tell
you that every diamond he pur-
chases is an individual trade prob
lem. The best diamonds are from
the Jagersfontein mines in South
Africa. The stones from the Wes-
selton mine rank next on the mar
ket. Most of the real blue-white
diamonds come from these mines.
Diamonds are grouped in the trade
according to quality as op-crystals,
crystals, top silver-capes, silver
capes, top-capes, capes and by-wa-
ters. By-waters are the cheapest
yellow diamonds. You can buy
them perhaps for 500 a carat now.
Good diamonds, however. sell now
for from $3.50 to $500 a carat. But,
as l said diamonds are individual
problems and some sell for much
more per carat. / have just sold
n Jaegersfontein stone of four and
half carats-a pure blue-white--
for $11, 900"

NO COLD WAVE
IN SIGHT, SAYS
WEATHER MAN
Farmers Flowing and Putting
Out Early Crops in Balmy
Atmospheres

Like dust whirl in the street;
like Finnegan-off again, on again"
is the way Forecaster Demain to-
day described our present weather,
and he offered no solution to the
strangely summer-like conditions
excepting that storms after storms
in Canada. with low barometer
keep down the western cold, thus
giving us such salubrious spring
days. Tonight the thermometer will
drop down to about 20 degrees
above zero, Just a little below freez-
ing, but the week promises to be
warm, like yesterday, and there is no
indication of cold snap. The mis-
guided person who hiked to Florida
might as well have stayed north,
but then, what's the use of lucre If
you do not spend it.
Speaking for farmers, Mr.. Follen-
berger, assistant manager of the
Hershey farm, gave the glad hand
to all farmers, predicting that this
mild weather would mean millions
to tillers of the soil. I'VE have been
plowing since December and spread
ing fertilizers, and uow, no matter
how cold it gets, the farmers who
did likewise will be away ahead of
the game. Next year should be a
record breaker. The mild weather
is grand for corn and oats; the
wheat could stand a little snow, but
it will only be a bit later coming on.
Onions? Sure, they're planting them,
and many other vegetables. The
ground is in fine condition, and
Pennsylvania is getting a prime start
on the season."
Weather expert, Mr.. Demain, says
that even If we do get a cold spell"
it cannot last long, for June 81 is
the shortest day of the year, mark
ing midsummer and comm along.

BRITISH NEED
MILLION MEN FOR
AFTER THE WAR
Cabinet Considers Question of
Selective System to Main
tain Large Army

London. Jan. ga special meet
ing of the cabinet held to-day was
attempted by Winston Spencer
Churchill, Sir Eric Geddes, Sir Rob-
ert Stevenson Horne, the new labor
minister, and Generals Sir Henry
Wilson and Sir William Robertson.
Urgent questions regarding demo-
bilization were discussed.
1t is understood that the con-
ferees reached the conclusion that
there was no prospect for months to
come of the voluntary enlistment of
sufficient men for the army of occu-
patton and the salvage of property
in the war theaters, for properly
garrisoning India, Gibraltar and the
crown colonies, to insure the safety
of the United Kingdom, and safe
guard the results of the victory in
Palestine, MeSopotamia and Turkey,
and that hence it would be neces-
sary to adopt some system of Sc
lection, and place the men retained
as nearly as possible in the same
position as they would be in civil life
with regard to pay and other condi-
tions.
1t is considered that the purposes
above stated, about one million men
would be required, which means,
roughly. that three out of every
four men will be demobiliZed. and
the fourth retained Ito finish the
job" And the idea is to release the
men who have already rendered the
most service to the country. Prob
ably some stipulated date will be
fixed and all the men who Joined
the service previous to that will be
demobilized.
1t is understood in connection
with the plan that the government
will seek powers compulsory to re-
tain the men selected for the cur
rent year. 1t is said that it may
be taken as settled that there is no
intention of continuing conscrip-
ton, but that such compulsory pow
ers are regarded as an essential pre-
step to the reintroduction
of the voluntary system when peace
is assured.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
IF Mixed with Sulphur
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tel.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" 1t is very
popular because nobody en- discover
t has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it and
5raw this through your hair taking
1ne small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sideG beautifully darkening the hair
after g fow applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de-
Nghtful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. It
