COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladies'! Try this! Darkens beautifully
and nobody can tell-Brings back
its gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol add
ed, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome, An
easier way is to get the ready-to-usc
preparation improved by the addition
of other ingredients a large bottle, at
little cost, at drug stores, known as
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful APP
pearance and attractiveness. BY dark
ening your hair with Wyeth S Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair
taking one small strand at a 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 year,
younger.-Adv

TO TRY TO REPEAL
TAX ON IUXURIES"
Resolution to That Effect to Be Intro
duced by Kitchin When
Bill is Signed

WASHINGTON, Feb. TO-" OF
course | can do nothing toward the re-
peal of the socalled luxury taxes un'
til the President signs the revenue bill +,
but as soon as he does sign it | shall in
troduce a resolution for the repeal of
those taxes, said Claud Kitchin
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee last night.
Even while the bill was in the joint
conference committee Mr.. Kitchin had
said that at the proper time he would
move for the repeal of the luxury
taxes but could not press that point
in the conference, as it might compli
cate further a situation already suti-
iently complicated.
In explaining the situation, Senator
Lodge said that the "luxury taxes
had been framed in the house while the
country was at war, but that after the
armistice the senate finance committee
| had struck them out aud the house had
also desired to expunge them, look
| ing on them only as an extreme wal
tax The senate itself, however, haC
inserted the taxes and had made i
impossible for the conferces to tak'
them out of the bill. y
It might be possible, Senator Lodg
further explained, to pass joint resolu
tion later to remove the taxes from tn
operation of the law, and it is such
resolution that Kitchin proposes to in
troduce.
Protests against the luxury take
have poured in from every section o
the country, and both vendors and con
sumers seem to be opposed to them.
As there are only about doze
working days left to the present COZ
eress, however, it may not be possibl
to put through the joint resolution, a
though it is understood that every effol
will be made to do so.

5000 COSTA REGAIN
 TROOPS ABOUT ID
 ENTER NICARAGUA
Nicaragua Has No Army and Will Likely Look to United States For
 Protection
By Associated Press

Washington. February 1S.-Eight thou sand Costa Rican troops have been mo- bilized on the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua and threaten the inva- sioE of the latter country. Dispatches to the Nicaragua legation today announcing this threat to the peace of Central Amer ica. said the leader of the troops was Julian Irias, premier of Nicaragua under the Zelaya government which was over thrown by revolution 10 years ago.
 With the exception of police and lega- tion guard of TO United States marines, there are no armed forces iu Nicaragua. as that country does not maintain q standing army. It was said in soTe quarters that Nicaragua would look to the United States for protection in event she was attacked.
 The Costa Rican threat is believed by officials here to date back to the over throw of the Zelaya government Many os Zelaya's followers fled the country when he lost his power and coneregated in Costa Rica. Later when Nicaragu" followed the action of the United States in refusing to recognize the Tinoco gov ernment in Costa Rica, President Tinoco gave many of the Zelaya supporters com nands in his army. President Tlnocd is said to be very bitter toward Presi- dent Chamororra of Nicaragua, not only because of the refusal to recognize his government, but because of the prosper ity that has come to Nicaragua through its close relations with the United States.
 Officials here also see in the Costa Rican mobilization results of the work of German uropa gandists The state de- partment was said to have evidence that German propaganda was carried on in Costa Rica during the war and that it has been active since the signing of the armiStice.

WARREN H. MANNING
 VISITS BIRMINGHAM
Noted City Planning Expert Spends Day COnferring
 With Developers

Warren II. Manning of Boston, one of
 America's foremost landscape architects,
 spent yesterday in Birmingham confer
 ring with local developers. MT. Manning
 is the architect who was employed by the
 city commission sometime ago to make a
 city plan of Birmingham and his work,
 which comprises 26 maps, is master
 piece in the city planning line.
 MT. Manning spent several years in
 gathering data and drawing maps show ing Jefferson countys development and plans for future growth. All of this in- formation. obtained at a cost of nearly
 Sit0c. will shortly be published in book form by the Birmingham Real Estate ex- change for the edification of local busi- ness men.
 Upon being advised of the exchanges s proposal to publish this city plan Nil.
 Manning was very enthusiastic in ap- plauding the idea.
 The progressive spirit in which local realtors have taken hold of this plan de- serves commendation," said MT Man ning. At the present time all these maps and this valuable data compiled at an enormous expense, lie hidden in the pub iic library By reproducing this city plan n book form and putting it on sale at
 nominal cost the exchange will place n the hands of every enterprising citizen guide to be used in the future devel- ! opment of this great industrial section ' MT. Manning has supervised the devel- l )pment of many large subdivisions in the United States and his opinions on city planning, highway construction, grade crossings, sewerage systems, parks and other engineering problems is regarded highly by leading community builders everywhere.
