Exceeds $15,OOO,OOO

Chicago, Jan. 15.AArmour and
company's annual report issued to-
day showed a record volume of
1901 100000 for the fiscal year of
1918, compared with $57s,0QO,0OO in
1917, and net ineome-of $15,247, 837.-

ord volume, record low profits were
produced.
The net income represented a re-
turn of l47 per cent on common

the exception of 100000 paid in
dividends to common stockholders,
the balance was reinvested in the
business.
The net profits represented re-
turn of 9 per cent on the average
net capital invested in. all lines, but
the income from, the meat food
business-limited by the govern
ment to 9 per cent-fell to about
half that rate. The net profit on.
total volume-limited to rs per
cent-was only 1.9 cents on each
dollar Of sales.
I'VE are helpless in the matter Of
reducing prices, said ]. Ogden Ar
mour, head Of the concern, in the
statement. They are high because
of the heights to which live stock
and labor have gone. Our labor
costs last year were $20,000,000 more
than the preceding year. The same
number Of pounds of live stock cost
us in 1918 $l0O,0OO,OOO more than

Paris, Jan. l5.-Hitherto it has
been the practice of the govern

nary peace conversations says a
statement given out by the official
press bureau today, to issue sep
arate communicates regarding the
proceedings. From today it has
been decided to issue a joint conf
munique. Following is the English
text of today's communique and
American delegations:
"The president of the United
States and the prime ministers and
foreign ministers of the allied pow
ers, assisted by the Japanese am
bassadors in Paris and London, held
two meetings today In the course
of these meetings the examination
CT the rules of the conference has
been continued and almost COM
pleted.
1T was decided that the United
States, the British empire, France,
Italy and Japan should be repre-
sented by FIVE delegates apiece.
The British dominions and India,
besides, shall be represented as fol-
lows:
Two delegates respectively from
Australia, Canada, South Africa, and

its status at the conference.
"Two-In the selection of its dele

of the panel system. This will en-
able each state at discretion to en-
trust its interests to such persons as

Nine Killed and so
Injured by Explosion
Of Tank Of Molasses

Boston, Jan. l5.-Nine persons
were killed and so injured by the
explosion of huge tank Of malasses
on the water front off Commercial
street near Keany square, today.
Early tonight, the only bodies
that could be identified were those
of a fireman and two residents of
tenements in the vicinity. A large
number of the injured were taken
to the Relief hospital The tank
was owned by the Purity Distilling
company, a subsidiary of the United
States Industrial Alcohol company,
with plant in Cambridge.
A dull, mufled roar gave but an
instant's warning before the top of
the tank was blown into the air.
The circular wall broke into two
great segments of sheet iron which
were impelled in opposite direc-
tions. Two million gallons Of mo-
lssses rushed in a mighty stream
over the streets and converted into
a sticky mass the wreckage of sew
eral small buildings which had been
smashed by the force of the ex-
plesion.
Harry F. Dolan, attorney for the
Purity Distilling company, said to-
night that officers of the company
assumed that the tank was broken
by something which acted upon it
from the outside.
1T is possible the tank may have
been broken by enemies of the Unit
ed States who knew that we were
engaged during the war in the man
ufacture of alcohol which was used
in the making OF munitions" he
said.

OMAHA POLICE
MAKE DEMAND
FOR MOREPAY
Continued From Page One.)

holding out to the policemen hopes
of getting these high salaries"
Detectives Van Dusen and Nc
Donald represented the policemen
They stated that the passage OF
their schedule of salaries by the
legislature will add about 100000
annually to the salaries OF Omaha
policemen. This is some $4,000
more than would be added by the
schedule of salaries proposed by
Commissioner Ringer and endorsed
by the council.
Increase Out of Proportion.
WED like to do this" said Com
missioner IRE, "but if we added any
such sum to the budget, we wouldn't
be able to look the taxpayers in the
face. Besides, we are now at the
peak of high prices. If we were to
give such big increases they would
be out of all proportion to wages in
other lines. Especially is this true
when you remember that policemen
have the pension fund and after 81
years service they can retire on half
pay. That is consideration"
!. Chief of Police Eberstein said the
men ought to have the increase ask
ed because they are delivering the
goods"
1t was suggested that the demands
be made the maximum and be paid
only to No. / men in each class,
others to be paid less at the discre-
ton Of the chief.
Chief Eberstein mentioned the
Ford Motor company's So a day
minimum of $3.50 month.
"But those men," said Mr.. Zim-
man, have to keep up a strain of
hard work all day that is almost I'M
endurable. Men have told me so
who worked in the Ford plant"
Detective VanDusen stated that
it costs $147.85 to outfit policeman
with his two uniforms, two over
coats, shoes, club, revolver, etc. He
has to pay for all this.
The only thing that keeps US on
the job" said Van Dusen, us look
ing forward to the old age pension.
Sometimes we work for days and
nights at a stretch without sleep or
rest. Its a thankless job, a dogs
life. A policeman gets only knocks
and abuse"
Chief Eberstein said he would
rather cut down the number of men
on the force and have well-paid,
satisfied men than to have the pres
ent number Of unsatished men.
The case was referred to Ringer,
Van Dusen and Chief Eberstein to
try to reach an agreement on a sal
airy schedule. They will report to
the council this morning.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur bring back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness.

coAofs gloss ana yOuhnAuAusSss
Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation if your hair is fading,
streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage
Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get a bottle Of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store all ready for use. This
is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, ray, faded hair is
not sinful. we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attrac-
tiveness. By darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
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 time; by morning all gray hairs
have disappeared, and, after another
application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease.-Adv.
