BELIEF IN LUCKY PIECES"
superstitiion That Seems More Gen
eraI Now Than in the Days Be-
fore the Great War.

"That is my luck piece" a veteran
said, as he pulled shapeless little bit
of metal out of his pocket with his
regular small change. "That's bull
let that just grazed my ear and bur-
rowed into a wall right behind me"
"What sort of luck has it brought
you?" He laughed. "Six months in
hospital from another bullet the very
next day. But l married the
nurse, and she's bit Of good luck,
you bet! / got into the habit of car
rying this about; most all the boys
carry pocket piece of some kind for
luck whether they believe in luck or
not" One man always carries a half
dollar in an inside pocket by itself, so
that If his spending pocket happens
to get empty he would not be alto
eether destitute. There Is another who
sews a $40 bill in the fob pocket of
every pair of trousers he buys. In
that way he can never have the bad
luck of forgetting to change his money
when he changes his clothes. True,
he might have the bad luck to forget
to remove 1t when he sent the trous-
ers to be pressed, but-as he phil
osophically expresses it-that would
be good luck for the tailor.

EIGHTH ANNUAL
 AUTO SHOW AT
 ARMORY, FEB. 2

Bridgeport's eighth annual auto <low will be held from February to February inclusive, under the aus pices of the Fourth Infantry, Conn. State Guard, it was announced today by the management. With 10000 more square feet of exhibition room than at the 1919 show, the 1920 dis play promises to outclass anything of the kind held in the state of Connec- ticut, for a decade.
 Over 200 cars and 100 kinds of au- tomobile accessories will be shown in the State Armory and the Jacoby building diagonally across Main street. Owing to the vast number of space applications received, it was found necessary to procure more room than is afforded by the spacious armory. The Jacoby building is 16O feet in depth and 50 feet wide, and gives about tone-ha1f of the space of the armory.
 Space for the assemblage of pass enger cars, motor trucks, tractors and all kinds of automobile equipment, was contracted by dealers and rnanu. facturers weeks ago. The demand has never been equal1ed and the ar. mory and the Jacoby building will be simply crammed with cars, trucks, tractors and their accessories
 Special attention has been paid this year to the lighting and decorative schemes and experts in these lines have given much time to the fea- lures. The lights in the armory and the Jacoby buildings are to be so ar ranged as to show off the beautiful lines and colorings of the 1920 mod els to the greatest advantage.

EASY ID DARKEN
 YOUR CRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and Lustre with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home, is mussy and troublesome. At
 little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
 proved by, the addition of other in-
 gradients called ''Wyeth's Sage and
 Sulphur Compound" You just dampen
 sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair. though no dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire 8 youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and ieek xeaka Raa.azsnr-A6x.
