Possible as Matter of Sound Policy
in Its Relation to National Defense.

At no time In the course of the last
five years, not even while the great
war was at its height, did the Cen
trail Empires stop the racing of thor
ouShbred horses. The great tracks nj
hamburg, Buda Pest, Vienna and Ber-
lin were the scenes of brilliant gather
ings, even when the Grand Duke Mich
olas was threatening East Prussia
with invasion and Brusilof was on the
edge of the plains of Hungary with his
wild Cossack riders. At no time dur
ing tie course of the great war were
American and English trainers and
jockeys, who had been caught by the
declaration of war IN Germany and
AuStria-Hungary md were unable to
obtain passports, interned. They were
permitted by governments their gov
ernments were seeking to destroy tC
pursue their accustomed callings un-
molested and unrestrained.
To certain extent racing was cur
tailed in Great Britain during the first
two years of the great war. The use
of the famous Epson Downs course
as resting place for convalescing sol
dIers necessitated the running of the
famous British Derby at Newmarket
IN 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918. The
preoccupation OF the sportsmen OF
Great Britain IN the business of wal
caused them, to certain extent, to
neglect the thoroughbred sales of 1919
1916 and 1917, and Americans were
enabled to slip In and buy up lot OF
tirst-class stations and mares with
which to enrich the American thor
oughbred industry.

between the dealer and the manufac- turer was that of vendor and vendee and not that of principal and agent.
 The term agent is used In various senses, but in law 1t has well defined meaning. It is frequently used In con neetion with an arrangement which does not in law amount to an agency, at all, where the essence of the ar rangement is a bailment or a sale. for instance. Such use of the term IS not unusual in cases where one has the exclusive right to sell specified article in certain territory. though no agency in fact exists, said the court. Whether an agency does in fact exist in a given case depends upon the con tract or arrangements under which the business is conducted, and it is entirely immaterial that the parties denominate the arrangement as an agency" If one buys goods of an other to sell on his own account, it is purchase and not an agency, thoug h called so by the parties.
 Therefore, the court held that the travelling salesman was not attempting to speak as a lawyer when he sad that the dealer was the manufacturers agent, and that his explanation showed that he only meant that the dealer had the exclusive right to buy of the man ufacturer and sell for himself this car in the Brattleboro territory. Judgment was, therefore, reversed in favor of the manufacturer.

The dealer having died the action was prosecuted against the manufactures, and Judgment was awarded the car owner. Upon appeal, the supreme court has reversed this judgment.
 The manufacturer had no direct connection with the sale of the auto mobile. and before the customer could recover he was required to show that the dealer was the manufacturers agent, clothed with authority to make the warranty relied upon. To show this relation the customer called the travelling salesman for the manufac- turer who testified that the dealer was the company's general agent in Brat tleboro, Vt. He explained this state ment by saying that the dealer bought a certain number of cars of the manu- facturer on a shipment on a bill of lading with draft attached, paid the draft before the cars were unloaded, and took his cars and sold them. This explanation showed the real relation

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 revelation 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, gray. faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sul- pflur Compound, no one can tell because it does it so naturally. so evenly. You just daInpen 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, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark glossy soft and luxuriant.

MacSwiney, however, is quoted as

I'm his present state of extreme
weakness" the bulletin says, "the

however, that he is perfectly happy.
If there is any attempt to feed him
while he is uncopscious he will re-

for him and his comrades is the out
come of the present strike, they have

HUNT j
SLAYER Of RICH
COLLEGE STUDENT

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S,--Police
of this city had no clew today to
clear away the mystery surrounding
the death of Elmer C. Drewes, Dart
mouth college student, a resident of
this city, who was found dead Sun
day morning on the outskirts of
Philadelphia with a bullet wound in
the head. No weapon Waslfound near
the body.
The police said they intend to
question Charles Schaloss, of New
York, heir to a 100000 estate, and
friend of Drewes, in the hope that he
might be able to give aid in tracing
Drewest movements. Schaloss-is said
to havd seen Drewes at Atlantic City
Saturday.
Robbery, police say, was evidently
not the motive, if Drewes was mur-
and Liberty bonds were in his clothes
when the body was found. Schafoss,
who was visited by Drewes at At
lantic City, Saturday, has gone ITO
his home in New York, 1t was said.
Vim. Belshaw,- head of the "mur-
der squad" of the Philadelphia de-
tective force, believes Drewes' body
was carried to the lot where it was
found after the collegian was slain,
elsewhere This theory, he said, was
borne out by the discovery today of
tracks of a motor car. The imprint
of the tires showed the car had been
driven, north from the city; that 1t
swerved toward the cufbing within
q few feet Of where the body was
found, and then switched to the CEN
ter of the road. No footprints were
found on the lot which is covered
with grass.
Drewes left his home here late sat
urday, telling his parents he intended
to go to Reading, Pa, to purchase a
motor car. From Reading he in
tended to motor to Hanover N. H.
in order to be at college today.
Drewes on his way from Hanover
to spend the weekend with his par
ents, went to Atlantic City to see
Schaloss, who owed him small sum
of money. He spent Friday at At"
lantic City and arrived at his home
Saturday, having collected the debt
