His discourse was a keen and
searching analysis Of the binding
forces in any age or any movement
the theorist, the destructive critic
and the sentimentalist.
He denounced with true Scotch
fervor the person who is keener to
fling faultfnding broadcast than to
DIG for facts. He made clear the
difference between the constructive
critic who stands by ready to lend
a hand to better conditions under
criticism, and the cheap critic-the
chatterer who goes forth sowing

his hearers in a morass OF be-
wilderment.

COLONEL HURT
IN HORSE LEAP
Former Meade Command
ant Thrown by Steed, Suf-
fers Brain Conclusion.

While putting his horse over the
jumps in Rock Creek Park yester-
day, Col. Charles G. Mortimer was
thrown. He was taken to Walter
Reed Hospital suffering from con-
cussion of the brain and minor in
ternal injuries received when the
animal rolled on him. He was in
a serious condition last night.
Col. Mortimer, accompanied by
Col. T. Q. Donaldson and a party,
stopped at the jumps in the party to
try out their horses. Riding up
close to the bars, Col. Mortimer pre-
pared to take a stationary jump,
but the animal became confused,
and, instead of going straight over
the obstacle, turned sidewise and
attempted a "slicing" leap. The
top bar caught his hoof, dismount-
ing the soldier, who a moment later
was pinned under the fallen horse.
Col. Mortimer had just returned
from overseas. He lives in the CAL
verton Apartments, Columbia and
Quarry roads northwest.

Wheeler Admits Reforms
Necessary But Thinks
That Only Natural.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti-Saloon League, de-
clared yesterday the enforcement
OF national prohibition is not a
failure" and that the administra-
tion of the law is passing through
the same experience that State and
local prohibition laws were sub
jected to in many places"
"Of course, the law is not well
enforced in some places" Wheeler
added, because some public off,
cials are derelict in duty and others
are corrupt. 1t takes time to create
conditions that will give US the full
fruits of a prohibition victory.
I'VE have several problems to
face at once. Wholesalers permits
were never contemplated in the
prohibition code. Thousands of
others should be denied a renewal
of their permits which expire De-
ccmber 81. The concentration of
bonded liquors in few ware
houses should be adopted Posi-
bly, two or three places would suf-
fee.
The disposition of the bonded
warehouse liquors is a more diff
cult problem. / find most people
think it should be taken over by
the government, disposed of for
use and the proceeds

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur Bring Back Its
Vigor, Color, Gloss and
Youthfulness.

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 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 attrac-
tiveness. By darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
1t does it SO naturally, SO evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t 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 be-
comes beautifully dask, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or preyen-
ton OF disease,-Adv,
