THE clrYs BUSINESS CONES FIRST.

The Democratic Board Of Aldermen has organ
lied itself without regard to the traditional rights
and privileges Of its presiding officer. The Board
lof Estimate in the formation Of committees
ignored Major La Guardia and his Republican as.
sociate, Mr.. Curran. In violation Of all precedent
the Board Of Aldermen has named Committee on
Rules and passed resolution empowering that
body, instead Of the President to name all other
committees.
1t is quite clear that the Democratic majority in
the present city government means to clip the
wings Of the Republican interlopers at every op-
portunity. This means fight IL Major La
Guardia and Mr.. Curran show anything like past
form, and a fight would be most unfortunate
with so many vital matters affecting the tax
payers awaiting decision. 1t was too much to ex-
pect complete harmony in existing circumstances,
but it was hardly to be expected that the Demo
Gratis would twice flout the new members before
the year was one week old.
Taxpayers will have little patience If extreme
partisan tactics carried into such vital issues
fractions and finance The TRANSPORTATION
problem must be settled during the next few
months for all time and city finances must be
regulated to a point where the people will not
again be called upon to face the possibility Of a
$300.OO0,OO0 tax budget. On these matters at
least it is to be hoped that the city officials will
work with an eye to the general good Of all the
people rather than from the viewpoint of gaining
some passing party advantage.
1t might be well for the Democrats to remem-
ber that all was not harmony in the Board Of
Estimate before January /, and that the new
members hold five Of the sixteen votes of the
Board, rather comfortable nucleus if the Demo
cratic members get to uuarrellinr
1t also u well to remind the entire Board, Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike, that they were elected
to take care of the city's business and that that
business must at all times come first

AMERICAN sHPBUILDINc FOR PRIVATE
ACCOUNT

From its Washington headquarters the Cham
Der Of Commerce Of the United States lately sub
mitted to the vote of organizations associated
with it a number of proposed recommendations
relating to the development Of our merchant ma
rine and subsequently laid before Congress the
results Of this referendum. The inquiries cov-
cred wide field and the decisions reached were
strongly in support of the propositions OF the
central chamber. While these vary in interest
and value one Is Of particular moment, as it re-
fers to the wisdom Of continuing the operations
"of the competent American shipbuilding yards
on private account, both In yards and the vessels
they construct The vote In favor Of this was
almost unanimous and in view Of the impending
extension of the worlds commerce and the GER
tainty that our share in the carrying trade will be
greatly increased, the vote seems to represent the
present attitude of the country toward the devel-
opment Of the American merchant marine and its
faith in our chances for success.
In this connection our we'll informed and pro-
gressive contemporary, the Marine Journal, re-
prints this week important circular just issued
by the Atlantic Coast Ship Builders Association,
the conclusions of which are most encouraging.
1t asserts that instead Of falling back or
even Of marking time Shipping Board con-
American shipyards are advancing, building more
Of what they had on their ways month ago and
nearly half million of tons in excess Of what
they had under construction in October Exclu-
sive of government work, a total of S05OOO tons
the equivalent Of 100000 dead weight tons of
seagoing vessels-is in the builders hands, and
Of the 152 ships constructed for private account
only one is to foreign order.
What is equally convincing is that the ship
builders themselves manifest their faith in the
future Of the merchant marine by taking over
the contracts given up by the Shipping Board and
fortified in their belief by the fact that British
yards are SO much tied up with home orders that
this is the only country offering any certainty Of
prompt deliveries. This great national asset is
coupled with the established fact that American
shipways are producing double, some claim
treble, the possible output Of Great Britain, this
speed being attributable to the employment Of
more modern methods and to the greater utiliza-
tion of labor saving devices. Nor has such quicker
production 1essened the quality of the output for
since the armstice the work nearly six hundred
vessels has been supervised by agents of the Brit
ish Lloyds and the ships have without exception
been rated Al in hull and outfit. There are
other advantages that need not be quoted here but
in addition to the rapidity of turnover ''the Amer
can shipbuilding industry is getting so much more
service out Of it's plants that this factor will result
in marked lcssening Of production costs This
will enable the United States to meet England's
prices, which are at present only about ten per
cent lower, because Of cheaper labor"

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, Use SAGE TEA
Here's GrandmOther's Recipe to
Darker and Beautify
Faded Hair.

That beautiful even shade of dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared. and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv. =
