CHINA SEES
GOOD FUTURE
New Spirit in Country Since
Great War.

BOSTON. Mass. March 4.-"The com
merciaI currents of the world are sweep
ing China since the war" said James
Fl. Lewis of New York speaking at the
College Of Secretarial Science Of Boston
university in the interests OF the pro-
posed establishment Of chair Of bust
peSs administration in the University OF
Nenking, China.
During the last year dfty American
companies were incorporated In Shanghai
alone, which are to handle interua tional
business. France and England are de
velOplng the trade again that was left
mainly in the hands Of Japan during the
war. All nations are centering their am
bitiOns on the heart OF China-Nanklng.
"As the result of the 10000 Chinese
coolies who went to France to help In the
fight for democracy, a new intellectual
spirit is abroad in China. America,
through the Peking university, which
was built from the indemnity fund which
was returned to China after the Boxer
rebellion, awakened this spirit Now the
contact of China with the rest of the
world during the war intensified the de
sire for intellectual progress
Two thousand Chinese students are In
France today as a direct result of the
war, and inside OF three years, 10000
Chinese yearly will be sent to France to
study. America must have a hand in
this awakening"

WANTS PAY FOR
WASTED POWER
~Muncie Company Asks Higher
Rate on Excess DynamOs.

Changes beneficial to the public will
result from a new basis of charge for
electric power, sought in the petition of
the Indiana General Service Company
Of Muncie for new rate schedule II
the petition is favorably considered by
the Indiana public service commission
experts said yesterday.
The proposed change would affect man
dynamo equipment greater than is neces-
sary for the operation Of their plants.
Loss OF power through "wattless energy
would be charged against the consum-
ers responsible for such losses, through
the use Of a newly invented meter, which
records energy wasted as we'll as energy
used
Under the system Of meter toll in use
al present consumers are charged only
for electricity actually used. Many manu-
facturers use transforming plants Of
greater capacity than is needed In order
that they may be prepared for expansion
of their needs That practice results in
much voltage being dlssipated by not
being transformed into watts.
The cost of such losses Of power is
eventually charged against all consumers.
since rates are based on the total cost Of
operation of the power producing plant
The Indiana General Service Company
is the first company in the state to seek
such 4 schedule Of rates. but it is ex-
pected other companies will take such
action later.

TOups ard Wigs
NeUest Rage Here;
Blame 1t on Flu

Wigs and toupees are "all the 60
in Indianapolis
So if the pretty brunette across the
way fits in some morning sporting
mantle of red hair don't be surprised.
Then, too, if our bald headed
milkman should suddenly break forth
with his cranial region snugly COW
cred with a lair of sllken foliage don't
be surprised, either.
Yes, it's true, there has been an in
crease Of from 40 to 100 per cent in the
demand for wigs and toupees.
The popularity Of artificial hair may
he due to style. but on the other hand
some of our beauty shops claim in
f1uenza has caused much badness.
At Kinzly's hair store it is reported
there mad been tremendous in
crease in the number of wigs and
toupees sold. Women particularly are
taking to wigs, this store reports.
Blame it on the "f1u," one clerk said.
Della Z. Carroll of Carroll's Beauty
Parlor. says: Maybe they don't want
to grow old"
"Fever attendant to influenza has
caused many men and women to lose
their hair Miss Carroll said. "Of
course most of the present demand is
due to those who suffered from the
malady a year ago. Not all cases of
the disease caused hair to fall out. but
a good average of those stricken have
had that embarrassing experience"
Miss Carroll claims that any severe
fever is apt 10 permanently injure the
hair. Nervousness and poor blood
circulation is another contributing
element, she asserts.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful. even shade Of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture Of Sage Tea and sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and sulphur enhances It's
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents at a small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be depend
ed upon to bring back the natural color
and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses ''Wyeth's" Sage and
sulphur Compound now because 1t dark
ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied You SIM
ply dampen a sponge or soft brush with
1t and draw this through the hair, TAX
ing one small strand at q time; by
morning the gray hair has disappeared,
and after another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy and

SMALL BOOST
SEEN FOR ICE
WyckOff Says Costs Shouldn't
Increase Price Materially.

IF there is any increase in the price
Of ice during the coming summer in
indianapolis. it probably will not be
more than 21a cents per hundred pounds
wholesale, or cents a hundred pounds
retai.'' said Stanley Wyckoff, fair price
commissioner, yesterday.
Ice men, Mr.. WyckoG said. had asked
him a fair price commissioner to con
slider data submitted by them on in
creases in the cost Of ammonia, coal,
labor and some other items.
Mr. Wyekoff has recommended that the
ice companies of the city follow the zon-
ing system which was planned by him
and followed last year, by which the ter
ritory of the city is divided between the
ice companies.
Better service than last year for out
lying districts. such as the territory be
tween Thirty eighth street and Broad
Ripple and north of IrvingtOn, must be
given If the zoniug system is followed,
the fair price commissioner added.
Figures I have from other cities show
that the price Of ice in Indianapolis is
much lower than in most cities Of this
size" said Mr.. Wyckoff.
There has been an increase in the cost
Of ammonia, coal and in the labor cost
OF mecha engineers and others. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Wyckof, He has not I'm
ished his probe Of the increase. but his
Examination thus far has convinced him
that a large increase In the price Of ice
will not be necessary to cover the cost, be
said. The coming system, he declared
was real saving for consumers.
