Hardly a great name that adorns

PRODUCTION OR STARVATION AHEAD

President Elliot of Harvard commenting on the
failure of the Wilson Industrial Commission because
nobody knew then whether the world would be sup
piled with the necessities seven eight hour day
now proposes a national commission to find out
just how many hours day are required to feed,
c1othe and warm the world. This demand Of an
academic mind and great educator for another gov
ernment investigation is squarely knocked in the
head and exposed by c. w. Barron in the Boston
News Bureau. This practical business man shows
the falacy of academic theories in dealing with fund
amental problems of production now staring the
world in the face. Read the vital statements from
Mr.. Barron's article printed below:
"The public, the community, the government has
no more right to require production by hours of lab
or from any man according to the countrys needs
than it has to require such work of all men, 1t has
the right to require such work of all men in time of
national peril.
- ITO raise the dairy products of the country re-
quires unpaid family farm labor, men women and
children all at work in hayng time, most of them able
to milk in an emergency or to help in cheese making
or egg hunting and chicken raising. The family
works for its sustenance and for surplus if it has
ambition.
"But commission to find out the hours work re-
quired in farm household would be just as useless
as commission to find out the number Of hours work
needed for miners to produce coal or carpenters to
produce houses.
"Production cannot be according to such find
ing because labor cannot be commandeered. The
whole problem is settled by economic laws when once
there is human freedom.
"There is no freedom in coal mining There is
no freedom in housbuildng, for either structural
steel workers or carpenters. And there is no
freedom in the field of railroad workers. It is not
wholly a trades union problem. If there were lack
OF employment in this country, idle people would
quickly build houses carnenters union or no carpen
ters' union. They would quickly mine coal without
regard to any miners restrictions

of human freedom the endeavor by united inaction

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

When you darkea 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, inn proved by the addition of other in gredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray haiY disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and 1uxuriant-
 Gray, faded hair, though dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.-Adv.

Definite and comprehensive plans
for general improvement of the D..

to place the system in proper shape
to insure Detroit and environs an
adequate supply of coal all the year
round. However he has much broad
er views for the future development
of the entire territory through which
the road passes.
The road it is stated, vii be used
to full capacity at a times, the
number and speed of trains being
the best obtainlble with service and
safety.
Mr.. Ford, by personal inspection
has noted all bridges, grades, switch
ing facilities and virtually every
thing of Importance connected with
the road. Going forth with replil
gangs he has examined every unit
of the roads motive power, made
devisions above new rails, new shops

and the coal fields, but is crossed
by some 25 other railroads unitins
