TONIGHT'S GAMES
M Mount Carmel VS. 8. J.. II. A.; Dobson vs..
The second half of the American
. League Basketball season will close this
eVening-perhaps. That is, If the Han
cock five defeats Dobson and maintains
perfect slate for the series. In event
the team from the Falls turns the tables
on Mitch Hopkins and his near cham
plons, then it will be necessary for the
Girard avenue five to meet Xavier in a
game to decide the second naif.
Dobson has won the first half pCnnant
already, and Hancock has not lost sin
gle clash, while the only defeat chalked
up against the Xavier delegation was in
the game played with Hancock last week.
In case 1t is necessary for Hancock and
Aavier to play for the second half pen
nant,, the contest will be staged mex
tuesday night, and. on the other hand.
~ Hancock is successful they will start
the series with Dobson for the seasons
ritle on Tuesday and play the second OF
thursday. The third, il necessary, viii
be staged ut date to be determined
later.

Germantown at one time was lead

then Powell tied the figures. but Ref

There was an ominous whirring of some

"Mme Tetrazzini would not come to re-

That is the reason why Nine. Schumann

Nine. Tetrazzini.

SAGE TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
ou~t-of-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients. which can be depended up-
on to restore natural color and beauty
TO the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair 80 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell Il has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two. II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
