BY WHAT AUTHORITY

Editor Every Evening: Within the last
few DAYS | have noticed in various news
papers, first, that the State of Rhode
Island had become party litigant in the
Supreme Court OF the United States in the
matter of a certain amendment 10 the
Constitution of the United States having
TO do with the enforcement of the Coneti-
tutional amendment.
Later on ] noticed that number Of
States had joined themselves to this
litigation, md in effect had become liti-
CANT parties aa against the State OF Rhode
Island. These States were represented by
Mr.. Charles T.. Hughes of New York
Among those States who apparently had
voluntarily become litigants was the
name of the State of Delaware.
May | ask YOU, if you have the in
formation, To let me know by what
authority the State of Delaware, in the
absence of legislative action approved by
the governor, can voluntarily become n
litigant party in the Supreme Court of
the United States? Can it bcpossible thnt
some person without any authority. what
soever has presumed to Use the name of
this State in that connection
It is, not, of course, at all probable that
Governor Townsend without due author
ity would have done this, and | am sure
the attorney-general is too good lawyer
10 have done it, and therefore, | think
that other citizens of the State, as well as
myself, would be glad to know on what
authority the name of this State has been
injected into this proceeding. For l am
quite sure no legislative authority has
ever been given. =
Moreover, it seems to me il would be a
violation of proper ethics and of good
taste for the State of Delaware to inject
itself IN an adverse manner into a pro-
ceeding where sister sovereign State of
the Union was endeavoring to SECURE the
Interpretation of its rights by the Supreme
Court of the country.

EVENING SMILE.
EXPENSIVE AMBITION.

Oliver Herford sat next to soulful
Doetess at dinner one night, and that
dreamy one turned her sad eyes upon
him. Have you no other ambition,
Mr.. Herford," she demanded; than to
force people to degrade themselves by
laughter?"
Yes. Herford had an ambition. A
whale OF an ambition. Some day he
hoped to crafty it.
The woman rested her elbows on
the table and propped her face in her
long, sad hands and glowed into Mr..
Herford's eyes. ooh, Mr.. Herford, +" she
said. ''Oliveri Tell me about it. .
II want to throw an egg into an cleo
trio fan, said Herford Post.

''Do you believe that ignorance is
bliss?" asked the Old Fogy, as he looked
up from the magazine he was reading.

he knows what to d with, replied the

No doubt many citizens have given
thought TO the inquiry voiced by Mr.
William +. Snalley in a communication
printed elsewhere in this issue, as to the
authority under wh ch Governor Town
send Joined Delaware with number Of
other States in resisting Rhode Island s
challenge OF the Prohibition Amendment
and the yolstead Enforcement Act before
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Certainly. the Constitution does not con-
fer such power upon him, and no legisla-
tive authority has been extended to him
to this end. The transaction, therefore, is
puzzling and myssifying TO many good
citizens.

Dandruf Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty OF thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three OF
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all-itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid ar
Won at any drug store. 1t is inexpen-
sive and four ounces is all you will
need. no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss and
AttractiveneSS

Almost everyone knows that SAGE
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home. which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe. i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay grayi Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so natur~ lily
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
thru yoIr hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another sp-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

Guernseys, IS. This makes a total of
SIS head of cattle, representing forty
seven breeders from seven states of
the middle west. Since the figures
were compiled by Professor Paterson,
many more entries have been received,
making it necessary to erect tents.
Finest Cattle Show.
This will be the finest and best
balanced cattle show we ever had"
said Professor Paterson. There is a
wonderful increase in the dairy cattle
entries. The finest herds exhibiting
are coming to the Free Fair"
It was thought that last year would
be the high water mark in the agri
cultural building. but the entries so
far this year are the heaviest in his
tory The hall will be crowded and
many exhibits will have to be moved
outside. There will be at least ten
collective county farm exhibits. While
the effort to induce counties to enter
collective exhibits did not meet with
100 per cent success this season. the
results were encouraging considering
tempt has been made. Tt is believed
the idea will grow in popularity with
each succeeding year.
New X. Q. Head to Speak.
Every available foot of space on
exhibitors and the management has
laid out open spaces wherever they
could be found. Seven or eight addi-
tionaA plats were laid out and filled
before the ink was dry on the paper.
1t is no longer a question of assigning
exhibitors to certain lots-the prob
lem is to get them a place in the fair
grounds at all.
A very elaborate series of programs,
including several interesting and edu-
cational addresses by prominent men
and women, have been arranged for
the Peoples pavilion during the week.
