RUMANA TO SET
CLOTHES PRICES

BUCHAREST, Sept. 6.-American
Red Cross officials here learn that
the Roumanian government has plac-
ed an alright embargo on all wool
exports The restriction is aimed at
cloth and clothing profiteers who
have taken advantage of the scarcity
of wool in the country to boost prices
far beyond a reasonable level.
It is the intention of the govern
ment % control the entire wool IN
dustry, fixing the price of raw ma
terials, standardizing the grades of
cloth, and setting rock bottom prices
on oil mems and women's clothing
Merchants and tailors selling wooden
commodities above the goversment
fixed tate will be liable to presecu-
ton.
The scarcity of wool in Roumasia,
which is responsible for the govern
ncn.. drastic action, is the result
of " : conditions. During the enenl,
Occupation of the country the in
dustry was crippled by the requisi-
ton O.. nearly all the sheep in
RoumAnia. Moreover. the inhG'ry
was n yer large. The poorer G.! Is
n Roumania wear, as a rule, h-Cc o.
no woven wool clothing, preferrng
the country districts, to dress In
cured sheepskins prepared at home
The mobilization of the army
created huge demand for wooden
uniforms which took up all the
available raw wool on hand. With
the disappearance of sheep from the
Roumanian pasture lands the pea
SAINTS have been deprived of the
source of their primitive sheepskin
garments and wool clothes. The
government hopes to relieve the
situation by the embargo measure
recently announced.

AN old RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Sage lea I'D Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 10 the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle Of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
20 naturally and evenly. You dam
pen a sponge or soft brush with it
and diaw this through your hair
taking one small strand at time;
by mo; ming the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
SAN PEDRO, Coahuila, Mexico, Sept.
7.-"Ali we want is peace and a
chance to go to work. We're sick
of revolution"
Thar is the sentiment expressed in
every quarters in the section of
northern Mexico known as the
Laguna district, in which the towns,
of Torreon, San Pedro and Gomez
form The principal centers of tctivity.
Judging from the feeling in this part
of Mexico, the surest, guarantee of
future peace in this troubled country
is the TACT that the people are ex-
hauste: from fighting.
1t is interesting to note that this
WEAKNESS of strife is voiced in a
part OF Mexico that was the storm
center Of the revolutionary move
ment IN its early days. The state
of Coahuila was tie home of Fran
cisco Madero, Mexico's ! first rev.
olutionory president who launched the
rebellion thu overthrow Porfirio
Diaz. In the town of San Pedro the
brothers of Madero make their home
today, having returned recently to
their native country after period
of exile in the United State. Venus
tiano Carranza also was citizen of
Ccahuila, and began his revolutionary
career IN this state. Cuatro Cienegas,
north of here, was Carranza's birth
place. Some of the bitterest battles
of the revolution were waged for
NDsses sion of Torreon and San Pedro.
But today the country which was
the home of revolution is crying for
peace.
Mexican revolutions of the past ten
years almot invariably have had their
origin in the north. Madero, Villa,
Carran7a and Obregon ali came from
the north. This northern spirit of
revolution frequently has been ascrib-
ed to proximity to the United border,
resulting in ideas more liberal and
aggressive than those obtaining in
tie southern part of Mexico. What
ever the reason, there may be signifi-
canoe IN the makeup of this little
town Of San Pedro. Everywhere one
encounters persons who speak English
people who have been in the United
States. The Maderos are all gradu-
ates of American universities. There
is the young engineer. too, who tells
YOU in the same conversation of his
irrigation project and his under
