EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken 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, improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.

The lineup was as follows:

L. G.-Cobley-
The second game the Frosh won
easily from the high school quintet by
a score of 26 to IA. This game was
a much faster and cleaner game than
the first one The same lineup was
used with the exception of Troutman
in place of Woodrow.
The last game with the Winchester
town team at Winchester, the Frosh
taking the measure of the lumber
jacks to the tune of 81 to 9. Superior
defense by the Frosh kept the Oppon-
ents score low. The game was rough,
and poor ball was an outstanding fea-
ture of both teams. The lineup was
the same as that of the first game.

BARNES GIVEN THIRTY
DAYS IN COUNTY JAIL

Thirty days in the county Jail and
to pay 500 of the COSTS Of the trial
amounting to 1929, was the sentence
imposed by Judge Edgar c. Steele, of
the district court, upon Albert Bar
mes, convicted of simple assault by a
jury in the district court early We'd
nesday morning. This is about the
lightest punishment that could be i'm
posed under the law, the court, no
doubt being influenced by the fact
that the jury brought in the verdict
for the lightest offense under the
statute, after celebrating many
hours as to whether Barnes should be
found guilty of this Iightest offense
or acquitted Barnes was charged
with assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to commit murder, con-
viction of which would have meant a
long term in the penitentiary. The
maximum penalty for the offense of
which he was convicted would be
three months in Jail and to pay the
costs AS a well known attorney
said: "The verdict finds the defend
ant guilty of the smallest offense in
the statutes, being less than stealing
chickens or having an ounce of booze
in his possession"

REQUESTS FOR
 GUN PERMITS
 ARE NUMEROUS

The number of applications for re- volver permits has greatly increased within the past month, according to a statement by Superintendent of Po- lice Flanagan today. Only those re- quests that bear careful investigation and show some real necessity for 0 permit issuing, are granted
 The people of the city are alarmed over the reported holdups and inva.rf- ably assign as their reason for want ing permit to carry a gun tho fact that robberies have become numcr- ous. The police are endeavorirs to discourage this belief.
 One request for a gun permit today came from a resident of the city who twelve years ago caused two holdup men in New York to be sent to Sing Sing. They have just been released and the man learned that they were looking up his address.

SAYS BUSINESS ASPECT GROWS
 MORE CHEERFUL

Interviewed by a Times represen- ltive as he emerged from a confer nee with the ten revenue agents sta toned in Bridgeport, John F. Kier- 'an of Chicago. recently appointed avenue agent in charge of the New taven division, which includes Con- ecticut, Rhode Island and Eastern ew York state, expressed himself as I the opinion that business prospects ad taken on a, much more cheerful .5pect in the past few weeks
 MT. Kiernan had taken note of the rice tags in Bridgeport store windows
 is morning, and expressed the opin- that they indicated that merchants re as elsewhere had accepted losses , clear their shelves and having inverted their merchandise into .oney, are now in increasing num- ars in the market for more mer- handise.
 This, he felt, would give a new inn etus to manufacturing, and result in larked reduction in unemployment I the very near future. Talks MT. iernan has had with leaders in the -dustrial world have led him to be- eve that in some lines, instead of ne surplus stocks of manufactured Hods few months ago, shortage already developing.
 The period of depression from hich the country is just emerging, Mr. Kiernan believes will result in a alling off in tax returns of 25 to B per cent, due principally to loss on inventories by commercial concerns nd lack of employment on the part f the wage earner.
 MT. Kiernan stated that the confer Ance this morning was an informal sathering to permit him to become acquainted with the Bridgeport squad zXamination of corporation and indi- vidual tax returns.
