Hard Chnstmases
for G.Washinqton

"a q ONE has told US much about
NJ George Washington's Christ

of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
1t was a very cold Christmastide In
1777 At Valley Forge. Snow was on
Washingtons army was In great need
Of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions Of parties OF men to 70
foraging for food are entered In the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown. in 1873,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation. I'VE have never e1pe-
rienced like extremity at any period
of the war;" declared Washington,
pleading that food be sent.
There was a welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
at New Windsor In 1850 when a big
Christmas wagon came with over 1000
shirts and other comforts made by
Philadelphia women patriots-things
needed by the men under Washington.

A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head Of his 2,4O0
brave men making his celebrated
crossing of the Delaware river, nine
miles above Trenton. The snow and
sleet were binding. it is recorded, and
the cold was intense. But hearts
were brave.

Washington was cheered with the
thought that the cause of the struE.

There has been more talk and more

This rejected work is a portrait OF

COMB SAGE TEA
into GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores It's
Natural Color and Lustre at once.

Common garden sage brewed into
n heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked ana
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, Is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredlehtS
a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of musS.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and unattractiveness.
BY darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural
", so eveninly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.

WHAT CAUSES GAS
ON THE STOMACH?

It is caused by fermenting. sour
waste matter in the intestines. This
old, foul matter should be thoroughly
cleaned out with simple buckthorn

EXCELLENT for sour stomach and

Harding Urged
To Rebuke Men
Blocking g Policy
Advisers Advocate That He
Hold 'SWillful Band'' in
Congress Up to Public
for Just What They Are
Disguised With House
Leaders Blamed for Delay
ON Dye Embargo and
Railroad Relief Measures
By Carter ield

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-President
Harding is finding his "willful men" in
Congress just as Woodrow Wilson did.
The President so far has not emitted
any blast pillorying the men before the
country, but some of his closest ad-
visers are urging this course as the only
one which can break the present jam.
"The men standing in the way of the
dye embargo and of the passage of this
railroad bill ought to be plastered. -
said an indignant Cabinet member to
The Tribune correspondent just after
to-days Cabinet meeting "They ought
to be held up before the country for
just what they are"
1T is these two measures at the pres
ent moment which are giving the Pres
ldent his chief concern, so far as op-
position to his wishes in Congress is
concerned; All sorts of petty politics
and selfish interests, as the Presidents
advisers see it, are being permitted
to run to extremes on Capitol Hill, so
far s this small band of men is con
cerned, and the suppo osedly big leaders
on Capitol Hill are either letting the
small fellows get away with it or they
are secretly abetting them.
Disguised With House Leaders
The President is known to be dis
gusted particularly with the action of
the mouse leaders in response to his
lnslstence that the dye EMBARGO should
be continued for the protection of the
American manufacturers-eve one a
potential maker of gas and explosives
l" the event of war
Here is the real truth about what
happened on that as between the House
and Senate. The logical way to get
the embargo continued was to continue
the emergency tariff bill for certain
period of time
This was a logical method because
every one IN Congress and in the Ad-
ministration knows that certain Sena-
tors who are bitterly opposed to the
dye embargo would talk it to death
as separate measure. Of this group,
however, there are many from agri-
cultural states. Such members of the
band as La Toilette, Norris, and prob
ably even Smoot, would scarcely dare
to vote against the extension of the
whole emergency tariff bill. They
might hate to see the dye embargo
continued, but they would not be able
to strike it out by a vote. as a ma
ority Of the Senate is willing to Weld
to President Harding and the War and
Navy departments. now that the dye
embargo is being advocated by the Ad
ministration as an important measure
of national defense This is especial
ly true in view of the fact that every
other nation which will attend the
armament limitation congress has put
an embargo against German dyes in
order to build up its own gas, explo-
sive and drug potentialitics.
So that if the House had sent the
emergency tariff bill over to the Sen

Counsel Defies
Bynum m'sOrder
Nicoll Refuses to Demand
Vacating of Injunction
Whereby Company Got
Back the Seized Vessels
To Guard Stockholders
Lawyer Says Company Is
Confronted With Serious
Financial Difficulties

Delaney Nicoll. of counsel for the
United States Mail Steamship Com
pany. yesterday refused to comply with
written demand from Francis Mayer,
president of the corporation, that he
take immediate steps to have injunc-
tion proceedings whereby the company
recovered nine ships seized by the
United States Shipping Board va
Gated
Mr.. Nicolls rejection of the demand
was made in an informal conference
before Federal Judge Martin 7. Man
ton. Mr.. Nicoll's refusal was explained
by him as due to the fact that he rep
resented as counsel not only the officers
of the company, but its stockholders as
we'll, and he was determined to protect
the latter Mr.. Nicoll said the United
States Mail line was facing serious
financial difficulties.
Informal Proceeding Held
The matter was brought before Judge
Manton in chambers. 1t was declared
to be an entirely informal proceeding,
to be regarded in the light Of a con-
ference attended by attorneys repre-
resenting the company and the United
States Shipping Board.
The arguments indicated much un-
certainty as to who actually controls
the United States Mail Company.
Statements that Malcolm Chase and
Alexander Smith associated with Bos-
ton and Chicago financial interests had
obtained control were denounced by
William Marshall Bullitt, as counsel
for the shipping board, who declared
them unfair and unjust
The hearing was marked by heated
clashes between Delaney Nicoll and
Delaney Nicoll jr. on one side and
Mr.. Bullitt on the other. Ira Camp
Avercil Hartman, was also in Judge
Mantons chambers. He sided with Mr..
Bullitt in the several arguments that
occurred.
1t came out after the hearing that
the board Of directors of the United
States Mail Steamship Company, which
was elected August TO- resigned yestcr-
day after having rescinded the rcso-
luton adopted August II authorizing
return of the company's ships to the
United States Shipping Board, and thai
imme edately after the former board and
officers were reelected. BY this action

He said with regard to the proceedings
that Malcolm Chase director of the

and Alexander Smith, president of Pea
body, Houghteling e. Co., bankers, had
made an agreement with the Shipping
Board to sell out the United States Mail
| Company in order to protect another
Mayer concern in which they were in
terestcd. Mr. Ncoll said:
"Malcolm Chacc is connected with
the Old Colony Trust Company and
Mr.. Smith with Peabody, Houghtelng

an issue of bonds for the Swiftsurc Oil

ers own or did own 10 per cent Of the
