SAGE TEA DANDY
 TO DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe To Bring Bring Back Color and
 Lustre To Hair

You can turn gray, faded hair into beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. Mil lions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair van ishes and your locks become luxur- iantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haised,~ unattractive folks aren't wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Con- pound tonight and you'll be de lighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.

ALASKA ALCOVE IS DESIRED IN
 HALL CORRIDOR
Territory Asked to Cooperate With States in Proposed
 Victory Hall. n

The question of. whether of not Alaska will cooperate in the fix ing up of a Corridor of State ID the proposed Victory Hall which it is planned to eredt in New York will be put up to the Territorial Legisla tme, according to a state naEt made this morning by Gov Thomas Riggs. Victory Hall Association Of New York. has sent number Of communications to Gov Riggs, out- lining its plans for the Corridor of States and asking that Alaska be represented therein with the other States and Territories of the %a ton.
 In a letter received on the Lot mail from the Association by Gov. Riggs, it is stated that the expense entailed in the plan will, under the cooperative scheme, prove to be very small to each State and Terri tory It is planned to assign to each of these an alcove or recess approxi- nlately two feet deep, 10 feet wide and 20 feet high. Tn this, it is sug- gested that a single scsllptured fig, ure or memorial tablet should he placed on which should be recorded the battles in which "the sons o[ the State so nobly upheld the faith of the Fathers and the honor of the Nation Each State, if is stated. will decide what it will place in the alcove. fi.A
 The Governor stated that the ques- tion of the expense involved would necessarily enter largely into the decision of the legislature. The present state of the Territory's fin ances and the current conditions make it necessary for the strict est economy to be practiced by the Territory in it's expenditures in the next few years, he said.

Enright Is Acclaimed at
Police Sergeant's Dinner

The eight annual dinner of the Police
Sergeants' Benevolent Association, held
at the Commodore Hotel last night, was
turned into rousing testimonial af.
fair for Richard E. Enright, head of
the Police Department.
A letter by Mayor John F. Hylan
who lamented his inability to attend
said New York is the safest, cleanest
most orderly city in the United States
adding that the people of this city
have confidence in their Police Depart
ment and so has Hizoner. The Com
missioner himself repeated some of the
Mayors words, and other champions of
the department spent hours eulogizing
it's work.
Edward Riegelman, President of the
Borough Of Brooklyn, said the Commits
sioner had informed him that he would
resign when his beard has reached his
knees. The Commissioners himself add
ed: "I'm not so much scared as
was" and said he would not resign
tomorrow. He even indicated that he
would rather be removed than give up
his Job,

ChestertOn Sees Misuse
OF Lights ON Broadway
He Believes Person Unable to
Read Would Obtain Real
Thrill From Big SIGNS

The lights of Broadway to G. X
Chesterton are eloquent of the enormity
of mans power and the ,pettiness of
the aims to which he puts it. Speaking
on "The Ignorance of the Educated" in
the Brooklyn Academy of Music last
night he said that his first thought on
seeing the restless lights was: "What a
sublime fairyland this would be to any
one who by some good fortune could
not read!"
The peasant has seen candles used
to nobler purposes" said Mr.. Chester
ton. ut is pity that all this superb
machinery is not used to utter a great
religion or express some civic ideal.
We all know that man has this mar
vellous power of creating civilization,
but it is unfortunate that he does not
use his greatest energies toward the
greatest of purposes"
Mr.. Chesterton touched with subtle
raillery on the fallacies of history,
poking fun at the popular misconcep-
tions of the educated.
His plea was for greater simplicity
IN thought and words. As journalist,
he knew that pompous and scientific
terms often were used to indicate scien-
tific knowledge that did not exist. he
said.
"Thc great object of all real educa
tion is to discover the limits of edu-
worship of instruction is too common
among u.s. No man really sees the lim-
it's of culture unless he has reason
able amount of education. We must
get back to the habit of using plain
words"
