DEALERS MUST PAY GAS. TAX
Attorney General Utley Refutes State
 ment Ascribed to Oil ompany.

Little Rock, May 8-To offset the efforts of a national oil company which it is said has been advising dealers throughout Arkansas that they will not be required to pay the one-cent gasoline tax authorized by act of the last legislature, Attorney General Ut- ley yesterday issued statement in which he declares that no exceptions have been made.
 Dealers, according to the attorney general, have reported that they have been advised that arrangements have been made under which they will not be required to collect or report the tax.
 In denial of this affirmation MT. Utley yesterday issued the following statement.
 Frequent inquiries are made at the office of the attorney general as to whether the retailer is required to account for the tax Of one-cent per gallon on all gasoline used in propel- ing vehicles over the highways of this state. All of these inquiries say that one oil company is advising the county officers all over the state that it is not necessary to pay this tax. The statement is also being made to dealers that an arrangement has been made with the attorney generals of flee by which dealers are received | from the payment of this tax For the benefit of dealers and county of ficerS l make this statement No such arrangement has been made by any oil company with this office and the attention of dealers and officers is respectfully called to the provisions of Section and of Act COG of 1921. So far as 1 have been able to learn all oil companies except one, and all dealers who have not been misinform- ed by this one concern, are making an honest effort to follow the law. l take this occasion to express the ap- preciation of this office for this honest endeavor and 1 am sure that I also express the sentiment of every prosecuting attorney and circuit judge l in the state"

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA 10 DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to Restore Color, Gloss,
 Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a. heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Just a few applications will prove a revela- ton if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- blesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gradients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your. hair, taking one small strand at time, by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation Is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of dis ease.

Charges C. o. P, With
 Switching Their Policies

Washington, May 7-The decision of the administration to accept the in yitation of the allies got into Senate discussion today when Senator Harrf- son, Democrat of Mississippi, declared that in sending the invitation the al- lies were merely rubbing it in'' on the American government for dasert- ing them" The senator also charged that in accepting the invitation the administration had switched on it's foreign policy again.
 We find the leaders switching all the way" he said We see this Sen ate offering practical insult to the allies by adopting a resolution for a separate peace with Germany. Then we find the administration rendering it's offices as a sort of compromise. And after that there comes the offer of seat in the allied councils. That was merely rubbing it in.
 Next we find the president nam ing as the man to represent him in those councils a man who has insulted practically every one of the allied na- tions. He's not in position properly to represent ,this government. But that's the man who is to do it"
 Senator New, Republican of Indiana, interrupted to read a London news dispatch quoting Bainbridge Colby, former secretary of state, as having complimented Ambassador Harvey as an accomplished and cultivated gen. tleman." MT. New said that infor- nation ought to relieve the distress of the senator from Mississippi"
 Isn't that about all he could say?' inquired Senator Harrison, "and is not that a doubtful compliment?"
 Senator Stanley, Democrat of Ken lucky inquired whether it could not be said of Aaron Burr that he was accomplished and cultivated" add ing: eff you excuse treason, perfidy and few other things, Burr was worthy of the compliment"
 Senator Harrison thanked the Ken lucky senator for "visualizing the cor rect situation.
