CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF
A BILL BY COMMITTEE SAVES
time To GENERAL ASSEMBLY

already enacted and in the hands of
the judiciary committee to determine
If it is legally drafted. Often times
1t requires weeks for a bill to make
all these rounds. 1t then goes back
to it's original committee for final con-
sideration. If this committee reports
favorably on it the bill is given to the
committee on rules and this rules
committee gives it A. place on tho
calendar for consideration by the en-
tire membership.
This rules committee can hold it as
long as it chooses. 1t can readily be
seen that a bill might be thirty or
forty days getting before the house
for general discussion. In fact this
is the least part of the troubles. Dur
ing the first fifteen days of the scs-
sion each member is so busily engaged
getting his own bills introduced that
no committee meetings arc held. Then
comes the period of printing, consid-
cring and placing before the rules
committee.
Its a dry nerve racking period TO
the new members. They don't feel
that any thing is being accomplished.
The facts are II the committees are
really and truly worth while much
moro is being accomplished than if
the bills were thrown promiscuously
on the general calendar. There will
yet be several days of apparent in
activity of tho assembly. The man
ncr IN which the bills are reported
out of the committees: That is il they
have been carefully considered-will
determine how the work has been
done

SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
It's Grnndmother's recipe to bring back
color, yOuthfulness md lustre-
Everybody is using 1t again.

Gray hair however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of a youthful appearance
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked. Just "a few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young, Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth's S
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
is merely the od-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients.
Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides,
no one can possibly tell, as it darkens
SO naturally and evenly. You moisten
a sponge or soft brush with it, draw
ing this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes thick,
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.

NEW JAPANESE POLICY
LOOMS ABOVE ALL
OTHER QUESTIONS

Washington, D. c., Jan. 26-Develop-
ments in the Japanese situation We'd
nesday following the attention given
that subject by members of the senate
foreign relations committee yesterday
in questioning Under Secretary of
Davis, on the cable situation, were
pointed to Wednesday night, as indi-
eating that the re-defining of policy
| between the two countries would for
time at least, overshadow in import
ance all other questions.
A note from Japan lato Wednesday,
promising a thorough investigation"
of the killing of Lieutenant w II.
| Langdon, an American naval officer
| by Japanese sentry at Vladivostok,
was interpreted in connection with
| earlier expressions of regret by Japan
ese officials as meaning that the in
cident, Notwithstanding it's gravity
will finally be adjusted so as to not
delay solution of other problems be-
tween the two countries.
The note. which was in reply to one
sent two weeks ago by the American
government was said at the state de-
partment, not to meet the points rails
ed by this government, but to consti-
tutc merely an acknowledgment of
the communication from the United
States.
Admiral Gleaves reported to the navy
department today that his inquiry had
developed that LansSon was the vic
tim of an ''unwarranted attack" The
Japanese have not completed their
courtmartial of the sentry. The jap
anese question it is understood, will
be the first to claim the attention of
Secretary Colby when he returns to
the state department tomorrow after
his South American trip but notwith-
standing reports of satisfactory pro-
sress made and the evident desire of
the two countries to approach the
problems in a mutual spirit of good
feeling it was felt tonight final solu
ton must be deferred until the next
administration.
In this connection it was pointed out
that only a few weeks remained un-
der the present administration and it
was also indicated in some quarters
that the progress to be made by the
International communications congress
on its reconvening and the Far East
ern policy to be adopted by Great
Britai in the next few months must
inevitably be taken into account be
fore tho United States can determine
its program in the Pacific along
broad lines in the light OF postwar
conditions.
