OHIO FATHER HELD
 FOR TRIPLE MURDER
Dying Divorced Wife Says He Shot Her, Her Mother and Man
 Caller

Wilmington, O., Nov. 21. - Oliver Vandervort, aged 32, who says he is a fur dealer of this city, is held under a murder charge here, following a triple murder at Cuba, a village neal here Saturday night
 Those slain were Bertha Whitlow Vandervort, aged 30 his divorced wife and mother of Nandervort's three children; Mrs. Jeff Whitlow, aged 57 mother of Mrs. Nandervort, and How ard Bosier, aged 24, said to have been caller on Mrs. Vandervort.
 Mrs. Whitlow, before dying from her wounds the police say declared that Vandervort committed the mur- ders. The police assert that she told them Nandervort came to her home while intoxicated and started a quar- rel which ended in the shooting of the three.
 Rodney Wallace, a farmer living near the Whitlow home informed the authorities today that Vandervort, while crazed by drink, shot him last night. A post mortem examination will be held tomorrow to determine if the same calibre bullets killed the three persons and injured Wallace
 NanderVort told the authorities that he was not responsible for the triple murder and that he was the victim of circumstances in having been found at the Whitlow home. His statement was that while walking in the road in front of the Whitlow home he heard commotion and saw in the darkness a figure rush from the door, He could not tell whether the figure was that of man or woman. His 1O-year- old son, Oliver, rushed from the house to call for help, saw his father and induced him to enter.
 Asked by the authorities who did the shooting, the boy said: Papa did it."
 The three small Vandervort chil- dren were the only witnesses. When the police arrived Vandervort was sit ting in the house holding his young est child, a baby.
 Oliver, the ten-year- old son, told the authorities that after the shooting he attempted to attract the attention of neighbors by firing a revolver four times into the ground. This weapon with four empty cartridges was found in the house. Another revolver. which had not been fired, was found in Van dervort'S automobile. No trace was found of the pistol with which the murders were committed.
 Mrs. Nandervort was shot when she went to the door to answer Wander vorts knock, according to Divers story. She had her baby in her arms but 1t was unharmed. A bullet pierc- ed her head. Bosier was then shot. the boy said and Mrs. Whitlow when she same downstairs attracted by the shots.
 Nandervort and his wife had been divorced twice. Their second divorce was granted about six weeks ago.

SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sul-
 phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance hun dredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mix ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It Is called Wyeth' s
 Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
 can always be depended upon to bring
 back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been ap-
 piled. You simply dampen a sponge Tor soft brush with it and draw this
 through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after an- other application it becomes beauti-
 fully dark and appears glossy and luStrous.

TROUBLES IN EGYPT.
Negotiations Believed to Have Failed
 to Bring About Understandings

London, Nov. 21.-(By Associated Press) British official cir cles decline to comment upon the ter imitation of negotiations with the Egyptian delegation until Adly Veg hen Pasha, head of the delegation re- ports to the sultan, it was learned authoritatively today that the delega- ton departed for Cairo last Saturday convinced of It's failure and anticipat- ing the return of unrest and internal disorders in Egypt
 The reason for the failure to ob- tain lfgovernment for Egypt is as- cribed by some critics to unwilling ness of the foreign office to carry out the recommendation made last Feb ruary by Lord Miner, former colonial secretary, who urged in a report to parliament that 'the promise of self government cannot be postponed"

Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbrucken Forest and Discovers the
 Philosopher of Coal
{ (Told In Eight Sketches)
 By JOHN RAYMOND
No. HI
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL

In 1771. there lived in the forest near Saarbrucken in Germany. a chemist named Stauf. He was an eccentric old man who had an idea, far ahead of his times. that many things besides coke could he obtained in the combus ton of bit .ninous coal.
 Stauf had constructed a number of ovens over Q burning mine and treated coal so that he obtained oil. pitch, coke and soot. That was quite for ward step and although he lived in the depths Of a forest the great minds of Europe heard of his work In fact, Goethe himself made a pilgrimage to the ovens of the far seeing chemist and in his autobiography wrote a striking comment on his visit to the Saar- brucken forest:
 Ready and glad to pour his com plaints into human ear, the lean, de- crcpit, little man. with shoe on one foot and slipper on the other, and with stockings hanging down and re- peatedly pulled up in vain, dragged himself up the mountain to where the pitch house stood which he had built himself and saw with grief now falling into ruins. Here was found q con- nected row of ovens in which coal was to be freed from sulphur and made fit for use in the iron works; but a the same time they wished also to recover the oil and pitch, and indeed. did not want to lose the lamp black, so that all failed together on account of the many ends in view"
 Goethe, who dubbed the chemist Of Saarbrucken "Kohlenphilosoph," or the Philosopher of Coal, wrote his com mentary less than a century and a half ago. What would be his comment to-

 Germany. and finally in 1877 We find Isaac Meason making coke in the ground" in Fayette County. Penn SylTana.
 That was the crude beginning of one of AmeriCa's key industries. for from these bee hive ovens, wasteful as they were, grew the great modern plants that astonished the world during the war by their production of poison gases, high explosives, fertilizers and other vital neco ssitics. In times of peace these plants produce dyes and great quantities of intermediates for the manufacture of other commodities. In times of war they are easily con vertible into StronChOlds of defense.
 You will remember that it was an English boy who discovered the poss- bility of manufacturing dyes from coal tar but England let the great chance slip through her fingers and as result she found herself in bad way when war broke out in 1914. It was humiliat- ing for the United States to be caught Germany to sell us dyes to color our stamps and currency but England found herself in far more serious situation. She had no dyes for her uniforms or flags, and no drugs for her wounded She could not sell to the former Germany markets because she could not color her textiles. She could not send sufficient high explosives or gases to the front because she lacked the essential coal tar crude.
 But England will not be caught asleep again. She has placed an em- bargo on foreign dyes and is working with all her strength to develop her own chemical industry

day could he enter one of the great .>merican plants where almost un- limited numbers of products are obtained from the distillation or par tial combustion of coal?

Romance has lured this time
group of adventurous men Of Deer

hauled too close to the treacherous
shores when pursued. A syndicate
formed for the search has begun op-
erations where the galleon is supposed
to have sunk in the sands.
This is only one of the many such
adventures off the south Florida coast
which in the oldNdays, before the adj
vent of lighthouses, was the scene Of
many wrecks. Treasure seekers have
brought in a few ancient hulls which
had been deeply buried in sand, some
dating back five or six centuries. :. But
so far no ship thus recovered has
yielded anything except ancient wood.
One prospector is said to have spent
two fortunes near Stuart before quit

Tradition has it that pirate ship es-
