AN EXPEDITION TO THE
GULF COAST COUNTRY

The cabin list of the pleasure
launch John NJ. Parker when it left
the landing at Call Plant Wednesday
morning on a three day trip to the
Gulf and back, included M. L. Prem
tice, Oliver Liddle, F. G. Seward, B,
#. Mitchell, Jim Hiestand, Paul HE
stand, Harry Hebert Fahy Godfrey
and Alton Prentice. Who the officers
were, in the absence of Capt. A. B.
Hall, who was detained from making

guess would venture that M. L.
Prentice was acting master, F. G.
Seward, Steward, Jim Hiestand, pi
lot, Harry Hebert, engineer, and the
rest roustabouts. The expedition had
two detectives; one salt water fish

hoy AND GIRL KILLED
| IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Rodney Simon, age 10, of Crowley,
and Ruth Suffer, age Is, Of Roanoke,
were killed in an auto accident last
Friday night between ten and eleven
o'clock on the rod between Crowley
and Rayne. The fatalities were caused
by the auto in which they were rid
ing turning turtle at a grade crossing
between the two towns. From the ma
ture of the wounds it is believed that
Miss Suffer was instantly killed, al
though Mr.. Simon lived probably 30
minutes after the accident. No one
saw the accident and therefore exact
details were unknown. The couple
were seen in Crowley only a short
while before the overturned car and
the two victims were discovered on
the roadside.
The bodies were taken to the 81,
mon home in Crowley, the remains OF
Miss Suffer being later brought to the
home of her father, Albert Suffer, in
Roanoke, from where the funeral ser.
vices were held at two o'clock Satur
Iday afternoon, following which the re-
mains were laid to rest in Oaklawn
cemetery in Welsh.
I Miss Suffer was a very popular
young lady in the community She
graduated from the Roanoke high
school in 1920, teaching school the

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common GardeniSage and Sulphur
Makes Sheaked, Faded or
Gray Hair Dark and
Youthful at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get
a large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, at very little cost.
Everybody uses this preparation
now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as
it does it so naturally and evenly.
You dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through. your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another applica-
tion or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy
and you look years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requi-
site. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease

Miss Creighton is one Of a large

Miss Creighton's singing and dane

that he offered her a fiattering con-
tract for three years.
She was bit shy yesterday when
a reporter called, admitting that il
was the first time she had been
called on for an interview "all by

says, is automobillng. but where is
there an actress that isn't fond of

M'DOWELL'S CABIN
KEPT FOR ADMIRERS

Mrs. Edward MacDowelI who is
giving lecture-recitals of her hus-
bands compositions, has preserved
the log cabin which MacDoweII
built at Peterborough, y. H, and
in which he wrote ITO a Wild Rose"
ITO a Water Lily" "A Deserted
Farm" Told at Sunset" and many
other works that are now in the
repertoire of every pianist. OF all
the buildings in the MacDoweu COL
ony the cabin is visited with most
emotion by visitors and the artists
who go every year to do creative
work at the spot where Americas
greatest composer wrote his mas
terpieces.
AS Mrs. Mcdowell devoted many
years Of her life to the composer.
so now she is giving the rest of it
to furthering his ideals. Going 10
Europe as young girl to study
with Clara Schumann, Mrs. Mac
Dowell, who was then Miss Marian
Nevins, became instead a pupil of
Edward MacDowell at Darmstadt.
When he returned to the United
States they were married, and Mrs.
MaCDowel gave up her plans for
a concert career in order that moth
ing should interfere with her hus-
bands work in composition. When
he became i'll she took him TO the
woodland home at Peterborough,
and cared for him almost without
assistance until he died there. In
spite of illness she has made of the
colony at Peterborough a place of
pilgrimage, given up to the foster
ing of talent. Il believe it is one
of the most important art move
ments of the country" said John
w. Alexander, who has contributed
picture gallery to the group of
buildings.
