TWISTED IS INVADED
 BY COUNTY GIRLS
Banquet of the Older GirlF Conference on Friday
 Evening

The older girls conference, which
 began its proceeding Friday afternoon
 at 4 o'clock at the Methodist church,
 was preceded by the arrival through the day, from all the surrounding towns in Litchfeld county, of scores
 of the young, smiling delegates, in tent on the work before them.
 As soon as the detail of registra- tion had been attended to, the meet ing was opened by a service of wor- ship led by Mrs. Samuel Johnson of Winsted, which was followed by or ganization and the election of the following officers: President, Miss Doris Trotter of Winsted; vice president, Miss Ethel Mallory of New Milford; secretary, Miss Isabel Col lar of Norfolk. After the election the opening address on "0ur Best in This Conference" was given by Mrs. Cora Downs Stevens of Canaan. Then at 6 :45 came the banquet in the church parlors. It is probable that those prettily fixed up rooms never witnessed a similar gathering. Think of iti Fifteen or more tables, 10 young girls in their teens seated at each! The few men, unnecessar- fly present as speakers or Sunday school officials, looked on helplessly and in wonder. ....
 Rev. c. S. Gray of the Methodist church asked the blessing and then the proceedings were placed in the hands of Miss Helen Wilcox of Win uAa aI xrsx Nna r4w af@Aw who kept things moving all the even ing in series of humorous intro ductions, stories and sallies.
 John Lund,. superintendent of schools, was the first of three em- barrassed (seasoned public speakers though they all were) young men called upon to face the music and say something. He welcomed the conference on behalf of the city, confessing that it was the first time be had ever attended an older girls conference. Things went along fast. Miss Charlotte Middlebrooks well comed the visitors on behalf of the girls and Mrs. l. K. Manchester on behalf of the churches. In. response Miss Elizabeth Thompson of Water town spoke. After these came the toasts, Mohawk camp" was res bonded to by Miss Helen Green of New Milford. Those two other young men, Rev Fred D. Cartright of Albany, N. Y, and Rev. Frank B. Haggard of Hartford, under the same handicap as their predecessor, MT. Lund, responded to Greetings from New York State" and "A Secret That May Be Told"
 Now all this seems very simple to relate, but the spirit of the occasion, evades the pencil
 While this speaking, all of it in spring and interesting, was going on medley of other things kept con- happening. Ir the first place a fine dinner was being served and eaten. Grape fruit, salads. cold meats, delicious scalloped potatoes, bread sticks, ice cream and coffee made up the menu. Everything was in profusion. And at each of the tables mentioned q group of rerry- making bright girls, usually from the same town, was wing with the other groups in singing and calls in which the merits of their respective towns were vigorously set forth i1 good natured rivalry. Every little while,

lpEN SHOP FIGHT GETS TO BOARD
rnions Present Charges Against Rail Officials = T. De Witt Cuvler, Representing Execu- lives. is Chilled by Walsh.

l Chicago, March 1S.-Union labor ...ders delved into the records of the
 ssociation of Railway Executives 0dav before the Railroad Labor
 bo,rd in an endeavor to show that
 ho railroads fight against national Ioreements was not unanimous, but
 yas dominated by few officials. An underlying purpose to establish
 bo open shop and crush labor or .anizations was declared to be behind Iho fight of the association against kational boards of adjustment, The |ontroversy over these boards in the kssociation's labor committee was krought out by cross-examination of \ Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the kssociation, and his assistant, Robert \ Binkerd, and the introduction of |nyoluminous correspondence and re- borts of the committee into the labor
 
 board record.
 Today's proceedings marked the beginning of labor.s main fight for kontinuance of the national rules and korking agreements now in effect, he iustness and reasonableness of which the board IS now trying to de- kide in hearings which began Jan. 10. A basic programme of II points on which labor would be willing to ne- Evtiate rational agreements was laid lefore the board by B. M. Jewell, president of the railway employees Apartment of the American Fedora hcn of Labor, when the hearing opened today. Frank P. Walsh, coun- Eel for the unions, immediately fol lowed with an exhaustive cross ex- animation of MT. Binkerd and MT. Cuyler.
 The fundamentals which are the basis of the national agreement are as follows, Mir. Jewell said:
 "The eight hour day; proper over tlme rates for work in excess of eight tours; arrangement of working shifts Tor reasonable living arrangements by employees and their families; req sonable rules for the protection of health and safety of employees; defi- nition of the work of each craft to be performed by mechanics and helpers; formulation of apprenticeship rules; lour years apprenticeship require nents for mechanics; right of major ty of each craft to determine what 'rganization shall represent them; nght to select committee to handle grievances, limiting of craft senior

CROWD BRANDS
 PROPAGANDA
General Pershing at Mass Meet ing, Voices Americanism- Thousands Unable to Gain Entrance to Meeting.

New York, March 18.-Gen. John J. Pershing, speaking before a crowd which packed Madison Square Garden tonight at one of the greatest pat riotic demonstrations here since the signing of the armistice, bitterly de- nounced persons of foreign birth who seek the freedom of this country to spread political and warlike propa- ganda" to weaken the ties of friend ship between the United States and her allies in the late war. The meet ing was held under the auspices of the American Legion and other pat riotic societies as protest against the recent mass meeting arranged to voice objection to the presence of French colonial troops in occupied Germany, described as "The Horror on the Rhine"
 [ Fifteen minutes before the meeting was called to order by Col. Frank CdlDIdlII, HdllOHdl COlllIIIduueI Ol tlic American Legion, the fire department officials ordered the doors of the gar den closed to bar further admissions. More than 14,000 persons were then packed into the historic structure, while thousands of others were swarming around the building in a frantic endeavor to enter.
 Gen. Pershing, paying tribute to fcreign-born citizens who served under him in the Philippines, Mexico and France, declared it was entirely proper that foreigners should cling to the folk lore, literature and music of the native land, but he assailed those who seek to dictate American ques- tions and military policies by the standards of those countries.

 Duesseldorf, March 1S.-Tha occu- patton area has been extended from Duisberg to stations all along the railroad running from Duisberg to Essen. The central freight yard at Wedau, the largest in the Ruhr dis trict, and Mulheim Station are guard ed by French troops. Duesseldorf is quiet.
 Washington, March 1S.-Allied oc- cupation of additional German terri tory is understood to have presented to President Harding a new problem arising from relation of these changed conditions to previous plans for early declaration by Congress of the ending of the state of war be- tween the United States and Ger many.
 Some congressional leaders who all along have been for a peace resolu- tion still think that solution should be applied as soon as possible. Other leaders, however, who are known to be very close to the president, fear that it would cause embarrassment to the nations with which the United States was associated in the war and should be deferred until the situation in Germany which caused the occu- f patton has clarified itself.
 President Harding is represented as having approached his study of 1 the question with the view that the United States should exercise caution in whatever steps it determines to take in order that there should be no complications of the already difficult situation faced by the allies.
 In line with this viewpoint atten- tion has been called that American troops are in Germany as a war mea- sure and not under any treaty pro- visions Termination of the war, it is argued, would automatically re- quire withdrawal, and the present ad- ministration, through Sec. Weeks of the War Department, had stated that this is not under contemplation. l It has been contended both abroad and by those in Washington opposed to early action terminating the state of war that withdrawal of the troops at this time would lend encourage ment to Germany in resisting de- mands of the allies as to separations payment.

COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and
 Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into q heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in- gradients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sin ful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyetfr's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally. so evenly. You must dampen a sponge or soft brush
 with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another ap- plication or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Advertisement
