PORTLAND. ore.-Hobbies ex-
pose queer quirks Of human nature
and few normal humans are free
from the collecting virus In some
form, but Miss Millie Schloth, swim
ming instructor for the public
schools Of Portland. undoubtedly has
the most singular fad Of all. She
collects excuses. Not for personal
use-don't understand this-but the
kind that pupils hand teacher when
absent or tardy.
Could there be an exchange for
rare specimens Of this kind Miss
Schloth Is certain that she has some
priceless bits Of paper. They come
in every form, mostly scribbled hur-
riedly on scraps Of paper with pencil.
Some Of them contain evidence Of
tragic happenings in the home. 9TH
ers veer around to the ridiculous.

are that Paul had fine time that

and thought he was a lucky chap
until teacher refused to accept his

Ruth's father writes teacher that
her mother is in the asylum and that
he has had to keep Ruth out OF
school to look after her two little
sisters. Again he writes OF the
hOusekeeper's dereliction in neglect

Ruth to school.
Another mother writes;

other examples:
''Verna complained OF a headache
this morning, so I gave her some
castor oil and kept her at home"
please excuse Edith for staying
home this morning. We were out

Now I will do my best to see that Il

Harding Delayed,
Wins His Laurels
As Song Leader

DAYTONA, Fla, Feb. s.-With
the houseboat Victoria sGill fast
aground on a shoal in Mosquito La
goon, President-elect Harding de-
cided late last night that he would
be forced to complete the 10000
miles to ST. Augustine by rail.
Late tonight the Victoria was ly-
ing on her mudbank. two miles OF
shore, bravely defying all efforts to
pull her of. Pessimistic fishermen,
watching the rescue operations,
were willing to bet anybody in
sight that the Victoria couldn't be
budged until the next full moon
brought in a flood tide. 80
But, despite the plight OF the Vic
toria, the President-elect spent one
of the happiest days Of his Florida
vacation.
Daytonians opened W. the town
to the party and, after luncheon,
brought a feet Of motorcars out to
the golf course to take Harding and
the others back TO the Victoria.
Arriving at Mosquito Lagoon. the
President-elect and the motor party
sat on the steps Of a deserted FISH
ing shack and watched the futile
attempts to drag the houseboat into
deeper waters.
Just as the warm tropio night
was about to descend the President
elect reached the end Of a perfect
day by leading the crowd in the
chorus OF Good Night, Ladies,
which had to be sung at least a
dozen times.

MOTION PICTURES
MADE FIELD FUNNY
Collapse of Old Melodrama
Companies Forced Him to
Headline in Burlesque.

Had the manufacture of motion
pictures become only a small part
of the theatrical business, instead
of a major branch, Max Field fea-
tured comedian with the Jingle
Jingle" company, at the Gayety,
would probably still be with an old
time melodrama company. instead
of playing to Washingtonians this
week.
And if the picture business had
remained small, Field would prob
ably be an ordinary actor, instead
OF one OF the fastest and funniest
Hebrew comedians on the burlesque
stage today.
Mr.. Field was member OF a
melodrama company that played
such thrilling pieces as Nick Car
ter's Last Shot" and Ike, the News
boy" After pictures were intro
duCed. these old-timers were de-
throned and disorganized and the
players had to seek elsewhere for
employment. Field then took to
vaudeville and played all the then
big-time vaudeville circuits. Seven
years ago he was offered a chance
in burlesque. He accepted the offer,
and before long soon headed his
class of comedians on the circuit.
Field is an ardent supporter Of
boxing, even more SO than base
ball. which is commonly known as
the best-liked sport of actors. Benny
Leonard. the lightweight champion
of the world, is a neighbor and pal
of Field. which accounts for his
interest in the game.
Field still uses whiskered
makeup in his role in Jingle jim
gle." but claims that when he comes
to Washington next year he'll work
minus his beard.
But what is a Hebrew comedian
without whiskers. ANYHOW?

COMB SAGE TEA
into CRAY HAIR
Ladies! Try Thisl Darkens Beau
tifully and Nobody Can Tell
Brings Back Its Gloss

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur ahd 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
improved by the addition of other
ingredients a large bottle, at little
cost, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound. 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 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. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
