and Mexico, is now estimated al
3,Ol2, $4,000 bushels by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, bas-
ed on official and unofficial estimates

Over Entire Country,
Reports Show.

WASHINGTON-|1rom all Eides
comes assurance that the country is
making rapid progress towards a SUI.
pernormalcy, which will spell full din
ner pals, coal bins, and bank &C
counts. Roger w. Babson, noted
statistician, says that we are at the be-
ginning of an upward swing to peak
of prosperity which will not be reach
ed for two years at least
B. c. Forbes has charts and figures
to prove that the country is but enter
ing the period of good times from
the period Of bad times which were
the reaction from war initiation.
The Department Of Labor finds that
the nation is calling for labor, and
that the unemployment situation of a
few months ago is so altered as to
be unrecognizable.
The coal strike is over and while
coal will rot be plentiful. there is no
famine or fuel hardship in sight. Tex
tile strikes in New England are rapid
ly being settled; the railroad strike
is "of'' so far as the carriers and the
public are concerned; and the steel
industries show large untitled ton
mage and increase in employment.
Building construction all over the
country has taken new lease of life,
and the housing shortage which is
practically Nation wide, is being to
some extent relieved if not cured.
The new tariffs have not yet proved
as upsetting in financial circles as its
opponents prophesied, and the recent
announcement of the government that
no new taxes were in prospect, and
the shelving of the bonus bill idea
for an indefinite period have removed
the spectre of increased income taxes.

Quarter of Million
Men Lease Positions.
Strike Figures Compiled Show Large
Number of Shopmen Remained
On Job.

WASHINGTON - More than a
quarter of approximately
255, 266-railroad workers left service
in the national strike last July, accord
ing to statistics made public by the
interstate commerce commission. This
represented the decrease in the actual
working forces in maintenance of
equipment occupations between June
IS and July Is, but the railroads re-
porting, which included practically
all the countrys rail mileage, still had
in service in the shop Crafts on the
later date, 22O,749 men.
The total number of all railroad
employees on July Is, as found by the
commission, was 1,467,824, or 2l7,5oO
less than the total one month before.

WILL PROTECT
co j R 7 RIGHTS
Security League Assails
Those Who Would
Review Discussions

WASHINGTON The American
Security League, in statement just
made public, says:
THE most powerful minority in the
country to-day, which has a way of
getting what it wants, even at the risk
of the general interest of the citizens
as whole, and whose whispers ring
as shouts in the ears of the average
legislator, announce their determine
ton to obtain amendment of the Con-
stitution to permit Congress to over
ride and nulify decisions OF the SUI
preme Court. This is the most dan
gerously destructive doctrine that has
been voiced in America since the birth
of bolshevism.
Such an amendment would convert
our government overnight into a mob
ocracy under the leadership of the
demagogues and destroy by one blow
the inherent rights of all nlinorities
against the possible tyranny OF tenn
porary political majority.
"The National Security League in
tends to exert every effort in its pow
er to controvert this movement and
to prevent such an amendment from
passage. The fact that the attack is
by an organized body of hundreds of
thousands of citizens makes it essen
tial that broad national campaign OF
opposition be started at once"
Luckily for the nation, a large ma
jority OF legislators in both Houses
of congress, regard the proposal to
vest a power in congress to review
supreme court decisions as wholly
against the spirit of the scheme OF
government which has made the Unit
ed States the Nation which it is.

To SAVE COAL
DV|CE OBJECT
Uncle Sam Tells How
ToConserve Nations
Fuel.

WASHINGTON-To save money
and coal, inspect your house, says the
commerce departments housing divi-
sion, and do these things:
Stop ali unregulated drafts through
the house.
Use storm doors and storm or
double windows in cold climate, if
practicable, at least on the side Of the
house facing the prevailing cold wind.
Plug cracks around or in all win
dows and doors. Use felt, if neces-
sary, under outside doors. Reset
hinges on doors if necessary.
See that there are no cracks in
window castings or between walls and
castings, or between the sash. Tight
en- sash locks. Use putty and weather
stripping where necessary.
Inspect windows and walls of attic
Dead air in an attic keeps the lower
stories warmer. Plug up any openings
from attic between walls.
In basement plug any openings from
outside or between walls Cover fur.
mace and steam and hot water heating
pipes, if practicable.
Close openings between walls and
use newspapers under the carpets if
there are drafts through the floor.
Study manufacturers directions as
to care of furnace. Replace cracked
or broken CRATES. Examine hampers
of firepaces. When fireplaces and
stoves are not in use hampers should
be closed. Clean chimney and stove
pipes periodically or whenever neces-
sary.
Lock windows when closed. Draw
shades, if practicable. Turn off heat
in rooms with windows left open and
in unused rooms. Remember that
good ventilation is possible without
large openings.
Remember that thermometers are
better cages of heat than are the var
ious members of a family, each with
his own idea of want Sixty-eight to
seventy degrees is normal, health
full temperature for room in which
people live.
Remember that these suggestions
imply a possible saving of millions OF
tons of coal this winter.

RADIO IS USED
To SPREAD DOPE
Million Baseball Fans
Hear Report of the
Worlds Series.

Northumberland Rice
tells an interesting story of sending
his report of the great baseball battle
in which the New York Giants defeat
ed the Yankees in the worlds series,
to a million people
1--WE have been asked to tell Just
how it feels to talk to million people,
scattered over two hundred thousand
square miles. in a single address,
whites Mr.. Rice in the New York Tri-
bune.
after the first pleasant shock, when
we discovered that no one could
answer lis back or cut in with a win
ming argument, the rest of it was
something of thrill in this respect at
least.
"After the first inaugural statement
it was as simple as talking to one
man. a dumb man who wasn't deaf; as
simple as asking for cigarette or
dering a peck of potatoes from the
grocer over the phone.
"The most intricate contrivance in
the world, to one as IMMERSED in me-
chanics or electricity as we are, had
suddenly become the simplest thing
in highly complex age. If we had
ever been addicted to public speak
ing we might have missed the ringing
applause from Jour audience. Still,
there were moments when we also felt,
by overworking the imagination, that
we could take the cheers for irish and
Nehf and Bush as personal tributes
at the conclusion of some ringing out
burst of eloquence, such as kelly
strikes out"
"Our imagination possibly should
also have encompassed the great
crowds and the distant spaces waiting
for the story of each play. There
was an early flash of this, but after a
single inning it was just as if we had
been doing this same thing for twenty
years, showing how quickly human ma
ture adjusts itself to the ways of
science and the sudden shocks of mod
ern existence, where the impossible
takes place every fifteen or twenty
through the day

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 a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
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 Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe inn
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents at small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyefh's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or 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 another applica-
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.
