treDort of the work of the past year
showing the largest average attend

Young Dawsonian Enlists
AS Soldier of the Sea
George T. Allen Joins Marines, and Is
Now in Training at Paris Island.

By passing the required physical
examination George T. Allen. Of Daw-
son, has been accepted for three
years enlistment in the United States
marine corps, according to word re-
ceived from Captain George Bower,
Y. 5. M. C., recruiting officer at room
5l6 postoffice building, Atlanta.
Young. Allen, who is a son of Mrs.
Mary Jane Allen, of this city. recent
ly went to Atlanta in quest of infor-
nation pertaining to the marines, and
when Captain Bower told the Dawson
youth about the many advantages of
an enlistment he was more than anx-
iouS to enter the ranks. A physical ex-
animation, which is the downfall of
more than tWo-thirds of the Georgians
who apply for enlistment, was neces-
sary, but the young Dawsonian expe-
rienCed very little trouble with the
various tests and was returned to Cap
tain Bower with the official accept
ance of the medical examiner on his
enlistment papers.
Private Allen was then transferred
to the training camp at Paris Island,

portunity to study as well as take an
active part in healthy outdoor exer-
cises. Allen will remain at the training
camp for the next twelve weeks. after
which he will be transferred to a com
pany OF marines, whose destination
might be China Cuba or some other
place

"WAY DOWN EAST" A
WONDERFUL PICTURE
A TALE OF SIMPLE PEOPLE
WELL PRESENTED. FULL OF
LOVE, LAUGHTER, TEARS.

The public has shown on different
occasions their appreciation of worth
while pictures and never more con
vincingly than by their reception OF
Grifith's superb production, Way
Down East" a tale of simple people
told in a simple way, which many OF
them had seen in the larger cities as
it made its first rounds.
In discussing the picture with Mrs.
Dan Finn, one Of the best known and
most charitably inclined women of
Dawson when it comes to real COM
munity help, we asked the privilege
OF quoting her views OF the picture in
the following expressions:
Admitting that there are some
sordid phases OF the play, yet under
lying all is such a lesson OF good over
cmoing evil that one who studies the
context is impressed with the fact that
the film is true to life in every feature.
What town has not its Marthas, to
whom a bit of scandal is relished "as
a sweet morse under the tongue"
its Jonathans, who interpret the scrip
lures literally, losing sight OF the
Christ-like spirit; its Mrs. Jonathans,
who in a measure overcome the obsta-
Giles and smooth the way for earth's
weary Travellers its Annas, who suffer
throughout life for one innocent mis-
take; its Davids, with high and lofty
ideals and an over-masterlng love that
recognizes no barriers; and its ever
present villain, the wolves in Sleeps
clothing, that stalk within our midst?
What truer life could there be than
the woman bearing the stigma OF
shame while the man goes scot tree!
There are some highly dramatic situa-
tons, perhaps the most striking being
Miss Gish's acting in her denounce--
ment of tie deacon who was satisfied
with a half truth and the climax when
she turns the righteous wrath OF a
woman scorned upon the man respon-
sible for her suffering.
mo one but Mr. Griffith could have
conceived the thrilling situation OF the
river scene, the floating ice with its
human cargo and the miraculous es-
cape from the rapids, nor the down
fall OF the villain and the wedding
scenes that are the elimination OF the
several romances depicted. Taken as
whole, Way Down East keeps up
unAagging interest throughout, a
wholesome play of life as it is-its
sorrows and pains, its loves and its
joys-a picture that contains thrill
in every scene.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
TRY Grandmother Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
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 it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
nv asking at any drug store for
.cWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get large bottle OF this
lannon's old recipe, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair. as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or sort
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
annears. and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.

FARMER TELLS HOW TO
EXTERMINATE PESKY MITE
Uses a Salt Solution to Rid Fowls and
Nests of Vernin.

Anything which has been given a
thorough trial and found to be bene-
fetal is worth passing on to others.
As an exterminator of mites and 9th
er vermin on poultry a practical farm
er gives The News the formula OF a
salt solution, which he claims never
fails to do the work without injury
TO fowls or eggs. Into five gallons
of water dissolve one gallon OF salt
and sprinkle literally about the fowl
house and in the nests OF setting hens
infested with mites or heas. This kills
the vermin and saves a lot OF bother.

BY JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN

THE fOur-power Pacific treaty was
L ratified by the United States
senate Friday, March "a.
BY agreement made ten days in
advance the vote had been set for
that date. 1t came as the climax to q
week of strenuous oratory. The bit
terest debate was precipitated Mon
day when Senator Borah (Republican
Of Idaho) read into the record steno-
graphic report Of statement attrib-
uted to Paul D. Cravath, 1.-THE repre-
sentative of the Morgans and the
Ryans," to the effect that the United
States had entered into secret agree
ment to cooperate with Great Britain
against Japan in the Pacific. Senators
Lodge and Underwood, Republican and
Democratic floor leaders and American
delegates to the conference with Secre-
tary of State Hughes and Elihu Root,
denied the alleged Cravath statement.
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas, lead
Ing the Democratic opposition to the
treaty, demanded senatorial investi-
CATION and asked that Secretary

this point Senator Lodge said:
"This debate is proceeding upon the
theory that the four American dele
gates were not only ignorant and in
competent but that they. were prepared
to sbetray their country. 1t is an Inn
plication against the honesty and pa
triotism or" the President. l believe
that they are as patriotic and as de

their country as those who are slander-
Ing them by implication and insinua-
tions. I will trust the people of the

dent and the four delegates in this
great conference"
Later Mr.. Cravath emphatically de-
MED the statement attributed to him.
j Secretary Hughes wrote a letter in
which he said:
