Married Men Cannot
Enlist in Marine Corps,
Recent Order Declares

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Old
Man Mars may be groggy from the
stiff body blows that have been
rained on him from all quarters
since Armistice day of 1918, but he
won hands down in St. Valentine s
week over the forces of Cupid in a
decision of the marine corps. In
the future no married man will get
by the recruiters who wear the blues
of the Marines nor will any be re-
enlisted from any branch of the
service except in specific cases of
men on duty at certain staff offices,
those detailed on recruiting duty and
the benedicts who have had long and
honorable service with the sea sol.
diers.
The order of Major General John
A. Lejeune was not issued as reflec
ton on the fighting merits Of the
men who have been seriously
wounded by Cupid's arrows. Vaude
Williams who declare that the mar
ried man is a better warrior because
he is always fighting will find nc
support in the order. 1t was based
on economic reasons; the pay of q
private and the lack of quarters at
most stations for the families of en-
listed men being the controlling rea
sons.

HE DARKENED HIS
GRAY HAIR
Tells How He Did 1t

Mr.. J. A. McCrea, a well-known
resident of California, who was
called Daddy and Grandpa on ac-
count Of his white hair, and who
darkened it with a homemade mix
ture, recently made the following
statement:
ANYONE can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair, and make it soft and glossy.
To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce
of bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and IA ounce Of glycer-
inc.
"These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. 1t
does not color the scalp, is not sticky
or greasy and does not rub off,"

your money-so take your choice"
nevertheless, I discover there are
a good many young folks who count
the cost before they spend the most
of their money and fatigue their
own selves to the breaking point,
when they have a long, long time to
enjoy their particular brand of mat
rimOny.
The Movies or Good Books
When 1 find children enjoying
books, say to myself, Happy fam
lily" "Safe thing to do"
These good books are fine compa-
ny for all of us, but especially to
the lonesome child, who Graves ex-
citement and must be restrained
from going at large with all sorts
of folks.
When these children fall in love
with the writer Of the good books,
as I fell in love with Dickens and
Thackery Through their writings),
there is no need to run down the
street to find a playmate to pass
off the time.
1t goes without saying that the
good book is first-class company, and
yet the humblest Of it's readers
do not need fine clothes or a letter
of introduction to enjoy this litera-
ry society to the limit.
Some times youngsters in their
plays get into fuses, and fuses are
disagreeable things. There are no
fuses in the enjoyment Of good
books.
1 am impressed to add a line as
to constant attendance on the NOV
ing pictures. Somehow there is a
craze for attendance, and the con-
slant spending, and the result, is
not remembrance Of the best things
but very deep impressions Of other
things that might as well be for
gotten.
Come back, dear children, to the
highly respectable company, which
you find in the good books! There
is nothing in the reading Of a fine
volume that can ever be regretted.

met with but little success In
this attempt of his. Peaceful per.
suasion has failed, and coercion
has already begun against the
Sikh, so much so, that even the
Sikh temple at Nankhan Sahel
has been outraged by the Briton.

Gandhi is more admired and
revered than followed in the land
of his birth. His failure to keep
India peaceful lands him into
prison today. And the tide of
militancy is rising so high that
the British government is con-
sidering the suspension of civil
authorities, and the placing of
the entire country under strict
and stringent martial law, so
that every man, every woman
and every child may be sum-
marily shot dead who dares to
show the least patriotic feeling,
and challenge, in thought, action
or word the political and military
supremacy Of the British in In
dia.
SPIRIT OF REVOLT DEEP.
II is daily becoming apparent
that the spirit Of revolt against
British rule is so deep seated and
widespread that an eruption can.
not be long delayed. The forces
that developed India's war OF inde-
pendence of 1857 are active again,
only In a more dynsmically vital
way. The secret revolutionary ac.
tivities which began in Bengal and
IN Maharashtra have spread all
over India.
The disloyalty Of the Indian
troops is daily becoming more evil
dent. During the sepoy war Of
1857 the sikh princes and the Sikh
soldiers sided with the British to
svenge their wrath against the
MoguI dynasty. But the Hindus
and the Mahommedans were united
as one In their opposition against
the British, Hindu generals and
Mohammedan generals, Hindu
troops and Mohsmmedan troops
fought side by side against the
British.

SEAT OF WAR SHIFTED.
While guerilla warfare was go
ing on in the north the principal
seat OF war shifted further south.
The Queen OF Jhansi was prepar-
ing TO declare ouen war on the
British. Numerous revoluionists
from the north rushed to Jhansi.
and Jhansi, under the able leader
ship of her twenty-three-year-old
Queen and general, was well pre-
pared to strike a blow against the
British for the Independence Of
the motherland. The Rance her.
self looked after the Notifications
and placement Of guns on the ram
parts of her forts. Both men and
women worked together for the
manufacture Of guns and ammuni.
tion, and both men and women
were drilled to join the ensuing
fight.
ENGAGEMENT BEGUN.
At last on the goth OF March,
1858. the British troops, under
General Sir Hugh Rose, encamped
fourteen miles away from Jhansi.
The engagement began on the
gath. Regular fight thickened
the next day. The British were
helpless before the Ranee's gun
ners, like Gneam Kahn and
Khuda Baksh. '"The Queen her
self led the whole army. On

she was moving about actively;
she was standing where guns

SmENCED QUEENS GUNS.
Thus REINFORCED. the British
began their assault again on
April 8. and succeeded at last
in silencing the guns OF the
Rance. The southern gate fell
first and the British entered
Jhansi. The Rance, with about
1900 men, rushed toward the Brit
ish. and with her sword moved
down the British soldiers, and
at last escaped through the
British lines by clever ruse.
