During the war many of us were
too busy to read deeply on the ques-
tons of the day. Many, also, were
where authoritative information
could not be secured. AS a result
there is still a wide public which is
quite uniformed as to just why we
went to war with Germany. Some
say, Because the sinking of the
Lusitania made us mad!" Others
think, Because the Huns were such
beasts to the Belgians;" and still
others, Because Germany plotted
with Mexico to join Japan in a war
against u.s. However true these
things, they were not the reasons for
the break in diplomatic relations.
The various points of international
law on which Americas Case
Against Germany" rests are clearly
and cleyerly presented in book I'M
der that title by Lindsay Rogers, pro-
fessor of political science in the Uni
yersity of Virginia. The destruction
of neutral shipping; callous disre-
gard of the nature of their nation
atty, passengers, and cargo; de-
struction of vessels carrying women
and children with the loss of many
lives; and the final announcement
an unrestricted campaign of fright
fulness. these things are all covered
by international laws which were
first covertly, then openly flouted
Some of you may say: but the war
is over now; why read about it any
longer? Let's forget it!' Because
that is what Germany most desires
the world to believe, and because of
her entirely unrepentant attitude,
expressed in the sermons of her
ministers, lecturers of her professors,
and literary publications for home
(see "Hurrah and Hal
lelujah" by Dr.. ]. P. Bang) there

How do you do
1 am introducing myself as book
lover, and hope 1 shall find you are
one also, or at least that you will be-
come one in the course of our week
ly book chats.
What books or writer's are you
personally, most interested in? Is
there a new book you have heard Of
about which you are curious? And
do you want to know, through this
book chat, whether the author of
"Pigs Is Pigs" is married; if the
Rome where Harold Bell Wright was
born is in Italy or New York state;
and what else the author of "Rebecca
of Sunnybrook Farm has written?
I want to make this column enter
tanning and interesting, as we'll as
to give you information about the
new books you have not yet had
chance to read, and authors you have
not been introduced to before.
SO if you have questions to- ask,
just send me a card or a note, in care
of the editor of the paper. He will
see that ! get it, and as soon as
I can | will answer in the column.
Sometimes there may be delay, for
maybe you will ask me something |
do not know, and l will have to find
out That may take quite a little
time-long enough, perhaps, for me
to write letter and wait for an
answer But eventually you will hear

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and LuStre to Hair.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrOus almost over
night if you'll get a bottle of "Wey-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at
any drug store. Millions of bottles
of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, are sold annually, says a
well-known druggist here, because it
darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that no one can tell it has been
applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.

BATTERY IS
MOST DESIRABLE FOR
RADIO WORK, REPORT

The a battery on any radio set
must above all other things. supply
current at a uniform voltage rate in
order to avoid the need for continual
rcadjustment OF the filament rheostat
Second only TO this. however. comes
light weight and portability.
Practically all storage batteries be-
ing designed for radio purposes arc
made as light as is consistent with
high capacity and efficiency. Some
of the smaller a. batteries are being
equipped with removable heavy steel
bail handles which make carrying
from place TO place very easy.
The Willard Storage Battery com
pany of Cleveland have recognized the
demand for light weight and con
venient handles in the new ali-rubber
radio "a" battery. which is nov ready
for distribution. The smallest of
these. having n twenty ampere-hour
capacity weighs but twenty-five
pounds an dthe larger sizes are in pro
portion.
Aside from the handle on these hat.
tories and their much smaller size and
compact construction, they very close

NEW Strike IN

The strike at Rocky Ridge was
