Actress Tells Secret
Tells How to Darker Gray Hair
With a Home Made Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the well-known
American actress, recently made
the following statement about
gray hair and how to darken it,
with a homemade mixture:
Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will grad.
ually darken gray, streaked or
faded 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 a
ounce of giycerine.
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. This will make
a gray-haired person look twenty
years younger. 1t does not color
the scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off"

a pair Of silver cntrce dishes for

outline Of three balls arranged in

should have got them OUT

clined my kind suggestion and

retrieve my blunder.
my dear Sonia"---
"My name is Damaris O'Neill."
| wondered why on earth had
called her Sonia. Sonia has been
dead for seven years.
"My dear Damaris, not only
shall you have the loan of my
entree dishes, but you shall have
my silver soup tureen, which dates
from the time of good Queen
Anne; also any little trihes in the
way of candles, rose bowls, or any
thing like that; and | insist on
being allowed to stand the dinner
that is, II you will allow me to
share II. Otherwise I will shoot
myself for having offended you.
You will hear me shoot myself at
exactly twenty minutes to eight.
I simply cant bear to think of you
and your brother popping the last
of your family jewels in order to
buy steak for your hideous
maiden aunt"
"She isn't hideous, and she's
been married twice." laughed
Damaris, suddenly relcnting.
I dared not ask her what they
called her for short, in case she
froze again, and did so want her
to like me. didn't want to be a
bachelor all my life, and of course,
any other girl was out of the ques-
tion now. Even Sonia-who any
way was dead and rather out of Il,
as you might say.
"Perhaps ! ought to tell you,"
said my fantastically beautiful
visitor, "that Aunt Katherine Is
our legacy aunt, otherwise I
shouldn't make such fuss about
offending her. Legacy aunts are
really rather important. SO then
it's settled about the dinner?"

$4,000 QUIT JOBS
ON RAILROADS TO
SUPPORT STRIKERS

CHICAGO, July 17.-Seventy five
thousand railroad workers are on strike
in sympathy with 100000 shopmen, ac-
cording to figures compiled today.
A gradual increase in the number OF
men who have walked out in unauthor-
lied strikes was reported from many
sections of the country.
The largest single group to walkout
has come from the maintenance of
way men. J. G.. Smock, vice president
of the maintenance of way union, de-
clared at least $4,000 members of that
organizat ion were idle. The strikers
will be outlawed, he announced.
Added to this figure are $4,000
oilers, stationary firemen and engi
neers. whose strike was authorized to-
day and 5000 members of the American
federation of Railroad Employees, in
cluding painters and inspectors, clerks.
freight handlers and other classes of
mskilled. laborers who have walked
out, total at least $4,000.
More than 1000 semiskilled railroad
workers in the Twin Cities and others
in the Northwest were reported to have
walked out today, bringing almost a
complete halt to locomotive freight and
passenger car maintenance work.

PRESIDENT PLANS
MOVE TUESDAY TO
END STRIKE STRIFE

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Y. S.
government moved to end the coal
strike today following the killing of
l3 men in pitched battle between
striking coal miners and mine guards
and deputy sheriffs at Cliftonville, w.
Va.
The cabinet will decide tomorrow
whether the United States army shall
be ordered to duty in rail and mine
strike centers where violence has oc-
CURED, Secretary of War Weeks stat
ed this afternoon.
The federal government s next move
to bring about prompt termination of
the nationwide coal strike will be an
nounced within "a hours, Attorney
General Daugherty stated at the
White House today after conference
with President Harding. 1t is thought
that legal action against both operat-
ors and miners would be started.
President Harding, realizing that he
is facing the gravest crisis of his ad-
ministration, is dev0ting all his time to
the problems.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, as
one of the leading stockholders of the
Pittsburgh Coal Co., today intervened
in the conference here of bituminous
operators and urged Western Pennsyl-
vania coal men to accept President
Harding's proposal for arbitration of
the coal strike, it was said this after
noon.
The operators are said to be about
evenly divided ON the Harding PROPOSE
tion with the Western Pennsylvania
group which, because the voting in the
conference is on a tonnage basis, is
said to be controlled by Melons COM
pany, holding the deciding votes.
The pinch of the coal shortage be-
came acute today. In Cleveland, rail
roads threatened to cOnfiscate coal to
run their trains. From Detroit it was
reported that hundreds of lake vessels
would be tied up unless relief came.
The bituminous operators late today
offered to put their mines and their
own services at the disposal of the
president in accepting the president s
proposal for a settlement of the strike.
The operators accepted the "broad
principle of arbitration but made no
reference to Harding's proposal for
continuing the old wage scale pending
arbitration.

LEADING CITIZENS TO
SUPPORT DAVIS

George IT. Davis was today present
ed with petition signed by 1870 of the
leading citizens of the valley urging
him to accept the nomination for as
semblyman to represent Imperial coun'
ty at Sacramento and pledging him
heartiest support in the canvass.
''We, the undersigned citizens of
Imperial county, says the petition,
recognizing the importance of having
a man of ability and character repre-
sent the county in the state assembly,
at this time when there are so many
matters of vital Importance to come
before the legislature, particularly the
upholding of the constitution of the
United States in the passing of laws
to concurrently enforce the eighteenth
amendment, do most earnestly petition
Won to announce your candidacy for
the assembly in the 18th assembly dis
trict and pledge to you our heartiest
support in your campaign.
Mr. Davis has filed his petition and
thrown his hat intb the ring. Although
there has been some talk of another
candidate, the campaign for Mr.. Davis
has already gathered such momentum
it is believed no one else will enter The
race against him. He has been endorsed
by the farm bureau, the Anti-Saloor
League and will probably receive the
endorsement of the taxpayers asso
