AGED IN DENMARK
ARE PROVIDED FOR

COPENHAGEN, Denmark-No man
or woman in Denmark above the age
of IS years need worry as to how he
or she shall exc out living. Dem
mark has an old age pension law
which makes it unnecessary for any
aged person to starve.
When a person has reached the age
of 65 he has the choice of three pos
sibilities: He may decide that he has
sufficient private income so that he
need accept no help from the state.
Secondly, he may accept fixed year.
ly rental from the state, which is
large enough for him to spend his
old age in reasonable comfort. Third
ly, he may elect to go to one of the
state-owned homes for the aged, IN
which his food is prepared for him,
his room kept in order, and his other
bodily wants attended to. In the cases
of married couples, small apartments
in these homes are placed at their
disposal, so that they may enjoy all
the comforts of home life.
The provisions of the law do not
extend to persons who have DELHI
erately signed over their possessions
to their children or relatives so as to
be practi cally penniless.

ANNUAL ACCIDENTS

Total annual wage loss in this coun-

dependents are reimbursed in acct

$2O0,OOO,O0O each year. Thus in spite

To Darker Hair
Apply Sage Tea
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Attrae-
tlVeness.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added,
will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation If your hair is fading,
streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage
Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store all ready for use. This is
the old-time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant.-AdY.

FUNNY STUFF.

A lumberjack with a broken leg
was taken to hospital for treatment
After the leg had been set the nurse
asked him how the accident occurred
He replied:
"You see, ma'am, it was this way:
l was skyhooking for the Potlatcf
Lumber company, and l had only one
ground mole. He sent up a big blue
butt and she was a heavy one. saw
her yaw and yelled to him to give heI
st. Croix, instead of which he threw
sag into her and gunned her, and
that broke my leg"
"Yes," the nurse replied, "but do
not exactly understand"
Neither do l." said the lumberjack.

ut was not uncommon for men to
sign the lease without knowing what
it was. Most of the houses were gen.
orally lacking in the essentials of a
comfortable dwelling; rooms were
small and few in number; they were
inconvenient, insanitary, ill-ventilat-
ed and cold. Some were said to be
like paper when the wind struck
them. The flooring was often only a
single layer of boards, sometimes with
cracks an inch or more wide, placed
over open foundations through which
the cold air circulated freely"
The need of a bath in a miners
home is a real one, it was stated, but
of all the families interview, but 50
homes-"usually those of the mine exA
ecutives"-had baths in their homes,
so that only 1876 of the 1928 children
enjoyed what in these days is con-
sidered a necessity"
without a bathroom, the miners
daily bath is likely to be taken under
uncomfortable and inconvenient cir
cumstances. Water-a small amount
at best-must be heated on the kitch-
en- stove, and in the small, crowded
houses strict privacy is difficult to
secure.
"One-fourth of the school rooms
had too few seats for the average
number of pupils attending, and at
least five had no seats at all, or from
three to seven single seats for class
es of from 1S to So pupils. In one
camp 25 wooden boxes for the chill
dren to use as seats had been sup
piled by the grocer.
Half the schools had no water on
the premises. Several teachers said
they had instructed the children to
drink at home and not ask for water
when in school,"

been hit hard by the deflation of farm
prices. However, a good fruit crop
has been harvested that is improving
the situation considerably, but while
good wheat crops are to be harvested
such a low price is being paid that
it will be year or more yet before
the wheat farmers will again get on
their feet. However, as conditions
improve building activity is setting
in and the labor movement of that
vicinity will make steady progress
during the coming winter.
At the meeting of the Central La
Dor Council a live committee was Sc
lected, headed by T. c. Stevens, to
raise funds with which to send Chas.
Semple, a member of the Carpenters
union and former vice-president of the
State Federation of Labor, to the
Mayo Bros. institute at Rochester,
MINI. Brother Semple has been help
less for over a year with a tumor on
the brain, and so weak is his con-
dition that all local physicians recon-
mend against an operation, due to the
fear of his inability to survive it. His
only hope of successful treatment is
by the Mayo Bros. The committee
will solicit funds by subscription and
is arranging for relief dance, prob
ably in the Armory, to insure suffi-
cient funds to properly take care of
the case.
Vice-President c. L. Gallant, of the
Federation, is critically i'll at the St.
Elizabeth hospital in Yakima. He has
been i'll ever since his return from
the State Federation convention
where he was confined to his room
during the entire session, and he SUI
fered a relapse last week when it was
decided to take him to the hospital
A careful examination is being made
by his physicians and an analysis Of
his blood is being made and a con-
ference during the coming week will
determine whether or not an opera
tion will be necessary. While his con-
dition is quite critical, his physician
and friends confident that he will
fully recover, but point out that it
will take several months before he
can possibly recover, completely, his
health.
Conditions in the Yakima valley are
steadily improving The fruit farmers
have harvested a big crop and good
prices, in the main, were obtained.
Building is going steadily forward in
Yakima and building trades unions are
again becoming active.

LABOOR SITUATION

Congressman Johnson has replied to
letter addressed to him last week
by President Short, informing him
that several hundred Mexicans had
been brought in to Longview from
California, and requesting that he
make an investigation to determine
whether or not the alien contract la

gresham Johnson in his letter states
that thorough inquiry will be made
and that if he finds out the laws are
being violated he will take action.
His letter also points out that they

cedes went on. She found a tiny
spring trucking to her right. She
vet her lips with its water and fol-
lowed its course. Soon she caught

out to the shore of the lake. She
cried out with new courage. Her
voice rolled over the water to the
cove where her brother lay.
Esteban jumped at the sound of
it. He had already waited long past
the appointed time to send the raft
adrift. The echo of that cry in the
awful stiffness decided him to tarry
no longer. He cqpped his hands to
his lighted match, and the long fuse
began to sputter. The wind at his
back was strong and steady. A
healthy push, and the raft with its
deadly load tioated away across the
silvery water.
He did not wait to speculate on
the success of its errand. he had

1t, riding along as it was fifty yards
from the bank. She found, however
that she kept abreast of it as she
followed the margin of the lake to-
ward the dam.
This was all very well for a time
but as she came to d cove that cut
back into the hills she began TO
despair. By the time she had got
around it, the raft would be far
ahead. But without looking back she
started on the attempt. She had not
made more than half Of the way,
when she darted a glance at the
mo~ug raft. He's breath actually
stopped for an instant at what she
beheld. If it had been a liner MAX
ing port the raft could not have
turned more accurately and headed
more directly for the little cove on
the shore of which she stood. Mer-
cedes ran toward it. She saw its
speed slacken. Then came a second
when it seemed to stand still. The
next minute the current was NOV
ing it back into the lake.
Without stopping to ask herself
what she would do, or how she
would get back to the land, if she
were once on the raft, she jumped
for it. The force with which she
landed was impetus enough to send
it bobbing through the wafer until
the cove was yards behind her.
She scrambled to her feet and
with her boot-heel ground the coal
INTO ashes.
She lurched toward the center of
the logs, her arms lowered to help
herself to a sitting position, when a
scream was WEung from her, The
glowing coal that she had stamped
into the cedar was gone, but in its
place rose a blaze a foot high
A little trickle of oil had seeped
back to where she had crunched the
end of the fuse. The wind had
famed an unseen spark to life.
The flames were mounting higher
and higher, sending out greedy
tongues that licked at her body. In
rage of helpless impotence, she
raised her torn hands and struck
and beat the iron thing before her.
The cuts on her knuckles and fingers
bled afresh, but she was fast losing
the power to feel pain. Salty tears
ran into the corners Of her mouth.
From her lips came a wild, almost
