EASY ID DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture
 though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready to-use preparation, improved by the addi-
 ton of other ingredients, called
 "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw tris through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glos- sy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is Q sign of old age. and as we all desire a youthful and attrac- tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound, and look years younger. Adv.

TENSION H|GH IN TALLADEGA OWING
 TO GIRL L'S MURDER
Officers Being Sent From Montgomery to Help Guard Alleged Slayer From
 Possible Attack

TALLADEGA, Ala, Feb. To- Feeling was still at a high pitch Saturday over the brutal murder of May Bell Mccullough. 16, who was assaulted and murdered near her residence in Lincoln. Ala, last Tuesday and in connection with the crime Gordon Fincher, 30, is being held in the county jail at Talladega.
 Fearing that an attack might be made against the county Jail coun- ty officers have taken every precau- tion to safeguard the prisoner. Wal ter K. MeAdory, chief state law en- forcement officers will send a corps of officers from Montgomery to Tal- ladega Sunday to aid county officers in quell$ng any disturbance that might arise. Farmers and some business men of the surrounding vii cinity were thronging the streets Saturday, some of whom were armed. No outbreak had occurred late Saturday night, however.
 McDuff Investigates
 Detective M. E. McDuff, Birming ham finger-print expert, who re- turned to police headquarters In Bir mingham Saturday. after three days spent in the investigation of the crime in conjunction with Tafladega county officers, stated that strength in the states case aganist Fincher depends largely on Identification through muddy finger prints and. the analysis of blood stains found on Fincher's knife, trousers and leg gings.
 Detective McDuff regarded time spent with the officers as produc- tive of substantial evidence. Print of a left hand, found on the side of tree limb directly over where the girls body was found, may prove the most important piece of evidence accumulated in the case, inasmuch as several splotches of blood were found in the mud. Possibility of finder prints being obtained from the clay is practically hopeless, accord ing to McDuff Finger prints marred with mud were found on the stock of a shotgun, said to have been taken from Fincher's home, and may prove valuable in the investigation.
 Body Concealed in Hole
 Evidence obtained by the officers in their investigation was that the girl was attacked in a thatch of woods near her residence Tuesday morning by a man. who waylaid her. iiS SOuHS 6iil was etSSduileu Dy llS man, who attempted to cover up his crime by cutting the girls throat six times, and then dragging her lifeless body 200 feet and partially concealing it in q stump hole
 Fincher, since his arrest, has stout 1y asserted his innocence of the charge, and explained the presence of the blood on his clothing and knife in the fact that he had killed hogs. Fincher is married and has four children.

RELIEF FELT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-(By Asso- clated Press. )-Action of the Turkish
 authorities in deferring execution of
 the order closing Smyrna harbor to foreign warshps except of limited size, occasioned manifest relief in official circles here
 American representatives in the
 Near East have been watching the situation at Smyrna with much con- cern. There has been fear that basty
 action of a local Turkish commander
 there might precipitate hostilities
 between the Turkish military and all lied warships.
 This feeling, 1t was learned today, was voiced in a conference between American and Turkish representa-
 tives at Constantinople several days ago in connection with the Smyrna farbor closure order The American viewpoint was expressed informally and in line with general instructions of the Washington government to its
 representatives in the Near East to use their influence wherever possible, whether during the Lausanne con- ference or elsewhere, to bring about amicable relations between the Turks and the allies.
 There has been no occasion as yet for any action In Washington in con-
 nection with the status of American
 ships in Smyrna harbor. So far as
 official advices show, the Turkish au-
 thorities have not sought to apply the
 harbor closure rule to American
 ships, which are those of a power not at war with Turkey
 It Is regarded as wholly unlikely, l therefore, that any new instructions will be forwarded to American naval cit rtc
 in which some definite threat is di- rected al American vessels. Reports on movements of the American de-
 stroyer squadron in Near Eastern waters indicate that they have been
 moving in and out of Smyrna with apparent freedom since the closure | order was announced by the Turks.

MANY CAUGHT MAPPING BY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN

The witches of Macbeth could hardly have conjured up a worse tempest than ragged Saturday night. Those who needed the prophecies of the forecaster who was diabolically accurate in his prediction of rain and yet more rain, were forewarned, forearmed
 Despite the warning of the weather man, many who ventured out Satur- day night were caught mapping. The theatre crowds were forced to wade through miniature lakes which formed in the streets and gutters and the belated shoppers, had much ado to reach home even relatively dry, in the language of Einstein.
 Cabs and cars were taxed to their capacity and the only consolation anyone could feel if consolation there were, was that there was no sleet or freezing spell to contend with.

LEGION MAY ERECT HOME

The American Legion auxiliary and Worth Lewis post will consider plans Friday afternoon for the erec- tion of a home or the leasing of per manent quarters This plan has been talked over for some time, and mem- bers of both organizations feel that work toward this end can be under taken in the near future.
 Mrs. Lacey Edmundson, who was the national delegate to the execu- tive committee meeting recently in Indianapolis will present her report at the Friday meeting. She will have many important suggestions to make in regard to future plans of the aux Hilary and the post, which were dis cussed by the executives.
 Members of both organizations believe that if it is decided to erect a. permanent home there will be no trouble in raising funds for this purpose. The two organizations have spent large sums in the past few years in relief work and enter tainment for ex-soldiers and other civic moves. There is considerably less demand now for relief funds and much of the money now being received could be easily diverted to pay for handsome home it is point ed out.

M THERE VETOES MILK ORDINANCE;
 NE w FIGHT SURE
Failure of Measure Sponsored by Dairymen Was Freely Predicted - Mrs.
 Owens Wins
BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Bessemer, Ala, Feb. 10
 Mayor R. P. McTyeire, Saturday, vetoed the milk inspection ordi- nance as passed at the Tuesday ses- sion of the city council, thereby sending the measure back to the council for repassage. As it will re- quire a two-thirds majority of the council to pass the ordinance over the veto of the mayor, a lively fight is expected to develop. There are ten councilmen, six voting for the ordinance, while to pass it over the mayors veto, it will require seven votes. It Is predicted that the meas ure will probably fail to receive the necessary vote, as it has been a bone of contention for the past five months. All the aldermen have taken part in heated debates over the advisability of it's adoption, and hence will be slow to change their attitude.
 The ordinance as passed Tuesday was drawn up by the Dairymen's as- sociation, and submitted to the coun- cil at the same time that another ordinance was drafted by Dr. J. D. Bowling, county health officer. The council voted down the ordinance submitted by Dr. Bowling and i'm mediately afterward adopted the ordinance drawn up by the Dairy mems association. The four alder men favoring the Bowling ordinance were: R. M. Mingea, J. M. Woods, L.. Y. Lipscomb and Kelly Johnson. At the same meeting the council elected D. L. Fulton as meat and milk in- spector, releasing Claud Moore, who has been working with the county health department.
 The ordinance vetoe practically eliminates control of inspection of milk by county health authorities, and makes the meat and milk in spector accountable to the city coun- cil. The consideration of the meas ure will be watched with interest, as it will be fight between the county health department and the Dairy mems association, it is stated. Dr. J. D. Bowling has attended practi . cally every meeting of the city coun- cil for the past five months, in an attempt to have the ordinance his department drew up adopted at Bes- semer. The same ordinance is now being enforced in Birmingham and Fairfield.
