We have no ambition to see the Brit

EASY To DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sag Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, so even
ly. Preparing this mixture, though, at
home is mussy and troublesome. At
little cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of otner ingre-
dicnts called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen
a sponge or seft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at time By morning all gray
hair disappears, and, after another ap-
pTication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy and lux
uriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire a youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busyN at once with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger.

This is the chronicle of the ne
elected truth about the infamous "M.
o. i"
During the war the ship specula-
tor took full advantage of his in
fiuence to promulgate, first, "M. o.
l. which translated means, "Man-
agers-Operators Agreement No. 1,
then NJ. o. 2, which gave the ship
operator more chance to make pro-
fits-and the government less chance
Va get anything but losses-than
under NJ. o. l. Then followed M.
@. 9. which added still more profits
to the speculators-and finally the
infamous NJ. o. 4-the climax of this
whole series of agreements in which
each succeeding one took more from
the treasury and poured it into the
Golfers of the private operators than
tn preceding one.
Is the NJ. o. Infamous?
Let Albert D. Lasker, then chair
man of the Shipping Board, tell, as
he told Congress, what it is:
" %the Shipping Board de-
vised a plan of leasing the boats

turned out to have been as vicious

That was in July, 1921. And agair
later, said Lasker:

The UNITED States
OF BRITISH EMPIRE
BRITISH STATESMEN NOW AID
NIT ENGLAND is MADE UP
OF SEVERAL STATES

Washington, Dec. 12.-"Out of the
recent Imperial Conference in London
there have come expressions fron
spokesmen of both England and the
Dominions which indicate a new con-
ception of the relationship between
the component parts of the British
Empire" says the Republican Publi-
city association. "It has heretofore
been the custom not only in England
but elsewhere throughout the world
to look upon England as the parent
nation and the dominant power in the
Empire. The Dominions and Colonies
have been looked upon as mere de-
tendencies subject to the will of the
parent. At a recent Imperial Con-
ference views radically different were
advanced. Prime Minister Baldwin,
exposing his qualification over the
very pleasant conference with spokes-
men from Canada, India, took occa-
sion to remark:
"It is something comparatively
new and striking that we should all
have grown to feel habitually, not
that there is an England with depen-
denotes or annexes, or circumferences,
but that we here in England are part
of a larger whole which is an organic
united family of free nations"
"The same sentiment was expressed
e by Prime Minister King, of Canada
, who reviewed various plans for uni.
fled government throughout the EN-
t pire and explained the reasons why
n certain plans had been rejected
: Among the plans found impractica
d was that of British Parliament In
+ cluding representatives from all th'
:. dependencies on an equal footing, ant
d also a plan for an Imperial Council t.
T frame policies which would goverl
4 the Empire as a whole. He said tha
n better plan than these had bee
n found which, in substance, is a con
g ception of the British Empire as
Is community of free nations, one grea
r entity, composed of different domlr
ions and countries, having parliament
and governments of their own, bu
as all related to the Mother Governmer
VI. and the Mother Parliament under tn
a same flag and owing allegiance

ne pire has become a sort OF unite

flated profit made by the stevedore." "
Operators Couldn't Lose
Commander Richard D. Gatewood,
head of the repair department of the
Shipping Board told Congress in
1921:
The Chairman-"What necessity
was there as long as they were getting
five per cent on the gross revenues 2"
Commander Gatewood-'I am very
glad you asked that, because it
gives me chance to say this about
this five per cent gross revenue thing.
Prior to the present agreement there
was another agreement, a managing
agency agreement, called NJ. o. 3, =
= Under the previous agreement
and we are paying some of the bills

The Chairman-'There was some
sense in that"
Commander GatewOod-'In the net,
yes, sir; but when the slump came
along, the operators refused to par
ticipate in the net losses, which they
anticipated would be heavy, and II
