eminent position was giving him an
unfair advantage over them.
Sees New Angle OF Duty.
Young Mr.. Hoover Of the new school
of crime detection has no entangling
alliances. Among his friends he is
known to be as clean as a hounds
tooth. He looks at detective work
from new angle. He sees the
evidence side. Instead Of merely get
ting the goods" he is concerned with
making the goods" stick in a court
of law.
And with all his scarcity OF years
and legal training ne Is no novice at
the detecting game. He went into
the Department of Justice under
Mitchell Palmer just about the time
that Mr.. Palmer's house was being
blown up here in Washington by the
reds" and the whole country was
accusing the Wilson Attorney General
OF seeing red things at night.
Mr.. Hoover found there was some
thing in the red" business after all,
for IL was he who worked up the
cases and obtained the deportation
of the leading reds of their day
Emma Goldman, Alex. Berkman and
Ludwig Martens, the last the rep
resentative of the Bolsheviks Hoover
gave Goldman and Berkman hard
ride. Even the Soviets cast them
out OF Russia. Nobody wanted the
fine duo after Hoover got through
with them.
Men No Longer saoop Around.
AS an assistant to Burns, young
Hoover got some education in the arts
of the old school But most OF these
he is casting aside. He is striking
out along new and clean lines. He is
not going on any wild goose chases.
He is not going TO have men shopping
around the Offices of Senator'S and
Representatives He is going to try
to do his Government work in a big
and legitimate way.
Perhaps that sort OF thing Is too
idealistic. Perhaps the old third de-
gree style will come back. But any
way, we shall see.
Hoover is a homebred here in
Washington. He was High School
Cadet, and used to march to the tunes
of Sousa's famous march dedicated to
these boys. He is also in the mill
tary intelligence division of the Off
GERS Reserve Corps: Furthermore. he
plays golf. Whoever could picture
Old Sleuth doing that?

Gov Davis charged that DR.. Lind

ton for temporary injunction against

of Party Support.

An insurgent Republican proposal
for a new investigation, this time
directed against an alleged power
trust" led to a falling out in the

Harrison said it was the presence of
such ''reactionaries'' Senator Bruce

the collapse of the Davis campaign.
and the Maryland Senator replied
that if tbs Democrats had been less
partisan and marrow" in their con-
duct of last sessions senatorial in
designations the country would not
have temporarily lost confidence in
the party.
Action Is Delayed.
The power trust" invests cation was

If SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been found TO
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions. rash, PIN.

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 "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, say well-known drug
gists here, because it dsrkens the hair
so naturally and evenly that no n can
tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after n or w ap,,
~plications the gray hair vanishes and
your locks become luxuriantly dark ana
beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark
handsome hair and your youthful ae'
pearance within a few days.

How to Address Mail

To insure delivery, all mail matter
should be legibly addressed, and
should contain the street address, or
if on a rural route the box and route
number.
All mail matter should bear the
sender's nam and address. Twelve
million letters annually are undeliv-
cradle and can not be returned to
the sender because of lack of return
address. Where letter do not bear the
sender's name and address and this
information is disclosed on opening
the letter, a fee of 8 cents is charg-
ed for the return to the sender.
For every working day during the
month of January, 134.615 undeliv-
cradle letters were sent to the dead
letter office. This is at the rate OF
$500 per month and 100000 a
year. The failure of this great vol
ume of letters to reach the people
for whom intended is due wholly to
the failure of the public to supply
correct, legible and complete ad-
dresses.
1t is of the utmost Importance
where there is a change Of address
that a forwarding order be filed In
the ~postoffice. This insures the
prompt forwarding of mail, which
otherwise is delayed and eventually
be treated as dead.
Thousands of letters reach the
dead letter office which could have
: been delivered had proper forwardinc
! instructions been filed.
