''KnowIedge
Is P Power .
Most Of us are familiar with
that classic quotation, but how
many of us are really able to grasp
it's full significance? And those of
us who do ponder it are all too apt
to translate the term Power" into
dollars and cents and overlook it's
greater meanings.
Briefly, the Power which, comes
of knowledge is triune. First, the
Power over the forces and re-
sources of Nature. Second, Power
to command oneself. Third, the
power to command ones fellow
men. A trinity of Powers which
raise man to the dignity for which
he was obviously destined.
And Education is the MEANS to
knowledge whereof comes Power.
We underscore that word means
because, in this hurrying, CONNER
cial age, when the habits of media
ton and contemplation have so far
fallen from us, we are prone to re-
gard Education as the End, rather
than the Means. We go to schools
and colleges and universities to
learn What to Think instead of
How to Think-and the result is
single tracked mechanical minds.
Youth is the time for broadening
the mind; maturity the time for
narrowing it into channels of spe-
cialization. It is an irrefragible
fact that a good, general, basic ed
ucation is the required foundation
for genuine success in any Line of
endeavor. When this has been &C
quired, vocational training is in
order.

Thousands Complain That e.

Thousands Of protests have been
received by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover against operation OF super.
power radio stations on the ground
they viii destroy the efficiency Of
local broadcasters, 1t was learned
at the Department Of Commerce to.
day.
Hoover declared the department
would not permit the operation Of
super power stations in such way
as to destroy the value Of the
smaller broadcasters.
It was explained that the nation.
al radio conference had recommend.
ed operation OF super-power sta
tons on an experimental basis and
under strict Government control.
This recommendation win be car.
rted out by the department, cfarg
ed with control OF radio activities.
General reaction to the work
Of the radio conference has been
favorable" Hoover said today. "As
soon as possible the technical de.
tails Of the recommendations will
be put into effect"
Hoover attributed the protests
against super.power to q miscon.
ception Of what the radio confer
ence recommended and to q, lack
Of knowledge as to how the sta
tons Of this character viii be
operated.

CHAPPED SKIN MADE
LOVELY OVERNIGHT
$50 bOnny and Sweet, so fully COM
pLete,
She steals our affections GUay,
man."
Burns.

II it were not for the natural
oils which the skin gets from your
system, you couldn't endure the
chapped. condition which would re-
suit from exposing It to raw winds.
But most men and women un.
consciously take away those oils
from the skin when they wash
with soap and water right along,
and never think Of helping to put
them back.
There is only one right way TO
keep the skin smooth and soft,
without making it too greasy. Just
rub q thin film Of the cold cream,
which bears the well-known Black
and White label, into the skin each
night, It is prepared especially to
work into the pores, glands and tiny
crevices to supply the oils they
must have to keep the skin active
and lovely.
Your first experience with Black
and White Cold Cream will be so
delightful that you will never be
without 1T. It makes the skin so
smooth, soft and good to look at.

Match IN Which Youth

Police today were investigating
the schoolboy play duel that re.
suited In severe injuries to Alfred
Tugman, seventsen-yehr-old pupil OF
Central High School, when he
caught the tip OF a naked sword
above his eye while play-fighting
with John Michigan, a fellow stu.

In falling after he was cut with
the sword. Tugman struck his head
against the pavement and suffered
q slight concuEsion. He was ire

where It was not believed the In
jurieS would be fatal.
The .play-duel was fought during
the afternoon recess in front OF q

Michigan, who ID q good. fencer,
and Tugman, after inspecting q
brace OF swords belonging to
Richard Scheck, proprietor OF the
store. struck up fighting positions
with the weapons.
Draws Sword to Head
According to Michigan. he made
a thrust, low and to the side, at
Tugman, who. in an attempt to
parry the stroke, brought Meiligan's
blade into his head instead Of ward
ing It off.
The naked point Of the weapon
caught his opponent just to the
right Of his right eye, Michigan
said. and he fell heavily to the
ground.
Michigan was stricken with grief
at the serious outcome Of the play.
He accompanied his companion to
the hospital and remained there
with him until late last night.
Tugman's parents said today they
did not hold young Michigan to
blame for the accident.
1T is terribly unfortunate" they
said but we can blame no one
unless It be, the man that allowed
the boys to play with the swords"
Stephen e. Kramer, principal OF
Central High School, declared today
that he had not been aware that
any naked swords were being used
by the boys in their play.
Fencing at School
Fencing was taken up by. the
boys Of the school last year, he said,
but no bare blades were ever
brought into the buildings.
Michigan, he said, was an expert

Says Jad Salts Relieves Ex-

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments,
the same as food left in the open
air, says a noted authority. He
also tells US that Indigestion is
caused by Hyperacidity meaning
there is an excess OF hydrochloric
acid in the stomach which pre-.
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach, form.

| initiate the stomach. Then we feel
q heavy, lumpy misery in the chest:
we belch up gas; we eructate sour
food or have heartburn, flatulence,
| Water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces Of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
It while It is effervescing, and fur
thermore, to continue this for a
week. While relief often follows
the first dose, it is important to
help neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas.making mass. start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and r.
made from the acid of grapes and

disorders with excellent results.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand.
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out.of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for. a bottle
Of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous
old preparation, improved by the
addition Of other ingredients, which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the
hair
Well-known druggists say it darn.
ems the hair so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
piled. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking . one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an.
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
