' AN OLD RECIPE

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.

Revoke the Licenses !

Last year the Long Island Railroad
Co. suffered loss of one broken grade
crossing gate daily, on the average,
caused by reckless motorists smash
ing through the barriers to cross the
tracks ahead of the trains. Despite
warnings, pleas and fatalities this rec
ord is continuing the present year.
Motor drivers are still banging into
the gates in their impatience to get
ahead Many of them are going to
hospitals, some to the mortuaries.
Some are getting over without injury
save to the radiators and tenders Of
their machines.
Any motorist who deliberately
smashes through a barrier that is
erected to save him from possible
death is a menace to public security
He should be barred from the road
by the cancellation Of his license. 1t is
stated that out of one hundred and
seventy-three revocations Of licenses
among residents of the metropolitan
district twenty-five were for cases of
reckless driving of this character
There is no reason why there should
not be one a day, to keep pace with
the record Of gate smashing.
Watch should be kept at these
places to note the license numbers of
drivers who push across the tracks
when the warnings are set to denote
the approach of trains. Every driver
who ignores the signs and enters the
danger zone should be rated as unfit
to use the roads and deprived of his
license. This should be done in all the
States. The streets and roads of this
country are at present too full of fools
at the wheel. Some of the road con-
gestion may be relieved by the revoca-
ton Of permits.

The kestorer of the Forum.

A brief CablegTam from Rome an

the Forum viii perhaps not feel a
sense of personal loss, for DR. Boni
was not to them an individuality. Yet
his works were in evidence for their
enjoyment and ediication.
The exca vations in the Roman
Forum were not of the character of
the explorations in Egypt and Assyria.
The period of time elapsing since the
structures were intact and in use was
not great. as time runs in history A
mere 1000 years, or a little more, had
passed since the Forum was the scene
Of active Roman life. when Dr. Boni
undertook his researches.
The task in the Roman excavations
and restorations was to preserve the
greatest number Of relics. in their most
perfect form. Successive demolitions
by enterprising iconoclasts who sought
building materials had destroyed much
irreplaceably, DR.. Boni's work was to
bring into view the maximum of the
ruins, and to establish their true rela-
1ionship
The visitor TO the Forum is at first
disappointed, perhaps, at its apparent
formlessness. There is no established
sequence. Everything seems con
densed as well as wrecked. Gradually
the meaning of the whole comes TO
focus in the mind. the overlaying of
civilizations, the succession of enter
prises. the persistence of location.
Here was the civic center Of the capi-
tai of the Roman Empire for centuries.

Money spent on vacation mounts into
hundreds of millions, but generally
people get something for their money.
They do not always get enough for
their money, but they get some vaca-
ton, change of scene, meet people
they never saw before, play golf on
strange courses, catch fish, get sun
burnt and enjoy thrills about which
they can talk to the neighbors until
next vacation time comes near.
In "the old days" there were men
who said they never took a vacation
They did not say it with shame. but
as a boast. They thought it a merit
to stick TO their tools or shop till the
end of life. Mistaken men! They are
all dead. They missed many a good
time and might have lived longer.
Men, their wives and children, would
not now forego the joys and the trials
of vacation. Most men feel that the
vacation term is too short, and as the
years pass and prosperity increases
men may give less time TO work and
more to play.

Vacation.

Mid-July is about the peak OF the
rest season. Some hold that August is
the busiest month in the vacation bust
ness and the dullest in other forms of
business, but authorities differ on this
question. as on all others. There are
no statistics at hand, and though one
had tables of statistics some expert
would come along, point the finger of
scorn at the figures and say they are
not TO be trusted. Whether mid-July
or August is peak time for vacation
business and low tide for other forms
of business, it is plain that a great
many of our people are out of town.
The fashion of going to the country
during the heated term" to escape

DarroW's Blunder.

Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for
Scopes in the Dayton evolution"
trial, has committed a tactical blunder
at the beginning of the case, in pro
testing the opening of court with
prayer. He has b. this move alienated
sympathy that might otherwise have
been felt for his cause, for ii has had
the effect of emphasizing the religious
issue. whereas the chief question in
volved in the case rs a strictly legal
one.
The main question at Dayton is
whether the State can rightfully pro-
scribe a subject OF instruction from
the curriculum of the public educa.
tional system, not whether men de-
scended from lower animal order or
whether religion should be observed
in the conduct of judicial procedure

court is virtually certain to be against

who is at the bar. 1t can reasonably
answer only that he has violated the
State statute. In another court will
be argued and decided the question of
whether the State had the right to
adopt such a statute.
To protest the delivery of prayer at
the opening of court was to create
prejudice against counsel and de-
fendant. 1t is the custom of that
court. 1t is in keeping with the senti-
ment and belief of the people of that
community. To argue that prayer es-
tablished an ''unfavorable atmosphere
of religion" was TO affront the com
munity as well as to becloud the real
issue. Prayer has never harmed any
one or any cause. Darrow's protest
against it exposes him to the charge
of narrowness and bigotry that he
has brought against his chief oppo-
nent. Bryan.

There is surprisingly little popular

everywhere is jubilant, with refer

the end of July, he looks forward to
another bumper year.
Automobile traffic problems push
the crops closely as a theme of popu-

( the sales of cars are mounting by
leaps and bounds. The motor busi-

A Billion Trade Balance

trade balance in favor of the
United States of S1,042 ,6SI,49 is re-
ported by the Department Of Com
merce for the fiscal year just ended.
This means that the people Of this
country sold over a billion dollars
worth mC~s of goods than they bought
from abroad This is the highest rec
ord of export excess since 1912
when the balance was 81 3,077, ,4S1.
During and Immediately following
the war the American outflow of goods
greatly exceeded the inflow 1t was
an unusual phenomenon, attributable
to the arrangement of foreign indus
tries and the concentration Of the en-
ergies of other nations upon the bust
ness OF campaigning. During 1890
the American balance was in excess
of 0,00o,000. During 192o-21 it
dropped slightly. to S2,S62 600, 900
Then it fell to S1.163. or. .4S1 in 1922,
and when the next year it dropped to
Sl75, ,774 40S it appeared as If the tide
had set definitely for quick return to
W
was buying more than it sold. But
the next year, 1923.24. the favorable
balance rose to S757.145.472. and now
it has once more reached and passed
the billion mark.
There is no reason why the United
States should not continue to com
mand the world markets, if American
manufacturers viii study the needs
and preferences of foreign buyers.
For everything this country produces
there is a demand abroad. Its sur
plus suffices to meet that demand if
requirements are suited. In the past
the producers of merchandise in this
country have not adequately adapted
themselves TO the foreign trade. 1t
has, however, been brought home to
them that they must suit the require
ments of the foreign purchaser in
terms of weights and measures, in
packing, marking and labelling.
AS Europe regains industrial health
the American trade supremacy win be
challenged. The world market plays
no favorites. The successful exporter
must win through merit, cheapness
and accommodation. Much has been
learned proftably by the American
producer and shipper in the course of
these years of trade balance in their
favor, and there is a satisfying pros
pect that these lessons will continue
to be applied to secure for the United
States lasting advantage in the, trade
marts over seas.

Marginal Appropriations.

Effort will be made by the District
Commissioners to secure from Con
gress a differential margin of cost of
school constructions in the writing of
appropriations. y case Immediately
at hand illustrates the need of an al.
lowance in the cost limits placed by
the legislature upon the authoriza-
tions. The sum of $40 900 was grant
ed for a new school at Manor Park.
When bids were opened for this work
it was found that the lowest tender
vas $4,000 higher than the appropria-
ton limit. The Commissioners must
either wait for an additional appro-
priation or modify the plans for the
construction, to bring the cost within
the allowance. In the one case there
will be a long delay, and in the other
a less commodious building.
This is not an unusual experience.
Schoolhouses provided for in appro-
priation bills have often been delayed
because of the excess of bids over
allotments of funds. Indeed, much of
the present school congestion is due
to these delays in the past. 1t has
often happened that a schoolhouse
has not been completed within three
years of the date of the appropriation.
The present practice is to lay before
Congress estimates for certain school
constructions. The appropriations
committees usually cut down the list
and also cut down the estimate of
cost, making fewer appropriations and
smaller in individual allotments than
the Commissioners have requested. BY
the time the appropriations are avail
able nine or even twelve months have
elapsed since the original estimates
were made. A longer time has passed
when the bids are received. In that
interval the conditions in the building
market have changed. Prices, accord
ing to the trend during the past dec
ade or more, have risen. An estimate
made in July, 1924, is likely to be
smaller than the lowest bid received
in July, 1925.
Lacking any authority to contract
for work in excess of appropriation,
the Commissioners must either change
the specifications or postpone con-
struction. They cannot make a con
tract contingent upon a deficiency ap-
preparation. But if, as they now pro-
pose, Congress were to grant a differ
entail margin, to meet changes due TO
market conditions, they can go ahead
with the work and prevent loss of
time, which means addition to the
school congestion.
What is needed is a system of maxi
mum minimum appropriations for pub
lie works that cannot be advertised
and contracted for Immediately upon
the granting of authorization. That
is to be the proposal Of the Commis-
sioners, and it is to be hoped that it
viii be recognized as a sensible, bust
nesslike plan to prevent further de
lays and the construction of made
quate structures.
