Easy to Darker
Your Gray Hair


When you darlken 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 addition
of other ingredients called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with 1t and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at q
time. BY morning all gray hair dis
appears, and. after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, Is a sign OF old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.-Adv.

In view of the stand taken by the
Federation, it seems improbable that
the general council will accept the
Reds plan for a world conference.
It could hardly walk into the trap
set by the Reds if it has any regard
for the facts on the Communist tao
tics of disruption and destruction
which it has itself so recently re-
vealed.
With the coming of another year,
it would be well if every citizen Of
the United States would swear new
allegiance to the principles of volun-
tary action enunciated by Samuel
Gompers at the last American FEEDER
alton Of Labor convention over which
he presided.
81 want to urge devotion to the fun
damentals of human liberty-the
principles Of voluntaFism," said Mr..
Gompers. ''No lasting gain has ever
come from compulsion. If we seek
to force, we but tear apart that which,
united, is invincible."
There is too much intolerance, too
much reliance upon force in the Unit
ed States. Of recent years there has
been an alarming growth of the mob
spirit, Of the spirit which would deny
minority the right to hold opinions
at variance with the majority. If the
nation is to remain true to the prin-
ciples of liberty on which it was
founded, there must be a revival of
the spirit Of freedom and tolerance.
Mr.. Gompers during his whole life,
stood for the principle of voluntary
action and sensed the dangers of com
pulsion. His advice, if taken to heart
would make the United States a bet
ter and happier nation.

CoMRADE STOYANOY, a Commun-
- list, member Of the Bulgarian par
lament comrade whose unrelenting
and unwearied fight against the re-
gime Of bloody violence was brought
to an end two months ago by his
being shot down in the streets Of
Sofia, sent to the International Red
Aid in the spring of last year the diary
Of one of zankov's hangmen, who had
ended his prolonged and bloody
work" by suicide.
In the letter accompanying the diary
Comrade Stoyanov wrote, that the
number and the names of the victims
of the Zankov terror cannot be as
certained, that this terror is indie
scribable, as human language lacks
the words with which to describe the
sufferings of the blood-soaked coun-
try and that, therefore, this task must
be left to the words Of the hang
man." whose diary provides some
sketches of the white terror carried on
by the Bulgarian government.
THIS diary is the unique confession
\ of Bulgarian officer, former So
cial democrat, who at the end of 1923,
was the leader of punitive expedi-
tioon which went from place to place
carrying fire and bloodshed and prac-
ticing innumerable acts of violence.
At time when the Zankov agents
are fabricating documents of the
Comintern and of the Soviet govern
ment," at a time when the capitalist
press is endeavoring to demonstrate
the hand of Moscow in the Bulgarian
events, it is very opportune to turn
over the gruesome pages of the con-
fession of hangman and to read the
bloody records Of an eyewitness of
the acts of the white terror and to
convince oneself that the avenging
explosion of the internal machine was
an outbreak of desperation, which has

bones. One has fallen into the
grave. Another one, another and
yet another. Still living they are
thrown into the grave with it's walls
Of damp black earth. Dozens Of spade
fuls of earth are thrown over them,
and thru the noise Of the falling clods
there rises the faint groaning OF men
in their death agony: stop, am still
alive! ~.
Silence reigns over the country.
And even the mothers, who on Satur-
day visit the graves of their sons who
have been hung, shot or had the flesh
torn off them, silently weep. without
speaking word, for the invisible, but
all-seeing gendarme follows on their
heels"
THE above is from letter from a
Bulgarian student, who is neither
member of the Communist Party nor
OF the Young Communist League, to a
colleague who is studying at the Ber-
lin university.
I'm September, 1928, all lights in the
villages were out. A darkness and
stiffness as Of the grave reigned over
the fields of Bulgaria.
Strike light grandmother; Just a
light so that can see to change my

has escaped from the prison Of Stara
zagora, of an old peasant woman.
Have you gone mad?" exclaims the
old woman in reply, her whole body
trembling. "And what about the
guerilla? They will be here in a min
ute. They will sweep down like fierce
vultures."
THE guerilla is zankov's band for

into the wells for being behind in
paying their taxes, who rape young
women. who, in an intoxicated condi-

on one point, an old woman. She came
up to the table, began to tremble, and
her sobs filed the room. She bowed
to the ground and began with groans
to beg that the corpses Of her two
young sons who had been executed a
week before might be given up.
One insuf1ciently acquainted with
the exercise Of the white terror by the
Bulgarian government could easily as
sumo that this is only directed with
all its rigor against the Communist
Party, against the working masses and
against the revolutionary active peas
ants. The language of the documents
tells somewhat different story. Facts
and figures bear witness that the
terror in the country under the rule
Of Zankov has reached a point of
blind, pitiless and bestial cruelty,
where the hangmen can no longer
distinguish the active opponents from
the masses of the workers, and class
hate knows no limits.
