TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur u Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using It
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as We are live
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
net, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" It is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover It has
been applied. Simply moisten youI
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through youEhair, taking small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphul
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, It also produces that soft lustrC
and appearance of abundance which i
so attractive.

threatened to break up in disagree
ment, he proposed a solution which
stated that every state have an equal
number Of senators and that repre-
sentation in the house would be fig
ured according to the population Of
the states. He strongly urged that
the president should serve without
salary, considering the honor Of the
office sufficient pay. There was much
in the Constitution which he did not
like but he thought it should be
adopted and urged that the other
members as wei, overlook their dis
likes and sign. Finally thirty-nine
delegates signed the Constitution
which then went to the states for
ratification. He wrote a speech and
because he was 80 weak he had his
colleague give it for him. One man
said: ct was this speech which gave
us the Constitution" Franklin is
more responsible than any other man
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
Chancellor James Kent, one Of the
best authorities on American law,
said: Alexander Hamilton surpassed
all his contemporaries in his exertion
to create, recommend, adopt and de-
fend the Constitution The principal
reason that Alexander Hamilton WIS
spoken of as one Of the great creators
IOf the Constitution was because Of
his intense belief in the necessity Of
a strong union and well organized
general government. After the Con-
ventiOn he was most influential in
getting the states to ratify the con
stitution.
On September II, 1887, the Con.
vention accomplished the task of es
tablishing a stable government for
respondent nation.

D. A. R. CONTEST

Writing upon Important Makers
of the Constitution" Patty Patten
took third honOrs in the recent D. A.

Constitution. Miss Patterns handling
Of her subject demonstrates an I'M
usually complete knowledge of the
character and activities of the per-
sons who had most to do with the
framing of our Constitution, and the
serious problems with which they
had to contend. Her essay follows:
On May 25, 1887, in the state house
in Philadelphia a body Of about forty
or fifty men began the work which
made a Constitution that has lasted
for almost two centuries. George
Washington, Benjamin Franklin and
Alexander Hamilton were leading
characters at the Convention. Thorn
as Jefferson was an influential man
although absent in France at the
time.
Washington was voted unanimously
to be president of the Convention, be-
cause Of his outstanding personality,
character and wisdom. He sympa-
thized with the people and wanted 20
establish a firm government for them.
This is shown by what Monroe said
Of him in a letter to Jefferson: "Be
assured Washington's influence car
ried this government" There were
two things which he believed to be
very necessary for the well-being and
good government of the public Affairs
These were, greater powers to con-
! gTess, and mOr responsibility and
! permanency in the executive bodies
The Convention carried these tive
points into effect. When he became
president he expressed his %apprecia.

The American Ship Canal

near Albany; third, the construction
Of a canal between Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario on the American side.
The total cost Of construction has
been estimated by army engineers at
$685., 100000 for a 21-foot channel
and $6S1,00O, 900 for a 25-fOOt chan
mel.
Estimates as to the annual cost Of
operation and maintenance are widely
divergent, the New York state super
intendent Of public works having plac-
ed the probable expense at $780,
600 a year, while other estimates
range as high as $30,00O,0 900 annually.
Careful and impartial investigation
would doubtless result in much closer
agreement on this essential point.
Claims for Proposed Canal
The principal advantage claimed
for the canal is that it would, in eff
feet, "make every lake port an ocean
pcTt" by enabling ocean-going ships
to proceed directly to shipping points
on the Great lakes. It IS clear, the
Survey says, that the elimination Of
a loa6s2g and unloading process at
the seabOard would be equivalent to
a saving Of many miles in actual dis
lance. With respect to the ~transpor-
tatiOn Of commodities not entering
into foreign trade, the canal would
offer two advantages over the pres
emit barge route: It would have a
larger capacity, and It would accom-.
mOdate vessels Of suitable size and
design for use on ether waterways.
Canal construction Of any sort has
been strenuously opposed by thOs,
who believe that the development o.
railway service has rendered canals
ia general obsolete. There IS NJ
doubt that the trend ia most coun.
tries has been away from canal trans.
portation. It Is especially signaiean.
that the greatest decline III the usI
Of canals took place Ia the thir,
quarter of the nineteenth century
when railroad construction was pro
ceeding most rapidly. In some Euro

NEEDED Rain FALLS IN DRY AREAS;
CROP PROSPECTS MUCH IMPROVED

HELENA.-What appears to have
been a fairly general rain over the
dry area in east central Montana is
noted in reports from Rosebud,

counties received by the state division
of publicity, through the county
agents of the extension service. All
Of the other reporting counties, ex-
cepting POndera and Flathead, also

week ended May 80.
The new moisture in east central
Montana for the week exceeded one
inch at Miles City and two inches at
Glendive; Prairie county reporting up
wards of an inch and Richland better
than an inch average for the entire
county. While in this area earlier
dry weather damage, especially to
winter wheat, has reduced the pros
pect to a fair one, the rains will
greatly benefit late crops and grass
and improve the condition of spring
grain, as we'll as relieving the grass

In the rest of the state conditions

reports a rapid growth of small
grains, grass and inter-planted crops
and northern Montana east to the Da-
Rcta line has had growing conditions

ASK MELLON TO
OFFER BOULDER
FINANCING PLAN

WASHINGTON Secretary Mel
lon has been requested by the
house irrigation committee to draft
a new bill embodying the treasury's
plan for financing construction of
the Boulder Canyon development
on the Colorado river.
The request was made by Chair
man Smith, following the commit
tees receipt of a letter from the
treasury secretary in which the
plan of finance, as written in the
new Swing-J ohnsOn bill, was dis
approved.
The Swing-Johnson bill would
provide for a $125, 100000 bond is
sue, to be retired from revenues
of the Boulder Canyon project.
The treasury secretary in this let
ter expressed preference for plan
by which private capital would
finance the project and held that
if congress did decide on govern
ment construction of the works,
| the financing should not be done
through a federal bond issue, but
| in the manner in which the treas
ury ordinarily finances such gov
ernment work.
This was held by some commit
tee members to mean that the
treasury desired that congress
simply appropriate the necessary
| funds, and leave the details of the
| financing to the treasury. The
fact that it is intended to retire
the proposed bond issue from rev.
enues from the project, the secre-
tary informed the committee, does
not make the financing any easier

Eldridge Urges Need
OF Enlarged Power in
Permits Revocation

Traffic Director NJ: o. Eldridge
today expressed q few of his opin-
ions on Representative Thomas L.
Blanton's bill to enlarge his powers,
particularly in respect to authority
to revoke permits.
Although the bill in question is
the second measure which has come
up for consideration many revisions
have been made so that it will
agree with the views of the SUBJ
committee on traffic. One of the
changes was to leave out the Sec
ton providing the right of appeal
from Eldridge's decision in the re-
vocation OF permits.
Eldrtdge pointed out that anyone
who had a permit revoked was
entirely within his right TO go to
court TO get it back He. did not
agree that Inconvenience and cost
would make the procedure almost
prohibitive
He said that he should certainly
have the right to suspend permits
when the owners are waiting trial
or when other circumstances war
rant this action. He points TO the
four patients in st. EliZabeth's
Hospital for the Insane who have
permits which cannot be taken
away from them, as concrete
examples of the need for the extern
sion Of authority.

POLICE DOUB 7
THEFT STORY

Little credence is placed by the
Washington police in the story Of
Fred Mcdonnell, who has been at
the Emergency Hospital for almost
two months suffering with amnesia
that he was drugged and robbed
at a downtown hotel of $4,000 on
January 29
In a semi-lucid interval last Sun
day he told hospital authorities of
the alleged $4,000 robbery. They
in turn, notified the police.
Following a rigid investigation Of
the mans claim by Headquarters
Detectives Scrivener and Kelly,
they reported to Inspector Pratt.
chief of detectives today that thel z
was no evidence that Mcdonnell
was ever robbed in Washington.
Police here are now working on
the theory that Mcdonnell may
have been an inmate Of some State
institution for persons suffering
from mental disorders, and left
there without permission, coming
to Washington.
While examining McDonnell's
effects it was ascertained that he
had his name written on his under
wear, but in addition the initials
rs. S. D." in large letters were
also printed on some of his under
shirts. 1t is thought the letters
may refer to some state SAM
tariurn for Demented" persons.
Pictures Of Mcdonnell will be
sent to such institutions throughout
the country in an effort to estab-
lish his identity.

was made today at the regular
meeting of the House District
Committee.

ct a special meeting last Friday
Called Bad Precedent
The request to recall the bill
was made as a result of a charge
by George W. Offutt, of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. that
the new license provisions set a
vicious precedent to the States.
Mr.. Offutt told the committee
that the use Of fees for operators
permits as a means of raising reve-
nue. is dangerous and should not
be considered. The bill provides an
annual fee of one dollar for opera
tors permits, to be used for COM
pletion of the, traffic light system
in the District
Mr.. Offutt also opposed section
OF the bill which would give the
traffic director the power to revoke
or suspend licenses without court
action
Bill Ont Of Their Hands
Under the law. Mr.. Offutt ex-
planned, there can be no legal
appeal from the decision of admin.
istrative officials, and the courts
would be powerIess to restore per-
mits which might have been un-
justly withdrawn.
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton of Texas, explained that the
District Committee had lost control
over the bill when it was reported
to the House. and that no change
could be made except by committee
amendment offered from the floor.
The proposed amendments Of
