THE GOLDEN COCOON"
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

A woman who has gained hap piness only after suffering and humiliation, who has come from poverty to luxury, is faced with the question of whether to ruin her husbands career and keep her happiness, or give up every thing that his political interests may not suffer. That is the theme of "The Golden Cocoon" the Warner Bros. Classic of the Screen, which will open tonight at the Liberty.
 The Warmers chose Helene Chadwick for the role of Mollie Shannon. the girl who comes from a small Texan town to wealth in big city and who makes the sacrifice of her happiness for her husband. Miss Chadwick is said to have scored triumph in the role.
 Huntly Gordon plays Gregory Cochran, governor of Texas, who marries the grubby little cater pillar and makes it possible for her to burst the golden cocoon and emerge beautiful butterfly. Richard Tucker and Frank Cam peau are the villains. Also in the

TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss
 and Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just n few ap- plications will prove a revelation If your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though. is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use for only 75 cents. This is the old time recipe improved by the ad- dit.on of other ingredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to re- tain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound, no one can tell, because it does 1t so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and luxuriant. adv.

GIRLS LOSE TO BOYS IN GAMES
 OF BASKETBALL

In spite of having to play girls rules" both the high school quin- tet and the Eighth grade five were able to win from the high school girls first and second teams, respectively, by good mar gins in the double header contest played in the natatorium here last night.
 Although accordingly tanner, the play was none the less slow in either game and provided plenty of interest for the fair sized crowd of spectators which was present.
 H. s. Boys 25; H. s. Girls 10
 The contest between the high school boys and girls first team was fast and close during the first half of the game and it looked as though there was going to be a joke on the boys. May Fraser was the first to score a few min utes after the play started and then she scored another shortly after with one from the 17-foot line. These were the only points made in the first quarter, which ended 4 to for the girls. At the opening of the second quar- ter. M. Fraser again started the ball rolling toward the basket for score. Up to this point the boys had failed in many attempts to score. Then, on toss-up, Lawrence Carlson managed to bat the sphere into the basket, break ing the ice. Martin caged three in rapid succession and the boys led at half time by to 6. Dur ing the remainder the boys con verted more freely, with Martin high pointer for his team and M. Fraser making all the points for her team.

FOzARD HEAD or IN TIE IRRATIONAL. BRIDGE CONCERN
Detroit River Bridge to Be Ready Ahead of Time
 Alaskan Tn Charge

A beautifully illustrated mono, graph, telling of the progress of the construction, plans and his tory of the Ambassador Bridge that is being built over the De troit River between Detroit, Michigan. and Sandwich. Ontario. by the Detroit international Bridge Company and the Cana dian Transit Company. contains the announcement that the bridge will be opened for traffic in the late fall of 1929 instead of August 16, 1880, as originally intended and as contracts called for. The circumstance that work has prog ressed faster than was expected and that the bridge will be com pleted ten months ahead of time is the occasion for issuing the monograph.
 Alaskans like to think that this fast and efficient work is the re- suit of the connection of James l.. Fozard with the building com panies. MT. Fozard is vic e-presi- dent and general manager of the Detroit International Bridge Com pany and secretary-treasurer and director of the Canadian Transit Company.
 TLn A ,,,l a 1lpi1nn will cost $25. 100000 when completed and contain the longest span Of any suspension bridge in the world. The principal span will be 152 feet above the surface of Detroit River and 1850 feet in length. These dimensions are larger than those of the Brooklyn Bridge, which is 135 feet above the water with a span 1,595 feet in length, or than those of the Philadelphia Camden bridge, 135 feet above the water and a span of 1,750 feet in length. The Am bassador Bridge will have no railroad tracks but will be for automobiles and foot passengers. There will be a single roadway AT feet in width and sidewalk eight feet wide. The main tow CTS will be the heighth of a 22- story building with IA stories un- der ground and eight stories above. The bridge structure will be 7,40O feet in length and from entrance to exit the distance. is 5000 feet.
 a. Actual construction was begul May 7, 1927, shortly after the De. troit International Bridge Com pany was organized and took over sthe American Transit Company and procured all of the stock of tthe Canadian Transit Company @'sTlfe two companies have identi cal boards of directors.
 The authorization for the con struction of the, Ambassador Bridge is based upon an act of congress approved March 1. 1921 and an act Of the Canadian Parlia. ment, approved May 3. 1921. The rights under these, acts were ac quired by the building company early last year.
