AN OLD RECIPE 10 DARKEN HAIR
Sage lea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair
 Dark and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the nat ural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked CT gray Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. 1" You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, for only 75 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and even- ly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. adv

Old Age and Dependency.
lNeW York Times. ]

A study conducted by the Industrial Welfare Department cf the National Civic Federation sharply challenges the popular belief that 90 per cent of all persons the age of 65 are dependents One can only wonder at the popu- larity Of a belief that is patenty contradicted by ordinary observation and experience. lower figure than 90 per cent for aged dependency, but still q considerable figure. has sometimes been put forward by thrift institutions. But even here there has been exaggeration. The Civic Federation Inquiry, the basis of nearly 15,000 cases in New York New Jersey, Pennsylvan a and Connecticut. estimates the number of depend ents between 20 and 25 per cent. of people oyar G. Only ? per cent were the objects of public CT private charity The rest supported within the family.
 For the population of the United States as a whole the dependency rate among aged people is considerably lower than the indicated 20 to 25 per cent. The studied were nearly all in the large cities. Among the agricultural population of the country, which is just about one-half of the total property ownership is more widely distributed than in the towns. The urban workman at 65 may may not own his home and may or may not control other property. Home ownership among the farming population lis much common. In 1920 the persons oVef 65 were about 5.000000 in a population Of l05- 900 o00 Today they would be about 5,50o0o0. By the aseertained percentage this would give Jus something like 1.250.000 dependents The as certained ratio of destitution would give us about 120,000 old people dependent on outside charity
 Not only the number aef agedn dependents but the quality of that status needs 5exanination The word dependency. used in social welfare work means a recipient of charity. In ordinary usage the word does not apply to the aged father and mother who receive man enanee from their children It is arguable that aged people should not be obliged to look for support even to their own The desire for independence in old age is widespread and quite compatible with affection for offspring Yet, viewed as a social problem family dependency among the old must be defined in accordance with the facts. The gospel of ndividualism has not gone very far in undermining the claims of old age upon it's own flesh and blood Nor is this condition entirely non economic The old mother about the house I in many cases probably renders enough service l to her married son daughter to justify her being regarded as engaged in gainfu occu- patton.

The Cars and the Customers.
(Boston News Bureau. )

That there will be about five autos made and sold in 1928 as against three in l927-roughly 5 900 900 contrasted with 3,000,O00,--finds It's best warrant in the trade news of the opening days of the year. That news has spread over many display pages. It has contained really sensational tidings-quite apart from the custom ary advertising use of the adjective.
 That conjunction of competitive price reduc tions with equally striking assurances of a much improved commodity means in essence that the motor industry has taken long stride forward quite suddenly. It is very general, almost uniform performances moving forward in alignment pretty much abreast, Any large maker who thought to stay content with past laurels will abruptly find himself a laggard.
 Hence a significance, now blazoned in these impressive advertisements. emerges Mr. Ford has proved himself second time pioneer. For the rest of the industry was not mapping when he chose 1927 the year of radical break with the past Those months of lull have now fruited all round The harvest will glisten this afternoon and this evening in the great New York Auto Show. This year will mark an auto renaissance.
 It does mean wider choice. but also bigger lure, for the potential customer II does mean competition, yet not necessarily ruination for any efficient producer. It may spell further impuse--as seemingly in the ar--toward mergers. as was the case in the evolution of other industries In fact motordom has already gone a long way that road when the reduc- ton in number of makes from the early days l is kept in mind.
 I Today that industry offers vastly enlarged need of value-from beauty to stamina and speed l in this sudden new stage of it's growth. And Il therein may lie the magic secret of it's own success in banishing of the 'saturation' bogey. The motor is made more irresistible I as well as useful and obtainable.
 I With employment and wages keeping high, and this industry helping keep them highland
 with 'installment buying under scientific con I trol attesed a boon not evil, what deter ring power has the thought of a few hundred dollars, spread months, and with the pur- Il chased service spread over years, to keep the ,l bulk of population from buying?

GOV. SMITHS LAST MESSAGE.

In his eighth annual message ito the New York legislature Gov. Alfred E. smith summar- ized all Of the accomplishments of his Admins trations reviewing conditions as they prevailed when he took office as Governor for the first time and the reforms that had been accomplished It was lengthy document, some 10000 words, and may be regarded comprising his record as Chief Executive of the nations greatest state. Primarily it deals with purely local matters It's reference to the Eighteenth Amendment, and his recommendations as to the ratification or future amendments by New York however, are of interest to the entire nation.
 Concerning the Prohibition Amendment he said:
 \ There devoyes upon the State sacred duty of sustaining the Eighteenth Amendment and the Velstead law They are as much part of the laws of this State as our own statutes and our own Constitution In fact the Constitution of the United States itself declares that document and the laws made pursuant to it to be the supreme law of the land and the Judges in every State bound thereby anything in the Constitution and the laws of any State to the con trary notwithstanding.
 Aside from the limited number of po- licemen who patrol the sparsely settled sections of the State, the States police power is delegated and we find it exer- csed in the first instance by the vil- lage constable the sheriffs and the de- putty sheriffs, and the police officials of the cities. I speak only the truth when l say that the people of any local- ity get the degree of law enforcement upon which they insist and for which they willing to pay
 As far 1 am concerned in obed- fence to my oath to sustain the Con- stitution of the United States, have re- peatedly promised the people that so far it lies in my power in the eonstitu- tonal statute law will remove from office upon any proper proof being pre- sented any public official charged with laxity in the enforcement of the law
 Obedience to the law is the founda- tion stone upon which the structure of government rests Uniform obedience is necessary to preserve the dignity and the majesty of the law. Law enforce ment must of necessity begin with ar rest Too many misnformed people look for detailed enforcement from the head
 rather than from the root of police power.
 If either the vets or the drys had been look ing forward to the Governors message for some thing sensational on the Prohibition question this statement must have disappointed them. Tn plain fact is Gov Smith not greatly con cerned about creating any sensation It was hi duty as he it. to repeat to the Legislatly assembly the Administrations often declared posi- tion of impartial enforcement of all laws am to recall to it that the Eighteenth Amendmen and volstead Act equally binding upon NeS York as are amendments to it's own State Con a stitution and laws enacted by it's own Legislature Of more than local interest is the Governor remarks upon the right of Americans to freedor of speech and freedom of expression. In Uni connection he said
