bers TO divide. Multiples of these
two numbers r not as readily
sub-divided as those OF even num-
bers. A number composed only
OF these erratic digits will find

the number, 7733733, which can
be divided by both 3 and r with

This dilemma Is not 50 easy TO
solve as the other. In case Of
accident, it may be wise not TO
use a pail, but just a small metal
bowl to hold a moderate amount
Of water. Ladies wearing perish
able dresses should not be in
weighed into this, regardless of
the desire for personal vengeance
any of the party may feel toward
them.

OTHER WOMAN.
DENIED BY
WOODWARD

NEW YORK, Feb. l U.Sl-
Frank Woodward, the jelly king,
was a witness yesterday in the
habeas corpus proceedings brought
by his mother.in-law, Mrs. Mary A.
Davis, of Fall River, Mass, to obtain
custody of his two children whom
he Is alleged to have kidnapped from
their mother In Paris.
Numerous issues in the case were
brought before Justice Levy, aside
from the custody of the children.
Evidence in Europe
Hearing on the writ Of habeas
corpus will be taken up on February
Is, allowing Herbert c. Smith,
counsel for Mrs. Woodward, time
to return from Europe with affi-
davits.
Justice Levy decided custody of
the children upon writ of habeas
corpus may be determined IN this
country while Woodward proceeds
with his divorce petition at Nyack
in Rockland county.
The question whether Woodward
had rented a home at Nyack be-
cause divorces are turned out more
speedily there was injected In the
hearing. Woodward denied that
was the explanation and said he
wanted a quiet place for the chill
dren.
He continues to maintain an
apartment here.
Further argument arose over the
identity of a woman who left the
Sherry y-Netherlands att 4:30 o'clock
Wednesday morning with Wood
ward when he was served with
the writ of habeas corpus.
Mistaken Identity Claimed
Frederick ScoviIIe, anothe Wood.
ward attorney, explained that the
man who left the hotel with a wo-
man was not his client but a
former chauffeur OF his and that
the woman was Mrs. Frances RAN
dolph. real estate operator inter-
ested in the lease at Nyack.
Nathan Burkan said 1t was
strange that a woman who arrived
on the same ship from France with
Woodward should be in the COM
pany of his chauffeur at an early
hour of the morning.
Mrs. Davis, acting for her daugh-
ter in seeking the custody of the
children, was given PERMISSION 10
visit them today at a hotel in
Nyack.
wellman, counsel for Woodward,
made the following statement at
the close of today's proceedings:
Calls Claims UnfOunded
II feel that in this case it is my
duty to my client to state that
these unfounded newspaper accuse.
tions against him are made solely
on the authority of his mother-in-
law who has not even seen him for
eight and one-half years and who
cannot therefore possibly know first
hand any of the facts she alleges
in her moving papers, which were
not even served upon him nor upon
us as his attorneys.
When the real facts in this case
become court records the public will
then have the opportunity to judge
of their profoundly serious nature. !"
Mrs. Davis accused her son-in-law
of having associated in public
places of Paris with the Princess
Fatima, who, she says, is the
daughter of a rug-peddler.

When a woman mentions gray hair
to me, don't hesitate to advise the
use of restorer and I recommend
sage tea and sulphur.
A brew of common garden sage
when properly combined with sui
phur, restores gray hair to its or
iginal color, lustre and beauty. So
perfectly does it do the work that its
use is undetectable. You may either
prepare the mixture at home or buy
it already prepared and ready to
use. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is
the name of the prepared article and
it costs only 75c a bottle at drug
gists. Hence there's no need of your
bothering to prepare the mixture
yourself.
You simply moisten a comb or
soft brush with 1t and draw 1t
through your hair, one strand at a
time. The very first application BAN
ishes the gray and one or two more
sees the hair beautifully restored to
its original life and color. One
would be surprised II she or he
knew Of the thousands who use
this preparation.

Boy Scout Troop of this city has achieved an uniqpe distinction, for it has won the city champion ship every year since the annual field meets were inaugurated in 1915. This unbroken record of vic tories was preserved recently when the troup far outscored all com- petitors at Willow Brook park and won this years title by scoring 52 points. while the best any other troop could collect was 21 points. Troop 4 scored four first and four seconds and was shut out in only one event.
 The troop is located at and is sponsored by the First Congrega- tional church, and in the chapel of that edifice is large cabinet filled with the trophies won by the scouts. These are shown ranged in front of the troop in the pie ture above. The original plaque, which was offered in 1915 as the first award given by the council, is shown in the center, while ranged about it are a dozen cups and two pennants won by finishing in first place in succeeding years. Included in the array of silverware are also a scoutcraft cup won one year when this event was separated from the rest of the meet and the 1925 court of honor trophy.
 The troop has a membership of 35 active scouts. while many others now at college are carried on the rolls as associate members. At pres ent o1 Troop boys are in various colleges, and four more will enter in the fall The troop has produced 12 of the 20 eagle scouts in the New Britain council and scored the rec ord number of 624 points in the scoutcraft event this year.

VOODOOISTIC CULTS
 BARRED FROM HAITI
Government Protests That Stories of Wild Rites Are Grossly Exag-

Port Au Prince. Haiti. June e1 R-Representation have been made to the state department at Washington. backed by endorse ments from Americans and other foreigners resident in Haiti. against tales of voodistic cannibalism in this republic.
 These stories have been de- nounced by government officials, press and public as mere fantasy. Noodooism, they assert, exists in only mild form in a few remote villages and there has been no au- thenticated case of cannibalism in the island since the early eos.
 One of the most efficacious meth ods of overcoming the cult was the system of arresting the 'bocors' or witch doctors dressing them nj convict clothes and putting them to work in chain gangs. The sight of the humiliation Of these former ly dreaded persons. laboring under the eye of an armed Garde. quick ly reassured the poor country peo- ylo
