The PENALTY
OF CRAY HAIR

Gray hair-age-sllpping. All these
unpleasant ideas seem to go togetner.
Yet, it Is not at all necessary. Gray
Hair often comes to a young head and
people who have 1t are neither old nor
incapable. But how often you hear
people say, "Why, she has gray hair!
and-she Is on the shelf.
This penalty need no longer handi-
cap the woman who uses Canute Water.
This is a clear, spring-like water
of wonderful properties which actual.
ly restore hair to it's original girlhood
color. No complicated color plan" no
danger of getting brunette shade when
your hair is blonde. Not only the one
kind but the one bottle is enough. 1t
really is surprising what successful,
youthifying results 1t gives.
Apply Canute Water yourself, in the
privacy Of your own home. Many wom-
en- in town are doing the same thing;
they simply do not mention it. You
need not mention 1t either. Just buy q
bottle from any good druggist-and
get rid of the "age penalty" in gray
hair. CaRute Water is SO safe, so scien-
tific and sure that your dealer knows 1t
will satisfy you; IL not, he will refund
your money. Sold and recommended by

State Prison Board Turns
Down 18 of First 20
Mercy Appeals.
BY STEVE RICHARDS
United Press staH Correspondent

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Oct. %.
The specter of cold winter
months, with a paucity Of jobs,
caused the state prison pardon and
parole board to turn thumbs down
on all but two of the first twenty
applications for clemency, out of
119 to be considered here today.
Churchill Elmore, sentenced In
Dubois circuit court to two years
for burglary on April 16, 1881, was
granted a ninety-day temporary pa
role, and Edward L. Duncan, sem
fenced in Monroe circuit court Jan.
IA, 1915, to life for murder, had his
term committed to from eighteen
years to life.
Twelve applications were denied
outright and six were continued.
Pleas Of five 'lifers" were denied.
Board members refused to con-
slider applications of men who
would be turned out into the winter
weather without the guarantee of
employment, pointing out that such
action would not be conducive to
reform.
Little sign of the caustic, satiric
attitude for which the board was
criticised last summer by the Wick
ersham investigating committee,
was to be seen in today's delibera-
tions.
Applications denied at this morn
ing'S session included:

William Wallace was one of the

It was here that Edison was
greatly stimulated in his ideas on
incandescence.
Wallace was pottering away on
arc lights trying to improve them.

I can beat you making an electric
light. I think you are working in

Edison went back to Menlo Park
and in 1879 the world was startled
to hear that Edison had solved the
problem of the subdivision of the
electric light by incandescence.
But the problem was still I'M
solved. The experiment of 1879 was
simply one step to the final step.
But the final step did not come
until year later.

Worth Over Million

But Major Hammer had agreed to
sell it and today experts say that
this collection, consisting of four
cases ten feet long, is we'll worth
over 100000 and getting more
valuable every minute.
To Major Hammer was intrusted
all the tests and records of the in
candescent lamp when Edison was
bordering on the problem.
That is why Hammer rushed up
stairs The night the first successful
commercial incandeScent lamp had
been created. He had been watch

over a year he had been tinkering
away with Edison and others on
this great invention.

each representing a state of the
Union.
All Products Useless
But though incandescence had
been studied for many years before
Edison decided to make his lamp.
all such products were useless for
commercial purposes.
What was needed to perfect the
incandescent lamp was to secure a
flament inexpensive, of high resist
Rnce to current so that more light
would be given off in the passage OF
the current, and capable of standing
high voltage without melting or
breaking down.
Edison began working on the in
eandescent lamp in 1878. In that
year he attended the transit OF
Venus expedition in the west. He
he'd gone there to attempt the
measurement Of the heat of the star
Arcturus, which is at one of the

Auto Liability Law Soon Goes In
Force.

A modification of the Massachusetts
motorists compulsory liability law will go
into effec, in Maryland shortly.
The new law, enacted by the 1881 session
of the Legislature which has just closed,
requires proof of financial responsibility
to be provided by motorists involved IN
automobile law violations.
Specifically, the new law provides that
the courts shall Immediately report to the
commissioner of motor vehicles all cases
in which an automobile driver is found
guilty of drunken driving, hit-and-run driv-
ine or any violation OF the traffic laws re-
sultine in death. and all cases in which a
Judgment for damages arising from an au-
tomobile accident has remained unsatisfied
for thirty days.
The commissioner, on receipt of such
notification. shall at once suspend the
license of the driver involved and the reg
istration of the vehicle until proof OF imam
cial responsibility in the sum OF $il,OOO,
either by bond or liability insurance. shall
have been posted.
Under the new law, the State insurance
commissioner shall pass upon all forms for
the required liability insurance and only
those approved by him shall be accepted
Unlike universal compulsory automobile
liability insurance. the Maryland law will
apply only to persons who have been in
yolyed in criminal prosecutions under traffic
laws and those against whom Judgments
for personal injuries or death and property
damage in excess of $50 are outstanding.
Included in the definition OF motor
vehicles under the act are trailers. motor
cycles and tractors. -.
Provision was made in the act for the
commissioner of motor vehicles TO be en-
powered to prevent the transfer OF motor
vehicle from any person coming within the
scope of the new law when 1t appears 70
the commissioner that the transfer is in
tended to evade the requirements OF the
insurance law.
One important provision of the aw would
permit the commissioner TO lift the insur'
ance or bond after three years. II within
that time the operator had not been In
volved in the criminal prosecutions named
and did not have any judgment for auto
mobile accident damages outstanding.
