Ordinance DELAYED

BALTIMORE, June 23.-Pass-
age by the City Council of the
proposed ordinance liberalizing
the Sunday laws of this city will
probably be deferred until early
this fall when Mayor Jackson
will call a special session, accord
ing to Jerome Sloman, chairman
of the councils blue law commit

inability of the Mayor to fix the
date for the special election at
which the measure will be sub
mitted to the voters. This can
not be done until the money
needed for the special election
can be obtained.

TRIAL UNDER WAY
Prosecutor Expects to Prove
Girl Was Friendly With e.
derby JeweIry Salesman.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, March 1.-THE
State of Utah today had started across
the stand a procession Of witnesses
upon which it depends to convict Jean
Dayle, 81, former cabaret singer, on
a charge of murder in the death last
December of Sam Frank, elderly Mem
phis jewelry auctioneer.
The first prosecution witnesses were
placed on the stand late yesterday.
District Attorney Ray Van Colt had
ready an array of evidence bearing on
the acquaintance of the young woman
and the elderly victim.
The jury of II men carefully ques-
toned as to their family connections,
their religious convictions, views on
morality and their race prejudices, are
mostly well advanced in years. But
of them are under so years old and
A are past so. Some are grandfathers.
At least 10 are church members.
The States first witness was Joseph
Blickensderfer, county surveyor. who
explained a plat of the hotel room in
which Frank was slain.
A prospective witness was the pro-
prietor of jewelry store here, where,
the State alleged, Jean Dayle met
Frank at an auction and to which
they returned at various times to make
purchases.

Sage Tea Turns
Gray Hair Dark
Says Ruth Starr
Gray Disappears OUernight

Stay young, my friends. Above all,
why let your hair get gray, when
there's a simple way to lose gray hair
overnight and in few days have
beautiful dark hair. It's a brew of
common sage tea properly blended
with sulphur. An old recipe women
used to steep on the back of the
stove. Now improved and sold by all
druggists for 75c a bottle. Wyeth's
Sage & Sulphur. Use it, following
directions, and very soon it will re-
store your hair to its original color

ever know.
