Women Found in Streets
and in Rooming Houses
Taken by Police.
Speed is being displayed by city
detectives in San Antonio's latest
vice war. Forty-five men and women
landed in the city jail Monday night
swelling the total arrests since the
clean-up campaign was launched Sat-
urday midnight to 107.
Police Chief Van Riper and Cap-
tain Street of the detective depart-
ment assigned additional plain clothes
men to aid Detectives Volger. Jensen
anil Stendebm k in the task of ridding
the city’s streets of undesirables. A
record was achieved during the four
hours’ continuous raids during the
night. Beginning nt 10 o’clock the
officers maintained an average of 10
arrests per hour. Throughout that pe-
riod officers to and from
central headquarters the return trips
frequently resulting in from half a
dozen to a dozen men and women be-
ing brought in under arrest.
The ]x>lice blotter Tuesday morning
showed ten men and women put in

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She Mixed Sulphur With It
to Restore Color Gloss
Youthfulness
Common garden sago brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added will
turn gray streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation if your hair is fading streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home though is
troublesome. An easier wav is to get
a bottle of Weyth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the oldtime recipe
improved by the addition of other in-
gredients.
While wispy gray faded hair is not
sinful we all desire to retain our
youthful apcaranec nn.l attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Weyth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound no one
can toll because it does it so natural-
ly. Voit just dampen n sponge or
soft brush with it nnd draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hair have disappeared and after an-
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark glossy soft
and luxuriant.

AMBITIOUS BUT LAZY
Men Sign I p for Courses and Then
Drop Out.
The average man has plenty of am-
bition and desires very much to get
ahead in business but is usually un-
willing to study hard enough to gain
the knowledge that will help him reach
bis goal. Such is the observation of
IL. E. Diehl district nmnngrr of the
La Salle Extension University of Chi-
cago. A large percentage of students
who 'enroll for correspondence work.
Mr. Diehl says fail to complete their
courses probably for no other reason
than a dislike for hard study.
There was a discussion ns to the
value of illustrations in advertising.
J. C. Brocdhausen contended that good
cuts strengthen the appeal of adver-
tising copy. This opinion was con-
curred in by David Schein who point-
ed to the liberal use of illustrations
by the country's largest advertisers.
President Jtrockhausen announced
that Carl Williams editor of the Ok-
lahoma Stockman and an authority on
co-operntive marketing would address
a joint meeting of the Kiwanis and
Advertising Clubs Friday nt the Gun-
