1'AKIS, Dec. 13.—1 dcvlare without he>l- '
: tation that the predictions made in th<.*
' nited States aud Argentine that Decern
ber 17 will mark the end of the world
are stupid and 1 would take no notice of
j them Were it not tor the fact that th-
Astronomical Society of France has re
■ eelved numerous letters from all parts of
' he world, im biding America. Inquiring
about the plausibility ,>i such a prophesy,
i w nich is based upon the planetary con-
junctions.
As a matter of fact, no conjunction Is
' due. What is happening is that Venus,
Murs, Jupiter and Saturn are approach
iug one another in the same part of the
[ firmament as the sun is found.
These gatherings of the planets in th*
same constellation are not rare. No as
tronomical menace exists. Undoubtedly
the eurth will die one day. either by old
age. sickness, or accident, but the present
position of the planets will not lead to
any cataclysm. So rest peacefully in your
beds.

Five hundred university students, aroused
by predictions of a calamity on the earth
due to the juxtaposition of planets Decern
ber 17, today petitioned the Commission
of Education for a recess, commencing Fri-
day. December 12, in order that they may j
be with their parents or families on the
17th. I
A general alarm has spread throughout
the island following the publication by
local newspapers of alarming prophesies
concerning what would happen on Decem-

LAWTON, Okla , Dec 13.-Oreat excite-
ment has been caused among the less edu-
cated and older members of Indian tribes
in Southwestern Oklahoma as a result of
predictions of the world's end on Decem-
ber 17. Along the eree* banks and in the
wilds of the Wichita Mountains the muf-
fled beating «»f the tom-tom can be heard
; night after night, as the Indians dance and
chant their weird songs, fearful of events
I to come in the next week. Older red men
! are greatly depressed, declaring it is to

t TORONTO, Dec. 13.—Collision with the
; bead of a large comet would cause a calatn-
I ity such as has beet* predicted for the
I world December 17, according to officials
in the Torouto observatory, but they add
that if such collision were imminent "we
would have had s««me warning."
"There is no comet of the size visible
which would be apt to cause such a calam
ity,' said one official, adding that there
is no cause for alarm, as there 1« no rec-
ognized scientific basis ror the prediction
| of disaster.

NDW YORK, Dec. 1.1 -The world need
fear no calamitous effect from the peeu
liar configuration of the planets that will
take place next Wednesday, according to a
■ statement by Dr. llarian T. Stetson of
the Harvard Astronomical Laboratory, is*
i sued here today.
Predictions of floods, electrical storms,
j rltds and other disturbances of far-reach
iug effect, credited recently to a popular
meteorological scientist, are based on uoth
ing more substantial than "hot air." 1 >r.
Stetzon said. "There «s absolutely no
scientific foundation ror predicting any
of the other phenomena such as riots,
which have been described as possibili-
ties," he continued. "We can rest assured
that our lives will reiun»n untroubled on
December 17 by anything which could be
traced to the position of the planets."
On December 17, according to the Har-
vard scientist, all the planets with the
exception of the earth will lie lu an ap
proximate line with the sun and all of
them except I'ranus will be on the same
! side of the sun. They will be strung
j along in approximately the same plane
(and approximately the name line, like so
I many points on one spoke of a wheel.
Meanwhile, I'ranus will ne on the same
line, but on the other side of the sun, like
the point on the spoke directly opposite.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 13.—All In-
dustries may be supplied with coal for I
their emergency needs ai far as coal is i
available lu any section for that purpose,
under orders issued today by the central
coal commi'tee. The order removed the
restrictions which have denied eoal to all
industries except those in the five pre-
ferred classes.
The committee announced that companies
must continue to make application to the
roads which have been supplying them
with fuel. It is expected that the new
order will result iu almost complete re j
sumption of manufacturing next week, ,

LEWIS AND GREEN KNOW MORE
THAN THEY TOLD THE MINERS
By Associated Press.
PITTSBURG. Ivans., Dec. 13.—"Lewis
and Green knejv something they did not
even dare tell the policy committee of the
miners at Indianapolis," Alexander Ilowat,
president of the Kansas miners, said to-
day, discussing the recent strike. "I op-
posed acceptance of the President's pro-
posal," Howat said, "but had I known
what Lewis and Green knew, 1 might not
have opposed It."
The settlement is the best that could be
obtained. President Ilowat said, speaking
of the Indianapolis agreement.
"President Lewis and Secretary-Treas-
urer Green promised us that when the
President s proposal is put in operation
and results have been obtained under that
proposal, the miners will not only have
received the 31 per cent, as Secretary Wil-
son proposed, but there will be improved
working conditions," President Ilowat
said.

WASHINGTON. I). C„ Dec. 13,—John L.
Lewis, acting president, and William
Green, secretary of the United Mine Work-
ers of America, culled at the White House
today to convey to the President their
appreciation of his attitude iu the coal
strike.
Both expressed confidence that prac-
tically all i'I the miners would be back at
work Monday. In reply lo suggestions
that miners' and operators' representatives
on the eomnii-don to Investigate wages
and prices coold oat vote the public rep-
resentative and that a higher price for
coal might result, Lewis said:
"I have every confidence that the Presi-
dent will select a commission whose in-
tegrity and high purpose will be beyond
reproach."
Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings
back the natural color and lustre to the
hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy aud
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound.'" You will get a large bottle
of this oldrtlme recipe improved by the
addition of other Ingredients, at very little
cost. Everybody uses this preparation
now. because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, takiug one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another applica-
tion or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look years
younger. (Adv.)

Christmas time is the great season of
rejoicing—for everyone but father;
he has his little part to play—and then
he's usually forgotten. At the most he
gets eleventh hour consideration—and
a present bought with his own money
What about father?
/
Around Christmas time, he hasn't
mueh to say; he doesn't eare about the
fussy, fancy stuff the rest of the family
gets. A tie, or a handkerchief tickles
him to death.
This year we want to suggest a little
more consideration for father. Our
recommendation is one of these fine
Hart Schaffner & Marx
suits for business men
You couldn't do a finer thing, or one
he'd appreciate more. He'll like the
quiet, dignified style in these clothes
and the perfect fit we'll give him.
The family will like the
fine appearance he makes
as long as he wears the suit
