SCHOOL CHILDREN STRIKE. | — (United Press Service) Pittsburg, April 21—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Forty school children -struck in Alleghaney this afternoon and formed a straggling parade carrying banners on w hich was inscribed "Kick out Heeter.” Since charges were made against S.

p’HOWDY" ENTERS RACE j : . B \ HOWARD WILCOX. Howard Wilcox, who has been nom- , inated to drive the Fox Special in the third annual 500-mile International Swepstakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, Is an Indiafiapolis man, who has been driving . racing cars ever since he was a young , boy in short trousers. He won the first race he ran, which was the Fivemile Southern Championship at New i Orleans in 1909. He holds the world's record for the stock chassis beach straightaway mile, which he lowered to 40.32 seconds. He also holds the record for the five-mile beach cham- , pionship which he made over the Atlantic Pablo course in 3:56.82. Wilcox is generally known throughout the racing fraternity as "Handsome How- > , dy ” i EUROPESENDSCARS — INTEREST IS AROUSED OVER EN- 1 TRY OF FOREIGN RECORD BREAKERS. Famous Drivers to be Seen at Indianapolis Speedway on May 30. For the first time in the history of American automobile racing, several of the greatest European cars will face the starter at the beginning of the third annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Foreign cars have been seen in this country before, but they were not the cars which have made the sensational reo ords abroad. However, with the entrance of edh English Sunbeam and two French Peugeots, matters have taken another turn, for these cars are the ones which have distinguished themselves both on the Brookfields track, in England, and in the great French Grand Prix race. It has long been the desire of the Indianapolis Speedway management ; to have these cars represented in the I 500-mile race, and last autumn Charles ! W. Sedwick, director of events at the Speedway, went to Europe in order ' to Interest the European manufacturers in the great American event. After j leaving Indianapolis Mr. Sedwick spent several days in New York where , be sought the advice of men who had : an intimate knowledge of European I automobile affairs. When he told them that he hoped to arouse the in i terest of the Sunbeam and the geot Company In the Indianapolis , , n-ce 7 and that Ije desired to induce ' ■ them to enter their cars he was , laughed at. "Don't you know,” said one autbmo- ‘ bile authority, “that you are not the I first man to go to Europe on such a mission as this? Why, practically ev- i 1 ery race association in the country ha. made an effort to secure Sunbeam I and Peugeot entries, but they have I never succeeded. I would advise you (o save your time and your boat fare, | for I know it will not be long until you are back in New York, and that you will tell me that I was right” But Charles W. Sedwick was too enthusiastic over his project to let such advice as this dampen his ardor. “You may be right,” ho told his well meaning friend, "and it I find that you are I shall be' perfectly willing to acknowledge It, but I am going to try anyway, and then if I fall I will ! at least have thij satisfacton of knowing that I have done my best” He proceeded on his way and no sooner had he arrived In Europe than he sought out the heads of the great concerns which manufacture the most I celebrated of the European cars. He I went to them in a direct and businessI like way. He told them of the Speed- . way and showed them photographs of ft, and he gave them an awful suri prise, for the average European can not imagine that there is a track in the world which is greater than the track at Brookfields. Mr. Sedwick proved definitely that faster time could be made on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway than could be made at Brookfiefds, and that by entering the 500-qyie race on May 30, the European manufacturer would have the opportunity to pit bis cars against the very best cars manufactured in America, and that the European drivers would be able to match their skill and science against the skill and science of the American veterans. It did not take long for the foreign manufacturers to see the logic of Mr. Sedwick’s arguments, and when, at the end of thirty days Mr. Sedwlok | sailed tor New York again, he had been given the practical assurance I that both the Sunbeam and the Peu--1 geot factories would begin building cars which would measure up to the technical standard required for the Indianapolis face. Word has been received that the car has been completed and is showing up splendidly in the : tests which are being made of it It is now ready for the driver who will bring it to America, and that driver, by the way, is no less a man than the | veteran Frenchman, Guyot, who has won more honors than any other driver in Europe and who is an aviator as well as a motorist The Peugeot company have also sent their formal •atry papers the cars they send will be driven by Goux and b-th of whom tank among the great driven, of the world. - — »-■ -I - -

GARDEN SAGE DARKENS GRAY HAIR SO NATURALLY NOBODY CAN TELL. Restores Its Lustre, Prevents Scalp Itching; Dandruff and Falling Hair. That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing , a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur, ; While It is a muggy, tedious task, it well repays those whose hair is turning gray, faded and streaked. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns ' gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don’t bother to prepare thetonic; you can get from any drug store a 50cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," ready to use. .This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair and is the best thing known to remove dandruff, stop scalp .itching and falling hair. j Everybody chooses “Wyeth’s" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time which requires but a few moments. Do this at night and by morning the gray hair has disappeared and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abundant. It certainly helps folks look years ‘younger and twice as attractive, says a well known down-town druggist. .The Holthouse Drug Co. mwf
