The insert Is a photograph of Miss Margaret De Baca, daughter of the late Governor of New Mexico, who was sponsor of the vessel. The scene attending the launching was in decided contrast to that which marked the recent launching of the great battleship Arizona at the same yard, when 30,000 persons witnessed the ceremonies.

PUBLISHERS OPEN MEETING

NEW YORK. April 26. The annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association opened here this morning. A discussion on news print paper is the principal event on the afternoon program.

A mistake which was, perhaps the fault of the stenographer rather than

the printer, related to the proposal of a British toast to the "Three per-cent. i Consols" instead of "Three present i Consuls." 1

Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, and youthful with Sage Tea and Sulphur

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called, "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which Is so atractive. This ready-to-nse preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.
