"WEEK-ENDERS" MAKE HAUL IN NEW YORK CITY V JaVsaaBaaaBaaaaaMBBaaas Bold Yeggmen Crack Seven Safes in Two Days and Obtab $15,000. NEW YORK. April 8. Conferring upon themselves the "Freedom of the City," yeggmen passed the week-end here, cracking seven safes Saturday right and Sunday, obtaining nearly $15,000 In loot and getting away with all of It The boldest of the safe breakers motored to the home of a broker in broad daylight, entered the house and carried off a 500-pound safe which they broka open In a meadow in Central Park, two miles away. They obtained aproximately $2,000 In cash and liberty bonds and $6,000 in Jewelry. Another party of "week-enders" entered a drugstore in the heart of the city, dragged the safe from beneath a light which had been left burning for the benefit of passing patrolmen, and rifled It of $900. Physician Attacked Explosion of a nitro-glycerin charge employed by yeggmen to opena safe in a manufacturing concern attracted a core of residents of the neighborhood but a "casual stranger" readily convinced them the explosion was the "backfire" of a passing automobile. The thieves then departed leisurely with approximately $1,000. New York physicians were warned today by Dr. Edward L. Spitzer, an official of the Physicians Protective League, to leave their valuables at home when answering night calls to attend. A robust Invalid, who summoned one rhysician recently, struck the physician with a blackjack when the latter bent to take his pulse, Dr. Spitzer said.
When the physician regained consciousness the "patient" had disappeared, taking the doctor's purse containing $161 and a diamond ring.

PARADE TO LAUNCH SATURDAY LEAGUE
Indications are that Richmond fandom will be given a real opening day when the Saturday Afternoon League is ushered into the sport arena, on Saturday, May 3. At a session of the S. A. L. moguls Monday night, it was decided that a auto parade would bo the logical way to Impress upon tho minds of Richmondians that the Saturday Afternoon League was going to put on a high class brand of hall this year. The managers discussed plans for making the Saturday Afternoon League a "great hit" with the mass of sport lovers In Richmond and finally mapped out a tentative plan for a huge automobile parade. The parade will be one of the largest of Its kind ever "put on -by an athletic organization. Returned service men will be asked to march In the group or ride in autos, if enough cars are secured. A part of tht High school band will be asked to lead the parade to the Athletic park where the league plans to hold its initial pow-wow. Players, officials and others affiliated with the S. A. L. will be expected to- turn out In large numbers to make the parade a success. At the final meeting of the league managers Monday, April 21, final plans will be made for the opening day. There are six fast clubs In the league and each one is willing to wager on its ability to win the pennant .this year. President Vigran, In summing up the reasons why the league should expect the support of Richmond fans this year, said: "We have got the best balanced ball clubs we have ever had and it is the best all-round league in the history of industrial ball in Richmond." The Starr Piano factory has started its club off by making a present of $75 to buy necessary materials to commence the season. Tickets have been distributed to the managers of the league to be sold this week. Plans were laid to take the money gained by the sale of tickets and use it in repairing the diamonds. The exhibition park will be rolled and some work will be done on the playground diamonds. FLARES WILL AID AIRMEN IN FLIGHT m iaa - ' (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 8 Flame and liares developed during the war and improved recently by chemical experts of the army will be factors in the trans-Atlantic flight to be undertaken next month by naval seaplanes. By dropping these flares at intervals the aviators will be able to determine' the drift of their planes in the cross winds and make the correctness necessary to keep them on their course. Commander J. H. Towers, in charge of preparations for the flight, explained today the flares would be in the shape of bombs which, striking the
waten would give oil name ana smoke, the one visible for long distance at night and the other by day. Numerous experiments with the planes also have been necessary. None of the three of the NC type is ready for the start of the overseas voyage. The little Island of St. Kilda, the most remote of the Hebrides, attacked by a German submarine a year or so ago, is one of the healthiest of all the British isles.
The 1919 spring style show of Richmond merchants was presented at the Washington theatre last evening with every seat in the theatre taken and every Inch of standing room filled for both performances. The show will be repeated this evening. The curtain rose on a prologue scene. In which the young women were shown poised In a large rotating Easter egg shell. After the audience was given opportunity to admire the picture, each young woman joined her escort, and promenaded about the stage, showing the costumes to the best advantage. A charming toe dance was given by Miss Elizabeth Morgan as part of the prologue. Miss Morgan was In a white ballet costume, and was heartily received by her audience. A most complete and lasting hit was made by Miss Barbara Hafner, 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hafner, and Miss Rebecca Ruby, a ' niece of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kolp, who made a gallant youth of four years. The children made excellent actors for the style show, and every child wore charming clothes. Childrens' Scene Feature. Following the prologue came a series of scenes laid in the kitchen where a very neat maid displayed the advantages and delights of kitchen cabinet, stove, tables. Ice chest; the garden where a bevy of attractively gowned young men and women strolled again before their audience; in a boudoir scene in which Mrs. Bert Kolp, two maids, little Miss Dorothy Smith and little Miss Rebecca Ruby in diminutive pajamas appeared. Miss
! Marie Walters in boudoir attire sand
"I'd Like to Linger Longer." Both Mrs. Kolp and Miss Walter wore attractive apparel. A scene for "kiddles" delighted the audience. Plaids, stripes, pinks, blues, jumpers, party dresses, school dresses and play dresses gowned the children in the scene. The play room apparatus, which the children used was especially attractive. Miss Thelma Thomas drove on the stage In an electric car in scene three of part two. Alighting from her car she detailed to her audience a shop-' ping trip she had been making, giving1 a clever resume of the various wares
and merchants taking part In the style show. Miss Thomas appeared later In the evening In a musical monologue accompanied by the Washington pipe organ. She answered to continued applause with an encore. A drawing room party displaying very attractive afternoon and evening gowns closed part three of the program. Again in this scene each model was regarded from the footlight platform. Other musical numbers' of the evening were two vocal selections by Miss Marie Walter, accompanied by Mrs. Prank Bun also of M uncle, who followed Miss Walters with a piano solo, and a duet by Miss Freda Hiatt and Leonard Fink. Merchants who are staging the style show are: Teeple-Wessel Boot Shop; Lee B. Nusbaum company, Jenkins Jewelry Store, Romey and company, Kennedy Clothing company and Chenoweth Auto company.

ROOSTER WEEK TO BE OBSERVED IN STATE JUNE 2-7
LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 8. The Indiana Poultry and Egg association, and the poultry division of Purdue university announced today that Rooster week will be observed in the state from June 2 to 7. The purpose is to "sell, kill or confine for the rest of the summer" all the Hoosier roosters to prevent the big annual loss from fertile eggs. Observance of the request by hundreds of poultry owners last summer resulted in a large Increase in the egg supply, which was needed in connection with the world war. With unusually high prices prevailing for eggs now, and the prospect that they will continue to be very profitable, it is expected that Rooster week will enroll even more followers this year. Plans for Purdue's eleventh annual egg show are nearly complete. A large number of valuable trophies for winners in the big competition have already arrived and it is expected that the number of eggs on exhibition will be the largest on record. The Purdue show is the largest in the United States. The Judges at the show will be Stanley Wyckoff, of Indianapolis, and F. S. Lloyd, of Greensburg.
Before the war the vineyards of Europe covered about 21,000,000 acres and the average yearly wine production was 1,170,000,000 gallons.

Pastors Endorse Principle
Involved in Nations League
The principle involved in a league of nations was unanimously endorsed at the regular weekly meeting of the Ministerial association at the Y. M. C. A. Monday. The entire session was given over to a discussion of the proposed league. The pastors, according to the Rev. A. F. Mitchell, chairman of the publicity committee, did not feel competent to discuss the constitution of the league, withholding endorsement of the covenant itself in the belief that some changes should be made in the articles as proposed by President Wilson. A committee composed of the Rev. Mitchell, the Rev. E. E. Davis and the Rev. L. E. Murray, was appointed for the purpose of drafting "some expression" to United States Senator Watson, who discussed the league at a mass meeting at the Coliseum Wednesday evening. The committee's report will make known the attitude of the association on the covenant as it now stands. Mr. Mitchell Enid today the committee had not set a date for meeting, and that he was unable to forecast any action the body would take. However, he said that the min
isters were specific in their endorsement of the principle and not the constitution, which should be subjected to "some changes," he said the clergymen believed.

Common garden sage h re wed into a heavy tea, with sluphur and alcohel added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improved
by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is "not sinful.
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning,
all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger" Adv.
