Not a dull moment was experienced during the entire performance. Frankel Scores Hit. , Harry Frankel was the outstanding figure of the evening, his black-face -f-ongs and antics being a close parallel of the famous Bert Williams. His singing of "It's Nobody's Business But My Own" caused the audience to call him back for several encores. "Just a Bit of Harmony", the first act of the olio, was a series of songs by the-Kiwanis. Quartet composed of Messrs'."" Gartonr Funk.-Hodge and Gardner, with Roland Nusbaum at the piano. For exact harmony and excellent entertainment this part" of the show was in a select class, the four voices blending well ensemble. Professor--Samuel -Carton's singing of "fhnk' God For You" was particularly good." '"- Jazz Trio. . Jazz music with the moaning saxaT'hone; hesitating xylophone, nd pep inetilling piano in the hands of Kiwauians Maddy,:, Wei$bror and; Nusbaum scored a tremendous success. AH the men were masters of a number of instrmuenta and played each with f (jual ease. V ".: ' - u. 'Special mention of little Miss Ruth PjStaery, nine year old .daughter of Mr. ad Mrs. J. C. Penery. who was delightful in her aesthetic . dancing, mnst. be made. Her grace and technique captivated the entire audience. "i. Original Stuff.

The noting 'of all.,;the principles-in .this is beyond description, .- Walter Engle, Guil) Copeland. Lulu Butler, 'Mary Cfiehoweth. Amy Fitzpatrick, Fred Butler and Harry Frankel all made a decided hit, together; with the Five Kings of Syncopation, and a bevy of Goosetown cronies played by various members of the club. Costuming in this part is excellent in every detail, and two special stage settings are used. . The first part of the minstrel Is enritled "When Good Fellows Get Together." Ray Weisbrode held down the role of interlocutor in great fashion. -- -Tickets are on sale at Dafler's Drug store and can be secured at the box office of the Washington Theatre.

Gray, 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 and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyetb's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a, large bottle of this old-time 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, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger Advertisement

USE OF INDIANA COAL INCREASED IN STATE BY FUEL COMMISSION BY GEO. W. STOCT INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 17. The consumption of Indiana coal by Indiana consumers, or at least an increased use in Indiana of Indiana coal, is one result brought about by the operation of the law which established the special. food and fuel commission in the state, according to the report just made by the commission to the legislature. The commission's report declares that through its activities in the fuel emergency period, business relations were established between coal dealers and coal mine operators who never before had been brought into business contact. In other words, one effect of the law has been to place Indiana coal with dealers, and in the bins of consumers who never before had used that product or handled that particular coal. Point Possibility. In the report it is intimated that if all operators of Indiana coal mines bad co-operated with the commission as did a portion of the mine-owners, "the consumption of Indiana coal within the state might have been doubled or trebled." From the very first keen students of the law creating the food and fuel commission have accepted the measure as, in effect, introducing Indiana coal by compulsion to a large number of new customers and consumers, leaving it only to the producers of In diana coal to instruct the people In the best use of the fuel and to make permanent the emergency market for their CQal. Some operators have declined to see anything in the statute save an attempt to "regulate" an industry "out of business." The commission points out that these reluctant and hostile operators have been overlooking a good opportunity to increase their own business on a permanent basis in fields not before developed. Fight Insurance Bill. Insurance men are making a vigor ous fight against a bill which would ' put power in the hands of the head of , the industrial board arbitrarily to wipe off the slate certain charges for liability insurance now being collected from industries. The premium on liability or compensation insurance is based on an "estimated pay roll," fori one thing. At the end of the year, when an. audit shows the payroll of the insured industry actually has been far in ex-1 cess of the estimate made in advance, I the insurance company collects additional premiums accordingly. It is as-! serted by the insurance men that the : bill they now oppose would give the I state's commissioner arbitrary power; to "abolish" this additional premium, ; though the fee is alleged to be lair and proper. It is' charged that the' bill was drawn by a well known at-; torney who is close to the powers 1 named in the measure to exercise new ! additional cowers ! additional powers. Tn.,0a .

SOLDIERS GUARD REST OF RETURNED AVIATOR AFTER SOME HARDSHIP (By Associated Press) SANDERSON, Tex., Feb. 17. A guard of soldiers today kept Intruders away from the hotel room where Lieut- , - , . , Alexander Pearson, Jr., bad the first real rest since he left El Paso last Thursday on a flight in an army alr-j plane to San Antonio. Uniform in rags, face unshaven, wornout from privations suffered In Texas' most desolate waste lands, the 25-year-old aviator rode into Sanderson last nigjit on a horse borrowed from ranchers. Less than three hours flight from El Paso he made a forced landing at 1:20 last Thursday afternoon in Reagan canon, some 95 miles from wire communication and. human habitation.! For three days he waited without food, j taking water from the airplane radiator to quench his thirst. On the fourth day he struck the Rio Grande and floated down the stream on an improvised raft, until he was discovered by ranchers, who gave him food and a mount. His arrival came as tho 65 army aviators who combed Texas in search of him since last Friday had almost given up hope. Intended Long Flight Lieut. Pearson was on his way from Douglas, Ariz., to Florida to make an attempt at a transcontinental flight in 24 hours on Washington's birthday. A strong north wind drove the aviator from his course and then bis engine choked and stopped before he could choose a landing, and damaged the wings on striking the ground.
