EBERTS REGOVER NOW IS EXPECTED German Presidnt, Under Kailg- yumer Takes Place Uiy The Associated Press. Berlin, Feb, 24, ~Presldont Bbort underwent an operation for appen- dlcltis at 1 o'clock this morning in the West Banjtarium whither he was rushed late last night. At 10 &, m, his surgeons lssued a statement saying that the operation had required more than an hour but that it was successful and that the president’s condition was considered satisfactory. The operation was performed by Professor August Bier of Berlin uni- versity, one of the most eminent surgeons in Germany, assisted by Dr. Richard Krueger, 4 Health Had Béen Bad The president had not been in “ Igood health for the last two woeks, being confined to his bed most of the time. He was aupposed to be suffering from influenza, but foupd himselt able to attend the presi- dentfal farewell Jun n for the departing American ambassador, Mr. Houghton, last Tuesday, and seemed in & good mood at that time, Subsequently he grew worsd.and was compelied to cancel and decline engagements, The attack of appen- dloitls came on top of gallstone trouble from which the president has also suffered. When Professor Bler, after an ex- amination of the patient last night, ordered an immediate operation grave apprehension was felt over the outcome by many, inasmuch as the president's nervous system had been badly shaken by hls disappoint- ment over the verdict in the Mag- deburg libel suit in which he was excoriated by the judge, and by his grist over the continuing personal attacks against him.in connection with the Barmat loan affair, even though it was shown that he had not acted incorrectly: The surgeons gave no detaiis of the operation beyond stating that Herr Ebert was under the anesthe- tie for an hout and that he had “passed a satisfactory night” A SAGE TEA KEEPS TOUR HAIR DARK Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the -advantages of a youthful appearance, Your liair 18 your charm, It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few ap- plications of Sage Tea and siphtir enhances its appearance « hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Lither prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle | ot “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” which is merely the old- time recipe improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients. Thou- sands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens, the hair beautifully, be- sides, no one can possibly tell, ns it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the halr, taking one small strand at a time, By morning the gray hair disappears; after another applica- tion or two, its natural color is re- stored and it becomeg thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.

Luther Takes Oharge Chancellor Luther last night was oalled feom & banquet being held in his honor to take over the prosi- dential duties In addition to the chancellorship, as provided for by the constitution in such emergencles, he doctors have repeatedly urged Herr Bbert to take & long rest and seek & curt, but he has steadfastly refused to consider this course as he feit that his duties required his pres- ence In Berlin, At the request of the surgeons, I'rau Ebert did not accompany her husband when he was removed in & anowstorm from his residence in the Wilhelmstrasse at 11 o'clock last night, but his son, Fritz and State Hecretary Melasner accompanied him and remained at the sanitarlum un- til the operation was performed. The patient's temperature' rose very high immediately after the operation, but toward 4 o'clock it sank to 39 centigrade. Frau Ebert went to the hoapital 4o see hor husband at 9 o'clock, and about an hour afterward the an- nouncement was made that his con« ditlon was satisfactory. Much Important Business President Ebert's transter of power to Dr, Lauther who now is both chancellor and chief executive, was necessitated by the fact that much of the ‘business before the president would admjt of no delay. It includes the appointment of fed- eral officials, the exercise of the power of pardon, which is much in- voked in Germany because of the capital punishment provisions in the laws; the issuance of decrees, the reception of ‘forelgn diplomats, the ratification of treaties, and the is- suance of letters of commission to federal representatives at home and abroad, At the executive offices it was in- dicated that all business admitting of delay would be postponed 8o as not to over-burden the chancellor. Matthew . Hanna, American charge d'affairs, called on Foréign Minlster Stresemann at the foreign office to inquire about the president and express regrets at his iliness. Both at the foreign office and at the sanitarium there was a constant stroam of diplomatic callers nquir- ing for his condition, The Berlin press indicates that President Kbert's iliness will, under the most favorable conditions, pre- vent his attending to his official duties for three or four weeks, Un- der article 51 of the constitution it {8 provided the chancellor may act when the president is incapacitated, but it is stipulated that if the indis- position continues for a long time the Reichstag must take action re- garding the filling of the place, The constitution 1s so vague on this point that apparently it is intended that the Reichstag might either select A successor for the unexpired term of a president or call a new election. Dislikes Kitchen Police ' As Discipline Measure Kitchen police” as a means of discipline in the army and Boy Scouts alike was attacked by Scout Exccutive W. 0. Cook in his talk at the sixth meetihg of the scout- masters' school held in Grotto hall last night. The famed “K. P.” is a duty, he said, and not a punish- ment, and making it the latter low- ers the dignity of honest labor. He favored the suspension of privileges as a substitute, illustrating by say- ing that a soldier might be glad to get in by the stove while the others marched in the rain, but he would not be glad if the privilege of a weok-end trlp were denfed him. This applies to scouting also, Mr, Cook sald. He told of the good impression made by scouts in New York state, where there were many signs post- ed reading, “No hpnting or fishing: positively no trespassing: Boy Scouts in uniform welcome,” urged the men present to help maintain this impression. About 30 men attended the meeting and en- gaged In several snappy games after the talk by Mr. Cook, BOY WANTED Bright strong boy to as- sist in stock room and make himself generally useful.

This 1s the second unsuccessful attempt of a strong anti-liquor group in parliament to restrict the drink trafic; the first, made in 1921, suffering a like fate by being adopted in the lower house by 39 to 20 votes, and then being thrown out in the following year by the upper house by 18 to 17 votes, The latest vote was interesting in | that it was not a party vote, as is | so usual in Dutch legislation. T.ocal | option has been hotly debated re- cently hoth in and out of parlia- ment. No fewer than 3,000 public | bodies including Christian work- men's unions, church councils, Y. M. C.

Moreover, these chroniclers relatc, that onfon grew in the an Fernando valley northwest of here, hundred of miles south of Sutter's mill, and the gold rush It started began Ir 1841, seven years before James M shall's discovery of gold In El Dora- do county, It was on March 9, 1841, that Francisco Lopez was riding through San Feliclano canyon with a com- panton and stopped to eat lunch under a tree. Lopez liked onions, and whén he saw a wild one growing within arm’s reach he leaned over of pieces of gold. Soon the rush was on. As far north as Santa Barbara and as far south as San Diago the news of the gold strike spread. In a few weeks hun- dreds of men were sifting the sands of the eanyon for gold, and some were finding it in profitable quanti- ties. Hostilities g@etween the United States and Mexico interrupted the placer mining, and when, in 1855, mining activities were resumed in the San Fernando field, the later but greater gold rush started by the discovery of nuggets at Sutter's mill in the north was in full swing. Estimates of the amount of gold taken out of the San Fernando placers vary widely, but such data as 1s available indicates that more $5,000,000 in placer gold has been shipped gut of Los Angeles county since Lopez's onion revealed the existence of the metal here.
