' Interesting Programme, After Term of ¢ 76 Nights. The night school, which has been held at the Natchaug school, closed on DMonday night after a term of 75 nights. A very interesting pro- gramme was given by the puplls, as- sisted by George Willlams. The av- orage attendance throughout the term was 65, the smallest of any year with gne exception, and just one half that @f last year. ~The fact that the mils #re running full time this year, While last year nearly all were on short time, may account for this. The subjects taught included read- ing, spslling, writing, English, let- ter writing, arithmetic, geogTaphy, history, bookkeeping, and citizenship. Many nationalities attended, emong ‘them being French, Itadians, Greeks, Swedes, Russians, Poles; the Italians and Poles leading In numbers. The teachers in charge were K. W. Reynolds of the High School faculty, bookkeeping; Mrs. Robert Rose, be- ginners' class; Mrs. S. T. Sulitva: ar grade and Miss Thomas an iss Katherine Carey taught the ad- vanced foreigners’ class. The night school committee consists of Hormidas Dion, Robert Fenton and Mrs. K. J. Spaulding.

The case of intoxica- tion against him was dismissed. Buckley claimed to have been work- ing in a mill outside Willimantic. He told the court that in the early hours of Friday morning the mill caught fire and he, with several others, worked at the fire and succeeded in_saving one mill. The owner was so jubllant at saving the mill that he took the men to Willimantic where he wined and dined them.

He said that the game was an incubator for “bum: that Pop An- son hadn't a cent and that the rumor was current that Connie Mack was about broke, although he couldn't ball players going broke was because the life instilled into them the gamb. ling habit which was irrestible m after years ‘and allowed the money they saved during prosperous times to slip through their fingers. Buckley agreed to return the loan, stating that his word was all he could give, Whether he was what he claimed there is no way of knowing, but for a man of his years he was well set up, broad shouldered and straight as an arrow, and he certainly knows base- ball, whether from the experience he claims or from other sources.

SECRET TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR Bring back color, gloss and thickness with Grandma's recipe of Sage and Sulphur. Common garden sage brewed into & heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux- uriant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is trouble- some. An easler way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug _stores. known as ‘Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. ‘While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive- ness. By _darkening_your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so natur- ally, so evenly. You just dampen & 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. e LOUIS E.
