THE BEE:, OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7. 1920. MACHINE GUNS WOULD PROTECT OMAHA BANKS Action Proposed as a Safe guard Against Daylight Rob beriesReturned Gunners Among Employes. Machine guns, capable of firing 30(1 ,hots a minute, may be installed by Omaha banks for protection against holdups and daylight robberies, ac cording to reports which are daily becoming more and more persistent This action by Omaha bankers is proposed as a result of inefficient police protection, it is said, and due to the increased number of bold robberies which have been current in Omaha recently. Have Good Gunners. These machine guns would be placed in positions on the balcony to the main floor of the bank, com manding a view oi the entire group of cages 'and exits of the bank. It is understood that several of the larger banks now have returned sol diers in their employ who served as machine gunners on the battlefields of France, and that these men would be placed in charge of the rapid fire guns. John W. Gamble, vice president of the First National bank, Sixteenth and Farnam streets, yesterday de nied that officials of his institution had purchased machine guns for this purpose, and stated that contempla tion of such a move was not known to him. uuns not rurcnasea. Rumors about the First National, for several days, have been persist ent to the effect that the battery of rapid fire guns had already been pur chased. "I would be only too glad to an nounce the purchase of these guns," said Mr. Gamble, "if such a thing had been done." v "The possibility of a robbery in this section of the city seems very remote to trie. The rumor which has been started that the First National already has purchased machine guns is unfounded." Herbert Hoover Says He Is Not Candidate For the Presidency Portland, Ore, Jan. 6. Herbert Hoover stated definitely in a tele gram received here today by Elkin Watkins, president of the Jackson club, that he is not a candidate for the presidency of the United States. His telegram read: "My engagements and connec tion with the industrial conference and with relief work in Europe make it impossible for me to go to the northwest at present. Beyond this, please aecept the sincerity of my statement that I am not a can didate for the presidency, and a campaign, to that end from any party would be wrongly directed."

COMB SAGE TEA INTO GRAY HAIR Darkens Beautifully and Re stores Its Natural Color and Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco hol added, will turn grayj streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im proved by the addition of other in gredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sin ful, we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wy eth'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 dis appeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beauti fully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. GRAPEFRUIT Se EACH Special for Wednesday and Thursday H.

A petrified man, estimated to be 20,000 years old, was "summoned" yesterday to appear in the county court on January 14. The petrified man, who has been dubbed "A. Petrus Stone," is in volved in a suit for $500 brought in county court by Fred Dellman, a showman, aeainst William King and . A. Cooper, the latter president v . s- i r- i 1 Ot tne umani rum exenangc. Mr. Dellmar is trying to collect a promissory note for $500, being the balance due on the $750 pur chase price of the petrified man., Must Have Proof. Messrs. King and Cooper say they agree to, pay the note when Mr. Dellmar furnishes proof that "A. Petrus Stone" is really a pet rified man and not a creature of cement or some other bogus com pounding. Mr. King has just returned from a successful tour of the south, where he exhibited the "petrified man" to admiring thousands. But if "Mr. Stone" is a man of concrete and not surrounded by -all the antiquity with which the bally hoo man in front of the tent has invested him, then Messrs. King and Cooper do not propose to pay an other $500 for him. They believe they can get cement figures at a lower price than $750 each. Judge Seeks Expert. "We will bring the petrified man into county court," said Fred An heuser, attorney for the defendants. "We will ask Mr. Dellmar to come here and prove to the court that this is really a petrified man, discovered in the bed of the Colorado river six years ago by an old trapper. He said he had affidavits and could get the expert opinion of, the Smithson ian institution scientists. "If he can do that his $500 is ready for him. If he can't, if 'Mr. Stone' is a manufactured antique, then he has all that's coming to him." Judge Crawford will ' "view the body," but says he'll need a lot of expert opinion to help him out on his decision.

No Odorous Hog Feeding Yard Wanted in Dundee The city council yesterday denied a garbage permit to George Urbach, who proposed to establish a hog feeding yard on a tract he leased at Fiftieth and H streets.

Another objection was the inabil ity of the council to learn that Ur bach was a registered citizen ot Omaha. A flexible steering wheel shaft for automobiles is a French invention. Regular Habits Produce a Beautfiul Complexion Daily elimination rids the system of poisons. Women should realize that! MANY women complain daily of their complexion, of their headaches and gen eral ill health, little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more sub ject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it. The result is seen in lusterless, weary eyes, in sallow, pimply complexion, in lassitude, bad breath, and in that word so often used, "indisposed." , At the first sign of these symp toms the wise woman Till take a laxative, and Till see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thou sands of women because it is mild and gentle in its action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine. This combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin, which can be bought at any drug store, is also a very sterling first-aid in colds, fevers and other sudden ills that make it advisable to always have a bottle in the home. It is free from narcotics and safe for the tiniest baby. In spite of the fact that Dr. Cold. well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefits have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial botde to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 511 Washington St, MonticeUo, Illinois.
