ARMISTICE DAY—A chapter from the Congres
sional Record, which will live long and deserves a
place in the permanent record of the achievements
of Georgians. Congressman William D. Upshaw
November 10th in the House of Representatives:
“Mr. Speaker aad gentlemen of the House, the
profound conviction deepens in my heart that
somebody ought to say on the floor of the Nation’s
Congress, the day before Armistice Day and the
meeting of the disarmament parliament, the word
that I am humbly and reverently secking to bring.
Yesterday, in the shades of the carly evening
we listened to the “vocal silence -the wonderful
cloquence of a wonderful silence, during which
more than a hundred millions of patriotic Ameri
cans paid the tender tribute of grateful tears
The President of the Nation, the Vice-President
and Speaker of the House, the Chief Justice of the
United States, the Secretary of War, the Secretary
of the Navy, and the general in chief of the victor
wus Fxpeditionary Forces of America, laid upon
the bier o fthe unknown soldier the flowers that
were at once the smile of the Nation and the smile
of God.
This morning just before the great stream of
sorrowing citizens began to move by the beloved
dust of this unknown hero, it was my honor an
priceless privilege to place beside this caskes
beautiful floral offering “From the War Moo
of Atlanta and Fulton County, Ga.” Who cun s
It may be that the brave soldier hoy was the -
of some loyal son of the South who followed Rol
ert . Lce and Stonewall Jackson; it may be that
he was the son of some brave son of the North who
followed Grant and Sherman in that tragic mis
nnderstanding that eventuated in “the strife of
brothers”™ But this we do know-—that since
“the sons of the Blue from the wind-swept North
and the sons of the Gray from the sun-kissed South
met on the field of France,” and “the spirit of Grant
and the <pirit of Lee” and the spirit of God met
with them all as they met on the field of France,
we have—God knows we ought to have—an :1]]»!
embracing national fellowship that we never km'\\'!
how to see or feel before. And every citizen \\‘m‘—‘
thy the name of patriot will rejoice always :lll(l{
everywhere to do everything possible to cement
the sacred fellowship of the once-sundered s('ctinnsl
of our common country.
But great as is this contemplation, deep as i.\‘l
this passionate anxiety, 1 feel constrained to l:tyl
upon the hearts of my country this other vital con
templation. The eyes of the world are upon the
United States of America and the disarmament
parliament meeting on the day of the world’s great
jubilee as they have never been before on any oth-

¢r nation or any other hour.
Not only in America but all over the world the
churches of the living God are on their knees pray
ing that the leaders of the Nation meeting here
<hall be led by the spirit of God in order that they
may do the will of the Prince of Peace. Solemn
compacts between men and nations have failed thru
the weary blood-stained centuries; treaties of
peace have failed while the suficring peoples of
the earth have looked on in the agony of despair.
I stand here today as a humble believer in Him
who came preaching “peace on earth, good will to
men” and declare my almost desperate conviction
that a limitation of armaments itself will fail—for
men fought and killed each other before firearms
were ever known—all, all will fail, and treaties and
agreements among nations will continue to be
‘scraps of paper” unless the rulers of earth and
the people from whose consent they gain their
power shall “go back to rock bottom and straighten
up with God.” All, all will fail without the regen
crating and transforming power of the Christ of
Calvary, the Prince of Peace, in the hearts of men
and women everywhere
It is related that in that dark and troublous hour
just following the American Revolution when To
ry and Liberalist were trying to graft their clash
of ideas upon the instrument of the unformed Con
stitution, Benjamin Franklin arose and said -
“Mr. Chairman has it ever occurred to you and
the men of this convention that we who are to pro
iect a nation into the fellowship of the nations «

THE WOMEN JURORS—Courts in many places
that have summoned women to serve on juries are
commending the quality of their service. They seem
to average of higher intelligence than men jurors.
Well qualified men are busy with their own affairs
and elude jury service in many places, where less
competent one, whose time is not valuable, may
aet the job, on the theory that they have plenty of
icisure to do this work. Well qualified women
teel such obligations more keenly orelse have more
time.
One reason for this condition is said to be that
many women’s organizations have interested them
selves and have insisted that the women selected
for this service shall be well qualified. There are
many places where they might well get busy, and
insist also that only qualified men jurors should be
named.

An Old Recipe
To DParken Hair
Sage Tea and Suiphur Turns Gray.
Faded, Hair Dark and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, 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 ai
home, which is mussy and trouble
some,
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound.” You wili get a
larpe bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gredients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and eventy. You damp
en a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through vour hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and af
ter another application or two, vou
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
l;md glossy and you look years voung

Landru Drops His
. e .
~ Business-Like Attitude
{
; s
' VERSAILLES. Nov, 11— Henri
Landru, alleged “Bluebeard" dropped
today for the first time the aloof at
f"fi‘li.,' of the business man discussing
' commercial transactions which he had
‘maintained since the opening of his
trial on charges of having committed
‘eleven murders, ten of them of women
In figurative language, he entered a
stout denial of his guilt,
“Therc is no blood un my hands;
they perhaps are not absolutely clean,
"t they never shed a drop of human
:\'Hn\l.” h(‘ .\('li(].
The trial judge today began the di
rect examination of the prisoner con
cerning the dissappearance of Desiree
Guillin, Landru’s alleged third victim.
The prisoner insisted upon referring
to her as “one of the hundreds of the
missing women who dissappear vearly
in Paris
The so called blue heard , whose
beard incidentally is partly red, ap
peared quite at ease during the exam
ination,
He contends that his relations with
his alleged victims were entirely of
a commercial nature—that as a fur
niture dealer he purchased furniture
and other valuables from them and
had no knowledge of them subsequent
