the St. Lawrence are used by United
States and Canadian vessels on equal
terms. Ships of the United States
have exactly the same rights in the
St. Lawrence river from the inter
national boundary to its mouth as are
possessed by Canadian ships. But
from the international boundary on
to the sea, the shores and bottom of
the St. Lawrence river belong to
Canada. So while we have a perfect
right to navigate the St. Lawrence, a
perpetual right granted by treaty in

jointly with Canada in opening the
St. Lawrence to ocean going vessels,
have a treaty with Canada stating
the terms and conditions under which
the work shall be done.
Negotiations for such a treaty are
now under way. As far back as
1920, United States and Canadian en
gineers were instructed by their re
spective governments to make sur
veys of the St. Lawrence river and
plans of the necessary dams, locks
and ship channels. Ait the same
time an international joint commis
sion, created under the treaty of 1909
and having wide powers in all matters
concerning our international boun
daries, held hearings throughout the
United States and Canada asking for
information as to the need of such
an improvement of the St. Lawrence
river. The answer was that the ex
panding business of the middle-west
mos t emphatically demanded the St.
Lawrence ship
channel. On the
American side 21 states have created
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide
water association to represent them
and to urge their case before the
American people, and the American
congress and administration. That
association, which has prepared this
series of articles as a statement of
the needs and purposes of the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence ship channel, has j
made a careful study of the economic
needs of 40 million people in the ma- j
rooned interior of the United States |
J and it has made equally careful study j
(of the benefits that bringing the At- '
lantic into the Great Lakes would ■

benefits have been placed 'before the I

shall be apportioned and when the

government is concerned, to proceed

done the writing of the actual text

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray. Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Altnost 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 at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound." You will get z. large bot
tle of this old-time recipe unproved pj
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
E ossibly tell that you darkened your
air, as H does it so naturally and even
ly. 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 yon look, years younger.
