VETERAN TEXAN IS JOYOUS Captain "Bill" McDonald Is First to Greet President-elect. When He Reaches Hotel Trip on Train Is Enjoyable. WASHINGTON, March 3. President elect Wilson's arrival in Washington was Quite similar to his departure from Princeton. Students of Princeton Uni versity formed in a narrow lane, stretching from tne train steps to the President's room in the Union Station. There was deep silence as the President-elect, followed by members of his family, walked through the avenue formed by the students.- The latter stood with their hats off. Mr. Wilson also doffed his silk hat. Walking with him were William Corcoran Eustis. chairman of the inaugural committee, and Thomas Nelson Page, chairman of the Wilson reception committee. "Locomotive" Cheer Given. In the President's room Mr. Wilson was ' introduced to the 60 members of the reception committee, while the stu dents grouped themselves on the espla nade Just outside the station. Here, as Mr. Wilson got into a White House automobile, cheer after cheer came from the Princeton students. First they gave the "locomotive" cheer, with its "siss-boom-ah." "for Wilson" and then "for Princeton." They alternated this with a thundering roar until the President-elect started away. Colonel Spencer S. Cosby, chief aide to President Taft and a naval and mil itary aide from the White House ac companied Mr. Wilson to his hotel. There were cheers along the way as pedestrians recognised the party. The first person to greet the Presl dent-elect and Mrs. Wilson on the steps of the hotel was Captain "Bill" McDon ald, the aged Texas ranger and body guard to Mr. Wilson during the recent campaign.

He wore a big felt sombrero, an incongruous companion to the silk hat of the Pres ident-elect. "I'd never a-died happy If I hadn't been here today," said Captain Bill, as he walked arm In arm with President elect Wilson to the hotel. The President-elect found the corri dors of the hotel crowded with Prince ton alumni, wearing orange and black rosettes. . The Wilsons went imme diately to their suite on the fourth floor of the hotel, where John F. Wil son. a cousin of the President-elect and a score of relatives were waiting to receive them. The President-elect had b'een in his rooms but a few minutes when Vice-President-elect Marshall and Mrs. Marshall called to pay their re spects. Trip Seems Brief to Wilson. Mr. Wilson's three-and-a-half-hour trip from Princeton to the National capital seemed like a moment to him, he said. He found aboard the train which the students had provided es pecially for him every comfort and convenience. They had invited also some of the intimate friends of the Wilson family and the latter found themselves in a homelike atmosphere all the way. Mr. Wilson sat In the rear parlor car with his family, chatting' most of the time with his friends. Colonel Thomas H.

Tears ag-o the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this better than ourselves. By asking at any drug- store for the ready-to-use product called "Wyeth'a Sage and Sulphur Hair Rmedy" you will get a lares bottle for about SO cents. Some druggists make their own but it's usually too sticky, so Insist upon get ting "Wyeth's," which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is the best remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish. Itchy scalp and to stop falling hair. Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur" because no one can positively tell that you darkened your hair, as II does It so naturally and evenly, says a well-known downtown druggist. You dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This requires but a few moments, by morning the gray hair disappears and after another application or two is restored to it natural color and looks even more beautiful and glossy than ever. Agentu.
