Washington, March 13:--With
the prospects of a suspension Of the
Mexican constitution so as to estab-
lish practically martial law through
out the country, 1t Is believed here
today an invasion by the American
troops is much nearer at hand than
at any time since the mobilization
was ordered. Many believe the es-
tablishment OF martial law will pre-
vent what President Taft termed
necessary cause for action"
After a long distance telephone
conversation with Brigadier GEN
eral Edwards, Secretary of War
Dickinson today postponed indef-
nftely his trip to Panama though
he was In New. York and ready to
sail this afternoon. The only err
planation given at the war depart
ment of the sudden change of plans
was the necessity for drafting new
agreement regarding rates on the
Panama railroad and steamship
companies lines. General Edwards
denied that the action of the secre-
tary had any connection with the
Mexican situation.

Homemade Cosmetics.

Any woman who intends making cos
metics must first understand certain
fundamental rules or she win only
waste materials.
Fats, such as spermaceti, wax and
others naturally hard, are to be sot
tened before mixing with other things.
They may even be melted a little, but
two facts are to be borne in mind.
One is that direct heat must never be
employed. A bath Is the only way,
by which Is meant putting the ma
terials into a china or glass vessel and
placing this In hot water. Direct heat
win ruin fats.
The other detail is that once fats be-
come actually hot they are ruined and
win not harden when cold. The ideal
method is to break the solids into small
and regular bits and soften them In
the bath. II they melt, then the liquid
will be only warm and not hot unless
the bath h made too hot.
When liquids are to be combined
with grease, as rosewater In cold
cream, the mixing must be slow and
stirring incessant, II hastily put to-
| gether they will not blend. The stream
of liquid should be not more than q
thread in size, apd If the mixture be-
gins to harden too soon 1t may be re-
turned for a moment to the bath, con-
tinuing stirring.
Still another point is that glass or
china should always be the receptacle.
Metals will blacken creams and with
some formulas win ruin the results
through chemical action. Stirring, If
metal is employed, must be done with
silver. An ivory paper cutter is good,
only n must be certain 1t Is ivory
and not cellulotd. Bone Is ideal for
almost any chemical work, and a glass
rod is unequaled.
When toilet wateus are being COM
pounded they must stand always for
ten days before opening, and three
months will bring better results.
Homemade powders are rarely Success
full only because they are not mixed
sufficiently. Ten times Ia home too
many to pass a formula through a
coarse muslin.
Another cause of failure is that In
experienced persons attempt to work
the perfumed oils used into the pow
der instead Of the powder into the
oils.
Smoothness is impossible In either
case, but III the latter way II a few
J grains are absorbed at a time all the
oil is taken up. and many siftings viii
finally distribute 1t. the Jumps being
forced through the cloth each time.

1t Gems unfortunate that when the

NO ONE FINDS
MISSING WORD

No one has yet found the word
omitted from the page of ads in
Mondays issue of The Ardmorcite
1t would take someone with an ex.
ceptional pair of eyes to locate this
one little word-most anyone would
need to carry a lantern with them
on their search for it-fact is it's
the hardest word to find that has
yet been necessary to supply in or
der to land a piece of this easy
pin money.
We really didn't expect anyone to
find yesterdays word-we made it so
hard that We were quite sure no
person would get it. We had a reason
for this-Sunday's word was too
easy-and we find that when more
money is in sight the interest in the
hunt for the missing words is in
creased-that makes the people sit
up late and read the ads.
Today two words are dropped out
of two different ads and they will
not be very hard to locate-that is
if you apply yourself to the job and
don't give up too easily.
Tonight the two words are worth
ore dollar pece-pretty good price
for two words. Who wants it?

Washington, April lO.-lt Is dally
becoming manifest that congress is
facing stormy session and there
can be no forecast Of the probable
legislative results The fact that both
of the great political parties are di
vided is no longer denied and the
leaders appear to have little hope OF
restoring anything more than sur
face harmony
There are virtually four parties
each with a large representation,
working at odds in the present ses-
sion. The republican minority of the
house is divided between regulars
and insurgents, as was evidenced by
the vote in the speakership contest.
The breach between these two fac
/ tions is even wider in the republican
/ majority of the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be.
/ tween the conservative democrats OF
the senate, who are opposed to any
attempt at dictation by William Jen-
nings Bryan, and the progressive
democrats, including practically all
the new members and several vet
erans, like Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, who are Bryan adherents. The
house democratic majority seems to
have escaped break. but the lead
ers fear the party contest in the
senate may at any time spread to
the other branch. The situation has
interfered with the selection OF com
mittees and the beginning of legisla.
tive work.
Peculiar Condition.
Probably there never has been "A
congress where so much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness has
been so equally distributed between
the two major political parties. OF
course this is due in part to the fact
that in the present congress the
democrats are in power in the house
and the republicans are in control
of the senate.
The real cause of the anxiety is be-
lieved to be the proximity of the
party conventions which will select
the standard bearers for 1912 and
the knowledge that slip by either
in the extraordinary session or the
80, la. - Ia, hA
result of the next national campaign
SO far as the administration pro-
gram is concerned there is no room
for speculation. President Taft has
recommended the enactment of leg.
islation to carry out the provisions
o nthe Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, and it is no secret he would
be glad to have congress vote upon
that measure and defer tne question
of further tariff revision until the
regular session next winter.
Whether there is any obscurity
Representative Underwood. chairman
of the new ways and means commit
tee, and other democrats who are
directing the proceedings, remains
to be seen.
Only time will tell what sort of
lineup there will be in the senate
on tariff matters. Previous sessions
have indicated that there are just
ns ardent protectionists in the dem
ocratic as the republican lineup and
the tariff questions may be taken
up at this session.
