Milady's Toilet Table
By Nine. D'NIILLE

The simplest aids to beauty are often
most effective. l know of no truer
beautitier for the complexion than a
simple lotion made by dissolving an
original package Of mayatone in a half
pint of witch hazel Gently rub on
face, neck and arms, and you will be
delighted with results. 1t will not rub
off like powder but makes the skin
smooth, soft and satinlike. 1t restores
and preserves youthful loveliness of
the skin.
Drying the hair makes washing the
head a trying task. Dry shampooing
leaves the hair clean, light, fluffy and
cornmeal in a fruit jar, add the con-
tents of small original package Of
therox and shake well together. Sprin-
kle little on the head and brush thor
oughly. That Is all there is to II, and
this treatment will make the hair grow
If anything will.
1t is impossible for woman to look
her best when she Is suffering from a

Eagle City TO the mouth OF tho Nc
Kenzie seemed impossible, and not until
the outside. world had sent word by
telegraph that It was Amundsen UNI
uuestionably, did the Eagle City people
believe It,"
Editor Grosvenor believes that the
scientific results of Amundsen's dash
will depend somewhat on what course
he took inland
while the feat of reaching the South
Pole is a splendid achievement, a crown
of personal glory to whoever has rech-
ed It first, the scientific value OF the trip
will depend somewhat on the course
pursued" declared Mr.. Grosvenor.
AS result of Shackleton's expedition,
It seems certain that the South Pole Is
on n high tableland. 1t Is inconceivable
that the land should slope down to
sea within the 100 miles between the
Pole and the point to which Sir Ern.
est Shackleton got. The character or
this intervening country will probably
he shown to be much like the country
which Shackleton traversed when he fol-
lowed on for $50 miles more the trail
blazed by Captain Scott in 1902"
Route of Explorers.
Mr. Grosvenor pointed out that II
Amundsen followed an absolutely new
way, he may have much more valuable
contribution to make TO geographic
knowledge than IL his route in was close
to the line first started by Scott and
then followed by the other Englishman.
Captain Amundsan is known to have
landed about 300 miles east of McMurdo
sound, where Captain Scott landed. The
two points of landing are on q degree
Of latitude about the same, and the
direct routes from each point TO the
possible that Amundsen made his dash
for the Pole in straight line from
his point of landing. If he did, he ex-
plored new country; If not, and as Is
believed likely by most authorities here,
he turned in toward the line of the
previous Scott and the Shackleton
marches-then Captain Amundsen can
not possibly, It is declared, have much
to tell that has not been contributed to
geographical knowledge by the two
English explorers.

SOLDIERS
MAY Be CALLED ON
TO PAC|FY CHINA
Ministers in Picking to De-
eide If Army of Allies
Is Needed.

II the foreign ministers in China de-
eide that the anti-foreign sentiment in
that country cndanEers the lives of
Americans and Europeans who are I'M
able to leave the country, an army of
allies will be assembled that may in the
end be compelled to establish some
form of stable government.
The United States, 1t Is learned today,
is prepared to contribute its quota to
such an army. Five thousand Ameri-
can troops in the Philippines are now
available for this duty, and any part
Of that force may be dispatched to Pc
king at any time the situation will de-
mand IT.
Already conferences have been held
in Picking by the foreign ministers, and
the evidences of anti-foreign feeling
noted. In several of the provinces for
egn missionaries have already been
murdered, and these ministers rcmem-
Der well the 'bIoodthirstiness Of the Chi
nese whe nonce they are stirred up
against the foreigners.
There are now nearly 5000 foreign
troops in China. This force will be
augmented by nearly 1900 more when
the 700 American infantrymen reach
Tientsin and the regiment OF Japanese
cross the line from ManChuria.
This body of troops is perhaps large
enough to guard the Tientsin railroad
from Picking to the sea, but 1t is not
large enough to keep this line open
and at the same time defend the lega-
tons from violent attacks.
Ire Department of State has advised
General Bell, commanding the division
of the Philippines, to hold an additional
force ready for movement to China at
any time Minister Calhoun may decide
that their presence IL necessary for the
safety of the Americans now under the
protection of the legation.

Henry Gannett Sees
No Indication of
A Pole Controversy

Neither official nor unofficial Informal
ton concerning the voyages of captain
Scott and Captain Amundsen in their
dash through the Antarctic regions to
the South Pole has been received by Of
fiCials of the National Geographic So
Ciety. Outside the newspaper accounts,
which they declare to be more disCon-
certing than enligtening, none of the
officials know of the results of voyages
of either.
"Of course, 1t would be impolitlc to
express any kind of an opinion at this
time said Henry Gannett, president Of
the National Geographic Society this
afternoon. The Information which has
come back to civilization from the Polar
regions is meager, and too indefinite to
base an opinion on.
we have watched the work of both
the Britisher and the Norwegian, and
we believe that whatever either may
bring back can be depended upon for
truth and accuracy. There Is no indiCa-
ton of an impending CoOk-Peary con-
troversy, and It is to be hoped that none
such will develop later"

Norwegian Parliament
GlOrifes AmundSen
And Cables Its Thanks

CHRISTIANIA, March S-Today' s
meeting of parliament was devoted TO
clarifying the success OF Captain
Amundsen in reaching the pole. It was
decided to cable him congratulations,
and the fact that there was no hesita-
ton in doing SO was accepted as con-
elusive PROOF that the cablegrams re-
ceived by the King, which have been
withheld from the public in order not
to prevent Amundsen selling the story
of his achievement, tell of the success

This belief was added to by the ad-
dress of the president. who said:
