LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 
A Neck Defect

The greatest trial for the woman whose years are beginning to show is her neck. It is here that the min ute lines and cross-wise creases first appear, showing that the spring of youth is over.
 However, these tiny furrows do not make a woman look as old as does the chunk of fat that disfgures the nape of the neck. I defy any woman to look young and attractive if every time she holds her head correctly which means thrown well back-the pretty line of the nape of the neck is lost to view beneath lump of fat.
 If you happen to be possessed Of this beauty i'll, then hasten to treat it harshly, as mild measures are of no avail.
 What must you do? Why slap and pound the obnoxious fat every day of your life This may sound too stren- uous, but if you are somewhat of a Spartan, I think you will wage this fat-reducing war to it's happy ending.
 Now, attention! Dampen the palm of one hand with spirits of carnphor. then lift your hand high in the air. and bring it down with q decided thud on the nape of your neck. Again raise hand, and again slap the chunk of fat with emphasis Continue thus for three minutes, then moisten the palm of the other hand with camphor and proceed, in turn, to szraite the back of the neck with 1t for a period not exceeding live minutes -
 Be sure you will obtain not the slightest result from the treatment un- less you slap your neck hard enough to bring tears to the eyes
 Don't fear, if you follow my direc- ttons, that the back of your neck will be covered with bIack-and-blu spots. as the flesh can stand a great deal of punishment without becoming discol- ored.
 When you have slapped and pound ed your neck until you are weary, you should bendage it snugly in thin rub

 FOR THE MAYOR

New York, March 11-Ralph Pulitzer Eon of the late Joseph Pulit7er and president Of the Press Publishing Com pany, owner of the New York World. EveufHx vor1d and tkA St. Louis Post -Ddspatch, attempted yesterday to start an action bor criminal libel against Mayor GaynoF. The attempt was. unsuccessf1l. but he may be able to take action against the Mayor today.
 The aCtion will be based on s speech made by the Mayor on February last in which he bitterly attacked the Pull itEerw, Ralph and Walter, and their dead father. The Mayors speech was made at the annual dinner of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade.
 Mfr PuIitezr, accompanied by his at torney, Howard Taylor of II Broad way. and one other elderly man. went to Essex Market police court yester- day morning. Magistrate Kernochen invited the three men into his private chamber. With them went Deputy Assistant District Attorney Lockhart- After a conference lasting the larger part Of an hour MT. Pulitzer and the two men with him left to return later In the day

 MT. Pulitzer subsequently visited ex- Assistant District Attorney James w. Osborne at the Sherman Square Hotel A long conference followed. MT. Pull itzer and MT. Osborne would say noth- ing about it.
 The speech made by Mayor Gaynor on which the effort to base the action is laid, as reported from official ste nographer's minutes, Is devoted mostly to William Randolph Hearst and the PuIitxerss. He said in part:
 --As I left my office tonight saw on a great pile of newspapers by the bridge a great heading on one of them An Injunction Stops the Secret Sub way Deal The proprietor of that papar-or rather two proprietors now, because their father died a year ago, think--is prone to not tell the truth, to say the least
 They have massed a great fortune by lying. They have addressed them selves to the underworld and criminal classes 90 long that they are unable to turn over a new lear and address themselves to respectable people and tell the truth-just listen to 1.-the secret subway dea1.''
