TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an unat-
tractfve complexion and leaves no lasting
benefits. Those who have tried a simple
spurmax face lotion find 1t much better.
! - It removes skin discolorations. such
AZ freckles and tan, and makes the skin
smooth, white and velvety. This lotion
Il made by dissolving four ounces of
gpurmax in one-half pint hot water. then
adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This
complexion beautif1er does not rub off or
show like powder. and gives more re-
fined appearance. 1t removes both shini-
ness and sallowness, rapidly giving the
skin a permanent healthy. youthful ap-
pearance.
An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be had at trif1ing expense by
dissolving a teaspoonful Of canthrox in
a cup Of hot water. Pour slowly on scalp
and massage briskly. This creates a
soothing. cooling lather that dissolves
and removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on a glossy richness of natural
color, also a fiufiness which makes it
seem very much heavier than it is. Aft

To INVESTIGATE
SINKING JAP SHIP
-Tha sinking

Washington, Dec. 24.-The sinking
of the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru
In the Mediterranean, reported torped-
cod without warning, will be made the
subject of an inquiry by the United
states. Consular agents Will be asked
to obtain accurate versions of the in
cident and forward them without de
lay to the state department.
The state department. inquiry in
the case is based solely On reports
that the liner had an American pas
senger on board. Although he was re-
ported rescued it is felt that if the
liner was torpedoed without warning
his life was endangered. Should re-
ports that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning and that the subma-
rine was an Austrian be verified Off
cially, it is said further diplomatic cor
regpondence with Austria-Hungary
will undoubtedly ensue, in which the
torpedoing of ships without warning
will be discussed and demand again be
made that American lives be not
placed in peril by such practices.

SHAD WHILE YOU
MAY;NEARLYCONE

Washington, Dec. 24.-Shad and lob
sters are disappearing rapidly from
American waters despite artificial
propagation efforts, according to the
annua! report today Of the United
States bureau Of fisheries. Coopera-
ton and aid by state fishery author
tiles is suggested as a remedy for
threatened depletion
shad fishing in the Chesapeake bay
last year was the poorest known, said
the report. Hatcheries maintained by
the bureau are inactive through inabil-
ity to obtain eggs, it added, and would
remain so unless shad were protected
on their way from the sea to the
spawning grounds.
The decline in the lobster industry,
the report declared, was viewed with
great uneasiness. More efficiency in
artificial propagation was urged as
necessary to arrest dimunition.
What the bureau is doing to reduce
the high living cost through conserya-
ton and utilization of food fishes is
told at length
Efforts of the bureau along this
line" said the report. "entitle it to be
regarded as a public benefactor. .
Millions Of food fish, left stranded
every year by floods. are saved and dis
tributed, said the report, and much is
done to exploit as food little known
fish and other aquatic products.
Reduction in the price of sealskin
is promised with the statement that
hereafter dyeing and dressing of seal
skins will be done in the United States
instead of in London The government
now has several thousand skins IN
storage TO be dyed Alaskan seals
comprise the most valuable herd OF
wild animals ever owned by any gov
eminent, says the report.

TALK CLAIMS
BIG SUCCESS

- Paris, Dec Fl, Is. 50 a, m-)-T'he
Athens correspondent of the Figaro
sends an interview secured from NJ.
YenizeIos, former Greek premier, con-
corning the recent parliamentary cleo
tions in Greece i'll which the adherents
of NJ. Gounaris, minister Of the inter-
Tor, were successful and in which the
Venizelos party abstained III most
cases from going to the polls. The
correspondent quotes M. Venizelos as
follows:
The elections were a brilliant tri-
umph of my policy and ideas, A great
majority of the voters abstained from
voting. I am entitled to say that the
verdict was still more categorical than
that of last May. It is in vain that
my opponents attempt TO explain the
abstentions by the mobilization. 1t
must not be forgotten that We had a
hundred thousand men with the colors
last May and that the army voted in
the present elections at several cen
ters and that the part of the army
which could not vote contained a large
number of my party. In certain poll
ing stations only three votes were re-
corded"
The correspondent says that he was
also received by NJ. Gounaris and the
other ministers who maintained that
the elections were conducted in free
and open manner and that the number
Of abstentions was normal
The Athens correspondent of the
Havas agency has the following TO say
concerning the political situation in
/ Greece:
When parliament reassembles
states of siege probably will be voted
in order to stop the merciless attacks
on the governments policy. NJ, Gou-
naris insists that the present cabinet
remain, but unless the situation
changes through the kings interven-
ton, d reconstruction of the cabinet
probably will occur"
