shown some favors in former years.
The ex, being temporarily flush with
money, invited Bill to have lunch with

The ex offered the bill of fare to
Bill, and the waiter, having taken his
order, handed the French menu card
to the ex. He looked at it a moment,
puzzled at the strange hyeroglyphics,

Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant-Try
the Moist Cloth.

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you cannot find single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No differ
ence how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazing-your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance of abundance; an incom-
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's

ON WATCH TO KEEP
ARMS FROM MEXICO
Some MunitiOn Manufacturers
Under Suspicion.
THE EMBARGO TIeHTENED
Any Attempt BY American Firms To
Furnish Munitions To Mexican
Factions To Be Met BY Prompt
and Vigorous Prosecution.

Washington. - Vigorous steps to
ment of arms and ammunition into
Mexico doomed up as one result of the
German-J apanese-Mex plot revela-
tons.
Evidence in the hands of the State
|, Department as to efforts to evade the
embargo and to furnish munitions to
various Mexican factions by American
firms will be the basis for prompt and
vigorous prosecutions by the Depart
ment of Justice. 1t was learned that
State Department Investigations have
uncovered widespread plan by vari-
Gus munition manufacturers to get
their product into Mexican hands.
A cartridge mill was recently estab-
hshed in Mexico through Japanese in
terests. The State Department, how
ever, takes the position that the estab-
lishment Of this plant was fully with
in the rights of the Japanese interests
involved and is convinced that the
cartridge mill was for the use of the
de facto government in Mexico, in
connection with a general munition
plant operated by that government.
The Japanese mill, with Japanese ex-
perts to start its operation, was landed
in Mexico and set UP, according to the
State Department evidence.
Evidence in the hands of the State
Department as to the efforts of Ameri-
can manufacturers to get arms and
ammunition into Mexico despite the
embargo, will be turned over to the
Department of Justice. Where the
funds came from that were to pay for
these shipments could not be learned.
The State Department refused to make
any further statements regarding the
German plot revelations Eat this time"
1t was stated that the sources of all
information must be protected and IL
was apparent that the department ex-
poets further information.
Another cartridge mill for use in
Mexico was held up in the United
States, according to evidence before
the State Department. An effort was
made to ship this mill from Brooklyn,
but agents of the State Department
and Department of Justice intercept
ed the shipment which is now de-
tanned at the New York port.
Reports of the establishment of
German submarine base in the Gulf of
Darien, near Panama, were received in
Washington with little surprise. Coun-
selor Polk, of the State Department,
said that the department had no "offi-
cial" information on the subject. 1t
was known, however, that unofficial
reports of German naval activity in
the Caribbean have been received at
the department, and that these reports
have been under investigation

BRITISH LOST 1929 FEBRUARY.
Total Half AS Large AS For January
But Greater For Officers.

London-British casualties during
February reached total of 1,243 Off

The February figures show a total
but little more than half that for jan
uary, despite the fact that there has
been considerable fighting on the
Somme front during the month. The
February total of 1923 compares with
a total of 32,354 officers and men for
January. Officer casualties for Febru-

er than for the month preceding, when
they were $50, as compared with the

Government Paralyzed.
'The Senate has no rules by which
debate can be limited or brought to an
end, no rules by which dilatory tactics
of any kind can be prevented. A sin
gle member can stand in the way of
action if he have but the physical en-
durance. The result in this case is
complete paralysis alike of the leg
islative and of the executive branches
of the Government.
This inability of the Senate to act
has rendered some of the most neces-
sary legislation of the session impos-
sible, at time when the need for it
was most pressing and most evident.
The bill which would have permitted
such combinations of capital and of
organization in the export and import
trade of the country as the circum-
stances of international competition
have made imperative-a bill which
the business judgment of the whole
country approved and demanded-has
failed.
"The opposition of one or two Sen
ators has made it impossible to in
crease the membership of the Inter
state Commerce Commission or to give
it the altered organization necessary
for it's efficiency. The Conservation
bill which should have released for i'm
mediate use the mineral resources
which are still locked up in the public
lands, now that their release is more
imperatively necessary than ever, and
the bill which would have made the

Action Now Impossible.
at would not cure the difficulty to
call the sixty Congress in extraor-
binary session. The paralysis of the
Senate would remain. The purpose
and the spirit of action are not lacking
now. The Congress is more definitely
united in thought and purpose at this
moment, l venture to say, than it has
been within the memory of any man
now in it's membership. There is not
only the most united patriotic purpose,
but the objects members have in view
are perfectly clear and definite But
the Senate cannot act unless it's lead
ers can obtain unanimous consent. its
majority is powerless, helpless. In
the midst of crisis of extraordinary
peril, when only definite and decided
action can make the nation safe or
shield it from war itself by the aggres-
sion of others, action is impossible.
But One Remedy.
1.-THE Senate of the United States is
the only legislative body in the world
which cannot act when its majority is
ready for action. a. little group OF
willful men, representing no opinion
but their own, have rendered the great
Government of the United States help
less and contemplate.
1.-THE remedy? There is but one rem
edy. The only remedy is that the rules
of the Senate shall be so altered that
it can act. The country can be relied
upon to draw the moral. l believe that
the Senate can be relied on to supply
the means of action and save the coun-
try from disaster"

WILSON Baked BY
THE F|L|BUsTER
President Says He Cannot Arm
Merchant Ships.
TO COUNTRY
Denounces Fiibuster Of "Little Group
OF WilIfuI Men Representing
No Opinion But Their
Own

Washington. - President Wilson
Sunday night informed the country, in
a statement, that he may be without
power to arm merchant ships and take
other steps to meet the German sub
marine menace. in the absence of au-
thority from Congress.
An extra session of Congress, the
President says, is required to clothe
him with authority, but it is useless to
call one while the Senate works under
the present rules which permit a small
minority to keep an overwhelming ma
jority from acting.
The President proposes, therefore,
that the special session of the Senate
which he has called to meet Monday,
revise the rules to supply the means
of action and save the country from
disaster"
Situation Unparalleled.
The Presidents statement in full
follows:
"The termination of the last session
of the Sixty-fourth Congress by con-
stitutional limitation discloses situa-
ton unparalleled in the history of the
country, perhaps unparalleled in the
history OF any modern government. In
the immediate presence of crisis
fraught with more subtle and far
reaching possibilities of national dan
ger than any other the Government
has known within the whole history
of it's international relations, the Con-
gress has been unable to act either to
safeguard the country or to vindicate
the elementary rights of it's citizens.
More than 500 of the SCI members Of
the two houses were ready and anxious
to act; the House of Representatives
had acted by an overwhelming major
ity, but the Senate was unable to act
because little group Of eleven Sen
ators, had determined that it should
not
