 Stone proceeded against Roosevelt. whom he termed the Kaiser's most valuable ally in America and a man who should be jailed. In course of the general castigation, he dug his spur into the bulky Penrose and other re- publicans whom he charged were play ing politics
 Penrose. in reply. charged in effect that the President was a self -constitu- ted dictator and an arrogant egotist swho insists on a personal representa- tive in the form of a Texts lobbyist. Lodge defended Roosevelt. and insisted that if he should be charged with treason, the administration should be bold enough to arrest him. Senator Lewis spoke bitterly of Penrose and insisted that the Pennsylvanian should not charge House with being a lob byist unless he could prove his charges.
 That, in effect. was the debate which startled the country. It is admitted that within itself it was as nothing. In it's consequences. however, 1t is de- stined, according to opinion, to engen- der lasting friction at time when everybody in public life should be pull ing together.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, January 26.-Trading in stocks this week was mainly infiu- enced by the many additional restric- tions resulting from the government conservation policy.
 Dealings were at all times moderate and largely professional, as was evi- denced by the unusual prominence of numerous specialties including low priced equipments and other issues of more obsolete origin.
 The latest speech of the German chancellor furnished the basis of fur ther conjecture respecting peace pros pects but foreign exchange rates from this center were so little altered as to convey no definite information of important programmes.
 Milder weather was decidedly more helpful In bringing partial relief to freight congestion. but the industrial situation suffered further setback from shortage of fuel and labor.
 The dividend policy of the more in- portant manufacturing companies is likely to be shaped by the directors of the United States Steel corporation who meet next week to declare a dis bursement on the common stock.
 Call money was easier and In more abundant supply than at any time since the furry of last month. but time funds are expected to remain scarce pending announcement of the terms of the next liberty loan.

Washington. January 26.-(Special) While apparently the warmest friend ship exists between Secretary Lane and mer are holding the latter responsible for the industrial collapse which made the "worlSless and heatless" days neces- sary.
 Last June, as is recalled, Secretary Lane. after long conferences with the coal operators of the nation, reached an agreement whereby the operators. stimulated by increased selling prices, would heartily cooperate with the gov errment not only in the production of coal, but in the opening of new mines
 feature of the Lane scheme was the inauguration of a propaganda to induce householders to buy coal early and stock their cellars against the possibility of a rigorous winter.
 Secretary Baker immediately after that agreement, assisted by Secretary Daniels, proceeded against what Secretary Lane had accomplished and succeeded after strenuous effort in vitiating the agree ment. This action was followed by the appointment of Dr. Garfield, who re- duced the margin of profit possible for operators to receive. and indirectly urged the people to postpone the buying of coal because of the promise that the price of coal would be reduced.
 This is the situation. It resulted in the beginning in coolness between the Secretary of the Interior and the Sec retary of War It resulted further- more, according to the contention of the friends of Secretary Lane, in an indus trial collapse. and the people facing the bitterest winter in many years with out coal in their cellars.
 Secretary Lane has declined for obvious reasons to comment. but it is known | that he believes that had his agreement been permitted to stand, the present na- ton-wide distress would have been made l impossible.

Capital Stock Tax

Many corporations are under the iin- pression that the call from Washing ton for statements of business, in orr der that the capital stock tax may be fixed and collected, Is for all cor porations doing business in Alabama. This is not the case. It applies only to those corporations who failed to file their statements prior to July 31. last year. The government has fixed February 1 as the last day and a pen alty thereto has been fixed for fail- ure.
 This tax. it Is stated. should not be confused with the income or excess profit tax. as many are inclined to get them mixed up. It applies to those cor porations with capital stock of S7b. 900 or over in value, and they should have filed their statements last Jnly. If they have not done so. they are now liable to the penalty after February 1.

FOR SKINS AFFECTED
 BY WINDS AND WEATHER

This is the season when she who would have spotless, lily-white. satiny complexion should turn her thoughts to mercolized wax, the firm friend or the winter girl Nothing so effectually overcomes the despoiling effects of piercing winds and biting cold tempera- tures The wax literally absorbs tho chapped, reddened or coarsened cuticle. bringing forth brand new skin, clear, soft and girlishly beautiful. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, applied nightly like cold cream, ly improve the worst complexion.
 She who coddles herself all day in an overloaded house and finds her skin flushed and flabby as consequence, can quickly freshen up for the evening by just bathing her face in a lotion made by dissolving an ounce of pow el. She'll find this most refreshing. It smooths out wrinkles and draws in tho saggy tissue.-Adv.
