 Number Answer
JOHN W. OWEN.

Washington, September 2s.-Frequent calls for a quorum in the House today held up progress of the administration emergency power bill. Four calls were made during the session, with as many as 2Q0 members answer ing present, though most of the time but a small part of them were in their seats
 Disturbed by the small attendance, Representative Sims of Tennessee, dem ocrat, in charge of the bill. called mem bers to task for their absence from the chamber. His praise for the republic ans for attendance and for not seeking to delay the measure led Representa- tive Nichols of North Carolina, an- other democrat, to inquire whether the Tennessee member was making a demo- cratic or republican speech, which Mir. Sims answered by saying ne was "mak- ing patriotic speech in the interest of the country"
 Consideration of the bill centered about the provision authorizing in- stallation of machinery in existing electric plants to increase their ca pacity, but no action was taken. The House passed an amendment broaden ing the provision so far as to include plants making coke and other coal by products

Goodbye Curling Iron!
 Better Method Found

Don't burn the life out of your hair with that instrument of torture tho curling iron. There is nothing that will so surely dry out and break off the hair, giving it that ragged, unkept ap- pearance.
 You will be glad to learn that you can keep your hair beautifully wavy and curly by using a perfectly harmless liquid known to druggists as "silmer- inc" You need only apply little with a clean tooth brush before retiring and in the morning you will be most agree ably surprised with the effect. And this effect lasts for a considerable time, even in damp weather. so a small bot tie goes a long way and Is quite econo- mica1 to use Pure slim crime is really beneficial to the hair and there is no greasiness. stickiness or anything un- pleasant about it. It Is good idea to divide the hair into strands and moisten these one at time, drawing the brush down the full length

ADVANTAGE RECOGNIZED

London, September 2S.-London morn ing newspapers, while considering that an armistice is not necessary prelimi- nary to a discussion of peace, recog- nizes~the advantages of a separate peace with Bulgaria. They insist however, on the carrying out of the allied policy in the Balkans and the safeguarding of the interests of Serbia, Rumania and Greece.
 If Bulgaria wants to negotiate. we are willing, but it is not likely an armis- tice will be granted, says the Daily Chronicle.
 The only possible guarantees, declares the Daily Telegraph, are the surrender of the Bulgarian armies and the sub mission of the Bulgarian people to the allies, who seek justice and not ven- geance.''
 The allied governments, the Daily Ex- press says will not pay too big price for the distinct advantage of a separate peace and they will not forget Serbia. The Times declares it is for the com manders in the field to deal with the present proposal
