Face Peeling Easy
Blonde or Brunette

1.-THE blondes complexion fades early,
because her skin is extraordinarily thin
and fine" says Nine. Lima Cavalieri. The
brunette's, as rule is the reverse. The
skin is thicker and has a tendency to an
oily appearance"
For either the faded blondes skin or the
brunette's oily or sallow complexion, the
best remedy is ordinary mercolized wax.
Used every night, this will give one an en-
tirely new complexion within about
weeks time. The wax gradually peels off
the worn-out surface skin, with all its de-
fects, little each day. without affecting
the delicate underskin in the least. The
glow of youth-indeed, one may readily
lose ten or fifteen years from her age, so
far as appearance goes, by a course OF
this simple treatment. The wax, procur-
able at any drug store. is applied like cold
cream

Union Labor Chiefs
To Hold Conference

Washington, Oct. 2o-"Funda
mental principles" upon which or
gained labor may combat grave
dangers affecting the very founda-
ton of its structure" are to be
formulated at conference of union
chiefs in Washington, December 49,
Formal call for the conference has
been sent to the union leaders over
the country. 1t was signed by the
members of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
and the chiefs of the railroad
brotherhoods, who explained that
the farmers representatives who sat
with these union officials Saturday
did not feel that they had authority
to sign the call.
However. it was stated that the
National Farmers organizations,
now in session or soon to meet,
would be invited to send delegates
with full power to act for those or
carnations. 1t is the purpose of the
union leaders to form an alliance
with the farmers organizations for
the carrying out of the campaign
which will be mapped out.
Regarding purposes of the con-
ference, the call said that it was
imperative" that labor's representa-
tives adopt a program which the
wage earners will accept in perform
ing their duties as citizens, and at
the same time maintaining the right
OF free men in order to conserve
human interest and welfare.

PALMER DECIDES TO
ENFORCE DRY LAW
Acknowledgement Declares 1t
His Duty to Prosecute
All Violations.
Special Despatch TO TIE SuS.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Formal no.
tice was served tonight by the Attorney
General that his department of the Gov.
eminent would take 1t upon itself not only
to enforce wartime prohibition. which
becomes effective July 1, but also TO
enforce the law prohibiting the use Of
foodstuffs in manufacturing any sort of
liquor for beverage purposes after May /.
With this announcement Attorney
General Palmer declared that pending
litigation over the legality Of brewing
beer after May 1 would not serve as pro-
lection to the brewers, who later might
be ad1udged TO have violated the law
Mr.. Palmer also admitted that the en-
forcement of constitutional prohibition,
effective January next. was a matter
which would require additional legisla-
tive action before It can be made efrec-
tive. His statement follows:
There has been n good deal OF mis-
understanding OF the plans and pur-
poses of the Department OF Justice with
reference to the enforcement of the So
called wartime prohibition law and, /
am sorry to say, some misuuo tations
probably unintentional. of a respectable
officer OF the Government with respect
thereto.
Congress as a war measure enacted
that after May I. 1919. 1t shall be un-
lawful to use food or fruit products in
the production of beer. wine or other
intoxicating malt or vinous liquor for
beverage purposes and after July i,
1919. 1t shall be unlawful to sell such
liquors for beverage purposes except for
nrf hA - l. 80
until the termination OF the period OF
rehabilitation.
''As long as the act remains in force
under its terms It becomes my duty to
see that II is enforced like all other
avs. by tive prosecution of such persons
as violate It II is my duty TO do this
without regard whatever for my own
opinion as to the wisdom or unwisdom
of the legislation which is a matter en-
tirely for Congress. There has nat
urally been some difference of opinion as
to the construction of the act. but the
final word with respect to its nterpreta-
ton is'with the courts. whose Judgment
Will be cheerfully acquiesced In by all
interests involved.

opo1ot DcepotCn 70 Sun.
WASHINGTON. April 27.-The Ship
ping Board Is rapidly formulating plans
not only to get away from ship opera
ton but shipbuilding by the Govern
ment. The board has Just created a
plant disposal section which will be
charged with the heavy responsibility Of
seiiing the Government interest in wood,
steel and concrete shipbuilding yards.
The new section II to be directed by r.
Z. Grant, engineer of the shipyards plant
poration.
The Government interest in huge ship
building yards. built up to meet the war
emergency, totals several hundred mill
lions of dollars All OF them will be
placed on the market and sold with a
minimum OF loss.
The new division will begin first on
Its hardest task. The wooden ship yards
are to be disposed Of Immediately
Wherever possible they will be disposed
OF as going concerns. but It IL realized
that most OF them will have to be con-
verted to other uses than shipbuildinig
or abandoned entirely. With the other
yards every effort will be made to place
them In private hands as going con-
Germs.
Every precaution will be taken by the
and materials and to dispose of the
Interest to private individuals Of known
business integrity and Industrial mana
gerial ability. Despite its best efforts.
however the new organization probably
will have to face much criticism for
losses sustained. particularly with re-
spect to the wooden ship building yards.
Some few of them are planning to go
ahead building tugs and barges. but
they will even in this work have to
stand steel and concerto competition.
II Is generally recognized that the wood
yard as such will have to close up.
Government contracts with all OF them
have been cancelled since the armistice
was signed. These yards will be i'm
mediately placed on the open market
and sold TO the highest bidder. Some Of
them in which the Government holds
no interest are to be dismantled and
junked. The plant disposal section will
try to avoid this result with those in
which the Emergency Fleet Corporation
has an investment. Some OF them will
be turned to industrial uses, but the
plans contemplated have not been made
public.
The steel yards that will be placed
on the market will be sold to individuals
who wish to engage in the manufacture
OF steel ships.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
owns seven concrete yards. valued at
about $1,000 600 each. These yards
were just coming into production when
the war ended. \ private corporation
has made an offer to buy one OF them

and provide the shipping for exporting
such products as their countries are able
to manufacture.
The official explanation OF the plan
continues:
THE commissions, Mr.. Hoover points
out, with the advances being provided
by the United States Government could
purchase food supplies In the United
States. transport these food supplies into
their own countries and sell them to
their populations. With the funds thus
securely the commissions can purchase
various commodities In their own coun-
tries for export. These commodities,
then sold in the markets Of France. Eng
land. the United States and elsewhere.
will replenish the funds Of the commits
sions. Ultimately. with the growth of
export productivity. the commissions
should become self supporting.
AT first II will be necessary, no doubt.
for the commissions to limit themselves
TO the purchase OF foodstuffs and only
those most critically essential raw ma
terials. Mr.. Hoover emphasizes the fact
that these countries are not entirely de-
pendent on the United States for their
food supplies.
TN Spain, France. England and other
countries there are food markets. Dur
ing the life Of these commissions private
merchant firms in the respective coun-
tries should be encouraged to import and
export commodities and to create their
own private credits In countries abroad
for these purchases. In this way Mr..
Hoover thinks that the commissions
could retire in six or eight months in
favor OF normal commerce. which would
be the third and final stage of economic
recovery.
During the period while the Govern
ments Of Rumania, Poland. Serbia and
Czecho-Slovakia are establishing these
commissions It Is Mr.. Hoovers plan that
the American Relief Administration
should function In the relief of these
countries as at present"
