.L0lD GIVES REASON
FOR RESIGNING
! id Not Agree With DUPONT
Company Officials
AS To Policy
He HAS MADE NO
PLANS FOR FUTURE

George Frank Lord, who several
a,s ago resigned as direstor Of the ad-
Using division OF the dupont Com
after number OF years service
the company, In a statement, says
reasons for resignlng were mat ne
ANA some Of the officials OF the company
did not agree as 10 the future policy OF
his department.
In his statement Mr. Lord outlines
The history Of the growth OF the adver-
Using division Of the company. The
statement follows:
since the duPonts entered the pow
der business, about III years ago, up
until recently their products have been
marketed In bulk. or wholesale. and all
heir advertising was conducted with
.his end in view. At the outbreak OF the
European war large plants were cstab-
.ished throughout the country and
other lines OF production were engaged
in, which called for a great deal OF ad-
vcrtisins and a big outlay In this de-
pariment.
Upon the signing Of the arrnlstice
r. l. dupont de Nemours q Co found
themselves with large number or
these plants on hand, and the question
arose as 10 Advertising policy; that is.
whether 90 go along the old lines and
continue 20 advertise the sale Of their
commodities in bulk or whether 10
branch out on the new lines cOntem-
plated. which would mean the adyertis-
ing Of their products for sale along
merchandising or retail methods. The
more conservative heads OF the COM
pany insisted on adhering 10 cOnserva-
tive policies said Mr.. Lord "and felt
that had lost my usefulness TO the
advertising division. and this was my
only reason for reslgnlng."
Mr. Lord stated that last year the
advertising and sales forces spent
about a million and a quarter dollars,
and the pans he had contemplated
would mean a greatly increased expen-
dliure for the coming year. The con
servatives in the company. he stated,
we're opposed TO- the plan and favored
adherence 10 old methods.
Mr.. Lord said he had made no plans
for the future, and that the reasons
given were the only ones for severing
his relations with the company.

SIGHT OF NUDE
WOMAN FAILSTO
HALT FIRING men
Spy Fails to Win Repdeve
From Officer Commanding
Soldiers Ready to
Shoot Her.

London, April ga graphic
tory is related respecting the in
spiration for Sir William "Opens
now famous painting, THE Refu-
gee"
The picture is said to be portrait
of Frieda Meter, young Hungarian
woman who made her way into the
region occupied by the allies on the
western front, captivated many
French and Belgian officers with her
beauty and liveliness-and was tried
and executed for being German
spy.
The story is ascribed to Robert
Nichols, the young British poet, who
gave the following account CT Frieda
Meters death scene:
Under the mask of refugee
from the despotism of Hungarian
rule, Frieda Meter came to Belgium,
where for more than two years, al
though constantly under suspicion as
a spy, she managed to evade arrest.
The secret of her success was the
charm she exercised over the French
and Belgian officers. She was raw
ishing beauty. with masses of goAen
hair and innocent blue eyes. There
was not an officer with whom she
came in contact who did not fall vic
tim to her bewitching face and for L.
But, as is true of all spies, she
finally overreached herself and drew
to the notice of the intelligence de-
partment evidence of her operations
too clear to be misunderstood.
"She was tried by military court
and ordered to be shot at the dawn
of thy following day. She accepted
the findings without emotion and
without protest, but she SAID she had
one request to make OF the court.
This was that she be permitted to
face her executioners in costume
of her own choosing. The request
was granted.
THE following morning Frleda
Meter was led into the courtyard of
an ancient chateau and was confront
ed by a firing squad commanded by
all officer who, before her exposure,
had long been an ardent admirer.
She wore a magnificent cloak of
dark blue velvet trimmed with fur,
which completely covered her. She
did not flutter an eyelid. but was as
cool and self-possessed as though
she had not a care in the world She
had nothing to say. The firing squad
formed itself about 20 PAGES from
her. She was not even blindfoided.
"'Get ready! rang out the officers
command.
"The soldiers raised their rifles.
Gomez
"Twop the officer continued
sharply.
with the word two the beautiful
woman threw off her cloak, letting
It fall slowly to the ground, and re-
vealed herself nude to the astonished
officer and men.
ct was clear in an instant to the
officer that the spy had sought by
this display of her compelling beauty
to win from him a reprieve. There
was pause for q moment, when the
officers resolute voice again was
heard this time uttering the fateful
Threer
There was a crash of rifles, and
Frieda Meter fell in heap to the
ground, her career ended

"The Girl Of the Golden Apple
Great care should be given the
neck. 1t is easier to protect the neck
from cold, the sun and dust than the
face Ribbons and furs worn around
the neck should be carefully selected
as they often contain substances de.
leterious TO the skin.
II you can stand it always leave the
neck uncovered. Everything that re-
stricts or tightens it tends to make
the face red.
Frequently massage your neck. The
process for the neck is the same as
that for other parts Of the body. AL
ways use certain gentleness. The
different procedures are: Gently
stroking, pressing, kneading, patting,
beating, pinching and shaking th:
skin. Et,.3 - )l -: =
Exercise your neck. Do this by
bending the head every night and
morning ten times to the right and
ten times to the left. Also bend the
head backwards and forward the same
number Of times. This will improve
the blood circulation and the color OF
the skin, give fullness if the neck
is thin and reduce an excess Of fat If
there be any.
