constitution and bylaws which were
adopted at the alrgely attended meet

VANITY BOXES OF yoRE.
Used by Etruscan Women Before Rome
Became a Power.


Recently excavations in Italy have I'M
dies of the Etrusean period, long before
sAe Romans came into power Among
these are vanity boxes. very much like
those of the present time These were
carried on a slender chain that fastened
to the girdle of the Etrilscan bellies and
contained sweet-scented pomades and 9th
er ''beau;ifiers'' with which they were
accustomed to dab their classic faces from
time to time.
One of the most interesting relics of
this fal-awsy day is hand mirror, shaped
exactly the same as those of our time
But instead OF glass, the Etrusean ladies
were compelled to depend upon a surface
of highly FURNISHED copper for a glimpse
of their loneliness
Although glass was in fairly common
use many years ago. it was not until re-
cent times that a clever mind thought Of
painting one side OF glass with prep.
aration that would cause it to reflect
whatever came before it. So in ancient
days milady was compelled to nse some
CLASSY pool or 4 bit Of Furnished copper
for her looking glass And both seem to
have served their purpose successfully II
is from these ancient hand mirrors o.
copper that We got the design for ON
modern cieatioh OF glaes

AMERICANS PLAN
/. ECONOMIC BOYCOTT
Measures to Support League
of Nations Devised
B.. by Experts a,g
SUGGESTION MADE
FOR WORLD BOARD
Would Watch for Unfair Trade Prac-
tees and Bring Down Punishment on
Offending Nations-Plan to Be Pub.
ncly Discussed Later.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ls-American
financial and trade representatives now in
Europe have devised extensive plans for
using the economic boycott as weapon
against nations falling to abide by DEGREES
Of the proposed league of nations. Ac-
cording 20 official Information here. they
are. preparing to urge. upon the peace con-
ference adoptionaof measures making pos
sible close international cooperation in
the application OF economic principles TO
replace the use of armed force to a great
extent
No specific machinery for putting into
effect measures of economic boycott has
been agreed upon, even by the American
| representatives, pending further develop
ment OF the plan Tor the league OF nations
| 1t has been suggested, however, that some
| sort of an international trade commission
| be established TO gather information con.
corning commercial, industrial and finan-
| cial operations OF each country.
Officials of the treasury department oil
commerce, and war trade board familiar
with the plans Of the American repre-
sentatives at Paris said this body might
be intrusted with powers to investigate
unfair trade practices, which might easily
develop into international irritation anc
war, as well as to set in motion the eco
monte forces against nations transgressinl
international agreements
Under the American plan. manipulation
of the supply of raw materials, the pur
chase OF manufactured products. and Fl
nancial arrangements between countrie
would be the principal means OF cffectin,
Ia boycott. II these measures cotsd b.
made thoroughly effective, American rep
resentatives believe. they would oftel
eliminate the necessity OF using arrncc
force.
The international commission also nigh
develop broad constructive power TO worl
out better plans for international tinai
ciai corporation, such as the establish
ment OF foreign exchange gold pool an
standardization Of the multitude OF trad
laws and practices The internationa
high commission, including only Mort
and South American nations, might b
taken as pattern for development {

Officials said the American plan, whic

J cussion, would necesitate continued q
operation between the government an
