Photographer Says
Powder on Nose Bad
For Picture Of Girls

Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. H.-Will
h. Towles of Washington, D. c..
addressing the annual convention of
the Photographers association of
the middle Atlantic states here to-
day, declared that if girls want to
look beautiful in a photograph they
must not powder their faces. He
said powder f1attens the expression
and obliterates the lines necessary
to bring out beauty and character
when posing for a photograph.
They might look whole lot
better without shiny nose to the
human eye, but not to the eye of
the camera" he added.

Earl Curzon's views on eastern

T. P. O'Connor's Statement.
T. p. OConnor, in statement to
the Associated Press said:
"A great section of American citi-
zens who | know will be amazed at
this reversal of policy, will join the
British public i'll demanding that this
betrayal of Christianity. and civiliza-
ton be not affected.
Mr.. O'Connor deplored that Amer
ica was unable to accept the mandate
for Constantinople "for" he added
acceptance by the United States of
that mandate would insure just
tolerant and disintcrested admins
tration against which could not be
ranged European jealousies, that
would inevitably follow should SIM
liar powers be placed in the hands
of any European government"
Agony of the Flesh"
Mr.. O'Connor called attention to
Premier Lloyd Georges work III
condemnation of the Turks in 1914,
in which he characterized the Turk
as "a. human cancer creeping
agony of the hesh," and he declared
he was "glad the Turk was to be
called to account for his long record
of infamy against humanity"
The situation, said Mr.. O'Connor,
is the same today, adding:
There is no justification for Civ
ing these vandals the right to con
tinue butchering subject peoples"
Mr.. O'Connor advocated the plac.
ing of Constantinople under the
guardianship of the league of ma
tions, asserting that internationaliza-
ton of the straits was an insufficient
guarantee.

MARSHALL SAYS
Would Refuse Entrance to

To Make Permanent
Homes in u. S.

New York, Feb. 2l.-Alens who
come to Ames;ca mot intending to
make permanent homes, but expect
ing to return, should not be re-
ceived," Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall declared here in an address
at dinner given by the Sulgrave
institution in celebration of the ter
centenary of the Pilgrim Fathers.
This country, lie added, should no
longer "be loved for its opportunities
Alone" but should "be loved for its
institutions as we'll"
One of the lessons of the Pilgrim
Fathers that should be Stamped
upon the heart of every liberty-lov-
ing American" said Mr.. Marshall
SIS that they came to Plymouth to
worship God and to make homes,
determined never to return to Eu-
rope"
These Pilgrims were English
speaking people," he continued, "ani
from their forgotten graves they
ought never to stretch forth their
hands and touch the sleeve of an
American elector who does not
speak the English language. -
In these troublous times, when
freedom of speech is being used for
the purpose of forcibly undermining
the government of the United States,
it is well to remember that the gov
ernment of the fathers is unfit to sur
vive If it is powerless to prevent un-
lawful assaults upon its authority.
Eulogizing the Pilgrim Fathers
tor their great accomplishments,
Vice President Marshall said:
The Pilgrims are the life of the
republic like the very air we breathe,
impalpable and unseen, yet without
them the republic might not have
been"

Balk Every Effort for
Compromise on Treaty

Of these, Senators Ashurst, Arizona
Fletcher, Florida; Henderson. Neva-
Ga, and Nugent Idaho, had stood
OH all previous roll calls steadfastly
against any qualification of the
treaty.
One of the four, Senator Ashurst,
announced to the senate beforehand
his intention to go over to the reser-
vationists Having become convinced
that ratification of some sort was a
prime necessity, he said he was ready
to vote for any reservation or
amendment that will ratify this
treaty.
IF we'll vote our own convictions
and not those of the president he
told his democratic colleagues, we'll
have treaty"
Have Majority in Senate.
1t was by a bare majority, 80 to
81, that the senate rejected the
change in the reservation framed
BIZ republican leaders and submitted
by Senator Lodge as a part of his
compromise plan Under the amend
ment either the president or a ma
jo-ity of congress could have given
notice of the nations withdrawal, a
modification which Senator Hitch
cock OF Nebraska, the administra-
ton leader. denounced as making
the reservation more Objectionable
than it had been before.
Explaining his course in offering
notifications, Senator Lodge de-
clared that most OF them were "un-
important" and reiterated his ul-
timatum to the democrats that
neither the reservation to article
10 nor that relating to the Monroe.
doctrine eyer could be materially
changed. IF the democrats still
were determined to block ratifica-
ton, unless there were material
changes ii' those provisions, the ma
jority leader said. then the senate's
sideration of the treaty might as
we'll be brought to an end.
Out for Some Days Now.
Under present plans, the treaty
will not be before the senate again
for several days, the leaders having
set aside the beginning of next week
for consideration of the railroad bill
and possibly tariff legislation. The
next reservation OH the list is the
all-important' article 10 provision,
but once the treaty does come up
again it is the intention to put this
reservation over until others have
been disposed of. In some quarters,
however. i. was suggested that
these plans might be rearranged
when the leaders had weighed to-
days developments and a show
down be asked for next week on ar
ticle 10.

The peasantry has been educated in

of protecting their food supplies from

made TO drain mosquito pools or
marshes, so that the Balkan States
claim the distinction of having some
or the worst malariai sections on earth.
