Care Of the Complexion No Longer
Coquehy, But Good Grooming
Do You Know You Change

and time, the sun seems to be
the most destructive. That is,
it's effects are so rapid and far
reaching that particular care
has to be exercised in summer
time.
When the bathing season is at
its height, a girl whose skin is
prone to easily burn or freckle
may save herself by adopting
a method of prevention. She will
have to devote extra attention,
particularly to the face, arms
and neck, which are mostly ex-
posed.
No girl, no matter how hardy
her skin, should attempt to in
dulge in sea bath without pre-
pairing herself to withstand the
suns strong rays. The one who
has a good skin should appre-
ciate this gift and the one who
has not should realize the nee
essity Of cultiyating IL.
How to Use Cold Cream.
OF first Importance is the use
of good cream well rubbed
into the skin before going into
the water, so that the natural
oil that will be eliminated by
the salt water will be readily
replenished.
Secondly, be sure and wear a
bathing suit that is not so tight
a l. -
that causes blisters, therefore
anything that rubs. no matter
how slightly, is apt to cause a
tender skin to break.
After the bath. IL there is the
slightest Indication of soreness,
good salve should be imme-
diately rubbed in. II the skin
should have become broken, it
must be protected with a piece
Of antiseptic cotton before COW
ering with any clothing.
Before Retiring.
At night, before retiring. the
face should be gently massaged

unsightly lines may be easily

skin, just as wrinkles in clothes,
are caused by creasing the skin,
and not smoothing it out. First
there will be a light line, then
continued contraction without
relaxation will cause a deeper
crease. and eventually unsightly
permanent wrinkles appear.

HOUSE CHIEFS ACCEPT
SENATE PEACE MEASURE

Republican leaders in the House
agreed today to accept the peace
resolution as adopted by the Senate
as a substitute for the House reso-
luton. and decided tentatively to call
it up Friday for final action.
House concurrence in the Senate
measure will be asked by Chairman
Porter of the House foreign affairs
committee. and leaders said that the
republican majority will adopt his
motion. which will send the peace
resolution to the President.
While some House republicans pre-
ferred the text of their resolution
they were said to be willing to ac-
cept the Senate plan rather than force
the peace resolution before the Sem
ate again by conference report, which
would give its democratic opponents
an opportunity of delaying it's pre-
sentation to President Wilson.

Discussion Of the German peace
treaty and the league Of nations fiared
up again in the Senate today, Senator
Borah. republican, of idaho, asserting
that the leagues influence in Europe
had been supplanted by that of the
supreme council.
The attractiveness of the United
States Treasury as source of
revenue for the financing Of future
European wars was the only reason
for the continued effort to entice this
country into the league, he said.
Presents Fosdick Article.
The discussion was precipitated by
Senator McKellar, democrat, of Ten
nessee. who read into the Record an
er assistant secretary general of the
league, purporting to outline what
had been accomplished by the league.
Senator McKellar said he read the
article because it showed that the
United States was sitting back and
being relegated to a position in the
rear" while the other nations were
taking part in world affairs.
Senator Borah said he got some
comfort out of the Fosdick article by
the fact the state of Georgia differs
from Mr.. Fosdick,' and added it was
"safc to say that the San Francis isco
convention will not indorse Mr.. Fos-
dicks views"
Power Behind League.
"The great moving power behind
the league from the beginning has
been international finance" Senator
Borah said.

Colorado said the league seemed to be

tractive member"
