Americans Will
 Promote Trade
 With Holy Land

New York, March 25-Formation of S5,0O0,000 corporation, the American Palestine Company, to pro- mote commerce and industry on a large scale in the Holy Land, was announced here last night at a din- ner attended by 250 of New York's leading Jewish business men, inter ested in the project for the immediate development of Palestine by Ameri- can methods. Louis Marshall pre- sided at the dinner.
 Dr. s. BenderIy, managing director of the company, who recently return ed froman extended survey of indus trial and commercial conditions in Palestine, in outlining the plans of the company, said:
 ''There are a number of industries in Palestine, but they are hardly above the primitive stage. They lack both the mechanical and financial facilities of the modern industrial centre. Under Turkish rule, capital was afraid to enter Palestine. Now with an era of safety, stability and progress inaugurated by Sir Herbert Samuel British High Commissioners governing under the mandate granted Great Britain at the San Rero con- ference, conditions have changed.
 Existing industries in Palestine need capital and modern business or ganization. The American Palestine Company will supply these needs by
 
 stalling central power plants, pur- chasing large-scale machinery and raw materials for manufacturers, ad- vancing them credit on their manu- factured goods and organizing their sales operations"
 Dr. Benderly stressed the point that the company was an organiza- ton of business men,. that it would be operated on a strictly business basis, with per cent return on the investment, so that adequate cap ita1 could be secured at once to carry on the development of the Holy Land which the Jewish people, particular ly the persecuted and impoverished Jews of Eastern Europe, were given the opportunity of rebuilding as their national home under the terms of the British mandate
 Samuel c. Lamport, president of the company, announced that almost 2,0O0, 900 had already been sub scribed. Reuben Sandowsky, Israel Unterberg and Samuel Rottenberg are others of New York leading busi- ness men who helped organize the company.

VILLA NOT TO
 BE TEMPTED

Mexico City, March 2S-An attempt to enlist Francisco Villa,f the former bandit, in the Carranza revolutionary cabal against the Obregon govern ment has failed, according to the newspaper Las Noticias' today.
 This newspaper stated that a dele gation of former Carranzista army of ficers headed by Candido Aguilar, son in-law of the late president, called upon Villa at the latter'S ranch near Canutillo several days ago and asked thief ormer bandit to join Gen. F. Mur- gria in revolt in an effort to overturn the present administration.
 Villa was said to have listened to the overtures and then replied:
 ''When I was fighting alone no one helped me. When I had not single cartridge Murvuia pursued me with Federal troops. I have decided to re- main at peace permanently and Aguilar nor anyone else can shake me in this decision"
 It was reported that the Carranza revolutionary Junta had promised to make Villa chief of military opera tions in Chihuahua, Lower California Sinaola, Topic, Guadalajara, Cohuila and Durango.
 It was but recently reported that Villa was seriously ill of pnuemonia, but evidently this report was either wholly untrue or exaggerated

FARMERS GRAIN POOLING PLAN
 OUTLINED

Chicago, March 25.-Poo1ing of farmers grain, either on a national or local scale, constitutes the out standing feature of the national cc- operating marketing plan proposed by the Committee of Seventeen, Chair man C. H. Guatafson said here re- gently. explaining its details
 The committee. whose full name is the Farmers Grain Marketing Committee of Seventeen, is holding state meetings this month prepar- Chicago April 6. Tine committee represents cooperative organizations of farmers interested in grain mar keting, prominent among them the American Farm Bureau Federation.
 As an alternative to the pooling planS farmers may sell direct.
 'NTh!e national pooling plan calls for pooling grain with a central 2gen- cy, selling by grade and then distrib- uting the profits equally to each con tributor to the pool" MT. Gustafson said. t'This would insure the pro- ducer the average price for the year Pooling products in this manner has reached it's highest development among the California cooperative organizations.
 Products to pooled pass out of the control of the individual pro- ducer and the grain will be sold by the directors of the pool at the time that they deem most opportune.
 Provision is also made for, local
 
 munity. In both local and national pools the control is centralized and the selling price averaged.
 Direct Sales Beneficial
 'tThe direct sale plan allows farm CTS who so desire to bring their grain to the cooperative elevators and sell on the current market quotation as is done at the present time at pri- vately owned elevators Further, they can avail themselves of the ware housing facilities of the cooperative elevators and terminals and not sell until weeks or months later. Pro- ducers who dispose of their grain in this manner share equally in the profits of the warehouSing facilities, export corporation and other na- tional cooperative departments on the basis of the number of bushels which they deliver to the elevators.
 For those farmers who do not wish to enter a pool or to sell direct, there is another avenue of reaching the markets. One farmer or several farmers who have sufficient grain to make up one or more carloads. may consign grain by the carload through the cooperative elevator to co-opera- tive marketing agencies to be located at the different terminal markets.

In my last article I spoke prin- cipaIly of worsted flowers. but l also mentioned the popular crocheted bed spread. Today l want to do more honor to Inis latter article.
 A minute description is not neces- sary as most people know those de llyhtfuI bed coverings, but let us dis cuss in what surroundings they snow 10 the best advantage.
 As . rule they are made of rather heavy thread. Therefore they are better suited to rugged type of dec oration than to one light and friVol- Uus in style. For instance, a linen handmade spread does not harmon ize with rufled taffeta hanSinSs- It will look charming, however, in a colonial interior in which the simple dignity of the furniture suits its own sturdy charm
 There are several varieties of this spread. There is the design which shows alternating strips of the crochet lace. and linen material with a cro- cheted border. There is also the all- over pattern which is made entirely of the crochet work and scorns the solid material
 often the question arises to whether or not a colored slip should be used. Personally, I do not advo- rate them I believe the spread is far more attractive when only white ls placed beneath it.
 When such a spread is used in a room. the window hangings may be brought into harmony with it by be- Ing made of linen with a crochetel border

 "Indeed!" said Holmes, rising. I should not have the impertiflence to do it again after what you say But I should like to take little walk over the moor before it grows dark, that I may know my ground tomorrow and think that I shall put this horseshoe into my pocket for luck
 Colonel Ross, who had shown some ion's quiet and systematic method of work, glanced at his watch. "I wish you would come back with me In spector," said be. There are several points on which I should like your advice. and especially as to whether we do not owe it to the public to re- move our horses name from the err tries for the Cup"
 Certainly not" cried Holmes, with decision "I should let the name stand"
 The Colonel bowed. "I am very glad to have had your opinion, sir,' said he You will find us at poor Straker's house when you have fin ished your walk, and we can drive together into Tavisock."
 He turned back with the inspector, while Holmes and I walked slowly across the moor.

"Hullol" said he, sud denly. What this ?" It was a wax vesta half burned, which was so coat ed with mud that it looked at first like a little chip of wood.
 T cannot think how I came to overlook it," said the Inspector, with an expression of annoyance.
 Tt was invisible, buried in the mud. I only saw it because I was looking for it.'
 What! you expected to find it ?"
 T thought 1t not unlikely"
 He took the boots from the bag, and compared the impressions of each of them with marks upon the ground. Then he cIambered up to. the rim of the hollow. and crawled about among the ferns and bushes.

BEAUTY CHATS
By EDNA KENT FORBES.
A PRETn CHIN

The first way in which woman shows her age is in the line of her chin. When the chin line is no longer young the whole profile becomes mature or even middle-aged-
 The first thing is Q certin f1abbi- ness of appearance. The chin line no longer runs clean and pure from the soft round curve of the chin itself into the throat. At first the line seems a little uneven, a little slack. After some months, or some years, a very definite wrinkle appears just behind the chin, and a small pouch of fat collects from this place and changes the entire line. If a woman becomes too stout one wrinkle will form be- hind another, so that instead of the slim line of youth she has a whole series of these f1eshy pouches under the chin. If she is too thin the flesh itself will wrinkle up and hang loose ly where once it was properly elastic.
 If the chin is too stout this loose flesh should be rolled off by vigorous massage or sweated off by the use of hot cloths and oiled silk straps or rubber chin straps; or else ft should be driven away by the frequent use of ice messages. A combination of all three is frequently used, in any case the ice or equally good astringent should be employed to tighten the skin which has stretched to accomm modate the extra flesh.
 Meantime in order to keep the chin line young try the stretching exercise illustrated. Throw the head far back with the mouth open, then close the mouth thus stretching and exercising, and thereby strengthening, all the chin muscles.
 F'reckleS.-Freckles are spots of iron which the sun brings to the sur face. As this iron is in the blood, there is no way to stop freckles from forming. They are not disfiguring as they go with the type that has them and nature makes no mistakes in its combinations. You can bleach them with lemon juice or the extract from cucumberS.
 B. L.-Electric blue should be very becoming to you and after that, the deeper shades of blue. All the shades of brown will also be becoming. Rose pink will also be a good choice.

Answer: A yellow straw hat may be bleached to it's former whiteness by being exposed in a clos ed chamber to the fumes of burning sulphur. An old flour barrel is often used for this purpose. The sulphur is ignited on a clean coad shovel or on a metal dish placed on the ground. The hat, which has been sponged well in water, is hung in the barrel, then the barrel is turned over the burning sulphur and so left for a few hours.

Warm weather brings its dangers unless the house be kept sanitary and clear of rubbish. dust, and pest-at- tractors of all kinds.

 All plumbing should be closely in- spected. Every housekeeper should gain a sufficient knowledge of plumb ing to know how many traps there are in her house and just where these traps are situated; for, traps should be cleaned out from time to time.
