Democratic women at city headquarters
in the Peoples Bank building at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon in an attempt to
restore harmony among the female mem-
bers of the party, no change in their

ems Club. led by its president, Miss Ju-
liza r. Landers, has been insisting that
representative Democratic women be rec

IL You Would Be Beautiful!
Have More Babies-DOctOr
Have Fewer Babies-Edit0r

PARIS, July 6-"American women
must have more babies If they wish to
retain their beauty" DR.. Brettman,
one of the foremost beauty surgeons
of Paris, declared in IN interview.
Contrary to what seems to be the
general impression in America, Brett
man said, motherhood really is not
only an aid to beauty, but is necessary
If a woman wishes to realize the acme
Of beauty.
Brettman declared that American
women also make. great mistake in
rearing their babies on bottles.
1.-THE glands which function during
maternity are connected with those in
the neck which govern the complex
ion" he explained. Restrict the
functioning OF one and you check the
functioning Of the entire system"
Brettman declared the effects of this
practice OF "evading the obligations Of
motherhood" were already evident, in
that it was becoming more uncommon
In America to find beautiful women Of
middle age
America is a country Of beautiful
girls, not beautiful women" he said.
"The American girl is wonderful.
She has q remarkable cOmplexionn,
the charm Of health and good fea-
lures. But unfortunately she is com
ing to lose the first. often even the
first two attributes, early in life"

RESOLUTION ON
PEACE MAY GO TO
SUPREME COURT
Opponents Expect to Attack
Validity of Terms Signed
by Harding.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Yahdity Of
the peace resolution will be challenged in
legal battles which probably will be car
ried to the United States Supreme Court,
Representative Flod. Virginia. ranking
Democrat on the House foreign affairs
committee, predicted today.
He declared that it will never be de-
termined definitely whether Congress can
declare peace with Germany and Austria
Hungary until the high court passes on
ths question.
The suits 70 test the resolution probably
will be brought by Germans whose prop
erty was seized by the alien property
custodian during the war, or may arise
through other suits which would hinge
on the state Of official peace. Flood said.
The Germans it is known, are planning
big legal drive against the Federal
Government to regain their property. Ire
peace resolution recently signed by the
President confirms all the seizures penal
ties and fines affecting these Interests.
Hundreds OF Iswyers in New York nave
been retained by the Germans to hgbt for
the property and the first suits propatly
viii be to set aside sales to American
citizens which were made by the allen
property custodian under the authority OF
an act OF Congress. These sales involved
many Of the invaluable dye patents which
are now IN the hands Of Americans.
According to constitutional lawyers in
Congress, the Supreme Court never Las
passed directly on whether peace can be
effected by congressional declaration.
Some indirect references are being re-
fered to as evidencing belief of the
court that Congress- hns no such power
u believe the peeNe declaration is
plainly unconstitutional and will be held
so by the courts" said Flood.

w. S. Miller Declares Purpose
of Document Was Printed
on Every Page.

Charges that several signatures to the

letters to itself A pretty conceit, which
seems to strike tho editor as the height
of suhtIety. II one cares to test this
statement he needs only TO write com
munication to the News which sincerely
opposes q News project. 1t will never
be printed. 1t is a political organ posses
sing no scruples whatever; and never
prints news without an Interior motive.
THE tactics pursued by the News In
seeking to silence demand for q pubic
hearing on the memorial proposal have
been SO sIekeniIy hypocritical as TO dis
courage honest expression Of opinion IN
the matter. We have 4 few small matters
10 present to the city council which should
silence the cry Of fraud, raised by the
men who fiIched our remonstrance from
the city clerks Office and held 1t cut
over week end
EFFORTS OF any person who signed the
petiton to withdraw his or her name on
the ground that they did not know What
they were signing certainly will not hold
good in the courts, II It Is brought 10
tbat Furthermore. l doubt very much
whether Il would have been possible for
any person who did the actual work OF
circulating the petitions to misrepresenr
the facts In the case, when the petition
itself was printed on every page in BLACK
and white-not in legal phre seoloGy, but
in clear-cut language, understandable to
any person who is qualified to sign hts
own name.
ut is very strange to me why those
persons who are doing so much to cause
the creation Of the memorial plaza and
who are so loud in prociaiming that tie
great mass of Indianapolis people favor

WASHINGTON. july 6--AttOrney Gen

the Department Of Justice SSeision of
Feb. 4, barring from the United States

had written the decision. and that she
naturally was inclined TO be dry"
Immediately after President Harding
came in attorneys for liquor interests
in Canada and Latin American countries
and anti i-ProhibitiOnists in the United
States. asked for a review Of the facts
At first Mr.. Daugberty decided 10 con-
slider the proposition. but finally yielded
and after a hearing stood by Mr.
Nebeker Miss Adams. who still is in
the department. helped to convince Mr.
Daugherty that her original recommends
ton was the proper one.
The extremists contend that under this
ruling not only is the liquor intended foI
legations at Washington barred from
transport. but that foreign liners cannot
land at United States ports with liquors
on board under penalty Of fine and ever
n seizure under the provisions of the law
Chat makes the vehicle transporting liquor
subject to confiscatiOn.
The law applies to United States ter
ritory and all waters within the three

There is general belief. however. thai
the State department. which preserved
the convfviaI rights of the diplomats be

This ruling. however, puts an absolute
stop to the big freight business through
which Canadian distilIers shipped theii
product across this country to Soutf
America and the West Indies and the

In effect, the decision Of the Depart
