GIVEN CLEAN BILL Ry AsencfafAf2 presa

Washington, June 5.-The interna- tional labor office operating under the League of Nations is given clean bill of health in report of the special com mittee of the league investigating charges which have brought the labor body under fire as an alleged dis senator of social unrest. A summary of the commissions report was made public here tonight by the American correspondent of the labor office. The commission, according to the summary, says there is no evidence of active propaganda being spread by the labor group. It adds that there is no founda- ton for the accusation that the bureau has entered into direct relations with trade unions and other workers or ganizations."

 old Electric Light Bulbs
 Many uses may be made of electric light bulbs which have ceased to func- tion. By dashing them violently On the floor you can explode them with a loud report which will startle the mos- persistently crying baby into tempo rary silence.
 The filaments inside them, having been many times superheated, are sur gically clean, and make most excellent toothpicks, thereby making the usual large annual outlay for toothpicks un- necessary.
 It is reported that by setting out the bulbs in the spring every family ca d have it's own electric light plant in the fall, but this we have never in- vestigated and refuse to youch for.

By AAssUCIHItU THHs
 Tokio, June 4.-Latest advices from Vladivostok declare that the Kappell army prevented General Semenoff, the antibolshevik leader, from landing there. Guards were placed on the docks and simultaneously several members of Semenoff's self-styled cabinet were placed under arrest. These followers of Semenoff had proceeded to Nladiyostok from Harbin to support the cause of which he was to be the head. The for eign consuls informally voted that un- til the population had an opportunity to decide the form of government it de- sired, General Semenoff should not be permitted to land. Many Cossacks well comed the coming of Semenoff, with the result that the situation has grown somewhat tense,

GOVERNOR HARDING RECOMMENDS LOAN
 ID CATTLE RA|SERS
Urges Legislation Because of Peculiar Emergency Exist ing In the Live Stock
 Industry
By Associated Press

Washington, June 5.--Legislation authorizing Secretary Mellon to make available to the War Finance Corpor- ation $50.OOO 900 to be loaned cattle raisers was recommended to Congress by the federal reserve board in a for maj statement issued tonight by Gov ernor Harding. The recommendation was made, Governor Harding ex- plained, with the concurrence of the secretary to meet the peculiar emer gency existing in the live stock indus try"
 The boards proposal was announced by the governor before leaving for a two weeks tour of the cattle pro- ducing sections of the country He will stop at Des Moines, la; Cheyenne, .Wyo.; Albuqerque, N. NJ; Fl paso San Angelo, San Antonio and Dallas, Tex. Governor Harding has just com pleted a similar tour of the agricul- tural section of the south and middle west.
 The board feels.' the governor said, that the financial emergency which menaced the country durin 1920 has definitely passed. However" he added, additional credit facilities are urgently needed by producers of some highly essential products, particularly in the stock raising industry.
 Amendment Advisable
 Amendment to the reserve act, mak. irg one and two-year cattle paper eligible for rediscount, instead of the existing limit of six months, as a means of providing the longer term credit required by the necessities of the live stock industry is deemed in advisable by the board, the governor declared. Such loans he asserted could be made through reserve banks as fiscal agents for the War Finance Corporation, rather than as banks of discount. He suggested that the time for making these advances to stock men be limited to three years from the passage of the enabling Legislation with a view to having the funds thus advanced ultimately returned to the treasury.
 "This legislation, in the board s opinion" he continued, will meet the present emergency and should give ample time for the development of permanent plans for the financing of the live stock industry
 No Room For Apprehension
 Discussing the general credit .itu- ation, Governor Harding maintained there was no ground for apprehension regarding the ability of the banks tc

meet the requirements of both agri- culture and industry.
 "It is the opinion of the federal re- serve board" he said, that the coun- try is approaching crop season with underlying conditions far sounder than they were a year ago. It should be understood that until there is a broadening of the market for agri- cultural products many farmers will have to be granted extensions on loans already made them, and will in many cases require additional credits pend ing the making and marketing of the new crops"
 The reserve banks, he declared wore prepared 10 extend liberal cred its to member banks for the produc- tive requirements of their customers and urged all banks to all in easing the situation in the agricultural dis tricts until normal processes could be further developed.

TOE NAILS.

Yesterday we were talking about
the nails. I'm afraid in our con-
sideration of this important item
we are apt to forget that the toes
also have nails, and that these
should be kept in perfect condi-
ton. Most of us spend such scam
ty leisure as we possess on the
places that show most!
But surely any woman can steal
20 minutes a week, or ten minutes
twice week, to look after the feet
and to nails. The results in COM
fort will justify the time spent,
even If pretty toe nails are hard to
achieve. One wealthy society
woman has her toe nails cared for
daily exactly like her finger nails,
and has each nail carefully POLISH
ed, As she has plenty of time,
do not blame her for ] think its
sense and not vanity that prompts
her to have her feet as pretty as
her hands!
The feet should be soaked In
warm soapy water for ten minutes
so the nails can be cut easily. Cut
them straight across, short, and
clean under each nail. If the big
toe nail is too thick, rub it down
with a piece of wet pumice stone
1t will improve its looks and your
comfort. If the nails are yellow
from the friction Of shoe, rub off
the yellow with the pumice.
Loosen the cuticle about the
edge of the nail with cuticle
