GIRLS!LEMON JUICE
WHITENS RED HANDS

Squeeze the juice of two lemons
into bottle containing three ounces
of Orchard White, which any drug
store will supply for a few cents,
shake well and you have quarter
pint of harmless and delightful lemon
bleach lotion to soften and whiten red,
rough or chapped hands. This home
made lemon lotion is far superior to
glycerin and rose water to smoother
the skin. Famous stage beauties use
it to bleach and bring that soft, clear,
rosy-whitc complexion, because 1t

WORKING HOURS LESS UNDEk
FEDERAL CONTROL.

Practically all railroad workers, Mr.
Hines SAID, were palo by the nouf'
therefore the number Oh men employed
was OF no significance. The 0urstanu-
,ng TACT Is tnat the government actu-
any paid for less hours than during
private operation. Nh. hines IN ms
report said:
The controlling fact in this matter
of the number IS that the numoer IS
determined bv the number OF hours
they work per day. Eight hours OIL
work can be done IN a uay by elght
employees it they work ten hours each,
while it would tack ten employees
worKlng eight hours each to 20 the
same amount OF work.
1.-The eight-hour day has been estab-
lished as a general policy OF the rail-
road Administration. Inis change OF
policy has undoubtedly brought about
an increase in the number OF EN-
ployes, but it has not brought about
an increase in the number OIL hours or
work paid for.
ut is the number Of hours OF work
paid for and not the number OF EN-
plOyeeS WHICH Is lie SiS illaiSoiiS eiitA-9
with respect to operating expenses.
The fact is that the number OF
hours of work paid by the Railroad
administration IN 1915 was less than
in 1915, 1917 or 1915"
The efficiency Of the workers dur
ing Federal control is vouched for by
Mr.. Hines, who declares that they de-
ivered a greater ns.mber OF traiilc
units per man hour than had ever be-
fore been obtained.
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, Jan
uary "a, 1922, Mr.. Hines said that the
traffic units of service per man hour
had increased from 50 per cent IN
1915 to sc per cent in 1917 and 1913
and, to 100 per cent in 1919, "A greater
number of traffic units per man hour
than had ever been obtained before
Evidence corroborating Mr.. Hines
tribute to efficiency of workers was
given by Mr.. McAdoo, former director
of railroads, in testimony before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce, February l, 1922. MIR. Nc

ANOTHER CHANGE
OF VENUE ASKED
Judge Woods Rules That
Operators Have Right to
Employ Other Counsel.

CHARLES TOWN, Oct. "a
Circuit Judge Woods ruled today
at .the trial OF c.. Frank KeeneY,
district president OF the U. NJ, w.
OF A. that the Logan Coal ope5-
ators' Association had a legal
right to employ counsel to assist
the state in prosecuting Keeney
on charge Of accessory before
the fact in the killing Of Deputy
Sheriff John Gore during the
miners march on Logan County
year ago.
In announcing his ruling. Judge
Woods declared that the petition
filed yesterday by Keeney's attoT-
'neys had no bearing on the case,
The petition alleged that Governor
Morgan and other state . officers
were involved In a conspiracy to
aid the Logan coal operators in
crushing union activities in West
Virginia.
The court held, however, that
the prosecuting attorney Of Jeffor'
son County and not the prosecutor
from Logan County should havo
charge OF the case.
Keeney obtained a change Of
venue from Logan to Jefferson
County several months ago. To-
day, after Judge Woods acted upon
the petition the defense asked
for a second change Of venue. Ar
guments on the motion probably
will require two days. TfG Jury
was excused. "
Attorney II. H. Houston began
the argument for a change OF
venue. He opened by reading a
lengthy petition signed by Keeney
charging residents of jefferson
County with malice adm bitterness
although they had not heard about
the case until recently. Sheriff
MacougEtry also was accused OF
prejudice. The petition declared
that the sheriff is hostile to tho
