Chicago, May 5.-Cheeks pink
ed by setting-up exercises and

their places, she said, if they
are applied properly.

said in demonstrating how to
use makeup, then forget
about it. 1t will last all day if
you do it right Always put your
powder over the rouge"
To make up on the street car
or elsewhere in public is as bad,
she said, 'as if a man were to
shave himself under similar cir
cumstances.
Your brothers in the army
did not have to get a daily com
plexion out of a box. did they ?''
she asked in urging the girls to
take up the setting-Up exercises.

WILSON HAS
NOT LET 60
DEMO REINS
Resents Cox Effort to
Grab Leadership, Law
renee Says.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Washington, d. c., May 5-Wood-
row Wilson considers himself the
leader of the Democratic party, all
other aspirants for that position
10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
This impression had been gradu-
ally gaining ground recently with
the growing Improvement in Mr..
Wilson's health but the. letter writ
ten to John c. Higdon, who asked
the former presidents advice about
entering the Decomratic senatorial
primary in Missouri, now has been
accepted as removing all doubts ON
the question.
In that letter to Mr.. Higdon, the
former president suggested that if
the former believed in my political
leadership" he would not compli-
cate the contest by making it a
three-cornered fight as Brecken-
ridge Long, a close friend of Mr.
Wilson's has already begun his
campaign to wrest the nomination
from Senator James A Reed, a po-
litical foe of Mr.. Wilson.
Letter Is Barometer.
Democrats hereabouts who pro-
fess to know all about Mr.. Wilson S
political thoughts look upon the
letter to Mr.. Higdon with deep sat
isfaction for they say it is full of
meaning for those who have es-
sayed to place James M Cox at the
head of the Democratic party be-
cause he was the nominee at the
last convention. The question real
ly asked by the Wilsonites-and
answered positively by them-is
whether a man who was twice
elected to the presidency on the
Democratic ticket. indeed. the first
Democrat in o generation, is not
entitled to consider himself lead
er of the party as against another
Democrat who simply ran for the
presidency and was defeated. For
that matter William Jennings Bry-
an ran thrice for the presidency
and doesn't believe in taking a
back seat for anybody but it is a
fact that Mr. Wilson has on more
than one occasion made it clear
that he is leader of the party and
not Mr.. Bryan
This attitude on the part of Mr..
Wilson, however, hasn't prevented
either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Cox from
regarding themselves as leaders OF
the party. But the truth of the
matter is that neither one stands
well in the graces of Mr.. Wilson
when leadership is involved. There
is every reason to believe Mr.. Cox
and Mr.. Wilson, for instance, are
on good terms. The speeches of
Mr.. Cox recently have been right
along the same lines as Mr.. Wilson
has expounded, particularly with
reference to the League of Nations,
but it is an open secret that MI
wilson has looked askance at what
ne has construed to be an attempt

DENIES POISON
FOUND IN HANNA
GIRLS ORGANS
LesDnaan Is Incensed
at Report From,
Chicago.

Danville, ILL.,, May 5.-John H.
Lewman, states. attorney, this aft
ernoon absolutely refused to deny
or confirm the report that the
chemist in Chicago had found
poison in the stomach of Gertrude
Hanna, dead Hoopeston girl.
"The chemist in Chicago" said
MIR. Lewman, had no right to give
out any report, if he did give out
one as reported"
Mr.. Lewman was highly indig-
nant when told of the purported
finding in the case. He said he had
no letter from the chemist, but had
heard from him. He said he would
not have anything to say unil he
had the official report in his hands
If it is true that the analysis
shows poison in the vital organs,
authorities will delye deeper into
the matter of an alleged visit paid
to an Indiana physician by a man
said to be a resident of Hoopeston,
it is believed.
Attorney Is "Mighty Mad"
Mr.. Lewman is busy here trying
the Corder murder case and said ne
would not be through with it until
the end of this week, but that the
delay in getting the detailed report
from the chemist would be imma-
terial.
How in the world do you ex-
pect me to investigate murders
when Chicago papers print such in
formation before it reaches me?'
he said, referring to reports Chi
cago papers carried that poison
had been found.
Il cannot discuss the matter and
furthermore l am getting mighty
mad" he added.

Peking, China, May 5.-(By The

Flu, leader of the Chilli army, has
sent a number of his officers into
Peking to consult with the gov
ernment authorities after his vic
tory over General Chang Tso Lin's
forces south of this city. General
Wu's officers declared the Chihli
commander could be expected in the
capital soon.
General WI attributes much of
his success to the initiative of Feng
Yuh Slang, "the Christian general" !"
who commanded the operations
ward of Chang's army. WI de-
clared he will continue to fight
until Chang has been driven back
to Mukden, of which he is military
governor.
Last night crowds of soldiers
from Chang's defeated army gath
cred outside the walls of Peking,
clamoring for admittance. At the
southwest gate, where the railroad
enters the city they used a Iocomo-

gate, but failed. City guards were
sent out to disarm the stragglers.
Changes Men Disarmed.
Two thousand of Chang Tso Lin's
soldiers permanently kept in Pc
king were disarmed, under orders
from WI Pei Flu. This is regarded
