After Four Attempts, Ebert Finally Succeeds In Nam
 ing A Successful Head

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-(By Associated Press. )-The seven day parliament tary crisis, which was chiefly de. voted to inter party bickerings and barterings and abortive attempts definitely to do away with socialistic influences in national politics through the creation of bourgeois bloc, ter minated tonight in a three-party compromise, by virtue of which a minority coalition, comprising mem bers of the clerical, the German peo- ple's and the democratic parties, Will succeed the deposed Stresemann gov ernment, which was constituted with the same con. ponent parts. Dr. Will helm Marx, the clerical leader will head the new cabinet as chancellor, while the other portfolios will be held by men who were in the last government.
 As at present constituted the gov ernment will be:
 Chancellor, Dr. Wilhelm Marx min fense. pr, Otto Gessler; food, Dr. Hans Luther; posts, pr. Anton Heefle; without portfolio, Rudolph Oeser
 pr. stresemann is reported to have accepted the post of foreign minister.
 Aside from being pronounced minority cabinet, the present re- NampeQ cOallt1On IS any lHlHS pul c firmly co-ordinated three-party bloc within its own ranks, and it also will be called upon to assin.ilate much of the animosity and partisan acerbities which it inherits from the seven day crisis, both with respect to the antagonism waiting it from the German nationalists, as well as the yet wholly problematlcal attitude of the united socialists.
 Although Dr. Marx has announced he would select his cabinet members irrespective of their party allegiance nevertheless he has an outspoken ministry, which seemingly once again is wholly dependent upon the charity of the social democrats. Tc this extent the preesnt crisis ran true to traditional form. although previous parliamentary ructions rare ly consumed an entire week in the process of their liquidation.- Presi- dent Ebert used up four chancellor candidates in his efforts to construct a party lineup, which would con stitute a workable coalition, and the situation reached a state of clarifi- cation this evening only after Dr Marx was sent out as bellwether.

HAWKINS WINS POINT

The right of tax adjusters to en- ter separate the valuation of the lands and the valuations of the im- movements thereon was uphela Thursday when the supreme court of Alabama overruled the appeal Of the Beltona Coal and Mining company vs James F. Hawkins, tax collector or Jefferson county. The case was ap = pealed from the circuit court or that county. ,. l.,
 tax payer's suit to recover taxes paid under protest. It is stated that the tax payer made returns of real estate to the tax assessor for the year l92e' on which lands and improvements were not listed separately. The board of tax adjusters thereupon added a set showing summary or acreage of lands owned by the coal company and a separated list or I'm provements. The valuation of lands and improvements were entered sep arately by the tax adjusters.
 The appellant objected to this added assessment of improvements, but the court held that the tax adjusters had the right to correct the defect or failure to enter on returns the lands and improvements separately.

NOVA SERPENTIS' MAY HAVE SHOVE FOR YEARS
Scientists Believe It Has Been Hid.
 den By Cosmic Mist

HEIDELBERG, Nov. ze.-NoV5 Serpentis," a new star in the con stellation of the Serpent, which was discovered by the Heidelberg o5serva- tory 14 years ago, has been con- stantly in view since its discovery and is said to be considered in a class different from most new stars, which are visible only a short time. German astronomers now express be- lief that this star may have always been a star which was hidden by clouds of cosmic mist.
 The new stars which shine bright ly for a limited time and then dis appear, have been supposed by some to be created by clashes of dead stars of gas clouds. But Nova Serpentis" has shown by its 14>years of con- staney that it Is not of this type. Astronomers estimated 1t takes a thousand years for a beam of light to come to the earth from Nova Serpentis.'

POWER COMPANY WINS POINT

Because the trial court refused to permit teh attorney for the Alabama Power company to introduce evidence to the effect that the company. pro- vided nurses and physicians for woman injured on one of its street cars, the case of the Alabama Power company vs. Dora B., Goodwin was revised and remanded Thursday by the supreme court of Alabama. This case was appealed from the circuit court of Etowah county.
 The opinion on the case, written by Associate Justice Somerville, held that punitive damages could be re- covered against the company for each individual injury, thus opposing the contention of the company that pun tive damages could be assessed against 1t in only one of several cases arising from the same act ot alleged negligence. However, the court held that the exclusion of tes- tirnony relative to the power com panys efforts to mitigate damages was a fatal error
 Dora G. Goodwin. the plaintiff in the original suit, was injured in collision of street cars.

For 40 years I have been a famous beauty. I am a youthful beauty still. On the stage play young girls parts, and look like girl of 19.
 Many years ago French experts taught me the use of clay. That clay multiplied my beauty-made me the rage of New York.
 Then clays were crude and muddy, as many clays are still. Since then, French experts have perfected clay. They have made it white and clean and dainty. They have added factors which bring manifold effects.
 I now use that perfected clay, and call it my White Youth Clay. am an example of what that new-type clay does for a woman of 62.

You must use clay

No girl or woman who cares for beauty can now omit her clay. No girl can look her best without it. no woman can keep her youth. The users of clay, with their rosy, clear complexions, stand out in every crowd.
 Clay purges the skin of all that clogs it-the causes of sallowness, black heads and blemishes. It brings blood to the skin to nourish and revive it. The result is that rosy afterglow which so amazes and delights.
 Clay makes plain girls beauties. And
