SETTLED THE WHOLE MATTER
Siapper Saw Dreadful Possibility IL
She Followed Advice Given Her
by Business Woman.

The capable Business Woman is an
employment expert in one of the
large downtown offices. The types that
come to her are many and interesting.
One girl applied. She wore clothes
that were technically within the law,
and no more. Her face wore a heavy
mask of rouge and powder, while her
'frizzled' bobbed hair was adorned
with a ridiculous hat.
I'D like a position as steno. here"
she announced.
I'm afraid / have nothing for you"
replied the Business Woman somewhat
coldly, and then becoming conscience
stricken at her total lack Of sympathy
with the tiapper, she added in a friend
iier tone: May l give you a bit Of adj
vice? / hope you won't misunderstood
me when say you are not appropri-
ately dressed for an office. You
should dress more discreetly, other
wise you may be m%isjudged. Next
time you apply for a position YEA a
dress with real sleeves, don't curl your
hair SO tightly, and if you must wear
rouge, put it on sparingly. You might
also get a semi-tailored hat"
Good heavens !" interrupted the
f1apper, aghast. IF l dressed that way
I'd look like you."-New York Sun.

MARRIAGE and All That.

FREEDOM FROM
LAxATVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary 70
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means al simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant IL not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle l%ubricating action of NujOl most
closely resemblea that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
1t cannot grippe. 1t is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant.

Became Known Wednesday Commission Experts Have Been on Hand For Week Going Over Entire
 District

True to his declaration that he in- personal inspection of mining plants and study of the Alabama coal field from an engineering standpoint, John Hays Hammond, chairman of the fed eral coal commission, left the Tut wiler Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock for his first trip about the district. He was accompanied by R. A. Walter, engineer of the commits sion, and George Gordon Crawford, president of the Tennessee company: Frank H. Crockard. president of the Woodward Iron company, and Er- skine Ramsay, vice president of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, largest independent coal operators in the Alabama field. The party re- turned late in the afternoon. MT. Hammond immediately retired and left orders that he was not to be dis turbed until 7:3O o'clock Thursday morning.
 Such up-to-date mining properties as Edgewater and Docena mines Of the Tennessee company and Mu1ga mines of the Woodward Iron com pany, together with other plants in 'Possum valley, were visited Incl dent to such a trip MT. Hammond was enabled to see the operations of the modern welfare work of the mining companies and the model mill villages of the Tennessee company in and around Fairfield and other places, and also to get an idea of the housing conditions of the miners at Edge water and other mines, as well as those of steel workers at Fairfield and in Westfield and that vicinity.

Harding Joined By Lasker and Mclean Enjoy Game of Golf at Sea Breeze Links.
 Have No Program

MIAMI, Fla, March 7.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)--President Harding today found what he is seeking in Florida-quiet and recreation. The furry incident to the arrival at Or mond yesterday had passed and the President and Mrs. Harding with the members of their vacation party were permitted to obtain uninter- rupted rest. After night spent aboard the houseboat Pioneer just south of Daytona, the chief execu- tive with his host, Edward B. Me Lean, Chairman Lasker of the ship ping board, and former Director Dawes of the budget bureau came ashore and motored to Sea Breeze, across the Halifax river from this city, for g game of golf
 The Pioneer, with Mrs. Harding and other members of the party aboard, proceeded down the river and anchored off New Smyrna. The President, after a round of golf. mo- tored to New Smyrna and went aboard about 1 o'clock. Almost the entire winter colony there was on hand at the dock to greet him and to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Harding, who appeared on deck shortly before the arrival of the President. An hour after the President had boarded the Pioneer the cruise down the riy- CT was resumed.
 The next stopping of the President was not announced before the de- parture from New Smyrna, that mat tar haip loft W the custom dursAG the voyage down the Halifax and Indian rivers and the inland waterway to Miami.
 No Definite Plans Made.
 The President, it was emphasized today by members of his party, has established no absolutely fixed schedule and will make none, hold ing that the most can be gotten from a vacation when such matters are left to a day-by-day arrangement.
 The Pioneer Is not a speedy craft and because of the danger of ground ing on either side of the narrow channel no attempt at, speed will be made. Her average is about six or eight miles an hour, and steaming at this rate during the afternoon was expected to bring her somewhere in the vicinity of Titusville for the night anchorage. This will allow another game of golf tomorrow, either at Rockledge. Cocoa or vero.
 Ideal weather was served the pres idential party today, although much of the south beyond northern Florida was feeling the chill of the passing winter. The storm was scarcely felt in this part of Florida, it's sole mani festation consisting of winds of gale strength and torrential downpour of rain which lasted less than 10 minutes about 2 o'clock this morn ing.
 Members of the Presidents party slept through it all, learning of 1t only on arising. It had the effect of removing the trace of humidity mo- ticeable yesterday and made golfing most comfortable.

WOMAN CONVICTED
 BY JURY SEEKS T0 END. HER OWN LIFE
Mrs. SaIudes, Found Guilty in Second Uegree, Makes Three Efforts to Con-
 init Suicide

NEW YORE, March 7.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-Mrs. Paulette Sa- ludes, the second woman to be con- victed of murder in this city with in three weeks, made three unsuc- cessful attempts at suicide tonight.
 Found guilty of killing Oscar Martelliere, an insurance broker, Mrs. Saludes was being led across the Bridge of Signs when she swallow ed poison. then tried to slash her throat with the lid of small tin box. and finally attempted to dash her brains out against the walls of her cell in the Tombs.
 The jury, composed of men of super r-intelligence," and admonished to find 8 verdict with their heads instead of their hearts, found Mrs. Saludes guilty of second degree mur- der which carries prison sentence of from 20 years to life. Less than three weeks ago jury in Brooklyn returned a similar verdict against Mrs. Lillian Raizen for the staying of Dr. Abraham Glickstein.
 Mrs. Saludes shot Martelliere Octo- Der 16 and on that day was pre- vented from ending her life when she attempted to leap from a win dow In her attorneys office. Mrs. Saludes, pretty French woman. was clear eyed. calm and almost de- liant as she heard the jury foreman pronounce her guilty. Then she closed her eyes. Deputy sheriffs let her from the courtroom and started across the Bridge of Signs for the Tombs.
 It was here that sha drew from it's hiding place in her glove the lit tie tin box that contained. police said, brass polish but which looked like rouge. In this was believed to have been inserted pellet of poison.
 She tossed something down he- throat and straight way crumpled into the arms of her attendants. Groaning and struggling with the deputies, Mrs. Saludes then tried to slash her throat with the brass hinge of the vanity box, but was prevented from doing serious injury to herself. She was carried in her cell, where the prison physician hurried with a stomach pump and. despite her fran tic attempts to prevent it's use. she was revived. It was then that she dashed herself against the wall of her cell, but again she was thwart- ed in her plan of self destruction.
 Every possible possession with which she might injure herself was taken from the prisoner and an ex- tra guard was placed at her door. to remain there until after her sentence and her transfer to Auburn prison.
 The theory was set forth tonight by some prison officials that the woman had decided to end her life rather than tell all the facts con- corning her life. which will be neces- sary when she is sentenced to prison. Little is known of her history pre- viously.

New Treasury Issue
 Reaches 400 Millions
 In War Debt Refund

WASHINGTON, March 7.-The treasury moved another step to- day toward concluding its re- funding operations in connection with the victory notes and war savings stamps of the 1918 issue. Two new issues of treasury cer- tificates, aggregating approxi- mately s400.000, ,O00 were an- nounced to cover the March fi- nancing and at the same time to aid In carrying the treasury over to the middle of May when the last of the victory notes ma tured
 One issue will bear four and one fourth per cent interest and will mature September 15, and the other, bearing an interest rate of 4la per cent, will mature March b, 1924. Outstanding certificates. maturing March 15. or any of the victory notes will be accepted In exchange for the new issues.
 About s36s, 100000 of certifi- cates fall due March 15. coinci- dent with the tax payment, which the treasury estimates will bring in around s4oo,00o,0oo. On the same date liberty bonds interest, aggre gating about S135,000,000. is due. while there are outstand- ing something like $90,000,000 In victory notes. which were called for redemption last December, and more than s75,000,000 in war

savings stamps, which matured January l. remain unredeemed. The treasury, therefore. must make arrangements to meet nearly s700,00o 900 in maturities or have cash on hand 10 take care of them and at the same time be prepared to carry on the usual government expenditures.
 The close margin on which the treasury will operate after March 15. as indicated by comparison Of the anticipated income and known maturities. makes certain that further financing will take place in May on the maturity of the remainder of the victory notes. But treasury officials are optimistic and assert that while further financing will have to take place in May. the recent steady reductions made in out standing paper of short maturity dates have placed the government in position satisfactory to those charged with the admins- tration of finances.
 A formal statement by the treasury declared that when the March financing is completed there will still be outstanding ap- Iroximately one billion dollars in certificates of indebtedness. But this amount, the statement said, is remarkably low for this stage of the governments post war fi- nancing.

mASHINGTON. March 7.-Export- CTS Of agricultural products and rep resentatives of agricultural organi- zations are being asked by the com merce department, Secretary Hoover announced tonight, to serve en special commission that will investi- gate the foreign trade outlook for farmers.
 Under an appropriation of $500 900 made by Congress to investigate what combinations are in existence or in process of formation abroad to hold up the price of raw pro- ducts, such as rubber, which are il.- ported into the United States in large quantities. and to consider whether nTy sources of supply can foe developed on American soil. the department also was authorized to make a special study of the inter- national trade situation with respect to agriculture. The commission now being formed. whose membership will be announced shortly, will plan and direct the investigation.
 Agricultural produce comprises about one-half of our total exports" a department statement said. Dur ing the last three years there has been an apparently slight over-pro- duction In the United States which seriously affects agricultural prices. and the questions arise as to how temporary this situation may be and what the future prospects are.
 During the 10 years before 1913 our production did not keep up with our consumption and the increased consumption was reflected In de- creasing margin of exportable sur plus to an average of about 6.500,- 900 tons per annum just before the war"
