THE LEYIATHAN'S TRIP
Pleasant Weather Makes Initial Start More Enjoyable-Rumors of M- junction Not Confirmed.

Boston. June 19.--The fairest of summer weather favored the guests of the shipping board who will sail for southern waters this afternoon on the mammoth liner Leviathan. Early in the day there was not cloud in the sky A steady rise in temperature gave promise of a hot day but a fresh breeze was blowing out of the southwest.
 The great ship, transformed from its former role of army transport to a luxurious home for travellers lay spick and span in her new paint at an anchorage i'll the lower harbor. She was floated without hitch yesterday from the navy drydock in south Bos- ton where she received her finishing touches and took aboard the last of her magnificent furnishings and a great store of supplies. Some of the guests went down the harbor on a small steamer yesterday afternoon and spent the night aboard the Leviathan while others waited until today Rumors that an injunction might be sought in the federal courts here to prevent the sailing of the Leviathan today could not be confirmed.

TROUBLE OVER LEAGUE
Charges That Management Is Too Ex-
 trayagant Are Made in Budget De-
 bate in French Senate Today

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, June 19.-An attack on the alleged extravaganza of the league of nations enlivened the opening of the budget debate in the senate today Senator Lucient Hubert, reporter of the foreign affairs commission, said the league had great mission, but as it's advent appeared to presase the dawn of new era he would like to see it conducted along irreproachable lines with an avoidance of wasteful- ness.
 "The league" he said, does not all ways practice economy and besides the fabulous salaries paid its func- tionaries there are many useless ex- penditures.
 Premier Poincare cancelled today's cabinet meeting to go to the senate to defend the appropriation for the French ambassadorship to the Vati- can. Opposition to this feature of the budget was expected in the form of a demand for a reduction of 1000 francs in the allowance for the post at Rome.
 The premier was understood to be prepared to defend the item by mak- ing its preservation a question of con fldence in the government if necessary.

Any breaking out of the skin on face. neck, arms or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sul phur. The pimples seem to dry right up and go away, declares noted skin specialist.
 Nothing has ever been found to take the place of sulphur as a pimple remover It is harmless and mex pensive. Just ask any druggist for q small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul- phur and use it like cold cream.
