AME ER|CAN UNIONS WILL A|D GE ERMANs
Gompers Issues Appeal To Members For Funds To
 Carry On The Work

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-(Bye~As sociated Press.)-The American Fed eration of Labor today decided to un- dertake relief work for the support of labor organizations in Germany A general appeal to union members for funds to assist in this purpose was issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, and members of its executive council and announcement was made that a large committee of officers of American unions had been created to direct the drive for funds and their disposition.
 Summarizing reasons actuating the decision, the general appeal, signed by MT. Gompers, declared that the economic distress in Germany was leading to the break up of the entire union organization.
 Reports from Major General Henry T. Allen, retired, former commander of the American occupation forces in Germany, now heading the friends movement for relief of German chil- dren and others, the appeal said, had painted a grave picture of distress and poverty among the laboring classes.
 The plain facts" indicate, the ap peal said that if the German labor mQvement Is not assisted at this time the achievements of 40 years of struggle will be wiped out

But if there is anything wrong about it, is it not just as bad to seek federal office and then show the poor 1 sportsmanship these gentlemen dc when they fail to land?
 Tt is notorious among Alabama republicans that these very same gentlemen knifed Mir. Street, the re- publican candidate for governor, in 1922, and now they seem to think they should be rewarded for doing so, by being placed in charge of the party in this state. They point to the vote MT. Street received. but they do not call attention to the fact that the democratic vote in the state also fell off approximately with the re- publican vote, and also to the fact that the republican vote throughout the nation suffered a great slump in 1922 from the vote of 1920. Really Street ran, most creditabIe race for the lnifing by this crowd.
 Oliver D. Street needs no defense at my hands. He is widely known throughout Alabama and highly re- spected by people of all parties. lie is clean. able and honorable and is a credit to our party. For eight years he has represented us on the repub- lican national committee, and no man has ever dared utter a word of scandal against his good name, and he has worked with great devotion and fidelity for the advancement and upbuilding of a real republican party in Alabama. Unlike these would-be traducers of his, he" has sought no office for himself since the party honored him by making him national committeeman. He has been most patient and has conducted himself with rare dignity during all the time he has had this pack of pie hunters on his trail like a pack of hungry wolves, who have shown so clearly to Alabama republicans they would sell their very soul for little federal patronage, and then would camouflage their ridiculous perform ances by crying out about federal of Reference to Primary.
 'We are mighty glad these gen. wonderful primary election law our for God knows they are the only people who find any joy in that great piece of legislation, but it is indeed an i'll wind that blows no one good. We are mighty glad they have decided to make use of this law. Let Chenault go to it; the running Is fine in that primary; we welcome the issue these gentlemen have made by biting Chenault against President Coolidge, and if the political impos- sible should happen and Chenault should defeat Coolidge, probably then all this crowd will land in the happy state of federal office holders.

MARKET IS FAIRLY W [ IL BALANCED
Tendency In Favor Of Ad-
 vanCed Prices As Weak ness Disappears
By WALTER E. BROWN Market Editor New York Commercial UcAsed Wire to The Are-Heraidl


 NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Conditions were fairly well balanced in Wedpes days stock market, with the greater weight, if any, upon the side of advancing prices.
 Whatever weakness was apparent yesterday had practically disap- +reared today. The general list moved within narrow limits while only. the specialties attracted attention.
 The most active item on the list was sehclair, which operated over a range of 114 points, closing at a net advance of &. Next in line was American Can, which moved within similar range, but had net loss of ss. Following this was Davison Chemical. which has been an active speculative football for some time, but which today moved only 3h points, chiefly in downward direc- tion. closing with a net loss of B.
 These were typical of other spe- cialties. all of which were governed largely by technical conditions with out any particular reference to gen. eral developments.
 The oil group was looked upon with more or less favor with the publication of figures showing a reduction in the daily output of the California fields which averaged tJ-s'of aDdIlclS III O1lODCia eHO OiAiJ 74G,595 barrels in November. Ma tional Lead proved to be one of the spectacular features of the day, nov ing up almost points, due to rnmors of a possible split up of the stocks.
 In general the market is in fluenced by the uncertainty of af- fairs in Washington. The steady expansion of trade activity is mak- ing it's impression upon the flnan- cial community and is reflected in the strong undertone that continues to prevail. The announcement or Henry Ford's declaration in favor Of President Coolidge came too late to act as 2 mSrket factor, but it VIII Will structive side. of tomorrow's market. Tie feeling is that it removes the monaco of a third ticket that would be likely to command any consider able following. for Wall street would prefer to see the government of the United States in the hands of either the conservative republican or con servative democratic party.

NV Perennial Beauty
And my debt to France
Bv Edna Wallace Hopper

All who see me on the stage and
elsewhere knot that | look 10. My
youthful bloom is the envy of count
less dcbutantes. Yet for 32 years, !
have been a musical comedy star, and
am now of grandmothcr's age.
| owe this to France Her experts
perfected the beauty helps ! use.
And served with France during all
the great war to help repay the
debt.
Now | go further ! am offering
these formulas to all womankind. /
am sharing with all the helps |
found, and what they brought to me.
White Super-cIay
My chief help is a facial clay. Not
the crude and muddy clays so many
use today, but white, refined clay,
clean and dainty, wondrously effec-
tive. 1t is the final results of 20
years of scientific study.
French beauty experts, many years
ago, taught me what clays can do.
Then few women used them, and
those women became the marvels of
their time for beautiful compilations
But science has gone far since
then. 1t has found that rare clay
mineral laden, which brings maxi.
mum results. 1t has learned how to
refine ito remove the useless
mud. 1t has added factors which
give to clay multiplied effect.
No ordinary clay gives one any
conception of what this new-type
clay can do.
