Color of Her Lips in Precisely the Same Manner as That of the Egyptian FlaPPer at Left. Note the Similarity of Poses and
 Methods of Handling LiPsticks. the Pure Drug Law 1t makes frequent analyses, and any one who put 1ipstick on the market that contained anything harmful would be jerked into the criminal courts before much time had elapsed.
 That the lipsticks manufactured by reputable concerns contain nothing that would harm a baby, has been attested by many previous careful analyses.
 In fact, at least one baby has actually eaten a lpstick, without suffering harm. A few months ago Mrs. Alfred Jerhigan, bobbed-haired young mother of the Bronx, New York City, arrived home from a matinee to find that her two-year-Old had climbed onto the bureau and, think ing it candy, had eaten her 1ipstick.
 The kid was not a pretty sight. His mouth and his tongue were crimson. and Mother was terrified. She called doc tor, sure that if something weren't done .mmediately the child would die of poison ing. Fortunately an intelligent physician arrived. He looked at the baby, at the lipstick, and at the latter's trademark. Wash your child's face and mouth, and forget it," he told the terrified mother. "He has eaten nothing worse than little fat and harmless coloring matter"
 As a matter of fact, the baby who had eaten the lipstick didn't even have 6 tummy.ache.
 This doesn't prove that it is a good eat them. A baby might get bad tummy- ache-just as 1t would from eating any other hard, indigestible. fatty substance but it would not be from poisoning.
 An adult human being, stranded on desolate island, with nothing but a box of lipsticks, might save himself from starvation by eating them He would get some nourishment. He might get indigestion. But he wouldn't be poisoned
 A short time ago two girls, one in Atlantic City and the other in Buffalo, were reported to have died from infec. s5 tion caused by the use of lipsticks. The Y Infections, however, had nothing to do with the ingredients of the lipsticks. There were disease germs clingins to them. just as there might be on food or the fingers and lips. M
 Dr. George M Retan, Health Commissioner of Syracuse, N. Y, has issued the following warning on the subject:
 "A lipstick is inherently harm less, but it should be just as per
 sonal as toothbrush. The way

sick-much less died-from doing it. Whats the answer?
 The answer is the analysis of the modern llpstick. which has been made over and over again by the Government, by city health departments, and by the manufacturers themselves.
 And the official scientific analysis shows that all the commercial lipsticks made by reputable concerns and commonly bought in drug stores are as absolutely harmless as the proverbal stick of sugar candy.
 Here's what the good lipstick is made of:

 Cochineal comes from an insect found in Central America. It is the most harm less of all coloring matters, and is the red generally used in making high grade candies and other red-colored foodstuffs. Carmine is the red pigment obtained from 1t.

A man could eat spoonful of 1t, with out suffering any i'll effects. The amount used in making lipstick could be put on the tip of small knife.
 Manufacturers and perfumers have their own secret formulas and combinations, producing certain delicate odors or shades of color, but the basic ingredients of all good ones are those here outlined.
 There is report current that harm full or poisonous matter is suspected to exist in certain extremely cheap lipsticks --though not all cheap ones-which have recently been put on the market, under unfamiliar names. The suspicion Is that such manufacturers are using English Vernilion, a cheap coloring matter which is slightly poisonous, instead of the more expensive cochineal. Doubt has been ex- pressed, however. as to tho truth of this suspicion. The New York City Board of Health has undertaken an analysis of some of these lipsticks. but its report will not be made public until next month.

 The Victorian mind was wont to associate the use of fouge with the stage, and even, by some quaintly inexplieable proc ess. with lack of responsibility. But prudery could not stifle the growing sentiment that pfopes { makeup enhances the natural charms of a pretty girl.

 Count Byron de Pforok found lipsticks and rouge pots dating back to 400 B. 0. in the ruins of Garth age, and they were used generally by the Greeks, Romans and Orientals from the most antique times. 'v

SPEAKER DEPLORES
 JAP EXCLUSION
Ill Will and Suspicion Will Grow
 in the East

Chautauqua, \. r., Aug. :l.--- Grave consequences ar following as a result Of the way in which Japan csc exclusion was brought about by the recent action of congress" said Dr. Sidney L. Gulick. secretary of the commission on international justice and good will of the Federal Council of Churches, today at the institute on international relations from the Chris tian point of view. The meeting Is under the auspices of the Federal Council of Churches.
 "A billion sef-respecting men and women of the Far East" he declared, will inevitably resent the act of con- gress: ill-will and suspicion will grow
 America Will Suffer.
 America will also suffer in that this illwill and resentment, which may not necessarily lead to war, will cause a demand for the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars for defense on the Pacific coast. Congress will be asked to build the great naval bases already planned at San Diego, San Francisco, Puget Sound and Hon. olulu. for which no money has yet teen appropriated. While such vast construction would mean prosperity for some on the Pacific coast, it would mean higher taxes for the entire country"
 Dr. Gulick, former missionary in Japan, who has travelled extensively in the Far East and is reconized as an authority on the part of the world, characterized the passage of the Jap anese exclusion act and its resulting anti ti-American agitation in Japan as a tragic chapter of misinfofmation, misinterpretation and mischievous politics"
 Wish Good Will.
 Continuing, he said: "The vast ma jority of the people of the United States and no doubt of California wish good will, understanding and peace with Japan. They would unequivo- cally condemn ulterior motives were they openly advocated. The anti- Japanese campaign has been go con- ducted that the people have been com pletely led astray. Molehills have been magnified into mountains.
 And now America as nation has been committed by congress to an at titude toward Japan and toward all Asiatics inevitably resented by bil- ion self-respecting men and women ,f the Far East. For the new fmmi- l grafton law is much more drastic than he gentlemen's agreement or our Chinese exclusion law. It not only .igidly limits admittances from Japan, put also curtails privileges hitherto allowed to Chinese travellers. students md others, even by the rigid exclu- ,ion laws which have thus far been in 'orce. This fact has not yet been gen. srally noted"

FOREIGN CREDITORS unite TO
COLLECT DEBTS FROM RuMANIANS

BUCHAREST, Rumania, March s.
Progress is being made in the mat
ter of funding the trade debts con-
tracted in foreign currencies by Ru-
manian importls during the three
years Immediately following the war.
Agreements were reached in 1923
with British. Swiss and French eredi-
tors for refunding operations to ex-
tend over periods ranging from 20
to 26 years. Falian interests also
are seeking a method of adjustment
but Belgian, Czech and Dutch oredi-
tors appear to be taking no con-
certcd action.
Nothing, however, has apparently
yet been done to bring American
creditors as Lpdy into touch with
the so-called Commission for Reg
ulating the payment of Foreign Com
mercial Indebtedness Contracted in
Strong curreneies," which makes its
headquarters at the National Bank
of Rumania, and of which Mr. Orc
mulu, the governor of the National
Bank, is chairman. Many American
exporters are known to have sub
stantial claims outstanding against
Rumanian merchants, and attempts
have been made by several of them
to have recourse to the courts for
settlement. But a form of mora
torium law still is in effect here,
preventing court action by foreign
commercial creditors against their
Rumanian debtors
Rumanians apparently feel that, if
they are to save many of their most
important commercial houses from
bankruptcy, they must be accorded
legal protection in the settlement of
their foreign debts. They have an
nounced that they are quite ready
to discuss terms of settlement with
the creditors of any country If they,
the creditors. will get together and
appoint representatives with power to
act, either independently or with
the cooperation of their diplomatic
representatives in Bucharest.
The foregoing has nothing to do
with the foreign Indebtedness of the
government; only private merchants
are concerned.
