According to intimate riends and
business associates of years stand
ing, Brig.-Gen'l Charles G. Dawes,
running mate for Calvin Coolidge
on the Republican ticket, is not
what n would call a profane man.
The nickname, Hell and Maria"
came from Dawes using this express
sion when he appeared before a
congressional committee which was
trying to ascertain whether certain
army expenditures had been regular
or not. Dawes, noting that some
thing out of the ordinary had to be
done to arouse some of the commit
tee and the press to the fact that
the waste of government money
was going on every day, adopted
heroic measures and shouted Hell
and Maria. if you men would spend
more time trying to stem the mil
lions of waste going on under
your noses, instead of looking for
flaws in the brilliant record of the
army, we would have a Hell and
Maria of a lot better government"
The newspaper men seeing a COM
mittee being told the truth in a
most emphatic manne about the
waste of the peoples money, sliced
upon his Hell and Maria exclama-
ton as a good point on which to
hang a news story and this secured
for Dawes the attention of the cit
liens of the nation. The explosions
awakened the people and they sided
with Dawes in his demand to stop
the waste. This "cuss'' word I'M
doubtedly was the cause of the
saving of millions of dollars.
Dawes career has been a most
Interesting one. He was born in
Ohio in 1865. His father was Cen
eral Rufus R. Dawes, commander
of the famous Iron Brigade of Wis
consin. Charlie" Dawes worked
during his college a as chief
engineer on a small railroad in
Ohio. He graduated from Cincin-
natl Law School at the age of 21.
In 1887 he moved to Lincoln, Ne
braska. A great stream of clients
did not come hurrying to the door
OF his office and odd Jobs of en-
cheering during the intervals of
clients afforded him money on which
to live. The majority of his meals
were eaten at a 15c lunch counter
conducted by a nan named Don
Cameron, who catered to university
students n struggling young bus
mess and professional men. Here
Dawes met General John ]. PERISH
ing, who a been sent as a "shave-
tall from West Point to drill
cadets of the Nebraska state uni
versity. This friendship has been
further cemented as the years have
passed.
After building up a fair law prac-
tice he moved to Wisconsin in 1894
where he became president of the
La Crosse Gas and Light company,
later moving to Illinois. He was
very active in behalf of President
Mckinley during the campaign of
1896 and later became comptroller
of currency under the Ohio pres
ident. In 1902 he organized the
Central Trust company of Illinois
and it was largely through his per-
sonal efforts that many farmers
throughout the middle west and
the northwest were helped through
financial stringencies. He served
with distinction in France as chair
man of the general purchasing board
and showed Europe how American
business men can handle big things.
He enlisted in the army, was made
a major of engineers and came out
of the service as a brigadier gem
eral. In June, 1921, General
Dawes was named as director of
the budget, accepting the place with

Blaclxheads Go Quick
 By This Simple Method

Blackheads--big ones or little ones-- soft ones or hard ones-on any part of the body, go quick by a simple method that just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calonite powder from your druggist-sprinkle . little on a hot, wet .cloth--rub over the biackheads briskiy for few seconds and wash off. Youll wonder where the blackheads have gone. Pinching and squeezing blackheads only open the pores of the skin and leave them large and unsightly-while the simple application of calonite powder and the water dissolve them right out, leaving the skin soft and the pores in their
 natural condition.

Hunfington's ChoIera

M. A. P. writes: What is Hunting tons choreaT (
 Answer-Cho is the name applied to what is often spoken of as St. vitus' dance. In this disease, which is also called Sydenham's chorea, the most striking symptom is the restless twitching or jerking movements. 1t has became customary to speak of movements of this type, regardless of their cause, as choreic. Hunting tons chorea is disease that has nothing in common with this form of chorea except the mature of the rest less, cratic movements. The cause is known. The disease usually. appears after the age of thirty, sometimes much later, and shows a tendency to run in families. As a rule it becomes slowly worse and is often accompanied by mental changes. These mental changes may consist of loss of memory and interest similar to those of aid age, tive and acute and may even necessi- tate commitment of the patient to a hospital for mental diseases. .,es. i.
 =. Egg Shampoo
 NJ. s. E. inquires Does egg cleanse the scalp, and is it argood method of shampooing?
 Answer-An egg shampoo cleans the scalp fairly well because most semi liquid albuminous substances like egg white make an emulsion which softens and carries away dirt. There is no advantage, however, in sn egg shampoo. The best shampoo is with soap and water liquid. soap or solid soap as the in- diyidual prefers. For soap for this purpose there is nothing better. than good soap made by one of the repu- table manufacturers. Soap is useful only as cleansing agent. It is not 5s medicine and cannot be made one for the scalp or hair by putting medicines in it. Good soaps are pure soaps, and special claims beyond purity that are made for soaps as remedies for the, scalp and hair and skin are without scientific foundation.

HOUSTON. Tex. Jan. 13.-where the human element" was in doubt. a mechanical device which registers time to the fraction of minute placed the blame for the Katy wreck, near Hillendahl Tuesday night, be- yond any possibility of doubt. The inquiry committee announced at the conclusion of the hearing this after noon that responsibility for the dis aster which cost four lives and in jured 74 others. rests with the crew of the northbound Katy Filler.
 The committees report fixes the time of the wreck at S:57 D. m. and states that Engineer L. P. Thomson of Train No. 26, who was killed in the smash. failed to obey his order to wait at Hillendahl siding until 9 D. m for Train No. g.
 The automatic tape device in the company's office at Houston. which registers the exact time when the telepraghic wires break, was the de- termining factor in the evidence gathered by the board. When the two fast passenger engines smashed together. twisted steel from one en- zine smashed a telegraph pole by the ht-of-way. breaking the wires.
 Engineer Thomson is believed to have misread his order and tried to make the Addicks siding a few miles beyond Hillendahl.
 The southbound train was making GO miles an hour. "bucking a time order" which stated that No. 26 was to wait at Hillendahl until g D. m.
