FAVORS FORD'S BID ON SHOALS
itc.n,l.u.4 ,r.~ r... one,

tcsntihusd frsm Pass onO
 which the Detroit manufacturer might object.
 The amendment which would require Mir. Ford to pay per cent interest on governmeAt expenditures on dams at Muscle Shoals since he submitted his offer would make it necessary for him, committee members estimated, to pay into the treasury on the basis of $2S,- OOO, ,O00 outlay.
 EittualIy Same 3ffer
 In voting to report the Mckenzie bill with the Madden amendment, the committees virtually decided to accept Mir. Fofdss offer as made two years ago. Replacement of the Gorgas plant was one of the points stipulated as neces- sary by the Detroit manufacturer when he declared that his offer still stood.
 The X Mckenzie amendment which would require Ford to pay interest at 4 per cent on all money expended by the government on dams sine, the time of his first offer, also provides for a similar rate of interest on any further money the government might expend on the project. The amendment seek ing to make the Detroit manufacturer personally responsible for the full per formance of every phase of the contract offered by Representative Reece, re- publican. Tennessee, was rejected by a .y.~.x kx~ Representative Wurzbach, republican, Texas, adopted yesterday to place the Ford bid under the federal water power act and to limit the lease to 50 instead of 100 years, was reconsidered on a motion by Representative James, re publican, Michigan, and was defeated.
 Victory For People
 Representative Hill, democrat, Ala bama, in commenting on the action of the committee, said: ..The Mckenzie bill with the Madden amendment meets the Ford offer on all fours. This is a tremendous victory for the people of Alabama and the United States. The fight is now transferred to the House foor We will win in the House just as we won in the committee"
 Beside the amendment requiring the payment of interest the only substan. tial change between the Mckenzie bill of last year and the bill reported today is an amendment by Representative McSwain, democrat, South Carolina, adopted several days ago. This amend ment provides that all stocks or bonds issued in connection with the shoals development must at all times remain in the hands of Americans.

AVOID FACE POWDER
 CAUSING BIG PORES
''VNhere both deliberate, the love is
 slight; Who ever loved that loved not at
 first sight?" . Shakespeare.

Poor grades of face powder usually cause the surface of the skin to be- come rough, and make the pores form gaping openings ill the skin. In other words, it becomes pitted. Why? Be- cause they dry out the skin by absorb ing the natural oils which it must have to keep it soft and smooth. Real Face Powder helps the skin retain it's natural oils. has antiseptic tendencies and above everything else, just enough astringency to prevent big pores.
 The wonderfully fine texture of the face powder which bears tie Black and White trade mark proves to the many new users each year the reason it's sale has grown so tremendously since it was first perfected five years ago, the fact that girls use it year after year in preference to higher priced face powder proves further that it satisfies.
 The 25c size is the most unusual value to Ee had. The 50c size is per fumed with the alluring new odor, In cense of Flowers" which words can't describe. Only the tremendous sales volume of more than two million boxes a year of Black anl White Face Powder makes possible dollar texture and quality at 25c and 5Oc.

DANIELS DENIES CHARGES
Says Doheny's Statement That He
 Favored Rockefellers Not True

AdNOiCu kaOChCICuCIS INOt true
 RALEIGH, N. C., Feb. 1.-(By As former Secretary of the Navy, tonight declared that statements made by E. l.. DOheny today testifying before the Sen ate committee investigating Teapot Dome oil leases to the effect that he had during his administration favored the Standard Oil company and other prospective leases of oil reserves, were without foundation"
 Mir. Daniels added that MT. Doheny would have hard time convincing the Standard Oil company that I fla vored the leasing" He said that the only kind of leasing he had favored was to prevent the loss of naval oil by wells adjacent to naval reserves.
 He asserted that he had declined to consider for leasing the oil reserves to two oil men whom George Greet had told him wished to. lease them. He said also that the records showed "that though there were applications to lease oil reserves, not one made to anybody in my administration"
 Text Of Statement
 Following is the text of the state ment issued by Mir. Daniels tonight:
 ''The statement that 1 favored the Standard Oil company, in any way at any time, is without foundation. Mir. Doheny would have hard time con vincing the Standard Oil company that I had favored them.
 ''The only sort of leasing I favored was to prevent the loss of naval oil wells adjacent to naval reserves l wished to protect the naval reserve from a New York and all owners of adjacents oil sections. And in such cases 1 recommended the maximum ex- penditure of $500,000 for storage of the small quantities. This would have prevented any large leases or large op- eration on any naval reserves.
 Not long before my term of office expired, Mir. George Greet said two oil men, perhaps, MT. Stack and an other, wished to talk to me about leas. ing Teapot Dome.
 Il told him that I would not approve the leasing of any oil reserves and moreover there was no authority of law to lease these reserves, These gentlemen said they would pay as much as anybody. They said that they were sure Teapot Dome would be leased, ant that as they were democrats and would pay as much as anybody else they thought the lease should gC democrats rather than to let the in. this reserve to their favorites. de clined even to consider proposition told them l had given part of my time for seven years to protecting and securing naval oil reserves, and would never consent to any policy except one
