WOMEN
WARNED OF
COSMETICS

Chicago, June 25-Cosmetics were
described as instruments toward
skin ills and LONELINESS, rather than
auxilaries Of beauty when Prof. H.
N. Cole, associate professor of der
matology at Western Reserve Uni
versity, spoke today before the con-
vention of the Ameri Medical
Prof. Cole deplored the increasing
use of cosmetics, which he said were
always harmful to the complexion,
and revealed statistics showing their
consumption and data on the pre-
valence Of poisonous substances in
many common identifying agents.
What was once considered poor
form is now the mode with the
average woman, certainly in cities"
he said, "Most women paint; all of
them use powders of different types.
The average woman uses at least
some of the long list of cosmetics,
and yet many of these women are
unaware of the danger they are run
ming from such use.
"There is the pure mechanical OBJ
struction by cream, powders, and
rougcs employed on the face. The
pores in our skin were intended by
nature to Serve as lubricating and
excretory ducts. If these are con-
stantly closed off, the mechanical
obstruction alone is bound to injure
any skin.
"Then we have the specific chemi-
cal action, depending in the first
place on the susceptibility of the
patient; secondly, on the strength
and duration of the application,
along with the character Of the nos
trum applied for example mercury
arsenic, paraphenylendiamin.
an 1919 American women spent
S2O5 100000 in the quest for beauty
by way of the cosmetic path, while
in 1921 manufacturers put on $751;
100000 more of cosmetics than in
1919. Today the question of beauty
ills and dangerous conditions ha:
become important enough to come
before the convention of physicians
occupied chiefly with advanced
methods in the diagnosis and cure
| Of disease"

MUSCLE SHOALS
PROJECT DATES
BACK 100Y YEARS

Sheffield, Ala, June Is. "a. P.)-
While the development of Muscle
Shoals is but a recent project in the
minds of most people Of the United
States, the history of intent to de-
velop this vast potential power dates
back a century, according to records
under observation here.
The first act of Congress with
reference to the Shoals was passed
by the Alabama Legislature on De-
cember 80, 1923, to improve navi-
cation sin the Coosa river, in the
center Of the state, and to aid in
connecting it with the Tennessee riv'
er in the north.
The company formed under these
acts by Congress and the legislature
was unable to sell it's stock and
on May %, 1923, Congress passed
another act ceding 100000 acres OF
land in North Alabama to the state
so the shoals could be improved.
An amendment to this latter act
passed June %, 1885, permitted the
state to sell this land for less than
S. so per acre, which was the mini
mum price then allowed by federal
statutes. 1t is said some of the
land sold for as low as Is cents
Fan acre.
The total cost of navigation facili-
| ties to 1890 was $2,101 ,726.5O ano
up to 1915 for operation and care
was 81, 406, 372.3O, making total OF
| 81, 598, O98.SO on Muscle Shoals fol
navigation alone.
In 1899 Congress gave its assem-
for The first time for the con
struction of dam and power sta

OLD INDIAN
SCOUT DIES

Fort Yates, N. D., June 25.-An-
other Of the few remaining old
time Indian scouts passed to the
Great Beyond a week ago Saturday
at Cannon Ball, when George Iron
Road died at the home Of his son,
Andrew Iron Road, and was buried
in the Cannon Ball cemetery the fol-
lowing Monday.
Andrew frop Road has to his credit
long and valuable service as an
Indian scout. While acting as such
he was stationed at Fort Rice, Fort
Lincoln, and Fort Yates, also serv-
ing as a scout with Custer. He was
one of the small party who accom-,
panied the Northern Pacific railroad
surveyors west from Mandan.
He was one of the first to adopt
Christianity and the ways of civiliza-
tion. His exemplary life since then
has been of great help to his many
friends, and especially to the young
people who have grown up about
him. - < 4ep7s

Fort Yates, NJ D., June 25.-Not-
outstanding the many reports OF
hail from various sections of the
slope country, the county auditor OF
Sioux County reports that more
Withdrawals from the state hail in
surance have been received this year
than ever before. Saturday, the
fourteenth, was the last day such
Withdrawals could be received.
Owing to the large number OF
Withdrawals coupled with the heavy
hail losses of last year, the state
hail department could pay only 81
per cent of last years losses, al
though the maximum levy of 5O
cents an acre was made. This UNI

mills in the most highly specialized
industry in the country, he said' ana
also with flour mills producing
flour with cheap foreign labor. Inc
Grand Forks mill, he said, in selling
flour abroad also is faced by the
long haul from Grand Forks to the
seaboard. Whether the difficulties
can be overcome remains question
of doubt, Mr.. Shafer said, adding that
the managers of the mill are con-
.fident that they can be overcome.
With regard to the management
of the mill, he asserted that the
present administration was giving II
fair trial. The members OF the

nor, Attorney General and Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and Labor
cannot be expected to direct the
activities of the mill from Bismarck,
she said. For this reason the board
OF managers, to act merely as
board Of directors, was created by
the last legislature, to supervise the
work of those actively in charge

move this board of managers, was
