 ROUGE AND POWDER
Girls Who Use Them Should Be
 Pitied, He Says

A scathing attack against the use of cosmetics such as rouge, lipstick and other artifici2l aids to beauty. was delivered lr-t night by Rev. Peter P. Saurusaitis of the Marian Fathers of hi lso. at the mission for the unmarried women of St. An drcw's parish.
 Father Saurusaitis called to the attention the large congregation the fact that no matter how much any human tries to manufacture human beauty. 1t is impossible 10 do so in such a way that the artificial means cannot readily be seen. He said that artificial beauty must be produced in sucn way that no one ,an distinguish 1t and this is impos-

ARMY-NAVY TICKETS IN
 SPECULATORS' HANDS
Congrcssmen's Secretaries Them- selves Arc Accused of Scalp
 ing Pasteboards.

Washington. Nov. IT PNCon- gressmen may be called to investi- gate the activities of their own secretaries, a number of whom are charged by Representative Hamilton Fish of New York, with scalplng tickets to the Army and Navy foot ball game to be held in Chicago.
 T have personal knowledge he said today that the secretaries of two house members have gotten tickets for the game by using the names of their respective congress- men and have sold the tickets for prices ranging from s2O to $50 apiece.
 T guess this practice has been rather extensive. 4 great many more secretaries have done the same thing. It is something that should not be permitted.
 Fish, who was once captain of the Harvard football team. said he would either introduce a resolution calling for an inquiry or personally place the matter before the house naval and military committees.

bEAU7Y'S VALUE IS
 JUST A THIN DIME
Red Cross Worker Shocked by
 ''GenerouS" Appreciation

Feminine beauty attractive to the eyes as it may be, took terrible slump in the commercial market this morning, when a man whose identity has not been learned. placed his estimate on the cash value oS particularly attractive young woman.
 The young woman, who is Miss E. B. Adler made a decided im- pression upon the man, who is said to be somewhere past middle age, by her particular type of beauty. So much so that he felt called upon to remark upon the fact that she was good looking.
 His value of money seemed to have been one he received during the Civil War days however. when the remark: She's a good looking girl, I think I'll subscribe to the Red Cross,' he walked over and de- posted the magnificent sum of one thin dime on the table where Miss Adler was selling Red Cross mem- berships at the M. B. Trust Go. When she recovered from the shock Miss Adler was assured by others that her visitors appraisal was more evident in the verbal than In fnan- cial appreciation. In the meantime the market on feminine beauty has rallied and again has gone up to par, after its fieeting set back, and the Red Cross Is richer by the sum of 10 cents, because 1t picks good looking workers.
 The amount today was swelled by s191.1O, making a whole total of S1015.10.
 With the time for the drive half completed the committee is genuine ly concerned, at the failure of the public to support the project with the enthusiasm anticipated. Booths stationed in all the banks and at least one drug store do not seem to be attracting the contributions they were expected to.
 No more S25 subscriptions have been received. although ten s checks were received within the past A hours.
 Employees of the Commercial Trust Co.,, raised S2S and s3o was subscribed yesterday at the Lions club meeting. The Lithuanian church sent in s1O. Employes of the New Britain Trust Co.,. subscribed S46. which makes this group the first 100 per cent group in this years campaign.
 A silk banner will be awarded by the National headquarters of the Red Cross to the state showing the greatest percentage of contributions and the committee is in hopes this banner will come to Connecticut.

STOCK PRICES ON

Lowering of Call Money Rates
 Has Influence

New York, Nov. 17.-4P-Stock prices worked upward today in ap- parent response to lowering of call money rates. Such ordinarily unfavorable factors as a cut in mid continent crude prices, a further recession in steel production and a drop in freight car loadings for the week ended November 6. were dis regarded, the decline in freight traffic being due to the widespread observance of election days as a holiday.
 Pools were again active in a num- Der of specialties, Woolworth was bid up four points 10 195 3-S, the highest price in nine months. on rumors of a stock dividend next month. Commercial Solvents B sold off points to POS in the early trad ing. but later rallied to a new high record for all time at 213 S-4.

 General Motors was marked up 3 points. with much of the buying re ported to be for the account Of shorts" who were unwilling to pay the regular and extra dividends of S5.75, which come off the stock on Friday. Other motors were sluggish. Oils discarded the crude price cut, Panhandle Producers and Refiners Preferred actually moving up 5 points.
 Attempts to bid up [. S. Steel met with stiffer resistance, probably on selling inspired by the weekly steel trade reviews which reported opera tions below 30 per cent of capacity, and the first drop in Pig Iron Com posite prices since last July. Sharp gains were recorded by American Ice, South Porto Rican Sugar and stand milling.
 Rails were under accumulation in anticipation of unusually favorable October earnings statements New York Central, Reading. Atchison, Chesapeake and Ohio, Chicago and Northwestern and Southern Railway being among the many issues to sell a point or two higher.

Nothing Definite

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 17.-LP the Olympic games in 1928 IS mat ter for future decision and a ques- tion which has not come before the Yale Athletic association, it was stated at the university today. Prof c. H. Nettleton, chairman of the board of athletic control of the as- sociation said he knew nothing of the matter.
 Harold r. Woodcock, general manager of the athletic association said that as no thought had been given to sending Yale crew abroad in 1928 there had been no consider ation of a training place. More over" he said. 1928 is long ways off and decision as to sending Yale crew abroad might rest primarily on whether Yale in 1928 had crew which was regarded as representa- tive one"
 MT. Woodstock said that during the past summer a German crew at Hamburg, sent an invitation to Yale 10 send representative crew there in 1927 to participate in races. The invitation was declined with regret with the explanation that the uni versity was not in the habit of per hitting it's crews to go on long journeys although in the past it had not been adverse to allowing a crew 10 so to the Olympics which come once In four years.
