Guard Against @Flu"
With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches rub on
good old Musterole.
Musterole relieves the congestion
and stimulates circulation. 1t has all
the good qualities of the old-fashioned
mustard plaster without the blister.
First you feel warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief. Have Musterole handy for
emergency use. 1t may prevent serious
illness.

LONDON, july 21.--The British
government does not support the
attacks of the Rothermere press
upon the United States for its
policy with regard to payment of

This was made clear in official
quarters today, when it was stated
that the government does not in
tend to seek a revision OF the
British debt settlement nor does 1t
encourage such attacks as the
Rothermere Press is making.
Newspapers, other than the
Rothermere newspapers, are not

submitted to Sargent about 10
DAYS ago, several days after the
President had let Il be known
that he expected the COMMISSIONS
to retire.
Since submitting his resignation
Fenning has refused To comment
IN order 20 keep from embarrassing
the President, Hogan declared,
knowing the Presidents usual GUS
tom ID not to announce resig1a-
ton until he can at the same time
announce an appointment to fill
the post.
Never Meant to Fight
As the resignation was to take
effect at the Presidents .plsas-
ure, Fenning considered ii would
be improper for him Is comment
until word had been received from
the White House.
Fenning has never entertained
any thought Of fighting for his job,
Hogan said today, and has always
been willing to retire when the
President wanted him to.
Hogan absolutely denied that he
or fleming had minated during
the final day Of the last session
Of Congress that Fenning would
retire in order to stave off Con-
gressional action.
The resignation was submitted to
Sargent, Hogan said, merely for
transmission to the President, who
was out Of town, and not to Sar-
gent as the head Of the Department
OF Justice.
Fenning viii not consider him
self out Of office, his counsel
stated, until the President issues d
formal statement saying that his
resignation has been accepted, or
until a new Commissioner has been
appointed.

Chorus Girls Get Surprising Mark in Brain Test

next, went all the beauties picked by
those well known connoiSSeurS
Messrs. Shubert and Flo Ziegfeld.
X x x x
THESE gentlemen are usually con
Sidered the greatest gathererS OF
pulchritude. That is why the doctor
chose chorus girls as subjects. we
had a number of long evaded problems
to be solved concerning beauty, so he
desired to obtain a group which would
maintain a standard of good looks.
An ordinary group of girls, chosen at
random, wouldn't do. But the Selec'
tions of Ziegfe1d and Shubert-wel,
any one will tell you they form as
beautiful an aggregation as there is.
Given these prodigies OF charm and
symmetry. we proceeded with our IN
vestigations We wanted to know
whether they really are as dumb as
they have be n maliciously made out.
We wondered how they would stack
up in Intelligence with the average
business man. for instance. Or with
college boys. or actors, or any other
people with whom the chlorine Is
connected by legend. We asked our
selves whether gentlemen are wise ir
preferring blondS. And we were curl
Gus to dis .over what compilations II
the opposite sex these much-pursued
ladies really fancied.
X \: X X
OUR biggest task was to catch the
girls. And let it be said here
that l feel, in view of the results Of
our tests, that we have done the
chorus world a great service. It was
hard to get the girls started, because
they We're afraid. People had told
them so long that they were dumb
that they believed it.
We would wait for the end of the
first number. Then, as the chorus
trooped back off the stage, out of the
lights through the tall dusty wings,
we would hail them. Scared, poor lit
tie me would face that procession Of
fair near-nudity, gulp and bawl out:
Come take your psychology test!
Nice fresh psychology tests.''
And right there came our first sur
prise. No hard boiled voice with metal
lie ''r's' hade me say where did / get
that stuff. No rasping lady raised a
pluckdd eyebrow and instructed me to
put i'd in my hat. Instead, pretty.
feminine creatures crowded around,
gasping bteathlessly, "Oh, you really
don't think you'N find intelligence
among chorus girls?" or "Oh, l don't
want TO; I'm afraid
If I'D had on dark glasses-which, h,
