Avoid These Wrinkles.

One of the first signs of aging is
when there are lines beginning to
show about the meuthi but they may
be warded off for many years, even
long after middle life, If the: Kealth' is
good and proper care has been given
to the skin and tissues. These lines
appear at first when the person is
tired, but disappear when there has
been rest or relaxation. After time.
If the muscular tissue has lost any of
its firmness, these lines remain all the
time, and add many years to the face.
Every woman should want to keep
fresh and youthful, no matter what
her age is, so the thing to do Is to
avoid these lines as long as possible.
One way is keeping the muscles of
the face and throat firm. so there will
be no dropping of the cheeks or bag
giness under the chin.
Youth, to some extent, is a state of
mind, and since women are dressing
so much younger, they feel younger
and act the part. All this has much
to do with lines about the mouth, for

Eighth and II streets, Rev. William
S. Abernethy, pastor Of the church, to-

The minister stated that one of
these places had been raided three
times and finally padlocked, but that
others were open all over the city.
He called upon the pastors to attend
with members of their respective con-
gregations a mass meeting at his
church to be held the afternoon of the
second Sunday in June. At this time,
he said, plans will be formulated to
put the church people directly behind
the police department in an effort to
preserve law and order.
The organization voted today to
change it's constitution. The name

Refugees continue fiocking into the
foreign concession a rea OF this capital
of the radical nationalist government,
which last week seemed in danger
of being encircled by the forces OF
its enemies. Apprehension among the
people has been alleviated somewhat,
however, by statements given out
by the local government claiming mill
tary successes.
These statements assert that Gen.
Feng Yu-Hsiang, military leader for
the Hankow government, has reached
Honanfu and that Marshal WI Pei
Flu has retreated to Chengolo. hither
Feng's forces are following him along
the Lunghai railway. 1t further is
stated that the forces of the Ham
kow government operating in Honan
province are officered by Russians and
that all the foregn military advisers
of Marshal WI Pei Flu have left him.
Business at Standstill.
Despite the reported success and
despite intimidation and threats of
beheading, business here continues at

to accept the new issue of bank notes,
while copper coins have vanished fol-

The central executive council OF
the Kuomintang, the political organ

day by the military council, announces
the capture of Siping and Shanghai
and the area along the Hungho River
and says that the Hankowites now
are marching on Kaifeng and Cherg-
chow, in Honan. Gen. Tangs report
reads: -
Our forces on May IL opened an at
tack on the enemy at Shanghai. Sip

three-day battle we captured Shang-

Whether the foregoing claims are
wholly we'll founded is not known in
Hankow. but the fact that train serv-
ice has been resumed between
Hankow and Chumatien, in lIonan
Province. which recently has been h@ld
by the Northerners, is commented on
as indicating that the Hankow forces
have made a substantial advance in

"The agitation for full-weight deliV'

resulted in the development OF ma

than the making of deep saw cuts at
the appropriate places on the large

Somewhat along the same line Will
be the discussion on how to sell Ice

recommendation. Most of the officials
seem to favor the continuance OF the
present method of sale by measure,
rather than trying to introduce the

introduce many complications in the

making an investigation, and upon that
investigation he made very com.
prehensive report to Congress. The
last investigation was made by Mai.
Tyler. 1t was even more full and
complete than the Langfitt report.
1.-The Senate has three times passed
I bill for the development of power at
Great Falls. The last one was a
development in accordance with the
report of Maj. Tyler. At one time-I
think it was the second time it passed
the Senate-it was in the form of an
amendment to an appropriation bill.
The conferees compromised by provid-
ing that another investigation should
be made and that the project should
be resurveyed because so much time
had elapsed since the prior survey of
Col. Langfitt. In this form the pro-
vision became law and it was under
this statute that Maj. Tyler made his
investigation and report. All this
would indicate that Congress has been
contemplating for some time the
passage Of law which would pro.
vide for the development of hydro.
electric energy at Great Falls. The
Tyler report contains, in addition to
the power dam, several storage dams
and was very complete in every way
After this report had been made the
Senate again passed the bill, and while

and did considerable work on 1t no
final action was had.
1T would seem to be apparent that t
he Federal Power Commission should
await final action of Congress before
granting a lease to any private COR
poration to construct this project.
Under these circumstances it ap-
pears to me that 1t Is only necessary
to call your attention to the action
of Congress in order to delay taking
any action in the way of leasing this
concession to any private person or
corporation. | most earnestly hope,
therefore, that you will not enter into
any lease until Congress has been
given more time to finally pass upon
the subject. 1t will be noted that
each time the matter has come before
the Senate it has passed that bill
by very large majority. 1t has
been, without doubt, the intention of
the Senate 1t has passed that body
House. to finally develop this power
at Great Falls by governmental ac-
tion.
