Facial massage is more effec.

with fairly warm water. A
glowing skin surface accepts oily
cosmetics more readily than a

done to the facial tissues If
massage movements have an up

Public preference in tooth pastes Is

why PEBEC0 is the exception rather

Sir Esme Howard Called
The diplomats discussed the intri-
cate problems for two hours last night
at a meeting called by Sir Esme How
ard. the British ambassador, as dean
OF the corps. They agreed that, in
view Of the protest Of Vice President
Curtis against the ruling issued by
former Secretary Kellogg placing Mrs.
Cams social rank below that of the
wives Of diplomats-and, incidentally,
the wives OF cabinet members and
senators-Str Esme should take up the
matter with the new secretary.
Not Curtis Status
The diplomats have made it clear
that they are not questioning the vice
presidents social status. Vice Presi-
dent Curtis, meanwhile, is maintain
ing silence. His friends are convinced
that unless the ruling Is reversed
or some satisfactory understanding
reached he intends to refuse all social
engagements which would bring the
Kellogg ruling affecting his sisters
status into force.
Possibility that the question will
reach the floor Of the senate Is held
out by the announcement of Senator
Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, that, UNI
less Secretary Stimson acts ON Mr..
Curtis protest this week he will in
troduce resolution looking to con-
