Rowe Praises Work.
In a statement made today on the

S. Rowe, director general of the Pam
American Union, declared:
THE conference, which brings its
labors to close today marks an effort
in the history of the relations of the
republics of the American continent,
and will also constitute milestone In
that long struggle for the pacific set
tlement of international disputes in
which all the nations of the world are
so deeply interested.
THE conference has been able to
adopt agreements on both Cancellation
and arbitration which, when ratified
and enforced in the spirit in which they
were formulated, should eliminate all
danger of armed conflict on the Ameri-
can continent.
1.-THE results of the conference mean
a distinct triumph for the cause OF con-
Structive Pan-Americanism and set a
fitting cap-stone to the work OF the
Havana Conference, which met in jan

CONFERENCE NEAR
ENDOF SESSIONS
Pan American Delegates
Have Only Odds and Ends to
Finish Before Quitting.

By the Associated Press.
Only odds and ends remained today
for the Pan-American Conference on
Cancellation and Arbitration. Bolivia
and Paraguay were apparently as far
from war as they were before the first
border fight on December g. Two multi
lateral treaties for arbitration and con-
citation had been drafted. The con-
ference took credit for both accomplish
mentS.
To the apparently general opinion of
those concerned that the conference
had done well was added the news that
President Coolidge was pleased with its
work and felt that a fine spirit was
shown by the delegates in reaching
agreements.
The pacts drafted, regarded by con-
ference members as covering a wider
field of international disputes than any
previously formulated will have to be
ratified by the governments represented
here.
Only two exceptions from the prin-
ciple of compulsory arbitration are
made in the treaties. One would ex-
cept disputes affecting the domestic
jurisdiction of states and the other con-
troversies affecting third parties.
However. IS. countries announced that
they planned reservations before final
approval. These generally would affect
disputes which began before the treaties
were drafted and questions which ma

Home Making Helps
By Eleanor Ross.

Phole, and destroy all the good pack
ing done so conscientiouslyD
Some Of our modern apartments
and homes now contain at least one
cedar-lined closet that is a perma-
nent protection against moths. An
other substitute plan. is to obtain
one Of the portable clothing closets
that can be left in some cool spot
in the house. Line it with tar
paper and hang in it the packed
clothes that are to be stored for
the Winter. Such a closet can be
kept permanently closed, and pro-
tects your clothes almost perfectly.
incidentally, rugs apd carpets also
require proper defence against in
sects. and they have a species Of
their own-the carpet beetle or
Buffalo bug" which is as fond Of
cotton as OF rugs. Carpets and rugs
require the same treatment a
thorough cleaning, packing and seal
ing, and storing in a cool place. in
a strong aroma OF camphor or moth
balls. IL you haven't the space for
giving proper care to rugs or ar
pets, it's cheaper to store outside
with a reliable commercial firm,
than risk exposure Of good rugs to
mOth-hOles.

1.-The skin dry.
This paste bleach may be used as
often as necessary. Should the skin
become dry from the continued use
Of the paste, a light cream may be
rubbed gently over the area at night.
The treatment Of the coarse thick
and dark hair Is a more difficult
problem. Shaving makes the new
growth Of hair stiff and Q con
spicuous. But like all beauty ills,
yer this problem can be combated
safely.
First remove all the superfluous
hair from the legs and arms by shaw
ing. Then rinse the skin in cool
the newly shaved area. That is al
ways the start and If results r to
be satisfactory, the following care
must De given at least every second,
and preferably each day.
All that is necessary for the daily
treatment is a piece Of raw pumice
stone which has been soaked in a
glass Of water for three days. Each
day AFTER getting into the tub $50
that the skin Is wet. run the pumice
lightly over the hairy area Don't
be alarmed II the skin becomes a
little pink, as the slight change in
color is caused by the rapidly in
creased circulation due to the brush
ing, therefore it is only a temporary
reaction.
Keep the pumice stone handy so
that the daily task Is not forgotten.
You will be especially delighted with
the results after you consider this
treatment part Of the bath, for it
| really takes less time than any
other method.
What the purnice really does Is
to wear down the new growth as
soon as it appears. The rubbing
should be no more vigorous than
when a bath or flesh brush Is used.
Either talcum powder or cold
cream may be used on the skin after
the treatment.
