"DEAUTIFUL smooth skin is the

Melford, famous movie director, thus
expresses the experience of 80 leading
Hollywood directors.
"The public certainly takes to its
heart the actress with a skin that
shows fiawless-fau1tless1y smooth
under the terrific test of the closeup
lights" he continues. "Such a skin is
a prime factor in making her a star"

York County Jail following an attempt
to murder his wife.
Judge Ray P. Sherwood objected to
the introduction of testimony concern
ing the growth of Blymyer's hallucina-
tons which might have gone long
way in the direction of amateur
psychoanalysis and turned the case
into a second Leopold-Loeb trial. He
agreed, however, to accept testimony on
the defendants childhood behavior and
environment after competent medical
testimony as to his present mental con-
dition had been produced. Cohen
promised to have physicians present in

Dr. Milton Cohen. examined Blymyer a
few hours after his arrest and certified

HERMANN that the defendant was
sane.
Declares Defendant Peculiar.
Attorney Cohen has brought out re-
peatedly in his cross examination of
State witnesses that Blymyer has
showed no emotion or nervousness in
the face of possible death sentence,
which might be an indication of de-
mentia praecoX. Mrs. Mildred Downe,
keeper of the York boarding house
where Blymeyer lived for four months
last Summer, said that the defendant
continually was talking to himself and
complaining that he was bewitched by
somebody so that he could not eat, was
losing weight. couldn't keep a job and
that his head had shrunk so that he
could not buy hat that would fit him
He wanted to tell everybodys fortune,
she said, and always kept a fortune
telling book with him.
Mrs Downe testified that he was very
particular about his food and insisted
on keeping his door locked to keep out
witches"
Judge Sherwood indicated that he
would allow no leeway from the. letter
of the law in an insanity defense.

The Judge had an unpleasant expert
ence at noon yesterday when he was
chased across the street, his coat tails
flying in the wind and his hands over
his face by group of camera armed
newspaper photographers, who were
waiting for him when he came out of
the courthouse.

CHIEF JUSTICE DEPLORES
MATERIALISTIC ATTITUDE

demonstration in number OF our in
dustries that good wages and reasonable
hours Of labor are compatible with low
costs of production. Thus the way has
been opened for a constant improve
ment in the standard of living and the
ultimate elimination of that abject pow
erty which was the curse of earlier
centuries.
Sees Mediation Gaining.
"The constant extension of voluntary
conferences between employers and en-
ployes and the growing use of media
ton and arbitration as a means of set
Ting industrial disputes seem to indi-
cate that the day may soon come when
the old wasteful methods of industrial
warfare will be practically abandoned
for more intelligent plans of adjust
ment."
do you feel that equally satisfactory
progress has been made since the end
of the war in the field Of international
relations?" asked.
mo intelligent man can view that
field with complete satisfaction or COM
placency," replied the Chief Justice
who during the 20 years before he was
appointed to the Supreme Court was
one of the leading advocates of inter-
national arbitration and world peace.
Nevertheless, We must have the
patience to realize that the habits and
traditions of centuries cannot be
changed in day. Our system of civil
and criminal Jurisprudence, which is
still far from perfection, was not created
overnight. but was the product of the
earnest thought of many generations
How can we, therefore, expect imme-
diately satisfactory results in the inter-
national field. where every forward step
is dependent upon the voluntary action
of many nations with widely divergent
interests and foreign policies?
What is most important is not how
fast we are moving, but whether, on
the whole, we are going in the right
direction. I believe we are. We can
evidences that the masses of the people
throughout the world have an ever
increasing appreciation of the horror
waste and futility of war and are deter
mined to find peaceful means of set
Ting their international disputes.
The nations are moving to sense
Of obligation that nothing should be
done of a critical nature until their
authorized representatives have had an
opportunity to sit down around a con-
ference table and attempt to reconcile
their differences.
THAT is the significance of the
Locarno conference and the Kellogg
pact for the outlaWry of war. Both of
these are important steps in the right
direction. They have been taken be-
cause.-the governments of the leading
nations have come to realize that the
people want peace.
We have no right to expect the
millennium, but our present progress
should lend encouragement to the
thoughtful citizens of every nation to
continue undated their efforts to pro-
mote world peace and produce enduring
international understandings"

STATEHOUSE, Annapolis Md, jan
uary 9.-Several administration bills
sent to the Maryland General Assem-
bly,, sitting here by Gov. Albert C.
Richie were introduced last night and
referred to committee. The Governor
also sent a special message, submitting
a report of the Maryland Motorists
Financial Responsibility Commission.
This commission was provided for
by the last session of the Legislature,
to study and report on the advisability
of compulsory automobile insurance.
The commission reported that it con-
sidered it inadvisable to enact any legis-
lation on this subject at the present
session of the Legislature, but recon-
mended that either the same commits
sion be continued or another be created
to study the problem further and report
to the 1881 session of the General
Assembly.
Referendum Is Sought.
One of the most important bills sent
by the governor was one providing that
at the general election in November
1880, that the sense of the voters be
taken upon the question of calling q
convention for the purpose of altering
the State constitution or for framing
a ne wconstitution.
One of the bills provides for ar
amendment to the bank and trust COM
pany section of the code. Under one
section of the present law all the capt.
tai stock of a State bank must be paid
in before a bank can begin business
while another section requires that only
one-haf of the capital be paid in. The
proposed amendment would require
that all the capital stock would be
paid in.
The other one, sent to the House
provides for a smaller par value o.
stock of trust companies. The present
law requires that par value cannot be
less than $25 share, while the bill
