A GIRL with lovely skin, petal smooth, has A delightful sense of confidence. She knows that she wins hearts wherever she goes.
 Hollywood has found that it is only the girl with exquisite skin whose charm really wins and holds the great public.
 As Lewis Milestone, Paramount director, puts it: Smooth, exquisite skin is more capti- vating than anything else about a girl. A screen star especially must have perfect skin flor the cleverest makeup can't fake it under the fierce lights of the closeup.
 "The girls who have achieved stardom," he goes on to say, though they differ widely in type, all have this essential beauty of marvel ous skin.''

When the popular closeup is being taken, the glare from the new incandescent "sun.spot' lights streams down on the screen star and any defect in her skin would inevitably be registered on the highly sensitized film.
 This is why, of the 45l important Hollywood actresses, including all stars, 442 are devoted to Lux Toilet Soap They have found that this delicately fragrant white soap gives their skin the satin -smoothness necessary for the closeup.
 In fact, so delighted are they with this soap that it has been made the official soap in the dressing rooms of all the great film studios.

TUCSON, Ariz., January 21.-The re-
turn flight to Washington of the mono
plane Question Mark, princess of the
skies, will be stayed at Midland, Tex,
this afternoon in order that the chief
pilot, Capt. Ira Eaker, can attend the
funeral of his mother, who died just
before her son set out to write in the
sky an epilogue to the endurance planes
recent unexcelled fight.
Mrs. Y. Y. Eaker. whose serious ILL
ness last week held up the return flight
of the Army plane while her son hur-
ried home to her bedside at Eden, Tex,
died there yesterday morning of pneu-
monia a short time before the Question
Mark left San Diego.
The Question Mark and an accom-
panying refueling plane which served it
in the recent 150-hour sustained flight
in the vicinity of Los Angeles reached
here in the afternoon after five hours
of easy flight and will continue to Mid
land today. The refueling ship was
scheduled to transfer $50 gallons of
gasoline to the monoplane between here
and Ell Paso.
An early take-off was planned in
order that Capt. Eaker can reach Eden,
$50 miles east of Midland, in time for
the funeral. 1t is possible the refueling
ship or another plane will be provided
the Army pilot for the trip.
Capt. Eaker received the news of his
mothers death before the plane left,
and was bowed by grief when he ar
rived here. An informal reception for
the Army flyers was Cancelled. When
Capt. Eaker started the epochal test
flight both his parents were ill in
San Angelo hospital. They were cheered
when news came that the captain had
landed safely, and ie Immediately flew
to see them. Mrs. Eaker appeared to
be much better when her son returned
to San Diego last Thursday. The elder
Eaker now is recovering from mastoid
operation at San Angelo.

Minor flaws in the technique Of

Physicians and nurses assigned

NO CLASSROONS
FOR 1000 NEW
STUDENTS

Members Of the District
committees of the Senate and
House are aroused over the
fact that when the public
schools of the city reopen
for the fall term there will be
virtually no additions to the
room space available for
handling the normal increase
in student enrolment.
Publication Of stories to the ef.
feet that there will be practically
no increase in the number Of class
rooms has directed attention of
members of the committees to
what they call "a most unfortunate
situation"
Congress has appropriated ade-
Quate funds to construct additional
schools and, in the opinion of Sen
ato"Y and Representatives, these
should have been constructed in
time to care for the additional
number of students who will reg
lister for the fall term.
Inquiry by members of the com
mittees has developed the fact that
four-room addition to the Bowen
School win be the only new struc.
ture available when the term starts
for white children and the only
addition to facilities for the colored
students will be the new Francis
Junior High School with 12 rooms.
1t fs expected by school officials
that the increase in the number of
students this year over those at.
tending last year will be approx.
mately 1000. To care for this added
enrolment there will be available
only the Bowen addition and the
junior high school.
Friends Of the school system on
the District committees are ex.
pected to go thoroughly into the
situation when Congress recon.
venes IN order to find out why
the schools under construction are
not to be available when the term
starts.

After hearing Clayton's declara.

chairman of the Commission, an
nounced that the hearings would be

precipitate a desperate battle
between himself and the legal staff
of the utility companies. Attorneys
4 for the car companies are prepared
to fight Claytons motion with every
possible legal weapon. 1t has long
been contended that a revaluation

sitting would result a lowering of
the high figures on which the
companies are basing their demands
for increased fare.
No value had ever been placed
on the Washington Rapid Transit
Company by the commission. Harley

purposes at 100000.
h In the event the commission up
holds Clayton's motion and proceeds
to- revalue the companies without
giving them the increased fare, the
fight VIII probably be carried into
the courts. Car-company attorneys
have already laid the groundwork
Tor this move by claiming that the
present rate of fare is confiscatory.
clayton said he gave advance
notice Of the motion he will make

his impending move, the hearings
