Doctors wife tells
how to acquire a
beautiful complexion

DocToRs' wives smart, youthful,
~ attractive-how do they care for
their skin to keep it always lovely?
Because of their knowledge of the
skin and its structure, they realize that
true lasting beauty can never be &C.
quired merely by a generous use of
cosmetics. Real beauty comes from
healthy skin. Practically all complex
ions would be lovely if it were not for
little unhealthy skin flaws like blem-
ishes, large pores, roughness or oili-
ness. These and other common skin
faults are almost always due to invis-
ible poisons lurking underneath the
skin or to a sluggish aemtaltzsd skin
that needs stimulating.
Ordinary creams and lotions that
reach only the surface of the skin cam

Noxzema is a dainty snow.white
and greaseless cream that sinks deep
into the pores. Its soothing, healing
medication acts like skin tonic -
clears away the deep-seated poisons--
closes enlarged pores - tones and
stimulates a sallow, oily skin back to
glowing health and beauty.

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET MARKET
Convertible List Follows
Trend of Stocks-U. S.
Issues Lower.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-With
stocks irregular today, having their
strong and reactionary spells, there was
i likewise an irregular movement In stock
option bonds.
The first trend was higher, carrying
the two telephone convertibles up "
to 2 points. Atchison and Southern
Pacific 412s each gained point, while
American I. q. Chemical and Ameri-
can International 51as rose from IA
to ! n points. This was followed by q
decline which erased nearly all OF the
gain in these issues.
In small way the terms of the new
Treasury financing Influenced some OF
the declines in Government obligations
as well rs in mortgage bonds. This
was due to the withdrawal of support
from the first group. which had been
given while the market was being pre-
pared for the new notes. 1t was in
fluenced also by the higher returns
available to holders Of the latter than
now quoted on the various Treasury
notes maturing up to March, 1880.
This spread was also a factor in the
market for .municipals and in short
corporation notes. United States Liberty
bonds and Treasury certificates were
inclined to react. Mortgage bonds
were AcaVy, ulC1uuluB u loss Oh pO1IlL
in Atchison Is. with legal issues like
Baltimore & Ohio So selling under par.
In the miscellaneous list there were
early advances in Goodyear and u. s.
Rubber SIS of n point and q rally of
212 points in Fisk Rubber IS following
Thursdays decline Of 10 points. u. 8.
Rubber 7las, which mature next year,
again sold fractionally under par. Lo-
Cal fractions were flrm.
In the foreign list there were signs Of
moderate liquidation in italian munic-
ipals and in some of the Japanese is
sues. A drop Of Ia points to q new
low price of IS occurred in Bulgarian
Is. These bonds sold at 30 earlier In
the year. It was reported that an
American group was bidding for q Fin
nish municipal loan. In this connec-
ton it Is significant that one American
institution has closed its branch in
Scandinavia from lack Of new dollar
financing prospects and that Australia
has apparently withdrawn from the
American market as O source Of new
capital supply. 1t Is now cheaper for
foreign governments with good credit
to borrow at home or in London than in
the United States.

electrical industry would still be crawl.

One Of the most interesting reyela-
tons In the yearbook Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce for 1928 shows that
the struggle to enter the wl1ite-collared
class u just as intense and vigorous a.
1t ever was.
Although manufacturing output was
3 per cent above the previous all-time
peak, yet the number Of workers in the
manufacturing industry has remained
almost stationary. In agriculture,
transportation and mining, too, even
IN the face Of the growth Of population.
the number Of workers has marked time
or else actually decreased.
The reason? There was q decided
shift to other occupations, particularly
to distribution, professional and per-
sonal services. The increased efficiency
OF machinery has freed many workers
from the farm, the mines and the fac-
tories to swell the ranks Of doctors,
lawyers, merchants, chiefs"
Here Is another factor In the popu-
larity Of practical education. Every
young person today is drilled by his
parents into the idea to study to get
ahead" Witness the increase In the
enrolment Of high schools and col
ieges, notably since the war.
incidentally, this very fact makes eff
fective labor organization extremely DIFF
ncult. Every laboring man hopes for
the time when he or his children can
join the ranks Of the white -collared
class. Labor, therefore, constantly has
to shift its personnel
So prosperity works as q two-edged
sword for labor-it Is most welcome be-

cause Of its result for the individual.
But Il blunts the sword by softening its
organization.
The fertilizer industry Is one field
where the United States Is dependent
upon foreign countries for raw ma
terials used, particularly Germany and
Imports Of raw fertilizing materials
amounted to 2,e37,000 tons last year.
These two nations supplied II per cent
OF 1t: The rest came from "a other
countries.
Maryland leads the Nation In the
production Of fertilizers, with about Is
per cent Of the total. Georgia follows
with "A per cent, then North Carolina,
II per cent, and Virginia is fourth. with
3 per cent. South Carolina, Florida
and Alabama follow in the order given.
These seven States together produce
about SO per cent Of the total produced,
The prices paid by farmers vary con-
siderably In different places. a
farmer living near navigable waters is
in q particularly fortunate position.
Those far away from water, not so good
for freight charges often equal the
cost Of the fertilizer itself. ~.

JUDGE RULES WOMAN

Ignores Age-o1d Custom and Terms
It "Senseless" in Federal
Court.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. P.-An ancient
rule OF law in courts Of the United
States and England, forbidding wom-
en- from teStifying In defense Of their
husbands, has been ignored by a Fed
eral judge here.
Judge H. B. Anderson Of the West
Tennessee district declared women can
testify in his court in defense of their
husbands: For decades they have been
prompted from doing so. The prac-
tice has been abolished In many State
courts. but still holds good in some
Federal courts.
The rule was set aside by Judge An
derson during trial Of a man on charges
OF selling narcotics. The defense called
the mans wife and the Government
objected.
Il know the rule you plan to invoke. 4"
Judge Anderson told the prosecutor
but the rule that a woman cannot
testify. for her husband in Criminal
cases in Federal court is ignored in this
district because think It is senseless
and barbarous."
