WASHINGTON, Feb. II. W.G-A
growing opposition among midwest
orn Republicans to confirmation of
Charles Evans Hughes as chief just
ice of the United States was mani
fest in the senate today.
Senator Borah of Idaho and
Brookhart of Iowa, who with Hughes
were regarded as the big three of
the stump orators for President
Hoover in the last campaign, We're
expected to make speeches against
Mr.. Hoover's selection of a successor
to William Howard Taft.
Republican Floor Leader Watson
announced his belief that the delay
of confirmation will only be tempor-
ary and that favorable senate action
NAV be expected before night.
Confirmation was blocked by the
lone objection of Senator Cole
Blease, Democrat, South Carolina,
in the senate late yesterday. I'm
der the rules Blease had the power to
prevent immediate confirmation but
Watson had the rules on his side to-
dav and can force confirmation by
a ma joritv vote.
Blease has taken the position that
Taft is not as i'll as has been pubic
" represented. He indicates he
would withdraw his objection If he
could learn from Taft's physician,
DR.. Francis Hagner. that the eondi-
tion of the former chief justice Will
prevent him from continuing in
office.
Blease Not Feared
While Blease's objection was not
taken very seriously by the leaders,
Watson and the others believe it ne
cessarv to force vote of confirm
alton as soon as possible. They have
been aroused more by the objections
lodged against Hughes by Chairman
Norris of the senate Judiciary COM
mittee and Senator Carter Glass,
Democrat, Virginia.
Norris told the senate he believed
the appointment was dictated for po-
litical reasons. He believed, Norris
said, that Hughes represented big
business and wealth and that he
could not support his appointment to
the bench.
Glass is investigating the Shreve-
port decision of the supreme court
which he says was written bv
Hughes when he was justice IL
years ago.
The secret of the situation lies
with the Democrats. Four of them
supported Hughes in the vote in the
senate judiciary committee yester-
day and only Glass and Biease have
manifested any opposition. IF the
Democrats should whole heartedly
ioin Norris and Senator Blaine, In
dependent Republican, Wisconsin,
who also voted against Hughes in
committee. there would be a major
ity against him.

Put the mixture in a box with a
perforated top.
When giving the dry shampoo, first
brush out the hair thoroughly and
divide it into sections of small strands;
it may be parted in the center and
each side divided into six or eight
parts. Shake a little of the orris-root
mixture along the partings and on the
hair, taking care to cover all the parts
Rub the powder into the hair and let it
remain for few minutes. Now brush
down each part in the hair with
INEg, firm, even stroke. This will brush
the powder through the hair, taking all
the dust and grease along with it,
Take care to brush every particle of
powder out. Finally. each strand may
be polished with a piece of old silk.
CD The object is the same as that

hair clean. Those who take cold easily
often prefer to use the dry shampoo
during the colder months of the year.
Also those whose hair is so oily that
it must be shampooed frequently use

the hair too often.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd How can I
cleanse my skin? If use soap it seems
too dry and if I use cold cream it
seems too oily. 90 What causes my
makeup to become greasy looking a
few hours after it is applied? 1t is
worse when I use a powder base. When
I first apply the powder my skin seems
dry. CD / have chestnut brown hair,
gray eyes and fair complexion. What
colors can / wear? What colors will
make my eyes look darker? "a Will
blackhead cream really dissolve black
heads? 60 How can I make my skin
SIXTEEN.
Answer-() Use both. AS your skin
is inclined to be oily l would suggest
that you first cleanse your face with
cold cream and wipe of the CRIME.
Then wash with pure soap and warm
water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Finally
apply an astringent and let it dry on
the skin. (2) Evidently your powder
base is too oily for your skin. First
apply an aStringent and then a vanish
ing cream before powdering. Or you
may use an astringent tonic or lotion.
80 A becoming shade of blue is your
best color. Black trimmed with cream
white or shell pink will be becoming.
Turquoise should be very becoming also,
and for evening orchid, fuchsia, bright
red, rust or pink. A deep shade of blue
gray will make your eyes appear darker
ca A cream which really penetrates
deep into the pores and thus cleanses
them will make blackheads gradually
disappear. In the meantime it is we'll
to be especially careful about cleansing
the face, as the most frequent causes of
blackheads is improper and careless
cleansing methods. (5) If you will
carefully follow all the above SUCCESS
tons and also see to it that you have
plenty of exercise out of doors and that
your diet is correct, the result should
be a smooth and lovely skin, in time.

Good Psychology.

Dentist. aged ~, successful in prac-
tice, also having a good stake in two
or three corporations, happy family,
fine home, shack down the river
n everything, nevertheless complains
bitterly about his inferiority complex.
He calls it that; wouldn't. He says
he received a severe thrashing at an
early age because he had left the oat
box open and as q result horse
foundered. Then later. when he was
working in drug store, he suffered q
great shock when the drug clerk made
him believe he had poisoned child
BY reason of these dreadful incidents
the dentist is now finding 1t hard TO
enjoy prosperity. He just can't close
the Office when Office hours are over
and go on about his other pursuits.
He has a strange feeling that maybe
he hasn't locked the safe or turned of
the water or something, and much
against his will and often to his en-
bsyrassment he feels compelled to go
blk and go all over the closing-up
routine again, and sometimes still
again, and even then he has to fight to
tear himself away.
But just as soon as he does get away,
everything's fine. He doesn't worry at
all over things in the Office.
And he's only AZ, this old geezer.
Well anyway, that's the way he sounds
to me, and tell him so. He comes
right back with further arguments to
corroborate his claim that he has an
inferiority complex. He says when he
was kid his people never allowed
him to think he was quite as good as
anybody else. and to this day that
inferior feeling stays with him. All the
neighhor kids high hated him and his
brothers at every turn, and that same
