New York. Jan. 21.--lPt-Wil- nam FOX, motion picture magnate, in a statement published today, de- nied that he had speculatcd in Wall street with funds of the Fox Film Corporation.

 He also denied that he had re- rclved salary of $150,00O a year from the Fox Film Corporation. voted him by dummy and rubber stamp directors" as charged in Mrs. kuser's application.
 The statement said:
 T deeply resent the published statement taken from the bill of complaint filed by Mrs. Anthony R. Nuscr ill federal court. Whatever else may happen to Inc, l propose to maintain my honor. There is not d word of truth 10 the assertion that | have SpcCuIatcd with the money of Fox Film Thcatcrs Corporatiou or with the funds of any company with which I have ever been con- CCImcd.
 Unpaid for Three Years
 Tt is also stated that l have re- cclNcd hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary. In point of fact I rcllnquiahed my salary three and q half years ago and never since re- ccived dollar.

London, April il (P)-Wiliam Graham, president of the board of trade, in addressing a dinner of the British Chambers of Commerce last night, said that>the feeling was gen. eral that the bottom of the business but that no one should give way to pessimism or despair.
 MT. Graham said that the coun- try again was on the verge of reaching the dismal point where there were 1,500,000 men out of work. He blamed the great slump in commodity prices, which pro- noted uncertainty and extreme timidity about buying and manu- featuring.
 If we could be assured we have reached beds rock" he declared, "a great deal sof pending business eould proceed and our industries would be given a great and much needed stimulus"
 But he insisted that although there were undoubted difficulties and undoubtcd weaknesses there also was a great underlying strength in the economic system of the coun- try. The accumulated savings of millions of comparatively poor peo- pie in Great Britain are approXi- mately $t0,000, 100000, he said, and while the industrial system may have been under a great strain in fhe past few mohths it was far from being broken.

HEALTH PROBLEM Is
 SOLVED FOR MANY
They Eat Kellogg's ALL
 BRAN Daily .s

Constipation is the most common menace to health today. It is ex- tremely dangerous in itself and is the source of many other complicat- ing ailments. There is no permanent relief in pills and drugs. Many of them are dangerous.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is posi- lively guaranteed to relieve and to prevent both temporary and recur- ring constipation. If it does not, money will be refunded.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is rough age. And roughage in food helps eliminate the possibility of consti- patton. Most modern foods do not contain roughage. Two tablespoons fuls of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN daily is the proper amount. In recurring cases, ALL-BRAN should be eaten with each meal. It is an essential in any reducing diet. In addition, Kellogg's ALL-BRAN contains iron, the blood builder. It is the original ALL-BRAN, proved effective by millions.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has an ap- petizing flavor. Eat it with milk or cream, in cereals and fruit juices, in soups and in cooked foods. Your grocer has ALL-BRAN in the red- and-green package. Made by Kellogg in Rattle Crpak

and maintain, not because the cars are
cheap. but because automobiles are OPP
Grated in different ways.
The car that is used daily by several
members of the family gets the hardest
wear. The car used chiefly over week
ends gets the lightest wear as a rule.
Some cars are bought new, and hence
are in good condition from the start.
Others are bought badly worn, and ex-
pensive maintenance begins at once.
There is only one way to know motor
ing costs, and that is to keep a record of
all expenditures. This should include
all amounts spent on the car for any
reason. Care should be taken to keep
such .'ecord all the while the car is
operated.
We have known of household man
ayers who only kept a record for a
month or two, and then averaged it
without realizing that motoring costs
are heaviest in fine weather and light
est in the wintry months.
1t is not that motoring has made 1t
difficult for families to get along with
their budgets as that budgeteers have
not all made proper allowance for the
expense of operating car. The result
is shortage somewhere and no ac-
counting for it. Know your motoring
expense for the same reason you wish
to know all of the others-to provide
the means to pay as you go.

Large Feet.

DR.. Richardson (physician) and Miss
Hearn physical educator) observe that
primitive man couldn't afford to mess
around with painful feet, bunions, cal
luses and the like.
Notwithstanding the contribution of
the motor car to modern civilization
man can scarcely afford to have such
luxuries even now, and there are signs
that he is beginning to realize it. But
the women are more reluctant to give
up their self-puniShment. Being, after
all, more submissive than the male, the
female of the species obeyS the dictates
of fashion, and fashion does horrible
things to the feet.
Probably most of the evils built into
shoes purport to make the feet look
smaller than they are. century or
more ago some of our forebearS had dis
covered how to live without working
and with that discovery came the reali-
cation that one could ride or be carried,
rather than walk. almost anywhere.
Out of this evolution or decadence, as
you please, grew the aristocratic af-
fectation of small feet. In our genera
ton happily, young women no longer
vie in fainting, going into decline and
being pitiably helpless in every way.
On the contrary, they're beginning to
accept health as the secret of real
charm and beauty. Freak feet, no mat
ter how tiny, no longer cut any ice in
girls career, whether she elects to
shine in musical comedy or agitate
things via mothers clubs.
DR.. Richardson and Miss Hearn see
the evolution of foot troubles in a
slightly different light. Gradually, they
say, new type of foot was evolved, as
a consequence of the disuse of the feet
by our aristocratic ancestors. q say
ours in the humorous sense) This
new type of foot was shorter and mar
rover than the primitive foot, the au-
thors say; III add it was uglier. too.
The authors remind us it is a we'll
known scientific fact that an organ or
muscle tends to atrophy and lose its
power Of functioning when allowed to
remain inactive after long, habitual
activity. The shoemaker soon took his
cue and devised the freak pointed shoes
with narrow, high heels to make the
any creature feel she had never done q

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June IA, 1861.-Union scouting parties
are constantly being sent out in the
direction of Fairfax Court House, which
is held by the Confederates. A scout
ing party reported today that it got as
far as the village of Falls Church,
where it was warmly welcomed by the
Union sympathizers. The residents
there who favor the Union are eager to
have the Federal Government send
troops to occupy the village permanent
~, or until the present difficulties are
over.
At Spring Hill, miles from Alexan-
drta, locomotive with two cars was
recently forced to turn back to Alexan-
dria, because the Confederate scouts
had burned two bridges. These bridges
have been repaired, however, in the last
two or three days, and the New York
69th Regiment has passed over them in
going by train to Alexandria.
The Union scouting parties are con-
stantly bringing in prisoners who are
charged with attempts to destroy parts
OF the railroad or the railroad bridges
leading southwark. Lately, however. no
ConfederateS have been discovered
within several miles of the Union camp
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River close to Washington.
ConfederateS after having been de-
tanned at Fairfax Court House, reported
here today that there are about TOO
Confederate troops in that town, IN
GLIDING Infantry and Cavalry. The
principal point for the concentration
of the Confederate forces seems to be
south or southwest of Fairfax Court
House.
On the Virginia side of the Potomac
River near Washington the Union
Army is throwing up long lines of en-
trenchmentS to protect the city from
a possible assault by the Confederates
In many places these entertainments
are fitted with frowning cannon. On
various nearby heights, Notifications OF
a more durable nature are being built
The New York Fire Zouaves have Just
mounted several cannon on their breast
works Immediately west of Alexandria
City. Heavy Union guns are being
mounted all along the line of breast
works between Alexandria and Arlington
There will soon be a solid semi-circle
of forts, connected with earthworks,
protecting the approach to Washington
on the Virginia side of the river.

There are few homemakers who do
not have in the bottom of their hearts
q wish for an ideal dwelling. The place
expresses to them the perfection of in
terror decoration, the housing of every
conceivable labor-saving device. closet
space for all things that should be con-
cealed or kept in best condition in such
protecting shelters. 1t is their express
sion also of beauty in house and
grounds.
Fortunately this dwelling is hexible
It has no stanch beams and girders to
restrict its size and shape, nor any set
architects plans to be altered by addi-
tional costs. 1t swells and shrinks in
size and changes in its type of archi-
lecture at will But it continues to
exist as an ideal home.
When the time comes that a house is
to be built or bought the homemaker
has certain definite wishes and require
ments that must be conformed to in
the house itself, and a mature idea of
what it should contain in the way of
furniture, furnishings and labor-saving
devices. 1t is seldom that every item
can be included in house plans and fit
tings, but she can come as near having
the ideal place as thought and purse
can combine to give.
One result of a postponed acquisition
of the ideal house is that ideas become
simplified. At first the care of house
full of beautiful things is submerged in
the thought of having the wish for them
gratifed. Then later one gets a more
selective point of view. Fine quality
and comparatively few articles become
more desirable than many of not so
high a grade.
The idea of labor-saving devices also
becomes modified. 1t may be that the
modification means increase or decrease

elimination Most of these devices are
fine, but occasionally there is one that
