''Lehts!' A turn of the switch-and the glare from
the giant incandescents pours down on the screen
stars face. The cruelest test skin meet-this

no need to fear that her skin will not register flaw

She says: "Sr1ooth skin is one of the most
important assets a screen star has. always use
Lux Toilet Soap to guard my Skir-it certainly is

A GLARING blaze of light, flooding the screen
~ stars face. Light SO intense that it reveals
everything. There mustn't be even the tiniest
flaw in the skin.
No actress, according to IS leading Hollywood
directors, has ever been able to win and hold
the heart of the public unless her skin showed
simply exquisite in the closeup. And in the talk.
les there are more close-ups than ever before!
This is why 511 of the 521 important Holly"
wood actresses use Lux Toilet Soap. In addi-
ton, all the great film studios have made it the
official soap for their dressing rooms
The Broadway stage stars have long used this
daintily fragrant white soap, too-and now the
famous European screen stars have adopted it
as their own.
By using Lux Toilet Soap you can keep your
skin just as petalsmooth as nine out of ten screen
stars keep theirs. Do order several cakes-today.

peared to be entirely ASSOCIATED from
the tragic events of the forenoon, but
at other times I got the distinct i'm
preston that some racking secret or
suspicion was undermining his poise.
The breakfast room extended. except
for a small hallway, across the entire
front Of the house, but 1t was no more
than feet deep. The front windows,
which gave on the areaway of the
street, were paned with opaque glass
and heavily curtained. The room was
fitted in exotic fashion and decorated
with Egyptian designs. The breakfast
table was at least II feet long and
very narrow inlaid and unlike the ba-
rogue furniture found in the tomb of

He was lying down-on the sofa"

"He had on that striped robe he

Vance was silent for several moments.
Presently he turned to Markham.
Its not what one would call a crys-
talline situation" he commented. 1.-THE

have been in an almost indecent state
of exposure this morning. observe that
Mrs. Bliss and Salveter were alone with

of 'em might have fingered behind for
a few moments at the conclusion Of the
meal. or perhaps returned. Also, HAM
could have descended to the breakfast

in the house had an opportunity to

Vance reused himself from his ap-
parent lethargy and crushed out his
cigarette.
THE breakfast room, then, was
empty for about five minutes between
the time when Mrs. Bliss and Mr. Sal

you went in to draw DR.. Bliss coffee?"
Just about five minutes, sir"
Nov. focus your brain on those five
minutes, Brush. Did you hear any

The butler looked critically at Vance

How much of the time were you &C

Every little, sir. I merely brought in
the breakfast and retired at once to the

coffee herself"

Certainly, sir. Mrs. Bliss had already

And what about the doctors break

Mrs. Bliss suggested that take him
his coffee and toast to the study. I

INCOME AND eARFIELp,s RAILROAD

The announcement by the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroads that they have withdrawn their applications for per-
mts to extend their lines in McCone county and adjacent territory
again dashes the prospects of the people Of Garfield and central
McCone counties for securing greatly needed transportation. These
patient people have hoped for a railroad for years upon years and to
once more have their hopes deferred is the BEGINNING of despair.
The sorry feature of the situation is that these isolated but pro-
ductive districts had their big opportunity for a railroad and did their
best to improve it when the two roads mentioned first made apph-
cation to extend their lines from Glendive and from Richey. The
Great Northern, the pioneer road of north Montana, with a branch
already built we'll into the large. unserved area, stood ready to extend
a line to Circle and thence to Jordon and west. But the power of a
single Official stood in the way, and the vote of Leonard c. Young,
a member of the Railroad and Public Service Commission blocked
the plans of the Great Northern and left the inland farmers still
waiting for a means of marketing their grain and livestock. Why
Commissioner Leonard Young voted as he did has not been salts
factoriy explained to the people who now suffer unnecessary hard
ship because of that vote.
Leonard C. Young is a candidate to succeed himself in the office
of state railroad and public service commissioner, with his name
in the Republican column on the ballot.
Mr.. Youngs opponent for the important office is Thomas E.
Carey whose name is in the Democratic column.
