Famous Women Watch Tests

r Social leaders, home economics consultants,
the wife of distinguished cabinet member,
eminent university authorities-women rep
resentative of every type of American femi-
niniy - the committee watched authorities
test the fake and chip soaps used by women
for washing silks. They heard chemists tell
how modern washbowl laundering of silks
demands soap that dissolves instantly -.
works in water as cool as IS degrees F. and
rinses away completely. Could the ideal soap
for silks be made7
Science said Eyes" and before the skeptical
eyes Of II women tested revolutionary new
soap that performed miracles never witnessed
before. It dissolved 80 times faster than flakes,
cleansed in water 20 degrees cooler than re-
quired by any existing soap, and rinsed away
like magic in one swift rinse.

I am told it was pretty sad and

Texas Guinan's picture was ban

":Gloyifying the American

Flo Ziegfeld into Mysteries every

terrible and carried Mary Eaton

The answer, Of course, must
be in the affirmative. Many

the flop. movies like the anaemic

the hits that are talked about.

Quiet weddings are growing In
fashion in Hollywood. Natalie
Moorhead, blond siren in a dozen
recent talkies, plans to be mar
ried the middle of next month to
Alan Grassland, Warner Brothers
director. It will be a simple cere-
mony, performed somewhere out
of Los Angeles.
When they come back from
their wedding trip, there may be
q reception, but that's the limit
of the celebrations. '
In going out Of town for the
ceremony, the film couple follow
the example Of Dolores Del Rio
and Cedric Gibbons, who were
married in Santa Barbara, and
of Jack Pickford and his bride-to-
be, Mary Mulhern, who are in
Northern California and who
may be married by the time this
is printed.
Up until recently, the stars have
been going in for society weddings
with dozens Of showers preceding.
Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon were
widely entertained and nearly a
thousand people (not all invited)
attended their reception. Hoot
Gibson and Sally Eilers also had a

GOVERNMENT MEN AWAKENING, NEED
 SILVER RESEARCH
APPROPRIATIONS SUGGESTED KEEP RESEARCH WORK CO.,
 ING IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Aug, 20, (P- Secretary of Commerce Lamont is considering a suggestion of Senator .Oddie for the calling of a confer Ience of interested parties to meet the situation created by the decline in the price of silver.
 Senator Oddie suggested that the conference be held in Washington from December 9 to II at which time it is expected a large number of mining men will be in the city for Congressional hearings and other business.
 Appropriations of $125,OOO each for the Bureau of Mines and Bureau of Standards for silver investiga tion during the year beginning July II, 1881, will be requested by Secre- tary Lamont. This action was taken at the request of Senator Oddie with a view of improving the price of silver.
 The fund for tste Bureau of Mines will provide for intensive and un- interrupted study of silver econo- mics and research work. The Bu- reau of Standards plans the follow ling research work to develop new uses for silver methods of increaS- ing the tarnish resistance of silver alloys; uses of industrial and en- gineering base metal alloys con- taining small preparations of sil- yer, possible electrical applications of silver which should utilize its high conductivity and resistance to oxidation; and wrapping paper for protecting silver from tarnish- ing during storage.
 The Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, for which Sena- tor Oddie suggested additional funds. states that it has all the facts in connection with the for eign silver situation and did not require more money for further studies.
 The request for the funds for the Bureau of Mines of Standards will be sent to the Budget Bureau for transmission to Congress in De- cember and inclusion in the next appropriation bill for the Com merce Department.
 Reduction of size of the silver dollar and half dollar and their greater use in place of paper money is favored by Senator Oddie as a means for increasing the use of silver.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBION, Mich, February 14.-Some
800 Albion College students went to their
rooms early this morning after several
hours Of rictous celebration, in the
course of which they pro6U the doors
of the city jail and forced police to
accept a peace which was considerably
less than victory.
At least half the students were reg
istered as Police Court defendants,
their names having been taken by po-
lice, who had failed in efforts to incar-
cerate them in the jail and in the
back room of theater.
DR.. John L. Seaton, president of the
college, who made an unsuccessful ef-
fort to induce the students to leave the
streets, told newspaper men that the
poor craftsmanship" of George Bohn,
theater owner, in refusing to admit the
students to his theater, should be
blamed for the disturbances.
The students had stormed the the
alter in celebrating a basket ball victory
over Alma College. Some Of them said
that Bohn had promised three free
shows on occasions of victory during the
school term. but backed down when
told that one of the performances was
wanted last night.

FRENCH TURNING
BACK ITALIANS
FROM BORDER

PARIS, Aug. 20. WH-Authori-
ties at French frontier towns have
received orders presumably sent by
the government, to turn back in
discriminatory all Italians arriving
in France without passports.
The orders were regarded as a
step of the utmost significance and
the League of Rights of Man i'm
mediately protested to the Minister
of Interior against the order, which
was considered equivalent to bar
ring the frontier against all anti
Fascist refugees.
"Italians entering France without
a passport do not do 80 for the pur'
pose of transgressing French laws
but because the Rome government
will not give out any passport, even
to those seeking to rejoin their fam
lilies, if the emigrant is considered
an opponent of Fascism," said the
letter from the league delivered to
the ministery of interior today.
at should be realized that the
Fascists regard clandestine expa-.
triton crime; hence French ac-
ton barring 1taIians Is tantamount
to extradition granted without
vestige of legal guarantees"
Many recent reports have told of
Italians fleeing across the frontier
to Franch towns, some of them af'
ter great hardships in the Alpiuc
