Lately, ever since moneys been tightening

way of saving cash without losing quality.

That's taught me to study values in every

Always used to spend sol a tube for tooth
paste. Then one day saw. Listerine Tooth
Paste advertised at 1sf, so tried it.
AT first / was interested chiefly in the
economy-each person in my family would
cost s. year less, for tooth paste alone.
Results as ssonderfal as the economy
but now we're all Just as enthusiastic over
its results. Nothing could make your teeth
whittier, leave your breath sweeter, and your
mouth fresher.
This is how several million of constant

Not only fnen-women, who are SO particular
about preserving the beauty of their teeth.

The makers of Listerine used all their 4o

this tooth paste And it justified their stak-

CAROL AND BETHLEN
IN SECRET CONFAB
Ex-Hungarian Premier Be-
beyed Seeking Aid in Pro-
tecting His Rumanian land.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.
Ny Gable to The Star.

Ey Cable to The Star.
VIENNA, Austria, December 10.-The
meeting between King Carol Of Ru-
mania and former Premier Count Ste
phen Bethlen Of Hungary in the lonely
border district of TemeSvar involved
personal business of curious and COM
plicated sort, it was said here.
Count Bethlen lost property in Tran
sylvania amounting 70 $4,000 acres of
rich land and valued at about IL I,000,-
90 pengos by the peace treaties
which gave the region TO Rumania
Landowners, like Count Bethlen, who
%opted" for the Hungarian nationality
when their property was conflscated,
are to be recompensed by the terms
of the complicated Eastern reparation
settlement to about 70 per cent Of their
loss.
Rumania Doesn't Pay.
This money comes, however, not from
Rnmania-which took the land-but
from the Hungarian government as a
regular reparations. 1t is the Hun
garian government which recompenses
itS appropriated landowners.
This is why Hungary for time Sc
rretly opposed the Hoover moratorium,
since powerful men like Count Bethlen
and other aristocrats stood to lose the
annual installment of their personal
share of the reparations Since Hun
gary has paid what little reparations it
has TO pay only by means of foreign,
chiefly American, loans to Hungary, it
has really been the American taxpayer
that has reimbursed Count Bethlen and
other Hungarian nlagnates for the
Ruma1ian seizure of their estates A
nice irony this-say many Americans.
Lands to Be Divided.
Now it appears Transylvanian prop
erty will be taken by the Rumanian
land reform. 1t appears. moreover, that
Count Bethlen's valuable land, so far
spared division, is scheduled to be the
next block to be divided. Therefore
well Informed persons say, Count Beth
len arranged to meet King Carol and
ery TO effect postponenent OF this ac-
tion or, otherwise, make new arrange
nnent
Count Bethlen could not visit Ru-
mania as long as he was premier, and
this Is the first chance he has had to
see his old home and also his fathers
grave. The meeting is said to have no
direct political significance. The min
listers OF the other little entente coun-
tries in Bucharest, who fear q rap
prochement with Hungary, have there
fore lodged an official protest demand
ing information about the meeting. It
is said Count Bethlen Is contemplating
retirement from Hungary and may go
20 Rumania TO live on his estates.
