ports, Mrs. Phillips said. During the
war entertained at my Marion home
some friends Of my daughter, from
France and Switzerland Apparently
oyer-patriotic residents of Marion re-
sented the fact that Europeans were
guests at my home during war time.
In some manner the reports reached
Mr.. Harding, who had been a close
friend Of Mr.. Phillips and myself for
many years.
The whole thing was silly. never

toned in the Presidents letters. and is
Mrs. William H. Mathee, wife of a for-
mer consul to Switzerland.
Mrs. Phillips said she did not know

charge of the Heflin- Bankhead Alabama

count the ballots cast in the election
despite Senator Bankhead's motion TO

an executive session following an open

contended that the terms of former
Senator Helms complaint we're too
vague to warrant consideration.
Hef1in, who was defeated by Bankhead
in the November elections, asked the
committee for recount of the ballots
cast in Alabama's 81 counties, charging
widespread corruption.
Agents for the committee today re-
ported the ballot boxes were all either

that the ballots in three counties have
been destroyed and in fourth, Dekalb,
a court order had restrained them from

The Mohammedans, he said, could not

that Gandhi not only wished the Hindus

Moslems to cut one another's throat.
The Moslems, he declared, could not

RAIDERS SAVED.
FROMMOB

SHAM KIN, Pa, April Is.
Five Federal prohibition agents
who tried to raid a home without
exhibiting a search warrant were
escorted out of Marion Heights,
near here, by State police.
Arrival of State police prob
ably saved the Federal officers
from serious injury by an angry
mob that rallied to the defense
of the home owner, Albert Schic-
cantino.
The agents burst into Schic-
cantino's home. When he de-
manded to see a search warrant,
the agents brushed him aside and
started to explore the premises.
Schiccantino hastily summoned
a constable, who lives nearby.
The constable asked to see the
search warrant.
When the agents refused to
show any, the constable drew his
revolver and ordered them from
the home.

NsI3il13S CLEANING FLUID
Bad Stomach Cause
Of Bad Skin

You can't expect to have a good
clear fresh-looking complexion if your
stomach is weak and disordered.
Undigested food sends poisons
through your whole body, pimples
appear in your face, skin grows sallow
and muddy and loses its color. Your
tongue becomes coated, breath most
unpleasant. But these troubles will
end quickly and skin clear up if you
will start today taking that simple
herbal compound known to druggists
as Tanlac.
Tanlac contains nothing but herbs,
barks and roots which have cleans
ing, healing effect on a poor upset
stomach. Just tablespoonful before
each meal stimulates the digestion
naturally so that you can eat what
you want without fear of distress.
And when your stomach is in good
shape again see how much keener
your appetite is-watch how quickly
skin begins to grow free of di%fguring
eruptions. The cost of Tanlac is less
than &c dose. Get bottle from your
druggist today. Money back if it
doesn't help you.

Of RED PERIL

"BOlshevism is now in George

George Washington, and at How
ard University BOlshevism has
taken hold very successfully"
With this declaration, Eugene
Fersen, former Russian baron,
sounded warning against COM
munism in the Nations Capital,
III an address last night in the
Masonic Auditorium. Baron Fer
sen warned that, upon compile
tion of the five-year Ian the
Soviet will be ready to strike at
the world, and pictured the
spreading of red doctrine in
schools here as one method of
the broadening Soviet program.
Identifying himself as a natu
rallied American citizen, a resi-
dent of washington, the speaker
continued:
"Bolshevistic propag a nda
daily undermines our institu
tiOnS. 1t buys Government Of
ficialS, university professors,
representatives in various labor
organizations and others. The
Communists are using pacifist
organizations as unconscious
tools to get this nation to dis

Of some kind in this country:
not exactly like that in Rus
sia. We're undertaking the
strength of Russia. In three
more years. Russia will have
successfully completed the five
year plan. 1t will then be the
greatest material nation in the
world"
Baron Fersen warned that the
Soviet is training men and women
for military purposes and perfect
ing new devices of warfare.
In three years, he declared,
Russia will exploit America. In
conclusion he warned:
"They have already succeeded
SO well here that in the first
two years of their plan they
have increased in the United
States by 400 per cent in mem
bers."
