White House DeniaIS
Turned About When Gov
ernor Airs Affairs.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-From
White House denials and Roosevelt
ian threats there emerged today a
story OF what happens when a
presidential aspirant undertakes a
correspondence with President.
An exchange between Governor
FRANKLIN D. Roosevelt of New York
and President Hoover over the st.
Lawrence waterways project fur
nished the basis for the account.
Roosevelt wrote Mr.. Hoover two
weeks ago asking If this government
was undertaking any secret negotia-
lions with Canada. A week passed
and there was no answer.
From Albany, N. Y, came re-
ports that Governor Roosevelt was
disturbed at his failure to receive
reply. From the White House came
denials Of any knowledge Of a
Roosevelt letter. The state depart
ment swung in line with similar de-
malls.
They Move In Hurry
There the matter rested until
newspapers arrived at the White
House Monday afternoon containing
Albany dispatches stating Roosevelt
was preparing to make public his
letter unless he received an answer.
Within half an hour a stated Of
1cial source at the executive man
sion said there had been letter
from Governor Roosevelt some time
ago" and that the state department.
had replied to It.
An hour later while William r.
Castle, acting secretary of state. was
comforting with Mr.. Hoover the
state department issued this COM
munique:
"The following is the text of a
letter dated Aug. IS, 1881, from the
honorable w. r. Castle Jr., acting
secretary of state, to the honorable
Governor of New York, in reply to
the letter to the President concern
ing negotiations with Canada on
the subject Of the st. Lawrence
waterway:
Just Too Much Mail
Inc President referred to me
your letter concerning negotiations
with Canada on the subject of the
waterway. All that it is possible
to say now is, that no negotiations
Of any kind are going on. 1t is OBJ
vious that when the time comes,
the interest of New York state will
not be neglected"
Whereupon the state official
source at the White House explained
that its denials had been made in
ignorance of the fact that the let
ter had been received.
There is SO much mail at the
White House, it was said. But the
denials had not been intended any,
way to convey the impression that
there was no letter. 1t was added.

Labor Committee Drives to
Get 100000 to
Polls.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug 18.-The
national labor committee for modi-
fication Of prohibition has begun a
campaign to bring to the polls in the
next national election an estimated
15GOO,000 voters who are not
registered at present. Its theory is
that NEST of these citizens favor
modification.
The committee said in letter to
its branches:
"You undoubtedly will find that
the overwhelming majority Of this
great unregistered army of voters
is favorable to modification and it
is entirely possible that registration
of these eligible, but unregistered
voters in many cases will decide an
election"
The aim is to elect anti-prohi-
bitionist congressman. Matthew
Vol, vice. president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, is pres
ident of the committee.

MAKEUP PROBLEM
in FALL FASHIONS

The new fall fashions. which en-
phaSize vivid color contrasts, present
a different problem In makeup. And
the problem is all the more important
because the new hats are so small
that they leave the face entirely ex-
posed, according to Katharan McCom-
mon. associate editor Of Harper's
Bazaar.
The most effective makeup for fall
is the one which accents a woman's
natural colors. she writes in Aro-
matics Magazine. Fall makeup should
harmonic with eyes. skin and hair
and vary somewhat with varying
shades Of dress, she says.
"The effect of makeup which SIM
ply accents nature is tremendously
effective without being at all blatant"
she writes. IF bright shades take the
color out of the face, which they un-
deniably do. the answer is to augment
with rouge that will most nearly
simulate your own natural color. If
you stick to the colors that are be-
coming to your type this rule may be
easily followed"

ASTROLOGY'S HOLD
ON EASTERN MIND

Astrology, which is as clearly one
of the oldest Of superstitions as as,
tronomy is the Oldest of the sciences,
appears to have reached its climax
in the West in the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth centuries, when its posi-
tion was one Of great honor and i'm
portance in the courts of Europe.
But the combined effect Of the Co
pernican astronomy, the Reforma-
ton, and the Renaissance was to
sap its foundations, and after the
middle Of the Seventeenth century its
decline was rapid and unchecked.
In the East, however, which was
its real home, and where Copernicus
counted for little and Luther for
nothing, it has had far longer life
and far stronger hold, and doubt
less has a wide vogue still. In Egypt,
India, China, and Chaldea it was the
subject of elaborate study and high
honor almost from the dawn of his
tory.
The special eminence of Chaldea
in this department is attested by the
Bible when it tells us of Daniels
appointment by Nebuchadnezzar as
master Of the magicians, astrolo-
gers. Chaldeans, and soothsayers.
And it is probable conjecture that
the wise men from the East who fol-
lowed the star to Bethlehem some
five centuries later were ~,agi and
astrologers from Chaldea.
If, after the lapse of 10 more GEN.
turtles this strange hybrid of science
and superstition which fiourished so
vigorously under the clear skies of
the plains of Shinar still retains
much of its ancient power. the fact
is not to be attributed solely to the
conservatism of what till the last
few years really was an urchanging
East. While in the West religion has
helped science to discredit astrology,
its hold upon the East has appar-
emily been strengthened by the great
religious reformation which now
claims more than 20O,0O0,OO0 adher-
entS.
