BEAUTY HINTS
If You'd Be Beautiful
BY M. w.

DIV M. w.
Do YOU belong to the chair-sit-
into chairs while reading. Any
way. you will spoil your pretty
tiers? Those women who tap type
writers all day or sew pretty
clothes for the young family-or
probably you do neither. but ave
fallen into evil ways of slumping
backs if you don't sit up properly.
There must be an inward curve
OF the spinal column at the waist
line. In this position muscles suf-
fer from less fatigue, there is no
danger of acqiring round should
ers or %cultivating collar bones that
stand out like little shelves. Sit
pretty if you would be pretty.
NO woman can have beautiful
clear skin unless she takes just a
little time to keep it clean. A good
cleansing cream will do this, but
to keep your skin clear your system
must be kept in good condition as
well.
The term n%ourishing, as applied
to skin, means keeping the skin
sufficiently oily to replace the ma
tural oils which various conditions
exhaust. But if you want a clear
healthy color, firm and youth
full, do your toning and stimulat-
ing with a liquid, either a skin
tonic or a protective lotion, which
ever you require.

and State Road. These latter
types of highway were an improve
ment over the two or three way
highway, but the dual highway
showed the greatest results as
preventive of serious accidents.
Plan For an Industrial Highway
A survey has been made for the
long-considered industrial highway,
To extend from east Wilmington to
Clavmont, where it would join the
Philadelphia Pike. The survey has
been completed and the project VIII
be considered by the State High
way Commission at an early date.
IT will be a relief employment
project if it is undertaken. The
concreting of a number of roads,
for which the grading has already
been completed, is now being post
poned to determine what the policy
on relief work will be. w. w.
Mack, chief engineer of the State
Highway Department, said that as
many as 1 200 were working on the
highway in relief work last winter.
A large portion of this crew OF
workers were on the grading of the
section between the Wilmington

city line, South Wilmington, and
the State Road station, which is
now practically complete. During
the summer months at least $50
men have been working steadily on
concreting work. 1t is the inten-
ton of the State Highway Depart
ment during the coming winter to
devote as much funds as reason
able, should it prove necessary, to
grading work, rather than in con-
creting work, as grading necessi-
tates and affords greater opportun-
ity for the employment of increas-
ed numbers of men in need of
work.

driven to depth of rs feet in the

to prevent sinking. These bridges
are all completed. G. G. Reynolds,
superintendent of the State police,
commenting on the value of the
dual highway as preventative of
accidents, said that it had been no
ticed that there was a very decid-
ed decrease in accidents on the
dual highway than there were on

Court FroWns on Action BY
Defense; Captain Lamb
Reads "ConfesSion"
By JULIA MCCARTHY

FLEMINGTON, N. j., June
80 (I.N.S.) .).-Defense counsel
today moved for a directed
verdict of mistrial in the trial
of John Hughes Curtis, of
Norfolk, Va, charged with
misleading the investigators of
the Lindbergh baby kidnaperS.
The motion was made on the
ground that the prosecution was
quoted in a local newspaper as
having said that Curtis is as
good as convicted already"
The motion was denied.
Sold Near Courthouse
Basis for the defense motion
was contained in the Hunterdon
County Democrat, a weekly news
paper. The newspaper was sold
on the street near the courthouse
this morning. The fifth para
graph of the story read:
The difference of opinion
between State witnesses as to
the good faith and reliability
of Curtis cIews is not material
to his guilt or innocence, the
prosecution contends, vOicing
an aside opinion that Curtis is
as good as convicted already"
The motion was made in the
private chambers of Judge Adam
o. Robbins.
Reads Confession"
Capt. John j. Lamb, of the New
Jersey State police, was recalled
to the stand, to resume reading
of the 29-page typewriter state
ment mac, public by the State
police as the first of the So-called
confessions" made by curtis
that his story of having made
contact with the kidnapers was
product of his imagination.
The statement read by Captain
Lamb was that which State police
said they took from Curtis after
the baby's body had been found
but before he made his alleged
confession" of a hoax.
Defense Asks Question
At one point in the reading
Defense Attorney C. Lloyd Fisher
interrupted to say:

CHICAGO, June 80 I.N.S.).
After pledging the party to
outright repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment, the Demo-
cratic convention today must
dispose of inor revolts
against the banking and eco
nomic planks before finally
adopting it's 1882 platform.
A minority report on the bank
ing plank was flied by William
Gibbs McAdoo, calling for inclu-
sion of a clause pledging enact
ment of legislation to make safe
against loss depositors of mem
Der banks in the Federal Reserve

He was asking for convention
Endorsement Of the Glass-Steagall
bill, which has languished in Con-
gress for many months. There
was a possibility he might win,
since the resolutions committee
rejected it by the narrow vote
of 27 to %.
Bonus Plank Demanded
The economic revolt was led by
Gov. William H. (Alfalfa Bid
Murray of Oklahoma. He pro,
posed eight new economic planks,
including a demand for cash pay
ment of the bonus.
Representative William P. Con
merry of Massachusetts, served no
tice he would ask a record vote
of the convention on the cash
bonus issue, but he must get the
consent of one-fifth of the dele
gates to have the roll called. He
faced defeat, either viva Voce or
by roll-call.
Murray's seven other proposed
planks dealt with remonetizing

control of the banking industry
and initiation of the currency to

own strength, once two or three

Richie Forces Busy
In fact, the Ritchie people
claim they have assured strength
in 16 of the Roosevelt delegations
on the third ballot and thereafter.
For strategical reasons they re-

The anti-Roosevelt allies were
not letting their rivals do all
the raiding, either. They have
been and are busy on their own
account, with the result that
cracks are apparent in the MiSSis-

of which have been considered,
with the exception of Indiana,
more or less solid for Roosevelt.

dripping wet that prohibition can

most issue of the campaign.
BY the astounding vote of 934A

early today defeated a "Straddle
plank" that merely called for re-
submission of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the people, and by
so doing insured adoption of a
prohibition plank that is the de.

But it requires ITO votes to

thirds rule, which the Roosevelt
managers so hastily embraced
when facing defeat in their effort
to abrcgate it.
In quest of those outstanding
