He declared with an em- phatic series of 'syesses" that he would oppose reduction or cancel latton of the European indebted ness and in common with Chair man Collier of the house ways and means committee, would oppose recreation of the debt funding commission.
 The recreation of the debt com msision was one of the suggestions offered by MT Hoover in his con- ference with Governor Roosevelt. Roosevelt declined to accept the plan.
 Secretary of Treasury Mills, MT Hoover's close adviser on war debt matters. indicated that the White House probably would make pub- lie statement on the result of to- days conference.

Modern medical science now throws an entirely new light on sore throat. A way that eases the pain. rawness and irritation in as little as two or three minutes.
 Results are among the most extraordinary in medical science. On doctors advice, millions are fol- lowing this way <. discarding old time "washes" and "antiseptics." For If has been found fhdf only n1edi- cine can heip sore fhroot.
 Simple To Do. All you do is crush and dissolve three BAYER Aspirin Tablets in half a glass of water. Gargle with it twice--as pictured above. If you have any indication of a cold - before gar gling take 2 Bayer Aspirin Tablets with a full glass of water. This is to combat any signs of cold that have gone into your system. Keep on taking if cold has ''hold." For Genuine Bayer Aspirin will not harm you. Your doctor will tell you, it does not depress the heart. Get a box of 12 or a bottle of 100 at any drug store.

WASHINGTON fashions = ByWImo LoVTe

AN old-fashioned sleeve makes
a new-fashioned gown" writes
a clever New York advertiser.
We find it no less true down
here, and we also find our
stores full of the new, very new
fashioned dresses with sleeves
that have fine flavor of the
past. Some people call them
EdWardian, others Victorian,
still others refer to them as
fashions of the '9Os. But a
sleeve by any name is just as
smart, and some of them are
hard to classify by their inspi-
ration. So no matter what you
prefer to call them, don't for
get that they are most out
standing way of proving that a
dress is very new.
Reminiscent Puffs
There are so many ways of
achieving width, which is the
chief characteristic of these
neWold sleeves, that it's a
shame we can't sketch all the
types. But there are not only
too many to sketch, but so
many varieties that we couldn't
possibly be sure we had them
all. There are sleeves with
puff that stands high, Gibson
girl manner, and they have a
youthful, pert look. There are
sleeves that are puffed so that
they stand out wide, giving ex-
treme width to the shoulders.
Then some of them slide right
down with a smooth, slender
shoulder line, and have their
puff just above the elbow. Still
others have a lower puff. Dol
man sleeves, with no puff, but
with various devices to give
shoulder width are smart, and
there are plain sleeves with
epaulettes. And so on, down to
the smallest details.
Boat NeckS Back
we've Sketched a dress with
Dolman sleeves. the wide lines
accented by military stripes in
black and white. The effect
is stunning, as the dress is
black. and the contrast is eff
tectiVe, as we'll as the design
made by the stripes. This is
a rough crepe dress, rather
plain except for the corded belt,
and the little side jabot at the
neckline. Notice the shape of
the neckline, too, regular
boat effect. and how that takes
us back! The cut of the gown
gives it a very slender effect.

Your Health

Ventilation certainly is one
of the fundamental requisites
for health. And ventilation
includes not only a proper sup
ply of fresh air, but air Of
proper temperature and moist

This being so, I have felt
justified for several years in
calling attention to the prog
ress being made in the man.
ufacture of devices for cooling
and conditioning rooms and
buildings during hot weather.
In the United States, par
ticularly, such devices should
be considered as necessities,
just as much as furnaces for
heating in winter. Over a
long part of our year, in
most parts of the country,
the heat is little less than
tropical. 1t is heat in which
few human beings can func-
ton efficiently.
Moreover, it is quite possible
that the climate in the United
States is changing towards a
more tropical form. 1 call at
tention to an article by w.
Maxwell Reed in a June mag
aZine for a full discussion.
Certainly for the last five
years the winters have been
progressively milder and the
summers longer and hotter.
Both May and September may
be reckoned now as summer
months.
1t is fortunate, in view of
this possibility of a changing
climate, that methods of air
cooling are rapidly approach
ing perfection. 1t can be
said that already practical
effectiveness has been achieved.
Last year I saw little evi-
dence, except in movie the
aterS, of any application of the
new devices. This year all
the dining cars on railroads
on which I have travelled are
cooled. Sleeping cars are
brought into the train sheds
and cooled by the use of
large cooling machines on the
platforms. 1t may be safely
predicted that before long all
sleeping cars will be fitted with
cooling devices and regularly
SO operated in the hot spells.
Some railroads already operate

trains. This will be better
competition for the blsses than
anything the railroads ever did.

little figure. crushed and un-
conscious. A girl in a nautch
dance costume stuffed a dress
ing gown under her head. SAn-
other wearing nothing but tight
fitting, flesh-colored trunks and
braSSier covered her with a
cloak.
Off to one side Lurline stood
alone, breathlessly watching the
efforts to help her friend. She
was stunned-torn between her
desire to rush to her pal and
the feeling of guilt that aSsailed
her. Her hand caught at her
throat as she saw Blonde open
her eyes.

from Blondes tight lips. She
tried to rise, but fell back with

Suddenly catching sight of

her. Now, perhaps you're sat

Lurline turned slowly toward
the dressing room, her head
hanging, as the faint wall of
the ambulance siren echoed
from the street. When she
came down, carrying her hand

left the theater without word

WILD CARGO"

A picturesque lot, these tt
betan hillmen. Enormous. wild
looking fellows, with long mat
ted hair. Dressed in their heavy
felt robes of hammered wool,
they look strangely out of place.
Even the phlegmatic Hindus
follow them around and gaze
at them in awe. wondering, per
haps, how much damage these
giants could do with the big
knives they carry.
There is one group of these
strange people that always try
to locate me when they arrive
in Calcutta with their annual
harvest of pheasants. Failing to
find me, they try to reach Lal.
Early one fall this particular
crew descended upon the town
with one of the most wonderful
assortments ever seen anywhere.
I was off in the interior at
the time. having left Lal in
charge of a collection of ami
mails, birds and reptiles 1 had
assembled for shipment to the
United States. Needing a few
more small animals, I had gone
off to get them, announcing
that I would try to be back in
a week or 10 days.
Too Indefinite
The Tibetans, deciding that
the information Lal gave them
about my return was too in
definite, sold their birds to a
local Hindu trader. Later in the
day they made up their minds
that they had been cheated.
Whereupon they advanced in a
body on the dealer. and throw
ing on the ground before him
the money he had paid them.
collected their cages one by one
and walked off with the whole
lot without saying a word. Not
a blow was struck, not knife
was drawn. Those huge noun
taineers command respect.
Then they sought out Lal
again and announced they had
decided to await my return.
they stored their birds in an
abandoned house on the out
skirts of the city, putting two
members of their party in
charge. The others went back
to Calcutta and waited for
me in front Of the Grand
Hotel until my return over
week later, squatting down in
front of that famous hoStelry
like so many sphinxes by day
and curling up in their felt
robes at night and sleeping
right there on the sidewalks.
l never ceased approaching
their willingness to wait for
me, for it was a really fine
assortment of pheSants that I
picked up from those patient
Tibetans.
