Surprise Move Was Made By Prosecutor at the
 Hearing To-day

Chicago, Oct. 29-(UP)-The government unexpectedly rested its case today against Samuel Insull and 16 others in federal court.
 Insull, one time ruler of a two- billion dollar utility empire, and his former associates are on trial in federal court son charge of en- gineering $143,000,000 mail fraud.
 It had been expected the government would require another week, it's fifth, to give to the jury its evidence that Insull defrauded thousands of investors through the operations of his corporation se- curities company, an investment trust
 Following completion of the gov- ernment's case arguments were started on a motion for a directed verdict of acquittal for Stanley Field, prominent broker and head of the Field Museum of Natural history.
 It was argued by defense attor- neys that there was mo conscious conspiracy to defraud" on Fields part and that he did not know ingly grossly misrepresent any facts"
 The surprise conclusion of the prosecution's case, unanticipated by either judge or jury, came after United States District Attorney Dwight H. Gren read the minutes of the Corporation Securities Com pany's last board meeting.

PLAN PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY
 EDUCATION ACT
Tentative Program Is Sent to Hartford Entrances
 to Begin Soon

With the announcement today that the tentative program for the Emergency Education plan in Wa terbury has been sent to Hartford for approval, officials believe that the actual enrolment of students will commence within the next week. N. s. Light, director of field service for the state board of edu- cation, will confer with Dr Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, at Crosby high school this week and it is probable that the program will be definitely an- nounced at that time.
 There have been 90 registra- 'tions for the instructors positions up to the present time. Several applicants who have taken out blanks are urged to return them at once to Miss Edna Harmon, who is in charge of registration at Crosby, in order that the work be speeded up as much as possible.
 As the program followed in each community is dependent on the type of instructions available, it is likely that the subjects to be taught here will be largely of a recreational and cultural nature. 3ncluded v0n the list of teachers who have registered here are in- structors in such subjects as drama, art appreciation, interior decorat- ing, domestic science and contract bridge.
 There will be no restrictions on the enrollees except that no person who can afford to pay for instruc- tions in subjects such as music or other subjects taught by profess sional instructors in the city, will for removal to Louisville where

1 United Press Stan Correspondent Cleveland, Oct 29-(UP)- -The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co giant grocery chain, challenged organized labor today by closing up hundreds of stares here rather than submit to union demands for closed shop.

The Washington times., 1934-06-05

BY JULIET SHELBY
In my search for something
new under the sun to tell you
about, I uncovered a set of
beauty aids that are so old they
seem novel. They date back to
the time when mother, or grand
mother, was expected to get
moist and flushed at the play,
at receptions, when shopping,
motoring, bicycling or travel
ing" And to help these dear
ladies retain their beauty and
that enviable look of composure,
an ingenious little merchant de-
viSed three pocket beauty fresh
eners Of paper.
Yes, mesdames, these relics Of
an age when beauties were fin
ical are little paper booklets Of
soap, powder and nail polish.
Down through the years they
have held their place at COS
metic counters, and that is
easily understood. They are
hygienic, light as a feather,
simple to use and very effici-
ent. And besides all that, they
are a lot Of fun.
To insure a delightful and
refreshing wash with your own
delicately scented toilet soap,
wherever you may be, Just
tear out a soap leaf. To re-
move "dust, smuts and grease
from face" (and that's not
mincing mattersD on a hot
day, use a sheet of powdered
rice paper. It has the peculiar
quality Of being absorbent and
you will be amazed at what it
does remove from your face!
Then a fresh leaf will powder
it in blanche, rose or rachelle.
The third paper miracle is
nail polish-for those of us who
prefer buffed nails. No buffer
is required, only the heel Of
your hand, and your nails &C.
tually acquire a brilliance.
Could anything be more anus
ing and quite as convenient?
Just three small paper booklets,
tucked in your bag or your Of
flee drawer, to keep you i'm"
maculately groomed through
hot summer days! To the soap

Shall She Tell?

The boy I was engaged to six

sky, asked me for a date. But
the girl he is going with, as his
steady" at present, is one of
my best pals, and I wouldn't
think of offending her.
These two have made an
agreement that each may go
out with other boys and girls.
Shall I accept or decline?
c. w.
AS these two young people
have made an agreement that
each may go out with other boys
and girls, I don't see why you
shouldn't accept your former
fiance's invitation, if you care
about doing so. But I should
tell the girl friend about the
date beforehand.

Hair Growth
Dear Miss Shelby:
Do the liquid skin stirnulants
encourage the growth OF hair
on the face?
What is the best way Of
making the hair grow.
Sincerely,
Dear Mrs. G. B.:
There are ever so many
liquid stimulants or astrin-
gents, tonics and skin freshen-
ers, but none Of them, I am
sure, have a tendency to en-.
courage the growth of hair.
Good care will do more than
anything else to make the
hair grow longer. Healthy hair
is sure to grow. Massage your
scalp to keep it active. Brush
your hair every day to clease,
exercise and burnish it.
Shampoo as often as neces-
sary. Give an occasional olive
or castor oil treatment, mas
saying the warm oil well into
the scalp. Leave on as long as
convenient, then wash in sew
eral waters and rinse well. Dry

Underweight Tonic
Dear Miss Shelby:
am IS years old, five feet
two inches tall and I weigh
80 pounds.
Can you prescribe a tonic
that will enable me to put on
weight? Sincerely, M. j.
Dear Mrs. M. j.:
The best tonic is fresh air,
outdoor exercise, lots of rest
and sleep, and eight glasses Of
water every day. This will
tone the system and should
also help you to put on weight.
You should drink at least a
pint of milk every day. Eat
cereal with cream, toast with
lots of butter and corn meal
or bran mullins. Eat cream
soups, rice buildings, custards,
oil dressings on your salads,
eggs, bacon, baked potatoes,
macaroni with cheese.
Eat plenty of vegetables to
balance the concentrated foods,
using butter with them. Take
a tablespoonful Of olive oil be-
fore lunch and before dinner.
