COMPROMISE
ON PATMAN
MEASURE
RUM0RED
Numerous "Breaks" Reported
: In Administration Forces;
" 10000 Pleas Received

mCeEnaClOmaA MOVIE OeENACS
Rumors of q new Administra'
lion effort to compromise the
cash bonus issue spread through
the Capitol today as an aroused
public stormed the White House
and Senate with Geographic de-
mands for enactment Of the Pat
man bill.
Officials estimated the tide OF
kilograms to President Roosevelt
and Senators had passed the 1907
900 mark for the last eight days.
They reported a tremendous flood
Of messages pouring eastward In
response to weekend radio ap-
pealS from bonus leaders in sup
port Of the Patman measure.
The rumor of a new Admins
tration move toward compromiS-
ing the issue arose out Of the
weekend Of the President with
Senator Joe T. Robinson, Senate
floor leader, and Senator Pat Har.
rison CD Of Mississippi, head OF
the Senate Finance Committee.
Gaining Support
The Patman bill appeared to be
gaining support in the Senate,
despite confidential polls which
showed the Presidents expected
veto would be sustained. There
were numerous reports Of "breaks"
in Administration ranks aS a re-
suit of a series Of statements in
favor of its immediate enactment
into law.
The fact that a number Of
highly responsible public officials
endorsed the Patman bill over
the weekend seemed to lie behind
these rumorS. They began when
Mariner S. Eccles, governor of
the Federal Reserve Board, an
nounced an issue of Treasury
notes to pay the bonus would be
no more inflationary than the
issue of a like amount of Govern
ment bonds. Then, Jesse H. Jones,
chairman of the RFC, declared it
would be a good thing for bust
ness if the bonus issue were
settled now.
Would Aid Business
These statements came after
Senator McAdoo CD Of Califor-
mia, a wartime Secretary of the
Treasury, declared enactment Of
the Patman bill would help bust
ness and would not damage the
Governments credit.
Finally, Senator Borah (RO Of
Idaho, declared Great Britain
had used the principle of the
Patman bill to help refund its
public debt a few years ago. He
quoted Sir Reginald McKenna,
zone of the great bankers of
the world" as saying the policy
was successful and resulted in
lifting price levels throughout
England.

MEASURE
EXPEDITED

Consideration at an early date
by the House Of the Ellenbogen
bill to create a District rent COM
mission was made possible today
by poStponement of the scheduled
District day.
Although the Ellenbogen bill
was on the calendar, it would not
have been called up because hear
ings on the measure have not been
completed. Another hearing will
be held tomorrow.
PoStponement Of the scheduled
District day was occasioned when
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the House District
Committee, agreed to the delay to
expedite passage Of the legislative
supply bill.
The Ellenbogen bill is one of IL
awaiting action. Others awaiting
consideration are designed to in
crease liquor restrictions, provide
unemployment compensation and
the Norton old-age pension meas
ure.

RENO, New, May 10 Q.N.SO.
Princess Barbara Hutton Mdivani
today was granted a divorce from
Prince Alexis Mdivani II minutes
after she had entered the court

Access was gained to this door
through the office of the county
Jail.

New Deal the Cause
It is all due to the suddenness

A. E. Demaray, assistant direc.

explained today that when the
estimates for the 1885 budget
were prepared a year ago, it was
the intention to discontinue the
use of all rented buildings and
locate all the occupants in the
Triangle buildings, and also to
demolish the temporary buildings
erected during the war. But, he
added:
Gas a result of the emergency
activities, it has been necessary
to maintain practically every
rented building which we had
rented before. In addition to
that it has been necessary to 60
out and rent many more build
ings than we formerly rented

CHUTE JUNPER
LANDS IN TREE

PITTSBURGH, May 13.-Para-
chute jumpers have their ups and
downs. And sometimes they stay
up longer than they expected.
Melvin Henry, 29-year-old stud
ent pilot, had just such an ex-
perience on his first parachute
Jump. He went up, expecting to
some down as easily and as
rapidly as most parachute
jumpers do.
On his way down, however, he
was caught in a tree and the
ropes of the chute bound him so
securely to the tree that ladders
and knives had to be used to
extricate him from his precarious
perch.

tablish the cause of a fire that
swept through a mine of the
Bethlehem Mine Corporation at
nearby Barrackville yesterday,
claiming five lives and sending
six other men to hospital.
More than a hundred workmen
battled nearly a day to bring the
blaze under control. Although
unable to determine origin of the
fire, believed to have started in
a shaft, company officials said 1t
did not result from an explosion.

A once-a-week mask treatment is beneficial to every type of skin. Pro- vided cream is used afterward, a mask is especially good for dry and normal complications that tend to wrinkle; and, when cream is omitted, 1t is excellent for oily ones.
 There are various masks, of course. Practically every cosmetic company makes at least one and a few put out two or three, some that dry quickly-others which take longer. Your choice must depend on the length of time you can de- vote to beauty.
 If you prepare your own mask an easy job to do, less expensive and most satisfactory-try that old favorite, whipped egg.
 Simply take one fresh egg, sepa- rate the yolk from the white and beat each one lightly in bowl Clean your skin with soap and water, pat on skin tonic, dry and apply a thin layer of the beaten white. Let dry, and smooth on a coat of the yolk. Then, without speaking, laughing or wrinkling up your face in any way whatsoever, lie down for twenty minutes. As you rest, try to think only pleasant thoughts so the corners of your mouth will turn up and your brow will remain cam.
 Make Sure Skin Is Very Clean
 If you can, don't think at all, There's 8 good deal to be said in favor of letting your mind be blank for 8 few minutes now and then. It helps to eliminate worry lines. Of course, this is a trick that takes practice. Start this way:
 Gaze at some small, rather col- orless object, concentrating on it, thinking of nothing else. In about three minutes, slowly close your eyes. still visioning and think ing of the little object Don't con- centrate so keenly on it now, but don't let other thoughts crowd themselves into your mind. Grad ualy, as you practice, thoughts of the objects will fade. If other

Smart As a Fox Applies To Furs, Too
BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York.-This year furs are used and styled like fabrics. Glamorous evening wraps of luxury furs have as much style in every line as gowns over which they are worn and are made to flatter your figure as well as to keep you warm.
 Silver fox capes are the darlings of the hour. Every good fashion show includes at least two.> The splendor of theater openings is en- riched by fortunes in silver fox wraps. Society leaders and fascinating visitors from Hollywood at the better night spots are swathed in this be- coming fur.
 You can have a short cape let with the belts arranged horizontally and wear it over a furless daytime coat as we'll as for evening. On longer ones-hip-length and to the floor = skins generally are used straight up and down.
 How to Pick Pelts
 Unless you know a good deal about furs, better take an authority with you when you shop for silver fox. First grade belts are coal black never brownish. The fur is thick, shimmering and glossy.
 The amount of silver has nothing to do with the quail ity of the pelt. An all black one can be right in the first grade class with quarter, half, three-quarter and full silvered ones. The color is a matter of individual choice. Right now, three-quarter sil- vers are most popular, so you'll find these a bit more expensive than belts that have less silver.
 The light hairs in genuine silver fox are black at the root and tip-silver in the middle. Imitation silver fox shows hairs that are dead white from root to tip.
 Shake Fur Vigorously
 If you are lucky enough to get a silver fox wrap, for goodness sake learn to care for it correctly. The fur never should be stroked with the hands or touched with a brush. Instead, when you want to fluff it up and remove dust, shake it vigorously. Don't treat furs gently. On fox ranches where the little creatures are bred and reared to enhance feminine beauty and in large fur houses, fox belts are beaten with a stick l to make them fluffier and more luxurious looking. l Strong men shake them as

UNDULANT FEVER FROM IN-
 FECTED MILK.

UNDULANT FEVER FROM IN-
 FECTED MILK.
 Milk may be perfectly fresh, rich, attractively bottled and capped, per- feet in taste and served in the most cleanly manner, yet contain the germs of undulant fever.
 Cases of undulant fever, (Malta fever, Mediterranean fever, Gibral- ter fever, as it has been variously known) occur in every state in the country, in Canada, Denmark, Swed- en, and other European countries, in Tunis, Algeria, New Zealand, South Africa. The disease was prob- ably brought to this country in 1905. when the U. s. Bureau of Animal Industry imported some goats from Malta, selected from the finest stock on the island, to be used to build up healthy herds of milk producers in this country. Several of the off, cers and men who drank the goats milk on the voyage fell i'll with Malta fever; two who had boiled the milk before drinking it escaped the illness. The goats were slaughtered shortly after arriving at the quar- antine station here, but a woman at the station had already contracted the disease.
 There is so much similarity be- tween the germ of contagious abor- tion in cattle and that of undulant fever in man, that some bacterio- logists believe the contagious abort ion germ, not rarely present in cows milk, may cause undulant fever ir man. The present agitation for com pulsory part boiling (pasteuriZine of all milk is based largely on this assumption.
 Undulant fever is bad business.

 Fruit Seeds.
 I have been told twice recently that eating fruits with seeds, such as grapes, whole entrants, berries, figs, or accidental swallowing of pips when eating orange, cantelople, etc., will cause appendicitis later on co.

 Refreshing.
 You say the skin cannot absorb liquids. How account for the extra ordinary qualification I felt in bath- ing when I was parched with thirst and could not drink the water which was suspect? co. H.
