The row with Cummings was over tho question of prosecution in legal cases.
 For years the interior depart ment's lawyers had prepared their own cases on public lands, Indians, etc. But Cummings got the president to require the in terior department to se T d all cases to his notoriously slow as- sistants. He refused to let inter- for lawyers go direct to district attorneys.
 As q result Harold Ickes' crusading lcgalists have been champing at the bit. <

1T cant spend money on ex- pensive preparat tions, but l do want to have nice skin and hair, writes q girl in a Middle, Western city. "What should I do to keep my complexion lovely through the years?"
 The best answer, 1t seems to me, Is the old rule that I talk about dition, make the most of beauty amount.
 Fresh water (eight glassfuls a day), reasonable amount of ex- ercise, eight hours sleep each n.ght and plenty of fresh air arc the best beauty treatments in the world. They cost nothing, yet they practically, guarantee rosy cheeks, shining eyes, glossy hair and a supple figure.
 To take daily bath involves so little expense per month that 1t would be silly to try to set 1t down on paper. However, clean liness is one of the first requisites of loveliness and the woman who bathes daily, using n bath brush on back, shoulders and arms, is sure to have a certain fresh charm that is close kin to beauty.
 Smiling eyes and nice disposi- ton have an entirely more im- portant bearing on beauty than any amount of preparations that are to be rubbed on the surface. If you get enough sleep, take ex- ercise and eat the right food. there's no reason under the sun why you should go around with d sour expression Learn to think pleasant thoughts labout the peo- pie you know, the situations you

It was assumed, too, that she would tire of her new toy and try to resume the place in the world from which she had stepped for a mad moment.
 In the meantime, though. the so- cial fates had been busy putting ta- boos on her. The more exclusive invitation lists suddenly would be closed to her, and her grandmoth- CTS old friends would cluck agi- tatedly or purse their lips when her name was mentioned.
