There are two totally different

matter of fact unless good looks and
good manners go together, appear

are of no Importance to others, since
they evidently are not to themselves.
An unwise conclusion.
Another group Of persons give
precedent to words and acts. Blem-
ishes of character are their concern,
whether they are in themselves or
discerned In others. Occasionally
one finds a disregard of personal
beauty noticeable in individuals in
the group, but more often normal
attention is paid to attire, although
1t occupies n secondary place. For.
tunately the faces of persons who
are seeking to instill beauty of
character into thoughts and actions
reflect these mental and spiritual
traits. Lovely expressions surnass
beauty treatments In transforming
faces, and making them fair to look
upon.
There are pretty faces that are

are homely faces that are so radianr

ALUMINIUM FIRM
HITS MIRA. REPORT
Extension of Code Is Based
on "Unfair" Findings,
Hunt Declares.
By the Associated Press.

The Aluminium Co. Of America
challenged today an N. r. A. report
which spoke Of domination" by the
big concern over the prices Of raw or
unfinished aluminium in this country.
From Roy A. Hunt. president Of the
concern, came . statement declaring
the report by the N. r. A. Research
and Planning Division "is unfair in
its inferences and tends to lend en-
couragement to q very small group Of
the aluminium fabricators who have
private lawsuits against the COM
pany"
After the research divisions study.
N. r. AS governing board renewed
the aluminium code until June 16, but
without fair trade practice provisions.
The code has been the center Of a
controversy.
Several Firms Complain.
The accusation has been made by
several independents that the Alurni-
mum Co. has tried to remove them
from the field by fixing the prices Of
their raw material and then selling
fabricated metal at prices less than
those Of the raw material plus fabri-
cation costs.
Touching on such complaints, the
report said:
I'm some lines Of fabrication, the
Aluminium Co.'S costs appear to be
below those of the others and there
Is nothing to indicate that the COM
pany INDUCED in unfair methods OF
price competition. In other instances
there is evidence that the company
sold below cost of fabrication or at
least without allowing a profit margin
for its fabricating branches.
In most cases, the real intent OF
the company has not been susceptible
Of analysis"
Mellon Holds Shares.
The report declared that the COM
pany's price policy was 'the dominant
factor in the American aluminium
market" OF the company's 1,472 ,625
shares of common stock, the report
said 475,272 were held by the Mellon
family Of Pittsburgh.
President Hunt said that the COM
pany lis much surprised at the tone
of the report, which apparently draws
conclusions and inferences not sup
ported by facts. For some 20 years
Aluminium Co. of America has under
gone various investigations of alleged
monopolistic practices. In each Of
these Investigations it has been exon

w WORRIED diplomats have
~ their eyes glued on Q gen.
wv orally overlooked situation
developing on the Rhine.
The French are throwing
forward forces and pushing them
up against the German border. The
Germans have noticed them setting up
barbed wire entanglements and
trenches between fortifications. The
activity has caused public fears on the
German side.
1t is not generally known, but the
French also are maintaining q IA
hour air patrol along the border. Ap-
parently they are guarding against a
surprise attack from the airplanes
which Hitler recently unmasked in
Berlin.
The French, OF course, insist
these measures are defensive neces-
sites. Those in the knotD believe
they are not that at oil, but really
are subtle threats for diplomatic
purposes.
Fundamentally, this new kind Of di-
plomacy, used by all the other nations
of Europe as well as France, is that of
a highwayman. He points his gun as
defensive threat for the purposes Of
persuasion. This international prac-
tice is rapidly approaching extremes
which are causing our informed states
men to wag their heads in silent
doubt.
