market beauty preparations made
from this clay. Hood declares that
there are some 100 varieties OF
Bentonite and only small per-
centage OF the material mined can
be utilized. When immersed in wat
er. this material increases to IL
times its normal size. The agitation
of an ordinary washing machine
has been found ideal for removing
grit and the clay remains in sus-
pension. Mixed with glycerin 1t be-

use in treatment Of boils and other
skin eruptions.
"It will pull your hat right off
your head" Hood said, in des-I

gun to recount the events of the year
1928 when she alleges the alienation
began.

drawn up today by House leaders with
the aim of getting ready for adjourn

that slowness in the Senate might

On the leaders tentative program,
subject to change, were these bills in
about this order:
Social security. naval appropriations.

extension. ship subsidy and merchant
marine, motor bus regulation and tax
extension. Others may be added or
some of these dropped.
1.-THE House committees are doing
good job" Byrns said. I'VE didn't get
started until a month later than usual
this year and we're moving right
along. That's one reason asked the
members the other day to stay on the
job.
''The committees have been doing
Eno ond u,hor fhau hi1lS I'm IN

The schedule was to pass the security
bill Monday, taking up the $48O. 900 900
naval appropriation measure for two
days Of debate the same day. And
before the end of next week. Bryns
said he hoped the House also could
pass the omnibus banking bill.
Fight Is Seen on N. X. A.
Leaders indicated they did not an
ticipate trouble in the House over the
banking bill But already signs of
difficulty were appearing in preliminary
talk about extending the life Of the
N R. A. Leaders expected to get
through the remainder of the session
without a single additional gag" rule,
unless 1t be on that bill.
ByrnS said, too, that If the utilities
holding company bill is submitted to
the House in its present form-designed
to abolish the companies-"there'll be
a fight over that"
But If the committee should, for
instance, bring In a bill that just pro-
vides for regulation of utilities holding
companies, there would be no trouble
about that" he added.
Asked what reason he had for think
ing the utilities bill might be modified
to that extent, Byrns replied:
None. But I do hear that the
committee is pretty widely divided"

RIGHT TO REARM
CLAIMED BY AUSTRIA
Hungary and Bulgaria Also Con.

Precedent.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, April 18-An unfavorable
reaction was manifest in Austria.
Hungary and Bulgaria yesterday to the
communique issued at Geneva by the
Little and Balkan Ententes demand
ing security agreements as a prere-
quisite to rearmament of the three
Central European nations.
The Hungarian press was unani-
nous in declaring that arms equality
has become a legal right of the dis
armed states as q result Of the powers
acceptance of German rearmament.
The semi-ofiicial Poster Lloyd Of
Budapest said: Hungary and the
other disarmed states clearly have
the right to demand equality, and
precisely because they are maintain
ing an attitude of complete legality
it would be decidedly out of place
to make this right dependent upon
special conditions and concessions"
The Oesterreichische Zeitung of
Vienna in an officially inspired edi-
torial warned that "Austria's will to
defend itself cannot be the subject
of barter and trade"
Similar expressions were contained
in the Bulgarian press comment.
