Plane Believed Sighted

NEW YORK, Sept. 5 GN.s).
A plane believed to be that of
Mrs. Beryl Markham. English
aviatrix, was sighted about 200
miles east of st. Johns, New
foundland, at 7 a. M, E. S. T.,
today.
The plane was streaking west

line.
First sight of the plane was
reported by Radiomarine Cor
poration, which stated:
"Aeroplane, probably Mrs.
Markham'S, passed the steamer
Spaarndam at Z a. m, E. S. 7.
Position, 47.54 N, 1922 w.
Heading for Newfoundland"
2,OOO-Mile Route
The great circle airline route
from the west coast of Ireland to
the eastern Newfoundland shore
is approximately 1000 miles.
The position assigned the plane
by the Spaarndam, 200 miles off
the eastern Newfoundland coast,
would indicate the English
aviatrix had covered about 1900
miles of the voyage in 1872 hours
She was last sighted over the west
coast of Ireland at 4:35 p. m

Should the information given
by the Spaarndam prove correct,

ConnmitteeClerk
Says Senate Gave
Authority
International News Service

Expressions of doubt as to
whether the Senate Campaign
expenditures Committee has au-
thority or jurisdiction to investi-
gate expenditures in a Michigan
primary election campaign were
brushed aside today by Robert
L. Jefferys, chief clerk of the
committee.
In the absence of Senator
Lonergan CD of Connecticut,
chairman of the committee, JET
ferys said that "aS a matter of
routine" the committee had de-
cided to "stay out of primary
campaigns, but that in extreme
cases it had the authority to
instigate investigations if called
upon to do so.
Sure of Authority
The question of the committed
Jurisdiction over primary contests
was raised when it sent it's chief
investigator, Louis r. CLAWS, to
Detroit, Mich, where it was re-
ported that a slush fund of ap,
proximately 100000 has been
raised in the state primary
contests.
In reply to a statement by
Senator Vandenberp (R) of
Michigan, and other state political
leaders, that they doubted the
committees constitutional au,
thority to proceed in the investi-
CATION, Jefferys said the Senate
resolution which authorized the
committee, gave them that au.
thority," adding:
"The committee feels that
any question of the authority
to proceed in such cases would
be sustained by the courts"

Census Of Religious
Bodies for 1896

Director William L. Austin of the
Bureau Of the Census announces
that Secretary of Commerce Roper
recently received advice that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had arranged for
the ALLEGATION of funds with which
the Bureau of the Census will take
the 1886 census of religious bodies.
Since 1906, the Census Bureau has
taken similar Census at regular
ten-year intervals and there has
always been a widespread demand
for the reports. Interest has been
manifested in the work by practic-
ally every large religious organiza-
tion of the United States. Director
Austin will at once proceed with the
preparation necessary so that the
canvass may start at an early date.
Of the 213 religious bodies re-
ported in the 1926 Census, "a were
exclusively Negro, while 80 which
were primarily white denomina-
tions had one or more Negro
churches among their number. No
effort was made to enumerate the
individual Negro members belong
ing to local white churches.
The total number of Negro
churches reported was 1885 in
1926 Of which the Negro nc,,A'cts
had 22.081; the African Methodist

Of course, we should never use a
metal file in cleaning the nails. The
sharp stell point gouges the skin
under the nail, frequently leaving
a black line that will not grow out.
1t is best to use an orangewood
stick to keep the nails clean. AS an
added precaution, some women
wrap a bit of cloth or cotton around
the end of the stick if tits unusually
sharp. The cloth can be twisted
around the end of the stick to leave
a point that is sharp enough to
clean the crevices of the nails.
Household duties often stain the
underside of the nails, making them
look dirty and ill-kept no matter
how careful we clean them. In this
case, we must bleach the underside
Of the nails, either with a regular
nail bleaching cream, which you
can purchase at your drug store, or
with some similar preparation.
Although lemon juice will help
bleach the nails somewhat, especial
ly if the stain is light, usually q
more active bleach is needed. One of
the best methods is to soak the
hands in a teacup of water in which
six or eight drops of peroxide has
been placed. The hands may be
soaked in this solution few min
tues after you finish washing the
dishes Of the evening meal.
Hangnails shoulds be given care
full attention to prevent their be-
coming infected. If the hands are
soaked in olive oil occasionally to
keep the skin smooth, and if the
cuticle is pushed back carefully,
there will be less tendency for
these troublesome hangnails to de-
velop. If they do, they should be
clipped down as close to the skin as
possible with a pair Of scissors, and
alcohol or some other antiseptic
should be rubbed over the broken

The lively Spanish custom OF crack
ing Easter eggs on ones neighbor's
forehead seems not to have been con-
tinued in this country.
To understand the intensity Of the
Polish Easter, some knowledge of the
ways of thought of the people is neces-
sary. This Is country where Easter
has its most serious religious meaning.
There are two thoughts connected
with the season-that of Lent, the
long time of penitence and atonement,
and that Of Easter, gay short holiday,
symbolic Of the Joy of redemption. In
Poland during Lent the eating of
meats is rigidly curtailed and during
holy week it is often the custom to add
dairy foods also to the forbidden list.
The Lenten diet in large part Of the
country is said to be rye bread, pota-
toes, oat soup and the famous herring.
