two principal objectives:
First, to carry out the declared
policy Of Congress to maintain and
increase the gains thus far made,
thereby avoiding the danger OF a
slump back into the conditions
brought about by our national neglect
of agriculture.
Second, to broaden present ADJUST

increasing incentives for conservation
and efficient use of the Nations soil

it has been in removing recent burden

MIR. Roosevelt said he was uncertain
whether specific agreements may be
made with farmers under the ruling OF

Referring to various forms of soil
erosion, Mr.. Roosevelt said that on his
farm at Warm Springs, Ga, the soil
actually washes away in gullies to the
creek bed. While this does not occur
on his farm at Hyde Park, N. Y, Mr.,
Roosevelt said if he did not rotate
crops there and occasionally leave land
to pasture, there would be erosion
through loss of chemicals.

Y TITLE old Rumplestiltskin, who
stamped on the floor till he
broke right through, will come
- to life tonight.
He'll jump on the end Of a string,
however, as one of the marionettes in
the play based on his fairy tale to be
presented at o'clock in the parish
hall of st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
GIT Twenty-third street.
The Capital Marionetteers. junior
high school group of three girls and
two boys, will be both producers ard
actors in the play-actors because they
will have to feel themselves in the
parts and speak the lines in order tn
know how to pull the strings for their
tiny stage figures.
This is the second year that the
Marionetteers have played in Wash
ington. Last year they gave "Hansel
and Gretel," but had only rag dolls for
marionetteS. This year, under the d.
rection of Miss Eleanor Chambers of
the Arts and Crafts Studio, they
studied how to make real Tony Sarg
marionettes. So, in tonight's presenta-
ton, every little f1gure-from RumpIe-
stiltskin on through the six other char
acters they've worked into the play

will be a real marionette they've made
themselves.
They don't learn any set lines for
the play-just make them up as they
60 along, since they all know the story
so we'll.
I'VE were afraid we'd forget the
lines if we had to memorize them"
explained Marcia Bartlett. who seems
to be leader of the group.
It was she who, having had a course
in marionettery in Summer camp
brought the idea land marionette)
back to her friends, all of whom at
tend John Quincy Adams School. She
talked about it, showed them how the
marionette worked-and they decided
they'd give shows.
The boys got pretty good at it after
a time. In "Rumplestiltskin," for ex-
ample, they each work two Marion
cites. There aren't really seven char
acters in "Rumplestiltskin," but since
the marionetteers had that many fig
ures made up they just decided to ex-
pand the original story a bit to in
clude couple more.
That's why, for instance, you'll find
in the show tonight funny Chinese
butler who isn't in the fairy tale
at all.

ences drove Mr.. Wilson into the war.
The only thing that forced his hand
was the stupid policy Of the German
admiralty, which proclaimed war on
ships of all nations by means Of q
submarine attack which gave no warn
ing to innocent persons.
While more than two decades have
gone by, nevertheless, those who re-
call the horror and emotion felt by
the American people when more than
1000 human beings on the Lusitania
were drowned like rats will not say
that the Washington Government had
a neutral public opinion to deal with.
Sympathizers for the German cause
were numerous, but America became
pro-ally when the submarine attacks
started. As for Mr.. Wilson, he never
would have recommended a war dec
laration had not Germany begun war
on cur own ships. It was when ar
American ship. carrying American
passengers, was torpedoed that the
German warfare was finally answered
by an acceptance of the state Of war.
Right Of President.
Neutrality" is but synonym for
foreign policy" and the bills under
consideration in Congress now which
would tie the hands of the President
OF the United States during a war
situation abroad are simply an inter-
ference with a right which, under
the Constitution, the Chief Executive
had always had and should always
retain.
Thus, every day in a foreign war
the situation may be changing. The
diplomatic representatives of the
United States In foreign countries
are constantly reporting confidential
information that may have bearing
on American policy. To put the de-
partment into a legal straitjacket and
prevent 1t from dealing with circum-
stances as they arise is merely to
transfer foreign policy from the hands
of the executive branch to the legis-
lative.

Head of Contracting Firm
Says He Will Reveal
Whole Truth.

GAULEY BRIDGE. w. Va, January
1.-THE head of the firm which
drilled Hawks Nest Tunnel declared
today $50 suits filed by workmen who
claimed to have contracted silicosis
constituted a gigantic "hold-up and
blackmail."
p H. Faulconer, president OF Rlne-
hart & Dennis, contractors OF Char
lottesville. Va, came to this Southern
West Virginia city near the $lO,000,-
900 hydroelectric development with
the avowed purpose of letting out the
whole truth about this job" which
Representative Marcantonio, Republic
an, of New York, claims caused the
death of ats men.
Faulconer said
"The story of these silicosis suits
has been under cover long enough.
Claims Low Death Rate.
"Only 48 men died during the work
here. I don't know how many had
silicosis, but most of them died of
pneumonia. And during that epidemic
of pneumonia, we had lower death
rate in our construction camps than
the rest of this (Fayette) county.
I'VE paid into the State compensa-
tion fund sl66,000. but the Supreme
Court of West Virginia ruled silicosis
was not covered in the provisions of
the law.
"Since that time we have paid out
over 100000 to the silicosis racket.
Fraud Suits Charged.
THE records show that men brought
suits who had never been in this tun-
uel, and some others by men who actu-
ally were in the tube an hour, accord
ing to our workmens time sheets"
A congressional subcommittee is
hearing testimony in Washington on
the charge of Representative Mar
cantonio that besides those who died,
$500 men contracted silocosis and are
slowly dying.

caused by breathing particles of silica

many documents alleging that the

sure have been put into the record.
The whole situation comes down,
however. to one thing: America was
selling goods to the allies. and the
people in the farming States Of the
Mississippi Valley were benef1ting by
the high prices and allied purchases.
Had President Wilson imposed an en-
barge on the Allies, the American mar
kets would have been thrown into
chaos, Germany might have over

front, and the position Of the United
States as naval power might have
had to be strengthened to q point

they had no previous knowledge of

Beauty Counsel
By DONNA GRACE

When the thorough creaming
follows the use of soap and water,
the skin will never become dry
and irritated. Girls whose skins
are dry should not use soap and
water, if they do not have time
to follow it with the soothing ap-
plication of cream.
Use the creams and then a
liquid tonic or freShener to remove
the film. This method is used by
many mature women who found
soap and water harmful. We
know a few who boast of the fact
they have not used soap and
water for years. They all have
nice refined skin, but we believe
a frequent ablution of soap and
water would be a more sat1Stac-
tory cleansing method.
Fresh air, sunlight. and soap
and and water cleansing are the
necessary factors for producing
the youthful translucent quality
we find so desirable.

Soap and water is and always
has been our best means of keep
ing the skin clear and refined.
There are times, as you know,
when we think it advisable to dis
penSe with this method of cleans
ing the skin, but it is only for the
dry, sensitive, thin-skinned type.
Even this delicate skin should
have a regular cleansing with
soap and water-but it is neceS-
sary to apply protective and sooth-
ing treatments afterwards.
The scarf skin or cuticle sheds
imperceptibly, and the soap and
water is the best means of remov.
ing this chiffon-like film so that
the surface will be smooth. A
little complexion brush is really
the best means of friction with the
soap and water. Then it is nice to
use the tips of the fingers to mas
sage the creamy soap lather
around the nose. eyes and mouth.
The rinsing is the important
part of the operation, first in tepid
then in cool or ice-cold water
to remove the soap and firm the
skin. The cream is applied, and
the cleansing cream or a very thin
tissue cream is better for this first
application than the firmer tissue
creams.
