no YOU remember a set Of
~ creams for the complexion
which we wrote about some time
ago, containing Colloidal gold?
They've since become quite popu-
1ar-but they were expensive.
Now we're glad to report that the
benefits of both creams have been
put into one-that seems to me
to be what's happened at least,
and that cream is not nearly so
expensive. Colloidal gold must
not be confused with the metal,
for although it's a chemical de-
rived from it, it is not metallic,
in the sense that you think Of
metals. Colloidal gold has been
known to the medical profession
for some time, but is new to the
beauty world. 1t has an amazing
power to rid the skin pores of
clogging dirt, makeup, dead tissue
and other impurities that destroy
complexion beauty. The action OF
colloidal gold is so effective that
it continues to cleanse the skin
even after the cream has been
wiped away. What's more, it
tones and invigorateS skin cells
while it cleanses. This cream is
the only one that brings the deep
pore cleansing of colloidal gold.
It is efficient and pleasant to use,
and results are quick. In as short
a time as two WeekSS faithful care
the skin shows marked improve
ment. You should go downtown
and learn more about it for your
self-how to use it, just what it
will do for your own particular
skin. Best news of all, though
the other creams came in twin
jars for S., this cream is only 81
for the jar.
Rose Cream Hand Lotion
WIOMEN who put their hands in
w water a great deal, who do
house work, or have to contend
with office soap and carbon paper,
will appreciate this delightful and
delicate pale rose hand lotion.
You can use it as often as you like
during the day, after washing
your hands, before you go out,
and at bedtime. 1t keeps your
hands white and smooth, and
free from sickness. 1t is SOC.

Oklahoma City Plans
Poll ON Extension
Of Oil Well Area

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 49,
The Oklahoma city council voted to-
day to poll property owners through
out the east side residential district
before considering proposal to throw
the entire area open to oil drilling.
An ordinance legalizing March "a
extension election and bringing INSIDE
the drilling zone a strip of land south
and east of the Oklahoma capitol also
was adopted.
The extension, if voted, would end
controversy over drilling of five
state oil wells on state land near the
capital.
A clash between state and munich
pal authority forms the background Of
the "oil war" in which Gov. E. w.
Marland is using national guardsmen
to carry out his orders Backed up
by troops, the Governor today pushed
ahead with drilling of the five oil
wells.
The state land borders private pro-
perty which has been thrown open
to drilling through zoning extensions
in city elections. City officials con-
tend it is illegal to drill wells on the
state land in the absence of munich
pal ordinances granting that author
ity. But Marland takes the stand that
the nearby private we'll are draining
oil from beneath adjacent state lands
and announced he was acting to "pro-
tect state property"

Bible Distribution
In China Mounts to
100000 in 1885

New York, April 16.-Bibe distribu-
ton is on the increase in China, g.
100000 copies having been circulated
there in 1885, according to report
of the American Bible Society.
more complete Bibles were put in
circulation in China last year by the
three societies at work there than in
any earlier year." the report says
'The total number issued was $3.50
One thousand Bibles were sent also
to the Chinese in the Philippine Is
lands, and similar quantities of the
Scriptures in Chinese to other parts
of the world"
Changes are noted as occurring in
the Chinese language, Kuoyu, the Of
fetal spoken tongue, having almost
entirely supplanted the written Wenli
of scholars. For that matter the sale
of Bibles and Testaments in English
surpasses the sale of those in Wenli.
Indeed, the number of Wenli Bibles
and Testaments bought for China is
less than the number bought for the
United States, it was said.
"That there is a constand demand
for the Scriptures in the phonetic
character, a recent development to
combat illiteracy by substituting a
phonetic system for the thousands of
Chinese characters, is indicated by
the steady output of newly published
books of the Old Testament in this
form," the report continues

OLD AMERICAN WORDS
TRACED TO VIRGINIA

Norfolk, Va, April 16.-Many of the
idioms of the american language" as
distinguished from pure English, "
have been traced to Virginia origin,
says Sir William Craigie, Photograph
err
"Take the word swamp" Sir Will
liam said. "The first account of it's
use in English is by Capt. John Smith
describing the lowlands of Virginia.
No doubt, he knew the word as dia-
lect in England; but there are no rec
ords in England showing it's use. Early
records of the South and New Eng
land show the constant use of this
word
Backwoods was another word the
earliest use of which has been traced
to Virginia. "The word lynch also
originated in Virginia about 1870, Sir
William said and was named for
Capt. William Lynch of Pittsylvania
in Virginia in the dark days after the
Revolutionary War, when Captain
Lynch drew up a contract binding
himself and his neighbors to defend
each other in time of trouble"

Hillman and Nonpartisans
What was seen as official admis-
sion that some of the most powerful
leaders of organized labor were COM
mitted to the United Front movement
was had here when Sidney Hillman,
president of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers and one of the leaders
of the Nonpartisan League, told a
mass meeting at Webster Hall last
night that the league might become
the basis for a labor party after the
Forthcoming presidential campaign
For the present, however, it will
concentrate on the reelection of Pres
ldent Roosevelt, he said with its acti-
Vities conferred in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois, which he
characterized as pivotal states"
Looking to 1910
The league, as it is now constitut-
ed, has in it's membership Democrats,
Independents, Republicans and So
cialists and is backed by the most
powerful union groups affiliated with
the American, Federation of Labor
Mr.. Hillman estimated that the MEM
bership of these unions was today
more than 100000.

Britain Considers
Buying y. S. Wheat
AS War Safeguard

London, April 16-The possibility of
the British Governments buying up
$20OOO,000 to $4O,OO0,OOO worth of
wheat from America to store here,
thereby giving this country from six
months to one years supply, indepen-
dent of the danger of sea transport
in the event of war was raised in the
House of Commons today.
This proposal, though made without
any official authority, attracts some
attention, not because of any immi-
hence of Britain's becoming involved
in hostilities but because any measure
that safeguarded the most essential
element in the peoples food supply
would, it is thought, greatly increase
British influence for peace in the pre-
sent disturbed world conditions.
Mr.. Edward L. Burgin, Board of
Trade Secretary, replying for the Gov
eminent, promised to investigate this
question in detail adding, however,
that rendering British self-sufficient
or capable of withstanding a siege
was a matter of staggering mag
nitude."

Tree Planting In
South Advised AS
Flood Control

Atlanta, Ca, April 16-Increased re-
forestation by governmental agencies
and private landowners would more
effectually check at its source flood
damage in this section sue has was
threatened recently in the Tennessee
Valley, according to statement given
out here by Joseph G. Kircher, in
charge of the southern region of the
United States Forest Service.
Though the South is not section
of the country where the most de-
structive floods originate, large flood
damage is caused from time to time
by rivers rising in the Ozarks and
the southern Appalachians, and also
by the overflow of streams in the
southern pine states, ranging from
North Casolina to Texas" Mr.. Kir-
cher said.
Seedlings Hold Soil
II know great many people take
the stand that it requires so long for
trees to grow that reforestation,
though it. has it's values, is not i'm
portant in acute situations. This is
not an accurate view. Soil experts
freely admit that the roots of trees
seedlings begin to function as effec
tive agents in holding soil against
erosion very soon after the plants

"There are now 2,138,6O0 acres of
national forest land in Arkansas and
Oklahoma which protect important
watersheds to certain extent; but
to do this job adequately, 2,365,O00
additional acres of land suitable only
for the production Of forests should
be purchased at cost of about ST.,
100000.
"In the southern pine states there
are already nearly 100000 acres of
national forest land, but SO distribut-
ed that another 100000 should be
added at perhaps a cost of $15,OOO,000
to combat the flood menace to future
generations effectively
I'm the southern appalachians we
|Ahave 100000 acres which have been
a vital factor in checking floods in
the rivers of Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia and
northern Alabama. Here we should
have an additional 100000 acres of
land that would probably cost about
$25,0OO,OOO

Rift Mars Drive
To Enlist Labor
Behind President

New York, April 16.-A rift, now no
larger than mans hand, but poses
sing evidences of widening, appeared
today in labors Nonpartisan League
Tor the reelection of President Roose-
welt, following the criticism of the
Public Affairs committee of the New
York Socialist Party, of which the
Left Wing, headed by Norman
Thomas, is in control. DR.. Ladder is
a chief spokesman for this wing. one
of whose aims is to work for a united
front that would embrace the Farmer
Labor group, Independents, Socialists
and voters who are dissatisfied with
the two old line parties.
DR.. Ladder said today that while he
was unquivocally committed to the
united front movement, he was OPP
posed to the reelection of President
Roosevelt whom he charged with hav-
ing fallen short of many of the &C
complishments he should have achiev-
ed. AT the same time he placed the
stamp of his approval on the ultimate
aims of the league as indicated by Sid
nef Hillman, president of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers and one
League, reported in The Christian
Science Monitor of yesterday. This
ultimate aim, Mr. Hillman indicated,
was the formation of the united front
10y 1910.
Stumbling Block to Move
Inclusion Of the Communists in the
movement is one of the stumbling
blocks, there being a wide difference
of opinion regarding whether they
should be admitted, Dr. Ladder said.
DR.. Ladder came out strongly for
the formation of a Farmer-Labor
Party, in the Socialist view, would
constitute the cadre for the united
front. s''s''---- 49, n
Unless there is a definite crystal
lization of sentiment throughout the

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. broken-that
Presidents standing for reelection
conduct a "dignified" campaign from
the cool shades of the White House.
Mr. Hoover made several campaign
trims in 1882, and now Mr.. Roosevelt
intends to cover the country with an
Unprecedented thoroughness.
These plans became known today
from the White House itself. The me-
chanical methods of campaigning
particularly the radio-have made
steady advances since 1892 But Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to pin his trust
to personal appearances.
Radio Voice Bit Sour
The radio voice, some of his adj
vis,rs tell him, has turned a bit sour.
But the back platform is still avail
able. the CHEEKY wave of the hand, the
brief little personal talk about my
friends here in Henderson," and these
will be the basic ingredients of the
1886 campaign, according to present
plans.
While these plans were emerging.
an important difference of opinion
has cropped up in the Republican
high command on the issue of tariffs.
Robert Lincoln O'Brien, Republican
chairman of the Tariff Commission.
announces he will ask the Cleveland
convention to approve in it's platform
the Roosevelt-Hull reciprocal tariff
policy To Republican colleagues this
was rank heresy.
Vandenberg Oisagrees
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, the
only candidate for the nomination
available in Washington, has been a
severe critic of the reciprocal tariff
program. He said, in reply to Mr..
OBrien's statement:
Il am in substantial disagreement
with your point of view"
Mr.. O'Brien pointed out that he was
Massachusetts Republican, appoint
ed by Hoover. and that he was going
tariffs. Rep Allen T. Treadway, also
from Massachusetts, and ranking Re
publican member of the Ways and
Means Committee, shot back that if
he is a member of the Resolutions
Committee at Cleveland he will not
let Mr.. O'Brien appear. Rep. Harold
Knutson of Minnesota barked: Take
your plank to the Democratic national
convention. That's where it belongs.Y
Farmers Don't Like 1t
Even Senator Arthur Capper of
Kansas, who originally voted for the
reciprocal agreement act-who is
close to Governor Landon-said: "Out
in my part of the country, the farm
ers don't like the way the reciprocal
trade agreements are working. They
allow the entry into this country of
more foreign farm products

voice in the wilderness were it not
