Delegates DECISION
AWAITED BY OHlOANS
Committee to Decide Whether to
Junk "Favorite Son" Plan or
Stick by Guns.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 10
Ohio Republicans awaited a decision
of their State Central Committee yes
terday on whether the "favorite son"
delegate plan will be scrapped.
Senator William E. Borah's en-
trance into the Ohio campaign, by
obtaining petitions to enter full
slate of delegates to the national con-
vention in the May primary, tossed a
monkey wrench" into the announced
plan of the committee.
At its December meeting the State
group advocated sending an unin-
structed or "favorite son" delegation
to the Cleveland convention in June,
and now it's up to the committee to
toss that plan overheard or stick by
its guns.
The committee. left a loophole by
saying it would stick to the ''favorite
son" plan so long as no outstanding
candidate" had announced.
With Borah's entrance, observers
believed the committee would aban-
don the uninstructed delegation pro-
posal. The committee, which State
Chairman Ed D. Schorr said would
meet sometime this week." remained
silent on its plans.
Friends Of Col. Frank Knox of Chi
cago awaited his expected announce
ment of q bid for the So Buckeye
delegates. Should Knox also enter
The Ohio primary, the general belief
was that the State Central Commit
tee would vote Endorsement of some
candidate.

So far. radios involvment in the
political battle Of 1896 has been al
most as much letter writing as it has
been broadcasting. Republicans,
through their national chairman,
Henry P. Fletcher, wrote that they
didn't think they were being given
enough consideration. The networks
said they were.
Then the now famous political
drama, Liberty at the Crossroads, "
came along. The Republicans again.
through MFR. Fletcher believed this
was an ideal way to start the prelim-
mary campaign. Again the networks
disagreed. That didn't keep the
drama off the air, however. Station
WGN in Chicago saw to that.
Actual broadcasting didn't really get
into the controversial scrap, however,
until AL Smiths Liberty League speech.
While some observers, particularly Re-
publicans: looked upon the Presidents
message to Congress broadcast as war
ranting replies on the air, they haven't
materialiZed as quickly as did the
answers to Smith. Up to date, there
have been two, one from Smiths DEM
ocratic side and the other from So
cialist leader.
THE forum on "Broadcasting and
the Public" is being conducted as
separate network feature rather than
as part of Boake Carter's Columbia
period, as planned.
The change in the program, which
started Friday night, was made be-
cause Of the networks policy not to
sell time for discussing public issues.
EXPERIMENTAL operation Of new
- intercity police radio station,
W9XJz. has been started by the ST.
Louis department. The station is a
part of a network with Detroit, In
dianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis
and Davenport, for the transmission
of police information.

MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
PERFORM IN THRILLER
owen Davis "Ninth Guest" II
Done With Enthusiasm and
Much Approval.

A GOODLY number Of drama fol-
lowers and mystery play fans
Saturday night braved the snowdrifts
sof Chevy Chase and Bethesda, Nd,
to make their ways to Leland Junior
High School, and there spent two
happy hours being vicariously thrilled
as the Montgomery Players sped
through Owen Davis THE Ninth
Guest"
The play, which has been made
into q motion picture, is packed with
the excitement OF much firing Of pis-
tols, trick electrical gadgets. a rather
sinister radio, several murders and
other such pleasures. 1t is fast mov-
ing and the identity Of the murderer
is not known until he finally Is
brought to confess his nasty deeds.
At least, he Is not known to the people
on stage. Maybe the avid followers
of such things can tell who Is re-
sponsible for the bloodshed, but THE
Ninth Guest" is lot of fun, anyway.
The Montgomery Players put q lot
of enthusiasm into their playing OF
the Owen Davis thriller. Their short
comings were the shortcomings of q
first-night performance-the occa-
sional missing of cues ad some fum-
bling for the. proper word-all OF
which no doubt would have been
smoothed out on the second night, II
the Montgomery group had performed
the play q second time. The ef-
fectiveness of the players presentation
of the "whodunit" has attested. how
ever, by the ovation which arose at
the final curtain. The people liked
the play and liked it very much.
Edmund E. Soper, in one of the
major roles. had his best moments
toward the end of the play: Fred
erick L. Fryer, In another of the
leads, was enthusiastic; Martha Rob-
erts Pogge made very nice leading
lady, and Jane Plummer Rice and
Harrison Hathaway turned in the
smooth performances for which they
are known by followers of the Mont
gomery County acting group. Fred
erick Kerby, Helen Hunter Kerby,
Frank S. Fowler and Harold S. Nor
ton also contributed to the plays sue
cess. The Ninth Guest" was di-
rected by Robert Warfleld.

Excuse
For Acne
Blenishes
Bad Skin Avoidable
If Hygienic Rules
Are Needed.
Photo by p. G. Korth.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A S I said yesterday the young col
lege girl Of today is taller, health
ier and lovelier than her forebears.
Regular physical examinations in the
elementary schools. cooperation be-
tween parents and teachers, sane liv-
ing, outdoor exercise, fresh air, sun
shine and q better knowledge Of the
relationship between diet and beauty
all account for this.
And to my mind all these hygienic
rules and regulations account in large
measure for the fact that there seems
to be less and less serious skin trouble
among girls of high school and col
lege entry age.
I don't have actual statistics, but
letters on the subject during the last
few years seem to have diminished.
And as I make the rounds lecturing
in schools see clearer skins, brighter
eyes, a more buoyant aliveness.
Yet there are still some old-fash-
ioned fogies who feel that one must
have acne in adolescence and measles
In childhood. They contend that it's
the natural course Of events and the
best thing to do is to let nature take
Its course.
That's why every once in so often
have a letter saying the folks tell
me to Just wait and I'll outgrow it.,
but isn't there something to heal these
blemishes?"
I don't think it's wise to wait plac-
idly. Nature may take her course
but she may leave pits and scars and
marks on the way. Why wait? Why
not help to hurry the healing
process?
First-Truly and honestly are you
following the rules for hygienic living?
Second-Do you avoid lingering your
face? Keep your hands scrupulously
clean? And keep hands of the blem-
ishes? 1t is amazing how much dam
age a germ-laden hand can do in
spreading infection, particlarly when
there is any opening or abrasion in
the skin.
Third-If the blemishes are slight,
use a healing cream. There are many
excellent ones on the market or you
may purchase ready-prepared cream
or lotion at any reputable drug store.
| II the condition Is severe one consult
your physician or a skin specialist.
Fourth-Don't count on makeup to
conceal the blemishes. Get at the
root of the trouble and remove the
cause instead of covering up. In fact,
use as little makeup as possible
There are a few fine lotions on the
| market that have healing properties
and at the same time act as light
film temporarily concealing the blem-
ishes. They're boon to the blem-
| ished skin.

easy to wear that it will be the

The pattern is drafted on princess
lines, seams fore and aft that give a
tiny waist, broad shoulder look; a
modish surplice sbodice that doesn't
reveal how much or how little you
wear underneath, and an unusual but
ton trim. The sleeves are offered in
both lengths-long and short. Solid
colors dark and becoming are
safe choice for fuller figures and
concessions to the current enthusiasm
for lighter trimmings are made in
touches of contrast at the collar and
sleeve bands when the shorter length
Is used. This model makes up beauti-
fully in satin, crepe, velveteen, broad
cloth or silk. For house dress ver-
sion try gingham, percale or cotton.

Receptions
AndWedding
Procedure
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST-My dear friend,
Mrs John Smith Jones. has Of
fered her club. the exclusive Topnotch
Club, to me for my daughters we'd
ding reception. 1 would like very
much to take advantage Of her kind
offer if you think giving our reception
there will not give others the inn
preston that We are trying to be
something We are not. Also how
would l have our invitations engraved?
Answer don't see how any one
could possibly criticize you for ac-
cepting your friends invitation to
use her club membership. 1t is done
all the time in the best-known clubs
in the country. The form of the
invitation is, of course, the same as
usual, and then down in the lower
righthand corner, in small letters,
is engraved Through the courtesy
of Mrs. John Smith Jones" This
is put in the right corner because the
left is reserved for the r. S. VI.
DEAR MRS POST; Is it true that
people have a right to resent the
presents sent by others who want
to show them some extra apprecia-
ton? For example, a friend Of mine
was very kind in taking care of my
bird and chickens. while 1 was away
for two weeks To DO this meant that
she had to come several blocks to the
house twice each day. I was grateful
and considered the present l sent
when I got back very little TO show
my appreciation. She telephoned
next day and thanked me but said
she could not accept my gift and
would return it to the store and have
it credited to my account. I tried to
make her believe that I had sent it
in appreciation and not in payment,
but I seem to have offended her.
Answer.-I am afraid that you can
do nothing against the mental lack
made evident by this behavior. Usu-
ally one finds this suspicious reaction
toward well-intentioned motive
among illiterate people, never among
intelligent ones. If this does not an
sver the reason, then I can only put
It down to some effect Of illness or
other cause for her momentary aber.

able match, and the whole world was
to come to know about it. That epoch
making event took place just 100 years
ago this week, on october "a, 1886.
The handmade match Of Alonzo D.
Phillips combined sulphur. phos-
phorus, chalk and glue to produce a
new method of creating fire by chem
tstry instead Of physical exertion. I'M
provementS in the manufacture have
continued to be made ever since.
Today the large match companies
own great tracts of white pine and
aspen timber. They have perfected
and installed row after row Of huge
automatic machines. One Of these
machines will cut $4,000 splints per
minute, dip, dry and dip them again
into material compounded by experts
from 100 ingredients, and finally
pack them into boxes or make them
into books.
RESIDES the miracles OF modern
machinery, serious factory haz-
ards have been overcome. The story
of the injury and death Of workers
from poisonous phosphorus fumes is
well remembered. Industrial history
still recounts the magnificent example
of the match company that surren-
dered its patent and secret processes
to the public in an outstanding hu-
manitarian movement to save not only
Its own workers, but the employees of
Its competitors, as well. So the
American public quite nonchalantly
strikes and tosses away each day at
least billion matches.

could shed in that dim and distant
past, when no other method of get
ting light was known.
Of course, the first creation Of fire
for lighting, cooking or warmth is
not recorded; no one got patent
for that. 1t isn't even guessed at, be-
rause evidences of fire are always
found where relics of human beings
are discovered. 1t would be interest
ing to know whether the cave-dwell-
ing housewife waited putting the ket-
tie on, as 1t were, until the lighting
struck or a volcano erupted-whether
fire came first from heaven above or
the earth beneath.
From the traditions OF Indians and
other savage tribes come stories to
the effect that man learned to create
fire by watching the sparks thrown
by the flying hoofs Of wild animals,
racing across the stony ground. Other
tales are of the ignition of dry
branches. rubbing together in steady

find these to be especially tasty.
Herring "mopS" are rather new,
having made their appearance some
time last Spring, but they have al
ready proven to be one of the "best
sellers" in the picked fish line. They
are made with strips of herring filet
which have been cured in brine and
then picked and rolled into mop
shapes. They are just a little milder
than the regular picked herring and
the meat seems to be bit more
buttery.

~ YE ARE indebted primarily,
IA no doubt, to thrifty Euro
Wv peans for the large selection
Of smoked, salted and
pickled fish that we now enjoy, for it
was with them that cured fish first
became popular as standard food
item. Each country, it seems, de-
seloped its own peculiar method Of
preparing its native fish, and today
as a matter of course, we link picked
herring to the German cuisine, f1let Of
snchovies to the French, herring salad
10 the Dutch, caviar to the Russian,
hlet of haddie to the English, and

as domestically prepared varieties.

I UNUSUAL in the way OF appetizer
~ morsels are the Swedish anchovies.
They have a distinctly different taste
to those with which we are more IA
miliar, being not quite as salty as the
French anchovy. While most people
prefer a salty appetizer, there are some
who like the milder tidbit to whet the
appetite. The filets come packed in
large and small tins and are no more
expensive than the French type.
Tiny picked sardines are different,
too, and if you are planning a Dutch
supper you could find nothing more
tempting and suitable to serve for the
appetizer course. Roll them and i'm

pickle. The sardines come In bulk

IN BREAKFAST fish you have a
wide choice. First there are those
Scotch-style kippers that fairly melt
in your mouth when broiled and
served with a lemon butter sauce.

delicious prepared this way. And a
very new addition to local fish marts

and precooked, ready to serve. They
are good hot or cold and taste very

fish. They have already made place
