WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLES

These disfguring little spots often
result from a slight, temporary dis
turbance, or merely from incorrect
cleansing, or sometimes they are
more persistent due to deeper in
ternal causes.
While properly treating the un-
deriylng cause, you can relieve the
itchy, burning soreness and help
your skin by using an ointment that
will keep the medication in contact
with the pimply spots. Apply it
every night and leave it on all
night. 1t does a world Of good.
For more than 40 years people
have used Resinol Ointment to fill
this need. 1t soothes the irritation
and aids healing. 1t also treats the
oil pores where many surface pim-
pies start. Washing first with
Reslnol Soap quickens the pleasing
results.

The decision to aid the workers

CREDIT
COUP TO JAPANESE
Reported Nation of Mongo-

Against Soviet.
BY the Associated Press,

Diplomatic quarters credited Japan
today with another successful Man.
churian coup, assuming reports are
true that Mongols in Chahar have
proclaimed themselves a new nation
Mongokuo.
The action adds, in effect, q further
slice OF China to the Japanese empire.
The Chinese government has been
trying to forestall just such an oc-
currence. 1t has charged that the
Japanese and Manchukuoans were
bent on annexing Inner Mongolia, OF
which Chahar is part, to Manchukuo
-nominally independent, but actually
under Japanese control.
Only a few days ago japanese
Foreign Minister Sato, in q speech
before the Diet, made q friendly
gesture toward China, and assured the
world Japan had no intention Of ex-
tending her influence south of the
Great Wall Of China.
Great Wall to South.
1t is interesting to note the reported
new nation of Mongokuo is bounded
on the south by the Great Wall.
The Chinese government at Nank-
ing has been maintaining stiff
"hands-off" attitude toward Japan as
regards Northern China, and has
strong military forces along the
Chahar border.
Whether Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek will use force to solve the situa-
ton remains to be seen.
Chahar forms a wedge between
Manchukuo on the east and Outer
Mongolia on the northwest. 1t is one
OF three provinces of Inner Mongolia
remaining after Manchukuo took over
Jehol Province four years ago. Jehol
and its sister province of Chahar
formed about one-third of the former
area Of Inner Mongolia.
Value of Chahar Tract.
The great Chahar tract would be
valuable to Manchukuo-that Is, ia
pan-not only as military buttress
against Soviet controlled Outer Mon
golia, but because the southern portion
has been developed into an agricul-
tural and dairying country

dertaken farming

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March IL
The John L. Lewises will not allow
their home at 2l2 South Fairfax
street to be shown in the tour of old
homes to be sponsored by the Alex
andria Association April II, 1t was
learned from an authoritative source
today.
Thus the Lewises have effectively
tied up two of the most famous homes
In two to6rs-one by the association
and the other by the Rector's Aid
Society Of st. Paul's Church, on May
3-since last week they bought the
r. F. Downham home at 429 North
Washington street, to which they will
not move until after the tour dates.
The house where the Lewises now
live was built by DR.. William Brown,
physician-generalt to the Revolutionary
Army and personal physician to Gen.
George Washington.
Since Mrs. Bernice Flemming Hol-
land, owner Of Holland House. Ais
Wolfe street, has declared she will not
allow her home to be shown on the
same tour with Lewis, and since the
DoWnham home was one Of the prizes
of the tour, neither house, it is de-
clared, can now be shown.
AS soon as Mrs. Holland made her
declaration against the labor leader
and his principles, the tour of the
society, set for April IS, was postponed
to May 3.
Yesterday Mrs. Ward Brown, chair
man for the association tour, an
nounced a list of IS homes to be
shown. Among them was the old DR..
Brown house, now occupied by John
L. Lewis, czar of the Committee on In
dustrial Organization.
Today Mrs. Brown was preparing a
statement to explain why the old home
will not be on the list-at the request,
1t was said, of Mrs. John L. Lewis
herself
