The region covers North Carolina

The families, Mitchell said, need les;
credit now, loans having averaged
S3O6 in 1886 and $146 in 1887, while

Treasury Cuts Silver Price

Washington, March 29-(AP)-The
House Rules Committee approved to-
day Senate resolution for a thor
ough congressional investigation of
all phases of the TWAS operations.
Chairman OConnor, Democrat, New
York, said only minor, perfecting
amendments were approved, and that
the resolution probably would be
brought before the House tomorrow
for a vote.
He said the committee left in Sen
ate provisions which will permit
proposed Senate-House committee in
quiry of ten members to investigate
also private utilities which have
brought suits against IVA.
One amendment written into the
measure would require the Investigate
ing committee to make a report to
Congress by next January 8.
The Treasury shaved another cent
off its price for foreign silver, mean
time.
Following a similar one-cent reduc-
ton yesterday, which was the first
mango in more than two years. the
price today was cut to 43 cents an
ounce.
The action, which many observers
believed directed at Mexico, because
of its appropriation of American oil
properties. will make it more difficult
for Mexico to sell it's silver abroad.
The Treasury has discontinued it's
former purchases of 100000 ounces
of Mexican silver monthly
Other developments:
Democratic members of a special
House committee decided to lump to-
gether four government reorganiza-
ton measures they previously had ap-
proved and asked the House to sub
stitute them for the reorganization
bill passed by the Senate yesterday.

fear based on Treasury Secretary Nor

.BEAUTY- Gloriying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

NEA Service Staff Writer Slim-waisted, full-skirted, prints and pastels to wear under winter coats from now until early spring call for slender waistlines, beautiful arms and elbows, white, smooth throats. This is the time to get busy with posture exercises which straighten neck and shoulders, bending rou- tines to make your waistline trim and supple and creams that soften and whiteen the skin.
 Always use bath or hand brush on elbows. This removes dry skin and refines the texture of that un- derneath. Put hand lotion or cream on elbows twice day and, if they seem to be yellowish of otherwise discolored, massage them with fresh lemon puice once week.
 Collect all the information you possibly can on exercises that slen- derize the waistline. Try each one several times, then pick out the five which seem most satisfactory. Do these, ten times each once a day. You'll be surprised how quickly eX- cess weight disappears.
 Stockings for spring are lighter and, of course, the sheerer they are, the better. This means smooth legs, slender and white and free from superfiuous hair. Renew your atten- tion to regular use of a good depil- atory, put hand lotion on legs as well as arms and elbows.
 If your legs and ankles aren't as trim and slender as you would like to have them, do a few special ex- ercises every day. Professional mas sage treatments are excellent, too. You can massage them yourself, of course, but this takes more stick to-itveness than most of us have. However, if you decide to break down the fatty tissues in your legs with your own two hands, always apply bit of cream before starting. Then knead deeply using palms as well at flngertipS.

 Your ChiIdrgn
By Olive Roberts Barton

Martha knows that Mary is not so quick as she, Martha, is; therefore she assumes toward her cousin an attitude of patronage or condescen- sion. Sometimes, even contempt.
 This simply will not do. Marie may not have the legacy of brains that Martha was endowed with, but this is no reason the smart cousin should look down on her. Martha s own clevernesS is no doings of her own, but a gift for which she should be forever thankful.
 One gets very weary of the birth right of the brilliant man or woman when it begins to prey on the medi- ocrity of others. The eagle is to be admired, but when it claws and eats the wren, it becomes itself a fair target.
 May Ostracize Dullards
 The smart child not only may consider sisters and brothers slow pokes who should be ready to do his bidding, but often comes to believe that classmates should side-step for him. As life goes on, he will expect his friends to make way, and seek close associates only from the ranks of the very clever. If thrown with a lot of people in office, home or so- cial life, who are his mental in- feriors, he becomes bored and un- reasonably impatient.
 Martha must learn to regard her |, inJ drew out of the hat, and not any, thing that reflects too much glory or credit to herself. Sometimes good health or energy are the heritage, while her slow cousin may be plod- ding againnst unfair odds.
 If such a child is encouraged in his own conceit, he, or she, becomes like the driver who thinks the high way butt for his benefit only, and takes minute of everyone's time to add a mile to his own speed.
 The boy may have contempt Of his brother as he cuts swiftly through school. In such case, the brother may lose all confidence and wind up a total faoilure. It is not lack of brilliance that keeps some men down, but the habit of think ing themselves futile, learned too often right in the home of their
 So. good mother, instead of boost ing Martha's or Edwards stock too high, try to show them very early that the rest of the family are pretty fine, too.
