the Senator had to go, however
reluctantly.

The luncheon was given in the
office of Col. Edwin A. Halsey, Sec
retary of the Senate, a fellow Vir-

administrator.
An early arrival was Vice Presi-
dent Garner. A late arrival was the
man whom Senator Glass left a
sickbed to nominate for President
at the Democratic National Conven-
ton last summer-James A. Farley
There was warm greeting between
the guest Of honor and the former
Postmaster General.
What went on at the luncheon
was strictly private, but the gen.
eral trend of the remarks was
obvious when photographers and re-
porters swept in at the close, for
the venerable Virginian's eyes
were damp.

presence, the Carter Glass chair of
government was endowed.
Those present at yesterdays
luncheon included Senators Barkley
of Kentucky, Harrison of Missis-
sippi, Byrnes of South Carolina,

Harrison Is Selected
President Pro Tenn
In Party Conference
Hill Democratic Whip;
BorkIey Is Reelected
Majority Leader

Senators Barkley of Kentucky and
Harrison of Mississippi. who battled
over the Democratic leadership in
1887, both were selected for high
Senate positions yesterday.
Senator Barkley unanimously was
reelected majority leader by a
party conference, which also desig-
mated Senator Harrison for Presi-
dent pro tempore.
With the indicated backing of
President Roosevelt, Senator Bark
ley won the majority leadership
over Senator Harrison by a one
vote margin after the death of Sen
ator Joseph T. Robinson, former
Democratic leader, in the summer of
1887
Senator Harrison's new position Is
largely an honorary one. But he will
preside over Senate sessions when
Vice President ELECT Henry A. Wal
lace is absent, he will be entitled to a
lower number on his automobile Ii
cense and he will have a preferred
position at state dinners.
The Democratic meeting also Sc
lected Senator Hill, Democrat, of
Alabama as whip, succeeding Sen
ator Minton, Democrat, of Indiana
who was defeated for reelection
Senator Hill was given an old horse
whip as symbol of off1ce"-a whip
originally held by the late Senator
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
and handed down since then to each
succeeding whip.
On the Republican side, party
meeting reelected Senator Nc

- AISY- FRESHNESS is only an out
ward sign OF cleanliness. I'm
- derneath sweet, inviting
facade, cleanliness is your fortress Of
personal hygiene. But very vulner-
able spot is frequently found in the
fact that we do not protect our beauty
gadgets with the care they demand.
Cosmetics and other toiletries come
to us germ-free from the manufactur-
ers But they lose their cleanliness un-
less we constantly apply simple hy-
gienic measures to them.
In this respect many girls err
thoughtlessly. Even fastidlous girls
will dab soiled puffs to their faces or
drag not-too-clean combs through
their Curs For example, cite the girl
students of micro-biology at New York
University, whose eunsuspeCtlngo otfense
along these lines is now matter OF
scientific record. These students re-
Gently submitted their own beauty
gadgets for tests of cleanliness. The
results were shocking to them, and to
Vincent Saurino, the bacteriologist in
charge of the experiment. Such an ex-
pertinent is an object lesson in cleanll-
ness, Mr.. Saurino says. for even stu
dents have little concept of what clean
illness really means until they study
the bacteria on personal objects.
The beauty aids which were tested
in this experiment were all comman-
deered from dressing tables and pock-
ct books. There were combs, lipsticks.
powder, puffs, rouge puffs. mascara
brushes, and the powder and paste
into which the puffs and brushes were
dipped. Unused handkerchlefs and un-
used lipstick tissues. carried loosely
in purses, were also examined.
When the well-used lipsticks, soiled
powder and rouge puffs, and suppos-
edly clean combs were dipped into
individual containers of sterile water,
they left bacteria behind them. This
bacteria-wash, as the scientists call it,
was siphoned into tubes for the testing.
"CIeon" Handkerchief, Tested
10 TEST the cosmetics themselves,
smears were taken OF the powder in its
boxes and the rouge in its jars, of
moist mascara paste, and of wet mas
cara brushes still fresh from contact
with starched-up lashes. These Smears
were transferred directly to sterile
culture" plates where the bacteria
in the smears could develop and be
counted. Similarly tested were the
samples obtained from the unused lip
stick tissues and from clean handker-
chiefs, both recruited from the clut-
tered depths of pocketbooks.
1t is startling to learn that the
count from one sample of one lipstiCk
was $4,000 bacteria of IL different
types. A comb, which showed few Wis
ible signs of soil, was found to carry
in its tiny teeth 265, 900 bacteria of IL
types. One type was mold. 1t is a
fungus that thrives on combs when
they are not kept clean.
The same fungi are fond of soiled
powder puffs, too, as our experiment
shows, and one of the ten types of
bacteria detected on one Duff was
mold. Mold on a powder puff is not
unlike mold that you see on an aging
loaf of bread. The reason this fungus
thrives on powder and rouge puffs
is because the residue of body acids
and oils which puffs drag off the skin
are favorable to the growth of this
particular organism.
Startling examples of germ growth

Tiqhi Covers Help

! HAT IS why cosmetics must be kept
covered and, when in use, must be
protected from soiied appliances. The
best protection for powder and rouge
which, as you can see from this expert
ment, are easily contaminated, are
tight covers and clean puffs. 1t is best
of all, if possible, to use fresh fluff
of cotton for each application.
Ii brushes and combs are to be kept
safe, they should be washed at least
once day. The easiest way to dis
solve stubborn residue that settles in
brushes and combs is to pour few
drops of household ammonia into the
water. Once or twice week use few
drops of disinfec tant in the water
when you wash them and between
usings keep them in drawers or con-
tainers. Wash both your. eyelash-
grooming brush and your mascara
brush before you return them to their
little trough in your mascara box.
Keeping these brushes as clean as you
know how will help to keep your mas
cara free of any contamination. This
safeguard is particularly important,
because your eyes are portal of germ
entry into your body.
So are lips. That is why lipsticks
should not be banded around, loaned.
borrowed or snapped. How would you
like to transfer to your mouth the
$4,000 bacteria that may be present
on another girls lipstick? Blotting
your lips after you use lipstick is
also an important measure of personal
hygiene, for moist, greasy ip-surfaCe
is an invitation to bacteria that swarm
in the air.
AS for the hourishing bacterial col
onies found on the unused lipstlCk
blotting pads and the laundry-fresh
handkerchiefs, they got there because
these objects had been left to hobnob
freely with the keys and coins and the
other well-fingered whatnots that
clutter up purses. To keep these clean
objects safe, it is wise to carry them
i'll little cosmetic purses that zip open
and closed.
Finally, none of these safety mea-
sures has any point, of course, unless
the hands - and particularly the
fingers where colored polish is apt to
make dirt invisible - are kept as
aseptically clean as the frequent use
of soap, water and scrub brushes will
make them.

were also found on mascara paste, on
mascara brushes, and on loose pow
der and compact rouge. But what was
most astonishing to the students was
the presence of so many bacterial col
onies on what they regarded as i'm
maculately clean objects - the neat
little lipstlck pads and the fresh linen
handkerchlefs that had been lying
in the bottom of their purses, The
count on one pad of lipstlck blotters
was 235 colonies of bacteria of ten
types. On a clean handkerchief that
anyone would have regarded as safe
were 227 colonies of bacteria of ten
types.
These disclosures, though intended
to open your eyes, are not intended to
frighten you. They should not alarm
you. because not all bacteria are un-
friendly. In fact. only few shady
looking characters were detected in
the hosts above. But, as MIR. Saurino
points out, the more bacteria there
are, the greater is the risk of harboring
enemies.

British Seeking Method
To Take Air Offensive

In the last Is months, however,
the British have built constantly
improved types of planes. They
have not had as much old stock on
hand as the Germans.
A larger proportion of British
planes today is of the latest type,
compared with the total strength
of the royal air force, than is
probably true of German air power.
German still is superior in total
planes but the curve oof superior
unquestionably Shows decline in
the most modern types of air craft
AS the war continues, the COM
parison of total planes between
Germany and Britain will become
more and more secondary to the
proportion of latest models having
greater speed and heavier arma-
ment. In these categories it is
probable that Great Britain with
American contributions gradually
is moving toward level with Ger
many.

RAF Carries Out
Daylight Raids on
Invasion Bases

FOLKESTONE, Eng, Jan. 10
CUP)-In what was regarded as
possibly the biggest daylight all
attack on German invasion bases
in France since the start of the
war, royal air force bombers today
raided German positions all along
the French channel coast from
Calais to Boulogne.
Spectators here and at various
points on the southeast coast of
England saw RAF planes make dive
bombing attacks on targets. More
than 60 planes, including bombers
and fighters, participated.
The British planes and the burst
ing of anti-aircraft shells were WIS.,
ible against cloudless sky but a
ground haze. hid the targets from
the view of watchers on this side
of the channel.
After making dive attacks the
British planes flew high over their
targets, apparently in an effort
to observe the results of the bomb
ing. Then they returned across
the channel in formation.
So far as observers could see
from the cliffs of Folkestone the
British planes were not attacked
by German fighters, possibly be-
cause of the presence oof Spitfire
and Hurricanes in the escort for the
British bombers. The German anti
aircraft barrage was very intense.
