Mrs. G. M. Pow American people a great sum of money. In Congress, the leaders will admit that they never hxid any real intention of accomplishing anything in this session of Conarress.

but if the tariff question is a fair example, the whole thing has hardly been scratched cn the surface. Most of the interests affected, haven't even thought it worth while to send representatives here to argue their case, as the word has been passed along that there will be nothing important done until the next session of Congress. There have appeared thus far. however, several constructive tendencies which wre not the deliberate result of Republican policy but the Influence of such strong men as Borah and Johnson. The movement for disarmament begun by Senator Borah has had psychological effect that cannot be exaggerated.

The retrenchment spirit Is usually hard to instill. Talk of economy doesn't always get action but when so vital a thing as the United States army can be cut down at one fell swoop within such a short time after the Republicans were blaming the Democrats for their failure to prepare for the last war, the outsider can well make up his mind that the demand of the country for lower taxation, and a reduced budget is far more potent here, than political pride or consistency. Men are reversing them-' selves every day in Congress In order to curry favor with their constituents. Senator Borah is an unusually capable citizen, who senses waves of popular sentiment as fast if not faster than anybody Jn the Senate and when he grabbed the disarmament question and boldly took the leadership in it. many of his colleagues had to admit that he was striking a popular chord.

Of course. Congress is so unwieldiy and so clumsy in its" methods that there Is always danger of going to extremes, er.d It took very little persuasion to make the Cnited States Senate reverse itself after having cut the army down to 150.0f nien. But what has Happened in case of army is not a circumstance to what si-ill be proposed when the naval appropriations are up for discussion. It Is mown that President-elect Harding Is norried about the situation. He told r.tmbers of Consress who called on him recently that he believed it would be riser for the United States to maintain ler present navy and make every effort lo reach quickly aa international agreement on reduction of armaments so that when any cessation of buildings Is actually agreed upon it will be safe to stop luthorizing any more money.

The trouble is that a larse sum has already been tpent on ships whose keels were laid Sown in past years. So Congress be the position of junking many vessels that are half built and thus losing all the money previously spent or else re-Jucing the navy without knowing exactly vhat the other powers Intend to do. Some kind of a naval appropriation bill must passed before the fiscal year ends next luTie, but in view of the tangle over dis-irmament, it Is unlikely that anything will be done during the present session if Congress. Furthermore, If there is chance of getting some kind of an understanding about naval disarmament before next July, it will affect the size of the tax budget. In other words, everything raits for Harding and the government really has not been functioning, on vital questions since the people voted for a rhange.

two and a half months ego. During the debate on the reapportionment measure in the National House of Representatives at Washington. Congressmen Greene and Dale of this State each raised their voice against retaining the present size of the House, which would mean that Vermont would lose a Congressman. The Congressional Record of January IS carries Mr. Greene's speerti in full and gives the information that Mr.

Dale's remarks "will appear hereafter." At a meeting of the committee of the Public Health.

These envied skins are developed this way Countless women, every day, use this right method to a healthfully beautiful, complexion. First, they clean the skin. That is essential. And the only possible way is with soap. Skins dog rapidly with oil, perspiration and dirt.
