Ivory is safe and gentle because it is
pure and mild. It is creamy white, too,
as a fine soap should be. If you paid a
dollar a cake you could have no finer
soap.
A really healthy skin is always a clean
skin and usually a beautiful skin. Daily
washing with warm water and Ivory
Soap is as safe a method as you can find
to keep the skin clean.
P. S.—If you arc attending the Health
and Beauty School lectures this week,
you doubtless will hear Mme. Chegnof
express this same thought.

A CERTAIN physician—an outstanding
authority in his profession—has for
years been combatting mistaken ideas
about the care of the complexion. He
has written a book in which he tells
what happens to complexions from the
use of unsuitable soaps or the misuse of
soaps.
Dr. Pusey* says, "Soap's function is to
cleanse, and for no other purpose. A
thoroughly fine soap cleanses without
rubbing, and cleanses safely.”
To perform its cleansing thoroughly,
yet safely and gently, Ivory Soap needs
no rubbing in.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.—The Ex-
aminer says Mrs. Ruth Ormiston,
wife of Kenneth G. Ormiston, for-
mer Angelus temple radio man and
fugitive co-defendant in the Aimee
Semple McPherson conspiracy case,
will bring suit for divorce early in

miston, who is in Sydney, Austra-

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—If pink
collars, ties and shirt fronts with
men’s evening clothes should be-
come popular, the movies might be
held responsible.
White color flares back into the
camera under the strong studio
lights, making the photographing of
dress shirts an extremely careful
bit of work. So Philip Strange in-
troduced a pale pink outfit to the
Paramount studio and the result
was perfect, photographically.
Pale blue table cloths, napkins,
sheets, etc.. have been used as a
Pictures Burned
This collection of exhibits, nega-
tive films of papers which have
figured in the preliminary hearing
of the evangelist, went up in smoke,
when a fire of unknown origin to-
day invaded the photographic room
of the Los Angeles Times. Some
of these pictures destroyed today in
negative form figured in a hot court
battle last week, when the defense
undertook to prove by a chlirography
expert that originals of written pa-
pers credited to Mrs. McPherson by
the prosecution has been retouched.
Compulsory School
Law in Effect
Observance of the compulsory ed-
ucation laws began in Austin Mon-
day, the day set by the Austin and
Travis county boards for observ-
ance of the law. The compulsory
education law requires that every
Child of Texas between the ages of
8 and 14 years of age shall attend
school for at least 100 days. The
date of compliance with the law is
optional with local school authori-
ties. The two local boards selected
Nov. 1 as the beginning of the 100
days of compulsory school attend-
ance.

saying that she is “not interested
in Mrs. McPherson or her troubles.”

Vbeen premier, Benito Mussolini,
whose slogan is “live in danger,”
was undaunted today as search was
made for accomplices of a youth
who tried to kill “11 Duce” and then
was lynched by infuriated fascists
yesterday.
Ah Mussolini was leaving the
stadium after opening the congress
for the advancement of science, a
slender blonde boy about 13 years
old, pressed forward toward his
automobile and fired an automatic
pistol.
INJURED IN ACCIDENT
Recovering from Injuries received
In an automobile collision Sunday
morning. Mrs. J. A. Cook is in the
Brackenridge hospital for treat-
ment of severe bruises and small
cuts.
Mrs. Cook was injured when a
taxi driven by C. K. Barley crashed
into a parked truck in whichshe
was sitting. The accident occurred
near the Intersection of Sixth and
Brazos streets. The injured woman
was taken tc the city hospital for
treatment, where it was said that
her injuries not serious.
NEW OIL WELLS
WICHITA, Nov. 1.—Thirteen new
oil .wells had an initial production
of 1415 barrels in Kansas last week.
There were 10 failures and 26 new
locations for tests.
I promised Mrs. Joe James about
three days ago that I would write
her something unusually brilliant
about the impending arrival of Will
Rugers, the famous advertiser of
Bull Durham tobacco. Will will be
here tomorrow, but I havent written
anything very brilliant about him
yet, and even now the prospeet is
poor. I am afraid Will will have
tr- write his own advertisements for
the occasion.
The Queen has "Don Juan’s Three
Nights,’ ’with Lewis Stqne and
Shirley Mason. It is not the story
of the original Don Juan, but of a
Hungarian pianist, somewhat on
the order of Paderewski. only more
efficient with the ladies. He runs
through a thrilling career of love,
only to weaken at the end and
marry the mother of one of his
sweethearts, in addition to getting
pinked in a sunrise duel.
of Bologna
The Hancock continues the show-
ing of "The Lawful Cheater," which
I had the privilege of witnessing at
the theater last Saturday. The star
is Clara Bow, the flapepr princess
wh came to see us last month and
emerged with large rents in her
raiment. Clara is undoubtedly the
supreme portrayer of the younger
generation now practicing before
the camera, and she has several
excellent character actors playing n •
support, but the story of the film is
somewhat ridiculous—even for a
movie.
She is lovely little Molly, the sis-
ter of four (or maybe three) hard
ened criminals, who spend their |
nights planning new ways to forgo
New Officers Named
Tonight.
I note from th American that
“The American Venus” is playing
at the Queen, and hasten to assure
the public that the American is in
error. The Aphrodite film is now
on exhibition at the Crescent
theater, where it is doubtless at-
tracting anxious multitudes of peo-
pie trained tn the convention that
Venuses wear few and flimsy
clothes. Again I am forced to dis-
illusion the public with the in-
formation that the ladies in this
film are all attired in the height of
propriety.
The winner of the Atlantic Beauty
Pageant of last year. Miss Fay
Lanphier, is featured in the film,
but the dignitaries of Paramount
pictures robbed her of laurels by
making Esther Ralston the winner.
The story is good old hokum about
a girl who saves her father's cold
cream business by winning the first
award in a national contest to settle
the US beauty title. Many scenes
In color are lifted from the Atlantic
ity pageant, showing divers lovely
centestants for the premier prize.
Mob Slays Youth.
As the youth started to fire again
he Was seized by infuriated black
shirts who felled him, stabbed him
14 times, choked and beat him and
then dragged the body through a
milling mass of humanity. The
youth was dead several minutes
after the pistol shot.
The bullet missed only by a frac-
tion of an inch imbedding itself in
the premier's chest. It ripped both

Through an inadvertence, she is
sent to prison. Emerging therefrom
she tells her brothers that she is
suing to pull off a record bank
rubbery, and persuades them all to
get jobs, so that the cops will think
the family has reformed.
The boys all fall victims to the
lure of honesty and really do re-
form. Then Ciara explains that she
has been planning toward that very
end all the while, and also weds a
millionaire.
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this.
_ just get about four ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need),
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will com-
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
• every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop in-
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and

What soap can do to promote beauty
in good health Saturday, as he was
at his desk at the Houston Drug
company Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Graves was vice president of thia
wholesale drug company.
Judge Ireland Graves left Austin,
on the noon train for Houston,
where he will attend funeral serv-
ices, which will be held Monday
night in Settegast funeral parlors
at Houston. The body will then
be moved over the Southern Pacific
to Seguin, the old homestead,
where services will be held Tues-
day morning at 11 o’clock in the
church.
Mr. Graves waa in his 71st year.
He was born in Tennessee. but
came to Texas in his youth and has
spent the greater part of his life
in this state. Judge Graves, the
only chid, is also the only imme-
diate member of the family living,
Mrs. Graves having died during
Judge Graves’ childhood. Mr.
Graves is also survived by a
nephew, Harry Graves of George-
town, and two nieces. Miss Alice
Graves and Mrs. Bigbee of Dallas.
Mussolini Calm.
Mussolini, as when previous at-
tacks were made upon him. Was un.
perturbed. As crowds gathered in
the path of his automobile, almost
overturning it in endeavors to get
cloa enough to ascertain whether
he was injured, he sat upright,
showing not the slightest sign of
nervousness. The icident greatly
excited the 50,000 persons in the
stadium.
Immediately after the shooting.
Signor Turati, secretary-general of
the fascist party, in a proclamation
to ’the black shirts, indicated that
accomplices would be vigilantly
sought and punished. “The first
gesture of justice has been accom-
plished,” said the proclamation.
“Now the accomplices must be
punished. ”______

LONDON, Nov. 1.---Anthracite,
ewing to the coal strike which be-
gan in May, now costs London
housekeepers by th pound as much
as potatoes and nearly he same as

Even soft coal costs more than
cabbage, carrots and several other
winter vegetables which are in de-
rand after the fresh garden sup-

Belgian Prince Made
German Proposal
LAssociated Press Dispatch to Statesman.]
BRUSSELS, Nov. 1.—That Ger-
man was the language used in the
courting of Princess Astrid of Swe-
den by Prince Leopold, heir to the
throne of Belgium, came rather' as
a shock to the Belgians.
Speculation has been busy trying
to ascertain in what tongue. Leo-
pold had first told Astrid: “I love
you.”
The Swedish Princess speaks no
French and • the Prince does not
know Swedish. Astrid speaks Eng-
lish fluently but Leopold's com-
mand of that language is too lim-
ited to carry on an extensive con-
versation.
