You know how con spicuous complexion defects appear un der the bright light of the drawing or ball room. Also how very evident are some makeups when similarly illumiu atel. I have myself discarded cosmet ics entirely, using a process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the skin. At night I smear on a thin coat of ordinary mer colized wax, washing it off next morn ing. This gradually absorbs the dovital ized particles of surface skin; just as gradually the more youthful skin be neath comes forth providing a com plexion as clear, smooth .and delicately tinted as a young girl's. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's and try this remarkable treatment. Bemember. too, that wrinkles, even the finer lines, are not easily conceal ed; in a brilliantly lighted room.

He reviewed the entire situation from the date of the break in diplomatic relations with Germany- Crozier declared that in spite of- all delays encountered "we will be caught up with all shortage of ordnance by next summer." Aid from France and England in furnishing 75 millimeter guns and howitzers, has .proved of inestimably value in keeping Pershing's men sup plied with artillery, he said. The most pronounced shortage has been artillery and rifles for training camps in this country. Flans Changed Quickly "Before we got into the war, we WATCH FOR otra ANNIVERSARY WHO'S? were working on a program involving raising and equipping an army of 1, 000,000 men in five years." ho said. "When we got into the war, we com pressed that program and asked mon ey to make it effective in one year. - "Our first delay was encountered in the necessity for showing all estimates for funds to the war college, tne gener al staff and the' secretary of war. Each of these had to receive full explanation of the purposes money was required for. "After that, wo had to explain to congress. But we did not wait for con gress to act. We started to get manu facturing establishments going. It was then we met the obstacle of re fusal of manufacturers to spend money without assurance of payment. ' 'Our purchasing system caused more delay- We had to submit prices we proposed to- pay to the munitions board, headed by Frank A- Scott. Office Force Was Short "Lack of personnel also hampi(6d the ordnance department. "Before the war, I had 85 men in my department. Now I have more than 2100." "Where did you get the other from, the army or civil lifef " asked Senator Weeks. "From civil life," said Crozier. "The army didn't have the kind of men I needed. They are engineers, chemists, lawyers and highly trained business men." Profit Bases of Contracts Most of the artillery and rifle con tracts have been made on the basis of cost llus certain percentages of profit because manufacturers Tefused to take contracts at a fixed price. This was due to fluctuations in la bor and material costs, Crozier state!. "All our private rifle contracts were made at a cost plus ten per cent." Profited by Jvustakes Senator Chamberlain inquired wheth er this country Tiad profited by mis takes the allies made with regard to artillery. ' ' We profited by their mistaken idea that shrapnel was more important than high explosives an idea they have since revised," said Crozier. "We were informed on this early enough in the war so that we made our contracts for more high explosive shells than shrapnel."

General Maurice Admits German Cambria Success Du2 to British Blander London. Dec. 12. "Our position at Cainbrai as to comfort and safety dur inz the coming winter is enormously in our favor," declared General F. H. Maurice, director of operations, this afternoon. "This is true," he adflert "despite the fact that the enemy neu tralized our success." The British general frankly described the Germans' suiieess at Cambrai asl jbeing due to "lack of co-ordination." i "It is far too early to give the rea- J 'sons for the enemy break through," t' he added.

Representative Kitchin, chairman of the house ways and means committee, today definitely refused to endorse Mc Adoo's program of financing 1918 und 1919 by bends atone. Kitchin declared there must be tax legislation. Senator Himmons, senato finance committee chairman, said: ''It is too early to say whether wo can carry through this year and next on bonds."
