NATIONAL GUARD IN GOOD SHAPE Rapid Progress in Rebuild ing the Nation's Second Line of Defense. Washington. Dec. 14. Rapid prog ress in. the rebuilding of the nation s second line of defense the National Guard was made during the last fis cal year, says the annual report today of the chief of the Militia Bureau, un der signature of. Brigadier General Jesse Mcl. Carter, retired. On last June 30, the report says, the guard numbered 113,630 with 331 organiza tions allotted, but not yet organized. On he bas?s of expansion during last year. General Carter estimated that Defore the end of the current fis nni year the suard would number 160, 000 men, or some 10,000 more than in the regular army. Pointing out that available funds for this year provide for only 122,000 men, the report says that unless increased appropriations are allowed "there will be trouble ahead" for the Militia Bureau. As existing law prescribes the pay of the guardsmen, General Carter says there appears to be no way to avoid creation of a deficiency except by re fusing to recognize additional units duly organized under provisions of the law. "Such action," he adds, "will surely cause bitter feelings and charges of bad faith; it. will crush the present rising tide in the organization of our second line of defense." REPORTS OF COMMANDERS. Appended to . the report are state ments from army corps area officers as to progress in organizing guard units n the various corps. Colonel L. C. Scherer, at Boston, says the "pros pects are bright for additional units to be presented rapidly" in the First Corps Area, conspiring the New Eng land States. Colonel Raymond Sheldon at Gover nor's Island, N. Y., says "that there la every reason to believe that the al lotment of 32.604 officers and enlisted men for the Second Corps Area (Dela ware, New Jersey and New York) will be reached by the end of the new fis cal year." Lieut. Col. G. W. Stuart, at Fort Howard, Md., says "it is anticipated that n the next year the remaining units of the 28th division will be organ ized in Pennsylvania and the author ized units of the 29tn division will be organized in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia." SOUTHERN AREA. In the Fourth Cfrns Area, compris ing Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louis iana. Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkan sas, excellent progress was made in organization work in the last fiscal year, according to Col. James H. Frier, at Fort McPherson headqoarters. Work in the Fifth Corps Area, Ohio, Indiana. Kentucky and West Virginia, resulted in the addition of 135 new units 10 the organizations of the States, West Virginia alone failing to have a guard unit at the end of the fisial ,ear, spys Lieutenant Colonel James . K. Parsons, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. Colonel Cromwell Staiev. at Fort Sheridan, 111 , sa.ys the National Guard in the Sixth Corps. Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, is developing "satisfac tory in every respect." The progress of guard development in the Seventh Corps Area, including part of Arkansas and all of Iowai Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras ka and North Dakota, is said by Lieut. Col. Fred V. S. Chamberlain at Fort Crook, Neb., to have been "far greater than cculd have been anticipated." Col. F. O. Johnson, of the Eighth Corps headquarters at Fort' Sam Hous ton, reports favorable progress in guard development in Arizona, Col orado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. In the Ninth Corps Area, Col. Rob ert H. Noble, reports from the Pre sidio, Cal., that "it is confidently expected that all units allotted by the Militia Bureau for the fiscal 3'ear end ing June. 30, 1922, will be promptly organized." His report covered organ ization work in California, Idaho, Mon tana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washing ton and Wyoming. KEEPING THE PROFILE YOUNG. The other day I was listening to a woman speaker. She had what is known as a commanding platform presence. That is, when she stood "be fore an assejnblage of people, she was able to make them like her and to ba influenced to her opinion because of her attractive personality. She seemed to be a woman of about 35, and she was remarkably pretty. This wag my impression as I entered the room late, and saw her in front of me. I had to walk around the side of the hall to find a seat, so that when I looked at her again, it was no longer her full face, but her profile that I saw. Suddenly she appeared to be 45 or even 60 all because there were two baggy pouches of flesh under her chin. A double (or triple) chin will fjpoil even the prettiest face. The' sad part ia that it is absolutely unnecessary. No woman need . spoil her appearance with a double chin, if she begins treating herself in time. Of course if the body is too fat, some of this extra flesh is certain to form under the chin as well as over the abdomen and the back of the shoulders. A general reduction will help to reduce thi.i double chin and local treatments with ice and careful massage will draw uj the loose skin and bring back thi smooth and youthful line. ; I would recommend a ten minute rut with a piece of ice every day, to be preceded by a rather vigorous massago with the hands. The ' exercise of stretching the chin upwards as far aa possible will also be of immense bene fit, and if you cannot get ice, use any well-recommended astringent. Unhappy Yours is, indeed, a very difficult problem and unfortunately it is a problem many woman face. You naturally want friends and a little o cial life; your husband refuses to let you have any fiiends. I suppose it is an unconscious jealousy on his part but that doesn't make it : a bit easier for you. - You write that his insults to your friends and his constant quarreling when you see anyone makes you so unhappy you are even tempted to leave him You have, fortunately, the means of supporting yourself. Could you, by quiet, plain talks with your husband, make him see that yours Is a partner- T Never let a double chin get the test of you. shpl as well as a marriage since you are contributing your share and that his attitude is spoiling your life? Quar reling won't help, it will only make things worse. If your problem ia solved, it will be the result of a. well talked over, business-like agreement between you, J-L. All inquires addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the ""Beauty Chats" depart ment will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires consider able time, however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired, a Btamped and self -addressed envelope must be enclos ed with the question. The Editor.

Poplin and John Oliver Ranson, who were killed in action, were posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. By PARKER ANDERSON. Staff Correspondent of The News. Washington Dec. 14. Congressman William Cicero Hammer of Asheboro is being urged for chairman of the Con gressional Committee to succeed the late Hal D. Flood of Virginia. The only thing that may prevent Hammer being elected to this important post is the fact that he has been in Congress but a short time and some of the older members may want the place upon the grounds of seniority. ; Hammer has" attracted considerable attention since he came to Congress. He has been active not only in matters of legislation but has attracted the at tention of the Democratic leaders as a wise and aggressive politician. He may not get this place but it is certain the party has no man who would fill the position more ably than the seventh dis trict congressman, nor any one who would give the place more time and energy. The Congressional committee has not been a power for the last two years. Under the chairmanship of Congress man Flood there was not much activity around headquarters. The Virginia con gressman left most of the work to oth ers and therefore little assistance was rendered the Democratic party during the campaign last Fall. But is is planned now to put new life into the committee and make a real fight for control of the House next Fall. Hammer, his Democratic friends believe, can come nearer filling this long felt want than any other man available. He is recognized as one of the coming leaders by both Republicans and Dem ocrats. Victor II. Boyden of. Raleigh, who during the world war made an enviable record in the law division of the War Department, has been appointed an at torney for the War Finance Corpora tion. The appointment- was made upon the recommendation of Angus W. Mc Lean, one of the Director's of the Cor poration. . , Graham Andrews of Raleigh and' Setb High of Scotland Neck, have been added to the membership of the local War Finance Corporation Committee in Ral eigh. Both men are considered "live wires" and the Managing Director here expects that more "pep" will . be now injected into the working of the local committee. It is hoped also that the banks will take advantage of the op portunity offered by the Federal Gov ernment to borrow money for agricul tural and export purposes. Pull Out A Hair! Examine It.

A fine of 10. 086 pesos was paid under protest by members of the crew of the American fishing schooner Mabel, which retm-n-ed to her home port, San Pedro, Calif., yesterday after having been held by Mexican authorities on a charge of illegal fishing, the State Department was advised today. The Department stated that the whole matter of the seizure of the Mabel was a question of facts as to where the seizure had taken place. Advices to the Deartment from the owner of the boat and the American consul at Ensenada, Mexico, to which port the boat was brought after being seized, stated that the vessel had been captured outside the territorial waters of Mexico. A foreign office statement by the Mexican Government, however, declared the seizure had taken place within the three-mile limit. The State Department, as a consequence, is en deavoring to determine the exact point of seizure before making any further representations to the Obregon Government. , w , n, i ,,,, ,, . , ,j " - r III tern mm B ' SIT VirJ t 6- Ml I MUM W M m "Hk.
