WOMAN’S PAGE,’ A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. !‘Tn controller general of the United *7 States rules—" Tt's & familiar phrase in Washington. And one that often means financial disappointment to some one. ‘The disappointed one may be cabinet officer who asked permission to spend Government money for newspapers and ‘was refused. Or it may be some Gov- ernment employe ‘who has been paid too much mongy and must make & But whether he ‘be a cabinet officer \ troller general of the United States rules” there is nothing to do l.7ut He probably car- Ties the most near- - ly absolute authority held by any one in Washington, excepting the President of the United States. In an office on the corner of Fifth and F streets this “czar” presides. J. Raymond McCarl is not at all the kind of man one would expect to find in & position of such authority. Clean shaven, under average height, even-tempered and mild-mannered, he is the sort who knows how to fight and smile at the same time. A thorough student of his job, he is found early at his desk and is late to leave it. He never is too busy to talk things over. MeCarl is the auditor of the Nation. Congress made his authority as absolute as it possibly could.

Nancy was watching a young woman who was having lunch at a nearby table in the tea room. “Surely, I can find material there for a talk and discussion with the Good ‘Taste Club girls.

Upon McCarl's shoulders rests re- sponsibility for seeing that Uncle Sam pays just what he owes and not a cent more, to see that the money is refunded, if any overpayments are made, and to see that appropriations are properly and legally expended. Then, too, the settlement and adjust- ment of claims for or 5t the United States are in his control. In a word, he is the man charged with the settlement of all “accounts whatever” in which the Federal Government is concerned. McCarl made his apeparance in ‘Washington when he was & young man just barely out of his 20s. Senator George Norris of Nebraska brought him to the Capital. He and Norris are from the same town—McCook—and his first job here was as the Senator's secretary (Norris then was a member of the House). From the start young MeCarl took & great interest in doings of Congress. S0 well posted did he become that he was drafted by( tt})]l‘: %cl&ubllilg: to act as secretary of the National Congressional Committee. He was one of the directing heads in the victorious Republican con- gressional fight of 1920. Hardlng remembered him when he became President, and shortly after Congress passed the budget law Yn 1921 he named McCarl as the first controller general. BEDTIME STORIES Stranger Slinks Away. ‘There was great rejoicin, Green Forest. Yes, indeed, the: great rejoieing in the Green Forest. Lightfoot the Deer was free. He Was no longer threatened with a dreadful death. You know, he had been locked by his antlers, head to head, with an- other deer. They had been fightin, They had beén fighting for the affec tions of pretty Mrs. Lightfoot. They had come together head to head and their wonderful branched antlers had somehow become locked together. They could not separate. They would have died a dreadful death of starvation or thirst but for Farmer Brown's Boy. Having found them thus locked to- gether he had gone home for a saw and with this he had cut the antlers ?f the strange Deer. This had set them ree. ‘While there was t rejolcing on the part of all the little people the Green Forest at the sight of Lightfoot once more free, there were two or three who did not share in the rejoicing.

Oily skins usually bring en- larged pores, blackheads and skin eruptions. These impurities are mainly caused by skin acids. Now, science has discovered that acid skin impurties can be neutral- ized with cremed magnesia in the same easy way that milk of mag- nesia purifies the stomach. Cremed magnesia quickly clears the skin— blackheads and skin eruptions dis- appear_as if by magic. And, be- cause it's so mild, it's a blessing for fine, sensitive skins that soap so easily irritates and coarsens,- Be- mildly “astringent, it reduces en- larged pores and soon the skin is restored to the natural fineness and loveliness of youth. o GUARANTEE: It’s impossible for D.
