Nathan saild the agent kept careful check on Kassay's work, so that all de- f2cts could be corrected when the time came for exposure. When sufficient evidence had been cbtained to warrant an arrest, local authorities were notified. While the acting director would not discuss for publication the San Diego phase, he admitted that “further de- velopments” were expected in the case momentarily. He sald no arrest other than that of | Kassay was planned, as no other per- |son had been found to be involved. He disccunted a report that the sabotage »lot was “Nation-wide.” Names of the sgents who worked on the case at Akron were withheld, under the policy of secrecy maintained by the director of the bureau, J. Edgar Hoover. | The latter was out of town tcday. Naval officials emphasized the fact that no harm has been done the giant :‘irsh:p, which is in course of comple- ion. Thorough Inspection Made.

F Street aqt 9tk - To correct over 20,000 beauty experts urge you to use this soap of olive and palm oils HERE was a time when women believed that they should not use soap on the face. i - Then came Palmolive, with its safe, soothing olive-and-palm-oil blend. Women by the millions learned the way to new complexion beauty. They discovered that this soap was safe. That it brought out natural loveliness. Now beauty specialists—more than 20,000 of them—say: Use soap. But be sure it is Palmolive. Ordinary soaps may do great harm Let no one convince you that just ordinary soaps “claiming to be for the complexion” will bring Palmolive results. That is' wrong. They won’t. Palmolive complexions come only from Palmolive. Remember Palmolive is different from most soaps in that it contains no animal fats of any kind. That is the reason why many beauty specialists, interested in the care of complexions, are so particular to urge Palmolive. Nothing in Palmolive can roughen or irritate the skin. Palmolive is pure. It is made exclusively of vegetable oils. It is made of the oils of olive and palm used successfully for generations as beautifiers. * Its green is the green that nature put into the vegetable oils of which Palmolive is made, no artificial coloring whatsoever. Its perfume is mild. There is no need for heavy odors to cover up the fresh olive and palm fragrance. Beauty experts urge Palmolive All these facts—plainly stated—are the reasons given by more than 20,000 leading beauty experts all _over the world for recommending Palmolive Soap above any other. Do not let its simplicity and low price keep you from retaining a youthful, naturally lovely skin. 1115 “F” STREET N.W. Wilson Store — 222 W. Lexington St. a grave mistake in skin care -
