A POWERS STUDYING PROPOSED UNION Major Aspects of Austro-Ger- man Pact to Be Tested. Writer Hits Plan. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. (Copyrisht, 1931, by the Chicago Dally News elgn Service. PARIS, April 3.—A tentative I;l"" ment has been reached between Paris, London, Berlin and Vienna for testin| the political, juridical and financia aspects of the proposed Austro-German gustoms union before it becomes & Teality, it was announced today in circles close to l’ere:fn Minister Briand. ‘The plan is as follows: First, the European Union Com- mittee, which meets May 15 at Geneva with at least 25 foreign ministers at- tending, will be asked its opinion whether the Austro-German project is compatible with the European union project. Obviously, discussion on this point opens & wide field. Alternative Plans Expected. At the same time, it is sald, France or one of its allies, for example, Czechoslovakia, will bring forward some larger alternative proposals 1o the Austro-German project, for ex: ample, a Danubian economic federa. tion, which might also include Ger- many, France and Italy. This seems to mean that M.

William Martin, foreign editor of the Journal de Geneve, has just concluded a of three articles studying the Jjuridical, political and economic aspects of the Austro-German Pmlecr» Juridically, he concludes, both the peace treaties and the 1923 protocol were undoubtedly intended to prevent an Austro-German customs union, but he considers that the wording i8 in- sufficlently clear, and hence that a World Court decision is necessary. Sees Disturbing of Peace. Politically, he disapproves of the Austro-German move as tending to dis- turb the peace of mm&e. He recalls that when France and Belgium in 1840 tried to make a customs union, Great Britain protested aad the project was abandoned. 3 Economically, M. Martin also con- demns the Austrians and Germans on the theory their project is contrary to Europe’s general economic interests. . SNOW AND RAIN HELP MISSISSIPPI TRAFFIC | Pather of Waters Becomes a Real River Again—No Flood Danger. By the Associated Press MEMPHIS, April 3.—Melting snows in the North and Spring rains in the | Bouth have made Father Mississippi | look like a river again instead of a creek that hadn't quite dried up.

WASHINGLUN, ¢ 4 g, ITALO-FRENCH NAVY ACGCORD HITS SNAGS Further Size of Battleships and Replacements Reported Troubling Paris. bRIDAY, PARIS, April 3 (#).—A distinct im- pression prevailed here today that diffi- culties of the French and Italians in completing the naval accord drawn up in tentative form March 1 were more serfous than was officially admitted. “It seems that a profound misunder- standing separates France and Italy,” one expert said today. It was learned that the question of | replacement of warships which reach {the age limit before 1936 is receiving attention of the superior council for national defense, since the experts fear that the March 1 accord would leave France too weak in powerful ships. It is pointed out that Italy will have two new 23,000-ton ships in 1936 and Ger- mary two new “Admiral Scheers” as against only two new 23,000-ton ships for France. Another problem hovering about the naval negotiations, which will be re- sumed after Easter, is the future size of battleships which Britain has been arguing should be reduced from 35,000 tons. Although it is believed France is favorable to such a scaling down there is no record available hers of an actual decision to this effect. IOWA SENATE PASSES RULES ON STORE EGGS Air Space Must Be Eighth of Inch in Depth or Less Under Chamber’s Decision. By the Associated Press, DES MOINES, Iowa, April 3.—The Iowa Senate has made some provisions for the eggs that are sold in grocery stores. Specifically the Senators pro- vided that: 1. That the eggs shall be clean and sound, with an air space of not more than an eighth of an inch in depth, with the yolk only dimly visible and the white firm and clear. 2. The eggs shall be uniform in size, with a minimum weight of 25 ounces a | dozen. - Beauty experts warn against this common error in choosing soap OMEN prize youth. Men are attracted to youth. Youth means radiance, beauty, natural charm. “That schoolgirl complexion” is responsible for more conquests than men will admit. Palmolive Soap is made for one purpose—and one only—to keep lovely complexions young—to keep that schoolgir] complexion. Ordinary soaps may harm Don’t be misled. Just ordinary soaps— whatever their claims—will not do for you what Palmolive does. Until women saw the value of Palmolive as a beauty cleanser, few used soap on the face. When the cosmetic oils of olive and palm were blended in a complexion soap millions, on expert advice, turned to this new, simple, natural beauty method. Millions of lovely complexions testify to its value. Today over 20,000 leading beauty experts—recognized specialists—urge the use of Palmolive. Because they know the use of this soap makes their work easier and surer of perfect results. No other soap—no other beauty aid—has or ever had such a weight of professional authority back of it. Why will these important beauty specialists with large clienteles stake ; their reputations on this strong recommendation? It is important for you to know. No animal fats Palmolive—uniquely—is a non-animal fat soap. This is very important. To you who would use soap on your face, it means that it contains no animal fats of any kind but is a true vegetable oil soap. Again—uniquely— Palmolive contains the supreme cosmetic oils of all oils—olive and palm oils. It contains no other fats whatsoever. There is nothing in Palmolive to roughen or dry the skin. Only the “deep cleansing”, lotion-like lather so peculiar to a soap containing olive oil. No wonder beauty specialists urge it. They see its results. They note the smooth, soft, clear complexions that result. If you want to keep that schoolgirl complexion, choose Palmolive Soap—and no other!
