Jeddah Parley Collapses The conference held at Jeddah, port of. the Moslem holy city of Mecca, appears to have broken down by rea- son of a disagreement over the thorny question of frontier fortifications. The dispute dates back to last year when the Irak Government constructed a fort at Busayah, which was seine seventy miles inside the frontier. The Wahabi tribesmen, however, were ac- customed to use the Busayah wells and it was claimed that the building of the fort was contrary to the agree, meat between the British Government and Ilan Saud, under which no forts A Lucky Ending to a Disasterous Flight CRAFT FROM ,STEAMSHIP RESCUES COURTNEY IN MID -ATLANTIC A boat from the S.S.

Even Bed Linens Are Colored Now A. rising title of color is gaily eh- gulfing the modern home.

Though not all of us can afford the decoration of bright -hued mural paint- ings, aintings, and every landlord cannot be. convinced that colored bathtubs and sinks are a necessity, still in lesser ways the flaming path of color is open to all of us. Lastly, the bedroom falls beneath the sway of this cromatic wave.

In general the minutao. turers of colored linens have had in mind the colors popularly used in blankets and have chosen their colors to match these..

The Skin Needs" Exercise.. To Be Beautiful Skin cleanliness is partly a matter of bathing, and partly a matter of ex- ersize of the skin :which is accom- .eanied by surface massage or skin friction. What most people do not realize Is that there is more to shin cleanliness than mere soap and water. Real skin activity is the important thing and that• is accompleehed by sufficient. friction of the right kind to stimulate activity of the porus and to remove the waste. Literally .thousands cf dead cells may be rubbed off the skin every day, along .with its secretions, and the benefit arises not only from the removal of this waste matter, but frons that improvement of the circula- -lion that naturally goes with it. ; "Otte may use either flesh brushes or Turkish towels.
