The penalty is to be that Belgium will report Germany to the reparations commission for punitive action. The Belgium ultimatum delivered by Foreign Minister Jasper marks complete breakdown of the negotiations between Germany and Belgium for payment of priority reparations claims. Anew crisis has been precipitated. The Germans. Bergmann and Fischer, arrived here this afternoon to explain their attitude. The Belgian authorities here told the United Press: “It has been demonstrated that Germany does not wish to pay Belgium.

If Germany doesn't do this, the commission must decide if her failure is voluntary or involuntary. “If the former, then the allies, under the treaty of Versailles, are authorized to exact penalties.” HOUSE RECEIVES NEW TARIFF ACT; LIT ON DEBATE

Famous Beauty Emphasizes Necessity of Frequent Massages to Develop Face

By TALLULAH BANKHEAD Women don’t expect to be artists or musicians without practice and study, but they apparently see nothing illogical about becoming beauties without effort. I believe that facial massage is one of the greatest aids to beauty, and that it does more than any one thing to give a woman a well-groomed, youthful appearance. The right sort of massage promotes the circulation, nourishes the skin, improves the texture, and chases away the wrinkles that steal youth. Watch for Wrinkles Some nice, sunny day take your hand mirror where a strong light will be reflected on it and look carefully for any young lines that seem to he getting a start. You’ll be most apt to find them around the corner of your eyes. To remove these, dip your fingers in massage cream and rub the surface very gently, working outward from the corners with a rotary motion. Massage Forehead The forehead usually needs attention. It collects both vertical and horizontal lines 1f left to Its own devices. Then take care of your neck. Massage it, too, working upward toward the hair. And while you are massaging, relax. What really causes wrinkles Is nervous strain and tension. Your mind gets wrinkled, too. TURKS THREATEN WAR WITH ALLIES; DEMAND CAPITAL
