Sinclair petition for a rehearing of the car- in which the supreme court upheld his three-month jail sentence and SSOO fine for senate contempt was before the court today.

The arguments may be held Thursday. The case also includes the api>eal.s of Henry Mason Day, William ,f. Burns and W. Sherman Burns, also held m contempt and given lighter fines as accomplices in the jury-shadowing. Owen J. Roberts, special government counsel, will argue the government's ease against Sinclair. Sinc 1a i r’s rehearing petition charged the senate contempt statute was unconstitutional, in that it gave a witness no chance to test his rights before a court, before testifying before the committee. The oil millionaire was indicted and convicted for refusing (o answer questions put by the senate Teapot Dome committee in March. 1924, and at that time, according to his lawyers. the supreme court had not decided the Daugherty case, in which power of congressional committees to require testimony was upheld.

Wins Praise

The quality of her acting as the Private Secretary in “The News Paade” is winning the praise of movie fans everywhere for this lovely newcomer to the screen. At home in New York City, hundreds admire her charming personality and she has faiitfy “set the style" on Broadway by the way she dresses her hair. "The simple method I use in caring *for my hair." says Miss' Shea, “has been of great help to me in my motion picture work, where one's hair must always lock its best. It's just the thing for busy girls, too. because it is so easy. Most of the girls I know in stage and picture work are taking it up as soon as they hear about it. All you do is put a little Danderine on your brush every time you see it. It makes your hair so easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It's ideal for girls who are letting their hair grow. It keeps my hair and scalp so clean and comfortable. I don't shampoo half so often, now. It gives my hair such a silky, soft, lustrous appearance that all my friends comment on it.” Danderine removes the oily film irom each strand of hair, restores its natural color, gives it more lustre than brilliantine. It cleanses and invigorates the scalp; helps overcome .dandruff. It is delightfully fragranced; isn’t sticky or oily; doesn’t show. Waves, “set” with it, last longer. All drug stores have it, in generous 35c bottles.—Advertisement." ,

Picturesque and Brave Is TliisD. A. R. Opponent

Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie Is High in Society, but Simple in Tastes. BY RODNEY DITCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 18.—Mrs. Tufts Bailie, the Boston woman who has been making the officials of the Daughters of the American Revolution so miserable—some say ridiculous—is as picturesque as she is courageous. The most impressive thing about her appearance is the simplicity of her dress. She is the wife of a well-to-do manufacturer of wicker furniture. a descendant of James Otis, a person entitled to social recognition and a woman of intelligence and great personal charm. In other words, she can afford to dress as-she likes —and does! Wears Simple Garb. She came to Washington with her appeal against the D. A. R. expulsion because of her blacklist protest, wearing a black straw' hat with black satin crown, beige cotton stockings and plain black, lowheeled oxford shoes. Over a plain, nondescript blue dress she wore a long, gray knitted ! sweater and a rose scarf which ! twined arouhd her neck and fell be- ; low her waist on each side. Her gloves were brown kid and ; her coat an ordinary brown tweed | with shawl collar. Looks Like Radical, j With unruly gray hair, tortoiseshell glasses and a healthy natural complexion, Mrs. Bailie looks almost as much a radical as the D. A. R. has sought to make her look. But her voice is soft and her words very much to the point. She is well equipped with modesty, poise and facts. And behind her she has a great number of distinguished friends, most of them named on the D. A. R. “blacklists" or attracted to her by the fight she made last year.
