FRECKLES
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots How to Remove Easily
Here's a chance, Miss Kreckleface,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless
H removes the freckles; while If it
does give you a clear complexion
the expense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine
double strength from any drug or
department store and a few appli
cations should show you how easy it
is to rid yourself of the homely
freckles and get a beautiful com
plexion. Rarely is more than one
ounce, needed for the- worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double-strength Othine, as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
your freckles.

MRS. BERGDOLL IS
Receives Major Portion ol Her
Seized Estate
Philadelphia, July S Roland
S. Morris, appointed by tho federal
court aa special master In counter
suits brought by Mrs. Emma C.
nergdoll, mother of Grover Berg
doll, notorious draft evader, and
Thomas W. Miller, alien property
custodian, against each other, today
filed a report recommending that
the custodian be ordered to return
to Mrs. Pergdoll $140,000 in cash
and securities worth several hundred
thousand dollars.
In another report Mr. Morris re
fused to uphold the claim of the
custodian that Mrs. Bergdoll still
retains property worth $452,849 be
longing to her son, Ciroicr, nnd de
cided that she should turn over to
the government only $G, !!!.
Until Miles Appeal
The rulings, however, are not
final, for both Mrs. Bergdoll and the
alien property custodian filed ex
ceptions, which will be argued be
fore one of the judges of the federal
district court.
Among sev eral deductions claimed
by Mrs. Bergdoll and allowed by the
special master was $121,850 she Raid
she had given to Grover out of his
late father'n estate while he was
dodging arrest.
Pot of Gold Story
A new angle to the "buried pot of
gold" story, told by Grover Berg
doll when he made his escape from
army guards while on temporary
leave to go Into the hills of Mary
land to dig up the treasure, devel
oped during the hearing before Mr.
Morris.
It was reported the pot contained
$'.06,000. It is known that Berg,
doll received this amount of gold
from tho United States treasury in
exchange, for currency before he
was captured, courtmartialed and
sentenced to five years in Leaven
worth prison.
S24O.0O0 Buried
A sworn statement by Bergdoll
submitted nt the hearing said the
pot; contained $240. Oon, The state
ment was signed by Bergdoll before
a notary public in Baden, Germany.
where he has lived most of the time
since his flight from America. It
was sent, to Mrs. Bergdoll to aid in
her contention that she had turned
over her son's property to the cus
todian. The statement, attested by Dr.
Juris Wilhelm Rothfrllz, notary,
said In part:
"The $105,000 which my mother
claims to have burled. Is absolutely
her own. The $240,000 which 1
concealed (the gold buried In the
ground) and the gold notes which
I took along to Europe were my
own property and my mother knows
absolutely nothing about the place
where I buried the gold. No person
living outside of myself lias the
slightest idea as to where I took the
gold after I loaded It In my car in
Philadelphia. Whether or not my
mother buried any gold, I cannot
say; but I am absolutely certain
that if ehe did bury It, it must have
been her own since none of mine
ever came into her possession."
Favors Mrs. Bergdoll.
After Borgdoll's (light the alien
custodian seized all his available
property and also much of Mrs.
Borgdoll's: Both Mrs. Bergdoll
and the custodian tiled suits, the
former to recover her property and
the custodian to force her to give
an accounting of the remainder or
Grover's. That Mrs. Bergdoll had
$433,699 more than 6he had turned
over to the custodian as belonging
to her son, hut that she had ac

perty valued at more than $443,

to be In Germany. Several times

been reported aboard vessels bound
for this country but investigation

ICEBERG IMPRISONS
U. S. FREIGHTING BOAT!
Saugiis Reld on High lnlgo But
R'-ue Is LtTected n Ice
Shift.
f
New Tork. July 2 (,T The story
of a collision off t'ape Race with a
towering Iceberg which held the
United Shipping Board freighter
Saugus prisoner on a submerged
ledge for more than an hour was
told by Captain A. tl. Velten, com
mander of the vessel, when she
docked yesterday.
In tho collision with the Iceberg
the vessel ran onto a submerged
ledge and lifeboats were swung out
while three nearby fillips raced to th".
rescue. Then a shifting movement of
the berg cleared the ship and she
proceeded wdth little damage.
Tho collision occurred the morn
ing of Juno 28. Tho Pnltcd States
liner President Harding, the Hoi-
(lander-America liner Kijndam and
the freighter Astral were on their
way to the Saugus' assistance when
the movement of the berg set the
ship free.
CATHOLIC CENSUS
Only 48 Per font of Catholic Stu- j
dents Are in Higher Institutions
of That I aith.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 2 P) Only 4S
per cent of the Catholic students in
tho higher institutions of learning of
tho country are in Catholic univer
sities and colleges, Charles N. Lisch
ka, research specialist of the bureau
of education, Washington, D. C, said
in a paper read yesterday before the
Catholic Education association in
convention here. Mr. Llschka said
the number of students in Catholic
colleges in 1 924 was 84,938, while
in non-Catholic colleges there were
37,931 Catholics.
An attack on educational system
of the country which he said was
"backed by a lot of looso thinking"
was made by the Rev. Dr. George
Johnson, professor of education at
the Catholic Pnlvcrsity of America,
Washington, V, ('., in a paper last
night on '"The Need of a Construc
tive Policy for Catholic Education."
"Public education In the United
States Is passing through a crisis,"
he said. "It no longer knows of
whose spirit it Is nor whither it is
tending. While the. American peo
ple have by no means lost faith in
education, there is every evidence
that tho thinking populace .is losing
! faith In the kind of education
schools are providing."
FORD GIVES BIDS
Makes His Offer for 20(1 C.Oin
ment Vessels and bajs There I
Mo Misunderstanding.
Detroit, July 2 CP) Henry Foril
last night told thc Associated Press
that his bid for 200 vessels of tlm
Pnltcd states shipping hoard's fleet
had been forwarded to Washington
several das nzo by mail, and added
that there had been "no misunder
standing on my part" as to the date,
of opening the bids. The fact that
no bid had been received from Mr.
Kurd on Tuesday, when they were
opened by the board, occasioned
seme surprise and it had been said
that Mr. Ford had failed to bid for
the ships because of a misunder
standing over the date on which the
bids were to be opened.
Mr. Pord did not announce the
amount he had offered for the ves
sels, nor did he give any indication
of the sp"cificallon of his bid and
members of his engineering and
technical staff were unable to sup
ply this information.
Several firms have bid for por
tions of tho fleet of 100 ships, hut
only one firm, the Boston Iron anJ
Metal, bid for the entire, allotment,
offering $1.370,no0. Porno firms
qualified their bids by nddlng that if
their bid was accepted they could
sell parts of tho ships which they
could not salvage.

HALF BILLION CUT

Senator Jones Advocates This
as Slash to lax
Washington. July 2 P Tax re
duction of $500,000,000 at the next
session . of congress was advocated
hero by Senator Jones, democrat,
New Mexico, a member of the sen
ate, finance committee. ,
Such a reduction would be possi
ble, he held,' if the British debt pay
ments, approximating $200,000,000 a
year, were applied to the sinking j
fund to take the place of a like1
amount annually appropriated, out j
of tax revenues for reduction of the
bonded indebtedness, which, he ;
thought, had been advanced too '
rapidly. '
Favoring retention of a federal
Inheritance tax, abolition of which
has been suggested by treasury of
ficials, he expressed the opinion that J
it should be made to apply only to
the annual Inheritance received by '
each Individual after reduction of ,
nil state and other taxes Instead of
the total estate, as at present.
Revision' of tho corporation taxes
on a graduated rate basis also was
urged by Mr. Jones, together with
reduction in the. taxes imposed upon
utility corporations and railroads on
the ground that they are ultimately '
paid by the patrons.
