May 21. rresldent Wilson's Cabinet will soon bo Increased by three new portfolios Secre tary of Food Administration, Secretary of Munitions and Supplies, and a Secretary of Transportation according to official belief here today Action by tho Senate In limiting the pow ers of tho Council of National Defense so that much of the work now beltiR done by the advisory committee of the council will be shifted back directly to tho shoulders of the Cabinet has mado new posts In the Cabinet Imperative, officials declare Tho Senate doesn't Ilko tho Council of National Defense Its reasons are political. Members of the advisory committee wcro appointed by the President without tho sacred "advice and consent of the Senate " As a result, on amendment was adopted In tho urgent deficiency bill, stating that tho authority, carefully designated to the coun cil under tho act creating It, should not bo exceeded because of the war. This has placed the burden of real con structive work back on the Cabinet and tho advisory commltteo of the council Is lim ited again to tho work of co-ordinating a strictly ndvlsory capacity. Secretary of War Baker, ns a result. Is left not only with tho work of raising an army but also with the work of raising supplies and munitions for tho army. 'This is not as It should be at all," one of the foremost officials of the Government said. "Secretary Baker has all ho can do to take caro of tho army work Itself. The work of mobilizing munitions should bo turned over to another executive 'The same is true of Secretary Daniels. The work of getting supplies and munitions must be centralized. So must the problem of transportation. This can be done only by placing men with the same authority as present Cabinet membors In charge of the work " The post of "Secretary of Food Admlnls-t-atlon" has virtually been created In tho appointment by President Wilson of Herbert Hooer While Hoover prefers to serve without pay, there Is a bill now pending In the Senate creating the very post ho now fills, giving him tho authority he needs and the same salary and scope of work as a member of tho Cabinet. Men under consideration for posts of Secretary cf Munitions and Transportation aro also men who prefer to work for no salary, and ns a result tho new additions to the "war Cabinet" created, of course, only for tho period of the war may all be non ealarled officials.

We couldn't improve the soap so in each detail of economy and convenience we improved the box to make it worthy of its contents. FACTS about other shaving soaps Careful, practical tests show that the Stick is tho most economical shaving prepara. tion; Powder next, and Cream the least economical. But if you want to use the lux. urious and expensive cream form of shav. ing soap, you will find that Colgate's Shaving Cream is more economical than any other cream sold at about the same retail price. A tube of Colgate's contains more soap and more glycerine, the two essentials in a shaving cream; the soap to make the lather ; the glycerine to keep the soap in cream form ready for easy use. ( TRY THE SINKING TEST Soap and glycerine sink in water. A shav ing cream which floats is "fluffed up" with air. Drop into water a half inch of the shaving cream you are using. Does it sink or float? Is it all shaving value or partly air? Colgate's Shaving Cream will sink at once: proof.positive of its concentrated glycerine and soap content. Proof also that with Coleate'i you get the most econom ical shave possible from a shaving cream. Economy No Waste for the last of the soap unscrews from the grip1 and can be stuck to the top of the next stick.3 This gives a fifth to a sixth more usable soap than in other con tainers. An economy and a new feature. Greater Security no coming apart in your traveling case one turn of the screw thread locks the box. This, too, is new.3 Less Cost for Colgate's "refill sticks"4 will be sold at a lower price than the complete"HandyGrip."
