p K ATLINTA <> KOKOTAN AND MAAS, KIJIDW, APKIL IS. 1W3
i; an Says American Coast-
se Ships Will Go Through
Canal Vt/ithout Charge.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. |
WASHINGTON. April IS.—From;
Whit<? House lias eoine a sweep-j
denial of the report that Presi- j
I,,,it Wilson wus about to issue a j
lamatlon declaring he favored
[England's contention in the matter of
[he Panama Canal tolls.
The statement is simply that Presi-
j pn t Wilson is not “about to issue a
proclamation on this matter and that
he has not as yet taken up the prob-
, m and decided it."
There is no denial that the Presi-
p nt's views are definitely understood
lind that they are us. I have stated
ilietn. It is not likely that so 'wise
and prudent a diplomat as James
Bryce would have misrepresented to
the English people the attitude of the
American administration--
Senate's Firm Stand.
The one matter of supreme impor
tance to the American people is the
continued attitude of • the American
Senate toward the Panama tolls with
or without servile regard to the ex
ecutive branch of the Government.
Epon this question no man is per
haps so well authorized to speak as
janies O’Gorman, Senator from the
Slate of New York, chairman of the
committee on Interoceanic Canals,
mid perhaps more potential than any
ollior man in the Senate on the u’.ti-
nute decision of this question.
Senator O’Gorman, I am authorized
fully to say, stands firm in his posi
tion for tolls free for American coast-
wise ships operating through the
Panama Canal.
He says that he believes the Sen
ate is with him on this question, no
matter what the, President or anybody
else might say. , ,,
New York Senator holds un-
i|i[y that this is a question of
v i!"importance to the nation that
f , H nator must determine for him-
* When the Hoot bill, which provides
ih : American coasting ships shall
„„ exempt from paying tolls, was
p,, the Interoceanic Canal Coin -
at the last session it was laid
i table by a vote of 10 to 3. Sen-
.[,-■(/Gorman is chairman of the new
Miiinuttee. He says that the new
..remittee is as strongly in favor of
the exemption of coasting ships as the
old committee. He feels confident
til,,i the Senate will adhere to its
original position, when the original
rami! act was passed Uy a vote of
44 to 11.
Senator O’Gorman and other friends
of the canal hold resolutely that the
administration of that waterway is a
purely domestic question, in which no
other nation is concerned so long as
the Government of the United States
treats all other nations equally.
Senator O’Gorman and many other
Democrats contend the question of
the administration of the canal is not
a political, question. They say it is a
matter of domestic economy pure and
Ample. President Wilson may have
une view or lie may have another; he
has not yet definitely let It be known
what his views are.
But when he does, these views,
these Senators say, will be given
careful consideration, and Senators
will then vote fearlessly and inde
pendently. for the policy their own
Judgment dictates as the best policy.
Tl is not known that the President
Intends to peek to influence the Sen
ate on this subject. Senators are as
suming that he will not. Should the
President attempt to control Senators
on this subject, it is safe to predict
even at this early day that he will ut
terly fail to accomplish his purpose.
Xo time is to be lost bringing -tie
subject to an issue. The bilk of Sen
ator Root is before the committee.
Issue Up Tuesday.
Senator O'Gorman issued a call for
the first meeting at the committee to
be held next Tuesday. The Root bill
will receive the consideration so se
rious a subject requires. Senator
Root may ask for hearings. If tie
does, reasonable hearings probably
will be granted. The test in commit-
' 1 c. however, will come on a motion
to lay the bill on the table.
This motion will prevail by a two-
thirds or perhaps by an even greater
vote—the most emphatic of all votes.
It will require a complete reversal
of ooinion in the ^committee toreopen
the canal subject.
Senator O’Gorman is convinced
there will be no repeal of the toll ex
emption for American ships.

Get Two Lessons
For Price of One.
“1 have two pupils whose instin ts
are more commercial than artistic,”
said a music teacher who lives in In
man Park. “They have caused me
much amusement by a little trick
with which each gets two lessons
for the price of one. They’ are friends
\Y?d. startt ‘d coining to me together.
\\ hile I am giving a lesson to one the
other listens, and then in turn the sec
ond listens to my criticisms of h*‘r
friend. I belie\e each is learning fas
ter than she could if she had come
alone.”
Used His Tobacco
To Balk the Moths.
"Never lay in a supply of your fa-
vorite tobacco in the spring.” said a
confirmed smoker, whose hMne is in
East End.
“Why not,” asked his friend,
“doesn’t it keep well?”
“Not that. You may do as yyi
please if you’re not married. But last
week I stocked up with my favorite
brand—the one that’s almost too
costly, you know. Well, yesterday
I went to fill my pouch, but never a
bit of tobacco could I find. My wife
heard me hunting and explained. It
seems she had been putting away
things for the summer and being out
of moth balls had used my tobacco
as a substitute. That’s why I have
added a new one to my list of don’ts."
Bird in Window
Attracted Crowd.
A little flower store in Whitehall
Street hit on a plan the other day for
a window display which drew’ a crowd
that blocked the sidewalk. The plants
in the window were arranged to give
the effect of a flowerstrewn bit of
greensward. That wasvery pretty, but
the thing that drew the crowd was' a
bird that hopped about picking up
seeds and hunting its dinner among
the plants without the slightest trace
of the sflf-consciousnesfc of the “dem
onstrator.”

Didn’t Know Himself
After Losing Beard.
“I’ve heard of absent minded per
sons,” said a barber, “but the strang
est case I ever know’ of happened !n

“A customer who has been wearing
a beard for years, and has come in
once or twice a month to have it
trimmed, came in this morning and
had it taken off. After the operation
I Wouldn’t have known him if I’d met
him in the street.
"But a stranger thing was that he
didn’t know’ himself. When he got out
of the chair and looked at his face in
the mirror he turned around to see
who the strange chap was whose face
he saw in the glass.”
Feed Their Appetites
Through Their Eyes.
“Did you ever watch the crowd that
gathers in front of a window of a
cafe or restaurant where tempting
eatables are displayed?” asked a
woman.
“It certainly affords an opportunity
for thought. The other day an old
woman with a faded shawl stood and
gazed longingly at the tempting
delicacies. She moved away and her
place w’as taken by a man whose ap
pearance indicated that he spent much
time on the benches in the park.
As I watched these two walk away
with unsatisfied appetites I wish I
could have taken them inside and giv
en them what they would like, but I
didn’t have the price.”
“Let not a house escape!” was the
order given to-day when an attack
ing army of school children was
turned * loose, upon the householders
of the city.
The forces were organized, equipped
and instructed by the City Federation
of Women’s Clubs and the Chamber
of Commerce for the annual engage
ment against the winter’s accumula
tions of dirt and refuse. The foray
into the enemy’s country to-day is
only a preliminary skirmish The
real battle will come to-morrow when
the householders, properly subdued,
will join with the children and give
the city the most thorough cleaning-
up it ever has received.
Each of the youngsters was armed
with a card. On it was a blank for
the householder’s name. A signature
indicated that the owner or occupant
of the house pledged himself to assist
in the big clean-up to-m£rrow; to
clean the sidewalks, paint his build
ings, plant flowers in the front yard,
remove the refuse from the back
yard or perform any other task that
was greatly needed about his home.
Children Asked to Insist.
The children were instructed not
to leave any home until they had
the signature.
hort-y thousand of these cards were
in the hands of the children when the
campaign began to-day, more than
enough to go into every home in the
city. The young people will turn
them back to their teachers Monday
and the teachers will give them to
representatives of the City Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs. The schools
which produce the largest number of
signed cards yi proportion to the at
tendance will be given prizes.
When the suggestion was made
that many of the persons who were
persuaded to sign the cards might
proceed to forget all about their
promise, Mrs. Charles J. Hadcn,
president of the federation, said:
Pledges Nearly All Fulfilled.
“It is a remarkable fact that last
year practically all of the pledges
were fulfilled. The people owning
and occupying houses appeared to be
as enthusiastic about “clean-up day”
as the children themselves. They
took a pride in having their own
yards and buildings as spotless as
those of their neighbors.
“But we are going to see how it
tVorks out tffis year. Those v/ho fail
to keep their pledges will be discov
ered, for the women of the federa
tion are going to make a trip about
town in about a week to see just
what has been accomplished.
“The last of the cards were distrib
uted yesterday. More children are in
terested in the ‘clean-up day’ than
last year. All are more eager and
enthusiastic. I think that it will be
even a greater success than last
year.”
CHICAGO SWITCHMEN AND
RAILROADS COMPROMISE
“Maiden’s Blush” and “Hitchy
Koo” Are Names Given to
Other Late Styles.
LONDON, April 18. — Half of fern-'
ini lie London crowded the show
rooms of a tlressmnkef, who by a ju- J
dicibus use of a title, combined with j
artistic sepse, lias svfcceededin mak- j
mg for herself a special place among
the costumers of the world.
Dainty frocks for debutantes were
distinguished by quaint titles. "My.*
Best Girl” was a delicate blue tus ,
sore calling dress; “Maiden’s Blush’ |
was a dance dress in rose-petal satin; [
“Hitcliy Koo” was a pale blue serge
coat and skirt; "First Kiss” was a
calling suit in pink charmeuse; while
“Cutest Little Tning” was a del
icate mauve pink crepe tussore dress,
with »ivory lace.
Every evening corsage was slight
and diaphanous. Most were of chif
fon with embroidered edges and ki
mono sleeves. A success was achieved
by the “Eldorado,’ a white satin din
ner gown with a high black velvef
belt, from which long wide streameYs
depended to form the train. An
original ball dress named "i/Heure
Supreme” was made with folded
draperies of hydrangea blue chiffon
from the waist, with glimpses of
blue and green satin. This gown
eclipsed the delicate radiance of
“Aphrodite,” a bright rose charmeuse
dance frock with a wide scarf to
match.
Altogether nearly 10ft dresses for
the 1918 season were shown. They
make it clear that draperies narrow
at the feet and ample at the hips,
with the waist in the natural position,
but hign in front and slightly ove"
hung by the bodice at the back, and
the belted eoat and V-shaped opening
at the throat will characterize the
fashions of to-morrow.

How He Got Rid
of ‘ ‘ Rush Orders. ’ ’
“Several times in the past few
weeks we have been called to the
phone by some woman who was trying
to get a meat market,” said a bachelor
who keeps house with several other
men. “Apparently this woman had a
way of giving the butcher shop’s num
ber so that is sounded like ours. The
voice was always the same and the
woman invariably had a rush order.
It was amusing at first, but it be
came tiresome. So last week I did
something.''
"What did you do?"
“I took her order for a dozen chops
to be sent around at once and ,he
hasn’t given me an order since.”
CHICAGO, April 18.—Railroad
Switchmen and general managers of
Western railroads entering Chicago
to-day have settled their difficulties.
A compromise was reached under
which the switchmen agreed not to
push their demand for time and one-
half for overtime and the railroads
granted an increase in pay.
“Chicken Pie To-day’’
Stirs Up Whole Street.
Flapping his arms to right and left,
raising them over his head, describing
eccentric orbits with his hands, a sailor
in the uniform of the U. S. Navy crossed
the Forsyth Street viaduct yesterday at
about 1 o’clock.
Such unusual conduct was enough to
draw the attention of every one in the
strfeet. Some stopped to watch him,
with amused-smiles. As the “Jackie"
approached a superstitious negro
dodged. The sailor seemed not to notice
what a stir he was making. He kept
his eyes skyward.
“Crazy as a loon, remarked one pe
destrian with a grin.
“Oh! I guess not, answered his
companion. “Look up there.’’
In the window of the recruiting sta
tion stood a petty officer watching in
tently. . , , . .
"He’s wig-wagging, explained a by
stander “I was in the signal corps
once myself. What he telegraphed was
that the lunch room on the corner has
chicken pie to-day.”

BACKACHE IS
A DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Dis
orders, Rheumatism, and
Serious Diseases Follow.
There are other symptoms, such
as pains in the region of the kid
neys, nervousness, dizziness, tired
and worn-out feeling, weak blad
der, or urinary troubles, which
are just as dangerous, for the
slightest kidney derangement if
neglected mav develop into the
deadly Bright’s Disease, Dropsy,
or Diabetes.
It is not only dangerous, but
needless, for you to suffer, and en
dure the tortures of these troubles,
for the new discovery, Croxone,
promptly ends all such misery.
There is no more effective rem
edy known for kidney, bladder
trouble, and rheumatism than
this new scientific preparation,
because it removes the cause. It
soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and linings,
cleans out the clogged up pores,
neutralizes and dissolves the poi
sonous uric acid and waste matter,
that lodge In the joints and mus
cles and cause those terrible rheu
matic pains, and makes the kid
neys filter the poison from the
blood and drives it out of the sys
tem.
Three doses of Croxone a day
for a few days is often all that Is
ever needed to relieve the worst
backache or overcome disagree
able urinary disorders, and you
can take It with the utmost con
fidence that nothing on earth will
so quickly reaoh the worst case of
kidney, bladder trouble, or rheu
matism.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. It is so
prepared that it Is practically im
possible to take it into the human
system without results. An orig
inal package costs but a trifle, and
all druggists arc authorized to re
turn the purchase price if Crox-
one should fail in a single case.
Psychology Bureau
For U. S. Advocated
Professor Munsterberg Would Test
Workers’ Mental Capacity for
Their Occupation.
WASHINGTON, April 18.—“A
Government bureau In the Depart
ment of Labor, it seems to me- i
bureau of psychology,‘if you please—
ought to be established for the ex
amination of persons who are 'en
gaged in the industries,” declared
Hugo Munsterberg, professor of psy
chology in Harvard University, who
spent some time with President Wil
son yesterday.
"I have long advocated Federal ex
amination of persons in the indus
tries,” continued Professor Munster
berg. "My plan would ho to have a
ccjus of experts in psychology make a
study of persons engaged in all kinds
of industrial work, with a view to de
termining their fitness for the employ
ment they select. The mental capac
ity of men and women is just as im
portant as their physical soundness.'

Keep Your Bowels Open.’’
Doctors Estimate 75 Per
Cent of Sickness Due to
Torpid Liver.
Some undigested food is left -n
the stomach daily, which the liver
, should clear away. A heavy or un-
! usual diet, or a change in water,
may cause the liver to leave a few
particles to press and (dog, and the .
next day more are left over. So ;
this waste accumulates, clogging
stomach and intestines, and caus
ing constipation.
That is not all. If the waste Is*
not eliminated it ferments and
; generates uric acid, a poinson
which gets into the blood and
through the system.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT imme
diately flushes the stomach and in
testinal tract and washes away
every particle of waste and fer
mentation; It purifies the blood by
dissolving what uric acid has ac
cumulated and passing it off In
the urine.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is much
better than calomel; no danger of
salivation, no need of an after
cleansing dose of oil. It acts
quickly and mildly; never^orces,
gripes or nauseates. It effer
vesces agreeably. Take it before
breakfast and in an hour you’ll feel
splendid.
Don’t take an Inferior substitute;
some closely imitate the name, but
none produces the same result. All
druggists should have the genuine
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT, 25e. . If
yours can not supply you, full size
