minded me of a little episode I had seen
enacted in the drug store where I phoned
after escaping from Certeis’ house.
A fine looking young man was waiting
—standing around—while a prescription
was being filled for him. And I noticed
that he had been picked out as "easy”
by a very handsome girl at the candy
counter. She wore a right, skirt and a
transparent blouse and her camisole was
cut shamelessly low.
The i-irl went out of her way to brush
against ’lie man and to stand cloze to
him iri the crowd, ay if by chance, with
her pretty pink shoulder close under his
eyes.
And then I .saw such a look of disgust

her impudence. li< moved away from

wondered if the girl had sense enough
to see how he loathed her.

URGE REMOVAL OF
RESTRICTIONS GN
PRIVATE BUSINESS
Cotton Manufacturers Memori
alize Government at Closing
Session.
New York —A resolution demanding
that "all govern, lent restrictions on
private business, riot found necessary
before the war, he immediately remov
ed" was adopted us the closing act of
the annual convention of the National
Cotton Manufacturers Association here
Friday. The association also went on
record rts regarding as a fallacy "any
declaration that a declining cotton out
put will be for the eventual good of the
employes of the trade, believing that
America can best provide employment by
increasing it’s product and lowering it's
cost of manufacture,”
\Y\ Frank Hhov»; of Fail Liver. Mass.,
was elected president for the ensuing
year.
The National Cotton Manufacturers
Association closed it's annual comen
tion here Friday with morning and af
ternoon business sessions devoted to the
technical discussion of subjects of in
terest to the trade.
James Thomson, of New Bedford. Mass,
who presided at the morning session,
called attention to the fact that the in
dustry had been handicapped during the
last few years by the lack of continuity
of employment and the hitherto low
average wage scale compared with other
Industries, but the latter difficulty had
been overcome, he said, by Increased
wages which now compared favorably
with those of other crafts. "Continuity
of employment” he said "is a panacea
for much of the industrial unrest that
has existed."
Dr. Hollis Godfrey of Philadelphia
who sv*okr- on "training the workers for
tlm new era," and Clinton MacKenzie,
u New York architect, who discussed the
housing problem in industrial towns and
cities, were, the other speakers at the
morning session.
GEDMIII COURIERS
REICH VERSAILLES
Pari#—The first of the Germans who
are to participate in the Versailles con
ference art now in Versailles in two
parties. The first group, consisting of
three official couriers arrived early yes
terday and the second headed by Herr
Lersner, came later. They were es
corted to the Hotel Des Reservoirs.
The Germans were met at the sta
tion by Colonel Henry of the Ministry
of War Commissionary and M. Oudaille
of the ministry of the Interior who were
delegated by the foreign office to take
charge of German representatives.
The augmentation in numbers of the
delegation above those mentioned made
no effort to seek additional quarters and
a second hostelry, the hotel Vatel. prob
ably will be requisitioned for the tele
graphers, newspaper correspondents and
other attaches of the Teuton mission.
The arrival of Lersner and his party
was so quietly arranged that few if any
persons in Versailles outside the care
fully selected force of hotel servants as
signed to their rooms and to the serving
ol meals, were aware even in the after
noon of their presence.
A French detective of the most obvious
"plain clothes" type lounging at the
front entrance lo that wing of the hotel
Des Reservoire and companions under
the windows of the rooms looking over
Versailles Park were th«: only indica
tions of the character of the state guests
who had displaced civilian lodgers and
forced them to seek other shelter in
crowded Versailles. ' r he detectives did
not interfere with traffic in tho street
or in the park. Orders evidently bad
been given to make the service of sur
veillance or protection for the Germans
as unobtrusive and unobjectionable ah
possible.
Protection and the avoidance of pos
sible unpleasant incidents, rather than
restr'etions, will, in fact, be the purpose
of BUCtv police measures as arc taken,
according to a statement made to the
Associated Press today by one of the
French representatives assigned to the
mission. The Germans will not be ex
pected and probably do not desire to ex
tend their movements' into tho general
quarters of Versailles, but they will be
allowed freedom of movement between
their two hotels.
Nor is it expected that the Germans
will seek to extend their promenades fat
and wide through the vast park of Iloyal
Versailles which stretches from their
hotels in one direction far tjevond the
great palace Le Roi Soleil. and in the
other to tho Trianon arid the Petit Tri
anon, but necessary police precautions
will be taken to prevent annoyance by
curiosity seekers or possible hostile per
sons in that part of the park adjoining
the hotel where they take their walks
and through which they pass to and from
the Hotel Trianon where the preliminary
discussions with the associated delega
tions will take place.
"We do not expect to drive the nurse
maids and children from their customary
play grounds but we will keep any crowds
from gathering and particular!'’ outsid
ers from Paris who might think it Sun
day amdsement to come to Versailles and
hoot the Germans or do something not in
consonance with the dignity of flic pea'*e
conference" said a French police offi
cial.
Herr Lersner and his party immediate
ly went to their rooms on arriving and
had breakfast served to them from the
hotel kitchen b\ the hotel servant^This
fact answered a question over wT-rjh the
French newspaper men have been con

pected to bring their- own food to Ver

will have their own bills of fare on th«
fare on the same footing as the other
peace delegations.
The large dining room in the main
wing of the hotel Des Reservoires has
been reserved for them. The summer din
ing room, with glass enclosed veranda
remains accessible to the general pub
lic. This dining room was filled at noon
today with persons at luncheon who were
not aware of their proximity to the Ger
mans. Even many of the waiters in
the hotel had not learned of the arrival
of Lersner and the other Germans.
The Germans remained in their rooms
during the morning but commenced in
the afternoon to make the preliminary
arrangements for the arrival of the Ger
man delegation. This probably will be
May 1. although the date has not been
finally determined.
The German delegation will be allowed
to use code in communication with Ger
many and will have direct telephonic and
telegraphic connections. The Germans
v. ill be able to use couriers who will
enoyj full diplomatic immunity.
SHOE CONSERVATION
\V. H. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Neolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of soles
served on a second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, “Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear.’’
This is unusual service even lor
Neolin Soles but Mr. Kelley's experi
ence should indicate to you a method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Neolin
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Akrcn. Ohio, who
also make \\ ingfoot Heels, guaran
teed to outwear any other heels.
