Do women cling to decisions longer
than men2 That's an open question. In
China, men do the washing and they have
been doing it in the same old way for
1000 years.
In America more than a million
women have broken away from the old
fashioned traditions, and have adopted the
Fels-Naptha way of washing. That means
cold or lukewarm water-never hot-no
boiling, no hard rubbing, a saving of time,
temper, trouble, fuel, clothes and health.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

state to Washington TO visit you, one
Of the first things he does is 10 ask
you if YOU know such and such man,
and nine times out of ten it is some
nigh official whose picture Is a common
household adjunct. Invariably you say
you do, and promise TO point the per
sonage out the Arst time you see him.
You probably know him by sight. and
have seen him dozens of times. but how
observing are you? Can you describe
him?
Suppose YOU had only silhouette OF
his head. could you identify him ont Of
a group of a dozen? On first thought II
seems very simple and easy, but when
you try il you begin TO get puzzled. and
find that you do not know the subject
half as we'll as you thought you did.
Then take a silhouette of a close per-
sonal friend, and you will be surprised
to see how difficult it is TO recognize
him out OF a group.
On one Of the color pages In the
magazine section OF tomOrrOw's Times
YOU viii find a page devoted to the sub

Amendment Opposing IreIand's
Hopes Is Rejected.

London, March 30.-In the House Of
Commons to-day. John Redmond, leader
Of the Irish party. moved That the pres
ent system of government in Ireland IS
in opposition TO the viii Of the Irish
people and gives them no voice in the
management OF their own affairs; that
the system is, consequently, inefficient.
eXtraVagant. and costly; that il does not
enjoy the confidence Of a section OF the
population; that IL is productive Of uni
versal discomfort and unrest, and is in
capable OF satisfactorily promoting the
material and intellectual progress Of the
people; that the reform OF the Irish gov
eminent is a matter vital 70 the inter-
ests or Ireland and calculated 10 greatly
promote the well-being of the people Of
Great Britain; that, IN the opinion of this
house, a solution of this problem can be
attained only by giving the Irish people
legislative and executive control Of all
purely Irish affairs"
Mr.. Redmond, speaking OF his resoIu-
ton, said that the home rule question
occupied a position in which il could
not indefinitely continue An overwheim-
ing majority OF the members OF the
House OF Commons had professed their
belief that the only solution OF the prob
lem was the concession OF home rule
and the government had publicly spoken
TO the same effect.
Redmond said that the cniy real srgu-
ment against home rule be was almost

A JOINT HIGH COMMISSION
Provided for in Inland Fisheries
Agreement Just Arranged.
Arbitration Pact Also Ready for re.
neral-Preservation OF Niagara
Falls Under Consideration.

\ tentative agreement has been reached
between Secretary of State Root, on
the part Of the United States, and James
Bryce. the British Ambassador TO the
United States. in the negotiation OF the
treaty for the settlement Of the questions
arising between the United States and
Canada over the inland fisheries along
Toe boundary.
The main features Of the fisheries treaty
provide for the appointment of a joint
high commission consisting OF two mem
hers for each country, who will have
IOwer to settle all administrative details
and to take steps for providing regula-
tiors for catching and preserving the
supply Of fish.
The convention will include all the in
land boundary waters between Passama-
quoddy Bay. New Brunswick, and Puget
Sound, and viii remain in force for -four
years. After that time the convention
may be abrogated upon one years notice
by either contracting party.
The treaty is modelled after the recon-
mendations Of the joint high commission
Of 1892, appointed 10 consider the fresh
water disputes
An agreement has also been reached be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain for an arbitration treaty similar "a
that negotiated in 1904 between Secretary
Of State John Hay and Sir Mortimer Du-
rand. then British Ambassador to the
United States.
The Publications Of this treaty were
never exchanged. because the United
States Senate inserted an amendment
which provided that the subject matter of
any dispute which was 10 be Grbitrated
had 10 be submitted 20 the Senate for its
approval before the dispute could be sub
mitted 10 the court of arbitration.
The treaty providing for the preserva-
ton Of the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls
and for the use Of the waters Of the
Niagara River by power companies is still
in q preliminary stage. II is not likely
that it will be completed for several
weeks
There has been a slight hitch in the ne
gotiatons upon this treaty. II is doubtful
If il can be completed IN time for its sub
mission 10 the Senate at this session.
The treaty more clearly defining the wa
ter boundaries between the United States
and Canada has also been practically set
tied. IL is understood that in this treaty
the recommendations of the International
Waterways Commission have in the main
been followed.
II is not likely that these treaties viii
be acted upon at the present session OF
Congress.
