AMERICAN NATIONS ASK RIGHTS
Action Taken to Secure Protection Of
Neutral Countries.

Washington, Dec 9.-Twenty nations
of the western hemisphere expressed
their disapproval of the effects Of OPP
eratiops OF the European belligerents
in the waters OF the two Americas
yesterday and appointed a commission
of diplomats to formulate practical
steps contemplating a more vigorous
assertion OF the rights of neuirals.
Gathered in the n-American
Union Building. the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the American republics.
most OF them under specific instfuc-
lions from their governments, urged
united action by the nations of this
hemisphere to restore trade and re-
move some Of the burdens placed on
commerce by the European wal.
Underlying the several speeches
made by the diplomats was a note of
warming that the presence Of beliger-
ent warships In the western hemi-
sphere already had produced grave
complications between American ma
tons and European powers. demon
strating the vital need Of PanAmeri-
can solidarity.
Secretary Bryan made the opening
speech, pointing out that the United
States synpathized deeply with The
| plight OF lis n-ighboring republics ana
declaring the innocent nations should
/ not be forced to suffer for the acts of
J the bellieereni&.
After n general discussion the follow
ing resolution was adopted unanimous
lily:
! THE governing board OF the Pan
American Union declares:
! Il That the magnitude OF tae pres
ent European war presents new prob
lens of international law the solution
of which is of equal interest to the
! entire world.
"2 That the form in which the
operations of the helligerents arc de-
veloping they rebound 20 the injury Of
tue neutrals.
80. That the principle cause for this
result is that the respective rights oil
the belligerents and of the neutraE
are not clearly defined. notwithstand-
ing that such definition is demanded
both by general convenience as by the
spirit OF justice which doubtlessly ami.
mates the belligerents with respect Il
the interests of the neutrals-
~ That considerations OF ever!
character call for a definition Of sucl
rights as promptly as possible upof
the principle that liberty of commerce
should not be restricted beyond TIN
point indispensable for military opera

There Is no economy in buying cheap
shields. as in most cases the rubber
breaks through after one or two wash
ings, and even though they seem to repre-
sent a heavy expenditure, it is less eX-
pensive in the end to put the money in
several pairs than to ruin one waist.
How many pairs of shields should be kept
on hand and how frequently they should
be washed depend much upon the con-
dition of the wearer. Whenever a cos
tune is changed the shields should be
changed also. and hung up to air r.nd dry.
and in this way they may be worn sew

For washing a safe way Is to soak the

RESTORING RAVAGES
OF WIND AND SUN

No better face bleach can be found
than cucumbers. These should be applied
to the skin in congresses. One woman,
whose face becomes a mass of freckles
as soon the sun shines hot, sleeps
with thin slices of cucumbers bound
tightly on face and arms. After several
weeks of this treatment her skin is as
soft and pink as baby's
When fresh cucumbers cannot be OBJ
tanned the following prescription will
prove invaluable: Ten grams oxide zinc.
ten grams talcum powder, sixty grams
powdered CASTLE soap: eight grams lano-
line, ten grams tincture benzoln, ninety
two grams water, ten grams glycerln.
At night before going to bed wash the
face in very hot water and apply the
pomade Wash in hot water again i'll
the morning. ...
Many faces lose their beauty because
the cheeks become pudgy or bloated look
ing and seem to crowd out the eyes A
Partisan remedy for this trouble is to
wash the face each day in a lotion made
from one gallon of hot water in which
has been dissolved enough of the best
scented soap to make a thick suds. ADD
a teaspoonful of borax and handful of
bran. Lather the face. allowing the soap
to remain on five minutes. Wash off In
seven waters, with few drops of t1ncture
of benzoin IN the last water.
If a girl has been out in the hot sun
without a hat the hair is apt to have
had some of its natural oil dried out.
This dryness of the scalp may be largely
overcome by thorough brushing with
good stiff bristles night and morning.
II the hair has to be curled in this dry
condition it is best to use patent curriers'
rather than tongs. Before putting on the
curriers' wet the hair with the following
lotion: Three-fourths of dram of ounce
seed. one-fourth OF a pint of hot water,
one-fourth of an ounce of cologne. three
drops each of oil of cloves and lavender.
Mix oil and cologne. and soak the seeds
over night in hot water. Then strain and
add to the cologne.
No matter what remedy is given. it is
useless unless persisted in. And the
woman who would rid herself of the un
desirable consequences of the spring
winds must follow out the simple aids
given above with religious diligence.

PARIS. May 25.-When we speak
of distinctly tailored" hats these
days the term seems almost para
doxical, for there is nothing the least
bit tailored about them generally, espe-
cially as compared to the stiff, adamant
sailor shapes and priIn toques of bygone
days that in their. unyielding rigidness
suggested genuine relics of the stone age.
Present-day tailored models are tailored
only in the sense that they are most
appropriately designed for the so-called
tailored costumes of the times, for in
these, too, the real all-wool tailored ef-
fects. embodying mannishness and good,
rough serviceableness, are not catalogued
in the style book of 1914.
