ADVOCATESA A NATION

Mayor BIankenburg Stirs Pan
American Delegates in Inde.
pendence Hall, Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. June 2.-Business
men and bankers in the United States
must not expect to develop trade with
South and Central America unless they
conform to the standards Of those coun-
tries, make the right prices and are
willing to extend terms Of credit such
as the Southern republics have received
from Europe in the past
This was the message delivered in be-
half Of the delegates to the recent Pan
American financial conference by Senor
Santiago Perez Triana OF Colombia at
a banquet in honor of the delegates.
Trade, said Senop Triana. is not con-
Quoted along altruistc lines. but Is a
matter of dollars and cents. The United
States, he pointed out, has a wonderful
opportunity to get the trade which Eu-
rope once had, but 1t must make the
same effort to supply the needs OF South
and Central America as was mado by
European nations.
Urges a Nation of Nations"
The visitors from the South listened
to a suggestion from Mayor Blanken-
burg that there should be a declaca ton
Of interdependence by thirteen or more
nations of the Western Hemisphere
which would assure safety on the seas
! to commerce and which would protest
| its ships with an international flag, the
| symbol of a new nation Of nations"
The mayor spoke in Independence
Hall
| II believe" he said. that the need is
| so great for such a flag that the peoples
will unitedly respond to a call for the
| nations to get together to decide on its
purposes.
Upon this meeting. properly followed
up" said the Mayor. may be organized
a new nation of nations. This is tn,
shrine. the Mecca, where all Americana
should and do worship. The time ha!
come when thirteen or more nations OF
this continent should sign Declaration
| Of Interdependence. Can we not form
such a union between ourselves tha
would be absolutely irresistible?"

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless>. is much better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly in!ure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces Is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.-Advt.

A legion Of people have used s. s. 8. and
have overcome the worst forms OF rheuma-
tism.
This disease of the blood Is little under
stood because of its strange symptoms,
scarcely two people having 1t exactly alike.
And yet, no matter what Its form or how
painful and distressing s. s. s. seems to
have almost a divine influence in driving 1t
out, releasing. the nerves from pain and
clearing the joints and muscles SO they
work without restraint. The best explcna-
tion for this happy result Is the fact that In
s. s. s. are certain ingredients which act as
an antidote. They are natures providence
to man.
Just as the meats, fats, salts and sugars
of our daily food provide us with nourish-
ment, so does s. S. s. give to the blood the
exact medicinal requirement to clear the
stream, drive out impurities and recon-
struct the body If destructive germs have
gained n foothold. Go to any drug store
today and get a bottle Of s. S. 3. 1t will do
you good. But be sure to refuse any and

Ebert Hubbard Was
an Enthusiastic
Patron of the
Film Drama

In view of the memorial services
that are being held throughout the
country to honor the distinguished
men who were victims of the Lusi-
tania disaster 1t is interesting to re-
call that one of them, Elbert Hub
bard, was one of the most enthusi-
astic motion picture patrons in the
country. Mr.. Hubbard had two fads
he liked to indulge. When for any
reason he could not get home to his
meals, and especially when he was
On one OF his lecture tours, he patro-
nized dairy lunch rooms and whiled
away such spare time as he had In
motion picture theater.
One of the most interesting of his
Little Journeys" published IN The
Phiilistine," dealt with. the life and
work of Thompson, the proprietor of
a string of dairy lunch rooms in the
middle West. And some of the most
interesting things he has written
recently have dealt with the motion
pictures and their effect on the gem
eral public. As has been stated. he
was most enthusiastic on the subject
as will be easily understood from the
Following extract from an editorial
written by him shortly before he
started on the voyage that ended
with the sinking of the Lusitania:
II do not drink, nor smoke. nor
chew, but / spend ten cents or
quarter to see motion pictures at
every opportunity. The motion pic
lures cheer but they do not inebri-
ate. They lubricate the wheels of
existence, rest. refresh, stir the
imagination and they never give
you that dark brown taste the, day
after. ..... -.
For most Of the ills the human
race Is heir to, try the motion pic
simplicity. You slip in and out and
fads, and fussiness. You always get
your moneys worth.
Motion pictures are the greatest
educational factors of this day and
age. They show one-half of the
world how the other half lives and
Danish ignorance and superstition.
Through motion pictures We are
getting acquainted with the world
and the world Is being brought to
our doors. Our desire to know Is
satisfied because the motion pic
lures show us.
mo criticism can be brought
against the motion pictures that
cannot be brought with equal truth
against books. There are good books
and there are bad books and 1t is
exactly so with motion pictures.
Good people only wish to see the
truthful and worthy and as We grow
better we will have better motion
pictures. And !, for one. believe
the helpful and the true are coming
to the fore on the motion picture
screen" ., .-
