SECOND PROVISION
The second follows

THAT whenever during the existence
is not engaged the President shall be
satisfied that there is reasonable
ground to believe that under the laws,
regulations or practice of nations, the
Importation into their own or any 9TH
err country, dependency, or colony OF
any article the product of the soil or
industry of the United States and not
injurious to health or morals is pre-
vented or restricted the President is
authorized and empowered to prohibit
or restrict during the period such pro-
hibition or restriction is in force, the
import ation into the United States of
similar or other articles, products OF
such country, dependency or colony as
in his opinion that public interest may
require; and in such case he shall make
proclamation stating the article or
articles which are prohibited from i'm
portation into the United States, and
any person or persons who shall i'm
port or attempt to conspire to import
or be concerned in importing such ar
ticle or articles in the United States
contrary to the prohibition in such
proclamation shall be liable to a fine of
not less than $4,000, nor more than
$4,000, or to Imprisonment not to ex-
coed two years, or both, in the discre-
ton of the court. The President may
change, modify revoke or renew such
proclamation in his discretion; and the
Senate agree to the same"
FINAL RETALIATION
The final retaliation measure based on
the same war conditions would give the
President authority to withhold clearance
to vessels of a belligerent nation, "mak-
ing or giving any undue or unreasonable
preference or. advantage in any respect
whatsoever to any particular person,
company firm or corporation, or any
particular description of traffic in the
United States to any citizen of the
United States residing in neutral coun-
tries abroad or is subjecting any par
ticular person, company, firm or corpora
ton or any particular description of traf-
fic in the United States or it's possess
sions, or any citizen of the United States
residing in neutral countries abroad to
any undue or unreasonable prejudice dis
advantage, injury or discrimination in
regard to accepting, receiving, transport
ing or delivering, or refusing to accept,
receive. transfer or deliver any cargo,
freight or passengers, or in any other
respect. whatsoever, he is hereby au-
thorized and empowered to direct the de-
tention of such vessels by Withholding
clearance or by formal notice forbiddins
departure, and to revoke modify or re-
new any such direction"
1t also would give authority to the
President to deny American facilities of
commerce to citizens in the United States
of offending beligerent nation and
would authorize him to use the land and
force the retaliatory provisions.

Corrupt Practice Act

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
There seems to be general impression
that the provisions of the corrupt practice
act one Of the elections law enacted by
the last legislature, applies to primaries
but not to general elections. 1t Will prob
ably be a good idea to call attention to
the fact that this impression Is erron-
eous. The act both in reference to an
nouncing candidacy and filing statements
of receipts and disbursements applies to
all elections. Very truly yours

INDUSTRY MOVES TO
TUNE OF ACTIVITY
Bradstreet Says Confidence
in Future Marked by
Animated Buying

New York, September s.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Elimination of the railway strike, for
the time being, at least very high prices
for cereals. extraordinary quotations for
cotton and record high wages. make up
q quartette of remarkable features upon
which trade conditions center. With the
railway strike out of the way business
interests breathe more freely, the con-
Germ and feverish spot buying incident to
the embargoes Of last week have been
superseded by optimism and business as
well as industry moves along to the tune
of smart activity. Confidence in the fu-
ture is marked by animated buying for
fall and winter delivery, with, however.
some diminution in the hurried ordering
so noteworthy last week, when thoughts
Of the railway strike were uppermost, and
at the same time there has been some
shading of prices that were speculatvely
bolstered last week. Nevertheless, prices
on the whole continue high and even in
sections supposedly most afflicted by re-
duced yields of wheat, extraordinary quo
tations with good yields of other crops
cause trade trends to work upward on
the theory that incomes will be sufficient
to keep things moving.

I felt as if I could not bear to answer him, even to raise my eyes to meet his. I do not know how long the intense silence would have continued Just as I felt that could not bear the situation any longer Lillian Under wood came into the room, bringing with her, as she always does, an at- mosphere of cheerful sanity.

 "But Dicky; there is no one with Dicky,' I said, struggling feebly in an attempt to go back up the stairs again.
 Don't be childish, Madge" The words, the tone, were impatient, the first I had ever heard from Lillian toward me. But I mentally acknow- ledged their justice and braced n.y. self to be more sensible.
 "Dicky is absolutely all right" Lillian went on. ''He probably will sleep for hours, now that he has seen you and his mind is at rest. Besides, Just as soon as you are resting com fortably, I will go back to him. have had Betty fix up cot for Katie just outside your bedroom door. Then if you need anything she can get it for you.'

The Logical Mind

The mother had been laboriously ex- plaining something to her little boy instead of putting off his twhy' with a "because" as busy mothers are so apt to do.
 You certainly have more patience than I would," said the neighbor.
 NO, I am ot patient" said the mother, but do not want to train my boy to have a logical mind I want him to ask why, and I always try to answer him carefully, though I ad- init I get terriby tired sometimes"
 What do you think about it, reader friends Is hers a worthwhile arn- bition?
 Personally I can scarcely imagine @ more worthy one.
 A logical mind is one of the most precious possessions one can have A Logical Mind Better Than Good
 Memory.
 A good memory is blessing but a logical mind is ten times more val uable.
 Memory deals only with the past a logical mind deals also with the pres ent and the future in their relation to the past.
 A memory deals with fact, but a log 1ca1 mind deals with big truths be- hind these facts.
 The logical mind is never the narrow mind. Prejudices have no place in it. It is the open mind. Since the thing it continually seeks after is the truth it cannot afford to shut itself up and keep ruth out.

THE GLOBE TROTTERS
 ON GRAND PROGRAM

Many theatergoers who have hith- erto cared nothing for burlesque are attracted to the Grand theater Hart ford, to see ''The Million Dollar Dolls' with Lew Hilton. Those who have seen the show, which is at the Grand for the balance of the week, agree that the critics were right when they said '"The Million Dollar Dolls' Is one of the best burlesque shows ever seen anywhere. There is @ snappy line of music, the dances are put on with a vim and the chorus leaves little to be desired for grace and beauty. Besides Hilton, Slim KeIlan is fur nishing much of the genuine comedy work, and Alice Lazar, the good looking prima donna, is a capable woman for this work. Grace Sey- mour is doing clever stunts as the soubrette, her song, "In the Movies,"
 being particularly catchy. Savo, the juggler, Is doing his part we'll this week, and Bob Ferns in the black face part demonstrates unusual abl- lty. Next week the Grand presents the "Blutch" Cooper production, The

HULDA FROM HOLLAND
 IS FOX'S FEATURE

NO story was ever more interesting than "Hulda From Holland" featur- ing and written especially for Mary P1ckfOrd which will be the attraction 1 at Fox's today and tomorrow. The &C.,
 ton opens in picturesque Holland and shirts to New York, when, on the in- VltatlOn of her Uncle, a typical Penn
 sylvan1a Dutchman, Hulda brings her
 three little brothers to the land of
 opportunity, Although there is a great
 deal of tender appeal in Miss Pick
 lords little Dutch girl, there is very
 much that is comica1 in her inter-
 pretation of the role and there" are
 many delightful little episodes in
 which the three adorable children are
 seen with the star, that will un-
 doubtedly make the production rank
 as one of Miss Pickford's greatest con-
 trlbut1ons to motion picture humor.
 In addition to the Pickford feature
 the Triangle plays will present their
 great star Bessie Barriscale in ''The favment This feature deals with the career of Phyllis Page, the am- o1tlous daughter of small-town mill worker, and aims it's blow at the dis loyalty of married men who bargain with strugglish girls.
