TWO VOLUMES MADE
BY THE PEOPLE
The Greatest Books of the Century.

Nothing like Heart Throbs" has ever
appeared before in any language 1t
was genuine inspiration that seized Joe
Mitchell ChappIe and led him to think
Of getting the real heart favorites in
literature of 5000 people and then put
ting those that had the majority vote
into book form. Others have selected
those things that appealed to their own
individual taste and published them in
a volume. But their personal idiosyncra-
ctes might or might not interest another
living soul. Heart Throbs," however
is collection made by thousands upon
thousands of people each sending in
some favorite bit OF verse or prose. and
when more than 5000 had been received,
selecting those that proved the most
popular, in other words that had ap-
pealed to the greatest number OF people
of our common country. This measured
popular taste by an infallible method
The result speaks for itself. These two
handsome volumes will go down in his
tory as, next to the Bible, the greatest
books ever published. They furnish more
pleasure, more instruction, more mirth
and laughter, more genuine heart inter
est than can be found elsewhere in the
wide world today. Our coupon published
in todays paper explains the nature Of
our presentation.

that was not only tensely exciting and
dramatic, but humorously grotesuue.

conversations reported on the tapped
telephone lines.
The mayor charged that during the
entire life OF the present city admins

FALSE "AD" BILL
REPORT PLEASES
Retail Merchants Association
Believes Passage Of Law
Will Help Members.
PROUD OF ACHIEVEMENT
Secretary Columbus and Chairman
Berberich Outline Benefits to Be
Derived from Measure.

The Senate yesterday ADOPTED the con-
ference report on the bill to prevent
fraudulent advertising in the District
The report already has been adopted by
the House and the bill now goes to the
President for his approval
Commenting on the virtual enactment
of the legislation, Charles J. Columbus
secretary of the Retail Merchants ALSO
ciation' last night said, in part:
The passage by the House and Senate
or the conference report of the Retail
Merchants Association false adver-
tising bill is the elimination of a year
long fight that has been made by this as
sociaIon for the enactment Of such law
1t is said to be the first time in the
history OF the country that an organiza-
ton composed exclusively OF merchants
alone sought legislation OF this character
Representative Ben Johnson, of Ken
lucky. framed the law. together with a
committee Of the Retail Merchants As

Andrews, NJ D. Rosenberg. general coun-
sci, and myself and Roger j. whiteford.
assistant corporation counsel OF the Dis
trict
MIR. Whtefords participation on the
advertising bill conference grew out of
his acceptance Of the invitation of the
in the preparation OF a bill covering fake
auctions. which is being handled before
Congress by the same committee.
THE enactment OF the false advertis-
ing bill into law is q matter OF great
qualification to the advertising vigilance
committee OF the Retail Merchants As
sociation Of which Joseph Berberich is
chairman. This movement originated in
the Retail Merchants Association and is
part OF its regular work. The COM
mittee is made up OF six merchant mem
bers Of the association. and at the direc-
tton Of the organization. forty-fve Of the
leading citizens OF Washington were in
vited to and accepted the invitation of
the Retail Merchants Association to
name delegates to this committee"
The passage OF the false advertising
law said Chairman Berberich, will in
my estimation prove one OF the greatest
blessings that could come to business
men and to the public at large. Its adop-
ton into law will prove a wonderful help
to the work OF our vigilance committee -

PATH SMOOTHED
OUT FOR HARDING
Opposition to His Election as
Chairman of G. o. P. Con-
vention Disappears.
BORAH AND LODGE OUT
IL n L
Neither of Potential Candidates, 1t Is
Declared, Will Make Bid for
Reigns at Chicago.

1t was learned here yesterday that the
danger Of a bitter struggle over the
election Of a permanent chairman Of the
Republican convention to be held in
Chicago in June, has been averted. There
Is authority for the statement that the
plan Of PrOSressives to oppose the cleo
ton Of Senator Harding, of Ohio, as per-
manent chairman, has been abandoned.
The plans Of those who threatened to
oppose Senator Harding contemplated
the election Of either Senator Borah or
Lodge as permanent chairman. A de-
ctsion was reached yesterday that neither
senator should be a candidate for the
post. 1t is the general expectation that
Mr.. Lodge will put Senator Weeks in
nomination as a Presidential candidate
and that he also will act as chairman of
the committee on resolutions which will
frame the platform.
Senator BOrah will be on the floor of
the convention to see to It, so far as
possible, that the platform is progress
sive in tone and definite as to certain
issues as to "Americanism" that will be
emphasized in the instrument.
1t became known for a certainty yes
terday that former President Roosevelt
has no present intention Of visiting Chi
caso during the convention. While the
convention is in session he will make his
headquarters at Oyster Bay.

Basil Miles Says There Is Plenty of
Room for District
Men.

There have been a number of false
Tumors that the Plattsburg Camps were
already full and that further applica-
uons could not be received, said Basil
Miles, who. in his office in the Rigs
Building, is receiving applications for
the camps, from the men of the District
This is not true. There is no known
purpose to limit the enrOllments for any
one OF the five camps which will be he'd
at Plattsburg between June and October.
Mr.. Miles stated that while only
twenty men from the District attended
the camp last year. lis have already en-
rolled for this summer, and applications
are still coming in.
From general inquiries and estimates
Dased on the experiences OF those who
attended last year, it should cost a man
from the District about So to spend a
month in camp including his transporta-
tOn and other expenses.
Already more than 10000 men have en-
rolled for the Plattsburg and OgIethorpe
camps. and it is expected that the final
total Will reach 5000, with an ad-
ditiOnal 5000 in a score of other small
