Nothing But Honor and
Regard for the Future
Of Country to Lose

Washington. April 4.-Referriug
to Senator La Follctte's statement
that the United States has nothing
to lose. no matter which side wins
the war, Senator Williams said.
in his speech in the Senate today:
Lets see. Have we no honor.
no regard for the future SOW
ereignty of our country. no regard
for our flag? IL sentiment rot. is
patriotism rot, is there nothing
precious except money?
Pm getting tired of this talk
that this is a Wall Street war.
Tha''s a lie. Wall Street did not
sink the Lusitania, the Arabic,
the Sussex and these other ships
I'm tired of lies like that. AID |
think it is the duty Of the Amerl-
can Congress and people to brand
them as lies"

POOL HALL ORDINANCE
HANGS IN THE BALANCE
Judge Breckenridge Takes Un-
der Amusement Injunction
Against City.

Another of the city's new ordi-
nan,es hangs In the balance of Judge
NJ. A. Breckinridge's opinion as a
result of hearing an injunction pro-
ceedings instituted by pool hall own
ers OF the city which was in progress
in superior court all day yesterday.
Judge Breckinride has taken the mat
ter under advisement.
The injunction is asked by con-
tingent OF pool hall men headed by
J. V. Connor and is directed to pre-
vent the city from inforcing a recent
ordnance which provides that no
other business shall be conducted
within the confines of a pool hall.
Argument of attorneys as to the
constitutionality of the statute took
up the entire morning and most of
the afternoon yesterday The pool
hall men claim that the city's action
is an infringement on their personal
liberty, depriving them of profitable
and lawful sidelines, such as soda
fountains and lunch counters.
II Is expected that Judge Breckin-
ridges edict will be forthcoming in
the neNt day or two.

Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon Juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here Is told how to prepare an in
expensive lemon' lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi-
tions. Wind -chafe, roughness. tan
and redness are warded off and those
tell-tale lines OF care or Of age are
softened away.
The Juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams,
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice thru fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets In, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles. sallowness and tan, and
is the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try 1t! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly
fragrant lemon lotion and massage II
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. and sec for yourself.-Adv.

WASHINGTC y, July IS. - With
drawing of lots for the selective draft
my awaiting only completion OF

cials here are anxious that registrants
take every opportunity between now
and the day Of drawing to inform
themselves thoroly regarding eXemp-
tion regulations so as to reduce to Il
minimum the confusion to be cleared
up after designations are made.
To this end attention was directed
today to various sections of the regu

arisen and 1t was suggested that the
local boards and the press cooperate
during the week or so remaining be-
fore lots are drawn to insure that the
registered men know just how to per-
form their part in the great task of
examination and exemption.
Dra' ying Probably saturday.
Only eleven states tonight had
not reported their organizations com

out the country are ready for the
drawing and when the governors of
the missing states telegraph that all
the boards in their jurisdiction have
filed their lists, the drawing date will
he set Officials think II will not be

Officials here are anxious that local
boards make it clear everywhere that
no question Of exemption of any reg

physical disability or dependent rela-
tives can be taken up before the To-
cal boards. The whole matter of In

proved Gibson's claim and turned it
over to him for collection. Further
threatening all manner of legal ac-
tion, Gibson left the meeting pre-
sumably to confer with attorneys as
to how much OF his threats could be
made to transpire.
II became known during the dis
cusson that the claim of the Canton
Bridge company had been thoroly in
vestigated by S. w. Mitchell. former
county engineer. and was passed bv
the regular procedure. Gibson's bill.
on the other hand. was made up on
the spur of the moment and con-

proved the claim and shifted the bur
den of responsibility to the county

tion of the time being taken up with

ton was then passed authorizing n
contractor to complete the work on
