Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
Sl.OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy. IS
easily applied and costs little. Get it
today and save all further distress.

HEARTS OF THE WORLD"
A MASTERFUL PLAY DRAMA

"The master production OF the
master producer" is the truthful de
Scription used with David Wark
Grifith's wonderful "IIeartS Of the
World' which opened Yesterday al
ternoon at the Palace Theatre. With
such achievements as "Intolerancc'
and The Birth OF a Nation TO his
credit, the public expected great
things OF the performance last night
and found greater things
The principal reason for the fact
that Hearts OF the w orld' is great
er than either OF the other two
great Griffith films lies in the sub
iect matter, "lntolerance' was lit
Il more than an allegorical presen-
tation of mans inhumanity TO man
as eXcmpliticd in the events Of hiss
tory. The Birth OF a Nation dealt
with one phase OF the history of one
section OF a nation--a section which,
with the characteristics of that
period, is gone. But thc "Hearts OF
the World presents the events OF
today, the most amazing period in
the history of the world, and its ac-
tion is performed by those who are
making this history.
The story shows, with a realism
that is startling, the developments in
the hearts and characters of a pco-
pie visited by war, and their BRAY
cry, helpiulnes. patience and kiudli-
ness to each other, when their land,
the most beautiful in the world, is
overrun and ravagcd by an army OF
invading barhariaus.
A Notable Cast
Lillian Gish and Robert lIarron,
who have demonstrated their ability
bcfore-rccently, in The Great
Love-" have been chosen again by
the master for his mastcr-produc-
ton. They are, as ever, delightful,
and their work does much to make
the production the marvel that it is.
The engagement OF "Hearts OF the
World' will continue for two days
more. in order to allow all an op-
portunity to see it. And, judging
by impressions made last night, and
by previous happenings, there are
many who will return for another
glimpse of the remarkable film.

Billy was in bade shape-physically.
He leaned over to the reporters in
the press box. just after his sermon.
and declared that he had suffered
more pain during his talk than during
any previous sermon in his career.
The affection is in the evangelist s
throat and is the result of a bad cold
contracted at Camp Meigs last Sum
day night Despite the pain, Billy de-
clared he is glad he caught" it the
way he did and that he'd be glad
to do 1t again." Frequently, during
his sermon, Billy would be inter-
rupted by coughing. He would pause
for second, ask the audience to
please help me" and then drift back
to his talk.

Order Criticised by Solons
Comments the action of the administration among members of
the Defense Council business and members of Congress varied
the way from CONSERVATION approval.

Julius RosenwaId, of the Council
of National Defense, said that the ac-
ton of the Fuel Administrator was
drastic, but that he thought the peo-
pie would comply as a matter of
patriotism and war necessity.
II take 1t for granted" he said,
that if it is so orderedl that it will
be followed by the people because they
want to do what is proper to win the
war. -.
"of course, IL it specifies that in
dustries must shut down for the five
days, it means that some people are
going to be out of work for the five
days. but of course they might be
out of work for the same time for
other reasons.
"Of course it will be a serious thing
to many of the manufacturers be-
cause their orders viii be pilins up

senator Pomerene, Of Ohio said:

Incidentally, it was the largest
number of trail hitters" that has
come forward on an initial invita-
ton night in any city of Washing
toms size where the evangelist has
campaigned. From now until the
close of the revival the trail hit
ting" invitation will be issued by the
evangelist at each of the evening
services and at the Sunday after
noon meetings for men. Once, in
Atlanta, Billy issued the invita-
tion" at a weekday afternoon ses-
sion. That was on Mothers Day"
at the Tabernacle. 1t may be re-
peated here.
1t was washington's first sight of
Sunday trail hitting and there
weren't a dozen persons in the big
audience who left the Tabernacle,
after the close of the sermon, so
intent were they on witnessing this
particularly impressive and spec
tacular feature of a Sunday evan
gelistic campaign. The Invitation"
comes always after the sermon. The

EDITORIAL COMMENT

NEW YORK WORLD: THE coal or
der issued by Fuel Administrator
Garfield last night Is the greatest
disaster that has befallen the
United States in this war.
Unless il is revoked forthwith by
President Wilson il means loss. of
hundreds of millions of dollars in
wages and in products and a de-
moralization of industry that can
be nothing short Of calamitous.
And this apart from the actual suf-
fering that must ensue among great
armies of wage-earners who depend
upon their days wages for their
daily bread and who are arbitra-
rily condemned to idleless by the
fiat of a Federal bureaucrat.

U.S.LABOR MAY
MAKE APPEAL
TOSTOP WAR
Administration Said to Fa.
vor Endorsement of
British Unions.

Action by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, indorsing the appeal
Of the British labor unions to the
masses in Germany, would not be
unwelcome to the American gov
ernment, according to intimations
last night in high official quarters.
Pending any suggestion from
President Wilson along this line,
however. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the Federation, indicated
last night that he would stand nv
previous utterances of the oreani-
zation expressing sympathy with
the efforts of British labor in be-
half of a democratic peace.
In official and diplomatic quar-
ters in Washington, the manifesto
of the British unions is regarded as
one OF the most significant deyel-
opments in connection with the
war.
Liberal Policy of q. 8.
Ever since the United States en-
tered the war, 1t has been the aim
and purpose of President Wilson to
establish the aims of Germany's
enemies firmly on the basis Of lib
eralism. That organized labor in
Great Britain has accepted the
basis of peace laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson in its broader aspects
Is regarded as convincing evidence
Of the extent to which the head OF
the American government has
swung the people of the allied ma
tions behind him.
Semi-official advices received
here are to the effect that the mani
festo. radical as some of its con-
cessions appeared, was issued with
the full approval of the LLOYD
George ministry, and indicates a
closer understanding between the
laborites in England and their gov
ernment than has ever existed.
