Address Of Bishop HOss

Atlanta, Ca, May 2.-The Episcopal
address to the eighteenth general
conference at the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was read by Bishop
Collins Denny, Of Richmond, Va, at
the opening session Of the conference
here today. The address which was
written by Bishop E. r. Hoss, and
confirmed by all the bishops, was one
of the lengthiest ever delivered to the
general conference, reviewing the
work of the church during the past
four years and making recommenda-
tions for the future.
Commendation of the action OF
President Wilson before and after the
declaration of war against Germany
was expressed by the bishops, who
declared 1--WE should be less than pa
triotic and courageous Americans IL

port In every way

tion of property and the loss Of life

see. for an early peace. But we feel
entirely justified in saying that our

London, May 2.-Germans have es-
tablished military rule in Kiev,
the Ukrainian capital and have ar

"The impartial verdict of history,
which in the long run is always
right, can hardly fail to approve the
course which he has pursued.
"At this particular juncture, when
so much depends on the harmonious
and united action Of all American
citizens, we protest against the utter
ance Of any word that would either
weaken his hands or give the slight
est encouragement or comfort to our
national enemies.
while we, OF course, long and
pray for peace, yet we trust when Il
comes It will be a peace full Of JUS
tice and Righteousness. It will he bet
ter to fight on and suffer on than to
capitulate to a despotism whose meth
DDS recall the worst chapters of
heather barbarity."
The bsnops strongly oppose the
movement to restrict the areas OF the
bishops, so that while they are un-
limited as to the presidency Of annual
conferences throughout the whole
connection they must reside in GER
tain districts for a limited time and
he responsible for the development Of
church work in the district and re-
port quadrennially to the general con-
ference. The address says in this con-
nection that '-any scheme for limiting
their field or Jurisdiction would be
sure to diminish the esteem in which
they are held by the general public
and by the church"
i The address touched on a very live
question when IL scored the board OF
missions for beginning to recast the
boundaries of the work in Mexico be-
fore the meeting Of the general con-
ference. The address declared: '"The
college of bishops who had not been
consulted in any initial stage Of the
proceedings, saw at the first glance
that the plan proposed involved the
complete dismemberment Of our work
fl Mexico and on that ground, as well
as for other lessons entered an earn
est protest against It," For this, It was
said the bishops have been charged
with "autocratic assumption OF an
authority which we did not possess
but the fact is we only insisted on
obedience to the action of the general
conference"
Election of five bishops was recon-
mended in the address.
Concerning the question Of unif1ca
ton of American Methodism the bish
cps address declared report would

ence to confer with a like commits

Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. Q
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water, and rub it Tn. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily removing every particle of dust, dirt dandruff. and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get nulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the tamily for months.

A beautiful girl kidnaps her aunt to cake her in search of the "Pink ger anium" that belongs in her life. First arrested for speeding, then caught in D fierce storm, they have an eventful trip. Sallie Commanders an empty house in the absence of the owner to escape the storm. Two strange men also appear. One of them a paper paper in his pocket telling of the rob bery of Aunt Martha's house. The other wear ring with Aunt Martha's family crest; they had already proven experts at Jock picking. Youth and propinquity bring the usual results, but the knowledge of the profession of the two men casts a cloud, over the situation. Then comes the final evi dence-the discovery of an old family locket, which had been part of the burglars booty, in the pocket of the young stranger But to make it even worse there comes the strange woman who offectionately embraces the young burglar.
 Sallie and Aunt Martha turn back from their search for the pink eeran- ium to go back home with breaking hearts.
 And then comes the astonishing eli max-one that catches audience un- aWares.
 It al happens in Up the Road with Sallie at the Orpheo theatre today, and it shows delightful Constance Talmadge at her best.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruf completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon i; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how mucl, dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.
