tinental Memorial Hall at 8 o'clock
the evening of November p.
Former President Taft, Commits
sioner W. Gwynn Gardiner. Hugh

In announcing the meeting the
council states that the government is
most desirous that the public save
linen and cotton rags for the manu-
facture of paper. Metals. rubber and
wool also are desired.
These articles, it is declared, can
be put to good use by turning them

in placing the express business spe-

administration will remove doubt as

Would Indicate Resources.

There is a possibility that CONNER
cial organizations in the south, the
north and the west will recognize
this opportunity to establish in Wash
ington exhibits which will enable the
thousands of tourists who come here
every year to become acquainted with
the resources of the United States.
The exhibit, which has again sug-
gested the possibility of making
Washington a center for industrial
and agricultural collections. has been
jointly by dozen big machine COM
panies of various sections Of the
country.
1t includes many labor-saving de-
vices which American engineers have
designed for use in the construction
of railways, highways, bridges, build
ings, water supply and sewerage
systems and similar projects. The ex-
hibit also includes machinery of in
terest to men engaged in the produc-
ton and handling of minerals, coal
and sand.
The exhibit room on New York ave-
nue. was opened originally for the
benefit of Army and Navy engineers
in the prosecution of the war, but the
managers of the display were quick
to realize the advisability of retain
ing the collection here during the
period of reconstruction.
On the day following the inaugura-
ton of President Wilson in March.
1917, a number of state governors,
who were in Washington, met at the
Powhatan Hotel with local business
men and heartily indorsed the pro-
posal to set up in the National Capt.
tai permanent exhibits of the re-
sources and industries of the states.

CAPITAL AS EXHIBIT
PLACE RECOGNIZED
Action by One Firm Revives
Project for Permanent
State Representation.
SHOW WINDOW OF NATION

Washington, for the first time, has
been recognized by American business
men as logical place to exhibit the
products Of the nation.
This first recognition of the National
Capital as a center for the display of
the country's resources comes from the
Allied Construction Machinery Corpora
ton, with headquarters at 120 Broad
way, New York city.
During Reconstruction.
The joint cooperative export sales
department of this corporation has an
nounced that it will continue to operate
during the reconstruction period the in
Gustrial machinery exhibit which it es-
tablished on New York avenue between
18th and 14th streets when the United
States entered the war.
Announcement of this action recalled
to local business men the movement
which was gaining momentum early last
year to have each of the forty-eight
states of the Union establish a perma-
! nent exhibit in the National Capital
Advocated by George Washington and
discussed from time to time for more
than a century, the movement had just
begun to take definite shape in March,
1917, just before war was declared, but
the project was laid aside while the ma
tion turned it's whole attention toward
defeating Germany.

In Effect Tomorrow.

The complete government control be-
comes effective at noon tomorrow. and
the action is taken under war powers
vested in the President.

tween the railroad administration and

pany, which was formed by a con-
soiidation of the Adams, American,
Wells Fargo and Southern companies.

pany, however. under the contract al

Lost in the Shuttle.

The American State Exposition was
formed, to be composed of a delegate
from each state, one from the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the
Southern Commercial Congress and
the local civic bodies. A month later,
however, the United States went into
the war and the state exhibit project
was lost in the shuttle of war prep
aration.
At the meeting in March. 1917. Com
missioner Louis Brownlow, in well
coming the governors, pointed out to
them that their respective states
would derive bigger benefits from a
permanent exhibit in Washington than
they ever derived from temporary un-
dertakings at world fairs.
Members of the Washington trade
bodies who were instrumental in
launching the movement last year are
confident that as soon as the country
begins to- settle back to a peace basis
the states will renew interest in the
permanent exhibit plan.
Two plans for carrying out the
project were being considered when
the war began. One was to have each
state erect it's own exhibit building on
ground to be donated by the federal
government. The other, which was
regarded as more feasible, was to
contributions from all the states-a
building which would be fitting for
an exhibit of the resources of the
United States.
1t is probable that the local trade
bodies will. in the near future, seek
Ito revive the association which was
organized to work for the project.

During Reconstruction.
Temporary Buildings Suggested.

One business man suggested the pos
sibility of making available for such
exhibits Of the nations resources some
of the temporary buildings which the
government erected for war work and
which may not be needed by the gov
ernment during the reconstruction Pc
riod.
The war brought to Washington COM
mercial men of all the allied, nations,
and indications are that these men will
be even more in evidence in the United
States now than they were during the
war, arranging to secure the vast
amounts of raw materials and finished
products which will be needed to re-
build Europe.
These foreign trade representatives,
it was pointed out, will not fail to visit
the Capital city of America, and this
fact, business men believe, will make
Washington an advantageous show win
dow for the products of the country's 8
industries.

White Cooperation at
OermOtt.

1t is very seldom that our annual
meetings get anything less than a
hearty welcome from white citizens, in
business and in authority. We had
that and more than that in Dermott
when the State Sunday School Conven-
ton and Women's Association met
there in June. The delegates had the
freedom of the streets and all that
could be expected for them in the way
of business courtesies, municipal pro-
lection and kindly treatment.
1t happened the latter part of the
week that automobiles gathered around
the tent in excessive numbers; the
remedy was to shut them off from the
tent by having them come so near and
no nearer. Finally two streets were
closed against the automobiles and
other vehicles by city authority, that
the peace of the convention might not
be disturbed. Furthermore. the neat.
clean and spacious tent under which
the meeting were held. as well as the
first class electric light service. were
all paid for by the white citizens of
Dermott.
We are sure the fellows who did not
want to go to Dermott last year would
be glad to go back to Dermott next
year. We are also sure of another
thing: the white people of Little Rock
and North Little Rock can hardly beat
the white people of Dermott next year

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For O good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series Of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And II Is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was n
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it In every
way. just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burnley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistcned it to replace the
natural moisture driven of by toasting,
made 1t into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE. the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length Of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example. ADV.
