LEAGUE DID NOT
ASK PRESIDENT
TO ACCEPT PLAN
Officials Say It Would Have
Have Been UnWiSe for Head
of Nation to Commit
Himself in Advo15e.

New York, Dec. l9,-In eXplana-
ton of President Wilson's denial in
Paris that he had ever directly or
indirectly Endorsed plan iornu-
lated by the League to Enforce
Peace, the following official state
ment was issued here today by the
national headquarters OF that or
ganizatlOn:
"President Wilson's statement ca
bled from Paris that he never in
dorsed the particular plan Of tho
League to Enforce Peace needs no
confederation. The league never
sought any such Endorsement
at must be plain to everyone that
it would have been unwise and UNI
diplomatic for the head of the nation
to commit himself to any specific
plan for all international settlement
before the peace conference meets,
The League to Enforce Peace would
have been the last to urge the presi-
dent to hamper our peace delegates
by premature Endorsement of our
platform or anv other"

TO be possessed of a head of
heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous,
fluffy, wavy and free from dan
hruff is merely a matter of using
little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-it costs but a few
cents-all drug stores recommend
it-apply a little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an
appearance Of abundance, fresh
ness, fluffiness ard an incompar-
able gloss and lustre. and try as you
will you can not find trace of
dandruff or falling hair; but your
real surprise will be after about
two weeks use, when you will see
new hair-fine and downy at first
yes - but really new hair
sprouting out all over your scalp
Danderine is, we believe. the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and
it never fails to stop falling hair at
once.
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
a cloth with a little Danderinc and
carefully draw it through your hair
taking one small strand at a time.
Your hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just a few Moments
delightful surprise awaits everyone
who tries this.-Adv.

 She opened up by an assurance that she simply couldn't stay one minute, she only wanted to know, etc, etc.
 On this ground she refused a chair but was finally persuaded to take one though she sat charity on the edge, evidently to save time.
 On the same grounds she refused to permit her urgent hostess to de- prive her of her hat or coat, or even to loosen the latter.
 And she stayed an hour and a quarter.
 Even as you and ]!
 Or don't you have the T can't stay a moment" habit?
 I know so many people who do, and have caught myself at that trick so often, that I put it thus broadly.
 A Quality of Unrest.
 Of course it isn't q, harmful habit, but it is a silly one. For yourself perhaps, the moments that you steal from some duty have the sweetness of all stolen things; but your attitude of lowering ever on the verge of flight gives such a quality of imper- manence and unrest to the atmos- phere, that it might be kinder to your hostess, and any other guests, if you kept the fact that you were stealing, to yourself.
 A twin habit is that of indefinitely prolonged leave takings.

Helis Hinges Is a town in Nevada so designated on account of it's tough reputation, with Hart as Blaze Tracey" the bad man. of the burg" There were a few God-fearing people in the town, very few, and to minister to this minority came young eastern clergy man and his sister Faith Silk Miller, boss of the saloon and dance hall. delegates Blaze to block the mission ary's work and the latter is eager for the task until he sees Faith. He de- termines that her brother shall have 8. fair chance. A new church is built and the congregation assemblies for the first service, while down at the saloon a, gang organizes under Silk to break up the meeting. Before they accomplish their purpose Blaze strides in, routs the 1awless at the point of his guns, and remains for the sermon. From then on Hells Hinges is a con- tinual battle between the two forces. and the risks taken by the players are said to have been greater than in any play ever offered to the public
 Harold Lockwood plays one of his most popular roles in Broadway Bill". He portrays a young man of great wealth who spends his time in dissipation and frivo1ity. His pals call him "Broadway Bill" His sweetheart, Murial Latham, takes him to task for his foolish actions, and Bill, realizing that unless he mends his ways he can never hope to win her, determines to reform and prove his worth He goes to lumber camp in Maine and obtains work in a lum-

 With Kisses Or Haste.
 Tn 3. clever little essay in one of the current magazines on the Zine Art of Going Away the essayist lays down the amusing law: TWO per sons who do not part with kisses should part with haste
 It is surely more reposeful to make less bother about ones comings and goings; to know. when one comes in, whether he is going to stay or not; and to loosen ones coat and accept a chair without the fuss and feathers of protestation; and, having stayed ones time, to say goodbye and go.
 Know There Is Usually An
 And Yet
 And yet,--how often there is "yet' in these concentrations one makes so glibly,--is there not an ac- ceptable tribute, a flavor of sincere fattery, in the fact that the friend who can only stop a moment finds herself willy-nilly staying an hour? And is it not too often true that the best of the talk flashes forth in those moments of reluctant leave taking?
 The people who do things in a quiet and reasonable way have their place in our lives; but the cratic, amusing, uncertain people have theirs, too. For myself I would not part with either.

latIon In already greatly dissatisfied
and she did not attempt her last
drive at Italy until virtually forced
Ia do so by her greater ally. Ger
mnay required thatSshe should make
n demonstration to cover up tho re-
cess on tho western front and 10
show that she still meant to stick
by the central entente The dismal
failure Of that demonstration can
do no sess than cause gloom both in
Vienna and Rerlin II must he ex-
pected that II wifi emphasize ~hc
difficulties already acute In Aus
tria's Internal affairs.
But we will do well not To pay
too much attention TO Austria's des-
perate condition. These things have
been going on for several years
Some day they will come to a show
down, but wheu7 Should We be in
clinod to base our hope Of victory
on Austrian disaster. II will be well
20 remember several thlngs One
Is that Germany will risk much to
prevent her ally's collapse, even at
the risk of weakening the army In
Flanders Another is that these re.
ports OF internal distress could have
been easily suppressed had not Ger
many and Austria chosen to let
them get out In the hope that the
allies would become overconfldent
and leave some loophole open for
the central empires to gain an ad-
vantage
Only two things threaten the allied
cause today. one is too much pes
simlsm and the other too much opti'
mism, We must be neither dis
couraged nor overconfident. We
must not be caught mapping. Even
should Austria drop out OF the strug-
gle. Germany could and probably
would put up n serious fight for
months or years to come. Our chief
concern should be to see that MOTH
ing turns away our attention from
tho main job Of putting the kaiser
and his system out OF business for
good We rejoice In 1taly's vnlor
and success but we must not make
the mistake Of thinking tho war Is
ended when Austria is disabled.
