Study Plan for Nationwide
Evangelistic Campaign
Rot" of Trotzky Crowd to Be
Swept Aside by Chris
tianized America,

College Camp, Williams Bay, Wis,
Sept. 4.-Delegates to the conference
of the Presbyterian New Era move
ment today considered plans for n
nationwide evangelistic campaign
after listening to addresses.
Rev. Joseph III. Vance. of Detroit,
Mich. said that to Christianize Amer
lea was the mission of the church.
He said that all the rot" of the
"Trotzky and Lenine crowd" would
soon be swept aside; that their doc
trine was all bluff: that soon their
rule of loot would end and the people
would be following the cross of
Christ.
DR.. Vance said that Christianity
could only conquer the world through
unified church. He said the aver
age church did not have its whole
membership sufficiently active.
"1f twenty-five people out Of the
1900 to 1,S0O in my Detroit church
were to be taken away by death"
he said. ut would leave me fat on
my back"
Urged 100 Fer Cent. Efficiency.
He urged unified church and that
each congregation strive to become
100 per cent. efficient.
'1f your automobile" he told his
fellow ministers, had so many use
less parts in 1t as your average
church you could not run 1t down.
hill" He said the church had in u
large measure lost it's sense of spir-
itual life and was not living up to
its mission to spread the Gospel
among the people Soutside the church.
DR.. w. H. Foulkes, general secre-
tary, reported that the Presbyterian
church would act officially late in
September on the project Of alliance
with other denominations through the
interchurch world movement.
The delegates vigorously applauded
the sentiment that church co-opera-
ton was essential If the church was
to capitalize its spiritual assets for
the evangelizing of the nation.
Message to Wilson.
The conference today forwarded to
President Wilson the following me-
mortal adopted by unanimous vote:
''Presiden Woodrow Wilson, White
House:
1.-The New Era conference of the
Presbyterian church, in session at
Lake Geneva, Is greatly chcered by
your sympathetic message presented
by Rev. William Hiram Foulkes.
Your assurance that the New Era
movement, pledged in your own apt
phrase, to purposes of service and en-
lightenment, is upon our heart, given
to every one of our 10000 churches
and pastors new enthusiasm for its
goal and more determination for their
achievement. The conference begs to
assure You of its prayer for your
divine guidance in meeting, at His
time the complex problems Of world
peace and industrial unrest In our
land. To these ends the conference
desires also to cooperate with you
in every practical way"

Overseas Woman War Worker
Candidate for New York Assembly

New York, Sept. ARRIVING In
New York last week after more than
a year overseas service with the Brit
ish military hospitals, Marion Dicker-
man, of Oswego county, found her
self candidate for the state as
sembly In the fall elections. She
found, moreover, that he adversary
was no second-rate politician. The
democrats have brought Miss Dicker-
man out against no less an office
holder than Thaddeus c. Sweet,
speaker of the assembly.
1.-THE first l knew of my candi-
dacy," said Miss Dickerman last week
at the Womens University club, was
when my brother came to the boat
to meet me. thought at first he was

the more interested I became, and

convinced that 1 can do some con-
structive work in the assembly, and
1 want to try my hand. My campaign
will be a pro-Dickerman.' not an
'anti-Sweet,' campaign"
Duties Of Women officeholders.
MISS Dlckerman is tail, dark
eyed, quiet person. Just home from
war service, she wears a grayish uni
form with the jaunty lines which all
the English uniforms seem to have.
The pocket bears overseas service
ribbons. The little round collar and
other trimmings are of horizon blue.
Miss Dickerman Is very serious-eyed,
whether over her new campaign
ahead or over the very SOLDERING work
she has been doing In England 1t Is
impossible to say. Her training, heri-
tage and sincerity point TO political
success. The only feature that would
give one pause as to her prospective
success as a politician Is the serious
ness of her eyes.

cisive, and at once" said Miss Dick
erman; $50 far they have not stood
out as women voters in New York.
I believe that women should run for
Office where they are qualified and
should show by their work that their

some other women. Her grandfather
was United States senator from Con-
necticut at the time of Henry Clay.
Her father was the late Il. II. Dlcker-
man, a well known lawyer upstate.
Once Suffrage Worker.
Miss Dickernlan herself has been
active in organization work In Os-
wego. For the last six years, during
her residence in Fulton, she has
taught history and civics in the high
school. after being graduated from
Syracuse university with the degrees
of A. b., A. NJ. and Phi. b. She
worked in two suffrage campaigns,
organized the Junior Red Cross for
her county; was vice chairman of
the executive committee of the Red
Cross and of the Oswego war saw
ings stamp committee.
More than a year ago Miss Dicker-
man and Nancy Cook. a school chum
and coworker in Fulton, went to
England to serve in the British mill
tary hospital. Miss Dickerman was
for six weeks In the wards and later
took charge of the records of the
hospital. Miss Cook, having special
lied in arts and crafts work at col
lege. did rehabilitation work for the
soldiers. Miss Cook will campaign
with Miss Dickerman and will act as
her manager.
Two Parties Backing Her.
The prohibitionists, as well as the
democrats in Oswego county have
Endorsed Miss Dickerman. According
to report from Miss Dickerman's
homo town, Fulton, the democrats
put great deal Of faith in the
woman vote. There Is, moreover, ac-
cording to their belief strong anti
Sweet sentiment in the county.
Democrats depending on the wom-
ems votes say that Speaker Sweet
will reap the harvest of his continued
opposition to the so-called welfare
bills in the assembly last winter. His
supporters, however, say that he is
willing to face the opposition among
women voters because he did not
consider the women supporting the
bills representative of the women af-
fected most by the provisions Of the
bills. He has also declared himself
for suffrage in the last year.
Miss Dickerman and Miss Cook,
both of them rather young for the
job. by the way, left last week on
their campaign.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing II

When You wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which is very injurious, as II
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use Is mulslfed
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this Is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply meisten the hair with water
and rub It in; about a teaspoonful
is all that Is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly ana
evenly. and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, 1t Ioesens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam
