Self-Hypnotized
Into q Belief.

Let us take up your difficulties
in order. and first consider your
bashfulness. You sit down and
write fiuently to me. a stranger,
but IL you were TO meet me and
try to tell me what you have put
into your letter. you would be awk-
ward and tongue-tied and end by
saying something quite different
from what you had intended. AND
all this not because there would be
anything grim and severe in me.
Heaven Forbid But because you
have hypnodzed yourself into the
belief that that is the way you- al
ways conduct yourself with
strangers The mental picture or
yourself that, you present in your
letter is the one you have held In
your mind so long that you cannot
help impressing IL on others.
Now, how shall you un-hypnotize
yourself? The process is simple,
but since you have spent years in
regarding yourself as an exagger-
atedly difident person, IL may take
a-Httle time to see yourself in an
other light Loosen your clutch on
that mournful photograph of your
self and substitute another slide.
See yourself as gracious and easy
in manner, talking freely and agree
ably to any one you may meet. or to
a whole roomful OF strange people.
The picture is a very dim one, isn't
IT, and quite unreal; but IL you con-
tinue to look at IL steadily and con-
stantly, 1T will grow clearer and
brighter. That image of yourself
as you would like to be viii sink
into the sub-conscious mind, and the
sub-conscious mind will faithfully
reproduce IL in your life.
Don't shut your teeth and clench
your hands and say: 81 will not
be bashful. won't be stupid and
awkward.
Keep Eyes on Picture of Yourself.
That will only make things worse.
Just keep your eyes fixed on your
charming mental picture. of your
self. and pay no attention to your
behavior, even IL for a time you
seem twice as shy and tactless as
you ever were before Don't be
discouraged IL you do not succeed at
once.
Now, for your vocation. How
can you decide where you really
want to fly until you have tried
your wings little? You must earn
your living, and you are totally un-
trained. The first thing to do is TO
get some kind of training; that will

ALLIES PLANNING
 MERGER OF DEBTS
May Seek Waiver of Interest on
 Billions Owed Here Ax

Washington, Sept. 19-A new move n1ent toward the internationalization of. the war debt of all of the allied na- tions, and for the creat ton of senti- ment in this country for Waiving for a given time at least, of the payment of interest on the more than $9,000,- GOO, ,000 already lent to the Allies is making itself felt in Washington.
 There has been strong pressure for the extension of new and long time credits to allied countries for commer- cial transactions for their rebuilding and for the benefit of American trade. This is meeting less and less response in official quarters, however, and may be abandoned for a move for a waiver oY interest because of the ina bility of allied countries to pay in cash. Dur ing the war many interest payments were met by deduction from the total credit allowed and by exchange on , American purchases and Settlem mentS.
 Official dispatches from France and Great Britain indicate the business men of those countries are giving se- rious consideration to the subject as an economic necessity so far as they ar6aconcerned Heretofore the matter has been one of sentiment in this country to waive interest payments from those who fought with us during the war and were bled white financial ly.
 Congress Browns on Plan.
 There is, however, a decided and de- termined opposition in congress to- ward any further extension of loans or waiver of payments due. Repre- sentative Tinker (Mass.) introduced a resolution recently calling for a re-
 
 exchanges, formal or informal, rela- tive to the extension of foreign cred its or loans, or any conversations on the subject whatsoever.

MANY NEW RESIDENTS
COMING TO COLORADO

State Board of Immigra tion Estims-

State During 1919.
AS a result of the survey of bust
ness and professional openings in
the various smaller cities and towns
of the state, conducted early this
year by the state immigration de-
partment, a very considerable num-
ber of business and professional
people from other states have found
locations in Colorado and have ad-
ded materially to the wealth of the
smaller communities.
The advertising and subsequent
correspondence conducted by the
immigration department following
this survey brought inquiries from
approximately 1000 people who
desired to locate in Colorado, and
with the cooperation of commercial
clubs, banks and public spirited
citizens in all parts of the state
many of these already have found
homes here and others still are con-
sidering the relative merits of the
various communities to which they
have been referred
The advertising based upon this
survey will be continued several
weeks longer and indications are
that the campaign will bring not
less than $5OO,0O0 in investments to
the state.

Eugene O'Brien and Catherine
Caluert in Fires of Faith y

Fires of Faith" picturized from
Charles Kenmore Ulrich's powerful novel
which attained such wide popularity last
year, will come to the Strand Monday
for three days run marking what pro-
| badly will be the most elaborate produc-

Fires of Faith" has for it's leading
players three of the most popular stars

ing story of love, war and doughnuts and
has for it's theme the saving of a girl
of the streets by the Salvation Army,
and her wonderful return to the narrow
path and happiness.
Manager Branham in speaking of the
production said 1T is with the greatest
pleasure that L bring this most power
full photoplay to the Strand, for 1 con-
slider it not only one of the most gripping
plays that sprang from the great world
war, but one of the most beautifully
staged and superb productions that has
engaged the screen in many years. The
tribute paid the Salvation Army Is
beautiful one, and / am sure that every
American soldier who saw service IN
France will join me in saying that this
organization deserves to be pictured be-
fore the American public in manner that
will truthfully show the wonderful work
they did for the boys along the shell
swept battle front of the American army"
The story deals with Elizabeth Blake.

Florence Reed to Play All
This Week in New
PhotO-Drama

The Woman Under Oath" is a big
woman's picture. 1t deals with women s
problems and it is declared one of the
most gripping dramas of the screen.
The film abounds in surprises and tense
situations. Florence Reed is the WON
an Under Oath" She knows of beau
tiful young girl, of an unfaithful lover
and of the murder of this unfaithful man
She alone knows all these facts But
the evidence points to the fact that an
other committed the crime Florence
Reed knows, however and the manner
in which she brings the guilty one to JUS
tice is the source of thrills.
The Motion Picture World, one of the
highest authorities on photoplay produce
tins, has the following to say of THE
Woman Under Oath:
"A dramatic meritorous picture that
few equal and none excel. 1t is of high
calibre on a tropical theme, maintaining
deep suspense to the very end. 1t is
not so intense as to mar it's entertaining
qualities and is one of the big pictures
of the year"
