Prominent men who used to pursue me all
over town now pass me by on the street
with only curt nod. Some of the very
best people have actually gone out of their
way to avoid me. The head of the firm
hasn't called me into his private Office for
three months. And Joan and l have our
evenings all to ourselves. I no longer have
to send three dress shirts to the laundry
every week on account of Mrs. Fitz- Carl
tons dinner parties. The president of the
country club has stopped talking about put
ting me up for membership. Thank heaven,
l won't have to buy bunch of golf tools.
l can buy some clothes for the children in
stead. When there's an impossbly hard
job on hand at the Office they pass it over
to one of the other boys and let him fall
down on it instead of me- l have a chance
to go ahead with my own work and make
gooG. I'm going to be a success. / feel it
And it's all due to Peters and what he told
me.
But you want to know how it's done.
Well, what Peters told Inc that day was
"Get a copy of Doctor Bunko's The Secret
of Making People Hate You"
IT'S wonderful! That little book tells you
l. how to demagnetize yourself. If you re
cursed with a genial disposition, as was,
you can learn how to be tactless and dis
agreeable in ten lessons. Ten more lessons
will tell you how never to remember a mans
name or face or telephone number. You
can make your dearest friend complete
stranger after reading three of Doctor
Bunko's chapters. After reading this epoch
making little book you will never be well
informed on artistic, literary, political and
educational topics. No longer will COM
plete strangers in a Pullman smoker insist
on drawing you into conversation in order
to hear your views.
Such confidence have the publishers in
old Doctor Bunko's book that they will
gladly send it to you on approval. Send
no money. Don't even stamp the envelope
if you don't happen to have a stamp in your
wallet. just get the book anyway and learn
how to help yourself the way I've been
helped. Be dsagreeable and have a little
time to yourself!

HELPLESS PEOPLE CHARGED

Declares That Armenians Are at the
Mercy of Turks and Tartars, VINO
Murder Men and Carry off
Women to Slavery.

New York.-Upon his arrival here,
Miriam Sevalsy, representative in the
United States of the Armenian nation
al delegation, asserted that 1.-THE be-
travail of Armenia constitutes the most
cowardly act In the annals OF history.
1.-The condition in Armenia continues
10 be precarious." he said. The Ar
menians are still AT the mercy OF the
Turks and Tartars without any etfeo
tive protection from the allied powers,
except it be in southern Armenia, Dor
dering the Mediterranean, where there
are French and British troops.
Turkey is taking advantage of the
present rivalry of the powers as she
has been doing for the last one hum
dred years. TO give the finishing touch
to her policy of Armenian Christian
determination. England does not want
to act. by reason, it seems, of her In
dian policy.
There are already in this country
representatives of the Armenian re-
public of the trans-Caucasus, and the
| plenipotentiary of the Armenian ma
tional delegation of Paris, who have
come to state their case to the govern
ment of the United States and to CON
! gress. Let their presence among us
become a symbol of arousing the pub
lie to a truer sense of its duties toward
this deserving nation which has a
claim upon American, and which the
latter truly acknowledges.
Il would like to add one word. There
are about two hundred thousand Ar
menian girls and women sequestered
by the Turks and other barbarians, and
not II single Turk has as yet been
hanged for the wholesale butcheries OF
these innocent and defenseleSS Armen'
ians, whereas German officers are be
ing hailed before military tribunals in
France for having violated the laws
of war"

CUMM|NS ASKS
FOR RAIL ACTION
SAvs CALAMITY FACES THE
NATION " CONGRESS DELAYS
LEGISLATION.
Advises Colleagues That He Has Good
Reason to Believe President Will
Return Roads to Owners Even
Without Solon's Action.

WashingtOn.-Sena Cummins OF
IOWA, chairman of the senate inter-
state commerce committee. told the
senate on Monday he had good reason
10 believe the president intended to
carry out the threat he made last De
cember TO return the railroads to the
owners Oh January I. 1920, regardless
OF whether congress had by that time
passed adequate railroad legislation.
Such ar action by the president,
Senator Cummns declared, would re-
suit In "a financial catastrophe" He
declared the situation so meaning that
he proposed within short time to
move to sidetrack the peace treaty In
the hope Of getting the railroad bill
enacted at the present session of con-
gress.
IL have good reason to believe that
the president has not changed his pur-
pose to return the railroads on Janu-
AIRY l." said Senator Cummins. Nor
would anyone criticize the president
with much severity, because we have
had ample opportunity to prepare pro.
per railroad legislation. But it will
bring calamity from which we can
not escape IL the roads are returned
without adequate legislation. You will
witness a financial catastrophe. 1t is
our bOunden duty to pass before this
session ends the legislation we think
Is necessary to meet the situation"

Indianapolis.-The strike of the BIZ
luminous miners went into effect Fri
day night, October 81, in face of a
court order forbidding the strike.
An order was issued by Federal
Judge A. 3. Anderson of the United
States district court of Indiana for

der to stop engineering of the strike
by union leaders. No last word" or
other messages to the members of the
tive board or officers of the organiza-

this fact was brought to their atten-
ton.
The principal leaders in the miners
union met the courts action with de-
nunciation as a violation of constitu-
tional rights" declarations that it
came too late to reach their men with
a countermanding order, and with pre-,
dictions that it would be disregarded
anyway.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, with Vice Presi.

tested as delegation to Attorney
General Palmer against the govern
ment's action in suing out the injunc
ton, and predicted that it could "only
result in creating new and more dis
turbing issues which may not be con
fined solely to the miners"
Attorney General Palmer emphasized
to the labor leaders that the govern
ments injunction was in no wise an in
fringement of the working mans RICH
to strike, but that it was lawful pre-
cess against calamity to the country
He pointed out that the injunction ha
been issued for the government actin
for all the people and not for the en-
ployers acting in conflict with thei
employees.
The attorney general declined

ers failed to heed the federal court
order pointing out that the court i
i self initiates means to deal with thos
who disregard its mandates.
