cial committee was appointed to deter
mine the views of the constituency on
whether women should hold official po-
sition in the church organization. Dr..

ing all information on the report. A

measure of the continued participation
of the church in the interchuTch world
movement.
The new era movement, the inter

union of Christianity, the relation of
church to industry and the killing of
Christians by the Turks are the most
important subjects to be discussed.

members. The communicates. who are
those on the roll in good standing, rep

and adherents who are not members.

TRIALS AND TROUBLES
OF TEETHING Time
BEING A BABY is THE MOST DANGEROUS
PROFESSION IN THE WORLD

Too much heatta little overlooking;
and it is so easy for the delicate orr
gans to become disordered.
The most critical period Of babyhood
is when its teeth are coming through.
Especially so If this occurs in summer
time. It fuses and frets; its gums be-
come infamed; fever sets in; and with
dts vitality thus lowered, II is subject
to serious stomach and bowel troubles.
And the awful result is that fourteen
percent of them never reach childhood.
At the first notice of even the slight
est constipation or diarrhoea, give
Wares Baby Powder according to di-
rections.
Wares Baby Powder Is a simple and
very effective chemical remedy which
for over thirty years has been saving
babies lives.
1t is not a supplying narcotic nor a
gripping purgative. II Is an antiseptic
remedy which purifies the contents OF
the stomach and bowels and kills the
germs hidden there.
1t is tasteless. When mixed In sweet
ened water baby really likes to take II.
1t is absolutely harmless. II whole

SOCIALIST PARTY DENOUN-
CES REDS"

New York, May 1.-THE cred
flag internationalists" of the So
cialist Party of America went
down to their first real defeat in
the party's national convention
here today.
BY the decisive vote of 103 to 33
the convention crushed a "radi-
cal" declaration of principles sub
mitted by the delegation from
Illinois, which provided for the
dictatorship of the proletariat"
and limitation of citizenship
throughout the United States.
Bitterness of invective marked
the day-long debate between the
conservative forces of Morris
Hillquit of New York and the
radicals" led by J. Louis Eng
dahl of Chicago.
"You are afraid of the dictator
ship Of the proletariat," shouted
Engdahl in closing the debate on
the Illinois measure. "Yet you
have the dictatorship of Palmer,
Wilson and Burleson.

ANTI-PROFITEERING LAWS
ARE NEEDED.

New York, May 11.-Armin W.
Riley. assistant to Attorney Gen
eral Palmer, today urged enact
ment of special anti-protiteerlng
legislation to replace the Lever
act, which will be automatically
rescinded when the United States
formally declares peace. With
out substitute legislation, Mr..
Riley asserted, the country will be
at the mercy of profteers.
At the same time, Mr.. Riley
made public a letter which he SAID
had ben sent out on the official
stationary of the Retail Colthier 5
and Furnishers' Association OF
New York. This letter, he added,
showed that members were urged
to write their representatives In
Congress to support the Knox
peace resolution, with the hope OF
putting the quietus on the Lever
act.

THE ART OF FORGETTING.

What blessing it is that we can
forget. Today's troubles look
very large, but week hence they
will be forgotten and buried. Says
one writer: eff you would keep
a book and daily put down the
things that worry you, and see
what becomes Of them, it would
benefit you. !" We allow things
to annoy us, just as we allow fly
to settle upon us and plague US ;
and we lose our tempers and get
all out Of balance.
But if we could see what it was
that threw us off our balance be
fore breakfast, and put it down III
a little book, and follow it up and
follow it out, and ascertain what
becomes Of it, we would see what
fools we were in the matter.
The art of forgetting is blessed
art, but the art Of overlooking is
Just as important. And if we
should take time to write down
the origin, progress and outcome
Of our troubles, it would make
over them, and we should be glad
to drop such things and bury
them at once in eternal forgetful
ness.
Life is too shot to be worn out
in petty worries, frettings,
hatreds and vexations.
"Today is the Tomorrow we.
worried about Yesterday-and it
did not happen.

PEACE RESOLUTION PLACED
UNDER FIRE.

Washington, May 11.-Opposi-
ton fire Was opened today in the
Senate on the Republican peace
resolution. Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, Republican men,
Der of the foreign relations COM
mittee, delivering the first salvo.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
the administration spokesman, will
follow tomorrow.
Adoption of the resolution
probably next Thursday or Friday
with predicted privately by lead
ers on both sides. 1t will be given
exclusive right Of way beginning
tomorrow and there were no in
dications of a prolonged debate.
When Senator Lodge, Republi-
can leader, called up the resolu-
ton today and announced that it
would be pressed continuously,
Senator Underwood Of Alabama,
Democratic leader, stated that
while most of the Democrats
would resist" the resolution,
there would be no obstruction and
not many speeches.
Senator McCumber opposed
both Senate and House resolu-
tons. Both, he declared, would
bring dishonor upon the United
States by a desertion of the AL
lies. As a substitute, he'urged his
resolution to restore commercial
relations with Germany, but con-
ceded that it had no chance of
adoption. becanse, he said, the
lines Of division between the two
factions of this body have been
cemented by partisanship and
hardened by time"
President Wilson was criticised
by Senator McCumber who
charged the executive with chief
responsibility for failure Of the
Treaty of Versailles. He deL
clared the president was making
"a colossal blunder" in carrying
the treaty into the political cam
paign.
