wrinkles-unsightly harbingers

serve the lustrc OF your eyes,
aad give them that fresh sparkle
always associated with youth.
Not only that but you can be
fitted so becomingly that
glasses become beauty asset.
Instead of eyeglasses making
you appear older-they actually
do the reverse, when scientifi-
cally fitted.

BUILDERS GIVE
STRIKE VERSION
Contractor Says Carpenters
Made Demands When
Price Fall Had Started.

A statement concerning the wage
controversy between local carpen-
tiers and builders. which recently
resulted in a general walk-out by
the craftsmen. was issued yester-
day by Andrew Murray. president
of the General Contractors \ and
Builders Exchange.
Neither the master builders nor
their wage committee ever received
an offer of s1.12k an hour as the
wage desired by the carpenters"
declares the statement, until Oc-
tobcr l, the time when the former
scale of s5 cents an hour expired"
A little later. says the statement,
committee of carpenters asked
S1.25 an hour pay, which the build
ers had decided and which they
reiterated they would npt grant.
Afterwards. it. relates, tie carpen-
tiers said in effect that they would
accept S1.12h per hour.
Had the carpenters brought their
latsf demand before the builders
in the Srst place, instead of ask
ing s1.25, a settlement might have
been effected. With the prices of
nearly everything at the peak and
a great many things on the de-
cline, what would the public have
thought II the builders had ad-
vanced the wages of carpenters
S2.40 a day."

ATTORNEY RAPS
PEACE TREATY
Davis Tells Harding Club
That America Fought in
Self Defense.

Attorney Henry F. Daris spoke
last night to the Harding Demo
cratic Club at the Pythian Temple,
1912 Ninth street northwest, vigor-
ously attacking the peace treaty.
Davis said the United States did
not go to war against Germany but
merely accepted the status of a bel
ligerent which was thrust upon it.
He said the reason for the United
States entering the war was not
idealism but self defense.
He disputed the claim that a
treaty is necessary to terminate war
giving as authority the statement
of an authority on international law
that war is terminated by the con-
clusion Of a treaty of peace, by ces.
sation of hostilities or by the con.
quest of one CT the belligerent
states.
In referring to Article X he said
that its obligation is apt to be COM
piled with or not, according to the
makeup of Congress.

(Washington Herald-Public Ledger
Service, Special Cable Dispatch-)
London, Oct. 12.-Another attempt
to get at the root of Europe's eco
nomic ills is being made here this
week by the International Economic
Conference.
The opening session. presided over
by Lord Parmoor, agreed that the
restoration of Europe was of i'm
mediate and urgent necessity.
Many of the delegates repeated
the warning that too much money
was being spent in Europe on ar
naments and preparations for war,
and would. therefore. lead to ruin.
The London conference virtually
puts its stamp of approval on the
declaration of Mr.. Boyden. the Amer
lean delegate at Brussels. by agree
ing that Europe's one remedy, or
at least the first step in that d.
rection, is the need for. a change
OF spirit ana a sincere desire for
international cooperation.
The conference listened to a Ger.
man woman delegate Frau Schrie-
Der Kriger. a deputy in the Reichs'
tag, describe the conditions in Ger.
many. She said the new race arts
ing from Germany's undernourishet
tubercular children would be tbs
poorest specimens of mankind the
world has ever seen. Germany
could not expect reconstruction witt
such a race, she declared.
The conference seems TO have at
tracted attention through the re
fusal of the home office to permit
Walter Rathenau. the German cleo
trical magnate, to land in England
to attend the conference session!
as a German delegate under tn
alien act. Rathenau was refused
admittance to England because o.
his war record as a propagandist
and also because of his after-wal
reputation as a protagonist of re
action in Germany.
