WAITER ALLOWED FOR COBB
Booth Tarkington's Amusing IIIustra-
ton of Student Life in Munich
Before the War.

Munich before the war" said Booth
Harrington, the famous novelist, "was
an earthly paradise. For ten cents in
a Munich beer garden you would get a
quart mug of ambrosial beer and a
brace of Incompatible frankfurters-
a meal which you would consume to
the music Of Wagner and Beethoven,
played by a vast and magnificent or
cheStra.
''Of course, in Munich the art stu
dents-poOr fools-sometimes drank
too much. They tell a story there
about Missouri student.
=" Another large beer and two frank
furters for Student Cobb of Missouri
a Munich waiter sang out one night.
"'Only give Student Cobb one frank
furter,' said the manager OF the gar
den. Student Cobb gees everything
double
I've already attended 20 that said
the waiter, Cobb ordered four frank
furters.'"

TO JOIN WORLDS CONGRESS
Secretary Meredith Favors AoesPt-
ancs of Invitation Of lntsrna-
tIonai Association.

That the United States should ac-
cept the Invitation OF foreign coun-
tries to join the Permanent Interna-
tfonal Association OF Road Con-
crosses is the recommendation of the
executive committee OF the American
Association Of State Highway Ohlcials
to the secretary OF agriculture. The
committee, which held q twO-days' con-
ference In Washington. D. c., con-
sidered at the suggestion OF Sec
rotary Meredith. the invitation te
the United States which had
been received through the state
department from the American consul
general at Paris, Secretary Meredith
concurred in the action OF the high
way officials and told them he would
that congress be asked to authorize
acceptance. The highway officials alse
recommended that the international
association be invited to the United
States for its next meeting.
In advising the secretary Of the &C
ton Of the state highway officials,
Thomas Il. Macdonald, chief of tho
bureau Of public roads, who is also
member of the executive committee,
said that the United States is the only
civilized nation not now a member
Of the international association He
saw many advantages in the United
States becoming a member, and he be-
Heved the other nations in the as

ton to meet in this country next year.

and results in highway construction
and administration Although meet
ings have been held each year, none
has been called since the European
war began. Before the war the con-
gress had met in Brussels, Paris and
London.
Secretary Meredith notified the high
way officials that he would enlarge
the advisory committee of state
highway officials, which consults with
the department on federal policies in
road building. This committee. con-
Sisting of six members, will now in
clude tire entire executive committee
Of the American Association Of State
Highway Officials, increasing its men,
bership to II. The secretary said this
step was taken so that the committee
would more completely represent all
parts Of the United States. The en-
larged membership will enable the adj
visory committee TO work out a classf-
f1cation of roads for the entire coun-
try, thereby providing basis for
more orderly national program of road
building.
The executive committee inspected a
signal device destined to prevent
grade crossing disasters and accidents
on dangerous curves. It met with the
director of sales of the war DEPART
ment with reference TO obtaining
equipment which is seriously needed

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of Dr.. Kilmer's Svsmp-ROOt is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, II
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It Is on sale
at ali drug stores In bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv

 1t would seem that Cecil B. De lflle has been working up toward the pro- duction of Male and Female" his new Paramount-A Aircraft picture. through his entire career. Tor this picture which was shown for the first time last night at the Davis teatre, represents the contamination of his ,many-sided genius. the finest fruit O fyears of artistry.
 The several excellent qualities which have distinguished his former produc- tions have reached their fullest de- velopment here. That he as hitherto done nothing to compare with this is unquesuonable- As everyone knows. J. M. Barrie wrote the play. .sThe Ad- mirable Crichton,' from which Male and Female" is adapted. Sir James is one of the last authors to allow his works to be filmed. He held off for long while. but finally allowed De Mile tc try his hand When the au- thor sees this he will not be dissp- pointed. The dramatic strength Of his play. and it's deep and keen character izations are enriched by the presen- tation De Mile has given it. The story l has. not been changed in the least.
