JOHNSON LECTURES
 ID 1000 HEARERS
Park Crowded When Inter. national PrOhibitiOnist
 Tells of His Cause

Success of prohibition in America will mean that England and other counties will go dry by 19S0.
 This was the main point made by Will liam E. PussyfooD Johnson in an ad- dress to an audience of over 2,oo0 peo- pie in Woodrow Wilson park last night.
 Nr Johnson is on lecture tour of the United States as representative of the Anti-Saloon League. He was introduced by Commissioner John R. Hornady and spoke for over an hour on the work of the league in Europe.
 Frequent reference was made by MT. Johnson to the loss of his right eye when he was attacked by a mob of London college students. Those enterprising students who put out my eye defeated their own purpose" said the speaker. "They have given an impetus to the movement that will make England dry by 1930
 America has blazed the way for pro- hibition, according to MT. Johnson IT this country makes good, then the whole world will follow. America is being de- pended on for guidance and leadership. Lloyd George made the statement, sald the speaker that, "If America stands firm with her prohibition law, England will go dry in ten years.
 Mir. Johnson stated that England buys twice as much goods as she sells. Amer ica's exports on the contrary, are many times in excess of her imports. He brought out the point that economic salvation, if nothing else, would force England to adopt national prohibition.
 Work of the Anti-Saloon League at the peace conference, and in India, England, Sweden. Norway and other countries was touched upoon In such case MT. John- son was of the opinion that the example set bv America will mean the ousting or liquor in those countries in the next 1ew years. It..
 MT. Johnson spoke especially or tne campaign that is being waged Tn Eng land. He pointed out that England IS our mother country, that our languase' literature and history started with her. These and other reasons, the speaker thought, should give us a direct hter- est in making England dry.
 Since he went to England over tW9 wears ago. MT. Johnson stated, ne nay made over 100 speeches. His assoclateft have made over 200 speeches. As soon as his lecture tour is completed, he will re turn to London to resume the Hsht against liquor Hundred Of persons stopped by to shake hands with MT Johnson, following his address
 Mir. Johnson is the guest of Rev. Brook Lawrence while in the city He Will leave this morning for Nashville where he will deliver the concluding lecture oi his tour.

To Keep Skin Fresh and
 Fine These Heated Days

It would be much better for the skin if little cream. powder or rouge were used during the heated term. Mixed with per spiration, dust and grme, these things are anything but beauthying. Ordinary mer- colized wax will do for the com plexion and without giving oily, streaked, spotted or pasty appearance. It is the ideal anplication for the season. and it not only keeps the pores clean, but daily removes particles of scarf skin which have been soied by dirt or weather. By constantly keeping the complexion clear, white, satiny, it does more toward perpetuating a youth ful countenance than any of the arts or artifces commonly employed. One ounce of noercolized wax, obtainabe at any drug store. will completely renovate the worst complexion. It is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning: There's nothing better for tanned, freckled or reddened skins.-Adv.

upon that vote this time. The reaction against the democracy seems stronger today than in 1918 The league issue cuts into some of Cox's normal sources of strength, the wet vote and the pro- gressive vote. An influx of negroes from the south has strengthened the re- publicans as much probab as the growth of the industrial vote in the cities has helped the democrats. A less calculable factor is Cox himself, but he will have to show soon.
