LODGE TO RETURN TREATY TO SENATE ON MONDAY
Why Advertised
Stores Succeed
Reason No. 7

Because the advertised store
speaks with strong confidence Of
the merits of its proposition.
When a store fails to advertise
it must be one of three reasons:
First, because the proprietor
thinks the public will not see his
notice; second, because the pro-
plietor thinks they will not
believe it if they do see it;
or third, because the proprietor
feels that he has no goods Of
such exceptional value that he
can persuade the public to come
in and look at them.
The first reason is valid only
if merchant is considering
some paper of small circulation
The second and third reasons in
dicate lack of confidence on the
part of the store in its goods
No one would have the cour-
age to put money irto advertis-
ing unless goods had demonstrat
ed their value in practical cx
pericnce. The public feels in
buying advertised goods, that it
is getting something that has
made good.

to give notice today that he would
move on next Monday to suspend the
rules and proceed to consideration of
the treaty. The Democrats already
had announced that they would make
a similar motion Tuesday of next
week.
In the form proposed by Senator
Lodge the motion will require a two
thirds majority but the general pre-
diction was that more than that num-
ber would support it. Not only those
who favor ratification in some form
but some of the treaty's irreconcil-
ables are ready to vote to reopen the
debate. Should Senator Lodges mo-
ton fail, however, the motion of the
Democrat leaders the following day
will be in such form that only a ma
iolity would be necessary to pass 1t,
the party leaders say. The Demo-
Gratis contend that no suspension OF
the rules would be necessary to take
up the treaty and that position is ex-
pected to be upheld by Vice-Pfesident
Marshall.
! The Democrats already had an
nounced that they would make SINH
lar motion on Tuesday of next week.
In giving the message in the Senate
today of his intention to call the
treaty, Senator Lodge said he would
first ask unanimous consent to pro
ceed to consideration of the treaty
with reservations" 81 think" he ad-
ded, "that unanimous consent certain
ly will be given. Tn caSa-is.is not |

ment apparently took the Democrats
by surprise and the Republican leader
was asked to repeat it. Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, asked
"Why withhold it so long. Why not
move to take it up tomorrow OF the
next day." 81 have given the matter
consideration" replied Senator Lodge.

sire to wait until they return"

ANSWER TO RAILROAD
WORKERS TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-An
answer to the wage demands of the
two million railroad employees pre-
sented last July will be given tomor-
row by Director General Hines at a
conference with officers Of the
Brothehoods and other unions. There
was no informa 81 - to what the
government attitude would be but it
was said today that the answer would
be "dehnite and final" This confer
encc probably will be the last on this
subject during the period of gov
ernment control which ends March /.
Decision on the demand of the
workers has been deferred pending
the outcome of the governments eff
forts to lower the cost of living. Of
ficials said Mr.. Hines had worked out
the final draft of his reply alone and
that few of his staff advisers had
been taken into his confidence. They
did not venture on opinion whether
he would refuse to negotiate further
Or whether the final statement meant
that the government had declined to
meet the wage demand.

MADELINE CARY
PEDDLINC SOAP
FOR COLLEGE FUND
Plucky st. Johnsbury Cir!
Wins Warm Praise of
Governor Coolidge
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Feb.
Especial to the Caledonian)

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Feb. 2
Under the direction of Mrs. Homer
Albers of Brooklinc, Mass, several
students of Smith College, promn-
ent among whom is Miss Madeline
J. Cary, of st. Johns5uly, VT, a pop
ular member of the 1923 class, have
startled three small rather old fash
ioned and staid Massachusetts, cities,
Northampton, Easthampton and
Westfeld, by appearing on their nu-
merous streets in the guise of street
peddlers, peddling soap and a cleans
ing full which they claim in sing
song voice will cleanse anything from
a party gown to a bath tub Miss
Cary is also featuring in house to
house canvassing.
The movement is in aid of the great
Smith college drive for an endowment
fund of S4,000,000. While their
unique campaign methods have mot
with criticism, some rather bitter,
from several prominent residents, it
is highly approved by Governor
Coolidge, whose home is in North
ampton, and President Nelson of
Smith, both of whom not only
strongly defend the girls but highly
praise them for their plucky efforts.
"These girls are qualifying as first
rate peddlcrs,' declared the Govern
or. GAS they take to the broad high
ways to sell their wa es, they seem
to leave mere men in the shade. Let
them alone, rather encourage them all
you can for they are doing re-
markably plucky work for a wonder
fully good cause" he added.
President Nelson and Mrs. Albers,
who is chairman Of the ways and
means committee, take like attitude.
The returns according to the latter
from The first day are gratifying.

sing solos.
DR.. Rees became a christian at the
age of II and joined the church at
thatatime. After making the most of
his opportunities at school he enter
ed the ministry. His six years as a
pastor were marked by notable ac,
cessions to the church, and his special
fitness for a wider field in evangel-
ism was so marked that he soon gave
up his time exclusively for this work.
He is Il man Of broad culture, has
travelled extensively in America, and
made three tours to Europe and the
Orient
There is nothing sensational about
DR.. Rces. He never uses slang, but
in pure English presses home the
truth with great power. His meet
ings for men are rotable and his
study in many lands gives him a
thorough understanding of men and
their problems.
