women are naturally keen to know
whether they are to be adequately
represented at the disarmament con.

only woman can speak for them
A movement is on foot TO bring this
home TO President Harding as
strongly as possible. II has already
been suggested at the White House
that President Harding is favorably
considering the possibility OF appoint
ing a woman to the American com
mission, and the women are going
to do their utmost to help him make
up his mind. Probably his decision
will be influenced by the number
OF American representatives who will
be seated at the round table and
this, in turn, will be determined by
the number named by the other
nations.

trade which was. perhaps
more significant Of her natioaz. re-
covery than any other evidence tha,
could be produced
French export trade in 1920
reached a total OF twenty-five and
rie-haif billion francs. This is the
highest value ever attained by
French exports in single year. In
1918 theNalue was slightly over six
and oue-half billions while N 1915,
due TO the burden OF the war. it fell
TO three and three-quarter billions.
The 1920 total is approximately
double the value of Frances 1919
export trade.
Significant Of increasing ability to
supply her own needs is the fact
that Frances imports from other
countries are decreasing. The bal
ance OF her trade--that is. the re-
laton OF imports 10 'cxports-in,-
proved almost eleven billion francs

Norma Talmadge, famed beauty
of the screen, is coming to the Tabb
theatre Friday in her latest Select
special, "She Loves and Lies" a
comedy drama founded on Wilkie
Collins story of the same name.
In this play Miss Talmodge por-
trays two sides of the well known
eternal triangle, being her own rival
for the affections of her husband.
Miss Talmadge as Marie Calender
finds herself wed to a certain Mr..
Lismore, whom she marries in
philanthropic mood. to help him tide
over some financial worries. 1t is
purely marriage of convenience,
but as time passes Marie finds the
marriage of convenience" extreme
ly dull; whereupon she searches for
a method of winning her husbands
love. The plan she eventually hits
upon is unique to say the least.
Realizing that she cannot flirt with
him at home under the circum-
stances she goes elsewhere, becomes ]
