States wish to pay tribute to Sec
retary of state Hughes. So Hughes
has agreed to pose for a painting
by Giuseppe Trotta, distinguished
Italian artist, which" is to be pre-
sented by Italians in this country
to their home government.
The plan was initiated by the
Italian colony in New York and has
been subscribed TO by some 100 900
Italians throughout the country. II

closer relations between the two
countries. especially while he served
as president of the Italian-Amer-
lean Society. >...
Hughes sole request in connsc-
tien with the work. was that II be

SAYS SHAKESPEARE
WROTE SNAPPY ADS
Miss Mock Contrasts ''Your
Cake Is Dough" With
Modern 1T Floats"

Shakespeare was the greatest ad-
vertising genius that the world has
known and his ad slogans even now
have more force than the best of
the newer ones, in the opinion OF
Miss Byrd Mock. who spoke last
night in the New Thought Temple,
1914 y street northwest, on
shakespeare, Premier Advertising
Writer"
The speaker asked her audience
to compare. for example, 1t Floats.
His Masters Voice" and ''Chases
Dirt with Shakcspeare's Your
Cake Is Dough- There a Reason"
and "She Has Seen Better Days"
But il was not in slogans alone
that the, great dramatist excelled
as an advertiser, she said. Miss
Mock regards the rival speeches OF
Brutus and Anthony in Julius
Caesar as the greatest piece OF ad-
vertising argument ever put before
the world. standing over the body
of Caesar. Anthony employed every
one of the essential principles of
advertising. she said.
These two men were each trying
to sell the Roman Empire TO the
Roman people" said Miss Mock,
each had his own particular brand
OF government to offer them. Brus
tus was capable and would have
won, except that he had a more
capable adversary. After Brutus
had them entirely convinced, An
thony veered them entirely around
and. in effect. made the sale
Shakespearean expressions OF ad
vertising value that have been gen
orally adopted and are no longer
recognized as Shakespeare's. the
speaker said, number hundreds.

the fact that eczema may result from
some digestive trouble which, when
corrected. clears up the skin condi-

digestive tract, including the mouth,
which should be kept sweet and clean

THIS is a story Of beads, Navajo
blankets, a tiny flat on the top
floor rear, between Second and
Third Avenues, a BUN dog, a canary,
Indian spirits and an American Indian
Princess, Woof! Woof!
And with the story goes the prophecy
that wOman-especially the American
woman-will be the stronger Sex in the
near future.
Princess Wa Wa Chaw, who says
she Is a descendant of the Mission
tribe located in the lower part OF Cali
fornia, and makes her living lccturing
when the Indian spirits are not giving
her information about the past, pres
ent and future, likes nothing better
than to talk about the future Ameri-
can woman"
Yesterday afternoon amidst snow
and slush and rain her gayly deco
rated living room blazed with cheer
in its radiance OF orange and greens
and reds. Beads hung from gas Jets,
from the ceiling, around pictures OF
''big chiefs" and stoical squaws
Bright colored blankets were draped
over walls, chairs, tables and sprawled
on the moor Feathers long and short
in rainbow Colors stuck out from
every conceivable corner. A gay lit
tie canary chirped merrlIy from its
cage at the window while brown
and white bull dog with black patch
over his eye shifted about the room
and barked occasionally when the
''indian spirits" became too numer-
Gus.
The Princess glded about in moe
casins, a short blue serge skirt and
an orange MILDLY blouse. Her throat
was well covered with beads and her
arms glittered with shiny chain
bracelets.

AS she threw open the door on the

another little girl of her own age.

the other evening.

Don't our children fall downstairs
and bump themselves too?" Mr.. Jarr
inquired.
"Only when they have their roller
skates on, although I tell them not
TO put on their skates till they get on

Ferguson's business, although she
doesn't seem to care whether our
