Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Aug. l+.-Presiden,
Harding has made up his mind or
the personnel OF the United States
commission to participate in the
Washington international conference
on reduction OF ornaments, but he
cannot foreclase the subject until
exchanges with the participating
powers have defined some regula.
tion as to the number OF represen-
tatives each nation will have at the
conference table.
Speculation as TO the probable
membership Of the American dele
CATION has not changed the list as
published in the Tribune several
weeks, ago after the president had
told some of his advisers that he
had in mind the men he would like
to name. Secretary of State Hughes
already has been designated TO head
the commission. For his colleagues
the president is said to be consider
ing today, as he was two weeks ago,
the following:
Expected Personnel.
Elihu Root. former secretary OF
state.
Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman Of
the foreign relations committee Of
the senate.
Philander c. Knox. former secre-
tary OF state, and republican mem
ber~ OF the senate foreign relations
committee.
Oscar Underwood OF Alabama,
democratic senator and friend Of the
president.
George w. Sutherland, former re-
publican United States senator from
Utah and international lawyer.
If more than five Americans are
to be named it is possible hat the
president may appoint woman OIL
the commission, or some member OF
the house of representatives. That
the president will appoint Mr.. Root
is believed to be certain by those
who have discussed the subject with
him. .y..
Sentiment for Woman Member.
Senator Lodge, by virtue OF his
position as chairman of the foreign
relations commission, is obviously
entitled to head the representation
from the senate. Senator Knox, the
president believes to be eminently
qualified for membership On the
commission, not because he is a
senator, but because of his familiar
ity with diplomacy and international
relations. Senator Underwood is
T,inE considered as representative
~ the minority political party. The
president is known to admire Un-
derwood and to have great conf
dence in his ability. Former Sena-
tor Sutherland is regarded by the
president as eminently qualihed for
the delegation. He was at one time
seriously considered for secretary
OF state.
Whether the president will ap-
point a woman to the delegation no
one knows. The president himself
does not know. He would like to,
it is believed. Agitation for this by
wonlen's organizations continues
daily. The National League of
Women Voters has asked the presi-
dent for an opportunity to present
resolution urging the name OF a
woman on the commission and on
any advisory commissions which
may be formed during the confer
encc.

BALTIMORE. June 25.-The bill
to compel women to stop smoking,
which was recently introduced in
the House Of Representatives. is be-
ing discussed here by local authori-
ties. who refuse to admit that the
use of the weed is injurious to the
health or morals. and a bombshell
was thrown into the ranks of the
reformers by DR.. John S. Fulton.
secretary of the state board of
health. who advocated smoking by
women as an aid to domestic
felicity.
Tobacco has always been in great
demand by the fair sex since the
fifteenth century. when smoking
was much more prevalent than at
the present time" said DIR. Fulton,
land few people realize that the
question of smoking by women
dates back to early history. The
use Of tobacco by women is consid-

as some new evil to combat. They
do not understand that women have
smoked since the discovery of to-
bacco without any apparent i'll ef-

YOUR 30 SLAVES.

TAKE away all our machinery and
steam and electrical power, and
it would require 100000 hard
working slaves to duplicate the work
done by Americans.
The use OF. power and machinery
gives to every man, woman and child
in our country the equivalent of so
slaves.
This is figured out in the latest
bulletin of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
Why envy the nobleman, back in
ancient Egypt or Bagdad, with 80
slaves toiling for him?
He had swift-runng slaves bring
him fish from the ocean and bird
tongues from the mountains.
. Today, with few dimes, you can
get a tin can of shrimp brought, from
Japan, package of dates firm Syria,
a bag of nuts from Brazil, sardines
from Norway. 3.
Your slaves-machinery and pow
er-bring them.
For few cents you can buy
enough matches to start 1000 fires
When the ancient nobleman's fire
wa doused by the rain, he shivered
in the cold until slaves made a blaze
by friction or brought firebrands
from afar.
Flenty of old settlers, now living
can recall the days before matches,
when they ran mile from the near
est neighbours with a shovelful of
blazing Goals.
Your real wealth is measured, not
in money, but in the number of
things you obtain to eat and wear.
the ease with which you get them,
the comforts and conveniences of
your home, methods of transporta-
ton and amusement.
1t is only a few centuries since
even the richest kings had no sewers,
running water, rapid transportation
Or any of the commonplace things
