JAPAN GETTING
READY TO ACCEPT
U. S. INVITATION
Chats With Hughes Convince Japs
They Will Be Safe at the
Washington Conference

Toxic, July 26.-Official circles last
night were disposed to forecast def
mite action by the Japanese cabinet to-
day in acceptance of President Hard
ing's suggestion for far eastern con-
ference. Apparently the talks be-
tween Ambassador Shidehara and
Secretary of State Hughes in Wash
ington have gone far toward clarity
ing the situation.
According to Japan's understanding
of the American viewpoint, as given
out here, Americas idea is to make
the basis of the conference broad
discussion of policies and principles
rather than of specific topics although
each participant would have the right
to introduce specific topics if they
were germain to the principles under
discussion.
The idea was said to prevail that
questions effecting two powers would
be left, whenever it was possible to
the nations concerned.
The position of Japan was summar :
lied as follows:
Peace now prevails in the Far East
and the great aim of the conference
should be to harmoniZe policies and
all participants in the conference
should strike to this end. Bitterness
and misunderstanding should not be
created by allowing any participant to
leave the conference with the feeling
that action had been taken detrimen-
tai to his rights and vital interests.

funds. will not be physical. it was
said at the executive office. Early to-
day there were no state troops called
out to shield the governor from She

Instead, it was said. the governor
is prepared to say that as chief exec

to arrest. If Judge Smith orders the
governors arrest after court con-
venes this morning, it was said Sher-
iff Mester will call the governor by

county authorities will go no farther
than that today and that Judge Smith
will then adjourn court for the term.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie. and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls Of Mulsified will make
an abundance Of rich. creamy lath-
er and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug stora
1t Is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months. Be sure your

Original Works Of
Copley and Cabain
League Tea Feature

Tho original Autographs by John
Copley and Ethel Gabain are to
fature the art league exhibited
at the Tri-City Art league studio
tomorrow afternoon. 1t is hoped
that the exhibit will be kept long
enough to be exhibited at the pub
tic libraries of the tri-cities.
Until Copley devoted himself
widely to lithography. no simple
great artist had given himself en-
tirely Ito 1t in England-not as the
pre-RAphaelites did he draw his in
SEPARATION from literature or beauti-
ful dreams, but rather from the life
and work Of the streets. from cafes
and theatres always he depicted
man in divers types and characters.
An artist who wishes to picture
everyday life in his pictures must
make up his mind to gain his own
individual technique, and Copley
soon became convinced that only so
could he arrive at his goal. there
being little to learn in this matter
from older prints.
In 1918 Copley married Ethel
Gabain-a most gifted member OF
the Senefelder club devoted entire
ly to the art Of TYPOGRAPHY. OF
Copley's influence other than tech
nique there is no sign in Ethel Ga
bain's work. While he is wholly
English in all his prints. hers have
an elegance that breathes more OF
France, which is not strange, as
she was born in France Of English
parentage.
Ethel Gabain's art is. before all
womanly, whereas Copley's prints
are severely simple. Both know
how to make large white spaces
tell in contrast with dark shadows
and by overlooking ink tones over
the chalk lines; but, whereas, in
Copley this leads to a great mass
ing of light and shades. his wife
finds in it the motive OF some &C
cessory, always attaining thereby
subtle and balanced composition.
1t is just this contrast between
Copley's work and that Of his wife
that is so remarkable. Both artists
use ink Of the same color and pa
pers Of the same kind. yet theil
prints are utterly different. This i!
an unusually large and varied col
lection, containing GA pieces.
