Y. w. C.. A. CONVENTION

Because of the acute and vital
problems facing this generation, par
ticularly perhaps, its women and
girls, the biennial convention Of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, to be held IL Hot Springs, Ar
kansas, April 20-27, will be one OF The
most important national gatherings
of the decade. National Board head
quarters here in New York are teem-
ing with plans for making it as pro-
ductive Of tangible results as the av-
erage convention is of fluent CONVEX
sation. One of the principal features
of the convention will be discussion
of the methods of effecting a world
peace based on the findings OF the
conference of the Worlds Commit
tee, Y. w. c. A. held in Champrey,
Switzerland, in For. The Champrey
resolutions will he introduced by
Miss Charlotte Niven of England,
executive secretary of the Worlds
Committee. A. Maude Royden, Eng
lands noted woman preacher and
leader Of women, Countess Helene
Goblet D'Alviella, of Belgium, Anne
Lamb, who has done such great work
in India. and Judge Florence Z.
Allen of Cleveland, the first woman
iudge of a Court Of Common Pleas
in this country, will be among the
principal speakers. Miss Mabel
Crafty, General Secretary, in the
opening address, Facing the Pres
ent" will outline the place of the
Y. w. c. A. in modern community
life. There are three groups within
the convention: the National Student
Assembly, the Industrial Assembly
and the World Service council, which
will hold sectional meetings to dis
cuss specific lines of work.

demonstrates that good stories are

is a story of the eternal triangle and
vet it is as effective in this presenta-
ton as though it were an entirely
new idea. That is because the orig
inal story was exceedingly we'll
written and its adaptation to the
screen has been equally skillfully
done. Claire Windsor, newcomer to
the Goldwyn organization, plays the
leading role dramatically and appeal
ingly, never verging on the melodra-
matte and never losing her grip upon
the audiences interest. Others in the
east are Elliot Dexter, Lowell Sher-
man, Roy Atwell, Richard Tucker
Tom Gallery and John Cesar. 1t is
one of the pictures which deserve the

Preventative Medicine

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with. often follows q
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of a cold appears so as
to get rid of it with the least possible
delay. 1t is folly to risk an attack OF
pneumonia when this remedy may be
obtained fo trife.
