How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
a medicine. Then. they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.-Adv.

PEACOCK ALLEY" IS
GORGEOUS PRODUCTION
Shows Mae Murray as Partisan Dancer
and Misunderstood
Wife.

| 1t is not often that motion picture
fans are given the opportunity to see
the latest and most stylish costumes
presented by one of the most attrac-
tive artists of the screen in story vi
brant with romance and adventure, but
that is what Mae Murray's latest pic
ture, Peacock Alley is. II will be
shown Wednesday, April 26, at the
Magnet theatre.
In this Metro release for Tiffany
Productions, Inc, presented by Robert
L. Leonard. Miss Murray portrays the
part of Partisan dancer, who, as the
darling of the famous city Of pleasure,
il feted and adored for her daring and
artistic creations. She falls in love with
youthful American, a small town
boy, and goes back 10 his home only to
find that the people of the little vii
lsge are scandalized at his French wife.
The rude awakening among the bright
lights of Broadway gives this story
turn which makes il one OF the most
dramatic offerings of the screen.
Peacock Alley" is typically Mae
Murray picture. Its gorgeous settings
and the costly costumes Of the star are
outstanding features in an offering
which at its special showing in New
York won the unstinted praise of the
critics as being the most beautiful and
gorgeous production of the screen. The

Building Economic Capital.

A capital city of American commerce and
industry is to be founded by Roger w Babson
national authority on financial and industrial
subjects. He has purchased the site-22O acres
near Wellesley, Mass. This area is to be divid-
ed into-two great campuses, one for production
the other for distribution. There will be build
ings for forestry, live stock and mineral pro-
ducts. The chief organizations in the differ
ent spheres of production-such as the National
Textile association and American Iron and
Steel institute-win have headquarters for
their own records, charts, statistics and for
meetings of their officers. The industrial CEN
ter will be organized by processes and pro-
ducts.
The distribution center is to be organized
by states. Each state government is to have
its own building for exhibits and files giving
information on its own economic conditions
In addition to these two separate groups there
will be other buildings housing more general
collections and files dealing with economics
finance, psychology and factory management
In this community will gather the men in con-
troll Of the country's economic processes. The
physical and recreational needs of residents
will be taken care of by a dormitory, gymnas-
ium, chapel, art exhibition, restaurant, golf
links, camps and whatever alse appears to be
necessary
Site and capital are secured. board Of
trustees is working on the plans. Construc-
ton on the first two buildings is scheduled to
start in March. 1t is big plan and, for that
very reason, is fraught with dangers as we'll as
with beneficial possibilities. Mr.. Babson him
self thus expresses his hope for it,. "This CEN
trail gathering place of the powers of produc-
ton and those who are familiar with distribu-
ton would do more than anything else I know
to stabilize civilization and bring a ma
tional satisfaction and progress. 1t would be
be rejuvenation of New England. 1t would be
the salvation of the 100000 unemployed. |
And it would help eradicate many of the dark
and tragic features of the vast industrial civil
lization of which this country is most repre- |
sentative" If it can do all this it seems odd !
that so ambitious a public service has been |
eft to private enterprise.

The Egg From China.

One hundred thousand dozen eggs were re-
Gently received in New York from China. 1t
takes the eggs five weeks to get here. They
were sold chiefly to cheaper class retail stores
and to bakeries. If Chinese eggs are entering
the port of New York at the rate of several
million dozen annually, claimed, it is more
than likely that they are entering other ports,
particularly on the west coast, at relatively
larger rate. In addition millions of pounds of
dried and frozen egg products are coming into
this country from China. OF course this has
its effect on the American egg producer
The pending tariff bill places a duty of
cents dozen on eggs in the shell, cents a
pound on prepared yolk of albumen and Is
cents pound on dried egg produces, and the
quicker that bill is passed the better it will be
for egg producers, and possibly for the
health of our egg consumers. Centuries ago
the philosophers engaged in heated debate
to which first, the hen or the egg.
The question was not decided. If of their
number had submitted Chinese egg as Exhibit
A the supporters of hen primogeniture would
have been overwhelmed at the first crack of
the shell by evidence not at all circumstantial.
And egg which could drive out those stub
born old metaphysicians can do a great deal
to put the American producer out of business.

chances of war in case of diplomatic disagree

The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-02-25

Senator Hiram Johnson of California is ask
ing why the United States has agreed in the
Pacific treaty not to fortify the Philippines and
not to maintain naval base at Guam while
Japan is permitted to strengthen the fortifi-
cations of its home islands and Great Britain
to add to those at Singapore. He might as
well ask why the United States is left free
to fortify and defend the Panama canal zone
and Alaska, which are like them, connected
with the defense of the mainland of the country
affected. The agreement not to fortify frontier
points in the Pacific is along the same line with
the famous agreement thai has left the Canad-
fury and has conserved peace instead of provok-
ing war between Great Britain and the United
States. In answer to these critics who see in
this agreement some kind of a humiliation or
surrender by the United States, it may be said
positively that it is no more humiliation to
the United States than it was a humiliation to
Japan to agree to give up an ambition to be-
come first-class naval power and content

expected to forego the fertilization of it's coast
defense and its costal islands it was not to be
expected that the United States would consent
not to fortify Its Pacific coast and its canal
zone. but II Japan could be persuaded to give

Stupidity of Militarism.

No matter how well mentioned imperialism
invariably gets itself hated because Of the stu
pid blunders of its inseparable companion,
militarism. Subject peoples cannot be con-

often inclined to employ the treat 'em rough"
slogan in dealing with defenseless civilians 1t
