are prepared for 1.-THE freest and
frankest exchange Of views"
al think 1 speak the minds OF
all governments" said Chamberlain,
when / say we are profoundly
grateful we have. reached point
where we can cease sending notes
and meet around the table in an
atmosphere of good win for an in
formal, frank and friendly exchange
of views.
at regard the German declara-
tons to the press as showing they
come with the same good will and
sincere desire to reach q satisfac-
tory settlement as the British dele.
CATION Secretary Chamberlain
told the correspondents. ''Strese-
mann's declaration shows that he
does not consider the German gov
in any way interfered with by the
treaty with Russia.
Peace Augury Good
"If the foundation of peace cannot
be laid in so heavenly a spot as
this" he continued, "the peace
must have flown from this earth.
None of us come here to post con-
ditions or make demands. We come
as representatives of free and equal
nations to put our minds together
to seek solution to the difficulties
| in our path"
az am encouraged in the hope
| that proceeding soberly and with
| moderation we will succeed. 1t
would be foolish to speak with con-
fidenee, which will only be possible
when an agreement has been made.
But the views expressed by the
German government may be con.
| sidered encouragement for the hope
| the difficulties will be solved.
| THE British delegates come here
with the sincerest desire to let the
dead past bury its dead. We are
all so linked by the needs OF peace
that what has passed cannot be
allowed to interfere with the sue
cess of the future"
Chamberlain proposed that there
should not be any formal presidency
of the conference.
1--WE should meet on a footing OF
perfect equality" said Chamberlain
| This move was understood t.
have been taken because German
delegates feared that M. BRAND
might be made the president and
dominate the conference.
"I am most favorably impressed, ;
said NJ. BRAND, French foreign
minister, after the first session Of
the conference, when asked to com
ment on the trend Of the negotia
tons.
The Jurists are meeting this after
noon, and it is expected that the
work of drafting q tentative pac
will be undertaken.

Due to Clay
The beauties Of the ages
~ Edna Wallace Hopper

Famous Beauties Of. all ages have
used clay. And today, after th0u-
sands OF years, we have found moth
ing else to compare.
Clay is beauty essential. No girl
can look her best without it, no
woman keep her youth. The users
of Cay stand out in every circle.
The woman who omits It cannot
hope to compete.
But crude and muddy clays have
been suppIanted The new type
clay Is white, refined and dainty. It
IS the final result of 20 years OK
scientific study.
My White Youth Clay is this new
type. II combines two cIays with
many other factors needed by the
skin. It Is clean and dainty. I find
Il ten times better than the clays I
used up to five years ago.
Youth Clay purges the skin Of nj
the causes OF bIackheads and bleln-
ishes. It brings the blood to the.
skin to nourish and revive It. The
result Is that rosy aftergIow which.
an1azes and delights. 1t combats al
lines and wrinkles. reduces enlarged
pores.
All toilet counters now supply Edna
Wallace Hopperss White Youth Clay.
But shall gladly mail q trial tube If

"KENTUCKY PRIDE" is
ANOTHER "BLACK BEAUTY"

Ever hear a horse talk. and a
race horse, at that?
A race horse who didn't make good
tells its story in Kentucky Pride"
this week at the Colonial.
Here is & fine idea, because It
makes all Of us think more Of dumb
animals and what they must go
through. This William Fox produc.
ton is just a simple story-the story
of a broken down race horse. This
horse couldn't win a race to save
the fortune Of her master, but she
did bring into the world a colt that
carried the colors Of a house to fame.
We get a closer view Of horse life
in Kentucky Pride" than we have
for many months. The subtitles are
supposed to be the words of the race
horse telling the story.
This simple little story OF horse
love and devotion has been so
worked out that II Is all family en-
tertainment. 1t claims to be a horse
story. and It is Just that. It's race
horse cast numbers such thorough
breds as Man o. War; Negofol, Nor
vich, Fair Play, The Finn, Vir-
ginia's Future and Confederacy.
Quite O fortune in horse flesh.
The human cast is headed by J.
Farrell Macdonald. Gertrude Astor
and Henry B. Walthall. Interest
centers just now on Macdonald,
who comes through with a fine Irish
Characterization. full OF human un.
Outstanding and love for both horses
and humans. Walthall is cast as
the man who loses his fortune at
cards. His fortune was his race
horses.
The Colonial management made
no mistake in booking Kentucky
Pride" because this picture serves a
fine purpose--it makes us respect
more and more dumb animals. 1t Is
good entertainment and has fine
moral tone.
The bin includes short reel
features such as Eddie Gordon in
Taxi War" a news reel, Aesop
Fables and music by the American
Harmonists.
