responsibility. the speaker asserted
that the press must recognize and ac-

ice of interests which are not directly
related to the public interest and the
welfare of society loses its quality
and fails in proportion as 1t departs
from this ideal. 1t restricts It's own
liberty and does injury to the ethical
purpose.
although am glad to say that we
who are present here are all pilgrims
along the straight and open road,
believe that 1t is pertinent, for the
sake of the prestige OF the Latin
ened assembly to cooperate for the
firm establishment OF Journalistic
ethics and to fight for its uncondition-
al acceptance and practice without
any exceptions.

our defects and thus take the first
step on the road to progressive i'm

cumstance of these ethical trans
gressions and moral deficiencies, we
must recognize that in an amazing
majority of cases the cause is igno.

than deceit or bad faith.
Praises Journalism Schools.
I'm our countries no preparation il
only is 1t sometimes a career
thoughtlessly chosen, but in many
cases it is an activity engaged in by
those who have failed in other fields.
All we'll organized societies have
schools of journalism. schools that are
urgent, and whose establishment ID
recommended, in the very program
Of this congress.
I'm our countries we have done
without these schools until now, with
fatal results for the fundamental
ethics of our profession. This lack
OF preparation, this blind ignorance,
this total unconsciousness, gives rise
to breaches of ethics of which we
professional journalists are the first
victims"

Holds Travel Beneficial.
THE intercourse of reciprocal
travel" said Mr.. Moves. especially by
travellers who are intelligent, trained
and keen observers, such as real news
paper men are conceded to be, bestows
benefits upon the individual, upon
cities, nations and continents. Wash
inEton, for example, has received and
profited by hints in capital building
from the cities beautiful among your
own fine capitals.
ITO the peoples of all the Ameri
cas-North, Central and South, and
the islands of the sea--reciprocity In
travel intercourse brings increase in
wholesome contacts, mutual under
standing. appreciation and sympathy,
eliminating in wholehearted prejudice
lessening and mutually beneficial
Co-operation-the foundation upon
which genuine material friendship.
marked by mutual forbearance and
good will are built.
Thus is added a new, strong tie to
those binding together the Americas
which the Pan-American Union has
developed and strengthened the
union itself, under its energetic and
RDle ma nagement, being OF all these
Ties that bind the most potent.
Development Is Speeded.
Finally. there is thus speeded the
ST esdy inspiring development of the
more perfect union of the Americas,
a union not political, not military
or militant, but in recognized common
interest. in spirit, thought and pur-
pose. the kind of unity in which are
rooted our highest hopes for the
future of our hemisphere. dedicated
TO democracy, devoted to the rule
of the people and to promotion of
the peoples welfare"
The hall was elaborately decorated
in flags from the nations, palms and

Expert THINKS
Parents and Teachers Are
Warned Against Too
Many 'Dont's.'
BY Ruth Finney

WASHINGTON, March 5.-There
Is time-honored story about a moth
er who had to go away from home
ard leave her young children alone
in the house for an hour or so.
''Don't play with matches" she
told them. Don't lean out of the
windows. Don't climb up on the fur
niture, and, above all, don't put any
dried peas up your noses"
All, that was an ideal The chill
dren pricked up their ears. They
had done all the other things and
were tired of them. But it had never
occurred to them to stick peas up
their noses.
So, of course they tried it. Their
mother returned to find a weeping,
breathless and utterly wretched fam
lily.

Suggestion is the most important

"'There is a great deal of harmful

GOOD ADVICE
OF A FRIEND
Oklahoma Lady, Who Was
Troubled With Painting Spells
Caused by Womanly Weak

NWhen a girl, I used to suffer quite
o bit from womanly weakness at times
SAYS Mrs Alex Steelman of Idabel,
Ok&&"I had so much pain, and
wo%<# get nervous and have smother
ing or fainting spells,
"I tried everything 1 could hear Of.
My folks were very uneasy about me.
"A friend who knew of my condi-
ton advised Cardui. I took about
two bottles and found 1t was helping
me. These fainting spells grew lighter"
On a later occasion, says Mrs. Steel
man, 1T was so very weak, and my
back ached. I was tired all the time. 7
took Cardui. It strengthened and
helped me. l was much stronger after
taking"
Cardui is a safe, d-acting extract
OF medicinal herbs. 1t contains no
harmful or deleterious ingredients. One
of it's chief ingredients has been in
use for hundreds of years for the treat
ment of certain female troubles.
Thousands of women in all parts Of
the United States and many foreign
countries have written to describe how
Cardui has relieved them of pain and
suffering, and helped them to build up
their health and strength.
