EXPLAIN PLEA
Continued from PAGE One)

by international bankers here to the
statement, which was described by
one leading banker as an "innocuous
and pious plea" It was pointed out
that the idea originated last spring
with British bankers who solicited
the American sigpatories in an en-
deavor to lend moral force to the
plea rather than to commit them to
any definite program. ST.
OF the three New York bankers
whose names were signed to the
statement only one, Albert H. Wig
gin, chairman of the board of direc-
tors OF the Chase National Bank,
is in the city. Mr.. Wiggin said that
he signed the statement while he was
in Europe last April but declined to
make any official comment on its
contents, stating it explained itself
j. z. Morgan, another signatory, is in
Great Britain on his annual holiday
and is not expected home for several
weeks. In his absence partners de-
clined to make any statement. Gates
M. Garrah, the other signatory,
sailed Saturday for Europe where he
will participate in conference of in
ternational committees under the
Dawes plan.
having expressed their desires to
assist in the rehabilitation Of
Europe, American flnanciers probably
were prompted to sign the plea for
eliminating trade bears as a means
of showing their good faith. explained
one. of the leading international
bankers.
No special significance could be
attached to their action, he said,
since it merely represented the I'M
official suggestion of business men
that the time had come when the
European tariff agreements and res
trictions might properly be explored
with view to their modification. I'm
der no conditions. he added, could
tho statement be interpreted as a
plea for free trade or a call for the
revision of American tarig policies.
President Coolidge was represent
ed as believing that the tariff reform
advocated in the document concern
ed more the European states, mas
much as their standards of living do
not differ materially and that tariff
walls do not therefore have the same
effect as in this country.
The same view was emphasized by
John j. Mitchell, Of Chicago, one OF
the bankers who signed the mani
festo.

work in potato judging. In order to
be permanently retained. cup must
be won by the same school three
times.

Adams Studio
Attracting Share
Of Local People

A visit to the Frank Forrestal Ad-
ans studio in the Professional build
ing yesterday proved virtually an ad-
venture in an atmosphere of art.
Mr. Adams, whose wonderful work
in the world of photography has
brought him much renown, recently
opened a studio in this city as a
branch of his Portland establishment,
and those who have seen his work
may readily appreciate the rare artist
ry which it consistently embodies.
The writer was privileged to ex-
anime specimens picked at random,
and experienced a feeling that some
thing more than plain photography
was represented in the many charm
ing studies which occupied attention
and compelled admiration.
Those Elusive qualities, those
vague and underlined characteristics,
that go to make up what we are
pleased to term personality, can hard
~ be caught by the careless manpu-
lation of the cameras lens. Mr.. Ad-
ans employs many remarkably clever
methods in bringing about success
full portraiture of something more
than mere flesh and raiment. His am
bition is to bring out in his work
whatever Is pleasing without resort
ing to the Grass subterfuge of fiat
terry,
Mr.. Adams Is an artist, and to
correctly designate the nature of his
work 1t is logically necessary to make
use of the term art" He is known
as the photographer of Prominent
Persons" and it may truthfully be
said that the high quality Of his art
tends to make for prominence.
Mr. Adams is equipped and pre-
pared to give to the people of this
vicinity the same class of service that
has made his Portland studio unique
among all others.

will be almost a total loss. In the
wholesale department of Amadeo
Christopher store there was a large
stock of candy and tobacco, valued
at $4,000 and this was totally ruin
ed by fire ana water. There was
$4,000 insurance. The stock in the

The insurance office of A. w. In

another heavy loser, Mr.. George had
equipment valued at $1,000, on which
the insurance was $1,000, and his loss
from water is roughly estimated at
$4,000.
On the second floor was the dental
office of DR.. H. f. Danforth, the office
of DIR. P. L. Gilbert, the Farmers
Telephone central and the beauty par
lor of Mrs. Lucille Towne. The office
of DR.. Danforth was badly smoked but
otherwise unchanged as were the Of

Central. The loss IN these Offices will
not exceed $1,000 and is covered by In
surance. Mrs. Towne had a stock and
equipment valued at $4,000. which was
ruined and half of that amount will
be covered by insurance.
While it is as yet impossible to as
certain the damage TO the building it

Mayor Speaks at
Lions Club Meeting

Mayor Herbert c. Libby was the
speaker at the regular weekly meet
ing of the Lions Club held at the
Elmwood Hotel last evening. The
subject of his speech was Public
Speaking" and as an instructor at
Colby College in this particular art.
and as one who has made an ex-
haustive study of this subject for
many years, it naturally followed
that his audience heard an exceed
ingly interesting speech.
Dr. Libby recounted many re-
markable incidents connected with
several great orators whom in the
past he had been privileged to hear.
He exploded many of the theories
commonly held in regard to the ease
and facility with which the speaker
of experience appears before his
auditors and does his little stunt. He
mentioned great speakers, men long
before the public, who frankly con-
fessed to nervousness as they step
ped upon the platform. He said this
nervousness was a good sign, and in
Dictated a store of energy pent up
within the body of the speaker. He
drew a picture of a horse prancing
about prior to the race, with neck
arched, TANKS quivering, sensitive
nostrils dilated, manifesting in fact
all the symptoms of extreme ner-
business. This, he said, was the kind
of animal that made an impression
on the spectators.
He told his hearers that about the
only real and positively effective
handicap to public speaking was the
condition of being absolutely dumb.
He mentioned the defects, physical
and oral, that Demosthenes and CT
cero found it necessary to overcome
to attain supremacy in the art.
He called attention to the fact
that many schools were now grant
ing degrees in public speaking, and
spoke of the present need OF 1t,
what with our several service or
CARNATIONS, the members of which
are often called upon to speak on
the subject of their classification.
The applause that followed Mayor
Libby's address was emphatic tes-
timony to its appreciation.

GAS IN STOMACH
HURTS THE HEART
Thousands of Cases of Heart Failure
Are Caused by Acute Indigestion,
says Medical Writer

Gas pressure from sour, acid, upset
stomach is not only nauseating and
highly uncomfortable but some day it
may prove fatal!
When your meals are followed by
boating feeling of fullness or pres
sure, shortness of breath and pains
around the heart. you may be sure
that the acid condition of your stom-
ach is producing GAS that is push
ing upwards and crowding your heart:
That's the reason for the shortness of
breath and sharp. shooting pains.
Whether young or old, the presence
of stomach gas is truly serious and
should always be given prompt and
careful attention.
To quickly Danish gas, cleanse and
sweeten the stomach, neutralize the
acidity-nothing is better than the
daily or "as needed" use of ordinary
Bisurated Magnesia. 1t gives almost
instant relief.
Any good druggist can supply Bis
urated Magnesia in powder or tablet
form at very small cost-but be sure
you get BISURATED Magnesia-rec-
