BEAUTY AND CULTURE SEEN Opening or Voters' Convention Is Auspiciously Made anil Remark able Addresses Are Made by Leading Relegates. BY ANNE SHANNON Sin.VRoE. OI1KGON EXPOSITION BUILDING. Fan Francisco, Sept. l.r. It has been splendid to be at the Exposition this week, if only to see the most superb exhibit in Its history, the women of the Nation who are leaders of thought and movements and those who stand for the best and truest American traditions I refer to the delegates to the Woman Voter's convention, and to the National Conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the first ever held outside of Washington. D. C. These two groups are the finest- jooKing women in every respect who have assembled at the great exposi tion, they represent wealth, brains, beauty, culture, family and distinction and they represent that active American quality, initiative. I remember, as child, feeling a little bit ashamed of some of the freaky sort of women with whom my mother who was not freaky was associated in those early first out croppings of woman's initiative toward things political. Today one may well swell with pride to belong to the order i' for no other reason than the quality ci me association. OppnlDK In AaKplrlous. The opening of the Woman Voter s convention on Tuesday with a luncheon at the Inside Inn was auspicious. Seven hundred and fifty women wore t-erved and as many more demanded luncheon tickets, but could not get them Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont, from ew lork City, beautifully gowned and a beautiful woman by consent of nature with her wonderful pois, her Btrengtn and her readiness of wit, commanded attention and yreried wield the audience as an instiument in her hand. She struck the fires of en thnsiasm with her first word: she sDoic briefly but passionately of the aims cf the Convention of Woman Voters the iirst of the kind in history. She de rnanded money for their purposes -and the people responded with hundred- Hollar bills. Mabel Taliaferro, the gifted actress, a slender jouns woman exquisitely gowned in dark brown chiffon that seemed like the floating foliage of some breeze-kissed reed, was equally charm ing in a more snappy, lively fashion Miss Taliaferro tells a story as well a- she acts one. and she had her audience laughing as heartily at frequent in tervals as she does in "The New Hen rietta, " in which she is now starring. She said she represented the only pro fession in which it was an advantage to be a woman. Chinese Woman Physician Speak. Dr. Yarn! Kim. the first woman phy sician in China, in native dress, re viewed conditions in China in perfect English, enlivened by a native gift of oratory. She said her country was more quiet politically than for hundreds of years. China is democratic, but not accustomed to work in assemblies, and many things are difficult, but not as serious as they might appear to an onlooker. Janet Richards, who was introduced as having the largest lecture clientele of any woman in the world, and as one whose mission was "to rescue well-to do women from bridge," asserted that her first allegiance was really to woman suffrage. Alice Paul was Introduced as one "on whom the mantle of Susan 13. Anthony seems to have fallen." Dr. Maria Montessori. speaking for Italy, said she was one of the first fighters for suffrage in her country. Day Dawning In Persia. Madame Ali Kuli Kahn. wife of the Minister from Persia at Washington, a slender, dark woman, with fire in her voice, spoke eloquently of the coming out of their veiled seclusion of the . women of Persia. She said they would have had the suffrage by now. but when on the point of bestowing it the men decided to wait until the women were better educated. As a result of this all the women, the married ones and the young girls, are zealously studying, seeking to prepare themselves for the ballot. The Persian men seem wise in this and also in the decision that if a family has a son and a daugh ter, and they cannot afford an educa tion for both, they shall give it to the daughter, as she is the motner of the race. Short addresses by Mrs. Margaret Zane Cheridon, of Utah, the only woman who ever sat in an electoral college, and Mrs. Bird Wilson, of Nevada, brought the Western women into the sym posium. Mrs. Sara Bard Field, formerly of Portland, made one of the most stirring addresses of the session on "The Waste of Woman" in seeking the ballot state by state the waste of her strength and her energy and her money.

Hillis was uttered while Dr. Hillis was in Portland last July as a lecturer at the Gladstone Chautauqua. At that time Dr. Hillis was served with papers ;n a suit to recover on two notes aggregating $12,000, which had been given previously in favor of Bray ton & Lawbaugh.

In explanation of this incident Dr. Hillis then gave out an interview, say ing the $12,000 just paid represented debts which his two nephews had con tracted and been unable to pay. Be cause he had started them in the timber business. Dr. Hillis said, he felt It in cumbent upon himself to pay their ob ligations. In his complaint in the libel proceed ings Percy D. Hillis declares this state ment untrue. He said he had demanded a retraction, which had not been forth coming and therefore he demanded $50,000 damages. PHEASANT - PlCNlG HELD IK. R. .1.

At 2 o'clock everything was ready, and the meal was served at a long table in front of the log cabin.

DUMBA LETTER WILL PROVOKE NO ACTION Publication of Ambassador's Defense, However, Comes as Surprise in Capital. CASE NOT FULLY STATED Washington Says Austrian Put l"p Man of Straw to Knock Him Down Violation of Wireless Now Under Investigation. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. High offi cials indicated tonight that no further steps were contemplated against Dr. Constantin Dumba. the Austro-llun-garian Ambassador, on account of his letter to Secretary Lansing criticising the treatment accorded him by the American Government in connection with tne request for his recall. It was Jaid the possibility of hastening the diplomat's departure from tho country by handing him his passports had not been considered. Dr. Dumba's letter was received yes terday and was the subject of a confer ence between President Wilson and Acting Secretary Polk. No announce ment wr.s made, and at that time offi cials had no idea the Ambassador in tended to make the communication public, as he did last night in New York. Cane Only Partly Stated. The official view, as authoritatively explained today, of that part of Dr. Dumba's letter in which he sought to show that he had not been guilty of Improper conduct warranting a re quest for his recall, is that the Am bassador only oartiailv stated the case and "set tip a man of straw to knock it down." The letter defended at length the rignt cf the Ambassador to inform na tionals of his country that they were violating Austro-Ilungarian laws In workinft in plants turning out muni tions of war for the allies. It was pointed out by officials that this point was not in Issue, but that the reason for the Washington Gov ernment's action was the following statement in the intercepted letter to his country: "I am under the impression that we could, if not entirely prevent the pro duction of war materials in Bethlehem and the Middle West, at any rate strongly disorganize it and hold it up for months, which, according to the statement of the German military at tache, is of great importance and which amply outweighs the relatively small sacrifice of money." Departure All That Is Asked. State Department officials have not' been informed of Dr. Dumba's plans for leaving the United Spates, although it is known he has asked his govern ment to order him home to make a personal report 'on his case. So long as he quits the country and does not appear again as an envoy in Washing ton, it is understood, the United States Government will not be disposed to question the manner of his going or the nature of his orders from Vienna. Regarding the Ambassador's charge in his letter to Mr. Lansing that he had not been allowed to communicate freely with his government and that a message giving his report on his ac- . T 1 TV . .' . YOU SAY "I'M WELL" BUT ARE YOU? TO ONE is really well who is dependent upon laxatives and cathartics for relief from a more or less chronic condition of constipation. Laxatives give only temporary relief and their after effects in tensify the very condition they are supposed to remedy. A few years ago, Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, the distin guished English surgeon.obtained some remarkable successes by the use of mineral oil in the treatment of chronic constipation. Since then, the mineral oil treatment has received the most thorough testing. The Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) has produced in Nujol a product that conforms in every way with the requirements of the medical profession. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drue. Its use will not pve quick, temporary refief. But INujol is a eenuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal contents, nd thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity.

Dr. Dumba's declaration that a brief confidential message sent by him to Vienna by wireless asking that he be recalled on leave was allowed to be oome public now is being investigated. This message was published by a New York newspaper and it was said today that efforts were' being made to dis cover whether the law prohibiting tele graph operators from divulging mes sages had been violated. With his letter Dr. Dumba inclosed a copy of memorandum drawn up by a Hungarian editor in this country and furnished to the Ambassador by Alex ander Xuber von Pereked. Austro-Hun-garian Consul-General in New" York. This memorandum was one of the docu ments taken from Archibald. the American newspaper correspondent in London. l The General Says: I believe in men. Organization is as important as money or mills to an industry. Know-why and know-now are essential to any success. Every one of us has to acknowledge that the same sort of military preparedness that fits a nation for its defense is the most effective principle in making an industry of any kind serviceable and profitable both to manufacturer and consumer. This great roofing organization is trained like an army Three enormous, mills officered and manned by the best-trained force ever enlisted in an industrial army three huge factories that are run like clockwork Military exactness in the securing and selection of raw material, and in every step from then on until the finished product is distributed and sold Constant readiness being prepared every minute for the work to be done the next Right there you have your finger on the great, essential reasons for the unfailing- satisfaction every user finds in F Fodocts Certain-teed Roofing simply has no superior. It is the best roofing that can be madeliy anybody anywhere, and we are justified in saying that it. is the best ??iade in the world. W e guarantee the one-ply for five years, two-ply for ten years, and three-ply for fifteen years. And that guarantee means the minimum life of Certain-teed Roofing. It will outlive its guarantee, you may believe. We also make Standard Quality and Competition Qual ity at lower prices. If you. want a cheaper roofing, that cannot bear the Certain-teed Guarantee, you can get it of us and get a better value, too. A manufacturer's guarantee is -worth just as much as. that manufacturer's standing and history indicate. The General Roofing Company is the largest institution of its kind in the world. It has a bigger and better equip- ment than any other concern in the business. When it began business, roofing cost two or three times as much as it does today and wasn't of as high quality. In other words the General has raised quality and lowered prices and today out of every five rolls of roofing sold one of them bears the Certain-teed label, and the Gen eral's sales represent 30 fc of the total volume of all makes of asphalt roofings and building papers. So we look back at the past with satisfaction and we look ahead to the future with, confidence. And we want every dealer in and user of our products to share that satisfaction and confidence, because we know we have the plants, the men and the goods to justify every bit of it. Your dealer will show you the Certain-teed Isabel. It means just as much to him as it does to you.
