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.

accompanied by the Women's Relief
Corps, marched to the high school,
where the Post flag was presented to
the school with appropriate ceremonies.
In true Civil War style the old sol
diers camped in tents in Hill Park, on
the outskirts of the city, cooked their
Army rations, supplemented by a peace
time bill of fare, and at night gathered
about the campfire and exchanged rem
iniscences of the days of '61.

Alleged Ilbel Tttered In Portland.
The alleged libel complained of by
Percy D. 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. By paying the sum
sued fo;.- promptly by telegraph. Dr.
Hillis stopped the suit.
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.

place of Dr. R. J. Mercer, of this city,

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

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.

tivities had been held up by censors
in this country, it was said at the
State and Navy departments that noth
ing was known of such a message.
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.
