WORK IN EUROPE CITED
Xurse Who Has Seen Service on Sev
eral Battlefields Tells What
. Women If ave Done to
Alleviate Suffering.
NEW YORK, May 9. Miss Kathleen
Burke, - who returned recently from
Europe, where she has seen service as
nurse on several European battle
fields, has been arousing- much enthu
siasm here by her talks in which she
has urged girTs to begin at once to pre
pare to do their part in possible war.
Illustrating what women can do. she
described in addressing the Vacation
Association of New York the part that
the sex has played in the alleviation
of suffering1 and the horrors of the war
now in progress.
Miss Burke is honorary secretary of
the Scottish Women's Hospital, and
told of the work being done in Bel
gium, Serbia and France by the five
units of the hospital corps. A sixth
unit, to be known as the American
unit, because money from this country
paid for the equipment, will go out
within a few weeks. Miss Burke has
been decorated by three countries. She
has seen service on several battle lines,
and only recently returned from the
Island of Corsica, where she helped In
the work of attending- 6000 refugees.
In Serbia her unit battled with
typhus. They took over the work that
was being done by the staffs In the
Serbian hospitals and reduced the death
rate from 85 to 12 in each hundred.
In her address to the women Miss
Burke cited a remarkable lesson in
preparedness. She told of . group of
women who took their places In Bel
gium within three weeks after the out
break of the war. The women not only
served as doctors and nurses, but -they
drove ambulances to and from the firing
line.

plant at St- Helens, the North west-Wil

Peninsula plant. The latter will be
ready to begin work within a few
weeks. Several thousand skilled men
will be employed in the aggregate, at
these three plants alone. Other minor
shipbuilding enterprises are in the em
bryo. Some of them may develop into
material factors for future develop
ment. i
Bankers report, too, that on account
of the enormous demands made in th
last year or two by many Eastern
manufacturers some of them are seek

Allies AVI 11 Be Conciliatory.
The allies, unquestionably, will make
a reply of a conciliatory character,
which will not remove the main causes
of dissatisfaction in this country.
The uestion has arisen whether it
would not be advisable for Germany
to make a treaty with the Vnited States
imilar to the Bryan treaty with Great
Britain. In a recent announcement.
Secretary Iansinjr made a statement
which has been interpreted as an in-
itation to Berlin to make overture to
this end. It is extremely doubtful,
however, that the Senate would ratify
uch a treaty with Germany in view of
the certainty that appeal would be
made to it in order that the German
Admiralty might be free to resume
without fear of complications with the
United States its "sink on sight" policy
while the investigation was in progress.

CONFERENCE COMES TO END

A re.eal
To be more than a mere "scrap of paper a guarantee must be absolute and backed by a concern
able and willing to make it good. The General's guarantee is not only absolute; it is backed by
a business operating the world's largest roofing mills, and making one-third of all the roll roofing
made in America. That's the guarantee behind : '
Ceriain-teed
3S5
The guarantee is for 5, 10 or IS years, according to
ply (1, 2 or 3). There is no evasion about it no at
tempt to substitute a high-sounding something "just as
good." There is no substitute for a real guarantee.
You get an absolute guarantee on CERTAIN-TEED
because the General knows that no better roofing can
be made. Its raw materials and method of manufac
ture are both certified by the General's board of grad
uate chemists, and he knows he's taking no chance in
guaranteeing them'to you. That's what "CERTAIN
TEED" means certified and guaranteed. Experience
has proven that the guarantee is conservative, and that
Roofing
CERTAIN-TEED will outlast the period of guarantee.
The roofing felt, as it comes bone dry from the roller?,
is given a thorough saturation of a special blend of soft
asphalts, the formula of the General's board of expert
chemists. It is then given a harder coating of another
blend of asphalts. This keeps the inner saturation soft,
and prevents the drying-out process so destructive to
ordinary roofing. Roofing is impervious to the ele
ments only so long as the asphalt saturation lasts.
CERTAIN-TEED retains its soft saturation, and is in
good condition for years , after the harder, drier kinds
have become useless.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rollsj also in late-covered thingles. There i a type of CERTAIN' -TEED for every kind of rniHdinc, with
flat or pitched roof, from the largest $ky-craper to the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN -TEED is sold by rcuponsible defers
ail over the world, at reasonable prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of roof.

The final matter dealt with in the
resolutions was that of the penal code,
stating" that: "Whereas, the object of
our penal code is the protection or
society and the reformation of the
criminal, and not the infliction of re
venue: and. whereas, under our exist
in? code, rigorous disproportionate sen
tences have a tendency to create con
firmed criminals, be it resolved that
the conference favors a wider use of
the indeterminate sentence."
California Report Resid.
7 he adoption of the resolutions was
followed by a report on the California
State Conference of Social Agencies,
May 1-6. 1916. by rr. W. T. Foster,
president of Reed College and acting;
president of the conference. In relat'
ln&r various incidents connected with
the Oregon and California conferences.
he deplored the indifferent - attitude
which the government and the people
of botn states were apt to take toward
questions of feeble-mindedness.
"At the California conference," he
said, "it was shown that the state
was paying- more than 15.000.000 a year
for the support of the feeble-minded,
Insane, defective and other socially un
fit members of the population,, and
practically nothing; for the prevention

annually spends thousands of dollars
toward the advancement of the scien

tural plants, but nothing toward the
problem of securing: rational mating-

"California appropriated $15,000 last
year for. forwarding the Industry of
manufacturing vinous liquors, an in
dustry of doubtful value to society, but
refused to contribute the same amoun
for public instruction in social hygiene.'
In spite of this characteristic public
disregard of social problems. Ir. Fost
pointed out that many of the great
social reforms which were thought im
possible of solution only a few years
ago were now solved, and that there
was no reason to believe that the prob
lems or today will not be solved in th
near future. "A few years ago it was
thought that abatement ordinances,
compulsory health certificates for mar

spirituous liquors were measures whlei

surrd of substantial support from a re
united party at the Chicago conven

Governor Brumbaugh' name Is the
only one which appears on the Kepub

the ballot as a candidate for President
Opposing factions have, however, se

elected will support Mr. Wilson. The
principal Democratic fight is for the
state's reprefentatlve on the National

It Is the general belief that Mr.
