Coolidge Wnnts
Peace Treaties
Cambridge, Mass, — Near the spot
where George Washington took com
mand of the continental army. Presi­
dent Coolidge called on the nations
of Europe to enter into mutual cove­
nants for their mutual security, pledg
lug the moral support of the American
government if they do so.
"W hile our own country should re­
frain from making political commit­
ments where It does not have politi­
cal Interests," he declared, "such cove
nants would always have the moral
support of our government and could
not fall to hare the commendation of
the public opinion of the world.
“Such a course would be sure to
endow the participating nations with
an abundant material and spiritual re­
ward. On what other basis can there
be any encouragement for a disposl
tion to attempt to finance a revival of
Europe.”
The president’s address, delivered
on historic Cambridge commons, was
the feature of the celebration of the
15th anniversary of the day Washing
ton assumed command of the con­
tinental troops.

German Population Same ae in 1908
Berlin.— Provisional figures of the
census taken last month show that the
population of Germany is, roughly, 62,-
500,000, excluding the Sarre region,
the population of which is estimated
at another 750,000. Thus the popula
tion of Germany is about the same as
it was in 1908, whereas at the out
break of the war it was roughly 68,-
000,000. It is estimated Germany lost
nearly 7,000,000 by the cession of var­
ious territories under terms of the
peace treaty, another 2,760,000 by
deaths during the war and 2,500,000
through a decreased birth rate during
that time.

Resistance to wear is probably the one quality you
look for first when selecting floor covering. And it
is that quality above all others w hich has been
built into Pabcolin.
_
____
Not linoleum, nor a substitute, but an improvement’
on printed linoleum—a floor covering with its wear­
ing surface composed of special enamel paint in­
stead of the usual soft oil-paint. <•
This hard, wear-defying surface rests on a firm ’ body’’« /
long-fiber rag felt, made for this particular purpose, end
thoroughly w a te rp ro o fe d by a special process.
It pays to buy Pabcolin because it give« you exfra-/ong aer-
vj'ce. It keeps its gloss and beautiful colors far longer than
you would suppose any printed floor covering capable, yet Ite
cost is no higher. Besides, you are offered a variety of beauti­
ful patterns—many are new and exclusive.
Let us show you Pabcolin. There are patterns suitable
for bedroom, bathroom, laundry, kitchen, porch, during-
room, hall, in fact for any room in the house.
