COMMERCIALISM AND PEACE. NEWS comes from Faris that after years of effort and travel on the part of two Americans, Edward Albert Filene, of Boston, and John H. Fahey, of Boston and Washington, D. C, an international commercial en tente has just been reached which, in the opinion of diplo matists of that European capital, may prove in the future to be one of the greatest powers for world peace ever de vised. On the theory that the commerce of nations has led to more wars than probably any other one thing, Filene and Fahey, representing the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, with offices in Washington, set to work to bring about the formation of a sort of a Hague Teace Tribunal of the commercial world. They nave just succeeded, and with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, the international body of business men is now on the lookout for a man broad enough to act as "administrator." His salary will be large, but, Filene and Fahey say, "so must the man." Fahey is president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, with headquarters in Washington, but he is a Bostonian, and a former newspaper man. Filene, also a Bostonian, is vice-president of the International Con gress of Chambers of Commerce, a national councillor of ihe Chamber of Commerce of the United States and a permanent committeeman for the Sixth International Congress. The two Americans have been in Europe for months working for the world's business headquarters idea, and they will be there six weeks longer. They have visited England, Germany, France, Italy and most other nations, talking with statesmen, diplomats, business men and speaking before business organizations. "Our mission has succeeded," Filene told the United Press correspondent in Paris the other day. "The various nations have agreed to come in and we are now looking for the right man to act as administrator. Headquarters will be at Brussels, where offices on a small scale have al ready been opened. The idea, in a nutshell, is to prevent friction in the world of business; to furnish a medium through which the nations of the world can get better ac quainted in a business way. There will be an international organ in which will be published documents of interest to all, from a commercial viewpoint, and by means of this and other machinery at the disposal of the central bureau at Brussels, the differences may be aired and adjusted and understandings between nations arrived at. Once run ning smoothly, we expect the Brussels bureau to do much in the way of smoothing over many of the difficulties be tween the nations oi the world. Consideralbe friction has existed between France and the United States for months past, it is pointed out, be cause of a different way each nation has of looking at the tariffs and the manner of levying duties. The new ''com mercial entente" between the nations of the world, it is said, will go a long way in the future toward dispelling such misunderstandings. at least he may get some light on that deepest of mysteries the source of the laws that determine the ever-changing squence of styles. Chairman Stone, of the foreign relations committee in the senate, says he is certain some of the senators have been violating their oaths of secrecy because the newspa per reports of the senate's executive session are "inaccur ate and misleading." If this is true, we sincerely hope the senator's investigation may result in discovering the guilty ones and also punishing them. Senators' should not mislead the newspapers, but should tell the truth or noth ing. Rather suggestive though, isn't it; that the fact that the stories were untrue and misleading is what made the chairman suspect the source? Even the members of this styles committee do not pre tend that they do the determining themselves; they only assert the possession of advance knowledge of decisions to be handed down from some more remote court of ultimate jurisdiction, the authority of which is derived from whence nobody knows, or, at least, reveals. To complicate the situation, the executive committee of the coat-makers says that the docility of women to the decrees of abstract f ashion'is only seeming, and that they cannot be coerced. The dispatches say Huerta was more popular after he resigned than before. There are many cases in this coun try where the same results would follow some resigna tions; that is, it is supposed they would, but unfortunately the resignations never take place and the results can therefore be only guessed at. The Oregonian is working the old tariff eame to a fraz zle. If the price of an American product is advanced, it whimpers, "How does the poor consumer like that?" and if the price goes down, it, with tremulous and white lips, asks, "How does the poor farmer like the Underwood tariff now?" WHO MAKES THE STYLES? SOMETHING likj war seems to have broken out be tween the executive and the styles committees of the associated manufacturers who supply women with coats. The styles committee, after such solemn deliberation as the importance of the subject deserved, decided,'and pro claimed that coats for immediate sale should be short, and those for the fall trade long, or, at any rate, longer. The executive committee protests against this arbitrary ruling and declares against any attempt to impose uni formity of design on the American manufacturer or of dress on the American woman. The one, insist the executives, shouldn't stand it and the other won't, but both should be left free to follow the dic- tates of genius and taste. Here is a quarrel into which the uninitiated layman would fear to venture with an expression of either opinion or advice, but he will watch it attentively in the hope that Lapp & Bush, Bankers Transactja General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes Traveler's Checks If when Huerta lands at Jamaica he adopts the national beverage good old Jamaica rum instead of'the mescal he had been used to, he will think another revolution has started, with headquarters in the amidships of him. With four drownings at Portland Sunday, and one here, with perhaps half a hundred in the United States as the day's toll, it would seem that water is about as deadly as the much condemned alcohol. .

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER IS THE GRANDEST TYPE IN THE EYES OF GOO AND MAN. IF A MAN CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN HE OUGHT TO 00 AS JESUS DOES. IF YOU SAY YOU'RE A BARBER OR A CARPEN TER I EXPECT YOU TO CARRY ON THE BUSINESS DISPLAYED BY YOUR SIGN. I DON'T GO TO A HARNESS SHOP TO GET SHAVED, TO A DARBER SHOP FOR A LAWN MOWER. If you're a Christiun the world has a right to expect yon to show it or else t.tko down your sign. For a man to be a member of u clnireh and not live a Christian lifo is m much out of place as a W.

TO DlSCAED FBECKl.ES, TAN, PIMPLES, WRINKLES The use of creams on the face some times causes hair to grow. You can avoid the risk of aciiiring superfluous hair by avoiding cosmetics and using niereolizod wax instead. There is not!. ing better for any condition of the skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offensive cutielo. The latter is natur ally replaced by a clear, smooth, healthy complexion, full of life and expression. It s tho sensible way to discard u freckled, tanned, over-red blotchy or pimpled skin. (Jet an ounce of inoreol ized wax ,at any druggist's and apply nightly like cold cream, erasing in the morning with soap and water, it takes a week or so to complete the transfor mation. The ideal wrinkle cradicator is made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. Uathing the face in the solution brines almost instantaneous results. TALKS ON THRIFT. Saving for a Home. "Thrist and providence lire primary qualities necessary to all who are to make the most out of life and its op portunities." Mayor Newton 1. La ker, of Cleveland. Ihere have been many plans to force the habit of thrift upon people other wise careless of their savings, but it is jloubtful if any other system excels that which a man voluntarily assumes when he decides to acquire ownership of his own home by means of monthly payments, covering priucipal and inter est of the loan. So fickle is the human mind that the only absoluto guarantee of carrying out a good intention is to make it impossi ble to violate it, and that is practically what is done when a man puts himself in a position where he must keep up certnin regular payments or run the risk of losing his homo. Every normally constituted man has the ambition some time to own the root' over his head. It is the best way to live. To accomplish this object, the aver age man who must depend largely upon his own efforts, lequires energy, self reliance and a determination to over come all obstacles. If he starts a savings bank account and makes weekly deposits therein to accumulate the first cash pnvnient in Variably required of a bouse builder or buyer, he will learn lessons ot methoc. order and punctuality in business ar rangements that will stand him in good stead when ho undertakes to swing the house-owning proposition later on. And even if you don 't make a life "onu of tho first house vou buv or build, nevertheless you are doing a wise tiling to save and invest in this way. This is illustrated by the typical ex perience of a voung couple who started housekeeping in a New Jersey suburn ot iew York a few years ago. With the aid of one of the building and lean associations which abound iu New Jersey, they built a house, after having pant lor their" rqt with savings withdrawn from the baii for tho pur pose. At the end of several .yinrs they hart an equity in the property Amounting to about $1,00(1. At that time thre came to this man nn especially good busines: opportunity iu another state, and h was compelled to sell nis home iu order to move. in is ne was nnic to do casiiv, receiv- ing a gooil cash payment on the piop erty and a second mortgage for the bar ante (the building and loan association holding the first mortgage, which was assumed by the new buver of the house.) So the original home builder now bar the income from the mortgage to add to his other earnings, while his successor in the ownership of the house is stead ily increasing his equity by mouthU payments, and in time will own his homo free and clear It is plain that fortune must fairlv take some of us by the nape or the neett and hold us to force riches upon us. Few wage-earners, or salaried persons, following their own sweet wills, acquire a competence through willing thrift and abstiuence. Many there are who are evc,n now reaping dividents from long years of compulsory saving, who have been enriched by the experience in spite of themselves. Start a savings account, buy a home and force vonrself to have. T. D. M'GRKGOR.
