The object bf the conference Is to determine the basis of a congress of th Pacific, which ahould seek the mutual co-operation of th natlona of the Pacific area for common rnda. A number of men who have been promi nently Identified with the problems of the Pacific are to be heard, cither In person or through letters, Including Dr. Charlea W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard; David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Iceland Stanford university; Mabel T. Boardman, the chairman of the American tied Cross: United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and Sid ney, L Oulirk, missionary and author. According to a discussion of the situa tion hy Dr. F.llot, which waa read at the conference, condition should ba ripe for a Pacific eongrea In the early summer of lDIK, "because the results of the European war on International relation and on tride hetwea the Occident and Orient wtH, by that time, hav becom manifest." Dr. Eliot suggested that Honolulu would he a good piece for the con frees, and that the principal coun tries about th Pacific ocean should b represented for the consideration of mat ters of mutual Intereat. The succeaa of any Bitch eongresa would depend upon the general acceptance of certain principle of universal applica tion, he said, such as the policy of the "open door," and a league of Pacific powers to secure peace and the freedom of the ooean. Wll Prevent War la Kast. According to Dr. Uulick, a "great war be tween the eaat and west" waa threatening. Some atepa muat be taken, he sold, for Inducing the natlona to return to China what had been taken from It. ."If th weat forces China Into agreaslv mili tarism, and if China I compelled to seek safety and luetic at the point of the bayonet, th future of the world la In deed ominous," he said. He reviewed what he called the "per fidioua oours of the Inlted State in violating It treaties with China and Japan," and asked: "If w maintain that the United States was Justified la its disregard of it treaty with China, what right have w to condemn Germany ror it diaregara of It treaty with wigium r in nagre or the oonse- quanoes, Indeed, differ enormously, but are not the moral issue Identical?' Referring to the relations of this coun try with Japan, he aald that "Indefinite continuation of Japaneae patience under treatment regarded as humiliating is not to be assumed. If America deatr to maintain th historic friendship with Japan and do It Justice, w must first of all understand th real point of Ita contention. It Is not demandtng economic advantage or opportunity, but human Justice, respect of Japanese aa men. W need a campaign of education and a new policy which seems to require ser eral things, and among them an Immlgra tlon law that treat all race alike and that ahould admit only so many Immi grant aa w can Amtrtcaats, in order to preaerv our Institutions and prevent economlo disturbance." ward llaaar by s Hair. On other speaker. Frederick McCor mirk of th Asiatic institute, went o far aa to warn th conferano that "th "word hang by a hair over th p. elffcc," and that th coming shift of th world's balance of power "I certain to uncover th gauntlet' that lies between th two ctvlilsatlona lying between Asia and Amrrfea." Thla. he a!d. waa In dicated In a canvas of "eminent, private and confidential opinion" which he had made. He said "You will be able to Judge somewhat of th importance of our Pacific affair when I tell you that nearly all public men ar warned agulnat discussion of them, on what ar called public ground. "It Is to be espected that In the Pacific basin there will b duplicated on a far greater scale all that has happened In the Atlantic.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS To whiten and beautify the com plexion permanently we have found no better preparation than a lotion made by dissolving four ounces of spur max In one-half pint hot water, then adlnjr two teaapoonfuls gly cerin. This removes any pimples, ahlny,muddy or sallow appearance, and will make anyone's skin clear, smooth and velvety. It does not show or rub off like powder; in fact, It seems a part of the akin, and fof re moving tan and freckle Is un equaled. it u necesaary to enauipoo more frequently in the warmer weather because of excessive dust and the fact that the bead perspires more ana la usually more exposed to the weather. The easleet-to-use and quicKest-arying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers can be prepared very cheaply by dissolv ing a teaspoon! ul of canthrox, ob tained from your druggist, in a cup of hot water. This rubbed Into the scalp creates a thick lather, sooth ing and cooling In Us action, and very beneficial to scalp and hair After rinsing the scalp is fresh and clean and the hair dries quickly and evenly and takes on a bright lustre and soft flufflness that makes It seem very heavy.
