Washington, D. C., Oct. 27.
Plana for the International Labor
Conference to convene In Washing
ton, October 29, have been practi
cally completed by the Organizing

assembling of the delegates work
can begin at once upon the interna
tional questions involving labor
which under the terms of the Peace
Treaty it is hoped to bring to a solu

Shorter hours of work, universal
recognition of the seriousness of the
unemployment problem, the adop
tion of maternity insurance and
progress in many nations toward
proper protection for women and
children against industrial hazards,
especially legal safeguards against
their employment at night or in
dangerous processes, are some of the
questions to be presented to the con
ference.

Asserts New Discovery
Brings Blessed Relief to Rose
and Hay Fever Sufferers
Can Make It Yourself At Home At Trifling Expense
In spite of all the doubters and
scoffers, a man In Kentucky, who
changed his annoying and distress
ing hay fever into less than a mild
cold, claims most emphatically that
if taken in time hay fever can be
conquered or at least made so harm
less that it is not even bothersome.
He gave his discovery to scores of
other sufferers with the most re
murkable results and has recently
been prevailed upon to dispense it
through pharmacists to all hay
fever sufferers who still have faith
that nature has provided an effective
remedy for this common yet miser
able disease.

MONDAY EVENING,
Gross Estate of
$810,607.88 Is Left
by Theodore Roosevelt
New York, pet. 27. Theodore
Roosevelt left a gross estate at the
time of his death at 5810,607.83, ac
cording to affidavits filed last week
with Transfer Tax Appraiser James
N. Gehrig by George Emlen Roose
velt, one of the executors of tile will.
From the gross amount will be de
ducted 533 ( 898.72 for funeral ex
penses, counsel fees and dfebts, to
gether with executors' fees not yet
computed.
By the terms of the will the en
tire estate goes to the widow, Edith
Kermit Roosevelt, in trust to be dis
posed of among the children in any
portions she may decide upon.
W. H. Taft Eulogizes
Americanism of T. R.
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 27. ln
an address that may become his
torical, William Howard Taft deliv
ered a principal eulogy on the Roose
velt Memorial celebration last night
in the Doolsey Hall Auditorium.
Hundreds stood and many were
turned away. Major Hiram Bing
ham, of Yale University, presided-
Mr. Taft evoked repeated applause
when he eulogized the Americanism
of Roosevelt and asserted this coun
try never needed Roosevelt's cou
rageous spirit more than at present.
His accomplishments and his dy
namic purpose were also roundly ap
plauded as sounding the keynote in
Roosevelt character.
And best of all this remedy costs
almost nothing. Get a one ounce
bottle of Menthollzed Arclne at any
drug store, pour the contents into
a pint bottle and fill the pint bot
tle with water that has been boiled.
Then gargle as directed and twice
daily snuff or spray each nostril
thoroughly.
That's all there is to it; so simple
that a lot of people will say that it
can't do the work; but oftentimes
simple natural remedies are tho best
as you will find after using.
If you will make up a pint and
use it for a week or ten days you
need not be surprised if your unwel
come yearly visitor fails to appear.

who have been observing game life
to have more wild turkeys now than
for 25 years, according to Seth E.
Gordon, acting secretary of the State
Game Commission, who has return
ed from some visits to central and
southern counties. The weather con
ditions [have been faw>rable for
propagation and the State authori
ties have bought numerous kinds of
birds and turned them loose to breed.
In some sections vyhere turkeys had
been almost extinct this plan has
resulted in notable increases. Flocks
of as high as 25 birds have been re
ported from some counties to the
Commission ofjlces. The wild turkey
season opens November 15 and lasts
15 days.

brought out the fact that taxicab
riders in Philadelphia were paying
more than SIOO,OOO annually in ex
cess fares, so that the taxicab com
panies could pay the enormous fees
demanded, that City Solicitor Con- i
nelly made kno.wn his intention to

Ex-Governor Martin G. Brum

"Subjects of State government are in

cused of criticising or attacking him.
I can only say that I am in hearty
support of the present Governor in
all that he has done. I believe this
is my duty. lam for the League of
Nations. I don't care who knows it.
We were led to believe the League's

believe 90 per cent of the people in
America believe this and are for the
League."

Governor Assails
Bolshevik Ideas
In a vigorous speech at Chester
on Saturday night Governor William
C. Sproul declared that the great
labor and social unrest in America
was being caused by 5 per cent of
the population, representing foreign
countries. The Governor scored
Bolshevikism and I. W. W.'sm in the
most bitterest terms, when the Chief
Executive delivered the keynote ad
dress at the uriveiling of a bronze
tablet at the I. O. O. F. Temple.
The ceremonies were in honor of sol
diers who paid the supreme sacrifice
in the World War conflict and were
niembers of Upland Lodge of Ches
ter. More than 500 persons heard
Governor Sproul deliver his message
against un-Americans.
"We haven't filled our duty to our
country," said Governor Sproul, "for
it's up to us Americans to finish the
job we started when the United
States plunged into the war arena
that memorable April day in 1917."
Continuing he said:
"There are to-day in America 95
per cent Americans. The other 5
per cent are trouble-makers and
their agitation is the cause for the
unrest in the industrial fields. We
cannot tolerate the doings of these
anarchists and red flag wavers. 80l-
