UNITE TO PROMOTE BETTER RELATIONS First Pan-American Society Dinner to Be Held in ' New York Tonight.

j (National Newi Association) NEW YORK, May 27. Tbe arst dinner of the Pan-American Society of the United States, will take place at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York City, this evening. This Society recently organized for the development of more friendly relations between the United States and the other American Republics intends that this dinner shall be the most notable of its kind ever held in this country. It is given in honor of the Secretary of State of the United States and the Ambassadors and Ministers of the Latin-American countries which comprise the Pan-American Union. All of the twenty-one independent American nations will be represented at the table by their highest diplomatic 'officers In Washington. The addresses to be made on this occasion will be of international interest. Secretary Knox is expected to take advantage of this opportunity to outline his ideas as to the Pan-American" policy of the United States, follow ing his recent visit to, many of the countries of Central and South America. Ambassador da Gama of Brazil, who is regarded as one of the most brilliant statesmen of South America, and a probable future President of Brazil, will speak on behalf of the X-a tin-American Diplomatic Corps. Welcomed by White. ,Hon. Henry White, formerly Ambassador of France in his capacity as President of the Pan-American Society, will welcome the"' distinguished guests. President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, will outline New York's interest in PanAmerican relations, and Hon. William Sulzer, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, will speak on behalf of the Congress. In speaking of the work of the PanAmerican Society today, Frederic Brown, it's secretary said: "There has never been a time in the history of this country when the question of our relations with Latin America was more vital than it is today. The near opening of "the Panama Canal is bringing our people and our Government fact to face with new problems and new conditions which by reason dt ancient opinions and preconceptions they are hardly prepared to meet. The world's ;trade routes will be( changed and changed permanently; trade conditions both within and without the United States, will be modified. New fields of commercial development will be opened up and old ones greatly enlarged, not merely because of the new facilities but because of the great publicity that will be given to hitherto obscured opportunities. We need an , outlet for our Industrial energies. We will soon need new sources of food supply, and perhaps in timean outlet for j our "overflow population.' These things bate lo'ng been realized by the leading men of Latin America, and are being gradually perceived by the people of this country. Don't Like America. ; "What do we know of these neighboring countries? What do they know of us? We have had, and still have nvany misconceptions of those people, and on the other hand it must be admitted that many of them have had very mistaken opinions of us. They regard, us with much the same favor as a 'Kansas farmer does a cyclone. Even ttie smaller number among them who look to us for their industrial salvation, do so with infinite regret, regarding us as an evil though a necessary oie. ..',' ... . .. r ."How then shall we approach them? How shall we bring about amicably the inevitable intermingling of ideals ,ahd civilizations so antagonistic at present? Mere commercial relations will do little. A mutual understanding must be established, a knowledge of what each is and what each feels, so essential to an equitable basis between Nations. And only one thing can bring this abbut, which is personal contact and association between the leading men of the arious countries. "Such an ideal has brought the PanAmerican Society into being, yet functions is neither political nor commercial; it Is purely social, yet social in a. large sense. The Society was organized last February and already numbers among its members men of the highest standing In their . respective spheres; bankers, lawyers, merchants, journalists, diplomats all active in fostering social relationa between North and- Sooth Americans."- ' " Easily Got Ovsr.

Cook Laarnsd ths Secret of Their Utility From an Insect. Ransom Cook was little known outside of the Tillage of Saratoga, where he lived, but he gained a small fortune from a carpenter's bit, invented by him, which has been n common use for years. This device has two lips, protruding slightly above the edge and opposite each other. Simplicity itself, but the world never had such a bit until Cook made It, and an insect taught him how to do it. Sitting down on a recently felled pine tree one day outside Saratoga, he heard the crunch, crunch of something inside the log. Curious, he Investigated and saw that an Insect of the bettle family was boring into the wood at one end of the prostrate tree. And the hole was lengthwise. Moreover, it was perfectly smooth. Cook had no bits in his kit that would make such a hole without slivering the interior so that It would be rough. Procuring an ax, he chopped off the end of the log where the Insect had been working, split the section and, capturing the beetle, took it home and examined it under a microscope. Then the secret of the insect's ability to bore smooth horizontal holes in any kind of wood was revealed. The beetle was provided with powerful nippers on either side of its jaws, and they operated in precisely the same manner as do the small blades of the bits which he immediately Invent ed. patented and put on the market. "Beetle bits" were the foundation of bis fortune. New York Press. City Statistics . Marriage Licenses. Arthur R. Barns, 23, mouider, Selma, Ind., and Agnes E. Fisher, 19, seamstress, city.

EMERSOUO SPEAK At Banquet Tuesday Night on "Efficiency."

Harrington Emerson, of New Yofk City, father of the efficiency movement in America, will be a speaker at the Commercial Club banquet at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow night. Mr. Emerson will take the place of Dr. E. A. Rumely of La Porte, one of the leading officials of the M. Rumely company, who has been called to Canada on business. Dr. Rumely secured Mr. Emerson to take his place. Mr. Emerson is one of the greatest authorities on efficiency in business methods in the United States. He is the author of several books on this subject and colaborated with Louis Brandeis in securing data to prove untrue the claims advanced by the railroads before the Interstate commerce commission that it would be necessary for them to raise their rates because of the increased cost of labor and maintenance. The figures compiled by Mr. Emerson and Mr. Brandeis showed that the railroads lost a million dollars a day through lack of efficiency in management. Banquet Program. S. E. Swayne Toastmaster.

C. E. DUFFIN, M. D. Aae you a suflerer from some Chronic Disease and have been told you cannot be cured? We are not surprised when patients come to us. after treating elsewhere, and say they did not get satisfactory results. Because perhaps they had not received the careful study and personal attention necessary by one whose whole time Is devoted to a few diseases. When you call at our office you receive a careful, thorough examination. This Is one reason why we give satisfactory results where others fail. When you take treatment from us you get the benefit of our best service, time, and attention, whether you p&y us much or little. By the large number treated we can fend do make the cost so small that hundreds get relief who otherwise must suffer. Our work is not a charity in any sense, but is practical business methods, with medical and surgical skill combined; but first, last and always the idea of giving the patient satisfactory results. Payment of fees arranged to suit the individual. . , Diseases Successsfully Treated by Our Metthods BLADDER AND KIDNEY TROUBLES are often caused by excesses, alcoholic liquors and severe sickness, the usual symptoms being highly colored secretion, with strong odor, chilly and feverish 6pells, worn out feeling, fullness under the eyes and swelling.
