Increased Enrollment Given as Leading Cause. Besides calling for a million dollars for new state school buildings further increases in the amounts of appropria tions for the maintenance of Kansas educational institutions, averaging about 8 and one-half per centhigher than the 1913 appropriation, will be asked by the state board of administration when the 1915 legislature meets. The 1913 maintenance appropriation was about 18 per cent higher than that of 1911, indicating that the cost of man aging schools has increased more than a fourth in the past four years. This increase la said by the board of ad ministration, in Its recommendations to the legislature, to be less than the pro portion of increase in enrollment which on the average has increased about 20 per cent in all state educational insti tutions in the last two years. Besides additional expense for more teachers extra equipment and larger supplies, the board points out that cost of apparatus has Increased materially on account of the European war. The total increase is estimated will be a little less than $100,000 greater for 1915 and about $115,000 for 1916. The heaviest increases are estimated for the State Agricultural college, the State University and the Manual Training Normal schools.

And From the Outlook She Undoubt elly Will Get It. The weather today is disagreeable. It is in marked contrast to the ideal fall weather that was enjoyed by Kan sans for many weeks. The only favor able condition is that it may really rain or snow, and moisture is needed by the farmers. There is nothing uncertain about the forecast today. It reads "Rain or snow tonight and probably Tues day." There is no indication that there will be any decided change in tem perature in the next day or two, but real winter may be expected any time. Tho lowest temperature on this date in the last 28 years at Topeka was zero in 1909; the highest was 70 in 1894. Shippers' forecast: Protect thirty six hour shipments north and west against temperature of 26 degrees; east and south, 32." There was .07 of an inch of rain be tween 9 o'clock Sunday night and 4:30 this morning. Saturday night the pre cipitation partly snow was .04. Snow is on the way. In all proba bilities, it will be here before Tuesday morning. There is a possible chance that it will rain, but snow is expected instead. According to the weather man. the condition in the United States today is very unsettled, rains and snows hav ing been frequent from the Atlantic to Pacific coasts. There is only one place where the skies were clear, in southern California and Arizona, both places reporting light frosts. Snows extended from the Texas Panhandle country to Montana last night, west ern Kansas getting a share of it. The wind this afternoon is blowing four miles an hour from the northeast, an extremely light wind.

According to several officers who have returned from the firing line, these coeks have one ambition to prepare dinner for the victorious armies of the allies on the day they march into Berlin. Even the menu has been tentatively drawn up. It includes viands that will be agree able to all elements of the allied armies. NO INCREASE 131 SALARIES And Not a Dollar for New Public Buildings.

Estimates pre sented to congress today put the cost of conducting the government during tho fiscal year 1916. which begins on July 1. next- at $1,090,775,134. This sum is $3,392,962 less than the congressional appropriations for the current fiscal year ending next June 30, and $17,906,643 less than the esti mates for the current year.

Fifteen Thousand More Than Owned One Year Ago. Fifteen thousand more automobiles are owned in. Kansas than there were a year ago. Today the number of li censes issued for the present year ran over the 50,000 mark, applications for 130 new tags being found in the i morning's mail by Curtis Myers, who has charge of the licence business of the state. The last tag issued today was number 50,107. This means that Kansas now has more than fifty mil lions invested In motor driven cars, not counting motorcycles, of which there are now 8,004 under state li cense for the year ending July 1, 1915. The number of dealers' cars has not increased materially in the year, there being 1.076 or Just ten more than at the end of 1913. That leaves 49,031 which are in the hands of persons not engaged in the auto trade- Most of the new cars have been bought since the wheat harvest. At the beginning of the present fiscal year, July L there were S9.S39. More th"n len thousand have been bought since then, 11 WANTS $12,000 DAMAGES Relates Incident of Night Party and Drinking of Liquor. Claims That He Left Her in Ruined Physical Condition. Claiming that the defendant agreed to marry her, and then seduced her to his home where, against her wishes,, the defendant's relations with her were improper, suit has been filed in the district court by Myrtle Bas kins, 18 years old, against George Lee Crawford, 217 Branner street, for $12,000. The petition alleges t"at on March 4, 1913, CrawforC agreed to marry the plaintiff when she became 18 years of age, that time being February 3, 1914, and that on the evening of WAY TO THE FRONT December 25, 1913, .while the agree ment of marriage was still in force, the defendant wrongfully extended an invitation to the girl to visit him- at his residence. When she arrived at that place, ac cording to the claims of Miss Baskins, Crawford told her that she had a ser- ious cold and induced her to drink a i .1 l rr-v. CT glass of intoxicating liquor. claims that she objected to drinking the liauor but upon Crawford's earnest solicitation did so, and afterwards wanted to return to her home, but r f,j nMwti anil nerauaded her to remain with him all night. The Dlaintiff then alleges that Craw ford, taking advantage of her love and affection for him and her semi-intox icated condition made improper requests of her and the girl mindful of her prom ise and engagement to soon become his wife yielded. The plaintiff claims that she suf fered a severe nervous shock and has become seriously and permanently in jured as a result. Since that time it is claimed that she has been unable to earn anything and has been com pelled to pay out money for the ser vices of a physician. Crawford, according to the petition, failed to carry out his promise of marriage but continued to profess love and affection for the girl and again promised to marry her and neglected to carry out the second promise and continues to do so. According to Miss Baskins, she was at all times willing to carry out the promise of marriage. The petition also includes the German-American State bank in the suit for the alleged reason that Crawford has considerable money deposited in that institution. It is asked that Craw iora pi '"S t" money. it is ciaimea tnat in addition to the money, Crawford is the owner of con siderable property in this city and other parts of the state. The amount involved in the suit is $12,000. J. M. Stark is named as attor ney for the plaintiff.

A; comparison of the reports from Berlin and Petrograd leads to the conclusion that the Ger- A .iitw Lodz, from which city they were driven on their first rotront from Warsaw.' Berlin makes Dositive announcement that Lodz Is in pOSmve t. 1 their bands while fetrograa aamus that the situation there is desperate. If the fall of the city is a fact, it indicates that communication with Warsaw again is seriously menaced, but a semi-official statement from Petrograd declares that the Russians are strong enough to j hold the inva ders in northern Poland and will con tent themselves with doing this while devoting their main energies to the reduction of Cracow atid the Invasion of Hungary. i Hungary, according to reports from the Russian capital, is a weak point in the armor of the f Teuton allies. mine armor oi that even 'as early as at the time of the fall or Lemoerg, Austria. khbu Russia for terms of peace. The nego tiations to this end, if any really took place, apparently proved abortive. The story is again revived in Petrograd, in the form of a report that the Hun garian prime minister on a recent visit to Emperor William, demanded better military protection for Hun gary, lack of which would cause the loss of the kingdom. The latest French official communi cation declares there is nothing to re port on the western front and with the exception of a special dispatch to the effect that Ostend Is burning noth ing has been received in London to dispute the accuracy of this laconic statement.. The latest reports from Montenegro and Servia indicate that these Balkan allies, at bay in their mountain strong holds, are holding the Austrian invaders in check. On the water some minor activity has been noted resulting in the reported destruction of Turkish auxiliaries in the Black sea, by Russian submarines, de struction by mines of two Swedish mer chant ships off the Finnish coast, and the crippling by a mine of the famous Turkish cruiser Hamidieh. which is Lsaid to. have regained Constantinople with considerable difficulty. Diplomat ically interest is centered on Rome where the statement of former Premier Giolitti that Austria planned war against Servia in 1913 has caused some thing of a sensation. The Balkan states are said to be nearing an approchement which will enable them to make common cause against the Germanic allies. BIG RELIEF WEEK Kansas Must Make Good Her Belgian Promise. First Shipment of 50,000 Bar rels by December 15. Kansas must make good with her promise to give relief to the starving Belgians, and have the last of her first, shipment of -60,000 barrels under way by December 15. This Is expected to be a big week in the state among the campaign workers. The 10,000 persons who have been instrumental in raising flour and cash in the three weeks since the proposition was sprung, now have 200 carloads or nour in signt, and according to W. R. Stubbs, chair man of the central committee, there should be another 100 carloads to make up the first cargo of 50,000 bar rels. But that is not all.- Kansas is ex pected in consideration of her bumper crop of wheat, the greatest crop ever grown by any state in the country, to furnish a second ship load of 50,000 bar rels. This will mean continued and vigorous efforts. The demand on the Kansas mills has been so heavy that it has been difficult to purchase the grade of flour that is fjr"" wanted. The mills are working over time, and it is expected that Kansas will announce her first shipment by the middle of the month or soon after. KnouKh money was raised at the cen tral office of the Kansas Belgium Relief Fund in the Mills building this morning to purchase a big carload of flour. It came for the most part from various Kansas towns where there is no organ ization. There are some Topekans on the fContinued on Page Two. VOTE TO STAY OUT.

A roaring north easter today swept the Atlantic coast at 60 miles an ho. from North Caro lina to Maine. Chief among the many wrecks cast on the shore was an un known warship with four funnels and a fighting top, which went ashore yes tprriav noar rVain PUu Mil Tho ldn. terday near Ocean City, Md. The iden tity of the vessel was hidden by a cloak of fog, but her desperate plight was manifested by continual shrieking of her whistle for help, which could not be given because of the high seas. Lashed by the gale the ocean battered down the sea wall at Seabright, N. J., during the night and placed the town in imminent peril of destruction on the next high tide. Its streets were flooded, communi cation by rail was cut off, breakers were rolling over the chief thorough fares and undermining the foundations of principal buildings and there ap Peared every prospect that the damage would be great. New York bay and harbor were practically cleared of all craft by the gale. One fire boat was sunk at her pier. On the New Jersey shore of the Hudson a new high water mark was set. The big waiting room of the Lack awanna terminal was flooded and near ly all ferries discontinued. Along the coast of New England, the gale was especially violent. At Point Judith, R. I., a small schooner was torn from hr anchorage and thrown on the breakwater. Life savers seek ing to rescue the crew of a six masted schooner which struck Tuckernuck, shoal on Saturday have been unable for two da'ys to launch their boats. Flood on Coney Island. Portions of Surf avenue at Coney island were under water, the board walk at Brighton beach, ordinarily 100 yards from the shore was swept away. At Seagate, a $25,000 cottage, the prop erty of the J. M. Meyer estate was un dermined by the tide and toppled over. The waves then tore it apart and lit tered the shore with its contents. At Rockaway the situation was sim ilar. Several cottages there had been undermined. ,The storm worked considerable damage to the wires of the. telegraph companies. The Western tJnion re ported that while it was in communi cation with all points, its facilities had been seriously curtailed. Communi cation with several centers was estab lished by circuitous routes. The Postal Telegraph company said it was able to reach Pittsburg only by way of Baltimore. Both companies said they expected conditions on their lines would be normal by night. Streets Under Water. Seabright, N. J., Dec 7.

Men represent ing banking, railroads, manufacturing and various other interests, attended a meeting here today called by the Chi cago Association of Commerce to dis cuss the question of extending the eastern- time zone to the Mississippi river. The change would cause Chicago to get up an hour earlier and go to bed an hour earlier than under the present time. "We merely want to give citizens more daylight in which to work and recreate," said M. IT. Kimbark, chair man of the committee.

He estimates that he will die within three weeks from lack of food. He declares he will resist any attempt at forceful feeding. LAST CALL TO ARMS. Rotter, Dec 7. Berlin papers publish the following proclamation today:' "We, William, by God's grace German kaiser and king of Prus sia, command the following changes in conscript: '-That all those members of the landsturm who were not called out by command of August 15 are now called up, every one of them.

More than $53, 000,000 is estimated a for Improvements and maintenance of the nation's water ways and harbors during the fiscal year of 1916. which begins July 1, 1916. The great waterways require the larger part of the money. The total of the works is made up of a campara tively small number of large items and a comparatively large number of small items. The Mississippi river estimate is $10,500,000: the Ohio, $9,884,000; the Hudson, $3,670,000; the Tennessee, more than $3,000,000; the Columbia and the Missouri, $2,500,000 each; and the Del aware. $1,500,000.

STRIKE JO END Colorado Miners Decide to Re turn to Work Under the Terms of President Wilson's Peace Plan. Denver, Dec. 7. The Colorado coal strike will be declared off -tomorrow morning. After a conference with the national executive officers of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America, Presi dent John McLennan of District No. 15 of that organization, announced that a resolution would be offered to the special convention of Colorado miners here in effect taking such ac tion. The resolution will set forth that the Colorado strikers will, return to worif--iMider-he terms of- the three year- peace plan outlined by. President Wilson, some .time ago and will de mand that the Seth Low mediation committee, recently named by the chief executive, enforce the terms of that proposal.. McLennan said the officials expect the delegates from the various local unions of this district to vote to go back to work under the terms of this plan. He declared the tent colonies established by the union a year ago will not be broken up at once, but that all the persons in those colonies will be taken care of by tne national union until such time as they are oth erwise provided for. 0'his action was decided on by the miners' officers, because of the de mand made on the national organiza tion by the Ohio strikers who are facing a fight similar to that which has been waged in this state. HODGES IS NAKED Kansans Want Governor on Federal Trade Commission: Hundreds of Endorsements Are Sent to Washington. Washington. D. C, Dec 7. En dorsements for Governor George H. Hodges for appointment to the new federal trade commission are being received today by members of the Kansas delegation from prominent Democrats throughout the state. The boom for the retiring Demo cratic governor appears to be assum ing considerable proportions. Sena tor W. H. Thompson has been sup porting Henry J. Waters for the nom ination. Mr. waters is presiaem or the Kansas Agricultural college and was a member of a special federal commission to the Philippine Islands to Investigate educational conditions there. Five members are to be named and the announcement of the personnel of the new commission is expected to be announced at any time. The position pays $10,000 a year.

In the house, crowded galleries and congressmen of all three parties on the 1 floor, united in a remarkable oration to Speaker Clark as he mounted tbe dais and dropped his gavel at noon.

After Senators Kern and Gallinger had been appointed to join a house committee formally to notify President Wilson of the opening of the session the senate took a recess until 3 p. m. The house named Representatives Underwood, Fitzgerald and Mann to wait upon the president with Senators Gallinger and Kern, and then a resolu tion was adopted fixing 12:30 p. m. to morrow as the time of the Joint ses sion with the senate to hear President Wilson read his annual address.

President Wilson will deliver his an nual address, in person, tomorrow from the rostrum In the hall of the house before a Joint session, outlining the ad ministration program. Until that Is fully disclosed, the work which will be undertaken during the comparatively few remaining days In the life of thhs congress, which dies at noon March 4, remains undefined, except that the usual appropriation bills are likely to receive first and chief attention. Whether the Sixty-fourth congress, chosen at the November elections will be called in special session or will not assemble before another year no one can predict with certainty. After six weeks of respite from legis lative grinding, during which many participated in the political campaign, members of both houses assembled prepared to go on with the unfinished business left over from the last session. That the general appropriation bills would be difficult to complete before March 4, if much other legislation were to intervene, was the consensus of opinion among leaders of both dominant parties. Circumstances may arise from the European war or changed condi tions in Mexico that may be the de ciding influence in the meeting1 tune of tne next congress with its new host of Republicans in the house.

PJSTfiffl. SCHOOL ACTIVITY pr. Charles Will Ask Legisla tore for Larger Appropriation. fDont Send Boy Back Home After He Leaves" Corwlne. "Bending- a boy back to the lome from which he was taken to the Kan Ma Industrial school, is often like tak ing; him out of a mudhole, cleaning him and then throwing him back into the same mudhole." is the experience Of Rev. H. J. Corwlne, parole agent Of the school. The parole agent has Just submitted to the governor a re port of his work of the last year and his most serious recommendation is that except in unusual circumstances boys should never be returned to their own homes. i "Out of disordered homes flows our Bream of juvenile delinquents," said the report. "The home has lost its charm for the boy. if it ever had any charm for him. He would rather hobnob with loafers on he street cor ners or hang around pool halls or wander down back alleys than stay in such a home. To force him to do so, makes him incorrigible." It Is the belief of the parole agent and also of Dr. II. W. Charles, super intendent of the school, that most de linquent boys are the result of a fail ure of the father or mother to take steps to develop the child. The report of the school shows a large number of boys whose training had been sadly neglected so that when they reached the school at fourteen to sixteen they were really children of six and ten years, with the same ideas of Justice and freedom as a child. "If these children had been taken," said the superintendent, "when four to six years old, given kindergarten training, to develop their moral stamina, imag ination and religious impulses, instead of letting the children drift along, few Kansas boys would ever get Into the industrial school. They are stunt ed mentally, morally and physically and In most cases this could have been remedied '.t taken in time. Our school does all it can to remedy these conditions but the period from four to twelve years is such an important development period that whatever de velopment is lacking during that time an hardly ever be entirely overcome in the next fewiyears." Dr. Charles has asked the legisla ture to give the school an increased appropriation, the finest school equipment obtainable and a larger number of efficient teachers so that the school could' inrrpnm Itn .ffiplonrv In solving the -problem of the back ward child class that makes defec tives. .i r.' FRANK'S LAST CHANGE Supreme Court Rejects His Applica tion for a Review. Washington, Dec. 7. The supreme court refused today to issue a writ of review of Leo M, Frank's conviction of the murder of Mary Fhagan an At lanta, Ga., factory girl. The court upheld the validity of the Arkansas license tax upon foreign cor porations in the case of the St. Louis Southwestern railway company. The interstate commerce commission order which prohibited railroads from granting grain reshipping privileges at Nashville, to the discrimination of At lanta was sustained today by the court and the old commerce court's decision which had annulled the order was re versed. The commission had ruled that Atlanta and like points must have the aame privileges. as Nashville. f (Mnorrow I Breakfast Bacon Wolff's quality, guaranteed, 8 to 10 lbs. average per lb. by strip 17c Loin Roasts or Chops, per lb.

Hull of Topeka, who is part owner of the ranch, said that a nearby farmer sold a wagon load of seed for $998.20. Mr. Hull also said that they got four cuttings from much of their alfalfa this year. That is a mighty good showing for the northwestern part of the state. KILLED BY AN AUTO Curtis Bailey of Topeka Dies When Roadster Turns Over. Well Known Insurance and Real Estate Man Here.

Topeka Will Avoid Duplication in Giving to Needy. Through the efforts of the public welfare committee of the Topeka Commercial club a central 'registra tion bureau will be established the first of the year to facilitate the charity work in Topeka and avoid duplication in giving. Sixteen organizations and individuals interested in work among the poor, have agreed to co-operate with the bureau. Only one person will be required in a room in the Provident building, although it is understood that, the Provident association will have noth ing to do with the management of the bureau. The office will be main tained at comparatively little ex pense. A list of -ill Topeka charity cases will be kept at the registration bureau by means of the card system. When information is wanted concerning a case, the person making inquiry will be referred to the charity organiza tion or individual "that investigated the case. Not Until After Christmas. The committee regrets that it will not be possible to establish the bu reau prior to Christmas, as In former years there has been mifch waste in giving. Some families have received more than their share of provisions and toys. "We hope that Topekans will give generously this season," said Mr. Godard, "but they should give care fully. The actual needs of a family should be ascertained." The organizations and individuals that have promised to co-operate with the bureau are: C. N. Bacon, county commissioner for the poor; Mrs. S. H. Abbott, matron county Jail; Mrs. L. E. Thorpe, matron city jail; Hugh Mac Farland, juvenile court judge; Good fellows, Provident association; Red den mission, Salvation Army, Golden Rule club.

TURKEY IS At'lNE An Explosion Is Likely to. Occur at Any Time. ''-i Ambassador Morgenthau Stand' ing Guard Alone. REPRESENTS EIGHT imiS Has Prevented the Imprison ment of All Foreigners." All of Their Property Has Been Confiscated. (By Henry Wood, TJ. P. Staff Correspondent.) Salonica, via London, Dec 7. Turkey is a mine. A spark of fanaticism, likely to be struck at any moment, would cause an explosion which would shat ter all elements of Europeanism in the country. Foreigners are constantly menaced. Only superhuman day-and-night efforts by American Ambassador Morgenthau has prevented an Interna tional crisis.' Morgenthau how repre sents eight nations. Constantinople is practically isolated. There is only one line of rigidly cen sored telegraphic communication... Ev ery letter and paper is confiscated by Turkish border patrols. Foreigners are fleeing as from the plague. The bor der towns are filled with anxious men who dare not step on Turkish soil to rescue their womenkind. Refugees are only permitted to take fifty dollars in gold with them. If they carry more than this amount the au thorities confiscate it and give in re turn the depreciated Turkish paper. At Dedeoghatch there are 2,000 European refugees financially unable to proceed. The day I left Constantinople the government was permitting the de parture only of foreign women and children and holding all men who might bear arms upon return to their native country. They are threatening to im prison these men in the concentration camps- Ambassador Morgenthau is fighting this plan. The few thousand Europeans still remaining in Turkey consist of those financially unable to leave. Their condition is miserable. Morgenthau a Busy Man. Ambassador Morgenthau now repre sents the American, British, French, Belgian, Servian. Swiss, Danish, and Argentine interest at the capital. He alone has prevented the Turkish gov ernment, ablaze with determination to throw off European interference, from imprisoning all foreigners in the con centration camps. He and his staff have worked day and night since Tur key entered the war. The embassy has been open twenty-four hours a day. The ambassador or a member of his staff has personally accompanied most of the refugee trains to the border. When Turkish fury against Europe anism first struck, Morgenthau stoou alone between foreigners and Turkish reprisals. Before he could act all Eu ropean hotels, stores, factories, banks and schools had been seised. So far as can be known.- he has prevented vio lence to individuals. The Turks ward is not to be trusted. Scores of times- the authorities have promised non-interference, with the-departure of trains loaded with European refugees. Every time the police have held up the trains. The refugees com plained to the ambassador and ht hur ried to the ministry and requested safe conduct. The government apologized. Then the next day the same thing would happen. Morgenthau's only an swer from the Turkish authorities would be that they "forgot their prom ises." They Can't "Understand It. On the occasion of one of these in cidents, which I personally noticed the high government officials, to whom pro test was made, replied: "We can't un derstand your solicitude; we have not killed, hung or shot anyone yet." Wholesale arrests of prominent for eigners were the first steps the young Turks took. Their search for papers and private wireless stations was thor ough. Robert Frew, for years rector of the Episcopal church here, was a victim. The authorities seized every scrap of paper in his home, even in cluding his sermons for fifteen years. The foreign schools were taken over. In Constantinople alone seventy-five such institutions, valued at ten mil lion dollars, were seized and converted into hospitals, barracks or Turkish schools. Two American institutions Roberts and Constantinople colleges, alone escaped, although the wireless apparatus at the former place was de stroyed. As I left Constantinople the govern ment was seizing foreign-owned utility concessions, including the English naval construction yard valued at five million dollars. The French waterworks have also been taken over. The railroads to Damascus and Smyrna were seized on the day I left and the government officially announced its intention to take over all transportation, harbor and public utilities on the excuse that all foreigners had fled or been expelled and that none remained to operate them.

With storm warnings fluttering along the Atlantic coast from Cape Hatteras to Eastport, Maine, the gale that has been whipping the sea. menacing shipping for the last forty hours, was Increasing in intensity today and moving slowly northward from the Virginia capes, where it was 'centered this morning. The gale's force has been noticed from Cape Hatteras as far north as lower New, England and has been marked by general rains in the- mid dle Atlantic -and Southern New Eng land states. The unknown warship reported snore 'ott the Delaware coast is be lieved by navy department officials here to be one of a foreign- fleet. The safe arrival of two American de stroyers at Norfolk and a. report from the captain of the battleship Kansas that" he was' riding out of the storm off the Delaware capes disposed, safe ly of all the American war craft in the vicinity.- -No American warships answering the description of the fight er reported ashore four funnels and a fighting top is anywhere near that vicinity. Today, no word had come from the revenue cutter Itasca, which put out yesterday from Norfolk to aid the stranger. Navy, officials say If the ship is one of the foreign belligerents she probably is not using her wireless for fear of ii forming her enemies of her position. The velocity of the gale last night touched high records in some instances. At midnight the wind was blowing 72 miles an hour at Block Island, 60 at Nantucket. 60 at Sandy Hpok, 36 at Atlantic City. In Hampton Roads the old frigate Constellation rode safely at anchor after a perilous experience Saturday night when the gale parted her from her tugs. Small shipping in Chesa peake bay was damaged by the storm. Killing Time. "Why are you fooling so long with that clock. Hortense?" "I am cleaning its hands, madam." "Well, Just wipe 'em. You needn't manicure 'em." -Judge. The proprietor of a restaurant in Lakewood, N. J., recently found a dia mond valued at $160 in the gizzard of a chicken he was preparing for din ner. STATE SCHOOLS' COST IS HIGHER Continued from Page One.1 the board points out, is necessary to take' care of the rapid y grow ing enrollment, which in the past two years has risen between 15 and 25 per cent in the various school approxi mately 20 per cent. New teachers will be needed, extra equipment and ap paratus, which cost more, on account of the war, must be purchased, and salary increase must be provided, in order to keep the institutions at their present standard of efficiency. Current Expenses. This proposed increase for current expenses is distributed as follows: Institution 1916. 1916. University of Kansas ..S20.000 320.000 Agricultural college 30.000 45,000 State Normal school No increase. Manual Training Normal 20,000 20.000 Fort Hays Normal 8,000 10,030 School for the Deaf 3,500 3,5u0 School for the Blind 2,250 2,250 School of Mines No increase. School of Medicine and State Hospital 15,000 15.000 Fort Hays Experiment Station No in crease. Decrease of $2,500 each year on account of Increased receipts of grain and sale of live stock. Dodge City Experiment Station No in crease. Garden City Experiment Sta. Fo.- purchasing dairy herd 1,000 Tribune Experiment Sta. No increase. Decrease of $500 in 1916. Half of sta tion's expense is appropriated by county under law. State Fish Hatchery Maintained by fees. Last year the board took $18,325 from the maintenance fund of the university for public service work, and it asks the legislature to- add to this sum $7,500 for 1915 and $12,500 for 1916. This amount will take care of the increase in correspondence study, distribution of package libraries, assistance furnished women's clubs, and expert service ren dered cities and towns through the municipal bureau- It will also make possible the continuance of Merchants' Week, Journalism Week, Criminology and Charity Congresses, and similar events as annual Institutions. While Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, and other states pay from $80,000 to $110,000 each year to maintain labora tories for board of health work, Kan sas utilized her university equipment and faculty and students. This service also includes the sanitary engineering work of the state, inspection of weights and measures, preparation of weather reports, the conduct of surveys, and other activities of the state. The board asks $7,500 to carry on this work. With the heavy demands made upon the agricultural experiment station by the farmers of the state the lines of experimental work must of necessity be increased. Each year the work becomes more costly because experiments as they progress require more apparatus as well as more time on the part of the scientists. The increase of $10,000 recommended for each of the following two years will be only sufficient, the board says, to continue the work now in progress without loss of efficiency. While the extension department of the Agricultural college is performing effective service for boys and girls through clubs, for housewives through demonstration schools, and for farmers through institutes, movable schools, and short courses, the appropriations made by the federal government will enable the institution to carry on ex tension work during the next two years without increase of appropriations. The federal money available is that allotted to the state by the Smith Lever act. TODAY'S MURKET REPORT Chicago, Dec. 7. WHEAT Bullish ca bles today strengthened wheat. Liverpool reported that supplies going to the con tinent were below requirements as to quantity. There were also assertions that exports from India would be prohibited. Rains In the domestic winter crop belt, where drought has recently been com plained of. tended however, to check bull ish sentiment. After opening c to e higher the market eased off a little from the top figures at the start. Advices that storms were again inter fering with the Argentine harvest led af terward to a fresh upturn. The bulls were also helped by a substantial decrease in the visible supply total. The close, how ever, was weak at a shade to c under last night. CORN Adverse weather gave only tem porary firmness to corn. Buy'ng was only of a scattered character. The opening, which ranged from c to c high er, was followed by a sag that offset all of the advance. Big receipts acted as a drag on prices, although there was some belief that to day's arrivals represented the crest of the movement. The close was weak, c to c net lower. OATS Oats fluctuated with other grain. Changes though were narrow and trade light. PROVISIONS Business in the provision pit was virtually at a standstill. Quota tions held steady.

The Real Secret of Healing Rupture To successfully co-operate with Nature In the work of healing, the supporting de vice must be so constructed that the rupture-retaining part overlaps and draws together the breached opening In stead of pressing directly into it. The trusses of today are sadly lacking In this quality. They nearly all give that direct pressure into the opening, which can not help but enlarge It, making it that much harder to retain the bowel later on. resulting In uncontrollable rup ture with serious complications The SCHUILINS RUPTURE LOCK was invented to overcome Just such faults.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The Stats Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. MEMBER: Associated Press. Andlt Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' As sociation. Germany has a right to be uneasy over the prospects of Italy joining forces with the Allies. Christmas turkeys are reported to be scarce in London, but not to such an extent, probably, as they are in Belgium. In all probability the United StateB will never have any use for that great est submarir.3 in the world which it is planning to build. Only sixteen shopping days remain before Christmas. Are you going to do yours early, or are you going to wait until the last minute to your own annoyance and to the burden of clerks of the nearly wornout variety? Contemplating the suggestion that everything comes to those who wait, Topeka should not despair. The long projected interurban line between Kansas City and Topeka is expected to reach Lawrence by December, 1915. Nor does the Federal League ap pear to be overly particular in the choice of the material with," which It will continue the baseball "war. It picks up Rube Marquard with the same avidity that it does Walter John son, although not at the same price, of course. Nor is the coal man likely to think that he Is getting a square deal from the weather man. In fact the latter is always on the outs with one or more classes of folk, all of which is only more proof that it is impossible to please everybody. If you are planning to contribute to the relief of the Belgians give now. Their situation Is becoming more des perate every day. And remember that it takes a little time to get flour from Kansas to Belgium even under most expeditious conditions. No doubt now about the war cor respondents being careful with the truth and as explicit with details as Is possible. They are particular to report that the Prince of Wales Is within the "sound" of the guns In the western arena of the war. Unless there were other sources of Information, no one would judge that the greatest war of all time is being fought In Europe from the news that the German military authorities per mit' to be sent out of Berlin. The bulk of it deals with everything but the war situation. This great European war also has paradoxical qualities. Regardless of the Immense number of men who have been killed, wounded and cap tured, and the huge quantities of munitions that have been rtilized or destroyed, each of the belligerents in sists that its forces in the field are much larger and better equipped, stronger, In fact. In all particulars, than they have been at any time since the war began. Just why the American troops were sent to Vera Cruz and why they were withdrawn at this time is a military mystery on which many people would be pleased to obtain fa little enlighten ment from the wiseacres at Washing- ton. But a more inexplicable mystery of this sort concerns why American troops are stationed on the border line between Arizona and Mexico. They seem to be of no service there whatever unless it be as. easy targets for the stray bullets that float across the line from the intermittent engage ments between the belligerents on the Mexican side of iC So fr fourteen of these troopers have -been more or less seriously injured In' this fashion. Civilians have received the same medicine In larger doses. ;But with the civilians the situation 'Is a little -different. Nothing but their own in clinations keep them In this danger .nn Thpv biw rrpp to a-pr. nut or it if they choose to leave their business and their homes. But the United States soldiers cannot do this. They are stationed there tinder orders. And no matter how much they are hatter ed up by bullets and shells they can make no reprisals. What's the reason that they are exposed to death and Injury in this fashion? VALCE OF MENTAL HTGIENE. j Th duties of a physician no looser consist simply of the dispensing of pills and Dowders from a. nair of saddlebags I as in the days of our fathers. He Is now frequently called upon to give an j opinion as to whether a certain water is safe for drinking purposes, whether a j given article of food is suitaniy aaapieu to the needs of the human economy to furnish fuel and energy to sustain life. He may be called upon to give advice of a technical nature as to the sani tary construction of homes or work- han. r..U-lnA nhioh onlla for a knowledge of engineering as in the drainage of ponds and ditches for the prevention of malaria. In addition to these duties he may oe called upon to render an opinion as to the mental status of an individual especially in cases of a legal nature in which a question arises as to the mental capacity of a person making his last will and testament, or whether an In dividual was of sound or unsound mind at the time he is alleged to have com mitted some crime. A further responsibility has been placed upon physicians as brought out In an article on Mental Deficiency in a recent Issue of the Public Health Re ports which deals with certain public health aspects of mental deficiency with reference to this condition among school children. It is pointed out that while school children and others may be suspected of being mentally defec tive, it will fall to the lot of the xhv sician to make the final decision which will classify these persons as feeble minded. The disposition of these cases, that is, whether they shall be placed In special classes or separate Institutions will largely depend on the judgment of the medical examiner. Increasing attention is being paid to the question of mental capacity among school children In relation to school work. When at child is fiund to be backward in school there will usually be found' some cause for his lack of progress and In determining the cause it is necessary to inquire thoroughly into his physical and mental condition. By this means it may often be possi ble to institute corrective and preven tive measures which will decrease the ill effects of feeblemindedness and en able the backward child to reason and to care for himself. Reasoning power in the normal person enables him to view new situations and solve new problems. And it Is this ability to rea son and to meet the various problems of life as they arise which distinguishes the normal from the defective mind. The new physician must be able to es timate the varying degrees of defection In order to advise hygienic measures that will contribute to their reduction. BAD TEETH A CAUSE OF CANCER. Constant irrltatnn nf nv nnrt nf I the body is now well recognized as an Important contributory cause of can cer. One of the forms of irritation which has been repeatedly observed to result in this disease is the con stant friction of 'the sharp edges of bad teeth or of imperfect plates against the sides of '.he tongue. To be sure, sores on the tongue caused in this way do not always become can cer. Neither are wounds from toy pistols always followed by lock-jaw. But there is danger in both cases and it is as easy to avoid It in the one as in the other. A bad tooth should nev er be tolerated in any event, and the danger of cancer Is only one more good reason for having it attended to. Cancer of the tongue may occur at any age, but it is most common be tween 40 and 60. Statistics show very few cases under thirty. The ma jority of these cases occurred in fe males, while in later years males were found to be more frequently attacked. Cancer of the tongue in young sub jects Is especially fatal. Out of thirty cases there were only two recoveries. The others died within ten months or could not be traced. As one-third of all the cases investigated have been shown to be definitely associated with jagged or decayed teeth or Imperfect plates it would seem that here, at least, is one method of preventing cancer. It is probable that other con ditions occurring In combination with the bad teeth increase the likelihood of cancer of the tongue as a result, but the removal of this form of Irri tation is so simple a matter that deaths in cases of this kind must be mostly charged to pure neglect Where a sore place caused by a jagged tooth does not promptly heal there is real danger of cancer. If the remov al or treatment of the tooth does not relieve the situation and the ulcer continues, prompt operation is neces sary, for this form of cancer Is quick ly fatal. JIKGEMOXY OF THE PAR EAST. The stirring events now transpiring in Europe should not be allowed to divert the entire attention of the world from the changes which the present war will make in the Far East, writes John C. Ferguson in the North American Re view. Up to the outbreak of hostilities this summer a comparison of the inter ests of Europe and America in Asia would have shown the relative supe riority of Great Britain. Even in com parison with Japan, Great Britain could rightly claim a preponderating influ ence in Asia. Is this likely to be main tained, or is the hegemony to pass into other hands? The most influential factor in de termining for the immediate future the hegemony of the Far East Is the com parative military and naval strength of the two nations, and here Japan has j very thing in her favor. Europe will j ca" for a the military and naval equipment which Great Britain can command and will leave no surplus' which could strengthen her present i forces in the Far Bast. The comparison 1 must therefore be made between Japan land the forces of Great Britain as they Jare now actually in Far Eastern ser- vice,' without taking into account Great Britain's European contingent.

"The boys can carry it along with them on a march and, when they feel hungry or fatigued, eat a piece with- out stopping. Don't you see?" Suzanna nodded. "Oh, I m more than willing to make it. and since the call for It has been sent out I'm sure it is required; but it seemed an odd thing, at first, to be making for sol dier boys." "And yet nore adapted to your par ticular talents than the knitting of socks or making of nightshirts," Mrs. Adams added, wisely. Suzanne laughed, a merry, rippling laugh that would have been as mucn of a sustainer to the soldier boys on the long march as a bit of fudge could they have heard it. "'Right, oh mother!" she said, slangily. And then she went on with her candy making, thinking and wonder ing as she stirred where and "by whom pitcher agreesLtif play for the Wards, it would be eaten.

Good fudge always leaves the pan reluctantly. This Is one of the tests of its having been "fudged" sufficiently. "I I wonder if any bf the boys will get a whole box, by any chance," she said to herself. "I wonder!" When it was smooth she set it away on the ice, and In ten minutes she took it off and began to mark It off in generous squares. It was then that she put into action the little idea that had budded in the brain as she stood making tl-e candy. She traced her name on the flat surface of the candy so that it looked like a puzzle when marked Into squares. She carved her name and the village in which she lived very plainly and then she placed the dish back on the ice. It took Suzanne some time to find a box in which she could lay the cake of fudge flat, for It was a large cake. She did not want to spoil the design she had made so carefully. Her cheeks were glowing with the thoucht of romance as she tied it up and addressed it to the woman wno was looking after the sending of sweets to the troops at war. Not a day passed in which she did done, and vet even at the end of the month she hoped that she might hear from her candy some way somehow. When a trainload of wounded sol dier boys arrived at the big city, of which her home was a suburb, Suz anne was anxious to join the volun teer workers who were to care for the soldier laddies. "I am not a trained -nurse, but I could help." she told her mother. "All right, dear," her mother said. "It is a noble work and you have my permission to go so long as you go chaperoned by Mrs. Greene." Mre. Gree-e was a matron of the commupity who was going to help with the nursing of boys who had been brought home, and she had of fered to take Suzanne with her. It fell to Suzanne's lot to be sent to the home of a soldier boy whose mother was an invalid. At his home she was to assist in: taking care of him, and from the young man she learned much of the life of soldiers in battle. "But we had much to .be thankful for." the wounded soldier told her one day when she sat by- his invalid chair, which was drawn out on to the sunny porch beside that of his mother. "We had wonderful Red Cross serv ice. We were not left to suffer .on the field, but were given the best and quickest of attention at all times and sent home to mend up.. And here he smiled into the girl s yes you can see for yourself what we have when we get home, the flower of the land to care for us.

Right Tackle Taylor. Baker. Right End-Taylor. Ottawa. Quarterback Russell, College of Em poria. Right Halfback Ream. Washburn. Lert HairaacK simmora, r rwuua. Fullback Langhoff. St. Marys. Second Team. Left End Williams. College of Em poria. Left Tackle Parr. Friends. Left Guard Smith, College of Em poria. Center Barrett. Washburn. Right Guard Battin. Ottawa. Right Tackle D. Whitcomb, (cap tain). WashDurn. Right End Critser. Friends. Quarterback Beals, Washburn. Right Halfback Grove, Baker. Left Halfback Zeigler, Southwestern. Fullback Bearg. Washburn. Third Team.

Right End Cannon, Kansas Wes leyan. Quarterback Beck, Couthwestern. Right Halfback Edwards, Cooper. Left Halfback Hinshaw, College Emporia. Fullback Dill (captain). Cooper. Comparing Mr. McBride's selections with the State Journal's teams which were published more than a week be fore the close of the season, it is found that seven men were given the same berths in both sections, sixteen of the first and second teams appeared in both picks and twenty out of the entire thirty-three men are in both myth camps. Considering the fact that Mr. Mc Bride didn't consider either the Em poria Normal team or the Aggies, he is to be congratulated upon hitting the bull's eye so accurately. However, picking an all-state team from afar Is a great deal like shooting ducks at long range on a cold day a few stray shots are inevitable. The Stray Ones. In Mr. McBride's bagging these strays are undouotedly in the selection of Langhoff over Bearg for fullback and Wolf for first team guards TJjere is no doubt but that Captain Langhoff. of St. Marys, is a wonderful fullback. His playing was spectacular throughout the season, and was made more so be cause of the fact that he was one hun dred per cent better than any of his teammates. But he dMn't oppose the strong teams that Bearg did, and'it is most probable that he. would not have made the showing Bearg did. even if he had. There w'as not a single Wash burn game in which Bearg was not one of the most consistent ground gainers, and he played his best against Wash burn's strongest opponents, all of which ought to land him a berth if anything would. The actual football ability of Wolf would undoubtedly enable him to earn a first team position, but it seems hardly fair to give him thi- place be cause of the fact that he only played in a part of one game during the en tire season. Trobert is selected as Captain of the McBride team and Washburn Is given nine places on the three elevens. The College of Emporia takes- second place in there was better twirling among the i new league than in the older organiza- tion.

She spoke of the passing of the Thanksgiving season since her last ap pearance before the audience, and gave some of the reasons why America had had special cause for rejoicing. She continued with a resume of the session of congress recently closed. "The session of congress Just closed," she said, "was the longest in the his tory of the United States, lasting one year, six months and 17 days, and was remarkable for its unity of purpose, and for the number of measures passed, the most important legislation being the tariff revision, the currency bill, the income tax, and the han dling of the trusts." i Mrs. Ross summarised the results of the past election, speaking of the first popular vote for United States I senators, and the general tendency to I a return to Republican rule as indi i cated by the election. She spoke of the two leading issues of prohibition and suffrage and their success in the .last few months.

She spoke further of the invasion of Bel gium in violation of treaty, and also of the fact that the Japanese, on the part of the allies, took a German fort In China, in violation of the treaty by which China was to be neutral terri tory. She gave as her belief that one of the great results of the war would be a greater respect for treaty obliga tions, which in the past have been more or less slightingly regarded. "A new idea of honor is being born among nations, and the shock that the break ing the Belgium neutrality has given to me worm is evidence tnat such a sense of obligation to a contract had begun to find a place in the minds of the people, and that it is stronger than ever before."

"Why couldn't the government with but lit tle additional expense add a public comfort station or rest room to this new federal building," declared M. B. Lewis of Kansas City, now making a social survey of Kansas. He has just been through the new postoffice here and made his pointed inquiry after noticing the enormous amount of waste space in the basement, which was well lighted and well heated. "That's a fine rest room for the carriers and the shower baths and toilet conveniences are of the best. Wouldn't it have been an easy task to have gone on with the comfort idea and fixed up such a room only larger for the public? Of course that would not need the shower baths, but the other conveniences would be wel comed by every tired visitor." "Sounds good," said one of the pos tal employees, "but the state's rights advocates would spoil your little plan, if mentioned at Washington. It's up to the city to provide such accommo dations." Lewis admitted that it was. but in sisted there was room enough wasted in every federal building In the state to afford rest to shoppers and visitors that it might be utilized for the good of the community if it wasn't for so much red tape and conflict of state and national governments. machine in literature, history, geogra phy and all of the science classes.

Last week a stranger purporting to be James Massey of this place en tered the Topeka bank with a check for $31 drawn on a local bank. To provu that he was really James Mas sey, a teacher in the Chase county high school, the forger had another stranger to identify him and also ex hibited a letterhead bearing the names of the teachers of the local school. The bank cashed the check without further question, and when the forged paper showed up here it developed that the forged name was spelled wrong, that Mr. Massey had never had funds in the bank on which it was drawn and that Mr. Massey was not in Topeka at the time the check was cashed.
