The Brit- Ish fleet of Vice-Admiral von Stee la reported to have completed its vic tory over the German fleet by over taking and sinking the cruisers, Nurn bcrg and Dresden. The report of the overtaking and destruction of the two remaining ves sels of the German fleet was received here today in a wireless from Port Stanley. All attempts to get further details of the engagement of Tuesday morn ing through the Montevideo wireless station have failed. Montevideo Is unable to communicate with Port Stanley or get any confirmation of the brief statement that the Nnrnberg and Dresden have been sunk. According to Information received here, six British cruisers were engaged with the Germans. Nothing is known as to the make-up of the British squadron, except that It was accom panied by one transport.

HE BACKSWILSON Daniels Says Uncle Sam Is Safe From Enemies. Country Is Prepared to Take Care of Itself. Washington. Dec. 10. Secretary Daniels told the house naval commit tee today that while the American navy should be steadily strengthened in-an orderly way, the sentiment of tire American people was against mate- ing me uniten states into a military nation in competition with the heavily armed powers of Europe. The secre tary's declaration following the te markable testimony of Rear Admiral Fhtchtr, commander of the Atlantic fleet, who yesterday told the commit tee here there was only one navy In the world England's to which the Urited States was not equal, came as a climax to two days' discussion of the pi eparedness of the nation for defense Secretary Daniels declared he de cried demands for great increases in the array of battleships and subma rines and declared the United States alrtdv was a strong nation. He advised congress not to act any differently in providing for naval strength than it would have acted if there had been no war in Europe. "There is no occasion," said the sec retary, "to have as big and powerful a navy as England, for instance, but we ought to have a powerful navy, steadily strengthened each year. My opinion is that universal disarma ment will come, but never by the ac tion of any one nation, and we would not further it by stopping construc tion now." 'If war should be jumped on us in a month, would you feel that a de fense would be successful?" he was asked. "So far as the auxiliary transports and similar ships are concerned, we can command them at any time," the secretary said, "and with the progress we are making and the steady annual increase of the navy, our country ia in a very good position today." Secretary Daniels added he "never fully accepted" the saying that the way to prevent war was to be pre parea 10 ngui, aitnougn it was as 'much a mistake not to nave a strong! navy.

SNOW AND WIND Cold Norther Blows Flurries at 15-Mile Gait. Kansas Given More of Much Needed Moisture. While the minimum this morning broke no record for the season, the tem perature has averaged lower than at any time since February 23. The north Lwind held the needle down. The tem perature at two o clock was twenty de grees. This is real winter weather. Snow flurries continued throughout the day. VP to two o'clock this after noon there had not been enough snow to measure, however. The wind-was ten miles an hour from the northwest Snow is falling in many parts of Kansas today, adding in value to the good supply of moisture that covered the stat yesterday. The temperature fell to 18 degrees in the northeastern sections of the state today. The snow is driven before a 15-mile-an-hour wind from the north. The stage of the Kaw river is only 3.5 feet or six inches above the low water mark. Moisture is needed bad ly in al. parts of Kansas. There were light snow flurries at Topeka Wednesday night and this morning, and the minimum tempera- iture was below normal for the first time since December 3. The govern ment thermometer reading at seven and nine o'clock this morning was 18 degrees; normal is 23. Up to 9:30 o'clock this morning there had not been enough snow to measure. The wind, which was from the north and northwest all night and from the north this morning, is pene trating. It has averaged in velocity between 12 and 15 miles an hour. That moisture is badly needed is shown by the fact that the stage of the Kaw river is but 3.5 feet, a half foot above the lowest on record, which occurred a year ago last September. The sun has not been seen in six days but the elements do not seem dis posed to "cut loose" with the needed moisture. The forecast: "Partly cloudy to night and Friday; not much change in temperature." The highest temperature recorded on this date in the last twenty-eight years at Topeka was 71 in 1910; the lowest was 9 in 1909. Rock Island and Santa Fe reports indicate that an average of two inches of snow has fallen in the western third of the state. The snow is some what heavier in western Nebraska. There were snow flurries In many sections of the state this morning ac cording to the reports. Shippers forecast: "Protect thirty-six hour shipments north and west against temperature of 12 to 16 de grees; east and south, 18 to 22." Snow has also fallen at Homewood. Marysville, Atchison, Emporia, Pitts burg, Talmo, Wichita, Garnett, Abi lene, Alta Vista. Lehigh, Leaven worth and Lawrence.

Kaiser Wilhelm was wracked by a severe coughing spell early today and was relieved only af ter the court physician and the em press, who was summoned to his bed side, had administered to him for nearly an hour, according to reports reaching here by way of Amsterdam. It is now accepted in London that the condition of the kaiser is serious. It is evident that strict censorship is being exercised by the German government. Reports of his majesty's illness have come from different points. His ail ment is variously described as Influ enza, bronchitis, pneumonia and ner vous depression. Weather Forecast for Kansas.

Martin, vice governor and superintendent of public instruc tion in the Philippine Islands, .will come to Topeka Friday morning from his home in Marion and will prob ably remain here until Sunday night or Monday. A number of prominent Kansas Democrats will be in confer ence with Martin during his stay in Topeka. While here Martin will be a guest of Governor and Mrs. Hodges at the executive mansion. Following his visit in Topeka, it Is probable that Martin will make an early trip to Washington. He has a CRUISERS INVOLVED three months' leave of absence and has returned to the dates, it is as serted, to urge the passage of the Jones' bill providing independence for the Islands. Since the first announcement of his return to Kansas, many rumors con cerning Martin's political plans have been heard in political circles. Only recently when it was announced that Mrs. Martin did not expect to return to the Islands, it was reported that the former Democratic state chairman and head of the state public utilities commission might return to Kansas to take a hand in the campaign two years hence. Martin himself has said nothing. Maybe he will clear up these matters when he comes to To peka. Any assurances from his lips will be sweet music to the ears of a number of men interested in the af fairs of the Bourbon party in Kansas. Before Current Tonic Club. He will speak before the Current Topic club of the Central Y. M. C. A. Monday evening on the subject, "The Orient." Mr. Martin will come from Marion, his American home. He has one of the most enviable positions that has ever been given to a Kansas man, and with his study and connection with the Philippine government, he will give a most interesting address to the club.

Secretary Gar rison's recommendation in his annual report, to recruit the United States army to its full war strength. A large portion of his speech Mr. Gardner de- IN RECENT FIGHT voted to an analysis of President Wil son's references to national defense in his annual address to congress Tus day. He declared the president had set up "a bogey man of straw," and that "if war were to break out today it would be found our coast defenses has not sufficient ammunition for an hour's fighting. 'We must depend In every time of national peril upon citizenry trained and accustomed to arms,' says the president," Representative Gardner said. "But how are we to t ptimiVh citizenry as he calls as ordinary peo-1 pie? "Does the president realize that there are only 120,000 militiamen in this whole nation Does he under stand that 23,000 of them did not even show up last year for annual inspec tion? "Does he know that 31,000 did not: appear at the annual encampment? Is he aware that 53,000 or nearly half of this citizenry never appeared at the rifle range during the whole course of last year? "Where is this citizenry to get the weapons of war? According to the last report of the chief of staff we are short 316 field guns and 1.322.384 rounds of ammunition necessary to equip our militia, in time of war. Wood's Modest Demand. "Last year General Wood asked for enough guns and ammunition to bring the United States up to the standard of Bulgaria. That modest demand was gently but firmly rejected. "I will not say that we have only enough, field artillery ammunition to last for a single day's battle if all our guns were engaged, but I will say that such is the statement which has been made to me by one of the highest of ficers in the army. I do not, however, hesitate to assert that if war .were to break out today it would be found that our coast defenses have not suf ficient ammunition for an hour's fighting. The chief of the staff tells i us that the ammunition for the coast defense mortars would last one-half hour and for the coast defense guns three quarters of an hour.

In a neat little package labeled It costs nothing, take it," the 165 mem bers of the two branches of the state legislature or rather a majority of them voted to take over the Hutchin son fair because It cost nothing at all and would make Senator Emmerson Carey and his friends very glad. Sena tor Caney showed his appreciation by buying at his own expense cigars and candy and apples and flowers for the law makers. Everyone except a few men who voted against the bill was very happy and the day was spent in quite general rejoicing in Hutchin son. The next fall, as a further evi dence of appreciation, Hutchinson sent complimentary fair tickets to all leg islative members and the house offi cials. It was all in furtherance of the policy of good fellowship and har mony.

A conflict in dates which would have divided the crowd, today caused the postpone ment by the Lake Cormorant commit tee of the proposed lynching of two negroes scheduled for tomorrow. The negroes, Essex Marks, 30, and William Robinson, 28, according to telegraphic communication from Lake Cormorant, Miss., confessed to a bru tal assault on Lawless Dean, promi nent citizen of that place, and were sentenced to be hanged. Plans were made for a pubic execution, the ne groes to be executed from a tree in a natural ampitheater. These were set aside, however, and the date post poned, when it was learned that ex cursions were to be run to Staxkville from the surrounding country tomor row to carry a crowd of 10,000 sched uled to fill an arena there to witness the execution of two Starkville ne groes. Starkville has assumed gala garb for the occasion. Numerous restaurants and sideshows have sprung up in prep aration for the crowd. The Lake Comor ant committee today promised to "put Starkville in the shade with its execu tion," and set about advertising the hanging in order to outdo the neighbor ing town's plans for the execution.

In the mo tion .which was introduced by the at-; torneys, it was argued that Mary Tur ner could have been brought into uuuu Willi a auiuuiuiia nv, uuvu her parents, that no showing had been placed before the court that such a summons would have been ineffectual and that Mary Turner has been falsely imprisoned in a room at the Throop hotel. Following the motion Ed Rooney. probation officer, was placed in the witness chair in opposition to the mo- tion.

Washington. Dec. 10. Attorney Gen- eral Gregory made his first report to congress today aa head of the depart- ment of lustice. He recommended sev eral amendments to existing laws and gave a comprehensive review of the work of the department for the fiscal year. His principal recommendation was for an amendment to the com modities clause of the interstate com merce act designed to block the way of any common carrier which seeks to transport products over its lines in Which it has any interest whatsoever. In asking for such legislation the at torney general referred to the difficulty the department has encountered In at tempting to break up what is known as the "hard coal combination" control Ing a large- part of the anthracite fields in eastern Pennsylvania. He told con gress that railroads in that field have met recent supreme court decisions. In terpreting the commodities clause, by the organization of corporations whose stock is distributed ratably among stockholders of the railroad, -with its management dominated by the railroad. To such a corporation, he says the rail road in question sells coal at the mines under a contract which puts the new corporation "largely, if not completely. within the power of the railroad." This plan has been challenged by the gov ernment. Other recommendations include: An amendment making it a "federal crime" to kill an officer of the United States engaged in serving or execut ing process, and authority for the use of search warrants in advertising fraud cases which rely on the mails to attract victims. I Attorney General Gregory recom-1 mend that the power of federal grand Juries be enlarged so that they can Investigate crimes committed in any division of a federal district. He sug gest also that an amendment to exist ing law is needed whereby a federal Judge in whose court an Indictment is returned, may consider testimony be fore the grand Jury and enter an order making the warrant run to all parts of the federal territory Amendments of a minor nature are suggested also to the food and drugs act, the insecticide act. the twenty-eight hour law and the bankruptcy law. Mr. Gregory renewed the recommendations of the former attorney general that when a federal judge of any court be low the supreme court reaches the age of seventy and after ten years service. refuses to retire, the president be authorized to appoint another Judge to preside over the affairs of that court and have precedence over the older Judge.

The Sardou Canning factory, a build ing about one hundred feet long, and j nity reel wiae. oi rrame construction and containing valuable machinery, was destroyed by fire near midnight last t night. The loss is approximately $10,000. A fire alarm was telephoned to the i Topeka fire department giving the lo cation of the fire "on East Gordon street between Quincy and Monroe streets." The canning plant was lo cated near the south end of the Sar- dou bridge over the Kaw river, and a half-mile beyond the limits of the city. By stretching a mile of hose it might have been possible for fire com panies to have turned one stream of water on the fire, but the delay caused by the incorrect location given the fire department, made lt useless to attempt it.

Hogs, cat tle, chickens, milo and kaflr may be contributed, and they will be sold for cash. The following Is an extract from a letter received by Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, from a Belgian woman in Brussels: neoole of Brussels have "been eating people or Brussels nave own caims For more than three .v-eeks tne bread sunnlied bv the American com mission f r relief in Belgium. Not that the commission itself has turned miller and baker, but, aside from the wheat and flour which passes through the hands of Captain Lucey at Rotter dam, the people of Brussels have none, and were the commission to sus- ,uu pend its energies for a few weeks famine, bread riots and uprisings aganst the German garrison would al most inevitably come. This charge. which necessity has laid upon the gen erosity of America, daily grows heav ier. A certain visitor from The Hague re fused to credit the tale I told him of misery and war tension until I made to him the alarming discovery that be could not hire a taxicab, send a tele gram or post a letter. The population tries hard to behave as usual. Howev er, a few days in the city will serve to divulge the fictitiousness of this brave front. Trade Is dead and commerce does not exist. Stores keep open as much to give employment to a few people as for any other reason, as there are no buyers in town. Economically speaking, the status of Brussels could not well be worse. Nine- ty per cent of the bread winning popu- lation, more than 70,000 people, depend for their daily means of existence upon soup kitchens Normally 3,500 men find employment in the printing trade; to d9v nnlv ccvontv.flvA men are at wnrb printing the warnings, notices and re quests with which the German com manders flood the town.

As outlined today by Senator Howe the resolution will provide that a re vision, practically re-writing Article A nu a a i ir: .uiisiiLuiiuii a? a mis Biate, be submitted to the voters of the state as an amendment.

The duties and powers of the proposed commission would be in all respects the same as tnat oi tne legislature. Two From Each District.' "Members of the proposed assem bly," said Senator Howe today, "would hold office for terms of four years, half the number being elective each two years. Salaries of $3,000 a year are proposed and an allowance made for traveling expenses to per mit them to visit all the state institu tions at frequent intervals. Two mem bers would be elected from each con gressional district. In the event of an increase of population sufficient to al low the state a congressman-at-large, the assembly would be granted an ad ditional two members to be elected at large. 'The advantage of the smaller, bet- ter paid body of legislators lies in the obviously better opportunity for good service- it would have. Sixteen men with ample time and ample compensa- tion are as capable of giving adequate study to legislative problems as an to finitely larger numrer or men would be under present circumstances. Now the legislature Is composed of two houses often with conflicting political pur poses. Both are transitory; neither is sufficiently paid to make the office at tractive to any class of citizens. Work is done in haste amid the confusion of conflicting interests. It is rare that the attention of the entire legislature is focused even for an interval on. a sin' ,-w done in committee to be torn to pieces on the floors of the two assemblies. Bad laws are passed in baste to be re- gretted at leisure when a little delibera tion might have turned them into be- neflcent measures or condemned them for what they afterward prove to be."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUIUIAL-TinjIlSDAY EVENITIG DECEITBEE 10, 1914. NIGHT OTSOCIETY Social Feature at State-Wide Poultry Show. Good Crowds to See Cacklers and Hear Cackles. MAKE IT YOUR TOWN, FANCIERS Topeka Would Be Permanent Host to Bird Exhibitors. Election of Officers of Associa tion This Afternoon. Tonight will be "Society night" at the poultry show In the Auditorium under the auspices of the Kansas State Poul try Federation. It will be the big event of the entire show, and hundreds of Topekans and others are expected to be in attendance. The attendance has been increasing daily and the show is pronounced to be as good or better than any previous exhibit held in Kansas. The annual meeting of the Kansas State Poultry association is being held this afternoon. This morning- George Beuoy, presi dent of the association, gave a demon stration and lecture on "What's a Capon and Why?" A Black Cothin Bantam of Class That Won a Blue lUbbon at the Poultry Show. An excursion to the Seymour Pack ing company's plant will be made at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Attendants will conduct the visitors through the plant, explaining the various features. A poultry institute will be held in the commission chamber of the city hall at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Ad dresses will be made by leading poul trymen. Special features are being ar ranged for Saturday. Banquet a Success. The banquet given at 8 o'clock Wed nesday night in the Throop hotel by the local poultrymen -for the visitors and their wives was a decided success. G. D. McClasky. editor of Poultry Culture, introduced the toastmaster. W. A. Lippincott, professor of poultry hus bandry at the Kansas State Agricul tural college and it should be men tioned that Professor Lippincott mades an unusually nappy presiding om cial. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Com mercial club, who delivered an address of welcome, insisted that the Kansas State Poultry Federation should have state aid in making it possible to main tain an annual show without a financial loss to the poultrymen. "It should not be within the province of any legisla ture to deny you assistance." he said. Secretary Kclley's Invitation. Secretary Kelley suggested to the poultry breeders and fanciers that they make Topeka the permanent show city. "If you do decide to come to Topeka," he said, "we will co-operate with you in making the show bigger and better each year. "We take a great deal of pride in the A House Coat Will make him stay home nights. Our House Coats or Smoking Jackets at $5, $6.50 and $7.50 are the best that can possibly be had at these prices. Rich, soft fabrics of deep, dark hues, hand somely tailored, beau tifully cut. $5-$6-$7i Stop in tomorrow and s-e them and our many other gift suggestions we are now displaying. 631 Kansas Avenue. capital city o'f the state, and we are glad to have people come here." Best Advertised State. "Kansas is the best advertised state in the entire-Union," said Grant Harrington, secretary to George H. Hodges, governor of Kansas, who rep resented the chief executive on the program. "For the last quarter of a century Kansas has been up in a tree top hollering all the time. The world looks to Kansas to set a pfece." Capper for Appropriation. Charles Dillon spoke in behalf of Arthur Capper, governor-elect. He said in part: A Prize Winning Bourbon tted Turkey at the Poultry Show. "Upon such an occasion as this I believe I should fail in my duty if I neglected to assure you that I feel very deeply the honor and also the re sponsibility of speaking for the first native-born governor Kansas has ever elected twice. I do this, realizing fully that whatever I may say will fall far short of what might have been said by the governor-elect himself. "Mr. Capper knows that Kansas must do something for its poultry in dustry. He may not know a great deal, personally, about poultry, but he does not understand why Kansas, the first wheat state in the Union, should ignore this great business while Ne braska and Missouri help it with an annual appropriation. He realizes that Kansas should have a great edu cational poultry show and that, like some of the infant industries of early American times, it should be fostered and protected." Other Banquet Speakers. J. C. Mohler, secretary of the Kan sas state board of agriculture, gave an interesting address on "What the Hen Is Doing for Kansas and What Kan sas Is Doing for the Hen," a report of which is given elsewhere in this paper. Among other speakers were: George Beuoy, president of the Kan sas Poultry federation, of Cedarvale; L. H. Wible of Chanute, M. I. Harris, superintendent of the Kansas Agri cultural college poultry plant; Ralph Searle of the Capper Publications; T. E. Quisenberry of Mountain Grove, Mo.; L. B. McCausland, secretary of the Kansas State Poultry association, Wichita, Kan.; Mrs. T. N. Marshall of LaCygne, Kan. EAST SIDE NOTES.

"The Play Boy of the Western World," by the Washburn Dramatic club, was presented at Wamego last night in order that the college artists might be more experienced when they face the audience at the Grand Friday night. Miss Helen Griffin is the coach for this play. Merrill Ream, the manager, says there will be a good house in Topeka and the play is one that ought to please. "TO-DAY" REVIEW. "To-Day," the play by George Broad hurst and Abraham Schomer which was presented at the Grand yesterday afternoon and last night, might also be described as a first aid td injured hus- i bands. It wises them up to all the tricks of the trade that are plied by an erring wife, ?.ts producers characterize it as a picture of contemporaneous New York life. This is a trifle libelous. It is merely a page of that life. The wife who sells her body and soul that she may have the pretty clothes and the good times that a few others enjoy is the exception, not the rule, in New York city just the same as she is in all other sections of this country, or the world. Society would be a sorry thing were this not so. But despite the unpleasantness of the theme, the play is an unusually strong one, most clev- i erly and subtly constructed. There j isn t a coarse or offensive line in it. It is a gripping play, toe. It- grasps the attention of an audience and holds it in a remarkable way with its unusual climaxes. An exceedingly trite expres sion tells of the spellbound crowd. But it fits exactly the attitude of last night's audience at the Grand during several stages of the play, and at peri ods, too, when not a word was being spoken on the stage nor a muscle being moved by one of the actors. The de nouement of the story is strikingly original. In his capacity as agent for an apartment house the husband stum bles onto the trysting place of his wife. He finds her picture there. The pro curess is pleased to arrange an intro duction. The man contrives that it shall be in the dark. The lights are turned on, and the husband and wife are facing each other, and almost in each other's arms. Then he kills her. He chokes her to death like a terrier does a rat. And the curtain goes down as the police whom he has called are leading him away. A most charming incidental thread runs through the en tire play. It Fhowg the mother-love in all of its wonder and glory. The hus band's mother and father furnish the wholesomeness in the story, also the humor. And these parts were cleverly portrayed by Miss Helen Judson and Charles N. Greene. AH of the members of the cast, in fact, were happily chosen and acquit thamselves in sterling fash Ion: none more so than Miss Helen MacKellar. who has the part of the foolish wife. She is an actress of rare charm and distinction, and does her part as well as it could possibly be done. Equally finished is the work of Miss May Herbert, the temptress, who shows the way to the unfaithful wife. And Georsre MacQuarrie, the leading man. handles a difficult part in a com manding manner. Tn the hands of such a company "To-Day" is a dramatic treat, one of those satisfying shows that come along so few and far between. It is also magnificently staged, and this helps a lot with any old kind of a theatrical production. That it Is a play with a punch and adequately presented is per haps best attested by the fact that it was received with enthusiasm and ac claim by a Topeka audience. Hard coal base burners at Forbes' Hardware. Adv. Our Biggest Cotton Crop. Washington, Dec. 10. The United States this year has produced the great est crop of cotton in its history. More than sixteen million bales 15,966.000 of lint cotton and linter cotton unofficially estimated at from 600,000 to 650.000 bales are the crop. Acid Stomachs Are Dangerous Common Sense Advice by a Distin guished Specialist. "Add" stomachs are dangerous because acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine tentns of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medical treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is a teaspoonful of blsurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water, after eating, which not only neutralises the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with a little blsurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and should always be kept handy.

Whoever put the "rush" in Russians headed It In the wrong; direction, that Is. from a successful military point of view. One distressing feature of the pres ence of 90,000 automobiles in Kansas is that almost every ono of them has at least two horns. If Kansana can afford to possess 50, 000 automobiles, they certainly can spare 100.000 or 150,000 barrels of flour for the starving Belgians. Giving a sack or a barrel of flour for the relief of the Belgians is a great tonic for the appetite. Or, at least, it makes your food taste a little bet ter. Try it. Another Kansas paradox. Too much prosperity in Kansas has hurt the in trastate passenger business of the rail roads. Kansans are getting about in their own motor cars. Mere's an instance of even frying chickens before they are hatched. Twenty cooks have their plans made for a dinner for the AlU,.4n.the.,day they take Berlin.- Loud-daughter .from the Germans. A valuable hint to many young fel lows who are. becoming restless and yearning for other fields to conquer is to be found in the assertion of Major General Funston that he was rattle pated to give up the farm. No doubt about Germany having both her hands full. Papa Kaiser has issued a conscription for the mobiliz ing of all the members of the land sturm who have not been called out. This is Germany's last line pf reserve forces. It is easy for naval experts to say that the submarine has rendered the big battleship obsolete, admits the New York World. But, It insists, the dreadnought is a military necessity If the submarine is to have a proper target.

Present indications are that the forthcoming session of the Kansas legislature -will be swamped with a flood of big and little appropriation measures. All of which Is not very cheering holiday news for the man who is so unlucky as to own anything worth taxing. Neither will any of the major mili tary commanders in this great Euro pean war 'oe able to go down in his tory along .side the famous few who knew no such word as "retreat." A1J of them have been forced to indulge in this activity to a greater or less extent, even if only "for strategic purposes." Carranza seems to be of the same mould as all of the other Mexicans who have gone on before him- He is now accused of having helped himself to 6,000,000 pesos of governmental money during his brief sojourn in the City of Mexico. And the only unusual thing about this incident is that Huerta left such a large sum behind him. j Mr. McAdoo, the secretary of the treasury. Is. at least, consistent in urg ing that the war tax measure should not expire on the fixed date of Decem ber 31. 1915, and that Its operations should be extended until the end of the European war. Certainly a war tax measure's life should be complementary with that of the war that.occasions it. But Mr. McAdoo Is careful not to sug gest that the war tax law should be abrogated before the time set for Its .i.iimi tn ram the war should be concluded before that date, which la usaibillty, of course- -THE RAILROADS' DILEMMA.. Unfortunately, President Wilson's words of encouragement to t business do not apply to the railroads, which co-atltute quite the most extensive in dustry in the country, and, at the same time, are more hampered and harassed by governmental regulation, both state and national, than any of the other business enterprises. The interstate commerce commission is beyond his authority, except that he can fill such vacancies as occur on lt So are the railroad commissions or public utility boards of the several states.' They are the agencies that hold the railroads in their clutches and show no disposition to loosen the thumb screws that they have applied so severely. But the business of the nation, that President .Wilson tells .a go ahead with the knowledge that the Demo cratic party has no further regulatory designs against it. won't be able to go a great ways without adequate rail road facilities and service. The rail roads are the arteries through which the lifeblood of the nation, its busi ness, flows. And they -re in .pretty desperate circumstances just now. Their annual reports, which are be ginning to be published, show this. Some of the big and honestly con ducted railroad systems in the east are now earning less than 4 per cent on the i.ioney invested in them. And unless the railroads are accorded fair play and liberal treatment to which mere justice entitles them, conditions will soon be worse with them. With in the next three years, a full half bllllon dollars worth of railroad bonds come due. If these are not refund ed, bankruptcy will come to many a road. And is it reasonable to assume that capital will show any enthusiasm over further investments in railroad securities? Well, hardly. And with out new capital, the future of the railroads and their necessary develop ment and extension to meet the re quirements of the country's growth, is doomed. When the people demanded the regulation 'of the railroads a decade or so ago to correct abuses that were patent, they did not contemplate their strangulation. Yet that is what the people's political agents have nearly accomplished, and evidently through the mistaken idea that it would add to their popularity with the people. Qailroad-baiting, though, as far as the people are concerned, is a thing of the past. They showed it in Missouri at the recent election when they re called, under a referendum and by a large majority vote, a "full crew" law that had been placed on the statute books two years ago. SCbfi people of other states are in much the same mood. They know what a further railroad development and an adequate service mean for them. And tney know that the railroads are as worthy of their hire as are. humans. What the people demand, and it has been their desire all fJbtkK'fe'aftiryUwtW' policy in the regulation of the rail roads, not a destructive one. And such treatment, no more nor less, ,1s the railroads' right. MORE WOMEN MARRY. Tn the January Woman's Home Com panion Ida M. Tarbell writes a most illuminative and Interesting article en titled "What Women Are Really Do ing." Miss Tarbell takes occasion to ,t with facts, which she nas gam- m hv making a careful study of the Thirteenth Census, some of the false Mo.. rn th woman Question which are nruH hv nlatform speakers through out the country. The "platform" says that "less than half of the forty-nve million women of the country marry." -mi.,. Turhell answers this allegation with the following statement of facts: if w consider the sex t m a whole. regardless of age, this Is true. We havo In the United States now 44.639,- 989 'females,' including all from one war and under .to one hundred years and over. Fifty-two and seven-tenths per cent of these babes, maids, ana women are single, that is, literally less than half of the sex are married. n..t drnn out those not yet of marriage able age, and you have a different story. There will, of course, be a dif ference of opinion about what is a murrlnff cable age: but let us call it nineteen or over. If we settle on that. we must drop at once from our esti mate something over twenty millions or the nex. It outs a different complexion at once on the marriage percentage. As a fact, seventy per cent of those who arc fifteen years or more old marry: and if you raise the age to twenty, 80 per cent marrr; to twenty-five, 86." per cent marry. "But, grant these figures to be cor rectit is hard even for an orator to defy a census and still the platform cries that 'women don't marry as they once did.' The truth is they marry more freely than they did In 190O or in 1890. There has been a gain of nearly two per cent in the number of marriages of women over fifteen in the last twenty years; and two per cent, when dealing with nearly thirty mil lions, is a considerable number." ARMS AND THE MAX. Modern history, which is but another term for modern life, is full or sur nrlses. and even the little we know authentically of the operations by the allied armies has been replete with wonderful and unforeseen incidents that would have been deemed the visions of romance if they had been suggested only a few months ago. Even in a machine made war man is the deciding element, and man has ever been the greatest surprise to himself. An unusual view of the man in the war is given in an editorial In the fourth and current war Issue of the Scien tific American, which Is in part as fol lows: Among the unexpected developments of the war, none has been more amaz ing than the unflinching steadiness with which the citizen soldiers of the warring' nations, and especially those engaged on the western battlefields, have faced the murderous attack of modern weapons, whether by the maga zine rifle, the machine gun, the search ing shrapnel, or the shattering, high explosive, 16-lnch shell! So accustomed have we become, through the daily testimony of eye witnesses, to the more-than-huroan courage with which frail flesh and blood is facing, day in, day out, and for weeks together, the tornado of lead and steel which sweeps over the mod ern battlefield that we are forgetting that only yesterday we were all saying that this miracle could not be. Had not the military experts themselves as sured us that the accuracy and volume of modern rifle, machine gun and shrapnel fire was such, that not the finest troops In the world could be brought to face the tempest in a frontal attack in the open? And yet this very thing has hap pened not merely once, to be written into the chronicles of a nation's sub lime heroics, but everywhere and every day throughout that far-flung battle line on which Teuton 'is locked in the death-grip with Frank and Briton. Marvelous, also, is the fact that this matchless courage is being displayed, not by the toughened veterans of a long campaign, not by professional soldiers, steeled and tempered by the discipline of barracks and camp, but by work-a-day laymen, called at a minute's notice from the peaceful routine of their daily lives, and told to rush "into the jaws of Hell!" Journal Entries Beauty and the beast are occasion ally one and the same. Ignorance is the foundation on which most of the pride is built. All of the inventions, at any rate, cannot be blamed on necessity. Another lucky man is the one who can be happy and poor at the same time. Father's Christmas present causes the most annoyance, there is so little left to get it with at the last moment. The Evening Story Gray Feather. (By Gladys Gordon.) Over to the westward lay the serrated ranges of the Sweetwater mountains. In the foreground was a green and fer tile valley through which trickled a sil ver stream. Helen Madison, sitting her sturdy lit tle pony, climbed to the top of Eagle Hill and looked down into the valley, looked everywhere save into the face of the strong, brown young man who was waiting for her to speak. Helen, he said at last, and his voice was stern. "Yes?" She turned a cold face to his. There was no fire in her dark eyes, no love nothing, save perhaps. dfsdaln mtUtadtfTimi1fti'i,a 'You have not-- -forgiven vme?1 -he asked slowly. There is nothing to forgive. Xou are free to choose, your own way I gave back your freedom last night." "I know I did not believe that you would throw me over just because I wanted to make this venture with Dickman; I have invested every penny in that abandoned mine, but I have faith in its development, though it is a hazardous undertaking in more ways than one." 'I was satisfied to marry you and settle down on the ranch with you," said Helen obstinately. How could she explain to Dan Summer that her hurt lay in the fact that he was willing to postpone that wedding in order to speculate in the. old Mizpah mine in the hope of getting a fortune Out of it? Dan would never know, why she had refused to countenance his going nor why they had quarreled. I know dear. I know." he said smiling tenderly at her averted face. But I have made the venture the die is cast yet you will not forgive me, you will not wait?" "It is too late," she said. "Then, it is good-bye?" "It is good-bye.'' "Forever?" "We may meet some day," she said. carelessly. The muscles around Dan's Hps tightened. He lifted his broad felt hat with the old gallant grace she loved. "Then I will say good-bye now. Miss Madison. Helen winced. "Good-bye." she said, steadily. She did not turn her head as he rode down the hill. When he had disap peared from view she shook her shoul ders and breathed deeply. "Oh, it's good to be free!" she cried, devoutly. "Pretty lady so glad heap cry," said a dry voice at her elbow. Helen turned quickly and saw the squatty form of a demure little In dian squaw astride a ragged pony. "You frightened me!" she cried with an unsteady laugh. "How, Gray Feath er?" "How?" saluted Gray Feather, sol emnly. "Oh, you have papoose with you! Do let me see him cried Helen, touching the bundle on Gray Feather's back. Gray Feather swung the cradle around to her arms and uncovered the sleeping face of the dark skinned In dian baby. "Him' grand papoose," she smiled fondly. "Have you named him yet?" asked Helen, touching; the little fingers. Gray Feather grunted response. "What do you call him? Strongarm, like his big father?" "No my man no want papoose called Strongarm: so we name him for big kind man who save ray man's life one day. Indian love white brother, Dan Summer, name papoose Dan Summer time he always smiles like big white brother1 so!" The baby smiled a grave Indian smile and opened beadv black eyes. i would like to kiss mm!" cnea Helen, impulsively. Gray Feather smiled and held up the cradle and Helen kissed the vel vety cheek of Dan Summertime. "So did big white brother kiss papoose," approved Gray Feather de murely. Helen blushed scarlet and looked annoyed. A keen look came into Gray Feather's dark eyes. She laid a slen der, red-brown finger on the sleeve of Helen s white blouSe. "Him white brother gone away?" she asked sharply. "Yes." "Come back to you some day?" "No." "No wantr persisted Gray Feather. .Helen hesitated,'--Then her lips set obstinately and 'dray Feather saw that she. looked much like her father, the great ranch owner, who was said to never change his mind if it was once made up. "You, send away White brother?" asked Gray Feather softly. "No he went because be liked to dig in a horrid, old mine better than he loves me!" burst out the girl im petuously. "He has bought up the old Mizpah mine. Gray Feather, and against my wishes he has gone to re claim it. He and Dickman believe there is gold in it." "Indians say there is 'much gold in Mizpah mine." said Gray Feather thoughtfully. ."Him go away mad." "Yes that is I was angry with him. I I hate him!" "I hated my man once," said Gray Feather gravely. "Long ago before he take me for squaw. He go away on hunt; I say, 'stay;' he laugh and say 'go to wigwam little squaw-to-be; men must hunt for food.' It very bad time for Gray Feather! Now, about big white brother," she went on briskly; "that Mizpah Mine very bad danger place kill plenty men maybe your man no come back you be glad, huh?" Helen paled. "You are trying to frighten me, Gray Feather," she said quaveringly. "No danger is! What I say no make more!" argued the Indian stern ly. "My man he lose himself on hunt that time me almost die for sorrow; then I go and walk and walk and trail step by step for three days and nights till at last I find him, hurt, most dead for thirst. Me drag him ten miles to home!" "You saved his life?" whispered Helen softly. Gray Feather nodded stolidly. "He my man," she said simply. Helen looked over to the western hills beyond which lay the famed Mizpah mine. Dan Summer was go ing there, perhaps to death. She had sent him away without a word in anger! What if he never came back? Life would be unendurable without Dan Summer, the big white brother to Gray Feather and her tribe. In voluntarily Helen held out her hand to the west. Her lips were murmur ing a prayer for his return. After all, Dan was her man she loved him. "I cannot wait I cannot wait," she muttered. Gray Feather's little eyes were scanning her narrowly. "You will go after big white brother and tell him leetle papoose Dan Summertime send him kees goodby?" she asked bluntly. "Yes, Gray Feather, I will take the kiss to htm,"- cried Helen radiantly. She leaned over and kissed the un winking baby, and then pressed her Hps on Gray Feather's cheek. "I shall love you always. Gray Feather!" she whispered softly, as she shook the reins and started her pony into action. "Goodby, white sister!" waved Gray Feather as Helen rode away. "Don't forget Dan Summertime kees!" And the rosy glow that bathed Hel en's face was not the reflection of the sunset. (Copyright, 1914, by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.)

If) DADTASTE. Sending of Toy Ship to Europe Arouses Criticism. Succor for Wounded and Starr ing Is More Desired. (By Alice Rohe.) Rome, Dec. 10. When the good snip Jason, laden with toys sent by the children of free and neutral America to the children of warring Europe, arrived at Genoa, It brought something unlooked for and unexpect ed. The Jason's cargo of playthings stirred up indignation among promi nent charitable aid philanthropic workers who are toiling night and day in the interests of the bereaved women and children suffering the terrors.of war. There is open criticism here that so much money should have been spent in sending toys when food and warm clothing is needed and medicines and supplies are lacking in the fight to save the wounded from death. Miss Evelyn S. Falkner, prominent here through her philanthropies and who heads the local Servian relief so city, voiced the sentiment of her sister wJ"ker8 in the cause of humanity. The sending of that great ship laden with toys, is quite in keeping with Marie Antoinette's suggestion that the starving Parisians who asked for bread be given cake." said Miss Falkner. "The motives which permitted the children nf AmAm j w KUU BUIIIO Christmas expression of cheer to the uuiureu oi Europe's war-ridden coun tries were high and human, but the American boys and girls are not to blame. It was the misguided spirit of their elders which turned the generosity and enthusiasm of youth into such use less channels. What mock sentimen tality could inspire people to send toys into homes in which want, death, hun ger, sorrow and sick are the guests who have replaced fathers, husbands, sons and brothers." THE VASIIDURII FLAY. "The Play Boy of Western World" at Grand Friday Xight, The Washburn College Dramatic club presented its play, "The Play Boy of the Western World," last night to theater goers in Wamego. The audience was high ly pleased with the performance. The play is especially difficult but as rendered by the college Thespians' seems to be properly Interpreted and the staging and costuming was almost perfect. The play is the story of an Irish lad who has always been subjected to the will of others. This lad finally oversteps him self and attacks his father in a rage and leaves him as dead. At an Irish road house far up in the hills, safe from the "peelers." he tells his story to a sympa thetic audience and makes a very good impression upon the simple folk who lion ize him for his bravery. Just at the crest of the play boy's new found glory when he wins in. their annual contest at racing, "lepping." and other sports, his father, who was not killed at all, enters, looking for his boy. Goaded by the crowd which is enraged by his deceit, and hoping to thereby win the love of the beautiful daughter of the house, he igaln attempts to kill his father. The peasants thinking that he has actually committed the mur der this time. Instead of idolising him are disgusted and attempt to hang the boy. His erstwhile sweetheart also turns against him and urges the peasants on to the hanging. The father, supposedly dead, is only severely wounded and crawls onto the stage to the aid of his boy. In fright at the spectacle the peasants drop the play boy and run away. Discouraged and disheartened the play boy who has had a glimpse of the life of a hero, and his father, once more go out Into the world, leaving the daughter of the house to the stupid lover of the hills-. The girl's imagination has been fired and. in spite of the fact that she realizes that the play boy has deceived her, she wants him back. But the train ing of a life time holds her, and she al lows him to go, knowing that she has lost the only play boy she will ever have." The play is a psychological study and is filled with good comedy. Homer Gooing and Gillian Stone, in the two lead roles, made quite a hit at Wamego. The seats are selling fast for the presentation at the Grand Friday. It will be worth while. TO LIVE III MANSION. Balie Waggener Would Occupy Gov ernor's House In Topeka. Regardless of the fact that Arthur Capper, governor-elect, will not oc cupy the governor's mansion, there is a possibility that the state residence at Eighth avenue and Buchanan street may be occupied this winter. Senator Balie P. Waggener of Atchi son has stated that he would like to live in the executive mansion and will move to Topeka for the legislative ses sion! if "arrangements can be made with the state and Mrs. Waggener." Because of the condition of his health. Senator Waggener has told his friends that he does not expect to take his usual active part in the com ing Vession. In 1913, Senator Wag gener was chairman of the judiciary committee and was active on the floor of the upper house.' This year he may not ask for the chairmanship of the judiciary committee, although he has stated that he would' like a place on both the judiciary and ways and means committees. RUSSIA'S SACRIFICE.

PUSIIEDJT DAGK German Battle Front Is Yield ing to the Allies Along? the S00 Miles of Trenches Into Alsace. Paris, Dec. 10. A -general stiffening of the allied line from the coast along the 300 miles of trenches into Alsace is now under way as the Germans are being pushed back foot by foot and the outer defenses of the French and British troops are being, extended. In anticipation of. a possible counter offensive by the Germans every- new position taken by the allies, is being doubly strengthened. That every Inch of ground gained must be held at all cost, is evidently the order from the headquarters of Generals French and Joffre. The French artillery is giving ex cellent support to the infantry not only in the advance but in hold ing the Germans in check while the new positions occupied are made se cure against attack. Brisk fighting continues In the vicin ity of Ypres and along the entire line from the coast to Lille. Ypres has again been bombarded, it is reported. unconfirmed reports state that the allies have taken full possession of Dix mude. This, position has changed hands repeatedly, however, and as it is in the midst of the inundated sec tion, great importance is not attached to it from a military standpoint. Berlin's Side of It. Berlin, Dec. 10. Today's official bul letin' issued by the army staff head quarters asserts that French attack resumed in the forest of Argonne was repulsed, the allies forces losing heav ily. The text of the statement read: "In the district of Souain the French yesterday confined themselves to heavy artillery firing. "A renewed French attack on Rocroi and Courcullies did not make any prog ress. The attack broke down under the fire of our artillery the enemy suffer ing heavy loss. "Yesterday three of the enemy's avi ators dropped, about ten bombs on a town situated outside the range of oper ations, the town of Freiburg (Baden). No damage was done. The Incident merely shows again that an open town not situated within the range of oper ations has been attacked with bombs by the enemy. "To the east of the Mazurian lakes (Fast Prussia) only artillery encounters are taking place. "In northern Poland our columns, ad vancing on the right bank of the Welch sel (Vistula) took Przasnysse by storm. 600 prisoners and some machine guns were captured. The attack along the river Weichsel is being continued. "In southern Poland the Russian at tacks were repulsed." TWO MORE. Continued from PageOne.j gles now in progress in Belgium, France and Poland. The fate of the small German cruis ers, Dresden and Nurnburg, which at last accounts were being pursued by British warships,, had not been dis closed. The British admiralty-, pre served its silence as to the makeup of the squadron which sent to the bot tom the formidable German cruisers, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the smaller cruiser, Leipzig, but it was intimated at Tokio that the warships which avenged England for the loss of the Good Hope and Monmouth were all British vessels. So far as is known to the navy au thorities at Tokio the Japanese squad ron sent to the South Pacific did not take part in the engagement. It is also said at Tokio that the British squadron was reinforced recently by the addition of several big gun ships, so that presumably the German war ships were opposed by a stronger enemy. The latest report concerning the condition of Emperor William was that he was unable to leave his bed and that his fever, had not decreased. There is no official confirmation of reports that the emperor is suffering from pneumonia. The German armies in the west have been stirred to renewed activity by the offensive movement of the allies, as is shown not only by their sharp at tacks In Flanders, but by their at tempted advance in the department of Oise which the French war office says was repulsed. Ypres and Furnes are again reported under heavy bombard ment by the Germans. An official Russian statement shows there has been no letup in the fighting in the east which has zeen proceeding with almost unprecedented severity for a fortnight. Both in central Poland and in Galicia the Russian statement re ports the Germans are making attack rafter attack in attempts to pierce the Russian lines. Petrograd asserts that these assaults have been repulsed with heavy losses for the Germans but it is reported in Berlin that in the battle near Cracow, Galicia, both Russian wings have been beaten back.

Tobacco Loving Thieves' Slake Big Haul at Grocery Store. The H. S. Riddle store, 934 Monroe street, was entered last night and a large quantity of goods was stolen, principally cigars and tobacco. En trance was effected through a north door. A small hole was cut in the door and it was unbolted from the in side. The police believe it was the work of boys, or some one with a small hand and wrist, as the hole was too small for the average man to put his hand through. There were six or eight tobacco, cans and boxes of cigars which were stolen. Butter, eggs, flour, several stamps and a pipe were included in the missing articles. The days of the hobo boards for the city jail have arrived. Last night 12 gentlemen of the road made their headquarters for the evening at the bastlle, were given warm breakfasts this morning and sent on their way.

Hutchinson will be satisfied with $107,000 wltii which to run her fair during the next two years. Quite satisfied, thank you. One thing Hutchinson wants is an agricultural hall that will cost $40. 000. She also wants a horse pavilion that will cost 820,000, and $47,000 to be used for "maintenance and Im provements." For improvements the Hutchinson fair people feel they can spend $27,000 of the state's money in beautifying the fair grounds, patching the fences and building walks and drinking fountains. The $20,000 for maintenance will cover expenses of a ground keeper, perhaps, and doubtless meet any deficits In the treasury should the fair receipts fail to meet expenses. The whole thing will be checked up to the state legislature next month. And some of the older members who boosted for the fair bill In 1918 be cause it provided an Inexpensive play thing, will also have an opportunity to make a speech favoring appropria tions of $107,000 for the support of the Institution. r 4

New York, Dec. 10. The annual meet, ing of the National and International lea trues failed to nroduce more than routine announcements Wednesday.

It was stated an agree ment hai hn rparhrd whereby the would be per mitted to play at the Polo grounds durins- ISIS and Dossibly 1916. The National league magnates spent the whole afternoon in a discussion regarding the waiver rule and better cooperation among the league clubs. As a result a resolution was intro- riured that once waivers were asked cn a player, they could not be with drawn. This resolution met with al most unanimous favor and is expected to be passed at the meeting tomorrow Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati, was asked to explain the extent of his peace negotiations with Charles Weegnman. of the Federal league, which he under took recently In a private capacity. He detailed the result of his conferences which developed nothing new and no action was taken by the magnates. President Tcner announced that the controversy between Brooklyn and Cin cinnati relative to the money paid by Prooklyn for the release of Joe Tinker last spring would be amicably settled bv Charles Ebbets and Garry Herrmann sind would not be discussed further l.y the league. Minor developments of the day in cluded the statement yiat Charles riooin. former manager of the Phila delphia Nationals, had been offered a three year contract by the Federal league at a large salary together with a bonus for signing. Dooin said that lie was willing to sign with either a National or American league club at the same salary and forget the bonus. ATE TOOMiCH MEAT. X. J. IWM-tor Tlilnks That Might Have ;ivcn Hrk'kley Appendicitis. Cambridge. Mass.. Dec. 10. Too much meat in the training diet of the Har vard football squad may have been re sponsible for the attack of appendicitis which kept Captain Brlckley out of the game most of last season, in the pinion of Dr. Richard C. Newton, president of the New Jersey state board of health In a letter to one of the university publications. Dr. Newton says that "the idea that meat eating may cause appendicitis is so prevalent that it would seem to have some foundation." In fact, he suggests that "this ex tremely important matter deserves all the study i and research necessary to elucidate the question" TEN-ROUND BOUTS PLEASE SOME PUGS, WHO JUST DEARLY LOVE TO BE LADYLIKE Pweswr OF f Mew eMg KASY M4NMFR Of CbPte TPe Com The softest thing in the world for the present-day boxer is the no decision ten or twenty-round boot.

There is some thing In the name "Quigley" that Just naturally makes men of this family take to some kind of ball sport. Everybody knows E. C. Quigley and his little "bud" who are expert base ball and football officials. But out in Concordia another Celt of this name is making himself famous by way of the ball route. However, he is neither a baseball, football nor a cannon ball expert he's a dancing master. Having studied how to do the light fantastic and the can of wirgley worms under a famous Chicago teacher. I J. Quigley Is teaching the west Kansas gallants and fair maidens how to Trilby a la tango, and is holding classes in Concordia. Beloit and other places. There's nothing to it a Quigley whose first name was "Ball" would simply set the world on fire and over flow the columns of every newspaper in the land. Jim Gilmore. president of the Fed eral league, says Lee Magee is the only player the Feds ever have paid a bonus for jumping. "Tinker, Knabe, Dolan, Seaton and numerous others were paid nice sums of money when kthey jumped, but in all cases except UOrdOn It It it nf 1tfn9AA thp'mnnpv tin irl flown was an advance on the player's salary," says Gilmore. World's series of the future will not differ from those of the past in point of the number of gamea that must be won to cinch the title. The National league is opposed to the plan of forc ing a team to win five or six games to take the championship. When the question is put up to the National leaguers for a vote, it will be knocked in the hat. The National league's ar gument will be that the series will lose its punch if too many games are played. Chicago, Dec. 10. Bddte Collins will play second base and manage the White Sox next season. Jimmy Calla han, former manager, will be vice president and a scout for the South side team, also general right hand man to President Comiskey. He will be regarded as the executive head of the ball club. No official announcement has been made by Comiskey to the effect that Collins will be made manager of the South side team. However, that is the general supposition. Callahan, of course, was not In a position to say today that Collins would get the ap pointment. But from his conversation it could plainly be seen that he is of the opinion that such a choice will be made by Comiskey. Comiskey has been, after Collins for some time ever since the closing of the American League season. The "old Roman" often said that he would pay a small fortune if he could only land a player whose ability bad al ready been demonstrated. And he made good when he paid Connie Mack $50,000 for the release of Collins. Of course. Comiskey found an im portant position for Callahan before he made up his mind to relieve Cal of the management of the club. It has not been officially announced, but those close to Comiskey say Callahan is to be made vice president of the team. In other words, he is to be Comiskey's right hand man. He may do some scouting, because he's a great judge of young ball players. -iy catarrh was filthy and loathsome. It matie me ill. It dulled my mind.

McCarty has met with exceptional success in his bouts in the east and confidently expects to defeat Smith, as he has whipped the other men in his class. The Montana fans who were only warm In their support of McCarty are beginning to realize that he is a real fighter and hia man ager has received many offers to box in his own home town. "It's funny," said McCarty, "when I was out there they never bad much use for me. When I whipped Bob McAllister they said it was hick and laughed at my proposed trip east. Now it's different. I'll go back there in a while, though, just to show I can box." New York, Dec. 10. Three mem bers of the Phillies are preparing to jump to the Federals, tt is said. They are former Manager Charlie Dooin, Outfielder Sherwood Mageq and Third Baseman Hans Lobert- Both Dooin and Magee admit conferring with Otto Knabe, manager of the Baltimore Federals. Magee. wno declared that he would go to the Brooklyn Federal League club, has been offered $3,000 a year, twice as much as President William F. Baker pays htm. Dooin, who ad mits that he can hare the management of the Tip-Tops and a liberal salary, says he will make no move until the expiration of the ten-day notice he served on Mr. Baker. Lobert, accord ing to his teammates, is prepared to go either to Brooklyn or Baltimore. John McGraw of the Giants is said to be trying to influence the players to remain loyaL The little Napoleon is said to have offered five Giant play ers to Philadelphia for Lobert and Dooin. Dooin blocked the deal, re fusing to be any part of a trade that might benefit Mr. Baker. He says that unless the latter tenders him an unconditional release at the end of his ten-day notice he wiU take his release by going to the outlaws. The Federal League announces that It hopes to save more than, a quarter of a million dollars next year. The statement is hard to reconcile with the oft-repeated assertion that the Feds would sign up more big league stars next season than they did in 1814. If the Fed magnates continue the pace they capered last spring and summer in the matter of bidding and paying high to snatch the stars they did from organized ball, they won't be able to save a cent. If they don't continue the same pace they won't get any more stars. If they don't get the stars, organized baseball will be pretty able to canter along. Ergo The Feds are going to reach the crisis of their career next year. Maybe. Wichita. Kan..

The famous Kansas hen is ever "on the job," according to J. C- Mohler, secretary of the Kansas state board of agriculture, who paid this fowl a high tribute in speaking before the local and visiting poultrymen at a banquet tendered by the former for the latter at the Tiroop hotel. "She assiduously devotes herself' to business, be the weather wet or dry. the temperature high or low," said Secretary Mohler. "She pursues the even tenor of her way, laying her daily egg regardless of the political complexion of the party in power, or its ideas on the tariff, finance or the other great reforms statesmen so passionately agitate. "In a modest and unassuming way the Kansas hen piles up a business annually that exceeds in value the yearly output of the Klondike. Yet men risk their lives seeking fortune in the frigid gold fields of the north. The annual income from the sale of surplus poultry and eggs aggregates more than ten million dollars in Kan sas. This is an amount sufficient to pay the cost of the state government and the pensions of all our old sol diers in a year. It is more than the coal mined annually, and would pay the interest on our farm mortgages for two years. "What mother daily brings from the henhouse in her apron, pavs for the education of many a Kansas youth, and the eggs sold in a year would more than meet the expenses of our rural graded and high schools and the state university and agricul tural college. Any one of a score of counties sold enough poultry products in the past year to discharge the state debt. Whatever may be said of poul try, it is seldom. If ever, overdrawn. Hen Sadly Neglected. "Yet, in spite of her dazzling achievements, the unostentatious hen is sadly neglected. The care and at tention she so richly deserves she Is not given. Too frequently she has to rustle for herself. She converts nox ious seeds, scattered grains, bugs and insects into eggs, flesh and feathers, which the owner of the hen turns into currency. In periods of stress, the hen besides making her own way, may be a principal support of the family. "Many are the reports that In sea sons of adversity, the hen tided the family through, paid the taxes, met the grocer's bill, provided other ne cessities and paid te way to the nick el picture shows. Wliile the hen has done much for Kansas, Kansas has not done much for the hen. It would be good business for the state to more adequately recognise- the importance of the hen in our affairs, to empha size the prominent i place she should occupy on every farm, and let it be known how much greater her bene factions may be were she given treat ment to which she Is so abundantly entitled. Considering the investment, undoubtedly poultry,, is the most prof itable business of -animal-; husbandry. "So, here's" to the hen! May she increase and multiply and rise in gen eral appreciation, and. as others be fore me have said, 'May her son never set-' COLLEGE HILL VOII. West Siders Defeat Railroad T. 311. C. A. in Fast VoUey Ball Contest. In a fast scrappy game character ized by incessant volleying, the Col lege Hill volleyball team defeated the R. R. T. M. C. A. five at the "X courts last night. Seven games were played, the College Hill team taking four. The first game was won by the west siders by a score of 21 to 18. The next two games were the best that have been played on the Railroad courts this year. For volley after volley the score was 20 even. Finally a point was made and the Y. M. C. A. took them, 21 to 20. The fourth game went bad for College avenue. In the last three games the result was evident from the start. Becom ing accustomed to the new court the west siders found the -weak spots of the gymnasium and served into cor ners and under galleries at will. By one sided contests College Hill won the last three and the series. Hard consistent volleying won for the Hill. The Railroaders were strong at net and recovery and were aided bv excellent serving. "The players: R. R. Y. M. C. A. Reamon, Claussen. Boone. Kay and Boyer. College Hill Williams. Car ruth. Adams. Snyder and Billings. The scores: 21-18, 20-21, 20-21, 17-21. 21-15. 21-12. 21-11.

The 736 blooded dairy cattle, valued at $1,750,000 taken from the National Dairy show to Quarantine pens in the stock yards. November 1, have passed through i every phase of the foot and mouth disease since then and today appar-j ently had recovered their health com-! pletely. j They will not be released immedi- ately from quarantine, however. In a week they will be removed to a new; quarantine station outside the stock yards and will be subjected to every scientific test for trace of the disease before they are returned to their owners. More than 30 scientists including Dr. Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute oT New York, have studied the plight of this valuable herd. Only one of the ani mals died, though not of the foot and mouth disease. A Holstein cow, valued at $10,000, owned by Colonel G. Watson French, succumbed to n attack of acute indigestion. W. K. Skinner, general manager of the dairy show, who joined with others in the plea that saved the lives of the prise herd when the federal and state authorities had united in a determina tion to have them destroyed, was greatly pleased at the outcome of his ef forts. "If these prise animals had been de stroyed it would have put back the dairy business of this country more than 25 years," said Mr. Skinner.

He Never Had but One Wife at a Time. Jo, r .'V Ys C Girls With Melntyre and Heath In "Ham Tree" .Saturday. Independence, Dec. 10. Joseph Smith, president Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, died at his home here today. At his bedside were his son, Frederick M. Smith, who will succeed him as president of the church, and other members of his family who had been called from var ious parts of the United States. Mr. Smith was 82 years of age and has been in ill health for several months. Recently he became blind and was forced to abandon many of his duties as editor of the Saint's Her ald, the official publication of the church. Several days ago he was stricken with heart disease, and his death has been expected daily since. A history of Joseph Smith, who was a son of Joseph Smith, prophet, and founder of Mormonism, is a history of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints. It was he who brought together the little bands of Mormons in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri left be hind when the main body emigrated to Utah. He became the first presi dent of the Reorganized church, and held that office more than a half a century, until his death. He was a cousin of Joseph Fielding Smith, in recent years president of the Latter Day Saints fh Utah. The greater part of President Joseph Smith life was a struggle, as had been the life of his father, to place Mormonisn. upon a sound footing. He was born November 6, 1832, at Kirtland. O., where his father had gone two years earlier with a few followers, from Manchester, N. T. Soon after wards the colony moved to Missouri. There at Independence, the prophet, as he was known, established the "New Jerusalem" of the church, obeying, he said, a revelation. Enmity of other settlers, however, resulted in the Mor mons being driven out. Prophet Joseph Smith was arrested and placed in jail at Liberty, Mo. In the Jail, where the younger Jos eph, then 5 years old, spent the first night with his father, the prophet bent over the child as he sobbed himself to sleep, and to him commended the hopes and aspirations of the church. 'My mother accompanied my father to Liberty," Joseph Smith told, in lat er years, "but fearing for her life, my father induced her to go with members of the church to Illinois. His Life a Struggle. "I tramped across the almost -uninhabited prairies of Missouri to Nauvoo, 111., where my father, when he was re leased, joined us. Then, in 1844, when j I was 12 years old. one day his dead body was brought to us. He had been shot by a mob in Carthage, 111." After the death of the prophet most of the members of the church emi grated to Utah under the leadership of Brigham Yjung. Young Joseph Smith, remaining behind, worked as farmer and as a clerk and .studied law. This he gave up to effect, the reorgani zation of the church, which was formal ly accomplished at'-Amboy, 111., in 1860. Twenty years later headquarters of the church was established fin; ?.Lamoni, Iowa, and in 1906 a removal was. made to Independence Mo... where Fresident Smith made his home and where he resided until his death. President Smith was married three times, losing his first and second wives by death. He denounced polygamous teachings and practices and most em phatically denied that his father was a polygamist or sanctioned polygamy. Soft coal heaters at Forbes. Adv. HER IDEA OF WAR La DIarechale Will Give Lessons on Subject. Her Noted Mission .Worker on Un faithful Bride Tonight. Perhaps one of, the most interesting of all the discourses thus far delivered by Mrs. Booth-Clibborn in the special services 'eing.held at the First Metho dist Episcopal church was given last night. Her topic, "The Man Christ Could not Save," was based upon the story, of Simon and the Magdalene. In picturesque language and by gesture, tone 'and impersonation the story lived again before her audience.' The man God cannot save is the Phar isee. Pharisaism is the sin of the age: It is in the church and outside of it-' It is met everywhere. The Pharisee is the man who thinks more of the out side than of the inside. Appearance is everything to him and reality is noth ing. His life is 'veneered. He is usu ally a splendid critic. He knows how to find fault. He is proud and quite dignified. The Pharisee is a hard man, and hardness leads to cruelty. The Pharisee is .selfish and self-conscious. What becomes of Pharisaism before the cross of Calvary? The Pharisee before he can be saved must take the place of the sinner. The Master came to save sinners. There must be personal sur render to the will of Christ. Salvation is for sin and for sinners. Tonight she. will preach on, "The Un faithful Bride.", Miss Victoria Booth Clibborn will conduct a prayer service at 7 o'clock. Tomorrow night will be one of her greatest addresses, "Lessons I Have Learned from the European War." Miss Clibborn has been in ev ery country afflicted by the war and knows leaders in every army engaged on the continent. Next Sunday afternoon there will be a great meeting fpr men only at 3 o'clock. The Rev. John A. Bright will sing his famous "song; "Throw Out the Life-Line." Dr. Benjamin Young the pastor of the church says the services are growing in interest and helpfulness and urges all the people irrespective of creed affiliations' orvreligious belief to hear the MaBeehale.,,-.-j WORK ON DISPLAY Sunflower Agriculturists Have Display of Products.

Points of interest about Mclntyre and Heath, who will appear at the Grand on Saturday matinee and night In John Cort's magnificient revival of "The Ham Tree." They were the first to introduce the negro dances on the stage forty years ago. The comedians have not been apart for a day in forty yeans. Mclntyre has earned $300,000 in his "Georgia Minstrel" suit. Heath is an ex-circus clown: Mcln tyre was a bareback rider when a boy, in 1871, with the Van Amberg's circus. Walking railroad ties after failure of their first minstrel show led to the creation of "ham tree" and "biscuit bush" over which the comedians have made millions laugh. Both fun makers learned all about negroes, whom they imitate, while act ing as cooks on Mississippi river steamers. Heath was born in Philadelphia and is 57 years old. Mclntyre is 56 years old and was born in Wisconsin. The blackface stars always occupy the same dressing room. They have never had a- disagreement. The comedy team has broken more records than any other actors in the world. Their continuous partnership is one record, the life of their classic "Georgia Minstrels" in "The Ham Tree is another, and attendance at theatres where they appear is another. The contract with John Cort is for four years at a joint salary of $75,000 a season. Washburn's Play. The Play Boy of the Western .World will be the attraction at the Grand to- i morrow nignt wnen me wasnouru Dramatic club will present their annual play. Joseph and His Brethren will not fill Dec 21-22-23. having cancelled their Topeka engagement. A later date may be arranged. A Modern Eve will be the Christmas attraction at the Grand. At the Orpheum. "The Love Route" is pleasing im mensely at the Orpheum this week and will be the last offering of the Car-Rob company. Many think this one of the best if not the best play of the engagement and the big scene of the play in the third act where the railroad construction crew attempt to lay ties and rails across Miss Hous ton's ranch receives numerous curtain calls nightly. Part of the Santa Fe section crew assist in this scene, add ing to the realism. The. entire com pany do good work and the scenery is elaborate. "The Love Route" will continue the balance of the week with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. Topeks's Messiash). Mr. Charles E. Lutton of Chicago, who will sing the bass parts in "The Messiah" at the Auditorium Decem ber 16, has won praise from the crit ics of Chicago. The Chicago Music News says: "Mr. Lutton, who is win-, nlng much in his favor from numer ous appearances, had much to do with the making of the evening a joyous success. He used his sturdy baritone voice with convincing effect in "Woo I Thnn Tliv Snnvflabes" hv Sullivan 1 and Grant-Schaefer's dramatic "Song of Saul,' which is dedicated to Mr. Lutton. No program In which this singer appears would seem complete without a group of the humorous numbers which he has made his own. and he pleased the audience Immense- ly when this group was given. It was in the cantata with the chorus that Mr. Lutton arose to artistic heights and did his best singing of the even ing. At the- Hip. It is a wonderful production of Rip Van Winkle the Hip is offering for the last times this evening. When the picture opens Mr. Jeffer son is shown in his study. He picks up a copy of Rip Van Winkle and be comes absorbed in it. Then the story begins. At its close the actor is seen laying down the book, after which he drinks a health to the picture of his distinguished father as be thinks of Washington Irving's immortal story. At the Novelty. A new five-act vaudeville has been booked by the management of the Novelty to open with the matinee to day.

"I will not go into the details of this case either," Dean Kaye said, "but you will understand the unfitness of the home when I tell you that a crack in the floor of one of the rooms was used by the family to pour slop into." Dean Kaye criticized the court for allow ing the adoption of the child with out a proper investigation and said that the Finding society claimed to be un able to take the child back because of this adoption.

As national president of the Humane society, he told of this organization's work and explained many important features about it. Also, he suggested that those entrusted with the care of plac ing orphan children in homes should be compelled to make a thorough in vestigation of the surroundings and that the actual adoption of such chil dren should be delayed until it is found that the children are given the proper care and treatment. Dean Kaye asserted that the churches all churches have been too denominationally biased in their work along uplift lines and have thrust themselves before the public too much. This with a thousand oth er things, the speaker said, has led organisations to say that they would leave the churenes out or tneir uputt work. Also, the dean deplored the fact that imposters and grafters had used the church for a cloak in order to graft from the public while pre tending to be doing charitable work. Discuss Proposed Home. Preceding Dean Kaye's address, suggestions were made by Rev. Mr. Lone and Dr. Dora Martin on the drawing of a bill that will be put be fore the legislature asking for the establishment of a state home for fallen girls over 17 years of age who for various reasons are barred rrom the home at Beloit. The bill, as proposed, calls for the establishment of a self-sustaining in dustrial home, and it is probable that the legislature will be asked to pro vide a tract of 500 acres of land and suitable buildings and then the chari table organizations will make it self sustaining by giving the inmates work Iron For This Price $3.25 j The Fastest Heating OO OC Electric Toaster Made Pa6aa60 cuts. sized $8.00.

The Rev. Mr. Long was in favor of establishing 'county conservation homes in connection with the state in stitution, each county to provide for its own home and to bear the expense burdens. This plan was well taken by all present and it is thought that two bills may be drawn, one provid ing for the establishment of a state institution and the other making county conservation homes possible. The final report of the committee that has this matter in charge will be made at the meeting tonight. To Protect Girls. Also, Mr. Long suggested that a law ought to be passed that would provide an institution similar to the state in sane asylum where men who ruin girls would be sent and kept until they become cured of the disease of immorality. Dr. Martin Talks. In a short talk. Dr. Martin said that the establishment of county conserva tion homes had been advocated by her for the past twelve years, and sh? gave examples of young men who had gone wrong and had become crimi nals because of their early environ ments. "A child that is well born needs the proper surroundings to develop it into tha right kind of a man or woman," Dr. Mar tin said, "and a child that is not well born needs these things all the more.'' Dr. Martin also made a plea for the churches to take a greater interest in the clean life movement and quoted a Kan sas City minister as saying that over 2,000 gins traveled the white slave route during the last year. Dr. Dawson, of Kansas City, brought out the fact that environment is not alto gether responsible for the existence of vice and crime and stated that every human action la due either to internal emotions or external irritations and he asserted that edtninistering punishment is a poor way of curing a child of a disease of a moral nature. v OAKLAND NOTES.

PURSUE POLICY OTHER STATES Witnesses Say Existing Theory Rates Out of Date. Jobbing Centers Show Big In creases in Business. That it is the duty of the Kansas utilities commission to so build up freight rate defenses for Kansas Job bing towns as to absolutely prevent competition fronvKrint-outside the boundariesof the state, was the atti tude of Kansas Jobbers in auch points as Wichita. Hutchinson ad Sauna, indicated by the testimony of J. C. Petro of the Guyman-Petro Mercan tile company -of Hutchinson at the Bearing before tne commission this

I ..nth" have developed strong trade centers by establishing rate reg ulations which favor their own cities as against tne cmes ui aujumuis states," he declared. "The situation In Kansas presents the reverse, for now the jobber in the interior town can only hope to develop to a point where he .supplies the area over which he has the geographical control and within which his facilities for auick service and knowledge or weak credits give him command. When he has filled that field ne must stop, im jobber to the eastward holds tne command around mm wun mure -vorable jobbing rates." Today the utilities commission is trying to get evidence as to whether competition exists between the inter ior state jobbing towns, including those mentioned above, and Missouri river points such as Kansas City and St. Joseph. The inclination of wit nesses to air their knowledge of what they regard as discriminatory rates has impeded the commission's prog ress. Chairman C. F. Foley of the commission repeatedly admonished witnesses and attorneys to confine ex aminations to the point in hand. The commission has already taken much testimony in regard to existing rates. Frank C. Wood of the Jett-Wood Wholesale company of Wichita told the commission that tne solicitation oi business in southwestern Kansas by Kansas City traveling men in the groc ery line is going on today much as it has for the past thirty-five years. In supplying the financially stronger re tail businesses the Kansas City jobbers, he stated, maintained an advantage in a cheaper combined Jobbing and local rate than that commanded by the in terior jobber. The only advantage in the hands of the interior wholesale dealer lay in his ability to give quickei service, for which the smaller retailers were usually willing to pay a price higher than that demanded by the more distant jobber. Special local knowledge of credits enabled the Job ber on the ground to deal with small merchants not recognised by competi tors at a distance, he said. The wholesale jobbing trade done by three Kansas toirns Salina, Hutchin son and Wichita has grown from $2, 000,000 a year to $30,000,000 in the twenty-five years or so since the present general basis of freight rates to Kan sas was established, said Mr. Wood. In that period Kansas has made its prin cipal growth in population and produc tivity. He held the position that the existing theory of jobbers' rates is out worn and should be replaced by a new schedule of basic rates adapted to pres ent day conditions. Representatives of wholesale busi nesses in St. Joseph, headed by H. J. Krake, and others from Kansas City, Mo., with Traffic Manager Sangster of the Kansas City Traffic association as their spokesmen, have arrived for to day's hearing and will take part in it this afternoon.

After going east, she studied in the New Hampshire college, and took a course in household economics in Sim mons college. Boston.

Millspaugh will be held at Christmas time. Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Dewey and their little daughter of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Copeland and their son of Junction City, and Mr. Clarkson Mills paugh of Oklahoma will come to To peka for a holiday visit. Miss Clyde Bonebrake is in Kansas City, where she attended the wedding of her cousin, Mr. Lawrence Edward Spencer, and Miss Daisy Hoffman, which took place Wednesday night. Mr. Spencer and his sister. Miss Louise Spencer, have frequently vis ited at the F. M. Bonebrake home in Topeka, and have friends in this city. The following is an account of the wedding from a Kansas City paper: "The marriage of Miss Daisy Hoff man and Mr. Lawrence Edward Spen cer was solemnized last evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and :rs. Carl Hoffman, 3636 Walnut street. A' pretty bit of sentiment was the lighting of the home with candles, and their soft, lambent glow was reflected from tap ers in tall crystal and silver candela bra placed throughout the rooms. The mellow light was especially ef fective in. the living room, where it il luminated an altar of pink roses and daisies against a background of ferns. How She Discarded Unsightly Complexion How often I exclaimed as I beheld my "Sly complexion in the mirror. -If I only could tear oft this old skin!" And do you know. I've learned how to do that very thing? Not to actually remove the entire skin all of a sudden: that would h. 'it turoic a method and painful, too I nagine. The worn-out cuticle comes 'off III such tiny particles, and so gradually quirine about ten days to complete the transformation it doesn't hurt a bit. Day by day the beautiful complexion under neath comes forth. Marvelous! No mat ter how muddy, rough, blotchy or aged your complexion, you can surely discard It by this simple process. Just get an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax at your druggist's, apply nightly like cold cream, washing it off mornings. My wrinkles I got rid of by an equally simple method. By dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half-pint witch hazel and bathing my face in the solution, every line completely disappeared. First the finer lines, finally even the deep crow's feet, vanished entirely. Mona Morrow in Town Tattler. Adv. Before the ceremony, which was per formed by the Rev. J. D. Ritchey, several appropriate musical numbers were given by the Quintette club. The wedding cake, ornamentally frosted with roses and lilies of the valley, oc cupied the center of the table in the dining room, surrounded by smilax. Slender individual vases filled with Killarney roses and tied with tulle bows further enhanced the beauty of the table. The maid of honor. Miss Louise Spencer, vore a gown of Geor gette crepe, the short-waisted bodice and circular skirt trimmed with silk lace and she carried a shower bouquet of sunburst roses. Miss Mary-Rachel Curry, as bridesmaid, was gowned in pink taffeta with silver lace and car ried Killarney roses. The flower girl, Eileen Hoffman, wore a frock of pink crepe de chine trimmed in tiny rose buds and carried the ring in a basket of roses. The ribbons which formed the aisle for the bridal party were held by John Baker and Jack Hoff man, who wore suits of white velvet. The bride' looked very sweet and at tractive in a gown of liberty satin fashioned in Empire style, that fell in graceful lines to the long court train. Tulle finished the low necked bodice and formed the long mousque taire sleeves, and orange blossoms edged the high waistline. The lace veil, which was caught to the hair in a cap with orange blossoms, had been worn by the bride's mother on- her wedding day. The bouquet was a shower of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. Mr. Spencer was attended by Mr. William Hornbuckle. At the reception which followed the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Seldon G. Spencer re ceived with Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman. "Mr. and Mrs. Spencer left for the east and on their return will be at home, 4203 Baltimore avenue." Topeka has probably not realized how ultra smart she really was in the mat ter of her salon lectures last season. In a Chicago paper there Is a story about Miss Harriet Bogardus, who con ducted the salons in this city. She will hold matinee salons in Chicago at the famous Little theater. Her lectures will be preceded by a musical prelude appropriate to the themes, and Signor Roual S. Bahanno, Duke of Misilmeri, barytone, late of the Paris opera house, will make his first appearance in Chi cago at the first salon. The Topeka chapter of the D. A. R. will meet Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Morton Albaugh, in Har rison street. Mrs. Albaugh will ar range a musical program.

From an account of a wedding in a Cherry, Ok., paper, the readers Were enabled to glean the following infor mation about what the father wore: "The bride entered the drawing room on the arm of her father, who wore a gown of white charmeuse satin, trim med in Venetian point lace and with veil of the same." The sub-senior class of the high school will have a party Friday eve ning at the home of Mr. Fred Worley, in Potwin Place.

The rehearsal for tonight was, by mis take, announced to be held at the Auditorium. A rehearsal at the Auditorium tonight would doubtless be no less disturbing to the poultry there than to the singers. Nobody likes to be encumbered with a long coat while flitting over the ice.

To remove hairs you merely mix into a paste enough of the powder and water to cover the objec tionable hairs.

Reid Aria from Samson and Delilah Mrs. Ralph Skinner A Chicago woman, Mrs. John C. Hess let. who writes and lectures on dress, gives the following advice to women regarding styles. In choosing a gown, a woman should match it with her hair, but the trimming should be the color of the eyes. "Clothes should be made to fit the woman, and not the woman to fit the clothes," she said. "The styles of America, as well as the other coun tries, are designed in Paris. They are. I am told, designed for the actresses, later being sent to the United States. "Present day dress would be all right If it were not carried to ex tremes. The average woman of this country is well dressed. "In the evolution of styles women's dress a year or so ago reached an im modesty such as it had not had in a hundred years." she said. "So reveal ing of the form, and so lowering! Such tight dresses are extreme. We should leave something to the imag ination. "We women In our desire to keep up with fashion have been exploited by those who make the styles. It is their policy to change the fashion so that a garment worn one year will be out of date the year after. Last year, for instance, women's coats were tight. This year they are loose. "Many of the styles are Injurious, such as the tight skirt, the dotted and much figured veil, and the high-heeled shoes, which rob women of activity. "To dress successfully we must study our charms and defects, and dress to enhance the one and to conceal the other. Such defects even as round shoulders and large hips can be con cealed by properly made gowns. Mrs Hessler said that the Venus de Milo had been pronounced the ideal female figure, and that she had been judged by experts to be the figure of a woman 30 years old, 5 feet S inches in height, a waist of 27 Inches and 160 pounds weight.

The Beta Sorority of Washburn col lege will have a dinner party Satur day at the home of Miss Mildred Lewis. The men of the Kappa Sigma frater nity will celebrate founders day at a dinner tonight at Mills Tea room. The party will be attended by the mem bers and pledges, and responses to toasts will be made by: Mr. Merrill Ream, for the active chapter; Mr. Wil liam Whitcomb for the pledges, and Mr. Irwin Keller for the Gamma Nu Alumni. It is astonishing to learn how many Topeka women have been interested in the collection of dolls and how absorbing a fad it is. At the First Presbyterian church an exhibit was held yesterday and today in which some of these collections were put on display. A large and unusual assemblage of dolls is owned by Mrs. George H. Whitcomb, who has bought dolls in all parts of the world where" she has traveled. Peculiar among them are two Frau Kathie Kruse dolls, made entirely of cloth and painted and vi .Eveniue n.ru9 in nio-l tier iiuuiiu she got in Paris, and she has a wax and is shown with an old doll's bed. The Capper collection of home made dolls, on which prizes were offered some time ago, occupied one corner of the room. Note and Personal Mention.
