RUSS STRONGLY ATTACKING Desperate Engagements Be tween Vistula and Bug Rivers. Constantinople Reports Allies Lost Heavily in Assault. German assaults in force on the French lines are continuing and have been succesful in regaining ground previously lost on a front two-thirds of a mile long between Fey-En-Aye and the Moselle. The French official statement of the day admits this, while recording the breakdown of attack along other parts of the front. Thrust at Poland. In southern Poland, the Russian armies, driven over the Galician bor der, are fighting determinedly to check the Teutonic thrust at Warsaw. The most recent Austrian statement admits the Russians have been strong ly attacking 1 several sections. Petro grad tells of desperate engagements between the Vistula and the Bug riv ers, and claims to have checked the Austro-Germans at different points. but concedes a retirement in East Ga licia from the Gnila Lipa to the Selota Lipa. Vienna declares that at what seems to have been the chief point of the Teutonic attack in Poland near Krasnik, the heights to the north were taken. Turks Smash Allies. A Turkish statement declares the entente allies lost heavily in an at tempt to land reinforcements on the Gallipoli peninsula, and that the ef fort was frustrated. Twelve persons were killed and eight injured on the British steamer Anglo-California, from Montreal, by shellfire from a German submarine. The steamer arrived at Queenstown with the dead and injured on board. Petrograd reiterates the claim a Russian submarine sank a German battleship of the Deutschland class in the Baltic last Friday. This is semiofficially denied in Berlin. The latest advices from Berlin con firm recent intimations that the Ger man reply to the American note may not be delivered for several days, dur ing which time an agreement may be effected between the naval extremists and those favoring c compromise as to German submarine policy, it is hoped.

CELL IS COMING American Relic Being Removed From Its Home. Workmen Taking Out "Pealer" From Independence Hall. ITS PART IN OUR HISTORY Rang Out the Announcement of the 1776 Declaration. In Topeka at the Rock Island Station Thursday Morning. Philadelphia, July 5. Workmen began at sunrise today to remove the Liberty Bell, one of America's most treasured relics, from its case in In dependence Hall for its journey to the Panama-Pacific exposition. The bell was taken into Independence square where it was viewed by thou sands of persons who had gathered for the Independence day exercise. Later the relic was to be taken aboard a heavy automobile truck and hoisted on the specially constructed gondola car for its trip to the Pacific coast. The bell was to be escorted to the car by military and naval forces. The train known as the Liberty Bell special, and carrying city couii cilmen and their guests, was sched uled to start on its trip across the continent at 3 p. m. Before the close of the day the historic re:c will be a feature of holiday celebration in three Pennsylvania cities, Lancaster being the first stop. It was 139 years ago Sunday when the Liberty Bell pealed out the an nouncement of the declaration of in dependence. Its history has always been "the voice of freedom." In front of Independence hall on that day was a great crowd. It was not a gay and carefree multitude. Fancy and fiction have painted the scene in high colors; fact made it somber. The throng breathed the atmosphere of seriousness, solemnity and gravity. Its thoughts were too profound to study how liberty could be won against apparently insuperable odds to become ecstatic over resolu- I tion. And that crow a u years ago wan ed. The greatest men of the Colonies were within the building, facing the crisis of American history. And the bell in the tower of the hali was silent. Then all of a sudden it pealed out in clear, ringing tones, the fact that the men from the thirteen colonies had deemed it wise to cast loose entirely from Great Britain. And the ringing of that bell is history. The liberty bell will be in Topeka Thursday morning at 8:30 o'clock un til 10 o'clock. It will be accompanied bv Philadelphia city officials. The bell will be at the Rock Island station and expectations are that a great throng will be there. Governor Cap per has accepted the invitation of the O. A. R. committee to be there. School children are urged to attend the ex ercises. After an hour and a half stop here, the liberty bell, placed on the steel gondola car, will proceed on its tour westward. IS SULTAN DEAD?

I., and in several other cities today to clear up the mystery said to surround the iden tity of Frank Holt, who on Saturday, attempted to assassinate J. P. Morgan. Federal detectives throughout the country were following up clues which they hoped would reveal the chief events in his life. One of the import ant questions which they had to solve was that raised by the police of Cam bridge, Mass., regarding the possible identif cation of Holt as rJricn Muen-, I ter, a former Harvard instructor, who I disappeared from that city after tne death of his wife from alleged poison ing in 1906. Statements from relatives of Muen ter and men who knew him as a stu- I dent in Chicago, comparing aesenp tions of Holt with their recollections of Muenter. were read with interest by the detectives working on the case. Photographs of Muenter were com pared with those of Holt. Holt was questioned by police officers from New York and Washington. Major Pull man, superintendent of the Washing ton police, the last of the inquisitors, endeavored to locate the room that Holt occupied while in Washington be fore exploding the bomb in the capi tol. but was unable to do so.

The sudden change in plans for the delivery of the Ger many reply remained a mystery to day. The foreign office declared that the date of delivery Is Indefinite, but refused to give any hint as to the rea son for the postponement. Ambassador Gerard could not throw any light on the situation. He Inti mated that the reply might not be placed In his haniiH ror another week. Until late Saturday night confer ences were held at the foreign of fice. It was admitted the German American situation was under discus sion, but officials displayed the great est reticence regarding the conference. Whatever the nature of the proposal put forward by Germany, It is deemed certain that the German-American controversy will not be cleared up at once. The Germany reply will invite further communication from America. U. S rWITHTN RIGHT Sale of Munitions No Crime, Von Jagow Admits. Tells Jane Addams Germans Resent It Just the Same. New York, July 5.

June, 1915, was the fifth wettest month on record in Kansas, accord ing to reports furnished by the weath er bureau, and its rainfall, combined with rain of last May, is the greatest that has ever fallen in any two suc cessive months since statewide weath er observations were begun in 1887.. The heaviest rains occurred in the eastern counties, where in several in stances more than ten inches fell. but. with the exception of the western counties, there was a superabundance of moisture in all parts and warm, eunshiny weather was badly needed as the month closed. Since January first Kansas, as a whole, has received nearly 24 inches of rain, which is the greatest amount on record for this period and almost as much as has fallen over the state during any one of the past five years.

The greatest. battle since the fighting before Lem berg is now raging along a 60-mile front between the Bus' and Vistula i rivers. The Austro-Germans under General Mackenzen are throwing the full weight of their offensive against the Russians in an effort to break through to Lubin. The war office admitted today that the "ultimate result of the battle is in doubt." Official dispatches, how ever, reported the repulse of des perate attempts by the enemy to press forward.

XTori1imrt from One.l hend how much sorrow came upon us nine years ago when Erich was in dicted for the murder of his wife. She believed him innocent at that time because he was always a. good son, but what she would think- now that he has confessed to these other crimes I dare not guess. "Neither my mother nor Louise nor I have ever heard a word from Erich since he brought his two little daugh ters to Chicago, April 18, 1906, after his wife had died from arsenic pois oning in Cambridge, Mass. His daughters, Leona and Helen are now with their grandmother, Mrs. Moritz Krembs, 24 64 Diana Court, on the North side. "None of our family will go to Glen Cove to see our brother or to take part in his defense. The disgrace is a heavy enough burden for us to bear without more. I have been a teacher in the Chicago public schools for 11 years. I do not know I shall have the courage to face my scholars with this disgrace hanging over me. Fortunate ly it is vacation time. The school does not resume until September." Born in Germany. Mrs. Hughes, the elder sister set at rest all doubt as to Frank Holt, or Erich Muenter, being a German by birth. She said: "This photograph of the man who shot Mr. Morgan, the banker, and set the bomb that exploded in the capitol at Washington, shows that my brother Erich Muenter has taken the name of Frank Holt for years past. We can not be mistaken as to the identity. Surely we know our own brother. We knew him when he had no beard on his face and when he wore a beard. "All our family, father, mother, we two girls and Erich came to the Unit ed States from Hanover, Germany in 1892. We were all born in Hanover. When we landed in New York we all came on to Chicago. Our father, Vic tor Muenter died here in 1893. Erich, who was about 16 years old when we came, got work as a stenographer and supported all four of us. Taught at K. TJ. "In 1894 Erich entered the Univer sity of Chicago and worked his way through college by giving German and French lessons. He was afterward an instructor in German in the Univer sity of Kansas. In 1902 he married Miss Leona Krembs in Chicago, and they had two daughters. Leona is now 12 years old and Helen is ten. Erich went to Harvard university in 1904 to study for the degree of ph. d. and for a course in Germany phil ology. He got an appointment as in structor in German at the university at $900 a year. His wife earned $5j a month teaching school in Chicago until she went with him to Cambridge in 1904. She died suddenly at Cam bridge just as her third child was about to be born. "I always believed Erich was inno cent of the crime of murder, though I could not understand why he fled the country. He was a splendid fel low. "He showed no signs of being er ratic, though he was deeply inter ested in sex problems and at one time with others he formed a secret so ciety for the study of medieval mys ticism. He never expressed any sym pathy with socialism or anarchy. There was never any insanity in our family to my knowledge." Mrs. Eugene B. Stotts, of Topeka. stated this morning that she studied German under Professor Muenter when he was an instructor at Kansas University. Copper porch swings at Forbes'. Adv.

Morgan and the Mor gan children as hostages in their own home or to kill them if Mr. Morgan refused to use his influence to stop the exportation of war munitions. Despatches received here from Dallas, Tex., stated that, the Rev. O. F. Sen sabaugh, Holt's father-in-law, had taken steps toward engaging Martin W. Littleton as counsel for Holt, but Mr. Littleton said he had not received such a request. Mr. Morgan s condition according to the latest official bulletins continues to be most favorable and the physi cians attending him state that the bullets from Holt's revolver did not penetrate Mr. Morgan's abdomen. Holt was so weak today that when his keepers went to his cell, to arouse him, he could not sit up in his couch. Unless his condition improves rapidly and there seemed no reason to ex pect so radical a change it will be impossible for him to be taken into court for examination next Wednes day. All plans to submit Holt to a further questioning today were aban doned because of his serious con dition. Holt Badly Injured. Dr. Guy Cleghorn, the jail physician, was summoned early to Holt's cell. The physician examined Holt thor oughly and fourd that his injuries were graver than at first thought. Ex treme weakness seemed to be the chief feature of Holt's indisposition. This was due. Dr. Cleghorn said, to the great quantity of blood which Holt had lost from the wound over his eye. Two stitche3 had been taken in this wound, but the flow of blood was not entirely checked. When the wound was dressed today, it still evinced a tendency to bleed, and all possible ef forts were made to prevent a further loss of blood. In addition, Holt sustained a black eye; his shoulder was severely wrench- ea. ana ne was strucK a powerful blow in the stomach which left a mark that had turned black and blue. Holt is very sick," Dr. Cleghorn said, "sick physlcallyand mentally, he is apparently -exhausted and is unable to answer questions. Sheriff Griffenhagen of New York county came here today to question the prisoner. He stayed only a short time in Holt's cell, then left the Jail. Sheriff Griffenhagen said that he did not see how Holt could be taken into court next Wednesday, the day to which his examination was adjourned last Saturday. Morgan Is Cheerful. With the knowledge that his wounds were less grave than the doctors had first feared, Mr. Morgan rested com fortably at his home. East Isle, during the nfght, awoke much refreshed, and seemed cheerful. .The X-ray examination of yesterday had dispelled fears that one of the two bullets had entered the abdomen or shattered the bone. Both bullets passed through the muscles of the hip and out through his clothing. The only possible danger it was said was from blood poisoning, and this grew less with each succeeding hour. The physicians, therefore, felt justified in telling Mr. Morgan's family after their examination of him today, that he was out of all danger. For publication they issued the fol lowing bulletin. "The patient had a restful night. His temperature and pulse are normal. His general condition is most favor able. We consider him practically out of danger." Is Holt Muenter? One of the things that Sheriff Grif fenhagen wanted to clear up, if possi ble, was whether Holt had been in volved in the alleged murder of Mrs. Erich Muenter, in 1906. Muentor dis appeared from Harvard university after his wife had died, it was charged, of poisoning. He was never found. Former acquaintances of Muenter in Chicago have asserted that pictures of Holt showed marked resemblance to the man they knew as Muenter. These pictures of Holt, taken after the shooting of. Mr. Morgan, showed him with a bandage over his head ana this,, it was said, somewhat handi capped their efforts to identify him positively. There were also, it was baid. many striking similarities in the known his tory of Holt and that of Muenter, and in addition many points yet to be told the .police about Holt's life. One of these points, it was said, related to Holt's whereabouts in 1906 the year of the alleged murder. Sheriff Grif fenhagen 'questioned Holt closely a to this.- When Holt answered it was to deny vigorously and emphatically that he was Erich Muenter.. He did not know Muenter, he 'said, and had nothing to do with the murder of Mrs. Muenter. "Where were you in 1906?" Sheriff Griffenhagen persisted. Holt made him repeat the question several times. COUNTY LOSS $124,000 County Clerk SwayzCs- Estimate of the Flood Damage. Shawnee county will report a flood loss of about $124,000 for the present year when the subject of flood pre vention is taken up at the statewide meeting called for Topeka on July 9 by Governor Arthur Capper. County engineers have been particularly in vited, through the office of Stat En gineer Gearhart and the presence of all conservation enthusiasts has been requested. The estimated loss mentioned con-: sists chiefly of crops and other, pri vate property. The figures were fur nished by Oscar Swazye, who, al though probably better informed as to the general extent of the water loss than any other individual in the county, frankly confessed that it was the merest guesswork. "Engineer Gearhart wanted a rough guess as to what the high waters cost this county and I have endeavored to give it to him. I have placed the loss to bridges at $20,000 and that to roads at $4,000. The heaviest loss is that shared by the Individuals whose crops suffered," said Swayze. THE WEATHER BECORI).

The Bears won the first. 6 to 5. and the Topekans took the second, 7 to 3. Only the hardest kind of playing kept the Topekans from taking both ends of the program, and the winning run of the first game was not made until the tenth inning. The Bears made three runs in the second inning and two in the fifth, meanwhile hold ing the Savages scoreless. However, In the first of the sixth, Jimmy Jack son's men annexed four runs by bat ting Mitchell hard. Dell led oft with a single. Lattimore and Cochran doubled and Monroe and Trainer sin gled. In the seventh the count was tied when Mayer singled, was ad vanced on Dell s sacrifice and scored on Cochran's single. The Savages scored early in the sec ond game and Coffey's men were never able to get ahead of them. Singles by Maver, Dell and Rapps and a double by Lattimore and a triple by Sanders gave the Savages three in the second frame. Denver made two in the same Inning and tied the score in the sec ond, but the Savages put across three more in the eighth and one in the ninth and won with them. Sanders was relieved in the second when he hit Oalloway, walked Coffey and hit Shields. G rover took his place and finished the game in great style. The scores: First Game. DENVER. Plnyera AB. R.

In the City league twin games played at Western League park Sun day afternoon, all the honors were garnered by the Eagles and the Gem Grocerymen. In the first game the Eagles defeated College Hill Bakery by the score of 13 to 6, and in the second contest the Gems walloped the Palace 11 to 5. Both game swere one-sided and in both the victors found their opponents "easy picking." In the first the Eagles knocked Baker Harper from the box in the second inning, and Captain Heil and B. Bear took the mound with varying success. Wells pitched excellent ball for the Gems in the second bill, striking out six men and allowing only six hits. This afternoon the Gems and Eagles mix at 2 o'clock and the Palace and College Hill teams will wind up the fourth series.

He had the lead throughout, except a brief period near the 100-mile mark, when Eddie O'Donnell, in a Duesenberg, set the pace. The time was four hours and 5 6 seconds. Although they failed to make first place the Duesenberg team had a great day of it, O'Donnell finish ing second and Alley third. Billy Chandler, driving a Duesenberg, got the Beck Endurance Trophy, running 220 miles without a stop. Resta, winner of the Chicago race, went out in the 14 8th mile with a broken oil line. The duel between O'Donnell and Rickenbi.cher was one of the greatest in the history of the racing game. Rickenbacher was never more than a lap and a half ahead. It is feared that C. C. Cox, who was injured when his car dashed over the bank on the north turn, will die. Doc tors fear his back is broken. Vic Mc Graw, his mechanician, sustained a broken shoulder. Just as the race closed, a heavy rain beagn to fall and the crowd was drenched. BASEBALL TODAY. Western League. Topeka at Denyer, 2),' clear. St. Joe at Omaha, (2), clear.

The Capital Building and Loan Association. 534 Kansas Ave. Otto Wralker of California Ton Big Dodge City Race. Dodge City, Kan., July 5. Otto Walker, riding a Harley Davidson ma chine, won the great Dodge City motorcycle race Saturday and hung up a new world's record of three hours, fifty-five minutes and forty-five sec onds for the distance. Walker is from Oakland, Cal., and won the race at Venice in April, breaking the record which had been made on the Dodge City track July 4, 1914. Walker drove the entire distance at a rate of 26.56 miles an hour, as compared with an average of 67.89 miles per hour made last year. All motorcycle riders are accustom ed to hard luck, bui of all the heart breaking luck that be told at racing talkfests for years to come will be that of Marty Graves, Indian rider, who led the field for the last one hundred miles and with a lap the lead looked like a sure winner when he sailed away on his last lap and smashed a wheel on the back stretch. Harry Crandall won second place. Every record from ten miles up to three hundred was smashed in the race, pronounced by the motorcycle experts to be the greatest dirt track race ever ridden. Not a serious acci dent marred the race, which was run under perfect weather conditions for riders and spectators and on a track lightning fast. Carl Gowdy was third, Joe Wolter was fourth, Leslie Parkhurst fifth, and Alva Stratton sixth. A crowd of twelve thousand saw the race, many being kept away by the hard rain of Thurs day night, which mace many roads in the southwest impassable. Marysville Defeats Oketo. Marysville.

Today all of the folks are celebrat ing their alleged independence except the newspaper and baseball slaves. It begins to look like Denver will have to move in closer to her West ern league sisters. Every time a team goes to the mile high city a day is lost. Maybe Denver needs a real railroad. But it is certainly hard on financial ly embarrassed clubs to have to lose a whole day going to the Bear den and then have to lose on the gate re ceipts after they get there. It seems as though Tip O'Neill is really trying to employ competent umpires. Everybody seems to think that Mullin and O'Brien are the kind of men the club owners have been cry ing for. A semi-official rumor is in circu lation that the game Sioux City pro tested here on the muchly argued double force out play has been given to the Indians. Owner Savage, when asked about it said: "I have not been officially informed." Buck Ehman who pitched the last game for Lincoln against the Savages here last week has been performing on the mound for the past thirteen years. Buck and McAllister form the granddaddy battery of the West ern league and it is a pretty good battery at that. The Elks claim to be the best peo ple on earth. They attempted to prove it by staging baseball as th-i feature of their state conventions. At the New York state convention in Syracuse the Pirates and Tigers were engaged to give an exhibition, and 12,000 Elks and their friends watched the game at a dollar a throw. At the Michigan state convention in Grand Rapids the Chicago Cubs were engaged to play the Grand Rapids Central league team in an exhibition game, and 10,000 Elks and other folk saw the Cubs win, 7 to 4. One of the most remarkable come backs in baseball is Harry Covaleskie, the left-handed pitcher of the Detroit club. Covaleskie was considered out of major league baseball when five or six years ago he was sent to the Southern league. For a time his work there was only mediocre, and those responsible for his going there felt satisfied that no mistake had been made. But Covaleskie continued to improve, and finally became a star in that company and Detroit drafted him. He now is one of the best pitch ers in the league and is very likely to make a better record this year than he did last season. It seems that Fournier. the White Sox first baseman, is developing into a brilliant fielder. Praise of his work seems to be coming from every point in the west, and the Chicago scribes are satisfied that within a very short time Fournier will class with the best of the first sackers in the league. Gus Axelson of the Chicago Herald says this of the big Frenchman: "Fournier has been a surprise from the first. Even since Mack insisted that he was one of the best first basemen in the league he has been more closely watched than ever bv the critics. Now, the last few days a Donahue or an Isbell in their palmiest days could not have done any better. He has been digging them out' of the dirt, stabbing them with one hand, saving wild pegs without number, and he has been clouting the ball in the bargain." According to military standards, a soldier should be from 18 to 35 years of age, perfect in physique, and (in the United States) over 5 feet 6 in height. Where in the whole country could any set or class of men be found answering so perfectly the military re quirements as the ball players? They'd be grabbed without a moment's hesi tation. The training of a ball player his ability to run, in particular, his excellent lungs and nimble limbs would make him the special prize of the recruiting officer. And the new est phase of trench warfare, hurling hand-grenades, would simply put a premium on the employment of ball players. Any ball player, assigned to the task of throwing srrenades into the hostile trenches, would be worth half a dozen ordinary soldiers.

July will be a most an for the superstitious. Fridays in it. But this or four or five times a w-orld seems to wag about as usual during Possibly some of the subsidary reasons why divers of the appointive state officers should not be continued in their positions can be found among the numerous ardent admirers of the present state administration who might be willing to take such places. The gentleman who robbed Sedg wick county of $40,000 while he was serving it as county treasurer goes to the penitentiary with the prospects of being able to obtain a parole at the end of four years. In other words, tapping the till of a Kansas county for a comfortable fortune is almost as foolhardy an enterprise as is steal ing a chicken in the Sunflower state. All varieties of war are what Gen eral Sherman so aptly termed an armed conflict of men; including a labor war of the proportions that is now being staged at Chicago. An esti mate has it that this labor struggle means an economic loss to the people of the city of at least a half-million dollars a day. And this loss is sure to hit hardest those who are least able to stand il While a safe and sano Fourth of July is by far the i.-ore desirable va riety, it does seem to have put some thing of a crimp in the expressions of patriotism that used to be more pro nounced on this occasion. At any rate, a safe and sane Fourth doesn't appear to -savor of the real thing in this line to the older folk who can re call those of the noisy sort, the in sane kind, if you will. Some of the relations of money with, justice in this country are evi denced again by the fact that the pub lic authorities of Jackson county, Mis souri, cannot see their financial way clear to place Dr. Hyde on trial for a fourth time on the charge of having brought about the death of Col. Swope, unless the relatives of the de ceased are willing to contribute $7,000 to the expenses of such a proceeding. According to the federal department of agriculture, the Hessian fly, lias damaged the 1915 wheat crop to the extent of many millions of bushels throughout the entire country. And this happens to be a wheat pest that the farmers can combat with success if they prepare their fields properly and plant their seed at the right time. This planting date varies in the sev eral sections of the country and it is even not the same in the different sections of Kansas but the informa tion is available for any farmer who cares to take the trouble to seek it. PATERNALISM AND PIOXEERISM. A. policy of paternalism in govern ment and statutory morals is not keeping the faith with the pioneer spirit, declares Thomas W. Shelton of the Norfolk (Va.) Bar in the July Case and Comment. We boast of a progressive country, but when men are taught to lean upon the govern ment, instead of supporting it, the na tion is not progressing, but it is retro gressing. A nation is no stronger, purer, or better, than its people. Gov ernmental improvement is simply a corollary to individual improvement. That is the reason for popular cam paigns of education. It was a sense of personal responsibility and individ ual Independence that conceived gov ernmental independence and won it in America, and it is that spirit, alone, that 'will preserve it- This country needs fewer new laws and more real men; it needs less Jural regulation and jaor moral sensibility; it needs less public training and more domesticity; it needs fewer codes and more deca logues. It is certain death to man hood and good citizenship to lead men away from personal responsibility and self-reliance into the delusion of arti ficial standards. It is to be wondered if the soldiers of Italy use the stiletto, for which the Italians are so famous, when they're engaged in hand to hand fighting. j SAVING HERE, SPENDING THERE. There appears to be some curious anomalies in the information about business conditions throughout the country that has been gathered by agents of the federal reserve banking system. From Boston, for instance. comes the opinion that the weather conditions and the "wave of economy, which is affecting all classes," are probably most important factors in the business situation. Alongside of this is set the news from other centers that the motor car manufacturers are working overtime to supply the de mand for their wares. And so it would seem that the people are following the well known advice that they be eco nomical in small things so that they may be extravagant in large ones. They seem to be cutting down the I cost of their erstwhile high living so that they can indulge in the high cost j of automobiling. r Isn't it most fortunate that it j AI)OUt tirne for some company to wasn't a Zeppelin that dropped the j uegj.n the marine insurance of -wheat, bomb that wrecked the senate's pub- suggests the Great Bend Tribune, lie reception room in the capitol at After a man is fifty, observes Edi Vahington tor Kelley in his Toronto Republican. a pretty girl may tell him he is smart Ol'R AUTOMOBILE BILL. On June 1 of the current year the number of automobiles in the United States for the first time reached 2, 000,000, according to the .Scientific American, which continues: Figuring on an average of four persons to each car, which is very conservative, there are 8,000,000 people in this country in daily enjoyment of motoring. What it costs to follow this sport is of in terest, because of the stupendous fig ures involved. To run 2,000,000 cars for one year requires at the very least 1,000,000,000 gallons, of "gas" worth $130,000,000; 20,000,000 gallons of lu bricating oil, worth $8,000,000; 12, 000,000 tires, worth not less than $16 apiece, or $192,000,000;; accessories I and extra comforts, goggles, gloves, and caps, $50 per car, or $100,000,000; garage charges on short tours (exclu sive of gas and oil), $10 0 per car per year, or $200,000,000; repairs made necessary by wear, tear, and accident (exclusive of tires). $50 per car per year, or $100,000,000. Total running expenses for all cars in use, $730,000,- 000. Add thereto the value or tne 600 000 new cars purchased ounng j the rear at an average price of $750, or $450,000,000, and we get tne lm mense total of $1,180,000,000 spent in a single year u J,Jl motoring. Reports from Mexico are to the ef fect that the state of Cohuila has the largest wheat crop in sight that it has produced in ten year3, but there it will go to waste because there are no hands around to harvest it. And will somebody please explain how there happened to be Mexicans around to till the ground and plant this crop. WAR'S END NOT IX SIGHT. Most of the optimism that the Euro pean war would be brought to some sort of a conclusion by the end of the summer has probably been knocked into a cocked hat by this time. And more evidence that it is to be a much longer, war than most of the experts have been expecting is to be found in the news that German engineers are j now engaged in building a Syrian rail- way and a Sinai railway so that Ger- j many can convey j 1 j to Strategic localities lor a. iiemeuuuus campaign against the English for the possession of the Suez canal. In other words, it" looks as though the war were just getting well started. Incidentally, the prospective postal deficit of $14,000,000 for the fiscal year, which has just ended, gives an inkling of what the railroad deficit would be under governmental owner ship: that is. of course, unless the gov ernment undertook to put the rail roads on a reasonable business basis by increasing freight rates and passen ger fares. THE STRICTURE OF GERMAN V. What is the explanation of the Ger man people? What lies back of the j prowess of the nation not only in war but in the arts of peace as well? asks Frederic C. Howe, in the July Scribner j l in an article entitled "The Background p of Germany," and he continues: By what means has peasant country been able to project its life into indus try, commerce, and finance, and ex tend its conquests into every corner of the earth?

Encouraging words, from the Ellin wood Leader: Those who remember the big wheat crop of eleven years ago will bear in mind that year was very wet and for many weeks it rained about every day, making Harvest very difficult, many farmers being unable to get into their fields for days after the wheat was ready to harvest.

When I was young and In my prime, And that is lookln' back some time. A woman who was fortv-flve Looked like she hardly "was olive. She wore a cap and set around And knit and gazed down at the ground. At fifty she would dress in black And look like the hack end of a hack. But nowadays, when she's seventy, A woman's purty fair to see. She wears them corsets called "straight fronts," And does a lot of funny stunts. Is she not prim? Yes, ane js not, Fer she kin do the new fox trot. Instld of waitin' fer to die, She's purtv frisky and right spry. She has no time to sit and knit. She's no intention fer to quit This sad and mournful vale of tears And keens on ktiocktn' off the years. Instld of ploddin' up life's ridge. She's off somewhere a-playin' bridge. Or with the young folks at some dance. And waltzln' .when she has a chance. The women nowadays don't grow old. It s pleasant that this can be told; This is the life.

A There are some folks who are al ways being invited on little pleasure trips of one sort or another, house parties, auto rides, theater parties, dances whatever diversion the tastes of their social group dictates. There are other people who are sel dom invited to share their friends' pleasures. They seem fated to be left out. Quite frequently the second class re sents this isolation and points bitterly at the first class. Why should they be continually invited and we only in cluded now and then on sufferance? they ask. Nor sometimes this state of affairs is the result of the selfishness and thoughtlessness of the people who have. They prefer to give to those from whom they may receive again, to those to whom it is easiest to give, to those who also have. On the occasion of a certain big celebration when al most everyone was eager to roach a rather inaccessible point of interest, I heard a woman say, "No, we didn't take out our car at all. The Crad docks wanted us to go in theirs, you know. We took them the last time." Think of the callous selfishness of it! But there are other occasions when the people themselves are at least partly to blame for their isolation, namely, when they are of the type who never seem to have a good time. You take one of these people on an auto ride, you seek to honor her by placing her on the front seat. She seems uneasy and you find tbat she prefers to sit in back. It is necessary to pass through a rather unpleasant district on your way to the prettiest road you know. She does not fail to say how unfortunate it is that the city should permit such a dump to exist. There is a light wind. She remarks with a deprecating laugh that it is un fortunate for the automobilist that we have so much wind, because it is never so pleasant to ride in a wind. The road is being repaired in one or two places. "They seem to be always fixing these roads," she says. She is invariably cold or hot. and al ways obviously so. If she knows you well enough she has to get home at some set time, and just as you are approaching the love liest part of the drive, begins to gen teelly fidget lest you will not get her home on time. Of course none of her ciriticisms the of anything for which you are directly responsible and yet they make you feel vaguely uncomfortable. They seem a reflection upon what you are offering her. If you take her to a play, she won ders why the chorus is not so pretty as it used to be, regrets that the leading man is not sufficiently attractive to supply a plausible motive for the star's love, or wishes they would not play such worn-out music between the acts. Of course she always thanks you afterwards for her good time, but no effusiveness of manner or phrase can make you believe that she really had one. Futhermore you are sure that you did not, either. Few things are more depressing than the uneasy, critical state of mind in which this type of person always seems to be. The result is that when you are on duty bound you may take the critical folks, but when you are out for a good time you ask the folks that have good times, to have one with you and to help you have one.

For the first time in her life Delia wished she had been trained in some kind of business. All the women in England seemed to be capable of do ing some work in the great war crisis, and all of the Americans living in London were doing their utmost to help, yet Delia Thome could do noth ing. Even before the government war service had been started she had longed to offer her services in some capacity, for there was work in plenty for women who could fill the positions left vacant by those who had gone to the front. Every business house in the country was sadly depleted. Work of every description was waiting for those capable of using their intelli gence. To say that Delia Thome scorned her own uselessness in the time of tre mendous sacrifice and glorious en deavor on he part of the women of her country was putting her case mildly. "Twenty thousand women have reg istered themselves as capable of help ing in some capacity or another, and I can't even use a typewriter intelli gently or figure sufficiently well to sell ribbons behind a counter." Delia thrust this appalling fact tefore her own mental outlook a hundred timeo a day. She worked herself into a fe ver of resentment against the system of development, or lack of develop ment, that surrounded the idle rich. For Delia was one of the idle rich. A letter which reached the honor able secretary of the Women's Emer gency Corps was tho outcome of De lia's frantic desire to do something and to become a part of the great struggling nation. The honorable secretary, Miss Diana Mershon, tossed the letter to her brother, who sat working labor iously over the day's correspondence. Had Jack Mershon possessed half of the robust supply of health with which his handsome sister was endowed, he would have been in the continental trenches with his comrades. "There is a girl after your own heart. Jack," laughed Diana. Diana Mershon was an avowed suffragette, a successful organizer, and she could make a telling speech before a multi tude of people, but knew she would be a failure' as-a home-maker.; Jack smiied a trifle wistfully ard picked up the dainty little letter. "Hon. Secretary, Dear Madam," he read, "I am one of the old-fashioned, ultra-feminine type of girls. Is there anything you could suggest my doing to help the government war service? I can do absolutely nothing except keep house, since I have been per fectly trained for that purpose. I came to London expecting to be mar ried and all my training has been to ward that end. My engagement, how ever, has been broken and now I am free to occupy my time in business, if there is any opening for one so stupidly brought up as I have been. My position is such that domestic service is precluded. Is there a chance of any kind for me to do even a small portion of good in this striv ing world? Please do help me, if you can. I would be glad to keep house for some of you fortunate wo men who are out in the busy world; that I can do. Very sincerely, Delia Thome." Diana Mershon wondered, as her brother read this letter, if the thought it had inspired in her own mind would be suggested to him also. When he looked up she knew that it had. "Bully idea!" he exclaimed, as if Diana had already voiced her de cision. "We both need an intelligent person to take our household in charge, don't we, Di?" She smiled a bit wistfully as she gazed at her brother. "Poor old Jack, I know I have made rather a mess of homemaking. If Delia Thome can make an orderly home for us she will be doing her part in the Woman's Emergency Corps. I want a real home as much as you, but don't seem to know just how to man age it?" "You can do everything else so well, Di," he said fondly. "Here you are about to help another poor soul who is floundering about in the world. By Jove, you're a brick!" Jack Mershon never quite knew whether it was ad miration for his sister or relief in the prospect of having an old-fashioned woman in his household that drew forth his enthusiasm on this occasion. He cared not a particle whether Dedia Thorn's nose was aquiline or Grecian, or whether her hair was sunset gold or dusky black so long as she was possessed of no business acu men or ability for stump speaking. All he wanted was a woman who could attend to the household affairs as his mother had done, and make home a place he longed to get back to in the evening and hated to leave in the morning. When Delia arrived at the headquar ters of the corps- in answer to Diana Mershon's letter, she felt strangely elated. She had hungered so long to be of some service to some one that she entered Miss Mershon's office with a smile on her lips and a song in her heart. "I feel that you are doing this al most out of charity," Delia said to Miss Mershon, when arrangements for her to take charge of the big, untidy-kept home had been made. "No, I have not," Diana assured her frankly. "My brother she glanced over at Jack, who was trying his best not to stare at the new re cruit, "requires a real home. He had a bad fall from his horse some time ago and it has left him not perfectly strong. We business women seem un able to be in two places at once, and I must attend to the work here it is my duty, you know, since I am i capable of helpfng the country- If you can transform the four walls of this house into a real home for my brother and me I believe you will be doing as great a good for the country as any business woman could do." "I feel sure I can do that," Delia agreed shyly, but with a look of con fidence in her earnest eyes. A month later Jack and Diana Mershon found themselves lingering over breakfast and leaving the head quarters of the war service corps a half hour earlier than had been their wont. Home was no longer a mis nomer as applied to their reconstruct ed household. Without an apparent hitch in the domestic machinery. Jack and Diana shifted the heavy yoke of responsibility and went about their daily tasks free and remvigorated. The servants, too, seemed willing to do their share and to become a living part of the household instead of auto matons. Gradually the four walls of the Mershon house became home indeed, and Delia was directly responsible for the metamorphosis. She had been given the opportunity to exercise her one talent and she had succeeded even beyond her expectation. She was happy, too, and more than consoled for all that had happened. Even with George Craven, she told herself, she could, never have been so happy as she was-now with Diana Mershon and her brother Jack. "How shall we ever do without her?" Diana said to Jack one day while they were -still at the office. "What will become of us when she leaves us?" There was a look of positive terror in her eyes and her voice was decided ly unsteady. Jack smiled placidly. "Dear old Di," he said tenderly, "she will never leave us. I have already provided against such a frightful possibility. She has promised to marry me." (Copyright.

A rifle that shoots over the naraDet while the user sits in comparative safety in the trench without the neces sity of exposing himself to the fire of the enemy is a late invention brought out by a well known sportsman and described in the June Popular Me chanics magazine. The feature of this chanics. The feature of this invention is that the rifle is held vertically while the projectile is fired horizon tally. This is accomplished by a curved deflecting tube fixed to the muzzle of the gun, that changes the course of the projectile from the ver tical to the horizontal as it leaves the gun. In spite of the enormous fric tion that must accompany this change of direction, the tube as shown by actual tests, is not subject to excessive wear, while the effective range of a rifle equipped with this device is be tween 100 and 150 yards. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Getting even seldom results in an even temper. It is impossible to flatter some wo men; they are dead.

A foolish person is one who is un able to see things from your point -of view. It is easier for the average man to get next to a live wire than it is to be one.

Daintily Tie stopped and rested till he should be refreshed, ready for another step or two. "This is such a fine day," he exclaimed to himself. "Sunshine, fresh air. flow ers, fragrance it is fine to be alive on a day like this!" His 4iair-like littlo antenae reached around in front of him, back and forth, up and down, and reported to him about the agree able sights to be seen and the pleas ant smells to be smelled. "Almost would I like to visit with some one for awhile," said the snail to himself. "That was most pleasant meeting that little Tittle-Mouse, back there a ways'; now I would like to in crease my acquaintance further. This surely is a day for visiting, if. there ever was one." But, though he looked most carefully around, not a creature was to be seen, and he soon drew back his dainty feeler and crept on. He had not gone very far, however, till j there landed on his back with an aw- ful thud a heavy body a great heavy body, that quite tumbled the poor lit- tie snail over sideways.

Then he waited a minute. Nothing happened, so he raised the front end of the shell a tiny, tiny crack and listened. And what do you suppose he heard? Oh, you never could guess!

Already the encouragement and pro tection offered the birds, through the efforts of bird lovers in every com munity, is bearing fruit. Never have birds been as numerous and as friend ly as at present. It is no uncommon thing to see as many as ten or fifteen different varieties of birds in one neighborhood at the same time, and most of them put in the daylight hours catching insects. In every com munity are men and women who ap preciate the birls and who try to safe guard them from boys with rifles and from prowling cats. There are state and national laws which are intended to protect the birds, but without the co-operation of citizens in every com- munity, these K.ws are useless. Leavenworth Post. ALL EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW. The attorney general is going after certain lodges in the state that are alleged to have been using their char ters and their secret work to conceal the fact that they keep and sell liquors to their members. The attorney gen eral says that there is less excuse for these rich men to hide behind their clubs in order to sell liquor than It i for the poor man to form a club to get his beer. Possibly there -is no ex cuse for either of them, but there Is certainly no. justification the rich man can give for the violation of the law, either in his richly furnished club, or in the back alley. If men really need, want and must have liquor, they can get it without violating the law.- Lawrence Gazette. n From Other Pens J A CREDITOR NATION. The United States is rapidly becom ing a creditor nation. At the outset of the war, when Great Britain de clared a moratorium, so far as its own debts were concerned, and demanded payment of air balances due it, there was much alarm in this country. But the bankers raised the famous gob! pool and sent it to Canada. This was a convincing illustration of the sol vency of this country. Most of .that gold has come back. Gold has also been pouring in from other source until the banks of the New York City Clearing House alone last week car ried a reserve of $1,384,156,300 in ex cess of legal requirements. The ex cess was over four times that of th same week last year. Tha reason is plain. We have been selling to Europe without buying much from it. Instead of having to send gold to settle bal ances, the gold is being sent here. This is why the price of London ex change is lower than at any other time in half a century. Chicago Tribune.

Anderson Porter, colored, was ar rested Saturday evening by the police on a charge of assai on Theodore Anthony. The alleged assault occur red last week when it is claimed Por ter attacked Anthony, who is a wealthy stockman or Norton county, because Anthony refused to purchase liquor. Jesse Shaw, superintendent of the city water plant, has estimated that there are 33,000 persons living in ter ritory covered by the city's water ser vice and that each person uses an av erage of 76.1 gallons of water each day. He also figured that one pound of coal put under the boilers of the pumping plant, pumps 188 gallons of water. Charles Estis, 1036 North Jackson street, was fined $75 Saturday after noon in police court. Estis had a dis pute with his wife about two weeks ago which terminated in his destroy ing all her canned fruit a-d furniture. He was arrested Saturday and when searched at the station a black jack was found in one stocking and a pair of brass knucks in the other. Mrs. Henrietta Calvin, a former To peka woman, and for several years dean of women and head of the de partment of economics at the Kansas State Agricultural college, is now re garded as one of the authorities on home economics. She was recently ap pointed head of the home economics department of the national bureau of education at Washington, D. C. Three hundred and six gopher scalps were brought to the office of O. K. Swayze, county clerk, late Saturday afternoon by Printest Wallace and Eldon Wallace, two negro boys. The scalps brought a bounty of $45, $15.30 cents from the county clerk and $30.60 from the owner of the land on which the scalps were obtained. The goph ers were trapped on the land of Hor ace Adams, west of Rossville. Topeka is fast becoming a spotless town. Last Saturday some one ex pectorated on a sidewalk in front of the city hall and indignation spread to Eighth and Jackson streets, and the city sanitary department was panned for not performing police duties and apprehending and arrest ing the culprit. The charge is also made that frequently the same thing takes place on lower Kansas avenue. According to Fred Robertson, Unit ed States district attorney, there are fifty thousand foreigners in the state who are subject to military duty in their native lands provided their na tive governments can induce them to return. They can not be taken forc ibly out of the United States. The aliens subject to military duty are those who have not taken out natur alization papers. Their children are also subject to soldier service. Mrs. Robert L. Payne, 304 Taylor street, is suffering from a fractured arm and Miss Genevieve Houser with severe cuts and bruises on the body as the result of an auto accident on the Silver Lake road about half way between Silver Lake and Rossville Sunday afternoon.

The Importance of Selling Customers What They Ask For A store's service is judged by the intelligence dis played in supplying the wants of its patrons. Serving customers satisfactorily mean3 supplying them with products they ask for. This paper has a discriminating class of readers, and the greatest asset any retailer can have is to secure and hold their patronage. Our readers know what they want, so whan they ask for any product by manufacturer's or trademark name, give them the identical article asked for. Any attempt to palm off a "Just as Good" will likely result in the loss of a sale and a valued customer. More and more dealera are daily experiencing the ad vantages of selling customers what they ask for. The advantages are "quicker sales" and "better-pleased cus tomers," and it is a well-established fact that plea3ed customers will become permanent customers. The growth of any business depends upon the alert ness, thoroughness and intelligence displayed in cater ing to customers' wants. The readers of this paper have money to spend, and you can get jrour share of it if you'll always give them what they ask for.

Although it has sained more than 1,000 fti population In the past year, Shawnee county still lacks almost that number of the desired 70,000 which j was set as her record two years ago Just before the disastrous drouth sura s mer of 191S. The hard times follow lngr that crop shortage robbed Shaw nee county of the greater part of its floating- population as well as of hun- dreds of young men who left home to seek work in other parts. The good times of the past year have put back naif the loss. Another year of pros perity, at this rate, should return Shawnee county to the 70,000 popula tion mark. Following are figures for the last Six years, including for 1910 both the -state and federal census returns: .1915, 7,199; 1914, 63.869; 1913, 70,091; 1912; 64,226; 1911. 60,698; 1910 (fed eral), 61,874; 1910 (state), 62,550. SHOULD BAKEWiTciGARS Then Give Them a Bath, and They W'fll Smoke Well. 1 The English bake their cigars thor oughly in the oven until all the niois ture and nicotine are dried out. As is well known, they have the pick of the tobacco crop over there, and what f they apply to the best of cigars might I well be administered to those of in ferior quality which are smoked in America, Here is what every smoker should do: First. -loosen the cigars in the box and let them stand on or near" a Btove j or radiator until. aDsoiutery ary. A moment before smoking wash the cigar in water on the- outside and dampen well the wrapper. This may be dona at the table by holding the cigar by the tip in a glass. of drinking water, taking care not to wet the filler. Then wipe the tip end, before cutting it off, on the napkin. Water revive? the leaf and restors its natural flavor. What you have previously dried out In the oven iB not water moisture. It Is the bay rum and other spirits which are frequently sprinkled over the cigars after boxing to keep them look- ing fresh. Both the wholesaler and the retailer often sprinkle them again before showing them to customers. It is these SDirits that impart such a i strong odor to clothes in which cigars are earned. Drying ana wasnmg ai terward will make for a better smoke, to say nothing of better health, in cases where very cheap spirits have been used on the cigars. Science, however, warns you to bake and wash cigars for still other rea sons. The gum tragacanth, or paste, which is used to fasten the leaf at the tip, breeds several more or less poison ous fungi. Such molds are sometimes noticeable in the form of white pow der along the outside of the leaf, but are more likely to run along under the leaf on the inside.-'In the former case, it comes in contact with your mucous membrane. If on the inside you are likely to suck it into the mouth without knowing it. These molds are liable to produce sores or A Harness W TL-s, v Psrf1 iZF.

By baking and washing your cigars you not only get rid of the mold and sbme of the nicotine but you improve the flavor of the cigar. Some men, after drying cigars, place them in a refrigerator, where they absorb water, and smoke them when they get as cold as ice. The government is now considering the advisability of compelling the proper sterilization of all paste used in cigars1 and requiring that boric acid be mixed with it to kill the spores of the molds. It means to stop the use of vinegar, alcoholic solutions, glycerine and other things used to re store the luster of cigar leaf and to prevent importation of cigars which have been subjected to such practices. Cigar luster is lost in the process of boxing, cigars. The manufacturer puts tobacco leaf in soak the day be fore making it into cigars, then spreads the leaf on a table with damp cloths over it. The cigars are boxed wet, so that heavy pressure must be exerted to press down the covers. Be cause he has not sterilized his paste and killed spores of the molds in it, the moid breeds in the damp cigars while in transit, and the luster disap pears, ine government hopes to teach smokers to do without the lus ter and get better cigars.

FELLOW Kl IK MY OPMlOM W0HAr4 5UTFRAOC WILL BE 1MPE fV&OUT THE YEAf O JOSHUA Everyone knows the elephants at the zoo, but everyone doesn't know that they drink beer. Teetotallers will be shocked to hear that Nelly, the eight-year-old lady elephant, is the worst drinker of the lot. She shows a decided preference for bottles of Bass, though as a rule she has to be content with the leavings of bottles and any half emptied glasses that may be left about. Elephants, at least captive ele phants, have queer tastes. One mem orable day in 1908, Suffa Culli. the mighty and popular Indian elephant at the zoo, ate his bed! A 3 6 -pound truss of straw had been put down on the floor for his comfort, and when the keeper went around in the morn ing, not even the bands of the truss remained. Suffa Culli followed it up during the day by eating three trusses of hay, weighing 150 pounds. Finally some one brought a number of Christmas puddings into the elephant house. Suffa Culli swallowed his pudding without even opening the cardboard box which contained it. The average giraffe loves nothing better in the world than a good square meal of flowers. It hasn't the slight est idea, however, of the distinction between artificial and real flowers. Some years ago, when "garden hats" were all the rage, the giraffe at the zoo made a day of it. In that glorious 12 hours it accounted for no fewer than 17 hats, the majority of which were chawed beyond recognition be fore any rescue could be made. One of the funniest mistakes a giraffa ever made, funny for lookers on that is to say, was when a peacock strolled in its paddock. The peacock's tail caught the giraffe's eye. and evi dently the animal mistook it for a gigantic and luxurious new species of flower. At any rate, before anyone could interfere down came the giraffe's long neck, and, seizing the peacock by the tail, it was hoisted in midair. It wasn't long before bird and tail said good-bye to one another, and the peacock fluttered away screaming with indignation. Though a trifle as tonished at the proceedings of the newly discovered flower, the giraffe chewed the tail with great gusto. The ichneumon is an animal that every housewife should possess. There is no finer judge of eggs in existence. The ichneumon, in fact, makes a study or eggs all nis lire, and ne is not par ticular whether they are hen's eggs or turtle's eggs so long as they are j eggs. ii is impossible to aeceive the animai with regard to their freshness. If a dozen fresh and partly fresh eggs are mixed up together, the wily little animal will pick out the fresh ones with a certainty and quickness which is positively amazing. At the zoo he is only provided with the gen uine new-laid. He would have to be in a very bad way before touching an I egg which was "shop-laid." The pythons at the zoo are also dainty creatures. Xothing but the youngest and tenderest of rabbits will satisfy them. Sometimes, however, they get a bit sick of rabbit week In and week out. and then they will eat anything which strikes their fancy. One. for instance, suddenly took a fancy to its blanket and, what is more, ate it. When all is said and done, the greatest eater is the elephant; Good Friday is their gorgeous day. A keep er once kept a tally of the number of buns an elephant took down. For six hours on end one Good Friday it swallowed buns at the rate of 400 an hour J Pearson's Weekly. SPORT SKAP SHOTS.

The marriage of Miss Verna Sjo lander and Mr. Fred A, Mims took place Saturday afternoon in Atchison, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sjolander, relatives of the bride. The wedding ceremony was read by the Rev. A. i. Ilaggett, and after the service a wed ding dinner was served.

A Kansas woman is to be one of the active workers for the Congressional Union which is maintaining offices and holding a convention in San Fran cisco, California, in connection with the Panama-Pacific Exposition. This new worker in the suffrage ranks is Miss Irish Caldeihead, the daughter of Congressman W. A .Calderhead Her aunt, Mr. Calderhead's sifter, Mrs. Samuel Forter, of Marysville, was a speaker in Topeka during the last campaign, and made an address at one of the large political meetings held in this city. Miss Calderhead Is a cousin of Mr. Cecil Forter, of To peka. She is one of the latest re cruits to the ranks of the Congression al Union, and she has proved herself of the. stuff that good workers are made. On twenty minutes" notice she prepared to make the trip from New York to San Francisco to work for an organization that the day before had been but a name to her. She is one of the best examples of the sort of enthusiasm that the Congressional Unionists feel for their aim toward a federal amendment enfranchising women. Miss Calderhead is a pretty young brown-eyed girl who had just finished a post-graduate course at Bryn Mawr and had gone to New Tork for a good time prior to taking a very desirable position as English teacher in a Wich ita high school. She had worked for the suffrage campaign in Kansas as a lark, mildly opposed by a conserva tive family. But Miss Calderhead happened to stray Into the Congressional Union headquarters in New York, where Miss Doris Stevens and Miss Lucy Bums, two of the Union's most attractive and zealous workers were blocking out the plans for the grei't California conven tion that is to bring the voting wo men of America into political conclave for the first time. It was a sort of suf frage talk Miss Calderhead had never heard. It made her visualize for the first time the hosts of enfranchised women of this country who are plan ning o array their numbers and en thusiasm and altruism against a group of politicians whom they charge h.we "not caught up with public opinion." The two suffragists saw the enthus iasm of the young girl. 1 "Will you go to California to help us organize?" asked Miss Stevens, as if she were saying "Will you cross the street to post this letter. "I'll have to go home to pack and wire for some money," was the amaz ing response of Miss Iris Calderhead. Within iwelve hours she had started for the coast. Miss Calderhead has just arrived in San Francisco after her hurried flight from the distractions, friends and gaiety of New York. A speaker of poise and eloquence she is arranging a series of Congressional Union street meetings which will explain to the man on the street, and also the wo man, just why suffrage is once more coming to the front in the suffrage states "not for ourselves, but for the woman who can only beg, not de mand," as she puts it. Miss Calder head is also directing the clerical work at the Union's downtown headquar ters in San Francisco at 125 Lick Building, and spending a part of her time making converts at the Congres sional Union for Woman Suffrage Ex hibit at the Exposition. "I eama a long way to work for the Union because suffrage seems to me the biggest po litical issue before the country; so I think I ought to be able to persuade others to work for the Constitutional Amendment." The Fourth Of July celebration at the Country club today includes golf and tennis games, a dinner, a band concert and a dance. Some of the players on the links and the tennis court took luncheon at the club and stayed all day. To night there will be the regular din ner, and afterwards Marshall's band will give a concert from 7:30 to 9:30. Following the concert will be a danc ing party for the club people, with orchestra music. Among those who will nave guests to dine with them at the club house, are: Mr.- and Mrs. William Collin son, who will entertain eight or ten friends; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Koontz, whose table will be set for ten; Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Auerbach, who will have a family party; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. House, and Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Low. Mrs. Charles F. Spencer and her son, Mr. Alex Spencer, left Saturday for New York, where they will remain most of the summer. Mr. Spencer will take a summer course in Co lumbia university, specializing in the department of education. He was a teacher last year in a Kansas City high school. It is rumored that there will be two concert series in Topeka next winter instead of one as in years past. It is also reported that the Radcliffe series, which have been held at the Grand for several seasons, will be conducted in the high school audi torium. Mr. and Mrs. Warrick Updegraff entertained about forty of their friends at a picnic party today at their home north of town. The faculty of Washburn college and their families, rno s'.ftl remain in town, will have a picnic tonight on the Washburn campus, with supper at 6 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Thomas. Frank Thomas, jr., and "Togo" start ed yesterday on a motor trip to Staf ford, Kan., where they will visit for a week with Mr. Thomas mother. They were accompanied as far as Emporia by Miss Rose Dale, Miss Simpson and Miss Emly Ryan. Miss Dale said toaay that the trip to Emporia was made over splendid roads but reports from the district about Newton were to the effect that heavy rains had rallen yesterday morning and the -.Thomases antici pated heavy traveling as they went farther west. Mr. Thomas declared before he left Topeka that he expected to buckle into the harvest, just now in progress at his boyhood home, but legal docu ments will be required to prove any such participation. The evidence will all be in next Friday or Saturday when the party returns. The gown in the drawing was fashioned of navy blue crep; de chine. The bodice was a plain sleeveless model girdled with a length of the material having an applied patch of the same embroidered in grey at the front. The sleeves are of self-tone chiffon. The gathered skirt has two patch pockets also embroidered, the skirt being cut with a little extra fullness below these pockets and gath ered into the lower edge of each. Narrow tucks and a pleating of the material trim the skirt bottom. Mrs. L. D. Whittemore of the art department of Washburn college has had pictures of the anniversary pa geant of Washburn, given early in June, made into lantern slides. These slides will be shown tonight in the outdoor amphitheater on Washburn campus. The exhibition of the pic tures in elides was to have been held Saturday night, but was postponed until tonight. In addition to the pic tures, Mrs. Whittemore has arranged to repeat some of the tableaux of the pageant. Everyone interested is in vited to attend. A nominal admission fee of 15 cents will be charged to de fray the expense of making the slides. Mrs. Whittemore addressed the Langstaff class of Central Congrega tional church Sunday morning on early art. She spoke of the Ma donnas and other Biblical subjects dealt with in art by early painters, in mosaics and on canvas. A Topeka doctor who has bought a handsome new automolie, succeeded indisposing of his old car for a mod est sum of money. A few days ago he went home and told his wife he had seen an old friend uptown." "Who? what? where?" asked the eager young woman all in a breath. "It was our old automobile, and it's now a jitney." Seems almost like selling an old, faithful, broken down horse to a cab man. The following friends were enter tained at a picnic party today by Dr. and Mrs. F. O. Boyd at their country place. Oakwood: Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Crabb and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Crabb and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS (By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.) Dear Mrs. Thompson u As I am a broken-hearted woman, I wish you would give me some good advice. My husband is kind in some ways, but he has such a stubborn disposi tion. He never comes home from work and finds me away. I always have his meals ready, and try to keep my house clean, and always look neat and tidy myself. I do everything I can to please him. He can always see what some other woman has on and how much work she does. If he ever sees anything I do, he never says any thing about it. It doesn't make any difference what I buy in the way of clothes, he never says anything un less I ask him. He rather acts as if he were mad. I just feel that I can't stand it. A BROKEN-HEARTED WOMAN. As long as a little appreciation means so much to a woman, it seems a shame that husbands do not give more to their wives. Since your hus band is one of the many selfish, thoughtless men, you may as well make up your mind to do your best just for the pleasure you will get out of the work itself and keeping up ap pearances. In time you will get great satisfaction out of doing things well regardless of what your hus band thinks. And who knows? Per haps he himself will in time come to see the folly of his present course. m Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Will you please give me a remedy for falling hair? (2) I am going to have about ten or twelve couples at my house to spend the evening. They are to be young people from sixteen to twenty years of age. Will you please give me some games that would be suit able; something besides cards and dancing. (3) I wish to invite the girls and their boy friends. Should I send the boys invitations or let each girl in vite her friend? BROWN EYES. (1) Brush the hair every night. The brush must have long bristles, rather far apart, in order that they shall reach the scalp and the stroke stimulate as well as polish the hair. Also there must be a massage every night. A tonic put on at the same time is likely to hasten the improve ment. A mixture I like is made from a dram of alcoholic tincture of cantharides. half a dram of tincture of capsicum, two drams of nux vomica, three-quarters of an ounce of cocoa oil and two and half ounces of cologne. If the hair seems to be heavy with natural grease, one more likely to agree is made from half an ounce of alcoholic tincture of can tharides. three-quarters of an ounce of spirits of rosemary, glycerine and aromatic vinegar, with an ounce and a half of rosewater. (2) I have not room in the column to describe games. (3) Send the boya invitations. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a girl of seventeen years. I have been going with a boy for ever a year. Is it all right for him to kiss me good night on Sunday nights? We both admire one another very much. My parents think he is an exception and his parents think the same of me. He is nineteen, and has a real good posi tion In my home town. (2) What would you do when a very good girl friend would coax your boy friend off to go with her? Would it be proper to go with him again? Should I have anything to do with her? Do you think she is what she ought to be? (3) Should you after returning home in the evening always express to your boy friend what a nice time you had and thank him, after going picnics and at this time of year might be of help to those who wish variety in providing a picnic lunch. Line muffin tins with a rich pie crust and put into them the following mixture: Two-thirds cup dried currants, half cup sugar, one tablespoon melted but ter, yolks or two eggs beaten well, ona with him for over a year and feel cup milk, a little salt. Flavor with toward him as a sister? rl vanilla. Put in oven and bake about half an hour, or until custard is thick. MAXIMS, (1) It is not considered right to kiss a man before you are engaged to him. If the man you refer to in question one is the same as the one in question two, I would certainly ad vise you not to kiss him. You would compromise yourself by doing so when he is so easily "coaxed" away. (2) I would exert my ingenuity to try to keep him myself. Yes. if you want to. Yes; don't let her think that she has made you jealous; it would be contrary to your interests. I can't judge without knowing her. (3) Always thank a boy for a pleasant time. HOUSEHOLD HlTS. Canning: and I'rcserving. Sweet Pickled Strawberries Pre pare two quarts of berries as for can ning. Add two cups sugar and slow ly heat mixture to boiling point. Add half pitit vinegar and continue boil ing ten minutes. Then keep the ber ries over a slow fire, but below the boiling point, for one hour. Place berries in Jars and boil sirup until it thickens. Fill jars to overflowing with the sirup and seal at once. When canning cherries, if you should like the flavor of raspberries, take one-fifth as many berries as cherries; you will find that they make a much richer pie than cher ries or berries alone and are not nearly so full of little seeds as when the berries are used alone. Sweet Pickles One gallon good vinegar, ten cents' worth saccharine j sugar, one cup salt, two ounces ground cinnamon, two ounces ground mustard, two ounces ground cloves. two ounces ground alspice, one ounce j ground alum, four ounces ground j horseradish. Stir everything togeth- er. (Thia will make three gallons of pickles.) Pour over pickles, let stand two days, pour off, let come to I boil, let cool, pour back on, cover i with grape leaves and weight. They will keep for a year. Take from oven and spread on top a frosting made of the whites of the two eggs beaten stiff and four tablespoons granulated sugar. Place in oven and brown. This will make one dozen tarts. Currant Pie Two eggs, one cup sugar, one tablespoon flour, two ta blespoons water, one cup mashed cur rants, two tablespoons granulated rugar. Fill pieplate lined with crust with the following mixture: Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and all the flour, water and currants (which have been washed, stemmed and mashed). Mix thoroughly and bake until done. Wren cool cover with a meringue made by beating the whites of the eggs very !,tilT. adding gradually with the egg beater, the sugar. Put In moderate oven about eight minutes. IT MILITARY SUIT 3 New Way to Label Fruit Jars Cut out pictures to represent the dlf- ferent kinds of fruits and vegetables j from seed catalogs ar.d magazines. j If there are not enough pictures for j every kind, copies may be cut from white paper and tinted with water j colors. This method of labeling is I especially nice for home canned vege- I I tables. Another thing is that it gives employment to the children. They will enjoy cutting out pictures and making duplicates from a pattern with their paints. Carrot Conserve Dice carrots very small and cook very tender, cooking the water out of them.

BRINGING UP FATHER I VMST YOU JO TAOCE. h,' 5CENIC-ALRoAO:. WEST AT BELOIT Supreme Court Justice Delivers July 4 Address. "Progress of American Altru ism," Subject of Speech. Beloit. Kansas. July 5. America is the most altruistic nation, according to Judson S. West, justice of the Kan sas supreme court, who spoke at the annual Fourth of July celebration here Saturday. Judge West pointed out that recent years, and months, in the United States have witnessed the most arduous efforts for peace and the most persistent offers of our good offices to preserve it in both American and Europe. The speaker took as his topic "The Progress of American Altruism." He cited American history as examples of the progress made. "In the beginning." he said, "when the federal constitution was framed three specific, though not express recognitions of slavery were placed therein. These fixed the bapis of rep resentation, forbade importation after 1808 and required fugitive slaves to be surrendered. But the Civil war, a war of progress, abolished slavery al together." The war of 1812 was one for pre serving our rights on the high seas, he pointed out, and the war of 1861 for the preservation of the Union by i the extirpation of slavery, therefore one for human progress, "The war of -1868 was begun and completed solely to relieve an ap pressed neighbor and in no wise f or conquest, our nation acting simply as the Hood Samaritan." he continued. "The return of a portion of the Chi nese indemnity after the Boxer re bellion was the first application of the golden rule to the principles of international law." The only war in American history not actuated by the higher motives. Judge West asserted, was that of 1845. "Two years ago the English Lord Chancellor addressing the American Bar Association at Montreal took as his text "Sittlichkeit," and dwelt upon the spirit of friendliness and comity prevailing among the nations, some of which are engaged now in the most horrible war ever known." Judge West concluded. "But already this Lord Chancellor's country has recalled him for acting too much in line with the text of his address. "It is to be hoped that our nation, which" has made such marvelous prog ress in altruism and which recently celebrated one hundred years of peace with the mother country, may, before long, be able to assist in allaying the strife across the sea." FIREMEN OPEN CONVENTION. Twenty-Eighth Tournament at Coffey ville Draws Several Hundred. Coffeyville, Kan.. July 5. -Several hundred Kansas firemen are iere at tending the twenty-eighth annual con vention of the Kansas State Firemen's association, which began a three-day session today.

The celebration here Saturday was spoiled by an inch of rain- that fell between 1 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The morning was. cloudy and cool and the parade was held as scheduled. Many good floats were in the procession. The wheat crop is very promising In spite of the wet weather of the past few weeks but some clear warm weather is needed to ripen the grain. The people are very optimistic over the prospect of a crop. This, is shown by the large number of improvements being made and the number of auto mobiles being sold. There are about six hundred in the county now and the agents can hardly get them fast enough to meet the- demand. ESTABLISH STAR MAIL ROUTE.. Better .Service to Platnville Route Runs From Hays. Plainville, July 6. The Commercial club has scored a victory in the ef forts for better mail service. A star route will be established between Hays City and Plainville to start August IS.

Storms Have Ruined Thousands of Acres of Grain. Jennings, Kan., July 5. A hall storm laid waste thousands of acres of wheat just ready to harvest here Saturday, north and east of Jennings. FLIES ARE ICARCE. Rarely Are More. Than Half a Doien Found in Any One House. As a result of three seasons of fly swatting, flies in the residence part of the city are scarce. In many locali ties there are eo few flies that the resi dents were, not aware that the fly sea son is on. J. A. Ramsey, city sanitary sergeant, has received reports from twenty housewives in each ward in the city, or 120 for the entire city. The method followed was to call by telephone and inquire of thr- lady of the house as to the number of flies in her home. As none was expecting to be called, there was no opportunity to prepare for a good report by clearing the house of flies in advance, so the reports in dicate a fair average for the entire city. More flies were found in the- hornets in the Third ward than in any other part of the- city. The Second ward made an especially good showing. In many homes no flies at all were found, and six was an exceptionally high number. Several housewives who are devotees of the fly-swatting faith reported that as a result of con stant vigilance they had killed from two to six flies during the season. And they said they had not let a single fly escape that had been discovered in the house. Not a single unfavorable report was received. Every person questioned said that flies are less numerous this season than last, and that last season showed an improvement over the sea son previous, which was the time the anti-fly campaign began.
