MEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Bureau of Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. With the individual bankers of this nation loaning the Entente Allies ad ditional sums to the aggregate of $700,000,000 and within a brief period of ninety days, Germany, perhaps, may well be pardoned for making wry faces again at the neutrality of the United Slates towards the Ku ropean belligerents. Of course, the United States as a nation has not par ticipated in these loans or any of the other huge ones that have been made by American'" to the enemies of the C-ntral Powers, and there is no ac tual violation of the neutrality laws of the world in the making of these loans. But the practical effect of them Is to strengthen materially the sinews of war of the Allies, and it is conditions and not theories that are facing the Teutonic alliance these days. How ever, Germany would probably have little difficulty in negotiating a big loan in this country, if there were any way to get it or its equivalents to Ger man chores. In other words it is the control of the seas by England d ber ailies that gives them the advan taKa of bartering as they will with the individuals of neutral nations. And it 'is an advantage fairly earned by the naval preparations that Eng'and has made for so many years for just suc'j an emergency. The fact that fashions for women have recently been the antipodes of the Noah's Ark fashion-plate (see the toy shops), is made evident by Laura I. Baldt in "Clothing for Women" Lipptncoit's). A series of illustra tions showing all the historic types of costume for women brings out this fact, though Miss Baldt omits to say anything about it. It also points out to the observing eye. that only at a few periods have feminine fashions been equally free from Mrs. Noah's concep tion of what was proper. The Greeks and the women of very recent days were least affected by her notions. But, alas! Signs now point to a return to the styles affected by the Mesdames Noah, Shem. Ham and Japheth. It may be interesting to the rather numerous ukulele enthusiasts in these parts to learn that this "Hawaiian" musical instrument was originated or Invented by a Portuguese, who is still at the head of a ukulele manufactur ing plant at Honolulu. Therefore, the ukulele falls far short of being a musical instrument that has been handed down by the Hawaiians from the remote periods of their race. In other words, it is not a native Hawaiian instrument, although It is indigent to those islands, and the original ones being made from the koa wood of that land. It is this wood, properly 'sea soned and properly shaved and fitted that gives these instruments their delicately peculiar tone. The comments of coal men in all sections are fully warranted, declares The Black Diamond, one of the im portant publications devoted to the coal trade, when they say that the present market Is abnormal. There are all of the excited buying and the t-dvancing prices which accompany a genuine famine for coal, and jet in very few parts of the country are fires necessary, and in other parts only light fires are maintained. Thus there are all the accompaniments of a famine when coal is hardly being con sumed. And the expla! ation is that the people want to put in some coal but are not able to buy It, because the coal supply is scarcely up to the de mand these days and because the car rhortase that is pretty general all over the country, is responsible for unusual delays in getting the coal from the mines to the local coal yards in anything like adequate quantities. PLAYING THK 'CELLO. A simple air played on the vio lnncello calls for a total expenditure of energy equal to two and three- quarter pounds per note or more than four tons of energy for the single selection, notes the Popular Science Monthly for October. Thia statement is vouched for by I'rotessor Poffen Nerger, of Columbia university, who made some experiments In his labora tory with the aid of the famous Dutch 'cellist Michael Panha. A special ap paratus is necessary to conduct tha tests. Against the surface of a revolv ing carbon cylinder la suspended a chalked point which la actuated by a slender wire attached to the musi cian's finger. At each pressure the tension vibrates along the communi cating connection and records tha energy expended. At a recent test Michael Penha at times raised the point to a distance equaling three pounds in weight, that being the rec ord of the forefinger. The pressure alone required to produce the char acteristically luscious tones of a simple Bach aria averaged two and three quarter pounds per note. The total energy expended amounted to nine thousand four hundred and fourteen pounds, or more than four tons. Thia same amount of energy would be suf ficient to carry a laborer through his entire day's work. Yet it took but five minutes for the artist to exert the same amount of force. WHAT IT COSTS TO Rl'N A FARM. Operating expenses for the average eastern Nebraska farm, according to surveys made by the farm manage ment department of the Nebraska ag ricultural college, and conditions in this respect should be about the same in eastern Kansas, total very close to $1,600 a year, or from 57 to $7.60 per acre. This figure included depreciation charges on buildings and machinery and the value of all labor, including that of the farmer himself, at the rate of wages for hired men. It does not Include the interest on the value of the land. On $100 land, this would be at least $5 per acre; on $150 land, $7.50, or as much as all other expenses com bined. Operating expenses are about the same on all farms with the exception of the extremely large or extremely small farms, regardless of whether or not they are showing a loss or return ing a profit. This is evidence that it is impossible to reduce the expense of operating a farm below a certain point, and that profits are not made by reducing ex penses but by increasing farm receipts. "MURDERING" AND "KILLING." Plain, Simple-minded Yankees, in heritors of the up-and-down ethical code of the Pilgrim Fathers, labor under a sad misconception, it appears, when they imagine that "killing" and "murdering" are the same thing. In Kentucky, they take a much saner view of this question, according to Eleanor Mercein Kelly, whose new Kentucky novel, "Kildares of Storm." is announced by The Century Co. Mrs. Kelly says that in Kentucky there is a subtle distinction between these agreeable occupations, a dis tinction that lies not so much in the character of the occupation itself, as in what people think of it. In other words, a "murderer" is man whose crime is condemned not only by the courts but also by public opinion. But if. when you have killed your man, people in general think that you ought to have killed him and are justified in having done so, you are a "killer," and you belong in a differ ent class altogether. Evidently they don't love all their neighbors down there. And will some other obliging Kentuckian kindly ex plain? STANDARDIZED STEAMSHIPS. England has drawn upon the United States for many things since the out break of the war, and the import of American munitions, machinery and raw materials has reached figures that quite dwarf those of the most active periods of peace time, writes Lewis R. Freeman, in the October number of Popular Mechanics Magazine. Yet, continues Mr. Freeman, great as are the figures for these physical articles of import, it seems likely to be found when a restored peace gives men the time and the perspective to weigh the ponderable with the imponderable, that the import of American "ideas" will be adjudged to have been a more potent factor in British industrial mobilization than American machinery and raw materials. The remarkable British project for building standardized ocean-going steamships was decided upon, un aoubtealy, after construction of this character had actually been inau gurated in the United States in the course of the present building boom in ocean tonnage. The significant thing about the British move is that, tho they are following an American plan and an American lead, they are in a position, and are undoubtedly re solved, to carry out their plan on an Incomparably greater scale than would be possible to undertake it In America tor a good many years to come. In defining standardized shipbuild ing one need go no further than to say that it is carrying to freight steamer construction the same prin ciple of interchangeable parts as has been so successfully followed by Amer ican manufacturers in the turning out of practically all industrial machinery, and notably automobiles. In short, the plan contemplates the building of a steamer Just as mu.h to a model as is done with a motor car. This will have the effect not only of cutting down the initial cost from 15 to 25 per cent, but also of saving several hundred per cent in the cost of repairs and replacements, and. what is even of greater importance, often days and weeks of time. The following is a brief ouilire of the scheme Enclam! is Lurrying to put into execution, as told me recently by one of the di rectors cf the newly formed company which has the great work In hand. ."We have an ideal aite for our first :ards on the Kiver Wye, near the Bristol Channel, with a launching depth of forty-five feet. Coal and iron are cheaper here than in any other part of Great Britain. Almost immediately we hall begin work on slips for ten ships of between 8,000 and 9,000 tons displacement and of exactly the same model. These same slips will, however, be capable of tak ing 'types' up to 12,000 tons or more, and the aggrega.e number of them will be increased Just as rapidly as pos sible. Before very long the keels of a score or more steamers should have been laid down. The more ships that can be built of absolutely similar size and design the better, 1 provision will be made to the end that transi tion from one sise of ship to another can be effected with the change of a minimurr lumber of standardization units. That is to say, it will be so ar ranged that there will be many inter changeable parts between ships of even as great disparity as 9,000 and 15,000 tons." Your opinions are good until some body else presents better ones. The really skilled workman at any trade or profession is seldom out of a job. Every man is a most remarkable be ing in his own eyes at least. So is every woman. Probably the easiest thing in the world for a man to do is to excuse his own faults. If it didn't pay eo well to be decent. there'd be many more of the other kind of people in the world. A Stockton undertaker who now has i auto hearse is advertising that "everybody is dying to ride in it." Two cardinal principles of courtesy. suggests Charles E. Sweet in the Hnr ton Headlight-Commercial, are: Praise tne car you are riding in: Laugh at the other fellow's Jokes. Never endeavor to ingratiate your self with others, is some excellent ad vice from The Square Deal, published by the prisoners at the state's peni tentiary. If your personality is pleas ing true friends will come to you. What is tonsilitis? asks Ruth Alex ander Pepple in the Women's Column of the Erie Record, and she proceeds to answer to her own satisfaction, at least, as follows: Tonsilitis is a red hot coal the shape and texture of a cockleburr rammed amidships of vour esophagus and epiglottis. What's up, can t go down, and what's down can't get up. It s lots of fun. and if you want to find out the particulars, come over and let me wish mine onto you.

Be sure it is a big town and not a big head that is calling you. It is as easy to be unfair as it is important that you shouldn't be. The fact that some canned sardines are imported moves us to wonder why. A solo or two preceding or follow ing never makes a lecture any more interesting. Ion't step on the toes of a friend and expect him to understand that you couldn't help it. Working will make you forget your enemies, and keep you from quarrel ing with them and going to jail. The fact that Rome wasn't built in a day has served as an excuse for a lot of loafing since that historic time. Few men have a favorite movie actor, the new stars in the movies be ing so handsome that most men hate them at long range. On meeting an old schoolmate for the first tire in many years a man is reminded that he has forgotten most of the things he learned at school People get a lot of good advice when that isn't really what they're looking for; what they want is to be told to do what they really intended to do anyhow. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Also the path of duty leads to ulti mate happiness. Just now the closed season for coal chuting is beginning to open. Being good is very monotonous if it shuts off our innocent amusements. The wife of a lasy man always thinks that other people misunder stand him. Courtship is the juicy grape and marriage is the appendicitis? Cer tainly not! It takes a man to explain things to a woman that he doesn't understand himself. There's something wrong with the small boy who isn"t the victim of a chronic case of hunger. Ever notice how few people there are present when any one happens to say something nice about you? A successful financier is a man who can separate other men from their money without the aid of a sandbag. JATHAnm JOTS OH SPUR OF TEE MOMENT WW KOI M. HOIILTOX. A Needed Invention.

Probably you had been punished in a way that seemed unfair to you, yo i were burn ing with a sense of injustice, you wanted to make the grown-ups sorry, and so you decided to run away. You pictured yourself going down the atreet with your clothes wrapped up in a handkerchief, you imagined your mother coming to your room snd not finding you. Mavbe von planned a note to be pinned on the pin-cushion, a touching note that said perhaps you would come back some day. Perhaps you even went so far as to write that note, or even further, and shook the money out of your bank and packed some of your clothes into a bundle. And then something always hap pened. Maybe you told your mother you were going away in the hope that it would make her repent. Or, maybe, as you had hoped she would, she came up and found you getting ready and kissed you and you de cided not to "make the world jour pillow" that nig'it. But I started to write about the runaway spirit nd here my pen has run away with me. Plans to actually run away belong to childhood but the runaway spirit never leaves us. Only it manifests itself in different ways as we grow older. When we want to make people sorry we some times vaguely plan a much longer journey. Fortunately the thought that it is a journey from which no man re turns, safely deters us. Besides what is the use of making people sorry if you can't see them? I never envied any one so much as Tom Sawyer the day he attended his own funeral. Again the runaway spirit mani fests itself in our restless belief that somewhere else, in some new home. in some different business, in some new locality, some new relationship, we should be entirely different from what we have ever been before. We want to run away from our selves. And we can't. We can gradually change those serves but we can't suddenly get away from them. The widest way is to estimate one's powers, recognize that they can't be ruddenly changed, use them to their fullest, and slowly but surely eniarsro them. (Copyright by George Mat thew Adams.)

EVENING STORY Wedding Lace. (By Louise Oliver.) Gordon glanced down at the girl beside him, then out to the tennis court where Lorita was waiting. Then he looked back at the girl. He didn't know her, that was patent all the offerings of the summer hotel had so far not produced any one so diverting- as to looks. He threw away his cigarette and blew out some smoke, then said before he knew it, competely contrary to his erood old New Kngland brintring up: "It's foolish to waste time on knitting j on a day like this. Why don t you ploy?" She looked up from her vards of exquisite lace and answered .quite composedly. "Please don't think I don't want to. but this is a work of necessity it's wedding finery." "Oh, I see!" Then he took a step involuntarily toward the court and Lorita, for he i.aturally associated Lorita with a wedding; he was going to marry her in the winter. But something held him. Perhaps it was the girl's serious gray eyes or the graceful curve of her neck as she bent over her work or merely an in teresting pallor that contrasted strong ly with the wholesome, healthy sun burn of the others. I say can't you chucl; it just for a few minutes. Come on and play in this one set with us and I'll find you a partner. It's a shame to waste this weather on that stuff!" She shook her head with determina tion, but an appreciative smile light ened her face. "I'd just love to, but I can't. Weddings don't wait, you know." "All right! You're the doctor. Sorry!" he answered. "Coming com ing!" he called, as Torita beckoned impatiently. "Hanged if that "rirl isn't a peach for looks. Lucky fellow to get her!" Then her wor.ls came back with force. "Weddings don't wait'" she had said, and it struck him suddenly that his own nuptials were approaching with rather a breath-taking speed. Four months would consummate the plan so long dear to the heart of his parents. Lorita. a black-eyed beauty of rath or a Spanish type, was talking with Captain Mateer. "I was just telling Paul," she explained, "that I would have to start you in training right away in order to have you in form by the time of our wedding. Un punc tuality, is your worst fault, Gordon. .We've been waiting fifteen minutes. 'I've a good excuse!" "I saw your excuse just now!" Lor ita's eyes flashed. "Did you? Well, she's pretty any way, don't you think? I asked ner to play." "What?" "I wanted her to play tennis with us. You see. she looked so lonely and white and I thought But Lorita had gone off into ptals of laughter. "Oh, Gordon, you'll kill me. Come on let's play. Here's Peggy going to play with Paul. No, I'll tell you the joke some time again. I hate to spoil it by hurrying." So the game began. That nigl.t Gordon was called away on business. When he returned to the hotel, a week later, he was amazed to learn that Lorita and her mother had departed, and a day later he learned of her marriage to Captain Paul Mateer. He returned to his offlco and hard work, thoughtful and sober, but not crushed in soul and spirit as his Xew Kngland conscience told him he should be. In fact, he felt somewhat by spells as though he'd like to lift up his voice and sing or shout or do something to show the relief he felt at his unexpected release. But after a while reaction set in and he felt a vague longing, indefinite and unac countable at first, a desire for some thing he could not name. But grad ually the want took form and out of the chaos of his thoughts appeared a pair of sea-gray eyes and a tired, white face looking gratefully at him. Ihen he cursed himself for a fool letting her get away without finding out her name. But after all she had been making her wedding clothes, so perhaps it was quite as well he had lost her. November came, dark and dreary and wet, and the third veek brought a letter from his mother. Obeying instructions, he went -d a tea room to meet her one afternoon ft 4. Outside the rain was coming down cold and penetrating, half mixed with snow, in side was warmth and the rose glow of low lamps. Japanese girls glided noiselessly among the tables bearing tiny cups of tea and pla-es of cakes. Gordon looked around aprovingly. his artistic eye pleased with the scene. Then he 3tarted, for there t the next table was his summer girl and she was knitting. Her fingers flew among the intricate threads and her eyes were intent upon the pat tern. "Is isn't it finished yet?' asked Gordon across the space. The gray eyes flashed up at him and suddenly widened and darkened. And was it imagination or did a faint rose touch the dead whiteness of her cheek? Then she smiled. "No, it's never fin ished. But you are not served ye Can't you come over here? It's so un sociable eating alone." He needed no second invitation. "111 come if you stop knitting. Don't you think it's bad for you so much of it. I should think your hus band would rather have you in sack cloth with some rtres In "our cheeks instead of all that fuzz stuff and he stopped lamely. "My husband!" She looked blank. "Why should you think that I'm to have a husband?" Then suddenly she laughed. "Oh, I see! I said it was for a wedding and you thought It was for mine. How funnyl Why, thts is the way I earn my living! I make this to order hundreds of yards of it and I don't dare to waste a minute.

Through Edwin McKeever, attorney, the Topeka State Fair association filed a separate answer in the damage suit brought against it and Samuel Lux and W. W. Webb a year ago because of injuries alleged to have been sus tained by R. E. Darby when a racing automobile crashed thru the fence. The answer alleges that Darby has settled with Lux and Webb and that by so doing he has relieved the fair association of any further responsi bility. It also states that before the automobile races were started em ployes passed around the track with megaphones and warned -everyone standing around the track that they occupied dangerous positions. It holds that Darby was guilty of contributory negligence when he continued to oc cupy a dangerous position after the warning. The fair association asks for judgment against Darby.

MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED Officials Remain Silent on Death of Three Spinsters. Lancaster. Ohio. Oct. 4. While the funeral cortege of the Smetters sis ters, Agnes and Alice, wound slowly up the hillside to the little family burying plot today, an Inquest Into the death of the two maiden ladies and Miss Mary Stretton was In run nroaress. with officials remaining mysteriously mute as to the theories of the cause or oeatn. rouna aeaa in their rocking chairs last Sunday night, no one has yet been able to advance a clue as to the cause of death. Asphyxiation is generally blamed, but asphyxiation by what poisor fumes is unknown. Coroner Bugh, after a night inquest, admitted today that he was baffled. Congestion of the lungs points to asphyxiation, but no leaks in gas fixtures or piping; have yet been found as the source of the poisonous gas. Following a clue which may point to murder by poison, the stomachs of the three women are being analyzed bv state chemists who refuse to divulge what their analysis nas shown thus far.

Similar invitations are being extended to merchants in about four hundred other cities of North America by other newspapers, in co-operation with the Bureau of Advertising, American News paper Publishers Association. We want this city to be banner spot in this Continent-wide demonstration. Our invitation is not only to your self-interest but to your civic pride. Window Week is designed to direct the eyes of manufacturers and thousands of customers to your show windows and to prove that the majority of dealers are more interested in localized ad vertising through their home newspapers than in any other kind. The plan is simplicity itself. Select from your stock the articles that have been advertised in this and other local news papers by the manufacturer. Place these in your windows next week and with them put the sign this newspaper has furnished you- a sign which says We sell these standard products all advertised in the daily newspapers. If you want more signs let us hear from you at once. We urge co-operation because it means more business for you, more business for us and good advertising for our city. Put Newspaper Advertised Goods in Your Window on Monday Next securities. Mr. Hines spoke in part as follows: The railroad companies and the members of your association have a common interest that railroad securi ties shall be sound and shall give con tinued satisfaction to their purchasers. Hence, I wish to express my views as to some of the changes which are needed in our laws so as to promote the raising of necessary railroad capi tal throuKh the issue of securities which will prove sound and satisfactory. There is now an unusual oppor tunity to obtain important improve ments in the laws which underlie the soundness of railroad securities. So I am going to speak, not of mere ab stractions, hut of matters which have become reverely practical. The pub ic is giving these things unusual at tention and I believe congress will soon find it appropriate to take deci sive action upon them. Therefore I want to ask you to consider certain subjects about, which you can give definite assistance, not at some time in the remote future, but in the next few weeks. Public sentimei.t is unusually alive to these matters because the difficul ties of the railroad situation hav been accumulating to the point where the country has begun tc appreciate with clearness that the public interest will 1 be injured unless those difficulties are removed. The members of your as sociation are in an exceptionally good position to perceive the remedies that are necessary and to threw your in fluence and the influence of your cus tomers in favor of solutions which will promote both public interest and your own. Under the law as it seems to be con strued by the government, the coun try has no voice whatever in prevent ing or postponing a railroad strike no matter how widespread it may be jr how arbitrary the leaders of railroad labor may be. The result Is that until there shall be some general remedial legislation, the railroads are left in u position whioh is full of danger o prospective investors whose capita1 ought In the public interest to be used in the further development and im provement of the railroads. Since the government is unable to get the rail road unions to do anything they do not want to do, th whole pressure of the government is exerted to get the railroads to concede whatever the unions insist upon. When executive pressure fails, then congress seeks to grant by hurried legislation what the labor unions demard. ii such legis lation proves constitutional the rail roads must try to shift the burden to the public and to do this must get the a DDroval of the interstate commerc commission and to some extent of state railroad commissions. Cannot Pay Dividends. The continuance of such a condi tion is a menace to the soundness of present and future railroad securities. because if railroaa revenue is tnus pu. at the mercy of the railroad unions no one can have confidence in the ability of the railroad companies to continue to earn sufficient net income to pay interest, rentals and dividends and to provide the annual surplus necessary to protect railroad credit. Or course mere win oe ana must of consideration of this matter by con gress until some method can be found for the settlement of these controver sies in a legal and orderly way in ac cordance with the rights of all parties concerned. But I wish particularly to emphasize that no such law can be passed except over the opposition of the railroad brotherhoods; for they have declared in the most unqualified manner that they will oppose any law which seeks to provide for an official investigation of the merits of a dispute before a strike can take place, and will oppose any other law thru which the government would Interfere in any way with the unrestricted freedom of railroad labor to strike whenever it sees fit. When you consider the past GOLD FOR NATION record of governmental compliance with the wishes of union labor, you will realize that it is not going to be an easy thing to get the necessary re medial legislation when tnat will oe violently opposed by union iabo We German Empress Giyes Up All miiDt A--T-t&I- tha It-Vim lininnn TO 1186 I in the future all the political power they can command just as they have done in the past. l ao not neea 10 ume up iuui u" Pmnlotao in pointing out how the foundationsjX-inuiaies of sound railroad securities have been slowly undermined by the accumulat ing and conflicting regulations of forty-eight Mates- in addition to the regulations of the federal government. Railroad securities are not issued in fragments according to state boun daries but are issued as a whole. They depend for their soundness upon the railroad company's present and pros pective net income as a whole. Articles of Value. Action of Empress More Than Century Ago. Berlin. Oct. 4. Hiory is repeat ing its-elf.

The horizon of each state ia circumscribed by its own boundaries and it acts with reference to Its own local interests. altho nearly all of its railroad regu lations have a direct and injurious ef fect upon the general welfare of each! railroad company affected. Governed! by States. The general welfare of each rail road in this country is a matter of national concern, and yet it is affected in countless ways by state authorities i who do not and can not look at the I or art value to be donated and turned over to the collection of gold articles for the purpose of increasing the gold unply of the fatherland, wnich was instituted some time ago in Ell cities. The empress, it is said, also has placed on the altar of her country many valuable articles of gold and plate in the possession of herself and the kaiser. Fired by the patriotic sDirit of self- sacrifice of the empress, nviry mem bers of the court and the court secre tary are following her example, giv ing gold to the collecting societies, and matter from a national standpoint. I dispersab,e articles of pold and such articles as dishes and jewelry as can be replacea when happier days return to the country. The dangerous consequences of having a single matter which is primarily of national concern regulated and im paired by forty-eight different states, no one of which has a national hori zon or responsibility, are now gener ally appreciated.

Bonds to be sound and attractive must be protected by a wide margin of safety. If 76 per cent of a railroad company's normal annual net income must be used to pay bond interest, it is obvious that a loss of 25 per cent of net income in any year thru bus iness depression or exceptional dis aster will bring the company to the brink of insolvency. But if only 40 per cent of the railroad company s normal annual net income is required for bond interest, it would take duction of 60 per cent in that normal net income to bring its solvency question. This margin of safety, or the annual surplus of net income over and above fixed charges, is the funda mental element or security and attrac tiveness in railroad bonds. vve an know that railroad com panies must continue to spend hun dreds of millions of dollars for the further improvement and enlargement of their properties. This money must be raised either by the stle of bonds or by the sale of stock. To the extent that this money can be raised by the sale of stock, the margin of safety will be increased, because stock entails no obligation for fixed charges. But to th extent that these hundreds of mil lions must be raised by the sale of bonds, the margin of safety will be impaired, because every time a bond is sold there is an increase in the com pany a rixed charges. Stocks Sell Below Par. All you gentlemen know that in re cent years conditions have been such that hardly any of the railroad com panies in this country could raise new money by the sale of stock. This has been true because with very few ex ceptions railroad stocks have been sold below par and generally sneak ing no new stock can be sold except at or aoove par. Even in cases whero railroad stocks have been selling above par the excess over par has been so slight that the offering of large block of forty or fifty million dollars oi new stock would have de pressed the price below par. Under such conditions the railroad com panies almost without exception have been forced to raise all the money they needed thru the sale of bonds. In other words, the railroad industry has had to do nearly all its new business on borrowed money. This has meant the increasing of their fixed charges and consequently the diminishing of their margin of safety. Every time this margin of safety Is reduced thru the disproportionate in crease of new fixed charges, a blow struck at the attractiveness of that company's bonds, both those now out standing and those to be issued in the future. The establishment cf a national method of regulation which will h unified and consistent will be calcu lated to remove from the railroad situation the present fear that their net income will be regulated down t a basis so low that it will be out of the question for stockholders to look forward with confidence to a continu ance of dividends sufficient to make the stock an attractive investment. Here, too, you gentlemen are in Dosition of peculiar strength in de veloping public sentiment. While you and vour customers arc primarily teres, ed in the sale :f bonds, yea and thev are profoundly interested in there being an adequate basis to secure those bond.s. You know, and you can make it cletr to them, that thet basis cennct exist unlfss railrr.ad net in come is sufficient to enable railroad companies to do a larce part of thei new financing through the issue of stock and unless the laws are so sim plified ar.d unified as to adrr.it of the issue or stock unaer appropriate na tional supervision. on Wilson Predicts Further Drop. Pittsburg, Pa,, Oct. 4. Odds that Hughes will be elected have receded to 7 to 5 as against the 2 to 1 against Wilson offered before the Republican candidate visited Pittsburg .last week.

A short time later Joseph Shan non, who conducts a barber shop at 3lb Hast X ourtn street, complained) that his shop had been robbed.

Topeka is to have a roof garden. But it is not to be located aloft of any local hotel. There will be no such familiar roof garden as tinkling glasses, tangoing lasses or bold bad glancers at chorus girl dancers. Topeka's roof garden is to be lo cated on the top deck of the Y. W. C. A. It is to be the social and recre ational center for the members of the association. Altho details are not yet worked out by the architect the gar den will be so constructed that it may be partitioned off from winter snows and spring rains so that it may be used as a lounging parlor. There will be a big gymrtasium floor which will be made so as to serve as a ten nis court, volley ball court, basketball grounds as well as the understanding for most of the "gym" work. The roof garden is to be equipped with a stage for the presentation of amateur theatricals and exhibitions of the folk and aesthetic dancing taught in the association. Many of the receptions and meet ings held in the building will be held in the roof garden. The roof garden, a fond dream of a year ago, hag become a surety thru the activity and growth of the Athletic association of the Y. W. C. A., which was founded last February with a membership of only twenty. Now it has fifty members and an equal num ber will be added next Monday. The association has already several hun dred dollars toward the roof garden. It is estimated that the cost will be about $2,500, and it is hoped that the remainder of the fund can be realized this year so that some of the gymna sium work and exhibitions can be shown to the Topeka public in the open air.

BURNED HIS HORSE Man Was Injured, Too, but That Doesn't Matter. Animal Was His Only Means of a LiTelibood. RUSHED IN THE BURNING BARN Frantic Effort Was Nearly Fa tal to R. A. Thoinison. Fire at 710 Chestnut Street Shortly Before Noon. f Following an unsuccessful attempt to rescue a horse from a burning barn today, R. A. Thomison, a maker of wire novelties, is in St. Francis hos pital suffering from serious burns about the face, neck and hands. His, injuries however, physicians say, are not worrying him so much as the fact that the horse, which helped him make his living, perished. Returning to his home, 710 Chestnut street, shortly before noon today, Thomison fund the barn on the place, which he ren's, in flames. Despite the fact that the structure was totally enveloped in smoke and fire, Thomison rushed thru the door and attempted to untie the horse. Realizing he could not accomplish this he staggered out of the barn with the fire singeing his hair and burning his skin. Neighbors turned in the fire alarm but the flames had gained so much headway that it was impossible to save the building or rescue the horse. Dr. A. B. Jeffrey was summoned by the firemen thru the city health department. He took Thomison to the hospital where he was reported resting fairly comfortable under an opiate this afternoon, Doctor Jeffrey said. The value of the barn was about $50.

Faris Paper Blames United States for Mexican Muddler. Paris, Oct. 4. That France's policy of "Mexico for the Mexicans" is broken down, is proclaimed in the Temps, in which editorially vigorous protest .is made against First Chief Carranza's September decree forcing the banks of Mexico to fully back notes issued ,with their equivalent in gold reserve within sixty days. Says the Temps: "This means the seizure of 300,000, 000 francs, three-quarters of which is furnished by French shareholders. The condition imposed by Carranza being impossible of fulfillment, the measure is simply confiscation. Risks Big Loss. "France has three billion francs invested in Mexico and risks the loss of all of it because Carranza's meas ures, combined with his inability to pacify the country. "Mr. Wilson was mistaken in think ing First Chief Carranza capable of restoring order in the country. The confidence which France showed in Carranza originally also was mis placed. "The American and Mexican dele gates have been conferring at New London for over a month and have failed to smooth over the differences between the two countries, even to the extent of assuring the security of the border. Day of Reckoning. "Carranza thinks that France is too occupied with the European struggle to worry about her Mexican interests, but the war will not last always and he must know his country will lose definitely by alienating French sympa thies. "The United States also shares In the responsibility for the French losses because it induced us to support its unsuccessful Mexican policy."

Defeat and Double Boston Win Gave Brooklyn Pennant. New York. Oct. 4. Garry Herr mann of Cincinnati, president of the national baseball commission, declared early todav that so far as he Is con cerned nothing will be done by the commission regarding the charges of John McGraw. that the Giants quit In yesterday's game with Brooklyn. "I don't want to talk about It, he said. President John K. Tener of the Na tional league, declared today that ab solutely nothing will be done from his office regarding the charges of Man acer McGraw that the Giants quit m Tuesday's game with Brooklyn. Slay Investigate. The national baseball commission, all members of which are in JSew York today, probably will take up Mc Graw'a accusation. According to every member of the commission. McGraw s imputation, if true, casts a, stain on organized baseball which will have to ba wiped out by the most rigid meas ures. One member. Gov. John K. Tener president of the Nationil league, refused to take McGraw s re marks seriously. He believes an en tirely new light will be cast on it later 1,1 McGraw lost his temper early in the game between the Dodgers and Giants, it developed today. He left the field in the fourth inning when he became enraged by a wild throw made by Perritt. He returned, however, oillv to leave again in the fifth when a Brooklyn base runner stole second. McGraw declared Perritt displayed poor judgment and gross carelessness in taking a full windup with a base- firot 1 UII11C1 Wll Passed t'gly Word. McGraw's charge of quitting roused Art Fletcher and Perritt, who gave him the lie and McGraw rushed from the field in a fit of temper. After the game he declared his play ers had not given him their best ef forts and that he was thru for the season. He did not directly charge them with playing into Brooklyn's hands, but he said they showed a list lessness and Indifference in a crucial game which was shameful in a team which had just completed a run of twenty-six consecutive victories. Regardless of McGraw, the Giants must be given credit for putting up something of an objection to Brook lyn's running over them rough shod for a pennant. They ran the bases and fielded most of the time in top form. Pitching was the point where they fell hard and it was this point on which McGraw based his charge. MoGraWs Record. McGraw has been manager of the Giants since early in 1902, when he came to New York from the Baltimore club. He has piloted the team to one world's championship in 1905 and to five National league pennants in 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912 and 1913.

GRIDIRON MASTER WRITES FOR THE STATE JOURNAL The State Journal takes pleasure in announcing to its sport page readers that it has procured a new feature that should be of great in terest to every football fan. This new feature is a series of articles by the famous Charles E. Brickley, head coach of Boston university, coach of drop kickers and the backfield of Harvard and one of the greatest players Harvard ever produced. The first article of the series will be found elsewhere on this page today under the heading. "In side Gridiron Tips." A bright, in teresting, instructive article will be printed every day under this head ing If you are interested in foot ball you will find these Brickley articles mighty good reading. Don't miss them. year to run. He always has been known as a fighting manager. The Brooklyn club by going into a cinch position for the National league pennant won its first championship since 1900 and will go into its first world's series next Saturday against the Bed Sox. The Brooklyn season will close tomorrow and it is probable the Brooklyn regulars will be relieved of hard playing in the final two games. Pat Moran of the Phillies, short of pitchers, strove hard for the league bunting and failed only on the last stand. An injury to Shortstop Dave Bancroft last week is believed to have been responsible for the poor show ing of the champions against the Braves. Stock, a third baseman, has been playing Bancroft's position. Race spectacular. The race lust over, was one of the most spectacular ever seen in the Na tional league. Brooklyn, the pennant winner, held the lead for five months in a season that fairly sizzled. Pound- ng down the stretch from Alay to Oc tober, the leaders never were in a position to relax for a moment. In juries beset the Dodgers and Pfeffer. Robbie's star pitcher, suffered a re versal of form. The Dodgers started on a long road trip and were rudely bumped out of the top position, only to return home and again push away opposition. No less than three clubs were in the hunt right up to the final weeks. Not since 1908 when the Cubs and Giants went into a play-off series has such a close finish been witnessed. The American league champions have gone through just the same kind of a fire. They have had five clubs to bat tle at one time or another and cinched their right to the world's series when they invaded foreign fields and crush ed Detroit and Chicago, their strong est rivals.

LOSE WJ- CLUB? Savage May Take His Fran chise to Another City. Zehrung Re-Elected President at Lincoln Meeting;. Lincoln, Xeb., Oct. 4. The re-election of Frank C. Zehrung. of Lincoln, as president of the league and the adoption of a 140-game schedule for 1917, beginning April 19 and closing on Labor Day, constituted the prin cipal business at the meeting of the Western league club owners which closed shortly before midnight. Aside from the election of a presi dent and the shortening of next sea son's schedule, the principal business before the meeting was the transfer of Iho Topeka franchise to some other city and the oossible placing of the Wichita club next season. Altho nothing definite was an nounced resarding these matters. It was stated by a good authority tnat in all probability Frank Isbell, of Dcs Moines, will take over the wicmta franchise and take the club back to Wichita, and John Savage will proba bly move his Topeka franchise to some other town this winter, probably Kan sas City, Kan., or Pueblo. Isbell Wants Wolves. The league directors consented to give Isbell a 90-day optioa on the Wichita franchise, with the privilege of placing the club in any city he de sires, and it is thought that he will exercise this option if he can dispose of his Den Moines interests. John Savage made no statement re garding his plans to move his club from Topeka, but it is no secret that at the meeting, which was held be hind closed doors, this was discussed in detail and the poor support given the Savages this season was urged by other club owners as indicative of the lack of sufficient interest in the Kan sas capital to continue to support a Western league club. light on Zehrung. President Zehrung was re-elected after a rather spirited fight. Friends of Tip O'Neill, former president of the league, were anxious to return him to office, and, altho it was not an nounced, it is presumed that he was put in nomination against Zehrung. On the final vote Topeka, Lincoln. Omaha and Sioux City gave their bal lots to Zehrung and Des Moines and St. Joe voted against him. Hugh Jones, representing Denver, did not vote. Another meeting of the club owners will be held in Omaha not later than February 15. Noodles andNuggets niitf fVrvm rho Don A Pot r 7- rS. A?: Sixty-ryllnder Sam.

No true lover of baseball can regret that the Dodgers won out in the National league race. Another world series between Red Sox and Phillies, no matter how spectacular the playing might have been, could not have been as interesting: as the Dodger-Sox games will be. It has been repeatedly asserted that-the American league is faster than the Nation al, and now the matter will be put to a pretty thorough test. There is no doubt but that the Ited Sox were the class of the Johnson circuit, and the It obi n son crew certainly showed its class all season. And if the Dodgers should win out in the big classic they will be able to put a stop to a lot of superiority talk by the American league partisans. In fact, if the Dodgers win they will be entitled to more credit than the Red Sox If they cop. Those who have been in championship matches of auy sort know the strain the Brooklyn a have been un der for the last two weeks and they know how hard it is to battle day after day under such strain.

CHICAGO SERIES STARTS White Sox and Cubs Renew Old Championship Arguments Today. Chicago. 111., Oct. 4. Easbnll en thusiasts crowded into South Side park today to witness the initial con test for the Chicago city champion ship for 1916 between the local teams of the American and National leagues. All games in the series will start at 2:30 p. m. Manager Rowland, of the Ameri cans, reserves definite announcement of his battery until just before the game, but indicated that either Rus sell or Cicotte would be in the pitch er's box, with chances in favor of the former. On the other hand. Manager Joe Tinker, of the Nationals, said that Jim Vaughn would be his offer ing in the opening game, with either Williams or Kelly doing the receiving. Schalk was slated to catch for the Americans. NAPOLEON UJOIE MAY BE SALT LAKE CITY "MAGNUT" Napoleon Lajoie is considering an offer which will end his bis league career and make him a magnate and mcnager in the Class AA minors, if he accepts it.

Many "Dabs" Have Worn the Laurel In Years Past. BY FRANK G. ME.VKE. New York, Oct. 4. Who's gonna be the world series he-e-ero in 1916? Every year the folks speculate on it. And every year for the last ten or so they have missed their guesses by a mile. Thru ;ome strange whim of Dame Fortune the men who have grabbed the glory and the plaudits in the past haven't been the stars of the competing nines. Rather, they have been the dubs. And so, when yo i proceed about the business of doping out the bird who will wear the laurel wreath, it might be advisable to eliminate poorer play ers. Unless the order of things is re versed in 1916, it will be some so called "dub" who will rise up and grat unto himself all ihe spotlight rays. Back in 1906 the White Sox were forced to insert a substitute called "Whituy" Rohe, into the blue ribbon battles with the Cubs. It was the same Rohe who was the biggest sin gle factor in 'winning a world s cham pionship for the Sox. It was Rohe's hitting and his brilliant fielding that startled the baseball world and beat the Cubs. Adams Starred In 1909. In 1909 when the Pirates met the Tigers in the titular effair a youth ful flinger named Adams was left al most entirely out of the calculations by those who were comparing the strength of the buccaneers. Yet it was that same "Babe" who pitched and won three games and so cinched for the Pirates the larger end of the world series purse. J. Franklin Baker entered the 1911 battle in behalf of the Athletics, al most unniticed. He emerged the most talked-about ball player in the world. Baker, modest, quiet, but with tre mendous power in his shoulder blades, had caught shoots from the arms of both Mathewson tind Marquard and lifted them out of the lot. It was his long drives that enabled the Athletics to beat the Giants, and won for him the enduring titl-3 "Home Run King.'( The hero of 1913 was Joe Bush, the youthful pitcher for the Mackian crew. When Connie Mack had used up Eddie Plank and Chief Bender in the early battles, the Giants figured they would have it soft for a day or two. Bush, the unknown kid, was inserted into the frolic. The Giants grinned when he walked into the box They never grinned afterward. Bush toyed with them and his victory caused his praises to be sung thruout. the land. Gowdy. 1914; Lewis. 1915. "Hank" Gowdy was entirely ignored by those who studied the strength of the Braves and Athletics in 1914. Yet it was "Hank" who established a rec ord for terrific hitting that never may be beaten. He lammed the ball to al1 portions of the lot and the bulk of his drives were extra basers. During the regular season he hit far under .300, during the four-game world series he batted for .545. He was a demon with the mace. He caught and threw to bases in a way that was superb. "Hank" rose to the greatest heights of his career during those four bat tles, and the things he did will live long in memory and forever in base ball history. Just before the world series frolics of 1915 got under way, there were re ports that Duffy Lewis was to be benched. 'Twas said that he hadn'i been playing up to his real power and furthermore, he was fading. At the last moment. Bill Carrigan decided to let him into the big games and take a chance. And a fortunate decision it was. Lewis was the mightiest power in the attack of the Red Sox. and one of the real powers in defensive play. Time and again his scintillating field ing cut off Phillie rallies. And it was his bludgeon which helped to win at least two of the first four games, while the two Jiom ruiis swats exuded by this Lewis person routed the Phil lies in the fifth combat and gave the world's championship to the Red Sox Next!

Dr. Kennedy Is not allowing his Ichabod warriors to take their first conference game of the season with Cooper college Friday, too lightly. "I know Dr. Weede of old," Ken nedy sa(d today. "And I know him well enough to feel certain that his team will put up a real fight against us. You know Weede and I went to school together at Pennsylvania. He was a pretty heady, tricky football man back In the old days, and he has had a lot of experience since then. Really and truly, I expect his men to give us a real battle, and I am expect ing those Sterling boys to pull off some open play work that will demand serious- attention." The student body, however, and the players are more optimistic than their "coach. They expect sweet revenge, want to make a million points If pos sible, and many are hoping that Ed wards and Fleeson will be in the line up because they figure that the victory will be all the sweeter than without them. Writh Dehn in the regular lineup Tuesday night the regulars showed much better against the freshmen in scrimmage than they did Monday, and unless something happens in tonight's work out the whole team will be In good physical shape Friday, the last real scrimmage was looked for this afternoon, and tomorrow's practice will consist principally in per fecting defensive tactics. No an nouncement regarding the lineup has been made but it is pretty certain that Sargent will begin the game at quarter and that Trull and Calihan will be en trusted with the duties of the two. end positions. One new man, "Squire" Harwood Benton, is showing unexpected possi bilities in the line and lrom the heady game he has been playing in the scrimmage practice the sideline dope sters predict that he will play a guard position pretty regularily. It Is known that he has made a favorable impres sion on the coach, and his head work makes him look like a promising hole plugger. The season ticket sale which was begun this week is reported to be pro gressing nicely and those who lave it in charge announce that all records of recent years will be broken. A large crowd is expected at Friday's game. INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY. Hints to School Boys. Altho a great deal' is written nowa days about football for college men, I have seen very little written about football for high school or other schoolboys. My opinion is that more should be written, more enlightenment should be had on this subject for the schoolboys, for it is essential that they should get started right. I shall never forget the first day I reported for practice at the Everett (Mass.) high school. I had an old pair of football trousers that had been used for eight or ten years and an old torn jersey. This, together with a pair of ordinary street shoes and stockings, made up my equipment as a football player for the opening day. I imagine that such is the experi ence of a great majority of schoolboys who start in to play the game. Great care should be exercised by the high school authorities to see to it that all the boys who go out for the team are equipped as well as possible. Foot ball is a dangerous game, but a great part of the danger is taken away if the boys are properly equipped. (Copyright, Wheeler Syndicate.) FOOD FOR FANS (BY GEORGE E.

30 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1916 A Distinctive Reason What is the chief reason for the superi ority of Royal Baking Powder There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.

CONGDON'S NEW 300K Officer Board of Healtli Writes "Fight I for Food." Socialists, in a small audience at Representative hall, Tuesday night, attempted to corner Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, new Kansas suf fragist. Following a glowing eulogy of Hughes's stand on suffrage, Mrs. Blatch pleaded for women votes for Hughes on that ground. "Why can't the women vote the Socialist ticket and back an even bet ter suffrage plank?" asked a man seated near the door. Mrs. Blatch registered "pleased" that such a question came up. In fact, she declared she had neglected to mention this phase of the ques tion in the hope tnat some one might ask it. She could explain so much better by answering a direct question. Throwing a Vote Away. "In voting for either the Socialist or Prohibition ticket in this election," said Mrs. Blatch, "one is just throw ing a vote away. It is out of the range of all human possibilities to elect either a Socialist or Prohibition candidate this year." Mrs. Blatch felt that her chief mis sion in Kansas at this time is to an swer the telling Democrat cry, "Wil son kept us out of war" which is act ing as sticky fly paper for Wilson in capturing the female vote in Kansas. Mrs. Blatch devoted most of her time to a discussion of this proposition. "To me," said Mrs. Blatch, "it i3 nauseous to hear the perpetual chorus, he kept us out of war.' 'Tis folly for a nation of 100,000,000 souls to de pend upon the kindly offices of one man to keep them out of the cata clysm. "No president and no congress has involved us in a foreign clash since 1846 if we except our successful ef fort to free Cuba from an intolerable voke. Mr. WTilson, in keeping us out of war, is not exceptional among our presidents. "Orover Cleveland thru exceptional emphasis in a Venezula incident, kept us out of war with England. Theo dore Roosevelt thru extreme emphasis in another Venezula incident kept us out of war with Germany. Keeping us out of war is quite a common place achievement among American president s. "But for my part I shall never feel safe so long as heady presidents can rush troops to Vera Cruz and only after the event ask the sanction of congress. I shall only feel safe when a full and free democracy makes the supreme decision shall it be peace or shall it be war HORSE SHOW BEAU IS MULE SKINNER FOR BORDER ARMY EI Paso, Tex., Oct. 4.
