HOME EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1917 TEN PAGES THREE CENTS GERMAN ARMY IS MOBILIZING IN MEXICO NOW! Thousands of Reservists and Trained Soldiers There- Equipped and Ready to Invade When War Comes. PLENTY OF HELP FROM MEXICO Opportunity for Loot and Death Against Hated U. S. And Ammunition Is Manufac tured in This Country. Columbus. N. M.. March 28. Ameri cans who have been patting themselves on the back saying the Germans could not attack the United States by land, may be in for a rude awakening very shortly. Secret service men and the trustworthy Indian scouts report that there are now assembling in Mexico thousands of German reservists, all trained soldiers, well armed who are ph.' lining a great foray against the Southern T'nited States border as soon as war is formally declared. There have been many German officers in Mexico for the last two years and re servists are now and have been for several months pouring across the bor der from every direction. It is certain the Germans will get plenty of help from the Mexicans of all breeds and political shades. The op portunities that will be offered for loot and rapine against the hated "gringoes" iVU align with the Germans practically all the Mexicans. No Friends for V. S. The United States has no friends south of the Rio Grande. German influence always has been strong in Mexico and in several in stances has shown itself bitterly hos tile to the United States. Those ac tive in the propaganda against the United States have not contined them selves to operations in Mexico, but on more than one occasion while enjoy ing the hospitality of the northern republic have been discovered in al liance with interests in Mexico plot ting to sacrifice American lives and destroy American property. American Ammunition. One conspicuous case was when a prominent member of a hardware concern in El Paso. which Joaa branches in northern Mexico, was in dicted for smuggling arms and am munition in defiance of the embargo across the border to be used in shoot ing down American troops. In one of the most recent instances of the wrecking of a train and shooting of the helpless passengers, the bandits were found to be plentifully supplied with ammunition manufactured in the United States. CHEER WOOD NOW Preparedness Speech Arouses Kiir Mew York Audience, Gerard Says Wilson Will Make Great lVar President. New York. March 28. "Those of us in the army, a good many of us, have been censured for preaching pre paredness. Why do we preach it? For the pleasure of talking or for the pleasure of something else? We preach preparedness because we want to visualize the unnecessary dead that are groins to be yours if we do not prepare." (leneral Leonard Wood thus aroused 2.0(H) members and -guests of the Merchants association, at their lunch eon at the Hotel Astor to great en thusiasm by this call for military pre paredness. Former Ambassador .lames W. CJer ard aroused equal ent husiasm when he praised J 'resident Wilson in these words: assure you t hat our president. Wood row Wilson. h;is made every ef fort consistent with keeping an hon orable peace to keep us out of this war. He is the greatest peace pres ident that we ever had. But I am going to tell you something; else. That is. before long you will find out that he will be the greatest war president that the t'nited States of America ever had." ini versa! military training, loyalty to the government and preparedness were the subjects of discussion.

Smith, who has been lecturing to the mem bers of the association on the use of novocaine as a "nerve block" for the last two days, will supervise the work. After Dr. Smith has administered the local anaesthetic, Dr. L. D. Mitchell of Arkansas City, and Dr. Monte Gats, of Cawker. will make extractions. Only the worst cases of the applicants have been accepted and the effectiveness of a local anaesthetic will be shown. In this morning's session Dr. Smith followed up his earlier lectures with a practical demonstration of the tech nique in administering the injections. He worked on skeletons and met models, explaining every motion he made and showed the systematic scheme for the operation. New Methods Necessary. The series of lectures by Dr. Smith gave an explanation of the present day needs of dentistry and how the newer methods had become necessary. Novocaine, as a local anaesthetic, has proved more than successful and is used extensively in the east and now the west is beginning to realize its value. People will no longer stand for careless work and tortuous instru ments. The modern dentist inflicts no pain upon the patient, according to his speech this morning. This evening Dr. W. K.

NEW FOOD SCARE Germany Dictator Finds Supply Overestimated. Lack of Farm Labor 3Iakes In crease Impossible. Amsterdam, March 28. German Food Dictator Batocki admitted to the reichstag main committee that there had been an over-estimate in the amount of Germany's food sup plies, according to Berlin advices re ceived today. Batocki was quoted, in commenting on the seriousness of the German food situation, as saying that increased pro duction "was impossible owing to lack of labor and enormous difficulties of transport." London. March 28. Adolph von Batocki, president of the German food regulation board, in a statement to the reischstag committee, admitted that the compensations for the re duction of the bread ration were not sufficient, but declared no 'ther solu tion was possible, according to a Cen tral Xews dispatch from Amsterdam. The supplies of pigs were not suf ficient to permit the slaughter of the number which strict necessity re quired, the food dictator is quoted as declaring, and therefore the reserves of cattle would have to be drawn upon considerably. Increased production was impossible owing to the lack of labor, leaving out of consideration the enormous difficulties of transporta tion. In any case, the speaker added, it was impossible to live without po tatoes and bread and the agricultur ists must be made fully aware of their obligations. Copenhagen, March 28. The result of the recent stock taking of the grain, potatoes and other foodstuffs on hand in Germany was so unfavorable as to cause general apprehension, according to the Berlin Vorwaerts.

In North Sectors Germans Hold Back Englishmen. Violent Artillery Battle for St, Quentin Position. Paris, March 28. The advance of the French in the region north of Soipsons was continued during the night. Progress was made north of the Ailette river and east of the Leuil-ly-Neuville-Sur-Margival line, where important positions were captured. These gains are recorded in today's official report, which also 'indicates unusual activity further east. The ar tillery of both the French and the Germans kept up a violent fire yes terday and during the night on the front between Butte du Mesnil and Maisons de Champagne. Heavy artil lery fighting is in progress in the re gion of the lower forest of Coucy. Clear Coucy Forest. The southern wing of the retreating German army is slowly recoiling along a ten mile front under the furious on slaughts of the French. The first section of the great Coucy-St. Gobajn forests has been completed cleared of the invaders and General Nivelle's troops are now face to face with the last formidable natural barrier that lies between them and Laon the plat eau of St. Gobain. This densely wood ed plateau lies between the Oise and the Ailette and is about ten thousand acres in extent, rising from 80 to 200 feet in height. No railways or high roads traverse it but an important railroad sweeps around its southern border and runs north to Chauny. This road is in the ha nds of the French up to within about three miles of Anizy, which is ten miles west of Laon. To the north, the French are about two miles from the town of St. Gobain location of the most famous glass fac tory in Kurope. St. Gobain is 13 miles northwest of Laom Germans in Desperate Counter. No change has taken place in the neighborhood of St. Quentin, where the Germans are still making desper ate efforts to wrest from the French the Essigny-Benay plateau undisput ed possession of which will, according to military critics, render inevitable the fall of St. Quentin. Farther to the north, the British have made some slight progress but no important change has taken place. Bad weather is reported to be interfering seriously with operations on this portion of the front. Sporadic fighting has occurred in several of the other war theatres but nothing to indicate the com mencement of major operations. Another Wedge Drive at Iaon. London, March 28. General Nivelle was driving his wedge with sledge hammer blows against the Germans today north of La Fere and at the same time by hot pursuit, forging an other such wedge thrusting at Laon. The most bitter fighting of the ad vance and the retreat so far is cen tered around the point of this sec ond wedge near St. Gobain forest. Military experts here today ex pressed their admiration for the mar velous speed with which Nivelle has moved in following up every advan tage of the German retreat and in forcing the enemy, in advance of its carefully laid plans to give way be fore the tremendous pressure of the French forces. In the meantime on the British front the fighting was still of the open variety as opposed to the masses of men now coming to grips on the French sectors. Prepare Alsace Withdrawal. Th'e British are steadily forging ahead, cavalry and armored cars in cessantly harassing the retreating Germans. Weajther conditions con tinue the mairi obstacle to swifter progress. Holland dispatches today detailed reports of two German moves of ex ceeding Interest to military critics. One was that the Germans were preparing for a shortening of their lines by withdrawals in Alsace, particularly Muel House. The second was that Berlin had made tentative offers of a separate peace to Russia. The terms to include autonomy for Poland, in ternationalization ot Constantinople. Russian domination of Armenia and in return, Russian evacuation of Aus trian territory now held. KILLED ON WARTrONT American Meets Death in Ambulance Field Service. New -York. March 28. Word has been received here that Henry F. Montgomery Suckley of Rhinebeck, New York, in charge of the New York stock exchange unit of the American ambulance field service was killed last Monday while on duty near Saloniki. He was 30 years old, graduated from Harvard in 1910 and had served in the American ambulance almost from the start of the war.

CALL OUT FOUR 5 MORE REGIMENTS OF STATE GUARDS With 65,000 Previously Out, Makes 68,000. Final Preparedness Steps Await President's Message. SIDETRACK OTHER MATTERS

Drys and Suffs Won't Press Cause Before Extra Congress. War Dept Swamped by Addi tional Clerical Work. Washington, March 28. Four addi tional regiments of the National guard were called into the federal service today by the war department. They are the First "West Virginia, Seventy fourth New York, Second Connecticut and Second New Jersey infantry regi-r merits. These detachments comprise about 2,400 men. Washington, March 2 8. Congres sional leaders today informally con sidered the legislative program to meet the national emergency, but it was emphasized that definite steps to that end would not be taken until after President Wilson delivers his address to congress soon after it con venes in extraordinary session next Monday. Steps to put the naion in a state of readiness for any eventuality went ahead actively, more than 15,000 na tional guards were under orders to day to remain in the federal service for police duty at industrial plants and other property in their respectiva states. Altogether, about 53,000 guardsmen have now been called ut for this purpose, making a total of 68,000 now available. President Wil son conferred today with Col. B. M. House, his personal adviser, but it was said he does not plan to put his mes sage to congress in final shape until the Jast minute, nor has it been de cided, even after yesterday's cabinet meeting, just what recommendations he will include in it. Congressional leaders expect to deal only with measures relating to tha international crisis during the special session. Spokesmen for temperance and prohibition organizations have de clared they will not press any sfrrti- Mquor' legislation and altho the fed-J, eral woman suffrage amendment .ill be introduced, there appears to be little hope for it. Renounce Nonpartisan Plan. Among Democrats, Republicans and Independents of the house today there 1 was a belief that tae house would be j organized along partisan lines, despite Republican Leader Mann's proposal for a nonpartisan organization, j One of the problems confronting the war department if a war army is call jed out, will be the expansion of its civil establishment to meet the enor- mous increase in clerical work. Al- ready the department's bureaus are 1 strained to the limit and its quarters 1 in the big state, war and navy build j ing are congested. It is expected that, j for immediate purposes, three shifts i of clerks will be put on and the bu- reaus kept open night and day. An other suggestion is that the new in j terior department building close to tho i war department and now nearing com 1 pletion, be taken over temporarily at I least. None of these steps can be taken, however, until congress has j acted and the size of the army to be t raised has been fixed. u. s. will' advertise j Put Campaign Under National Advls 1 ory Board. I Washington, March 28. Prelimin ary arrangements for co-ordination of all government advertising of national scope thru a national advertising ad visory board were made today at the 1 war and navy departments. Details I will be worked out thru Director Clif ford of the National Defense council. The purpose of the board, the ser vices of which have been offered to the government without cost is to de termine the advertising medium to be i employed in the campaign to secure j soldiers, sailors or workmen of any kind in the present emergency. As a measure of preparedness in the event that a -big volunteer army is raised, copies of all the posters and literature used for this purpose in Kngland are now enroute from London. The committee which called on Sec 1 retary Daniels and Secretary Baker i today, is headed by Herbert S. Hous ton, president of the Associated Ad -1 vertising association. 3 GOVS. SONS ENLIST Offspring of Washington State Execu tive Respond to Call to Colors. Spokane, March 28. All three sons of former Gov. M. E. Hay of Wash ington have enlisted in the national guard or have signified their intention of doing so at once, it was learned today. For Maintenance of Guards. Chicago, March 28. Preparations for the maintenance of the national guard units ot" twelve western and middle western states ordered into the federal service earlier in the week were being completed rapidly today at the headquarters here of the cen tral department of the United States army. Ordnance and quartermaster reports were being checked over and arrangement being made for needed sQpplies and equipment. Blast in Factory Starts Stampede. Alton. 111., March 28. Two persons were injured and about twenty men and girls thrown into a panic by an explosion in the primer room of the i estern Cartridge company here to day. Explosion was caused by the I dropping of a powder bucket, accord ing to the company statement this aft-lernoon. WAR NEXT WEEK SEN. THOMPSON DECLARES HERE U. S. Senator From Kansas Says Declaration Is Coming. "o Question as to Course Con gress Will Take. IN A STATE OF WAR NOW Indignities of Last Week Will Bring Formal Action. Public Sentiment Is Behind Wil son in 3iext Move. The United States will next week make an open declaration of war on Germany. That is the prediction of William II. Thompson, Democrat United States senator from Kansas. Had congress been in session when r cent news was received of the sinking of three American ships by German submarines, a declaration of war would have followed in five minutes, according to the Kansas senator. There is no question as to the course congress will pursue when it con venes in special session next week, according to the opinion expressed by Senatdr Thompson. He declared that the United Elates is at this time in a state of war. But an open declar ation is certain to follow the indig nities of the last few weeks, he said. Senator Thompson returned to his home in Garden City last week fol lowing adjournment of the regular session of congress. He had planned to return to Washington next week for the opening of the special session originally called for April 16. When Tresident Wilson advanced the date to next Monday, April 2. Senator Thompson arranged to leave Kansas this week. Important Session. "The special session of congress will be gravely important,' said Senator Thompson, "and I don't think there is a doubt that an cpen declaration of war is to follow. The United States has been attacked by Germany during the last few week just as much as tho German .dreadnaught had dropped shells in New York harbor. You don't dotibt the course congress would have taken in that event? In that case an open declaration of war would have followed immediately. "I don't anticipate the least trou ble in the adoption of President Wil son's program when congress con venes. Had congress been in session when three American ships were sunk by German submarines, a declaration of war would, in my opinion, have been declared in five minutes. Public Sentiment for It. "Public sentiment thruout the na tion is for protection of American lives and American honor. Anyone who opposes such a course on the floor of the house or senate will near from home in a manner that will never be forgotten. I don't pretend to know what program President Wil son will advance. But I do know that congress will be ready to act on his suggestions regarding internation al affairs. One of the things which will receive first attention will be to block the ruthless course of the Ger mans on the high seas." Senator Thompson had planned to attend the special meeting of the Democrat state committee in Topeka Saturday when a successor to the late Col. W. F. Sapp. national com mitteeman, will be chosen. He had also expected to appear before the state supreme court next week in several cases. Advancement of the date of the special session, however, will compel 'the senator to return to Washington tonight or Thursday. LAW CONSTITUTIONAL Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion In City Manager Case. The supreme court handed down an opinion this morning declaring the city manager law, passed by the last legislature, constitutional. The opin ion was given in a case that came up from Wichita in which a mandamus suit had been filed to compel the election commissioners to print bal lots with the names of the candidates upon them. The Wichita officials had refused to take the necessary steps upon the grounds that the new city manager law was unconstitutional in that it discriminated against certain cities. MUTE HUSBAND HURLS CURSES AND THREATS SAYS WIFE'S PETITION Chicago, March 28. Mrs. Charlotta Taylor Stein has entered suit for di vorce from Jacob Stein alleging neg lect and cruelty and charging that her husband swore t her and threatened to kill her. Both are deaf mutes. The woman's r.ttorney exp'ained that the threats against his c ient's life and the swearing were both conveyed by means of finger signalling. CHICAGO FIRMS WILL PAY WAGES TO MEN ENLISTING Chicago, March 28. Several big Chicago firms are on record today as promising that, in the event of war. they will pay employes who enlist the difference between their army wages and their regular sal aries. It was also announced that places would be held open for all who joined the colors. A. BONAR LAW TELLS HOW HE RAISED5BILLI0N Xot a Financial Problem, but Matter of Patriotism. German Frightfulness Loosened British Purse Strings. 8,000,000 BUYERS OF BONDS "Will You Give Your Sons and Sot Your Money!" Appeal Stirred Rich and Poor to Aid Victory Fund. (Copvright 1917 by the United Press.) (Copyrighted at the Department of Agriculture. Ottawa. Can.) BY LOWELL MELLKTT. London, March 28. A. Bonar Law. chancellor of the exchequer has given j the United Press the recipe for rais- ing five billion dollars under certain j given circumstances. Only one in-, gredient is necessary he said in effect. and that is patriotism, but it is well to have it stirred by German fright- fulness. "The synchronization of German i frightfulness," he said, "made the suc cess of the Victory war loan certain." Just as Zeppelin attacks on London started the first great rush to the col ors, the German promise of undersea frightfulness accentuated the greatest rush to the pocketbook any country ever saw. So in giving the people of Great Britain- most of the credit for their great financial effort the chan cellor insists that some credit be al lotted to the promulgators of the frightfulness campaign. Disagreed With Big Bankers. Asked why he had confidently un dertaken to raise the desired money with a promise of a little more than 5 per cent interest, when London's greatest financiers had declared it would be necessary to pay 6 per cent, he said: "The bankers as was natural, looked at it as a financial problem. I didn't. I looked at it as a fighting problem, a war problem. I considered what the people would do as a matter of pa triotism, not as a matter of finance. Once they were made to see the fight ing possibilities of the money we asked, I was sure they would not look twice at the question of interest. Events proved that to be the case." He could have added that the dif ference in interest saved the empire more than $50,000,000 a year. "There were good reasons for not allowing the interest rate to exceed 5 per cent," he continued. "Thru the necessity of keeping up our exchanges, the value of all money on the London market has long been higher than it otherwise would have been. Ex chequer bonds bearing 6 per cent and treasury bills at 5 were issued up to the very day before the issue of the loan. It was because of this high level of money that many financial men most competent to judge, warned me that the loan could not succeed at less than 6 per cent. Made Public Addresses. "It seemed to me as if the chancel lor of the exchequer that stereotype British credit at a high figure like 6 per cent woufd be a serious misfor tune. It would be better even to risk a comparative failure of the loan. As a matter of fact, however, I really did not anticipate a failure, in any degioc. I was banking on the people of tho country. And in my belief the success fCootinned on Pajre Two.l- WAR IN TEN DAYS Taft Tells Texans We're Fight ing for World Peace. Lone Star State Organizes League to Enforce Peace. Dallas, Texas, March 28. "The United States is already in the war," i declared former President William II. Taft, in an address here last night. 1 "Within ten days the actual declara tion will be made, either by Germany or ourselves. It cannot be avoided. The thing for the American people to know now, is what they will be fighting for in this war," he con- tinued. "It is this: We will be fighting to bring about a lasting, a universal, world peace." A Texas branch of the League to Enforce Peace, of which Taft is ores- i ident, was formed last night after I th f nrm r- ch iff oTanntivA'a tollr More than 8,000 were turned away, the city hall auditorium, in which he spoke, being only large enough to seat 2,500 mostly delegates from all parts of the state to take part in the formation of the league. Dallas, Texas, March 28. Abraham Lincoln is held in no more affection in the north than he is in the south and if he were alive today he would i be surprised at the honor and esteem accorded him by southerners, Mr. Taft I declared here today. He was speaking at a breakfast given in his honor and the outburst of applause that greeted the declara tion was. the most spontaneous and longest that has been accorded any statement he has made since his ar rival in Dallas. "War Next Week" Weeks. Boston. March 28. Senator John W. Weeks declared the United States "will get into the war next week," at a dinner here. "We are now on the brink of one of the three or four most important events in the life of the republic." he said.

It is for every one of us to find out the thing he can do and then let us show that we are fit to be American citizens. NAME ROAD BOARD Governor Capper Appoints Highway Commissioners. R. Moses of Great Bend and R. S. Tiernan of Ft. Scott. APPOINT AN ENGINEER SOON He Must Approve Flans of Every Bridge Over $1,000. Appointees Are lVell Known Thruout the State. Governor Capper today announced the appointments of E. R. Moses of Great Bend and R. S. Tiernan of Kort Scott as members of the new state highway commission.

Both Moses and Tiernan are widely known business men and road boost ers. Their appointments were an nounced by the governor after con sideration of names of a dozen prom inent, men in various sections of the state. Moses and Tiernan have been notified to come to Topeka next Tues day. The commission will be formally organized at that time and will im mediately begin work under the new state highway law. It is probable that the commission ers will next week consider the ap pointment of a state highway engineer. Under the law the commissioners may seieci an engineer who is a resident of Kansas or some other state. No limit, except the appropriation, is pro vided for the salary of the state en gineer and the salary question will be worked out by the commission and the new engineer. No extra salary will be paid the governor for his work. The two commissioners appointed to day will receive not more than $200 a year each and expenses. Much Work Ahead. Much heavy work awaits the organi zation of the commission. Under the law the commissioners must approve plans for every bridge and culvert which costs more than $1,000. Com missioners in a number of counti'y have already asked approval of bridge and highway building plans. These questions will probably be taken up immediately following the selection of a state engineer. An appropriation of ,000 is at the disposal of the com mission for the remainder of the fiscal year, ending June 30. Moses and Tiernan, who won the appointments, were strongly endorsed, Moses Is one of the wealthiest, the most prominent bankers, millers and business men in western Kansas.

New York, March 28. The inter league series between the clubs of the International league and the Ameri can association next fall is bound to attract :he attention of tans all over the country. These two bigr minor leagues have long been rivals. Both have laid claim to the supremacy in minor league circles for years, and in addi tion to this long-standing rivalry the inter-sectional nature of the series will naturally boost interest. The inter-league schedule shows the series opening in American asso ciation territory on August 6 with the teams playing as follows: Toronto at Columbus. Montreal at Toledo. Rochester at Indianapolis. Buffalo at Louisville. Newark at Milwaukee. Providence at Kansas City. Raltimore at Minneapolis. Richmond at St. Paul. I'lay 3-tiame Scries. The International leaguers will re main in association territory until each team has played a three-game series in each city, after which the A. A. teams will travel east to play a like series along the Atlantic sea board. The opening engagements in the east, starting on August 31, will be as follows: Columbus at Toronto. Toledo at Montreal. Indianapolis at Rochester. Louisvillf; at Buffalo. Milwaukee at Providence. Kansas- City at Newark. Minneapolis at Baltimore. St. Paul at Richmond. With a purse of $10,000 to fight for. the players in the two leagues will have quite a plum dangled before their eyes. Each league will put up $5,000, or half the purse, and the league which wins, the series will capture the entire purse, which is to be divided among the eight clubs of the winning league. The fact that players' salaries will be going on as in the regular season makes the purse money pure velvet for the winning leaguers, and with the big series to look forward to every club in both leagues will be on its toes thruout the regular sched ules of 112 games. Make Races Hotter. The added interest which will spring up among the players is con fidently expected to make the pennant races in the two leagues much hotter than they have been in years past. The club owners feel assured that the series will be a big success. Never before in the history of baseball have two leagues been scheduled to fight it out for the supremacy with their full strength represented. The annual battle for the world's cham pionship between the pennant win ners of the National and American leagues is a great classic, but it does not always indicate the supremacy of either league as a whole. For in stance, a series between all clubs in the two major leagues might bring about surprising results. The Ameri can league, generally acknowledged much stronger than the National, might very easily lose its standing in such a series. fit-air. Much Prestige. The winning league in the coming series between the two minors will naturally gain great prestige, regard less of the fact that the Pacific Coast league is also rated as a class A or ganization. And the opportunity to see new teams and new faces in a se ries which will be played for big stakes is going to prove a magnet for the fans. With the "scenery" chang ing every four days, the fan who gen erally loses interest in a pennant race about the middle of August will be lured to the park. And he will get his money's worth. Food for Fans BY r,EO. E. FIIAIR. (Copyright.) "John Olin," quoth the press agent, "will be put to the test Friday night when he meets Leo Pardello." Pos sibly the p. a. considers that John is in danger of laughing himself to death. The legal tangle involving Fred Ful ton and Alike Collins having been straightened out, the world may now heave a sigh of relief and resume its place on the Morris chair.

FIGHT THE WARFIRST Russians Would Shelve Factional Strife Until National Danger Is Past. Petrosrrad, March 28. A group of social-democrats has just put out a declaration, which as far as can be determined, fairly represents the at titude of the" majority of that party toward the government. The declara tion is signed by a half dozen locally prominent names and favors a vigor ous prosecution of the war, leaving the demands of the social-democracy in abeyance until the country is safe from the danger of a return of the monarchy. It says: "The necessary democratic control of the government best can be achiev ed by participation in the temporary administration of representatives of the workmen's democracy, a wide and stable organization for popular forces and the army. We appeal to the workmen, soldiers and deputies to as sist the temporary government in the realization of a program of freedom." On the war the declaration said: "The victory of the central empires would bring ruin and reinstate the old regime." Army Morale Excellent. London, March 28. Several duma deputies who have been to the front have returned to Petrograd, says a Reuter dispatch, convinced from their conversations with officers and soldiers that the spirit of the army us excellent. They report that all those with whom they spoke were fully aware of the absolute necessity of continuing the war. General Russky, in a conversation with President Rodzianko, declared that perfect order prevailed on the northern front and that the army was in excellent spirits. MO. DOCTORS MOBILIZE Medical Resources of State Preparing for War Emergency. Kansas City, Mo., March 28. The physicians of Missouri are being mobilized so that the medical re sources of the state will be prepared for the nation's call in case of need. Announcement has just been made that Dr. W. J.

H. Wallace of St. Joseph, and Dr. J. Franklin Welch of Salisbury.

FARMER STUDENT TRIED TO BE STRICTLY "FORMAL" Manhattan, Kan., March 28. Much to his chagrin, a student in agriculture at the Kansas State Agricultural college here discov ered the other day. that "formal may apply to other things than dress. In response to a notice to make "formal" application for his degree, to be received at the spring graduation, this sedate senior, rented a full dress suit and. thus duly accoutered presented himself at the office of the registrar. Not until a titter of giggles from co-ed clerks greeted his ears was he aware of his mortifying mistake. KANSANSRESPOND i Opportunity In Navy Brings Out Better Grade of Men. 80 Per Cent Being Accepted Women Volunteers at K. C. STIR UP MARTIAL SPIRIT 300 Volunteers to Join Navy in a Day in Chicago. Cadets and Bands Farade; Lake Reserves Help. Kansas City, March 23. Recruits for the navy are being received at the naval enlisting office here in num bers never before exceeded, according to attaches of the office here today. A larger per cent are being accepted than normally, it was declared, as the number turned down for physical dis ability has dropped considerably. "Usually only about 25 or 30 per cent of the men offering themselves can pass 'the examinations," an at tache of the office said. "Now, how ever, nearly 80 per cent of them are being accepted." The explanation given was that the call for possible active duty was at tracting a "high type of man," many of whom are from the country dis tricts of Missouri and Kansas. Lieut. H. V. McCabe, in charge of the office here, has set out to obtain between 900 and liOOO men from Northwestern Missouri and Kansas. He and his assistants are conducting an intense campaign for new men. Eight women yesterday volunteered to aid Lieut. McCabe in the work and all immediately took up special du ties in connection with the recruiting. In addition to them, a number of wo men have applied for enlistment un der the orders promulgated last week by Secretary Daniels thai they might be accepted for shore and station work. The office here, however, is still awaiting authority from Wash ington to enroll them. Loyalty Celebration for Denver. Denver, Colo., March 28. The west has awakened. Fired by patriotism local men are -planning the biggest demonstration in the history of the section, to "crys tallize ideals into practical patriotism and assure the, president of support in the present crisis." Headed by Governor Gunter, Mayor Speer, Chief Justice S. H- White, and a host of prominent citizens, a general call has been sent out for a patriotic mass meeting to be staged at the auditorium Saturday night. The call invited "all Americans" to attend the meeting, "to urge congress to take immediate action to mobilize and use all forces and instrumentalities in resistance of those acts which have created a reign of terror in the world." Recruit Flyers and For Submarine. Chicago, March 28. Army and navy recruiting gained considerable impe tus today, and from indications yes terday's record, which was the high est of the year, will be excelled. Yes terday 300 volunteers applied for en listment. Sixty were accepted. This number, however, does not include men who were accepted for the avia tion or submarine service, or for the officers' reserve corps. The majority of the men applying for enlistment in the regular army were service men, having been in the Spanish-American war, or stationed along the border or at Vera Cruz. Recruiting officers and patriotic or ganizations were today resorting to various means of stirring up a mar tial spirit. Motor cars, carrying re cruiting officers and soldiers did ad vertising work thru the loop. High school cadets, led by bands, paraded, and naval reserves from the Great Lakes station wore stationed at the various recruiting headquarters or dis tributing literature. G. A. II. Boys Mobilize. Decatur, 111., March 28. W. F. Cal houn, department commander of the Illinois G. A. R., today issued a spe cial order to all members in the state to mobilize in Chicago, Saturday, to attend the big patriotic celebration to be held there. Guards Wait Hours for Grub. Chicago, March 28. With their service uniforms spick and span, their bayonets glittering and their knap sacks packed, six companies of the First Illinois infantry were delayed several hours today. The troops had received orders to go "somewhere," but their grub kits were empty and there was no assur ance that food would be available when they arrived at "anywhere." Red tape requirements, similar to those which caused several militia companies to traverse half way across the continent on hard tack and water during the border mobilization last summer, was responsible for today's delay. Except for food supplies the troops are ready to leave at any time. FUNSTON INSURED $20,000 Policy and $10,000 Personal Property Comprise Estate. Q ri Pro Tiaef CI U. wnl. O O The late Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston left no will and his estate, consisting of a life insurance policy for $20,000, and personal effects valued at "not to exceed 10,000," will go to his wid ow and three children. This was re vealed today when Mrs. Funston filed a petition for letters of administration.

It would be a handsome thing to do. It would be the means of repaying a Ions standing obligation. France helped us when help was scarce and friends were few. She never asked or received anything for what she did for the struggling colonies. We could hardly strike a more effective blow against Germany than to send France this money. If she decline to accept it as a gift, let her have it on long time and without interest. Her unwavering and uncomplaining struggle against the invaders must forever hold the ad miration of the world. Verdun was a Thermopylae on a most gigantic scale. Never perhaps, in the history of the "Srorld was another Tiation so well pre pared for" war as was Germany. The Knter.te Allies now are busily engaged "in preparing tier for peace. This will be forced upon her, as she says war Navigation for American ships, be ween this country and Europe' has been reopened. The St. Louis, the first armed vessel to leave New York since the embargo was declared by Germany has reached- her destina tion safely. Costa Rica, is offering government aid for the encouragement of hemp culture. There Is no place where a good supply of hemp is needed more than in the Central American coun tries. Ten countries are now at war with tiermany-France, Russia, Great Brit ain, Italy, Japan, Belgium Serbia, Rumania, Montenegro and Portugal. An eleventh may be added at any moment. The fact is a tribute to the war power of Germany, says Collier's, but it is a tribute full of dangerous possibilities to an empire that has placed its genius at the disposal of such rulers as the men who ordered the U-boat ruthlessness. No one can now say how the war will end. But it is a reasonable guejs that the Ger man "will to conquer" will be beaten by the world's will to live Approved grazing allowances for the national forests during the coming season provide for the pasturing of 8, 410,155 sheep. 2, 1 L'l). 5 cattle and horses, and 54,680 swine.

Till leads the old toper In remark lhat misfortunes always cime In bunches, f TEXT BOOK REFORM. It is gratifying to the State Journal to note that :ts efforts to bring about a reform In the spelling and arith metic texts,, in use in Kansas schools, have received the endorsement of H. B. Wilson, superintendent of the To peka public schools. Mr. Wilson was addressing the assembly at the Pitts burg State Normal. The series of spelling texts con tain 12,600 to 15,000 words,, half of which an adult audience of average intelligence and education could not pronounce. Superintendent Wilson said, and which the pupils will never use after they leave school. Yet the teachers work as hard making the children learn fhem as tho they were killing snakes. Two thousand letters from concerns representing twelve lines of business employed a vocabulary of onjy 2,000 words, Mr. Wilson said. Similarly useless work in arithmetic is inflicted upon th- pupils. Mr. Wil son asserted. The group of New York j business men given a test in the sev enth grade arithmetic work in the city -schools ignominiously failed. 25 per cent being the high grade made by any of them. Twelve Chicago business men in a school test in .geog raphy flunked, one making a grade of twenty, all others zero flat. These were successful business men, Mr. Wil son said, and the unescapable con elusion from the tests was that the schools are not giving the pupils the things they will need after leaving school. v He emphasized the need for -ideas rather than meaningless words and forms, the use of. material facta and skill that will be of practical use and also fill some present need of the pu pils. It is hoped that Superintendent Wilson will see his way to include the grammars now in use, in his crusade. They are a mass of useless rules and definitions, meaningless to pupils and of no possible use in learning our language. The total value of exports invoiced at the American consulate general at London to the United States daring the first two months of 1917 amounted to $30,972,284, as compared with $28, 827,139 during the same period in 1916. It is the exports of the United States that suffer by the diver boat war. WOMAN'S PART IN WAR. Announcing the organization of reg istration bureaus and training classes in thirty-two states, with thousands of women' registered and actually under going training for motor driving, wire less operating, commissary and other kinds of service in case of war, the Na tional League for Woman's Service has issued a statement showing the need for a "National ,Woman Power Board" to supervise the development and co-ordination of the woman pow er of America. Reports received at the national headquarters of the league, 105 West! Fortieth street, New York, from the state organizers show that the women of the country are eager to be trained for service to the nation in either war or pece, and, according to the league's officials, tend to emphasize the need for a federal board to help prevent such confusion and waste as was experienced in Europe before the women there were able to play their part. Practical war service is already be ing performed by several newly formed "detachments," as the local groups are called, in conducting can teens in which the militiamen guard ing bridges and waterworks near New York and Connecticut are served cof fee and sandwiches. Classes for train ing in at least one of the numerous lines of work open to women are in full swing in all of the thirty-two states now organized, and in many cities instruction can, now be had in almost any work for which there are volunteers. While the part played by women in the European war forecasts their val ue to this country in case of emerg ency, the delays and confusion that occurred before they were able to as sume their tasks, according to Miss Grace Parker, national commandant, of the league, may be repeated here unless immediate action be taken. Miss Parker points out that the confusion in England at the outbreak of the war was due to the lack of facilities to mobilize the woman power of the country, the vital necessity of which4 however, was at once recog nized. -Commending the registration of women'that is now being under taken by some of the states that haxe recently enacted military census laws, she says the league1 is endeavoring to supplement this work in other states, notably New Jersey, 'where a house to house canvass is being made. Advisory boards are being formed of leading authorities on agriculture, food conservation, social work, and other activities in which women will par ticipate, and a suggestion being ad vanced is the amalgamation of the Home Economics Bureau of the de partment of agriculture and the pro posed Women's Bureau of the depart ment of labor form the necessary ma chinery for a National Womn Power Board, It '-will be a" fortunate thing for Mexico if the Germans succeed in in ducing Jper to start a war with the United States. She will receive a good drubbing and Uncle Sam will make that country oris fit to live in. .A ten-hour! aeroplane service from Chicago to -New-York and a two-day

Notwithstanding the "sane Fourth" movement the United States continues to injport fireworks to the value of $250,000 annually from Hong Kong, according to a consular report. They are still used in celebrating Christmas in the south, and in political cam paigns. GLOBE MOTS From the Atchison Globe. J Don't make a specialty of expecting the worst.

The sight of one of those collapsible kitchen cabinets always filled Martin with strange, inexpressible longings. i'here was just enough of the house wifely in his' thoroughly masculine makeup to make him feel convinced that, were he a woman, there would be deep content in making biscuits and bread and cake and pies in front of one of those devices, with the neat little rows of spice boxes all ranged most conveniently to hand, where sugar and flour could be measured out in cupfuls and sifted at the simple turn of a lever and where all the dishes that any one might need for cooking for two were within easy reach. And at the department store, that Martin passed every night on his way home from business, there was a whole window full of those tempting, soul-disturbing cabinets, ranging from little oak ones at $19.74 to white enameled affairs at $99.69. A woman stood beside him looking longingly at them, too, and as Martin saw her he sighed. If Mardie only liked kitchen cabinets. But Mardie was not that sort of wife. The display of tempting purple hats in the next window or the new books beyond would have caught her eye. But kitchen cabinets, never! After Martin had indulged his dream for housewifely joy in this fashion, dinner at the boarding house, to which he always brought a strong, brave appetite, seemed less sufficient and less satisfying than ever. The clatter of dishes at the other tables seemed intolerable. In one's own dining room, no mat ter how small, -there would never be that clatter. There would never be those incessant voices. There would be no voice but Mardie's. But of course Mardie was there in the board ing house, and, as Martin's eye caught the dainty well-manicured lianas be side him, he realized that perhaps were Mardie of a more housewifely turn those fingers would be less ex quisite. As he heard her discussing a recent interpretation of Ibsen's tlavs with the professor at the table he realized that a more domestic wife would be less intellectual. One ought to be proud of a wife who could speak with such easy familiarity of "Hedda oaoier ana "Kosmersholnis," even if she couldn't make muffins and didn't know a frying pan from a muffin tin One ought to but Martin was think ing of the kitchen cabinet and he n i even imien i,, the Ibsen talk. i'hat night as Mardie was sitting reading rereading, i course one of Ibsen's plays. Martin,, as usual, was buried in the evening paper. But his longings pursued him even there. For there spread .over a half page of the evening paper was an advertisement of those tantalizirg kitchei cabinets with cuts almost as tempting as the cabinets themselves and a column of description of all their v' -tL.es. He felt Mardie's eyes on him and. fearful lest she could see thru the pa per, he remarked, with assure ed nat uralness, "I see copper's dropped a couple of points.'' Then ..e felt that the tyes were no longer on Urn, and from the other side of the room be heard just the suggestion of a sob. "What's the matter?" His voice was all solicitude, but the bcok was raised hiRher and Mardie merely laughed by way t,f answer and then fibbed that the play had amused her and that she had been stiflin a gig gle! Martin took "one more furtive look at the kitchen cabinet and men i turned to the real estate section to read about toe dainty little house keeping apartments that he had often dreamed about. And then the book dropped and Mardie's dainty mani cured hands went to her face and the sobs melted into oiie long wail. Arn t you happy Martin soothed. After Mardie's sobs there had been the tempest of Mardie's tears and then came the soothing of them. "I'm -10 glad you asked that." Mardie bright ened, "because I'm not just exactly nappy and I didn't want to have to tell uu. I've been making i lans and you are always so busy will that hor rid old paper and the stock Quotations and the real estate reports I saw you reading those reports this very min ute that I never get time to tell you. I'm not happy. I want to do some thing. I want to well, you see. 1 have a brain just as much as you have. I want to accomplish as much as you do. Just because 1 am a woman Martin winced. K ha .own suf fragists before he had married Mardie, and one of the reasons why he was at first drawn to her was because in spite of her little intellectual affectations she had never wanted to march in parades or study law or wear mannish shirts or watch at the polls ol have a career. Somehow he felt now that he had been dreading the very turn of events that seemed to be beginning. "Even if 1 am a woman," she went on. "there is no reason why I should not be an industrial factor. There is no reason why 1 should not become efficient; there is no reason why I should be a parasite To Martin all this sounded deadly familiar. He had heard it lots of times before and he could endure no more. "I know," he murmured. "I've heard that dope before-" "But not just this."- Mardie per sisted. "You see industrial conditions have changed woman's position" Martin dropped his head in his hands peevishl" "Oh, don't." he was almost fierce as he spoke. "Don't go to into details. What put hat sort of thing into your head, anyway? Not Ibsen you've always read Ibsen." "Yesterday I went to a conference of the Woman's College Club." "Lord!" Martin was one of the men who believed that he disliked all col lege women on principal. "Cut that out. I don't want to hear it." The vision of the kitchen cabinet and the neat iittle apartment vanished as he crumpled the paper in his hand and dashed it to the floor. Mardie's tears were dry. "Well, since you won't listen lo explanations." she said with hauteur, "there won't be any. I want to take a course at col lege, i feel that my education has been neglected. I want to become ef ficient. 1 want to She was try ing to explain again "Xot with my money can you take a college course," was Martin's ver dict. "You know my prejudice." "Nobody said anything about your money." snapped the wife. The tact that she had never spoken in that tone before made it all the more cutting, now that it came; "I may be poor, but I'm not a pauper. I've got a few hundred dollars in the bank and I'll use that and ask no questions. I was 'going to explain but you wouldn't understand." Then Mardie smiled very sweetly, and Martin, trusting in the feminine inability to keep a secret, felt sure that she would tell him in good time. Hut Mardie did not tell. This took place one evening In Sep tember just when Ihe law classes at the university were forming. And be cause Mardie was gone from home five or six hours every day. Martin knew that she had kept her threat. If she evg r studied at home, the books were always well concealed in the evening and Mardie's conversation be trayed nothing of the object on which her mind must be dwelling during the hours of the day. Martin listened carefully for indications. She still discussed Ibsen and Bjornson with the professor, but she had always done that. Once the professor had begun with "I saw you on the campus this morning," and a-finger raised to Mar die's lips, had stopped him. Martin saw this pantomime and fretted with the recollection of it for days. Then came the revelation. It was the day in May when the department store on the corner made its spring display of kitchen cabinets. Only the new models were more enticing than before. There were special little slabs for making puff pastry. Did some fel lows actually have wives that could make putf pastry on marble slabs like that? That morning on his desk was an invitation. He opened it with feverish haste, for it was written on the sta tionery of the university. "Depart ment of Household Arts" was the heading on the folded sheet wit"-in. "The honor of your company is re quested at a luncheon to be given Saturday at 1 o'clock by the graduat ing class in household management. The luncheon is to be prepared and served entirely by members of the class." Martin remembered that Mardie had inadvertently asket- him the night before whether he would be free the next day for luncheon, ind then she had asked him to go to the post box with her while she posted a letter. When he reached the domestic science laboratory at the university five min utes ahead of time, no Mardie was to be seen. Probably he had got the wrong invitation, he thought; perhaps he had meant to send him one tor j debate between the juniors nd seniors of the law school on whether or not women had a constitutionr.l right to the ballot. But he i'ed wai.ed because on one bide of the domestic science laboratory there was an array of kitchen eabinets like oniy mucu more complete than those in the de partment ntore window. And here he eould not only see them. He could, examine them as well. Then he turned and saw the table at the other end of the room, all set with flowers and dainty linen and all the home touches he loved. He saw other people assembling for the luncheon, proud mammas and old grandfathers, husbands and sisters and suitors who had been invited by the students who had had a hand In the luncheon. And the instructor of the class was there to greet them. "Oh. yes Mr. Stone. So glad to meet you she was saying after he had inquired for his wife. He was in a delirium of delight when she told him that h s wife was the most effi cient member of the class. "She will be in presentlj, but she is so capable that she is in charge of the luncheon. That is wha delays her in the kitchen. Did she tell you that next year we are goirg to make room for her as a part-time lecturer'' She tells me that she hopes you will consent to take a little houseKeeping apartment near college, hut with modern methods and her efficiency. I know she will have time fot the work at home and here as well. Mr. Stone, you are such a fortunat- man to have a wife who is so home loving." (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SIDE TALE! BY RtJTH CAMERON. Good Tastes versus Good Taste. "You know I've always had things nice," I heard a woman say the other day, "and I simply can't bear cheap things." That remark was the preliminary to giving an order for an expensive piece of goods. "I know I -ought to buy something cheaper," she added, after she had given the, order to "charge and send" and turned away from the counter, "but I couldn't bear it. I sometimes wish I didn't have good taste." Poor lady, as if good taste were ever a hardship to any .one. I suspect she was making the mis take that a great many people make, that of confusing good taste with ex pensive tastes. Good taste and expensive taste are far from identical. At the most, they are only distant ly related, if at all. For good taste is bred out of love of beauty by good judgment, whereas expensive tastes are bred out of love of anything ex pensive by the desire to outshin? one's neighbors. I happen to know a man and his wile who perfectly :nustrate tne dir ference .between these two. The man is what he himself calls "fastidious." He has bee used to having things "just so" and he likes them that way ana no otner- As bachelor, he had an income which was comfortable for one, ana ne spent it almost wholly on that one. Result, expensive tastes. For instance, he will not wear a pair of stockings that cost less than fifty cents, a fact f which he is very uroud. His wife, on the other hand, has never had a chance to have expensive tastes, but she has the best of good taste and she has accomplished mira cles with it. Her home, with its rest ful wall paper, low lights, inexpensive but well-chosen furniture, harmonious handings and freedom from cluttering bric-a-bric, is une perfect examnle of what good taste can do with limited means. Her children s clothes and her own are another. She has reason 'to be proud of her taste. Her husband should be asham ed of his. And yet, I'll wager, he has the greater pride. That is the most maddening thing about people with expensive tastes.- their pride in them, especially when they are beyor.d their means. I feel sure he looks down on people who can enaure a twenty-live cent (or cheap er) stocking. They always do. She. on the other hand, is too busy exercising her good taste to be vain or it.

GARIS Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane's Purse. Uncle Wiggily Longears, the rabbit gentleman, was going through the woods one day, looking for an adven ture; now searching among the dried leaves at the foot of the trees, and again peeping up among the branches, when, all of a sudden, ha heard some one singing a song like this: "Rock-a-bye birdie in the top tree. You shall sleep sweet when the wind bloweth free. N'er shall you fall, for your cradle is strong. So sleep, little birdie, and list to my song." "Well, that's very nice, I'm sure," said Uncle Wiggily, looking up to see where the song came from. And, as he did so, he saw a little bird flutter and fall from among the tree branches. "Ha! This must never be!" cried the bunny gentleman. "That little chap will be hurt if he hits the ground, for it is a newly hatched out little bird. What can I do? Ha! I have it! I'll let him fall on my back, which is covered with fur and is soft." Quickly the bunny rabbit gentleman hopped under the tree and when the little bird almost reached the ground it landed safely on the rabbit's back, which was iike a feather bed, and so birdie was not hurt at all. "Oh, how kind and good of you!" exclaimed the mother bird fluttering down from the nest, which was a very queer one. "I guess I rocked my baby's cradle too hard. Come, birdie, daddy and I will help you back into the nest." Then the father bird, who was beau tifully colored orange and black, came to help the mother bird lift the little bird back into the nest- And they both thanked Uncle Wiggily very much, indeed. "What kind of birds are you?" ask ed the bunny. "We are Baltimore orioles." was the answer of the bird father. "We came up from the south a little early this year, and we have just finished build ing a new nest. There it hangs, near our old one." and the bird pointed with his wing to another queerly shaped nest in the tree. It looked iike a bag. and hung by four strings, or twisted vines, to the tree branch, swaying in the wind. It was almost like a pocket, or like the slipper bag which little girls carry to dances with them. "Oh, what a nice nest!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "And you have two of them?" "That other is one we built last year," said the mother oriole. "It is too small for us this year so I made another. But I must weave it a little deeper, so the birdies will not fall out. We never can thank you enough. Uncle Wiggily, for saving Tootsie from a bad fall. Y'ou caught her just in time." "Pray do not mention it," begged Uncle Wiggily, modest like. "Oh, but we can't forget yonr kind ness." said Mrs. Oriole, "and if ever we can do you a favor we will." Uncle Wiggily hopped off before they could thank him more, and on and on he went thru the woods, look ing for an adventure. But he did not find any, and when he reached his hol low stump bungalow he saw Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat lady nouseiteeper, just going to the store for some things for supper. "I'll be right back that is, if I don't lose the money," said the musk rat lady. "My nurse is so old that often the penniea and five-cent pieces "That's too bad!" said Uncle Wig gily. "I er oh. no matter," he said auickly. "I'll tell you when vou enme back." The truth of the matter was that just then he had an idea to get Nurse Jane a new purse, and he did not want to speak about it, for he wantea to surprise ner. So. while she went to the eror-.i-v Uncle Wiggily quickly hopped on to the pocketDooK store "I'll get Nurse Jane the verr finest purse my carrot money can buy," he said. sne ii ime icai, ana tnen she 11 never lose her pennies again." But alas! Likewise unhappiness! When Uncle Wiggily reached the purse store it was closed, be tried to find another, but could not and the five-and-six-cent store, which was Just closing, had no purses of the kind the bunny wanted. "Oh, dear! Isn't -."is tht worst J YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE? kind of luck!" cried Uncle Wiggily on his way home thru the woods. "I can't get a purse for Nurse Jane no matter what I do. And I did so much want to surprise her. Oh. if I could only get a purse!" "Ha! How will this do?"-suddenly asked a voice in the air ever Uncle Wiggily's head, and on the leaves at liis feet dropped a purse maae oi woven string, grass, hairs from the tail of horses and small wood vines. It had four strings, one on each cor ner, to pull it shut. Ha! That is a very p-oper kma oi a purse for a muskrat lady!" cried the bunny. W here did it come from "It is our last year's nest." answered the voice, and down flew the beautiful Baltimore oriole. "Take it to Nurse Jane, please. It will safely hold her nennies so she will not lose them. You did us a favor by catching our baby bird, and you are quite welcome to our old nest." "Oh, thank you so much!' cried Uncle Wiggily, and Nurse Jane said the nest-purse was just what she wanted. And the next time you see an oriole's nest you'll say the same. So. if the ootato masher doesn t fall on the foot of the stairs and ack j some of its toes, I'll tell you ne:.t about Uncle Wisrerily and Aunt Flippity Flop.

DINNER STORIES A young man who was not partic ularly entertaining was monopolizing the attention of a pretty debutante with a lot of uninteresting conversa tion. "Now, my brother ne remarked in his course of a dissertation on his family, "is just tbe opposite of me in every respect Do you know my brother?" "No," tho debutante replied demure ly, "but I should like to." Little Marie stood in the doorway, one hand on the doorknob. For a moment she gazed at her mother, who was preparing .to go out. "Mother," she said, "do you know what I am going to give you for your birthday when it comes?" "No, dear," answered the mother. "Please tell me." "A nice hairpin tray with gold flow ers on it all around," said the little girl. "But, my dear," exclaimed the mother, "I have a nice one like that already." "No. you haven't, mother," Marie answered. "I have Just dropped it on the floor." What's in a Name? We are implacably at odds with Shakespeare in the matter of appella tions: we think that there is every thing in a name. Names are immeas urably influential. We cannot believe that Romeo would have meant all that he meant to Shakespeare and all that he means to us if his name had been Tomasso. wherefore art thou To masso Wherefore indeed? ne should find ourselves echoing with incredulous dismay. Who would dare to say that if Meliaande's name had been Fifi she would have evoked the grave and wist ful figure of M. Maeterlinck's love liest dream? When you change a name you meddle with profound and mysterious forces. Y'ou alter a man's psychic image of himself when you alter his name you change both his subjective and his objective relation to the universe. We have always con tended that the whole course of our national life would have been differ ent if Lincoln's first name had been Llewellyn. North American Review. Chance for Iromottnn.

"Of getting a "rise at any minute." HOUSEHOLD HINTS Butter Economy. This recipe makes one pound do the work of two. One pound good butter, one heaping teaspoon gelatin, one quart rich milk, two teaspoons salt. Skim cream from milk, add to this sufficient milk to- make one pint. Soak gelatin in two tablespoons milk for ten minutes, then stir the soaked gelatin over hot water until thoroly dissolved. Cut butter into small pieces and place in a bowl in hot water until butter begins to soften. Gradually whip the milk cream tone pint alto gether) and dissolved gelatin into the butter. When thoroly whipped add salt to taste. If milk shows continue beating un til all is mixed into the butter. This butter can be used for table and cooking purposes, except frying; is also for immediate use. Keep in cool place. If a deeper color is desired, use a little butter coloring; good without it. The Tabic. Glorified Rice Soak two table spoons gelatin in one-half cup cold water, wash one-half cup rice and sprinkle into boiling salted water. Boil until tender and dry. Dissolve gelatin over hot water and cool. Whip one pint cream, fold in gelatin, cold rice, one-half cup powdered sugar, -one teaspoon vanilla. Pour into mold. When ready to serve make following sauce: One-half tumbler quince jelly melted over fire with three table spoons cold water. Glazed Onions Choose mild onions. Melt half cup butter in saucepan, put in as many peeled onions as will fit in without crowding. Move about un til all are well coated with butter, sprinkle with tablespoon of sugar, then pour over them a well-flavored soup stock. If you have no stock on hand dissolve a little beef extract in hot water and salt well. Simmer un til onions are tender. Take off lid of saucepan and let stock simmer down to about half cupful. Serve in heated covered dish. Scalloped Beef Two cups cold chopped beef, two cups cooked toma toes, one cup brown sauce, one cup bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Ar range layers of beef and tomatoes in baking dish, seasoning each layer and moistening meat with brown sauce. Cover top with bread crumbs and bits of butter. Bake in moderate oven half hour. Cream Pie One cup cream, one cup milk, four tablespoons sugar. yolks of two eggs, one-half tablespoon corn starch, vanilla; use whites of eggs for merineue. Cook in double boiler un til consistency of thick cream. Beat until cool. Pour in baked crust. Cover with meringue and brown in oven. Italian Cream One quart sweet milk, yolks of three eggs, six table spoons sugar, three tablespoons corn starch; boil like custard. Make a meringue of white of eggs and a little sugar, flavor with vanilla. Things Worth Knowing. Mud spots may be readily removed from dress skirts, trousers, rubber coats or children's clothing by rub bing the spots well with sliced raw potato. When chamois on your manicure nail buffur wears out, re-cover it with a piece of kid cut from the wrist of an old glove using the wrong side up: does the work better and will wear twice as long. Cooking Mush Without Forming Lumps To cornmeal add hot water (not boiling water), stir. Corn starch, dissolved in a little cold wa ter, treated as tbove. will not lump. To Swallow an Egg If those who think it impossible to swallow an un beaten egg will try breaking it into a very slim glass instead of an ordinary cup or tumbler they will find the egg may be swallowed easily; it slips down narrow instead of spreading all over the throat. Pie Hint In these days of high prices, pie materials, with the excep tion of mincemeat, are clear out of sight. Take a package of mincemeat, add half a much cooked rice and half chopped carrots. This increases the amount and lessens the richness ao that it doesn't affect children's stomachs; makes two to three mora pies. When crocheting from a pattern paste patterr on piece of black goods. It is much easier to see the stitches. To prevent picture frames from making ugly marks on your walls, glue on the back of the frame at each cor ner a thin piece of cork. Hi j 1 1 1 v -4 I

Xorth Topekans Expect to Make Big Money From It. Vinton Coleman of 'he Dibble Gro cery company is the inventor of a new type of incubator of an entirely dif ferent construction from anything at present in use. Coleman and Jerry Patrick built the incubator, and if it is the success they anticipate, they vi-Ht put it on the market. They have applied for a patent, and have already patented a special type of stove for it. Their incubator Us a room. 10 by 10, snd 6U feet high.

Thanks. Frank M. Newland Advertisement 6,000 esss. In their present experi mental tests Coleman and Patrick are setting: ,765 eggs. The incubator is heated by a stove in the center. It burns wood charcoal, and will maintain a uniform tempera ture for 4 8 hours without replenish ing. The stove is called a "Magazine Wood Burner." It is four feet high and two feet squat e. Uniform temperature Is maintained in the room by two drafts, one at the top to allow the escape of hot air, and one at the bottom to admit cold air. These drafts are opened t.nd closed by automatic expanding metal plates. When the temperature rises to 103 degrees the drafts automatically open to allow the cooling of the room. When it falls to 100 they close again. According to Coleman, the idea of building an incubator in the form of a room is entirely new. The usual machine holds not above 400 eggs. There is no limit to the capacity of one built on Coleman's plan. The testing now in progress has so far indicated that the machine is a complete success. The newly patented stove will be put on the market next fall. The two inventors intend to manufacture the incubators and the stoves in their own workshop where their experimenting has been carried out.

TOO FAST FOR 'EM Germans Build U-Boats Faster Than Their -Capture. With Better Weather Blockade More Serious to England. London, March 28. In both houses of parliament the U-boat menace and the British blockade were discussed with amazing frankness. In the house of lords former first lord of the admiralty. Lord Beresford, drew an extremely dark picture of the effects of unrestricted U-boat war fare. VTe said thus far in March 225 china fif mnra than 430 Oftft tonfl had been destroyed and with longer days and better weather coming the toll would necessarily be increased. He said the Germans were building new U-boats faster than the British werecapturing them. He warned the lords that Germany seemed to have more men and more food than any one in England had imagined. He criticised the foreign office for what he thought an unjustified control over the British naval affairs. In February, Lord Beresford said, 281 vessels aggregating a tonnage of more than 500,000 were sunk. In the house of commons Sir Ed ward Carson, first lord of the admir alty, called Lord Beresford's criticism "absurd." He said the present policy of the foreign office was exactly what it should be and as it could only be in the circumstances. Sir Edward added that if the navy, following Lord Bereford's suggestion. sized every neutral ship and its cargo, thus effecting Lord Beresford's idea of a blockade, "Great Britain would be at war with everybody." He said England could not afford to adopt more stringent measures toward friendly neutrals. MANY OUT TO SHOOT J. C. Stewart Makes High Score With AO On of TnsH.llle 50.

GUARD PR0PERTY Railway Bridges Will Be Pa troled if War Is Declared. Buildings, Yards and Shops To Be Closely Watched. In view of the national crisis, west ern railroads, including those in Kan sas, were today completing plans for protection of their property against damage or destruction by aliens or others. Guards have already been placed at all important bridges and at other places where destruction of property would seriously namper traffic and delay troops movements. Large buildings, yards and shops thruout the west are also being watch ed closely by special agents and guards, officials said today. Steps toward immediate protection of railway property already taken in Kansas are deemed by officials to be extensive enough for absolute safety. In case of war, plans now being per fected by the roads, will be put in action and a stringent guard will be placed over all buildings, shops, right of ways, bridges, trains and yards. While the majority of these guards will be in the employ of the roads, railroad officials here have received advices that the national guard and the regular army will co-operate. Bridges Must Be Guarded. Interference with western railroad traffic would probably handicap the United States in preparing for war more than any other western condi tion. Bridges over the Mississippi. Missouri, the Kaw, the Colorado and other big rivers could not be replaced in a day and their destruction would not onlv serve to delay troop move ments but would temporarily hinder transportation of foodstuffs. Kansas rroads, said to be keeping a strict watch on important bridges and ter minals, include the Rock Island, the Katy, the Missouri Pacific ,the Frisco, the Santa Fe, the Burlington and Ln ion Pacific. CHLORINE IN WATER N'ewland Will Xot Take Chances on Purity of City Supply. Employees of the city waterworks are placing a chlorine plafit at the in take ot the water reservoirs. In the future should the city find it necessary to pump water directly into the reser voirs, fear of impurities may be dis pelled, according to a statement made this morning by ranK Ai. Aewiano, commissioner of water. "If a big fire is in progress," said Commissioner Newland, "and it is nee essary to run water directly from the river we can shoot the chlorine into the water and kill any impurities. However, the chlorine will not im prove the muddy appearance of such water." The result of the chemical analysis of the water sent to Kansas universi ty has not been received in Topeka. Commissioner Newland stated that he wasn't apprehensive concerning the result of the analysis. Jesse Shaw superintendent of waterworks, warn ed Topeka people Monday to boil their drink water as it had Deen necessary to pump water from the, river directly into the reservoirs. WOMEN VINDICATED Former Premier Champions Their Cause In House of Commons. London, March 28. -Former Pre mier Asquith said in the house of commons today that the house would not be unprepared to hear that he and other members no longer regarded the question of woman suffrage from the standpoint they occupied before the war. Mr. Asquith made this statement in moving the adoption of a plan for an electoral reform. Mr. Asquith said his opposition to woman suffrage always had been based solely on consideration of pub lic expediency. The women have now worked out their own salvation. The war could not be carried on without them. "What moved him especially, he add ed, was the problem of reconstruc tion after the war. He considered it to be neither just nor expedient to withhold from women the power or the right to make their voices heard directly.

Admits It and Says He Will Run if Nominated. Washington, March 28. Hopes for a non-partisan organization of the House of Representatives at the spe cial session next week was virtually abandoned today by Representative Mann, Republican leader in the last house, and proponent of the plan. After a conference with Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader Kitchin and Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria tions committee, Mr. Mann saia ne saw little hope for coalition. "I still stand wnere l stoou ohk- nllv he said, "but I think two tickets will be put into the field. I am willing to be the Republican can didate for speaker if the Republicans want me to run and I think I shall be the candidate if one is named." Line Up Labor for Gov't. Labor department officials, civil ser vice commission, representatives anu officers of the American Federation of Labor conferred today on plans to make readily available sufficient labor for the government in event of war. The United States public employment service, under the labor department. will arrange to supply unskilled work ers for munitions plants, arsenals and navy yards and for private concerns turning out government contracts. The American federation will furnish skill ed workers and the civil service com mission, clerical workers. The labor department is planning a census of the country's labor resources. How Many Will Be There. House leaders spent some time to day figuring on the attendance they will have Monday when voting on a house organization begins. Theoreti cally there will be 433 members pres ent, but leaders admitted full attend ance is more than improbable. "Dope" writers nave been figuring that 217 votes will have to be cast for the winning candidates for speaker and other house officers. South Trimble, clerk of the house, who will be presiding-officer until a speaker is elect ed, stated he will rule that, a quorum of 217 being present, only a majority of members in attendance and voting will be needed to elect. This ruling will result in election of the ticket with the biggest attendance. HEMUS CONCERT A sons? recital erven entirely English was the offering to Topeka's concert going public Tuesday night at the t irst Baptist church, when Percy Hemus, distinguished baritone, came back to Topeka, his former home, to give the program. He has won the approval of the critical world outside; so that one's judgment of his work need not be colored by any sense or local pride. The rendering of song in the vernac ular does not occasion the apologies' iouna necessary m tormer years, when singers were striving to employ talents trained to the enunciation of j vent violent temper upon him and ab Italian, French or German, in the sent herself from home. for days at a service of English. Mr. Hemus, while he sings in the foreign texts, finds neither difficulty nor embarrassment in the employment, thru sone. of his own language, for he was one of those who gave encouragement to the sing ing ot a greater proportion of native songs on eastern concert programs. in cnoosing nis program, Mr. Hemus ave it remarkable variety, making a wide range in his choice of composers. The first two numbers, "Where'er You Walk" and "Hear Me. Ye Winds and Waves," were by Handel, while in the second group he sang April Tide," written by Ralph Cox and dedicated to him. In his last group .was the little song "Flower Rain," written by Schneider, who played it once in To peka when Madame Gadski si ne it. One of the newest numbers was writ ten by Sousa after the beginning of the present war. It is entitled "Boots," and is based on the reports of mad ness among the soldiers caused by the sound of boots on the ground in long marches. Mr. Hemus's voice is a baritone. clear, of wide range, and unmistak ably sympathetic in quality. His pro gram, tho not employing a great deal of vocal display, sufficed to disclose an art pleasing by its command of vocal resources and by its broad and convincing mastery of the more mu sical aspects of song interpretation. His voice is one of good resonance, and his singing sets forth the ideals of lyric declamation with rare clarity and completeness. However, it is in the dramatic reading of his texts that the most popular appeal in his music is found. His enunciation is perfect, and he gives his songs, whether grave or gay, dramatic or quietly lyric, with a facile and illuminating emphasis of sense and mood. It is this versatility that makes equally interesting a simple song like the negro melodies, "Deep River" and "A Southern Lullaby," or the old clown's song from the Winter's Tale, the immensely dramatic episode of Danny Deever's hanging, or Hahn's poetic monotone in praise of peace. The audience derived some thrills from Huhn's "Invictus," and Gilbert's "Pirate Song," and demanded an en core after the Irish ditty "I'm Not My self at All." The number, "Boots," is worthy of special mention, not only by reason of its dramatic possibilities and some peculiarities in its compo sition, but also by reason of its spe cial appeal of the moment. A good sized audience attended the concert, many of the people remain ing to greet Mr. Hemus as a personal friend as well as a successful artist. Mr. Daniel Muller, under whose au spices ne came to TopeKa, has ar ranged for him to give another con cert in this city next season. Mr. Hemus's wife, whose program name is Gladys Craven, is his accom panist, and an able pianist. B. II. MASONIC NOTiCE The members of Orient Lodpre No. 51 A. F. A.

During these intervals of ab sence Hout declares that he cooked his own meals and cared for his own home.

He asks only for a divorce. Villa Force Defeated, Juarez, March 28.

Four hundred carloads of potatoes, stored in the vicinity of -this city, the center of the Colorado potato growing district, are said to be rotting in the pits. They are, not wanted. Commission merchants, refuse to handle them. rowers say, because there is no mar ket. The people of theUnited States have simply quit buying potatoes, ex cept in small quantities for special occasions. "They only serve spuds at dinner parties,' complained one disgruntled grower. A few weeks ago, as the market climbed, day by day, growers were jubilant. They stood a fair chance of "cleaning up" a pile of money.

He will receive an answer in a few days. Just because a man is more than 45 years of age, he isn't barred from the camp, Gordon stated. But they must pay the government 50 cents a day for their "board and room." Youths from 14 to 18 years of age may attend camp but they will be obliged to pay $35 for the training. The government furnishes railroad fare and "board and room in a tent." Also uniforms will be supplied to the civilians attending the camp. Hcfeat "nry' Referendum. Springfield, 111., March 28.

He was so int rested in the changes that have occurred in the "old home town" since he made it his starting point on the road to fame, that he could scarcely spare any time to discourse on his own climb to the top of the world, where he stands an eminent figure among musical artists. rou know," he said, "I used to De telegraph boy here before the wire' was brought into the building, and carried the telegraph news up from the Western Union office. I was the most important person about the place in those days, s nd even the re porters stood asj.Je while I blustered in, with my chest swelled out, and carried the big news to the editor'.1? tlesk. In those days we used to han dle papers from the mailing depart ment in a push cart. "Well, how about your own affairs since you left this town, where a lot of the men and women tell us how they used to eat bread and jam with you in the days that are gone, Maggie?" "Oh, that s a loner, sad story, he said, laughing, and certainly giving the lie to the "sad" part of it. "I have been doing concert work, and trying in recent years especially to encourage the work of American composers, by singing in our own language as much as possible, and by giving annually a program of all-American music. It is a fact that we have a large musical literature that' American music lovers in general know little or nothing about. Many or our composers nave found It necessary to write under foreign names to get their songs even tried in this country, and others have written their music to words of other languages for the same reason.' In the east, the love of English and Ameri can songs is growing and opera and songs in our own tongue are coming to be accepted more and more, but in the west I find the people still cling, more than I had expected, to the foreign language idea." "I understand," I said, "that your accompanist is your wife?" "Yes, she is, he answered, 'ana 1 like to have my friends know it, tho we don't tell that where we are not personally acquainted, and the reason is that the public has no interest in a man-and-wife professionally in team work. They love to speculate too well for that. They want to say to each other, 'Why does that young, pretty girl want to travel around over the country with that fat man I wonder if she is chaperoned? What do you suppose her mother is thinking of?' or 'Do you suppose they are in love with each other?' You see we want to let them weave their romances. But she plays accompaniments well, I think; at least New York accepts her at the concerts I give in Carnegie hall, and everywhere she appears as my pianist." Mrs. Hemus is not entirely a stranger here, as she is a school friend of Miss E. May Leet, a teacher of dramatic art in Topeka. She was gowned for the concert last night In a pretty evening frock of blue satin and embroidered lace; Mr. and Mrs. Hemus will leave' To peka Thursday morning for Colorado Springs, where they will visit Mr. Hemus' brother. Mr. George Hemus, Percy Hemus will give a concert Fri day at the lovely Burns theatre at the Springs, that all Topeka travelers to that city know. After that Mr. and Mrs. Hemus will return to New York, and Mr. Hemus will sing in opera. His company has chosen some of the operas that are seldom heard in this country, and which eastern music lovers are asking for. Topeka people who knew Mr. Hemus when he was a boy are mighty proud of his success, but they con tinue to think of him as the young telegraph boy rushing to speed the news to the daily paper readers, and as the beginning singer in cassock and cotta, carrying a hymn and chant book in the Guild Hall choir. Mrs. C. J. Wilson is entertaining a few tables at bridge this afternoon in compliment to her daughters, Mr3. Claude Butlin of the City of Mexico, and Mrs. Everett Dallas of Atlanta, Ga., who are visiting her at Iier home in Topeka avenue.

Pimples, sores anft boils usually re sult from toxins, poisons and impur ities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which- often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia; Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as well.

III., who is Mrs. March's cousin, and is visiting at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Kitchell. Miss Mildred Hazelrigg gave a pipe organ recital Tuesday at the Audi torium for the visiting dentists. At the close of the program she played patriotic airs, and the visitors sang the words to the songs. f Whenever a woman gets a good dress idea into her head she crowds a foolish one out, most likely. One of the foolish and false ideas is that a woman of taste wears nothing but subdued, dark colors, and that only vulgar persons care for bright colors. The designers of the present day, the fabric manufacturers, and the fash ion makers in general are, in these days, are following the ideas of Rus kin, who said that everyone ought to love color and to think nothing quite beautiful or Derfect without it. These arbiters of style are telling us that col ors are all right if only they fire prop erly harmonized and combined. One of the prettiest sartorial products of the past few years has been the danc ing frocks of tulle in which various vivid colors are intermingled. When the gown is properly constructed, the hues pass into each other by almost imperceptible gradations as the colors of the rainbow melt and mingle, form ing a series of tints and shadows and who would have the hardihood to say that the rainbow, was loud. When gray, rose and blue, are used in such a combination, the result is opales cence. The question of taste is less one of color than of combinations of colors, the style of the making and the place where it is worn. To illustrate, either black or white Is supposed to make a quiet, modest sort of gown, but combine the two in broad stripes, and you have about the noisiest costume that the state laws of Kansas will, permit you to wear. I noticed one down town last Sunday afternoon, ambling down the street, disturbing the holy Sabbath calm. A new book on gardening, entitled "My Garden," has been issued by Mrs. Louise Beebe Wilder, wife of Walter Wilder, whose father, the late Edward Wilder, was formerly treasurer of tho Santa Fe.

After numerous questions and an swers Judge Gaw learned that the caller's name was Joe Unterberg, that he is thirty-five years of age, that-he owns a neat little home in Oakland, that he is a widower and has a little girl five years of age. He Looked Her Over. "What do you know about this girl, Mabel Stitt?" asked the judge. "Well." said Unterberg. "I have been to the detention home to see her twice and she looks all right to me.

"Well, I can't hardly say about that," said Unterberg, "but I like her all right and I think we could hit it off." Judge Gaw didn't tell Unterberg then what he would do but told him to attend today's hearing. When the hearing began Unterberg was on the job with his little girl on his knee. He listened to all the testimony as to the character of Mabel Stitt and didn't flinch. But Mabel lacked his enthusiasm. She was asked about her end of the proposed contract. "Do you love this man?" she was asked. "I have only known him two weeks," she replied, "and in that time I have learned to like him. Maybe I could learn to love him." But she didn't warm up to the pro posal of marriage publically made and discussed in the court room. She admitted, and so did Unterberg, that Grandma Koot hatched the plan up and took Unterberg up to look the girl over with the hopes of keeping her out of the industrial school. Kd Kooney, attorney, represented the girl in her effort to keep out of the state institution and he plead for judicial .sanction of the proposed marriage. Hugh Fisher, assistant county attor ney, represented the state and objected to the marriage. TJkc Buying a Cow. "Mr. Unterberg." said Fisher, "you went up to the detention home and looked this girl over just as you would if you were planning 10 buy a horse or a cow, didn't you?"

The hearing to determine whether or not the girl should be sent to the girls' industrial school was held today and was a continuation of a case started in February when Mabel Stitt was placed in the county detention home.

BRINGING UP FATHER VrNT "YOU SPEAK TO OAOHTE1? 0 I JONE? Kl HER IM THF MAI I LITTLE LILLIAN ROMAINE FISHER CAN TALK AGAIN This attractive little lady is the two year old daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Fisher, 238 North St., Harris burg, Pa. Last winter she had an at tack of measles, together with a very severe cold. Just at that "time Drug gist S. J. "Wilhelm presented Mr. Fisher with a jar of the Southern "outside" treatment Vick's VapoRub Salve, which was just then being in troduced in Harrisburg, and requested that he give this preparation a thor ough trial. Air. Fisher writes "I must say that our baby had such a cold on her chest and in her throat that she could hardly talk, and we could not get her to take anything internally. After we used Vick's VapoRub Salve on her breast and throat at night before going to bed she was entirely relieved." No family should be without this preparation. It is externally applied, and so can be used freely it is ab sorbed through and penetrates the skin, and, in addition, is inhaled as a vapor. It has a hundred uses for the many minor ailments for which ever "'other is the doctor. Three sizes, "c, 50c or 1.00. vAavertisemelit.) HOW GOOD THAT MUSTEROLE FEELS! It Gets to That Sore Spot Like Magic A-a-h! That's delicious relief for those sore muscles, those stiff joints, that lame back. Musterolc is a clean, white ointment, made with the oil of mustard and other home simples. It does the work of the old fashioned mustard plaster, minus the plaster and minus the blister! You simp!y rub Musterole on the spot where the pain is rub it on briskly and usually the pain is pone. No muss, no bother. Just comfort ing, soothing relet' first a gentle plow, then a deKphtful sense of cool ness. And best of all, no blisters like the old-fashioned mustard plaster used to make. Use Musterole for sore throat, bron chitis, tonsilitis. croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges tion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, yprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil blains, frosted feet and colds of the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). COMING MJOV PHOTO Or KtUBUIl AUTISTIC 1 I u TO ILL HER S TALK IN' HOME GARDEN CLUBS Soil Combination Here Ideal for Vegetable liaising. BY It- W. MITCIIEIJ Are the school children of Chicago brighter, more industrious and more capable than the school children of Topeka? You will say: No! And you are right. Are the agricultural environments and conditions of the Chicago territory for gardening better than Topeka? No! In fact not as good. In this locality wo have a combina tion of the Norfolk and Chattanooga" toils, which is richer in nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid than gar den territory adjacent to Chicago., henc gardening conditions are more favorable here. In that locality, in 1914. twenty-nine school children of District No. "3. Cook county, Illinois, produced from seven acres, vegetables that netted SI, 185. 25, or an average of $169,33 per acre, and these results were brought about by the school children between the ages of 10 and 14 years, under the direction of a practical gar dener. The study of agriculture is accept ed as part of the regular course and mandatory that it be taught. Why not make it practical by having the children come in contact, with the greatest asset of our nation soil, land, dirt, ground, earth.' Five Knglish words used daily in speaking of that we walk upon, get our food and rai ment from, erect our homes upon. Yea! can't escape from while living and are buried in and become part of .when we die. The best results of this kind of agricultural training is the fact that itj.ias, ta-uebt each ciplld. to. realize whit he, himself, can produce, and what an important part of the soil plays in affording a means of liveli hood. It also increases the assets of our nation, because this body of children become producers, while they are con sumers, earlier in life, while working in the largest laboratory ever created. Will some one inform the readers of The State Journal why Topeka can not have an organization of home gar den clubs, similar to Chicago? Don't say money. For an organization can be made pay its own way. ARMORED CARS WIN British Spring Surprise and Germans Flee Precipitately. With the British Armies Afield, March 28. For the first time since the fighting in Belgium at the begin ning of the war, armored cars, sup ported by cavalry, -achieved the cap ture of a town today. The villgae was Boyelles. The ar mored cars, supported on the north and south by British cavalry, swept over the Germans. The enemy fled precipitately, not having expected more than a clash with small advance forces. The Germans had laid a trap at Boyelles for what they supposed would be a reconnoitering guard of the British advance. But they were over whelmed by the strength of the Brit ish forces no. less than by surprise at the bringing into action of the ar mored cars. Field Marshal Haig's men today held Boyelles in great strength. CHANGE FLAGS MAR. 31 At Same Time V. S. Delivers S25,00O, 000 for Danish West Indies. Washington, March 28. The Danish West Indies will be formally taken over by the United States Saturday when the Danish flag will be hauled down and the American flag raised over St. Thomas. Simultaneously the $5,000,000 purchase price will be paid to the Danish minister at Wash ington. Admiral James II. Oliver will leave the United States Monday as the first governor of the islands. The islands are being taken over under the name of "The Virgin Islands of the United States." This, however, is but a tentative name pending congressional resigna tion. The navy department has dispatched the Hancock and Olympia to conduct the formal ceremonies in St. Thomas harbor Saturday. Commander D. T. Pollock of the Hancock, and Com mander B .B. Bierer of the Olympia, will be in charge of the transfer. GERMAN EXODUS MYTH Report of Many Entering Mexico From 17. S. Officially Denied. Washington, March 28. Official re ports from the southern department, made public today, says: Reports that t many Germans have crossed into Mex ico since diplomatic; relations between the United States and Germany were broken off are without foundation.

Among the can didates for the presidency of the Kan sas! urautn is miss Catherine (Jamp ot Ottawa. Miss Campbell is Dallas,. Texas. March 28. One, of the most striking evidences of the eagerness of Dallas business men to re ceive some sort of military training is found in the fact that over 300 have applied to the -cal recruiting office for enrollment in the noon-day drill squads which are to begin work to morrow. Indications are that pos sibly that many more will have ap nlied before the day ends. Captain M. G. Holliday, army offi cer in charge of recruiting here, has appealed to former pray men in this vicinity for assistance and a number have responded. He siurerested the noon-day drill idea, not with the belief that it would be possible to give a thoro course of training, but because he was con vinced it would be excellent prepara tion for the citizens training camp here this summer. The response was Immediate in fact, a bit too immediate for Captain Holliday. National guard officers passing the site selected for the drills yesterday, saw a crowd of 100 men assembled, who called to them to "come show us how to be soldiers.' These officers. Lieutenant Munzen heimer and Second Lieutenant Purinton immediately went to work. They de clared it was worth going far to see fat business men, dyspeptic clerks. chauffeurs and tearnsters working sid by side in obedienee to commands. They Came Back. The officers deliberately made the work severe and laughingly predicted that none of the bunch would come back. But they did today, bringing fifty more with them, and Captain Hilliday and Sergeant Walsh had to be summoned to assist. General J. J. Pershing, command ing the southwestern department of the army, is manifesting keen interest in the preparation for the civilian training camp. If possible he pur poses attending and taking an active part in the work. Thousands of north Texans have sent word they will put in a month or six weeks on the grounds this summer. This i: only one of the ways in which the Texans are showing their patriotism, many are now outspoken in favor of the universal military training. Former President Taft aroused wild enthusiasm by his first speech in the state. He referred to the secret conspiracy of Germany for Mexico tc re-annex Texas, and said: "How would you Texans feel at election time hurrahing for Car ranza." The idea was received with wild yells of derision. But Taft persisted: "How would 'Remember the Alamo' sound?" When the tumult this question had caused died away, a man in the crowd yelled "All Mexico and Germany have got to do is come and take Texas!" After that Taft had difficulty in making himself heard. Wireless to Trap Game Violators. Marion, O.. March 28. Introducing the wireless detective. The Marion county Fish and Game Protective as sociation plans a series of wireless stations all over the county to trap violators of the fish and -game laws. New York, March 28. In connec tion, with the investigation of the strangling o Mrs. Elsie Lee Hilair here two weeks ago, the police are taking a oensus of so-called "Tango pirates" men who make a practice of meeting women, especially married women, in dancing places and extort ing money from them. Of 76 names already obtained, it was said, investigations showed that almost rit'ty of tne "dancing men" were former convicts. Two of them have been released from prison within the last year. District Attorney Swann said, after serving terms for assault ing and blackmailing women. Search is being made today by the police fcr an anonymous letter writer, said to be a woman, who wrote that a day or two after Mrs. Hilair was killed a man resembling Benjamin Sternberg, who is under arrest, asked her employer, a jewelry "middleman,' if he could "dispose of some dia monds in a hurry." Hired to Cater to Matrons. These "devils of the dance" are new type, distinctively the product of the big city's hot house gaiety. Hun dreds of them are employed by hotels and cafes to cater to the passion for excitement of married women past the bloom of youth. Anyone with a mind to may see them at work. In the big, oriental and tropical garden-like tea rooms they snare their prey, the tango bugs who jump out of bed in the morning, get their husbands' breakfast, kiss them good-bye, put the house in order and hurry away afoot, in street cars and in limousines, to spend the after noon dancing and hurry home before dinner in the evening. "The tango lizards" are not to be arrested. But they are known to the police; and some of them are said to have most unsavory records. Many of them, the police said, were recruited to "lizardy" from the ranks of pool room hangers-on, race track touts and petty criminals. Secret Code Used. So perfect has become the "system' between the married women and the tea boys that they have evolved secret code. Any woman who hasn't definitely chosen her favorite "lizard has only to appear at any white way tea room wearing a gardenia to be as sured the attention of legions of them. Regularly employed lizards are forbidden to remain and talk to their "bug" after the dance is concluded un less she indicates a desire for conver sation.

A great offensive against Russia to take advantage of er supposed demorali zation is not regarded with favor by Major Moraht the widely known mill tary expert ot the Tageblatt. Major Moraht writes. "The foreground' of interest still lies in the situation on the western front From a purely military standpoint. must say that for the time being no change need be expected. Political consideration, which our military au thorities must take into account, prob ably will not be influenced by events in Russia- This must be emphasized because many politicians already see the sun of peace rising in the east, a peace that we are to win thru oper ations of force "I would consider it wiser to giv the conflict between the Russian army and the proisional government more chance to develop. "This weakening of our enemy can continue without our help and yet without precluding our attack at the moment wher. an inclination is shown to give up resistance.'
