KANSAS. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1917 -TEN PAGES THREE CENTS ICQ 0 f 0 lllj Ob 30 SET TIME FOR ARMY LOTTERY AT WASHINGTON roTOst General Announces Drawing of Draft Numbers. 9:30 A. M. at Capital Will Be 8:30 O'clock in Topeka. FLASHED BY WIRE AT ONCE Drawing In Committee Room in Senate Building o. 226. "Chances" of Entire 10 Jlillion Registered To Be Settled. Washington. July 1 9. At 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, in room 226 of the senate building, America's great lottery to determine the order in which her men are to respond to the call of democracy, will be held. This announcement was made at the capitol shortly after 1:30 this af ternoon following a visit to the capi tol by Provost Marshal General Crow der. Room 226, in which the fateful event is to take place, is a large com mittee room on the second floor of the senate office building. With the question of time and place disposed of, all details of the draw ing are now complete, except an nouncement of who will draw the numbers, who will announce them and who will constitute the official tally men. Crowder and Secretary Baker held conferences both this morning and this afternoon to determine these questions. Owing to the demand for absolute quiet while the drawings are made, only a limited number of people will be allowed within the room and press association wires will be connected up outside the chamber. Relieves Doubt About Enlistment. With arrangements fast being! whipped into completed form, General Crowder today took time to explain for the country the absolute need of drawing all numbers at this time, so that there may be no doubt in the mind of any man as to how soon he may have to respond to the colors. 'A moment's reflection will prove that the whole ten million men .should be- given their places on the list of 'order of examination,' Crowder said. "Every registered man is in a state of uncertainty. He does not know when he will be called. He .hesitates to plant a crop for fear he will not reap it. Employers hesitate to engage his services, fearing they will be but temporarily useful. "This condition ought to be cured for the repose of the public mind. It can be cured .to some extent by put i in every man on tne list. "For this reason, the whole ten mil lion names are to oe given places in the list of order of examination." L. M. GAZINTO N. Y. Chief Electrician of Santa Fe Resigns Hie Position. riaced To Be Filled Here by C. E. utter of Topeka. L. M. Gazin. chief electrician for the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway here since 1903, has resigned his posi tion with the company and has left for New York City where he has ac cepted a position as chief engineer of the Federal Light Traction com pany, it was announced today. Mr. Gazin came here for an elec trical firm which had headquarters in Colorado. As a superintendent of in stallation he installed the machinery in the central power plant at the shops here. The Santa. Fe apparently thought so much of Tiis work that it employed him as chief electrician. His Jump to New York is a promo tion in the -full sense of the word. For several years or, better say, since he became chief electrician for the Santa Fe here in 1903 he has been regarded as one of the premier au thorities of the country along electri cal and steam engineering lines. His New York jump places him am, ma- the most prominent electrical masters of the United States. While here, Mr. Gazin reported to the office of John Purcell, assistant vice-president in Chicago. His resig nation was effective July 17. He left for New York immediately. John Purcell has announced that C. E. Nutter, assistant superintendent of telegraph up until the time of Mr. Jones' resignation several months ago, has been appointed to succeed Mr! Gazin. Nutter is a Topekan and has been a resident of this city for several years. When the Jones resin-nation was handed in Nutter was transferred to special clerical work under Mr. Pur cell. The position necessitated almost continual road work. T. R. JR. REACHESPAR1S Paris, July 19. Theodore Roose velt, Jr., arrived from New York to day and was greeted by the prefect of the department in behalf of the French government. American naval and medical mis sions and a number of American am bulance workers .also arrived on the same steamer ANNOUNCE FULL PLAN FOR ARMY DRAFT DRAWING Nearly 10 Million Men To Be Consecutively Listed. Scheme Simple With o Chance for Any Partiality. FIRST DRAWN, FIRST TO GO Each Number Drawn Decides "Fate" of About 10,000. Local Boards To Call Double Its Quota Due to Exemptions. Washington, July 19. Ten million men are registered in the United States for war service 687,000 are needed in the first call for the national army. Who shall go first? This question is asked and the method by which it is to beanswered is outlined by Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder in an explanation is sued tonight of the great drawing about to be held in Washington. The scheme evolved is so simple that the drawing of one set of a thousand nu merals and another of ten will fix with absolute equality of chance the order in which every one of the ten million registrants shall report to his local board for examination and sub sequent exemption, discharge or ac ceptance for military service. Since the average exemption dis trict registration is 3,000 and there are 4,557 districts, the average num ber of men listed with each operation of the drawing machinery will be about 10,000. Notify Twice Quota. General Crowder announces also. that local boards will be instructed to call 200 per cent of their quota at the first call to provide for probable ex emptions. That means that 1,374,000 men will be notified to appear for ex amination within the next few days. If more are necessary, they will be called for as needed by the local boards in the order provided for in the drawing. In some districts the 100 per cent allowance for exemption may be too large and in others too small, but the (Continued on Page Five.) PARDONS SUFFS President Wilson Grants Am nesty to 16 Jailed Pickets. Action Follows Heavy Pressure by Friends Outside. Washington, July 19. President Wilson today issued pardons for the sixteen suffragists who are serving a scixty day sentence in the workhouse at Occoquan, Va., for picketing in front of the White House. Secretary Tumulty said the pardon must speak for itself and that the White House would have no statement to make of tt president's reason for his action. Early today while the sixteen mil itant suffragist prisoners swung into the drab routine of their second day at Occoquan prison, pressure from without was playing on President Wilson both to get them freed and to further the cause of votes for w men. That the president is more or less favorable in pardoning them was the word passed along. J. A. H. Hoskins, former New Jer sey national committeeman whose wife is a prisoner, is polling congress to ascertain sentiment on a suffrage amendment now. Don't IJke "Equal Rights." George Gordon Battle, New York attorney, has been engaged to repre sent the women prisoners and prob ably will take an appeal of the sen te ces. headers admit that recent sDectac- ular doings of the militant branch was to get publicity. The jailed suffrae- ists, accustomed to luxuries, found that oemg garbed In plain gray smocks, darning socks, and picking berries was far from comfortable, but they did not complain. They did seem, however, to object to the "equal rights' rules that mixed them indis criminately with white and colored women of varying degrees of crim inality. Won't Stop Picketing. Woman's nartv lenders nt thair headquarters expressed surprise at the president's action and declared emphatically that "Dicketinir" of th White House would not stop as a re sult of it. "Those women now in the work house have no interest in a pardon," Miss Mabel Vernon said. "They sub mitted themselves to arrest in the in terest of national woman suffrage and not in the interest of a pardon for their alleged offense." Altho all the women held out stead fastly against the payments of fines or acceptance of pardons the hus bands of half a dozen of them have been active in trying to bring about the release of their wives. Several of the women have small children at home. Upon Issuance of pardons, lib erty waa no longer a matter of choice. WARNS KANSANS AGAINST USE OF POISON PLASTER Sold at Farms and Small Towns in Eastern Fart. German "Disease Plot" In 2nd, 4th and 5th Districts. INNOCULATE GUINEA PIGS Federal Bacteriologists Making Tests With Tetanus Germs. Plot Eqniyalent to Poisoning TVell Water in France. Kansas City, July 19. Farmers and residents of the smaller towns of the Second, Fourth and Fifth congression al districts of Kansas were thought to possess large quantities of tetanus In fected court plaster, alleged to have been distributed by three men now in custody under federal jurisdiction in different towns of the state. As a result F-ed Robertson, United States district attorney for Kansas, today was sending out warnings from his office in Kansas City, Kan., against the use of any of the suspected ma terial. Investigation of the supposed plot continued today with every federal agency in Kansas at work to prevent spread of the disease. Large numbers of plasters, seized when three ped dlers were arrested, were being used in tests to determine more positively the degree of infection and also if pos sible to uncover clews that might lead to further arrests. However, with the publicity already given the case, any further attempt to dispose of the material by itinerants immed iately would be reported to him. Experimenting With Germs. Kansas City, July 9. Federal chemists and bacteriologists Were pre paring today to innoculato guinea pigs with cultures obtained from speci mens of court plaster believed to be impregnated with tetanus germs and alleged by the authorities to have been disseminated thruout Kansas by ped dlers as part of a plot to plunge the state into an epidemic of disease. Whether the alleged plot is believed to be of Germanic origin, has not been disclosed by Fred Robertson. United States district attorney for Kansas, in charge of the investigation but' it is understood that the name3 of some of the men under arrest are of Teutonic origin. Identity of the men has not been disclosed ncr have the places of their detention been an nounced. The latter move was de clared to have been takea to prevent any possible mob action. The court plaster under suspicion was sold or given away, was put in rhe conven tional flat package. In some, chemists said, all the sheets were treated with the deadly germs, while in others only one or two sheets were azected. The first possible fatality from such a plot was reported here last night from Winfield, Kan., where a man died after treating an apparently harmless sore on his leg with court plaster and poisoning his entire sys tem as a result. No definite connec tion with the men under arrest, how ever, .has bt'en established with thi instance. The arrested men are expected to be brought here for examination shortly, by which time it is believed definite analysis will have been made from the suspected court plaster." May Be Others. While' chemists are seeking to iden tify germs found with the tetanus ba cilli in cultures On- court plaster scat tered broadcast thru western Kansas by German agents, federal officials today are spreading a net wnich is expected to result in additional ai -rests. State officials are also making every effort to learn in what additional dis tricts the malignant plasters were dis tributed in order to forestall unneces sary contagion. The court plasters, investigators have found, are marked N. ,;Shure Company, 60, Chicago. Inquiries of Nathan Shure Company today es tablished the fact that the Chicago firm merely acts as middlemen for Bauer Black. G. T. Bauer, president of Bauer Black, stated to federal investigators that if court plasters from his firm had been used to spread disease they had been "doctored" after leaving the factory. "It certainly is possible that plasters can be used to spread disease," Mr. Black told special agents. "Wherever the plaster is spread over an onen j wound or even scratch, it gives the eni" upijuiiuimj io gei a toomoia in the blood of the intended victim." Discovered in Western Kansas. There are three sheets of plaster in each package, Fred Robertson, dis trict attorney said. When sent out from the factory there are fifty sheets to the package. The peddlers sold or gave away the reduced packets. The discovery of the plot was made by two western Kansas sheriffs whosej names the rederal officials refuse to reveal. The officers became suspi cious when the peddlers, who spoke with a German accent, generously left samples where they could not sell their wares. The activity, equalled only by the poisoning of French wells by Ger mans, is believed to be a part of a widely laid scheme. Appeal for Aid. Mr. Robertson telegraphed today to Attorney General Gregory a. Wash ington, asking aid to conduct a vigor ous investigation of the a.leged plot. He also authorized the postmaster at Winfield, Kan., to inqur. into the recent death there of Charles Mul ford.. The man was reported to have died of tetanus and- it was asserted the infection followed application to a slight leg wound of court plaster given him by persons believed to have j been of German origin.

Another mem ber of the Russian provisional gov ernment resigned today. The minis ter who tendered his resignation was M. Pereveizeff, who held the port folio of Justice. Petrograd, July 18. (Delayed via London. July. 19) The street disor ders which today resulted In proclam ation of martial law In Petrograd, ap parently grew out of Minister pf War Kerensky's disbandment of several companies of Pavlosk and Grenadier troops because they refused to fight. The government controls the city today as completely as the Bolshevik! appeared to control it Tuesday. Late Monday night a number of these soldiers, fully armed, staged a demonstration on the streets. They were Joined with nearly 4,000 men above the age of 40, refused military discharge by Kerensky. Later in the night a motor machine gun detachment paraded thru the Nevski Prospekt. The Russian people believed this regiment loyal, but they really belonged to the first machine gun regiment, which had refused or ders to proceed to the front. Auto-Machine-Gun Battle. Immediately the authorities called out the loyal government squad of motor machine guns. For five min utes the two units of automobile fight ers clashed in the streets, there was a tremendous fusillade in the Nevski Prospekt and the Sadovai, but not. a single fatality. One theory today was that both sides used blank cartridges. At 4 a. rn., Tuesday r-Cossacks par aded and succeeded in restoring order.

It has been proven in cities all over the United States that hotel facilities contribute generously to the growth of these cities. Nothing is of more value to a city than first class hotel facil ities. Topeka has suffered for years because of her lack of sufficient hotel accommodations. As the "conven tion city of Kansas" she is an every day host to Kansans and to persons from all parts of the United States. Topeka is the political, social, railway and commercial center of the state and her hotel offerings always have been inadequate. With the new 10-story 1500,000 structure an assured fact, Topeka will be able to take pride in her entertain ing efforts.

TH TOPEKA DAILY ST' JOURN A T.r THT TK T) AY EVENING, JULY 19, 1917 U-BOATS GLOAT AS SHIP BOARD ROW CONTINUES Submarines Now Sending Down Million Tons a Month. c i Chairman Penman Haggles Over Goethals's Flan. MEANWHILE ALLIES APPEAL See Serious Menace to Present Tonnage of 20 Million. Ship Board Sleets To Pass on Steel Ship Program. Washington, July 19, While Amer ica's ship building program was being kicked about between Chairman Den man and Manager Goethals of the hipping board today, allied demands for ships grew more insistent. Records of submarine sinkings for recent months show a great increase in tonnage bagged by German U-boats so great that official reports indi cate a million tons a month are sink ing beneath the waves. As a result Chairman Denrnan call ed a meeting of the shipping board and General Goethals for It o'clock to day to pass on the big steel ship pro gram. Goethals's highest hopes of 3,500,000 tons of new ship within the next eighteen months is barely more than twice the submarine destruction of 00,000 last month, reported troiu Liondon. At this rate the Germans are suc ceeding beyond their fondest dreams and if true will have the allies on the smallest rations within a short time, olflcials say. The allies' tonnage is estimated at 20,000,000 and new yearly production at 6.000,000 tons, including America's figures. Germans ltcalizo Hopes. The government shipping board's estimate of submarine sinkings lur nished by French and English officials is 1,000,000 tons sunk a month since ruthless torpedo attacks started last February. Even this rate, which equals what the Germans said would bring England to her knees, has re sulted in allied appeals for help from the United States. Representatives of Italy, France and Kngland may be seen daily haunting the shipping board's offices, urging ships to carry coal and food and to keep raw materials going to European munition factories. However, tie Goethals-Denman row over the proper ship construction program may hold up relief longer. If today's boai 1 meeting modifies Goeth al's program, a new plan of action must be formulated. Chairman Den man stated he did not believe a few days would make much difference when the -question o J600.000.000 ex penditure is considered. Antagonism a Factor. Denman'a avowed intention of scrutinizing every contract made by Goethals. resulted in the charge today that their differences are not person al but rest on Denman's antagonism to the "steel crowd." Goethals's appearance before the board for the second time, had dra matic elements. Unaccustomed to in terference on the Panama Canul, he was cross-examined by much younger men on the board today and his judg ment repeatedly questioned. The gov ernment shipping program calling for $750,000,000 expenditure is consider ably more than the cost of the canal, Denman pointed out.

RUSE SINKS U-BOAT Feigned Abandonment of Ship bnt Left Gunners Aboard. A Gulf Port, July 19. A cleverly executed ruse by the captain of a British steamer in conjunction w'th two members of the gun crew sent one of the kaiser's U-boats to the bottom of the sea, according to the captain of a steamer arriving here t jday. The submarine opened fire with long range guns out of danger of the steamer's fire. The captain noting that he had no chance to win in an open fight, resorted to a trap. He ordered all hands into. the boats, save two members of the gun crew who were left behind with instructions to hide. The submarine commander fell into the trap. He ceased fire and made for the steamer, presumably to obtain supplies and complete the work of destruction by a cheaper and more certain method. The gunners waited until certain of a hit and' then leaped out nt trained their weapon before, the Germans were able to under stand a trap had been set for them. The fire was accurate and the U-boat sank within a few minutes. The steamer crew returned from the boats and took their vessel into port.

Most of the armored automobiles are now In possession of the workmen and soldiers' delegates. Special Session Cabinet. Petrograd, July 19. An extraordi nary session of the cabinet council yesterday morning considered trans ferring the government to Moscow, it was announced here today. Three serious outbreaks of malcon tents and opponents to the provisional government, have been reported from Petrograd this week, German money and German agents being largely .blamed for thanw These,- demonstra tions may be responsible for the cabi net council's consideration of a trans fer of the government's business to Moscow, where the disturbing ele ments would be less likely to inter fere. Predict Relpn of Terror. Stockholm, July 19. Monday's events in Petrograd and the extent of armed disaffection were forecast nearly a month ago by M. Pereveizeff, Russian minister of justice. In an interview with a correspondent of a Stockholm paper, he said: "I am convinced that the Bolshe vik! troops will soon carry their ac tivities to a crisis, compared with which all their previous crimes will have been a mere trifle. When that day comes, and it will come soon, it will be time to make a final reckon ing with this lawless element. We reckon that the Bolshevikis already have two machine gun regiments of desperate men who sleep with weap ons beside their bodies." Propagandists Work Openly. Monday's riots in connection with the resignation of Finance Minister Shingaroff. which is generally con sidered here to indicate a critical financial situation in Russia, caused a drop in the ruble exchange rate of four points to 69. Active Bolshevik! propaganda work Is being conducted here especially among returning Rus sian emigrants by various agents of socialist ijemne a faction including es pecially two women. One of them ac companied Robert Grim, the Socialist internationalist and German agent from Switzerland thru Germany to itussia in May. He was exDelled from Russia, as a result, of efforts on the part of the Germans to conclude a peace with Russia. Palace Defenders Clash. Petrograd, July 19. Owing to re ports of an intended attack on the Tauride palace for thfe purpose of ar resting M. Skobeleff. minister of la bor: M. Tseretelli. minister of nosts and telegraphs and M. Tiehernoff, minister of agriculture, the military authorities sent two light guns thither. wiui-u mei enrouie a macnine gun regiment. Shots were exchanged and some horses were killed. A party of infantry stationed at the Champ de Mars, scene of the military reviews, fired on the Cossacks from Pavlovsk. Presumably the machine gun regi- iiiem was tne anti-government Bol shevlkl troops. Fortify Gov't Offices. Petrograd, Julv 19. The staff buildings and winter palace square are headquarters for the gov ernment forces which are bivouacking there and have posted cannon. The general feeling is that the decisive stage between the forces of order and disorder is rapidly approaching. At a Joint meeting of the workmen's and soldiers', and peasants' councils, a resolution was adopted regarding the ministerial crisis to the effect that the departure of the cadet ministers cannot be made the pretext tor de priving the government of the sup port of the revolutionary democracy. General assembly councils of work men and soldiers and peasants must be convoked within a fortnight to dis cuss the organization to replace the cadet ministers, the resolution de clares. r A. Tseretelli, minister of posts and telegraphs and member of the council of workmen and soldiersa' delegates, said yesterday the general assembly of workmen and soldiers and peasants would be held at Moscow in order to present the interference from an ir responsible section of the Petrograd garrison. FRENCH VICTORY RUDE JOLT FOR CROWN PRINCE Defenses Northwest of Verdun Cleared of Germans. Infantry Surprise Rush Caught Germans Unawares. THRU TO TEUTONS' THIRD LINE Charged While Artillery Bom bardment Still Was Booming. Germans Gain Trenches at St. Quentin but Are Ousted. (By the Associated Press.) French Front in France, July 19. The crown prince's army suffered the rudest shock when the French Wednesday attacked and recaptured all the positions northwest of Verdun. These cost the Germans much hard fighting when they were taken from the French. The affair cost the Ger mans not only the loss of their for mer conquest and about five hundred prisoners but the French cut into their line and repeated counter at tacks by the Germans failed to re cover any part thereof and resulted even in more losses. The Germans, when they advanced at the end of June obtained posses sion of a number of observatories, giving them views of the French lines. The Germans -Cor several days have been expecting the French would try to shell, them out but did not expect an infantry attack. The French were obliged to delay the movement owing to bad weather but continued the heavy bombard', ment, causing the Germans such losses that they were obliged to take the Tenth reserve division which was holding their positions, out of the trenches as some of its companies have been reduced to fifty men each The Twenty-ninth division replaced it, supported by the Forty-eighth division composed of French troops brought from the Russian front; It was while relief was proceeding that the French attacked, thoroly surpris ing the enemy by appearing in their trenches while the bombardment was proceeding. Before the Germans could recover the French were within the third line trenches. The enemy's dis order was so great that the French were able to gather many prisoners and dashed even further forward than they intended and occupied ground on a thousand yard front of what had been French positions before the Ger man attack in June. The French now hold all the ob servatories overlooking the slopes of Lemort Homme and Hill S04. The whole engagement lasted only thirty uuuuim. -i iik nrsi uerman reaction occurred unsuccessfully twelve hours later. Spirited Battle Near St. Quentin. Paris, July 19. The Germans made an attack last night on a front of g meters south of St. Quentin. The war office announced that the enemv gained a rooting in the French first line but was expelled from the greater part of these positions by a counter attack. A German attempt to regain ground captured by the French near Avocourt wood on the Verdun front was de feated. Russ Ijose Captured Fort. Petrograd, July 19. Russian troops captured Novica as a result of a night attack, but due to their hevay losses. withdrew to the eastern end of the village, where two enemy attacks were repulsed, according- to today's official statement. "On Tuesday we captured near No vica three machine guns and 228 pris oners," the statement added. British Recapture Posts. London, July 19. Recapture of British advanced posts east of Monchy le Preux, which Field Marshal Haig's men were forced to leave under Ger man attacks, Wednesday, was an nounced in the official report today. CANT CONTRACT? Senate Attack on Defense Council Pertains to Personal Interest. "Washington, July vi9. Attacks on the national defense council's advis ory commission culminated today in the senate passing an amendment to the food bill, prohibiting agents of the council making contracts between the government and firms in which they are financially interested. -Calls Draft Census Illegal. A resolution declaring that the sec retaries of war and commerce in fix ing the quotas of the states and terri tories on the basis of registration and not on the basis of population have acted illegally and calling upon them to furnish the public with their rea sons for 'so ignoring the express pro visions of the conscription law" was introduced today by Representative McCulioch of Ohio. GERMAN PEACE (Continued from Pr One sought, the law requires the disband ing of the parliament and new elec tions. Presumably the junkerites, who principle, will seek time for consider ation of the matter. May Open New Crisis. London, July 19. The tensity of the German internal situation was in creased, if anything, today according to dispatches here by anxiety as to what policy the new chancellor might indicate in his reicbstag speech this afternoon. There was the direct hint in some German dispatches that if Doctor Michaelis's pronouncement was unsat isfactory or if he temporized in the view of the reichstag coalition ma jority, another crisis might be pre cipitated. In this situation the guesses as to what the new chancellor might have to say covered a wide range of speculation. The reichstag majority holds a very effective weapon as yet the power to withhold approval of the credit bill. If it refuses this bill the government has only two courses open under the constitution one ia to accede to the majority's demands and the other is to prorogue the session. The reichs tag can only be prorogued for thirty days unless its consent is given. World Disarmament. Zf a- longer period of dismissal is managed to oust Hollweg and put in Michaelis, have figured out some other way of avoiding the situation. One guess as to Michaelis's an nouncement today as- received here from Switzerland predicted he would hint at world disarmament and com pulsory arbitration to be suggested shortly by Germany. MILLS HEADSNEW CO. Topeka Officer Captain of New Ar tillery Headquarters Unit. Ma J. Arthur Mills of Topeka has been appointed by Charles I. Martin, adjutant general, as captain of the new Topeka headquarters company of the field artillery regiment. In lieu of the appointment Major Mills re signed as major of the ordnance de partment of the Kansas National Guards to enter active service under commission of a captaincy in the new headquarters company. Until a short time ago Major Mills was a major in the quartermasters' corps. In war time the quartermas ters' corps becomes a part of the state administrative staff. While it is called Into service with other units of the guard organization, there is little chance that it will see a place at the front or will be sent abroad. It was Major Mills's desire to be with an or ganization which seemed certain to go ta the firlne line that led him to leave the ordnance department and become the captain of the new unit. The headquarters company is one of Topeka's numerous new military units. It was organizea several weenu ago as a part of the new regiment of field artillery, provided for under the national guard law of 191. KANSAS IS READY Cont1nqer1 from Tag One pronounced by the Hev.

BY-CLUG- NOT A JOKE TEAM Williert Robinson Stands His Brooklyn Dodgers. by However, Many Believe Xew Talent Is Badly Needed. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, July 19. It is seldom that a championship ball club suffers disintegration within a year after winning a pennant, yet this is what I will happen to the champion Brooklyn Dodpers unless present signs fail com- pletely. Uncle Wilbert Robinson is standing by his club like the good, loyal old soul he is, despite the pannings it has received from all quarters. He ui- sists that the Dodgers are not a joKe ball club, and he predicts that before the present season ends they will JA". A. T, J? A In tha Var nna late o-l 10 I Yet, Tith all of Robby's loyalty. the fact remains that Charles Holiday Ebbets, the portly prexy of these same Dodgers, is collecting a squad of new and younger players. Old Stars Mast Go. The venerable squire of Flatbush, according to the best informed wags, is planning to rehabilitate his ball club before the season of 1918 rolls around. He wants a thoroly rejuven ated team to put on the National league firing line, and it looks now that some of the aged Dodger stars are doomed to feel the impact of the axe at the close of the present season. Ebbets has few if any of his pres ent players signed up for more than the season of 1917. Most of the Dodger contracts will expire with the closing of the present season and only the players who have shown Ebbets that they are capable of playing major league baseball from April till Oc tober will be kept. It is not timely to suggest which of the Dodger players are likely to be dropped, but that four or five of them, at least, must make way for a new crop of players being .groomed by Ebbets and Uncle Hobby seems to be a certainty. Get New Talent. Brooklyn has secured Infielder O'Rourke from the Utica club and ex pects to make a star out of him. Bill Leard, until recently the player manager of the Spokane club, was recently purchased by the Dodgers, and lines are out for others. The younger members of the present Dodger staff have been showing un usual promise, and it appears now that Ebbets has set about to build up a younger ball club. Among players secured within the past year the Dodgers have a number of youngsters, or near youngsters, in Jimmy Smythe. Jimmy Hickmon, Leon Cadore, Bill Russell and Jack Snyder. Smythe is an infielder, Sny der a catcher, Hickman an outfielder and Russell and Cadore are pitchers, the latter an .especially promising hurler, who has shown real major league class.

Much has been accomplished, since the entry of the United States into the war, in the direction of doing our share in the task of overcoming au tocracy. Much more might have been done if it were not for the obstruc tionists. These aids of Germany are met with both in and out of congress. No sooner is a capable man found for carrying on any part of the work in cident to the war, than somebody bobs up end succeeds in checking his ef forts. The most flagrant example of this is seen in" connection with the nation's shipbuilding; program. More, perhaps, than anything else, the na tion needs ships. A man was found, who everybody believes can build them and do it quickly. General Goethals was placed in charge of the job. He has been able to accomplish next to nothing because his every move is being blocked by another man who pursues a dog in the manger policy. Denman won't build ships himself and he won't let anybody else build them. j "If some of the legislators in Wash ington do not soon show more inclina tion to expedite war legislation than they are now displaying tfiey will have only themselves to blame if the people consider applying the recall to members of congress," says the Chris tian Science Monitor. And yet nobody has done more than has the Monitor in encouraging the "bone dry" con tingent to obstruct war legislation. The treasury department is making arrangements for another issue of bond3 before distributing the first loan. Flotation of the new issue might be facilitated if the people could Bee what they already have bough;. Liberty doesn't mean the right of a minority to frustrate the will of the majority or weaken the nation's pow er. This fact should be implanted in the minds of the I. W. W. as it has -been impressed upen Emma Gold man. When the country was at peaee the activities of this class of persons received little attention, but tha situa tion has changed. A resolution has been adopted by the council of national cefense re questing the United States shipping board to construct and sell barges, towboats and incidental marine eauio- ment for use in commercial service on the navigable waters of the country. The request is based upon the present excess of freight to be moved over the amount that the railroads can handle, and the probability that the condition may be further aggravated. Use of the navigable waters in the Interior of the country is a war mea sure that should not cease with the close of hostilities. "A triumph of indecency" is what the morning paper calls the canning of Chief Wilson. 'Tis a sad ease. But consolation may be derived from the fact that many better officials have been made to walk the plank for less cause. Doctor von Bethmann-Hollweg may have faults but he succeeded in hold ing the German nation together. It is doubtful that the new chancellor can do so well. When the crown prince butted in Holtweg seemed to think that it was a "time for dis appearing." One is led to think that the Rus sians could find sufficient fighting at the front without starting anything In Petrograd. When all other forms of obstruc tion to needed legislation fall at Wash ington, there always are LaPollette, Gronna and Stone who can be relied upon to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery. It begins to look as tho the Gar man militarists may encounter an other Verdun at Berlin. It is evident that they are' butting their beads against the sentiment of the masses. 3. Ogden Armour is quoted as say ing that packers "can no more fix the price at which they buy hogs than you the consumer can fix the price at which you buy bacon. The farm er's price is based on the cost of production plus his profit. Whereas the farmer could sell hogs as low as 3 per hundred, pounds in 1878, as low aa SS.le in 1898. as low as S.0 in 1903, and J.7B In 1907, the farmer today demands and receives as much as (18 per hundred." This will make every farmer laugh. A farmer who ever had anything to do with fixing the price at which he sells his hogs, would be in demand on the Chau tauqua circuit. When his hogs are ready for market he must and does sell them for what he can get. TIME THE GREAT FACTOR. Grant the allies time, says the New Republic, andj Germany is done for. Time will defeat or outwit the sub marines; it will reorganize the fighting strength of Russia; it will bring the American millions into the field; it will produce dissensions among Ger many's allies and eventually 'pad to apostasies. And it is becomirg in creasingly' certain that the allies will have the time they need. Russia might have been brought to terms in the late days of the i-utoc-racy or the early days of the repub lic, but hardly now. A German drive at the heart of Russjfe. would only harden the Russian spirit. It was possible, during the spring months, that the submarine campaign would shake the resolution of the allies. But already the submarine has been assimilated to the ordinary sea risks. It represents merely a new percentage of wastage and tare, to be compensat ed by the increased efforts" of which the allied productive mechanism is quite capable. There is no longer any fear any where that England can be starved. Nor is there a belief that submarine operations will seriously interfere with the transport of American troops to Prance. If one of Pershing's troop ships had been lost the Germans might take heart. They all arrived in safe tyand thousands more will get thru the blockade. When Los Angeles, some two years ago, took its own census and proclaim ed the result to be 538,000, probabil ities may have justified doubt, but controverting evidence was not forth coming. "The statement went broad cast and it was largely accepted. Now the census bureau has made a new estimate, based largely on the regis tration for conscription, which gives Los Angeles but 453,627. On the face this indicates that Los Angeler has lost 84,373. Probably she took her census during the tourist season. TIME FOR ACTION. The senate has agreed without dis sent upon taking a final vote on what is known as the Food Control bill or. Saturday. There is no occasion to belittle the difficulty of agreeing upon the many details of a measure having the gen eral purpose of this one. Its main object is clear enough and it is of great importance. It is to encourage the production of the largest supply of food produots and materials, for the sustenance of the people and the support of the nation's efforts in a great war, that is attainable; to have these adjusted in variety and quantity to the existing needs; to have them carefully conserved and distributed with the least loss and at lowest cost, and made to serve their purpose as completely as possible. It is easy enough to understand the object, eaya the New York Jour nal of Commerce, but far from easy to determine just how it may be best at tained. Wide differences of opinion were inevitable and it was necessary to concentrate the actual control and allow a wide discretion in carrying out plans. It was absolutely neces sary 'to have plans formed and sub mitted by those who would hare the task of executing them and the re sponsibility for results. The measure as first devised and recommended, under more or less ex pert advice, had many defects, no doubt; but it is unfortunate that the process could not have been move au thoritative in 'character as the work of a responsible administration. That it was subject to any and every kind of amendment or modification by a committee in each house and by pro miscuous and multitudinous propos als of individual members, revealed in a striking light a serious Jafect in our legislative and administrative methods. "That is the fundamental cause of confusion, conflict and un controllable delays. The measure which originated in the lower house has gone thru many surgical operations and medical treatments until it ia a wonder that it Is still alive and doubtful whether it has undergone any real improve ment. The time has come when it must be put thru In some shape and it should be done as speedily as prac ticable. If possible it should be got into a shape to which a conference of the two houses can readily agree and which a majority of the two houses can accept without further unseemly controversy.. It is time to act. The two chief causes of all the wrangling and obstruction' have been the thrusting into the measure of certain provisions, which are not per tinent to its main purpose, chiefly that for prohibiting or rigidly restrict ing the production of alcoholic bev erages, and the leaving of a wide dis cretion to the execuUve department in the exercise of its authority. As to the latter it is really necessary to the successful working of the plan. The executive power must be trusted and held responsible, and there is no real ground for apprehension that it will not do its utmost for the desired results. There will be every motive for that, "The oher cause of so much contention ought to be eliminated or reduced to the lowest terms attainable. RUBBER TOWN THE TOPEKA STATE JOCKNA1 INFORMATION BCKKAD By Frederic Baskin, Director, Washlaston, D. C. V. Akron, O., July 19. The people of A-kron, wllere tires are made, mod estly claim that this is the most pros perous city in the world; and there is little doubt but that they are right. A city could not be much more prps perous than Akron and still function as a city. For Akron is outgrowing everything it owns. It has outgrown its houses, and men are sleeping in shifts and living in tents in vacant lots, in barns and lofts. It has out grown it3 streets and is sprawling all over the county in a line of suburbs twenty miles long, while the commis sioners strive in vain to extend the paving and keep it in repair aa fast as the town grows. In 1910 there were 69,000 people here and now there are 157,000 in the city limits and a large population that has run over into the surrounding country. For a time Akron outgrew its water supply and some people turned the tap in vain. One of the most important things it has outgrown is its woman supply. Akron ought to apply to a matri monial agency. For men of all races have been pouring into the town by the thousand for several years past, while the immigration of women has been much smaller. There are not as many jobs for women as- for men, and besides, it is very hard for an unat tached woman to find a place to live. The majority of men over women is indicated by the registration figures. Akron registered forty thousand men, and altho the sixth city in Ohio in size, she was third in the number' of men registered. The women that are here like Akron. They admit it is not beautiful, but they say they have a good time. Her most ardent admirers would have to admit that Akron is not beautiful; but she is impressive. There is more smoke, more work and more money here than in any similar area in the United States. Akron is a money town. All sorts of men are gathering wealth here faster than ever before men who work with their hands, men who work with their brains, and men whose money works for them. There are no labor trou bles, there is no outcry against the high cost of living, not much discus sion of the war. Money and rubber are the first concerns of all men. There are people here who bought stock in rubber concerns not so many years ago and were laughed at by all their friends, who are now wealthy. There is a crop of brand-new million aires equal to any produced by "war-bride" town. And the toilers are just as prosperous in proportion. One Italian was discovered to be making thirteen dollars a day by working two shifts. His wife was making a hundred and sixty-nve dol lars a month by renting rooms and taking in boarders. Unskilled labor is making as much as five dollars a day here, and clever men are turned into skilled laborers in a few weeks. It is surely a strange fact that two thirds of all the rubber used in the United States should be manufac tured in Akron, and that one-third of ail the rubber produced in the world should find its way to this Ohio town. From Sumatra and Java and Ceylon most of it comes. Singapore is the market for all that produced in the English colones. The stuff that Akron manufactures travels almost halfway around the world to reach the factories, and some of it travels all the way back to be used. A sup ply of raw materials close at hand certainly was not much of a factor in the growth of Akron as the rubber center of the world. As far as anyone can see it was the fickle goddess Chance who made Akron what she is today. A certain chemist happened to live here who had an idea that rubber could be hard ened, so that it would be useful for a great many purposes which soft rub ber would not serve. The story of how he discovered the vulcanizing process has been told often and va riously, but the romantic version seems to be that his wife wanted him to quit fooling with the stuff and go to work at something remunerative. So he had to perform his experiments on the sly. One day the good wife came home unexpectedly and he chucked the whole mess into the stove, thereby discovering the process which makes tires possible. Soon thereafter a small factory, was estab lished in Akron for the making of rubber surgical appliances. It grew and others grew up around it. The automobiles came along with their in satiable hunger for tires. And Akron grew just as fast as the automobile business. Rubber workers and rub ber experts gathered here; Akron be came the greatest rubber town in the world and all, apparently, because a certain impecunious inventor hap pened to live here and to stand in awe of his spouse. In the early days of Akron nearly all of the rubber was gathered from wild plants in the valley of the Ama zon. It was only about fifteen years ago that seeds of one of the best rub ber plants were taken to Ceylon, and tho cultivation of rubber began. There are now several million acres under cultivation, and with tremendous areas of the tropics still uncultivated, the world's potential rubber supply seems almost inexhaustible. At a time when so many of the materials of in dustry are threatened with depletion, this fact has a large significance. Wood is becoming ecarce and costly, so is leather. Rubber can for some uses take the place of both. Rubber heels have won a place in the world, and now they are manufacturing rub ber soles as well in Akron. It is prob able that in the next few years we will wear more rubber, that rubber will find a multitude of new uses. It is for this reason that Akron is not frightened at the rumor that the automobile has reached its height, and is in for a decline. It is true that the price of gasoline Is soaring, and that word has gone forth that war may make it necessary to regulate the use of all petroleum products by law. -But rubber is finding new uses faster than it can lose old ones. And fur thermore, if he pleasure car has had its greatest day, the working car -the truck- is steadily finding new uses. For example, between this city and Cleveland there is a brick road, which carries almost as .much freight as some railroads. It was recently neces sary to double its width. It is on long procession of trucks. It is said that some Akron concerns deliver as far north as Boston by truck. In small countries the truck is a much readier means of development than a railroad. In Puerto Rico a large part of the sugar crop is moved in trucks, and Santo Domingo wants wagon roads, not railroads. So Akron does not fear a slump in the tire business. At present her tra duction is SO. 000 tires a day, and this is 86 per cent of her total manufac- "I DID NOT RAISE MY BOY TO B8 A SLACKER."

And her production of all these things is growing at an al most incredible rate. Factories here seem unable to gauge their own rate df growth. More than once buildings have been put up and then torn down before they were finished, it be start ed all over again on a larger scale. AH of Akron is in a state of being torn down and started on a larger scale. There will come a time when Akron will be a great wealthy city, finished, organized, perhaps beautiful. At present it is simply a ferment of energy, human and mechanical, bursting all bounds and housings.

C, with 1-cent stamp enclosed for reply. BY NIKSAH Jasper Park. Canada is following the example of the United States in setting aside tracts of her Rocky Mountain region as permanent playgrounds for the people. The latest of these Is Jasper Park, far up in the wild northwest, where the play is still too rough to attract any great horde of urban dwellers, but which is one of the most beautiful bits of mountainscenery in the world. The building of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway had a good deal to do with the setting aside of Jasper Park, for the modern railroad has a business eye to the value of scenery. Even the bitterest enemy of the soulless corporation idea is bound to thank the railroads for this part of their work. In Jasper Park they have fenced off the highest mountain in Canada, an immense tract of virgin forest ana mil country, a miscellaneous assortment of nameless glaciers of various sizes, half a dozen big trout-streams, and numberless little green valleys that look as tho they were laid out by a landscape gardener. That the Park is still difficult of access and calls for pioneering methods in its exploration is only' another recommendation in the eyes of the lover of the out-of-doors. Here also certain important rivers take a humble start in life such prominent streams as the Sas katchewan and the Columbia.. The land looks as untouched and as primitive as Virginia must have appeared to John Smith, but as a mat ter of fact it has a long and romantic history whose record is still te be written. And may the man who writes it wield a skilful pen and may he possess a real imagination, for his subject deserves it. This region lay for centuries on the boundary of the preserves of two great fur companies the Hudson'sBay, and the Great Western. Here they fought battles without number for the trapping rights skirmishes between man and man instead of between millions and millions, but all the more full of dar ing; of strategy, and of adventure for that. And here too was a favorite hunting-ground of those free-lances of the wilderness, the Free Traders, who committed the ultimate sin of bearing allegiance to no company, and many of whom paid for it with their lives. These cold green glaciers have seen a thousand dramas played out years be fore the "explorers" came, for the trappers were" too busy to publish ac counts of what they found. They were after fur. Nevertheless, in Can ada as in the "States" they were the men who really opened the West, and it would not bo unfitting to erect in this National Park some monument to their memory and their achievements. DINNER STORIES A booking agent for a Chautauqua bureau visited a small town in the middle west. He called on a man who said that in order to Introduce a Chautauqua it would be necessary to see the most prominent man of the town. Together they called on the 'first citizen," and the booking agent was introduced. "Mr. Jones," said he, "I called to see you in regard to a Chautauqua." "It won't do a bit of good," spoke up the prominent citiaen. "My wife and I have looked over all the cata logs carefully and have already de cided on another machine." "Well, Rastua, I bear you are working again. What business are you engaged in?" "I'se done be engaged in de mining business, sah." "What kind of mining are you do ing, gold, silver or diamond?" "I'se doing kalsoroining, sah. GLOBE SEOTTS L From the Atchison Globe. A woman doesn't forget aa much as she forgives. Every candidate promises a business-like administration. Every man who works hard says it is better to wear out than rust out. An Atchison woman speaks in li quid tones and her husband in liquor tones. Link Preston is sure of one thing: his wife didn't fall in love with his income. Tho court may hesitate to convict you on circumstantial evidence but people, are different. When one is weltering it doesn't make much difference whether it is the heat or the humidity. Attorneys say free advice is worth what it costs but as a rule they, sell the same kind they give away.. About the only real gifts are to very old people and to children: oth er people are expected to pay back. Ab. Adkins describes one of bis neighbors as one who is apt to have something to say under the head of the Good of the Order. Dorothy Dix Says BY DOSOTHT DIX V World Hi chest Paid Womu Writer 1 How to Keep Love, A correspondent asks these ques tions: ""'Why is love the most perishable commodity in the world? Why do husbands and wives so soon fall out of love. with each other? "When the average couple get mar ried they are almost Idiotically senti mental, yet In a few yearsoften in a few months they seem to cease to care for each other. They are bored, indifferent, antagonistic, fighting like Kilkenney cats instead of billing and cooing like turtle doves as they did on the hinder side of the altar. Yet, so far as the outsider can see, there is no reason for the change in the temperature of their affection. Both husband and wife are just what they were before marriage so far as per sonal charm, goes; both are good, re spectable people anxious to do their duty. "What has killed their affection so soon? And is there any known pre servative in which romantic love may be canned so that it will keep fresh and sweet after the honeymoon?" Certainly, dear correspondent, there is a way to keep love. Put it up in incense. That is a guaranteed recipe that never fails. Would you keep the fires of affec tion forever alight in the breast of husband or wife? Feed the flames continually with words of devotion and adulation. Would you have your own love last as long as life itself? Be sure the voice that murmurs words of praise and affection in your ears will thrill you as long as you have sense to hear. The trouble with most men and women, wtien they realize that they have won another s heart ana nave been married for love, is that they are like a foolish youth who has come into a fortune. They think that tfie wealth of affection that has been be stowed upon them is inexhaustible, and they draw upon it and draw upon it, and waste it with a prodigal hand until by and by they suddenly discover that it is' all used up and gone, and there is no more love left. It has not occurred to them in the days of plenty to hoard their treasure, much less to add to it. Yet it is no more necessary to lay up some money for the proverbial rainy day of one's finances than it is to lay up love against the rainy day of one s physical and mental needs the days when one's youth has waned, and one's charm is lost, and one grows dull and tedious in conversation. Never was there a more mischiev ous idea'than that we all start out In matrimony with a fixed capital of love that cannot be subtracted from or in creased. In nothing can you so easily go broke as in affection, and no stock can be more readily inflated than Heart Preferred. In reality it rests with each of us whether we bull or bear our own particular love market, and whether we become millionaires or bankrupts in affection. Cupid does business largely ?m credit, and it is no trick at all for him to borrow enough romantie capital to start a young couple out in an en gagement. It is only after marriage that the question of how to make up the deficit resulting from the wear and tear of every day life and keep the capital stock at par, becomes a vital matter. The only way it can be done is by ajflding continually to the visible sup ply of love in the firm, and the mar vel is that sp few people do this. No one expects a bridal trouseau to supply one with clothes for a lifetime, or a wedding breakfast to suffice for food for thirty or .forty years, but the great mass of mankind never seem to dream that the vows of devotion they made during the days of courtship are not enough to last to the end of time but need constant daily renewal. A man will tell a woman before he is married to her that she is the most beautiful fascinating, intelligent crea ture on earth, and that he adores her wildly, madly, frantically. And after he is married to her he never men tions the subject of love again or ex presses the slightest admiration for anything she does. In reality he probably thinks just as well of his wife as he did of his sweetheart. Perhaps he admires her more, for the sense of possession gen erally throws a halo around the thing possessed and a man is apt to- esteem his wife superior to other women just because she is his wife, as he thinks his gun, his dog, bis automobile bet ter than those belonging to anybody else. He may appreciate to the fullest every bit of the fineness of her, and be deeply grateful for the sacrifices she makes for him, but he. never bothers to tell her so. After a while, if he is sensitive, he begins to perceive that her love for him has lost some of its freshness and bloom. Later he discovers that it is withered and faded and, maybe, dead, and he wonders at it, and rails at the falseness of women. But he never realizes that the fault is his, and that he killed her beautiful affection by neglect. Love can no more live with out being fed on love and watered by constant assurance of admiration and appreciation, than a rose can bloom In an arid and rainless desert. Nor do women cherish the affection they have won a whit more wisely than men do. When the average woman returns from her bridal tour she lays aside the harp on which she sung her husband's virtues before marriage, and smashes the vessel In which she burned incense at his feet. She expects him to take her love on faith, as he expects her to take his. Then before long she begins to cry out that love is dead, not realizing that she has starved it to death herself. She may think her husband as ro mantic a hero as she did in the days of courtship; she may think every time she looked at his bent shoulders and anxious eyes that the man who spends his life slaving over a desk or behind a counter that his family may live soft and easy, deserves to have the iron cross pinned on his shabby breast. But she is as dumb as a clam about her appreciation and gratitude. All that the man hears is a daily re quest for more money and complaints that they can't have a limousine like the Croesuses, or go to fashionable summer resorts like the Vanasters, or criticisms on his lack of energy in not wanting to go to roof gardens when he comes home at night. There's nothing for love to live on In that sort of a polar domestic atmos phere, and, as a matter of fact, it doesn't. It turns up its little toes to the daisies, and wife, unknowing, offi ciates as both undertaker and mur derer. The reason married coyplea fall out of love so soon is because neither one takes the slightest trouble to try to keep the other one in love, and the remedy for this is simplicity itself. It is merely to keep the incense burner at work. That embalms affection and keeps H eternally fresh and fragrant. Ana it is proof against time and change for, when we think of those dearest to us in the world it is not of those who are most beautiful, or gift ed, or even those who have done the most for us. It is of those who have shown us the most love. (Copyright. 1917. by the Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.! m SPDR Of THE -MOMEHT MOULTOSI. To a Palm Beach Suit In a Clothing Window.

I don't want to cross here. Can't we go around some other way?" "Go around Broadway? Well, if that don't beat anything I ever heard. For goodness sake, don't be so afraid of everything. You look countrified enough without acting it. Come on, you are making a regular show of us." The girl started as if she had been struck, then bravely followed him across the crowded thorofare. But two tear drops crept slowly down her flushed cheeks. A tremor shook her slender form, while her large brown eyes glanced appealingly at her com panion. ily on. not seeing the havoc wrought But Bruce Robertson strode nauttnt- by his cruel words and contemptuous manner. If a passerby had noticed j him, he yould not have called the young man particularly handsome. The weak, chin and high forehead showed genius rather than executive ability. His good-natured face was I spoiled by a selfish curve to the lips. And his black eyes revealed a temper always ready to break forth. 1 Four years before, Bruce had left his home on the farm and had come to a celebrated art school in New York. His teachers had fostered and, improved his -very great talent until now his work had been recognized by prominent critics. At first, the young artist went home often to see -Mary Corbin, his country sweetheart. But the intervals between visits grew longer and longer, until finally he decided he was too busy to go out at all. At last, tired of wait ing, Mary came to spend the day in the city to see if Bruce was well. But she found a far different lover than the one who had left her four years before. Ashamed bf her simple, rus tic ways, Bruce avoided his usual haunts. He acted bored while in her presence. To the girl, it seemed the day would never end, but, finally, they came to the train which was to carry her homey The bell rang for the engine to start. "Bruce, aren't you going to kiss me good-by?" Mary whispered beseech ingly. "What? Right here before people? I hope, the next time, you'll know enough to stay at home and not make a foot of me as you have' today." The words' were not out of his mouth before he regretted them. "Mary did not turn her head quickly enough to hide from him the bitter tears that sprang from her eyes. But Bruce's pride forbade his retracting them, so the train carried away a girl torn with sobs and with an aching void in place of a heart. Several months later, a national art exhibit for undergraduates of art schools waa announced to be held at Washington. Bruce represented his school. For months he worked on a painting that he determined would be his masterpiece. Win the prize he imist and would. It would mean his i rapid rise in the social world. His services would be in universal de mand. The subject he selected was "The Spirit of Freedom." He obtain ed a beautiful model and put forth his best efforts to make a perfect picture. He finished about a week before the exhibit and showed the picture to his teacher. The instructor declared the picture was perfect and assured Bruce the prize was his. Beaming with sat isfaction and pride, Bruce waited for the eventful day. The large art gallery was packed to the doors as the time drew near for the judges' decision. The exhibitors were seated in a large semi-circle on the platform. Some were nervous and self-conscious; some, like Bruco, were smiling and confident. After prelim inary exercises one of the three elder ly men on the front of the platform arose and cleared his throat. "Ladies and gentlemen," he 'oegan, "I assure you it was no easy task to tell the best painting from all those r.ubmitted. We decided that one of two pictures would win. These are The Spirit of Freedom' and 'Dawn.' In 'The Spirit of Freedom' ycu be hold a perfect picture. Not a detail is lacking. It is a triumph of tech nique. "Dawn is far from perfect. But it has one thing the first picture lacks it has a soul. And 'The Spirit of Freedom' without a soul is a farce. Therefore I take great pleasure In bestowing the grain prize on Harold Lock wood, of Kansas." As the applause died away a freckled-faced young man arose and bowed while the Judge handed him the check given as prise. With bit terness in his heart Bruce rose and left the hall. Day after day found the defeated artist in his studio, working to paint a new masterpiece. But he lacked ideas. He started dozens which he never finished. One day he went to see an old painter that he knew had been a genius in his day and asked his advice. "My boy," he quavered, "there Is one thing you lack, ana tnat is breaatn of outlook. You are too cramped and your pictures bsow it. Get out in the world and you can become the Great est painter in the country." So Bruce began to travel from city to city. But still he had a dearth of ideas. And a new feeling began to rreep over him a feeling of loneli ness. He realized that he had not a real friend in the world. He nadn't heard from Mary since her visit to the city. As he sat idly before his easel one day the clang of fire engines aroused Bruce to action. He dashed down the street arid found a large tenement in flames. The firemen had lose hope ef saving it and were giving thf-Ir at tention to the surrounding buildings. While Bruce was watching the blaze he turned to a man near by and ex claimed: "Do you see that shuttered window on the top story? I raw something move there just now. I be lieve some one is there. They can't 1'Ut up a ladder because of the names' below. I'm going up there." Before the other recovered from his surprise. Bruce ran toward the door of the doomed dwelling. To tho offi cer who opposed his way he gave a well-aimed blow and sprang Into the house. Up the burning stairs he sped until he reached the top, then he opened a door on his right. Lying en a bed was the wasted form of a girl. Bruce seized her and retraced his stepa Thru fire and smoke he went until, at last, he staggered out the door, and fell into the arms of the firemen. The next day by Inquiring Bruce found that the girl he had saved was In a hospital. Being naturally inter ested In her, he determined to pay her a visit. As he approached the bed on which the sick girl lay, Bruce gasped, then fell on his knees beside her. "Mary, bow did you come to be here "I left borne over a year aeo. I thought that if I became citified you might like me again," she murmured. "Like yon? Mary, sweetheart, I love you. Z have all the time and didn't know it.

Bedtime Stories BY BOWA.ID St. OAM "Uncle Wiggily and tho Red lrd. "Well, this is something rather new, isn't it, going out in your auto mobile?" asked Nurse Jane Fussy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeeper of Uncle Wlggily Longears, the rabbit gentleman, as she saw him start out from his hollow stump bungalow one m o miner. "Yes, I haven't ridden In the car for some time," said Mr. Longears. twinkling his pink nose friendly like. "You see since the price of bologna sausage got so high I couldn't afford to use it for tires on the wheels. So I haven't ridden in the auto for over a month." "But what have you for tires now?" asked Nurse Jane. "Some toy circus balloons X bought at the fair," the bunny gentleman an swered. "They're not as strong aa the bologna sausages, and they burst more easily. But Jackie or Peetie Bow Wow, .the little puppy dogs, will not bite them when they are hungry, as they used to do to my sausage tires, and I won't have to sprinkle pepper on them to make them go faster." "Sprinkle pepper on Jackie and Peetie?" asked Miss Fuzzy Wussy. "No!" laughed Uncle Wlggily. "I used to sprinkle pepper on the sau sage tires, you remember. Now, on the toy circus balloon ones, I sprinkle' pink popcorn, as they're used to that at ,fairs nd circuses. But here I go to look for an adventure." So saying. Uncle Wiggily started off in his automobile, arfver the fields and thru the woods rode the bunny rabbit gentleman, end he' was won dering what would happen to him. when, all of a sudden he saw some thing red flashing thru the bushes. "I won" r if that is a red danger light behii. some other automobile?" thought Uncle Wiggily. "But, it couldn't be a red light for that would only show at night and it is not yet dark." Then the rabbit gentleman saw that the red thing was a red bird flying thru the woods. The bird's feathers were a bright scarlet, and most beau tiful. Uncle Wiggily could not stop looking at it. "You are a beautiful bird," said the bunny rabbit gentleman. "I like your colors very much. It Is something like my pink, twinkling nose, only brighter. s "Thank you." said the bird. "But you did not happen to see another one like me, did you?" "No," answered Uncle Wiggily. "Why?" "Because I have lost a friend of min since coming to these woods. Am i er red bird like myself was with me." "Do you mean your wife?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "No. My wife's feathers are not nearly so bright as mine, tho I dearly love her In spite of that. Her color is ont red, tho it is pretty. The bird I mean is a gentleman friend, and he and I were flying around together while our wives are warming the eggs so the little birds will hatch out. But 1 have lost him." "Then come and ride in my auto mobile," invited Uncle Wiggily, "and we will look for him. A bird, colored as you are, is easily seen, and you must be tired flying." The red bird said he was, but he soon became rested when he rode with Uncle Wiggily, and together they looked for the missing one. They 1 soon found him singing in a mulberry tree, and the two friends flew off to gether after thanking the bunny. As for Uncle Wiggily he rode on and on, looking on both sides for the road for an adventure, but he could not seem to And any. He was about to turn around and go back when he saw a railroad track just ahead of him. "I'll ride across that and see what's on the other side," he said. "Maybe there'll be an adventure." There was, but not Just the kind Uncle Wiggily wanted. For no soon er was he on the middle of the rail road track crossing than "Bank! Hiss!" his toy balloon tires burst; his auto wheels became stuck in the rails, and Uncle Wiggily himself was thrust so tightly against the steering wheel of his auto that he could not get out. "Oh, my! This is terrible!" cried the bunny uncle. "I can't get loose and I can't start my machine! Oh, what will happen to me?" He was very soon to find out. All of a sudden there was a tootinar and a whistling, a snorting; a puffing v7 j L7. j S?m'"f UJ Vt,J,JL 1 of cars and a pufilne- engine. "Oh, I must get out of the way) I must get out of the way or I'll be run over!" cried the bunny. But he couldn't get out of the automobile, for he was held fast, and he couldnt get the car to go off the railroad track because the balloon tires had burst and the wheels were tightly caught. "Oh, if I only had something to stop the train! How do you stop railroad trains from running over you when you are stuck on tho track?" cried the bunny. "By waving something red like a danger flag at them," answered av voice. "Then they stop." "But I have nothing red to wave, not even a red flannel shirt, for I don't wear them in summer," sadly said the bunny, "and my nose ia only pink." "We'll wave our red wings at the engineer, and he will know there is danger and stop In time,'.' cried the two red birds. And they did, flutter ing their wingstat the engineer. Then he stopped the train just in time arid helped Uncle Wlggily push the auto mobile off the track. And everybody said the blrds'were brave as well as beautiful. Their name is Scarlet Tanager, and if ever you sea one you'll never forget it. So every thing came out all right, you'll notice, and the red danger birds flew safely back to their wives, and Uncle Wig gily rede on to his bungalow. And the next story will be about the bunny gentleman and the oriole-bird that is, if the barn door doesn't try to get in the house and go to sleep In the cat's cradle.

JU question Is not 'who shall go first?' but 'who shall be first called up for examination?' and what we must do is to make a list showing the order of i-xamination. "Now no one knows how many men must be examined to yield 87,000 sol diets. Therefore, no one can. say just how many men it is absolutely neces sary to put on this list. "A moment's reflection will prove that the whole 10,000,000 must be given their places on the list of 'or- oer of examination examination. There are 4,557 of these groups. For each group a board has been appointed to examine for selec tion. By far the greater number of these groups consist of approximately 3,000 men. "Since this is so, our problem is not to put the whole 10,000,000 names in one list arranged in the order of ex amination. If is to determine the or- der of examination in each group be possible to have 4.557 'separate drawings one for each group but since methods would vary and since supervision and absolute insurance against the charge of fraudulent manipulation could not be had in that way, every consideration of expedi ency and justice urges on drawing in Washington. The Method for the Drawing. "In each group, every registration card has a red inked number written on its face and these numbers run in a single Beries from unity (1) to the number corresponding to the greatest t number of cards in the group. Nor mally this is from unity (1) to about 8,000. "Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attested and sent to the various state capitals. Lists show ing the name of each man in each group and the serial number of hi? card have been posted in the office of the board, published in the press, and one copy is on file in Washington. There is, therefore, no chance of any man's number being changed without detection, or of any card being lost beyond replacement. The Idea of the Central Drawing. "Suppose there were just 3,000 names and numbers in every group. It is at once apparent that it would be a very simple thing to have a cen tral drawing that would control the order of every name and number in every group of the whole 10,000,000 just put 3,000 numbess into a bowl and draw them out one at a time. Thu first number drawn out would place the 4,657 cards bearing that particu lar number at the head ef every list in the United States. The secend num ber drawn would put the cards bear ing that number second on all the lists and so forth. "Now the thing cannot be done in precisely this way, because there are not precisely 3,000 numbers in every group. But the same idea with a few necessary modifications is the idea on which the present drawing is based. The Drawing by Thousands. "To draw 10,000 separate numbers j wouia take ten hours and would-mul-tiply the chance of error. Moreover, if the "9-thousands," the "8-thou-sands," the "7-thousands" and the "6-thousands" were scattered all over the master list indiscriminately the cancellation by boards having small groups would be very tedious and would open the way to numerous er rors. All this is easily avoided. "Suppose we drew only 1,000 num bers. We could then provide that the drawing of the number 878 would also draw the numbers 1,878, 2,878, 3,878, 4.878, 5,878, 6,878, 7,878. 8,578 and 9,878.

"We could do this, but for the fact that this makes it certain that men in the first thousand would be called first, men in the second thousand next, and men with high serial num bers last of all. "Since the assignment ot numbers is also done by chance, this does not interfere very greatly with the even chance of all men, but it does inter fere to some extent. For this reason it was decided to have one drawing to determine the order within any group of 1,000 and another drawing to determine the order in which the sheets or 1,0 0 0 each should appear on the master list, instead of arbitrar ily assigning the sheets of 1,000 in their natural order. Tnis reduces the whole matter to an absolute equality of chance. The Details of the Drawing. ,1 "One group of numbers, from 1 to 1,000, and a second group, from naught to 9, have been carefully im printed on opaque slips of paper, black on one side, counted and check ed. These slips have been rolled up and each put inside a gelatine capsule with the black side out. To insure absolute accuracy of count, the cap sules containing numbers from 1 to 1,000 have been counted into ten glass jars in groups of 100 each: the glass jars have been sealed and kept in a safe, awaiting the day of drawing. "The contents of the jars will be decanted into a large glass receptacle from which the. capsules can be read ily drawn. "A blindfolded man will tlr the capsules in the receptacle thorely be fore any are. drawn, and will keep stirring them during the drawing. "A blindfolded man will then draw capsules out one at a time. A3 each capsule is drawn it will be handed to an announcer, who will break the cap. sule and announce the number drawn. While he is announcing the number, a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second announcer, who will break the capsule and read the number. The drawing will proceed in this way until all the capsules are drawn. "Three tally sheets will be kent One keeper of a tally sheet will re Pat each number as it is announced and all three will write it down. In case of disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control. "Immediately before the drawing of the number from 1 to 1,000, the dra -ing of the number from 0 to 9 will take place to determine the order in which the thousands shall appear on the master lists."

I No Waste to THE DELICIOUS SOLID MEAT OF WHEAT AND MALTED BARLEY CASH-THAT'S ALL If You Hare It, You Can Buy Food in Berlin. And Everybody Is Spending It for Eatables. EGGS AT 25 CENTS EACH Pork Boast Cost a Correspond ent Only $18. Wealthy People Hare Food Hidden Away Now. BY KARL VON WIEGAND. Copenhagen, July 19. Moneys enough money will accomplish won ders even in the severely rationed Germany. And if there is one thing that is plentiful in Germany today it is money. "Money and connections' enables a person to eat better than his neigh bor. And despite the severe prosecu tion by the authorities, the profits of "contraband trade" in certain articles of food are so great that at no time during the war has this trade been greater in Berlin than during Ger many's "leanest weeks -this spring. With even unskilled labor getting 50 cents an hour, with every member of the family who wants to work work ins:, evervbodv has money and is will ing to spend It for food. It takes time to make "connections and to "get on to the ropes" in the matter of getting more than your snare or xooa. During May about 70,000 pounds of butter and lard disappeared in .Ber lin. I think I got some of it. In stead of two little marbles of butter once a week in the Adlon. I had but ler every day and plenty of it. It costs, however, $2.60 a pound and then went up to 13. It was an appe tizing addition to the breakfast i f the dry bread and the stuff christened "coffee.' One lady whom I know bought fifty pounds of butter at one time for which she paid $125. The Fame lady obtained 200 pounds of fair ly white tlour at o& cents a pouna, while others I knew had paid as high as 85 cents a pound. Eggs at 25 Cents Each. "Contraband" eggs were to be had, if you knew how to get them, at 15 to 25 cents each. Sugar, beyond the amount the government proposed you should have, could be obtained now and then at $3 a pound. A little cof fee was at times forthcoming at $5 and" tea t $7. "Contraband meat was also to be had, but that was still more difficult. Just before I left I was invited to dinner at the home of an opera song bird. 'The center piece on the table was a nice pork roast for the four of us. It cost $18. There was also some real tea and real cof fee and butter. Up to the time I left, Jaques Mayer of New York was still giving his generous Sunday night din ners to about thirty Americans, the cost of which could not have been less than S6 to $8 for each plate. Hausfraus, however, are not the only "foragers.' Many of the guests at tne Action ana otner private note is, have "private pantries" of tea, butter, eggs and sugar in their rooms. Some also have hams, bolognas and sau sages and even sides of bacon in these private pantries." A generous tip to the chef and an occasional slice of bacon or ham to the floor waiter, al ways assures the unostenstatious prep aration of these highly prized "addi tions" to the regular breakfast, two dollar luncheon or two dollars and a half four course dinner. It is not un usual in the dining room or in a res taurant to see- persons take from their pockets a small round nickel box con taining butter for the day, possibly. a long one with a few lumps of sugar. They Search Houses. A year ago many Germans who are now "hamster as this illegal obtain ing of food is called, would have con side red it highly unpatriotic to take more food than the ration cards call for, but the duration of the war has tended to destroy much of that un selfish sentiment. There has been much searching of houses, and num ber or times sides of bacon, hams, bolognas and other articles of food have been found under mattresses and even between fine quilts in beds. it was tne general belief among the working classes or "east Berlin" and north Berlin as the old sections' of the kaiser's capital are known, that houses in the fashionable west had pantries full of foodstuffs, which led to the fear during the strike In the middle of April, that the "west" might oe stormed. Generally speaking I found that the food situation in the country and in the provinces was very much bet ter than in Berlin and some of the other large cities. It was also better in Bavaria than in north Germany. I have seen numerous letters from people in small villages saying that they were getting along very well ana were not suitering. SPYIN CONFESSION Socialist Leader for Separate Peace Agent of German Staff. Petrograd, July 19.- A letter from General Brusiloff's chief of staff states that Nikolai Lenine, the radical So cialist leader, is an agent of the Ger men general staff. The evidence was traced thru the confession of Lieutenant Ermolenko that he was sent to the front with the Sixth Russian army to make a propa ganda .n favor of early peace with Germany. Lenine's task was to com promise the provisional favorite in the eyes of the people by every pos sible means. Funds were sent thru the intermediary of an em play e of the German legation at Stockholm. The alleged chief German agent in Russia is Maxsla Koslovsky, to whose account, it is stated, 2,000,000 rubles are now standing.

Evans, his counsel, the prisoner made a clean breast of the entire af fair. Jail Warden Knee also heard the confession.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTHURSDAY EVENING. JULY 19, 1917- SUES FOR $15,000 LeaYeiworth Police Judge Asks for Big Damages. Claims Leavenworth Post Li beled and Maligned Him. ALBERT T. RE10 A PARTY Topekan Included as President of Publishing Company. Trouble Arose Over a egr Case in Court. The PoFt Publishing company, Al bert T. Held, Topeka, president, and "Wallace P. Hovey, secretary and treas urer, publishers of the Leavenworth Post, were made defendants today in a suit for $15,00 actual and punitive damages filed in the Shawnee county district court by Paul C. Mails, police judge in Leavenworth. Mails charges the defendants printed a libelous ftory about him in the Leavenworth Post, and attached to the petition is what Walls claims is a copy of the article. Mails was appointed police judse of Leavenworth April 10, this year, and has continued to hold the posi tion since that time. He cites that on June 10 the defendants printed the articles which he describes in the pe tition as "malicious and defamatory." According to the copy of the al IrRed article attached to the suit. Mails sued the Post Publishing com pany for $400 bond which the de fendants put up for a negro, arrested for having trouble with his mother- in-law. Afterwards the Post is al leged to have printed a story, the headlines of which read: -Kangaroo judge is dragged from behind his mask Boy whose knowledge of law was gained while he acted as Public Stenographer, suf fers expansion of head with new Job Knows Fine Points Reputa tion as exponent of art with cards cannot be questioned, according to declaration of fellow players Now stands as enemy to law violators." Mails's Asscrlloim. Mails asserts the article did and still tends to provoke him to wrath and exposed him to public hatred and contempt and ridicule. He declares it will deprive him of earnings and income and deprived him of public confidence and social Intercourse. He auks $1 0,000 actual damages and $5,1)00 punltfve damages. Ilefnre his appointment as police Judge Mails was private secretary to J. K. Cod ding, while Codding was special at torney general in Leavenworth. Article In Post. The copy of the article which Mails attaches to his petition and claims was printed in the Leavenworth Post follows: '"The police Judge of this city, whose head has become suddenly swollen ns to require the sign explosive a nice young fellow, to file Miitf :ig;tinst the editor of the l'ost in the district court for the recovery of $4O".0 bond f ene Henry Miller, col ored, arrested on the charge of disturbing the fence of his mother-in-law; is uppmreit to have giveu and forfeited. "This case fnun its inception," was a frame-tip. Miller did have a little conflab with his niother-ln-law Just as many of the white brethren have, but no blows were exchanged and no harsh wnnls spoken. Vnder orders from the mayor, the police man on the beat arrested Miller and the police Judge wrote on the warrant $400 tu nit bond must be given. Now the editor of the post Is angered at the contemptible littleness of the umonnt $400 after having just shook off a fJ.'MKHt suit. Miller Was Released. "Miller was released nnd appeared the day the bond siwitiejl. He faced the jmlge but no one appeared a gain at htm. His cast was dismissed ant) Miller left the court room. Later, nifl granmuorner, Min nie Thompson, aged 111 years, died down I south. Miller left for the funeral. When be returned, he was surprised to learn of the fact that the case had been continued, under cover nnd that Ids' aged relative was forced to appear court, by a sub poena later. "No attention was paid to the Kangaroo court and when the case Is culled In the illHtrlet court. Henry Miller will show that he is an honest colored mau and that lie did not jump his bond. lt is wonderful how the new police Judge, workiug under orders from the mayor, fined colored fieople extremely heavy if they were not right in the last election. The police stnttone.l In the north end of town, permit favorites to solicit for immoral purposes on the car line but prosecute honest, intelligent color ed people. "Now if the police Judge wants the pub lic to know five men with whom he gambled almost incessantly played poker just before he was appointed police Judge even while he was trusted by the church people In their campaign. The Post has their affidavits anil will print them one e day, beginning Monuay until that hypo critical city official calls for mercy. No Malice Intended. 'The Post has nothing, personally ngalust the police Judge, lie has gone out of his way to pick a quarrel with this newspaper when It was friendly to him. He has a mean disposition it ml is not totally sane. In other words, the police lodge phiys for sympathy but, like many who openly beat their breasts in loud nnd open prayer. Is u hypocrite of the worst kind and does not have the proper judgment to be trusted with the position he now holds. if the judge could let ill her peaceful people aot and not play them for 'suckers' sil the time, he might iro on nil his life, happily finding the gen eral public. Rut his meddlesome, mean. iiinrrelsome disposition does not allow him to pass any peaceful citizen without prod ding him cruelly." BEE ADAMS IN AGAIN Notorious cto Bootlegger Churgrd With a relony by Sheriff. Bee" Adams is In again. A few days ago Johanna Adams, Bee's wife, went to Kansas City. The sheriffs office found it out and this morning a trunk, shipped as baggage and billed to Johanna, arrived at the Bock Island depot. An expressman appeared and showed a baggage check for the trunk, he declared Jo hanna has mailed to him. Johanna didn't come horn herself. Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and O. W. Carlson, deputy sheriff, were in eye shot of the depot when the express man obtained the trunk and followed him. He drove in the general direc tion of the three bridges and shortly "Bee came out of a nous- and jumped in the wagon. The sheriff waited until the wagon had nearly reached the three bridges before stopping it.. It was stopped, however, and inside the trunk was found sev eral quarts of whisky. The expressman said he didn't know what the trunk contained and was released. "Bee" told the same story but Larimer refused to take his word for it and jailed him. A warrant charging Adams with a felony has beert issued in the ourt of Topeka. Johanna hasn't rnme home yet. SENATE FOR HOOVER Turns Down Board Idea for Food Con trol Limit Scope of Bill. Washington.

HE'LL TAKE ACTION Governor To Act In Pottawato mie Sheriff Matter. 3Iay Issue an Order Friday Ousting C. D. Ladner. Governor Capper will doubtless issue an order Friday removing Sheriff C. D. Ladner of Pottawatomie county fron the draft exemption board. For mal charges looking to Ladner's re moval as sheriff of Pottawatomie county are also threatened. In many localities in Pottawatomie county petitions are being circulated today asking the governor to remove Ladner from the exemption board. No official action will be taken until the petitions are presented to the governor Friday. In state house circles it is generally conceded that Ladner will be removed from the board. In fact the governor has already Indicated that Ladner will go. The cau?e for his removal is directly due to an utterance in a letter to Col. J. D Nor ton, disbursing agent for the governor. In an insistent demand for his fees as a member of the registration board, Ladner declared he "didn't owe the government a cent." Citizens Indignant. Residents of Pottawatomie county are indignant over the unpatriotic ut terances of Ladner. Today reports in dicated that a demand. would be made for the sheriff's removal from office. He can be removed from office only for cause and that cause must state a dereliction of duty. The utterance in Ladner's letter to Col. Norton, while sufficient to justify his removal from the exemption board, is not in itseif sufficient ground for his removal as snerifr or the county. Keports sent to Governor Capper today, however, indicated that formal charges would be filed against Ladner by residents of Pottawatomie and Riley counties. They allege that Ladner has winked at law violation and has violated his oath of office. One complaint received by Gover nor Capper today stated that Ladner as sheriff permitted a carnival com pany to advertise and stage -two prize fights n the county. One of the fights was a knockout, it is declared. Ladner is alleged to have had per sonal1 knowledge ef the-. plan of the -earntoal company -and to have made np effort to stop the fights lights Are Illegal. Prize fighting in Kansas Is in vio lation of the general statutes and a sheriff who winks at prize fights is subject to removal from office. So far as the letter of the law is con cerned, there is no difference between winking at prize fighting and winking at the greatest of Kansas offenses, the sale of intoxicating liquor. Ladner is a Republican. He is serv ing his first term as sheriff. On two former occasions he was defeated for election. Now the county is said to he clamoring for the sheriffs scalp and a number of prominent business men in the county threaten to follow the petitions for Ladner's removal from the exemption board with a de mand that he be out; ted from office.

The governmental recognition of the rank and the probable enlistment of many 01 its memDers inspired the program. fill :t.'Hv before the Middle Ages, women put their possessions in some kind of oag, usually richly ornamented with handi-. work, and secured it to the waist by a sturdy fastener of some kind or let it hang from an ornamental belt. There were more robbers in those days han-theey and it te quite"prob" able that a bag that swung away from the figure as a woman walked, could be as easilyy snatched as the modern bag that swings temptingly up and down the main" thorofares of every city, from the wrist of every woman. The women of those days, however, did not walk abroad in the crowds, and they did not carry the jewels and coins, I will venture to say, that the mod ern woman piles recklessly into her handbag. The Bag Matches the Hat. France and America are united in the effort to make a woman carry a bag that matches her hat, or the muf fler about her neck. She is told that the handbag must not be an isolated part of her costume; H should be re flected thru another garment. If the bag matches the hat, so much the bet ter, say the milliners. The sketch shows a motor costume in which the advice to match up the bag and the hat is carried out in an agreeable way. x The large bag is of a size that per mits of much stu fling, and rest as sured that no woman goes about with it empty, even if she only walks for two blocks. It and the cap are of gold colored silk, with a black line running" over the surface to form a formal check. The top. of the bag and the tant- arouna the hat are made of leaf green suede. The touch of black is given to the hat by the fa-ntastic feathers, and it is given to the bag thru the medium of long vel vet ribbons that are attached to the flat, dull gold top which frames in the material The tassel is of gold threads. No matter how uncomfortable the UTtRtiffened, medieval handbag may be jto women, it is the fashion to use it, and 'o we buy it in every color that the dyers can arrange. Fashioi has ceased to look, with any degree of interest upon bags made in Roman stripes. The newer idea is to utilize bits of colored suede. along with Scotch plaids. Not lna moment r of pleasure, bat in a moment of sadness, the Paris de signers turned their attention to friv olous things. .They kept their hands busy andtheir shops open-by making fantastic' ornaments, bits :-of rare needlework and extraordinary bags that reflected all the epochs, through which, women have found it necessary to dangle something from the hand, France did not have leather for bags, so she used up bits of cloth. pieces of brocade, splashes of rare embroidery, colorful tassels and gay streamers. By all of this work, she put the handbag on the highest pin nacle of fashion which it has yet oc cupied. Motor hat and bag of leaf green suede and gold colored silk with a black cheek. The hat is trimmed with buckle and loops of gold silk. The Hit'ory of the Handbag. It is difficult for the student of the history of dress to find out just when women began to carry ornamental bags springing from the waist. Today our women swing them from the wrist. but this is a careless habit belonging to a day of extravagance and waste fulness. In the centuries that came Most brushes with handles are dried best when supplied with a loop of string at the end. Then they can be hung in the sun where the- bristles will dry without being bent. A scrub brush should never be dnert on its back. In fact, no brush should be dried in this way. For then the water and moisture on the bristles drips down into the back and eventu- 1 ally loosens the moorings of the bristles. Such brushes should be dried on their side or with bristles down. The only trouble with drying them bristle-side down is that this may bend the bristles in a light brush. Often hair brushes and clothes brushes are made with an ornamental back that ought not to be placed in the ammonia solution. In this case :the brush should be lowered carefully "i-v cue aj i n uui anu iiicii i aiacu. ill the same way it should be rinsed and then carefully dried before allowing the bristles to dry. It should be dried on its side. It is always a good idea to leave hair brushes in the sun some time after drying. In fact, a sun bath is good for a hair brush frequently be tween washings. Few persons realize that tooth brushes ought to be washed. But they should. They should b"? dipped into a solution of ammonia and water, rubbed between the fingers and then rinse in warm water and dried in the sun. BY DAXIEL DIUjON. Permanent Ameriean "Training Camp in France, July 19 Passed by the censor. "Sammy" is taking to the French system of billeting with a smile. He enjoys to the utmost the j tinge of domesticity, which it gives to I his life. The French civilians with whom the American soldiers are quartered, are I more than pleased with' their guests j liberality their sunny disposition and their readiness to lend a helping hand in every household task. The "Sam mies' are trying to introduce Ameri can ways of living. They frown in a good natured way upon the paucity of water and protest in a friendly spirit against the French system of sleeping with the windows closed. The French in turn, insist upon giv ing their guests every possible atten tion. They insist on the Sammies us ing the best rooms in the house and look after all the little needs of their guests with a touching thoughtfulness. Teach Sammies French. The attentive hosts are constantly busy trying to find something to do to please the "Sammies." They are particularly anxious that their guests should be always spick and span, so they continually ask if there aren't some clothes to brush or buttons to be sewed on. They are also doing their best to teach their guests the fundamentals of the French language. Those of the American soldiers who were at the Mexican border are mix ing their Knglish with smatterings of Spanish, which provokes much laugh ter among he French listeners. The troops have their own eating messes and often bring home to their French admirers some choice bits. They turn in early at night and are up early in the morning. Before they leave for breakfast they are served with a cup of coffee by their hosts. Men Feel IdolatedL To'some extent the men feel slight ly isolated. They wonder whether their families back in the United States know where they are and what they are doing. They are eager for news from America and anxious to get word back-home: The troops are in splendid "health and in fine spirits. They are eager to get into action. Food' is apparently nlpntiful here. The French officers are confident of victory now that America is active ly in the war. RADIO CO. NEEDS CASH i Big Dance Will Be Given at Kellahi Hall Friday. THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by Anne Kitten bouse. Preserve the Brush. At all times good brushes are ex pensive just at present many of them are prohibitive in price. They are al ways worth taking care of." To begin with,1: all .brushes- ought to be kept clean and a brush 'that can not .with usual precautions stand up under thoro .cleaning is not worth any price. Lambswool wall and ceiling brushes are not worth a small frac tion of their initial cost, for the sim ple reason that when washed they shrink past' all resemblance of their original shape. Needless to say, "such a brush is not cleanly, in spite of the fact that many a housewife longs to own lambswool brushes. Perhaps it is simply because they are so fluffy and attractive- when they are new. Better far is a broom covered with a clean outing flannel cover. That, at least, can be kept perfectly clean. Brushes ought not to be cleaned with very hot water,' however, and they ought not to be cleaned .with soapsuds. Such a treatment renders them soft and makes the bristles yel low. The best way to clean any sort of brush is to dip it in a solution of ammonia and water. Rub the bristles across the hand in this solution or rub two brushes against each other and the dirt will soon be freed. Rinse in lukewarm water and dry quickly without placing the brush near a fire. GUESTS OF TOPEKA Kansas Oity Capitalists Kntertained by Santa Fe Officials Today. Fdurteen Kansas City capitalists and business men, mostly bankers and brokers, are in Topeka this afternoon as the guests of Santa Fe and other railroad officials and bankers here. The Kansas Citians arrived at 1 o'clock. They were immediately tak en to the Country club for luncheon. Ciolf, the afternoon entertainment, will be followed by a 6 o'clock dinner. The visit is an arinual affair, inau gurated by K. L. Copeland, treasurer of the Santa Fe railway, the Topeka and Kansas City bankers and busi ness men making an interchange of social and harmony visits every year. The Topeka delegation was entertain ed in Kansas City about three weeks ago. v The Kansas Citians who are in Topeka include: Mr. E. F. Swinney, president First National bank; Mr. J. F. Downing, president New England National bank; Mr. J. V. Perry, president JSouthwest National Bank of Commerce; Mr. George S. Hovey, president Inter-State National bank; Mr. F. P.

Prescott, president of firm of Snyder Prescott, brokers;--C, li"riilav evening at Kellam hall the Radio company will give its big bene fit dance, by which they hope to raise the money for the "company fund," a necessary adjunct to each military unit these days. The Radio men explain the need for a- company fund in their particular case, in this wise; it seems that the government allows 30 cents a day for grub for each man. The Radio com pany's mess'sergeant In common with all new mess sergeants, being inex perienced at the game, does not know how, on so small a sum, to properly feed so many men. Presto! If the company does not have a fund the men will have to starve while their mess sergeant is learning his business. In all probability Company A of the Signal Corps will be the most thoroly prepared body of men that has yet left or soon will leave Topeka, for military training. Of the 75 men in the company, 14 are expert wire less operators, 36 are non-commissioned officers, 30 are first class pri vates, and only six are privates. Capt. Klmer Stahl. the superintend ent of the electric light plant, is an electrical engineer with experience and a thoro technical training. He is one of the famous old Aggie football stars. First Lieut. William C. Cars well has had six years experience as an expert wireless operator in the service of the United States govern ment. He served in the Philippines for several years. Chester Thomas, junior lieutenant, lias had a year and a half at military school. The Radio company each night studies its work at the high school, where a wireless outfit with electrical equipment is available. Tne men are becoming thoroly conversant "With their future duties. Monday and JT ri day nights are devoted to drill. When the men entrain for Fort Riley -August they will require but a very short period of training to fully equip them for actual work in the field.' To the present they have re ceived only their uniforms, but when they are ready for the field they will be one of the most technically effi cient of Topeka's military organiza tions.

Wheeler left tnu first of the week with Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Dillon on an eastern and northern trip They went first to St. Louie, Mo., and are tu kins the boat trip from there to St. Paul, Minn. I'Vom St, Paul they will go to Daven port, Jowa, and later to Chicago, where they will be at the Congress hotel for some time before their re turn to Topeka. Mrs. David W. Mulvane, state chair man of the "Woman's committee uf the council of defense, Kansas branch), has received a letter from Ida Tar bell, written from Washington, in quiring about the plan of organization of the women of this state, and also regarding publicity arrangements. The arrangements for the mobilizing of the feminine forces for service and conservation, that have been pre pared by this committee, thru its chairman, are attracting a good deal of favorable notice elsewhere. The Woman's Rota club had a pic nic party Wednesday night at Kdge wood Park. The supner was furnished from the Rota Club Kxchange, which is the project of the Civic committee of the club. A meeting of the club will be held tonight at 7:45 with Mrs. Adrian Greene, to perfect plans for the street dance which the club will give in the early part of "August. Mrs, Greene and her daughter are occupying the W. A. Johnston home, 1900 West Si,xth avenue, during the absence of Justice and Mrs. Johnston. Guess who's back after an absence of several years? It's Jerry Johnston, only he is now Captain Johnston in stead of plain Mr. Jerome Johnston. He has been appointed captain in the ordnance section of the reserves, and will be at Fort Riley at the camp. He came to Topeka from Anaconda, Mon tana, where he was connected with the Anaconda Lumber company, as telephone engineer. He will be about town for a while, and will visit his sister, Mrs. R. F. Hayden. The proceeds from the military ball to be given Friday night at Kellam hall, will be given to the company fund of Radio Company A, Signal Corps. The corps is at present in To peka, but expects to be called away soon. The party will be an event of much interest in the week's calendar of asocial affairs. Whadaya think, girls, a group of Kansas City women are wearing kniqkers instead of skirts for golf cos tumes. Three of the women at the Hillerest Country club have already adopted the new style of golf outfit, and twenty more have promised to do so, and are getting the outfits made by their tailors. The clothes are palm beach stuff. Thus these perfectly con venient garments that have been con sidered the exclusive property of the men golfers have been commandeered by lovely woman. Those who are wearing them find that they give much -jnore freedom of action and be sides, they are cooler. The idea seems to be a new one, tho women in the east h&ve sometimes played in riding habit. I have it from a woman who has just been in Kansas City and saw the costumes, which she thinks just the thing, t Maybe it won't be long until knicke;bocker suits are worn by wom en on the links of our own club with out causing any comment. The 'w.ar is developing the resources of the 3$oung as well as of the older people. There is a little lad in our village who is a second David, and goes prepared for an encounter with Goliath. The family to which he be longs were packing for their summer trip recently when the mother dis covered among the belongings in her little boy's suitcase the frame of a sling. The forked stick was shy the Don't Poison Baby. I-TORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAEEG0EI0 or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs "will produce sleep, and A PEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has .heen ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them poison." The definition of narcotic is "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul sions and death. The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON-. TAIN NARCOTICS, if it hears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. J. W. Dinsdale, of Chicago, 111., says: "I use your Castorla and advise its 'use la all families where there are children." Dr. Alexander E.

Glidden, of St. Paul, Minn., says: "My experience as a prac titioner with your Castoria has been highly satisfactory, and I consider it an excellent remedy for the young." Dr. H. D. Benner, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have used your Cas toria as a purgative In the cases of children for years past with the most happy effect, and fully endorse it as a safe remedy." Dr. J. A.

North Side News SUSPECT ALIEN PLOTS Three Bombs Damage Cleveland Plants Working on War Contracts. Cleveland, O., July 19. Investiga tions were un.ier way today in an at tempt to ascertain whether three dynamite explosions coming rapidly last night resulted from labor trou ble only or were the work of agents of the German government. The explosions came at 9:45, 9:50 and at 10 o'clock. Comparatively lit tle damage was done. The first damaged the Lincoln Fire proof Storage company building; the second damaged the Forest City Foundry Manufacturing company. This concern is working on important government contracts, and the third broke three hundred windows in and about the Taylor Boggis company, which is handling government con tracts. Altho these plants have had labor troubles, alien plots are suspected. ALLIES INVITE U. S. But Discussion Doesn't Affect Amer ica, So No Delegate Will Be Sent. The people living In Garfield Place are raising fine looking potatoes, Stanley Medlicott has seventeen acres in potatoes, from which he expects to get 100 bushels to the acre. The po tatoes are uniformly large, and each hill yields from ten to a dozen. Thru the Kaw valley the yield will be about three-fourths of a crop, it Is estimated. The potatoes won't grow any more, experts assert, and the raisers will have 'to sell them, because they won't keep. The drouth threat ened to reduce the crop by half, but the opportune rain brought it up al most to the normal yield. The dry weather is spoiling the crop of beans in the gardens north of town, and according to present indi cations, there will be scarcely any for canning. The Kaw Valley Canning company has been unable to begin operations from the shortage in beans, tbo a good rain, it is said, would greatly help the crop.

Entered War Sent to State Journal Readers. On January 22, President Wilson addressed congress, stating what the United States would regard as a just and durable peace. On April 2, he delivered the epoch making: war address, calling for a declaration of a Btate of war by con gress, and setting forth the actions of the German government that made this declaration inevitable. On Flag day, June 14, he made a public address in Washington, telling again of the reasons for the entry of the United States into the great war. These three speeches should be in the hands of every American citizen. They should be read and studied sen tence by sentence and word for word. They tell why we are at war and why our boys are called on to go to the front All three of these speeches are pub lished in an official- booklet, which also contains a complete account of the relations of the United States to the warring nations of Europe since August, 1U14.

WORKING 20 MEN Erangelist Contractors Busy at Eleventh and Lincoln Sts. Big Tent for Meeting Will Coyer Five Lots. The corner of Eleventh and Lincoln streets today was a busy scene of ac tivity, resembling in appearance a miniature army mobilization camp, which indeed it is, being a mobiliza tion of the spiritual forces that will soon- launch a campaign of religious ness against sin and evil. The spot Is the one on which the big canvas tabernacle and smaller living tents of the Williams-Robinson evan gelistic party, which will on Sunday afternoon begin a great revival cam paign, are being erected. A large number of teams and auto trucks were busy Wednesday and to day unloading the two cars of equip ment which were shipped here from Wichita, where the party has just closed a five weeks' campaign that met with unprecedented success. A force of men, twenty or more, has been busily engaged all day putting up the tents.- In addition to the im mense tabernacle, covering five full lots, which barely afford room for its dimensions, there are five other tents, 12x25, built like houses with awnings, screen doors and windows, and wood en floors, that are used by various members of the party for living rooms and book and office tents. It is also probable that another large tent will be provided by the local committee to be used as a rest room for tired mothers, especially those with babies. Every comfort and convenience possi ble will be arranged for those who attend, and the number Is expected to be large. Special Car Service. Rev. S. B. Williams, the advance man, and a local minister called on Mayor House, seeking some minor privileges, and the mayor stated that he would be glad to grant them any courtesies In his power. The street car superintendent agreed to see that proper car service will be provided. The local committee sought for a more central location, but none could be found large enough to accommo date the big tabernacle. Several members of the party are already here. Including Rev. A. L. Hippie, who has charge of the erec tion of the tabernacle and the various property interests, also Prof. Moore, the song-leader, and Mr. Wells, his assistant. Evangelist Williams and family, and Evangelist Robinson will arrive Friday afternoon, also Miss Virginia Shaffer, the grand opera singer, who was converted in their meetings recently, arid whom Mr. Williams announces in a telegram to parties here as having cancelled her contract with the Chicago Grand Opera company to become perma nently a member of this evangelistic party. This is considered a valuable acquisition to the personnel of the evangelistic group. When Billy Sun day's campaign was on in Jersey City, Miss Shafer sang at one of his meet ings, after which she was a guest in Mr. Sunday's home and he made her an offer to become a soloist in his party. She refused at that time. TO RECRUIT 400 MEN Topeka Home Guard Expects Big Ed listment Before. August 5. The Topeka home guard will start at once an effort to Increase the com pany's enrollment to 400 members by August 5. The plan of campaign is to divide the guard into two compet ing teams and the losing team is to give a dinner to the winning team. The members are taking reat in terest in the plan. "I have no doubt," said Tom Pow ell, leader of one of the teams, "but that we will reach the desired num ber within a very few days. The guards are newly organized and when the registered men hear that they can receive drilling under a civil com mander before they are drafted, they will Jump at the chance to sign up with us. Of course, too, if a man is drafted he will desire to be of the, greatest possible service to his coun try and an undrilled soldier is of no service at all. Salina, Kan., and Sioux City, Iowa, each have large organizations of this kind and there is no reason why we should not have one." The home guards will meet for drill at the north steps of the state house on Thursday, July 19, at 7:30 p. m., and are expecting a large at tendance. They will also meet at the same place on Friday, July 20, at 1:30 p. m. for the Belgium day pa rade.

The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition br ught on by a lack of iron in the blood. On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periodH, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tis sue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strencth out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are riot strong or well, you owe it to your self to make the following test: See how loner von can work or how far tod can wuIk without becoming tired. Next take two fiv(,.Krnin tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for ro weeks. Then test your strength again mi 1 see how much you have gained. I hrve seen dozens of nervous run-down peo ple who were ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely rid' themselves of all symptoms of dyspep sia, liver and other troubles, in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alns! not that kind of iron. You must tske Iron In a form that can be easily nbsorbed and sis si m i 1 a ted to do yon any good otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

Ex-Congressman Taggart Ap pointed as the Attorney. TO DETERMINE RESPONSIBILITY Several Hearings Will Be Held in Topeka Shortly. Manipulation of Kaw Valley Potato Prices Watched. Kansas Is to have a food probe. Acting under directions from the federal government, Josepii Taggart of Kansas City, former congressman from the Second district, will look into the high cost of living in this state. Taggart was recently appointed i special attorney for the federal trades commission. Under directions from the commission, he will begin a series of investigations of food and fuel j prices. Enormous increases in prices of food products will be basis for the fed eral probe. While Taggart has made no definite statement of his plans or the exact extent of his inquiry, he has made clear that the government pro poses to determine the responsibility for abnormal prices and extravagant profits. Prosecution by the federal government is the course to be pur sued following the investigations. Several hearings may be held in Topeka, according to reports of a semi-official character. Taggart, however, will probably make his first inquiry into market prices and condi tions in Kansas City. He will then extend his investigations to several towns in Kansas. Topeka. Wichita, Hutchinson and other distributing centers may be visited. Watching the Kav Valley. Just now, it is reported, the trades commission is watching the manipu lation of prices in handling the Kaw valley potato crop. Last year the Kaw valley farmers sold their pota toes at slightly more than production cost prices. A few weeks later they were sold to Kansas consumers by food speculators who received two and three, times the original price to the producer. Not only will the probe extend to the speculations in grains and food products of all characters, but it will reach to the so-called food hogs who have held their crops or bought and stored necessities in an effort to in flate market prices. It is reported that a number of men familiar with market conditions and all questions of supply and demand in this terri tory, have volunteered to testify be fore the special investigator. Other men, with memories of speculations You can tell the women with plenty of iron in their blood beautiful healthy rosy cheeked women full of Life, Vim and Vitality me most surprising reports In regard to Its great power as a health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prize fighter has woo the day simply because he knew the secret oi great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaqnea.

I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results.

SHE APPEALS TO STATE Topeka's Old Friend, Mabel Vernon, Requests Flood of Telegrams. Topeka's old friend, Miss Mabel Vernon, has appealed to Kansas wo men to swing into the national suf frage fight with 100 telegrams to Pres ident Wilson. Of course. Miss Ver non urged, the telegrams should be distributed from over the state and from representative leaders. The telegram urging action by Kan sas women was sent by Miss Vernon to Miss Maude Mary Kline, 103 Western avenue. The message was sent during an idle hour which Miss Vernon was enjoying in the Washington, D. C, workhouse. With other suffragettes Miss Vernon worked in the picket line in front of the White House. A num ber of the leaders were arrested on various occasions and in the last cru sade a kindly and gentle spirited po lice magistrate became better ac quainted with his regular patrons and gave them sixty day sentences in the workhouse. It was Miss Vernon who spent sev eral months in Topeka for the con gressional union. In that time she led blockading party to Governor Cap per's home, where President Wilson was a guest. The women's row which followed the effort to "put the presi dent in a hole" was somewhat the warmest smash-up the new Kansas voters have encountered. In spite of tne Dig row, several Topeka women have offered to send messages to the president and pay the telegraph tolls irom tneir weeKiy allowances.

Wot a Corn or Callus on Feet Apply few drops, then lift them off without pain. A noted Cincinnati au thority discovered a new ether compound and called it freezone and it now can be had in little bottles for a few cents from any drug store. You simply apply a few drops of freezone upon a tender corn or painful cal lus and instantly the sore ness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off with fingers. No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when ap plying freezone or after wards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin. Hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes, also toughened calluses, ;ust shrivel up and lift off w easy. It is wonderful! Lt works like a charm. Try It! Women should keep reezone on their dressers .nd never let a corn ache twice. Advertisement. ft TO OUST SHERIFF Pottawatomie Citizens Are Bit ter Against C. D. Ladner. They Ask He Be Removed From Exemption Board. Wamego, Kan., July 19. Petitions are in circulation thruout Pottawat omie county today asking Governor Capper and President Wilson to re move Sheriff C. D. Ladner of this county from the draft exemption board. Petitions also have been started seeking the removal of the sheriff. Other petitions are to be cir culated asking the county commis sioners to deduct from the pay of the sheriff by the county a proportionate amount of his salary for the days he spent in the registration service for which the sheriff has claimed a fee from the government. The people of the county ara talk ing of calling a recall election to oust him. He has done nothing that would warrant an ouster suit, but his claim that he does not owe the country a cent and that he will not give, his ser vices on the registration or exemp tion boards free is regarded by citi zens generally as an outrage on the good name of Pottawatomie county and the state of Kansas. A delegation of Pottawatomie coun ty citizens has made an engagement for Governor Capper for Friday to ask that Ladner be removed from the exemption board. They will bring with them the petitions circulated among the people of the county ask ing that Ladner be removed from the exemption board. Governor Capper is ready to act. He said, when informed of the attitude of the people of the county, that he would be glad to receive their peti tions and that action would follow promptly in the removal of Ladner. The governor expressed the view that he should not act until these petitions are filed, unless the draft call comes so quickly that it would be practically impossible to wait until the petitions came in before the governor removed th sheriff. HOME FOOD COURSE State University to Teach What to Eat and Why. Lawrence, Kan., July 19. A saving knowledge of food is to be imparted in a new four-weeks course that will be given, beginning today, in the de partment of home economics in the University of Kansas and as a part of the national campaign for food con servation. There will be twenty les sons of two hours each on how to maintain an adequate diet and save food at the same time. Herbert C. Hoover, governmental food administrator, asked the univer sity to give a two-weeks' course in food economy and the department of home economics at once, complied by announcing a more complete course. which will be substituted for a course previously announced. The 300 school teachers now attending the university are being urged to take the new course that they may take a more ac tive part in the food economy cam paign that will be conducted in the public schools next fall and winter. The new course has been modified to include .the topics suggested by Mr. Hoover. Among them will be: Elim ination of waste, conservation of fats and sugars, canning, drying, funda mentals of adequate diet, war breads p.nd wheat conservation, use of per ishables, use of local foodstuffs, con servation or meat, and methods of or ganizing for food conservation. The course will be open to any one capable of taking the work. No spe cific requirements are made for sum mer session students and the summer university classes are designed for every one, regardless of previous schooling. Mothers and daughters who are in terested in food conservation are in vited to take this course at the uni versity. BIG VACCINATION DAY 828 Innocnlated With Typhoid Scrum at Winfield, Kansas. Winfleld, Kan., July 19.- Winfield recently established what is believed to be a record for vaccinations. In two days 828 persons were innoculated with anti-typhoid germs by county health officers. "In ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred the women were to blame for the spread of the contagion," accord ing to Dr. J. J. Sippy, state epidem iologist. "If Willie gets the whooping coueh. it's usually his mother who diesn't want it reported. On the other hand, women should be the most interested in preventing the spread of disease." Business Seeking Women. Wichita, Kan., July 19. Merchants and business men of this city are be ginning to look for young women to take the places of men in their es tablishments when the city gives Its quota of about 400 men to the new national army. Toung men under the conscription age also are being called upon to fill vacancies. Among the business houses which already are "feminizing" their working forces are a bank, a large mill, an auto supply company and an auto service com pany. MILLION GALS."T DAY Liquor Dealers in Stampede To With draw Spirits in Bond. Washipgton, July 19 Liqquor deal ers, alarmed at the prospect of the government seizing, under terms of the food bill, vast quantities of dis tilled spirits in bond, are withdrawing whisky from bonded warehouses at a rate never before equaled. Within the last ten days more than ten million gallons have been with drawn and the ratio of one million gallons a day bids fair to be continued.

Bootleggers Are Using Many Ingenious Devices. Kansas City, Mo., July 19. An in vestigation by federal authorities into alleged shipments of liquor thru Kan sas to Fort Riley, is to be started soon, according to Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, in Kansas City, Kan. Intoxicants are being re ceived at the army post according to Mr. Robertson in such ways as to render detection almost impossible. A thoro campaign under capable fed eral jurisdiction will eradicate the al leged evil, the attorney declared. Human ingenuity has been exerted to the limit by bootleggers in their efforts to get whisky into Junction City. Attempted shipments into Junction City show an entire disregard for ex pense, time or trouble, proving the de termination of bootleggers to break thru the lines into what they believe would be a rich field. A carload of crockery had an Inno cent appearance, but inside of the lot were one hundred gallons of whisky. Use Gas Meters. A shipment of gas meters lacked the inner mechanism of meters; they were filled with whisky. Two barrels labeled cylinder oil had false tops and bottoms. The inner compartments contained whisky. A 10 -gallon can of whisky was buried in a barrel of pitch. A copper tank, inside a head of cheese, contained whisky. The tank had corrugated sides so the cheese would adhere. Two barrels of cocoanuts were whisky containers. One "eye" had been cut out of each cocoanut, the nut filled with whisky, a cork ground and tinted until even on close inspection its detection was not easy. Occasionally a shipment of whisky from a long-distance gets as far as the freight or express depot in Junction City. One such shipment was in a steamer trunk. The owners scented trouble and did not claim the trunk. Officers opened it, finding quart bottles of whisky and a curling iron and a pair of gloves. Get St. Joseph Woman. The gloves bore a St. Joseph, Ho., retail store label. On the curling iron were peculiar markings which tests showed were caused by peroxide. A blond-haired woman who recently had arrived from St. Joseph was arrested, confessed and is in the penitentiary at Lansing. Authorities of Junction City, of Geary county, of the state and of the government are co-operating with army officers at Fort Riley. At the present rate of discouragement offi cials believe the "industry" will not survive long. DRAFT GRAFTERS BUSY "Slickers Bilk Foreigners With Ex emption Guarantees. Chicago. July 19. The T. M. C. A. and other organizations are formulat ing plans today to combat the efforts of confidence men who are obtaining considerable sums of n.oney, it is said, selling promises to get exemptions from the draft. The imposters are said to work principally ii sections of the city which are populated by for eigners who have little knowledge of the English language. They pick as their victims foreign ers who have dependent families and who hope to be exempted on that plea, the confidence men as u ring them that with their help, they will be able to avoid the draft but without It they must serve in the army. They work strictly on the "cash in advance" plan and are said to have cheated a large number of persons. SICK, NOT DESERTER Physician's Certificate Fails To Reach Commander Will Remove Charge. Paris, July 19. French army offi cials announced, today they would re move the technical charge of deser tion against Corporal Edward Foote Hinkle of the Lafayette escadriHe.

Alkali in Soap Bad for the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best- Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and Is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months.
