Xo Benefit to Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 22. Chicago wftl de rive no particular benefit from the Garfield fuel order for several days at least and the coal situation in the city at present is still serious. Raymond E. Durham, county fuel administrator, said today. "The increased shipments of coal from the mines probably will not com mence reaching Chicago until the lat ter part of this week or the early part of next week," said Durham. Following a conference between Durham nd school hoard officials, it wan decided to postpone opening of the grade schools for another ween in nnrnh n and nrivate inn schools.: ahich have remained in session, will close the remainder of the week.

One hundred and sixty thousand Turkish troops more than 50 per cent of General Fal kenhayn's reorganized Turkish army deserted during the recent Journey from Constantinople' to Palestine, of ficial dispatches today stated. General Falkenhayn, appointed by the kaiser to reorganize the crumbling r-c,i m.nhv's vie- Constantinople to Palestine, General Allenbys report declares, adding that "forty-one companies of storm troops which left the Alexandretta district, each 300 strong, reached the front with only four officers and 100 men per company." Even Turkish officers refused to "fall in" with Falkenhayn's program, reports declare, and openly voiced their dissatisfaction, knowing well the unreliability of the disheartened, war weary native troops. In less, than three days, Falken hayn abandoned the Palestine sector and returned in disgust to Constan tinople. Typhus Kavages Terrible. The internal situation in Turkey is acute. Typhus, which a few months ago was claiming 140 victims per day in Constantinople, is on the increase. At this time of the year its virulence js most pronounced. At Smyrna, a city of 200,000, five hundred died from this disease in a single year, while 30 per cent of the Turk army has died or become in capacitated for service thru the rav aged of this dread disease. SEEK A CHANGE

Merchants Meet To Discuss To i peka Closing Order. j,,, Ru,e8 Unfajr Sanfa Fe Employes. "In fairness to the employes of the Santa Fe offices arid of the shops," was the plea of th merchant princes of Topeka at the Chamber of Com merce this noon, "it seems that the fuel conservation order of Dictator Danner would stand some modifica tion." This was the keynote of a meeting of some of the more promfhent mer chants of the city. The purpose of the meeting was" to try and have a talk with Danner with the end in 'view of modifying the present closing order so that the stores of Topeka might re- main open on Saturday night till 9 o clock. in talking the reasons for necessity for the proposed change one or two of the merchants taking a prominent part in the movement pointed out the fact that onlv last night they found It neCessarv to' close the doors in the very faces of shoppers just released from their employment in the Santa fe offices C. of C.

Disregard of Request Will Mean a Strict Order. MANY CHURCHES KEEP OPEN Complaints State Week-Day Meetings Are Being Held. Administrator Knows Little of -What Churches Are Doing, unurcnes, lodges and clubs will come next under the fuel ban in To peka. C. H. Danner, local administra tor, stated today that unless these places are closad voluntarily, he will issue an order. He said he has made a "patriotic appeal" to these organiza tions, in case of shops and mercan tile establishments Danner made a sweeping order with little warning. Protests from many sections of the city against the numerous services and dinners at churches, as well as scores of lodge gatherings and open clubs, came today to Danner and to local newspaper offices. Altho Danner had made night vigils in checking up the use of an extra electric light on light less nights, he said today that he knew nothing of the church gatherings. Re ports today were to the effect that sev eral churches gave dinners Monday night and that a series of day and night meetings were in session in sev eral other churches. "I appealed to the churches to con serve their coal supply as a patriotic service to the government,' said Dan ner. "You an say for me that if the churches don't respond to this appeal an order will be issued." May Cut Off Deliveries. Danner contemplates an order to lo cal dealers shutting off deliveries' of coal to churches which, do not meet the fuel conservation request. A simi lar order affecting lodges and clubs is also threatened. "The churches, as well as the lodges and clubs owe a duty in saving coal," said Danner. "My order didn't cover them, but a special order will be is sued unless they toe the mark. I don't want to close the churches, as was practically done in Wichita when the administrator refused to permit deliveries of coal tothem." At a meeting of the ministerial un ion, arrangements were made for spe cial union services as a fuel economy measure. In spite of this action, tho, reports were made today of special dinners and services this week in a number of the churches. Several of the churches, Danner estimated, would require one to two tons of coal to heat the buildings, in addition to a heavy use of electric lights. No Check on Fuel Users. Careful checks were made on all business houses using unnecessary lights on "lightless nights." No check has been made in the fuel conserva tion campaign and Danner today had no record as to the churches and lodges which were not observing the orders. "All I know about the matter," said Danner, "is from statements which hav been made by people who have called over the telephone to protest against the heavy use of coal in churches and lodges." Conditions in Topeka are improV' ing, Danner stated, and today's report from coal dealers showed evidence of an increasing supply of fuel. Warmer weather will aid in lifting the ban on local mercantile establishments. "As soon as the supply of coal war rants the order will be removed or modified," said Danner."

V Kansas City. Jan. 22. Retail coal dealers from all parts of the state were here today conferring with Wallace M. Crossley, state fuel administrator, in regard to plans for preventing an other coal shortage next winter. It was agreed that one of 'the best pre cautionary measures would be for householders to lay in their supply of winter coal early. In this way. the dealers decided, large reserve supplies may be stored up. The state fuel administrator late to day was to hold a conference with of ficials of the Southwest Coal Oper ators' association. The session was to be executive. The general coal situation here was reported materially improved today, and it was believed that the restric tions imposed by the local fuel admin istration will be raised within a few days.

No Belief is in sight. 5 The unprecedented Garfield indus trial suspension order ends at mid night tonight. Its effect has been vir tually nullified by the terrific weather pt the iast few days. Whil isolated points- report some Relief as a result of the order, others State that conditions are woree. Where eoal has been moved to some ports it gas hit almost unsurmountable obsta cles in loading. Many ships, however, have been supplied. I Xo General Embargo. Continued conferences of fuel and railroad officials today failea to de velop further constructive measures to jkieet the crisis. It was officially de clared that there would be no general mbargo at least for the present on the freight shipments now clogging ihe lines. At Director General Mc Adoo's office today it was stated that fce "is studying the need for possible eurtailment of passenger service." long with numerous other plans. There is little likelihood, it was stat ti, that this step will be taken im mediately, however, tho the demand for it is Increasing. j. Thruout the east and southeast to aay all traffic was blocked by snow and cold. Cars, yards and terminals were packed with snow, ice and sleet. Trains were hours late. T Six Inches Snow in I). C The southeastern seaboard experi- nced its heaviest snow in years, fcix Inches fell here and the city fuel de partment was closed with a sign "No coal" on the door. Suffering thruout 1 is sectio.n is increasingly severe with the prospect of no relief because of M e freight jam. As far south as Atlanta. Ga. the row an sleet and bitter cold swept aver the cities. Wires were paralyzed everywhere thru the section, coal shortaee was leading to critical sutler iig and fear was felt in the south for $ome of the winter crops. May Ilavc to Extend Shutdown. n t A general embargo is still held a ecessity by fuel administration offi cials. An extension of the suspension Order or a new order later this week inaugurating another period of sus pension, is admittedly being consid ered. Drastic curtailment of passen ger traffic also is under advisement. Today a heavy blanket of snow car peted the east. More than five inches had fallen in this vicinity up to 8 'clock this morning and it was still eomin,ar down. All traffic "was at a standstill. Trains were blocked all al -ig the lines. Extremely low temperatures thru Gnit New England, New York, Penn sylvania and other eastern states has lrft piles of freight unmoved. Trains ave been frozen in, cars derailed by snow and ice and switch yards are .unable to work at anything like full capacity. r 31 Kelow Zero in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania suffered with temper atures as low as 31 degrees below yro. northern New York 20 below, Ohio 1. decrees below, West Virginia degrees below and New England 9 degrees below. Rapid freight move ment whs impossible in the last 24 hours under these conditions. Effects of the five-day suspension period die. not begin to show until Saturday, when a drop in the tempera ture set in and retarded all efforts to hustle cars thru. Some relief will be obtained by the Continuance of the priority regulations issued by Doctor Garfield, when he promulgated his fuel order designa tion thai coal must first be supplied to dor.estic consumers, public utilities and ships before being given to other needs; Coal Movement Improves. Doctor Smith reported today that all transportation had been slowed up by severe weather. v Some hope was seen in Smith's re port that movement of fuel eastward from Chicago had improved and that empties were being speeded back to the mines In large numbers. 10,000 NAVY FLYERS Secretary Daniels Seeks Legislation to Increase From 3,500.

FOOD WAS POOR Judge Fines Man Dollar for Breaking Quarantine. Mrs. Fred Verity Tells of Pest House Conditions. Heaven is not a house filled with three perfectly good men with nothing, to do, according tp- ideas expressed to Judge Rad Lee in the court of Topeka today by Mrs. Fred Verity, formerly Eva Lambert. Especially strong is a woman's disillusionment, Mrs. Verity testified, when the house is a pest l ouse, the food is inferior in quality, almost minus in quantity, ana me water must be carried by smallpox patients with sore hands and sore feet. Mrs. Verity's blunt, straight from the shoulder testimony, tinged with none of the superlative elegance of a repartee at a pink tea, won the sym pathy of Judge Lee. Result, Emery Hannah charged with breaking quar antine from the city pest house es caped with a fine of 51 and costs. Judge Lee announced after the hear ing he had had a good mind to turn Hanna free. Pest House Inmates. Mrs. Verity Jiad lust 'returned from spending two weeks of the cold weath er m, Albuquerque, M., wnen sne discovered she had smallpox. She was sent to the pest house, near 'the city tubercular sanitarium. Emery Harlnah was similarly afflicted ars were Allen Storey ami anotner man wno was not present at the trial. The third man has left the city. All three together with Mrs. Verity were confined in the pest house. Mrs. Verity was the first -itness called. She lived up to the enviable reputation of the name Verity, estab lished by her husband red irat), when he took a sixty-day jail sentence rainer man ten neiiii xiusu ittiimoi he hadn't an whisky in his house when a gunny sack full was hidden in the wash room. "Mrs. Verity told me the food was scarce and very poor in quality," said Judge Lee. "They objected to food being carried from the tubercular sanitarium to the pest house adjoin ing. They were covered with sores, she said, and yet had to carry water." Long: Days. Little Food. Similar testimony was offered by Hannah and Storey, Judge Lee stated. Dr. H. L. Clark Is quoted as saying he had not known conditions were as bad at the pest house as the word pic tures drawn and had been assured that the treatment accorded the pa tients was good. The witnesses went on to tell of the long days with little food, their dreams of a table filled with fried eggs, meat and other things and Hannah's Yinal decision to break the law ot the land by going into Topeka to buy some thing to eat. This, testimony showed, he did do he came into Topeka and loaded his arms down with the things they had been dreaming of for days. Hence, the complaint and trial. There is 'another charge, that of wife desertion hanging over Hannah. He will face trial on that charge, later. no thaw' inHsight fContlnoed from Page One.) rule. The lowest temperature Mon day night was recorded at 7 o'clock this morning, with a reading of 10 degrees. This temperature is 5 de grees below the normal night tem perature for the date, but a twelve mile wind from the west and a bright sun overhead was gradually forcing the mercury up at 9 o'clock this morning. There is no chance for snow in this section either today or to morrow, and the indications point to continued sunshine for some days to come. Oklahoma City reported a low tem perature for the night of 14 degrees, or 4 degrees warmer than in Topeka. The boys in olive drab, sleeping in theit open tents, are having quite chilly evenings. Those hardy To pekans who sleep on sleeping porches in this weather should be able to give a very good description of -the condi tions under which Camp Doniphan goes to its rest every night at taps. The official forecast today says fair tonight and Wednesday; warmer Wednesday and in southwest portion tonight. Shippers should protect 36-hour shipments north, east and west against a temperature of 15 degrees, and south against 20 degrees. The highest temperature on record in Topeka for this date was 6, in 1900, and the lowest was 5 below, in 1888. DAILY WEATHER TABLE. Furnished by the weather bureau office.

The appearance of Roose velt only served to accentuate the bit terness of the Democrats a vast ma jority of them at what they believe a concerted plan to discredit the ad ministration previous to the opening of the fall congressional campaigns. But a few Democrats are standing behind Chamberlain in his effort to improve what he believes to be a faulty situation in the war depart ment. These, with the virtual solid Republican strength, will make the fight for control of the senate for or against President Wilson the mos dramatic in Us history.

Swan son's argument was that s the pro posed war cabinet would have con trol of naval as well as millt'arv Dlans. the navy committee ought to pass on me Din. Talk of Compromise. Senators standing with 'the admin istration against the bill made no se cret today of the fact that Swanson's move was merely the first in a series designed to beat the bill. The roll call on committee refer ence will tent senate sentiment on the bill, Chamberlain said today. Already there is talk et compromis ing the fight by accepting the director of munitions, in return forthe defeat of the war cabinet measure. The di rector of munitions would prove much less objectionable to the administra tion because he would have authority only over purchasing and production of supplies. Even that much upset ting by congress of the present plans for the war department will not be accepted, however, except to prevent enactment of the war cabinet bill. Re publican leaders today were planning a caucus to decide how they will vote on the war cabinet and munitions di rector bills. Democrats probably will have a similar session. Some congres sional leaders saw Jhe danger of the majority party being forced to accept one or both bills purely from the standpoint of "safety first.' Penrose AVill Answer Stone. Thepolitical fires are now raging. Senator Penrose has announced he will make a speech showing up Dem ocratic mistakes in the conduct of the war. Other Republican senators are considering like speeches. When Penrose does speak he will get as vigorous an answer as he gives Stone's attack. The partisan flames are likely to spread to the house, many of whose members listened to Stone and Penrose. There was no denying the fact today that in both houses politics is no long-' er under control. After breakfast Roosevelt was in better humor. "I am infinitely more interested in what the president has said about Mr. Chamberlain than what Mr. Stone has said about me," he said. "The first person I see today will be Senator Chamberlain, and the next Senator Johnson until I have seen both I don't care to make a statement To Boost Universal Training. "My purpose in coming downs is to do everything I can to help speed up the war so as to make our co-operation in it as effective as possible at the earliest possible moment, and in the second place to give all the support I can to the bill championed by Senator Chamberlain and Congressman Kahn for introduction at once as our perma nent policy the system of universal obligatory military training for our young men.

Importance is attached to the Aus trian political situation by London newspapers, some of which believe the government is aiding the work men's propaganda for peae in the hope of influencing the Brest-Litbvsk negotiations. The fact that uie Aus- ports of the" meeting between the la- borites and the ministry to leave, the country is looked upon as significant. Doctor von Seydler indicated no les sening of the demands on Russia and a German newspaper reports that unless the Russians accept the offer of the central- powers, the peace nego tiations will be broken off.

On the Macedonian front Bulgarian troops have attacked the French posi tions west of the Vardar heavily. The efforts came after violent artillery preparation and the Bulgarians were able to enter the French trenches at rnly one point from which they were thrown out by Greek troops.

The Irish ques tion loomed up again as likely to embarrass the government today with Sir Edward Carson, the uncompro- miaine opponent of home rule, out of the war cabinet and ready to mix in the whole settlement.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1918 WAS HE AWAKE? Or Did State Manager Kimball Dream of Coal Cars. Claims He,. Saw 1,000 Between Salina and Topeka. RAILROAD MEN LAUGH AT IDEA "ot Enough Sidetrack To Hold His Valued Freight. Estimate of 800 in Topeka .Must Have Been Only Eight! If the Kansas coal administration could only find the coal which James A. Kimball, state manaper, saw on a trip from Salina to Topeka and which was "found" in local railroad yards, the fuel and light ban on the corner drug store would he lifted before night. Kimball came from his home in Salina to Topeka with 4 story to the effect that he "saw" more than 1.000 crtrs of coajt between the two cities. The state manager also was authority lor a statement that 800 cars of coal were in the Topeka yards of the fcia n ta. Fe. The 1.800 cars of coal which the state official found In the course of a few hours are badly needed in Kan sas. Reports f roni the various rail road offices today, however, indicated that very little of it had reached its destination. And in the main the movement of fuel is practically nor mal.

The train's running time is about four hours. There are nearly twenty switch tracks between the two cities. Their entire capacity, as esti mated bv Union Pacific officials today is considerably less than 1,000 cars. While the maximum sidings might hold 1,000 cars, the available space vould not accommodate anything like 1.000 cars of fuel. Mr. Kimball, who directs the business management and shapes the affairs and destinies of state institutions, knew better, tho. He counted more than 700 cars, he told an administration paper. And coal trains and loaded switch tracks moved by so rapidly that Kimball made just one broad, general estimate at something more than 1,000 cars of cool "seen" on the trip. Naturahy the coal situation was clearing up. It meant a brighter sea son for the state institutions which have suffered from the fuel famine' and on several occasions have been practically forced to close. lie Was a Happy Discoverer. Cheered by the things he saw on the trip to Topeka. Kimball told the administration paper he found 800 cars of coal on the tracks of the Santa Fe in Topeka. Kimball's find for the day aggregated 1.800 loaded cars of coal for Kansas points it being esti mated that all of the coal was mov ing under the Carey embargo. An average car of coal requires not less than forty-foot trackage and carries forty tons. So the boost which the Kimball find gave the fuel situation was something like eleven miles of solid coal trains loaded to capacity and a shipment of 72,000 tons of fuel. Mr. Kimball must have meant eight cars and not 800,' said a man at the freight offices of the Santa Fe today. "There hasn't been anything to indi cate big coal shipments over our lines thru Topeka." F. C. Fox, general manager of the Santa Fe, said today that he didn't know of a car of coal in the local yards. There are no heavy move ments of coal thru the local Santa Fe yards, he said, as the shipments go to Kansas points by way of Ottawa or Emporia. Besides, the Santa Fe sid ings available for such shipments, would accommodate only about 200 cars or just one-fourth of the amount found by the state manager. The Union Pacific today reported only normal coal movements, with freight congestions because of limited motive power. "We couldn't put a thousand cars of coal on our available sidings be tween Topeka and Salina if we cleared all the other business," said a Union Pacific official. "Anyone who counted a thousand cars of coal between these points must have been dreaming in the Pullman." WINS HIGHEST HONOR Miss Sadie Yetter Makes 96.5 Average in High School Work.

They Are Bitter Rivals and Hare Had Many Feuds. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York. Jan. 22. Is the old feud between the Giants and Cubs to be renewed this year? Will the Ides of September find the Men of McG aw and their an cient rivals from the Windy City hot footing It down the home stretch In a neck-and-neck race for the National league pennant? Baseball fans of New York and Chicago are speculating on the chances for a renewal of the good old feud, and It will not be surprising to see It happen. Cnbs Look Dangerous. Charley Wceghman, with his heart set on a pennant winner, has strength ened the Cubs to such an extent since the close of last season that they now loom up as dangerous pennant con tenders. They are going to have something to say about where the pennant flies next fall, and as the Giants are practically sure to have a strong voice in the dispute, these two clubs ought to make the fuzz fly. Back in the days of 1906 to 1908 the Chicago Cubs were some bear cats In the National league. They won three successive pennants, and in the winning of these three flags they generally found the Giants or Pirates lurking in their path. A Cub Giant series then was a real drawing card, and there was always a battle. That Merkle Incident. Every baseball fan remembers the Merkle incident, and the part Johnny Evers played In beating the Giants out of a pennant. That incident was one of the many high lights in the old Giant-Cub feud, and it was some feud. A renewal of the scrap would be the best thing that could possibly happen to National league baseball next season, for now that the Phillies have been practically wrecked the Giants loom up supreme in the eastern half of the circuit. DR. ALLEN A DIRECTOR Shawnee Golf Club Gets Behind High land Park Water Proposition. At the annual meeting of the mem bers of the Shawnee Golf club at the Chamber of Commerce Monday night directors were elected for the ensuing year and important matters looking to tthe improvement of the club course were taken up, one of these being the I extending of city water mains to the golf course in Highland park. Dr. 11. Allen was the only new director chosen. He was elected to succeed J. E. Spalding. Arch M. Cat j lin and Judge Geo. H. Whitcomb were both re-elected. The directors will hold a meeting at noon tomorrow at which time they will name the new officers of the organization. In the matter of aiding the efforts of Highland Park citizens "to get the city water mains extended the golf men voted to subscribe for $1,500 worth of stock in a mutual water as sociation, the stock to be paid for at the rate of $300 a year and it being understood that the Country club will take over what remains of the debt if it takes the Shawnee course before it is wiped out. The members also voted to con tinue in good standing all who have entered the army service and to dis play a service flag at the club head quarters.

President Wilson's opposition to a War council, such as is proposed in a bill now before congress, probably is mof without a considerable show of Mason. Divided counsel carries with it divided responsibility and the coun try already is suffering from too much division of responsibility. It wrecked the ship building program of the gov ernment and delayed one of the most important features of our war prepa rations for months. Another result of -divided responsibility has been brought to light in the testimony heard before the senate investigating committee. Blame for the shortage of guns, am munition and clothing for the army was passed about from one to another in such a way that the public still is in the dark regarding who was at fault. The advantage of one man control has been wall illustrated in the past few days by the manner in which the coal shortage has been relieved. If Doctor Garfield had been subject to direction of a board of commission, it is doubt ful that anything would have been done in time to have been of great benefit. The apparent efforts of the Bolshe Viki to place the remainder pt Ru mania under German control prob ably are due to the influence of Le nine, who has been regarded as an agent of the kaiser from the first. But the allies will take care of King Fer dinand's .realm when ther time comes' for arsanging peace terms 1 The food administration is planning a campaign to induce people to eat more corn bread. A considerable increase in the popularity of this kind of bread would not be difficult to at tain if the right sort of cornmeal could be obtained, but it can't. Under the modern process of milling the heart of the grain, the sweetest and best part of it, is lost thru the bolting process. When the householder no longer could take his corn to mill and have it ground and returned to him, the popularity of corn bread baganf to wane. A palatable and nutritious food has been Facrificed to commercial progress. The days of good corn meal are gone, probably never to return. Henry Alien appears to be in a fair way to accomplish what Republican party leaders have been trying to do for years; that is bring the warring Republican factions together on a common ground. It has been suggested that a red headed regiment be raised in (his country and the Brooklyn Eagle places Vic Murdo-:k at the head of the list of .recruits. Russia is abouc due for a new gov ernment. The meeting of th. con stituent assembly reveals the fact that the Bolshevtki are in ti minority in that body. Apparently the tail has been wagging the dog. The probabil ity is that Lenine and Trotzky will be forced to go but they are not likely to quit without a fight. If Colonel Roose-elt or General Goethals had been fuel administrator either wouil have done as Doctor Gar field has done, but probably would have, done it sooner. In and out of congress from time to time there have been heard charges of inefficiency di rected at the administration from cab inet members down. But as soon as a man was found who would actually do things in an efficient way a storm of protest arose in the halls of congress and in the editorial rooms of the met ropolitan newspapers. What the coun try needs more than anything else at this time is more Garfields. Kverybody should buy war saving certificates while they are cheap. They will advance in price next month and will continue to do so steadily thruout the year. Altho the North American continent is the iehest fur bearing country in the world, prior to the opening of the great European war in 1914, practical ly all of our finest furs were sent abroad to be dressed, dyed and sold. London and Leipsic had practically a monopoly of this work; altho neither la located in a fur-producin country. So American fur dealers were com pelled to go abroad, pay expenses of a European trip, buy in foreign coun tries the best American furs, pay ocean freight and insurance, and a heavy customs duty at port of entry on this sile of the Atlantic. Now all this is changed. St. Louis has become the great fur market of the world, and, fur deajers from everywhere Journey ihere for the annual auction sales. RAILROADS AFTER THE WAR. Secretary M,cAdoo has made it known that he hopes and expects that the government will retain control of the railroads for some tjme after the close of the war. Certain it is, they should not be thrown back on the hands of ther owners until some bet ter provision for their continuing ex istence be made than was in evidence at the time they were taken over. It would be -absurd to assume that the conclusion of peace will at once restore the conditions under wiich competitive railway operation has proved at least tolerably satisfactory. We shall have problems of demobiliza tion equal in magnitude to the prob lems of mobilization, except that time will be a somewhat less serious consid eration. We shall need all our capital and energy for the work of recon struction, and th.is means that we shall not be able to afford the wastes of railway competition. We may safely surmise, say the New Republic, that the financial market at the close of the war will not be favor able to the flotation of large corpora tion loans. Government securities will be widely held in every country now at war, and the habit of investment in such, securities will naturally be more or less fixed. Corporation securities will only gradually recover their place in the market. It seems probable. therefore, that the railways will need the support of government credit to obtain cheaply the immense sums that they will need in the period of recon struction. Until government aid can be pro vided thru proper legislation, there fore, there seems to be nothing for Uncle Sam to do but to continue to manage the roads. AX UNUSED LABOR SUPPLY. In this time of labor shortage there appears an opportunity for utilizing the services of the thousands of men who are shut up 'in the prisons of the country. One of the most -pressing needs of the country is Improved high ways. Labor for their construction will be difficult to obtain and is need ed elsewhere. Many state and county administra tions are utilizing prison labor in road work. Qovernor Brou&-h of Arkansas has just announced that 75 to 100 con victs will be ,ued continuously on road work in his state. -A sentiment is growing in favor of imprisoning all vagrants and placing them at work on county highways. This method f utilizing prison labor, where it is c in ducted under proper conditions, Iras always had the endorsement cf the national committee on prisons and prison labor, and a provision for road building har been incorporated in a prison labo- bill submitted to congress. An important feature of this bill is that of requiring thai payment of a wage to the prisoner. Such a wage will make it possible for the prisoner to contribute to the support of his de pendents and at the sarne time will prevent unfair competition with free labor. Tin. passage of the bill will give impetus to the movement for the employment of prisoners in road work and in other occupations affected by the national emergency. Ever since the United States entered the war the demand for utilizing the prison labor supply confined in the penal and correctional institutions of the country has steadily increased. Re ports mad? to the national committee on prisons and prison labor show that the demand for this labor comes from practically every organization which has as its purpose work related to the prosecution of the war. National and state food, iuel, freight, farm and fish commissions are seeking prison labor. State and county commissions are meeting1 to '-iscuss the problem. PLAYING FAVORITES. On the same day congress passed without roll call a bill to appropriate a hundred million dollars to carry out the farm loan plan, it promptly side tracked a bill to loan the railroads the same amount. This s illustrative of the attitude of the government toward the railroads for the' last twenty-five years. It is not the war which has produced the present transportation crisis, but railroad regulation and rail road baiting, particularly during the past decade. There are some who are now saying that if the government aids the. rail roads it should own them. If that is a valid inference from government aid, says Leslie's, it could be argued with even greater force that the govern ment, which aids the farmer, should own the farms. It is a case of the production of the necessities of life compared with their' transportation. Sut, high as are the necessities of lite, a farmer or a farmers' organization has never been knows to argue that the solution of the food problem is to turn the farms over to the govern ment. Farmers have never been the object Of government regulation or attack, but to help along the nation's basic maustry me government is loaning! low rate and for long periods. Ihe railroads are in their present state be cause of government attack, and it is only right that the government should get beneath thera during, the critical period of the war. TMK TOPEKA 8TATB JOURNAL JFOSSMAT20N ES0I&3EAHJ tor SUDEBIC J. HAHKIN. PliajHr, Waahlastea, Ik C THE WATER POWER BILL. We Waste Millions of Horsepower in Our Rivers How the President and Congress Propose to Develop It, Washington. D. C, Jan. 19. The amount of hydroelectric energy that could be obtained from the rivers of the United States is conservatively es timated at 35,000,000 horsepower a year. The amount that has been de-' veloped is about 7,000,000 horsepower. With, the country facing its first great coal shortage, this waste of power gains a new significance. It is evident that we can no longer afford it. The scarcity of print paper, which threatened the lives of many period icals not long ago, would also be re lieved by the development of water power, for many of the sites are close to an abundant supply of the kind of timber that is used for making good pulp. The bill which President Wilson laid before a conference of congress men a short tim ago is' an attempt to stop this waste and obtain the develop ment of water power resources by mjilfiT., th linHArtnViTi? nttraniivp to tramtal. while at the same time safe guarding the rights of the public, and keeping the title to the water power sites in the government. For water power is one natural resource which still remains largely within public ownership. The western states are estimated to contain 72.6 of all the water power, and most of the sites are on public lands, including national forests, which alone contain 42 per cent of the whole. In addition to this, much of the water power in the east ern states, on the streams falling from the Alleghany mountains, is controlled by the government by reason of its jurisdiction over navigable waters. Many years ago, when our lax land laws enabled almost anyone to get title to any sort of public land under the pretext that it was being taken for agricultural purposes, some of our water power sites were captured by private interests. Later legislation wasVassed to put a stop to this. The failure of capital to develop our water power is commonly ascribed to the limitations imposed by this legisla tion, and to the fact that three differ ent departments of the government share jurisdiction -over the resource. The forest service controls the water power on the national forests; the war department controls the navi gable waters; and the interior depart ment controls the water power sites on public lands. The law governing the use of water power on public lands provides that the secretary of the interior may grant a permit for this purpose and that he may revoke the permit at any time. It is said that' this latter provi sion nas Kepi uui me inywiui. The divided executive control or water power is reflected in congress, where three different committees have to do with water power legislation. Here the difficulty of passing an ade quate water power law is increased by the fact that the Republicans and Democrats cannot agree as to how much control the states should have over the water power within their boundaries. Also the house is anxious to safeguard the rights of the public, while the senate, as always, is more thoughtful of the financial interests which are called upon to undertake the work of development. Altho the public has not heard very much about it,- congress has been sweating over this water power prob lem for years. Both the senate and the house have produced bills, and have created bulky volume, of hear ings. The president, as usual, proposes to cut right thru this tangle of conflict ing interests, jurisdictions and digni ties. His bill is different from those of both the house and the senate in that it gives control of the water pow er to a new government commission to be known as the Federal Power Commission. composed of the secre taries of war. interior and- agriculture. The house proposes to give all the power to tne secretary or tne interior. and the senate to the secretary of war. while the forest service (part of the department of agriculture) protested against both bills because they would take away its control of water power on national forests. The administra tion bill is designed to obtain the nec essary centralized control -without alighting anyone. The president also asks for the creation of a special com mittee of congress having to do with water' power, thus getting the same centralization in the legislative branch of the government. The administration bill, dVawn by government experts, is more scientific than either the Shields bill of the senate or the Ferris bill of the house. It is more like the house bill in that it throws more safeguards about the interests of the public, and is less thoughtful of capital than the senate bill. The differences, however, are for the most part minor. The measure provides that the fed eral commission shall lease to citizens, corporations, municipalities, states or o(ther parties for periods of fifty years, a right to develop water power on public lands and navigable waters. At the end of the period the rights to the power site are to revert to the gov ernment which may renew the lease to the-same party, or to another one, or may operate the power plant itself. The rates charged for, power are to be regulated by state commissions where such exist, except when the power enters -into interstate commerce, in which case the federal commission is to regulate the rates charged. It will also have Jurisdiction in states where no commission to regulate rates exists. These are the fundamentals of all three bills. They vary as to details of terms upon which the government may take over the property at the ex piration of a lease. The lease cannot be revoked as longs the lessee obeys the law. The government must ap prove the plans of the lessee for con struction; and. he must develop the water power adequately and com pletely. The administration bill requires that the lessee shall pay the public for the use of water power sites at the rate of not less than ten cents per horse power per year, the rate to be fixed by the commission. The house bill also provides for payment according to value. The senate bill would charge the lessee only for his share of the upkeep of government improvements which benefit him. The administration bill i- also dif ferent from those the congressmen have written in that it gives special advantages to states and municipali ties. They are to be given the use of water power free of charge, and pref erence is to be given to their applica tions for leases. This would seem, in fact, to be the most important differ ence between the administration bill. and those which have been before con gress. It means, for example, that in stead of corporations being allowed to develop power and sell it to cities at HL profit, the cities are going to be given every, opportunity to develop it for themselves under federal control. The administration bill also con tains a provision that the government may take over any of the power plants developed under this act for the pur pose of nianufacturing munitions, nitrates, or other materials needed in an emergency, such as war,. According to evidence brought out in the hearings before the house com mittee, there has been growing up a more and more centralized control of water power interests in the United States that is, we are raising a water power trust. In 1918 ten groups of interests controlled most of the de veloped water power in the country, and these were more or less-related thru the well-known medium of inter locking directorates. This centralization is, of course, to be expected. The water power in dustry is merely repeating the history of most other industries in this coun try. Many of our public utilities' are controlled by little groups- of finan ciers, and these in turn are more or less controlled by the government. This water power bill is designed to nrn'-'s the government control of the wf.ter power industry effective and thoro by beginning at the bottom, so to speak. The whole development is to be under government supervision. The federal power commission will regulate the water power industry in tha interests of, the public in the same way that the interstate commerce commiWiC" is supposed to regulate the rp.lirt ads in the interests of the public Bjt the task is made easier in regard to waft-r power by keeping the title to th: fundamental resource in volved in Ci B ownership of the govern ment, thus preventing speculation and giving the government more power. The administration bill certainly seems to provide well for safeguard ing the public interest. The question is whether the water power will be promptly developed under this meas ure. If it is not, some other method possibly development by the govern ment itself will have to be adopted. For the United States can no longer afford to waste these millions of horsepower.

T DOKOIHT MX WsaM'a Ulrhsst raM Wa Women After the War. No war that has ever been fought has been of such momentous conse quence to women as this war. It has changed the whole world for them. It has literally made for them a new earth, a new Heaven and a new Hell, and when it Is over they will find themselves embarked upon a sea of life in which most of the landmarks by which their grandmothers steered will have been swept away. They will have gained the franchise because those who are fighting to establish the democracy of the Tyorld cannot deny the right of the ballot to half of the inhabitants thereof. The walls of the harem in which women have been literally, or figuratively, shut up for centuries will bo broken down never to be rebuilt again. Nobody can ever again talk about woman's sacred sphere or the potency of woman's gentle, silent influence with a battalion of women going sing ing to certain death in a vain attempt to shame their craven men soldiers to fight for their country, and with wom en driving motor lories on the battle field and toiling like fiends in am munition factories.- The war has blot ted out the sex tine and left us all just human beings. After the war many women who have been rich all their lives will find themselves p6or. Many who have been poor will be rich. Many women who have always leaned upon the strong arms of men will find them selves obliged to stand lone. 'Many women who have lived futile, frivolous lives and who have been stirred by the war into doing great humanitarian work, will find when it is ended that they cannot go back and make a career of bridge, fox trotting and clothes. Poor women who have made only a email pittance as domestic servants or seamstresses will find out that they can earn b g money doing expert work in factories that it has heretofore been thought only men could do, and wom en everywhere will find such oppor tunities as they had never hoped for in their wildest dreams. All of this is going to make many changes in the relationship between men and women-r-changes that will force ua to alter our point of view on many subjects and this is perhaps the most momentous change -of ail that the war will bring to women. The big change is that it's going to doom to spinsterhood millions, of young women who, but for this war, would have married. The girl of to day can no longer look forward con fidently to wifehood and motherhood as her predestined avocation in life. For a eouple of generations to come, at least, husbands will belong to the luxury class and not among the do mestic necessities of the household. Before the war England and Ger many already had an Immense sur plus female population. How much this has been augmented by the terri ble loss of men in battle heaven only knows, but it is certain there will be in every European country that is now engaged in this bloody strife, millions of women' for whom there can be no possible opportunity of marriage. Conditions will not be quite so bad in our own country, but what with the loss of young men who must inevitably perish in the struggle, and those who will be' too wrecked by war to think of marrying, and with the hordes of for eign women who will undoubtedly emigrate to America at the close of the war, the matrimonial situation even here will be desperate indeed. These are discouraging facts, but they are facts. The girl of today, therefore, is fool ish indeed if she does not see the handwriting on the wall that spells spinster and does not prepare herself to follow some gainful occupation whereby she may support herself in comfort, and "do herself," as our Eng lish friends say, as well as a husband would be able to do for her. Now aside from the census view of the matter, whether it is a misfortune or not for a girl to be an old maid de pends entirely upon her own attitude towards the subject. The chief objection, that most girls have to remaining single is that they are ashamed- of being old maids. Tney think that it indicates that they are less attractive than their sisters who secure husbands. If the truth were told, the average woman would con fess that she married not so much for love as because aH her friends were getting married and were asking her why she didn't marry, and because she had gotten tired trotting around to balls and parties and wanted some real work to do and some established place in ths world to fill. Of course the traditional stigma upon old maids will be automatically removed when marriage becomes the exception, and not the rule, among young women, ana wnen the fairest flowers remain unplucked on the pa rent bough. That will take awav one of the main objections to spinsterhood. So will another disadvantage be elim inated when girls are not only able to make enough money to support them selves in comfort but have the Inter est ana excitement or business to fill in their days. No girl is foolish enough to believe that marriage jwlll inevitably secure her happiness. On the contrary she knows it for what it Is the most des perate gamble on earth Heaven if you win. the other place if you lose. Furthermore, her observations among her friends show her that the average unmarried woman looks about ten years younger and generally has bet ter clothes and more peace of mind than her married" sister. But the girl has been taught that if she doesn't marry she will miss the greatest good that could come to a woman; that the love of some man is the whole of life for a woman, and that if she does not have a romance she has nothing. Hence these teats over being an old maid, instead of being chirpy as a man is about enjoying single blessed ness. And it's the man's point of view that the young women will have to acquire that real love and ro mance, if they come your way, are a thing to thank God for on your knees, but if they don't, life is full of excel lent substitutes. Women have put too much stress on love and sentiment and lived too much in their emotions, anyway, and it's going to do them good to have to set their teeth in the real meat of life instead of gorging themselves on sweetmeats and getting heartburn from them. When marriage becomes a thing that isn't being done this sea son, women will not fight, as has been prophesied, ever a few available hus bands. They will accept spinsterhood with resignation and devote their ener gies to business, to the professions, to civic reforms and to mothering the universe. And whether they will be happier or nnhappier than hey" are, no tone knows. j But, my,' won't husbands' be the spoiled and coddled creatures when a woman will be glad to have even a piece of one to flaunt in her friend's faces! 7 (Copyright, 1918.

Mildred had always been afraid of the other girl. Ted spoke of her very little now. but only a brief .three months ago he had told Mildred all about that wonderful week jn the mountains. He had been worn out with the press of work and had gone to Coleville, where ha had found Elsie. She was the village school teacher, just out of normal school, with eyes the color of the sky on a clear October day, and cheeks with the bloom "of roses playing about them. She and Ted had boarded in the same house, and thru the long week they had seen each other so much that when Sunday rolled around Ted had be lieved himself in love. He had not known Mildred very well then. But the day after his return he had met her at a Country club dance, and she had listened while1 he told her about Elsie. Perhaps her listening had appealed to him, for he had asked to see her the next night; and when he had come he had talked about Elsie again. But as the weeks wore on and he saw more and more of Mildred, he had spoken less frequently of the other girl, until Mildred had hoped that he had forgotten. And then, two days before New Year's, he had told her that he was going to Coleville again to see Elsie. "I promised her the last time I was up there that I'd come again on New Year's," he explained, "and I don't like to break my promise." Something in the hurt of Mildred's eyes brought an answering light in his own. "You know, don't 'you, he asked softly, "that I'd rather ber here with you?" But Mildred shook her head. "1 don't knOw whether you would or not," she answered frankly. "Ytu must care a good deal for her." x He nodded. "Yes," he said: "I do." Two days later he had left for Cole ville, but not before he and Mildred had talked it all out. And before he went they had both understood, al tho no word was spoken concerning it, that he was going to the mountains to test his love for Mildred. The image of Easie. gentle-voiced and kind was all that stood between them and happiness. And Mildred tried to con vince herself that he was .doing the right thing. "She is very much in lbve with him. I know she is," she told herself, "and before he offers his love to me he must find out whether or not Elsie has lost her appeal to him." It was hard waiting until he should come back again. Thru seemingly enaiess days Atiidred tried to nx hei mind on other things, but it was use less. The thought that Ted was up there in the mountains with the other girt never left her. She knew how wonderful their week together had been in the early fall, and she was afraid. Gradually an idea tgpk pos session of her and worked its way into her mind until it became almost an obsession. She began to think how strange it would be if Ted should bring Elsie to New York with him as a bride, and it ended by believing that thatc was exactly whatTed was going. to U(J. t Mildred tried, to tell herself that she was foolish for thinking such a thing, but she could not rid herself of the idea, and when the time approached for Ted to return she had worked her self into a state of mind which was fully prepared for any exigency. She resolved to go to the Grand Central station and to wait outside the gates rfor Ted's train to come in.- "I can hide behind some other peo ple," she said to herself, "and if he should come off the train with apother girl I can see him first and come home without him knowing it. Then he won't have to tell me about it him self." She was waiting at the station when the train arrived, and as the people started to pour thru the gates she felt sudden panic. "Supposing he should come with another giri," she thought. "I would never speak to hint again in the world." The fact that under those circum stances he wouldn't care whether she spoke to him or not did not occur to her. She was very much in love with Ted, and she hoped that he was in iv. with her. but the shadow of the other girl still stood between them. So Mildred waited, hoping that Ted would be alone, but fearing that some one else would be walking beside him. The passengers had almost all passed thru the 'bate, and Mildred had begun to think that perhaps Ted had missed his train, when he appeared suddenly from the darkened platform. Mildred's heart stood still as she saw him, for he was walking beside one of the prettiest girls she had ever seen and behind them trudged a grinning porter carrying two suit cases. With something like a sob, Mildred drew back into the crowd, watching with tear-bordered eyes while Ted and the girl passed almost within six feet of her. When they had gone into the main station she rushed Into the sub-way-and somehow made the trip to her home. Then, feeling as if the world had suddenly lost its brightness, she threw herself on the bed and lay for a long while motionless. It was all over. Ted had found that he cared more for the other girl and had brought her back to New York with him. A doorbell rang downstairs, but Mil dred did not notice. Nothing mat tered. But a moment later a knock sounded at her door and the maid an nounced that Mr. Terrill was waiting. Mr. Terrill .wa Ted, and the an nouncement that he was downstairs filled Mildred with a sort of dull rage. She wondered vaguely why in the world ne was caning on her; but she resolved that she would not let him know what a pang his selection of the other girl had given her. So she washed the tears -from her eyes and went down the stairs, jut as if the bottom had not fallen out of the earth. Ted stepped forward eae-erlv as soon as he saw her. "Mildred!" he said. But Mildred only nodded casually. "How are you, Ted?"- she asked. with studied formality. "You had a nice trip, Ijiope." He lo kod at her with startled eyes. "What's the matter, dear?" he asked, softly. There was something in the way he spoke which shattered Mildred's re serve lntt tiny fragments. "Oh, Ted," she half sobbed. "I saw yon get off the train with her. Where is she?" W here la who V The other girl Elsie?" Why," Ted loked very much mys tified, "when I left her this morning she wets standing on the station at Coleville." And wasn't that she comini from the train with you?" No, dear; that was my cousin, who got on the train at Bridgeport, ani r who asked me to take herver Xo the Pcnn. station in New York;" 5 r f "Oh!" For a long two minutes Mil dred's eyes looked anywhere except at the man before ner. cut. mey rouw t ed to his after he had started to speak, for he was saying-, tne most wonderful words in the world. "There Isn't any other girl," he said softly 'There is no one but you, ,v dear." The American Sphinx. From a ledge high on the side af a New Hampshire mountain, the) American sphinx has gazed for thou sands of years at a continent stretch- ing away before it It knows the secrets of America's first children, the story of the Indian, the settler, and the promoter. Its friends call it tfee Old Man of the Mountain, acquaintances, the Profile, and Hawthorne immortal ized it as the Great Stone Face.- Until a short time ago, men admired it and wondered at it from a distance. It was possible to climb the moun tain, but to locate the rock structure was extremely difficult. One couid easily be standing on the Old Man's forehead while searching wildly for him. Finally systematic search, aided by a powerful lens, located the elu sive features. But complete joy In the achievement was marred by the dis covery that the stone forming the forehead was slipping and would, eventually come crashing down into the valley destroying the rest of the profile in its fall. The impending fate of the Old Man caused so much anxiety on the part of his many friends' that the state sent out a res cueing party to rivet the sliding stone to its proper place. Man had no part in the molding of the features. They are a remnant of the time of the glaciers. The ex pression of the stone features is thoughtful and brooding. It is the face of a seer. Twelve "hundred feet directly be low, the Old Man can look down into the tranquil Profile Lake. Off to the south and west for miles, he sees valleys, little villages, and mountains wrapped in New England's winter cloak of white. A im EVEEYPAY Brave Deeds of Men in America's Fighting Service For remarkable coolness and a most commendable sense of humor under dangerous conditions, the navy depart ment has just received an account of a young sailor whose nerve will always be remembered, altho his name does not appear in the reports. When the army transport Antilles was sunk, the armed guard supplied by the navy and i command of Lieut. R. D. Ttsdole, displayed splendid conduct, remaining calmly at their station while the ship was sinking and making no move to leave thier posts until ordered to save themselves. It was when the ship had gone down and the men were strug gling in the water that this unknown hero came into being. He was a mem ber of a gun crew and when rescued was on top of an ammunition box which had floated clear of the ship In an uoriKht position. -When the young man saw the ship coming close to him. he signalled for them to re eareiui, stating that box on whieh he was floating contained live ammunition. Live-Well -on-I-ess Tips. Fish is one of the best of winter foods. Sponge cake can be made with po tato flour. Soap and tepid water will remove chocolate stains. Fresh cauliflower is creamy white and it feels, heavy. Pastry can be made from cocoanut oil instead of lard. Milk, fruit and vegetables are the last articles to save on. A kitchen in good repair inspires the cook to keep it -neat. War bread can be made either with or without potatoes. f Use other fats as far as possiblk instead of butter in cooking. Condensed milk is as good spme times in cooking as fresh milk. Sweets made from-honey should be as far as possible encouraged. If the glass percolator of your cof fee pot breaks, use a glass lemon squeezer for the time being. Delicious cream croutons are made by spreading slices of bread with but ter, then laying cheese on top of .the butter and toasting brown in the oven. Serve with stewed fruit. Her "Bit." Omelet for Six Persons with Three Eggs Lay one slice of stale bread, one inch thick, in. pan; cover with three-quarters cup milk and the yolks of threeeggs; let stand while beating the whites: add all together with salt and pepper, beat and cook in omelet pan or fry in butter in .try ing pan until it has raised, then set in oven to brown the top. (Dried beef or small bits of ham or bacon may ba added if desired.) Serve immediately to prevent falling. Angel Food cake ir tne wnites or egars are measured when making angel food cake you will never fail, and a large or small cake can be made ac cording to the "measure." To one measure of flour add one and one-half measures sugar; sift fourteen times and add scant level teaspoon cream tartar last time sifted, one measure full of the white of eggs; beat them stiff with a pinch of salts pour in the flour and sugar lightly, then add one teaspoon vanilla; pour into an ungreased pan and bake very slowly tor one hour.

Federal Board Suggests Curtail ing PriTate Securities. Washington, Jan. 22. Curtailment of private security, issues and invest ment in new enterprises not necessary as war measures, is advocated by the federal reserve board in its annual re port to congress today. At the same time the board empha sized the nation's financial structure was never more sound than today. The brunt of war, coming as a drastic contrast to a period of unprecedented prosperity and financial expansion, has been equitably distributed and successfully borne by the federal re serve system, it says.

Federal incorporation of banks en gaged in international and foreign banking and whose stock is held by national banks operating under the federal reserve system, should be au thorized by amendment to the exist ing law, the board urged.

BANKS UNDER ORDERS Topeka Financial Institutions Cannot .Open I'p Before 10 o'clock. Banks w-ere affected today by a supplemental conservation order from C. H. Danner, local fuel director. Un der the order Topeka banks will not open their doors to the public until 10 o'clock in the morning and will close at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Banner's order affects only the hours when local banks will be open for business. The ruling was made in an effort to conclude the day's work in shorter time and to work out a saving In the bulk consumption of coal. While the order concerning the hours for public banking are limited, the order will not prevent the neces sary and customary work of the bank clerical force when the doors are closed. The new order was effective today. Disapproves of 17. S. Honor Legion. Washington. Jan. 22. Formatioin of an American Legion of Honor has been disapproved by the administra tion.

W OEMS So&ii)sic Qx KICKS COMING IN Many Business Finns Dislike the Closing Orders. Druggists Hare To Open Stores To Fill Prescriptions. GROCERS IRE UP IN ARMS Candy Stores Closed While Competitors Reap Harrest. Churches Are Holding Sightly Meetings as Usual. "Hello; Is this Mr.' Druggist?" "Yes." "Well, my baby is sick and the doc tor gave me a prescription to have filled right away. Will you come down to the store and fill it for me tonight?" -1 11 be right down." That is the converastion that went over many a druggist's home tele phone Monday night afr the closing order went Into effect. The funny part of the whole thing being that most of the calls came before 11 o'clock in the evening, and very few or these were after lu o clock. The druggists as a whole do not say anything at all about the closing order except that they expect to ob serve it; but after talking to them for awhile one gradually gets the opinion that the druggists feel that they are entitled to as much consideration as the pool halls and cigar stores. Many or tnem leel that it. the order could be modified to allow the drug stores to remain open until 10 o'clock that the interests of the community would be better served, and there would be considerably fewer calls on the clerks and proprietors of the stores to come down and fill prescriptions under what can be no less than trying conditions. Passing by the Edison plaint on Van Buren street about lft:30 o'clock in the evening persons on the sidewalk were treated to the sight of great clouds of steam emanating from the big sunflower valve just north of the main building. It seems that this steam might well be turned into the radiators of the -city, but the chief engineer at the plant said today that this steam escaping from the valve was a regular thing and was not a waste resulting from the closing order. 'Pressure on the steam lines is practically the same now as before the closing order went into effect," said the engineer, "and the steam escaping from the valve is only waste from overloaded engines." Another field open to conservation methods is the churches, many peo ple contend. It seems that one of the largest churches in the city is expect ing to hold a series of meetings every night this week, and the meetings are not for the purpose of putting religion into the hearts of the people either; they are merely gymnasium classes ind social evenings. In this particular church, the report says that no less than two tons of coal are required to heat the building -every day. In one -f the -other big churches of the city-, lata obtained from a reliable source ays that it takes two and one-half tons of coal to heat the church suffi ciently to hold the regular Sunday morning service. More I'nion Services. Churches are necessary, of course, to the good oX the community, but the opinion of the business men of the city Is that the union services pro posed for Sunday nights might well be applied to the morning service as well, and that the Thursday night prayer meetings could be discontinued till warm weather without any ill effect on the morals of the congregations. The candy stores of the city have made a formal protest against the or der to State Fuel Dictator Carey, charging that it is unfair to close them early and allow their competi tors to remain open two hours later. The theater managers, too, tho not making any formal protest and ap parently swallowing the order with equanimity, say, if they consider one friendly, that it seems hard after all the time and money they have spent in spreading the government's war propaganda that they should be closed at a time so early that many people are ordinarily -Juet starting for town. The ten o'clock closing hwr is what the theater men feel would be much fairer to all concerned. Time given to the four-minute men for patriotic speeches, special features in the Red Cross, T. M. C.

TOPEKA, KAN. the government are- the things the theater owners and managers cite as their b&ais for consideration. Grocery Men Kick. In the dry goods stores the mana gers feel that the order is fair enough, but many grocers are np In arms, con tending that a distinct class of cus tomers does its purchasing after the usual closing hour for the shops and offices of the city. Taken altogether the Danner clos ing order, is considered-by most busi ness men to be unnecessarily drastic. RIVER BOATS SINK Ice Floes in Mississippi Carry Down Fire Vessels.

In addition several coal barges were torn from their moorings here and ether craft damaged. Business at Standstill. With a temperature of 12 above at 9 o'clock and continued cold predicted, considerable suffering was reported to day. Shipments of coal are slow in arriving and the supply is still ex hausted. Additional snow yesterday, falling on top of the snow from two recent blizzards, closed even such business places as were able to run under Garfield's order. Schools will probably continue closed till March 1. HURTS LOCAiTlABOR Closing of Candy Stores in Short Time Will Rnln Business Here. The Danner fuel conservation order closing candy stores at 5 o'clock in the evening will work a great hard ship on these business institutions. -Furthermore, it will throw out of work scores of candy makers in the city. The candy stores all rely upon their evening trade for an existence. Now that they are closed at S p. m. and the drug stores and pool halls remain open, the candy business is diverted to the, late closing stores. The drag stores handle candy made outside the cityr This means that the local candy makers as well as the employes of the confectionery stores will have to bear the brunt of the discriminatory order. George W. Hackney., of the Capital City Candy company, estimates .that 85 per cent of his sales are made after 5 o'clock. Last niffht his Oroheum theater store was only 10 per cent of normal and his main store onlv 30 Der cent of normal in sales. "And I don't,, save a cent in fuel," he states. "My. hard coal burner goes on just the same. We can't let things freeze up in the stores." The candy men in the city want the Danner order changed to the hours of 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Hackney stated that he sold cigars, ran a fountain and sold light lunches. The drug stores are all allowed to do this tw hours after he is compelled to close. "If this order is in effect three weeks I will be ruined and will have to close my doors,'' Mr. Hackney said today. NO COMEDY IN THIS! Manager of Show Fined SHOO and Three torn,,, i... W ""i.

"The Republic of the united Soviets aoDeals primarily not to gov ernments, but to the peoples of the world, whom it seeks to unite with the purpose of ending the world slaughter and eradicating the causes of war, namely imperialism and am bition which in one form or another animate all governments as at pres ent constituted. Bnt Welcomes Gov't Recognition. "Any recognition which foreign governments bestow upon the present Russian government' will be welcome, principally as testimony of the power, the frankness, the undisguised pur poses of the Russian revolution. We are not concerned in old diplomatic usages. Ours is a flrst-time-in-hlstory government a government of .the ex ploited and oppressed. "We can hope to succeed, not in proportion as we are recognized by the foreign offices of other countries, but in proportion as we receive the active support' of the proletariat'. of the democracies of the world. "If any governments willingly rec ognize the historical importance and the grandeur of a republic being born in t the midst of the ruins of an ex ternal and a civil war,, the peoples of Russia will be glad to receive that recognition."

Decries Taking Buss Territory; War Debt, 150 Billion Marks. Amsterdam. Jan. 25. Germany should not take any territory from the Russian empire and might give back 'Alsace-Lorraine to France, Maximilian t Harden declares In Die Zukunft. He says: "He who wishes to tear away Poland, Courland, Lithuania and Es- thonia and Livonia from the Russian empire makes of this empire a mortal enemy for Russia who will not always -have Leninistic feelings. These coun tries would bring us no advantage. Their economic development could not least' be helped by gold fertilization by Germany with its one hundred and fifty billion marks of war debt, and a Slavic strain thru Germany would en- danger the life of the eountry, not merely the life of East Prussia. After our experience in the east is there now to be created a much greater and more dangerous Alsace-Lorraine?" With regard to Alsace-Lorraine, Herr Harden writes: j "Neither Premier Lloyd George nor President Wilson believes Germany is willing to surrender Alsace-Lorraine to France at the present moment, bnt what about Germany's attitude two or three years after peace is signed, when there can be a fair consultation with the people? It was admittedly a mistake to take possession of Alsace Lorraine. Must we always carry this burdensome inheritance of our fore fathers? We are strong enough to be our own masters and to cease to be trammeled by errors of the past." .PLAN GRANGE MEETS Series of Talks Will Be Made In Connty by P. S. Sanders.

The charge can be made to explode on contact with a solid surface under the water or at a pre-determined depth.

Kimball, state manager, wherein Kimball asserted that there were 1.000 cars of coal sidetracked on the Union Pacific be tween Topeka and Salina Monday. C. K. Hedrix. assistant superintendent of the Union Pacific, today said that the road has less than a 2-day supply of coal on hand for its own use. Hedrix made his assertion before the Co-operative club luncheon today when he was introduced as a Buest Invited to talk. ..."Kimball." said Hedrix.

Southern railroads, under the plan being perfected, will send to central western roads hundreds of locomotives and possibly freight cars. The step will be taken under ap proval of W. G.

It is planned that the "loan" pro vide several hundred locomotives. The Kansas division of one road alone will be allotted ten of the southern engines. A division- of another road will get a dozen. Still another Kansas division will get between fifteen and twenty. The intended loan of the locomotives from the southern roads is made pos sible by the moderate amount of trans portation needed in the south because of the season. TOO GENEROUS TO R. R. Plan to Reimburse Railroads Will Sap W ar Funds, Is Warning. Washington, Jan. 22. Warning that the war bond market will be seriously affected if the railroads are compen sated on the three-year average basis, was given the senate interstate com merce committee today by Clifford Thorne, former chairman of the Iowa railroad commission, who appeared for half a dozen western shippers' or ganizations. If the bill as it' stands is 'passed, $17,000,000,000 of railroad stocks and bonds with the government behind them will come in direct competition with future .war bonds, Thome de clared. He said the three years compensa tion plan guaranteed United States railroads is proportionately $300,000, 000 more than the English govern ment guaranteed its roads when it took them. Charges Bad Faith. "If the roads demand this compen sation, I charge them with bad faith he said. Thorne urged that the gov ernment guarantee interest on debt and dividends up to five per cent. Tne surplus should be divided be tween the government and the rail roads," said Thorne. He vigorously j assailed the vesting of rate fixing pow j ers with the president. "If you do that, we might as well abolish all courts and tribunals and establish an absolute monarchy," he declared. I "The rate fixing power should be J left to the interstate commerce com I mission," he said. MURDER NOT ORDERED i Bolshevikl Trying to Run Down Sail ors Who Killed Kx-Cabinct Men. Petrograd, Jan. 21. Premier Len ine and Secretary of State Bonch Burevitch have ordered the Red guard and soldiers to comb the city for the motor car with Red guards and sailors who killed Shingaroff and Kokosh kine. The murder of the former min isters has created a feeling of protest and revulsion among the Bolsheviki officials who are anxious to prevent the situation from getting beyond their control. It has been learned sait ot3 who were among the assassins were not part of any crew stationed in Petrograd. but had recently ar rived from Finland, where they had been attached to the Baltic fleet. The bodies of the slain minister to gether with those of the victims- of I Friday's demonstration including M. i Loginoff. a Siberian member of the constituent assembly, were reviewed by thousands today in a chapel in the marine hospital. Four other members of the Keren sky government who had been in an other hospital because of illness today were transferred to the Kresy prison by the Bolsheviki authorities. The ministers transferred were A. V. Kar tasheff, A. I. Knovaloff, S. H. Tre- taykof and S. A- Sirnof FUEL CONFERENCE Dannor and Carey to Meet Citizens Wednesday Evening. At an informal meeting of mer chants today, discussing: the closing hours given for various stores and par ticularly the order to close stores Sat urday night, the request was made for a conference with Mr. Danner. the fuel administrator for Topeka, and also with Emerson Carey, fuel admin istrator for Kansas. The merchants wished it especially understood that they were not fight-, ing any order, but believed in follow ing the wishes of the government, but they wanted a conference to talk over the matter with the fuel administra tor to see if certain adjustments could not be made that would conserve fuel and not cause unnecessary loss or in convenience to merchants or their cus tomers. Mr. Danner in person, and Mr. Carey over the telephone, agreed to this con ference, which has been set for 8 o'clock Wednesday evening at the Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting all merchants, the atrical people, ministers and citizens generally are requested to attend. Mr. Danner said today: "I had re quested suggestions from merchants and others but only three or four took the interest or trouble to make sug gestions to me until after the orders were issued. I am certainly glad to have this conference." DEATHS AND FUNERALS JOHN S. STEVENSON, 54 years old, died Monday morning at his home. 722 Lane atreet.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY Hair is by far the most conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or care less treatment. If we are very, care ful in hair washing, we will have vir tually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair; that dissolves and en tirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt; can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a tea spoonful of Canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of Just the top of the head. This chem ically dissolves' all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of nat ural color, also a n airiness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After Canthrox shampoo, arrang-1 ing the hair is a pleasure. Adv. 1 SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS The Latest Stant. What could be easirs to- sell Than State Journals, may I ask?

Disbursements for the Year 1917 Were $9,518.98. The report of Mrs. Myrtle Callahan, secretary of the Topeka Provident as sociation, at the meeting of the board of directors at the Chamber of Com merce this noon showed that the dis bursements of the association for the year 1917 were $9,518.98; the receipts for the same period being $10,502.57. Cash on hand at the first of the year 1S17 was $1,027.78. The cash on hand o.i January 1, 1918, was $2,01 1.37,, an increase of nearly $1,000 over 1917. One feature of the report was the falling off in the amount of relief called for by unemployed -men. In 1917 the number of appeals from this class of men was in excess of ninety, and in 1918 the appeals were only twenty-five. Young Men Have Work. In all previous years the percentage of young men among the unemployed appeals has been heavy, but this year Uncle Sam is furnishing an unusual amount of employment for men be tween 21 and 31 years old, so the calls have dropped off appreciably. New directors elected today to the board of directors of the Provident association are: .Mrs. T. D.' Alden. Boyd Pollom. J. C. Waters and Waiter Ashton Smith. These directors were elected for a term of three years. IS NEW U. S, SENATOR Idaho Governor Appoints John F. Xu gent to Succeed Late Senator Brady. Boise. Ida.. Jan. 22. John F.

When you come to the end of a perfect row. And you sit alone with your spool. And your bosom heaves with a rhythm slow, t For the joy that -you've followed the rule. Do you think what the end of a perfect row Can mean to a tired heart, When you've dropped each stitch since you've learned to, purl And you lost three more at the start? Well, this is the end of a perfect row, And the end of a sweater, too, Tho it's for a man that is big and strong, It will be pretty tight, 'tis true.

H. E. C. FOOD PRICE FIXING BILL Gives President Broad Powers to, Ks-labl-sb: Prices Paid by Consumer. "Washington, Jan. 22. An- adminis tration bill giving President Wilson broad powers to fix prices of food and other commodities essential to the government's war preparations or for domestic -consumption, was in 'the hands of Chairman Lever of the agri cultural committee today for introduc tion in the, nouse. The measure which it is understood would give the president blanket authority to fix prices thru any agen cy he may designate, was given to Chairman Lever, yesterday at the White House., Chairman Lever said today he probably would postpone introduction of the bill for several days because of the present tension in congress and opposition which the broad price fixing powers sought by the president ara virtually certain to engender. He did not appear optimistic over prompt passage of the bill as requested by tha president, and believed it would evoke a long, determined contest in congress.

Captain O'Brien Jumped From Train and Made Escape. WAS GUEST OF KING GEORGE Had a 'ice Little Chat With the British Ruler. Decorated With a Real Medal "Made in America." New York. Jan. 22. German spies, all and.sundiy. are ir.vited by Lieut. 1'atrkk Alva O'Brien, of the J.oyal Canadian flying corps, formerly a Santa Fe engineer, to repair forthwith t.. Momence, 111., and there t.; make note of the fact that he is very much alive and enjoying a full modicum of liberty. If they get there by tonight they will witness an interesting cere mony, of which the 'flying Irishman' will be the central figure, with Gov ernor Lowden acting as a willing and mighty proud side light. Before taking the Twentieth Cen tury Limited for Momence, where he is to be decorated by having a made-in-America pin fastened to his uni form he sat in the Hotel Knicker bocker and told newspaper men how he escaped from Germany. "And I say, boys," he said -with a bright grin, when he had finished re lating his adventures, "please say 'Potsdam papers please copy,' will you, as a favor to me? I want the kaiser to know I arrived safely." He made just one other personal request. After describing how he es caped, keeping a bare half lap ahead of the boches and death as he jour neyed thru Germany, Belgium and Holland, and finally landed as the pri vate guest of King George at Bucking ham palace, he told how he had hob nobbed with the king for exactly forty-two minutes by his watch. "The king is the most democratic fellow I ever met. Just give him a good boost, will you?" Captured by Huns. Lieutenant O'Brien's plane was shot down last August by a German air plane behind the enemy lines at Ypres. From that time until he landed in Buckingham palace as King George's guest he experienced a series of thrills which followed one another thick and fast. "I was shot in the mouth right here." said he, showing a scar by part ing his sandy mustache, "and then I began to fall down, down;' it seemed as if it would never end. I kept say ing to myself, 'I'm killed. I'm killed,' but you see I exaggerated, for here I am. The next thing I knew a German doctor was showing me the bullet he had. dug out of my head in an enemy hospital. "They kept me there six days when I was taken before the intelligence bureau of the flying corps, where I was questioned at great length by a Hun. He said the Americans would mobilize 1,000,000 men. but would send but 250,000 to France, as the rest would be needed for service against Japan. 'Guess again,' I told him, and he ordered me taken to a prison camp at Court rai." Jumped From a Train. While being transported three weeks later to a prison camp in the interior, he decided to escape from the train. He leaped from a window while the train was making thirty to forty miles n hour. He spent eighty three days plunging thru the mud of Luxemburg and Belgium, and then reached the frontier of Holland, hav ing traveled 250 miles to make the seventy-two miles. "I ate beets and turnips and pears. I never want to look a beet or a turnip in the face again. For most of the time I was escaping I was wearing a royal flying corps uniform. Maybe it didn't look much like a uniform though, with the mud all over it." He described how he raided a boche clothes line and "borrowed" a pair of German trousers. At the Dutch frontier he found a nine-foot fence charged with elec tricity. He made a ladder of twigs and branches but it crumbled when he climbed it and he was severely shocked by the electric current. How ever, he managed to tunnel under the fence when he found himself on neutral sou. "I made my" way to the American consul at Rotterdam," said he, "and the rest was comparatively easy. "After my Jhree months leave is up I'm going back again. I want to meet the Hun flyers again. They really are not a bad lot. There is chivalry among the airmen of both armies. They treated me pretty decently." Children Cry The Kind Yon Have Always Bought has borne tho signa ture of Chas. II Fletcher, and has been made under his personal supervision for over 30 years.

The yearly meeting of the Grace Cathedral Church club,' Monday even ing, was one of the most successful and enjoyable meetings In the cfub's history. After partaking of an appetizing supper prepared by the ladies of the church, and the transaction of the club's yearly business, those present listened to a most entertaining address by Justice Henry F. Mason, and to a musical program consisting of vocal selections by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Dick erson and Miss Jeanette Price. Judge Mason's talk had chiefly to do with the proper attitude of the av erage American man toward the all absorbing problem now confronting the world. And tho the theme of tUe discourse was most serious the talk abounded with witty but appropriate anecdotes and illustrations. Dean Kaye made a brief talk, giv ing a few suggestions as to what the members of the Cathedral Church club might do, individually and col lectively, during the" coming year for the growth of the church and the ad vancement of religion and human wel fare. During his talk it developed that Grace Cathedral ha contributed forty-six of its young men to the American army in thiswar, and that every one of them was a volunteer. K. L. McKeever also, upon request, made a short talk. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: Richard White, president; Earle C. Williams, vice president; and Frank Scott Davis, secretary and treasurer. BOMBER JUST A "NUT" Judge Believes Him Mentally Unsound (iets One to Twenty Years. Chicago, Jan. 22.

Kncouragea Dy the Chamber of Commerce and assur ed of sympathetic co-operation from the senior organization the boys at the high school went ahead and organized a Junior" Chamber among the boys of the school. Hardly were the officers elected before the first public work of a- Chamber of Com merce of any Kind fell to tneir 101, that pf boosting the steady sale of Thrift stamps in the schools of To peka.

(By the Asso ciated Press.) Gen. Szetozar Boroevic has been appointed by the Archduke Eugene in command of the entire enemv front ajrainst Italy and it is believed that the change may have a considerable effect on the campaign. The two conspicuous enemy figures on this front have been Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorff, command inir the mountain front and General Boroevic, commanding along the Piave. General Boroevic is the junior of the field marshal and his passing over him is in the nature or a disgrace, probably growing out of the opera tions on this front. Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorff retains the command on the mountain front. He has represented the extreme element opposed to Italy and as chief of the Austrian staff sought to provoke a collision with Italy during the Tri politan war and has even been charged with using the Messina earth quake as a pretext for Austrian inter vention in talian affairs. tlt Indicates Defensive Policy. y- General Boroevic's tactics on the Italian front have been uniformly de fensive, rarely offensive. For two years on the Izonzo front he main tained a defensive and took the of fensive only when German reinforce ments -compelled an advance. Since the formation of the new Piave line his policy has been chiefly defensive. The appointment of General Boroe vic, therefore, is. construed as con firming reports that the enemy pro poses to maintain a defensive atti tude onr the Italian front. It is also regarded as a concession to the Slav element of Austria as Boroevic Is of Slavo-Croatian origin. 1 MANY HOLD "OFFICES Kansas Postmasters Reappointed for Another Term of Service, Washington, Jan. 22.

HOW TO ADVERTISE College Professor Says Copy Should Be Clear and Appealing. Manhattan, Kan.,' Jan. 22. The successful advertiser must study his market and fit his commodity' to the needs of -e people to whom he hopes to sell, believes H. W. Davis, associate professor of English in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "The value of -a selling point is de termined by the needs of the public," said Professor Davis. "The best ad vertising consists in the emphasizing of a point which appealj to the class of people for 'which the commodity is intended. "The business of the advertiser then is to establish an association of the market's needs with the commodity. When such an association is formed in the mind of the reader, every time the need for such an article arises he thinks immediately of the advertised commbdity. Such an association must then be made active. With the thought of the commodity comes some action toward making a purchase." Professor Davis believes that the time Is coming when the newspaper man will insist upon copy being well written. The ideal copy is that which one does not see but which reads without effort. An advertisement must be interest ing and attractive but not so clever as to detract from the interest of the article itself. It must convince with out arguing, and persuade without begging.

La bor saving devices and a better sys tem of marketing are the problems of most general interest according to the questionnaires. "The big problem of the farmer, is how to make the most out of his la bor," Mr. Phipps said today. "Ma chinery, management and marketing are three things of vast importance in determining what he is going to make out of his labor. These three prob lems will be uppermost at the meet ings of the farm congress and will re ceive special emphasis In connection with all phases of the week's study."
