Washington, Jan. 29. Charles H. May, manager of the Farmers' Co operative association and independent and co-operative packing plants of Madison, Wis., testified today at the federal trade commission's hearing that the five big packers took turns in cutting prices of beef and pork in the co-operative association territory so that the latfier's sales were reduced greatly. He said he knew from years of experience with Swift Co. that the packers' prices were below the cost of production. "This happened some years ago?" asked Francis J. Heney, the commis- sion's counsel. i "It happened this year also, three weeks ago," May replied. "How is that? Aren't they being regulated by the food administration." "I have not seen it," replied May. Since the commission's investigation began. May testified, it has been im possible to obtain invoices of sales by the big packers, altho butchers read ily gave them before. The commis sion obtained a number by peremp tory orders. May testified also that the grades now were being omitted from invoices. Covered Their Tracks. Attorney Heney brought out that with the announced intention of showing that the nickers took steps to "cover up" their alleged efforts to stifle com petition by making it difficult to com pare prices with those of the inde pendents. E. C. Lasater of Falfurrias, Texas, testified as to the difficulties in mar keting livestock which the- livestock men long have contended show an un derstanding between the big packers to keep prices low. Mr. Lasater said he sent a shipment of cattle to Fort Worth and received only one bid, from the Armour buyers. He decided to send the cattle to St.' Xous, and .re ceived' only 4na bid there from the same firm. The cattle were sold to Armour there for less than had been offered in Fort Worth. He said he had no doubt that the Fort Worth buyer telegraphed ahead. Mr. Lasater declared that wiring ahead such information was a com mon practice with the packers.

The issue lies between the Finnish government which declared complete independence of Russia and organized the White Guard and the Bolsheviki and Russia Red Guards. The Bolsheviki govern ment apparency is willing to agree to Finland separation from Russia, its opposition to the Finnish government being based on the ground that it is bourgeoise. The Red Guard proclaim ed civil war last week, and was said to have received the promise of aid from the Retro grad government. In reply to a protest made by Finland the Russian government said it must support the proletariat of Finland in the struggle against the bourgeoise.

Boys in Kansas Show Alarming Tendency Towards Crime. Secretaries from nearly all of Mie Y M. C. A. organizations in the state are in Topeka today to attend the annual conference' of the Y. M. C. A. Secretaries' association. The meet ings was held at the Central Y. M. C. A. followed by luncheon at 12:15 o'clock at Pelletier's Tea room, re convening at the Central Y. M. C. A. at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and a meeting of the committees tonight at the Central building. The meeting this morning started at 10 o'clock under the leadership of Garland Craig, of Hutchinson, chair man of the Employed Secretary divi sion of the conference. Dean J. M. Artman, of 'Chicago Y. M. C A. col lege made the address of the morn ing, summing up everything that had been discussed in the conference and outlining different plans for recruit ing Y. M. C. A. secretaries and workers. "There has been ever since the' war started in Europe in 19-14 an increas ing dearth of suitable men for Y. M. C. A. activities," said Dean'' Artman at one point in his speech, "and the prime purpose of this conference, as I see it, is to intelligently lay our plans for increasing the cumber of recruiti available 'for service in Y M,C: AJ' work, and in training them to meet tne aDnormai conditions that will pre vail in this country and abroad after the war." 1 Discuss Boys' Work. One of the important matters up for discussion was the alarming in crease of lawlessness among boys of the state, it being asserted that the percentage of crimes committed by youths during the last year was much higher than in any previous year. Plans to furnish the boys occupa tions and recreations that will take their minds off these criminal pursuits were discussed, and there is no doubt but that the organizations thraout the state plan to stage a big drive to re duce youthful lawlessness. Among the speakers at the noon luncheon were: E. L. Copeland, of Topeka; E. B. Pratt, secretary of the association at Camp Funston; J. M. Artman, dean of the coys' work of the Y. M. C. A. college of Chicago; Frank H. Cheley, of that boys' inter national Y. M. C. A. committee, of Denver; Harry W. White, of New York City, formerly a Y. M. C. A. worker ir. India and in the army camps of Europe. Keep Workers Abroad. It came out in the meeting that a large number of the secretaries who are being sent to Russia and the Far East to engage in war work will be retained in their respective fields for a long period of years after' the war. Many of these secretaries have gone to their work in the belief that the (Continuea'on Page Two.1 SMASH INVADERS Italians' Surprise Attack Cap tures 1,500 Austro-Germans. Break Thru Asiago Lines; 12 Enemy Flyers Felled. Rome, Jan. 29. Italian troops made a heavy attack yesterday on the northern mouptain from and broke into the enemy lines, the war office reports. Reinforcements which the enemy was hurrying down the No and Campomulo valleys were dispersed by the artillery of the Italians and their allies. Twelve enemy airplanes were brought down. The Italians held mastery of the air everywhere. The Italians took more than 1,500 prisoners. They stormed enemy posi tions on the heights east of the Asiago basin and broke thru at several points, resisting violent counter offensives. (By the Associated Press) Italy has furnished a military sur prise by launching an attack of ap parently considerable force on her mountain front in mid-winter. The blow comes in the Asiago plateau where the Austro-German invaders were halted early in the winter in their efforts to push down to the Italian plains west of the Brenta river. On the Asiago Sector. Berlin heralded the attack yester day in repotting the breaking out of a violent artillery d i. l in the Setti communi region the Asiago sector. Its force was reported to have reached a climax at dawn on Monday in the vicinity of Col del Rossp, which height stands about midway between Asiago and the Brenta. The supplementary German official report of last night, which was not received until today, announces the opening of the. assault in this region, describing it as a violent attack. There were no accompanying details. KANSAS By Bertha Alexander Garvey IN A COLD POCKET Topeka Gets 7 Below Tempera ture on Kansas Birthday. This Afternoon Warmer, To morrow To Be Colder.

Severe Storm Again Brings Pinch of Fuel Want- washington; Jan. 29. As the na tional railroad again battled with great snows thruout the east, coal ra tions and compulsory coal cards ap peared an inevitable step in the fuel conservation program. Despite the fact that little but coal and necessary supply cars are moving on any of the great eastern trunk lines. the pinch of fuel want is again be coming acute. Even with tie best of weather, coal cards probably will be necessary, officials stated today. By spring, it is said many states will have issued these cards, limiting consumers to special amounts of coal. Restricted consumption is impera tive.

NATIVE SONS AND DAUGHTERS HOLD 1ST BIG MEETING They Celebrate Birthday Anni rersary of State at C. of C. "Born in Kansas" Proud Boast of Those Attending. TYPICAL SUNFLOWER PROGRAM 3Irs. De Witte C. ellis Ex plains Organization's Purpose. Native Son Governor the Prin cipal Speaker at Meeting. More than 300 people from all over the state registered at the Chamber of Commerce today as native born sons and daughters of the state. The 1 natives started to gather shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and by 11 o'clock they, were milling around in the rooms of the Chamber of Com merce like a flock of busy spring birds. All the old timers got together and swapped experiences of the territorial days and the days of baby statehood when .the times were troublous and uncertain in the extreme. The crowd was finally controlled so that they oould be. induced to consider such mundane matters as eating and drinking. Promptly after the last mouthful was swallowed the speakers took possession of the floor. Mrs. NeUis Introduces. Uovernor. Mrs. DeWitte C. Nellis, president of the Native Daughters of Kansas, took the floor first to introduce Governor Capper, the first native born governor of the state. Mrs. Nellis in her intro duction outlined the purpose and cause, of the Native Sons and Daugh ters of Kansas as an organization. "This is to some of us truly a memorable day one long looked for ward to. This gathering together of our territorial pioneers and native sons and daughters to celebrate as a state family the birthday of our own beloved Kansas," said Mrs. Nellis. "As an organisation, our purpose is to bring into closer fellowship and social intimacy the descendants of our pioneer Kan sans and unite our state family and thus engender a feel ing of relationship among us, state wide in its influence and scope. Governor Capper hit his stride in the first sentence he uttered, patting the gathered natiVe-borns on the back and "congratulating them and' himself on the. fact that they were born in Kansas. He passed on from congratu lation and launched Into a history of the things Kansas has done and will do in agricultural and industrial lines. He stood pat on the declaration that Kansas is synonymous with intense and undoubted patriotism. Capper closed his talk with an apology for his thoughtlessness in making two dates for a speech on the same day at prac tically the same hour. In closing Capper placed Sen. W. E. Wilson in the chair as chairman to conduct the meeting. Capper is pres ident of the Native Sons and Daugh ters .organization and as such is ex pected to preside at the meetings. Senator Wilson, accepted the chair with a neat speech on his personal pride in being a Kansan and in the honor he felt at being the presiding officer at such a meeting. Dr. Sheldon Principal Speaker. Dr. Charles M. Sheldon was the speaker of the day with a talk on war conditions in England. Dr. Sheldon gave a close insight into the condi tions surrounding our boys as they pass thru London and England on their way to the front. The dominant feature of Dr. Sheldon's talk was his denunciation of the practice of giving liquor to the American soldiers in England. In pointing out the sale of liquor in England Dr. Sheldon said: No Protection to Soldiers. In pointing out the condensed facts about Great Britain Doctor Sheldon The British government does not protect its soldiers and sailors from drink. Men in uniform are sold whis u., arA tHti in nreference to other cus tomers who can buy wine and beer only. The hours of sale for liquor m Great Britain have been cut from sixteen to five and one-half hours a day. But the brewers make ten times the profits they made before the war. The Australian, New ZealanS and Canadian camps in their own coun tries have no canteen; but the moment thev establish a camp in Great Britain a wet canteen is imposed on them, and they have no redress. There is a ration system on bread, sugar, butter, coal, tea, coffee and many other commodities; but there is no limit to the quantity of liquor any one may buy. Eighty thousand gallons of whisky were sent to one camp in France be fore Christmas, for English officers. The result is that drunken officers are sometimes in command of very impor tant engagements. I The British government claims that it cannot take the drink away from the British workman without endan gering the munition output. But pleb iscites taken in workingmen's dis tricts all over Great Britain prove that if the workingmen had an oppo1unity to vote on the question they would vote overwhelmingly for absolute pro hibition. The English people have no right to local option. They cannot vote on the question of whether they will have a public house or not. The whole mat ter is in the hands of a board of mag istrates, appointed by the crown. Unless conditions are changed in Great Britain when our soldiers and sailors begin to go over in the spring, many of them will be tempted by the open bar and be invalided home in dis grace. More than 20.000 Canadians have been sent home since the war, who have never seen France. This is on the authority'of Mr. Newton Wyle, secretary1- of the campaign that made Ontario dry. The most dominant power in Eng lish politics today is the brewer. Lloyd George, premier of Great Britain.

The eleventh annual meeting of the Woman's Kansas Day club is in ses sion today at the T. W. C. A. building. The meeting is well attended, all things considered. The economy of war time is keeping a good many members at home; the fuel conserva tion policy necessitated a change of plan at a late hour; the council of de fense meeting two weeks ago brought many people to town who could r.ot make a second trip so soon, and a4 a last handicap, the Society of Native Daughters and Sons, which is also celebrating today, took a good many from the W. K. D. C. crowd that usu ally feast with the old guard. Nevertheless, the session is an inter esting one, devoted almost entirely to a consideration of the part women are taking and can take in the war The morning session was occupied with the routine business of the society, includ ing the election of officers. The meeting opened with in sing ing of America by the audience, with Mrs. C. J. Wilson at the plana. Pray er was of feted by Mrs. Robert Gordon and reports of officers were made as follows: Mrs. W.

Johnston on behalf of the historical society. Miss Clara Francis presented the registrar's report, which showed that 477 women were present at the meet ing last year. Each of the district vice presidents were asked to give an account of the folk lore connected with Kansas his tory in the part of the state in which the district officers live. A number of the district vice presidents were un able to attend. Mrs. Francis Price, of Ashland, and Mrs. J. E. Brooks of Sedan, are both ill and could not at tend. Mrs. Sadie P.

Today's Luncheon. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock, and immediately following short ad dresses were made by Mayor J. -E. House, Chief Justice W. A. Johnston, Frank P. MacLennan, Dr. E. J. Kulp and Governor Arthur Capper. Mayor House made one of his characteristic speeches of welcome. Judge Johnston spoke to the subject. "Woman Equality Liberty." He spoke espe cially of the place of women in the world, their widening field of useful ness; their place as the political equals of men, and he emphasized their tre mendous importance in the activities of the present war. Dr. Edmund Janes Kulp made an address from the subject "At the Cross Roads." He made it a war ad dress .as be always does, speaking of the necessity of the utmost concentra tion on war work to insure the na tion's success. He spoke particularly of what the women can do and are doing for the national cause. Governor Arthur Capper's speech (Continued on Pace Two.)

(By the Associated Press.) Unrest among the working people of Germany has not yet quieted down. nor nas tne -political com act oeiween the pan-Germans and the non-militarists. lessened appreciably. Concern over the internal- security of the em pire appears in the message sent by Emperor William In answer to birth day congratulation from the reichs tag. To President Kaempf of the reichstag. the emperor expressed his ':ardent daily wish" that the German people may preserve their union until the "final vjctory of our arms." The emperor declared that he enters upon a "serious and decisive year."

VTltiniatnms and demands have been serve! on Rumania by the Bolsheviki and refusal to- meet these fcrobably caused the Lenine govern ment to act. General Stcherbatcheff, who recently was reported to have taken command of the Ukrainian army, has been declared an outlaw by $he Bolshevik!. Most of the disorder in Finland ap pears to be in the eastern provinces nearest Petrograd. The revolutiopists generally are members of the Red guard. Bolsheviki troops have gone to -the aid of the Finnish Red guards and ad ditional aid has been promised from Petrograd. On the fighting front in France nothing has occurred to break the al most daily routine of scattered raids and artillery bombardments. War Council at Paris. The representatives of Italy and Great Britain on the supreme war council have arrived in Paris where American and French members al ready are for the plenary sitting of the council. t German airplanes again have at tempted to raid London, but with lit tle success. Only four machines are believed to. have penetrated the de fenses and one raider ywas brought 'down in Essex. The usual tactics1 were followed by the Germans, who tried 'o attack London in relays, the dura tion of the raid bains; five hours. Leon Trotzky, Bolsheviki foreign minister, has left Petrograd for Brest $Mtovsk to resume negotiations ior Veace with the Germans, according to advices from the Russian capital. All the acts of the bolsheviki peace dele gates have been approved by the con gress of the councils of workmens and soldiers' delegates, which ordered the government to continue the peace parleys. An effort by the minority parties to have the congress declare .atly against a separate peace was defeated. During the debate on this question Trotzky declared he eould not trive a guarantee that he would -not sign a separate peace. Strike Lacked Organization. 1 Amsterdam, Jan: 20.

The agitation had only limit d success, altho the strike leaflets arere spread from house to house in Berlin and the suburbs.

It is up to the persons on whom the warrants were served to appear in notice court late today. It is probable Judge Heinz wilt take their cases un der advisement, the same as he did the cases of other Topekans arrested fol lowing a snow storm about a week ago. Few Topekans, according to police of ficers, have failed to comply with the city ordinance relative, to cleaning snow from the walks.

District Attor ney Kdward Swann has ODenly de clared war on all kinds of gambling. He proposes to clamp the 4'Iid" tight ly down on New York and will prose cute all proprietors of gambling houses arid disorderly resorts. Information, it was stated, has reached the district attorney's office that several gambling clubs de luxe have been operating in a number of the largest hotels for several months. A former United States senator and Yale graduate was recently "relieved" of $20,000 at one sitting in one of the resorts where the house is said to real ize $5,000 a night. An important war conference was the life saver to a prominent lousiness man who was scheduled to be "trimmed" the same night. One or the games, it is alleged, is operated for women and the amount of money that changes hands would compare favorably with Monte Carlo. A well known vaudeville actresa is believed to have lost $3,500 in one night's play at a game conducted ex clusively fs-r women. NATIVE SONS (Continued from Pags One.l ing three enemies: Germany.

Parsons is the last survivor of the John Brown party yiat staged the raid on Osawatomie fn the early days of the state. Music for the program was fur nished by B. P.

Payne, Burlingame; Senator W. E. Wilson, Washington; Senator H. L. Hilkey, Lyndon: Senator K. C. Pomeroy, Holton; Senator Rolla W. Coleman, Merriam; and Senator Paul H. Kimball, Parsons. Kansas Birth Recalled. Just fifty-seven years ago today the state of Kansas was given tumultuous birth in the hall of congress. In the face of a padded legislature from the slave state tothe east, the Free soil men of Kansas forced thru the bill and the constitution that aligned the prospective state on the side of free dom for all and enslavement for not one of any race.- Out of theoil and travail of the bloody war of the order ruffian days the Free 'tate len emerged victorious, and on Janu ary 29 1861, a courier from Leaven worth galloped into Topeka bearing the first news that the proposed con stitution of the state of Kansas was ratified by the national congress and that Kansas was now a state, and as such entitled to consideration and rep resentation in the governing body of the nation. At that time there were in Topeka perhaps 100 covered buildings, this number including even the outbuild ings. Across the corner now Sixth and Kansas avenue there was a barricade of logs to bemused as a fortification in case the ruffians then running ram pant thru the state should make an attack on the city. There were no street cars, no macadam roaas. and nomodern conveniences of any 'kind; Topeka was just a sod city or village on a far flung Kansas prairie. There was no indication whatever that To peka would ever grow to be the capi tal city of the state nor that in the sod city on the banks of the Kaw there would one day be standing a city whose fame should go out thru the land as the one fountain head of pro hibition. All that Topeka is today was not even dreamed of on, that cold January day in 1861,' when the cour ier came galloping into the streets of the villages bearing tidings of state hood and bloody battles in the south. It is all this that the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas celebrated today -at the Chamber of Commerce. The Quinine That Does Not Affect Head Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXATIVK KROMO QUININK can be taken by anyone without causing nervous ness or rlnicing in the head. There ia only one "Bromo Quinine." B. W. OROVK'S signature la on box. 30c. AUt. MANY WOMEN (Continued from Page One.) was on "Kansas and the War." He mentioned the prid'e that Kansas has in the prominence of the place -this" state is taking in a national way, especially as. to the fitness ot her troops, which la made possible by the long year-.; of prohibition In Kansas. He went over the record of Kansas as a state- possessing a high order of patriotism, and spoke of the health, enthusiasm and high -moral standards of the. soldiers from this state in the present conflict.' Mr. MacJLennan on Camouflage. Frank P. MacLennan, editor and publisher of the State Journal, spoke on the subject "Camouflage," but not once in his speech did he attempt to pronounce the word. "Tour club is a patriotic one,' he said. "There are many other patriotic clubs, but in the way of Kansas Da clubs', the Women's Kansas Day club, as 1 understand it, is founded upon purely a patriotic, base. Some other Kansas Day club may be primarily an organization for the enhancement of one particular pasty, I but I know that this particular club is organized upon broader lines. Still, in speaking to tl'.is gatjierlng I find 'myself unable to get away from the one 'point of woman suffrage; not that it is a mat ter with us to be debated, but that it exists and we are all proud of it "The war has given us all new light and new insight. "1 want to assure you at this time that it is agreat privilege- for me to talk before you even for a few min utes. Think what it means to a man who is in the minority In his house hold, and what a privilege to talk as one unrestrained and uninterrupted. It is a privilege fer which I thank you, and i feel the more highly honored that you have given four men this oppoitunity when there are so many of you women, anxious and ready to talk on this and all other occasions. "To mention the wonderful work that women are -doing 1n the varied necessities of the war, and so well doing let me merely remind the four other mere men who are here and you often hear the expression ,'mere man' but never mere woman let me remind them that It was Betsy Ross who made the first of the flags which I we consider the most beautiful flag in existence: it was Molly Pitcher who, within the first minutes of her widow, hood manned the- gun that had been fired by her late husband, and I might give- endless illustrations. Woman gives man his first nourishment and it is the best that he ever gets. When man later on supplies the food then follow indigestion and the various ail ments in the wake of man-made food in all its dangerous variety. "Woman gave us our first clothes and never were-we, clothed so daintily, appropriately or serviceably. Later men are man tailored. When woman is decked out in the most entrancing manner on the important wedding day, even then man is clothed only in the conventional black. "Woman teaches man to talk. The first syllables he utters are copied from the mouth of the. mother, and what apt pupils some of these men are. You will have- illustration in Governor Capper's talk here today. He was not much of a speaker until his mother taught Aim how to talk and his wife told him what to say now he is a post-graduate in oratory. Value 'of a Teat Party, f "Do you realize the importance of aJ tea party You women have dis cussed, with good results, many im portant subjects at these afternoon gatherings und I need only remind you that suffrage and. Independence came to the men of this country following on the heels of one of the greatest' afternoons known In our country's his tory that of the Boston Tea Party. "A new star has been added within the last few days to the power and province of woman. Food, Commis sioner Hoove made an announce ment this week that In 20,000 house holds the great majority had signed the pledges for the conservation of food, saying at the same time that the country had only one police to enforce these rules the women of the house holds. "I am proud that I belong to the calling of the. press which made it pos sible for you women and all the wo men over this entire country to re ceive this latest and most important emblem of your authority and your efficiency, the duty and privilege of enforcing these food rules which may win the war." Mrs. Brooks on Women of Today. Mrs. C. H Brooks, of Wichita, pres ident of the Kansas Equal Suffrage association, was the principal speaker of the afternoon, taking as her sub ject, "Activities of the Women of To day." She reviewed briefly the prog ress of women to their present state approaching political equality all' over the world a state actually attained in some parts of tire world. Site spoke of the work the women Are doing now in the Red Cross, the woman's com mittee of the council qf defense, and other powerful organizations for as sistance in prosecuting the war, -and in the relief of the suffering caused by it. "The wonder of all this movement for the emancipation of wonren is that it is general thruout the world, and not confined to our own nation," she said. "At a convention recently held in Rome, one of the leading men of Italy declared that the world is ready to listen to the voice of the women, which Is now the voice of civilization. We are disheartened by the calamity that has overtaken the old civilization, and it is now to be the work of wo men to replace the fallen structure with a better one. In Canada and In England, -women are being enfran chised. "The governor general of Canada wrote to our president that he thought it unwise to withhold 'political free dom from the women longer, as they had done such wonderful things for the country in Its time of need. In New Zealand and Australia, where the women- are politically free, there is the lowest mortality rate among chil dren to be found anywhere, due to the interest the women take in making laws for the protection of childhood." "Home Fires.' Mrs. W. A. McCarter was asked to speak on "Home Fires". Mrs. McCar ter is an officer of the Kansas Stated Historical society, and her address combined a report of that society with a suggestion as to how to extend Its scope and usefulness to the state. She is chairman of the society whose work is to be the preservation of Kansas history. She is looking toward a sys tem of work that shall have for Its object the preservation of Kansas his tory thru the recording of such land marks as now exist and the preserva tion of legends of the' state's history; the location of landmarks that have disappeared, and by the celebration of two days Kansas Day and Founders' Day. She believes- that the location ot these old landmarks should be made on maps or charts of each community that possesses them. The observations of Kansas Day x and Founders Day should be kept by the school children especially, as this ex tends interest In the state's history to the oncoming generation, and by the woman's clubs. "The propagation of this idea," Mrs. McCarter said, might be undertaken by a special society organised for the purpose, or it might be carried on thru existing societies:' It would 1ea present, concrete bit of work for the Woman's Kansas Day club to under take." Hear Miss Graham. Miss Effie Graham was asked tr speak from the subject "After War ds." "Before the war," she J said, "the women were organized for' social, philanthropic, uplift, work, study, preservation of history, etc. Then the war came and broke us up. MTs put our heads out of the window to see our history marching by. If the war ends soon, we will go back from our knitting .to the -old pursuits. If it continues, great changes will come to Kansas club women. The small, exclusive club will be replaced oy me .large erncient organization. Personal ambition -will play a smaller part in club life. We will wish to propose the candidate t and not be savagely overtaken by her. There have been seme leap years in Kansas club life when the lady won,' but the honor is empty. The sight of thenew woman serving at Red Cross, in the household at simple tasks, is the answer to the maligners of the woman movement who declared that if women became politically free they Would have to fight in the wars. Strictly feminine life will be accentuated by the, war. The fine arts of healing anr preparing food and clothing will be greatly revived among1 women. Our organizations should not be allowed to languish during the war. The work for school and home must be ke0t up. And after it's over and recon struction begins, we must look to the returned soldiers for a great deal of help. Their experience, and the hard lessons they willhave learned will be of the greatest value afterwards." Patriotic Pageant.' A patriotic pageant followed the speeches given by a group of sorority girls from Washbrn college.. The af fair was a pantomime, the opening scene being in a parlor with the girls in party dresses. At the back of the stage was a can marked "Garbage." The ensuing scenes act out the plan for the substitution of whole wheat for fine flour, oleo for butter, molasses for subar. etc. The irls appear, in the second scene in kitchen, aprons sig nifying that work is to take the place of play. The play is called Kanning-King-Kan.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1918 FOR LABOR REFORM Workmen Use Iron Fist, Too, Dealing With Kaiser.- Demand 8-Hour Day and One Day a Week Rest. WOMEN WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK Xo Child Under 15 To Be Em ployed at Any Kind of Job. Demand of Despot More Than U. S. Workers Hare Sought. BT GEORGE MARTIN. Washington. Jan. 29. An outline of revolutionary demands to be made on the kaiser's government by German labor, which reached the American government today shows that they are asking more of the despot than Amer ican labor has asked of its democracy. This program may play an import ant part in settlement of the social un rest among the people in the Austro German empires if they get the wnip hand as a result of the social up heaval reported under way there. The program provides for an eight hour day and a six day week. It pro hibits all Sunday work except that absolutely necessary and provides for a day of rest during the week for Sunday workers. It prohibits night work except "in a few cases where it Is absolutely necessary and which can be determined by law." Regulate Woman's Work. Women must not work more than eight hours a day, five days a week and not more than four hours on Sun days or other days preceding holi days; must not be given work to take home with them. The employment of women under this plan would be absolutely prohib ited at night, on Sundays and holidays, on work which is damaging to health and for six weeks prior to childbirth, for twenty-six weeks thereafter and during the next twenty-six weeks they may work only four hours a day. No chlid under 15 could be employ ed in any kind of work. Those be tween 15 and 18 may not work more than six hours a day and these may not be employed at night, on Sundays or holidays in mines or on work dan gerous to health. falls for Hoard of In.scctors. Enforcement of the laws protecting .labor in this way would be in the "hands of inspectors chosen hy the la borers themselves. Only women in spectors would be permitted to in spect and pass on women's working conditions. The right to strike." says the plea, "must be freed from all restrictions and conceded without restrictions to all sections of the population." Every place employing more than .twenty persons must provide for a committee from the employes to have a voice in the treatment of the work ers in the place by the employers. This ommittee would have a vote as pow erful as that of the employers. Workers interests would be pro tected in all government departments ly fully authorized committees named from their membership by the workers themselves. For Insurance of Soldiers. Insurance which will guarantee every man and woman out of a Job a place to eat and sleep and somethin: to wear would be provided by the gov ernment. The government would be com pelled to establish a ministry of work ers sociHl legislation. In addition to this, there is a long and detailed list of demands provid ing for the complete care of maimed and disabled soldiers, calculated to in sure them and their dependents ade quate care between the time they are discharged and the time they are ful ly re-estsblished as private citizens. FOR COMMITTEE WORK President MoKntlre of Chamber or Commerce Would Vse AH Members. "Put the committeeman in the spot light in every possible occasion" is the ida of President George P. McEntire of the Chamber of Commerce ex pressed at the meeting of the com mittee chairman at the Chamber of Commerce Monday night. Many new plans were discussed for accomplish ing the lighting features of committee but no definite decisions were reached. The promotion committee is now extinct, but in its place there is a new committee called the industrial xievelopfnent comt-.ittee. It is planned that this committee undertake the boosting of the enterprises already lo cated in Topeka and new ones that may be started here, rather than spending all its efforts on outside businesses. At the meeting the old auditing committee was reappointed for the coming year. George W Stansfield, W. W. Webb, and W. L. Porter are the members of the auditing commit tee. MRS. KIRKPATRICK DIES Wife or Washburn Professor a Victim of Pneumonia. Mrs. Lizzie White Kirkpatrick, 51 years old, the wife of Prof. J. E.

B Inquirers should be careful to on serve two points; Enclose a .l-cent atamp and addresa their wttera to Washington, as above, and not to Topeka, otherwise de lay and heedless expense are Incurred. Tinder the title "Friends of German Democracy." American citizens of Ger man birth or descent have organized tij spread te principles of 'democracy 1h Germany. After the failure of the German revolution of 1848-49 to at tain democracy, there came the first great German immigration to Ameri ca. Thoe who came then and since found In America the political freedom that Germany failed to give them, and tie opportunity- to make a better liv ing here than was possible in the Fatherland. A call has been Issued to alt Americans of German birth or de scent to assert themselves on the side of. democracy in this conflict, and to bring home to the people of Germany their opportunity to rise against the kaiser and the junkers and establish a democratic government in Germany with which America and her allies would willingly make peace. The ex ecutive committee is headed by Franz Sigel, whose name will bring to the American people memories of a loy ajty to the principles of our govern ment as exemplified by another dis tinguished German of that name. The war is calling for huge expen ditures of blood and "treasure, but it is well to consider at times that while we are paying a high price for them we shall in the end receive benefits inestimable in value. The lessons of tterift, self sacrifice and consideration for others which the world is learning tnight never have been acquired In any other way. The conflict may be likened to a Billy Sunday revival on a. hnge scale. V A demonstration of the possibility bt co-operation between motor trucks and boat lines for the Improvement of transportat;on facilities has been given Jn the territory adjacent to Long Is land Sound. At New Haven, Conn., products are being received from in terior points In that state by auto trucks which deliver goods at the dock or the New Haven line. Transporta tion Is by water from that city to New tj-rk, and the following day the goods are loaded on a thru car for their des tination on the Lackawanna Fast freight Lines. This new war-dispatch route eliminates the transfer car, and the use of car, engine and floor space fri freight house, and tends to consoli dation and increased tonnage on the thru car from New Tork to the destl sation. Have the readers of the State Jour nal noticed that General Grant's pic ture is printed on the new $10,000 bills? Ten government experts have been assigned to tell farmers how to cut their wood with advantage to the le aining timber. One government "ex pert" undertook" to tell the coal pro ducers and the coal consumers what to do and look at the result. A little free play of the law of supply and de mand and practical experience instead of theoretical knowledge might help. .In the course of his three-hours-long speech in criticism or trie government last week. Senator Chamberlain fre quently asserted that he was talking for the good of the country. A care ful perusal of his remarks must con vince any one that he was making a plea In self defense. The senator would have stood a better chance of influenc ing the thought of the country if he had said less regarding his own integ rity, bravery and patriotism. Before the United States entered tiie war the total number of positions classified under the federal civil serv ice law slightly more than 300, 600. There has been a pronounced in crease in the past few months; the exact figures are not available. Dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, women were appointed to fully iS per cent, of the positions the duties of which could be performed by either men or women. Of approximately 1 5.000 appointments made to clerical and other office positions In Washing ton since the war began, about 40 per cent have ;.one To women. "Messen- r -r Ft?. Is a pew title In jrovernment offices and is a war development- The supply of messenger boys for public and private business ran short. Busi ness houses as well as government of fices at Washington arc employing messenger girls. ANOTHER WAR ECONOMY. Itetail merchants In all Jowns of 2.600 or more will be asked In the next few weeks to adopt the entire retail delivery program of the commercial economy board of the council of na tional defense, according to plans set under way at a conference in Wash ington January 15. The conference was held by the commercial economy board and the state councils, section of the national council, and was at tended by representatives of the coun cils of defense in states east of fhe Mississippi. A similar meeting is to be held later for representatives of the western states. The recommendations, which in clude a maximum of one deliery a day, the elimination of special deliv-' eries, the restriction of the return goods and c. o. d. privileges, and in small and medium sized cities end towns the establishment of co-operative delivery systems, are already part ly or wholly effective in cities with a total population of more than 2,000. 001. The object of the work is to enable retail stores,, when their men are drafted, to get on without seeking to replace them from the farms, ship yards, railroads and other vital indus tries. "All signs point to an enormously increased demand for men in the war and war work during the spring and summer," said A. W. Shaw, chairman of the board. "The secretary of la bor has Just stated that in the next six months we must, furnish approxi mately 1,000,000 workers for agricul ture, 400,000 for shipbuilding, 100,000 to man the ships, 250.000 for trans portation, and 250,000 for the manufac ture of munitions. This will .inevita bly take many more men, from the stores. The more intensive phase of the delivery campaign is intended to help the stores give up these men in an orderly way." In fixing the blame for the break down of transportation under 'govern ment control the buck has been passed to the old management. It is charged with negligence In not keeping its lo comotives In a condition of efficiency. The fact that the roads were not per mitted to make enough money to keep up their rolling stock seems to have been overlooked. Negligence is a good word but it cannot be made to apply to the railroads alone. AN IMPORTANT DITTY. The treasury department has issued a statement that insurance amounting to almost $4,000,000,000 has already been applied for under the provisions of the military and naval insurance act, but that this great total ,4s only a beginning in other words, that there are still many thousands of soldiers and sailors who have not yet availed themselves of the privileges conferred by this law. Secretary McAdoo has said of this plan for safeguarding America's serv ice men and their families that it ia 'the most just and humane provision ever 'made by any nation for its sol diers." Under this' act every soldier end sailor is automatically given partial and limited protection, payable only to his wife, child, or widowed mother; but that provision expires on Febru ary 12, 1918. Therefore, it Is impor tant, not alone to the country's fight ing men, but to their families and de pendents as weft that before that date they take advantage of the full pro tection placed at their disposal by the government. This insurance can run as high as $10,000. and is payable to a wife, child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister. In case of the death of a sol dier or sailor Insured for the full amount, or $10,000, his beneficiary will receive from the government $57.50 per month for 240 months, or a total of $13,800. In other words. the government will pay $5.75 per month per $1,000 of insurance for 240 months, or twenty years. The Insur ance holds good so long as the insured man remains in the n service, after which he is given an opportunity to convert it into another form of insur ance, so that what he pays in pre miums in the meantime need not be lost. Furthermore, the law provides for the re-education and rehabilitation of. and monthly compensation for. men who may be totally disabled. This plan should be given thought ful consideration by every man in, or about to enter, the service, and by his relatives and others who have his wel fare at heart. An appeal to President Wilson to speed up governmental machinery in a.id of production in stich manner as to relieve the anxiety of farmers as to la bor strpply, credit facilities, seed short age, and other vital questions has been made by the federal board, of farm organizations, accompanied by a me morial in behalf of more than 2,000, 000 organized farmers. A copy of the memorial, which is long and well worded, has reached this office. A careful perusal of it fails to reveal what it is, specifically, the farmers want the government to do. Before a remedy could be provided, therefore, a federal investigation would be necessary. By the time the report would be filed the crop year would have ended. War savings certificates will cost the purchaser one cent more begin ning next Friday. Buy now and save I money. TR1 TOrEKA STATE JOUBKAl. ENFO&ESATIQH BKJKEAQ By FREDERIC t. HASKIX. Waalns-ta. IX. C MILI.IOXS FOR MERCY. The Gigantic War Fund of the Red Cross Is Rapidly Beans; Expended In iorld Relief Work. Washington, Jan. 25. The work of the American Red Crdss is going for ward on "both sides of the Atlantic on on enormous scale. The last detailed report of .he organization on Novem ber 1, showed appropriations totalling $40,000,000. Since that date the sums approved for expenditure have risen to a figure estimated at $80,000,000. Certain' items In this total willxeven- tuaily be credited again to the war fund: for example, the money spent for articles for resale to local chap ters, and a sum of $4,000,000 which represents supplies for France, includ ed In the budget of the French com mission, but the size of the net ap propriations Is a significant index of the magnitude of the work being car ried on. The public has backed up the Red Cross in a way that exceeded expecta tions. The total jnembership is over 22,000,000. It has become "every body's Red Cross" to a greater extent than even the sanguine hoped for, and everybody is interested in the way its scores of millions are .being spent. The record of the work done at home and abroad Is such that criticism. which has for the most part confined iLjelf to such picayune matters as the misdelivery of a pair of knitted socks, is pretty effectively silenced. PerhaDS the most striking feature of the appropriations is the fact that more than 'half of the money is spent in France. This is due partly to the fact that the needs of the French civilians in the war zjne are particu larly great, and partly because of the continually increasing number of American 'troops in that country. "3roadly speaking," says the Red Cross, "the first and supreme object of the American Red Cross is to care for our owj army and navy." But almost every other country in Europe is a field of operations. Bel gium. Russia, Rumania, Serbia, Italy. Poland. Great Britian, Armenia and Syria are included in the list of major appropriations. The amount of money to be expended in each of these coun tries is no measure of the conditions there, but rather represents the effect iveness with which the American or ganization can apply a relief program in view of local conditions. The work in Poland, for example, has only called for a sum of $200,000 so far, altho conditions in Poland ere perhaps the worst In the world. In the words of a recent report from the field, "The entire present generation in Poland is facing immediate starva tion." American money allotted to Poland was used in the purchasing of emergency food supplies. The fact that the territory is held by the Ger mans makes it impossible to deal with the problem in the way that is being. applied to the destitute regions of France. Moreover, the British Red Cross, since the beginning of the war, has raised enormous sums for the Polish sufferers. The work in France promises to be come the most elaborately organized and comprehensive thing of its kind tnat tne world has ever seen. A val uable service is rendered the war cause even by civilian relief work, for much or it oeneflts the families of the men in the French army. The conscious ness that his kindred axe being ade quately cared for is an important rector in Keeping up the morale of a man in the front line. Expenditures in France so far have been divided quite evenly between clv- nan ana military relitt. The care of the wa.-' orphans and homeless chil dren of the northern Drovinces. and the fight against tuberculosis are the most striking features of the civilian work. Both of these aro of vital im portance to the future of France. Even before the war. the French birth rate and death rate "were approximately equal, in lsis, the death rate, even riside from war casualties, had reach ed 20 per thousand, and the birth rot j ha I fallen to eigl.t per thousand. There was a net loss in population of almost 2 per cen in a single year. This was largely due to the enormous mortality among young children a circumstance at once the most pathetic ana tue most serious economically that the war has brought to France. The Red Crow is taKing charge of great number os "repatriated" chil dren from the occupied northern dis tricts, gathering together the home loss in the war zone many of them "ittle tots living in caves and ruins and establishing relief centers. This is a feature of the work that is sure to grow with time, ar.d is certainly deserving of all the support that American money can give it. f Fighting the high death rate from tuberculosis is a branch which will also grow in importance. Half a mil lion people in France have been added to the rolls of the tubercular as a direct result of the war. Control of the plagu- is not only vitally impor-t-nt to France, but also to the health of American troops quartered in the' country. Most of this work is being done by native French workers. Such relief work in France cannot be called pure altruism from the na tional standpoint. France is in need of the assistance because the majority of her men are it. the army. Our own military forces require preparation, but into the medical and relief work we are able to throw a considerable number of trained people from the beginning. Civilian relief work has a thousand other branches, all of them impor tant. The rebuilding of ruined vil lages, for example, has called for a large sum. The branches of military relief are better known, including hos pitals, canteens, ambulance work and so forth. Altogether. $40,000,000 will probably be needed in France up to the 30th of April of this .year. By that time the organiratiori will be op erating on a scale which will require large sums for its upkeep, in addition to what may be necessary for expan sion, but there is little doubt tlat any necessary funds will be forthcoming when the American people realize the need. The most important reeent-develop-men in the Red Cross program has been the increase of money appropri ated for Italian relief. The recent Italian retreat made hundreds of thousands of civilians hungry and homeless. An emergency appropria tion of almost $5,000,000 was made to meet the situation, and the work was rushed to the greatest possible extent. Not only was physical relief prowided, but an indirect result of the work proved of unexpected importance. This was the political effect of the presence of American relief workers. American ambulances and American food. The entire Italian nation was TO KANSAS. I give ynn the Vmnd of all the best, 'Tis KanaHS, Not- South nor North, not Bast nor West.

One tale that the Germans spread was to the effect that the United States would not stand by Italy because we feared to antagonize Austria-Hungary. American Red Cross work was the only means available for counteracting this falsehood, for no American troops could be sent, and congress was not in session to put the nation on record." But the Red Cross workers succeeded in .dispelling the misapprehension. As the man in charge cabled, '.'Whatever we have don or failed to do, we have raised the American flag from one end of Italy to the other." Gauged by -the size of Hie appro priations, the greater part of Red Cross work abroad in the immediate future will be done in France. After France comes Italy, and then Belgium and Rumania. A recent investigating commission showed Serbia in dire need of assistance. Never before has such a sum total of human misery confronted the world's relief workers. The expan sion of the American Red Cross en ables America to take part in the task commensurate with her wealth and Importance. So far, the work has been done economically and efficient ly, in a business-like way, and so long ?f 1 cont,nes to be the case, the Red Cross can count on the united support of the people.

A UZW AY Brave Deeds of Men In America's Fighting Service Aviators In the naval service were the first detachment of Americans to arrive in France in operations against the enemy. These men reached for eign soli on navy vessels three weeks before the first army transports had arrived with the first army forces. In making this possible and in getting ready for their work, two of the men lost their lives in flight work.- One of these was Louis Reinhardt. sea man, second class, who enlisted at Norfolk- in March, 1916. His pre vious naval service had been but five months. Reinhardt was born in 1897 In New York City, his mother being Mrs. Agnes Reinhardt of 324 East 6th street. He is buried in France. ON SOT MOMENT Y BO Y R. MOVJLTOlt DOKOTHT MX. TALES BY DOROTHY DIX World's Blskeat Pml Woasaa WriU Old Fashion! Parents and New Fashioned Girls. Not long ago- pelghbors reported to the police that In a certain house In this city a young girl was being held a prisoner, and that thy had seen her making frantic appeals for help. In vestigation disclosed that the girl's mother's mind had become so affected by the many lurid stories she had read and heard of white slavery and the dangers to which young girls are ex posed in a great city that she had locked her daughter in a back room and kept her there for over six months in solitary confinement. Now comes another tragic story of a New Jersey father who shot his 17-year-old daughter dead because she had disobeyed him and had gone to come innocent place of amusement. He also had become obsessed by the idea that the only way to keep a girl safe is to keep her home, right under his eye, away from all other young people, and prevent her -from indulg ing in any of the pleasures that be long to her time of life. Of course these are exaggerated cases showing the effect produced on the minds of morbid people by the many warnings that pulpit and press have given parents to take care of their daughters. It is a pity that in order to make the general public take ordinary precautions against any dan ger you have to scare the few timid individuals into hysterics, but there seems no way to avoid it. It is regrettable that some parents should have been turned into jailers to keep many parents from letting their daughters run wild. And it is a terrible thing that because some sweet faced, gray haired, motherly looking women have been the wolf dressed up in grandma's cap and gown who lured young girls to their doom, we have had to teach girls to look with suspicion upon all sweet faced, gray haired, motherly old women, and to call for the police instead of flying to the rescue of such a one when she ap peared to grow faint and asked for a strong young arm on which to Jean. And it is sadder than sad that be" cause a small minority of men are vil lains we must begin to teach gin babies in their cradles that' they must be forever on their guard against all men, thereby creating an occasional man hater in order to save the many.

When shall one drive with Z t re'? 1!nd when with curb? "ow r sha one let one s children flT. ..W much rlBht have they to decide thing:, for themselves7 1 VVS" are hard auons to answer and they are particularly hard to an swer when one is dealing with the modern girl. The old fashioned girl or mother's and grandmother's time, who was cage bred and expected to live and die in a cage, could bo 'made to stay put. She was utterly dependent on her parents for food and raiment. She knew nothing of the outside world and would have been as helpless in it as a canary bird turned out into a bliz zard. Therefore, it was easy to en force obedience from her and make her accept her parentis' point of view. Nor did her parents have to worry about the dangers that she encoun tered. They were as negligible as those of a lamb that is kept safe in the fold. r But the modern girl is a different pair oi sleeves. She is economically independent. At least millions of her earn their own living. When she goes forth to work in the morning she goes to a world of which her mother knows as little as if it were on the other side of the globe instead of just downtown. Every hour of the day she is up against conditions, temptations, dan gers of which her mother never even heard, and which her mother either ignores in her ignorance or exagger-' ates into weird bogies thru her fears. It is utterly ridiculous to even talk about dealing with the -new fashioned girl on the old fashioned platfoftm. When a girl achieves financial inde pendence on her own account she has graduated out of the kindergarten class and received her diploma in real life. She is no longer a baby to be bidden to do this and that aqd sent to bed without any .supper if she doesn't obey orders. If a self-supporting girl obeys her parents it is thru affection and re spect, and not because she is afraid of them or can't get along without them and parents are very wise if they remember this and go very lightly on the do-nestic tyranny stuff. In former times parents consid ered that they had a divine commis sion from heaven to decide every act of their children's lives, and particu larly of their girl children. This theory also becomes untenable in the face ef the self-supporting girl. It is a joke even to contend that a girl is capable of taking care of herself the eight or ten hours a day that she is away from home at work, and isn't capable of taking care of herself dur ing her few hours of leisure, or that the girl who has .ntelligence and judgment enough to hold down a good job hasn't- enough intelligence and good judgment to pick out her friends or to go to "a place of amusement alone with a young man. Tet there are plenty of parents who are trying to do the best by their daughters and yet do not realize this. They honestly think they are' remov ing temptation from their girl's path way when they take away the girl's pay envelope so that she will not spend its contents on pretty clothes, and when they refuse to let her go out to places of amusement in the evening or to have .young people come in to see her. "Girls didn't always have to be gad ding the streets, or going out to dances and moving pictures and the- J aters in my day," they say self- righteously. They forget that In their day girls didn't sit cooped up in an office all day pounding on a type writer, or didn't stand behind a coun ter with every nerve keyed to a breaking point in an effort to please fractious customers and unreasonable floor walkers until at night every fibre and nerve.in a girl's body shrieks out for relaxation, amusement, diversion, change. Anyway, you can no more fit the moral precepts of forty years ago on a girl of today than you can the clothes of forty years ago. .They wouldn't meet onAer. We've got the natural waist line now, figuratively and spiritually. Between the parents who are too lax with their daughters and those who are too stern, the lax do the least harm, for It is eternally true that stolen- waters are sweet, and the things, that we are most forbidden to do are the things we are most deter mined to do. Forbid a girl innocent pleasures and she'll take the guilty ones. Stern parents have driven far more girls s way from h,ome than lax ones ever permitted to carelessly wan der away. Parents must protect their daugh ters, but the only way in which they can do it is to be friends and chums with them and subtly guide them along the right road. Nobody was ever yet coerced Into being good, or kept good by being locked up in a jail. (Copyright, 1918. Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) LETTEKS OF TOO WOMEN BY ZOB BXCKLEY. When to Administer a Shock. Still at the Strange Hotel, Monday. My Kate: After I wrote you my last letter, something wild seemed to seize upon me. It was as if I had drunk of some strange, subtle wine! I felt myself suddenly the heroine of a wild adven tude. I resolved to play it thru, come what might. If I won the peace and happiness I crave, well and good, and I would be grateful to whatever gods there be! I lose, never mind, I will turn my back upon the past and dare the future to down me! A woman can do nothing unless she is dressed for her part! The spirit of this strange desert town pervaded me and I longed for the outer trappings that should harmonize me with it, and with the mood that had taken posses sion 'of mo. Kate. I ran across from the hotel to a shop where the Mojave Indians sell their curious wares. With an inward thrill that the stolid clerk had no suspicion of. I picked and chose from his st-ck of embroid ered and beadwork, certain bits of adornment that I knew would give me a totally unfamiliar yet attractive exterior! Among the- "odd pieces, marked down," I found u cotton blouse printed in curious Indian dyes and so shaped that with a few touches here and there it would be as smart as something bought at an exclusive Fifth avenue shop. Then I hunted out a beautiful beaded girdle and a couple of queer hand-wrought silver bracelets set with turquoise matrix. I hurried back to my room and be fore my mirror tried different ways of doing my hair ways that would be foreign to me, yet pretty and with a dash of coquetry. I don't know what possessed me. Kits, but I did evolve a get-up that brought an ex cited tinge of red to my cheeks. And for a wild hour, I rehearsed before that mirror a hundred fascinations ':ttle tricks that would suggest a changed Maizie, a Maizie primed for anything, hopeful of everything, ten der yet self-reliant, receptive, yet re sourceful. A Maizie aggressive rather than defensive. In short, a new and I hope (Gold help me!) an interest ing Maizie! Somehow I lived thru the hours -until the transcontinental train was due. Then, (and Kate, I swear to you it was as if some power outside myself upheld and spurred me on! I flung on a widebrimmed white felt hat that I had found at a miraculous bargain in the Indian shop, and for a mo ment held my breath as I heard the 1 yiu hits blii upuii l lie Hiauoa SO close beneath my windows. Down I rushed. I believe the first man off the train was Curtis. Flinging a desperate fragment of prayer from my soul outward upward somewhere everywhere I flew toward him, hands outstreehed. His face was set in a stiff half smile, like a selfconscious school boy about to recite something his whole future depended upon. He saw me, tried to keep his old habitual .unre sponsiveness of manner, was shaken out of himself by surprise at my changed air and outfit, hesitated an instant, then abruptly dropped his bag and his reserve his character istic, lifelong, bred-in-the-bone re- Server and swept me into his arms.

TELEGRAM from MAY BOND to KATE DANSKOI: All is well darling. Am out of Pur gatory. Heaven is good. Am writ ing details. by itnua. Isla le Mujercs. Fortified by grim rocks from the winu-d riven waves of the Yucatan channel lies the Isla de Mujeres. Isle of the Women. The Spaniards on a voyage in search of gold in the six teenth century were tossed up on this island, where they found no gold, but had an interesting time. When they started on an exploring tour of the Island they came upon a stone temple. Lured by the fumes of incense, they entered and saw many idols repre senting goddesses, clothed in cotton garments. Officiating at the ceremon ies were women dressed In bright cot tons, and decked out with feathers and ornaments of precious metals. The Spaniards, excited by this scene of Idol worship, rushed in, smashed the idols, triumphantly placed an image of the Virgin on the altar, and held mass beforethe eyes of tyhe cstomshed priestesses and native wor shippers. Archaeologists have never ceased .to regret the fervor of the Spaniards, who thus unheedingly de stroyed unique treasures of Mayan civilization. The Spaniards named the place Isla de Mujeres for futuro reference and sailed away. The frightened Mayans deserted their shrine. For years the Isla' de Muieres lay still and forsaken. Gradually it awakened., A fishing vil lage grew up near the ancient altars, and ths Yucatecans hunt the hawk billed turtle where once Indian maid ens swung their censers and chanted their prayers. The pueblo of the island is a replica of any other in Yucatan. It has its square, its apology for a jail and court house. Its sandy streets. Its cot tages are stuccoed and heavily thatched to keep out the scorching sun. The Isla de Mujeres has awak ened, but not to the olden days of which it dreamed while it slept. EVEMNG STOET r On Old Smokey. BY SUSAN E. CLAGETT. (Copyright. 1818. by McCture Newspaper Syndicate.) "You are in earnest?" "Deadliest earnest, Mac. In the Carolina pines you will have more than a fighting chance. Here there is no chance. Six months would be an that I could promise you, and that the quietest kind .of a life. On Old Smokey you would be close to nature. That is what you need." Charles McDermott glanced' about his small apartment, then toward the window, where his eye rested upon the trees in the square. "Yours is the third opinion I have had. Jack; I would not believe what the others told me. It was too absurd. What you say goes. I do not under stand it at all, and if it weren't that I hate a quitter I would stay here. I really have nothing to live for. I lost everything I possessed when McCune failed." "Everything?" "Oh, there's enough to finance this scTleme of yours, if it is a close-to-nature project." V. The doctor looked up, his attention caught by a note in- the voice. "I thought Mary entered rather largely into your plan of life?" McDermotfs face whitened. "Not now." he answered steadily. "Where would you have me go?" "I have a cabin high un on Old Smoky. There is wood, for the picking up and a. clearing1 about it large enougn tor you to raise garden truck, and "Heavens, man! Do you expect me to dig?" "Dig and shoot and chop wood, as soon as strength comes. A little of some one thing each day. Haven't rorgotten how to shoot, have you?" "I might hit a barn door if it was large enough." "Set up a target as soon as you get there.' Your meat supply will de pend upon your own efforts, unless the mountain people take a fancy to you. Don'F let the end of the week find you here. I will make such arrangements as are r.-ecessary, and I may drop in upon you later for a couple of days' turkey shooting. And remember," he said as he was about to leave the room, "that an axe, a spade and a gun will be essential to your comfort." Two weeks later Charles sat In his doorway listlessly surveying what he called his stock in trade. An axe, a rifle and garden tools lay in a row in-front of him, and he had but a faint idea of the use of any. So far this fact had not bothered him, but this day he felt a faint stirring in his blood that suggested returning appe title, and the tang in the air meant that wood must be stored if he was to-be comfortable. Nevertheless, he looked at his tools with growing dis taste, and it was with, a certain de gree of resentment that he caught sight of two children watching him with shy curiosity. For a moment he glared at them then smiled. They sidled closer, and the boy picked up the rifle from the ground. "Say, Mister, my paw kin beat everyone hyacerbouts shootin' turkeys. Kin you shoot this hyar gun It's dif frunt from his'n." "Xo: and I'm afraid I'm not smart enoueh to learn." j x The boy looked'at Blm in wonderi-K" "Can't? Yore older'n me ah'. "Use killed twelve. Sold 'em all." "What are you going to do with the money?" Charles asked Idly. "Dunno, 'cept me'n Mollie wants crackers. Say, how many crackera'U twelve turks buy?" "More than you can eat, I fancy." "Don't mean eaUn' kind. I means them things thot goes off an' make a nolst like a lot of li'l guns." "Fire-crackers?" The boy nodded. "Maw says she'll see we gitth' money, thot it's arned, but paw he say it'll have to go to buy vittles." A gleam of interest came into Mc Dermotfs eyes. "Which will win, crackers or vittles?" "Reckin it'll be vittles." For a mo ment he looked downcast and the girl 'edged nearer to him. "Anyhow, me'n Mollie have to eat, an' as we c ain't eat crackers reckin we kin git erlong 'thout 'em." "What did ypu want them for?" "Christmas. Most e"erybody hyar on Ol' Smokey has 'em Chrismus, 'cept me'n Mollie." "Don't you have them Fourth of July?" The child looked puzzled, then shook his head. For some time Charles sat silent, pondering a plan that had suddenly come to him. "I wonder." he said at last, "if your father would let you teach me how to shoot; and if Mollie can tidy up the cabin once in a while you might get the crackers after all." The youngster's face brightened, then became gloomy. "Paw, he won't 'low us nohow to have 'em." "We can try, and if you don't mind I will got with you now. I would like a partridge for my supper." "Then I reckin I'd 'hes' go alone If yo're hungry- Mollie'll take you to see paw." Fortunately for his plan. Charles found Jeff Wade st home, and after considerable dickering with the surly faced mountaineer, whom he instinc tively disliked at sight, he gained his consent. Young Jeff was to supply him with meat for a stipulated sum; Mrs. Wade would keep the cabin com fortable, and with a lighter heart than he had known since he had come to Old Smokey he went back to the cab in, and was extremely surprised by a blazing fire and the smell of cooking. Jeff had not only brought In birds, but had them ready, smoking hot. New blood did not make rapidly, and McDermott's days of depression Overshadowed the moments when he felt a tingling in his being that' sug gested returning health. A little ex ercise tired him to exhaustion. Then he wondered why he tried to prolong life that had nothing in it to live for. This, taken with the soughing of the' pines, the very baldness of the life he led, the loneliness of it, almost forced him to give up. Loneliness! How he longed for the sight of the avenue, a- glimpse of the Capitol as he had last seen it thru the naked trees, an hour in the quiet room that had be come his haven of rest. When his thoughts reached this far he usually called a halt, but Christmas eve, as he sat with his letters in his hand, brought from Bakersville by the older Wade, such a wave of heart sickness overmastered him that he went far down into the shadow. But resolutely he brought his mind back to his surroundings, and glanced around the bare room littered with the cleanly litter of tissue paper and tin sel. In one corner stood a glorified tree. At its base were piles of fire crackers, pinwheels and all the other noise-making things that gladden most children on the Fourth of July, used instead in the mountains on Christ mas day. There were also gifts. His hostess of the quiet room had seen to that, for he had written to her at lasC"" But save for following out his wlsnea there was no word from her. He had honed, for a Una. Manlike. fee thought she must have understood why he had left without a word more than friendliness; that she must have known he could say nothing, with for tune gone and health so far away that it was not discernible. And even now he had only John's word that it would return after a year or two in tne mountains. He heaved a heaw sia-h. as he sat about straightening out the room, then paused, as he heard footsteps. Before he could reach the door- it was flung open and the children rushed in, fol lowed by their mother. There was such an air of suppressed excitement about them that he looked at them perplexed. They were wild about the tree. That he knew, for he could not forego the pleasure of having them help him trim it. But this was some thing deeper. He drew Mollie toward him as she rose on tiptoes to whisper in his ear. and Jeff said' scornfully, "Now, ain't thot jes like a gal?" and her mother said sharply, "Mollie!" Mollie giggled, and as she slipped away the door was flung open a sec- ond time Charles stood transfixed, then started forward with hands out stretched. "Jack!" with an effort Tie controlled his voice. "And your sister!" "We couldn't miss the celebration, Mac. and came on from Ashville. Mrs. Wade knew, sfnd has prepared a royal feast." "An' I killed the turkey," Jeff said proudly. "It weighs twenty pounds, an' if we don' git to eatin" it'll be cold. -I toted it up." Charles put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Let us have the fireworks first, Jeff," he said unsteadily. "Dr. Jack loves fireworks, and will make it livelier for you than I." Then he turned to the woman who had made a movement to follow the others. "Not just yet, Mary. We must have a talk first." He hesitated an instant, then asked, "Jack has told you?" "Something, not all. I have come to learn the rest." She leaned for ward, holding her hands to the fire. "Yet I know. Charles. It is because I know that 1 have brought you a Christmas gift." He did not misunderstand her. "Mary, Mary, how can I accept it? Jack may be wrong. Even if he is right I have nothing to offer you. I will have to begin again at the very bottom." She passed this by as she looked about. "The room is somewhat bare, but a rug on the floor, some maga zines and books; a shaded lamp, and you will not know it." "When," he asked hoarsely. The transition to happiness from the des pair of an hour before left him all but speechless. "W'hen you wish." There was a tremor in her voice as she went on: "Did you really think I would let you give me up? Jack told me. but there was no need. I knew without the, telling." Wheat and Sugar-Saving IH-Mgcrts.

Flavor with vanilla or any preferred flavoring Bak about forty L.inutes. Whole Wheat Pudding Two cups whole wheat meal, one-half teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon salt, one cup milk (sour or sweet), one-half cup molasses, one cup stoned dates. Put fruit into meal and mix until thor oly floured; add soda, salt, milk and molasses. This will make a very soft batter, but the dry fruit absorbs a great deal of moisture. Steam three hours in closed mold. Serve with any plain pudding sauce or whipped or beaten cream. If sour millj. is used add one level teaspoon; soda instead of one-half teaspoon. Raisins, figs, stewed prunes or any other preserved fruit or chopped sweet apples make a pleasing va riety, i This is good and inexpensive. Rice Pudding Wash cup of rice thorsly, cover with a quart or more water, boil until fender. Add cup of milk and two tablespoons sugar, boil a few minutes: flavor with lemon, vanilla r maple flavoring, which gives it a nutty taste. Plain gelatin makes a pretty de-: sert by adding a couple of oranges or any fruit. Plain Junket is good, too. One tablet makes a quart when added to a quart of milk, and needs but one tablespoon sugar and one teaspoon any- flavoring. Cornstarch pudding is nice. Add ing cocoa to it makes a chocolate pudding.

The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a tea spoonful of Canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist, 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 in- stead of just toth5 top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and even ly, developing a bright lustre and a soft flufflness that makes it seem very heavy.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1918 STENOSARE HERE Association of Shorthand Re porters In Session Today. First Meeting Held at Court House This Afternoon. GLD TIMERS ARE DISCUSSED Days When They Worked Longhand Recalled. In Kansas City, Kan., Ladies on Afternoon Program. While district- judges are meeting at the state house, their stenographers are holding their annual meeting in the first division of the Shawnee county district court. The stenograph ers have a regular organization known at the Kansas Shorthand Reporters' association. The association will be in session here today and tomorrow. The meeting opened this afternoon with a paper on "The Outlook for Court Reporting.' by George I. Barnes of Wichita. Richard Coyle of Great Bend, recited interesting reminiscences of court reporting in the old days. It is hard to imn ine a court with out a reporter taking: down testimony. But such was the case not many years ago. Memory took the place of short hand notes, longhand substituted for the typewriter. Needless, to add that arguments- over testimony were many and heated. Must Be Accurate Now. On the other hand, there were not as many words necessary in filing briefs and other court records. Today every record even to the crossing of a "t" is available. It was unanimously agreed that the stenographers in the senate and house at Washington are the highest priced in the country. They receive $6,600 a year for probably the hardest and roost intensive work imaginable. These stenographers must follow speakers around the room, take down statistics, be thoroly familiar with every subject before the public and be absolutely accurate. They work in relays of ten and twenty minutes. While one man takes notes the others are talking into dictaphones. Among Those Present. At, noon today the following court stenographers had reported at the meeting: Richard Coyle. Great Bend; Vernon Ij. Grant, Emporia; A. E. Fogelberg, Hutchinson; Mrs. Pearl Bal! Hall, Beloit; A. O. Justice, Osage City; Miss llime Middaugh. Kansas Citv. Kan.: C C. Hardy, Manhattan; Oeortre A. Kline, Topeka, and C. D. Wellman, Topeka. Subjects for discussion during the day include a paper on "Rates and Charges," by the Misses Lura and Mettle Middaugh. of Kansas City; a discussion of "Transcript Rates in Kansas," by V. L. Grant, Emporia; a paper on "Future Legislative Action by the Association," by C. D. Wellman, c Topeka, KIDNAPERS TO PRISON 'I- V- Adams and Son to Sch-e'iS and 10 Years, Respectively, li Pen. x I Tan 9Q Tavlnr H iuaiauiinu. .,,v., Adams and his son, Cletus Adams, under sentences of fifteen' and ten years, respectively, for complicity in the Springfield kidnaping plots were taken to the state penitentiary this afternoon in custody of Sheriff Ward Mackey and a deputy.

HUN SPY ABOARD Tried To Sink Supply leadened Steam er by Opening Sea Cocks. Halifax. X. S., Jan. 29. A deliberate attempt to sink a supply laden steamer bound from American to an allied port, by opening her sea cocks during a storm at sea, was revealed here to ilav with her arrival here. She docked just- in time to prevent her foundering. That an enemy spy, or spies, was aboard is believed certain, but officials have withheld all information. The attempt to sink the vessel was rnaile several hundred miles at sea. BEAUTIFUL HAIR THICK. WAVY, FREE FROM DANDRUFF Draw a moist doth through hair rd donble its beauty ,'.3-. v? at once. Save your hair! Dandruff dis- appears and hair stops coming out. IrArnedjate? Yes! Certain? that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light? wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap pears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after an application of Danderine. Also try this moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil, and in just a few mo ments you have doubled the beauty of xour hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neg lected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every panrticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig orates the scalp, forever stopping itch ing and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks' 'use, when you see new hair fine1 and downy at first yes but really new hair growing all over the scalp.

It is not customary for a grand opera star to make a rival for Wm self, but Joseph F. Sheehan is as un usual as a man as he is as a singer so when, three yeaj-s ago a young tenor, John W.

Campbell, United States commissioner, in the postoffice building, according to word received here today from Kansas City. Doctor Koerber was indicted by a federal grand Jury January 20. An nouncement of his arrest Monday was not made until today. The indict ment is based upon a statement Koerber is alleged to have made to the chairman of a Chautauqua at Rus sell, Kan., September 6 last. He is said to have gone to the committee chairman, a banker, and protested against denunciation of pro-Germanism by Chautauqua lecturers there. He told the banker, according to Fred D. Robertson, United States district attorney for Kansas, that if any further anti-German remarks' were made at the Chautauqua he would "clean out the whole place He Cursed the United States. "I am a pro-German and I don't care who knows it," Koerber is said to have declared. Reminded that his utterances would get him into trouble Koerber is alleged to have responded: "Damn the United States govern ment. It can come and get me if it wants to." According to Robertson, about two years ago Doctor Koerber was the pro moter of a rifle club at Russell, the organization which led to extensive reports that the men were Germans and were drilling in preparation for war upon the United States in event war was declared with Germany. "We were able to establish definite ly Doctor Koerber's connection with that organization." Mr. Robertson said today. "However, the members were insistent that the club was organized for recreation purposes only and we were never able to establish anything to the contrary." Mr. Robertson said. Doctor Koerber was born in Stutt gart, Germany, and became a natural ized citizen in 1900, according to Rob ertson. The remarks to the Chautau qua chairman which led to his indict ment were made on the physician's birthday, Mr. Robertson said. Doctor Koerber lived in Russell until a few months ago when he moved to Hois ington. FAIL TO PROVEMURDER New Evidence "After Six Years Over Death of Runaway Boys. Marshfleld, Mo., Jan. 29.

WAR PLANT BURNS $500,000 Fire Believed To Hare Been Started by Spies. Alcohol Tanks Blow Ui -Was Working on Army Contracts. Marquette, Mich.. Jan. 29. An ex plosion followed by a fire early today, which destroyed the alcohol refining plant, the primary building and a se ries of condensers of the Pioneer Iron Furnace company, owned by the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company of Cleveland, O-, caused damage estimat ed at $500,000. First reports of the explosion said a number of lives had been lost, but at daylight it was believed there was no loss of life and that only two men had been injured, altho the-casualty list can not be definitely determined until the company rolls have been checked over. For a- time the fire threatened to destroy the entire plant, a portion of which is employed in manufacturing alcohol and the ground chemicals of explosives for the United States and the allied governments, but after a two hours' light the flames were brought under control by the Mar-o-uette and the plant (ire departments. The plant, which covers several acres of ground, is situated one and a half miles from this city. Narrow Escape for Workers. The explosion which started the fire at 1:30 o'clock this morning, disrupted the automatic sprinkler system and made leaks in the water mains lead ing tc the plant, which covers several blocks outside the city proper. To render the task of the firemen more difficult, a steam pipe which was part of an auxiliary pumping machine at the plant burst. That there was no serious loss of life probably was due to the fact that most of the employes in the alcohol refining plant were in the boiler room eating lunch. The building. crumpled like a house of blocks at the explo sion and windows a mile and a half away were broken. One after an other condensers containing elements of high explosives blew up and flames spread from the refinery to the pri mary chemical, the barrel and the storage houses and tanks. Forces Ixmg Idleness. The plant is a wreck. The immedi ate loss, $500,000, is regarded less serious than that of the resultant idle ness, as it is said the machinery,. mucn or wmcn was brought into be- ing by the war and very difficult to replace, cannot be fully reassembled inside nine months. The company had been working night and day on government con tracts. In the absence of any theory to ac count for the accident the belief in a malignant outside cause is held.

To Counteract German Propa ganda of Misrepresentation. New Tork, Jan. 29. "The United States will in no ease be the aggressor against either the political depend ence or the territorial integrity of any rXr state- nation." declared Pres ident Wilson in a letter made public today with his consent. At the same time," he continued, she is proposing and insisting upon similar pledges from all the nations of the world who have its peace at heart and are willinp to associate themselves for the maintenance of that peace. t 'The very strength of her appeal in this direction comes fram the fact that she is willing to bind herself and give pledges of the utmost solemnity for her own good faith and disinterested ness." The letter was addressed to Roy W. Howard, president of the United Press, on the eve of hia departure for South America. It was in reply to a letter in which Howard called attention to the widespread efforts still being made by German propagandists In South America to misinterpret the purpose of the president in urgrng other Amer ican republics to join in the fight "to make the world safe for democracy." It is the president's opinion that the German propagandist in South Amer ica has about exhausted hi3 effective ness and that siowly but surely a clear understanding of the true attitude and purposes of the United States is be coming general in the southern re publics.

It will not stain, is not greasy or sticky and is positively safe for tender, sensitive skins. Th S W. Rom Cx. Cleveland. O I Advertise mer.t.1 I do not know what reply to make to the first question your letter propounds. Certainly I never had anything in mind in regard to co-operation among neutrals which would be particularly advantageous to the United States. My thought was only to unite the opinion of the world so far as I could in protesting against the flagrant violations of right and of international Justice which liad been committed. At no stage of this distressing war have I ever entertained the slightest idea of making any combination for the special benefit of the United Htates. My thought has been merely the establishment of international justice and humane dealing and the safe guarding of universal interests. "With regard to the question whether the war and the participation of the United States in It baa served to strenethen the common bond between the democracies of the western hemisphere I will say I think it has. I think that thoughtful men in all the democracies of that hemisphere are beginning to see the reitl purpose and ehnracter of the United States. She is offering in every proposal that she makes to give the most sacred pledges on her part that she will in no ease be the ag gressor against either the political inde pendence or the territorial integrity of any other state or nation, at tha same time that she is proposing and insisting upon simitar pledges from all the nations of the world who have Its peace at heart and are willing to associate themselves for the maintenance of that peace. The very strength of her appeal in this direction eoms from, the fact that she is willing to bind herself and give pledges of the utmost solemnity for her own good faith and disinterestedness. If this is under stood, there could be no question of fear or suspicion. 1 am very mucn interested to learn or your propose J return to Latin America', and I wish you bon voyage with the greatest heartiness. f "Cordially und 8incere:y touts.

The letter is particularly significant at this time because it is known for several months the government has be err cognisant of the insidious effects of the German agents in South America.- The Germans maintained an ef fective organization thruout the con tinent, which for a long time the United States had no effective means of combating. The improvement in the situation is attributed to the policy of the United States in seeking nothing for itself except what it asks for every other democracy in the world. That the real aims and objectives of this coun try have finally been made clear is attributed to a large extent to the im proved exchange of news between the Northern and Southern continents, the lower .cable rates and the efforts of the committee on public information. The South American diplomats at Washington, in close touch with the actions and policies of the United States are said to have 'contributed materially to establishing the better understanding.

In any event there is absolute certainty that the de fenseless voter on foot the plain, ordinary citizen on foot who doesn't attend state-wide' political banquets must card index and cross catalog the men and women who are anxious to. serve the public. Allen's Friends Busy. Henry J. Allen, a dominant char acter in the gubernatorial scramble,' is not nere for the banquet. He is on his way to France to care for Ameri can soldiers in the trenches and in the hospitals. But, Allen's candidacy isn't having an idle moment in the day's milling in the hotel lobbies. The big crowd which came from every fac tion and wing of the party to attend the Allen booster meeting ten .days ago is back working. And it came back with reinforcements and new re cruits. James A. Troutman, W. T. Morgan, S. M. Brewster, A. M. Keene all are here in person. Their friends are also here. All are working faithfully. But somewhere tonight or tomorrow Allen will receive a message from his cam paign managers that his candidacy was not overlooked or forgotten, and did not suffer in his absence.

Bristow, are on the job in their own behalf. Governor Capper, Charleo F. Scott and Walter Roscoe Stubbs are right out in the middle of the milling. They are shaking hundreds of hands and hold ing scores of conferences. Nor do the loyal patriots who came to the dinner f'rgot their duty. Great Day for Candidates. Tt fa a great day for the candidates the happy, hopeful day and the big event preceding the August primaries. No matter what the situation in .the state may be. No matter what the returns next August may bring. Every candidate today is on a footing. He has a willing audience. He may paint his chances and hopes in the colors of the rainbow. No one nas either the time, the inclination or tho cruelty of heart to question a single word.

Jury Problem One of Real Se riousness These Days. WOMEN MAY BE SOLUTION Necessary To Fill Ranks of Men Now in the Army. Trouble To Keep Them Awake Wheu They Bring Knitting.. War has brought its trials and trou bles- to the Kansas district court judges. In Topeka today for their an nual convention, the court Judges of fered any number of problems which the war situation has presented. One nr th. wail troubles of the Judges is th. Jury problem. Wherein there Is a prospect that the Kansas woman may again answer the call to fill the ranks of Tnen in army service. To be sure the present law permits women to sit on Juries. In a number of counties it has been tried. But in a number of cases the women "either in sisted -on bringing their knitting or went to sleep. Anyway, those were some of the complaints which came from the 'awyers and Judges. But now there Is a probability that many district judges will attempt to meet the trouble by urging the calling of more women for jury service. Judge J-. O. Rankin of Paola. who presides over the Tenth judicial dis trict,' Soday pointed out the Jury trou bles to the district judges at thetr con vention in the supreme court rooms of the state house. Judge Rankin told the convention the calling of hundreds of men for jury service had brought about all manner of trouble in uispos 'ins of court work. Farmers are too busy to serve, mechanics are employed full time, merchants and doctors can not leave their shops and offices. Yet tho law provides the safeguard ot jury trials. And the Judges in Topeka to day are looking for relief with wo men the only probable answer. Another war trouble in this war time concerns suits against any sol diers who have gone to the front and let the world and their loved ones and creditors do the worrying. Judge John C. Hogan of Belleville, judge of the Twelfth district, came to Topeka to discuss the subject. He wants to know correct course in event of divorce ac- tions, foreclosures and other suits against men who are in France fight ing Tor the,co!ors. And a number of judges in the convention have a few more questions. Discuss Parole System. The parole system was discussed to day by Judge D. A. Banta of Great Bend, judge of the Twentieth distriet. "Should the provisions of the code giving attorneys the right to inspect instructions before they are read, be repealed?" was the subject of a dis cussion by Judge Oscar Foust ot Iola, judge of the Thirty-seventh district. Judge F. F. Prigg of Hutchinson, in the Ninth .district,, discussed methods of speeding up the trial and disposi tion oi cases penaing in the district courts of the state. Judge Prigg urged the Kansas judges to clean their dock ets and to hasten the trial of pending litigation. Judge Edward C. Gates of Fort Scott was listed for a late after noon speech on unanimous verdicts in civil cases involving less than $500. Judge Gates urged the repeal of the existing law. A law permitting discretionary oral or written instructions in civil cases was urged by Judge William C. Harris of Emporia, the Fifth Judicial district. Attendance of district Judges for to day s sessions was large. Practically all of the judges will remain for the Kansas day banquet tonight and the sessions of the State Bar association which open Wednesday morning. STILL SEARCH HOMES Herington Railroad Scandal Grows Daily May Implicate 150 Men. -Herington, Kan., Jan. 29. Herin& ton's railway steal scandal is growing in details daily. It is predicted freely by officials now that probably 160 ent ployes of the Rock Island will be im plicated in the looting that has been going on for many years. Already twenty-six well know and formerly trusted enginemen and trainmen have been discharged. It has been brought out that in one instance, a train crew "stuck" a hog on a train east of Herington, stopped the train, threw the hog out on to the right of way and then sent an automo bile out after it.

If a. good start means anything, Washburn college Is liable to upset some dope in the Kansas conference basketball race despite the fact that the Ichabods lost three valuable prac tice weeks and two of their best play era thru the efforts of the faculty to discontinue the sport. The first game of the revised schedule was played Monday night on the Thomas gymna sium floor and the Washburn quintet succeeded in annexing the long end of a 33 to 31 score from Midlard col lege after a hotly contested battle. Having the advantage of longer training and previous games, the Mid landers took the lead in the early part of the game and held it at the end of the half when the score was 18 to 16 in favor of the visitors. However, the Washburn quintet staged a rally and finished just two joints to the good. Crowd Was Enthusiastic. Foort and Sam Heller and Cossman ditl the best work for the Ichabods and were in the game every minute of the time, Poort probably having the edge in the matter of individual hon ors. Captain Stahl and Sisty did the I most spectacular playing for the Mid- On account of the severe cold weather there was not a large crowd of spectators at the game. However, a good turn out of students is expect ed Wednesday evening when the team will match skitl with the College of I Emporia team, one of the "higher ups in tne conference race. Much disappointment has come to the students and the players over the inability of the Washburn ambulance players to get furloughs to come to Topeka for a game the latter part of the week. All arrangements were made for entertaining the war heroes and the basketball management was prepared to bear all the expense of the game and give the entire proceeds to the soldiers. It is hoped the Camp Pike team will make application for leave of absence later on and that a game can be arranged some time be fore it leaves for France. Monday Night's Line Up.

RANKS BIG STARS Veiock Picks the Xine Best Baseball Performers. Cobb and Alexander Undoubt edly Country's Greatest. BY JACK VEIOCK: Xew York, Jan. 29. Who is the best third baseman in the business to day? Chicago fans will shou.t the name of Buck Weaver. Philly bugs will war ble Milton Stock. The same variance of opinion is found everywhere. Ask a score of fans to name the best players in all positions and you would get a score of different answers. The baseball bug sets up his idols and worships them. His opinions will not parallel your own. Cobb and Alexander have national reputations. They are recognized stars But there are many others; not as widely advertised, but just as valu able in many ways for their consis tency. Must Be Balanced. Hitting, fielding and base running ability must be balanced In a ball player to make him highly valuable. Great hitters who cannot field are not of much value except as pinch per formers at the bat. And the player who cannot hit, but is a curly wolf in the field seldom sticks in the big show unless his club is blessed with unusual hitting strength and can af ford to carry one weak hitter for his fielding prowess. All fcn all, the most valuable player combines all the arts of the game and the habit of being "in there" every day, doing his bit consistently to win ball games. Of the many players hi the majors today, which is the most valuable in each position? Who's who among the shortstops, catchers or fielders? Rank Nine Mayers. For the sak of comparison we have taken nine outstanding players for each position and ranked thvm, to the best' of our judgment, all the while remembering that, in the case of pitchers, the slabber who can stand lots cf work and turn it. the greatest number of victories is the most valu able to any man's club; that the field er or catcher who deserves most credit is the one whose all-around ability would make him a valuable asset to any ons of the sixteen major league clubs. f Starting with the pitcher in the J next article, the players selected for each position will be taken up.

Under the spur of a great injustice a peace ful people can in a short time become a warlike people. Such is the change which has taken place in the Canadian people In the three and a half years since the world war began, according to Dr. C .C. Creelman, president of the Ontario Agricultural college, who ad dressed a general assembly at the Kansas State Agricultural college. Voluntarily, 400,000 men have en listed to fight in the great war, a large per cent of whom are not British sub jects by birth," said Doctor Creelman. "When the first call came for men, in less than four weeks double the num ber of men asked for had enlisted. In less than three months 35,000 men had been trained, equipped and sent to the front. Perhaps perhaps that act kept the German people out of Paris." r PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS Ask Tour Doctor About TJa DRUGS AND TOILET GOODS The Modern Drug Stoee OUT-RATE BOO Wee 10th. Telephone U.

FORSAKE THE STEER Republic County Farmers Turn Their Efforts to Dairy Cattle. Belleville, Kan., Jan. 29. Republic county is fast becoming a dairy county. Holsteins and Jerseys are taking the place of the white face and Shorthorns, and the farmer claims that with a few good cows of the dairy type he can combat the hot winds and drouth better than with the "beef steer and his sister." Within the last year the Farmers Union store at this place has received 120,534 pounds of cream from 27 customers, for which they paid $16. 710.59.

Tuesday night was the Kansas boys' night at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium andthey made the most of their opportunity. The band was there playing like Sousa's own and there were solos by Miss Georgia Ooodell of Atchison; and by husky soldiers of the regiment. There was music, and more music, and it all was good It was so good that many expressed the opinion that the other regiments would have to "go some if they expected to compete with the natives of the Sunflower state. Music has its own place in the work of the 8th division and the wishes of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood are being followed out. VV hen he lirst assumed command of the division he made plans for .music among the men just as he made plans for athletics and other forms of recreation. From his experience he knew such things help make a man a soldier. Already there ha been a big ad vance In sale of tickets for the concert to be given Wednesday and Thursday in the auditorium of the new 363rd recreation building by the famous St. Louis Symphony orchestra and Mad ame Schumann-Heink; noted concert singer.

Physicians point to save epidemic of grippe early in 1917 as one reason for the increased mortality rate. Births Properly Recorded.

Contradictory ad vices from Petrograd throw doubt on the Russian attitude towards the con tinuance of the Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations. A semi-official statement declared that Leon Trotzky, the Bol shevik! foreign minister, had not re turned to Brest-Litovsk and added that M. Kameneff, one of the Russian delegates to the conference, was going to Stockholm, London and Paris to lay before the entente governments the progress of the peace pour pavrlers. Another circumstantial report from Petrt-grad was to the effect that Trotzky had returned to the Brest Litovsk peace conference. Vote to Continue Conference. Petrograd, Jan. 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Leon Trotsky, the Bol shevlki foreign minister, and M. Kameneff left Petrograd today for Brest-Litovsk to resume the .peace negotiations with the" central powers. The congress of the councils of work men's, and soldiers' delegates, while deploring the imperialistic tenor of the German peace terms, approved all the action of the Russian delegation and charged the government to con tinue the negotiations. The oongress adopted a resolution to' the effect after the minority mare up of Minimalists and Social revolu tionists of the right, had sought vain ly to persuade the adoption of a policy flatlv against a separate peace.

The difference between this campaign and all its predecessors lies in the time and the issue. "Alien's candidacy is peculiarly a war time candidacy. We who are for him support him not alone for what he has been, but for what we know he will be one of the strong war gov ernors of this nation. Time will come in this contest when whole states may flinch and falter. We are beginning a long and bloody war. We must have in the governor's office a man who will stand four square to the assaults of the times, to the assaults of the timid and the treacherous counsellors who will counsel unjust peace or dis honorable surrender. "A governor as a leader in war time speaks for a state as well as pre sides over its executive department. Henry Allen is known all over Ameri ca. His voice will reach far. As gov ernor he will have much nationjal in fluence. He ever will lower the flag. And the only way a Republican in this campaign can let the world know how Kansas stands is to nominate and elect Henry Allen. "The other candidates may be equally patriotic But their victory will mean little inside it Kansas and nothing outside of Kansas. Allen's victory will put Kansas on the map. And put it on the map right side up. That is why factional differences are being forgotten in the Allen candi dacy.

"Mothers were feeding weakened condensed milk, -beer, strong black coffee and soda water. They don't realize what this means to a child, but even if they did, they cannot do other wise. "Municipal milk stations is what we need. Go and get your own milk and eliminate delivery and the middle 1 man." SEIZE GOLD FIRST Bolshevik Gov't Practically De clares War on Rumania.

Six years out of the poli tical spotlight haven't brought many changes in the Stubbs style of political attack. He has added a new twist or two in his rough and tumble hand shake, the crushed hat over the south eye is Just as tho it were lilted from the Boss Buster battles. And in a hand shaking, whispering campaign in the hotel lobbies with the crowd -from the home districts, Stubbs is Just as adroit and resourceful and cunning as in the old days when the Quaker was the storm center of every political row in Kansas. Fred Stanley of Wichita, Repub lican national committeeman, came to Topeka with the first crowd of Allen for governor boosters. Stanley pre sided at the sensational and spectacu- i lar Allen demonstration in Topeka ten years ago. In the last year Stanley has gathered together a meagre few hundred thousand dollars from the oil game. He has received several booms for congress, but "hasn't accepted any of them. In the hotel lobbies today C. C. Mack of Newton seemed to be the only really sure, candidate. The Republican love feast brought to ToDeka most of the Republican Btate senators and a large number of house members. That wasn't all. Sev enteen of the twenty delegates to the Chicago national convention are pres- t and voting for a Republican vic tory from senator to road overseer in the November election. Homer Hoch of Marion, editor of the Marion Record and son of E. W. Hoch, former governor, is in the Fourth district congressional race. He has made a formal announcement of his plans. And the Hoch candidacy Is certain to cause muddy water in the congressional row in the district with out mentioning the sorrows which mav later be in store for Conpressman Dudley Doolittle should Hoch be nom inated. J. N. Tincher of Medicine Lodire, r..M.t.t nf the club, is also a candi date for the Republican congressional nomination in the Seventh district and lobby dope seems to give him a big lead in the primary fight. Tincher is a big man in many ways. He is big physically which sometimes isn't such a great handicap. Several years ago a bob tailed con necting train from Kiowa te Medicine Lodge was held only when the incom ing late train carried several passen gers for the Barber county seat. One day Tincher had been trying a lawsuit in Wellington. The train to Kiowa was an hour and a half late. Tincher went to the telegrapn onice ana sent this wire to the Kiowa agent: "Please hold Medicine Lodge train for large party." When the train reached Kiowa Tincher was the only passen ger for Medicine Lodge. "Where is your large party T" asueo. tne ngem who naa neia me train. a in nsm here," said Tincher, "you can start any time now.' t The Scott following isn't sleeping on the lob. Not a bit of it. They went to work easly and didn't overlook a new arrival. They worked quietly, but earnestly and effectively. When the organization got under way, Scott's followers rented the assembly room and for an hour the workers distrib uted vocal enthusiasm and furnished new argument for their leader's nomi nation. Scott made 125 war speeches last year and has been filling an av erage of three speaking dates a week this month. L. J. PettiJohn of Dodge City, can didate for secretary of state, is here with a crowd of western Kansas boosters who would put steam and pep behind any man's campaign. A hiir hunch of strong workers came from Pettijohn's home town and a lit tle army came from the short grass counties. Nor did his following stop with the line which marks the begin ning of the big wheat belt. Petti john's wide acquaintance and friend ship augmented tne support ana a bunch of prominent eastern Kansas Renublicans are doing something more than a mere bit for his candidacy. TVioro ore tiv number of busy men in the lobbies today. But the busiest man is Ralnh Sauires. secretary of the club. It is a busy day for any man who directs a dozen business meetings, coil tiokets. runs errands and organ izes the cooks and waiters for a Hoov- erized dinner for uu nungry arm en thusiastic Kansas Republicans? w. J. Brvden's candidacy for super intendent of insurance isn't suffering a bit today. Bryden has an organiza tion at work in the notel lODoies wmcn i. hard to beat. It is a bit difficult to view the work of the Bryden or- vinlT9tMn and realize tnat isryaen is a graduate of the Osage county coal mines. Yet tiryoen was nomumu clerk of the court in his home county while he was a coal digger and was enjoying a holiday pitching a baseball game in another county. He made a high grade clerk, too. Then he went to the state insurance department and he has eained a Knowledge or insur ance that puts him in the top rank of the really clever insurance men of the state. The one woman candidate for state office. Miss Lizzie E. Wooster or Sa lina Is also here. Any woman might well be timid and hesitate before tack ling that lobby crowd. But Miss Wooster is working wltn two edged ef fect. She Is holding caucuses with the workers of both sexes. Nor is that all She is piling up a support which will mean trouble for some one In August. Old reliable rock ribbed Republi cans are here irom every section or powerful Third district. If Charles S. Huffman, adjutant general and dean of the state senate, really needed an. impetus in his campaign for lieuten ant governor, it is being provided by the Third district crowd. Down in the Third district General Huffman is an established and recognized institu tion. He might have continued in the state senate forty years by unanimous consent. But when he mentioned a desire to be lieutenant governor, the Third, district sent a delegation to To peka with a message that the staunch old district is solid so far as Huffman Is concerned. i Governor Capper didn't go to the lobbies until today. His workers were on the job, every minute. But today the governor himself stepped into it. He stepped Into the milling with the same mild manner and soft word which has won votes and organized a following in every school district in Kansas. Maybe you don't know Just to know. .Maybe the governor himself doesn't know. It was that quiet or ganization plan of which every poli tician has dreamed and few have per fected. But it gets votes. And votes win political battles. Thelold timers? They are all here. Morton Albaugh, Sam Fitzpatrick and Bill White up to their necks in the Allen fight. Suave Dave Mulvane worKing tooth and nail for Charley coit.- eiiiy Morgan -and S. M. Brews ter for themselves. George Findlay. Seth Wells, Al Williams interested in everything. Joe Dolley for Stubbs. "Kiowa" Davis for Tincher. And a score of 'others who have gone ud and down in the battles ef quarter of a century. M. E. Leatherwood, of Council Grove, wad certain of the presidency from the jump. It was all ironed out in advance. AndJ. J. Rhoades. Em mett George and fifty others who launched the Leatherwood boom a year ago are among the really happy men in Topeka today. S. M. Brewster, attorney general and candidate for. governor, came to the milling after a speaking tour n the Sixth district. Brewster made 'a patri otic speech in the little town of St. Francis, Cheyenne county, last week. And at the end of the meeting the men, women and children bought $29,66i) wortti of baby bonds. Ask Brewster !f the Sixth district believes the Carey statement that people "don't know the war is on." The;" Alien executive committee held a council of war, Monday night. -An after that meeting the Allen boosters went into the hotel lobby like the cy clones used to go into Medicine Lodge. Charles S. Finch of Lawrence has withdrawn from the race for secre tary of state. He sent an announce ment of his withdrawal to J. T. Bot- kin, the present secretary of state. The Finch announcement will leave an open road for hundreds of prominent Kansas Republicans and the predic tions in the lobbies today gave the nomination to L. J. Pettijohn of Podge City in a walk. "Billy" Edwards of Wichita, former secretary of state and one of the most widely known Republicans in the state, is here with a big delegation of Allen boosters. W. Y. Morgan, lieutenant governor, and Mrs. Morgan came early. While Mrs. Morgan attended the numerous women's meetings, the Hutchinson editor was equally busy directing his campaign work among the men in the advance banquet crowd. Many newspaper men in the lobby crowd are boosting for the renomina tion of W. R. Smith to the state print- ership. Smith's record in the office has won much attention and the del egation from the Third district was strongly behind his candidacy. Frank Ryan of Leavenworth,' form er railroad commissioner,' is here "with a statement that he will run for sec retary of state. William Allen White has eome to Topeka twice in ten days. White has not equalled this record in ten years. Three years ago, in fact. White said he didn't expect to come to Topeka or have his hair cut until Roosevelt was elected president.' But the Allen move ment was too much for White and he has buried ancient vows and threatens to make many return trips to Topeka before the primaries. H. J. Cornwell, St. John editor and chairman of the Stafford county com mittee, headed the Stafford delega tion to the banquet. Four or more people constitute a caucus on Kansas day. And using the common basis, ten caucuses are held every three minutes in the Na tional hotel lobby. Living in Topeka has many advan tages for the candidate who wants to see the "boys" when they come to the Kansas day banquet. James A. Trout man, candidate for governor, was waiting in an easy chair to welcome the first visitor. STICK TO RULES Sammy Sentry Makes Generals Walk in Trench. Threatened With Bayonet, They Obey Orders, Too. By J. W. PEGLER. With the American Army In France, Jan. 29. Orders are orders a .mere two' or three silver stars shining on a general's shoulders do not make any difference to a Sammy if tne wearers of those stars aren't playing the game according to the rules.

During the great moonlight ma neuvers on a certain recent night the two generals directing the movement started to walk along toward the mid dle of a long trench line In which thousands of Sammies were massed, waiting signals to go over the top. Nobody was permitted to walk on the parapet or "in sight of the enemy." Walked Along Parapet-; One of the generals was too big "to find comfort In the narrow trenches and the other loathed the idea of mud on his polished riding boots.

TROUBLE FOR GROCER Topeka Food Board After Merchant Who Makes Disloyal Statement. "I'll sell as much' sugar or flour to a person as I please and I would like to see anyone stop me." That is the way one grocer is reported as saying in regaru 10 tne local iooa adminis tration board. W. H. Davis, chairman of the board said that the report -was being in vestigated and if found to be true the fractious grocer would soon find him self in a place where he- would have unlimited time to meditate on -the power of the government to regulate iooa sales ana prices. The local board also decided at the meeting Monday noon to do Itself proud in the spreading of the wheat- less and meatless and general conser vation propaganda.
