After marching up Kansas avenue, the yoldier boys grouped on the state house grounds, where they were met by a bevy of pretty Topeka girls, will ing and glad to dance with them de spite hob-nail shoes and woolen socks. Music fur the dance was furnished by the Ninth Battalion band. Dancing was on the east aide of the state house grounds. Altho between 80 and 90 per cent of the 700 men and J3 officers are Kan sas men. numerous Topekans includ ed, this is the first time Kansas and Topeka has ever seen the organiza tion as a unit. The men left their homes with other guard organizations and in small contingents for Funston, and were drawn from units at Doni phan and Funston to supply their fa mous division with an ammunition train, before the Kansas and Missouri guardsmen left Doniphan for France. And it was a glorious, if initial, "baptism of honor" bestowed upon the regime-nt today. Tumult of Cheers. And all the while Topeka cheered. As the train started from the Union Pacific station, and marched up Kan sas avenue, murmured words that l was coming preceded it like wildfire. The murmur grew to a rolling, mut ter ins: swelling sound that broke into a tumult of cheers as the khaki clad, ribbon bedecked men came in sight over the Melan bridge. For once Topeka didn't forget to "uncover" for the colors. That is, the mopt of it didn't. The scene was all very much the same as that of Wednesday night when the 110th engineers marched up the avenue, altho the crowd was not as lf.rge. Topeka felt close to the 110th ammunition train and those of its pop ulation o i the avenue wanted to get a.s close to it i; possible. Stra'n ftom the martial band which preceded the heroes were a signal for suspension cf all other interests. Shop girls forgot their counters, doctors their patients, lawyers their clients, and the great 'Saturday afternoon shopping crow-da their bargains and the grocery orders for Sunday's dinner and rushed onto the street. And they cheered for these men the men who during the bloody Argonne stood Just back of the men that manned the guns and sweat and toiled and worked until it seemed that their very soul would break to keep the division supplied with ammunition. Worked on Near Death. It was not their business to pay at tention to dense gas clouds that seemed to cut their life away. Under the showers of Hun air-bombs and shell-fire from beyond they worked in grim determination. When a horse was killed they cut the animal from the harness and substituted another one. and when one of their own num ber fell they "closed up" and worked on. This was the glory with which the "orphan" unit of the Thirty-fifth cov ered itself. But the 110th ammunition train is not longer an orphan Topeka adopted it today. Tho it was organ ized at Doniphan, and as a unit, miss ed a lot of the honor and glory af forded the other companies and regi ments in their leave-taking for the training camp, the men were of the same splendid manhood, the same "TIN STETSONS" WILL BE WORN IN SUNDAY PARADE 139th Infantry To Be Seen in Oversea Helmets. .Many Kansas Units in Big Review Tomorrow. MORSE BAND IN THE PARADE Topekans Will Hear Music "Made in Topeka." Interveners at Camp Stuart Have Very Poor Luck. En Koute From St. Louis The 139th infantry left St. Louis this morning and will arrive in St. Joseph tonight. A big parade is planned at St. Joseph upon arrival. At a late hour this afternoon the dnly information received by the local committee in charge of re ceptions for troops was to the ef fect that the 139th infantry would arrived in Topeka some time to morrow afternoon on eithr the Rock Island or Santa Fe, en route to Camp Funston. Trench helmets of the 139th infan try headquarters company will appear j in i lie iupend paiaue in wie unit to morrow afternoon gay with regulation camouflage and with the divisional in signia prominent, according to word received from correspondents and To pekans who visited the Topekans at Camp Stuart. The regimental band will also be in the parade, led by Lieut. Theodore Morse. The parade of the 139th should he thp lnnvl .atiort a rn la i svar wittiAacail in Topeka... The- doughboys come from towns al' over Kansas including com panies from Topeka, (headquarters. supply and hand), correyville, Oska Ioosa, Junction City, Caney, Leaven worth, Eldorado, Downs, Abilene, Her ington, Newton, Wellington, and Mar ion. Thousands of relatives and friends from over the state will be here, rail way officials have been informed. It will be a royal Kansas welcome for the doughboys of the 35th. Many Topekans of the 35th who failed to fix up their carnegie derbies when overseas, have been busy with a paintbrush in preparation for the event. It is but a fad and a bit of swank say others who are sticking to the plain drab colored headgear, but if it is a fad, it is a popular one and is widely practiced. The interviewer asking the Topeka men for stories of their adventures, isn't playing in much luck these days. In fact it is mostly a case of the thrill hunter being interviewed himself. "What was your most narrow escape?" is a stock question and the usual an swer is "How is Topeka looking now days?

Thev came up Kansas avenue today to their own many to the arms of their home folks, amid the cheers of those who kept the home fires burning and into the immortal history of a great state.

They marched back to the train and continued their journey to Funston, but their smiles grew broader every minute, for every minute brought them that much nearer home not just home for a few hours but home, loving hearts, honor and gratitude and happiness forever. A few days will be all that is necessary to see them dis charged from Funston the last mile post in the long, long trail of the sol dier. Lunch Served Boys. Orderliness marked the" detraining of the first section at 2:35 o'clock, where a truck filled to the brim was waiting for the boys and was served by the Red Cross. After lunch was served there was a grand rush of relatives of the few Topeka bovs in the personnel of thj troops. As the boys munched sandwiches they asked about all the folks at home, grinned only as soldiers who have been overseas can grin, when they see their loved ones, and talked things over. There was little commo tion and after eating lunch in the park north of the Union Pacific sta tion the boys lined up and waited for the second section which arrived at 3 o'clock. They stacked arms before lining up for the march up the ave nue. The parade started up Kansas ave nue as soon as the second section de trained. That arrangement was made in order not to disappoint the To pekans waiting to see the boys march ing. It was announced that the men in the second section would be given their lunches from the Red Cross after the dance at the state house grounds. They were to bp eating while the first section was pulling out for Camp Fun ston on the last lap of the long. 10ns journey. i MEDALS TO BOYS More Than 250 Topekans To Be Decorated Tomorrow.

Snyder Wise ASKS GENT RAISE The Topeka Railway Company Seeks 6-Cent Fare Again. ew Petition Filed With P. U. C. Today. the For the second time in a year the Topeka Railway company today ap plied to the Kansas public utilities commission for a six cent street car fare in Topeka and Oakland. Last fall an application for increased fares was denied, the commission holding that abnormal conditions existed at that time. The commission, however, gave the street railway company "permission" to file another applica tion this spring. In its petition today the street rail way company asserts that it is unable to earn a fair return on its invest ment in Topeka and Oakland. It states that its property here represents an investment of nearly $2,000,000 and that the high cost of equipment, as well as heavy advances in wage and sal afty schedules makes the nickel fare unremunerative. Wage increases were granted several weeks ago, the company states, further reducing the earnings of the company. Operate Cars nt a Loss. As a part of its petition for an ad vance in street car fare, the company quotes from the commission's decision of last fall in which it denied an in crease but "permitted" the subsequent filing of a new case. Present rates, the company asserts, are non-compen satory and fail to yield the company a fair return on its investment and op erating expenses. It is also declared that continuance of existing conditions will cause the company to operate its cars at a loss to the owners of the lines. No date has been assigned for a hearing of the case. A date may be set at a commission conference early next week. At the hearing last summer the street railway company introduced evidence to show that its gross reve nues were eaten up by war time ex penses. The commission in deciding the case said'that If "the 'company found by June 30, this year, that it was losing money that it might file another application. There was nothr ing in the decision of last fall which indicated the future policy of the com mission in event a showing of losses was made. The street railway company asserted in its petition that it was ex ercising its privilege of bringing a new application before the commission at this time because it was certan-it could not earn a fair return on its invest ment under existing conditions. BEGIN WORK SOON Plans Complete for $125,000 Washburn Hall. One of Most Imposing Build ings on Campus.

It is certain that some kind of a tale will have to be told the returned soldiers, if Shawnee county should by any chance fail to subscribe her quota in the loan. Of course Shawnee coun ty will not fail. But there are some persons lots of them who have but a short time left in which tQ manu facture an excuse for lion-subscription to the loan.

VICTORY LOAN MARCH; Em ploy os of Santa Fe Shops Will Pa rade Here Tonight. The victory loan campaign is to re ceive the impetus of an unusual event for the last week of the drive. Tonight at about 7 o'clock the em ployes of the Santa Fe shops are to stage an informal parade on Kansas avenue the parade to he partly a celebration of the over the top sub scription recorded by the shops in every war drive and partly an incen tive to the ones who have not done their part to go and do likewise. The parade tonight is a joint cele bration of the employes in all depart ments of the Santa Fe shops of the record of the shops in the war drives and the liberty loan campaigns. Espe cially is the parade held to celebrate the shops' subscription to the victory liberty loan. Some classes of persons have come jn for a great deal of censure for the lack of interest they have shown in this campaign, but the Santa Fe em ployes do not get any of this censure. They have done their part they have even set an example which if followed by certain other classen of peonle would have put the victory loan far over the top. "WE MUSTSO!" Germany Cannot Reject Any Terms, Says Max Harden. Action Would Mean Country's Ruin, Editor Declares. FURS SEEDS OF PROPAGANDA Doubts If Plebiscite Could Jiow Result In Accepting Treaty. (Jfo Time Sow for Cummunism, Says Harden, a Radical. Berlin, May 1 (By courier to Paris, May 3), Germany, to save herself from destruction, must sign any peace terms the allies offer her, Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft and the most outspoken German of promi nence, told the United Press today. Harden expressed fear, however, that the propaganda already dissemi nated by the German government may influence the people to refuse ratifi cation of the treaty, even if the dele gates finally counsel its acceptance. Altho a radical himself, he declared he opposed communism at this time. while admitting his belief that the country will be plunged into com munism if the treaty is not signed. Says Envoys Worst Possible. "The German peace delegates are the worst that could possibly have been chosen," said Harden. 'Herr Sehuecking is the only pacifist among them, and even he was a member of the jury which recently declared the murder or Captain Fryatt justified. (Fryatt, commander of a British merchant steamer, was executed be cause he is alleged to have attempted to ram a U-boat.) "The delegates have made their position more difficult by influencing the people thru the press to oppose the allied peace terms. It is doubt ful if a plebiscite could now result in acceptance of the treaty, since the press is deceiving the people worse than it did during the war. The same Germans who con demned the fourteen points as over- harsh and impossible when President Wilson first announced them, are now intentionally twisting them about to make them easy. The fourteen points are not easy. They are hard. Presi dent Wilson did not intend them oth erwise; I told the German people when they were first enunciated that they were the best we could get, and that we had better accept them. The press now roars about violation of the points because the peace terms are hard. "If the treaty is not accepted, then the government will have thrown Ger many into renewed and lasting suffer ing. Germany needs food supplies and credit, but more than that she needs the world's good will and sympathy. The German delegates, by their atti tude, do not gain these and do not con vince the world that Germany is changed and reformed. No Time for Communism. "If President Wilson no longer can champion justice for Germany because Germany does not deserve justice; then the government will be over thrown. I would consider that a catastrophe. Not because I am op posed to the theory of communism I am a radical myself but because I think that the present is no time for a change of the social order. For in stance, when a patient is in the middle of a difficult operation it is unwise to begin teaching him dancing lessons. That is the tragic position of Germany.

REPORT ITALY TO RETURN k PEACE TABLE Italians Desire To Come Back, but Want To Be Coaxed. Conference Making Preparation for Austrian Envoys. TO MEET FOE AGAIN SUNDAY German Delegation Equalling Others in Size. Threaten To Deport Huns Leaving Prescribed Area. (By the Associated Press.) Paris. Friday, May 2. The Italian situation took a more favorable turn late today. The indications were that some ar rangement would be made for Italy to be represented when the peace treaty was presented to the Germans next week.' Paris,- May 3. Italian headquarters declared today that the American, British and French ambassadors in Rome are making overtures for the return of the Italian peace delegates to Paris. Issue Still in Balance. Paris, May 2. The Italian Issue is still in the balance with Thomas Nel son Page, American ambassador, and Camille Barrere, French ambassador, both making efforts at Rome to find by conversations with Premier Or lando, a formula which will heal the breach caused by the withdrawal of the Italian delegation to. the peace conference. Mr. Page has had two more long conferences with the Italian premier, who is said to show a disposition to resume relations, but who thinks that overtures should come from Paris. Raps Anti-U. S. Outbursts.

Confer With Huns Sunday. Paris, May 2 (7:30 p. m.) The cre dentials committee of the peace con ference will hold another meeting with (he German delegates on Sunday morning...,...--..,.. .i The German delegation Is rapidly assuming a position of equality. In numbers, at least, with the delegations of the various r'.lied and associated powers. Twenty more subordinates of the delegation arrived in Versailles last evening and this morning, travel ing on regular trains under escort. Their arrival brings the roster of the delegation to a total of 218, while still more arivals are expected. A brisk interchange of telegrams Is In progress with Berlin, a courier also leaving for the German capital today with official and press dispatches. Time is hanging rather heavily on the hands of the greater part' of the dele gation, however, owing to the. delay in the opening of the actual peace nego tiations. The billiard tables In the hotels occupied by the Germans are In constant use and card games are fre quently in progess in the newspaper men's club rooms and in a dozen other places. Get Out of Bounds. The tendency of the German dele gation's subordinates, particularly the girl stenographers, to break bounds has led the police commissioner to in struct the police posted at the threw hotels to turn back any Teutons round wandering off the reservation and to form a flying squad of detectives to round up any of them discovered In unauthorized parts of Versailles. The commissioner also has issued a warn ing that any attempt on their part to go to Paris to see the sights will lead to their immediate banishment to Ger many.

ARMENIANS IN PROTEST People See In Wilson's Statement cli nation To Partition Country. Boston, May J5. Assuming upon advices from the Albanian represen tatives in Paris that the Volpna men tioned in President Wilson's memo randum to Premier Orlando is the Al banian port of Volpna, Kol Tromara, of tbe Albanian federation Vatra, sent a cablegram to President Wilson yes terday protesting against his state ment that there was common agree ment that the port should be ceded to Italy. "Albanians of America," says the cablegram, "have been overwhelmed with grief by the publication of your memorandum in which the perma nent possession of the principal Al banian seaport of Volpna by Italy is treated as a matter of common agree ment in exchange of Fiume. This tentative proposal following closely upon the attitude of American dele gates of the committee on Greek claims recommending cession of the Albanian province of Arghyrocastro and the Albanian seaport of Eanti Quaranta to Greece indicates inclina tion of the allied powers, as well as of America to execute clauses of the se cret treaty of London of 1915 parti tioning Albania." fixinITharvestwages Probably Around 50 Cents an Hour Labor Scurcity a Problem. Kansas City, Mo., May 3. Wheat farmers were to meet today In Kan sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa to determine the wages to be paid har vest hands who will gather the great est wheat crop in history. It probably will be 40, 45 or 50 cents an hour. Farmers are worrying as to where the labor is to come from this year. With abolition of the "floater" class which has hitherto proved reliable in recruiting harvest labor, the farmers will be forced to depend on workers spared from other labor. The possi bility of maintaining men who began harvesting in northern Oklahoma and "followed the harvest" into Nebraska and the Dakotas, has faded with the increase in railroad fare to 3 cents a mile over the former rate of 1 cent a mile. The plan followed last year of re leasing employes from the cities for one or two weeks for harvest work will probably prove the most popular this year. MILKMEN ASK MOKE PAY Two Thousand Drivers In Chicago Ask $9 Week Raise. Chicago, May .3.

Hawker declared that with a reasonable break with the weather, the British aviators could give the Americans a three days start and still beat them to England, providing the Americans follow their announced plans.

Frobably showers, cooler Sunday and north and cast tonight. The Smithsonian Institution, United States National Museum, Washington, D. C, in a recent publication, grave some of the char acteristics of natural gas and of the natural gas business, as follows: "Gas is the most uncertain fluctuating volatile and fugitive of all mining properties. Jt lies far below the surface beyond the control of human will and beyond the reach of any legal process." Further: "Natural gas is an exhaustible resource that when once used is gone forever. Every time a natural gas company sells 1,000 cubic feet of gas it is selling a part of its property. Furthermore, the number of natural gas customers is increasing faster than the number of producing wells, thus placing an addi tional burden on each well, and the wells that are being drilled at the present time have a lower average capacity than welis that were drilled several years ago, in. this way making gas less available."

I am hnppy to add my voire to others In an appeal to our fellow eniintrymen to give their earnest and united snp prt to this anil every similar move ment. I hope that the people of the country will universally observe Em ployment Sunday as a day of fresh dedication to the mutual helpfulness which will serve to work out In the months to rome the difficult problems of employment and industrial reorgan isation. In these days of victory we ran make no better offering than that of service to the men and women who have won the victory. WOOKKOW WILSON. Philadelphia. Pa., May 3. Thou sands of church welcome committees organized to serve returning soldiers and sailors thru the- plan put forth by the army and navy department Of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will Join tomorrow in the nation-wide cam paign to observe Employment Sunday. The object of the day is to get jobs for all men returning from the army and navy. The suggested observance of this day is endorsed by President Wilson, the department of labor, the United States employment service and a large percentage of the 113.000 Protestant churches thruout the country which are represented by the general war time commission of the Churches of Christ. Thru the general war time, commission and under government frank posters have been sent to the pastors of 115,000 congregations to be displayed in each church, together with suggestions and ways in which the churches may co-operate with the United States employment service. Churches Are Active. Church welcome committees in all parts of the country organized thru the efforts of the army and navy de partment of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew already have been doing an active work in welcoming the returned soldiers and sailors, placing them in jobs and serving them thru the many channels of church and community life. This plan of welcoming returned men has the hearty endorsement and co-operation of the big welfare organi zations, notably the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and war camp community serv ice. The general war time commis sion is acti-ely pushing the idea and has called on the various churches to appoint church welcome committees and to put them to work at once in serving returning soldiers and sailor3 In every way possible. Ask for More Help. Fitting the returned man into his proper place in the community and church life is the keynote of the plan. It suggests that each church should form at once a committee of its active laymen with necessary officers. This committee gets in touch with the men as they return home, seeks out their needs and in every way possible works with them in filling those needs. Jobs are found, entertainments are planned, the man is welcomed to the church and to all activities cf the com munity life. He is welcomed home and shown that his church and com munity feel proud of him, not in a stand-offish semblance of hero wor ship, but In real service that tends to build up and strengthen the ideals for which he fought. 30 BOYS GET MEDALS Topoka Scouts Rewarded for War Work miiJ Oilier Activities.

FAME FOFSOME CITY Klekard About To Xante Site for W il ia rd-Don pscy tight. New York, May 3. Tex Rickard is about to open his mouth and make some town famous. Today or tomor row he is expected to name the place where Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey meet for the championship July 4. According to the terms of the agreement, the site must be fixed to morrow, two months before the date of the combat. Rickard was due to start for New York today from Cleveland. He has been looking; over the situation in To ledo, which Is anxious to get the melon. Bids have been received from nu merous localities and all kinds of money has been offered by many chambers of commerce and similar organizations. Rickard is now be lieved to have fully made up his mind and. the guessing is that the fight may be staged in Ohio. It is considered significant that Tex is remaining there so long. He was expected to start for New York yesterday, and the fans here have a hunch he is staying over to do some last minute dickering and arrange final details before coming here to speak those great words: 4,The fight will be held in NEGRO MASS MEETING They Will Take Steps To Vfge Be- turn of Soldiers in Kuropc. A mass meeting of the negro peo ple of Topeka will be held Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Colored Methodist church. Fou teenth and Van Buren, for the purpose of framing a petition to ask the war department to return the colored soldiers to their homes and people. According to Nick Chiles, hundreds of families are receiving letters from their boys in France asking the home folks to take some action toward get ting them home at once. Chiles says the chief complaint the boys have is against the autocracy of the white American officers who work them to death, are merciless in dis cipline and make life a misery and a burden to the men in pioneer out fits, labor battalions and other out fits that take care of the heavy phys ical work. According to Chiles, the men have no complaint against the French people or against French of ficers who have commanded them at times, their chief kick seems to be against the white officers. An effprt is going to be made, says Chiles, to get representation in con gress when it convenes in an attempt to get some action in bringing their boys home again. A petition to the war department will be framed to morrow asking that the men be treat ed better and accorded more comfort pending the time when 'they may be brought home, which is hoped to be as soon as possible.

Ill Tyler street, who has been suffering for several days with encephalitis lethargica, which according to physi cians, is often erroneously called "sleeping sickness," is resting easy today, it is asserted. j Miss Klein suffered with the influenza-pneumonia last December but apparently recovered. She became sick a week ago Saturday and since last Friday has been bedfast in an al most continual restless slumber. The case has been diagnosed by Dr. C. F. and Karl A- Menninger and oth er physicians who have come in con tact with it as encephalitis lethargica or nona. It is the same ailment, the physicians say, as that which is now occurring thru this country and being erroneously ..ailed "sleeping sickness." Not Tropical Disease.1 v However, according to Dr. Karl Menninger, specialist, it is not the same ailment as sleeping sickness, which does not occur outside of the tropics and is caused by the bite of a fly found only in middle Africa and similar climates. The real sleeping sickness is always fatal. Encephalitis lethargica, or nona. is not a new ailment, it is asserted. It has been found since the middle ages in various countries, nona being its name in southern Europe. Altho in fluenza is said to be a contributing cause, it is not the sole cause, physi cians say. No definite discovery of all elements of the cause have been made, and little is known about an effective remedy or definite cure. May Be Contagious. The disease, it is asserted by physi cians, may or may not be slightly con tagious. It generally occurs in groups, however. The Klein home, while not under quarantine, is under a specified rule of isolation, it was asserted at the city hall today. Several previous cases of nona and a few deaths as a result, have oc curred in Kansas recently. The ail ment, however, is growing more prev alent in the east. Brown cts Kdgc on Molia.

HALL OF FAME GET vW OCCUPY THIS ii" Tho Shylock's demand for his pound of flesh may have been tragical at the time he was created, he was a piker. Ask any man or woman who be longs to that class of humanity in Topeka known commonly as "tenants." Put the question neritle like, for if the interrogated has been a tenant very long it may prove fatal. There Is truly only a narrow margin between genius and insanity, a nd the tenant who la trying to beat the high rent problem is a genius if he gets away with it and often if he doesn't. lU'Hting High Rent Problem. Beating the hish rent problem Is oday the great Topeka game. It is omethinar like chess, in a way, only not exactly like it. If you are a renter you do) most of the moving. Also you are liable to be "jumped" any time by the landlord for more rent. You have about as much chance as a j'-boat with an "ash can." Lives there a "tenant" so lucky that he has not had reason to believe all this. If there is. his place is not in a Topeka apartment or a "rented house." His place Is in one of the niches in the state hijuse rotunda, the first occupant of the Kansas "hall of fame" to truly demand awe. k How You Go Aliout It. r Just a word about this renting a house or apartment business what you run up against when you try it.

You sign a paper permitting the owner to hold your wife's lingerie for security if you don't pay the rent. You are at the mercy of your landlord. It is specified that before you leave, or at any time of the day or night the landlord may walk in, look things over, including your wife's latest hair, and oust you if you have placed a finger-mark on the woodwork. You are wrapped up in enough red tape to strangle an army, but you read at the bottom of the lease that you can be. ejected at the OUT, ILL

A warning was sent out today by Chief of Police Gar rity that the "sale" of army automo biles which were never used because of the sudden end of the war is "the latest thing in swindles." A gang of such swindlers which was operating in St. Louis where a harvest was re portd to, hve been garnered, has changed Its base from that city to Chicago. The army heads say these swindlers poted as purchasing agents from the quartermaster's department who had been given the privilege of disposing of the government's surplus cars at prices ranging from $150 to $350. In making "sales," the -swindlers would try to get the full price or a part pay ment and then disappear. I A. ALL FOR KANSAS! Every Day Kansas Day in Old New York Town. A Great Period for Jay hawkers Meeting Troops. ANY OLD WAY TO GET THERE Ingenuity Practiced To Meet Transports in Harbor. German Officers With Iron Crosses Were Aboard. BT EDWIN A. MENNINGER. New York, May 1. Every day has been Kansas day in New York for two weeks. With every sun the Kreat, gray ships have come, bringing many thousands of Kansas boys back from the battlefields over there. And to welcome the horn1 comers with tears and cheers and wide-open arms, there have been hundreds of restless loved ones at the piers, waiting and watch ins for "their boy" to heave into sight. Nothing has been too good for "the laddies who fought and won." Their daddies and mothers and sweethearts, their representatives in congress, their former military chiefs, even their governor, have been thru many weary nays or waiting. All called every day to see whether the indispensable Kan sas secretary. Miss Helen K. Ostertag, of Atchison, had heard anything more of when each transport would be in. And they spent all their time plan ning ways to spend their money to welcome their boys. The demonstrations lamt "Wednesday were the best, because they were the biggest Kansas has ever staged any where outside of her own borders. Two ships, crowded with their total of nearly 8,000 doughboys from the plains, gave the occasion for a real outburst that has lasted for days. The Mobile, with its cargo of 130th field artillerymen, was two days over due, ha v tug heen held up at Brest, and it steamed into New York harbor only a few minutes ahead of the great Manchuria, with the 137th infantry. Kan sans on Board Tug. Advance radios had indicated that neither boat would get In before sun down and that both would likely lie offshore thru another night, waiting for a full day in which to unload their burdens. And so the Kansas wel comers, 300 strong, all insistent upon getting aboard the good tug Lexing ton, which had been chartered to take its capacity load of 100 screaming Kansans down the bay, had planned to start late in the day toward the mouth of the harbor to help bring the big ships in. But just before noon word came that both ships had anchored off quarantine and wotjld be at their piers by 3 o'clock. Governor Allen may have been elected by a united Kansas, but in the welcoming party, back here in New York that day, there was a serious "party split." For eighty-five Kansans, the governor himself lead ing the insurgents, rushed for the Lex ington's dock, and started the craft at full speed down the bay, never waiting for the other two hundred that had not heard the freshest news. Don't Walt f6r Tiny; or Tide. "Kansas folks don't wait for time, tide or transports." wrote one man of the race that developed. Because the many that were left behind, led by Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley, one of the moving lights in the reception of the boys, appealed to the captain of the marine division of the New York police, who cranked up his patrol boat engine and took Kansas party No. 2 hot footing down the bay after the Lexington. A long cheer broke from the khakied rails of the transports as the homesick boys, irritated by every de lay, spied the beflagged tugs, with banners of "Kansas Welcomes You." and other signs for Pittsburg. Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Fredonia, Hutchinson, and the rest of the cities represented on the transport. The welcoming party took the in vaders by storm. They fired volleys of oranges and apples at the stuffed portholes and raked the decks with candy shrapnel. No casualties were reported, but there was wild scream ing and waving of hands and jumping up and down on all the ships, large and small. Topeka Girl Welcome. A Topeka girl with a red hat who had clambered, to the top of the pilot house, led the thrilling and thrilling a board the Lexington. There was a hysterical cheer from the tug for every face recognized, and an answer ing note from the transports rails. Ex cited parents megaphoned madly at their own boy or at some ore's else, and the din of voices from above drowned most of the words.' ships to be swung into her berth in Hoboken. The tide was running strong and an hour wore on as the tugs worked to warp the ship against the current up to one of the army transport piers. Outside, on the open pavilion at the river end' of the long, double decker covered pier. band played snappy airs thru the afternoon. Army em barkation officers, news correspond ents, workmen and the few others who could be admitted to the pier, stood around impatiently. Fifteen minutes after the Mobile had been made fast, the Manchuria had been drawn in on the opposite side of the same pier, and soon Kan sas men were pouring from both sides over four gangplanks, fairly crowd ing each other off onto the land. The eight thousand had been taken off the ships and started for Camp upton within three hours. Special Reception. Meanwhile, the Kansas welcoming parties, thru the courtesy or the com manding officer of the port to Brig. Gen. Martin, were landed on the army piers and admitted to a special re ception room to which officers and a few enlisted men of the landed troops were invited. Here were told many of the inci dents of the voyage home. There was one of an operation for appendicitis performed at sea in an improvised hospital during a terrific storm. A corporal of sanitary train unit 4S, wearer or tne Croix de uuerre, was stricken and when an operation was seen to be imperative, tbe ship was stopped for forty-five minutes while the surgeons wbrked. Brought Back War Brides. Three boys on the' Mobile brought French war brides back with them. German Officers on Ship. And on the same ship were seven German merchant marine officers, for the Mobile was formerly the Hamburg-American liner Cleveland, se cured from thei enemy by the United States for use in transport service, and the Germans were sent along to represent the owners and "help the Americans run the ship." "But they never asked us to help," complained the German second of ficer on arrival here. "If they only had it would have been such a relief, for all we did was eat three meals a day and walk the deck," "This is a whole lot different from the way we came in here last time," said the chief officer, "but, well, it is the misfortune of defeat." All th Germans wore iron crosses, but insisted earnestly that they had not won them thru "distinguished" service aboard some submarine. "Everybody geta them, you know," said one. Despite their denials, I learned that at least one of the Germans, the sec ond engineer, had seen service in the undersea navy.. He had been an en gineer on a German U-boat for three years, but whether the submarine on which he served had sunk any ships carrying American civilians or troops could not be learned. None of the Germans were allowed to leave the Mobile at Hoboken and they were not allowed to communicate" with the shore. The United States naval officers on the Mobile said the Germans had been regarded aboard the ship as curiosities, being allowed to walk about and con verse at times with the American troops, but being little seen by the crew.

APRIL WET MONTH Last Three Months Wettest in Kansas Since 18S7. April was the fourth wettest April on record in Topeka. It completed a three month period, the wettest since 1887. In a year, no other month has had fewer clear days. Only one April in twenty years had a smaller per centage of sunshine. The temperature for the month av eraged n oinal. On the 22nd the tem perature went up to 86. the highest reached, and the lowest was 32 degrees on the first. Frosts occurred on the 1st. 17th and 18th. Total precipitation amounted to 4.09 inches, or 1.37 inches above normal. In the three months 11.95 inches were recorded. Wheat was in fine condition. Oats showed a good stand, altho growth was retarded by lack of sunshine and warmth. Potatoes and early gardens made little headway. When the month closed alfalfa and pastures were in excellent condition. XIONESS KILLS KEEPER Circus Animal Then Escapes and Ter rorizes Town Finally Shot. Woodbury, IS'. J., May 3.

IT IS A GIGANTIC TASK Bailroad Men Working 24 Hours at a Stretch. We HaTe Troops in Six Conn tries Now. Tours, France, May 2. Sending tVis hnvu Vi mrriA t inh thfit lrrlr q bagger the more you look at it from such points of observation as Ant werp, the Rhine, Tours, Le Mans and the various base ports whence the ships sail. Sixteen divisions had sailed up to April 4. Up to April 6. 672,976 men had been sent Lome, whereas in the entire year from June, 1917, to May 31, 1918, only 664.152 men could be landed in France despite the ex tremest effort. The boys want to get home, the of ficers of the A. E. F. want to get them home, and the folks backjiome want them home. But it is doubtful if any of these excepting the A. K. F- offi cers in charge of the work realize what a gigantic task it is. At the present rate there will be on Septem ber 1 but 20,000 men of those now in Europe who have not been sent on their way. However, some contin gency may arise whereby it shall be deemed advisable to keep many of them here. And no matter what ground critics of the army may think they have for criticism of ,the speed with which the work is being done, it should not be overlooked by the people in America that there is a great debt of gratitude to the men at the base ports who are straining every nerve and every bit of strength to keep the ships moving out with their happy cargoes. Kailroad men awe working twenty-four hours at a stretch between Coblentz on the Rhine and Brest, the main embarka- tion port at this time. Rode in Box Cars. It is 1,4 4 8 kilometers from Coblentz to Brest and for each division that makes the trip about twenty-six trains are required. The boys ride in box cars and the officers fare a bit better. Their care before leading, after en training and before going aboard ship is a tremendous problem in provision ing, sheltering, and attending to phys ical comforts and ailments. At St. Nazaire there was nothing but a waste before this war, but the Amer ican engineers transformed it into a thriving, bustling base port, where there are now hotel facilities for 17, 000 men daily, and where there are mechanical devices for unloading and loading cargoes and railroad facilities which have ever been a marvel to the French. When the armistice was signed the machinery of the American army vias sending men into France at the rate of 200,000 per month or more. Sud denly that machinery had to be re versed. Facilities for incoming freight and men had to be supplanted by or ganization for sending men out. Three Ports Available. There were only three base ports quickly available, St. Nazaire. Brest and Bordeaux. In November the total sent home was 25,503, but this month, so. rapidly have the wheels of the machine been reversed, it is expected that 221.000 men will be embarked. This will exceed the demands con tained in the army schedule and will get away thousands of men who are not scheduled to sail until May. Shelters, bathing stations, and de- lousing stations had to be established at the ports. Facilities for medical examination of almost 2.000.000 men had to be established. Arrangements for hospital care for the sick and wounded had to be perfected. Maj. Gen. J. G, Harbord, in this emergency, called for twelve officers of his staff and sent them out to start the big machine. Some idea of the work necessary after the "war is over" is to be had from-the fact that in the month of March" the organization which is doing this work made 3,756 long distance telephone calls, sent out 31.36 telegrams and dispatched S57V 330 words of cable messages. Of American production alone there are 22.326 freight cars being used in toot sweeting, with 1,333 locomotives, and this does not take into account the immense number of French cars and locomotives in use. The French railway wstems were In so demoralized a condition after the armistfee that it was decided to dump the men's equipment and property in the advanced areas. This removed the necessity of loading equipment on the trains with the men and thus was re duced the number of trains necessarv to transport a division from between forty to fifty-six trains down to about twenty-six trains. This was conserva tion in train facilities and it was a step forward in toot sweeting. Fly Many Flags. We still have troops in Holland. Italy, England, Russia France and Germany, and with the French and British at various points. Our boys nave been goina: home on ships riying the American. French, British, Italian, Dutch. Swedish and enemy flags. There are now four divisions on the way to America, eix are at base ports, one division m en route to a base port, four are in the Le Mans area, which is a reservoir for outgoing and incom ing troons. one division is en route to the Le Mans area, and three divisions have had release orders and are pre paring to move westward. At the end of March there were the following numbers of welfare work ers in France: Y. M. C. A., 6.653; Red Cross, 5.607; Knights of Columbus, 1.733: Salvation Army. ISO: Jewish Welfare, 99. These workers are being sent Koine from time to time as the demand for their services is decreased here. Unloading and loading have been re duced to a system so expeditious that the average length of time a ship re mains in port, according to the latest figures, was two and one-tenth days. This is about a third of the time re quired for the same ship to make a turn around in New York. INDIANS SUBSCRIBE HEAVILY. Every South Dakota County Where They Predominate Over in Loan. Aberdeen, S. May 3. Every county in South Dakota where the Indian population is predominant has oversubscribed its victory loan quota, it became known today. Todd, county, in the Rosebud dis trict, more than doubled its quota by subscribing $1 1 3.350. Sioux Indians subscribed $87,350 of this total. Bible Study BY MRS. C F.

MUST BE HEALTHY Army Will Sfot Discharge a So cially Diseased Soldier. Future Safety of Country in Hands of Civil Authorities. WAR HAS TAUGHT THEM MUCH Forty Topeka Girls Have, Been Taken to Lansing in Year. Seeral Men Also Have Gone the "Cure Route.'5 Xow, what are the civil authorities going; to do about it? That's the proposition in a nutshell put up to city and state authorities by the government in regard to the sup pression ot the social disease as the millions of boys from the A. E. F. are being f-.rned loose. Not that the gov ernment has ceased in "its very suc cessful attempt to stop the spread of these diseases. Within the last year forty girls from Topeka have been taken to the farm at Lansing for treatment, according to figures given out by the Topeka police matron. Others will go from time to time. Several men have undergone similar treatment at Lansing. Thru out the state hundreds of girls have undergone treatment at Lansing since the government began backing up the civil authorities. lure Diseased Soldiers. Not a man will be discharged from the army who is diseased. In' fact, not a man in the A. K. F. who has contracted a social disease wll re turn to America until he is cured. The government has in the last year done more to stamp out the social disease than had been accomplished in a-hundred years. So far as keeping women, known publicly as wild, wild women, from Tjeing diseased long at one time, the sovernmtnt has solved that problem thru police station examinations But, as for looking after other women and the men there, the government in pamphlets issued to all discharged soldieas admits, it is helpless, except in an educational way. In these pamphlets the government by statistics, pictures and appeals to a sense of right and wrong attempts to arouse a demand from the discharged soldiers for sex hygiene action thru the state or city. In one pamphlet the government states bluntly that in the past civil authorities have been afraid to act. Kxaniinntion Before Marriage. Physical examination of men and women before marriage is u'Fked. Making a man or woman suffering from such a disease liable to either fine or imprisonment is a plan talked of extensively at this time. The government's constant and open fight'against the disease while it had the boys under its thumb has tak en away yards of the false modesty which has surrounded such subjects and action from state legislatures in the near future on this important sub ject is expected by many and urged by Uncle Sam.

The state house fee and salary bill is to be re-enrolled and printed in the session laws with a number of amend- I ments which didn't appear in the orig inal bill. Annroval of this action was given to L. J. Pettijohn. secretary of state, in an opinion today by Judge S. N. Hawkes, assistant attorney gen eral. When the legislature passed the fee and salary bill in the closing hours of the session, the enrolled bill failed to show a number of salary increases which it has been asserted were agreed to by the house and senate. The meas ure was known as house bill 718 and in the form which was signed by the governor occasioned many complaints. Pending an adjustment of the trouble, the bill was held up in the secretary of state's office "before being sent to the state printer for publication in the new session laws. Errors in other bills resulted in their re-enrollment, but final action on the fee and salary measure was suspend ed pending an 'opinion from the attor ney general's office. Judge Hawkes's opinion to Secretary Pettijohn was to the effect that if the legislative rec ords showed errors had been made in final preparation of the bill that a new bill might be drafted covering the various amendments. This action will be taken at once and the redrafted Shriner'bill will be aent to the governor for his signature. Under the interpreta tion of the law by the attorney gen pnl'a office the new measure will be come the ftsw in spite of the time that has elapsed since passage of the orig inal bill and adjournment of the legis lature.

Members of the Topeka 7 otary club and the Toueka Freds club, their wives f And guests, met in the first Rotary- Press dinner of the year at the Cham ber of Commerce last evening. Three hundred persons sat down to dinner, and a program involving the printing business of the city was carried out. It was one of the most successful gatherings in the history of the two organizations. The Evening Program. Frank Beck, president of the Rotary club, opened the meeting. He ad mitted that the Press club wouldn't stand for a Rotarian presiding officer and introduced Paul Love well, presi dent of the Press club, as the toast master of the evening. Love well, in a witty retort, told of Beck's diplomacy and his dealings with the women of Topeka as sugar administrator. Call ing Secretary Cecil Howes to the speaker's table he ordered pinned upon Beck a sugar medal of honor of huge dimensions. Lovewell then Introduced Harrison Clarkson, who wasn't there. He told of Clarkson's print shop as one of the unique institutions of the city, due tojj its insurance form specialty He next introduced Charles P. Adams, his "boss," who spoke on the topic, "Topeka A Printing Town. Adams, in a most interesting account of his experience as a reporter and a bookkeeper on the state Journal, told of the early struggles of this paper shortly after it was taken over by Frank P. MacLennan. Adams also told of the big printing establishments of the city, including his own, the Adams Brothers concern. Incidentally he came back at the toastmaster, who Is editor of Adams's "Merchants Jour nal." by blaming him for the hlerh coat of living in dealings with merchants over Kansas. Frank L. Pinet. who was supposed to talk on "News for Teachers." was unable to attend the dinner due to ill ness and his place was taken by Oscar swayze. one or tne deans ot tne ourtn Kstate in Topeka. Swayze told of the first union printer strike in the city an incident in which he as foreman was engaged in a "military" way. Hii stories of early newspaperdom in To peka were fascinating. Dr. S. d. Crum'jine. secretary of the state board of health, author of the "How to" Keep Healthy" In the State Journal Saturday evenings, spoke on "The Column Conductor." Doctor Crumbine predicted the day when newspapers will be a collection of fea tures for the information and enlight enment of the public. Doctor Crum bine's talk was in the form of an analysis of the newspaper situation of today. The final speech of the evening was made by Tom Mceal. for twenty minutes he kent th crowd in tea of lauKhter. His stories of his arrival in Kansas, the bedbugs in a Wichita hutel. the tax thieves of western Kansas, and finally to the time he wound up In Topeka were explosively funny. He ended with an oratorical tribute to the products of Kansas es oeciallv the recent man-product, the state's contribution to the war. It was one of the best speeches Tom Me Neal ever made to a Topeka audience. Issued n Program. One of the features of the dinner was a booklet, "The Topeka Rotary Press," issued by the committee on arrangements and edited by Arthur Carruth. The most interesting article In the booklet was a survey of print ing in Topeka by Hugh McVey. He pointed out that there were forty-five publications Jn the city with a circu lation in all parts of the country. More than 500 carloads of white pa per are used annually and a million dollars a year are received In sub scriptions. The publications employ 1,00 persons and the postoffice de partment receives a million dollar, for carrying the mail.

They do not want to talk about the war. They want to hear about home. They would rather discuss the merits of the little white bed in some Kansas home than all of the cootie filled dugouts in France. They would rather hear that the girls still like to go to the movies in Topeka than tell of all the charmers they may have met in France If they remember any. In short, they don't want to tell, they want to hear about home. And above all that, they want to get home. The 110th sanitary train, a unit of which is from Topeka, has a letter of recommendation from the general, of the 1st division to the commanding officer of the 85th In appreciation of the train's valuable assistance in the Argonne. The Topeka and Kansas men are especially praised by Captain Schimb. who3 tells of the review by General Pershing and the Prince of Males. There General Pershing turned to the prince and said. "Look at those Kansas and Missouri men. I want you to see what real men look like. Scramble for New Uniforms. While Captain Schimb was talking a sergeant rushed in to announce breathlessly that the new uniforms and clothing were laid out. and that other units were getting first choice of them. Immediately a detail of Topeka men was rushed out to scramble for the clean equipment. Every unit of the 35th has turned in their old uniforms and heavy trench shoes and is issued new ones for the big; homecoming cel ebration "Don't let any one cheat you out of tne proper sizes, ordered the captain "We want the men to look right when they get home for the parade." At ev ery hand between the billet of the Kansas men could be seen the old clothing and shoes' being sorted and tied up for cleaning and repair, while at every headquarters big piles of j coats, breeches, shoes, underwear and other equipment were being sorted over by supply details from various units intent on getting their men dolled up in the best sizes so as to show up best at home. j OAKLAND NOTES Notes and personals from Oakland hy France Jones.

But that is what seems to be going on In Topeka. Friday nt 8:15 o'clock the alarm box at College avenue and Seventeenth street wat sprung. Wagons that made the run found no fire. It Is expensive to run the big motor fire trucks to the edge of town Just because life has become dull in the neigh borhood. If a real big fire should occur in another part of the city while a lot of the equipment was out chasing down some one's idea of a joke it might prove dis astrous.

GOES" TO AJEW HOME Minnie Allen Hud LlvWi nt Orphans' Homo Thirty Years. After Ibeing an inmate of the To phans home for thirty years, Minnie Allen, 31, a mute, is speeding today toward a new home in Oklahoma. It was the dream of Minnie and her brother, Milo, that when he grew to manhood he would make a home for her and they would live together. That dream has come true. Milo Allen was an inmate of the same home when he was a child. When he became older he went out into the world and just before the war thought he had nearly realized his dream and had an Oklahoma farm ready for his unfortunate sister. Then, he was drafted. Nofv he's out of the army and thru Mrs. Cora Olson of Morrison, Okla., sent for his sister. There was a slight disagreement at first over the release of the girl but that has all been ironed out. Now Minnie is going to the home for which she has been so patiently waiting. The girl is well educated and during her lifetime in the home met and made friends of many Topeka people.

Mrs. Gabler contested the divorce and claimed that since the suit was filed she and her husband tayed at the Hotel Thorn one night, which, she claimed, should condone all past charges. Gabler claimed the name registered at the hotel was a forgery and the hotel register was taken" to the court room for inspection. WOULDN'T INSURE LIFE! That's One Reason Wife of Tames Park Asks a Divorce. Failure of her husband to keep his promise to take out insurance equal ing her pension loss if she married a second time and his alleged ultra economic methods of handing out money, are reasons assigned by Belle Park for asking a divorce from Janioa Park, an employe of the Capital City Creamery Co. Then, too. Park had n daughter by former marriage and i 3he had a daughter and a son by a former marriage and that caused trouble, as described in the petition I filed today in the office of the clerk of the district court. j Mrs. Park claims that ner husband i during their married life, which be gan January 22, 1919, gave her enly $5 a week for provisions, purchased one pair shoes for her, one pair lor her daughter and four pairs of stock ings. Those articles represent the to tal clothing purchases of the husband, the petition states. In addition, she complains, that he was guided by his daughter and paid no attention to her advice. She had a pension as a result of her for tier mar riage, and, she asserts, that he failed in his prom.se to cover "the losa of pension by marriage by taking out in sura nee She asks divorce und ali mony.

Bride Will Continue Film Work Off on Honeymoon. New York; May 3. Mrs. Irene Cas tle, famous dancer, and film star and Capt. Robert Treman of Ithaca, N. Y., were married shortly after noon today at the Little Church Around the Cor ner. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Hr. Houghton, rector of the fa mous Little Church Around the Cor ner. Bride Has Den!ctl Wedding The widow of Vernon Castle, who died a hero's death a little more than a year ago when he fell from an air plane in Texas, had consistently denied that she was to wed even after friends who had received invitations to attend the ceremony corroborated the ru mors. No later than yesterday she re fused to confirm the report. The couple went to the marriage license bureau here shortly before noon, where they obtained their per mit to wed. and were driven immedi ately to the church. The announce ment of the marriage came from the Lasky Feature Film corporation, after the ceremony had been performed and the couple had left the church. It was announced that Mrs. Castle will continue work in the films under the name of Irene Castle. The couple will leave at 9:30" to night for Loon Lake, in the Adlron dacks. Mrs. Castle will make her home In Ithaca, which is the home of the bridegroom, and in New York she will live at the Ritz hotel, giving up her home on Lexington avenue, where she lived with her former husband. Attended by Old Friends. Mrs. Castle and Captain Treman were attended at the wedding by life long friends. The bridesmaid was Mrs. Clement Amory of New York, and the best man was Sherman Peer of Ithaca, a classmate of Captain Treman. Philip Boyer, a broker, gave away. Mrs. Cistle was the bride dressed ii gray cjiai;meuse satin dress and wore hat. large gray picture The secrecy Mrs. Castle and Captain Treman had striven for was brushed aside by friends when practically all details of the ceremony were made public by degrees. The only thing lacking was the time set. Friends flatly refused to make this known. So when they slipped into the church the party was practically alone. A horde of newspaper men rushed up to the church some time-after the ceremony. SORRY TO SEE YANKS GO Friendly Farewells Given Departing: t 33rd Units in Luxemburg. riekeru?h, Luxemburg, May 1. The last contingent of the Thirty-third (Illinois National Guard) division was en route to Brest today, from which port the division is expected to em bark Monday. The two entraining points were Kt- telbruch, six miles west of this city. and Mersch, ten miles south. The 130th and 132nd infantry regiments were the first units to leave, followed by the rest of the doughboys, then the artillery and finally headquarters. Maj. Gen. George Bell motored to Brest several days ago to make ar rangements for getting the division thru the camp as, rapidly as possible. Departure of the 33rd from Luxem burg was in striking contrast to simi lar departures from Gemany. Manv Luxemburgers. including women and children, gathered at the stations, ex changing presents and farewells with tne Americans. The population was very friendly with the men of the di vision during its five months stay, and frequently entertained the men at dances and dinners. WOULD STOP INCREASE P. V. C.

In former loans the army has sub scribed to more than $205.0M,000 in bonds, and altho the personnel has been reduced by half, indications are the per capita subscriptions to the present loan will be greater than in any other. STATE WILL AID Will Join Towns in Protecting Water Supply. Oil Companies Warned ot To Pollute Streams. The state is to join with Kansas towns and cities in a. fight on oil com panies which pollute streams of this state with oil and salt water. Condi tions demanding immediate action were today laid before Judge S- M. fawkes, assistant attorney general, by Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health. It is prob able that action will be taken against a large number of large producing companies in the next few days. In recent months the fight of the state health department has been to protect the waters and drainage dis trict of the Walnut river in Butler and Cowley counties. Now the open ing of new oil fields threaten the water supplies of towns in the Cotton wood, Neosho and Verdigris river countries. Judge Hawkes asserted that the present state law was suffi ciently broad to cover the situation and that the state would join in a fight to protect the streams against contamination thru the flow of oil and salt brine into the streams. Towns Join In Fight. It is probable that a number of towns will join in the fight. Be cause the recent legislature failed to make provision for carrying on the campaign of the state health depart ment, the various cities may be re quired to provide funds to protect their streams- "Practically every town of impor tance in southeastern'Kansas relies on the Verdigris or Neosho rivers for their water supplies," said Doctor Crumbine. "If the pjresent operations in Marion county are continued, it means that the refuse from oil wells in the Cottonwood river district will be drained into the Cottonwood and Neo sho rivers. This refuse from the oil wells makes surface water for a num ber of towns so impure that it cannot be used. Nor is there any other water supply available. The only other wa ter available is the deep well water at Pittsburg and one or two other towns.' Warn Oil Companies. All oil companies are to be warned to protect against the contamination of water supplies. Reservoirs have been supplied by a number of com panies, but these are said to eventually drain into the streams and to render the water useless for domestic use. "I believe the state law is sufficient ly broad." said Judge Hawkes, "to permit the state to enjoin every oil company in Kansas, if necessary. The state will take every precaution to pro tect its streams against oil, salt brine and other refuse from wells and Is ready to proceed if the law is not obeyed." JAS. J. HUEY IN N. Y.

Huey is a cousin of Miss Thelma Houston of Topeka. He was a student at Stick ler's business college when he enlist ed in November, 1917. in the navy. He now ranks as a second class musician, aboard the U. S. S. America, the third largest of the former German ships taken over by the United States for transport service. "We call our ship the "Brest-Ho-boken Ferry'," said Huey today. "It lives up to its name, too, because we have been hardly anywhere except to those two ports. We have made thirteen round trips since I have been on the boat and in that time the only other place we've touched was on our last trip when we made Boston with units of the 26th (Yankee) division. That was two weeks ago. Now we are here for a week and then will start once more for Brest." Huey .has a brother living in Belvue.

Brown, his wife. Cruelty is the charge. Mrs. Brown, in her petition, charges that the labor 1 editor seized and choked her for the last time on Friday. May 2, the day before the petition was filed. Several other instances of cruelty are cited by Mrs. Brown in the petition. j A restraining order was issued im mediately by the court at the request of Mrs. Brown, who, in her petition, expressed fear of further physical harm from her husband.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1919 V, Topekan Should Always Watch Water Equipment. That Is Only Way To Tell When Leak Starts. MUCH WASTED BY NEGLECT Stanfield Tells How To Make Bills Small. 31ucli Water. Can Leak Thru a Little Hole. Commissioner Stanfield this morning expressed views on what people should know; about the meters and other water equipment in their homes and business establishments. 'Every water consumer who takes water by meter measurement," said Stanfield, "owes it to himself to know that he ia paying for no more water than he receives. He should there fore learn to read his meter and be careful to observe that there is no waste of water. If any leak is found in his pipe or fixtures, it should be repaired immediately, as any waste, however small it may appear, will look large when found on the bill, and the water department has no alterna tive but to charge for the full amount, whether consumed or wasted." Meters Io NOt Lie. "A meter," Stanfield said, "will not register more water than passes thru it, and if surprised at the size of the bill, tet your meter. It requires no expert to do this. This is the method: See that no water is being drawn from any of the fixtures, and watch the circle on the dial registering the small est number, of cubic feet. If the hand moves at all, there is a leak some where, the extent being shown by the movement of the hand. Take the reading the last hour before retiring at night and first hour in the morn ing before water has been drawn, and if the meter has registered any, you have a leak some place. An idea of the cost of a leak may be gained from an example Stanfield gave. "An orifice the s.ze of an or dinary lead pencil will, under 60 pounds pressure, discharge about 720 gallons per day, or 21,600 gallons per month, which is more than will be legitimately used by three families of five people each, amounting to $8.50, at the present rate." Know How to Shut Off Water. Stanfield also believes that every property owner should know the loca tion of the tap that turns off all water in his home. In that case, should a leak develop, the water could be shut off and a plumber called to fix the leak. He says, however, that after the supply source has been cut ofi there may be a flowing back of the water above the leak or in other parts of the pipe line. If it is above the leak, watec will run backi until the lines are drained of all water above the leak. willTe AT ORPHEUM Noted Stltclilew Presnraake Takes Bolt of Cloth and Makes Gowns. One time a critic, it is related, view ing a live owl with the supposition that it was stuffed, declared he could flo a better job with some sawdust and an old hat. But probably no one will make a similar assertion who sees Charles G. Pressley at the Orpheum next Friday and Saturday, who, with a bolt of uncut silk and six pins, drapes upon a living model a lovely evening gown in from three to six minutes. Pressley is former decorator and demonstrator for the Mutual Film company, and his model is Nova Dag gett, of "movie" fame. Evening gowns, afternoon gowns, street gowns and party gowns in all the leading styles will in quick succession be draped upon Miss Daggett before the eyes' of the audience in an average time of less than five minutes each. And you can't tell 'em from the ones made by hand and machine. Pressley is en route from the east to the west coast, and it was only by a stroke of good fortune that Manager G. L. Hooper of the Orpheum ob tained this interesting feature to be given in addition to the regular show. Pressley holds the world's champion ship as a designer and draper of wo men's gowns, and this will be an op portunity for Topeka to see him at his work in person. He is just off the Orpheum circuit and will asain take up his work with the Mutual Film company when he returns to Cali fornia, he said today. CITY SOON TO BECLEAN Eighty-Three Men Are Working With Twenty-Three Teams Sow. The bis annual city clean-up ll making splendid progress. Commis sioner Hancock says. More than two thirds of the city has been cleaned already. North Topeka has been all oleaned up and work on the East side has been completed, except for a small section of Oakland east of the Santa Fe shops, whore work will probably be finished up today, Hancock says. East of Kansas avenue, both north and south of Tenth street, the work has progressed as far as Western avenue.- There are 83 men working on, the Job. They handle 23 teams and wagons. The force is picking up all the trash In the alleys except ashes. These are to be left for a follow-up force. Heretofore ashes have been carried to a dump. Then, if any ashes were needed -to improve alleys, they had to he hauled back again. The ashes now are to he hauled direct to places where they are needed to im prove the alley or to be used in street improvement. This will save the cost of handling the material twice. Also this week Hancock has com pleted installation of a new boiler In the asphalt plant. A new frame build ing. St by 40 feet. Is being constructed to house the holler and plant.

REAL MONEY NOW Efcnnies "o Longer Iespised 17 by Grownup Folks. Men Reserve Special Pockets d for 'ewly Exalted Coins. Pennies have come into their own. No longer are they despised and shov ed off into little old banks to pine their hearts away because they can not Ret out and play around with the other money. f.The government tax regulation has raised the status of the penny in the money social scale. They now asso ciate on an equality with dimes, nick els, half dollars and "two-bit" pieces. In fact, the other money cannot pos sibly get along without the co-opera-tTon of the now exalted; penny- "When you make a purchase in most any store you may have it charged to your account, but if there be a tax on the article, you must come across with lt-lmmediat'ely And th chances are the tax will be a number of pennies. Old Customs Go Now. For many years women have had IMirses with little compartments to hld the various sized coins. But it has been different with men. Nickel tranglers" usually carried their coin rr a purse. But the regular guys Stuck theirs loosely into their favorite pocket for carrying money. The idea was so that one could hear it rattle wjien they did the evenim? promenade at 6 o'clock that is if they had any to rattle. Those were the days in which pennies were contemptuously sorted from association with real high class money and given to kids, stuck frwnominiously into penny banks to be forgotten, shoved into gum machine slots, spent for matches or thrown at cracks. It's been a hard life for the rmor penny. But now, Boy howdy. every man has a separate pocket for Ca re fully they are herded into a pocket reserved distinctly fnr pennies, and nothing but pennies. They have risen in life to a place in the sun at last. Think of it, a special apartment all of their own where they may as sociate with money of their own class safe from the contamination of other money. Except for an occasional dime that gets in by mistake. But the dime is soon eliminated and the pennies are satisfied with their new status. IX PLEA FOR BELGIUM Chaplain-Hero of Little Nation's Army Arrives in U. S. New York, May 3. Maj. Pierre Bloumaert, Protestant chaplain in chief of the Belgian army, Chevalier of the Order of Leopold and veteran of four and a half years continuous war service, has arrived here on a mission from the Belgian government to make known to this country the actual situation of the Belgian people at present and their needs in the work of -reconstruction. He is also a dele gate from the Union of Protestant Evangelical churches of Belgium to the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. "The first need of the Belgian peo ple at this time is work." he said. "We must have raw materials for use in re establishing our industries and credits for the purchase of materials and ma chinery."

OVENS IN PARKS Many Cities Anxious To Adopt Plan of Topeka. Beinisch Scheme a Great Thing for Picnic Parties. COOK ON OUTDOOR STOVES Everything Provided for Meals in City Parks. Two ew Ovens Are To Be In stalled in Ripley Park. The Topeka idea of furnishing means for park picnic parties to pre pare hot dinners in the public parks is being adopted all over the country and Inquiries are constantly coming in about the park oven plan that has been introduced here by E. F. A. Reinisch, superintendent of parks. The plan was introduced here sev eral years ago and there are now five or calf or something, without cutting it into pieces. Why people should wantonly wreck this public property is a thing Reinisch is unable to figure out. It wov'd seem that the accom modation would be more appreciated. However, the majority of persons who use them take as great care of the stoves as if they were in their own homes. Wire receptacles are pro vided instead of littering up the ground around the oven. Wood is usually piled hear the ovens. So it is not often necessary to chase all over the park looking for pieces of fire wood. However, Reinisch says, many persons evidently become impatient and tear vp young plants or break up shrubs and small trees in an effort to get fire building material. A dwarf tar tarian maple has been torn all to pieces. Nothing was left but the dead stump. A pagoda tree suffered the same fate. Pearl bushes and a Jap anese tamarisk have been ruined. Many of the plants destroyed were choice specimens, selected for their particular beauty, and are expensive mate-ial to build fires with. This has been done to so large an extent, says Reinisch, that the ground near the ovens resembles a desert more than it docs a park. Many Use the Ovens. However, to normal people the ovens remain a constant source of pleasure and they use common sense on their parties. Many groups of peo- Three Large Structures Are To Be Put Up at Once. An increase amounting to $636,977 occurred this April in the amounts called for on building permits over the amounts designated in the permits issued in April one year ago. This year forty-three permits were issued during the month. The amounts designated in the permits would bring the total money outlay called for up to $642,320.00. Last year in April nineteen permits were issued but the amount of money entering into the transactions was covered by $5, 343. The building permit issued for the construction of the Hotel Kansan call ing for an expenditure of $500,000 is one of the largest the city has ever is sued. Another permit with the amount stated as $70,000, issued to the Capper Publications for the construc tion of a large, new addition to the Capper plant, is the second largest permit. The third largest permit, calling for an expenditure of $35,000, was issued to the state printing plan fnr the con struction of a new addition at the plant. The other permits were for small structures, a few houses, more garages and for improvements and additions on buildings already constructed. CRUSH ED BY WHIPPET TANK. Chicago Corporal Meets Death on Victory Loan Tour. Chicago, May 3. A dispatch re ceived here said that Corp. T. Leslie Hyland. of Chicago, had been crushed to- death by a disabled whippet tank near Kirklin, Ind. The tank, which he had driven in the interest of the liberty loan, was on a truck en route to Indianapolis when it slipped and crushed him. Louisville "Over" in Loun. Louisville, Ky., May 3. Louisville has over-subscribed her quota of $11, 463,150 by more than $183,000. nioio bylMillard. Ovens used by picnic parties in Topeka parks. ovens in the public parks of the city on which meals can be cooked by out ing parties. Two new ones are to be constructed for Ripley park. The ovens were designed by Rein isch. They are built of brick and mor tar. The oven proper is 2 feet wide, IVz feet high and 5 feet long. At one end the oven is topped with a brick chimney six feet high from the ground. The tops of the ovens are fit ted out with two steel plates, each having two holes with steel coverings like a regular cook stove. The sim plicity of the design and their at tractive finish make them desirable additions to the equipment of any park or camping ground. Make Them Vandal-Proof. According to Superintendent Rein isch, however, the old ovens and the new ones to be constructed should be so equipped as to make them vandal proof. Not satisfied with the accom modations that have been furnished free for cooking meals, breakfasts and picnic dinners, some persons evidently did not like the arrangement of the top of the oven and proceeded to tear it out. Several of. the plates in the tops of ovens have been torn out probably to make room to roast a pig IIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN Back on the Job RECIMKMAL SEKCKANT MAJOR S. J.

In nice weather it is not un usual for parties to await their turn at the oven. Sometimes two parties manage to divide up space and cook oh the same stove. Early in the spring parties from the city commence to use the ovens. All summer long meal after meal is cooked on the useful ovens. This continues until late the fall when it too cold to enjoy out door parties. At Gage park, a source of fresh water is available close to each of the ovens. One has a deep well equipped with a pump close to it while the other two are near hydrants carry ing city water. "PINKY" BEALS HOME Be Tells of Playing Football Againpt Sam Stewart In France. Lieut. Herbert "Pinky" Beals. old Washburn gridiron hero, is back in To peka wearing two gold stripes and ar tillery boots with enough pigskin in them to make footballs for a Kansas conference season. Beals joined Bat tery A as a buck private and went to Lamp JJoniphan. He was later sent to an officers' training camp and went overseas with the 35th division. He has little to say about his war experi ences in trance, but can talk your arm off telling about some of the foot ball games he was in over there, in one of which he played against Lieut. Sam Stewart, another Washburn man. This was a divisional contest, am' ended in a tie. Another Washburn athlete who is back temporarily is Ensign Sam Hel ler. Heller is stationed at New York for the present and is here on a leave or absence, expecting to return to duty in a few days.

But in at least two cases he would have gotten a real $1,500 car. The car he actually Bought was a il.300 autumn bile masquerading as a $1,500 ma- cnine. Yet no salesman for either of the two concerns could convince the buyer or tne facts in the case. All he could see was the J500 for his. old car. He thought he had made a smart deal wnen he sold his second hand ma chine high. But there are even greater discrep ancies than this in some deals a man I know of took a car three years uiu m several aeaiers in high-priced machines, most of them properly high priced.

The dainty costumes of the girls, ranging in color from palest rose, to lilac, with spring green?, sky blues, light yellows, larkspur blues and pure white, contributed to the effect.

LETTER FROM A MAX ABOUT TOWN: Dear S. R.: You don't mind my writing you, do you? Knowing that Agatha is too busy with nearer, dearer things than the tittle-tattle of society, and that the club woman is too busy discussing the recent election and club house plans to take time to write, I wonder if I might not fill in the gap. It is generally believed that we men have minds above society gossip. But I'm going to let you in on a secret. We dearly love a bit o news. We may frown on the sort that breaks up fami lies and creates heartache; and we certainly don't stand for the gossip that tears a reputation to shreds, those of us who are decent do not, but we do like to sit back and listen to the chit-chat, and maybe help it along a little. Had you heard about the popular young married man who had two of his teeth knocked out in a collision between two dancing couples out at the Country club a short time ago? Thev were perfectly good teeth, too. no, not store teeth, but the sort that crow tin the mouth. Thev sav that one of the prominent women in Topeka has salesmanship of a very high order, tho she does not really need it, not being in any busi ness other than that of making a good home for her family, and the civic work that any capable woman does in her city. Not long ago she sold her mother parking space on Kansas ave-, nue. However, her mother came to before she had paid her money over to her daughter; so the deal fell thru. One of the impecunious friends of this good saleswoman has made a bid for her to sell her so-called literary out put for her on a commission. Did you hear about the two women, who brac3d the colonel in command of th? 110th engineers, and requested a pass for two enlisted men? They were interested because they hoped that the two young fellows, who are very popular In Washburn society cir- Has Improvements over nil other Portable o Personal writing ZZ machines. 5 SEE the "Baby' for a comparative demonstration before you buy.

As they belong to the Wednesday canteen, they had an op portunity to talk to some of the onV cers. They didn t know he was the colonel thought he wa3 a noncom, I suppose so told him about it, and enlisted his sympathy, so that the boys were able to come. The boys nearly fainted when told that their friends had asked THE COLONEL for a favor for fhem. The women of the Wednesday can teen are terribly pleased that they are to have the work of caring for the I3 0tn when it .comes thru Topeka. While any of the other workers would be glad of the chance, no one feels inclined to quarrel about it, ,for one and all take off their hats to the Wednesday canteen. And that's some stunt for a lot- of women, you can take it from a man taking off their hats to other women. It seems strange that the ultra set (make your own lis) hiven't discov ered how utte-ly charming a certain woman is in town, who has an incftme of $600 a day from an oil well. She IS charming, too, but that isn't the point. As N. S. A. says, that'll be about all. A MAN ABOUT TOWN. Notes and Personal Mention.

GIRLS, THE GILET It's a Cute Vest for Women All the Rage for Summer. presents a metallic brocaded gilet to the fore. Think what a helpful hint to husbands it would be to possess a gilet key to wifie's every mood. Not only are our suits all vested up. Our one-piece frocks and separate blouses, too, are being done with simu lated gilets. Capes have gilet fronts and, yes, they have even invaded the realm of the undergarment. When we take off our gilet at night it is only to slip on another in the form of a vestee-fronted nightie. The newest chemises and combinations with their distracting pinkness and sheerness, show, among other things, the gilet influence. As these gilets are prac tically born to blush unseen, however, it is with the gilet of the suit that we are most concerned.. Matching up these ubiquitous wain t coats with hat, parasol and bag is become a favorite sport. So you can plainly see that a suit guiltless of a gilet, is like a slip per sans the buckle and neither omis sion is permissible this season. 13 EURALG1A or Headache Rub the forehead and temples witii 7 x?

You'll swagger, willy uilly; Tho what really knocks 'em silly Is the girl behind the gilet. New York, May 2. You just must invest in a vest, for your new coat suit will be a total waste without a waistcoat. A little gilet is a dazzling thing, par ticularly when it is made out of one of those gorgeous metallic brocaded ribbon lengths. Blazing in gold and silver and hectic dyes, it helps the modern maid present a brilliant front to the world, even tho the deepest of indigo serge surges all around her. Indeed, every well regulated and up-to-date coat suit opens up over a gilet and opens up at the same time such endless possibilities of divers and different gilets that it's no wonder all the feminine world is simply gilet mad. Now that Sister Susie has ceased sewing shirts for soldiers, she is fev erishly busy making up endless gilets for herself out of odds and ends in the family scrap bag. For these fascinat ing little vestees that lend such charm and piquancy to the severest suits are positively evolved out of any thing and everything. Wool and silk jersey, hand embroi dered in vivid yarns; broadcloth .stitched in silk, or even stenciled in a bold design; linen and pique, mascu linely buttoned, plain and close, with pearl, sheer, frilly, feminine affairs of hand tucked, ruffled and lace inserted organdie are but a few of the 67 vari eties. There are quaint little change able taffeta waistcoats that present a double front and show a dainty inset of ivory toned batiste, lavishly tucked ruffled and lace trimmed, like a much befrilled shirt front of the long ago male fop. Still others are quilted like the spare room bedspread and others have eruptions of colored beads i in intricate designs. Braiding, too. adds its decorative touch and often a bit of har.d painting vies with the similar treatment of the face above the gilet. It is perfectly obvious that to be the proud possessor of one gilet doesn't at all suffice. The really smart woman owns a whole collection. One for each day in the week. They run the gamut of all the styles and also all her emotions- When she is feeling feminine and meltingly alluring, she dons a soft and frilly vest of organdie; a bit devil ish, and a striking black and white striped affair of taffeta is her choice; when cold and haughty and severe, one of those plain pique effects; wist ful and sad, a dove gray jersey splash ed with beaded tears of steel; or, scin tillating, opulent and full of pep. she We are thoroly equipped to take care of all kinds of Furniture Repairing We are also manufacturers of NEW OVERSTUFFED FURNITURE.

Director, Washlnff ton, I. C. Since January, according to custom house statistics, we have lost about 100,000 of our foreign-born residents. They are said to be leaving our shores abundantly supplied with funds, each applicant for a passport having be tween $1,000 and 115.000 in his pos session. About 60 per cent of those now leaving are said to be persons who fled here during the early days of the war to escape military service. They obtained work in our factories, mills and mines and .are returning with the savings of four years or thereabouts. One of the officials of the war trade board quotes assertions to the effect that about 5,000,000 foreign-born residents are making ar rangements to leave for Europe this year or as soon as it is possible to ob tain passage. When we consider the difficulties in the way of getting our troops home from Kurope, with every facility of transportation afforded. It becomes apparent that 5,00(,000 for eigners have little chance to reach Eu rope In the next year or even two years, unless conditions change ma terially. But whatever the size of the movement it will have a tendency to reduce an already inadequate labor supply and will aid in keeping wages high. There Is a class of foreigners in this country that we could very well do without but it is not the class that is leaving. Those who are going are the workers and some way should be devised to induce them to remain here. With good roads thevfarmer can de liver all his products direct to towns Within a radius of fifty or more miles and tho making more profit himself, he is reducing the high cost of living. Encouraging reports continue to come from native forces opposed to tht Uolsheviki 1n Russia. The leader of the Orenburg Cossacks, Ataman Dutoff, is quoted as follows: "A meet ing of the commanders of all the anti Bolshevint armies has taken place in Cheliabinsk, where all the problems connected with the mobilization, am munition and supply for the armies omil all the strategic questions were discussed. We left the meeting with tiie firm conviction that we will suc ceed in crushing Bolshevism. Admiral Kolchak leads us atf. understanding that the fate of the Russian, people can be decided only thru the constituent "assembly. Our offensive is going o"rV splendidly, and we expect to be jfaoseow not later than by August." Italy's effort to obtain a lodgment in Piiime is comparable to a desire to explore the business department of a hornet's nest. While there are many factors gov erning the rate of wages, one factor of much significance is the volume of capital available in the country. As capital comes into a country, wages tend to rise. As capital flows away from a country, wages are retarded. The interests of the laborer and the interests of the active business man, says Commerce Monthly, are Identical on this point. As capital comes into a, country, interest rates tend to be lower, but the profits of the active businesses tend to be greater. There is a movement on foot for better roads. Every business man, every home provider, and every mo torist should support it. Good roads benefit all classes of people in their everyday life. Good roads bring auto mobllists. They spend money. Good roads bring trade, and Increase prop erty values. They attract home-seck-ers and industries. The advance in telephone rates in this city may be justified by the con ditions but the matter is open to doubt in view of the fact that the increase is declared to be in accordance with or ders from the postmaster general. Mr. Burleson has operated the wire systems in defiance of state laws as tho his will were the only law in ths case. Under his direction rates have increased and service Has decreased. He has increased rates and at the same time he has built up deficits, which must be made good out of pub lic funds. The war emergency has passed, yet he is forever attempting to tighten his grip on the wire sys tems. If he be offered opposition, he wrecks the organisation opposing him. It is notable that the local telephone management did not find it necessary to advance rates until Burleson took over the service. THE HOUSING PROBLEM, paily it becomes more apparent that the man who does not own a home must acquire one either by building or purchase or he must pay a higher rent. The longer .he post pones action the more he will pay. There are not enough houses to meet the demand and the people must have shelter. A wave of indignation is sweeping over the larger cities thruout the country because of the rapidly rising rents and against landlords who. It is alleged, are taking advantage of the present situation. In New York not a few tenants who had enjoyed leases signed two years ago, in many in stances at less than pre-war scale, re fused to meet increased rent and were promptly' ejected by the landlords. The rents in New York are said to have gone up from 50 to 100 per cent. Even before the armistice last No vember, in the city of Washington, D. C, rents were reported to have gone up from 100 to 300 per cent. Today in Pittsburgh, in Philadelphia, in Bos ton, in Baltimore, in Kansas City, in St. Louis, in Los Angeles, in Detroit, in fact, thruout the breadth and length of this land, rents have risen to com plete the chain of the exceedingly high cost of living and to frex, harass and irritate those who do not own their homes and who must have a roof over their heads. The causes of the existing situation as viewed by Investment News are: Government embargo on construc tion; high cost of material and labor; complete suspension of construction because of inadequate returns on cap ital invested. The solution of the problem nat urally is the removal of the causes that brought the problem into exist ence. Future adequate supply of space for domesticuse can only come into existence thru stimulating pro duction. But even here some factors must tie reckoned with, factors that exist and probably will not pass away for years to come. Even if building on a large scale were to be started at once, it would have little, if any, effect upon the rental problem, for the simple rea son that the cost of construction to day is anywhere from 60 to 100 per cent higher than in pre-war days. Now capital will be invested only where adequate returns are shown, consequently if construction is to go on under present conditions with la bor and materials almost 100 per cent costlier than they were fojur or five years ago, it follows inevitably that on such investments a just return must be shown to the builder, and that adequate return means highar rents. Aside from the handicap in the mat ter of high costs of materials, there is another handicap which is equally, if not more serious than' the handicap of material, and it is the handicap of labor. Labor shows no tendency to decline, quite thte opposite. In the last few weeks a widespread campaign has been started with a View to re ducing both hours of labor per day and the total number of hours per week. Under such conditions it is simply hoodwinking one's self to ex pect a material reduction in the cost of construction or to expect, because of the decreased hours of labor per day, an increased efficiency. Such a situation, if it continues any great length of time, and Mr. Gompers and other labor leaders say that it will continue, can have -no other tendency than to keep present costs high, and probably raise that level even higher. When" the peace conference is ad journed in favor of the peace congress it is probable that the German dele gates will rest their case on the four teen points. They will say they agreed to the armistice on these points and will accept no peace on any other ba sis. Germany will declare that the peace offered to her violate some of these points, and will use every arti fice of the old diplomacy to press her case. She will resort to bluff and ev ery conceivable device to postpone the operation of the peace terms, to les sen their severity and to escape from the just retribution of her crimes. Her strongest card will be her accept ance of the fourteen points as the ba sis of the armistice and of peace, and the argument that these points have not been lived up to. But in the end she will sigri, because there is no other way. The effects of the changes in sal aries and wages and working condi tions on the railways which have been made under government control are strikingly reflected by the statistics regarding the pay roll for January. 1919," says the Railway Age. The last month of private control was Decem ber, 1917. In that month the railways handled practically the same traffic as In January, 1919. In January, 1919'. however, they had 145,026 more em ployes than In December, 1917. With the average wage per employe going up and the average amount of traffic handled per employe going down it is easy to understand why the changes in wages and working conditions are having so unfavorable effects upon net earnings. EVENING STORY When Lands Do 'ot Matter. By S. B. HACKLEY. He had been on the road with the six fine saddlers he would not trust to anybody else's care, several hot. fatiguing days, and his long form slid wearily into the restaurant chair. "A bite and a cup for you, Gilbert Shore, then bed the glories of Frisco can wait," he thought. Just across from him dined a man of fifty with a neck and a girth the like of which young Shore never re membered seeing outside the 'stock yards. The slim young waitress who served him brought iced water and hot soup, cold milk and hot coffee, and it seemed to the Kentuckian every known meat, salad, vegetable, but censure only rewarded her efforts. "What have you for dessert?" the eater finally demanded. "Lemon frie, snow pudding, rasp berries and strawberriy ice cream." "I'll take 'em!" he growled; "and bring 'em quick!" Watching this interesting specimen devour, the young man did not notice that the girl was standing at. his own elbow. "Your order, please," she was say ing. Her cheeks were flushed with her encounter with the fat brute, her soft voice was not -quite steady and there was a mist in her eyes. eyes deep and dark blue like the ocean when the summer sun is over it. A wave of protecting tenderness swept over Shore; he had much ado to keep from pushing away his simple order and feasting his eyes on her win some face, but he was a diffident young man, and a gentleman, so he pretended to. eat, and used his eyes only by stealth. And the girl? Long ago Allsie Ran dolph had learned that silent unrespon siveness to all social advances of the young masculine customer -was a girl's safeguard from insult, but she looked at the young man with his fine eyes, his clear, healthy skin and his charm ing manner and almost wished that he would ask her to go out withhim. But he did not. However, on his third day in San Francisco, the aristocratic old lady with whom he lived on the great Blue Grass stock farm received a telegram: "Will be detained longer than I ex pected. Start back Tuesday." "Oh. Grandmother Girl, if you knew why I am staying." he thought whim sically, "you'd say I'd been sleeping in the moonlight and lost my senses!" On the evening he ate his twentieth meal at the Bay View Restaurant, the man of the thick neck was leaving just as he took his seat at the next table. "That man needs a man to punch his head for bullying a little thing like you," he remarked. "I'd just like Oh, sir, please", she interrupted him, half frightened, "he's a regular customer here! I I don't really mind. One one gets used to the un pleasantness here!" Shore's heart prompted him to say, "Little one. let me take you away from all this unpleasantness forever!" But he only said somewhat diffidently that if she would let him, he would take her to see a good play some where that evening. Ailsie's heart leaped, but she fal tered. "I do not go out with custom ers!" Then she fled to the kitchen. When she came back he was gone, and a twisted bit of papeV and a sin gle Marechal Neil rose lay beside bis plate. "Oh, Little White Apron," the note said. "I wish I could feel that you trust me, stranger as I am! I like to think there is nothing in my fate to frighten a girl. I'm leaving in the morning, but I shall see you again, for I'm comins back to see if you be lieve the message of the rose!" It was signed "Gilbert Shore. Bon Aqua Farms, Treadwell, Kentucky." "What is the sentiment of the Mare chal Neil rose. Sissy?" the girl asked her widowed sister that evening. Corona reached for the dictionary. 'Adoration, or 'yours, heart and soul'," she quoted. Ailsie slipped back to her room and held the delicate rose for a long trem ulous moment to her lips. "If only I knew he meant it!" she whispered. He was so lovable and so good-looking, but there were so many with good looks and bad intentions! "And," she thought bitterly, "he is rich and I am a beggar!" One evening in February she saw him enter the restaurant again. He came straight to her table, his brown eyes, eager, glad.' "Oh, little White Apron," he said softly "I couldn't stay away any long er! Do you. believe what the rose MY HOSBAND AND I BY JANE THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BARBARA'S PARENTS ARE .DISAPPROVING. CHAPTER LIV. I was not at all surprised at either father or mother mentioning the way we lived. I had expected they would. That father had meant anything save from a money standpoint, when he had said he was afraid for Neil and me, I never dreamed. I knew our ex travagant way of living our servants, cars, etc. seemed, much of it, need less to them. That father thought we should save, I also knew. He had in fact asked me if we had saved any thing since our marriage, and I had to confess I did not know. I told him to ask Neil, but he would not. "He might think me meddlesome, Bab," had been his answer. Aftei"they left I recalled that con versation and asked Neil if we had saved much money since we had been married. "Why so suddenly inquisitive?" he had queried. "Oh, nothing Only father asked me if we had saved a certain propor tion of what you had earned, and I couldn't tell him because I didn't know." "In the sense your father meant, I guess we haven't saved much. A man needs his money in his business now adays. I am insured for you and the baby, but what cash I have, I have to use. Your father would want me to put it into a savings bank at 3 or 4 per cent when I can make many times that by using it." "But is it safe, Neil?" "Safe as can be." That ended all my worries over saving. Neil knew how much we could afford to spend, and until he called a halt I need not feel anxious. In fact I did not even ask how much insurance he had, so sure was I that he had done what was best. Lorraine Morton called the day af ter father and mother left. I had seen no one while they were with me. It had been mother's wish that we should not entertain, but that we spend the time quietly. told? Do you trust me enough to go out to the theater with me this eve ning?" Allsie fought back the happiness looking out of her eyes. "I must work until 2," she told him, "but you may go and call on my married sister and my invalid father. But do not stay Kite. Father must sleep early." "He will not go," she told herself bitterly. "He will not go! They nev er do!" But even as she said it her heart whispered that she believed he would. "He is rich and we have nothing, Corona," Ailsie remonstrated when Co rona told her in delight she had ac cepted Shore's invitation for them all to go motoring with him next day. 'We are not the people he belongs with." When two weeks later Shore asked Ailsie to marry him the girl could not keep the glow of joy out of her face, but she crushed it from her voice. "I cannot," she told him. "You might remember one day that I was poor and think that your riches tempt ed me. That would break my heart." "Oh!" he said, easily, "I'm not a millionaire, ;if that's what's worrying you. Don't punish me because of the little grandfather left me." But she was obdurate. "I cannot marry you," she repeated. "Don't you love mc?" he Insisted. But she turned her telltale face away. "I will come back," he said then, white and unhappy, "when you have had time to think it over." "No," she .said, her voice shaking, "do not come. I cannot ever marry you." In May the city. was full of fair vis itors. One noon when Ailsie's whole body ached with weariness, her heart most of all, two southerners sat at her table. "I heard Gilbert Shore got badly smashed up out fox hunting about two months ago," the younger man re marked to the older.- "How is he these days, doctor?" "He's doing no good," the older man answered, and Ailsie's heart stood quite still. "When I told him- the other day if he didn't try he'd never get so he could walk or get well, he said: 'I wish, to please you, doctor, I could take more interest in getting well, but what's the use?' Something besides his injury's troubling him, Raymond. I'm going to prod him into telling me when I get back!" A few days later a young man sit ting in an invalid chair on the porch of a fine country home in the Blue Grass, his eyes closed, suddenly felt a pair of arms around his neck. "Oh, Gilbert," a oft voice breathed, "tell me you are not going to die! I came I came For a moment he looked at her. un comprehending, then his eyes lighted with triumphant happiness. "And so you came to do good to the dying? Oh, Little White Apron, can't you do good to the living and stay with him forever?" Then he added in tender whimsicality. "I ought to tell you.

DINNER STORIES A good story which the late Lady Dorothy Nevill used to tell related to the early railway days, when smoking on the company's premises was for bidden. A passenger on the Great Western was transgressing the by-law at a station in Wiltshire, and contin ued to do so in spite of a warning from the station master. Thereupon the latter pulled the cigar out of his mouth-and threw it away. A few min utes after the Duke of Beaufort's car riage arrived and the stranger entered and drove off toi Badminton. It was Lord Palmerton. Fearful of the consequences, the station master engaged a chaise and pair and followed. Arrived at Bad minton, he succeeded in obtaining an interview with Lord Palmerton, to whom he made a most abject apology. "Parti's" reply was characteristic. "Sir, Ix respected you before, be cause I thought you were doing your auty iiKe a Briton, but now I see that you are nothing but a snob!" "What are your, views on the sub ject of prohibition" "Well," replied Uncle Bill Bottle top, 'Mt you could regulate rum so as to limit the combination to good men and good licker there mightn't be so much damage. But somehow the bad men and the bad licker always get together and spoil any little decent reputation alcohol ever did have." PHELPS "We see each other so seldom," she had apologized. So when Lorraine came in I was sure I should hear the accumulated gossip of the two weeks my parents had been with me. "Oh, by the way, Bab," she sud denly broke off a description of a new dress she had ordered, "you remem ber that day we called on Blanche Orton it was just before your father and mother came? You know I have not seen you since." "Yes what of it?" "That dinner Blanche gave was a man-affair. "How do you know?" "Mrs. Lacy's cook is sister to a new maid Blanche just hired. She told the cook that there were three men and no women at the dinner. That one of. the men was lovely, but that the other two were awful especially one of them. That they didn't know how to eat, what forks to use. or anything. And she said that they all drank a lot, even the nice one. And that the one she said was the worst, got noisy and was perfectly dreadful." "How can she endure such men?" I said disgusted. "It is strange. Isn't it? Mrs. Lacy asked the same question and the maid said that all they talked about was money, and stocks. Oil stocks. I think she said. I was so interested!" Usually the naivete of Lorraine's last remark would have amused me. But I scarcely heard it. Who could the three men have been whom Mrs. Orton entertained that night? I re called quite distinctly that Neil had not come home for dinner, and that it had been very late when he came in. This fact was clear in my mem ory because I had afterwards wished that I had asked Lorraine to stay and keep me company. Could it be was Neil the "lovely" man the maid had told of as being Mrs. Orton s guest? And were the other two some of those boorish rich men I had refused to receive? "If you don't, there are women who will." That speech of Neil's came back so plainly that I scarcely realized thaw Lorraine bad said good-by and I was alone. 4To be Continued. 1 heWonderfur StoimolQ r7J8b&4 IV L.

The Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkin- head ware still playing at quoits in the courtyard when the game was in terrupted by the abrupt entrance of the Royal Army of Oz, who cams fly ing in without his hat or gun, his clothes in sad array and his long beard floating a yard behind him as he ran. "Tally one for meY' said the Scare crow, calmly. "What's wrong, my man?" he added, addressing the Sol dier. The City is conquered!" gasped the Royal Army, who was all out of breath. "This is quite sudden," said the Scarecrow. "But please go and bar all the doors and windows of the pa'- ace, while I show this Fumpkinhead how to throw a quoit." The Soldier hastened to do this, while Tip, who had arrived at his heels, remained in the courtyard to look at the Scarecrow with wondering eyes. His Majesty continued to throw the quoits as coolly as if no danger threat ened his throne, but the Pumpkin- neaa, naving caugnt signt or Tip, am bled toward the boy as fast as his wooden legs would go.

Are you cracked at all?" "No, I arrived safely, answered Jack, "and his Majesty has been very kind indeed to me. At this moment the Soldier with the Green Whiskers returned, and the Scarecrow asked: "By the way, who has conquered me "A regiment of girls, gathered from the four corners of the Land of Oz." replied the Soldier, still pale with fear. "Btit where was my Standing Army at the time?" inquired his Majesty, looking at the Soldier, gravely. Your Standing Army was run ning," answered the fellow, honestly; "for no man could face the terrible weapons of the invaders." "Well." said the Scarecrow, after a moment's 'thought, "I don't mind much the loss of my throne, for it's a tiresome job to rule over the Emer ald City. And this crown is so heavy that it makes my head ache. But I hope the Conquerors have no intention of injuring me, just because I happen to be the King." "I heard them say," replied Tip with some hesitation, "that they in tend to make a rag carpet of your out side and stuff their sofa-cushions with your inside." "Then I am really in danger, de clared his Majesty, positively, "and it will be wise for me to consider a means to escape." "Where can you go?" asked Jack Pumpkinhead. "Why, to my friend the Tin Wood man, who rules over the Winkies, an4 calls himself their Emperor," was the answer. "I am sure he will protect me." BLAL GLORY.

"Then bearing us upon his back, he must make a dash thru the ranks of the rebels and carry us to my friend the Tin Woodman," announced the Scarecrow. "He can'f'carry four!" objected Tip. "No, but he may be induced to car ry three," said his Majestey. "I shall therefore leave my Royal Army be hind. For, from the ease with which he was conquered, I have little con fidence in his powers." v "Still, he can run," declared Tip, laughing. "I e::pected this blow,' said the Soldier, sulkily; "but I can bear it. I shall disguise myself by cutting off my lovely green whiskers. And, after all, it is no more dangerous to face those reckless girls than to ride this fiery, untamed wooden horse!" "Perhaps you are right," observed his Majesty. But, for my part, not being a soldier, I-am fond of danger. Now, my boy, you must mount first. And please sit as close to the horse's neck as possible." Tip climbed quickly to his place, and. the Soldier and the Scareorow man aged to hoist the Tumpkinhead to a seat just behind him. There remained so little space for the King that he was liable to fall off as soon as the horse started. "Fetch a clothesline," said the King to- his Army, "and tie us all together. Then if one falls off we will all fall off." And while the Soldier was gone for the clothesline his Majesty continued. HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you please tell me something that I could do to take away blackheads? Also a treatment which will prevent them from returning? Could you tell me if Dr. is con sidered a reliable physician for facial treatments? BESSIE. Lotion for blackheads: Pure brandy, two ounces; cologne, one ounce; liquor of potash, one-half ounce. Apply at night, after washing the face thoroly with soap and water. The best way to keep blackheads from returning is to wash the face thoroly with warm water and soft soap every night before retiring. Also do not eat rich or sweet foods. Jt is against the policy of this col umn to comment upon a physician's qualifications. Consult your family physician. If he does not already know the. beauty doctor's reputation, he will make inquiries for you. D?ar Mrs. Thompson: I hav seen a girl several times and would Tike to meet her, but no one seems to know her. How can I meet her? ANXIOUS. Keep up your search for some one who knows the girl. Thru an intro duction is the only right way to be come acquainted. of his stores, and in New York there is a building which he erected that will stand as a monument to hia faith. 1 The great Woolworth building, erected out of the profits of five and ten cent stores, is the tallest commer cial structure in the world. It cost over a dozen millions and this man left a fortune of over thirty millions! But he was a failure at tventy-six! Woolworth largely succeeded thru his desire to serve the many. In little things he lay great stress. And It was the little things that made him mil lions. Woolworth had many wonder ful habits. One of them was to send a telegram to all of his hundreds of store managers every once in a while greeting them and asking them if they had said "Good Morning" to their cus tomers that day Little things need attention first always. Then the big things follow. Woolworth was a failure at twenty six. And he startefl all over with the U-t'e things. He died big and great. Yon too can do wonders. Perhaps with, YOUR "Good Morning!" 7 It Is well for me to be careful, for my very existence is in danger." "I have tospe as careiuis you do," said Jack. "Not exactly," replied tne Scare crow; "for if anything happened to me, that would be the end of me. But if anything happened to you, they could use you for seed." The Soldier now returned -with a long line and tied all three firmly to gether, also lashing them to the body of the Saw-Horse; so there seemed lit tle danger of their tumbling off. 'TN'ow throw open the gates," com manded the Scarecrow, "and we will make a dash to liberty or to death." The courtyard in which they were standing was located in the center of the great palace, which surrounded it on all sides. But in one place a pas sage led to an outer gateway, which the Soldier had barred by order of his sovereign. It was th.u this gateway his Majesty proposed to escape, and the Royal Army now led the Saw Horse along the passage and unbarred the gate, which swung backward with a loud crash. 1 "Now," said Tip to the horse, "y&m must save us all. Run as fas as you can for the gate of the City, and don't let anything stop you.f "All right!" answered the Saw Horse. gruffly, and dashed away so suddenly that Tip had to gasp for breath and hold firmly to the post he had driven into the creature's neck. Several of the girls, who stood out side guarding the palace, were knock ed over by the Saw-Horse's mad rush. Others ran screaming out of the way, and only one or two jabbed their knitting-needles frantically at the escap ing prisoners. Tip got one small prick in his left arm, which smarted for an hour afterward; but the needlea had no effect upon the Scarecrow or Jack Fumpkinhead, who never even sus pected they were being prodded. As for the Saw-Horse. he made a wonderful record, upsetting a fruit cart, overturning several meek looking men, and finally bowling over' the new Guardian of the Gate a fussy little fat woman appointed by General Jinjur. Nor did the impetuous charger stop then. Once outside the walls of the Emerald City he dashed along the road to the ,West with fast and vio lent leaps that shook the breath out of the boy and filled the Scarecrow with wonder. Jack had ridden at this mad rate once before, so he devoted wry ef fort to holdir-g, with both his hands, his pumpkin head upon its stick, en during meantime the dreadful jolting with the courage of a philosopher. "Slow him up! Slow him up!" shouted the Scarecrow. "My straw is all shaking down into my legs." But Tip -had no breath to speak, so the Saw-Horse continued his wild ca reer unchecked and with unabated speed. Presently they came to the banks of a wide, river, and without a pause the wooden steed gave one final leap and launched them all in mid-air. A second later they were rolling, splashing and bobbing about in the water, the horse struggling frantically to find a rest for its feet and Its rid ers being first plunged beneath the rapid current and then floating upon the surface like corks.
