MORE LIME PITS ARE FOUND Deeds Discovered on Place May Show Another Murder. Papers Belonging to Nebraskan Are Unearthed. Rufe King, accused triple murderer, displayed hig first signs of nervous ness and anxiety in the Shawnee county Jail today. Finding of more bones and piling up of evidence day by day finds King as calm and collected as the ocean on a quiet day. The expected arrival of a little woman, his wife. Mrs. Grace King, caused the signs of anxiety and con cern on the face of the big giant In the solitaire cell. His shock of hair usually resembling a badly constructed bird nest was plastered to the sides of his huge head. His trousers showed signs of having been placed under the mattress to keep their crease over night, probably an old armv trick learned by King when he served with I the colors during the Spanish-American war. His hands were cleaner, his face was brighter, his eyes glistened. Imager to Sec Wife. "You know my wife's coming up here today." he said. "She's in Eskrldge this morning. I can't guess what hour she'll arrive. If she comes by train she won't get here till after supper." The arrival of his wife seemed to detract his attention from the bones and skulls of the men he is accused of murdering. He was in a good hu mor, but nervous for the first time, and didn't seem to care much about talking. That King had a mania for skulls was evidenced In a conversation with j him Friday afternoon. He told of, cring to a cemetery in the Philippine Islands Just before leaving and col lecting three skulls. "I got the littlest ones I could find," he said. "I wanted to bring them home to the boys. I was afraid I would have trouble in getting them Into this country, but I didn't have a bit." "Well, those aren't the skulls found on your farm?" he was asked. "N'o'p. I don't know a thing about them." Clue To Another Victim? William R. Ringer, owner of land In Antelope county. Neb., may have been the mysterious peddler, who was an alleged victim of Rufe King at Maple Hill. Ringer may have been one of the victims believed by officers and residents of Maple Hill to have been buried in a lime pit on King's al leged murder farm. Deeds conveying land In Antelope county. Nebraska, to William R. Ringer have been found in King's former home in Maple Hill. The deeds were found with other papers and may ultimately furnish a strong link in the chain of circumstantial evidence connecting King with the disappear ance of numerous persons. An imme diate investigation is to be made by the state to determine whether Ringer uaj really the strange peddler who made periodical trips to Maple Hill or whether he may have been another of the many men who seem to have started on a trip and never returned. Officials Were Misled? Several days ago, King told state counsel that the name of the Peddler was Gregg. An amended complaint in the case was filed this week at Eskridge charging King with the mur der of an unknown man and with the I murder of a man named Gregg. Both I counts are charged in the one com I plaint. Now state attorneys believe King may have misled them as to the j identity of the peddler, or that Ringer is a possible new victim. The address of the possible new victim is not definitely known. He possessed deeds of conveyance for real estate in Antelope county, Nebraska, and all of the papers were properly re corded and formally certified. Thru tne register of deeds office in the Nebraska county an investigation has been started to determine if pos sible the identity of Ringer. County Attorney Martin of Wabaunsee coun ty: Maurice McNeill, assistant attor- I ney general, and Otis Hungate, special state counsel, have conferred regard ing the finding of transfer records. They are convinced the deeds will establish the Identity of the peddler or that of another victim. May Trip King. Should Ringer prove to be the name of the peddler.

MYSTERT "Nobody Kicks at Paying- High Prices" and "Money Is Plenti ful," Dealers Tell Court. Lansing. Mich., Aug. 23. The mys tery of high food prices was "solved" here this week. It is "because no body kicks at paying higher prices and because money irf plentiful." This, in gist, was the explanation given by several witnesses called be fore Judge Welst, sitting as a grand Jury. It was expected today some what the same excuse will be given by more witnesses when the hearing opens next Tuesday. This reason was applied not only to food but to wearing apparel. Clif ford J. Page, shoe dealer of Lansing, said shoes he bought for $8 sold for J12, which he said is "33 H Per cent profit." "It Is a 'trade custom' to reckon profit percentage on the selling price," Page told the court. "Prices are not dependent in any sense on supply and demand at pres ent, but on the autocratic action of associations of producers," John Buehler, Lansing grocer, said, in ad mitting that the consumer not only paid the expenses of every middleman, out, as wen, nis proiu.

Topeka policemen at a meeting held Friday night formed tentative plans for organization preparatory to apply ing for a charter from the American Federation of Labor. First plans for organization were drawn up at a meet ing held two nights ago. Up until the present time Chief of Police George G. Hannan and Clyde Tresner. chief of detectives, have not been asked to affiliate with the union organization of policemen. At a meet ing to be held early next week offi cers will be elected and final work of organization will be perfected. The next step will be to apply to the Amer ican Federation of Labor for a char ter affiliating the local union with that organization. Police officers discussing the organ ization today stated that with a union the old "spoils" system employed by this administration as welt as practi cally all former administrations could be avoided. This indicated that re moval for reasons others than ineffi ciency by a new mayor would be met with organized resistance on the part of the police force. It is claimed that the successful formation of a union will throw the old police political ma chine out of business. Want More Pay. However, this reform plan Is not the primary reason for organizatTon of a union, police officers stated. The fact that the firemen obtained a big ger raise thru their organization than the policemen is given as a reason for organization. Police officers with large families claim it Is next to Im possible to exist at this time on the $99 a month of a patrolman. Patrolmen Interested- in the organ ization claim their affiliation with the unions will not effect thier enforce ment of law In case of a strike In which union men are aggressors. Their first duty, they claim, will be to en force the law. All Agree To Join. i It was stated this morning that practically every officer had agreed to Join the organization. Clyde Tresner. chief of detectives, in a statement Fri day expressed doubt as to whether af filiation with the American federa tion of Labor at this time would be good policy, due to the bitterness ex isting between mill owners and cereal workers.

So-Called Jap Steal Fronipts First Amendment. REPORT TREATY WITHIN WEEK Senator Lodge Promises Speed Up Ratification. To President Is Asked for U. Pact With Poland. Washington, Aug. 28. By a vote of 9 to 8. the senate foreign relations committee adopted an amendment to the peace treaty by which German rights in Shantung province, China, would go to China Instead of Japan. All the Democratic members and Senator McCumber, Republican, North Dakota, voted against the amendment. Substitute "China" for "Japan." Chairman Lodge offered the amend ment under which the word "Japan" would be stricken from the Shantung section of the treaty and the word "China" substituted.

Leaving the committee room after the roll call. Senator Brandegce made the following statement: "The committee has Just voted on a roll call by a vote of 9 to 8, Senator McCumber voting with the Democrats, to strike out the word 'Japan' wher ever it appears in Articles 156, 157 and 158 of the treaty of Versailles, and Insert in lieu thereof the word 'China.' The effect of this is that the commit tee on foreign relations favors the re turn of the German concessions In Shantung to China Instead of to Ja pan. "Senators Shields, Hitchcock and Pittman, Democrats, were not present, but by agreement their votes were re corded In the negative. Senator Lodge made the motion to strike out Japan and Insert China." Within a week the foreign relations committee will be ready to report the peace treaty to the senate. Senator Lodge has assured administration leaders, among them Senator Hitch cock, it was learned today. Hearings to be granted Greeks, Egyptians, Irish and others will be deferred until after the committee re-, ports If that Is necessary to avoid de lay, according to Republican commit tee members' plans. Vpte on Amendments Today. The committee met today in execu tive session to begin voting on treaty amendments. The meeting was pre ceded by a conference of Republican members, who hoped authat time to unite on a program of committee work that will speed up as much as possi ble the disposition of the amendments. They repeated that there is not enough votes for textual amendments to cause approval of a single commit tee amendment. With the treaty actually before the senate, the final phase of the fight will.be on and senators predicted it willVclipse in oratorical fury and heat anvthing that has gone before. Both Republican and Democratio leaders predict that the committee will adopt several amendments to the body of the treaty, but the Democrats assert all of them will be voted down in the snate. The amendments proposed cover a wide range. Senator Fall, Repub lican, New Mexico, wants to have no American representation on the va. rlous reconstruction commissions deal ing with European matters. Senator Knox. Republican, Pennsylvania, pro posed that the peace terms and tha League of Nations covenant be sep arated and the latter reserved for later consideration. Senator Borah, Repub. llcan, Idao, would defeat the league covenant entirely by simply striking It out of the treaty. Amendments also are to be offered to the economic and labor sections.

Dlekman to San Antonio last night Is considered here as an indication that the situation below the border is not serioua, ultho the fear of a clash be tween Mexicans in the mountains and American troops was causing some worry today. Airplanes left Royce flying field here at daylight today to Join the punitive expedition. No bombs were taken nn the first scout planes to leave the field here. It was announced at the aviation field that there la no Intention of abandoning the Presidio landing field for airplanes flying to Mexico, which .will be used as a sub-base for the aerial service. Planes will begin landing In Mexico today. The field In Mexico Is good, except for the pres ence of mesquite bushes and high weeds, which tear the propellers bad ly. Several propellers were shipped t Kelley field. Texas, today after hav ing parts of the blade worn off by contact with the weeds. OMtlltM Helping. Carranza federals, operating far to the aouth. and American cav alry further north, today are scouring the Conchoi river region of Mexico in an endeavor to clear that section of bandits who precipitated an expedi tion Into the southern republic by cap turing and holding for ransom two American army aviators. Five known dead sYindits was th net result of the expedition at the beginning of the fifth day of operations below the bor der. More rapid progress In the pur suit of the outlaws was expected to day, yesterday's chase having been large'iv delayed by dispatch of supplies and forage to the American soldiers. MaJ. (ien. Joseph T. Dickman. com mander of the southern department, left last night for San Antonio after completing an inspection of the border and familiarizing himself with the de tails of the punitive expedition. Be fore leaving, the general said an ef fort would be made to pay the bandits the $6,500 remaining of the ransom money for the aviators, tho he did not say Just how this would be done. Vmt Doha on 'Em? riumors of further bandit captures and bombing of. bandit strongholds wkflch found circulation at various times yesterday proved unfounded, but the possibility of using of bombs In wiping out the bandits developed with the arrival of aerial bombs for experi mental purposes and an announcement that these might be used Jf a bandit force should be found In any consider able numbers. No information came from the ex peditionary forces yesterday except word brought by aviators that the pur suit of the bandits still was being con ducted. Reports that the forces would he withdrawn at an early date had no foundation. General Dickman saying the expedition wolud remain in Mexico as long as they were following a j'hot trail." There was no explanation of the rescinding of the order for addi tional troops to support the punitive expedition. Longest IncWslon Slnoe 11B.

S. IS DISTURBED arrunza Apparently Deter- mined To Seize Oil Lands. Says He Has No Intention To Protect Outside Capital. CITIZENS URGE SETTLEMENT Educated Class and Press Rec ognize Danger of Invasion. Supreme Court Told "o Hurry' on Petroleum Cases. Washington, Aug. 23. Officials here are somewhat disturbed, it was learned today by an apparent deter mination on the part of Carranza and his official advisers in Mexico City to confiseate the oil property of for eigners, including Americans In spite of the protests lodged with the Mexican government by all the nations whose nationals have investments in Mexico. The public declarations by Mexicans close to Carranza have expressed; the president's stand on the matter which public opinion, official and unofficial alike, except for the Carranzistas, have declared to be vital. The opinion of all classes in Mexico, as reported In the Mexico City newspapers and trans mitted to the state department. Is for a prompt and correct settlement of the petroleum question which has been declared to be the key to relations be tween the United States and Mexico. Press Vrgcs Settlement. Newspapers and citizens, especially those of the educated class, aceord- i tng to reports to the state department, urge tHat, because of the recognized danger of Intervention, Mexico at least j protect foreign .investments, even if j she cannot step the murder of foreign t citizens. Don Carlos Dufoo. the eminent 1 economist, asserts that foreign capi tal is absolutely necessary to the de velopment or Mexico s resources be cause Mexicans have not the capital to put into the extensive enterprises and would not invest it if they had it. In the face of these demands now made public and declared to be im perative, Carranza's official circle has no intention, It is said, of protecting foreign capital In Mexico. This is borne out by the following official statement, recentlf made by Ing F. Vazquez Schiaffino, chief of the pe troleum bureau of the department of industry, commerce and labor: Official Statement. "The steps taken by the petroleum bureau have followed a program whose main points may be summar ized as follows "To engage in a work of propa ganda and diffusion of all data relat ing to the petroleum Industry so as to interest national capital and to In vite ,the attention of Mexican indus trials, professional men and workmen in order that they may play an active and important part in the develop ment of this industry making it. In a short time, an essentially and genu inely Mexican industry." This official statement, which. It Is believed here, was inspired by Car ranza. coupled with the advice of Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, urging the supreme court to be in no haste about considering the petroleum cases now before it, has aroused great Interest in official circles here. The petroleum cases now before the Mexi can supreme court are there on the advice of the American state depart ment, which asked the American oil companies to conform to all the re quirements of the Mexican law step bv step, from the lowest courts to the highest courts in the land.

Meeting Half of Allied Coal Levy Would Stop Production. Essen, Aug. 23. A commission of experts appointed by the German bu reau of labor to investigate economic conditions and working hours in the coal fields has completed its examina tion of the Rhenish district, having visited six mines and twelve working men's colonies, cross-examining: own ers, directors and workers. Peter Kloeckner. one of the leading Rhenish industrialists, informed the commission at the hearing held in this city that the nation was facing an economic catastrophe. He said that, even if the entente's levy of forty mil lion tons of coal was reduced one-half, Germany was heading toward ruin, as the country cannot dispense twenty million jtons annually. "If the entent powers enforce tnls provision." he said, "we must extin guish our blast furnaces; that is tanta mount to a cessation of all production. What little coal there would be left us would barely suffice to operate rail roads and lighting plants." Herr Kloeckner opposes a further reduction in workng hours and dis putes the assertion that a miner can produce as much coal in five and one half hours as in -seven. He believes the reduction in working time in all Industrial lines has proven disastrous to the nation's economic revival and, with the abolition of peace work, has greatly curtailed output in all branches of industry. In discussing living conditions among miners, Herr Kloeckner told the commission that a working man's home which cost 5,000 marks ($1,250) when built in peace time would now cost 25,000 marks ($6,250). Never theless, mine owners are building homes for their men but if they build all that are needed the cost will be three million marks ($750,000). He pointed out the mines cannot stand such a drain In view of present de mands upon the national exchequer. He, therefore, proposed that the gov ernment approve a price increase of ten marks per ton, the proceeds to be devoted to the building of working men s nomes.

HINES REPLY NOW Shopmen Leaders Expect Early Reply on "Wage Demands. National Vote Fayors Strike If Director Refuses To Accede. Washington, Aug. 23. Leaders of 600.000 organized railway shopmen today expected an early answer from Rail Director Hir.es on their demands for wage increases, according to Sec retary Conlon of the railway depart ment of the American Federation of Labor. Indications that Hines may already have an answer ready were seen in the fact that Hines yesterday con ferred with the pfesident for the sec ond time this week. Hines has re fused to say what the answer will be. Should Hines grant the wage in creases asked by the shopmen, freight rate increases m9y follow, officials of the railroad administration believe. Strike Vote Nearly Unanimous. Shopmen "are deterimned to force granting of the demands, according to early returns received here in the na tional strike vote now being taken. "About 98 per ce.it of the votes al ready counted are for standing pat on the original demands presented January 1 for an increase from 68 to S5 cents an hour," sand Conlon to day. "The demands also include a provision that the iyicrease be made retroactive from January 1. "Voting to enforce the original de mands means the men want a strike if Hines refuses to accede." Thirty days notice must be given before a strike begins, according to Conlon. Reject Wilson's Proposal. Conlon said the men are voting on two propositions. The first is that proposed by President Wilson, who suggested the whole matter be left to the decision of a board to be created by congress. "Less than 2 per cent of the votes already counted favor this," said Con lon. "The second question on the bal lot was whether the men wanted to stand pat on their original demands submitted January 1. Ninety-eight per cent of the votes already counted favor this. "All votes must be in headquarters here Monday morning. Within a few rrauTs the result of the total vote must be announced from here." KING "DOLLS UP" U'ontlnucd from Page One. caught m another misstatement of fact. When under examination by state counsel several days ago, King said the peddler's name was Gregg. He could not recall initials. Discovery of lime pits in and near Kings former Mvery barn in Maple Hill has arojsed a somewhat general suspicion that additional victims of King may have been destroyed in the shallow graves. Two lime pits have been found by investigators one un der a former buggy stall in the livery barn and a second pit near the rear entrance ana just outside the barn. Both pits were about the size of an ordinary grave. Both contained chalky substances. The pit under the buggy shed tapered as tho defining human limbs. Tkt positive identification of portions of human bodies was impos sible. In the minds of many Maple Hill citizens, tho. there is no doubt that the Investigators have unearthed final burial plots of other King vic tims. All properties formerly occupied or under control of King, will be care fully spaded in a search for more bones. Both of King's former homes in Maple Hill will also be searched for additional evidence. The Ringer deeds were found among papers in King's home in Maple Hill before he closed the house and moved to Colo rado. His furniture and personal ef fects remained in the house until a few weeks ago. Each month King sent rental money for the property. It was in a shed at the rear of this house that a sack of bones supposed to be the skeleton of Reuben Gutshall was found August 6. A Fine Thirst Quencher.

CRISIS IN SIBERIA Kolchak Will Fall or Become Supreme in 30 Days. Lack of Material Aid a Handi cap, Morris Reports. REDS MAKING LAST OFFENSIVE If They Fail, Soviet Will Col lapse, Experts Agree. F. S. Ambassador Urges Recog nition of Omsk Regime Soon. Washington, Aug. 23. Ambassador Morris, who was sent by the state department from Tokio to Omsk to report on conditions In Siberia, has advised the government here that the next thirty days will probably see a crisis in the affairs of the Kolchak government. Ambassador Morris, in his report, it was learned today, asserted that Ad miral Kolchak has had to devote so much attention to the military cam paign against the Bolshevikl that he has been unable to organize suffi ciently the civil government and ad ministration in Siberia to keep the people contented, but, nevertheless, Kolchak is the best man for the task confronting him, and that It is the question of his success or the tri umph of the Bolsheviki. Lack of Material a Handicap. Lack of material aid from the al lies has been a tremendous handicap for Kolchak, the report states, and this has led to friction between the military commanders of the Kolchak forces. Admiral Kolchak has called on his officers, whom he cannot re place because of lack of others com petent to lead the armies, to sink their differences for the eake of the coun try, and is endeavoring to make a de termined stand on a new line more than 100 miles west of Omsk. His forces are small, numbering not more than 200,000 men, the ambassador advised, and their equipment is not adequate. Military authorities In Paris and here, however, agree that the Bolshe vikl are making their last desperate effort against the Kolchak troops, and if they fail this time, the soviet gov ernment in Russia will collapse. Of ficers here say that the Bolshevikl have not enough men or munitions to handle the situation on more than one front at a time and this is the reason Denikine finds it a simple mat ter to advance in the south at this time when the Bolshevikl have con centrated their forces on the Omsk front. Ursjes Itecofrnltion Soon. Recognition of the Kolchak govern ment, if It succeeds in surviving the next thirty days, has been urged -by Ambassador Morris, it is understood. To make this recognition effective, it Is understood the ambassador has urged that this government be ready to assist in the negotiation of loans for the Siberian government and to dispatch additional arms and muni tions and later food and clothing. The ambassador also recommended that experts be sent to Siberia at the same time the food and clothing are dispatched to aid In the distribution and to lend assistance for the estab lishment and maintenance of civil gov ernment in the various sections of the country.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUP NAL SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1919 S HAD A JIG DAY Ripley Park Was a Very Popu lar Place Friday. Th Army Tanks Drew Thou sands of Spectators. HELLO GIRLS HID PICNIC Machinists Also Were There for an Outing. Ball Game Between Girl Teams Was a Feature. Friday was a bi day at Riplev park. What with the telephone girls' picnic, the picnic of the International Association of Machinists, Appren tices and Helper. Local 1270 and the exhibition of army ox-finance from the war department, there was something doing every minute. Thousands of persons crowded tha park in the evening. The feature was the exhibition and demonstration of ordnance equipment at 8 o'clock. A space of about an acre was cleared In the mass of humanity and here the tractors and tanks were put thru maneuvers that brought cries of ad miration from thousands of throats. To see one of the big. apnarently clumsy caterpillar trucks tear along at high speed, then suddenly turn about Tank That Tor Down aa abruptly as a man on his heel and start back in the opposite direction, was a treat to the crowd. Several machines were In the ring at a time and the skill of the drivers In hand ling them was a subject of much re mark. Bfg Tank Drew Crowd. The big tank the "Baby Doll" roused the most interest, however. It crossed a deep ditch Just east of the park, and a cable was attached to a huge fa 11c n tree. The tank started back, pulling the tree after it. Twice the cable snapped like twine. The third time the big cotton wood came out bv the roots and wss dragged up the steep bank to the top. Ringing cheeps greeted the achievement. The tank wns piloted by Secgt. Eddie Rack, who tck it thru the campaign In France. The machinists' picnic drew a large attendance, altbo It was late when the picnickers withdrew their attention from the war exhibits to the less ex citing pastimes of dancing and swim Ing. Snunders five-piece orchestra furnished music for the occasion and the apprentice quartet rendered a few selections. The ordnance train will give another demonstration at Ripley park at 3 o'clock this afternoon and nnout 6 o'clock will leave for .Joplln. Mo. Girls Ployed Rail Game Early Friday morning the train of fifteen cars carrying the war machin ery switched to the Santa Fe tracks and began to unload at Fourth street to take the big guns, tanks and trac tors to the park. In the afternoon the "hello" girls staged a hasehall game that made the park visitors forget there was an army in the world. Dressed in bloomers, they played a creditable game indeed. H. E. Grixzel. umpire, and A. O. Hick man, scorekeeper. had all they coul'd do to keep from being mobbed In their efforts to stick to baseball regulations and still favor some of the especially pretty players. Several times the de cisions and scores were altered to keep peace In the park. The girls, working in shift, managed to spend several hours each at the park.

PLAN BIG PROBE Women Meet in Governor's Of fice This Afternoon. They Will Investigate Clothing Prices Next Week. Topeka women appointed by Gover nor Allen to investigate living costs are in conference this afternoon in the governor's office In the state house. They will begin a probe of wholesale and retail prices of dry goods, clothing, shoes and millinery next week. Their investigation will be similar to work Jn the grocery and meat probe. Mrs. C. j. Evan presided at the meeting which was called to order shortly after 2:30 this afternoon. The women will relate personal experi ences regarding clothing prices which are declared in certain cases to be widely at variance. A claim that one department store has increased prices of all ribbons is also to be investigated. It is probable that the women will begin their investigation of clothing prices Monday. Today's meeting was called for the purpose of organizing for the work. Thrcshermon Frofitfers? Report received today by Clyde M. Reed, private secretary to the gover nor, state that in Lincoln county wheat threshing crews are charging farmers from $17 to $25 an hour for threshing grain. In some instances farmers are declared to have paid as high as 40 cents a bushel for thresh ing. Lincoln county officials have been directed to investigate the re ports and if law violations are shown to bring prosecutions. "The reports from J.Incoln county show the record prices for threshing crews." said Reed. "We have had complaints from Harper and a few other counties. But in none of the other counties have prices compared with those reported from Lincoln county." FIX UP SCENIC ROADI Topekn's Prettiest Irive Crippled by Stretch of Sand. There is an increasing number of Topeka citizens asking who is respon sible for the condition of the water works road? Recently the park at the water works has been fixed tip as a camp ing ground. The natural beauty of the drive to the grounds and the park itself, deep In the shade of many large trees close to the river, make a com bination that is hard to equal for nat ural attractiveness. During the spring a consistent ef fort was made to bring it more to the attention of Topeka citizens. Many knew of the beautiful park but there were hundreds who did not know about it and did not know the road to take to get to it. The movement took. Traffic In creased on the drive far beyond the capacity of the road to handle it. There is now one very narrow strip of road that runs thru deep sand. It is the short stretch that runs parallel to the river. It Is almost Impossible for two cars to pass on this stretch. In some places it is all right to turn out. In others the sand Is so deep at the sides of the road that if a car turned out it might require additional assistance other than its own motor to get It out of the sand again. There seems to be some question as to whom the road belongs. If the authori ties to whom the road belongs knew of this dangerous condition it seems rea sonable that they would make an ef fort to get the little stretch of bad road into safe, passable shape. WILL POWELL HOME He Served In the War in Tank and Transport Corps. Will Powell, 611 Jefferson street, has returned from overseas. Will and John Powell, brothers, enlisted In the tank corps a year ago in May. They were placed Ir separate battal ions, John Powell goinf? into the Ar- gonne wood in isovember. The bat talion to which Will Powell was at tiichetl remained near Langres, the A. K. F. tank center, and after the armistice was signed the battalion m which Will Powell served was trans ferred into the motor transportation service and he was given an oppor tunity to see France and Germany. A few days after the armistice was signed John Powell and two comrades were exploring the dug-oiils and trenches in the Argonne wood and either Powell or one of his comrades took hold of the business end of a hand grenade, thousands of which were left i n the trenches by the homeward bound Germans. The grenade exploded, badly shattering John Powell's hand. He returned home during the early spring but is still in the army, the government re fusing to release him until everything possible is done for the hand. The Powell boys' parents are farmers liv ing north of Topeka. JACO IS CADDY CHAMPION Good Scores Made by Boys Playing at Topeka Country Club. Alex.

Four police officers this morning captured Joe Dwiggins In the Tully- McFarland drug store at Ninth street and Kansas avenue. Search resulted In finding $15 worth of morphine on his person, stolen, it is claimed, from the store. A policeman noticed a light in the store and an investigation followed. It was found where Dwiggins in his farntic search for dope had torn a screen from the rear window and was foiled in his attempt to enter the store in that manner because of iron bars. So he piled one ice cream freezer on top of another and crawled in thru a skylight. Sergt. W. P. Long and Of ficers Blair, Engelbrecht and Murphy made the arrest.

Secretary Studdard of the Shawnee club turned in a 37 on his card for nine holes the other day. This is five below bogey and only one above par. Studdards score was attested by Frank Campbell, Fred Cooper and and and the lawyer whose name Is not mentioned upon the advice of his physician. This from Phil Eastman, who is plsrylng his second season of golf: "As I understand it, the second summer Is the most serious with golf and babies." The Country club caddies have adopted a great system of making money. It isn't quite Sunday school etlquet. to be sure, but it is a summer vacation sport Just the same. The caddies who are better acquainted with the players bet them on the round that they won't make a certain score. One caddy recently made 80 cents caddy ing and 31.25 betting his player. The longest clean cut drive on the Shawnee course this year, according to the fans, waa made recently by Pete Middleton. Pete Is a former cad dy and a coming golf state champion. He drove from the tes on "Long Tom" (No. 3) far beyond the tee box on No. 4 or a measured distance of 329 yards. It was nearly all carry, too. Middle ton Is still a youngster but has won derful distance and accuracy in his shots. With a little of the "old head" control of energy In matches he would set a rapid pace for any golfer in Kansas. Fred Cooper's famous hook finally has reached out and grabbed a horse shoe. On Shawnee not long ago "Coop" hooked 200 yards to the ce ment bridge near the well on No. 6. bounced hack Into the fairway and rolled well up toward the green. Illf Felix la In his glory. Felix nat urally drives a hard low ball one of those drives that takes a sudden up shoot as it disappears Into the horizon and then "carries another hundred yards. The windy days of the last few weeKs nave been fruit for Felix. Thejrc high flyer drivers have not been ahleTT' to stay in the fairway against his cen terfield home runs. Is Topeka golf mad these days or is it golf glad? Personal to Shawnee players: Last season several members quit the sea son with the club refreshment dealers holding the sack for quite a deficit due to unpaid bills. Don't allow the championship Is considering several offers to serve as professional to out of town clubs. "Boney" Is distinctly a Topeka pro duct. He learned golf caddying at tho Country club. He Is now a member of the Shawnee club and one of the best players in Kansas despite his three or four years of playing and his youth. There la a move on foot to keep Bonebrake In Topeka by attaching him to the Shawnee club as a profes sional. It would be a costly effort on Shawn'e'a part, owing to the elub'a short time in the Kansaa field as a golf organization but It would be a blow to Topeka golfers to aee "Boney" leave. Charlie Flanders started to refill the and pita on the Shawnee course the other day. The sand Instead of spread ing over the surface disappeared In whirlpools Into the huge cracks in the sun-baked ground and ha was forced to cease his operations upon orders of the club- treasury. The traps must wait for their sand bath until after a heavy rain fills the grand canyons. The younger generations who have taken up golf in Topeka have turned their eves to the Shawnee club for real sport. Here is the way one of the j ran-rans explains it: "The Country club, of course, has the wipe sweeping verandas, the dance floor, the music, the dinners .and the whirl of society but there is something else that appeals to us. The Country club course can be viewed from one hole to another from the club house. Every green, practically. Is within eye shot. Now on the Shawnee It Is dif ferent. Out on No. 1 there Is a beau- mm 81 L 0 Stawitx books to show a loss this year. golf. tiful tree and a green terrace. On No. 2 there are many trees and many nooks and valleys and draws. On No. S there are the willows and a cool well and and 'neverything. On No. 8 another shady and coxy resting place. So it goes. All of these places I mention are exclusive and far from the searching eyes of papa and mamma. You know how it is when you are strolling around the course with HER. There is something about It all that gives you a feeling of security and confidence. Boy, boy. The Shawnee for mine!" C. B. Maxriam. champion of Cape Cod. meanwhile of Topeka, Is back at the Country club. His return waa greeted with a huge sign on the bulle tin board announcing that he was home again with a blanket challenge to all comers. His championship hon ors, however, have created no little timidity on the part of the boys who used to depend upon Carroll for their ball supply. The Btate Journal's "Chick" Evans features running Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, have proven immense ly popular with the golfers In the city. Many out-of-town enthusiasts have written to this department asking golf questions and complimenting the State Journal on its interest in the great game. Frank -Griggs, local leading golfer. says: "The 'Chick' Evans series will prove most valuable to Topeka golf followers. The State Journal is to be congratulated on Its enterprise." Ed Tirrill, secretary of the Topeka Country club: "Topeka golfers will find many valuable hints and sugges tions in the 'Chick' Evans articles. It Is the best golf stunt In Topeka." Dr. C. B. Van Horn of the Country club and one of the organisers of the Shawnee club. Is a great golf enthusi ast, altho In the last two years he has playedonly twice once this week at Shawnee. Dr. Van Horn, thru his of fice, has added to the membership of Shawnee by prescribing golf as a tonic and a cure to many of his patients. "Nothing beats golf," the doctor says. "The game is a great lnvigorator and has butlt up hundreds of men from a frail condition to health and happi ness." Ed Tirrill of the Country elub left Thursday on his annual vaeation. But he will be back early this season the state-wide Invitation tournament be gins September 1. Arthur Bonebrake was held up be hind a foursome the other day. Two hundred yards down the fairway the players were punishing the sod and posing in post mortem disgust "Fore!" shouted "Boney." "Come ahead." answered one of the foresome. The former state champion wound up like a busy pup in the shade, there was a swish and a crack and the ball started on Its way. The foursome anx iously awaited the bounce of the ball thru them. "Ah." grunted one to his companions. "There Is the ball up there." On down the fairway the four pairs of eyes followed It. It had sailed over their heads and did not stop until It had gone probably 100 yards beyond the white stakes. After all the game Is played In the approach and on the green. Read again this account of the wonderful completion of the Ouimet-"Chlck" Evans match Wednesday: The gallery, one of the largest that ever witnessed a mid-week tournament match in this country, was absolutely silent notwithstanding the intense strain of the contest as tho pair teed up for the home hole play. Evans drove first and Oulmet followed, both reaching far down the fairway with long shots. Ouimet's second landed in a deep pit to the right of the green, while Evans was just on the edge of the rough some forty feet from the pin. When Oulmet stepped down into the pit he was out of sight of a largo, part of the spectators and a great shout of applause Involuntarily sprang from the gallery when he pitched the ball from a cloud of sand to within four feet of the flag. Evans's mashle shot was a trifle strong and the ball rolled fully twelve feet past the cup. he double title holder sighted the lay of the green for almost a minute before he putted, but the strain was too great for him to do himself full Justice and he fell short of the hole by three feet. Oulmet followed with a gentle touch of his ball, which rolled leisurely to the Up of the cup. paused for a fraction of a second and then dropped out of sight, thus terminat ing ono of the snoot remarkable matches in the history of American A FULL MID-IRON SHOT. Many players fail to get the best results from the mid-iron by falling to complete the stroks. It Is abso luely necessary to carry the stroke clear thru In order that the club-head do Its share, and In the full mid-iron shot the clubhead should lead. By putting the left elbow against the body you will obtain the best follow-thru. This Is what I call the "bent" follow- thru. The player who stands with clubs and arms ex tended in one straight line after he has played may be a more attrac ive looking figure on the golf links, but his results will not compare with those of the player who is willing to sacrifice artistic ef fect to get distance by employing the bent follow-thru. In playing this shot I swing into the imaginary line of direction and give the ball the quickest wrist snap possible. This should be done with relaxed wrists and rhythmically, with perfect timing. When this snap is properly oone u gives a throw to the clubhead that adds distance. To take a little chip of sod after you have hit the ball is the wav a master golfer plays the shot. To do so steadies the flight of the ball in a surprising way. Tou will observe many players who seem to be sort of stabbing the ball ith their mid-Irons. This is an wrong. The clubhead snouia go tnru the turf following the Imaginary di rection line, with the shot played witn the "bent" follow-thru. There is another point which I find Is a bit difficult to make clear with words, but stating It the best I can it is this: Tou must find a middle ground between tenseness and relax ness. If you play with either too much of one or the other your shot will not measure up to your possibili ties. I believe the finger grip is the best of all grips, and the only real tightness I experience in gripping my clubs for the shot Is tightness of the finger. In playing fhe full mid-iron I am always conscious of a good grip on my club. Here is another little trick in the mid-iron shot which it is very well to know: Do not bring the clubhead up too quickly on the back' stroke. Take pains to bring it back along the ground a little ways before going up. This little wrinkle is a decided help In getting distance and control. It is my opinion that iron shots should bo practiced zealously, keeping uppermost in the mind the impor tance of accuracy. I feel this way be cause iron, shots certainly offer the opportunity to some of the finest golf play. When you and your mid-iron understand each other well enough so that you are ambitious to play for the hole and not be content with making the green then you will see what I mean by a first class mid-iron shot and you wilP enthuse over Its possi bilities. Of course, it goes without saying that since the mid-iron is shorter than a driving Iron you should take the stance somewhat nearer the ball. Most players do not have sure enough control in a full mashie shot. Such players will get better results by using a half or three-quarter shot with a mid-iron and using the mashie only when within pitching distance of the green. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, QUESTIO"N-Whit is meant by keeping the eye on the ball! ANSWER There Is a tendency, partic ularly on the part of beginners, to raise the head before the bell is struck in order to watch It in flight. This Is fatal to good playing. Just where you should Veep your eye depends on the shot. For sn ordinary stroke you should keep your eye on the ground Just back of the ball. QUESTION In swinging my clubs ,1 frequently bit the small of my back. What Is the trouble with me?

Frank Griggs, Kansas champion. Is working out a new caddy system for the Topeka Country club. Under this system players will give their caddies grades on all scores turned In. There will be A grade, "a graae ana u grade caddies, and caddie fees will be paid according to grades. This, it is believed, will prove an Incentive to the caddies to do better work and will re ward the older caddies and enable them to make more money than the younger boys. The grading will be on ability to spot tho ball, attentive ness and other virtues the good cad dies are supposed to possess. Country crab players predict that any score under 92 will qualify players for the Invitation tournament which will be held the first week In Septem ber. All members of the Topeka Country club and the Shawnee club are expected to qualify Saturday and Sunday. Aug. 30 and 31. Many Shaw nee club players have signified their intention of qualifying. Thirty-two players will be qualified for the first flight. 32 for the second, 16 for the third and all the other players will be placed in the "also ran" flight. Robert Fullerton, father of the Shawnee golf club, who has been one of the chief boosters of tho proposition to procure a government airplane landing field for Topeka, says that the Cowles field which has received the approval of Colonel Morrow also would make an Ideal golf course. Many of the Shawnee club players are beginning to worry about the time when they will have to give up their present grounds to the Country club and it has been suggested by some of the directors that steps be taken at once to provide funds with which to lay out a new course when this time comes. Fullerton states that the en tire Cowles tract, If purchased, could be used both for a golf club and an aviation field, some of the golf holes being placed on the edge of the flying field. He suggests, however, that if a combination of this kind is worked out the golf course be made a munici pal affair and be placed at the dis posal of the entire city thru city co operation.

Mike O'Dowd. of St. Paul, world's middle weight champion, outfought Jack Brit- ton, world s welterweight champion in a no-decision eight-round bout at the First regiment armory here Friday night, having the better in five of the rounds. Britton had the honors in the other three. O'Dowd weighed 15S pounds, three under the weight agreed upon. Brit- ton's weigt was 146. It was O'Dowd's aggressiveness against Britton's science, but the lighter man's cleverness puzzled his opponent only during the first part of the contest, in which he took the first, second and fourth rounds. O'Dowd let loose in the fifth and never let down in sending hard rights and lefts which frequently forced Britton to give ground. MOII.VS RIGHT HOOK DID IT.

No Maxwell has ever, caught on so quickly as this one, and the public has in 5 years paid $200,000,000 for them. Everywhere the workderful developments in fine engi neering in this Post-War Maxwell have been talked about; and men who pride themselves on inside knowledge about a car have taken their hats off to it. So we say, if you are going to buy a car this year, take a look at Mot mHm frfO M.r. mil- "ess this Post-War Maxwell now. One look will tell you a volume, and one ride behind the wheel will make you reach for your check book. Prepared as they are with their magnificent equipment, the eight great plants of the Maxwell Motor Company will not turn out enough to fill the orders. Many will have to go with out and take less up-to-date cars. Remember, this Post-War Maxwell is basically like the 300,000 that have preceded it.

For the youngsters in the grade appears younger fabric or more distinguished when sur rounded by a collat that is fairly stiff or mannish. You can be as sure of that, aa you are that the women who are always assuring you that high collars are quite out of style, that. they probably never will return to vogue again, and that they are an impossibility from i the point of view of artistic dreas con- j struction. are endowed by nature with a neck that ia their chief physical as act or by a neck too short to carry off a collar or by Jowla or chin that, soeaklna- rather bluntly, make them appear balloon-faced when wearing a constraining collar. High and Low. Both Are Worn. But why not be tolerant? Why need w-e all subscribe to the same thirty-nine articles? :onconformlty ought not to be a crime in clothes. Just tmcause you choose to wear a high collar ls no reason why your neighbor should or why your neighbor should admit that high collars -are smarter than low collars. The fact is that never since the pres ent vogue for bare necks came in hait there been a time when an occasional high-collared frock was not produced by the beat dressmakers and when a woman who appears well in high col lars could not possess a few of this tvpe of frocks to advantage. How ever, if you look thru one of the new French fashion books of the sort that your dressmaker has strewn over the tables in her reception room, out of which you arc supposed to select the idea that you wish to have worked up in your new frock, you may look in vain for a hign-?ollarl frock. In one such magazine there ia a notable exception and this is an extremel: scant evening bodice that is negligi ble as to back, transparent as o under-arm section and consists almost entire:y of apangled front panel that tapers from the front belt up to the collar a high coller from which the entire gown seems to hang. Perhaps this is just another little French dress joke. It ls so aniusins is it not to have d dress that is quits Inadequate in back and on the sides, with a collar that covers the neck as securely as a skating mufflerr I'nusual, but Not Freakish. But there are women who always like one or two h'.gh-collared frocks of a normal sort in their wardrobea. Of the water. nd are often trimmed with leather. Slippers are attractive, and when worn with tango ribbon laces that are in striking contrast to the color of the stocking, worn they ari especially effective.

THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNE KITTKNHULHE Hip, hip. array Ynnrself no gay For rou're attain to hare full away. And be released from every atay Hip, hip, array New York, Aur. 2$. Fashion' cen sorship has been removed from hips! Once more tite fashionable glass or tna hour will reflect the hour-glass figure. Not exactly the full hour-glass of pit chemise frock days but at least a haft hour-glass. Curves both concave and convex where they should be accord ing to nature will once again be ac cording to-fashion also. To look aa nearly like a pencil as possible will no longer be the acme of feminine heart desire. We have been cut on the straight afd narrow so long that it is going to be some job to get- back Into our softly feminine mid-Victormn curves again but it ls always much easier to let out than to take in provided the material is there. x Now that arms are allowed at large untrammeled by restricting sleeves and short skirts have emancipated our un-der-trimmings it seems only fair and just that our long stayed hips should be given the freedom of the sees. As forerunners of th hips return the side ruffles, panniers, puffs and draperies on the new fall skirts are but a few of the infallible signs to show which way the new fall figure tends to curve. Increased fullness In the skirts as well makes for a fuller silhouette and increased brevity proves the long and short of it is that Paris ls winner in the little game of skirts, that has been waged all season between the Yankee and the Gallic modistes. Xaturally, hip curves mean also bust curves, and a regular indented waist again and the tight fitted bodice is fitting complement of the puffed and panniered skirt for the re-entrance of thie long outlawed outline. Such a radical change in figures means, of course, a radical change In corsets. Those weird high busted, short-hipped and wasp waisted affairs of a quarter of a century ago have, wa hope, gone the way of the rodo bird. Still, we must needs now pull in our laces a bit snugger about our equators and tho the corsets will still show Ions hips, the absence of bones will prive the necessary freedom. The low bust line will also hold its own for that pouter pigeon effect of the high busted corset is not down among the rules and regulations for the new fall figure. Really, the only striking changes in the corset models therefore will be a bit more curve in t the waist and a scarcity of bone that bind about the hip. The curving new panniered period frocks with their bouyant side puffs and snug little bodices are really much more becoming to the average plump female flur than the long straight line effects whose devoted slaves we have been for so many seasons past. The straight chemise frock was really artistically successful only on those svelte young creatures of fiat chested, boyish lines, and how rare indeed ia such a one among our bonbon ice cren m soda devouring, luxury loving limousine lassies of 1919. Karejreil, ye outgoing straight lines; welcome, ye incoming curves! The double-chinned, amply hipped sister hood greet you and now once more that poetic little phrase "get on to her curves will have sme meaning, CHANGES HER NAME BY ROYAL LICENSE "There's a better feel in' settin' in."

Anxiety over the fate of Lieuts. Frederick Waterhouse and Cecil H. Connelly, army aviators from Rockwell field. North Island, increased today after another day and night of fruitless search. All day yesterday other air planes, manned by brother officers, flew between here and the Imperial county line seeking trace of the De Kavlland plane In which the young flyers left Yuma Wednesday noon. Reports from Calexico said that members of the Eleventh cavalry had seen a plane cross the border and" head south about 3:30 on Wednesday. An other theory is that the machine may have been forced to land on the moss covered scopes of the Jacumba moun tains with consequent injury to the flyers and wrecking of the machine. The country around Jocumba. fifty miles from here, is rushed and with but very few habitations. The search by airplanes continued today.

IVhOOSE GET NO FOOD Car Ordered by Topeka Lodge Has Not Been Received. No word has been received con cerning the carload of surplus army food ordered by the Moose lodge for distribution in Topeka, according to C.' H. Mathews, secretary. It was stated that a man was sent to St. Louis to make investigations of the possibility of purchasing larger sup plies and that word is expected from j him any time. H. T. Birmingham, a grocer on East Fifth street, has received a wire from I the war department advising him that civic or fraternal societies, or indivld j uals, may handle the food for the city if supplied with proper credentials, j Birmingham made an offer to Mayor H. J. Corwine to handle the surplus army food in Topeka without cost, thus saving the parcel post rates, but this offer was timed down by the mayor two weeks ago. Postmaster V. O. Rigby stated to day that in his opinion the Moose club would be unsuccessful in getitng even one car of food, as the allotment is practically exhausted. Arrangements for freight shipments should have been made long ago. he pointed out I In this respect, however, it seems that i the city commissioners would find themselves "holding the sack,' altho tno government plainly states that unsold food may be returned.

Postcards Pretentious. The literature, of course, is printed in French. It is very similar to that which has been distributed in the United States. The postcards are much moro pretentious than any that have been distributed in this country. The drawings are finished in colors. Bach picture tells its own story so well that it is almost always unneces sary to attempt to read the caption at the bottom in French script. The drawings all appeal more to children than to older ersons as most of them are pictures of children in their vari ous, every-day activities. The idea is probably to proceed with the educa tion of the younger persons as they grow up. The rising generation in France will have a knowledge of the various phases of tuberculosis that was almost entirely lacking in tne older generation. Cards Characteristically French. The postcard drawings are charac teristically French. There are the Pier rot series, showing Pierrot sick, then a series of his efforts to regain health. He takes exercise, be sleeps by an open window, he takes a bath each day, he turns his back on an open bar all lined out w'th vin-rouge and cognac, he eats sensibly, good wholesome food, he Cleans up his premises, and meeting a man on the street who sneezes at him he pulls up an umbrella between himself and the offending spray. These are drawn after the fashion so characteristic of the French comic magazines. More Guests for Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Aug. 23.

M OHILDftBM UNHS IS ftMS at mpiioiD sai.oa M m M No, Gertrude, that man doesn't sleep in his clothes he merely hasn't had time to have his coat pressed since he discarded it last spring on account of the hot weather. Gee, gosh! as little Benny would say how can you sx pect a man to be ready for winter in the middle of August? There are two kinds of mm those who discard their coats, roll up their sleeves and make themselves com fortable when hot weather is ushered in, and those who don't seem to mind a little thing like 100 degrees Fahr enheit and wear a coat all summer. An investigation will show the latter class in the minority, but they keep their coats pressed. The first class discards the top half of the suit with the intention of hauling it out and having it pressed when cool weather comes again. Had To Dig 'Km Cp. So when the unusual phenomena of chilly mornings overtook Topekans early in August, class 2 mada a dash for the clothes closet and with chat tering teeth seized upon the friendly coat. They wore it to work and there was no time for any pressing to be done. By 8 o'clock, or a little later, in the morning. Old Sol got busy and hiked the thermometer some twenty or thirty degrees, and away went the coat again. "Won't need It any more for a while," is the comment, and the pro prietor of the pressing establishment re-baits his ho 3k and sallies forth to a friendly stream Next morning the same thing is repeated and it will probably continue until King Frost makes it necessary to wear a coat at least all the morning. The prevalence in numbers of class 2 over class 1 explains why the whole town looks mussy early In the morn ing. The fartner the sun gets from the earth, the closer the coat will get to the pressing iron and when the limit is reached Topeka will step out all spick and span. UNCLE SAM, NOT ANARCHISM John F. Lady Writes on Conditions of Today. Editor State Journal The United States has recently partici pated in a great war for the express pur pose of ridding- the world of kaiserlsm. This has been Accomplished, preventing It not merely from reaching America, but ending it for nil time where it was in Europe. Now we have to contend with the "red menace' due to the influx of the in sidious bolshevik element, a new brand of outlaws, together with the treacherous I. YV. W.'s and allied organizations of out laws who, by intrigue, plotting, dynamit ing, and bomb throwing are trying to overthrow our government and bring about disorder and chaos, presents a condition of anarchy requiring prompt and aggres sive action by the nfitlonnl administration, and by all state administrations as well, in order to thwart its progress and bring; it to a speedy termination. It has been quoted that the Bolshevikl claim their "banner is the banner of nil oppressed, of all downtrodden, of ail those that struggle for equality and universal peace." If this be true, then it goes with out saying that their acts of violence and deeds of treaebpry afe so remote and di vorced from their alms and purposes that it can clearly be seen there can ba no salvation for the downtrodden, the op pressed, and the destitute in any regime of Bolshevism. And instead of these radi cals striving for universal peace, or even showing a disposition of being peaceable themselves, by agitation cause unrest-and a reign of terror. Their banner, then, like the red flag of all other anarchists, in stead of it being a banner that stands for equality or Justice, stands for Injustice Instead of it being a banner that stands for constructive government, standi for the destruction of all government, law and order. There has never so much as a mnt been made of a form of government tbat is bet ter, not near so good, not even to be com pared with the present system of govern ment of the United States of America. We have a government that la a government for the people, of the people, and by the people a representative government where laws are enacted at the consent of the governed. America, under onr great democratic government, stands for suc cess. Opportunities for position in life, for achievement, for advancement come to all, and by honest, persistent endeavor it Is possible for anyone to succeed. It is even possible to rise from poverty and mis ery to fame and honor and to acquire a fortune. Striking examples of a few of the men who have made a marked suc cess in life are Abraham Lincoln and Jamps A. Garfield. Having been born of bumble parentage, in extreme poverty, and under most unfavorable circumstances, they rose to fame and honor. There may be certain conditions existing that are not right, hut wrongs may be righted by proper legislation, and this ran properly be done only by having statesmen in the legislative department of our fed eral and several state governments. We need no new panacea, especlallv that kind originating from anarchists, to apply to old aliments. JOHN F. LADY. Topeka, Kansas. Varnishes J. K. Jonea Faint Co. Adv. At the Orpbcum. The famous actress, Elsie Fergu son, will appear at the Orpheum, Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week In her latest release, "Eyes of the Soul. The story deals with a little cabaret dancer who is loved by an elderly man, a judge and a member of one of the south's finest families. He is first at tracted to her by her beauty and grace, and after making her acquaint ance, he realizes that not only is she possessed of a curious code of her own by which she lives, but she has many excellent qualities. Miss Ferguson portrays the stellar part, wearing a costume resembling that of a pigeon, in a bird and dance walk, accompanied by twenty girls chosen from Broadway shows for their grace and beauty. When the carrier pigeon makes her way slowly down the steps from the cabaret stage, in time with the music, the judge ties a note on her wrist. The pigeon takes the note back to the dressing room and after reading it. well things begin to look different in her life and it would not be fair to tell the story. The picture is based upon George LURE OF "WHITE TOPS" CZ07SGE fiATZZ. SaSTKaTE mHsSBmnw. n Sn T I jj Mr. and Mrs. Hartzell Snapped at a Busy Moment. In a prize question contest. "What would you do if you had a million dollars?" a contestant recently won the trophy by answering that he would have a pair of suspenders for every pair of trousers he owned. Were you to put this some question to George Hartzell, famous clown with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum 4 Bailey Combined shows, he would merely point to his present calling. For, tho reported to be a "million aire." George still remains true to the white-tops. Whether Hartzell Is really worth a million dollars may be a matter of some dispute. But he is undoubtedly; a very rich man. Mrs. Hartzell is the i wardrobe mistress, in charge of all the j thousands of costumes which dress the j circus in silks and spangles. Husband I and wife have worked shoulder to shoulder for more than a dozen years. They have earned good salaries, raved I their money and Invested It wisely. Today they own property in Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia and have an income quite sufficient to keep them la comfort for the rest of their lives.

The Williams Trio In "A Small Town Circus"; Hans Hank, the genius on the piano; Ward and Dooley in a high-class comedy skit entitled, "Our Ideas"; York and Marks in their own original sketch entitled, "That Ain't My Fault" featuring singing, dancing and comedy. This excellent bill will close with LaFrance Brothers In their garden of Equillbristic Novelty. The last half of the week will bring five big vaudeville surprises and tho second episode of "Elmo, the Mighty, featuring Elmo Lincoln and Gra.ce Gunard. CLAIMS RICHEST CLOWN ITS mifOMVJZE CLOHW life of idleness, they will tell you that they tried it once for just one year the longest twelve months they ever spent. "There's a lure about the sawdust, the blare of the band and the hoop-la of the rings that was too strong to resist," says Hartzell. "We had to get back to it all and we are never hap pier than when the 'call' comes In the springtime and we know that we are to take to the road for another sea son." And when the Hartxells "take to the road" It Is not to be supposed that their business interests are neglected. Mrs. Hartzell Is an expert typist and it Is not unusual for those who fre quent the "back of the scenes" por tion of the circus to see her taking a dictation from her husband. In addition to her duties as ward robe mistress. Mrs. Hartzell Is official chaperon with the cirens and to her falls the duty of looking after the social welfare of the hundrds of girls who take part in this season's gigantic Introductory pageant It is this pleas ant office that has won her the title of "the little mother of the circus."

A dull day at the court house al ways Induces conversation. With Pro bate Judge Ralph H. Gaw attending an insanity hearing at the state hospital this morning conversation reigned supreme for two hours. Rule King, profiteering, the weather, the League of Nations, the mortgaged automobiles, the late babies and the late brides were all given their share In the small talk. Finally dispositions of various people were placed on the fire. "I have a fine disposition," volun teered a young girl clerk. "Just to prove it I'll tell you something. I spent hours polishing a pair of white slippers. I did a fine Job and was mighty proud of them when I started out last night. "I stepped onto a street car and a man was Just behind me. He stepped all over one of my white slippers. Guess, what I did? I smiled at him." She had carried her point. Any woman who will smile at the person who ruins her white shoes when she's starting out for the evening la kin to the Lord. Then she supplemented the statement: My, but he was the nicest looking young fellow I have seen for ages." The fellow who writes the Grape Nuts advertisement, "There's a Rea son." certainly struck the nail on the head. mm Thv Circafl luiUc XiiviiI Training Station Imml which will give two concerts In Topeka (luring the slay of tlie navy Hpcelal train here on August 30. tol grounds by Great Lakes band and orchestra. 9:00 p. m.

George Richmond, former fea ture editor of the Buffalo Commercial, CARS ARE TOO THICK City Musi Now Contend With the "Parking Hogs. A fight on the "parking hogs" on Kansas avenue is a problem facing the city commissioners, according to Police Judge Hugh MacFarland. With auto mobiles rivalling guinea pigs increas ing in numbers, the question of finding parking space on Kansas avenue is becoming serious. Judge MacFarland stated today. "It seems to me that the plan fol lowed in Kansas City would be a good one to pattern after in Topeka, said Judge MacFarland today. "There no auto can be parked on the principal streets for more than an hour. "That leaves the shopper and the man driving in front of an office building sufficient time to attend to errands. But It doesn't give the busi ness man who drives downtown in the morning, parks his car in front of the office and leaves it there until 5 o'clock in the afternoon an opportu nity to consume more than his share of space provided by the public for everyone. "Already Topeka has a man who rents parking space. That's where the automobiles should be parked that are to remain downtown all day. I do it as much as anyone but the principle of the habit doesn't look square to me." CONCERT AT CITY PARK Jackson's Band Will Play Sunday Afuernoon at 4 O'clock.

'There's a Reason. m mmm AT GROCERS- BHl!Hii 2 WEEKS TO FAIR Officials Are Getting Finishing Touches on Grounds Now. Record Crowds and Record Ex position Seem Assured. How To Be Healthy Practical Talks on Disease Prevention Prepared by the NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION t FEAR RAINS AND RAIL STRIKE These Are Only Things That Can Make Trouble. Greatest Kansas Gathering of Automobiles Is Expected. With only two weeks remaining: un til the gates of the big Kansas Free Fair are thrown open, officials and employes of the fair association are working: overtime getting: ready for the record crowds that are assured if weather and road conditions are good. The greatest automobile crowd that ever gathered in Kansas is looked for by Phil Eastman, secretary, and he predicts that there wilt be cars here from every county in the state cars of all' makes, sizes and vintages. In fact, taking care of the thousands of automobiles that will be driven to the grounds is one of the biggest prob lems the fair officials will have to con tend with, they believe, and every available foot o." space is being thrown into the parking pavilio Set Show Record. "There is absolutely no doubt that this year's fair will be the greatest, largest and most complete fair ever held in Kansas." Eastman said today. "We have never had anything like the number of exhibitors coming this year and some of the finest livestock herds in the entire country will be here with animals that are valued at small for tunes. Already we are assured of cat tle from Mississippi, Iowa, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma. Texas, Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois, and we are ex pecting many more exhibitors to come in at the last minutes." Eastman says that practically everything worth while shown at the Nebraska state fair, the Minnesota state fair, the Missouri fair, the Illinois-Indiana fair will be brought to Topeka by the exhibitors. Already entries have been coming in from the Missouri fair and many will come di rect to Topeka from Lincoln, Neb., and St. Paul, Minn. Great Machinery Display. The farm machinery exhibits are threatening to take up all the space in the fair gronds, Eastman says, and if something unforeseen does not come up he feels assured every con ceivable Kind of farming implement will be on display. Also, there will be a wide range of other machinery, including home conveniences, factory appliances, and motor conveniences of all kinds. About the only things the fair of ficials are worrying about are the weather and a possible railroad strike. Should the railroad employes go out it would probably put a big crimp in the fair, as exhibitors would probably not be able to get their stuff here. However, both Eastman and President Penwell are confident the railroad wage controversy will be setted satis factorily and without trouble. LET BIG MEAT HOARD ROT Owners Hold 107.000 Pounds To Keep Up the Prices. Washington, Aug. 23. From Phila delphia there has come out the as tounding story that in the last three months over 107,000 pounds of meat, fish and poultry have been permitted to rot in Philadelphia storage houses because the owners were keeping up the prices. The entire amount of meat, fish and poultry thus allowed to decay was sold at a trifling figure for fertilizer. Nothing In the way of punishment to the offenders has been meted out under federal law. tho the existing law is ample to meet It. WILfSELL SEIZED SUGAR Carload Was "Hidden" While Sold and Resold, Charge. Chicago. Aug. 23. District Attorney Clyne announced today he will sell at the government's price 11 cents re tail a carload of sugar he seized yes terday, which he alleged had been "hidden a month while being sold and resold by speculators. Speculation will be charged against the owners. Clyne said. Their names were kept secret. EDERT IS INAUGURATED. After "Flu" Precautions. After influenza what? It is a ques tion everyone should ask themselves daily for the next few months. Warm weather has wiped out the danger of active cases of the "flu," but It has not entirely removed the danger of the after effects. Influenza itself greatly reduces one's physical vitality. Cases frequently were followed by other sickness, espe cially pneumonia, which still further reduced the victim s resistance to dis ease. This lowered resistance opens the way for active tuberculosis, which is a disease of the weakened. Most people are infected with germs of tuberculosis in childhood. Provided one's general health remains good, such Infection may never develop Into active disease. In fact, the person ap pears to be entirely well, but when bodily vitality is lowered by a sickness such as Influenza or pneumonia, these tuberculosis germs, lying in wait, may launch a sudden attack even months after and make rapid headway. Those who had Influenza during the winter epidemic should take out "health Insurance" by having a doctor make a thoro examination to see if any signs of tuberculosis are present. Tou cannot tell without an expert ex amination. If you find yourself free from any trace of tuberculosis, keep so by suffi cient rest and careful living. If. however, your "cold" has hung on despite the coming of warm weath er,' or If other Indications of tubercu losis are found, begin medical treat ment without a moment's delay. Those who have had the "flu" should not assume, however, that they are going to get tuberculosis nor should those who do develop the dis ease assume that they cannot be cured. Tuberculosis, as modern sci ence has proved, is preventable, and it is curable, provided treatment Is begun early. MAC LEAN GIVEN JOB He Succeeds Charles as Superintendent Boys' Industrial School. Capt. W. P. MacLean. director of physical training In the Topeka schools, has been named as superin tendent of the State Industrial school for boys north of Topeka. He was appointed by the state board of ad ministration to succeed H. W. Charles, resigned. The new school head served In France with the 130th field artillery and was battalion commander in ac tion. Recently Captain MacLean an nounced his candidacy for sheriff. His new appointment may change his plans. The position as superintendent of the state school for boys pays a salary of $1,800 a year and provides living quarters for the superintendent and his family. REPORTED FOUND BY MISTAKE.

Water house, and Lieut. C. H. Connelly, miss ing aviators, had been found by a Mexican cavalry patrol. Colonel Hanlon later declared no word had been received at Rockwell field concerning either pilot. Takes Oath as Imperial President of German Republic. Weimar, Thursday, Aug. 21. Fried rich Ebert took the oath as imoerial president at thf? National theater today. A large crowd had gathered In the square before the theater, where a guard of honor was drawn up with the Lanjaeger band playing. Herr Ebert was received at the main entrance of the theater by the vice president and secretaries, who con ducted him to where Konstantin Feh renbach, president of the national as sembly, was awaiting him. The organ played as Herr Fehrenbach led the president to the center of the flower bedecked hall, where the president's tribune is situated. The members of the Imperial council and assembly arose to welcome Herr Ebert, but the places reserved for the German Na tional and Independent Socialists were empty. WANT COMFORT STATION Citizens of St. Johns Seek Plans From Topeka. Altho the citizens may not feel par ticularly proud of. or enthused over the comfort station at Eighth and Kansas avenue, It is evidently regard ed by others as something of an asset to the city. Commissioner McGiffert has re ceived a letter from Robert Garvin, of St. John, Kan., representative of the 77th district, to the effect that the comfort station is "one of the most convenient benefits offered by the city to strangers." Garvin goes on to say tnat his city is contemplating the construction of a similar comfort station in one of their parks and asks that blue prints show ing the construction of the station be sent to him.

Profit-Sharing Not Profiteering We have been in business nearly twelve years.

We have rendered service to the public, and the measure of service is the measure of success. We are building for the. future now as heretofore. Temptation has beset us. Most everything in the store has increased in value we could get more than we do but have determined to ask but our usual small profit. Forethought prompted us to buy all Fall goods earlier than customary and in greater quantities. The store is now brimful of new things an immense and varied selection. Suits, Coats, Frocks, Skirts, Blouses and Petticoats materials from in expensive to costly-styled in fascinating manner and endless in diversity. We pledge ourselves to sell as we bought not to profiteer. But present assortments, large as they are cannot last forever.

When she came out of the store there waa such a crowd around the car that she was ashamed to start It and her hus- 1 band had to call the chauffeur. 'I believe I will sell advertising space inside that hood," Mitchell says J but here Is where newspaper pub- licity must stop. He calls It "Mitchell's X-Ray." It is a motor car, made by the Cadil lac company, decorated by a Mitchell sign, exposed by plate glass and dally witnessed by hundreds of Topekans. The hood of the machine Is all plate glass. "Why the glass hood?" Charlie jvutcneil, owner 01 me car was asKeu the other day. "Because, he answered, I have to look down at the engine to see if it is running. Otherwise I would never know it Is such a quiet scamp, you know." Mitchell Is a great Cadillac booster. Not long ago he picked up an old 1912 model for use in delivering office sup nlies for his firm. Crane Company.

"He seems to us pretty badly damaged accident. I suppose; was It on board ship or In one of the factories ashore?" '.Neither, sir." replied the surgeon, 'he was done up In a street fight not a block away from the Consulate. The police rescued him Just In tlms; If those brutes had had a few more whacks st him, he would have gone to the cemetery district, without having to stop at the hospital on the way." "What was he. a thief? I know they bc.-.t them unmercifully sometimes) when they catch them In the act. All Asiatics are a little Inclined to fsvor lynch law. you know, and the English Consul told me last night that in their own system they believe in punishing crime on the spot where it was committed. o tney ill chain up a burglar to the door- nit of the house which he attempted to rob nnd even hang up the head of a decapitated murderer over the entrance to his victim's home a rather grue some method of making the punish ment effective, eh?" No, this patient wasn't a thief or a criminal of any kind, from our point of view. He wasn't even lntomlcated. Tea v.111 be very much surprised to know that the only offense of which he was rrullty nnd It Is a most heinous one In Chinese eyes was of offering to his grandfather a cup of lukewarm tea!" "What! Tou don't mean to tell me that for thia trifle they fell on the poor fellow nnd put him Into this con dition; I can hardly believe It." It remi almost Incredible, doesn't It? nut It Is an nctual fact. His father pitched into him first, screaming. Tou'vc disgraced me, you unfillal wretch!' Then his uncle and his two brothers-ln-lnw Joined In and threw him out Into the street. A gang of wharf -coolies passing by arrived Just in time to vindicate the native code of honor by (riving him a few extra blows with their bamboos, and then a foreigner driving by in his trap summoned the police nnd they I rought him here." "But please explain to me a little more. Wherein does the awful offense consist? Now I confess I don't like lukewarm tea or coffee myself, but I don't as a rule knock the waiter down and beat him half to death if the bev erage isn't my exact temperature, do IT" "Hardly, but you see we're living in another world here and our points of lass are so radically different that what may be a very innocent thing In the West becomes a very serious thing In the East and vice versa." Just at this point the surgeon's house boy appeared with the chit-book and a visitor's card and Interrupted the con versation: "Mas-si-ter, have rot one pleceo Chinee man your house aide wantchee speakee you." "All right, ask the gentleman to" take a seat in the parlor and tell him I will be over In a minute"; then, turning to the Consul and showing hlnv the card, he added: "Here's Just the man to tell you nil about It. Our friend Mr. Wane Koo from Hons Kons is here In tha ittlement for a few dnys on business nnd I asked him to drop In for a cup I of tea. Tou remembeV him, don't you? He's that wonderful man that solves all i ha Chinese mysteries for tne ponce .when they get beyond their depth." "Why, certainly, he's the Identical one that exposed that bogus miracle at tha White Btag Temple last winter when the naval officers were there?" "Come over and Join us at the houee nnd we'll put this question of the hot nd cold tea up to him. while we're Ipplng a little of It ourselves." Mrs. Evanstone received the little party at the surgeon's residence and after tha usunl greetings and compli ments of the day, she took her plnce at the handsome samovar which some of the doctor's Russian patients had pre sented him, and presided as the moat graceful of hoateses over the tea-table. "Let me see," she said, turning to tha native guest, "do you take yours with milk and sugar or with lemon? Or possibly your prefer It quite plain In real Chinese style?" "No," replied Wang Foo with the moat elegant of bows, "In all these matters I prlda myself on being strictly cosmopolitan. According to your own proverb, when I'm in Rome, I do aa the Romans do, so whea I am in an Amer ican lady's home, I take my tea as the Americans do, I. e with milk and sugar and not even with a Russian lemon." "Moat complimentary and diplomatic! Now" holding up the sugar-tonga in tha air, "shall It be one lump or two?" "Well, modesty would dictate 'one', but a strict regard for truth impels me to say- 'two'." Mr. Bowser Refuses to Accept Great Wealth By M QUAD W HEri Mr. Bowser came up to dinner the other night there was no Mrs. Bowser to greet him. lie soon learned that she had gone shopping and might not come home for half an hour yet. Mr. Bowser walked around, in an unsatisfied way, until she appeared, and he was about to call her to account, when her attitude made him wonder- He had not seen her look so bright and animated for s year, and her step was almost that ot a girl. He was about to ask for an explanation, but his dignity forbade It -I have some great news to tell you aftar dinner. I have been talking busi ness all tha last half hour, and t think you can safely count on becoming a millionaire at the end of a year." Through the dinner hour Mrs. Bowser continued bright and chatty. Surely something good must have happened but she would not tell of iwu u iiiui iw, men, oiiu oho uciie extra, one on the saucer In cue you find It Isn't quite sweet enough for your taste." "Ry the way. Mr. Wang." began the surgeon, "we have an Interesting case In the hospital Just now which the Consul and I think you can throw a little light upon. It Is nothing less than a patient who was actually beaten Into a condition of Insensibility by his family and bis neighbors because he Is said to have offered hls grandfather a cup of lukewarm tea instead of one that was boiling hot. At least, that Is the testimony that Is given to me by the police and by the hospital staff. Now I know how particular the Chinese are about all their table etiquette and I appreciate their preference for the scalding hot beverage, but thia Is the first time I have aver known It to go so far as to cause actual physical in Jury. Don't you suppose that there is something else behind it ail? Don't you suppose they have some other reason for attacking and beating this man and that the story of the offering of the lukewarm tea to the grandfather Is only a blind? Tou are a person of very wide experience in these matters. Now Just give ua your Judgment In the case. Aa a matter of fact, have you ever personally known anything as bad aa this to happen?" "Oh, yes, the cases occur all the time, but they do not. as a rule, end quite so seriously. The Chinese are great ad mires of and practisers of the doc trine of 'Blessed are the Peacemakers' and they usually separate the contest ants In a quarrel before they come to actual blows." "But Just what constitutes the aerl ousness of the offense in the matter of the hot and cold tea, Mr. Wang?" asked Dr. Cortelyou. "I know how care ful the Chinese are about civilities and courtesies, but why should a mere breach of etiquette or a matter of cars lessness In so small a thing as a table beverage be regarded almost aa a crime "If Mrs. Evanstona will permit ua to light our cheroots," addressing his hostess, who waved her fan in assent. "I think I can make that clear to you." 'TJh. I don't mind the odor of tobacco at all In fact, I rather enjoy it." she replied. "Please go right on and if there la no objection, I should Ilka to stay and listen, too, for I've become quite Interested In tha ease of this poor man myself." "WelJ." began the Man of Mystery, "my people are Asiatics and you know that all over this great continent the laws of hospitality are much stricter In every way than they are in the Western world and to violate or disregard them constitutes a most serious offense. Tou have heard of the Arab and his tent and how his deadliest enemy is per fectly secure If onea ha can get Inside and break bread and aalt well, very much the same Idea pervades all tha Far-Eastern world. 'If the Rites and Ceremonies are observed' aa the Chi nese quote 'than all is harmonious: if they are disregarded, then all Is dis cord.' Eternal friendship or eternal hatred may hang upon the condition of tha food and drink of which the host and tha guest partake. The uni versal token of hospitality In China is the bowl of fresh made tea. It is every where placed before the guest, be he prince or beggar and be the place a palae or a hovel. To omit It. or to serve It in any other condition than boiling hot, la more than a breach of politeness; It la an Insult which gives the deepest offense. What la a serious matter between friend and friend be comes Infinitely more so when it is a case of an Inferior to a superior, as of a pupil to a teacher, but It reachea the extreme in the case of a child to a grandparent. From what I have learned of thia man In the hospital, they would probably say of him, 'Kwal tlan ahang, kwal tl hla, kwal yln kwel." 1. a, 'He haa Insulted Heaven above and earth below and the spirits In tha realm of shades'. "Good gracious! What an arraign ment exclaimed the Consul. "Why, how could he possibly have been guilty of all this? Row, by any human pos sibility could a cup of cold tea be an Insult to heaven and earth and every thing under the earth?" "It la Just this way." continued the Chlneae scholar: "Tea la one of the best gifts of heaven to man. There is Just one proper way of preparing and serving 'It and every Chlneae child is trained In It from Infancy. To offer to any visitor a bowl of heaven's gift prepared In any but heaven's own way. Is simply a reflection on the gods above Then, again, to violate the laws of hos pitality by offering cool tea to a guest Is to cast serious reflection upon the gods of the porches end the doorways, under whose protection he has crossed the threshold so, you see, tho gods below ara affected as well as those above."

Mr. Bowser continued to be gruff and unforgiving, but it was a relief to him when they finished dinner and reached the sitting -room. He was all ready to hear the news, and Mrs. Bowser was ready to tell It. She said: "Mr. Bowser, on two occasions you wanted to buy a chicken farm. Tou came home to tell me you could make ten thousand a year. I figured with you, and found you would lose about five thousand a yerr, Instead ot mak ing anything at all. I have how changed my mind ubout it." "If you can see it, no one else can! There Isn't one darned cent In the chicken business! since we have had our talk about it I have talked with a dozen chicken men, and there hasn't been one of them that has been making any money." "But, you see. they are not handling tha business right," explained Mrs. shades, how about them?" "That is the culmination of It all. That Is the crowning Insult to his an cestors and to Confucius and the Blessed Pages who taught us the doc trine of filial piety, for the guest In question was the man's own grand father his oldest living ancestor and the very last person on this earth to whom he should have dared to offer a bowl of lukewarm tea. Now, taking all these things together, I think you can readily understand how the com bination was enough to excite the fam ily and friends to cast the offender out of doors, and the cries of 'Poo Hlao! Poo Hlao!' 'TJnnltal! Unllllal!' will al ways turn tha passers-by against the victim and thay will be glad and ready to add their little quota to his punish ment without inquiring into the merlta of the case." "And what chance la there of get ting the family punished for half-killing this poor wretch?" a "Very little, I fear, from a Chinese standpoint, for, however strong the for eign Assessor In the Mixed Court might be for a penalty, the native Magistrate would regard It aa a case of culpable carelessness or of brutal disrespect to an ancestor and In either case he de served what he got." "Well, Mr. Wang, said the Consul, as ha rose and extended his hand, we are certainly indebted to you again, as we so often are, for helping us to get at tha real reason that underlies so many of these doings. I can think of only one case that I aver personally witnessed that reminds ma of this, and that was on the atage in a theatre in London. A poor sailor was eating hla dinner in a restaurant and when he started to go out there was an alterca tion with the proprietor about the pay ment of the check, and from wo-ds they came to blows, and then the win ters and the whole establishment fell on him and beat him black and blue and threw him out onto the sidewalk. and when a kind passer-by picked him up and inquired as to the cause, the poor man answered In broken words. 'I-I-a-a was-a-three-farthings-shortl '77ie Abbots Beadsl he exclaimed. ham oun.d When Wang Foo bade tha surgeon good-bye, he started away In his Jln-rlk-sha toward the English Consular Gardens and In less than a quarter of an hour he alighted there and paying off the coolie, crossed the park by one of the paths open to the public and, emerging into the native alley at the other end, soon found his way to the home of the baaket-maker from Hong Kong, which home supplied for him the place of a native hotel. After the evening rice and the pipe of peace he started out again appar ently for an Innocent stroll by the river's bank and ere long reached the high brick wall which bounded the Consular Gardens. Here he paused a moment and, looking In both directions to be sure he was not being observed. Bowser. "Now, then, listen to me. We are going to sell this house and buy a chicken farm.'' "We are not going to do any such blamed thing!" almost shouted Mr Bowser. "Tou wait till I get through. This house and lot are worth ten thousand dollars, but we will sell It for six thousand, if we can't do better. I have found a chicken farm of one hundred acres. Wa can buy it for six thousand. There is a pretty good house on It. and one hundred chickens to start with. 1 have been talking with the man who owns it He haa consumption and wants to sell out. I told him you would be around to see him in the morning." "But I will not do so!" exclaimed Mr, Bowser. "Woman, what in thun der ails you? Tou go ahead and provo to me that we can't make a blamed ha quickly removed his Jacket of yel low ana nis gown ot oiue ana turning them inside-out, changed their whole color and appearance and re-dressed himself In brown and purple. The blue knobvon his hat was drawn out on' Its wire and a red one quickly slipped Into Its place, a long mustache and goatee fastened to his upper Up and chin and he re-entered the park as a visitor from one of the up-river cities. Even the surgeon's house-boy, who took such an interest in his afternoon visit, would have been utterly unable to recognize him in the evening. (It was this self same house-boy, by the way, that told Wang Foo all about the patient In the hospital, at whose bedside the Consul and the surgeon were talking, and thus enabled him to form a judgment In tha case before his host even Introduced the subject.) He sauntered along, over the Hong Kew Bridge and down by the old American Consulate, till he came to the gate of the Mission Hospital and, pass ing It, took a proffered seat In the gate keeper's lodge. After the pipe and tea he inquired, quite casually, "The for eign doctor will not return this eve ning?" "No, Venerable Sir," replied the keeper. "And who Is in charge here during the night?" "Dr. Chang, his assistant, la Jn charge, sir." "Please say to him that a visitor from another city would like the honor of meeting him" (slipping a good-sized coin Into his palm). t "Alas, sir. Dr. Chang and the head nurse ara both away at the bathing hall, but tha second nurse will escort you, If you wish to go Into the hos pital, sir." "Thank you, I want very much to If an old friend of mine is a patient here." Duly escorted by Hoo Sing the second nurse, Wang Foo entered the male Ward No. 1, 'and passed along from bed to bed, until he came to the place where the unfortunate victim of the "luke warm" tea" was asleep under his quilt. He paused and asked Hoo Sing about them at tcLStr. him, quite astonishing the nurse with his familiarity with the case and utterly disarming any suspicion he might have about a visit to tha ward at this late hour of the night. "Poor chap," he said, "It certainly went hard with blm for his unfllial spirit." "It certainly did. sir." "But my heart goes out to him now for he certainly has suffered. I won der if you couldn't Just run down to the fruit seller's by the Hong Kew Bridge and buy him a dozen oranges and hide them away under his bedding for him? See, here is the money and a wine-tip for yourself." "I ought not to leave the hospital alone, sir, when tho doctor is away, but it won't be for very long, so I Uhink I can risk it." I cut In the .hick., rm.lness and then you turn right around and figure out that' we can make thousands of dollars. What do you mean, anyhow? "You talk like a crazy woman!" "When. I've finished you won't say so. We sell this house and move out there. W buy ten thousand more ciiickens. I can buy them for about i fifty cents apiece. That Is about five thousand dollars a mere nothing to us. We shall buy thirty incubators. We shall want the kind that sell for $150. The coat is a mere nothing to us. Every day we shall gather from those ten thousand chickens at least ten thousand eggs. From those incu bators we shall hatch about three thousand chickens a day. There is a constant and rreat demand for broil ers. We can meet that demand. Our income from broilers alone will be at least one thousand five hundred dollars per day. I estimate our eggs will bring us in $2,000 a day. Now, then "Stop: stop: roared Mr. Bowser. "Here, this window is very near thr ground; I'll help you out and you car slip quietly down there without any one being the wiser." Suiting the action to the word the nurse climbed out the window and crept away in the direction of the Bridge, leaving Wang Foo alone in the ward. The moment he realized the situation he rose and looking very carefully about him stepped softly over to the last bed In the corner and leaning forward eagerly scrutinized the face of the patient. He was asleep. His face and skin were as yellow as the golden let ters on the scroll above his bed. He was breathing slowly and painfully. On the wooden tablet his name was writ ten, "Ting Tai Foo" and after it the significant words, "Poison Unknown." The detective unfastened the upper but tons of his sleeping jacket and un covering his chest revealed stretching serosa from shoulder to shoulder a string of seven round scars. "The Abbot's Beads: The Abbot's Beads he exclaimed, "I have found them at last." He started and looked hastily around, but no one had heard him and not a patient seemed to be stirring. He re traced his footsteps and. bidding the gate-keeper good-night turned sharply around into the adjoining street. Sum moning the first two Jln-rlk-shas he bargained with them for a very special duty, which was no less than to assist him in returning a patient ta his home from the foreigner's hospital a duty they are always glad to undertake. He hurried with them to the window through which tho nurse had gone for the oranges; it was but the work of a moment for him to push the two coolies through it and to point them to the bed where the poison victim lay soundly sleeping. In an instant more they had wrapped him un In his colored autlt. passed him out through the window and were dragging his jln-rik-sha through tho back streets of the Settlement in the direction of the Chinese City gates. When Dr. Evanstone made his rounds through the hospital on the following morning, he came to bed No. 11 in the corner of Ward No. 3 and noticed that the patient was missing! Dr. Chang and. the two nurses all disclaimed any knowledge of the escape and the gate keeper swore that no patient had passed as he rose up. "Why woman, you are talking like a lunatic!" "Don't interrupt me, Mr. Bowser." she softly said. "I figure that we will need two cooks and an assistant, be cause we will have to board our help There will be at least eight men, and you and I must turn In and work. Tou will need an automobile to go to town and see the market men. I will need a runabout to go to the bank witfl our money. Each of us must have a chauf feur and that will make two more In the house. The first thing off you will have to buy miles and miles of chicken wire, and then "I won't buy one darned foot of chicken wire!" shouted Mr. Bowser as he brousht his fist down. "Then you must build a freight or packing house for our own convenience. It is five miles to a railroad station. Instead of trying to haul our eggs and chickens to the depot. I think you had better build a railroad. It will be about five miles long and cost $75,000. out that will be a mere flea bite to through the door there was only one conclusion, namely: he had vanished through the window! "But he was too- weak to walk." said the surgeon to his assistant, "to say nothing of attempting to climb out of a window." "Tea." was the reply of the Chinese deputy, with the blandest of smiles, "but you see It is getting near the Chinese New Year season now anl all the pa tients' friends want them back home and, if they can't come themselves, why their friends and relations Just come and bring them, that's is all. Every hospital in China has the same expe rience. Shall we enter him as 'Dis charged and cured?" "Xo, sir," replied the American, rather irritated at the question, "we will enter him simply as 'Vanished'. I will enter myself as 'Cured', and if this thing oc curs again when you are on duty, you will enter yourself as 'Discharged'." That afternoon Dr. Evanstona met Mr. Wang Foo strolling through the English Garden. The latter greeted him with: "Well, Doctor, how is our poor un fllial friend today?" "Oh, he Is getting on nicely, but the chap in the next bed to him a mys terious poison case that I was most anxious to treat and watch Jumped out the window last night and took French leave. The nurses tell me he went home for New Tear'a. Isn't it a little early in the season for that sort of thing, Mr. Wang?" "Well, yes, unless ha came .from a distance and they all Ilka to get home early, you know. What was the case 7 Opium, as usual. I suppose." "No, not at all, some drug or other that ha had taken that turned him yellow as gold. We couldn't ret a word out of hlra. so I had to make all my diagnosis by dead reckoning, as the sailors say." "Too bad that you couldn't go on with the case, wasn't it? Well, per haps he will turn up again. They some times come back after New Tear's, If they think the hospltaf has been good to them. Would you know him again if he did?" "Yes, I could spot him out of a thou sand." "How so? The foreigners usually say that their native patients all look to much alike that they can hardly tell one from the other." "Well, this chap had a string of scars across his chest. They looked as If they had been made with old copper cash by some native doctor. They were so reg ular that I nick-named him at once 'Old Necklace' and I know I could pick him out anywhere." "Tou don't remember who brought him to tha hospital, do you?" "No, It's Impossible for me to remem ber these things without referring to the Record Book but, now thst you speak of it, I believe he was picked up in the street very early in the morn ing, quite unconscious and with a piece of paper pinned on to his gown which said, 'Please take me to the foreign hospital.' "Well, his coming, then, was about as mysterious as his goinr. wasn't it?" re marked Wang Foo with a smile, as he bade the surgeon good-night and con tinued his walk through the park. The lamp was burning low In the Inner chamber of the Tao Tai's Tamen in old Shanghai, where two offi cials were leaning over a table and carefully scrutinizing a number of papers unrolled before them. "Tour Excellency," remarked the Secretary, "these letters show that so far nothing has been found in the up river cities, although most careful search has everywhere been made. Here are reports also from Hang Chow and foo Chow and they are all to the same effect. I still believe that he will be found hiding somewhere In Shanghai, for, as you know, they think they sre safer here than anywhere else In the country. They are lost In the mixed multitude here and can easily escape detection." "How long haa Wang Foo been at work here now?" "He arrived on the third day of the moon, this is the seventeenth, exactly two weeks tonight." "Well, what Is his latest idea? Has he any definite clue?" "Nothing that he has given out. so far, but, as your Excellency knows, he Is a man of few words and very reti cent and doesn't as a rule commit him self until he is very sure of his whole position." "Have the European police made a thorough search through all the pawn shops and rookeries in tha- Settlement for the stolen beads?" "Tes, but the difficulty is that no one Is able to give them an accurate de scription, for no one has ever seen them." "True, that adds to the mystery. We must wait a few daya more and see If anything further develops." The above conversation between the Tao Tai and his Secretary had refer- us. Tou see, the chicken raisers have not "By tha Lord Harry, woman "Sh-s-s Mr. Bowser, let me go on It has been suggested to me that we go into bee-keeping In connection with the chickens. I will tell you why w should do so. When a hen won't lay an egg every day there is something wrong with her emotions., She la In a morbid state, and she wants arous ing. We have the bees to arouse her It is a fact that every time a bee stings a hen she cackles in her Joy ana runs away and lays aa egg valued at five cents. Five hlvas of bees will keep the hens aroused and they will make us about $5,000 every year." "By George by George!" whispered Mr. Bowser. "And they have found out.'' con tinued Mrs. Bowser, "that the stingins of bees will cure rheumatism. Why not advertise that you will take one hundred rheumatic patients a week and charge them $10 each? Keep you- lchickena busy. Keep your bees busy. ence to tha head of one of the most dangerous bands of counterfeiters tha Chinese Government had had to deal with. After many months of- unrelent ing labor, most of the members had been apprehended and some of them summarily punished, but tha ring leader was still at large and the Pro vincial authorities were holding the Tao Tai responsible for his whereabouts. The latter, after exhausting all other means, had sent to Hong Kong for Wang Foo and the great detective had now been some two weeks at work upon the case. All that he had to go upon was a very meagre description of the man, which had been wormed out of his confederates by torture and a placard which was found tacked to the door of the Tao Tai's apartment in the Tamen. The placard bore these words: "Wei Jin Toong Tao Chlen Chao, Choo Tze Choo Ting Yeu Pao." Which might be freely rendered as follows "He who makes coin for human flee da. Will surely wear the Abbot's beads." Aa all criminals are generally fond of Jewelry, His Excellency concluded at once that the head counterfeiter was wearing a valuable rosary, probably purloined from some neighboring temple and, In due course of time, would seek to dispose of It at some pawnbroker's In the city. A very thorough search was accordingly made by both tha English and the Chinese police, of tha temples and of the pawnshops, but, al-- though several necklaces were un earthed, nothing waa recovered that could with any propriety be called "Tha Abbot's Beads." No temple treasury had been robbed what other kind of beads could possibly be referred to? It was while passing a sailor's tattoo shop near the Japanese wharf that an inspiration came to Wang Foo, which opened an entirely new line of search. Hla eye was attracted by the sign and its peculiar wording: "Why pay out your money for Jewels of silver and gold, When I can adorn you with those that never grow old?" Thia was surrounded by cheap pic tures and prints of rings, watohes, pins, necklaces and glittering Jewels tattooed on the human frame. Why might not the "Abbot's Beads be painted or tat tooed or even cut and burned Into tha neck of the man he waa seeking? Ha thought It all out that night, and the very next day began his search for the "Beads". How and Where he eventually found them, has been already told above. "But what made you think of looking for him In tha Mission Hospital, Mr. Wang?" Inquired Inspector dubbins a few days after the capture, as they were having a friendly chat and smoke over it at Headquarters. That's about the last place to expect to find a Chlneae criminal. Isn't It? "Tes and no. If they or their friends have ever been treated by a foreign surgeon, they are almost certain to go back to him In time of ffouble, for they know it's their only chance of life. You see he had evidently two companions, and. as Is often the case, when the time of danger came, one stood by him and the other turned against him. The friend was the one who pinned the paper on his gown say ing, "Please take me to the foreign hospital," the enemy was the one who attempted to poison him and who put the placard on the Tao Tai's door." "But why should they make their notice so formal and ambiguous? Why go to all the trouble of putting It into poetry?" "Ah, my dear Mr. Gubbins, that's Just the difference between East and West. 'Whatever is worth c'oinrr at all is worth doing well." we aay, and there Is no reason why a notice of a thief to hla friends shouldn't be in good poetry that is, provided he can write the poetry, is there?" "Why, I suppose not. I've even heard that in some Asiatic, countries. when a man Intends to commit suicide. he spends hours, and even days, in com posing his farewell to the world. I suppose that means that he wants lots of pity and sympathy and all that sort of thing after It's too late to give it to him, eh?" "No, not at all. It simply means that the law of courtesy and grace holds right through unto the end. There's no reason why one shouldn't go out of this world in as refined and as be coming a way as possible. Is there?" How beautiful and dignified were tha old suicides of the East! Contrast tha silken cord of China, or the hara-kiri sword of Japan with the horrible and repulsively vulgar blowing out of one's brains with sn American gun. Would any person with an artistic taste hesi tate between them? It reminds me of the classic: "What la perfect propriety? asked tha disciples of Confucius. "To withdraw as gracefully as one enters," replied the Master. Keep your h'red help busy. Keep your railroad busy. Keep your bank ac count busy. Why, Mr. Bowser if yoj will let me. I will make a million dol lars for you." "No, you won't! Tou would make a pauper of me In ten days!" "We shall need about five thousand bushels of oyster shells for our chick ens to nibble on, and I wish you would see to It tha first thing In the morn ing. Tou can do this while I am sell ing our place." "Shut right up about the chicken business!" hoarsely commanded Mr. Bowser. "I don't want to hear an other word about It. Tou are aa crasy as a bed bug. Tou get some sense Into your head, or I'll be hanged If I don't divorce you!" And Mr Bowser left the house to take a walk and, when he had gone Mrs. Bowser fell into such a fit of laughter that the cook came running up from the kitchen and wanted to know If she shouldn't telephone for the doctor.

THE SKY HONEYMOON By Juanita Hamel My HEART and My HUSBAND Adcle Garrison's New Phase of Illustrated by Gruelle PICKY VISITS MAMA AND DADDY PARSON BIRD. ONE flay aa Dicky was at play out In the yard he saw two Strang looking black birds, each with two white hands extending downward from their throats to their gloasy black plu mage. First, one shook his head, bend ing; It to one side and then to the other side, and made a queer noise. Then tha second little fellow Sid tha same thing. Then both puffed out their feathers, lifted their heads and opened their mouths so wide Dicky could jee their little tongue, and they poured forth a wild, merry song. "Well, I never heard two birds singing a duet before," mused Dicky. 'They must be brothers, I guess." "Wrong!" laughed a' merry voice, and Dicky's little friend, Sju-edee from Joyland, hopped up from the grasses at Dicky's feet. "That's Mama and Daddy Parson Bird singing their dally duet." "I never knew that lady birds had singing voices." mused Dlckv. "I'm glad to hear them. I only wish 'Tou wish you could visit them!" laughed Squeedee. "And we shall." Before Dicky could blink hl eyes he and Squeedee were perched up beside Mama nnd Daddy Parson Bird on tha limb of the tree. Daddy Parson Bird laughed gayly when Squeedee told him that Dicky had Mistaken his wife for his brother. "Well, that's one thing we have over most of r ur friends. he chirped mer rily. "The ladies of our set can sins; as well an the men. nnd we can talk as well aa parrots If folks would take tha trouble to tench us their language. Build nests? Bay. you should see tha one she helped me build; it's a dandy!" Without more words Daddy Parson Bird led Snuecdea and Dicky to their "Oh, Sing It Now!" lovely nest built In tho fork of a great, big bush. Here, on a foundation of stout twigs and dry sticks, a few feet from the ground, was quite a large nest. Tha walls mere built of coarse moss, and It was lined with fine, soft grass. Mamma Parson Bird let Dlckr peek Into the downy nest. Thre little white egg", powdered over wllh reddish-brown spots and specks, nestled In the cresses. "And wllh all your help In building. laying eggs and hatching your wee ones, you still can nnd time to sing." laughed Dicky. "How lucky vou are to have such an aceompllaiied wife!" "Indeed I am!" chirped Daddy Parson Bird. "All birds aren't as lucky aa I am. I m very proud of Mama Parao Bird's voice and we certainly enjoy our evening duet, which we offer aa a song or tnan Kruiness. "Oh. sing It now!" exclaimed Dlckv "Maybe Squeedee will let me understand the words. S lanehed and Mama and Daddy Parson Bird hopped upon a limb. And these were the words that poured from their glossy throats: "Tuwhit, tu-whit, tu-woo. Now we'll sing our prriee to you. Thank for all the lovely flowers. Sunny dells and shady bowers. Thank for sunshine thank for rain, W are happy just the same. Tu-whit, tu-whit, tu-woo, Theee are the thank we sing to you. When tha duet was ended Daddy and Mama Parson Illrd bid Dicky and Hqueedee good night, and Dicky went home to bed. i iJilrWMI By Genevieve Kemble SUNDAY AND MONDAY, AUG. 24-25.

He doesn't seem to dress himself up like most of the boys do. I did not want to tell him right out, but I am always remarking about other fel lows and how nice and tidy they are. Could you tell me any way to make him take an interest in his clothes? TROUBLED. TROUBLED: I think you are mak ing a crave mistake. It Is never wise to call attention to other men and compare them with your fiance. It would be far better to talk frankly with him about himself. Tell him how much you love him, and what a handsome man he would be If only he would pay a little more attention to his clothes. I believe this will work out well, and that he will respond to the suggestion. Tell him you feel he would look well in this or that sort of tie or collar or suit of clothes. Of course, appearance Is not every thing, but at the same time you are quite right in wishing him to he a man of whom you can be proud, both aa to his heart and his outward appearance.

Will she see the wrinkles in her face now I wonder?

Secrets of Health Lead Poisoning Some of the Ways It Shows Its Presence By DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG A. B., M. A., M. D. (Johns Hopkins University) I 'HE giant impetus given to building and painting T I operations has suddenly renewed the menace of lead poisoning, lead colic and disorders of health which sometimes afflict those who work in paints and allied industries. Lead poison is cured by a change of occupation, avoidance of all things, even medicines, hair dyes and poison ivy cures with lead in them. The electrolytic bath has been quite conclusively proved incapable of removing lead from human tissues, but its psychical value cannot be doubted. More impor tant are carefully regulated standards of industrial and personal hygiene Absnrntion of lead and lead compounds occurs by the inhalation of dust laden with lead, which fimis lodgment in the respiratory tract, and. mixed with saliva, reaches the stomach by way of the dicestlon, soiled hands con-.amlnated food and in the form of vapor and dust. Absorption probably also occurs through the skin. There is a great difference In suscepti bility of different Individuals to lead poisoning. Women are considered more susceptible than men.

"You see, the tucks are so tiny that the goods stand out like a cord, A real cording Is used on the waist and the cuffs, however." "I think that neck and waistline are so original and so becoming," Mrs. Aber crombie remarked. "Yes, the crossed straps that might hsve been Inspired by knapsack straps are very good, especially so when they forget and stop at the vest line, where they disappear beneath those buttons." Madame exclaimed. "The buttons are self-covered, aren't they I always like bone buttons with tricotine." said Mrs. Abercromble. "Bone buttons certainly look well with tricotine, but this gown seems to call for self-covered buttons. They are re peated on the sleeves, you see." "Yes.

"I like those tucks," said Mrs. Aber cromble. "They make s, very effective trim ming on tricotine. serge or gabardine, especially when the angles are worked with embroidered arrows made of black silk, such as those used on this gown.

Washlrg ton l I'. The stock raisers and feeders are lining up with the Independent pack ets In opposition to government con trol of the packing Industry. But re cently the stockgrowers were loud In their denunciation of the packers They seem to have seen a new light. Even the public appears" to have reached the conclusion that It Is the retailers who are responsible for the high pries of meals. It looks as tho the wholesale grocers will be left to carry on the fight ngalnst the "Big Klve" alone and unaided. W. J. Tod, a well known Kansas stockman of Ma ple Hill, Is quoted In the Kansas Stockman as writing to Senator Cap per: "I have been 'n the stock busi ness for a long time now, and I am still weathering the storm; and I maintain that the big packing Indus try has been nnd will be the greatest asset the stockman of the west ever had or can have." Yet Senator Ken yfm says that opposition to his bill Is the result of propaganda carried on l.v the packers. Does anybody be lieve It? If the railroads be confiscated. In quires tho Won man Keview, and turned over to the brotherhoods, what becomes of 12,000,000 life Insurance policies protected largely by Invest ments in railroad bonds? What Is to be done with 12,000.000 accounts In e:ivins banks whose resources are largely represented by railroad bonds? Are we to buy the railroads nnd turn them over to the Big Four? Where are going to get 1 8,000,000,000 to pay for them? That is easy accord ing to some of the advocates of the plan: We won't pay that much. In surance companies and savings banks can get along with what they receive, and the 90,000 owners of railway se curities must be content with what the brotherhoods elect to give. Government operation for a little more than a year and a half and un der competent management at that bus made not merely a wreck of the finances of what was once the great est and most successful railway ays tern in the world. It has made a wreck of the railway service. It has made a wreck of the railway morale. It has made a wreck of the railway physical being. Do the American people de sire to make further experiments along this line? The United States will this year take second rank among the nations as a producer of beet sugar. While this new and greatly advanced rank that we hold Is In part a result of the po litlenl rearrangement of the beet su gar producing areas of Europe cou pled with a marked decline In produc tion of beet sugar in that continent, it is at the same time illustrative of the wonderfsl growth of beet sugar pro duction In the United States. At the beginning of the war. according to a statement by the National City bank of New York, the United States held only fifth rank among the beet sugar producing countries of the world and In fact produced but about 8 per cent of the beet sugar. The decline In the European product coupled with the slight Increase in our own brought our share of the world's production to about 1 per cent last year with a prospect that the crop of the current year will be larger than that of last year and form a slightly larger per centage of the world's total output. In his hlgh-cost-of-livlng address. President Wilson said three things: That high cost of living has burdened the people a long time; that much of the excessivs cost of living Is due to profiteering; that the executive offi cers of the government will proceed to prosecute the profiteers. Where upon it is pointed out by the Republi can Publicity association that he has long known or should have known the burden the people have been bearing, laws which provide punishment for profiteering have been on the federal statute books (or many months; re sponsibility for delay In prosecutions rests solely upon the men whom Pres- Idrrt Wilson appointed to office. HOW PRICES HAVE CLIMBED. Tha cour which living and pro duction costs have taken since 1896 Is shown by an Investigation made by the Illinois committee on public util ity Information. The figures show that in that period food prices have increased 215 par cent; clothing prices 250 per cent; the price of anthracite 85 p r cent and taxes 100 per cent. Pr-etleally the only prices which did not double and triple were those of the public utility Industry electric, transportation, gaa and telephor.i rates anet thia despite the tremen dously Increased Improvements and service. Electricity rates show an ac tual decrease during the period of TO per cent, this being possible thru the fact that development In the industry was at Its height and Increased oper atlng costs were being met thru econ omies effected thru new Inventions, centralisation of power plants and use of water power, the rapid growth in volume of the electrical business and efficient management. It was only within the last year, when materials and labor costs be came exceptionally oppressive that these companies asked for additional rates. Public utility rates hold the war record of being the last of all pricea of necessities to rise, they fol lowing far in the rear of clothing, food, fuel, and rents and the propor tion of advance is far below that of the others. Taking the year 189 as "par." the course upward of the prices of the products enumerated has been, ac cording to the committee's figures: Food 1898, Increase 6 per cent; 1904. Increase 25 per cent; 1910, In crease 80 per cent; 1914, Increase 7g per cent; 1918, Increase 120 per cent: 1918, Increase 215 per cent. Clothing 1898, increase 20 per cent; 1904.

The continuance of revolutiqnary activity in Mexico frequently has been charged to the activities of American oil Interests in that country. It has asserted frequently that the cam paigns of revolutionary leaders. Villa In particular, have been financed by these interests. Some light on this subject may be gained from an article written by F. Beckwlth Davis, appear ing in Leslie's. In part It follows: The romance cf Mexican oil is one of the most interesting chapters of Industrial history; but the romance of Mexican on propaganda Is even more fascinating. It is a romance full of intrigue, trickery, deceit, the confu sion of statesmen, the browbeating of oriiciats. ana alas, touched here and there with tragedy with the stories of brave men shot down in ambush, robbed of everything they possessed, and either left to make their un charted way thru the Jungle, naked to the brush and Insects of tropical swamps, or their bodies left stark in the forests for the beasts to prey on and the purifying buzzard to clean. But it will come as a shock to most people to know that the propaganda has been one-sided, and the side that has made use of this lever on public opinion to shift the great responsi bility of murder, theft ar.d political trickery from its shoulders has been the Mexican side. The American pub lic has been deceived. Americans have been the victims. The bodies left td rot in the steaming swamps have been the bodies of American eltixens. The statesmen who have had the wool pulled over their eyes have been Americans. The people who have been despoiled of their property have been those whose rights It was the duty of the United States government to protect In whatever part of the world they were, for they were citi zens of this great republic, who had gone Into Mexico In search of oil needed by this country, the develop-' ment of which had resulted In untold benefit to Mexico herself. The Mexican oil propaganda began in 1911. when Porfirto Diaz, his star waning nnd with the wolves of re volt close on his heels, raised the cry that fhe Standard Oil was backing Madern with oil money. This was the birth of the Romance of Mexican Oil Propaganda. Diaz could explain the" Madero successes only by exposing the dry-rot of his system, and to avoid this confession he and his sup porters filled the Mexican. British and American newspapers with accusa tions against the Stsndard Oil. or Waters-Pierce company, charging that the company was furnishing arms, munitions and vast sums of money to the Maderlstas The object of Dlas was. of course, to discredit Madero In the eyes of the American public, to shift the re sponsibility for the failure to suppress the revolution from his own shoulders to the oil company. Madero won, but this first blast of oil propaganda also won, and Its victory was more enduring than Madero's. So success ful was this Initial use of oil propa ganda that the senate of the United States appointed a committee to in vestigate the charges, and after nu merous hearings and the testimony of many witnesses which filled 409 pages, this committee developed the Incontrovertible fact that the charges were utterly unfounded. In spite of the facts that this In vestigation disclosed. In spite of the proved falsity of the charge, and In the face of the established fact that interference with Mexico's internal af fairs would be the worst possible pol icy for the oil companies to pursue, the Impression that Mexican revolu tion la the story of oil. that oil in fluence is hack of all the trouble in Mexico. Is still abroad, and Is played upon by every amateur Journalistic and reform expert, and by every Mex ican government that needs something on which to blame its own Ineptitude, misfortunes or failures. EVENING STORY Ring Three. BY WILL, T. AMES. The telephone in the east room of the Hanford homestead rang zlng-zing-xing. Miss Hanford, who was writing notes, glanced Inquiringly at the instrument The house was on party line, to be sure; separate wires in that locality were not to be thought of; but Eleanor did not remember having heard a "ring three" call that year. Zing zing zing! zing zing zing! clamored the phone. Miaa Hanford was wondering, as ten thousand other people have wondered under similar circumstances, whether she shouldn't really answer, on the chance of the operator having made a mistake, when a man burst into the room. The man was a total str nger. Eleanor had never seen him fore. He was a large man and young, and obviously stark, raving mad; for not only had he made his entrance to the house uninvited and without per mission of anybody, but now, without the first word of apology and with out even glancing at Miss Hanford. he rushed wildly to the telephone, grabbed the receiver and yelled in a lavishly redundant voice, "Hello;" To Eleanor's ordinary calm eyes his entire demeanor was that of a lunatic, perhaps a dangerous one. Without too much fuss she shifted her position so that the drawer with the pistol in It was Just beside her right hand. The intruder, who had flung- him self into the none-too-strong Windsor chair beside the telephone table and made it creak alarmingly In doing so, appeared still to be utterly unaware of Miss Hanford's presence. "Hello! hello!" he bawled, the look of wild anxiety on his countenance be coming still wilder as he appeared to wait, In desperate Impatience, a reply that did not come. Miss Hanford, who was never pre cipitate, had almost made up her mind to flee and seek the protection of old Mark, the gardener, or Hannah in the kitchen, when a great change came upon the man at the phone. The strained, eager look dlaappeared, a happy light sprang into his gray eyes, and he smiled broadly Miss Hanford mentally classified the smile as a grin. "Like a Cheshire cat's" she Indig nantly concluded. "Sure, this Is Les." the uninvited guest was saying Into the phone. "Never so glad to hear a human voice in my life, sweetheart! Don't seem as If I could wait another minute to see you. What's that? Yes: didn't know but you'd be up on the two-eighteen. Yes; rets here at five twenty. You bet; I'll bs there, Good-by, honew!" When about half way thru this monologue the man twisted about on his chair till he was facing the mis tress of the Hanford establishment. Then, still grinning broadly and with the receiver still at his ear. he winked at Eleanor winked at Miss Eleanor Hanford, if you please! The nerve of him!- Miss Hanford arose to the full height her slxty-tbree majestic Inches. She no longer felt any fear of this madman; she was experiencing In stead a mighty Indignation. Much anything might be forgiven in a mere lunatic: but for a vandal like thia to violate your privacy, to seise upon your property, to set at defiance all the conventions and safeguards of society for the purpose of making love over your phone to some other woman ugm! Miss Hanford was all Icy calmness as the trespasser, hanging up the re ceiver, uncoiled his tall length from the trembling Windsor shalr and stood erect. She gave him no time for a first word there is no strategy in that. "May I be privileged," Inquired Eleanor, "to know to whom I have the honor of being hostess and why? It would be Interesting to learn what there Is about this house to give strangers the Impression that it is a hotel or an office building? I do not think It has ever been regarded as a mere public utility before." "I'm awfully sorry. Miss Hanford you are Miss Hanford, are you not? But what's the use of that talk I know you are. I am honestlv awfully sorry to come tearing In that way. but I'll tell you how It was. "You see, I've had that little bunga low that seta back in the woods a quarter of a mile above here for a week. I've been away for a good while on that little business over across and she's been in California, so we haven't seen each other. She got home to New York yesterday and wired that she'd be out here on this afternoon's train. There are two trains, you know, fend I put In a tele phone call for her at New York. After It was In. and I'd waited half an hour fl realized that If I waited any longer I couldn't meet the two-eighteen. When the phone man hooked up the bunga low he told me that this big white house and that stone one down below were the only other subscribers on the line. My number was three. "Just as I was passing here I heard the ring. Golly! What was I going to do? If I stopped to be polite they'd calmly say, 'Party's hung up; excuse it. please!' by the time I got the re ceiver down. I know it was rotten manners, but you've got to make al lowances for a fellow, sometimes, now haven't you? My name's Grey Les ter Grey; I scribble Xoolish things that foolish people print sometimes. I hope you'll pardon my headlong In trusion." Miss Eleanor Hanford. with all her dignity and all her responsibility as a woman of position and not a little wealth, was as a, matter of fact. Just a mere girl. And this big. utterly nat ural, blundering boy with the marks of overseas still on him. was good to look upon. Somehow it wasn't the ingenuous impropriety quite shock ing in Itself of his receiving his sweetheart in a lonely bachelor bungalow- that made Eleanor feel a new and different kind of Indignation toward him. Anyway down In her secret hart she knew that It was because there was a sweetheart at all. "Oh. very well," she laughed for, of course, under this new circum stance, being a woman, she could no longer show Indignation of any sort lest It be construed In a certain way- "if you put your defense on the grojnd of temporary aberration, there is nothing else to do but pardon you, I suppose." Grey should have gone away the l Of course he should. A young man In his peculiar position would be do ing very well, you'd think to get t ut of the situation without complicating it further. But the more he looked at this marchioness-like little person the more he didn't want to. The only thing he could think of to say, how ever, was: May I not bring her to see you. Miss Hanford?" If looks could kill, Lester Grey should have been at least a serious casualty. "Bring whom, pray, Mr. Grey?" Eleanor Inquired chilllly, with her eyebrows a quarter of an inch higher than normal. "My mother, of course." Whisper: Secrets: Just between you and me: There was the gladdest little thrill that ever was, right thru the middle of Eleanor's heart,' as she said very nearly gasped "Why, I should be positively delighted."

The wind blew hard and, joggled the water of the ocean, sending ripples across its surface. Then the wind pushed the edges of the ripplea until they became waves, and shoved the waves around until they became bil lows. The billows rolled dretdfully high; higher even than the tops of houses. Some of them. Indeed, rolled as high as the tops of tall trees, and seemed like mountains; and the gulfs between the great billows were like deep valleys. All this mad dashing and splashing of the waters of the big ocean, which the mischievous wind caused without any good reason whatever, resulted in a terrible- storm, and a storm on the ocean ia liable to cut many queer pranks and do a lot of damage. At the time the wind began to blow, a ship was sailing far out upon the waters. When the waves began to tumble and toss and to grow bigger and bigger the ship rolled up and down, and tipped sidewise first one way and then the other and was Jostled around so roughly that even the sailor-men had to hold fast to the ropes and railings to keep themselves from being swept away by the wind or pitched headlong into the sea. And the clouds were so thick in the sky that the sunlight couldn't get thru them; so that the day grew dark as night, which added to the terrors of the storm. The captain of the ship was not afraid, because he had seen storms before, and had sailed his ship thru them in safety; but he knew that his passengers would be In danger if they tried to stay on deck, so he put them all Into the cabin and told them to stay there until after the storm was over, and to keep brave hearts and not be scared, and all would be well with them. Now, among these passengers was a little Kansas girl named Dorothy Gale, who was going with her Uncle Henry to Australia, to visit some rela tives they had never before seen. Un cle Henry, you must know, was not very well, because he had been work ing so hard on his Kansas farm that his health had given way and left him weak and nervous. So he left Aunt Em at home to watch after the hired men and to take care of the farm, while he traveled far away, to Aus tralia to visit his cousins and have a good rest. Dorothy was eager to go with him on this journey, and Uncle Henry thought she would be good company and help cheer him up; so he de cided to take her along. The little girl was quite an experienced traveler, for she had once been carried by a cyclone as far away from home as the marvelous Land of Oz, and she had met with a good many adventures in that strange country before she managed to get back to Kansas again. So she wasn't easily frightened, and when the wind began to howl and whistle, and the waves began to tum ble and toss, our little girl didn't mind the uproar the least bit. "Of course we'll have to stay In the cabin." she said to Uncle Henry and the other passengers, "and keep as quiet as possible until the storm is over. For the captain says If we go on deck we may be blown overboard." No one wanted to risk such an acci dent as that, you may be sure; so "all the passengers stayed huddled up in the dark cabin, listening to the shriek ing of the storm and the creaking of th,m maat. onil rlolnp and Irvini. tn rfc-eep from bumping into one another when the ship tipped rndewise. Dorothy had almost fallen asleep SANDRA THE JEALOUS By JANE PHELPS SANDRA IS RKCEIVED BY EVERETT'S FRIENDS. CHAPTER XXIV. When I had been in Henio-i about a month Everett's friends commenced calling on us. Some of them were very nice, others, especially some of the women, I did not like so well. I felt they patronized me. Even if I was younger1 than any of them they needn't take that tone with me, I grumbled to Mrs. Gray with whom I now often talked of things which an noyed or worried me things entirely unconnected with Everett, or what he said or did. "They don't mean to patronize you I am sure," she had told me. "But you look so young that they probably take that tone unconsciously." "I shall be glad when I am old enough to be treated like something beside a child!" I sputtered. "Don't wish to be old, my dear Mrs. Graham. We get old fast enough. I don't suppose there's a woman called on you who hasn't gone away envious of your youth and beauty." It was a comforting thought. Some of the women I had apostrophised as "cats!" so now I thought that I would show the "cats" that I was Just as at tractive ag they were perhaps some people might think me more so, as Mrs. Gray had said. It was nearing the time for Rose's vacation. I mentioned it to Everett, and said I should like to invite her to visit me if he approved. "Wait until summer then you can go j home and see them alL Let us have i this winter to ourselves," had teen his answer to my request. I was terribly disappointed, yet there was something in the way he had spoken that prevented me from insisting: even from asking again. Until he refused me I did not realize how much I had counted on this visit from Rose Grandon. I felt thrown back on myself, newly lonely, almost as If someone had been there and gone. But I made no complaint. When Everett spoke In that tone. I knew it would be of nc -use. I think he sensed something of my disappointment because for days after ward he was kind, and took me out a good deal. But I was scarcely con soled. I had wanted Rose so badly. I had wanted to talk of all the home folks. To chat about anything and everything that came into our heads. as girls, brought up as Rose and I had been, always do. I longed for a girl of my own age; one that liked the things I liked, and who undestood me. But I had soon found that it was nQt what I liked, but what Everett would allow me to do. But nothing since the night he told me of Leola had been so hard to bear as his refusal to allow Rose to visit me. Perhaps he was afraid I'd talk to her efful Stone&cCOZ L. Frank Baum Dorothy Afloat when she was aroused with a start to find that Uncle Henry was missing. She couldn't imagine where he had gone, and as he was not very strong she began to worry about him, and to fear he might have been careless enough to go on deck. In that case he would be In great danger unless he instantly came down again. The fact was that Uncle Henry had gone to lie down In his little sleeping berth, but Dorothy did not know that. She only remembered that Aunt Em had cautioned her to take good care of her uncle, so at once she decided to go on deck and find him. in spite of the fact that the tempest was now worse than ever, and the ship was plunging in a really dreadful manner. Indeed, the little girl found It was as much as she could do to mount the stairs to the deck, and as soon as she got there the wind struck her so fiercely that it almost tore away the skirts of her dress. Yet Dorothy felt a sort of Joyous excitement in defying the storm, and while she held fast to the railing she peered around thru the gloom and thought she saw the dim form of a man clinging to a mast not far away from her. This might be her uncle, so she called as loudly as she could: "Uncle Henry! Uncle Henry!" But the wind screeched and howled so madly that she scarce heard her own voice, and the man certainly failed to hear her, for he did not move. Dorothy decided she must go to him; so she made a dash forward. of Leola. He needn't have been. I shouldn't have broken my promise. We were invited to a dinner party at the home of one of Everett's friends. A large formal dinner. I loathed the thought of going. They were all about Everett's age; most of them people who had called upon me. Everett bought me a lovely new dinner dress. It, toe, was sapphire. A soft delicate affair of chiffon and sequins. My shoes and stockings matched exactly. Hetty said I was a dream in it when she helped me dress the night of the dinner. Everett also said I loolied lovely. I wore my hair In braids wrapped about my head. I had asked If I might not put it up so I would look a little older and more dignified, but Everett had peremptor ily refused. "You can be dignified with your hair as you always wear it. And it isn't at -all necessary that you l""k old. Anyone of them would gladl change places with you." I wondered if that were so. If wom en like those who had called cn me. stvlish. handsome women, would be glad to go backward anJ be young again. Why do you want to keep me so young?" I pouted. He did not answer, and boldly I asked: "Is It because you think you can make me over or because I can be treated more like a child If I look so young." the words weren't out before I was frightened. "Who put that into your head that I wanted to make you o-er?" "Why no one. It Just popped into my mind." "Come the car is waiting," he said, as he folded my beautiful cloak, the exact color of my gown, about my shoulders. In spite of his not replying I knew by his fsce that what I had said had in some way affected him. I com menced to wonder If he had had that in mind when he married me. Lcola had been twenty-she nine years older than I was when he had married her. Had he thought because of her wil fullness that if he married a young girl he could mould her, make her lose her own personality by absorb ing it before she was old enough to rebel? I dismissed the thought as we arrived at the home of hla friends; but it was to recur again and again in the time to come. If I had dreaded the dinner before we started. I dreaded it still more when we sat at table. The appoint ments were exquisite, the food deli cious. But I was taken In by a man older than father, while Everett es corted the handsomest, and youngest looking next to me woman there. In the Hen-coop. during a lull In the storm, to where a big square chickencoop had been lashed to the deck with ropes. She reached this place in safety, but no sooner had she seized fast hold of the slats of the big box In which the chickens were kept than the wind, as If enraged because the little girl dared to resist its power, suadenly redoubled Its fury. With a scream like that of an angry giant it tore away the ropes that held the coop and lifted it high into the air. with Dorothy still cling ing to the slats. Around and over it whirled, this way and that, and a few moments later the chicken-coop dropped far away Into the sea. where the big waves caught it and slid it up hill to a foaming crest and then down hill i.no a deep valley, as If It were nothing more than a plaything to keep them amused. Dorothy had a good ducking, you may be sure, but she didn't lose "her presence of mind even for a second. She kept tight hold of the stout slats and as soon as she could get the water out of her eyes she saw that the wind had ripped the cover from the coop, and the poor chickens were fluttering away In every direction, being blown by the wind until they looked like feather dusters without handles. The bottom of the coop was made of thick boards, so Dorothy found she was clinging to a sort of raft, with sides of slats, which readily bore up her weight. After coughing the water out of her throat and getting her breath again, she managed to climb over the slats and stand upon the firm wooden My escort was heavier than the wine he drank with such gusto, and which I never touched.

Oh. there is nothing to Tomorrow for Tomorrow haa never been. And bottom of the coop, which supported her easily enough. "Why. I've got a ship of my own!' she thought, more amused than frightened at her sudden change or condition; and then, as the coop climbed up to the top of a big wave, she looked eagerly around for the ship from which she had been blown. It was far, far away, by this time. Perhaps no one on board had yet missed her, or knew of her strange adventure. Down into a valley be tween the waves the coop swept her, and when she climbed another crest the ship looked like a toy boat, Jt was such a long way off. Soon It had en tirely disappeared In the gloom, and then Dorothy gave a sigh of regret at parting with Uncle Henry and began to wonder what was going to happen to her next. Just now she was tossing on the bosom of a big ocean, with nothing to keep her afloat but a miserable wood en hep-coop that had a plank bottom and slatted sides, thru which the wa ter constantly splashed and wetted her thru to the skin! And there was noth ing to eat when she became hungry as she was sure to do before long and no fresh water to drink and no dry clothes to put on. "Well, I declare!" she exclaimed, with a laugh. "You're In a pretty" fix. Dorothy Gale. I can tell you! and I haven't the least Idea how you're go ing to get out of It!" As If to add to her troubles the night was now creeping on, and the gray clouds overhead changed to Inky blackness. But the wind, as if satis fled at last with Its mischievous pranks, stopped blowing this ocean and hurried away to another part of the world to blow something else; so that the waves, not being Joggled any more, began to quiet down and be have themselves. It was lucky for Dorothy, I think, that the storm subsided; otherwise, brave tho she was. I fear she might have perished. Many children. In her place, would have wept and given way to despair; but because Dorothy had encountered so many adventures and come safely thru them it did not oc cur to her at this time to be espec ially afraid. She was wet and un eomfortoble. It Is true: but. after sighing that one sigh I told you OC, she managed to recall some of her cus tomary cheerfulness and decided to patiently await whatever her fate might be. By and by the black clouds rolled awav and showed a blue sky over head, with a silver moon shining sweetly In the middle of It and little stars winking merrily at Dorothy when she looked their way. The coo; did not toss around' any more, but I rode the waves more gently almost i like a cradle rocking so that the floor upon which Dorothy stood was no longer swept by water coming thru the slats. Seeing this, and being quite j exhausted by the excitement of the past few hours, the little girl decided that sleep would be the best thing to restore her strength and the easiest way in which she could pass the time. The floor was damp and she was her 'self wringing wet. but fortunately this i was a warm climate and she did not i feel at all cold. So she sat down in a j corner of the coop, leaned he'r back against the slats, nodded at the frlentt ly stars before she closed her eyes, 1 nnd was asleep In half a minute, i (Copyrighted by I..
