"Where do you propose to line-up on the presidential program?" White was asked as he furtively looked around the railway eating house and met no success in a search for a seat. "Gimme a piece of the mince pie yea. I'll stand right here and eat it" and White took the slab and helped himself to a generous bite. "The presidential list," continued the interviewer. "Henry Allen first and last. And no second choice," exclaimed White 1 as he articulated thru a face filled with pie and made a slight gesture which in the Republican convention next June ought to mean something like "true Americanism, our favorite son," and a lot of other things that could fit nicely into a nominating or a caucus speech. But it was the presidential boom let out of the bag. And White with frank candor and without ceremonies had started the thing right off on a smooth track. Friends of Governor Allen have re cently held several meetings in which the presidential situation was dis cussed. No definite announcement of plans were made by the governor, it Is stated. But his friends had gone over the situation, had counted noses, i xnn fnnfoa TT S -Prnipst marked time and looked for Just the!J,lex,CO OPle L-. protest proper moment when a formal boom would be launched for the governor for the presidency the first real, live, honest to goodness Kansas presidential possibility who looked like a going concern.

And that means that the Allen i organization of a year ago is out on the same track with a big bunch of I additional followers who probably didn't avail themselves of. the oppor- tunity to take a seat in the band wag on In August, 1918. Sidetrack Wood Boom. Sometime ago the Wood for president movement showed a sudden tendency to apply the air. It wasn't because the popular wor chieftain wasn t just as popular in nosas as utriuie. i',ment on the defensive. was merely because the coal receiver ship and developments generally nau turned thousands of eyes toward Kan sas and Henry J. Allen was looming up in the newspaper and magazine dope sheets as one of the probable: dark horses before the next .national convention. In view of these things, party lead ers hesitated to push a movement which mif?ht cause future embarrass ment. They didn't want to bo on record and perfect an organization which miht be required to go out of business because Kansas was behind j favorite son. So the Wood move ment spent a little time on the house track while leaders planned for the most auspicious launching of the Allen boom. Now William Allen White has started the whole thing moving under an "Allen all the time and no second choice" slogan.

POISONED BY HEN SPIKES Concordia, Kan., Jan. 2. "Graveyard gin" or "whisky with wood alcohol as the principal in gredient may be troubling some cities and towns, but Concordia is having a poison experience all, its own in the form of a mysterious malady developing from a chick en's spurs. Nine chicken pickers of a local packing company are ill with it. the effect being similar to blood poison. The first victim was spurred two weeks ago and oth ers, it is said, contracted the dis ease in a similar manner. Grocers Carry Out Threats to Openly Oppose Committee. Schedules on 103 Articles Held Up Until January 12. W. H. Kemper, chairman of the Shawnee county fair price committee, today expressed confidence that Judge John C. Pollock would dismiss the pe tition of the Topeka, grocers for a permanent restraining order against the committee when the case comes before him in the federal district court at Kansas City January 12. Fred Robertson, United States dis trict attorney, will defend the fair price committee's actions in establish ing maximum prices on 103 articles of food sold by retail grocers. Kem per will go to Kansas City tomorrow to discuss the case and lay before the federal attorney any information the latter may desire. I cannot see any chance that the court will mnl a ,,.rm.n.nl 4n,.no. ma,v ..-nr. -i, tion, authority for every move we have made and believe we can convince the court that prices fixed by us were not unfair to the grocers, as alleged by them." Coffee Profit 60 Per Cent. Kemper today had members of his committee working on the percentage or profit admittedly made by retail grocers on certain articles of food. As high' as 60 per cent profit on coffee was made by some grocers, Kemper charged. No profit lower than 26 per cent had been found at noon today. The committee will lay these figures before Robertson for his use in the hearing In Kansas City. Judge Pollock's order enjoined the committee from putting into effect its fair price list this morning, as sched uled. Following filing of a bill by T. F. Doran, attorney for the grocers, the court issued a temporary order re straining the Shawnee county fair price committee and Ed T. Hackney, state fair price commissioner, from "fixing, or further promulgating and. publishing, and from putting into ef fect, and from enforcing or attempting to enforce" the price: list drawn up last week. The order prevents Kemper's com mittee from interfering with grocery prices until the date of the hearings before Judge Pollock on January 12. A copy of the court order -was re ceived today in the office of O. T. Wood. United States marshal. It was served on members of the committee by R. Nell Rahn. chief deputy. Grocers Who Petitioned. The grocers who petitioned the In junction are: A. L. Green and William Green, representing William Green Son: Fred O. Morns, and C. K. Myers, of Morns Myers; H. -R. Whittlesey, W. H. Whittlesey, C. A. Whittlesey and S. R. Whittlesey, of the Owl Groceries; I. W. Dibble and D. M. Dibble, of the Dibble Grocery Co.; and Joe Fritton and B. V. Fritton, of the Fritton Groc ery Co. The defendants in the case are Ed T. Hackney, of Wellington; W. H. Kemper. C. D. Skinner, T. W. Thompson, J. A. Lortie, Thomas W. Lillard, Mrs. Edith Supple, Mrs. E. C. Arnold, Mrs. D. W. Mulvane and Rob ert T. Caldwell. The bill of. complaint carries a list of articles fixed by the fair price com mittee to show that the grocers will be selling 86 of the 103 articles at a doss. The grocers add 18 per cent to the prices to meet overhead expenses. When the temporary restraining or der was served on him and the mem bers of his committee, Kemper issued the following statement. "The fair prlre committee has been en joined from fixing or putting into effect prices complained of by Green Son, Morns Myers, the Whittleseys. of the Owl frmcpHps. Dibble Grocery Co. and Fritton Grocery Co., and, of course, being law-abiding citizens, we will obey the in junction. The good effects of the work done so for cannot be removed. The people have the information brought out and can profit by that. If the Injunction is denied on the 12th day of January, we will be able to go on with our price fixing just as we have been doing.

This course was indicated at the state house today following a con ference with Governor Allen by mem bers of the legislative committee of the brotherhoods. No course has as yet been definitely Indicated by the brotherhood repre sentatives concerning their position on the proposed industrial court act. It is understood, tho. that definite appo sition may be withdrawn to the bill provided the enactment does not re move too many rights now asserted by union interests. In other words, an acceDtance may be given to some measure which will curb strikes but at the same -lime safeguard collective bargaining and not withdraw all priv ileges now enjoyed.

Hopkins program- regardless of Its incorporation in the governor s message. Hopkins today stated that he had received endorsement of his bills from legislative members and was sure each of the three bills would be presented He refused, tho, to give names of the sponsors. One Republican member of the senate has written to me -that he will urge each of the three bills," said Hopkins.

AX WAYS A MAN AX slain man and cousin of Prevost. was expected to be re-arrested today. Mrs. Brown and Prevost were very friendly; authorities stated. Chief Straight stated Brown had discovered the relations between his wife and Prevost and had remon strated. "The last minute Brown was seen alive, just before 10 o'clock the night of hia death, he said he was going to meet Lloyd Prevost to ride to utica along the very road on which less than an hour later he was shot to- death in his automobile." Straight said. i At' 9:30 Prevost says he walked along. Gratiot avenue, the busiest t. et I Via frm.n i it wV,irh hn wfl K I born and in which he knows almost f every person, turned over tne river bridge and walked a block to the Edi son hotel.

Yet Prevost has been unable to pro duce one person among his friends In Mount Clemens who saw him walking along Gratiot avenue and over to his hotel. He walked three blocks appar ently at a busy time of the night and no one saw him. Nor is he able to produce any one who saw him enter the hotel -and go upstairs to his room.

Also Applies to Nations and Corporations, He Asserts. U.S, GOVERNMENT AUTOCRATIC This Despite "Spirit" of Democ racy, He Tells C. of C. All Production Dwindles With Scum of Radicalism Growing. Declaring that while we live In a democratic age we are under the most autocratic government in the world, the Rev. J. M. M. Gray, pastor of the Grand Avenue Methodist church of Kansas City, in 'a talk at noon today at the Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that the idealism of the world had been betrayed. The Rev Mr. Gray asserted that during the war and following, it had been found that the Ideals of labor had broken down. The present age has also seen the complete breakdown of political and moral ideals. Before the war, the Rev. Mr. Gray indicated, labor held the idea that a universal brotherhood of men com prising the laboring classes of all the nations of the warld was a power that would prevent war and conflict. The nations should exist, in a sort of Utopia. However, when the war did break and the armies of the nations went into the battlefields, made up largely of the laboring classes, it was not the nationale that they were singing. The Germans went in sing ing, "Deutschland Uber Alles;" the Frenchmen, the Marseillaise, and each of the armies of other countries singing songs dear to them as a na tion, not as representatives of the great body of labor. Ago Old "Balance" lost. He showed that in past ages the ones that held most of the property managed things so that others had something also and lived in content. Xow, he said, nations, states, corpora tions, on down to individuals, have developed a tendency to grab every thing possible. While every one wants still more money, production is slackening up with the consequent scum "of radical ideas developing. Altho perfectly capable of stating what he himself thought to be the so lution, he explained that a body of business men would not take tne ideas of a Dreacher as being practical. He therefore quoted an editorial from Life and one of the recent letters or .oo- ert Babson as making the two points he deemed most advisable; namely, re ligion and the increasing of pro duction, respectively. Rev. Mr. Gray declared that if the hearts of men were right they could set along under any system of govern ment, and added that Jf wrong, as they are now, no system would prove satis factory. Must Increase Production. It is also generally conceded that one of the main difficulties of .the present period is insufficient produc tion. This must come at once, the preacher declared, if conditions are to bo bettered. Pointing out that the business men of the world would be the greatest fac tors in aiding to push these two the ories of which might be termed the Boots of Prosperity, Reverend, uray closed an interesting talk. Rev. Mr. Gray was introduced by Rev. Edmund J. Kulp. wfiom he is visrting while in Topeka. Reverend Gray is pastor of the Grand Avenue Methodist church of Kansas City. Mo. SANTA FE NOTES.

Earl Brown, one of the proprietors of the Brunswick billiard hall, 814 Kansas avenue, today promised judge George H. Whitcomb that he would purchase his two children all the clotnes his former wife, Mrs. n;tnei TBrown, believed they needed. The promise follower a hot contest over an application by Mrs. Brown for an in crease of f 10 month for the support of the two children. Prior to the hearing Mrs. Brown was receiving $25 a month for the children. Mrs. Brown stated that her husband had purchased articles for the children at her repeated requests but told the court it was embarrassing to be obliged to go to the front of the billiard hall and call him out. Testimony showed that Brown took approximately $3,400 out of the busi ness in Wages in 1919 and that he re cently purchased a Buick automobile. She stated that it took $20 a month to feed the, children, leaving $5 for clothing. She supports herself -by working down town. Brown intro duced testimony showing that he had turned a house over to his wife and had paid off a $500 mortgage. W. E. Atchison, attorney for Brown, finally volunteered the proposition to furnish all clothes necessary and pay any doctor bills that may be contract ed In the future. All Mrs. Brown must do is to buy the clothes and have the statement sent to Brown. EBERTIS ANXIOUS Fears Internal Quarrels May Disrupt German Republic.

"Under i ressure of reck less force we have been compelled to conclude a peace threatening to the honor and welfare of our nation and which delivers the fruits of our work of past and future years at the mercy of foreigners. v "In the year that begins today we must decide whether we may hope that in spite of difficulties Germany will maintain herself as a nation avnd aevelop her economic life on a. sound basis, or whether, thru internal quar rels, she will definitely collapse, ruin ing even the hopes of her future, of ner generations. "AVlth these prospects of our fate before my eyes, I urge those who call themselves Germans, in view of the common danger to close their ranks In order, each according to hiscapacity to neip to tne utmost the restoration of the fateriand."

Mr. O Grady said his consultations since his return from Copenhagen, would aid materially in bringing about a settlement. He expressed it as his opinion- that Russia wouid save herself if left alone. "She is now like a child groping in the dark but she is growing up," he declared. t "Ninety per cent of Russia's popu lation is illiterate," continued Mr. O'Grady. "The other ten per cent is purely predatory. They are Asiatic people, and are at least a thousand years be hind our civilization; We must give them time and help them. Kussia will regenerate herself ty her own resources. I believe she will become the America of another new world. The soviet government today is far more humanitarian, far saner and far more statesmanlike than the soviet government of. a year ago. "Atrocities, of course. are being committed by these Asiatics but I know that when the perpetrators are adjudged guilty they are exterm inated." Mr. O'Grady strongly opposed armed intervention in Russia. PANKEY BACK TO CSTY Former Topc-kan Now Ranchman and Lieutenant Govcrnoi, of New Mexico B. F.

C. Christopher Co.) Chicago, 111., Jan. 2.-Tlie Tribune: GRAIN: The future action of the corn market Is regarded s largely a question of receipts. It was said that the local trade evened up at the last. Country houses sold December corn at the close with shorts the main buyers. The 215.000 bushels of corn delivered after the close was part of the same grain out the pre vious dnr. The nremlum of over 5 rani. for December over January at the last was not an encouraging situation for those not baring a place for it. The big problem that stands ont as the strongest factor is that of transportation, both in this coun try. In Europe and on the ocean. The rail roads in the United States are unable to furnish sufficient equipment to move the grain, especially corn, and the car supplv nnd the disposition of the farmer to sell is regarded as the most important factor in the line. To have the most emphatic bull bouse on oats caught short December oats waB one of the festures of the trade Wednesday. ,Thev hsve been Isrgest buyers for some time and Wednesday had nn order to buy at the last. Cash bouses who were long took advantare of the ad vance and secured profits. Trading In all was large. Seaboard exportera were after rve, and the northwest sold 450.000 bushels, hedges being removed at Chicago. This made a ffiir advance early, but longs sold in svmpattiy with the easier tone In corn. iraln receipts at Cbleago for the year were 147,600 cars or 87,715 cars less than 1918.

4 THE TOPEKA DAF Y STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1920. n i I if EAST IS GLEEFUL Harvard's Victory Over Oregon 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From tn columns o THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL 7 to 6, Hailed by Friends. January x, 1893. There was a crowd la and about Salvation Army ball oa East Seventh street at uoon "'hedinner, gotten up thro the sugges gestron and efforts of Captain Dodils and bis wife, was spread on two long tab:es ia a.vacant store room next the hail. It was estimated that at least six hundred poor people woulJ be fed nud ticket were issued by the army where they thought they were needed. Sergeant MhJ Foster, who used to be chef at tbe National hotel, was the cook. Among the chaperons at the Oxford club party Monday evening were Mr. and Mrs. A K. Kodgers and Mr. and Mrs. George I'enfitld. After the ball was over the young gentlemen enjoyed an informal banquet at the Cremerie. complimentary to Mr. John Lnfesty of Chicago. Mr. James Clay was master of ceremonies and Mr. Archie Wil liams was toastmaster. Six bright joong men, calling on their friends who held "open house" yesterday, welcomed the occasion to enricarure the stvle of parting the name in the middle and left cards with six little brownies on them snrt their names under them: W. Putnam Grlswold. K. Malcolm Wtarry. E. Barton Kellam, G Staul"y Medlleott, C. Woodbury Nellis and E. Alfred Meillicott. H.S. TITLE UNDECIDED Toledo and Everett, Oregon, Football Teams Play 7 to 7 Tie. Everett, Wash.. Jan. 2. Tbe na tional high school football champion ship was still undecided today. Ever ett high and Scott high of Toledo, O.. played a 1 to 7 tie here yesterday. The westerners Bcored a touch down in the first period and kicked goal. Toledo tied the score in the second period. Neither team was able to score in the last half. Harvard Had to Use All Its Bag of Tricks Thursday. BOTH LINES WERE MEDIOCRE Two Harvard Substitutes Won Glory In Fasadena Game. Tight Playing by Oregon Shows West Knows Game. New York, Jan. 2. All the east was chirping gleefully in chorus today. Perhaps no Christmas present put the fans in such a good mood as Har vard's 7 to 6 victory over Oregon. In its victory Harvard lost its iden tity as a Harvard unit. Captain Billy Murray's squad is regarded generally as an eastern team and its triumph Is considered a restoration of prestige that was lost when Pacific coast teams beat Penn and Brown. (The Crimson squad will return to the east with a fixed impression that they know how to play football in the west. TThe scant victory that the Cam bridge team was able to score tells Just as well as an analysis of the game that Hugo Bezdek. Oregon's for mer coach, was right when he said Harvard would have to use everything It had to win. Just as in the Princeton and Tale games the widely known Mr. Casey on the receiving end of forwmrd passes paved the way for the lone touchdown of the game. Two Subs Won Glory. The battle also gave two substitutes a chance to rise to lasting fame. Kmulatlng the example of Frank Murrey and Jim Scheerer. famed pair of second string glories, Freddie Church and Manerud won for them selves seats among the noted. Church smashed thru tackle for 15 yards In the second period and scored the one and only touchdown. In the third period. Manerud, taking the place of Bill Steers, kicked a field goal for Oregon that put them within an inch of the mark. Eoth Casey and Steers who were counted upon for spectacular work failed to get the spotlight for feature i work. Both fumbled frequently. Steers hadn't much of a chance, how ever, as he was forced to retire early In the game with injuries and Skeeter Manerud, the 125 pound youngster, took his place. Iioth Lines Mediocre. r.oth lines played mediocre ball. P.alph Hodween and Steers both had kicks blocked when the forwards broke thru. Oregon's line vindicated itself in the final minutes of play, however, by holding Harvard for downs on the one yard line. Of course, the east is entitled to be Joyous over the victory. But in the nvrtst of it there bobs up a memory of several weeks back when Harvard fir'-t accepted the ball. "Harvard can go out and play as a Harvard team, but it can't carry the colors of the east because it 1s not the bet in the east," the skeptics said How See that vho feared that history might repeat 1L--T. T vt since Harvard won the fans are all -erfectly willing to have the west ern-rs consider that they were beaten by THE east. Patterson Wins in Fourth. Cinc'nnati. O., Jan. 2.

Abilene, Jan. 2. Business condi tions in central Kansas at the begin ning of the y ear are reported by the bankers as exceptionally favorable. While a considerable portion of the wheat is yet in the hands of farmers and elevators, the farming interests are prosperous and the business of the towns for the past three weeks has been remarkable for its volume and prompt settlement. 'If the railroads would move the wheat, we should have easy money for the next three months," said G. A. Rogers, president of the Abilene Na tional bank. "It takes twice the time to move freight it formerly did, mean ing that the money involved is that much longer carried by banks or the customers, and it puts a burden on all business. What Kansas needs is what Governor Allen has been working for more cars for the movement of grain." OUT OF DEBT NOW Bethany College Drive for $125,000 Ends Successfully. Lindsborg, Jan. 2. BeSthany college completed a drive yesterday of $125.- 000 for the payment of indebtedness and additional endowment. The cam paign was inaugurated last May in re sponse to a challenge of the LAndsborg community that it would raise $50,000 if the constituency of the institution raised $75,000. The terms of the sub scription required that entire amount should be paid by January 1 and in the event of failure money to be re turned to them. The last week ex citement has been running high in an ticipation of result. Bethany college has a church, constituency, of about 12,000 people. to Keep Baby Smiling and Well the daily functions are regular and normal YOU can't expect the little ones to be Happy and playful when the head (eels dull and the stomach bloated.

Ihirlng the war the "Peerless" reputation for honesty, integrity and reliability went up immeasurably. When, under the guise of "keeping prices down," other man ufacturers were using a grade or so inferior materials, when they skimped sizes from one to sixinches, when they used cheaper lacrs, lengthened the stitches and half sewed on "second" buttons, the "Peerless" went steadily ahead making garments as they always had of the same fine materials as always, full sizes in all garments, the very best trimmings, the same close, fine stitching and securely sewed on, strictly first quality but tons! When the "Peerless" came to a place where they could not continue the making of any certain garment as they always had, they simply dropped it and went ahead with something else such are the "Peerless" Undermus lins.

Washing ton, l. C. The Washington Post prints a story that Illustrates the extravagance of government operation of the railroads. 'How would you like to turn off a railroad switch- for the government on your way to your regular work? The time consumed is about one second and the pay is good." runs the story. In discussion, of the railroad bill it developed that the man who does this gets 300 a month. When he worked for the railway company he bushed at accepting $2t a month, as he had to pass the switch anyway on his way to his regular employment. But under government rules any man, who touches a government switch" is an electrician and must get the regulation pay. Incidentally, he got 12,500 back pay lor Tiis past services. It is little items like this that make railroad em ployes so anxious for the' government to retain control-cf the roads and since we are all selfish who can blame thorn? But if the rest of the people permit it they have none to blame but themselves. They know who must pay. The frequency with which bank rob beries take place leads to a suspicion that all the former barkeepers have furried bandits and burglars. Attorney General Palmer says he did not yield to the striking; miners. Then who did? The; miners seem to be pretty well satisfied" with the situ ation. D'Annunzlo has called, for a third plebeseite at Fiume. He seems deter mined to keep her citizens voting un til they vote his way. Colonel Bryan might acquire valuable pointers from the Italian poet. Forceful, indeed, says the Denver Times, was one of the exhibits' cf the State Agricultural college at the re cent Montana state fair. It consisted of a neat little country cemetery in miniature, a plot much like other little country cemeteries, yet there was something queer about it. The arched gateway and customary weeping wil lows were there, the clipped hedge and the tombstones ah !the tomb stones. It was in these that the queer nea was revealed. They were truth ful tombstones, continues the Times shockingly truth. Instead of such platitudes as "Top pure for earth" there were such epitaphs as these: "Mother walked to death In her kitchen," "Sacred to the memory of jane she scrubbed herself Into eter nity."' "Grandma washed herself away." "Susie swept out of life with too heavy a broom." The paragrapher on the Minneapo lis Journal ha found a point of sim ilarity between Colonel House- and Hiram Johnson. He calls attention to the fact that the colonel never says anything; and neither does Hiram, al tko the latter talks all the time. Labor unions in Japan have devel oped a new kind of strike. It is called the "slow down." It was tried out re cently by workers In a ship yard. The men did not leave their Jobs, but only worked to a 25 per cent efficiency. The company finally granted an- eight hour day, a minimum wage of 75 cents and maximum pay for skilled workers of 1 3.50 a day. The anti-strike clause of the Cum mine railroad bill, which the brother hoods ar? opposing so vigorously, pre sents a simple and clearly defined t question -whether the, public interest in transportation shall be protected or shall be constantly menaced by the possibility of interruption of service. .'It may be admitted, as claimed by la fbor union spokesmen, that there is slight danger of a general railroad tie-up for any considerable period of time. That there will hot be such a suspension of railroad operation can not be asserted by the labor-unions, however, in view of the definite threat made In 1016 that a general strike would be called at a certain hour on a specified day unless the de mands of the employes should be met. The four brotherhoods demonstrated that a rat. tie-up is a grave possibility from which .the nation may suffer in loss of comfort, convenience, property and life. PRICE FIXIN G. The effort to force down prices In Topeka seems to have failed just as very similar effort has failed, all' over the United States, regardless of wheth er it has been made by local fair price committees or by the regular state and federal officials. If therefore the price mountain will not come to the consuming Mahomet, there seems to be nothing for Mahomet to do but to go to the mountain. That commodity prices have not reached their highest point is the view taken by Francis H. Sisson, vice presi dent of the Guaranty Trust company of New York. A few facts which are before the country are interesting, for they are typical of the steady advance in the price of foodstuffs. In East Tennessee, one of the greatest egg cen ters of the country, 85 cents a dozen was being paid in December by the wholesale buyers. Louisiana sugar was sellitig to the retail buyers at from 20 to 22 cents a pound, according to the freight rate, and in some places the figures were even higher. The price on Cuban sugar to the planters is al most double what It was last year, and this of necessity must be reflected In very muchhlgher retail prices for ti o coming crop. Cotton is much higher than it waa when President Wilson made his prediction to the railroad brotherhoods, that prices would decline in ninety days, and will doubtless continue to advance,, based on absolutely sound economic condi tions of cost and of the profit that is being made on the production of goods by American and European mills alike. There is no possible chance under present conditions for-a decrease In the price of coal, but On the contrary it is more than likely that the country will be compelled to pay still higher prices. These facts have been so pat ent to every man who honestly sought to study the situation that it is sur prising; that in congress and in admin istration circles, and especially by At torney General -Palmer, statements have been put forth that prices would inevitably be forced down. Mr. Sisson, a great financial author ity, who takes a world view of such questions, wholly uninfluenced by po-, litical issues, on the other hand, states that commodities have not reached their peak, and that his conclusion is based on many facts, foremost of which is the worlds scarcity of goods. "Tears will pass," said Mr. Sisson in a recent address, "before world pro duction can again become normal." And he cited two illustrations to show the widespread want. "Europe," said he, "has only 55 per cent of Its food requirements. It needs more than 4,500,000,000 bushels of grain, for in stance, and -there is available in -all' the world- only about 1,000,000.000 bushels to meet this condition. Eu rope's shortage of coal is in excess of 200,000,000 tons, and that means, of course, greatly decreased production as well as Intense suffering. Europe must have the necessities, and conse quently, as the law of supply and de mand is ever operative, despite legis lative enactments and bureaucratic decrees designed to supersede such fundamental economic laws, there is seemingly little prospect of materially i educed prices, at least for the imme diate future." Recent testimony before the house committee investigating war depart ment expenditures brought out the fact that 135,000,000 worth of auto tires were permitted to rot In France. Motorcycles to the number of 2,800, which had been put in perfect condi tion, were permitted to disintegrate into Junk. Automobiles and trucks by the thousands were thrown into piles along the railroad tracks "until the Junk piles covered acres." But all this might be forgiven If the government will but stop its wasteful extravagance now. Nobody appears to be exerting himself to stop the treasury leaks. If Colonel Bryan make another try for the presidency he may be able to capture the New Jersey delegation but he can hardly hope for that of Mis souri, which state probably still Is true to Champ Clark. President Wil son owes his present position to Bryan and gratitude demands that he should give- the Nebraskan a boost. During the past quarter of a century, when ever Bryan has not himself received the Democrat nomination, he has wielded an enormous influence in the convention. Ha was not able to pre vent the nomination of Parker but be won the platform and In that way in sured the defeat of the candidate at the polls. His ptrty will do well to keep an eye on Us Warwick. The custom adopted by American manufacturers while operating under the shelter of a high, protective tariff of selling their wares abroad at prices below those charged at home cannot be resumed In England, If a bill now before parliament be passed. The measure la designed te prevent Just that sort of thing. The American con sumer may thus obtain justice from an unexpected quarter. It la suggested by Forbes Maga zine that the man who is not flred.by enthusiasm stands to be fired by the boss. International Sunday School Lesson BY WILLIAM T. EM-IS. For January i is, "Peter Preaches at Pentecost." Acts 2:14, 22:24. 32:42. An Old Message for the New Year. Religiously, there is something new on the horizon for Nineteen Twenty. Practically all of the denominations of the United States and Canada have united in a concerted enterprise, more comprehensive and radical than any thing they have heretofore, under taken, called the Interchurch World Movement. It enters the new year with an audacious program, a huge organization and practically unlimited money. All Christians should wish it well; some even dare hope that it may be the solution for the present prob lem of social crisis and religious -decadence. At the beginning of a momentous year, as we take up a course of, Sun day school studies that face the fun damentals of faith, it is well to deal frankly with ourselves and with con ditions. Let us admit freely the temptation to do spiritual work by material methods. Ana, -to prevent later disillusionment, let us. also, in perfect candor remind ourselves that the church is not going to meet suc cessfully the present emergency in the world by means of money or machin ery or methods of modernity. The church, may take on all the business resourcefulness of the Stand ard Oil company; all the publicity de vices of the circus; 'all the many-sided adaptability of a political party; and all the propaganda ingenuity of the German government, and still leave her great-task fairly untouched. Scien tific efficiency on the part of the church is not enough to save pur dis traught times. However useful a sub ordinate place all these modern appli ances may fill, the truth needs to be driven straight home that they are merely incidental. Nothing that worldly wisdom can devise is able to deliver our enmeshed and Imperilled world. Back To Peter's Way. A message proclaimed is more "po tent than organizations constituted or institutions erected. One Fisherman, afire with the eloquence of the- eye witness, proved mightier than the Ro man senate and than Caesar and his legions. We cannot improve upon Peter at Pentecost. The first and last obligation of Christianity to the world is a Word of witness. Preaching, ac cording to apostolic specifications, is going to save humanity. The Good News is the only hope of bad times. ''Accept no substitutes." A motion picture can never supplant the mes sage of a man who has had personal traffic with God. An Open Forum is a poor makeshift for an Open Book; it may draw the crowds, but it is like lier -to make Bolsheviks than-Christians. The Peter fashion at Pentecost set the gait that the church meant to follow; she has strayed from it only at her own peril and at mankind's loss. As a layman, and as a proponent of Christian publicity, and as a forward looking progressive, I nevertheless de clare it as a deep conviction, born of experience, observation and study of the New Testament, that the world's great need today is for more God aflame preachers of the gospel of a Crucified and Risen Christ. Lack of these is the worst weakness of the church. Prophets in Peter's mould, men with a clear, unmistakable message about God and the way out for the world men who search the hearts of their fellows, and set them to crying in contrition these are more to be desired today than any new movements or organizations or campaigns. The many-tongued world will witness new Pentecosts, which will cleanse aB by fire the corruptions of our time, only when it hears the witnesses to the power jof the Re deemer. In a Polyglot World Within five years we have moved into a new great world, embracing all races and countless- strange tongues. We know ourselves cosmop olites, and responsible for the set tling of questions undreamed of a short time ago. At no previous study of the Pentecost story have we so clearly understood the reality of the catalogue of nationalities who heard Peter's sermon; he might almost have been preaching at the Paris peace conference, or on the East Side of New Tork. As we think of it all now, we understand anew that its mean ing must apply not only to Luke's list, ranging from Parthlans to Arabians, but also to vast groups of mankind unknown in Peter's time.- The Mes sage of Pentecost today has a wider scope than the New Testament world. One of our modern poets, JRichard Burton, Iras voiced the universality of the call of Christ: "It is said the Bedouins cry, on the Syrian bills, a clear Loud summons to war. and the tribes far distant hearken nnd hear. So wondrous rare is the air, so crystal tbe atmosphere. Their call Is to arms bnt One, In the cen turies long ntro. Spake there for Peace, In tones that were marvellous sweet and low. And the ages they hear Him yet, and His voice do tbe nations know." As Pentecost pictured, the Word Is to all the world. Since the armistice, many American have sunk into a new sense of selfish provincialism and isolation. They are a sort of western Sinn Feiners, for "thjemselves alone." But it cannot be done.- Even -if -the commingled blood shed in France did not cement us indissolubly to the whole world, the blood shed on Cal vary would do so. We cannot accept the ties o Christ without being tied to all his other friends. The Medes and Mesopotamlans (at present, afresh, peoples in a crisis) have the same need for the Pentecost tidings as the Canadians and Americans. A Great .Sermon. t Better than a theological seminary was it for Peter, the fisherman, to have been keeping company- with Jesus, the carpenter. There are signs that the churches are revising their sense of values in training for the ministry; many .an anointed young man is removed far from his fellows, and emasculated and devitalized, by modern theological curricula. Reek ing with reality, himself a pardoned penitent. Peter stood up amid a mixed and critical congregation and poured hot from his heart his deepest convic tions, which were the life-transforming Gospel of Christ. Here are the portions of his sermon assigned for to day's study, as translated by Wey mouth; "Peter, however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. 'Men qf Judaea, and all you In habitants of Jerusalem,' he said, 'be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say.' 'Listen, Israelites, -to what I say. Jesua, the Nasarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and mar vels and signs which Gqd did among you thru Him. as you yourselves know Him delivered up, thru God's settled purpose and foreknowledge you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death. But God has raised Him to life, having termi nated the throes of death, for in fact it waa not possible Him to be held fast by death.' This Jesus, God has raised to life 7a fact to which all of us testify. 'Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from Hhe Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.l-. 'Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST this Jesus-Jjvhom you cruuei fied.' "Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: 'Brethren, what are we to do?' 'Repent,' replied Peter, 'and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift--of the Holy Spirit. For to you belongs the prom ise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call.' "And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying: 'Escape from th,ls crooked genera tion." "Those, therefore, who joyfully wel comed his Message were baptized: and on that one day about three thou sand persons were added to them; and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles, and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer." Telling the Best We Know. Books by the hundreds have been written about Peter's model sermon. It was largely a telling of what he knew a testimony to reality. Also it was steeped in Scripture. It had far driving power the twin engines, con sciousness of the Christ and conscious ness of the crowd.- Filled and thrilled by this sense of remedy and need, Peter preached straight at his hear ers, with the aim of changing their life allegiance, No beautiful essayist he: he was after votes for his Master. He did net hesitate to call his hearers murderers; nor did he tone down the great 8pirituaL integrities and sub limities of his sermon. He talked to his times, assuredly; but concerning tbe eternal verities. .Four truths concerning Christ the four pillars upon which the church stands were strongly pub by Peter. One was the ,messiahship of Jesus. The other was his crucifixion and death. The third was his resurrec tion. The fourth was the kngship of Christ: his right to rule. That day, with its three thousand converts, began a 'new social unit in the world, a fellowship which has in creased to this day and is still in creasing. Some of the persons present were hunted Jntot wildernesses and caves by the Roman government; but their cause overturned and outlived Today that cause and its Christ arelto slacken for a truck or the sudden the one sure hope of our perplexed and suffering world.

BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. v Helen Moore had broken 4he speed limits, successfully, on her way out to her father's country home at Great Neck. Her little -roadster had eaten up the miles as if famishing until tney were, all consumed. Helen had invited a larsre number of friends em the spur of the m6ment;freti or to give way to my jealousy for a-week-end party .and there was the thought of her, her spoiled life, scant time to provision the closed would steady me. Then too as Junior home before the first guest should ar- grew older I was occupied most of the rive. They would all motor out from time. My husband's social position the olty and would get a mighty cold demanded that we entertain a good reception unless she hurried a bit. Arriving at Great Neck Helen drew up at the butcher's, had her purchases put as usual In her car, and then went on to the grocery shop to make another order. Her little roadster swung against t.h'iCUrD fCW yardS bjfy0ndi the r; A delivery wagon was directly in front so Helen took the next best position. Inside the shop she made her large order. "Just put them in the car," she told the grocery boy. "The roadster?" questioned the boy as, laden with the huge box, he obeyed orders. A nod and a smile answered him, and Helen then turned to write a check in payment. It was a scant five minutes before she emerged ready for the final spin that would lead her, well stocked with food -or the inner man, up the big driveway to her country home. Helen sent- a swift glance into tha car to-make sure her big box was safe ly there. v There was no box! And the boy had returned empty handed to the store before she had finished making out her check. She hastened back to demand of the grocer the whereabouts of hef order. "I put it in the roadster." said the boy, and accompanied Helen to the door. There his heart gave a nasty turn. There must have been two sim ilar cars by the curb and he had placed the groceries in the wrong car. Helen grasped facts immediately, and scanned the main street for the other roadster. If it were in sight it would be quicker to follow and get her box rather than wait until a du plicate order was made up. "That's probably the car turning the bend," she decided, and swiftly jumped into her seat. Being In a tre mendous Ijurry, and trying- to follow the direction of that fast disappearing car, Helen did, all the wrong things. She flung into reverse gear, stalled her engine, almost banged head-on into the one trolley in sight, and finally got away. She sped after the receding car as if she longed to kill every inhabitant of Great Neck. It seemed often as if fortune were favoring that other car, for when Helen seemed about to spring alongside it she invariably had aDoearance of a child in the roadway. Wrath was gathering in her eyes and her cheeks were scarlet with ex citement. Had she not- been the daughter of t well-known townsman Helen undoubtedly would have screamed at the occupant of hat twin roadster to stop and give her her gro ceries. Time was getting shorter, and she realized that her guests would be coolinft- impatient heels on her mas sive stone doorstep. The man, for it was a man in gray iwee-d cap pulled well over his eyes, was oblivious to the fact that he was being angrily followed. But suddenly he turned off a-Iorig bit, of clear road, and in another -second- it would have seemed as if the Vanderbilt cup race was on, for the two cars careened along that highway as If in hot pursuit of a whirlwind. It was then that the man knew he was being watched, but merely as the occupant of one speedy car trying to pass the other. They went hood to hood until about the finish of' clear road. It was then that the tweed cap driver saw that his opponent was a girl. He had not made the obserTation before, be ing well content with trying the full capacity of his engine's power. 1 Now, with true" gentlemanly tact he let off gas, slowed almost impercepti bly and let the girl drive well past him. He fell to wondering then if he had been racing with a mad wo man, for she was turning straight in the roadway so that a collision f was only averted by swift, intelligent use of brake and steering. The sudden stop flung Davis with a bang against his wheel. It was then that he heartily gave vent to an ex pression not flattering to women drivers. "You have my groceries!" the angry sentence flashed from one car to the other.

Rose Kemp's very real 'troubles made -nay Imaginary ones disappear i for a time. When I was templed to deal, and of course we were enter tained as well. Now he left all the details to me, instead of attending to them himself, with Mrs. Gray's assist ance. "You have developed into a won derful hostess, Sandra," he said after !a '"SO dinner we" gave. Everything naa gone off smoothly, and I too. was rather proud of my success. "I am delighted if you were pleasetl," I said quietly. Little he knew how I longed for something more than is calm praise which he might have given to anyone who had pleased him. "You can be delighted, then, for I was very psfased. Even Leveridge, your bete noir. complimented you. Said you were 'great.'" "I am -much obliged to Mr. Lever idge. Considering that he knows so much- about such things, it was quite a compliment." "We both laughed at my sarcasm, and nothing more was said.- But long after Everett had left for the office, I stood at the window, where I had. waved goodbye to him, and wished he would Just once forget to praise so calmly; and love me as he had Leola. "He never will. He'll never say those things to me," I murmured as I turned away, that note I had found so long ago still vividly in my mind. Irma Barton waa back. We had given her a dinner, and she had re turned the compliment. She seemed very happy, and looked ten years youngei: so Everett said. We made up a little bridge club, playing once a week, just us four. As I grew to. know Irma, I saw how I had wronged her in supposing she would be guilty of attempting to take Ever ett from me. She waa "the soul of honor. She never quibbled even when society women in general would per haps have done so. And she was charming to me. demanded Dayis, as if Helen were re sponsible for their loss. "I have 1 gang waiting at the house now for 100a." "X suppose yours are back in the shop," Helen suggested. "If you don't mind I would like that box my guests will have gone back to town if I don't get home soon." "That lets me out of getting over to Smallwoods to arrange for the musi cians I wanted' for tomorrow night." Davis was a bit peevish himself now, and Helen'a tone became wonderfully soft. "I'm so sorry," she said, "but I have already engaged those musicians for my dance tomorrow night." She was watching Davis now as he removed the box of groceries from one road ster to the other, and as she watched him her interest grew. He was the type of man that any womanly girl would like, and -like very much. V "Those coons'. And they are the best on Long Island. It was because of them I got my bunch out here," lamented Davis. "Those men could make a motor ear dance. Well you got "them first." He was standing close to Helen now after having de posited the box safely in its rightful! place. "I am sorry you had to chase your groceries, but I was really was not to blame was He waited his answer, and Helen knew he would wait until he got it. He was that type of man. "Not in the least," she quickly told htm and did not regret the color ttyat crept into her cheeks. It told him o plainly that she rather liked him. Then impetuously she added, "I won der if it would be awfully unconven tional if I were to ask all your house party over tomorrow night to join our dance? It is really a pity not to all enjoy those musicians. isn't it?" Davis smiled swiftly and with un mistakable Joy. "By Jove! That's great of you." Then quickly and with direct meaning he added, "And does that mean that my party can dance with your party and "In other words," laughed Helen, "you mean will I dance with you isn't that it?" "I would say it was,", admitted Davis frankly. And as Helen started the motor of the little red roadster thai was twin to that other one, "I am so glad the grocery boy .made a mistake." And then began that other race the one on the road to love, (Copyright, MM. by the MeClure News- peper. t.vniucfltr.1 THE NEW TEAR. Out of the kindly hand of Time another year we come to take.

"You have made Everett over," she said once. "I rather thought you would. He Is very much more enter taining than he used to be. A young wife waa the best thing In the world for him.

You musn't mention It to him;: he is awfully sensitive over it," I told her, "and claims he did it for my sake so people would not think him my grandfather." She laughed heartily, then said: "I'll not tell! I promise I won't. But, Sandra, he must be very much in love with you; very anxious to keep your affection, for him to do a thing like that -it is so foreign to him. I think you should feel flat tered." "He doesn't seem old to me now," I recalled the day so long ago when I had talked with Irma of Leola, and how I had wished I were older, more like hert- Now she didnt seem so much older, or else it was be cause 1 had lost some of my own childishness. 1 "No, he wouldn't!

"I would rather he loved me more and was less proud," trembled on my tongue, but I caught myself in time, and said nothing about the longing I still had to KNOW, of myself, that m husband loved me as he was capable of loving as he had loved my prede cessor. "He has tried hard enough to make something out of me," I replied wi'h a laugh. "It would be too bad If he hadn't accomplished something." "Do not undervalue yourself.

S- who stabs the column with the deadly parallels In a" note J. W. 8. incloses a paragraph from the Boston Transcript, printed so long ago as December 2, in which Harold Bell Wright is charged, or credited, with havtnr. written- 'Young Visiters." We do not see the Trans cript regularly and missed that partic ular paragraph, but we are pleased to, know the idea is attaining something like a general -circulation. Bpt upon the point that Mr. Wright is a great humorist, we must continue to claim priority of idea. So long ago as 190S or 1S04 we wrote a review of "That Printer of Udell's," in which we crowned Mr. Wright king of the laugh makers for the bituminous or soft-coal districts of Missouri, Kansas' and Ar kansas. "Billie Burke." we quote the esteem-, ed New York Sun, "will rive a spe cial matinee tomorrow." What, we desire to ask, what for? Maurice M-eterlinck. wa learn from sn editorial coadjutor, shortly is to lecture at Bryn Mawr. The period of renunciation is approaching. -We trust our failure to arrive before the hour appointed for the lecture will not be considt. d a reason for delaying it. One should give up something, and we have the habit of relinquishing the things for which we care the least. Meanwhile, there no longer is reason to lift the languid lid or vouchsafe the satirical remark concerning the horno rarium of the bricklayer. M. Maeter linck gets $3,000 a throw. And we remark, aa we throw the clutch into "high" and adjust another sheet of "opy" paper In the antique Remington, if the preceding allusions to Maeterlick do not arouse the Phila delphia cognoscenti to a state of .in dignant fury, we shall have to try some other plan. But we fancy we have this time stirred it. The Philadelphia cognoscenti la however slow to anger. We took a. poke at Ibsen once and it never moved a muscle. The middle West is lees placid. Upon a time we expressed to a middle western community the opin ion mat james nacKett is no Ed win Booth. They chased us with a braided rope. They welcomed Gen. John J. Persh ing in Laclede, Mo. Otherwise, vou pr6bably never would have heard of Laclede, Mo. The reporter who wrote the story seems to have regarded the outstand ing circumstance of the general's homecoming as a minor incident He made only brief reference to the fact that General Pershing shook hands with an aged colored man. That sort of thing simply isn't done in Missouri, and Missouri opinion may be relied upon to condemn it. i General Pershing, we note in pass ing to,more arduous matters of com ment, has again distinguished him self. He has said he isn't a candidate for president- There are a number of others In the general's situation, but they lack both his perspicuity and his frankness. It seems worth noting that New York "yeggs" who looted -the hotel suite, of a Texas oil "millionaire" got 7,000. Taking them as they come, oil "millionaires" yield an average of not more than 40 apiece. The tendency is 'to exaggerate. News events are always magnified by the reporters who write them. Hail a modern-day reporter been assigned to "cover the story o the flood he would have written a report Indicating that the ark had foundered and gone down with everybody on board. In a later edition of the paper in interesting account of the rescue of Noah and the dove would have appeared.

But, as a matter of fact It Is the second industry both Jn po'lnt of the number of persons employed and the total hours of labor devoted to it. The chief industry in this country is hurling a hypothetical harpoon at a purely speoulaUve target. The rule Is that the father pays for the bride's trousseau and for having her teeth fixed. After he has done that the husband Is supposed to look out for all of her material wants, al tho he occasionally neglect to do o.

The season has "oegun for clothes that are intended for warm and beneficent climates. The winter season as far as buying 'apparel is concerned, appears to be over. The smart and 'fashionab e women look forward to their many journeyings to and fro, the average woman wears what she possesses for cold weather, and the dressmakers turn their thoughts to all those bril liant garments that serve for the white beaches of Florida, the roses of California, the sharp pines of Augusta and Pinehurst, and the languor of Cu ba. In and out of these new gowns there flits the color called orange. It is a bright yellow, in excellent imita'- tion of the fruit. Combined With Other Color. Strange to say. it is becoming to a majority of women. It can be toned down by light yellow tulle, by white, even pale gray or blue, if one needs another color near the face. The brilliancy of the yellow tone in mass is the effective thine, however. and this is what the dressmakers like. Orange loes not call for any other color. It is complete in itself for drapery and ornamentation. There are women who prefer to put a tur quoise ornament against an orange satin gown, rather than one of topaz, but the artistic designers cling to the topaz- and use it set in brilliant ways to- give an Oriental air. New York tried out orang-colored gowns about four years ago, but they were not taken up wlth-any degree of enthusiasm. Today she delights in them. They were worn at the opera in New York, at many of the large social functions, and especially at res taurant dinners with an evening at the play afterward. New Tork Money Market. New York, Jan. 2.

The bodice is of tulle and the satin girdle has a' large topaa ornament dangling in front. Orange is a change from all the colors we have indulged in for winter evening gowns thruout the last four years. It lights up at night and gives a woman who wears it the appearance of being splendidly dressed, altho she may not have paid more for. her orange trocK than Tor one or aarK blue. It is a compromise between white and somber colors, altho white has reached a high pinnacle of fash ion and women, young and old. find it more attractive than they realised. It was taboo for a long time. A woman of fashion would hav been as tonished at the suggestion that she should wear a white satin gown to a dinner party. .Now, if she is a dow ager, this color is the first she has In mind when choosing a gown. The French women are wearing white to all kinds of gayeties after seven o'clock, but they make it distinguished by adding short sleeves of black tulle and brilliant cut jet ornaments, black satin slippers with jet buckles, white silk stockings, and a bit of jet in the hair. Orange Tulle Is Brilliant. The new gowns made for the pleas ure resorts, which are in orange color, are mostly tulle. There Is an orange satin and an orange velvet, both of which make distinguished costumes, but the tulle gives an evanescent air to the deep orange color and makes it more buoyant. .One of the evening gowns made for Palm Beach Is shown in the sketch. The skirt Is of orange satin covered with two very full flounces of orange tulle. The lower one just touches the top of a deep orange tulle hem thru $hlch show orange colored stockings. By the way. it is not fashionable to carry the satin down to the edge of the hem for the extra short skirt is simulated by a hem of double chiffon or tulles The bodice of this frock is a fold of tulle over each shoulder, with several thicknesses of tulle above the waistline.

Call Black 2141 or 1S5. furniture down to the children. There is Just at present a vogue for this sort of children's furniture and in the best furnished nurseries and playrooms there are many interesting pieces of miniature grown-up furniture. You can find these things in the shops at no very great orice. Perhaps they are a conscious or unconscious out growth of the Montessori idea that children should be trained to muscular adeptness by having utensils and ap paratus of a suitable size to work with. It is surely easier for the child to be graceful when he sits down in a chair graded to his size and it is easier for him' to write on a table of a proper height than when he is perched up on books before his mother's writing desk. In some of the shops liaavy chalrs and tables In small sizes are sold in a very good quality of brown stained wood. Some of the chairs have legends painted on the back, such as: "Even little legs grow tired," and "A chair for .a good little girl." There are likewise chairs without the painted lettering. Wickar furniture is also made in sizes for small children. There are ta bles and chairs in natural or enam eled wicker. And then there are small bureaus and chests of drawers. It is realty much easier to train a child to put his things away if he has a small bureau to put them in not a big doll's bureau, but one relatively as big to him as ours are to us than it is if he must struggle .with bureaus that are bigger titan he is. These bureaus and chests of drawers are enameled in various attractive colors.' To come back. to the other type of furniture, some of 'the new high chairs are painted, in green and red.

(Andy) Richards, for many years a wU known character in Kansas poli tics, is dead at his home in Tampa, Fla. The body will be brought to Wellington for burial. Richards was a prominent worker In the Chester X. Iong organizations in the days when long and "Sockless" Jerry Simpson staged their big con gressional fights in the old Seventh district. When Long succeeded to the United States senate,. Richards was among the workers who directed the campaign for the senatorial election before the state senate. During a por tion of Long's term in Washington. Richards held a position in the in terior department. When Richards retired from public pervice In Washington, he went to Muskogee.j Okla., where he made a fortune in oil speculation. In the years hat Richards lived in Welling ton, he published a Republican news paper which was a strong factor in the political affairs of the district. It was in an effort to break up Democrat-Populist fusion that Rich ards wrote the Australian ballot law and secured the enactment which pre vented a candidate's name appearing under more than one political designa tion. The enactment aided in return of the Republicans to control in the state in the late 90s.

H. Kemper, Price Chairman. In a highly sarcastic letter to" W. H. Kemper, chairman of the county fair price committee. R. U. Stover. 307 Quintnn boulevard, suggests that Kem per, W. O. Anderson, A. L, Oliger and some other persons "of that stripe" organize a quartette and sing, "There's one born every minute." Stover takes a stand different from that of previous "letter writers." ami assails the prices fixed by the commit tee not as inflicting a great hardship on the grocer but so "ludicrously high as to be an actual boom, so he says, to the merchants. He cites vari ous articles to support his contention. "I note you state that the retail merchants do not make the prices and are not responsible for their being so high," said Stover- in his letter. "That statement is so ainine that it needs no comment." Then he goes on to tell of an "inconsistency in the prices charged for potatoes by two Topeka grocers." Stover's letter follows: -Mr. VT. H. Kemper, Topeka, Kan. Dear Sir: just a few lines soent the fair list as printed this date. If it wasn't really tragical to so many of us, it would be highly ludicrous, and I would be led to suggest that you submit it to the manager of the Orpheum circuit and feel sure it would be a scream and produce much laughter, especially among the grocerymea and butchers who might chance to be present. Eggs, which we have long since accus tomed ourselves to do without, are substan tially decreased, but are still about 50 too high. The other commodities, insofar as I can determine, are a trifle higher than mos-. of the stures are charging at the present time and will, of course, result in another increase, as It's a certainty they (the gro cers) will not 'sell for less than yourfair prices, even tho you state they are all fair and square and not inclined to profiteer. I note the paper states that those present last night expressed willingness to co operate. Why uliouldn't they It Is more money in their pockets. For Instance: Pickwick coffee BO cents per pound, I have used it all winter and have not paid that much for It yet, but assume it will be that price next time I buy any. t'huck steak IS cents, and in the adjoining column of the paper it was advertised at aiul 10 cents. Beans 11 cents; they have been advertised for less than that alt winter. Shredded- wheat biscuits 15 cents, a little higher than cur rent prices, and so on and so forth thru out the list Meadow Gold butter 72 cents. Fair enough; especially for Mr. Haskell. I note you state that the retail mer chants do not make the prices and are not responsible for their being high. That statement is so aslnine that It needs no comment. However, I priced potatoes at Senne Brothers, on West Third street last week and they were 70 cents a peck for Red Kiver. poor quality, while Horsfield, on Kansas avenue, was selling northern potatoes at $2.40 per bushel, good quality. It would all be a Joke if it wasn't so serious a matter, however, I was not dis appointed when I read your fair list as we had had already a taste of it when the wood committee announced their fair1?) prices a few weeks ago. and had no reason to expect anything different at this time.' In conclusion I would suggest that you I 8t.rile organize a quartette and aine 1 1 j-jjerc Kjae isorn rcvery Minute." Tours truly, R. I. STOVER. MRS. MARIE STONE DEAD Wife of Xoted Kansas Artist Victim of Prolonged Illness. Mrs. Marie Celina Stone, wife of George M. Stone, died Thursday morn ing at their home In Highland Park. Altho she had been in poor health for several years. It was not generally known that her condition as serious. Mrs. Stone was a native of Paris but she has lived in Topeka for the past twenty-eight years. She was mar ried to Mr. Stone In 1892 while he was studying art In Paris. She was a member of the Woman's club of Topeka. the W. T. K. club. Of late she has been actively Interested in the work of the fatherless children of France committee. For a number of years she taught French classes In To peka. During the war, members of Mrs. Stone's family in France were in the invaded district. Anxiety for their safety probably did much to lower vi tality and prohibit ultimate recovery. Mrs. Stone is survived by her hus band; a son, Maurice Lamy of Lincoln, Neb., and a daughter, Mrs. George Jewell, of San Bernardino, Cah Ar rangements for the funeral will be an nounced upon the arrival here of the two children.

Kinkel aa a member of the public utilities commission is a matter of probably greatest concern in politi cal and public utilities circles just at this time. The fact that Governor Allen Is said to have recently stated that he would make no appointments until after the special session ef the legislature, has failed to remove the strain. Kinkel's term expires this IltUULIl. s r Of the appointments which may be made by Governor Allen during the remainder of his term, perhaps none will be of greater concern than the course which he will pursue In hand ling tne public utilities commission problem. Should the governor name a successor to the Hutchinson man, he will have carried" out his threat of a year ago to overhaul the commission. Should he appoint Kinkel to succeed himself he will srive the state a real living example of turning the other cneelc to the. opposition in politics. Just at this time Kinkel is himself preparing to take the state bar ex amination. He expects to be admitted to practice In the state courts. This move, observers believe, means that In event f removal from the commis sion at the close of his present term, Klfikel will return to Hutchinson to engage in the practice of law. It Is known in state departments that no pronouncement has been made by the governor as to his plans. And it is likewise known that parties friendly to Kinkel and parties not quite "so rrienaly have maue a real honest ef fort to learn something of the gev ernor's plans. Heed Probable Successor. Clyde M. Reed, private eecrfetarv to Governor Allen, has been generally aopea as ivinKei s probable successor. The proposal to -advance Reed is said to carry the hearty approval of H. H. Motter, state chairman: Fred Trigs- or Kansas City, Mo.; William Allen w ane or rimpona ana outers mgn in tne Allen organization in Kansas. Suggestion was made some time ago for the appointment of Harvey Penny, member of the state board of admin istration, as a member of the utilities commission.' But Penny shied at the proposal. He preferred to stay on his present Job. Possibilities that W. I. Husrsrins of tne public utilities commission mignt go to Governor Allen's industrial court. have tended to further disturb condi tions. Huggins is regarded as one of the strongest jn en ever-on the com mission. He aided in drafting the new court bill which will be presented to the legislature next week. His work on the commission has met with gea- eral favor and the fact that he might be advanced has not occasioned considerable degree of rejoicing peciaily in view of uncertainty as to his possible successor. Appointments Not Confirmed. Both Huggins and C. "W. Green of Kansas City were named as commis sion members following adjournment of the 1919 legislative session. Their appointments' have not been con firmed. Tjnder the plan of Governor Allen it is probable that no appoint ments will be sent to the senate dur ing the special session. Kinkel, whose job is the center ef interest, came into public life as Hodges appointee. The Hutchinson man was aligned with that faction of the Republican party which har pooned the Bull Moose In 1912 to the everlasting joy of the Democrats. And Kinkel came to Topeka as the minor ity member of a Bourbon commission, His appointment was severely crlti cized by the Capper publications which lined him up with the greesi eyed monsters of the standpat ring. Then Governor Capper came Into power. It was W. T. Morgan, lieu tenant governor, who saved Kinkel from a watery political grave during the early days of the Capper regime, it is asserted. There was a story in the state house to the effect that Kin kel would stand hitched with the J. L. Bristow leadership on the commis sion. The story was naturally denied. Kinkel was reappointed' twice by Gov ernor Capper and dwelt in. peace and harmonv with Bristow Bo lar as out side appearances were concerned and occasioned no eruption oy, signing minority opinions with Judge C. Foley, the Democrat member. JLined l'p (With Morgan. In the eamoaign of 191 Kinkel naturally linen up bentna tne Mor gan governorship boom. The political observers tnoucnt mey saw ice lunaei bubbles where the Morgan ship went down. But maybe they were mistak env Kinkel might be reappointed. But the dope is equally strong prooaDiy lust a little stronger tne mner way. And Governor Allen complacently smHes and refuses to talk. And friends of Kinkel gather no infortmv tlnn. Enemies of Kinkel have no bet ter luck. The senate will have no p-mxia on the matter during the ene cial session. And each day the terra of the Hutchinson man draws a little nearer the official end.

High vases of roses and crystal candelabra each holding four lighted white tapers were on either side of the altar. The bridal party were grouped in a semi-circle and the bridesmaids' dresses of dif ferent colors made a rainbow effect. The bride's gown was of white pussy willow satin combined with duchesse lace. The yoke and short sleeves were of hand run net and the lace formed the lower part of the bodice and the short peplum. There was a graceful Watteau pleat at the back of the skirt. Tiny seed pearls finished the round neck. She wore a strand of pearls and the bridegroom's gift, a bar pin of platinunr sft with diamonds. Her hose were of white lace and her Blip- DON'T WHIP!

Woods, the famous theatrical manager, whose production of "Friendly Enemies," the international comedy success, will be presented at the Grand on Saturday, recently re turned from a trip to London, where he presented "Friendly Enemies." The success of the play in the Eng lish capital is now a matter of history. During his stay there Woods met the king and queen of England and the queen of Rumania. Woods's introduction to these per sonages occurred during the opening performance of "Friendly Enemies' at the Haymarket theater. 'Friendly Enemies' was the first play which the the king saw after the signing of the armistice," says Woods, "and I was eager to see how he would respond to it. He laughed continually and every, time he laughed his dress shirt struck the railing of the box. which was evidently none too' clean. With every bump a stripe of dust re mained on the shirt so that at the end of the play the royal breast looked like a zebra." At the close of the performance. Woods went to the king's box and asked him how he liked the play. "Very good, sir." said the king. "Have a cigar," said Woods. '"Thanks." said the king. Kendall Won Easily. Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 2.

Grocer Says Fair Price Commissioner I-S Hiking Bents. An Injunction was not the only thing aimed at W. -H. Kemper, fair price chairman, today by Topeka gro cers. H. T." Birmingham, a grocer on East Fifth street, called The State Journal on the "phone and wanted to know why Kemper, if the price chief wants to reduce living costs, is raising rentals of his apartment houses regu larly. "I called up Mrs. Kemper today," Birmingham said, "and acted like I wanted to rent an apartment. She said that owing to high cost of every thing they were going to raise rentals shortly. "Now. if Mr Kemper wants to neip reduce the cost of living let him quit raising rents. You won't find a gro cer in town -who won't willingly re duce prices if wholesale and jobbing prices go down."

The diver, who recently- returned from Russia where he was engaged m raising sunken vessels, is now on his way to France to salvage- ships-sunk during the war, with the understand- r tnat ne is to undergo an opera tion before taking up the work. Loeb, then employed as a life saver, was on his vacation; at the time the Eastland was sunk. The Vessel, built to carry z.zoo, put out from the Chi cago river with 4,000 Joyous persons aboard, in six minutes she overturn ed, bearing her human cargo with her. Loeb was standing on the Clark street bridge. Hearing two girls scream for help, he hastily discarded coat and shoes and dove 40 feet into the water. Swimming a distance of 250 feet into the struggling mass of humanity, he attempted to seise the gins ana swim to a nearby tujy boat. One of them grabbed him by the throat in such a strangling hold that he was compelled to knock her un conscious. He then put both of. them on the tug boat Racine. In Water 72 Hours. During the work on rescuing the survivors, Ixeb was on the Job 72 hours, during which time he was not out of the water five minutes at a time. His work was at last ended when he struck his head against a steel structure while making a dive, fracturing his skull and bursting a blood vessel. He lay unconscious in the Iroquois hospital for 29 -hours and 32 minutes and was three times pronounced dead. Twenty-one stitches were taken jn his right shoulder and sixteen in his leg. He had saved thirty-eight lives and recoyered sixty seven, dead bodies. During his thirteen years experi ence as a diver. Loeb has operated in all parts of the world. He was the chief diver employed in raising the F-4, the American submarine sunk in Honolulu harbor. In the Peoria disaster he brought up thirty-two dead bodies,, and had both hands fractured. In the Cleveland tunnel accident he saved four men and recovered thirteen bodies. He is the only diver in the world who has gone down to a depth of 267 teet in Giving suits weighing 1,465 pounds. "In the suit, employing the old style helmet," said Loeb today1, "a. man could die ofthemmorrhages before the helmet could be taken off. Every bolt with which it was fastened to the suit had to be loosened with a monkey wrench. The United States snap hel met now in use can be secured or re moved by an eighth of a turn. It is equipped with a receiver and trans mitter and also with an air-valve to repulate the air supply." Loeb stopped" off here in response to a wire from G. L. Hooper, manager of tne orpneum theater.
