Hopkins Held Probe. Hopkins this morning examined seven witnesses to the strike of 400. miners of the Western and Wear Coal companies who yesterday struck in protest against the new law. The ex amination was -not public. Three of the miners are from the Franklin mine of the Western involved and three from the Wear mine at Dun klik. A seventh miner lives in Pitts burg. While the seven miners were testify ing, their fellow miners were back at work. Both the mines idle yesterday were working today and it was an nounced by operators' officials that there were no idle mines today because of "protest strikes." Howat Urges Boycott. Howat says the four hundred and fifty miners who refused to work yes terday as a protest, did so on '.heir own initiative. That no strike order was Issued by union headquarters.

Word from Pittsburg in dicated that all of the strikers had re- turned to work except seven men sub pocnaed to testify before the attorney general. Thore is little danger of further trouble, officials believe. The fact that the men returned to their work this morning reassured officials that no dif ficulty wna to he encountered in handling the problem. The new court will not organize until nost Monday unless an emergency should exist. GVAItDSMEX DISAPPOINTED. Council Grove Troops Exiiocted $50 Bonus Sunday Got Drill Pay Only. Council Grove.

M. A. Moore, general chairman of the Brotherhood of- Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employes for the eatern lines, received a telegram this afternoon from the president of the organization at Washington, D. C as suring him that the half holiday Sat urdays, as well as pay during vacations and sickness are fully protected by tne new agreement made between the union officials and the railroad ad ministration. This morning, following the excite ment among the employes when ru mors of an undesirable change about to take place reached their ears, Moore positively denied that there was any cause for worry, declaring the .new agreement had been interpreted incorrectly. Furthermore, the 4 officials them selves stated that the new agreement did not provide that the employes must work Saturday afternoons..

Republican mild reservationists today had prac tically worked out an agreement with Democrats to throw the treaty Into open debate in the senate, in an ef fort to thresh out a compromise on reservations which can. obtain sixty four votes for ratification. This coalition will act as soon as the breaking off of bi-partisan confer ences in Senator Lodge's office become- a certainty. This is expected to occur today when the Democrats handed Senator Lodge a written re ply to his ultimatum of yesterday. Democrats Decline Terms. The Democrats, according to infor mation' today." will say to Lodge that they cannot accept his terms for con tinuation of the conferences. The Democratic conferees, also have au thorized Senator Hitchcock, their, spokesman to make public a statement' setting forth the exact status of com- Prmise negotiations when the irrecon- ciiaDie jtepuDiicans Droxe up tne par leys last Friday. This statement ls to show that a proposal drafted by Senator Kellogg.1 Minnesota, a mild reservationist, and amended by Senator Simmons. North Carolina, a Democrat, was acceptable to a majority of the conferees: that just at the time it was scheduled to be approved the irreconcilables upset this plan. The mild reservationists have assur ances that 43 Democrats will join with 15 Republicans to put the treaty again before the senate, they said today. The plan is to take up the reservations one by one, letting senators submit what ever suggestions for compromise they wish. Fate of Compromise In Doubt. The fate of compromise negotiations on the peace treaty remained in doubt today after the bi-partisan conference had discussed without decision the re fusal of the Republicans to com promise pn Article 10. Another meet ing will be held Thursday. Democratic leaders, replying to the Republican ultimatum regarding Ar ticle 10 did not present a definite re fusal to go on with the negotiations but expressed great surprise declaring an Article 10 compromise "already had been assented to by most of the members of the conference before the Republican served notice they would not agree to a compromise. Under the proposed compromise as made public by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the acting Democratic lead er, the senate would declare by reserv ation that the United States would not employ the economic boycott or its armed forces to prevent the territorial Integrity of any other country unless congress acted in each specmc case 1t, hiii H.v.lnnMl After the j th at a compromise might yet m De i j -rv, .ttitnH. of the I nnnferees. however, was not one of optimism, v MILITARISM."

The cry of "militarism',' will be raised against the army reorganization bill when it gets to the floor of congress. It was evident today. Members of the senate military committee who have just decided to favorably report the measure, be lieved, however, that Its educational, physical culture and Industrial train ing features will mollify those who de nounce its universal military training clauses asf"Germanizing" the United States. Senator Wadsworth said today the bill will be taken up in the senate probably next week. It provides four months army training for all youths. 166 Flo Deaths In Chicago. Chicago, -Jan. 27. A new death record in the influenza epidemic here was established here today with the reporting of 166 deaths for the past 24 hours. New cases numbered 1.616, far enough below the maximum of 2. 000 to encourage the health depart- ment into announcing the epidemic is on the wane. Red Cross organizations and hospitals reported plenty of nurses to handle the .situation If It grows no worse. Demand Sterling Takes ew Drop, New York. Jan. 27.

In- order to obtain certain concessions for the freight handlers, an agreement was made by' the union heads with the railroad administration which affected all members of the union. The clerks believed they had been overlooked and that their own hours had been altered to conform with those of the freight "handlers. All other employes not members of the union would likewise be affected, it Was argued, because the company could not use two separate methods in dealing .with employes in the same building and In the same work. The only change that will now take place is the computation of salaries on- a weekly basis of 306 working days in the year, instead of a monthly basis. This, however, will have no ef fect on the salaries drawn by the clerks at the end of the year, but will obtain for them the benefit of two more holidays. February, being a short month, the pay checks will be smaller on this basis but the deficiency will be made up in the following months. It was pointed out. Owing to the misapprehension that has been occasioned, Moore has called a meeting for tonight at the hall, 521 Quincy street, where the new form of contract will be fully explained to the satisfaction of the clerks.

Tuence of the younger men In the union. "They are progressive," he said, 'and believe that Mr. Gompers la too conservative to advance the cause of labor with proper speed." Mr. Gompers will be 70 years old today. A number of telegrams con gratulating him on his birthday were sent to Washington last night by local unions. PERFECT DEPORTATION' CASE.

It ls the state superintendent's plan to have all telephone removed from the office the first of the month. He will also refuse to reply to letters of inquiry relative to departmental mat ters unless the writer encloses a stamp. Recently Travis has eaten into his contingent fund to meet office expenses. When he asked for more money, the appropriation bill was beaten on the floor of the house. While the bill was being beaten, Travis asserts, his department was closing an agreement with live stock insurance companies which will re sult in a saving of 1100,000 to 1150,000 a year to the stockmen of the state. FLU SPREADS HERE Eighteen 'ew Cases Reported in Topeka Today. Pneumonia Epidemic Trails Outbreak Records Show. Eighteen new cases of influenza were reported to the city health de partment today and two last night, bringing the total reported "in the last twenty-four hours to' nearly thirty, according to Dr. Earle G. Brown, city health officer. Today's report shows that Topeka, which heretofore has virtually escaped the epidemic, is be ginning to be more heavily hit. The eighteen cases today are the largest number yet reported in one day. Ten cases of pneumonia also were reported to the city today. One death from lobar pneumonia occurred Monday afternoon, the victim being Christine Palmer, 1412 North Central. There was no trace of" the flu germ, health officials say. "The disease seems to be milder In form than during the last epidemic," Doctor Brown said. "We still are hopeful of escaping a serious epidemic in Topeka." TETRAZZINI TO BE HERE Soprano Wires She Has Not Canceled Her Topeka Engagement. H. J Dotterweich. manager of the Topeka Concert Series, received a wire from the manager of Mme. Tetrazzini, that she will positively appear in To peka Thursday night. The report of Mme. Tetrazzinl's ill ness came to Topeka Monday. It re ported that the great singer had can celed an engagement two weeks ago owing to illness but did not carry any idea that she was cancelling the To peka appearance. Mme. Tetrazzini will appear in Tulsa this evening and will arrive in Topeka tomorrow, one day ahead of her appearance. She will rest here and will be in fine voice for her con cert at the auditorium Thursday eve ning. It is claimed and verified that she is in better voice since her illness than before as the complete rest helped the great soprano's power to a great extent. Dotterweich has experienced a great deal of trouble since the news came to Topeka of Tetrazzinl's illness as many have canceled their seats and a great many have returned them for redemp tion. All of which was unnecessary. This will mark Tetrazzinl's first ap pearance in Topeka and will be her only singing date in Kansas. America will lose Tetrazzini after the present tour, as she returns to Italy for a long rest. She was very active during the war in relief work and canteen service for the Italian and American armies. FEAR FOR RESCUE PARTY. Icebound Steamer Free But Relief Expedition May Be Lost.

WANT NEAREST FARM! Two r'""" Apply tot 1,000-Acre Tract In Euphrates Valley. Kansas has men willing to try their hand at farming in the Euphrates val ley and they are applicants for the thousand acres of land offered by the farmers of that valley. The applicants are Warren E. Crabtree, son of Prof. P. E. Crabtree, of, Scot City, and now a student at the Kansas Agricultural college; and Walter Snowden, judge of the probate court of Gove county. The Kansas headquarters lor tne Near East Relief campaign received word that the Armenians and Syrians in Asia were so impressed with the work of Kansas farmers that they had pooled one thousand acres of land to be given to some Kansas farmer who would come to that country, farm the land and teach them American scien tific agriculture. The usual income of a farmer in that country is $43 a year from his wheat and about an equal sum from other crops. The most crude methods of farming are followed. Whoever will go to that country and actually teach them farming with practical demonstrations of his theories and plans is to be given a clear title to the one thousand acres of land on which the experiments will be con ducted. Warren Crabtree has had plenty of experience in general -..farming and helping his father who is engaged in intensive plant breeding and who holds the record for the high yield of sorghums in Scott county. Judge Snowden has not had an agricultural college education but knows the Kan sas farming methods from hard ex perience. The two applications have been sent to the Near East committee in. New York.

Uoskln, Director. Washing ton, I). The currant year promises to be a busy one for Topeka mechanics. Many new buildings already are in process of construction, many others are be ln planned and still others probably will be started a3 the building; season advances. Capitalists apparently have become reconciled to the fact that there is little if any hope for a decline in the costs of material or labor. Rents have advanced sufficiently already to compensate for the added cost of con struction and will continue to rise along with prices of everything; else if sucli advances shall continue. Given a little time the law of supply and demand will assert itself In any line of "Business. The building of houses is no exception. As soon as we have finished deport ing; our "reds" we should begin with our bank robbers. The profiteers may safely be left to the last. Miners in the Pittsburg district ap pear to be in a hurry to test out the workings of the new- court of Indus trial relations. It is reported that 400 of them have gone on strike and the mines where they were employed are idle. Perhaps it is well that the min ers, the operators and the public shall know Where each stands before an other winter. If the new law do not work, perhaps It can be eo changed that It will wot-R. Goodbye, Mr. Legislator; come again next year. Topeka Is always glad to see you, and hopes to show Ju many evidences of progress and Improvement when you return. All signs furnish a basis for the 'prediction that for the next three to five years, at least, there will be in this country work for all who want it, and occupation for every useful enter prise. It will take not less than five billion dollars expended In repairs and reconstruction to put the railroads back-on an efficient working basis. It will take nearly half that sum, it is estimated, to supply this country with the needed residences properly to house its people. While this recon struction wrk is in progress, there will be a ready market for all the farm products that can be raised. The log ging camps, the saw mills and planing mills, the mines and foundries, the paper mills, the packing houses, the textile and clothing mills, will all be working at practically full capacity. Along with the other rights which are being conferred upon women is included that of paying alimony. Word comes from Boone, Iowa, that a woman who was granted a, divorce from her husband was condemned to pay him $50 a month as long as he i lives. Peter Lorenz. of HUlsboro, Kan., wants to know what war the Demo crats referred to in 1916 when they declared President Wilson "kept us out." "Some one," writes Lorenz, "says they meant the Mexican war, but I hold they alluded to the war with Germany.' Politics in our day is classified by Henry Ford in his Dearborn Inde pendent as not so much a popular matter as a professional matter. In stead of being always the exact effect of the whole community's thought upon public questions, he says It is often only the community choice be tween two limited programs prepared by professional partisans who them selves have personal aspirations to serve or whose welfare' la linked up with the personal aspirations of others. All of this may be true, but there is little evidence apparent of an rally change. John J. Ingalls lost an cluctlon to the United States senate by declaring; that "the purification of politics is an iridescent dream." But politics remains much the same today as it was In Ingalls's time. EXCESSIVE PROFITS. Excessive profit taking, declares Senator Capper, Is beginning to men ace business. Certainly' it is. But since the government la one of the bene ficiaries of excessive profit taking thru the medium of the excess profits tax, the senator might perform a dis tinct service to business and to the entire country by putting thru con gress axbill repealing that tax. No form of taxation ever has been devised that relieves the ultimate consumer from the burden, but if he could pay his tax direct to the govern ment without its passing thfu the hands of men who are In a position to take a heavy rakeoff lie would derive a distinct benefit in the way of money saved. For every dollar paid into the United States treasury In the form of excess profits tax, the manufacturer probably lays aside a dollar or even nore for himself. A similar process was in operation when we were col lecting; the bulk of the federal revenue thru a high tariff.' The tariff elim inated foreign competition to an extent sufficient to enable the man ufacturer to sell at an enormous ad vance over the cost of production. These excessive prices the consumer paid in order that the government might derive a revenue from the system while the output of our fac tories was sold abroad for lower prices than it was sold at home. For in stance, a Singer sewing machine made in America, could be bought In Ger many and shipped over here for less money than it could be, bought at home. Since the ultimate consumer must pay all the taxes it would be cheaper for him to pay direct. This can be done thru a sales tax, which already Is in operation In a limited way. If a man pay a tax when hebuys a theater ticket, a hat, a pair of shoes or a toilet article he knows how much he is paying for the support of his govern ment and he knows that what he pays is going straight where it belongs, without being subject to a rake-off by any third party, as is the case un der the excess profit tax law. An extension of the sales tax system to every article of daily consumption would lighten the burden of the tax payer, who then would not be forced to pay two dollars In taxes In order that the gbi'ernment might get one dollar in revenue. A sales tax suffi cient to meet the requirement of the treasury would be more than balanced by the lowered price of goods. It would prove superior to a stamp tax, which being psjd by the dealer en ables him to add two dollars to the selling- price Of his goods for every dollar paid in for stamps. SOBERING IP. Happily for the country, the dis turbed conditions in its Industrial life which prevailed for several months following the signing of the armistice seem almost wholly to have disap peared. There Is not a big strike in progress anywhere. The country is sobering up. It is not denied that there are many maladjustments in the workings of the industrial organization, but most of them are due to the liberty of choice and freedom of action which is al lowed to the Individual. Each person is free, so far as circumstances will permit, to live his own life, providing he does not unduly interfere with others, to choose his occupation, live where he wants to, and in s general way govern his habits and manage his policies as he pleases. Each farmer may plant what he chooses, and if with the vicissitudes o thei weather and all market conditions it happens that too many plant one thing, the price for that year may be below the cost of production. And if an undue number of persons prefer to live in towns instead of in the country, it may be that the cost of food will become very high as compared with the wages of town industries. Conditions are continually changing in the industries, so that a surplus of labor may develop in given industries and places. In general the responsi bility is upon each Individual to order his own life and to find the place in the industrial organization Where he will be useful: perhaps society might well do more to protect the individual from th vicissitudes with which he must contend, and to help him to achieve his greatest usefulness. That is always a proper subject for con sideration, and It grows in importance as population increases and the Indus tries become more specialised. The business organization is what it is not because it was so planned or any authority or concerted effort made it so, but as the result of nat ural development under the free play of the evolutionary forces, of society. It Is still subject to change by the same forces and is changing all of the time. It will surely take the form best adapted to serve the wants of the community as the community itself changes and develops. But this means that it will be gradually changed by the business community itself, thru the competitive efforts of many minds to render the most satisfactory service. and not by the plans and agitation of-: theorists outside of the business com munity, or by having the business of the country taken over by the politi cal organization. "I bet I know what makes sister wear her hair bunched down over her ears." said the small boy. "Do you replied the affable young man. "Yes. But 1 ain't going to telL. Only if mv Mm wrs as h( mm altv-'a Vrl do something like that myself." TpPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HA SKIN, Director. Washington, D. C WHITE MEN" IN" THE TROPICS. Washington, D, C Jan. 24. Can the white man live in the tropics' Can he raise his children there with out detriment to their health and that of succeeding generations? This is one of the Important ques tions which will probably be consid ered by a congress of distinguished scientists in Hawaii next summer, ac cording to Alexander Hume Ford, head of the Pan-Pacific union with headquarters in Honolulu. He is now in the United States arranging for the scientific conference. It will prob ably be orpranlzed.by Prof. H. E. Greg ory of Tale, who will be given an ap propriation of ten thousand dollars forthe purpose of calling together about forty scientists qualified to study and discuss the problems con fronting the lands which border upon the Pacific. Altho a great deal has been said and written on the subject of the white man's health in tropical lands, it has never been determined exactly what effect"?, good or bad, the tropical cli mate has on the man with a light skin, nor to what those effects are due nor how they may be guni-ded against. And the question is becom ing a more important one every day, because the man who wants to own land and establish himself in a new country is looking more and more to the tropics. Take the situation in this country. Our own west no longer of fers to the homeseeker any consider able bodies of free or cheap agricul tural lands. On the other hand In Central and South America, in Mex ico and such islands as Santo Domingo there is vast undeveloped wealth of the very kind that drew adventurous men to the west fifty years ago rich land that has never been plowed, un discovered mineral wealth, virgin forests. Americans have been going to these countries as salesmen, promoters, and especially as investors of capital seek ing concessions, for a great many years. But they have not been going as home seekers. In the first place, unsettled political conditions have kept them out. and in the second place they have feared the climate and the tropical diseases. Now the countries to the south of us are becoming steadily less friendly to exploling capital, but they are not shutting the doors to the man who wants a home. Mexico, for example, if the present government had its way, would make it nearly impossible for large capital to exploit Mexican re sources, but it would not make it im possible or even difficult for a man to get a larm and establish a home. Something of the same tendency may be noted in other Carribean countries. In all of these countries political con ditions are pretty sure to be stabil ized in the relatively near future, and there is some reason to believe that they will be stabilized in a way more acceptable to the little man looking for a home than to the big man look ing for a fortune. It should be said at once that there is much evidence against the tropics as a place for white men to live. The white man who goes to the tropics to live- without very carefully consider ing the conditions he is to face and how he may best guard against them is very likely to meet with disaster. And he should be still more circum spect about taking his wife and chil dren to the southern countries. It used to be the well-recognized tropical diseases that kept white rrren away from the equatorial wealth. Yellow fever and malaria long closed many tropical countries to Europeans. They defeated the French in Panama. Then Colonel Gorgas went down there and showed that yellow fever and ma laria could be defeated, too. He wrote a book in which he prophesied j that the tropics, freed of these dis- eases, would become the bread basket of the world. But it soon became apparent that the problem was not so simple. The British in India had also done much toward conquering tropical disease, but they found that even when free from specifio disease, it was- hard to raise children in tropical India. Those sta tioned in the hottest parts of India found that unless they sent their chil dren back to England before they were seven years of age, the children often died, and still more often grew up to be nervous wracks. It has been said by some authorities and denied by others that there is no third gen eration of Englishmen in. India. In other words .a man may go to a tropical country and lead a fairly healthy life there, but his chlldten may show the bad effects of the en vironment, and their children, if there are any, may show them still more. Some authorities say that very often white people born in the tropics do not have any children. This is ascribed by some observers to the action Of the ultra-violet ray, to which the brilliant sunshine of the tropics gieatly exposes man. White men are native to a climate In which the sun shines less than half the time, and even then is often partly veiled by mist or cloud. Continual exposure to the ultra-violet or actinic ray is unnatural to him, just as continual exposure to the X-ray is mtoieraoie to any Human nemg. it is, interesting to note that many men who have worked with the X-ray without adequate protection have been thercby rendered sterile. Whether the effect is due wholly or even mainly to the actinic ray or not, it has been pretty well established by experience that continuous life in !The George Matthew Ad ams tSlSiSlSlSlSlSlSISlSlSkSlSlSlSlS STAND BIT. A fire is a terrible thing. I never see one but I think of the con test between the two natural elements, fire and water1 each fighting against the other. TJ J; T J inspired by the brave firemen who stand by. I once witnessed the falling of a building, during a raging fire, in which a noble fireman was buried at his duty. I never yet have seen a fireman run away. They always stand by! We can all be pretty brave while the sun shines happily around us. But let an emergency arise, and we are put to the test. It's then that the world finds out whether or not we have the t tiff In 1m to fttanii bv It's fine to have a host of friends, equatorial countries is bad for the white man. No white man shouldgo to such a country unless he is assured of ample vacations in more northerly lands. He should be especially care ful about accepting work in' tropical countries which exposes him much to the sun. But while parts .of the tropics are probably uninhabitable to the white man, and while continuous life there, may be 'dangerous for him, there are various, mitigating conditions to be considered. The actinic ray may de stroy the nervous system, if the ex posure is long enough, but in small doses it is evidently a stimulus. Every one who has taken a winter vacation trip to the tropics is aware of this peculiar stimulating effect. A sense of delightful physical well-being is experienced by almost anyone on first going to .the tropics, and a short visit there is almost always beneficial to the health. Suppose, then, that a man owned a cocoanut plantation somewhere in the West Indies which required his attention only five or six months in the year, and enabled him to go to New England for the summer and fall. "Such a life might bo far healthier than one all of which was spent in the variable climate of the middle Atlantic states. Then again there are tropical lands which have mountains that reach lit erally out of the tropics by reason of their great elevations. And there are other tropical -lands, especially islands, which are so tempered by sea breezes that their climates are not really tropical at all. Hawaii is an excellent example of this latter class. The island is Just within the tropics, in the first place, and it is cooled by winds in the sec ond. Its temperature varies between 65 and 85 degrees. There is now a fourth generation of white Americans in Hawaii, and this generation is not only healthy, but has produced a number of men of very exceptional physique. American boys of this gen eration in Hawaii are among the star athletes of Yale and Harvard. Mr. Ford believes that these young men, who .seem decidedly to have gained rather than lost in strength and stamina by being born in the tropics, illustrate a method by which the white man may adjust himself to tropical climates when they are not too severe. Mr. Ford firmly believes that the actinic ray is a large factor in the ef fect which the tropics have on the man with a light skin. He also be lieves that this light ray, up to a cer tain point, is a valuable stimulus. He says with regard to himself for exam- pie, that he can Co much more work in Hawaii than in- the United States, and that he needs only five hours sleep out of every twenty-four there, while in this country he requires, or at least takes, a great deal more. The reason that negroes, Polynes ians and other peoples native to tropi cal countries are not affected adverse ly by the actinic ray is that the dark color of their skins neutralizes its ef fect. Now the young Hawiian ath letes of Anglo-Saxon blood, who have spent so much of their time riding the surf, with their skins exposed to the full action of the sun, seem not to have suffered thereby. And it is no ticeable that all of them are tanned to a very dark hue darker indeed, than the native Polynesians. In other words, provided he can endure-the ini tial exposure to the sun, the white man may protect himself in the tropics by acquiring the dark skin of the native. The English man in India seeks to survive by wearing a pith helmet and staying in the shade as much as possible. The America in Hawaii has reversed the process by going right out into the sunlight and adjusting himself to it. Of course this latter process would not be possible in a country like India where exposure to the sun usually re sults in death, by sunstroke. But it suggests that in many of the more healthful tropical countries the white man may adjust himself Ao his en vironment, not only without damage, but with positive benefit. The whole Subject is one upon which nothing positive can be said, and of whieh a careful scientific study should be made. Mr. Ford believes that a study of the fourth generation of Americans in Hawaii should now be made. Mean time, any American who contemplates going to a tropical country to live should realize that he faces a radical change of environment, and one which can safely be made onry with a full knowledge of its conditions.

Miss Martin, aren't you?" asked Austin Sheridan, pausing on his rounds of the store to look over the ribbon counter at the young clerk whose white fingers were never idle. "What are you making, thingumagigs for pretty girls to wear to parties?", .She took a last stitch in the rosette of blue ribbon that she was fashioning so deftly. "Something nicer than that," she smiled. "Bows fbr baby bonnets." She tacked the ribbon in place on a sheer little garment made of fine lace and batiste. "I wish that the man agement would put this in the win-4 dow. I could sell fifty pairs of these bows in week if they would. Be sides that, it would help the infant department sell bonnets, too." "Sure it would," agreed Austin, re garding the lacy bit of headgear. "I'll put it in myself." Marian looked around cautiously. "Be careful!" she warned. "Don't make Rlgsby mad! He'll be awfully cross about everything you do if you try to tell him anything about the win dow displays." "Well, we want to sell ribbons, don't we "Yes; but I'd hate to see you get into trouble here. You've only been in the store for a few weeks. I've been here for five years, and I know that Rigsby stands in with the boss, and that if he gets mad at anybody the boss backs him in anything he wants to do." "I'd like to see him try to pick on you. Just once! That would be abqut enough." A faint color crept into the girl'3 pale cheeks. She shook the threads from her black sateen apron before she answered him. "You know when you first came here I was so hurt be cause they made you buyer for my department when-you were new here, and I had been here for so, long and hail worked so hard that I just could n't like you a bit. But I know better now. and I want to tell you that I ap nrerlate all the kind things you have done for me more than I can say.

Why, if you had real money, girl say, you could look like a million dollars on $50 a week. Where's that tea room?" Just around the corner. It has the cleanest little tables and there are al ways a few fresh flowers on each one every day.

"Bet you can't do it as well s. you can tie ribbon bows!" v'Bet I can." laughed Marian as thev went into the tearoom. He asked her to do the ordering for both of them, and marveled at her business-like manner. She quickly se lected a few nourishing dishes. "It will be 35 cents for each of us," she told him smilingly. "This is my set up today. Tou'll make a poor man a good wife," he said, looking at her so steadily 'that her eyes dropped before the unmistak able message in his. He thought of her blue eyes smiling at him over the filmy lace bonnet with its fluffy blue bows of soft ribbon. There was a lit tle contraction in his throat, a terrific pounding in his young heart. He leaned over, and, careless of the throng In the dimly lighted room, laid his hand over hers. "Say, do you think we could manage, togethes, on fifty a week? Do you?" "Oh!" cried Marian with a quick in-taking breath. "X could work, too: We would make seventy together." He caught her hand close at that, "No, I want you to be XOO- per cent home maker," he told her quietly. "Gee," he breathed reverently. "I wish that I -could kiss you while you have that look in your face!" Late that afternoon he stopped at the ribbon counter. "The boss wants you in the office. I'll go along. I think it's a raise," "It makes me ashamed to think that I was jealous of you because the man agement made yon buyer for my de partment," she whispered as the ele vator carried them to the big office of the rich merchant.

I once asked Mary to tell me some thing of herself. She had just re marked, apropos of something that came up at the shop: "You've got to get your eye teeth cut in this town, or you don't keep your job, nor get anywhere worth while." Then, in. reply to my questions: "You ain't got any idea, Gerry, how hard it was for me. I landed In this old burg about .three years ago with my handsome face and figure pius five dollars. It was pretty bad at first. I waited on table in cheap res taurants, washed dishes, any old thing I could get to do to keep from having the stomach ache for lack of anything to put in it. But I stuck. I rather liked the big town. Then, too, no. one was going to say that Mary Ryan "was a quitter. And I kept good and hon est, too, if I did josh the Johnnies. And believe me, I worked. Lots of girls in them places where I was done just as little as they could get away with it. But me! I ain't no million airess yet, but I am here on the Ave nue, and them girls are still slinging hash and washing dishes right where they was." "How did you come to decide to be a milliner?" I asked when she stopped for breath. "It was a bit of luck landed me here. Madame Leets dropped her purse and I picked it up and ran after her with It. She had a roll in it as big as my fist, I never had seen so much money in my life. There was diamonds, too. My, but wasn't she glad to get them back. She took me right into this very shop and peeled off a ten-spot and give at to me. Then she asked me if I wouldn't like to come Jiere and work. I said 'yes' so quick it would scare "you out of a year's growth. I wasn't giving her any time to change her mind. I al ways loved pretty hats; used to wish I could learn to make them, or sell them. She saw I was handy around them head pieces after a while, loving them, fo she shoved me up a little. I guess I made good all right, because if madame was grateful because I found her purse, she ain't the kind what lets her feelings interfere with business. Gee, there comes that rich Mrs Dusenburg. Madame told me this' morning I could start selling this week and see what I could do. Just watch little Mary sell her a lid!" I was delighted with the cleverness be,"-he answered, squeezing her hand, the look in his eyes a caress. Marian trembled a little, with excite ment as she passed thru the mahogany door. Twice before she had been sum moned there. On both occasions she had been thanked for her interest in the business and had been granted a small Increase in salary. She was vis ibly surprised when the white-haired old man on the far side, of the big flat top desk rose as she entered and of fered her his hand. "I have just heard from ah Mr. Sheridan here that you expect to re sign the first of the year. Miss Martin. He is honest enough to say that you know more about ribbons than he will w-t- hB nble to learn. However. I am hnneful that vou can. teach him a great deal about your stock before you leave.

"'I don't know how to thank you both." she stammered catching her quivering lower lip be tween her even white teeth, v "I I am very grateful and even when I I do leave, I'll still help Mr. Sheridan with my stock. "You beb you will." The boss left his big revolving chair and went around the desk to-pat the astonished girl on the shoulder. "You're going to be a partner worth having.

Story or' Home anci Business PHELPS V with which Mary intrigued the wealthy woman into buying, not one hat, but two. Yet Mary had been per- fectly honest with her. The customer was a woman past middle ago. an had admired a youthful confection, entirely unsuited to her age, and her style. In fact, it was out of character for her in every way. Mary discour aged her when she suggested she might take it. "Excuse me, Madame, but that hat don't look like you it ain't your style. It ain't rich enough, and it doesn't show the nice line of your hair in the back." Without another word the un becoming hat was discarded, and two very becoming ones sold. "She don't even know she has any style, which she ain't, enough to hurt her none," Mary said to me after the customer had gone, "but I ain't sell ing lids to people when they make them look worse than the Lord in tended them to. Not if I can .help It, Ir ain't good business. Someone is sure to tell them it ain't becoming to their style of beautyf and then they don't come back."

The 'Men Propose -1. A woman, who claims to know. says that this is ths way in which. various types of men pop ths ques tion: The very young man offers you his hand and heart as if he were proffer ing -you a, cup of cold poison. He is whit faced and dry mouthed, and tense and tragic and when he swears that he will commit suicide If you re fuse him he means It, for It 10 only when one is very young that one be lieves that love is the be-all and end all of life. You never remember very distinctly what he says. It's something about his never having loved before, and that he will never love again, and you are the only woman in the world, and of course you will have to wait a, while until he gets to making as much, as )I0 a, week. But two can live as cheaply as one, and so on. and then you kiss him if you are going to smy "no" because you are eo sorry for him. and he kisses you If you say "yes" and ten year, later he is wondering what was the name of that girl he made such a fool of himself over at the Smithson'a party, and you wonder what's become of that nice boy that you spooned with that sum mer at the beach. We may laugh at calf love ,lt we will, but the woman who has had a boy's first proposal has had an ala baster casket broken at her feet, and it's a pity she's generally too young to know Just how precious its myrrh, and frankicense sire. The man who is a flirt proposes like a school of correspondence course love making. He has to have a stage setting for a background and cracked ice music for an accompaniment. He seizes the psychological moment when you are sitting out ur.der the palms at a dance and the orchestra, ia sobbing a Hawaiian love plaint, and then he reaches over and takes your hand, and begins by telling you that your eyes are wells of night, and that there is something strange about you, some thing unfathomable and different from any other woman. Then he quotes poetry passionate, sixallng Swinburne stuff and aaurt 'you that life will be cinders, ashes .un, nimvui you, mno, says some thing that sounds like a proposal at 12 midnight but that does not bear thj scrutiny of the cold gray morning after. For the flirt loves and rides away and no woman in her senses re gards him seriously. The truly good young man, and the one with mission in life proposes like a Sunday school tract. He wastes no time in love making and Sometimes even has the nerve to tell a woman that his heart is given to Ills work, and that he merely deelres a com panion to assist" him in uplifting the world and look attfrr his physical comfort for even sair's have a predi lection for good cooking.

N. lici MUST HOLD A CARD Union Leaders Further Plans to Enter City Polities. Candidates Outside Unions Will ot Be Endorsed. BRING FOREIGNERS TO POLLS Take the ames of 200 Unnat uralized Citizens to Court. In State Polities All Efforts Are to Fight Allen. Topeka organized labor leaders to day appeared at the court house with the names of 200 unnaturalized citi zens with inquiries as to the methods to be pursued In making them bona fide voters at the August primaries. These leaders denied that there was any city, county or state political sig nificance in their move, but admitted that practically all the names sub mitted to the clerk of the district court were union men. "They simply wanted to become cit izens," said one of the leaders, "and came to us for advice." The heads of Topeka union organ izations stated that labor planned to enter into state, county and city poli- tics at the Augurt primaries with a stronger organization than ever before i in the history of Topeka politics. "No man in city politics." said one of those negotiating the naturalization of 200 foreign voters, 'will get the indorsement of union labor unless he carries a union card." Run Independent Ticket. The plan as outlined by the leaders is to endeavor to unite with the rural population of Shawnee county in the ftclals anl to run a free and inde- pendent ticket in city politics. State politics, under the plan announced, primarily will be against Allen for governor and no other announcement will be made at this time awaiting a summary of the situation concerning the standing of lower house and sena torial candidates on labor questions. The same labor leaders who called at the office of Mrs. Mary E. Chapin. clerk of the district court, were re ferred to the United States district court clerk's office for naturalization. Many of the names submitted are To peka foreigners who have not, as yet. papers but under the plan announced by labor leaders- these men will be looked after in the future and the pushing of their naturalisation papers will be pursued with the end in view of. ultimately making voters of them on city, county and state affairs.

Sales over $1,200,000,000.00 Net earnings $13,870181.34 x Our shipments were in excess of 5,5O0,0O0,O0Q lbs. This means that our earnings were less than lV cents on each dollar of sales, or a quarter of a cent on each pound shipped. Consumer The average consumer eats about V2 lb. of meat per day180 lbs. per year. If he purchased only Swift Company products he would have contributed only 45 cents (180 lbs. -J4 cent a pound) a year profit to Swift Company for its investment and service, less than one cent per week. Our earnings were so small as to have prac tically no effect on the family meat bill. Live Stock Raiser Swift Company handled in 1919 over 16,000,000 head of live stock. You can figure for yourself that our earnings of 1V cents on each dollar of sales are too small to affect the price you received for your stock. We paid all it was humanly possible to pay considering what the meat and by-products could be sold for. Swift Company, U. S. A. YOUNG BOB FAILURE Made Poor Showing in' Gotham Bins Battle, Tho Scoring K. O. New York, Jan. 27. Back In hi palmy days. Old Bob Fttzsimmons used to bawl out hi boy. Young Bob, because he wouldn't fight In the Ting. The shades. of Old Bob must have been doing the same thing last night because he did go in the ring. True. Young Fit scored a technical knockout over Eddie West, Newark heavyweight, over in Jersey City, but West got so tired waiting for some thing that he had coming in one round that he quit with a few secomU to go in the seventh round. In a preliminary. Young Fritz would have gone big, but in the headline bout of an all-star, he was a huge dis appointment. Bob is a novice. It was only his second fight. In appearance he is chip off the old block, but that's all. He has leagues to cover before he be comes able to carry the flag of the family. Young Fit looks exactly like his father, the former champion. He has trim, thin legs of length and can nse them almost as fast as a lightweight. He has good shoulders and a fine pair of arms, but he doesn't know the first rudiment of handling them. ASKS MRS. JOHNSTON TO SPEAK. Topeka Woman Invited to Take Part In National Suffrage Program.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1920 HEALTH AUTHORITIES WARN THE PUBLIC TO BEWARE OF .EPIDEMIC Reports Show That Influenza Epidemic Is Gaining Head way In Many Sections Of the Country. LAST YEAR'S RECORD BROKEN IN CHICAGO Persons Weak and Run-down Are Easy Victims. Fortify Against Attack By Taking Tanlac. According to late press reports 1s nued by state and city health authori ties. Influenza is again becoming epi demic ia many sections, and much alarm is now felt that it may become general over the entire country. The disease nas made Its greatest progress in Chicago and vicinity, where thousands of new cases are re ported dally. Recently 2,514 cases were reported in Chicago in one day, breaking last year's record when the epidemic was at its heiitnt. Reports from other sections are also alarm ing, and the disease is gaining head way in some sections of Texas, Vir ginia, the- Middle-West, and on the I'acific coast. It has also appeared in other communities, although it has not as yet reached the epidemic stage. Owing to the lateness of the sea son it Is not thought possible that the disense can become the Kreat and ter rifying scourge that it was last year, when it swept the entire country and claimed its victims by the hundreds of thousands. The danger is too great, liowpvsr. to take any cha nces, and everything possible should be done to ward It off. Medical authorities agree that peo PiLESI PILES! PILES!

If you find yourself tired (ana nervous), weak, and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally run-down condition or catch cold easily, this warning should be heeded promptly. You are really in danger if exposed to the disease, because it is generally believed to be very contagious, and you are apt to fall an easy victim if you come in contact with the germs. People who are well and strong are not likely to contract the disease be cause they are able to throw it off. The common-sense way to keep from taking it is to fortify the system against attack by building up the con stitution, in other words, begin im mediately to build up your powers of resistance. To accomplish this it has been dem onstrated that nothing on earth will strengthen you and build you up like Tanlac, the l- Aerful reconstructive tonic which contains the very elements needed to build up the system and give you fighting strength to ward off the Influenza germ. First of all, Tanlac begins its work by creating a good, healthy appetite for wholesome, nourishing food, and assists every organ of the body to per fprm its natural function, thus help ing to build up health and strength in the natural way. Tanlac Is also an ideal strengthen ing tonic for persons who are suffer ing from the after-effects of Influ enza, Grippe, and bronchial troubles, and hundreds of thounds are using it daily with the mos gratifying re sults. In connection with the Tanlac treat ment it is necessary to keep the bow els open by t arte in g Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples of which are en closed with every byttle of Tanlac. It is also Important that the every-day mips of hygiene be observed, that is, sleep in well-ventilated rooms, get plenty of fresh air and exercise, and keep away from crowds.

Payne, of TODAYS BEAUTY HINT It Is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if It is entirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers Is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of can threx which can be obtained from, any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid. enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair Instead of Just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into' the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling In Its ac tion, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the sealp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and even ly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy.
