TO CITY Illinois Governor and Presi dential Possibility Here. To Discuss National Questions Before State Bankers, PUBLIC WILL BE INVITED Meeting at Auditorium to Hear Big Business 3Ian. Political Interest in Visit Be fore Chicago Convention. Gov. Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, will spe-ik in Topeka April 14. The Illinois governor, who is rated among the strongest possibilities for the Re publican presidential nomination ii. June, will be the principal speaker be fore the Kansas State Bankers as sociation at their annual convention here. Governor to den of Illinois. For more than two week the state bankers have been seeking a date for the Illinois governor. Not until today was it definitely known that LowJen would come to Kansas for the banker meetings. The fact that he will visit this stau ln advance of the Republi can national convention will doubtless tend to centralize muca interest ln his speech here. The Lowden meeting will be open to the public the gov-, V v.i t i ernor probably speakins in the audi- torium according to announcement; toaay oy senator J.

It will not. however, be a strictly partisan speech, altho many of the issues now con fronting the American people will doubtless be discussed. Business Man Candidate. The fact that Governor Lowden Is generally accepted as one of the strong business men considered for the presidency has given interest to hi nHMP rwMiiv amn Kau. ers and business men concerned with national policies of the future. Kan sas has repeatedly heard General Wood, while Senator Harding, of Ohio, is slated for an early speech. Senators Johnson, of California, and Borah, of Idaho, have also spoken in the state. But Kansas has never had an opportunity for close up ob- servation of the Illinois state execu tive. His coming to Kansas for the banker meeting is a matter of state- l wide interest to both bankers and persons concerned with the affairs of candidates whose names will be pre sented in Chicago next June. Free Rein Discussion. In a telegram inviting him to speak In Topeka, Governor Lowden wast as sured he would be given free rein in discussion of public questions. Two hours after the message was sent a reply was received stating that Gov ernor Lowden had accepted the invi tation. Practically every political dopester has during the last few weelcs placed Governor Lowden in the front rank of presidential possibilities. The appar ent uncertainty of the Wood move ment since the first of the year, the tremendous growth of Allen sentiment and the promotion of booms for Sproul, Coolidge. Butler, Harding and other favorite sons has tended to strengthen rather than diminish the Lowden claim, according to the judg ment of the wise observers. The fact that Lowden is coming to Kansas in advance of the national convention and that this state will send a free delegation to Chicago. naturally arouses interest as to the effect of the Lowden visit on presidential senti ment in this state.

TwJns Alu" Lome to Mouse In City Suburb What would you do if you and your husband were all married n'every thing and had settled down to live in a cozy little house with a new white sink, a red geranium in the kitchen window and a nice sleek Tabby cat to sun herself by the red geranium and found out that everyone who had lived in that particular house before had in some way or other had their blessings come in pairs. Here let's whisper it sh-sh every time a baby came, right along with it came an other one, a perfect match, sort of a duplicate shipment, so to speak. Well, there's a house in a Topeka suburb that has that distinction. Since it has been built, three families have established their Lares and Penates there and when they did get "hep" to the fact that it was a double house, figuratively speaking, they moved. Now, a little bride and her husband are living there. They've found out the crushing news. They can't afford to move and they probably couldn't j find a place to move to if they conid. They don't know what to do. But the OTher day came the final straw.

Government Takes Hand Trains Are MoTinsr. and FOOD SUPPLIES THREATENED General Railway Strike Ordered Immediately. Soriet Agitators Are Denounced hy Professional Syndicate. Paris, Feb. 28. A finish fight be tween the government and the strik ing railway workers was indicated to day. During the night the executive council of the National Federation of Railway Men secretly issued an order for a general strike. The strike is ef fective immediately. Railroad strike conditions thruout France were considered near a crisis this morning and belief was expressed that a breakdown of the strike move ment or paralysis of the nation's rail road system would ensue during the day. May Resume Traffic. Operating conditions on the Tans. Lyons Mediterranean line and other roads affected by the walkout of em ployes seemed to be slightly improved last night. Traffic was shown to have increased during the twenty-four hours closing at midnight and it wan believed that mobilization orders eent to men of the Paris. Lyons Mediter ranean and state roads would bring a sufficient force to carry on normal traffic. The "revolutionary' character of the strike as pointed out by Premier Millerand in his address to the cham ber of deputies yesterday apparently had been averted today. The profes sional syndicate of French railway workers issued an appeal denouncing the soviet agitators who early had an nounced their intention to control the lines by Soviets and discharge all workers who refused to Join them. Government Takes Hand. The appeal characterized the at tempt to "produce a state of anarchy" thru stopping food supplies by the strike as a "crime and high social treason." France, the appeal said, has the greatest need for activity by all workers to "raise herself from her ruins." It characterized tire strike as "antl-ratlonal," concluding: "We issued a formal order for all members to continue work." The council of ministers has decided to establish two meatless days a week, should the strike render it necessary. Workers Are Hampered. Public opinion and the press, ex cept in radical circles, were violently opposed to the strike. It was esti mated, however, that the walkout was more than 90 per cent effective in the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean system. There was some service on the eastern lines while in the north service was normal. Suburban lines, which carry thou sands of workers to and from their tasks In Paris, were tied up late yes terday and thousands were forced to seek lodging in the city proper or sleep in the parks. Troops Called Out. Altho the strike order declares that sabotage will not be countenanced, the government immediately ordered troops to Paris to protect railway property and prevent rioting. The government this afternoon an nounced its determination to fight the strike to a finish. Following the is suance of the general strike order, the government gave out a statement or- dering that it inends to ue "vigorous measures to maintain order and take every precaution to prevent violence or industrial Inactivity. The authorities will arrest anyone resisting either the government's mo bilization order, or its order to requi sition motor trucks, pleasure cars and airplanes to keep food supplies and the mails moving, the statement said.

Thousands of persons massed In the streets saw the airplane appear a mere speck acainst the blue sky. Thy saw it become larger and larger, leaving a lone white trail in its wake as it fell.

It was at this time that Major Srhroeder pulled the control Kti'k. The instruments on Major Schroe- irr s machine tell the story of his flight against the elements as he t-limbcrl upward, foot by foot. His thermometer recorded a temperature of 67 degrees below zero. The baro graph reading indicated an altitude of 37,000 feet and when calibrated by 'apt. Harrison W. Flickinger showed an official altitude of 36.020 feet, a new world's record, and a variation of less than 1.000 feet. The- mark set by Major Rchroeder again gives him the record which Ro land Rohlfs won from him On Julv 30. 1 11 S. with an official altitude of 30.300 feet, and later increased in a second flight to 31,000 feet.

She had been in the water n early fifteen minutes and the combined ef forts of Dr. O. F. Marcotte. Dr. Charles Hammond and Dr, J. H. O'Connell, who responded to the call, could not save her. The fact that the city pulmotor is out of repair cost the little girl's life, the parents believe. Fhe was playing in a pile of sand in the backyard of the Simmons home. When Simmons returned from a nearby grocery store, the child was missing. The father went to the creek and, noticing a hole in the Ice. investigated. The child's body was found in three feet of wa ter. Simmons immediately calie d the fire department for the pulmotor.

Wall St., New York, Fb. 28 STOCKS Tbe week end session of the stock market wns listless and uncertain, rails furnishing almost tbe only element of activity and strength. Even in that quarter hesitation was shown by investment shares. Low priced issues of the western and southwest ern divisions, also cosier and cotton car riers mounted to new high prices for the current movement, bnt early gains of 1 to 2 points were reduced lati'r. Oils and mo tors moved within narrow bonnds but steeis and equipments inclined moderately down ward. The closing was irregular. Sales approximated 400.000 shares. Liberty Liberty bonds ana Tictory notes rcnectea further pressure. Gains outnumbered losses at the opening of today's stock market bat the undertone indicated further diversions of speculative sentiment. This was shown by th move ment of rails, some nf which showed recent advances, while others were subjected to realizing- sates or bear pressure.

Fmisnn 1 ca rt it y of corn here with the winter crop movement at an end has piven much impetus this week to price upturns in the corn market. Compared with a week ago, corn qnnttion this mo ruin jt varied from ISc off to 414c advance. Oats were unchanged to VifeVsC higher. Provision dow n lue to 45c. At times all other considerations in regard to corn were eclipsed by the fact that receipts continued scanty and that no big accumula tion in Chicago or any of the leading terminals was now expected, .speculators who had sold corn heavily on account of weakness in sterling exchange anil owing to bearish opinions abont the economic outlook were forced to cover on a rising market. Withdrawal of nn exchange rule that no individual interest in the market should exceed 200,0 bushels, failed to stop advance, which wns further emphasized 1 by official reports of serious damage to winter wheat. Later, however, something of a reaction took place because of gossip that the upturns in values had perhaps been great enough to dislodge rural holdings. Oats were governed by the action of corn. Decreased employment nt the packing houses was apparently significant ot the slowness of trade in provisions. Kansas City Weekly I-ive Stock Market. Kansas City Stock Yards. Feb. 27.

Keoent Republican county conven tions have given endorsements to three of the five candidates for Bis Four places on the national conven tion delegation. L). w. Mulvane of Topeka and Willis J. Bailey of Atchi son are now assured of solid First dis trict delegations to Salina. while Em erson Carey of Hutchinson has the endorsement of the Reno county con vention. Mulvane and Bailey now appear to hold almost certain claims to Bia: Four places, while the two re maining positions will he decided in the I'arey-.Motter-Watson fight at Sa lina, it is believed. fchawnee J-Tont is Strong. Shawnee county's big delegation of forty-two members the strongest in the. state convention will be solidly behind Mulvane and liailev. Oh the other hand the Atchison delegation as well as delegations from the remain ing First district counties are expected to cast their entire votes for these men. With the strength which they are known to carry in the other dis tricts, their selection at the Salina convention seems practically assured. Emerson Carey's success in land ing the support of the Seventh dis trict delegation will largely determine his claim to one of the four places. H. H. Motter, Republican state chair man, is one of the five claimants for position. His home county, Johnson, has not held its convention. W. W. Watson of SVlina must also await ac tion of Fifth and Sixth district con ventions before his position in the fight is generally determined. Just at tjis time Mulvane and Bailey appear safely over the line with two other places to be determined in the race among the three remaining candi dates. Pomcroy and Roberts from First. Viewed from the action of early First district conventions. Senator Frank Pomeroy of Jackson county and Frank Roberts, Oskaloosa newspaper man, seem to hold a rather positive claim on the two district delegation places. Jefferson county "has neve sent a del egate to a Republican national con vention. Not since 1908 has Jackson county been represented in the con vention. Early returns from over the First district and dope of the wise ob servers lesve little doubt that Pom eroy and Roberts will win the two places. The First district convention is the first to be held in the state. Republi can delegates from the eight First dis trict counties w-ill meet in Topeka, March 17. That every Kansas delegate may be free and in a position to aid the pros pective boom for Governor Allen for the presidential nomination, all of the congressional conventions as well as the state convention, will safeguard instructions or endorsements. It is the desire of Governor Allen's friends and the shrewd Republican workers of the state to send a free delegation of twenty men to Chicago in June. "In event there is an opportunity to place Governor Allen on the -national ticket and that opportunity now looms mighty big the Kansas delega tion will be effective If it is not bound by action of conventions back home." said a Republican leader today. "If the governor's name goes before the convention we want to be in a posi tion to help. The measure of our help will lie in our freedom of action. The next presidential nominee will be named in Chicago and probably 90 per cent of the delegates will go to the convention with a view of selecting the strongest man as Boon as they are convinced a favorite son cannot win." lon't Want the Job. There is a decided dearth of can didates for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. Running against Senator Curtis is always hard and difficult. This year he probably looms up stronger in state politics than at any time in his career in Washington. In consequence none of the ambitious Bourbons desire the hollow honor of spending their time and money trying to win the election. Perhaps they have not forgotten his wonderful race of 1914 when he de feated the late George A. Neeley at the polls in the Curtis-Murdock-Xeeley conrtest. George H. Hodges, former governor, has courteously declined all invita tions to run. j So has Sanv Amidon ot Wichita, Democrat national commit teeman. Ed Hackney has been men tioned, but somehow he doesn't en thuse. Another effo.t to find a candi date will be made when the Demo crats hold their state convention in Wichita April 22 CLOTHES A KNOCK OUT Sporting Editor Tolls of Xew Spring Styles Just as If He Know.

Arthur, Anderson, a negro, today was granted a judgment for $5,000 against Jess Mullinix. a white- man. for malicious prosecution. The Mul linix family have been county charges at various times and while the Judg- ment was being rendered upstairs in the district court Floyd Mullinix, 14 j year-old son of Jess Mullinix, was be- ing examined in probate court for $e- culiar actions. The father, Jess Mullinix. and Judge Gaw discussed the feasibility of send ing the boy to the school for the fee ble minded at Winfield. A decision probably will be reached Monday. Testimony introduced showed the Mul linixes were in destitute circumstances at their home, 615 Locust street. The malicious prosecution suit brought in district court by Elisha i nrrpsf of Anderson on a charee tre- ferred by Mullinix in which the hus band claimed that Anderson, who owned a farm on which Mullinix was a tenant, assaulted Mrs. Mullinix. At the preliminary hearing in the court of Topeka, Judge Had M. Lee dismissed the case on account of the rambling story told by Airs. Mullinix. Hugh Fisher, county attorney, approved of the judge's action. Next, the Mullinix family was heard from out at Tecumseh. where accord ing to officials investigating they were living in destitute circumstances in a tent. One night the postoffice was burglarized at Tecumseh and a bare foot boy's footprints were discovered in front of a window which had been broken in. These footprints led to the Mul linix tent. The boy instantly con fessed that he had entered the store. He told Bob Miler, undershiff, and E. O. Halock, postoffice inspector, that he had met two horse traders the night before who promised him all the candy he could get out of the store if he would bring them the cash from the cash drawer and a quantity of groceries. Neighbors verified the story of the horse traders in the Ai cinity that day. At the time officers reported the boy's strange actions to the probate court. It was not until this morning, however, that any official hearing was held by Judge Gaw. Again the Mullinix family's condl t'.on came before the public several weeks ago when officials reported de plorable conditions existing in the house. Then the superintendent of schools called on court officials and demanded that some disposition be made of the boy, who, he claimed, had by his actions, embarrassed girls in the school, according to Kate King and Kilmaurs King, humane officers. This finally resulted in Judge Gaw calling the boy before him toda. "Winning my judgment apparently is what one would call a non-compensatory house," said Scott today. EAST SIDE NOTES.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 MARCH IN TOPEKA It Is Beginning of Spring: in Kan mh Hard TinK! ot Year on Fruit Buds. NEW AUTO TOPS BUILT. HERE Ily S. V. Flora, U. S.a Meteorologist. March is the beginning of spring in Kansas, but fully deserves its, reputa tion for being a changeable month, as shown by the 32 years' record com piled by the weather bureau. Twice in that period it has averaged milder than April following and twice colder than February preceding. In 190 it was colder than any month of the winter preceding, while several times in the past 32 years the mercury has gone above the 90 degree mark. On Mnrch 4. 1891, a minimum of 1 de cree below zero was recorded at To l.eka. which is the only instance on the local record, however, when the temperature this time of the year has been as low as zero. The normal afternoon temperature of March ranges from j degrees the fore part to 60 degrees the latter part pnd the low mark of the night from -'4 degrees the fore part to 39 degrees the latter part. March has the reputation of being the windiest month of the year, but the records show that, in Kansas at l"ast, April surpasses it. It also de serves tardy credit for having more sunshine than any of the winter months and fully as much as April. Measureable precipitation falls at Topeka on an average of one day in four during March and the total for the month averages 2.29 inches, which Is almost twice the normal for Feb ruary. In the past 25 years snow lias covered the ground on an average of four dav during this month and some, of the heaviest amounts ever recorded have fallen at this time or the year. March, In 1900, there was 18.4 inches) or snow on ins giuuuu en time. Sometimes March is mild, sun shiny, and almost balmy, but, while this is fine weather for comfort and coal piles, it la about the worst brand possible foY fruit buds, which are forces ahead of the season to be en dangered by late freezes, and for wheat, which requires cool, damp weather at this time of the year to make the right kind of growth and tool properly. As a rule it is possible to do a great deal of pring plowing in Kansas this month, plant the early potatoes, and now most of the oat. Grass nearly always greens up under the influence of the mild weather. Sometimes corn planting is begun in the southeastern counties and peaches, plums and apri cots bloom in that section.

"Now I wonder." said a woman in a West side neighborhood, as she peeped from behind the draperies at the living room windows and looked out across the street at a big ambulance parked in front of a neighbor's house. "I wonder," she continued, her fingers deftly rearranging the rumpled cur tain, "who's sick over there. Yester day when I ran in to borrow that cup of coffee, they were all well. Gra cious me." she said as suddenly the thought struck her, "what if they have ih. fin then I've been exposed." She hurried to the 'phone and called the next door neighbor, momentarily expecting to see white clad attendants come slowly out carrying the prostrate form of the poor victim on Krticiin. "No." said the West side woman as she hung up the receiver and hurried back to the watching place, "she doesn't know who's sick eitner, dui sne a buii.b to watch too." Still the ambulance siooo. meit. "My I wonder if tney couia nave died and she flew again to me pnone to find out whether or not any one down the block Knew 01 inn mi""' ous ambulance. In about forty-five minutes the whole neighborhood knew that there was a big ambulance standing in front of Mrs. So-and-so's house. From two kitchens an aroma of burning potatoes seeped out. At one back door the gro cermantknocked and knocked and finally laid the porterhouse on the back steps where' the pup found it. A few doors down tne mre" i.iio hear an infant willing to receive a lit tle attention howling in vain. Tha lookout committee first decided that the woman was Bick, then they thought It must be the man of the house, and then horror of horrors, one perfectly awful catty one, tnougm maybe it was a clandestine love affair, going on right under their very eyes. But, canea. Dae nei- 111. neighbor, who was also on tne in formation committee, "wnat ooes ne come in an ambulance for?" Finally the door 01 tne nouns opened. A man came out, .lumpen Into the car end drove away. Then it was that some one remembejred that the woman's brother, who usually came home for lunch at this time, had a new Job. He was tne amDuiance driver. "Hump," sniffed the West side woman, as sne cut up tne scorcnea Vinllerl nntatoee nreparatory to frying them in an endeavor to dull the burnt taste. "Hump," she ejaculated again as she pulled a struggling and black looking infant out of the- coal hod, and reached for a clean pair of rompers. Ottawa 43, Norpial 34. Emporia, Kan., Feb. 28.

As a matter of fact, three years were consumed before we were satisfied that our original purpose had been fully achieved. The verdict which we ourselves, rendered has now been confirmed by the judgment of the motorist. Owners of the five-passenger Paige Glenbrook have found its six-cyl--inder motor not only exceptional in power and speed, but also a revelation in dependability and economy. The Glenbrook is distinctly a Paige car in beauty as well as mechanical excellence It was recognized at once as such. And, as an invest ment value, it is acknowledged,to be without equal in the light six field. Essex.Six'tf; Larchmor.t, Six-yj; Genbroo, Six'41.

Lamb as Individuals, Not as an Organization. Editor Topeka State Journal: Referring to an article that, ap peared In your paper February 14, headed, "Lamb a Martyr," we, the Herington Central Labor union, would ask you to kindly make the following corrections: Under this heading you state that Mr. Larnb is the victim of one of the most bitter boycotts ever enforced in Kansas: also that labor interests here have directed a ban on his store. This is not true, as the Herington Central Labor union, embracing twelve unions, has taken no action whatever against Mr. Lamb, either personally, finan cially or in any other way. Any per son or persons who have stopped tradins at Lamb's store have done it as individuals and not at the request of any labor body. Another statement in this article, which we take exception to is, "Almost every train to Topeka and Wichita, thru Herington, Is loaded with wives of railroad men and other employes who enjoy railroad pass privileges. This statement is very misleading, as it im plies that more peoplo are leading this town and going to other towns to buy goods than did before Mr. Lamb voted for the Industrial court bill, and this is not true. It is true that quite a few people go to Topeka and Wichita to buy goods, but they have bccndoing that for the past six or seven years. If .Mr. Lamb and a few more of the merchants of this town would setl their goods at the same prices that the merchants in Topeka and Wichita sell their goods, there would not be so many go out of town to do their buy ing. Also, in regard to this statement of so many people riding passes, upon cheeking'up the re2ords at the round house. w found that the number of passes issued during January and Feb ruary, 19J0, Is practically the same as was issued during Jiai.ary and Feb ruary, 1019. In. this article it is also stated that Lamb came to Topeka with an open mind as regards the industrial court bill. We wish to inform you that be fore Mr. Lamb left Herington for To peka in discussing this bill with cer tain members of the Herington Cen tral Labor union, he stated that he had an amendment in mind, to the effect, that when a labor dispute arose, it should be taken to the industrial court and if no settlement reached, a cer tain time should elapse and then be taken up the second time, and still if no settlement reached it should Vie taken up the third time, and if no set tlement reached then, the men would have the privilege of striking. This amendment he said he was going to offer, but he did not keep his word, and never offered the amendment. He also told members of the Herington Central Labor union that he would not vote for the bill but would vote against it. This would seem to indi cate very clearly that Mr. Lamb did not go to Topeka with an open mind. This article also states that Mr. Lamb's store had been the first in town to unionize and give recognition to a clerks' union. This article is very misleading as it gives your readers the impression that Lamb's clerks are or ganized, while the truth of. the matter is, they were organized several years ago and then disbanded, and today Mr. Lamb's clerks are not organized. Also the article stated that Lamb had supported the railroad unions in Prince of Topeka Boosters, W. A. Biby, Leaves Monday i Capital City Loses One of Ablest Speakers, Most Thoro Organizers and a Most Progressive. Citizen. i i i r 'III "Blng Bang Bill" Biby, prince of Topeka boosters, the city's "chief good fellow," a dynamo of energy and steam and pep, leaves Monday for his new home 1 n Hollywood. Bill once said to a friend, "that where there was one man in an audience gritting his teeth over my hanalirfg of the English language there were nine men who were with me heart and soul. The nine men are and always will be my friends." A a Ano rt n lari,. fflti!v Ttlhv for Cal. Altho ft resident many years was the family's -source of Topeka only five of support.

Biby will engage in public work on the Pacific coast. He is preparing now for long drives in San Francisco and Los Angeles. "I have been taken off my feet by the sensations of this campaign years of his active life he has been recognized as one of the ablest speak ers, the most thoro organizers and the most progressive citizen in the capital city. Identified in every movement for the city's welfare. leading in every war drive during the dark days of the recent past, ready and willing in every lorwara movement, w. A. Bibv has been an important factor In the life i work." Biby said a few days ago. "I oi tne nansas capital. Biby is working until the last min ute before his departure. In this last week he has been at the head of five "drives" and when he steps on the westbound train for the sunset trail Monday evening, he will have washed his slate a slate that has been filled with marks of progress and advance ment. "Bing Bang Bill's" most valuable asset has been his ability to get to the people. Fortifying his short grammar school education with years of hard work and experience and wits, he has absorbed a remarkable insight into the feelings and desires and likes and dislikes of the public. In his public speeches in Topeka. he has enjoyed a happy faculty of bringing out the points of greatest Interest and fascina tion to the average man and the aver age woman. "I have always gone on the theory." am happiest when working with the people for a worthy cause. Out in California I am Joining the old family circle once more. My mother still sits at the head of the table. That is all that takes me from Topeka. W. A. Biby, for many years, was national treasurer of the Knights and Ladies of .Security. He was instru mental in locating and building up the- home and hospital that has been started just west of Topeka. As a leader in war drives ar.d charity work he has been without an equal in To peka. It is with sincere regret that To peka loses William A. Biby. The city, as a whole, recognizes his departure as a distinct loss. His disposition, his temperament, his ability, his energy, his wholesome outlook on life, his general makeup Topeka loses with concern. S'long. Bill, take keer a yerself! Herington and that he had given his money to railway men benefits. We have taken this up with various unions and various union men and are un able to find where Mr. Lamb gave one penny toward railroad unions. Herington Central Labor Union, by Ij. W.

Mr. Webster would 'turn over In his grave" if he were able to cast his eye along: the pages of the modern dic tionaries. The "New Dictionary of the English Language," published re cently by P. F. Collier Son of New York, contains thousands of words that have been spoken so frequently in America the last few years that they have become officially incorpor ated into the book -ianguage of the nation. Suppose Mr. "Webster were to be told that Ty Cobb knocked out a Texas Leaguer. Then suppose he was In formed that the center fielder in scooping up the ball pulled a bone head. Fancy a friend of Mr. Webster telling him that So-and-So was a four flusher and a dead-beat. Again imagine a conversation with Noah containing the words "affinity," "ca hoots' "rubber-neck," "jitney," "cop," "booze "bluffer," "piker," "Joy-ride" and "peevish." A Topekan has been studying the new product of the lexicographer. He finds that this new volume admits the necessity of using such words owing to general use in the news papers. He has picked out the following words and partial meanings, just as examples and samples; MUG the face. SCRAP to engage in a scrimmage.

Mabel Norman d, star in Goldwyn pictures, was born in Atlanta, Ga. When j-he went lo Xew York, it was to study art. and not to be a cinema artist. During her early stay in New York, she attracted wide attention as an artist's model and later played a short engagement in a musical comedy. Here she discovered her histrionic ability and applied at the Vitagraph studios. Her vivacity and beauty im mediately secured an engagement for her: after appearing in several pro ductions, she linked her fortunes with the old Biograph company, under the direction of D. W. Griffith. At the conclusion of the engage ment, she joined the Mack Sennett forces and scored a nation-wide hit in Keystone comedies. When Goldwyn entered the field, Samuel Goldwyn persuaded Miss Nor mand to join his forces and under the Goldwyn banner, she has achieved her most nota ble success, appearing in a series of broad comedy produc tions that have earned her the recogni tion as the screen's greatest come dienne. Her most recent Goldwyn pictures are "Peck's Bad Girl," "A Perfect 36." "Sis Hopkins," from the world famed Rose Melville stage success, and "The Pest." Miss Normand will be at the Orpheum in a few days in her latest and best success, "Jinx." Be sure and aee "Jinx," it's a great picture for the grown-ups and the children are going to be glad you took them too. The Town's Proud. "Lincoln, Neb., has three men that she may well be proud of." writes Schumann-Heink. "She possesses the three originals of 'First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen for Pershing is a Lin coin man; Bryan, the great com moner has a beautiful estate just outside the city, and the third of the three titles belongs to Thurlow Lteu rence, for not only Lincoln honors him but the greatest musicians of the world look to him as a most able com poser and an authority on the music of the American Indian."

Then past performances are such that It needs little talk from me. On March, the --ml, we have another big treat. Julia Sanderson and old Joe Caw thorn. Think of it. They don't make better actors.

PIERSEN ANUFACTURING C m(A Kansas Corporation) CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK PAR VALUE $10 PER SHARE The State of Kansas has never seen a more attractive investment opportunity than is offered right here in Topeka. The Piersen Manufacturing Company is a great industrial institution. It is manufacturing two great labor-saving devices. The products of the Company are Piersen Transmitters and "Superior Piersen" gasoline motors. Of such quality are these products and so great is the demand for them that the Company is "swamped with orders." Approximately THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS' worth of bona fide orders are now on hand. New orders are coming in with increasing rapidity. Present factory facilities are in adequate to care for this tremendous volume of business. The Company must immediately increase the size of its present factory building. New machinery must be immediately installed. More workmen must be placed on production. All these things cost money. The Company has increased its work ing capital and is offering a limited amount of its securities for sale. This money will be used to secure the tremendous production which is urgently needed. These securities represent the FIRST PREFERRED STOCK of the Company. They are amply secured by the Company's assets. They are now selling at PAR which is $10.00 PER SHARE. 10. piVIDENDS ARE CUMULATIVE FROM DATE OF ISSUE. CLASS A STOCK is also participating.

THE PIERSEN MANUFACTURING COMPANY Topeka, Kansas. LOST: 12 WEEKS! Enforced Tacations Play Havoc M ith City Schools. Four of Them "Given" In Eleven School Months. FLU AND FUEL FAMINE CAUSE How to Make Up Time Missed Is Problem. Say "Holiday Cloudburst" Xot Popular Even With Pupils. Reopening of the Topeka public schools Monday February 23, marked the end of the fourth enforced vaca tion for the pupils and teachers within eleven school months. Twelve weeks of school is the total of the vacations made advisable by the influenza epi demic and the fuel shortage during the present school year and the term of 1918-1919. How the "Game" Began. The first closing of schools during last year's school term began October 9, when it was thought best to close the schools to prevent the increase of the influenza cases then existing in alarming numbers. For four weeks there was no school, long enough for the knowledge gained in the first three weeks of the term almost to be forgotten. The first vacation of last year ended with Armistice day, pupils and teachers going "back into the har ness on November 11. A little more than two weeks after school activities were renewed and when they were beginning to run smoothly, trm, second wave of the in fluenza epidemic gripped the country. It was particularly severe i-i Topeka, arid, after much deliberation as to the advisability of allowing another inter ruption in the school calendar, it was .decided again to send teachers and (pu pils home as a safeguard to their health. The second vacation of last year was of three weeks' duration. Easily remembered by every one is I the cause of the first enforced vaca Wifiil OMPANY tion of this year, when schools, I churches, theaters and many other j 1 1 1 u 1 1 jiaLca ntic viuacu fin a. icaun of scarcity of fuel due to a nationwide strike of coal mirvers. Schoolhouses were -cold and uninhabited for three weeks, beginning November 26 and ending January 5, the period includ ing the regular Christmas vacation. The fourth and it is hoped by school officials and teachers (pupils' views net stated) the last enforced vacation began February 9 and con tinued until February 23 as a precau tionary measure In another influenza epidemic. Th,e problem of how the school work losr in the enforced holidays can De made up never has been solved successfully. A half hour was added to the school day last year following the vacations, but the plan did not prove adequate to the task of making up the work of so many days lost. Won't Lengthen School Day. "We have not decided the means of making up the time lost from school courses this year thru our unex pected vacations," Principal R. R. Cook of the high school said today. "JVe shall not add any time to the usual school day as that plan has not proved practical. "The method of having school on Saturday 'has been suggested, but is not favored by school officials. Dur ing the war many schools of the coaji try held classes" on Saturday in ordef to shorten school terms and allow boys and girls to be of use earlier on the farms and in oth.er work im portant to the winning of the war. But schools that tried that plan are unanimously against any repetition of the six-day school week. It tires teachers and pupils and lowers their efficiency, the claim. Teachers must have time for extra work on Saturday and for recreation, and pu pils need one week day for outside work and diversions." The second semester of this school year will have but fifteen weeks in stead of the usual eighteen. If the work missed during the influenza closing period is omitted altogether, the pupil's foundation is weakened and his standing as a student will suffer when next year's work is un dertaken, teachers say. "It is hoped the schools have had the last interference with their regu lar program," Mr. Cook declared. "The irregularity of school work has not been so popular with teachers or with pupils, either as might be sup posed." i AT THE THEATERS (Continued from preceding page.) At the Isis. Distinct noveity characterizes Lew Cody's latest Robertson-Cole release, "The Beloved Cheater." All of the time-honored customs of the stage and screen are shattered, lor here, in stead of the dark lady with the sinu ous form proving an unconquerable attraction to all the male members of the cast, we have a man whd is un able to prevent palpitations of the various feminine hearts. Not only do we have this unusual character, but there is a most unusual situation. We have reformers in our midst at all times some of them have proclaimed to the world at large that they were opposed even to kiss ing. We have pictured the members of this cult fts having long hair, or short, according to the sex, and being generally undesirable as objects of osculation. But In "The Beloved Cheater" there is a most beauteous maid with very kissable lips who has bepn converted to these radical ideas. And she be comes engaged. And the man fool ishly promises never to kiss her But he is afraid to take any a.dvice and act like a. caveman. Instead, he begs his friend to teach his fiancee how to kiss. How the girl is converted and falls In love and out again how the game of hearts is tangled and snarled and how "The Beloved Cheater" finally decides that he would rather have all the comforts of Jioms without,any of the responsibilities provides a most enjoyable vehicle for Lew Cody's original personality. This thrilling picture and Patne News will be shown at the Isis theater the first three dys of next week. Most of the screen vampires now want to "reform" in their screen work. Perhaps they have been looking at some of their pictures. Those schools that improve your memory by mail could get a lot of good suggestions from certain vaude ville acts. Odd but true facts. Some of the most successful blackface comedians never saw the South. Most of the successful writers of Irislj songs are Hebrews. That the best impersona tors of old men are under thirty-five. Seems strange, doesn't it? At the Novelty. A big gala week of high-class vaude ville at the Novelty, the first three days will find one of the very best bills of the entire season, headed by The Trail of the Octopus" the thir teenth episode of the real serial of mvsterr. Followed by rive big feature vaudeville act that will appear In the order named.. JOB MELVIN Iri a unique comedy act consisting of hat Juggling, hoop rolling, sensational Dlabolo and boom erang throwing. MAURICE BRIERRE and GRACE KING known to vaudeville as "The Little Girl From Boston and the Boy From New Orleans, contribute a live lv bit of entertainment with their of fering of exclusive songs, dancing and impersonations which they put over in a most delightfully refreshing manner. THE LOUIS BROCADES 18 a mixed quartet of talented artists who are rot only wonderful singers with remarkable voices, but unusually ac complished musicians who present a musical novelty that for artistic tem perament. pictures.queness and class is unquestionably a most pretentious of fering. JOE WHITEHEAD For a new comer in our midst the comedy jester, Whitehead has certainly created a favorable impression, in fact, he has already established himself as a laugh getting fa write. THE AEROPLANES GIRLS are two charmingly pretty maids who pre sent one of the most stunning and beautiful acts in the acrobatic line ever seen in vaudeville. Billed as "Tlie Up-to the Minute Sensation," this duo of pretty damsels perform one of the mest intricate and sensa tional feats on trapeses. This will elose a really and truly good vaude ville bill, one well worth seeing. A new movie just advertised for re lease "The Inner Voice." Maybe it's a story about a ventriloquist's love for his dummy. The collaborators of "Listen Lester" have just finished a new show to be produced by John Cort with Ada Mae Weeks in the lead. The new piece Is called "Sweet Stuff." This was the song hit title in "Listen Lester." The new' play "Abraham Lincoln" is the big sensation in New York. Geraldine Farrar and Lou Tellegen, her husband, will appear together on the speaking stage this spring. Miss Farrar will abandon her spring con cert tour for this engagement. It Is looked upon as one of the big events in theatricals this season. Ropers Coming. Will Rogers, former Z'egfeld Follies' star, comes to the Orpheum the last half in his latest Goldwyn photoplay, "Jubllo," adapted from the story by Ben Ames Williams, directed by Clar ence Badger. Remember lovable, human Will in "Almost a Husband." You'll find him even more irresistible and human in "Jubilo." He plays the part of a dyed-in-the-wool hobo a member of the ancient and honored Society of Worknots whom loire transforms into a Prince in patches. I It's from the famous Saturday Even ing Post story ot the same name. A homespun romance of" plain people and rich hearts. Laughs and chuckles mixed with the tears in the most de lightfully human j photoplay you've seen in a long time. The Shuberts will feature little Frances White next season in her own musical comedy. It is reported this week that Gold wyn Film corporation has purchased tne capital theater in New York. The CapUal is the largest theater in the w-orld and is one of the big deals in the picture game of the year. The Capital has a seating capacity of five thousand. Sam Harris has entered Into a deal with Goldwyn whereby he secures a block of stock in the concern and will turn over the picture rights to the plays he controls. They -do not include the George M. Cohan play a Clianning Panning. Channing Polleck, -the playwright, plainly shocked the members of the Browning society In Philadelphia at its recent meeting and took an awful wallop at the stage, producers and managers In hia lecture on "Psychol ogists and the State Today." His listeners first tittered, then followed, "Ohs," "Ahs" and even "Oofs," as he hurled barbed shafts in all directions. There is less psychology than physi ology on the American stage today." spake Pollock. "There are" fewer lines said than lines -displayed and the onlv uplift is the kind jot uplift in- I vested by Flo Ziegfeld. There is no j such thing as 'an art of the drama.' "Of all the theatrical managers who crowd New York, only six have read a book in their lives. Those six are bankrupt. Most of the Impresarios are graduated cloak and suit dealers, furriers and window washers. 1 "The other day one of them heard that Oliver Twist would make a good moving pictuoa and he said to his agent. 'Cable that guy Dickens for the American rights.' i John Drew has just opened in his newest plav. "The Catbird." Making a big impression in the east. A new play will shortly be in re hearsal in which Hale Hamilton and Grace LaRue will be starred. Elsie Ferguson -jill return to the speaking stage in a short time. Goldwyn's I.uck. Mauric'e Maeterlinck the Belgian poet, novelist, essayist and playwright, has signed a contract to write one original story a year for the Goldwyn Pictures corporation. The author of The Bluebird" and its sequel. 1 ne Betrothal," who came to America on a lecture tour, has never before been personally associated with "the actual production of motion pictures. In the arrangement made between trie poet and the Goldwyn organization, m. Maeterlinck Will write one story a year, and will co-operate wirn me studio staff in the presentation of his work. M. Maeterlinck will leave to: the Goldwyn studios in Culver city, Cal., within a few days to learn the technique of photoplay production. The author will travel in a private car furnished by the Goldwyn corporation. and will stop at various cities en route to tell of his venture into a field of authorship new to him. Altho M. Maeterlinck has never written directly for the screen, he has always entertained definite opinions about its possibilities as a medium for the wide diffusion of ideals of beauty and of other standards of life. Shortly after signing his contract with Gold wyn company, M. Maeterlinck gave out the following statement: It seems to me that America does not give the motion picture the artistic importance it merits. People seem to consider it an inferior type of art form. In my opinion, however, its poten tialities re unfathomable, for it can teach in terms of beauty and of ideals in a manner not to be found in any other medium of expression. I feel myself fortunate In being allied with so great a motion picture concern as Goldwyn, an lnstitulton that shares these Ideals and is bend ing Its efforts to elevate the artistic level of the motion picture. And I am happy to find an organization willing to extend the means of initiating myself Into the technique of this new art. Under Its auspices, I am under taking this trip to California. "I hope that by working with the Goldwyn organization and studying seriousl the technical questions in volved in motion picture production to be able to arrive at results which will have the greatest interest for all."

Tearing her clo.hes from her and threatening to kill her near Oakland one night. "Getting a razor and sleeping with her, threatening that if she opened her mouth he would cut her throat. "Forcing her to use a box for a table, boxes for chairs and other pieces of furniture until she went to work and purchased the furniture herself. "Becoming diseased."

END OF EIGHT YEARS MISERY Used Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Recovered. mm Newark, N. J. "The doctor said I had an organic trouble and treated me tor several weeks. At times I could not walk at all and I suffered with m y back and limbs so I often bad to stay in bed. I suffered off a n d on for eight years. Finally I heard that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound was a good medicine and tried it with splen did effect. I can now do my house work and my washing. I have recom mended your Vegetable Compound and your Blood Medicine and three of my friends are taking them to advantage. You can use my name for a testimonial. -Mrs. Theresa Coventry, 75 Burnett St., Newark, N. J. Yon are invited to write for free advice No other medicine has been so suc cessful in relieving woman's suffering as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Women may receive free and helpful advice by writing the Lydia E. Pinkh am Medicine Co., Lynn. Mass. Such letters are received and answered by women only and held in strict eonfidence. I Every woman may be "just herself" this season, according to a fashion authority. For the sylphlike or for the stout woman there is a modish gown. Straight line gowns are hold ing their own with the frilly, bouffant types of frocks being introduced this spring. Little Miss Springtime will make her formal debut on Monday, but for many days Miss Spring time's press agents the smart togs for the new season have been issuing in vitations to the coming debut and enticing maids and matrons to array themselves in the newest and prettiest of the shops' offerings. In all the inviting corners in Topeka where feminine garments are displayed. The Gadabout finds prospective buyers admiring their re flections as they promenade in a clever suit or one of the smart spring gowns. They're pleasant reflections, all right. "I'm not going to have a new blouse to wear with my spring suit," an nounced an attractive Topeka girl. "How can you get along without a new one?" a girl friend asked skep tically. "Well, that good-looking rose and blue georgette blouse of mine I didn't think would ever look well again took .a trip to the Mutual laundry. It was dry cleaned and is so bright and new looking that I shall wear it this spring," was the enthusiastic answer. "Mother says they're the best dry cleaners she knows of. She's going to send all our household draperies there for cleaning this spring." "You vanit? me," "Tiger Rose" said to the Irish military policeman who made love to her, in the play that To pekans saw this week. The Gadabout has learned that Miss Addis can "van ity" any girl who likes to keep her nose powdered and who admires a shiny nose with a cunning gold van ity case fitted with tiny gold powder can, a chamois and mirror. The ador ing suitor who spends endless amounts lor Diossoms tor his lady love should consider these van ity cases as a token of affection. They're only ten dollars. They'll last for years. Perhaps such a desirable gift will make the Charminsr One willing to put on an engagement or wedding ring. If so consult Miss Ad dis as to stones, workmanship and the ring's suitability for the wearer. The Gadabout realizes that "flu" jokes are not funny to everyone but there are not many who do not have a good laugh over this one: A man had been ill for a long time and was cared for by his wife who was strong and well, never having been III in Tier lite.- The man died and when he arrived in Heaven the first person he saw there was his wife. He was amazed. "How did you-get here?" -ha asked. "Flu," she explained. There's a delightful new name for the little mirror. powder puff, lip stick and other dewdads that women carry around in their handbags, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It's "vamping utensils." In a bright sunny room on the sec ond floor of Mrs. Courtney's millinery shop six girls are taking the Margaret Bell millinery course under Mrs. at Warren M. I Courtney's direction. They are learn ing Lilts Jiuiiiuci a an aiaj; auu thoroly. Four weeks' instruction for ten dollars is the plan of the Margaret Bell course. A charming matron served tea one afternoon last week. In keeping with the dainty tea serv ice was such a pretty tea cloth with napkins to match, which the hostess herself had made. The tea cloth and napkins were embroidered in blue and blue crochet work fin ished the edge. They're of good quality linen and the set is only $3.25 or $4.25. stamped ready for working, Crosby's. Tho men often declare their prefer ence for the demure and simple maid, the vogue for her is passing, accord ing to some "modern verse" brought to Topeka from New York by a well known young man who recently vis ited there. The "poetry" has been the cause of many an argument over what type of girl is most admired. The gem is hereby published so that all who care to may get into the discussion: "Sam's girl Is tall and slender My girl is short and low. Sam's girl wears sUks and satins My girl wears calico. Sam's girl is fast and speedy My girl is sweet nnd good Would I change my girl for Sam's girl? You're darn right I would." The heather colors used in wool hosiery are now produced in silk hose. The Gadabout's eyes fairly looked a hole thru the show case when she was told that the pretty heather colored silk hose are only $1.75. If you don't believe they're good looking go and see them your self at the Palace. They have some beautiful hand embroidered silk hose many women are admiring. In the French room at Mrs. Court- of the prettiest spring hats that ever came to lopeKa. uia you Know mi Mrs. Courtney not only does retail business but business "by the whole sale," too. "Shoes for $5.85 good looking shoes no it can't be." The Gadabout thought when she spied the low priced showing' in the window of Payne's Annex. But It is true. Why, at Payne's Annex you can buy a good quality pair of shoes and a three-dollar pair of silk hose and not spend so much as you do for Just the shoes at other shops. The annex is show ing all the new pumps, oxfords and new sailor ties, too. Remember that, and don't forget that Payne's are agents for Black Cat Hosiery, too. The same fragrance enjoyed In a quaint little tea room and in the home of a distinguished friend who enter tains beautifully was noticeable when The Gadabout wandered into George Stansfield's store. It comes from Van tine's Temple Incense. At Stansfield's It was burning In one of the new antique finished Oriental incense burn ers. Have you a little Incense burner in your home? You'll find them at Stans field's in antique, brass or bronze finish, 50 and 75 cents. There is an indescribable feel ing of coziness and comfort, a sense of delicious well-being that comes from the thin curl of fragrant smoke. Advertisement. SING AND DANCE AT ISIS.
