Washington, March 11. The senate may vote today on ratification of the peace treaty with reservations. Leaders expected to "get down to brass tacks" on the reservation of Ar ticle X. "When the Lodge reservation to this article or some substitute for it has been incorporated in the reso lution of ratification, the way will have been cleared for the vote. Decision was to be reached today on whether the compromise reservation on Article X, worked out by .Senators simmons and Watson, would be of fered in the senate this afternoon or abandoned. Situation Is Confused. With senators on both sides of the treaty ratification fight disregarding the plans of their party leaders their desire to reach a compromise on the much disputed Article X, the sit uation today appeared hopelessly con fused. Tacit agreement was reached to forego a vote until something like order was restored in the conflicting negotiations. fueservation Republi cans and Reservation Democrats have joined forces against irreconcilable foes of the treaty who have gone gun ning for the compromise reservation to Article Ten which was to have been presented in the senate yesterday but which their opposition forestalled. The split in the Democratic ranka has widened as a result of determina tion expressed by some members of the minority to give active support toward acceptance of the best compro mise possible. Republicans claim that 32 Democratic votes can be mus tered for the substitute reservation to Article Ten. DISCUSS CJJF C. PLANS Smoker Will Be Held in Chamber's Rooms Tonight.

Hopkins, attorney gen eral, today kicked a hole in the polit ical dope sheet when he denied, he would be a candidate for governor in the event Governor Allen won a place on the national ticket. Hopkins as serted his ambition is to secure a sec ond term as attorney general and to complete work which has been start ed In his department. Was "Newspaper Candidate." For several months Hopkins has been listed as a sort of residuary leg atee for the governorship by virtue of the 'ambition" of a Kansas City, Mo., newspaper to select public officials for Kansas state offices. In short there has been a feeling that the Mis souri side plan was to elevate Hopkins to the governorship of Kansas when Governor Allen retired or went on the national ticket. Hopkins s statement i today indicates that all such plans have been side-tracked at least so far as the present. "I'm- not a candidate for governor and don't expect to be," Hopkins as serted today following renewal of re ports that he would run in event Gov ernor Allen is nominated at the t Re publican national convention. "I want a second term as attorney general that I may carry out work already started and dispose of matters now pending. Principal among them is the cement trust case." Out for Icnoraination. "By this." Hopkins supplemented. "I do not want to say that it the gov ernorship were handed to me on a gold or silver platter that I wouldn't ac cept. Yet I am not a candidate and have no tnousnt ot maKins a for the nomination in event Governor Allen is nominated either tor presi dent or vice president." Hopkins is serving his first term as attorney general. His statement today puts him in the race for renomination and re-election and withdraws him from the contest for governor in event Governor Allen is started on the way to official life in Washington.

Wil liams was the fifth American captured by the outlaw in two months, all of whom have been released without the payment of ransom. It was explained in the message Villa succeeded in getting here that only a vague idea of what was' going on in the outside world could be had where he was, and the desire to learn more, to gain the American's point of view and a determination to give op portunity to carry bacft with them some of his own theories of what a government in Mexico should be. had caused him to determine to gather in his guests where he might find them regardless of their willingness to ac cept his invitation. He added that from time to time others would be broughtin but urged those interested not to become alarmed, for it was no part of his plan either to injure them or collect ransom.

Tin game almost a duplication of the first frame .of the series. The Jayhawkers started strong and hal scored fourteen points before the Ag gies connected with a field basket. The Farmers finished the half strong and the sere at the end of the period was 18 to 7. The guarding of the Jayhawkers was close during the en tire half and two of the three Aggie baskets wer made from the center of the field by Hinds and the second by K. Cowell. At the start of the second half the Aggies cut the Jayhawkers lead to seven points before Kansas scored. This was as close as they camo to tying the score. As was the case in the first game the Aggie team work was better than that of Kansas but their rally was cut short when Captain bonbfirj? and Laslett scored from the fliMir. Miller, wh" replaced Harms at forward for the Jayhawkers, added wn goals to the Jayhawker total be fore the end of the game, Captain Ionborg, I'hrlab. and Harms were the Kansas stars, while Hunger and K. Cowell p1a"d the best game for the I'armers. The score: KANSAS. rt. f. r.iiim o linrniH O 0 T hrlaub I I.nft.Mt I,.nhirg Sliller IX THE SQUARED RIMJ Detroit, Mich., March 11. Johnny Sheppard.

BLUE FIVE JOTLAY LEGION Washburn Wins Again From Bethel in J .a si Conference Game. The Washburn basketball team will play a post-season game against the local American Legion five Saturday night in Thomas gymnasium. The Le gion team is composed of former col- s stars and has been practicing hard for several weeks in preparation for a game with the Wichita Legion baketeers. The Ichabods stepped into third place in the Kansas conference Wednesday night when they took the second hard fought game in two days from the Bethel Mennonites, by a score of 37 trt i. The lilue victory takes Bethel from second 1c fourth place and gives St. Mary's claim to the runner-up position. St. Mary's has only played ten games, nine of them at home, however. During the first half the Mennon ites took the lead, 16 to 15. but Wash burn came back strong in the second period, in which the visitors were plainly outclassed.

About thirteen prospective players attended a meeting of base ball men this week. A custom pre vails that athletic shoes, sliding pads and other personal equipment be pur chased by the players. Owing to the H. C. L. of this equipment, the play ers are only half-hearted in their de sire for the game.

IHrector. Waslrlns- ton. I. An unusual number of entries into the quadrennial presidential derby have been anade this year, but never before, perhaps, hs there been so Kreat a scarcity of favorites. At this time it looks like anybody's race with the chances good for outsiders. There are indications that -there will be much Jockeying before the word "go" is given. The crowd appears to be taking little Interest In the event and has not begun seriously to overlook the starters. The only contestant pos sessing a record Is the one from Ne braska. While he rfever has succeed ed In winning a race he has led In the elimination contests and has ahown sufficient speed In the final event to entitle him to second money. The field Is made up almosa wholly of youngsters, many of whom probably merely ure trying for pjace wlthan tys to the future. Among t'evelopments 'of the imme diate future, according to Foltker, the Dutch aeronautic engineer, whose fighting planes assisted the Germans fu long against the allies, are aerial freight trains. It is Fokker's-purpose to design an alrplune that will success fully tow other airplanes carrying freiftlit. The freight carrying planes would not be equipped with engines. The trains would sail along specified routes and at each large town release by an automatic "slipping" arrange ment one of the freight airplane. All the hoboes in the world are expected to fight this innovation as an en croachment on their rights. How could the "weary Willies" obtain a ride. In an aerial box ear?

a -wi ft v- V- A HOlSIftO FLA. Topeka Is but one among many 1 cities which are trying to aolve the I housing problem. Various plans are I

being proposed and some have been tried out successfully. j Poughkeepsle, X. T., believes it is on j the way to an easy solution of the Jif-1 ficulty. It has organized a housing corporation, which has set about rais ing a fund of J4O0.-0OQ, half of this to come from manufacturers and mer chants and the rest from citizens gen erally, on a guaranteed return of six per cent. This fund is to be available for residents who desire to become home owners. If a, man wishes to build a $5,000 house, he can get the money from the corporation at six per cent, after pay ing ten per cent down; that" Is $500. A ,first mortgage of 60 per cent will be taVen by a local bank and a second mortgage 'of 30 per cent by the hous ing corporation. He will pay the loan as rent. He is expeeted to have his home clear in eleven years. It is part of the plan to give home builders the benefit of quantity pro duction, since it is the intention of the corporation to build a thousand dwell ings annually. Plans and specifica tions will be provided with regard to economic construction, yet individual ity will not be disregarded. This plan might prove feasible for Topeka. The business interests should give generous support to the plan, for it ir a perfectly sound business prqpo sli'on. Doubtless there are oppressed rent payers ready to avail themselves ofi assistance to become home owners. This plan would offer an opportunity that any rentpayer should eagerly em brace. Industry would be benefited by the pliin, for it would assist to reduce the labor turnover, a vexing problem for every employer. Thehome owner Is a steadier man than the rentpayer. He Is more responsible, v He is estab7 ltshed. Whoever put such a venture aftot would be doing a big thing for the? city. The initiative might well come from thei Chamber of Commerce. Senator Harding in'his speech In this city declared in favor of volun tary military training. This probably wouldV work about as well as voluntary, school attendance. L,eft to their own choice probably few children would go to ahool fo&- any considerable length of time. While our young men would readily volunteer if fighting were to be done they would not volunteer for training. A CLOG OX. BUSINESS. Congress, having passed a railroad bill fairly satisfactory to the country, seems disposed tto rest on its laurels and leave business to work out its own problems and overcome in such way as it may the other handicaps which the national 'legislature imposed, un der pressure of our war needs. Next to railroad legislation in im portance is a revision of the revenue law. Taxes in this country are now 600 per cent higher than pre-war taxes. -Not-only does this seriously cut off investment In our industries but it adds to the increased cost of living Tletause wherever possible the attempt is made to add these taxes to the price of producing and distributing com modities. The excess profits tax and the excess income taxes have confis cated the ready funds of 400,000 per sona whose large income formerly sup plied the sinews of war in industry. The excess profits and excess in come taxes confiscate earnings need ed to strengthen business concerns, take possession of tho large part of new investment money which has heretofore furnished capital for com mercial and financial development, ex tinguish ambition to extend bii&iness and increase production, and generate business extravagance in paying out profits freely, because otherwise the greater part othem would go. to the tax collector. "Every individual interested in or affected by business, and that means every person in the country," says the Bach' Review, "should urge congress to replace the excess profits tax and the excess income taxes by a scientific tax on sales which would raise prob ably four or five billion dollars a year. This would be easily collected, and would be so widely distributed fin so small amounts that it would not be felt by the consumer, oranybody else." Herbert Hoover has declared that he is not a Repnblican of the Penrose type,, nor a Democrat of the Bryan type. Penrose says Hoover is not a Republican of any type. But in com paring himself with Bryan Mr. .Hoover should not forget that in 1S9V Mr. Bryan received the approving votes of e.SOO.OOO of his fellow countrymen, and nearly equalled this record in 1900, when C.385,000 Americans regis tered their confidence in the silver tongued orator of the Platte. That this confidence was not lost eight years later was demonstrated when Mr. Bryan received the votes of 6,409. 000 Democrats. He was also respon sible for the present chief executive, whom Mr. Hoover appears to approve. Xo Democrat can afford to throw 'stones at Bryan. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC .T. HASRI-V. Director. Washington, V. C. THE SOURCE OF TURT1.E SOUP. Key West, Fla., Match 5. A -stench of dead fish that carries a mile. Old j Kray rotUna; wharves Burrounded by i brightly tainted sailboats and a harbor ,of vivid tropical blue. Mexican,! j Yankee, negro and Italian f:sher;nen I i lounging about and gossiping in their! several tongues. That is the fish and turtle market at Key West, One of the-,e old whan ee is of special intei-ei: Large square holes are cut in its floor, and when yqu ,ook thru these holes you are amlTCd to' see th dirty water below is filled with Riant turtles. Imprisoned within th a"s of the wharf, tlcy swim with lazy, easy grace, the 'strokes of their great flippers suggest ing the wingbeats of eagles. Kvery few minutes each of them comes to the surface and discharges his breath with a mighty sigh, then turns and be gins aga'n "the endless restless ex ploration of his narrow prison. These turtles are just like ordinary mud turtles, except that they are hundred times as large, and that their legs-and feet are simply great seal-like flippers, built exclusively for swim ming. The largest of them are four feet long and' weigh four hundred I pounds, and they range from that s ue I down to young ones not much more than a foot in length. There are three kinds of them the green turtle, of which nearly every one has seen an occasional specimen lying miserably on its back in front of a restaurant as an advertisement of the fact that genuine green turtle soup may be had there; the logger head, which is also regularly sold in the market., tho not so valuable as the green turtle; and the hawk's bill, which carries on its back the material out of which all genuine tortoise-shell articles are-made. These turtles are responsible for the weird looking tortoise-rim spectacles which are so much affected by young ladies who wish to appear inteliactual ex cept when the said spectacles are made of celluloid. This old wharf is one of the most important turtle markets in the coun try. The turtles are for the most part captured far at sea in trap-nets which are set oyer the great submarine pas tures where the turtles feed. Some of them icome from far jdown along the coast of Mexico. The boats bring them in every three or four days, and they are dumped into these little prisons, locally known as the "turtle crawls," to await their fate. Some of them are slaughtered here. Part of their flesh is eaten fresh in local ho tels and restaurants, and part of It is made into soup and canned, for Key West boasts the only turtle soup can nery in the country. Many of them are shipped alive to the great northern cities, there to be cooked for the wealthy epicures who can afford them. The sea turtle has perhaps ss hard a lotas any creature who contributes to the perfection of our civilization.' food, he is very seldom fed after his capture, altho this is occasionally done. When he is to be shipped, he is fished out of the crawl, laid on his back, and thence handled like any other piece of baggage. He lies onr his back for days at a time, pf ten in a broiling, sun on a station platform or in front of the hostelry where -"he is soon to be eaten. It is necessary to keep him on his back, not on4y to prevent him from crawling away, but also because hiB plastron, or under shell. Is so soft that if he is kept right side ut on hurd land the pressure on his vital organs quickly kills him. He is a strictly marine animal, and can be keptj in comfort only in a great tank of sea water. These great reptiles, which are the largest of that family except the al ligators and crocodiles, spend their whole lives at sea except for the brief time occupied in laying their eges. 1 The loggerheads, which lay their eggs along the Florida coast, are often captured in the act. The great female turtle is almost helpless on land. She draws herself slowly up the sand Xo a point above high tide mark, scoop out a great hole, lays the eggs in it, and then buries them. Instinct or cunning imnels her to travel such an erratic cour3 to and from-the water that the eggs cannot possibly be found y trailing her. They are often dis covered by hunters who thrust long sticks into the sand. probing for the stores of hidden dainties. For turtle egs are very good to eat, and there are hundreds of them in each nest. Often the great turtle Is capturCTj on the sands, when she is Quite helpless, but defiant none the less. Unable to travel on land more than a mile 3m hour, she makesi no effort to run away, but blows out her breath with a deep, roaring sound, and if a stick comes within her reach, snaps it in two with heij great mandibles, while her beady, snake-like eyes watch every move of her enemies. But all her courage and alertness are useless, for she is easily turned on her back w,ith crow-bars and is then utterly helpress. If the eggs are undisturbed they hatch in about two months. The young turtles crawl into thev shallow inlets where they live until they are large enough to, shift for themselves in the open sea. A large percentage of each brood, is killed by sharks and othe natural enemies before maturity. It is generally believed that these great turtles are veritable cattle of the sea, living exclusively by brows ing upon seaweed and other aquatic vegetation. But, according to Ray mond Ij. Ditmars. a leading American authority on reptiles of all kinds, some that he kept In captivity eagerlv ate fisn He' thinks it is doubtful whether they could catch many fish in a wild state, however, and believes they must be largely vegetarian. The green turtle gets its name from the fact that its fat has -a greenish tinge. It gets to be over three, feet long and weighs as much as four hun dred pounds, but those seen in the turtle market here are mostly from fifty pounds to a hundred and, fifty. One of these turtles ia now worth a great deal of money, the demarrd con siderably exceeding the supply. The shell of the green turtle is very pretty, being mottled with brown, olive or yellow, and often highly polished in old turtles. These shells, however,, are worth nothing except to the tur tles themselves. The hawk's bill turtle Is the most valuable of them all hacause of the nature of its shell. It la also the smallest, being seldom more than two and a half feet long, while most of them are much smaller. Its upper mandible is long and hopked. and gives it its name. Its shell is beauti fully marbled or mottled in black and yellow or rich brown and yellow, hut it is the structure of the shell jrather than itn color which makes it valu able. The carapace, a the upper shell Is called, is made of large scales which overlap each other like shingles. When' this shell is heated, the scales can be peeled off, one by one, and this is the valuable "tortoise shell" of com merce. The operation Is often- per formed on a-rlving turtle, who suffers I a Rood deal of discomfort, but is after ward turned loose again in the belief that he will grow another crop of shelLc "lJitmars says that this belief is at least partially mistaken, as the turtle ofen grows only a thin shell of no commercial value. Dprothy Dix Talks BY DO ROTH T DIX World' Hc best PH' Wemaa Writer. Which Is Worth More, a Wife's or a Husband's Ive? 1. The other day a newspaper con tained accounts 6f two suits that had been brought for alienation of the affections. In one. a wife sued another woman for stealing hef husband's love away from her, and the jury awarded( the plaintiff 92,500 damages. In the other case a husband sued a man for robbing him of his wife's heart, and the Jury assessed the hus band's damages at $10,600. From this it would appear that what is sentimental sauce for the goose is not rich enough sauce for the eandor: that a wife's love for her husband is four times as valuable as his love fov her., and that when he loses her affection he has sustained four times as great a misfortune as a wife does when she loses her hus- band's love. The jury's appraisement of the rela tive value Of masculine and feminine love gives us cause for thought. Yet when we consider the difference be tween the quantity of woman's love and man's love, we can but agree that it wast nothing' more than just that the penalty for the theft of one was rated as mere petty larceny, while the other constituted high robbery and misdemeanor and was punished as suclk Reflect upon the manner in which San loves, and the way in which wo an loves. "Man's, love is of his life a thing apart, 'tis woman's whole ex istence. Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not for love." Thus declare the poets,- and nobody has ever disproved the assertion. A man gives to his wife the fragment of his heart that is not set upon him self: the fraction of his interest that is not devoted to his work in his ca reer; the portion of his time that is not taken up by business or golf, or his other pursuits. Man's affection is a bit t chiffon that he drapes about a woman when she is young and pretty. It is a love ly thing, but it lacks wearing"qualities, for the most part. As a general thing, a husband's love for his wife depends on. her age. her looks, her health, her high spirits. If he is devoted to her. and faithful to her still after she gets old, and fat. and grizzled headed, or becomes a peevish invajjd. everyone marvels at his constancy and it is the consensus of public opinion that he should be given the Croix de Guerre of matrimony. In view of the, evanescent quality of masculine affection it is easy to see why the wives who sue sirens for vamping their husbands never get trig damages. Juries do not hold tfia they are entitled to them, or consider that they have lost anything very val uable. The most they have been robbed of is ft. pinch-hack breast-pin that may 'haveTensefu! in holoing things together, but is no priceless jewel. (Copyright, 1919, br the Wneeler Syndicate Inc.)

In the intervals of stock taking, Peggy, wistful-eyed, piled up in neat stacks the snowy pillowcases and. sheets and towels. Brown Co., on whose weekly payroll Peggy's salary appeared, as a very small Item, was having its annual white goods sale, and it always stirred in Peggy's do mestic heart longings for a home of her own. Her dreams of a home were liberally illustrated with pictures of stocked linen closets, exquisitely ap pointed dining tables and buffet draw ers filled with finely, laundered nap kins and scarves and doilies. All the harder to tear were the dingy table cloths and too seldom changed towels of her boarding house. The way to make goods these dreams was to marry. And all Peggy had to do to be married was to say, "Yes, Hasiry." But she hadn't -been able to bring herself to the point of saying, "Yes, Henri'," btcause she wanted to say, "Yes, Jim." Yet how could one say yes to a question one had never been asked? Henry was an assistant floorwalker and very popular with the girls on account of his clothes, his repartee and his willingness to "show them a good time." All of which character istics Peggy admittedwere excellent, but after all not the only ones essen tial for a good husband. For instance, Jim at times dressed shabbily, was far from quick with his tongue and hadn't ever shown her what the other girls would have con sidered much of a time at alL But whenever Peggy thought of Jim, 'she thought of him as a person who would "wear well, and wnat liner quauiy could the man have with whom you expected to pass from youth to old age? But she had not seen Jim for sev eral months in fact, she had heard indefinitely that he had gone south. As the short January day drew to a close and the lights twinkled thru out the store for -the benefit of the hurrying shoppers. Peggy rested a v.nrl!irhv brow on her hand and tried tobrinc herself to a decision. She knew that Henry would1 be waiting outside and that some time during the walk home he would probably put his frequent question: ."Well, old girl, when are you and me going to tie UP?" M i. After the bell rang and Peggy had made up her books she went to the dressing room, took down, her coat and hat and .walked slowly out ipto the chilly night. Henry was waiting at the corner. "Some weather, all right, said Henry. "You ought to be wearing a regular fur coat, girlie. Well, one of these days" and he winkTed signifi cantly. Then, "Anything on for to night," he asked. Peggy hesitated. "Xo-o-o," she said at last. "Well. I'll be around about 8, and we'll talk a few things over. Got to leave you here to see a man." He lifted his hat with elaborate courtesy and turned down a. ide street. i Peggy felt a senee of respite, but after all, she reflected, it was only for a couple 01 nours. men bo, ww gums to say, "Yes, Henry." Eight o'clock brought Henry, his sleek hair brushed to a line, a carna tion in his buttonhole. And he didn't waste any time in preliminaries.-. "Ready to st the day, Peggy?" he asked the moment he had established himself in the least uncom fortable arm chair the boarding- house parlor afforded. "1 don't know," hesitated Peggy, "course I want to get married some day and have a home." "Sure you do." said Henry, "and here's the man that will get one for .you a couple of furnished rooms as a starter, and some day a regular swell apartment." x Peggy involuntarily burst forth, "Oh, Henry, not furnished! Couldn't we do that ourselves?" "Spend a lot of money for. stuff when you can hire tt twice as cheap. Nix on that. girl. Us for the f urnishjed rooms and our meals out." Peggy saw her real ins for marrying Henry gradually disappearing. But she reminded herself that-lt wasn't pos sible she would be willing to marry him Just for a home. "Come now, be a good girl and say you'll marry me!" pleaded Henry. Peggy looked very desirable as she sat opposite him, her hands' folded, her eyes the color of velvet pansies, her lips tremulous. Peggy sighed. Perhaps any old home was better than no home at all. Bravely she prepared to say the words which she knew would bring Henry's arms about her.', "Well," she began slowly. The doorbell rang violently. Peggy jumped up to open the door, not sorry for the interruption. On the step stood a tall broad-shouldered person who smiled with evident pleasure as face. It was Jim. She brought him In and Introduced him to Henry, whose face assumed the aspect of a very black, thunder shower. Peggy endeavored to keep the ball of conversation tossing lightly about, but it always fell with a dull thud "when thrown to Henry. In -desperation Peggy said the first thing which came into her head. "What do you think of the furnished rooms instead of a regular little home?" Jim looked surprised. "That's funny you hit on that. I Just went to look at a little bungalow today, big enough for two. I'm sick of fur nished rooms." "Are you going, to be married?" asked Peggy. "I want to be. "but I don't know about the girl." said Jim. gloomily. "Same here." growled Henry. "Bungalows are lovely,", said Peggy, hastily. It was bad enough having the two evidently trying to sit each other out, without becoming involved in personalities. But presently Jim rose and held out his hand. "Wish me luck about the girl." he said. "I've got to go." "Every bit of luck in the world, Jim." sai-I Peggy, and if Jim wonder ed why the hand she gave him was cold or why her lips trembled as she spoke he gave no sign. After he had gone. Peggy resolutely, turned to Henry "I'm sorry, Hepry," but I can't marry yeu. It wouldn't be fair to do it Just for for a home." Henry looked amaxed, then disgust ed, then angcy. This little shop girl to threw him over! He had wanted her. but now that she refused him he decided there were other fish in the matrimonial sea. and after' a few short words, departed. Peggy closed the door on Henry and stood a mitrute in the darkness of the halL Jim hadn't made any attempt to plan to see her 'again. Probably he never'Ould. Someone ran up the steps.

(Fros I'bf ladeiphia Public. Ledgtr.) We learn thru one of the New Tork sporting writers that "George Mo gridge. the star left-handed pitcher of the team, and Herbert Thormahlen. the star southpaw pitcher of the team" went south with the New Tork Americana A great many people de pend upon us columnists for their hu mor, but we claim the average sport page is funnier than any columnist. We seldom glean a laugh from the titillations ot the funny fellows, but the sporting page is nearly always good for a couple of chuckles and a cackle. Reference to the gift which chiefly distinguishes Mr. Mogridge and Mr. Thormahlen makes it possible to in terpolate Mrs. Dick Cooley's celebrat ed Jape at the expense of the fork handers. Before Mrs. Cooley married the Apollo of the major leagues she had been in "vodvil." Inside baseball was to her, in a manner of speaking, a sealed booh- Once, years afterward, mellowed by the recollections of the early days of her marital adventure, she fell into reminiscent mood. "You know." she said, "we had been married five years before I knew 'damn' and 'left-hander' were two words. It is as you have suspected: Dick clouted 'em from the righ-hand side of the plate, looking south by east." Of course, the Jnpe is nothing new. Tt was minted long before Mrs. Cooley's day. she being, so to speak, still a young woman. But. having been in "vodvil," she naturally appropriated- it and made it her own. Some great men wear rubber heels. Others never stir from the- sanctity and privacy of their own firesides without the accompaniment of a brass band. Buck Kilby, who Is very absent minded, says the only way he can k?ep anything is to employ asurgeon to perform an operation and lose the desired article in the inc'sion. Another attempt is to be made to recover the steamboat loaded with whisky which was sunk at a point in ttie Missouri river midway between Kansas City and St. Joseph along in thes'xties.

We, therefore, propose three cheers for the divers. vranme rice s assertion xnat sne re members only, songs and telephone numbers carries us far afield in, the realm of speculative interest.

A vigorous campaign tor wrest control of congress from the prohibitionists and amend the dry law so that light wine and beer will be legalized is being planned by the "wets" thruout .the country, it was learned today. Keen political observers here whose synipainies are witn tne "wets see j little hope Jjf completely overturning prohibition but they do hope to make it Jess drastic ly electing "wet' con gressmen. Thus the prohibition issue will be fought out at the polls next November in many congressional dis- tricts, no matter whether it fs put in the presidential platform of either party. Wait for Supreme Court. The supreme court's decision on the eighteenth amendment and the Vol stead law. expected soon, may deter mina how extensive the campaign to elect a "wet congress will be. Should the court hold that congress has the right to define what is intoxicating, as it has done in the Volstead law by fix ing the maximum amount of alcohol in legaM beverages at one half of one per cent, the. campaign of "wet" forces is expected to .be. sturted immediately to replace the ultra-prohibitionists with men favoring light wines and beer. If their efforts are successful the Volstead law could be easily amendeu" so that 3. SO peY cent beer and 10 per cent wine, for instance. would again be legal. The supreme court in its decisiun on wartime prohibition, held that con gress had this power during the war and the question now arises whether it is also granted to congress under the constitutional prohibition amend ment. Wet Strength Feared. In all probability, the campaign will be bi-partisan, as it is known that both Republican and Democratic con gressional campaign com njit tees will participate in such a movement in sote "wets" districts. Above all, these committees want to elect members of their party and if chances are better of electing a "wet" he will have the backing of these organisations. It is pointed out that the Republicans cannot afford to oppose all moves to elect wet con gressmen because of the large anti- prombition representation from Penn sylvania, New England, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and sections-of the Pa cific coast. The Iemocrais are said to be in the same position, hrcause of wet' strength m New.. York City, N'ew Jersey, Maryland, .Kentucky parts of Ohio and Illinois.

TWO LANDMARKS ARE BURNED First Hotel and Fourth Livery Barn in Cawker City Are Pesrtrojed. Cawker City, March II. Two Caw ker City landmarks have been de stroyed by fire this week. Tuesday night the S. S. Reed livery barn' was burned at a loss off $1,500 and Wed nesday night the old Dewey hotel caught fire from some unknown cause and was burned to the ground. The hotel was first erected in 1 8 7 1 and its first floor used as a hardware store by -J. T. Jones. The Cawker City Journal was started on the second floor by J. VV. McUride in 1881. Re cently the building has been used as a cream station. The Reed I j very barn was erected in the early 70's by Thomas Howard. At that time there were four livery barns in the city. In those days it was ho uncommon thing for as many as seven horse race to he staged on the streets of the town in one day. The barn was taken over by Thomas Kel ly in 1879. Kelly brought the first public omnibus to Cawker City. The barn was sold again in the 90 s and became the property of S. S. Reed shortly afterward. When the barn burned Tuesday niaht. six headof horses perished in the flames and a large amount of hay and feed was destroyed. CIUMBIXE IS KKSTRAIX ED.

BIRD DECREASE SERIOUS Enough Bus t Fill 24.000 Cars Eaton by Thorn Annually. If destruction of birds in Kansas continues at the present rate, insect life wilt have multiplied to such an extent that trees will be deprived of their foliage, plants will cease to thrive and agricultural crops cannot be raised, according to a recent report- or the state horticultural society. The quail, natural enemy of the bug, has been almost exterminated. George A. Blair., of Mulvane, author of the article, states. Killinsr off the quail, he says, is costing the wheat growe.rs of the United States 100. 000,000 a year, due, to the work of chinch buRS. There are 256,000,000 birds in Kansas, Blair estimates, and the 256,000,000 birds eat enough in sects every year to fill 4 SO trains of fifty cars each 24,000 cars of a mini mum weight of 24,000 pounds to the ca r. X Each cat in Kansas kills fifty birds a year. Boys make valuable birds a target for guns.

.-6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OUENAL THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1920 BACK OF TEACHERS Rotary Club Votes to Help Them Get "Raises." Will Begin Campaign Along This Line at Once. HEAR CITY'S WATER PERIL ew York Engineer Says Ade quate Fire Protection Lacking. Kinkel Pleads forThore Ameri canization of Aliens. Declaring: Topeka faced a real peril because there was no reserve water supply for fire protection. J. H. How land, engineer cf the national board of fire underwriters, of New York, spoke briefly on Topeka conditions before the Rotary .club at the Chamber of Commerce toiay. In the last ten years Topeka haa made a little progress, Howland point ed out. He mentioned the better building Cde enactment, regulations for combustibles under the direction of the fire chief, platoon system for the fire department, and increased fire fighting apparatus. Howland said the Topeka water plant could furnish barely enough water to supply a normal demand. A daily consumption of more than 3. 00.000 gallons is close to the actual margin of production. Get Behind Teachers. Following a talk by H. D. Yoder, the Rotary club voted to get behind a movement to obtain increased salaries for school teachers. Work along this line will be begun at once. Clyde Faris made a talk on the value of Rotary, the desirability of be- ing a Rotarian and the great good the club could accomplish. Pointing out that it had seemed to be the policy of the United States to favor immigration almost since the declaration of independence, John Kinkel read a paper on "Shall We Maintain the Open Door. Kinkel quoted government statistics to show that the population of. the United States indicated ten per cent of foreign born persons who never availed them selves of the opportunity to become citizens. They were people, he said, who lived in surroundings built to re mind them of their homes. A total of 220 newspapers were published in foreign languages for these people, Kinkel declared. Oppose V. S. Democracy. "The result of the great world's war," said Kinkel, "which, among other things, has brought to the front the Bolshevist revolution in Russia, has also produced a startling change in the attitude of the aliens toward our own government. Hatred directed toward imperial Russia suddenly aeem to bo turned toward democratic Amprica." Kinkel declared an influx of for eigners may be expected and that it is up to the United States to make plans for assimilating those who araj admitted and making Teal American of them. Congress Is considering leg islation, he said, providing for selec tion, education, and efforts to instill in immigrants an appreciation of the true value of being an American.

MANY OTHER ISSUES INVOLVED Industrial Court Judges Discuss Federal Body's Action. Recommended 25 Per Cent lVage Increase for Miners. The majority report today by Presi dent Wilson's coal wage commission may tend to simplify one phase of the coal mine Investigation in Kansas. Removal of the wage Question from the issues, tho, will come only on ap proval or recommendation by the mine workers' union. Judge W. L. Huggfhs, presiding juage or. tne new court or industrial relations, this afternoon saw no vital effect on the wage report of the fed eral commission. He said the investi gation in this state would continue and that numerous problems outside of the wage dispute would be taken up. The Wilson commission's report recommends a 25 per cent increase for Dituminous coal miners. "The question of wages was but one of the issues involved, in the industrial court hearing." said Judge Huygins. "If the mine workers are satisfied with the recommendations of the presi dent's commission, it would naturally be dropped. However, the workers still have a right to make a wage showing before the court. Our investigation will cover nu merous subjects. We will go into the continuity of operation, causes for shut downs, reasons for strikes and idleness by the men, cost of coal pro duction, supplies in the various fields, housing and schooling conditions and other questions. The investigation will be of the widest scope and the federal commission's report will tend to sim plify matters only as to the one ques tion of wages. Even that might not be settled by the report."

FLOCK NO LONGER PUT TO SLEEP BY 'PULPIT VOICE' OF PREACHER j f .riirrr; Vnm iiti'if5 an, i i ypj tt Modern minister You wouldn't think of applying the word "jazz" to church sermon".. Yet,- that bit of modern slang is the word which most adequately describes the new manner and voice in which pulpit messages are delivered. "Jazzed" music i3 fundamentally simple, and easy to understand. And that is also a description of the modern sermon. The old style minister, with his Intoning,. rhetoric and oratory too often talked over the heads of his congregation. He lulled them into Christianity and sleep at the same time. His sermons were apt to 09 complex and obscure. The modern minister presents his message in clear, concise Eng lish, and in a natural voice. Ha talks directly to his congregation end brings them to Christianity v-ro'ieh!v wide awake. Falls Off Roof In Chase After Musical Tom A torn cat on the kitchen roof in terrupted the slumbers of J.

Today, someone who heard the commotion notified the police there had been a shooting affair at the Firois home. "If I'd had a gun there would have been some," Firois told Clyde Tresner, chief of detectives, this morning. HOLD AtLEGKD SUIT THIEF. Clothinsr Storo Clerk Playg Detective In Tracing Approval" Goods.

Spent Life in V Hunt For Love i Documents Show Mrs. Ruth Randall Had. Many Lovers One Tiny Bunch of Violets Decorates Her Coffin To day. Chicago, March 11. An expensive casket decorated with one tiny bunch of violets was the resting place today of Mrs. Ruth Randall. Who furnished the casket none would say. The vio lets were laid upon the coffin by a white haired woman, one of the -curious hundreds who called to look upon the restless woman of many loves who killed her last lover and then herself. "I think Ruth Randall, has found in death what her soul sought in vain in life," the white haired woman said as she left the violets. Nearby lay the sealed coffin of Clif ford Bleyer, the family man Mrs. R&n- I dall had lured from his home. None was permitted to view his last sleep. The woman who killed him was to be buried privately late today. Bleyer's body would remain in the undertak ing .parlors, pending word from his father,, now in Cuba. Mrs. Bleyer, to whom the tragedy of the double killing was the first intimation that her husband had not been true to her. was ill today. She could not say what arrangements she wanted made for the burial of the father of her two little girls. Police and coroner's assistants con tinued today to paw thru the effects of Mrs. Randall. Scraps of diaries, rec ord books and letters yielded further revelations of the woman's many lov ers. From the beginning of her mar riage, which she indicated was wrecked by lack of money, thru the three years which followed, her pa pers toid of her search for rove.

SAYS HE "BAITED LISTENER" Mrs. Wingert Says She Talked as "One Woman to Another." Pastor: "Oh My, Xo! t Didn't Bawl Out Mrs. McKibben." James J. Farquer, more than 60 years of aee, described by E. D. Me Keever. attorney, as a "harmless grandfather," today on the witness stand told of his admitted friendship with Mrs. Bina McKibben, daughter of the late Congressman J. T. Olis. Far quer's testimony opened the second day of the. trial in the J15,000 slander suit brought by Mrs McKibben against Mrs. Alice Wingert, 194 Twiss avenue, over the alleged circulation of a slanderous story by Mrs. Wingert; based on a conversation which she claimed, sne heard Mrs. McKibben carry on over a party telephone line with a man. s Says His Wife Knew of Visits. Farquer, a wealthy retired farmer living at 164 Emmett street, admitted he had driven his car in front of the McKibben home at 123 Ohio street several times, alighted and visited Mrs. McKibben. He admitted that his wife had heard "talk" about it and that she trusted him and believed him when he told her that he had business dealings with the McKibben family; in fact, had loaned money to the husband. T learned about the talk," said Far quer, "and learned that Mrs. Wingert was listening in on the party line. I called Mrs. McKibben six times one day so Mrs. Wingert would have something to listen to." Continuing, Farquer testified that finally his wife, accompanied by him self and Mrs. W. L. Jury and Mrs. Sam Cremer, called" at the Wingert home for the purpose of hearing Mrs. Wingert's story of the telephone con versation. There, he testified, Mrs. Winger accused him of calling her a "guardian angel" while she was listen ing to the telephone conversation. Carried Affair to Church. At the same meeting, he testified, Mrs. Wingert told of hearing the al leged conversation between Mrs. Mc Kibben and another man concerning a "date." Following the visit of his wife, two other women and himself at the Wingert home, Farquer testified that the affair was carried before the deacons and the minister, the Rev. Milo Moore, of the Seward Avenue Baptist church. Farquer stated that he was exoner ated when an explanation was made to the deacons and the minister. He stated that when he learned his busi ness had become "the women's busi ness" he called oftener than ever at the McK-ibben home and tooted his auto horn as he passed the homes of Mrs. Jury and Mrs. Cremer. The Rev. Mr. Moore was called to the stand. MeKeever called him "Brother Moore" and called the women "sis ters." The minister described his part in the affair and testified to the meet ing of deacons and himself to sit in judgment on the gray haired and wealthy, retired farmer and the young Mrs. McKibben. "Didn't you say." asked MeKeever, "that this harmless grandfather was clared and Mrs. McKibben wasn't?" The minister admitted he had said Farquer was cleared, but denied that he had mentioned the fact that Mrs. McKibben was not. "Didn't you bawl Mrs. McKibben out in the meeting by speaking of seeing her. sitting at a piano in her house playing while a man in shirt sleeves was standing by her side?' MeKeever demanded. "Oh My, Xo!" Said Minister. "Oh my, no!" replied the Kev. Mr. Moore, "1 didn't bawl her out, but when she asked me if 1 knew any thing against her character. I referred to an afternoon when I was making a pastoral call, stepped up to the front door and saw a man in the house standing beside her. saw him turn and noted it wasn't her husband, ex cused myself and walked on." "Didn't you have a. perfect right to go in and learn the true facts, that he was a piano tuner, or didn't you want to even look on anything that might be evil?" demanded MeKeever. "Xo. T Inst went on and didn't think anything in particular about it." the minister replied. "I suppose if you had seen a plumber in the house in his shirt sleeves you would have acted the same?" said MeKeever. Mrs. Cora Moore, the minister s wife, also took the stand. She told of hearing the scandal talk about the Farquer visits to the McKibben home. Story Went tlx- Rounds.. ."There wasn't so much talk about the telephone conversation," she said, "but that story about his visits cer tainlv did go the rounds." Mrs. W. L. Jury took the stand. She (.Herl that, while Mrs. Wingert was not a member of the Bapt'st church. she was a close rriena. sne mm m meeting Mrs Wingert following a missionary meeting and during the conversation, mention was made of who attended. Among them was Mrs. McKibben. "Then Mrs. Wingert told me that I. as a member of the church and the same missionary society, should know what she had heard over the tele phone." Mrs. Wingert took the witness stand just before noon. She testified that, while she didn't know Mrs. McKib ben. she had heard ihat conversation and others over the party line and swore positively that there was no doubt in her mind that Mrs. McKib ben was the woman in the conversa tion Hadn't Listened "Purposy." Mrs. Wingert denied she had listened "purposely" to the Conversa tion on the ten-party line, but said that she "couldn't help but hear conversa tions" when she took down the re-1 ceiver to call number and found the line was busy. Asked how she recognized the voice of Mrs. McKibben, a stranger, she stated that she beard during some of the conversations the names of Faye and Hazel used and knew Mrs. Mc Kibben had children by that name and recognized the same voice in all the conversations because of a peculiar laugh Mrs. McKibben possessed. "The time I listened to the conver sation about the date." said Mrs. Win gert, "X didn't take down the re ceiver for two or three minutes after the McKibben ring was heard. I just heard a part of It."" "Then you don't know whether. If you heard it ail, it might not have been a purely legitimate conversar tlon?" asked Mc v "It certainly was a strange conver sation," site replied. Mrs. Wingert also testified to the meeting of Farquer and his wife and her two lady friends when she was called upon to tell the story of the telephone conversation. "On Woman to Another." Mrs. Wingert denied spreading the story. She said, she told Mrs. Jury about it as "one woman would to an other." "In other words," said MeKeever, "you started the fire and never did anything to stop it?" Mrs. Wingert testified she had lived In Topeka twenty years, eighteen years of the time on Twiss avenue. She is the mother of five children. The court room remain filled. Nearly the entire audience. is com posed of women. Mrs. McKibben's father, the late Congressman J. T. Otis, was elected on the Populist ticket. The young woman's mother remains constantly at her daughter's side. Her husband- Ralph McKibben, now in New Mexico, was a crvil engi neer for the Santa Fe before he took ill. REPAIR L. T. SOON Officers of "Orphan Rtnad' Make In i spectlon of Line.

Watson stated today in an address before the Kansas Good Roads association here. Twenty- five miles of these roads have been completed. Because of the scarcity 'of materials, machinery and workers. Watson cau tioned against pressing the hard sur face highway program too hard. This, he said, would tend to increase the cost of highways until the price would become prohibitive. He said large equipment companies declare It is doubtful whether they will be abl to supply machinery orders this year. "Brick plants in this territory frankly state they are unnble to fur nish more brick at this time and ce ment plants are booking no orders for cement." Watson said.

I al.o had rheumatism in my legs, arms and shoulders, and have, had to lose sev eral trips on account of my condition, which kept getting worse in spite ot all I could lo. I suffered from indi gestion so bad that I was afraid to at anything except something cry light- for if I ventured to eat anything the least bit heavy and highly-seasoned I would become almost deathly sick at my stomach and just feel Ewful for hours.

The woman, Judge Ioster said, was the wife of a man named Harry Can field. He thus bears out the state ment made by Mrs. Lulu Beckley, In El Paso, last night, airs. Beckley said she was engaged to marry Doster as soon as he could get his discharge from the army and get rm of the wounded woman. Womau Was Jealous? Authorities declare the shooting was the outgrowth of the discovery by the wounded woman of letters addressed to Doster by Airs.

Previous report n were Give Stomach What it Needs The Alkaline Effect of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Usually Corrects the Stomach Faults That Provoke Attacks of Indigestion or -Dyspepsia. To sit back after a good meal and know there is not going to be sour risings, gas, drowsiness and discom fort is the logical result of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets immediate ly after eating. Most people believe ihey can trace each attack of indiges tion to the something they ate and can still "taste." And it surprises them. Invariably, to note how quickly relief comes after using one or two of these tablets. Whether it is high ly seasoned food, rich pastry, the heavy hearty foods or some one par ticular offender the relief comes just the same. Those who are susceptible to attacks tf Indigestion or dyspepsia should try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as they supply the stomach with- am alkaline effect just as it does natural ly When it is working in perfectly healthy condition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ore so widely known and used that you can get them in any drug store in the United States and Canada at 50 cents a box. Adv.

He also" tells trs that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stojttach which prevents complete digestion and starts foody fermentation. Thu 'every thing eatenNsours in the stomach much tike garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas. we eructate sour food or have -heartburn, flatu lence, water-brash or nausea. He-tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tnblespoonful in a glass of water before iCakfast and drink while It Is effervescing and furthermore, to con tinue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the sas-making r.ass, start the liver, stim ulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results. Adv.

Snow fell in nearly all parts from the 3d to the 5th. but the resulting moisture was so light it did not appreciably relieve the drouthy conditions, except in a very few limitel localities. Tt was a very unfavorable week for wheat, which was already suffering on account of drouthy conditions when the week began and was further damaged by the -cold winds. The snow was light and was blown about 3- much it offered very little protection. There were some complaints of Vlam age from soil blowing in the western counties, but this seems to have oc curred only in the more sandy ground. It is too early to ascertain yet Just what damage has been done to wheat, as a, good rain r heavy snow falling soon might revive it wonderfully, but present indications are that in a largre number of counties in the southern half from 10 to B0 per cnt of It -will be' abandoned. The northern half Is generally- in better" shape, but its con dition is precarious.- Not much spring work was accom plished during the week on account of the low -temperatures.

I East; to Make This Pine Cough Remedy 7 ThouflsntiB of families swear by Ha 7 1 prompt revolts. Inspraaiv. f and mvm about S2. f You know that pine is used in nearly all prescriptions and remedies for coup lis. The reason is that pine contains several peculiar elements that have a remark able effect in soothing and healinjr the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine is famous for this purpose. Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The 'yrftp" part is usually plain snjrar syrup. To make the best piae couch remedr that monev can buy, put 21- ounces of Pines in a pint bottle, and fill up with home-maHe sugar syrup. Or tou can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn svrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pare, good and very pleasant children take it eagerly. You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in a way tiiut means business. The cough may be dry. hoarse and tight, or roav be persistently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause ia the Fame inflamed membranes and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it usually in 24 hours or less. Splendid, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness, or any ordinary throat ailment. Pinex is a highly concentrated com pourd of genuine Norway pine extract, and is famous the world overfor ita prQtnjtt effect upon coughs. Iieware of subst:tutes.

Wayne, Ind, FOR OIL EXCHANGE Xew York 3Icn Would Curb Fraudulent Deals. Wildcat Stocks Cost Inrestors Half Billion in 1919. Chicago. March 11. Wildcat oil stocks cost investors close to half a billion dollars last year, Ktelix Renlck. secretary of the New York Petroleum Exchange, said in a speech here today before the National Petroleum con gress. Establishment of an oil exchange along the lines of coffee, grain and produce exchanges to curb fraudulent promotions was urged by Henick. "The phenomenal increase in fraud ulent propositions has directed the at tention of the oil industry to the ne cessity for concerted action to curb this insidious influence which Is re sponsible for the la-He of general con fidence In oil financing on the part of the investing public," he said, i "The fact that at least 10 per cent of the combined capital of oil com panies organizel in 1919, namely: 1,620 companies with combined capital of ?3, 786, 000.000 f&und its way into the pockets of the fraudulent promoter and that but fifteen of the thirty thousand oil companies in the United States are listed by the New York stock exchange is a sufficient index to the need for increased stability in oil financing." It is proposed, said Renick, to cre ate a market place in New York City where oil securities may be listed for trading after k thoro investigation has been made of their investment merits. The present oil shortage makes it especially urgent that something be done to stimulate investment in oil stocks so that new capital may be em ployed for the exploration and discov ery of new oil fields, he said. "FATHER AND SOX" DINNER. First Christian Church Men Will En tertain Their Boys. The men of the First Christian church will entertain their sons at an oyster supper at the church Friday evening, March 12 at 6:30 o'clock.

After the banquet the moving pic REGULATING the hourly demand of each customer is the secret of good natural gas service at a low-price. That is the fundamental principle of the three part rate. Without it the plan would fail just as the straight meter rate has been unsuc cessful wherever in the United States it has been tried. Unless it were possible to limit the amount each customer could use in a given hour, after he had paid his fixed charges, there would be a return of the old conditions. Service would be bad because the pipelines would be unable to supply the demand on cold days. The Three Part Rate plan anticipates that eventuality. On every meter a limiting device is fixed. At no time is it possible for the customer to use more than the amount" of gas for which he has contracted. If he has contracted for 50 feet, the gas will not flow any faster than at the rate of fifty feet an hour. It is impossible for him to use more than his al lotted share. It has been the experience, of all pipelines that the heavy load comes in the morning and at night. Experience has proved this peak load will be cut in half by the installation of the three pail rate. Customers are unwilling to double the demand charge for the sake of having all the gas they possibly can use in one or two hours; rather, they are content to cut the demand in half and extend the period of use over a longer period of the day and thus attain the same results at a lower price. It must be remembered, above all else, that the customer can use his gas for a price as low as 50 cents a thousand cubic feet under the three part rate plan.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH -111920 SEES END OF GAS Oklahoma Field Exhausted in Three Years Is Prediction. At Present Rate of Waste Sup ply Is Going Fast. Oklahoma City. March 11. Okla homa will be without gas "within three years unless a strict conservation prog-ram is observed, Samuel S. Wyer, consulting engineer representing the United States bureau of mines, said in an address before the Oklahoma utili ties convention here. Wyer outlined means by which an M13E BAYER"' OR! Safe and proper directions are in every "Bayer" "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" to be genuine must be marked with the safety "Bayer Cross." Then you are getting the true, world-famous Aspirin, prescribed by physicians for over eighteen years. Always buy an unbroken package of "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" which contains proper directions to safely relieve Colds, Headache, I immense saving in gas can be effected Illustrating the great waste in one of the staple fuels of the country, he said all domestic consumers of gas waste at least 80 per cent of what they receive and pay for. 'By observing improved methods, the consumer can make one foot of gas go as far as three now go," Wyer said. Hocks Ahead for Gn Companies. "The gas shortage in this country is a serious matter- I predict that within three years three-fourths of all natural gas companies will be insolv ent. And it is due, in a great meas ure, to wastefulness. Ohio, Pennsyl vania and Indiana, where gas once was plentiful, are now virtually with out it. Oklahoma Is fast reaching, that stage and only heroic measures will save what appears to be a small re serve. By using economy, the gas supply in this state should last for twenty-five years.'

To conserve gas, Wyer suggests no daylight burning of lights, remedying improper adjustment of heater, ap pliances, which cause imperfect com bustion raise burners, use grid or skeleton top stoves instead of solid tops, and use only hot water heaters of 75 per cent of proven efficiency. Much Being Wasted. Wyer was inclined to ridicule the artificial gas plan. Gas that now costs about 22 cents would cost about $1.25 with artificial gas, he said. He also said that artificial gas has but one half the heat units that natural gas has. In concluding his talk, Wyer said $3,000,000 worth of natural gas is be ing wasted daily in the United States. In Oklahoma, $20,000,000 of gas U wasted annually, or about $60,000 daily. "This means that about $66 worth of gas is wasted every second in this state," he said. package Take as told! $45 to $75 j 6IBBINS NEW PRESIDENT Kansas Good Roads Association Holds Annual Meeting at Atchison.
