Organ ized labor will fight compulsory mili tary training and by this means may attempt to align themselves with the farmer element which is said to frown on any attempt to make soldiers out of everyone. Tnis was clearly indicated at a meeting here today of 300 dele gates from labor un-ons thruout the state to make plans for a finish fight In Kansas politics this year. This anti-militarism attitude, so plainly shown in early deliberations of the body, clearly throws consideration of Gen. Leonard Wood from the minds of laboring men who will follow the dictates of labor representatives at to day's meeting. As to how many inde pendent thinkers in labor's ranks will support Wood or other men not tn the good graces of the labor dele gates at the convention cannot be esti mated. Favor McAdoo and Johnson. There was a strong sentiment ex pressed for the candidacy of william G. McAdoo for presidential nominee by labor Democrats and Hiram John eon as the nominee by labor Republi cans. The ex.ent to which resolutions to be passed late today or tomorrow morning will go in backing these can didates was not indicated. In state politics labor leaders pre dicted that labor union strength would be thrown behind candidates looked upon as friendly to labor views. Espe cially strong support will be given to legislative candidates known to be friendly to labor, it was predicted, in order to get. labor's ideas printed on the statute books of Kansas. Full Labor Ticket Here. In Shawnee, Wyandotte and Craw ford counties It was indicated there would be a full labor ticket In county and in city politics. The Brown-Ste-vic faction which represents Topeka's labor elements at the meeting inti mated they would go home from Em poria with a determination to put la bor on the county as well as the city political map by putting a full labor fclate into county politics. The same plan promises to be carried out in Wyandotte and Crawford counties and in other labor strongholds in the state. The resolutions which were being much discussed at today's meeting promise to give organized labor's sup port to the efforts of teachers attempt ing to unionize in the state. The Al len industrial court bill and Governor Allen himself will receive no bouquets in the resolutions, it was evident. Howat Hasn't Showed Up. Alexander Howat, president of the Mine Workers' union for the Kansas district, had not appeared at the meet ing late today.

They want raw raeai and are looking ahead to a campaign In which much 'political gore will be spilled. Howat does not indicate the slightest tendency or desire to dis turb such plans. W ould Force Court Act Repeal. Some of the leaders in today's meet ing believe the labor interests may stake their chances for success in a united stand behind a general coal strike. Should Howat order the strike in the next few weeks, it would give the radical leadership an opportunity to concentrate Its forcees and to unite on a positive issue.

Failure of Pact Serious,' Say European Papers. Paris. March 22. The Journal Des Debats today blamed President Wilson for the senate's rejection of the peace treaty. While Wilson autocratically tried to impose his ideas upon the peo ple he was supposed to represent, the newspaper said, the political parties squabbled in Washington and de stroyed the fruits of America's victory in tne way. London, March 22. The London press today gravely deplored the ac tion of the American senate in what it considered a final rejection of the peace treaty. While the comment was not general- 1.. yitnr HaT-nanA i,.j t ly bitter, newspapers pointed out that thB rearfinn Ihn.nnt th. w,-!rt the reaction thruout the world cer tainly will be serious, especially with regard to the restoration of peace and normal economic relations. Relations between the United States and the rest of the world have gone to their pre-war status, the newspapers believed, and American prestige has suffered a considerable blow. The newspapers regretted that there seems to be slight prospect that ac ceptance of the treaty will become an issue in the presidential campaign. They agreed, however, that the pact apparently is dead, ts far as America, is concerned.

Both bodies were to convene in apo dal session today. The lawmakers here are expected to endorse th Susan B. Anthony amend ment, shortly after the legislature con venes at Boon.

In Washington, leaders hoped, the ratification will be accomplished to day.

MILLION TO STRIKE Labor Outlook for 1920 Gloomy One, Wilson Says. Department of Labor Issues Re port on Prospective Walkouts. 2,300,000 OUT IN 1919 Loss in Wages to Workers Last Tear $50,000,000. Sixty-Eight Per Cent Strikes Are Still in ControTersy Stage. Washington, March 22. Approxi mately one million workers will be af fected by strikes, lockouts and wage controversies during 1S20, it was est! mated here today on the basis of labor department records. The records show that in the fiscal year ended in June, 1919, approxi mately 2,300,000 workers were in volved in strikes, lockouts and con troversies referred to it for settlement. Losses of workers thru wage con troversies and strikes this year may reacn Sao, 000,000. it is believed. In 1919 total losses in wages are be lieved to have been twice this sum or more than $100,000,000. No reports are obtainable on the losses of employers and the extent of the decrease in production resulting from strikes. Many Not Arbitrated. In 1919, however, 68 per cent of the cases referred to the labor department for settlement were still in the con troversy stage and had not developed into strikes or lockouts. These were adjusted peacefully. But the cases referred to the labor department for adjustment represent ed only a small percentage of the ac tual number of strikes, officials ex plained. Thus the steel stirke. which is claimed to have made idle 300,000 men, does not figure in the labor de partment records. Neither does the coal strike, altho Secretary Wilson personally took a hand in It. Evidences are abundant that with the coming of spring, workers In all parts of the country are turning their attention to wage scales. Builders Hike Demands. In many cities, building workers and machinists already have opened ne gotiations for wage increases. Build ing mechanics in most cities now re ceive $1 an hour. In a few cities 'de mands have been presented for in creases ranging from $125 to (1.60. The industrial situation now is near the tense moment from the labor standpoint.

PAPERS DENOUNCE FRENCH Lord Goyernor Accused of Re sponsibility for Outrages. Mast i'ow Reconquer Ireland toy Force, Says Post. .London, March- 2 2. Dispatches from Ireland show the murder of Thomas Mac Curtain, lord mayor of Cork, to have produced an intense if subdued, sensation thruout Ireland This tragedy says the London Times correspondent in Dublin, closed one of the blackest -weeks since the rebellion in 1916. He Kives a Ions list of out rages in. various parts of the island, including five murdrrs of policemen and others and an attempt to kill Pro fessor Stockley of Cork. The motive of the murder of the lord mayor continues as mysterious as ever. No arrests have been reported, nor. bo far as known, have any-clues 4 to the -perpetrators been obtained. Arnonp th theories advanced is one that Mac Curtain was murdered as a warning to others, because ho recently had the courage to publicly deprecate o.n attempt to murder a. policeman in Cork. Charge Murder Societies. Newspapers, while unreservedly con demning the crime, maintain it does not differ from those which long: have terrorized Ireland. It is declared that Ireland for the moment is largely un der the domination of secret societies, the members of which are sworn to kill those whom they believe to stand in their way. but who the conspira tors are puzzles the police as much as the public. It remarked as phenomenon that where -there are murder societies members after a while begin to be suspected of murdering each other.

Even newspapers which support home rule whiie condemning what they regard as the present evil sys tem of Ir:sh government, also de nounce Irishmen themselves for con doning methods which, they say. are fast establishing- a condition of an archy and terrorism, under which their own leaders may soon be powerless to deliver them.

Below are ft lew of the -tales of children whd- left their homes seeking; the "end of the rainbow".- The stories were written, by Miss Coral irg. v Hossle, ,13 years old. u -tired of home ties because she said her par ents oia not love ner. cme-nignt sne packed her grip with all her belong ings and about -the"- midnight hour, when the household was wrapped in slumber, she slipped down the stairs and out of the house. She had written a letter to relatives in a distant state asking them to send hermony by special delivery and she thought she could stay around and watch the postoffice for her "special.' She met a kindly man who observing her carrying the heavy grip and that she was tearful and unhappy asked her of her troubles and sent the little girl to the Y. W. C. A. I was called to take charge of the little girl. The troubles of the little irl were taken up with her parents and a pro gram arranged for her happiness and care. Mary was 11 years old and her par ents could not manage her. She was left at the detention home for a while and then allowed to go home to try again." A few weeks later, just in the dusk of the evening a rap was heard on the door-of the detention -home. When the matron opened' the door, there stood -little Mary with a triumphant smile on her face. She had escaped I from her home and ran for the de tention home as fast as her little feet would carry her and all the-poHce in Topeka could not find her. 'Now' she has a new home and is very happy and is said by those who know her' to be a very dear little girl. Lorane,' 14 years old. lived in west ern village. -Her mother is dead.- Her father remarried and has a family-by his second :wife. He believed Lorane old enough tc. htft for herself. -So among strangers she was sent to make her own way. Washing dishes,- sweep ing and being all around handy rtnaid did not appeal to her taste,; so. she gathered together her small earnings and, slipping out mto the darkness of the night, boarded-a. train for Topeka. where she -found' loving relatives to take her in- She-appealed to them to prevent her from being taken back to her father's home, where she said she had often found the door locked against her and had been forced to sleep in the hay in the barn. Kind friends brpught her to the Juvenile court" for protection. Arrangements were made for Lorane to live with rel atives of her choice and her father was required to pay to the court a sum of money for Lorane's education and care. I recently received this letter from the girl: Mv dear Miss Corning: Your letter was received and I -am se glad to know you think of me. I am go ing to school and I like my-new home fine. I nave some pretty new clothes and good treatment and lota of good-- things to eat. Hope to hear from you again. -LORANE.

"The very first bottle ef Teniae mv wife took did her more good than other treatments and medicines that cost hundreds of dollars." was the truly remarkable statement made hv j the Chicago. Burlington Quincy Railroad, while telling of his wife's experience with Tanlae In the Owl drug store. "Although my wife had tried moEt everything nothing seemed to do her any good, and she had reached the point where she Just had to have something to restore her strength or give up entirely and take to her bed. As this was her condition when she began taking Tanlae vnu con Inuffir. taking only five bottles of Tanlac she has gained twelve pounds In weight and Is enjoying as good health or bet ter as she did before her troubles started four years ago. Her stomach had been all out of order for all these years, she had no appetite and al though she ate very little her food soured and caused her great distress. Her nervous system seemed to be shat tered, and her rest was so broken at night she could get but little sleep. She suffered with constipation, had se vere headaches nearly all the time, and often had such dizzy spells It was all she could do to keep from falling. She also had such Intense pains across the small of her back that it was dif ficu It for her to stoop over and straighten up, and finally got In ruch bad condition it was simply Impossible for her to do her housework. "Tanlac seemed to suit her case ex actly, and she began to get better soon after she started taking It. Her stom ach Is in such splendid condition she can eat just anything she wants and everything agrees with her perfectly. She pever has a headache or dizzy spell, and has regained her strength so she can do her housework, with the greatest ease. Her nerves are In such good condition she sleeps ss peaceful as a child all night long and always gets up feeling greatly rested. Since taking Tanlac she does not seem like the same woman, as it has Just built up her whole system. You may say for me that my wife and myself think there Is no other medicine in the world like Tanlac, and we will always praise It."

Haskln, Director, Washing ton I), c. It would be a sad day for Japan If her silkworms were to go on strike. The world's supply of raw silk comes almost entirely from that country. The small Kuropean production was al most cut off by the -war and the Chi nese have fallen far behind in the race. In 1919 Japan exported more than 150.000 bales of raw silk, of which all but about 3, DOfl bales came to the United States. The American imports amounted approximately to Su,000,000 pounds, an Increase of 9,000,000 pounds since the opening of the world war. In that time the value of the importations Increased from $80,000,-' 000 to $200,000,000. In June, 1915, tho invoice value of raw silk was $8.09, and in June, 1919. it was $5.90. In December, 1919, the price to the American manufacturer had risen to $14.25. and early In 1920 it reached $16. On account of the strategic posi tion which the Japanese exporter holds, it Is said that he makes as. profit of 1.000 per cent at present prices. The Japanese farmer who engages in Bilk culture only as a side issue often' receives more for his crop of cocoons than for all his other produce com bined. In California there are but two can didates running for the Republican nomination for the presidency. These are Hiram Johnson and Herbert Hoover, both citizens of the state. Johnson is handicapped by the support of the Hearst papers, but this is coun terbalanced by the fact that Hoover it being supported by fie Los Angeles Times, which Is a red rag in the face of organized labor. Johnson also has a record of bavins defeated Hughes for the presidency, which may affect the results or may not. The voters easily forget that sort of thing. Neither President Wilson! nor Col onel Bryan was able to hold the Dem ocrat senators together on the peace treaty. Even the "solid south" may be broken, in time. Unde the caption, "Anthropology of Another Town," Ed Howe is wTiting a series of short stories for the Satur day Evening Post. They are so true to life that the reader might be led to believe that they are a chroniclo of actual happenings were i not for the fact that in one of them he has a train numbered 58 and a train numbered 18 moving in opposite directions. The weakling nation of the world have not shied at the League o(f Na tions. They have expressed no fear that their rights may suffer. It re mained for the United States senate to place this country in the attitude' of being! alarmed lest somebody try to put something over on us. We have been made ridiculous in the eyes of that part of the world which does not understand our politics Somebody has estimated that the money formerly spent for alcoholic beverages would wipe out the national debt in a few years if applied in that direction. Observation. however, ..teaches that the average person spends a certain amount of his Income on un necessary things: if not on liquor then on something else equally needless. Knoxville, Tenn.. appears to have found a solution for bringing the con sumer and producer closer together by the use of the motor truck. Two years ago there was not an auto truck line out of Knoxville. The farmers were handicapped in -bringing their prod ucts to the market except in, the old slow way of wagon and horses. Street cars did not extend into the rural sec tion. There were only two roads, the Louisville Nashville and Southern railways, to bring the. products to mar ket. Some one started a truck line to an adjacent farming section that was void of transportation facilities except the railroads several miles away. The trucks began to gather up the farm crops, then the passengers, and now there are over twenty-five lines plying between Knoxville and adjacent farm ing communities not reached by 'the railroads. There are twenty to forty passenger auto buses to Maryvllle, fif teen' miles away, daily traffic to all nearby summer resorts, freight lines to at least twenty points, milk routes established and every truck and bus crowded to its limits and more prom ised. LIQUOR WILL NOT DOWN. Indications continue to multiply that prohibition, which was generally con sidered as settled, when the constitu tional amendment was ratified, is to' be made a large, possibly a dominant issue in this year's campaign. The drys, of course, would like to have this question regarded as settled, at least for a time, but the wets are not so inclined. They are organizing and planning and working for a new deal, something that will take the edge off the rigorous dry rule now enforced and tilt the lid at least enough to al low the people, or those who choose to do so, to have just a little leeway in indulgence, by. the opportunity to return to the use of beer and light wines. This, rather than a contest over the abstract principle of prohibition, promises to be -the basis of the fight now being planned against the bone dry rule, and if the wets can have their way they will make this the leading Issue. If they succeed it may result in all other issues being relegated to the background and neglected to an extent that scarcely will please the party leaders. The latter would pre fer to have the campaigns fought out over such issues as the peace treaty, economy and efficiency in government, reduction in taxes and, perhaps, the old question of tariff and protection. But If the "wet" issue once get started it is likely to upset all their plans, for this Is a question that directly will ap peal to most voters as a matter of per sonal interest and concern, and the contest over this question therefore scarcely can fail to obscure all other issues, which will be regarded as mat ters of secondary importance. If the wet and dry issue figure large in the coming campaign, it promises to be a dominant issue in politics for many years to come. The wets scarce-H ly will abandon the effort to obtain a tilting of the tid, and should they fail I in the present attempt, they will re-1 new the attack with every coming campaign. The drys, on the other hand, will be just as zealous and per sistent in efforts to hold the ground already won, and should the wets win a point at any time, it will simply mean redoubled efforts to reverse such a decision and thus put -the country back under "real" prohibition. A long drawn-out contest over this question seems unavoidable, and the politicians and the public may as well settle down to face this situation and make the best of it. Until the wets have shown their strength, however, it is not likely that either of the leading parties will dare openly to side with them. Exports of antiquities from Paris to the United States increased from $2, 000,000 in 1918.to more than $10,000, 000 In 19 19 exports of beads and spangles increased from half a million in 1918 to two and one-half million in 1919; of costumes we imported in 1918, $1,600,000 worth, while in 1919 we imported $4,000,000 worth. It ap pears that anybody who has anything to sell can find a ready market for it in the United States, provided the price be. high enough. THE LAW;8 DELAY. With the recent execution in Wash ington of a negro ends a case that em phasizes the need for a revision of our court procedure so that speedier justice maSy be meted out to convicted criminals, particularly of the class to which this man belonged. The crime for which he suffered the extreme penalty ot the law is one which in some) states incites mobs of lynchers to take the law Into their own hands and administer summary punishment. It Is delays such as have taken place in tha District of Columbia that fur nish much of the justification upon which advocates of lynch law base their arguments. Were there court machinery available in every state for the swift trial of suspects and the prompt execution of sentences in that class of cases there would be fewer re sorts to violence on the part ot out raged citizens. The wJshi ngton case was a particu larly atrocious one. A young war worker awoke to find a negro in her room in the middle of the night.' She grappled with the intruder, was dragged thru an open window into the back yard, and there shot. In a few days she died. In a week the, arrest was made, but 403 days elapsed before the murderer expiated his crime on the galtfows. Tet there seems to be no blame attaching to any of the officials connected with The trial, or the coun sel. The remedy lies in curing the law 'of defects that -hinder the execu tion of justice. s Th piiblic clamor which a few years ago was directed against the railroads, with results now familiar to everybody, recently bas been turned against the meat packers. It will be a serious misfortune to the country if another great Industry shall be bank rupted and wrecked in order to fur ther the ambitions of group of poli ticians. It may be. however, that the lackers will be able to slide from un der as did Standard Oil. the steel trust snd-the harvester concern. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC oVHASKlS, Director. Watsldngton, DiCi JJTCTJE CONGRESS;, Washington. C. March 17.. When congress closes on Saturday niphts. and our, august lawmakers de part for home, their secretaries now get together and hold a Little Congress f their own. kittle Congress is a new organization, just three months old, but already it has solved, to its own satisfaction, the peace treaty question, the Irish question, the rational ship ping policy, and a few other matters which the big congress is still worry ing over. Little congress nas its speaker, ser- i r t or Democrats gather when tney wisn to discuss party affairs, is one of the most beautiful halls in the city, and is only a little less dignified than the real house of TepreseVitatives chamber. Floor and ceiling are white marble, and the walls are white, decorated with pillars. Brown velvet window hang inns a lone srreen topped table and rows of chairs are the main furnish ings. When it is arranged like the house chamber, with a speaker's desk and the chairs in a big semi-circle, and the glittering chandeliers are all light ed, it is a room to Inspire a young sec retary to heights of eloquence his con gressman might, easily envy. At eight o'clock sharp, on Saturday night, the speaker of Little Congress bangs on the big table with his gavel, and the members come to order. The subject for discussion before Little Congress tonight," drawls the speaker in his best public, voice, "is that of soldiers' bonuses. Most of us realizes that the nation owes some token of appreciation to the men who so ably served it in the war. Tonight we shall hear from four members wno will place the phases of the question before us. The debate follows, with speeches by four members dssignated before hand. Later, however, all join in the senmage, and before- midnignt little Congress resembles closely big con gress on an intense day. The meetings of those young polit ical enthusiasts are not entirely seri ous, any more than the real congress is always as solemn as it likes to be pictured. After the main subject of the evening is settled to the liking of the majority of secretaries, a petition, from the Sweet Pea club of 'Rockville, Md. is usually presented before thel body for consideration. The Sweet Pea x;lulv we hasten to explain-, is a fictitious 'organization which is ardently interested in reform. Con-1 gress has so many reform organiza- j tions to deal with seriously that the secretaries decided to have one of their own which they could be "facetious about. So petitions are introduced from the Sweet Pea club askins that the germs be. legislated out of exis tence, -or that men's clothes be stan dardized, and then Little Congress proceeds to consider in mock elo quence the advisability of these meas ures.. Members of Little Congress copy the house and senate only in so far as they approve, and when they disap prove it is in no uncertain laneniae-e. The question early arose as to whether or not the body should be non-partisan. This; was quickly settled no political parties in Little Congress, and no division of Republicans on one side of the hall and Democrats on the other. The secretaries decided that they would be guided bv nrincinle before politics (tho whether the secre- I tary or John Cabot-Lodge would rise to defend the Lea&rue nf Vatlnna is doubtful to our mind.) Anotner point of tradition came I up. According to the constitution of the organization, a speaker holds of fice two months. When the first speaker's term ended, he stated firmly that he would not consider another' terjn. as .he had always believed in one term for executives and now he would put his principle into practice. This is probably the first case on rec- j ord where a man refused a nomina tion for second term on the strentrth of his past remarks. i This first speaker of the congress of secretaries was Ned Baldwin, secre tary of Representative Sinnott of Ore-! gon. Besides knowing all the tricks! or the secretary trade, Mr. Baldwin! Is a newspaper man and has been I three limes secretary and twice-act-i ing chairman of the Oregon state Re publican committee. Mr. Baldwin is responsible for the name Little Congress. "I Just always thought of it as a Little Congress and referred to it that way." he says, "and most of the boys 1 liked it. We had a hot debate over the name, tho, and considered Con gress Junior and a number of other names. But Little Congress won." The object of Little Congress, Mr. Baldwin explains, is to promote good fellowship, and for the members to gain knowledge of parliamentary pro cedure, to become more efficient as secretaries, and to improve the art of public speaking. Any secretary to a senator or rep resentative or any other attache of the capltol can apply for membership. So far none of the woman secretaries have asked admission, but Mrf Bald win says they have the same oppor tunities to run for Little Congress as the men. Lack of interest on the part of the women he attributed to the fact that after keeping a congressman's dates and "correspondence straight all the week .most woman secretaries pre fer musical comedy to political debate. The men, however, are extremely in terested in the new organization and it has already grown from the four j organizers to a membership of sixty. The members say that they are gain- ing a great deal of valuable in form a- tion and experience from the meetings of LittleCongress.. A secretary at the. capitol has to know as much as pos- i sible about the business of lawmaking. Callers stream in and out of his con- gressman's office all day, the thickness I of the streami depending on tha impor tance of the name on the floor. Nine teen out of twenty of these visitors never see or talk to the man they ask for, but most of them go away -with their missions accomplished. The sec retary tells them how the representa tive stanfis on the homestead bill, what his opinion of the eight hour law is. the status of his latest bill, or whether he has vacancy for West Point. To handle these callers re quires something more than a vague idea of what that particular represen tative stands for and is doing. A secretary who has been with hia congressman for a. number of termor is one of those impossible combinations of efficiency, versatility, and politeness that you read about in business men's 'magazines. He dictates an irresisttbJe letter to irate constituent, tells.' a phone caller that the .Representative cTa, rml.Sn of Speer Gietrit'trict and run for office there, but meets in the caucus room of the house heJl'0"ldv.haY,t,t0JbuUiJup a "f? sup" of representatives office building. The Port, for his friends and acquaintances caucus room, where the Republicans would naturally be m the district he l is on the floor of the House, anf plans a press notice or a speecn, all at once. There may be times when he settles down to ofie thing at a time, but we have never happened to call on these occasions. Some congressman are knows as men with single track foinds. Their secretaries never enter this class, even if they become congressmen themselves. i When asked if Little Congress ex pects to train men for the national legislature, Mr. Baldwin said that the Saturday night debates will undoubt edly prove valuable to a man whs later runs for public office, but that there is no thought of this in holding the meetings. "Many people have the idea that it is the easiest thing possible for a sec retary to become-a senator or repre sentative," he went on. "Really it is the most difficult. A secretary who is loyal to hiB employer cannot run for office against him. Of course, he might establish residence in another had left. About the only way for secretary to reach congress is for the congressman to retire or die. and even then not one secretary in a hundred succeeds hi employer." Mr. Baldwin has located one senator and seven- representatives now in con- gress who have been secretaries. These are Senator Harris, of Georgia, and Representatives Lufkin, of 'Massachu setts; Burroughs, of New Hampshire; White, of Maine; Sheppard, of Texas; Mead, of New York; Smith, of Idaho, and Lanham, of Texas. Besides these, Representatives Crisp, of Georgia, and Browning, of New Jersey, served in clerical capacities in the house of rep resentatives. These congressmen have been made honorary members of Little Congress and have spoken at open meetings to tell of their experiences and "old times." One representative remem bered the time when a secretary to a congressman received a monthly sal ary of $50, paid only when congress was in session. Another went him one better by recalling his experiences when senators thought $20 a month enough to pay for an office valet. Little Congress is a very young in stitution, so young, in fact, that not all the secretaries know of its ex istence. But it is a hustling body, and Ned Baldwin has great hopes for its future. "It's hard to get people to do things for the first time in Washington," he says, "but we are past that stage, and we expect soon to have a membership as big as the senate." It is impossible to say what effect Little Congress will have on big con gress: A secretary is often a very im portant person, and when he starts speaking in public meetings on mat ters of state, he is apt to get some decided opinions and talk them over with his congressman. Maybe the peace treaty will get decided in con gress now that the secretaries have settled it. Questions Answers Q. Has an aTowed ngrnosMc ?Ter bcn president of the United States? O. It. F. A. No president bas ever denied the ex istence of a God, and no president ever refused to take the oath of office ending in "So help me God." Presidents Jefferson and Lincoln were not affiliated witlt any church, but it Ss held that each belierfcd "in God. Is steam visible? A. H. C. A. Actual steam is not visible. The visible white Taper which Is frequently referred to as steam is in reality a collec tion of fiue moisture particles which are formed by the condensation of true steam. Q. Is there any special reason for the arrangement of letters on a typewriter? I. H. M. A. The alphabet is arranged on all stan dard keyboard typewriters so as to place letters together which are most frequently combined in words. This arrangement is thought to oe such as to allow a maximum of speed in operating the machine. Q. Can a widow of a Spanish war ret eran obtain a pension? I. M. A. The pension bureau nays that widows of Spanish war veterans with an annual in come of less than $250 may be pensioned regardless of the cause .of death if their husbands rendered ninety days active service and were honorably discharged. Q. Why are eggs given such prominence on Easter?; .T. K. C. A. The use of eggs at Easter is a cus tom of great antiquity. The egg was early regarded as tlre svmbol of resurrec tion. It is probable Mhat the Christian cbnrch adopted and consecrated an earlier custom. The egg is held a symbol of spring, life and of the fecundity of na ture. Q. Is the earth larger than the moon? 1. V. H. A. The surface area of the earth Is esti mated at 197,108.580 square miles, while that of the moon is placed at 14,085,000 square miles. The mass of the earth Is approximately 256,000,000 cubic miles. while the volume of the moon Is about oneforty ninth an greart. Q. What rules should be followed In writing a scenario? L. W. K. A. Scenario writers are now required merely to tell the story of the play and not to give the action scene by weene. The detail is now worked out 'at the studio. The chief necessity la a dramatic story two or three thousand words long that is capa ble of being converted into pictures. The scenario writer should see his story in a series of pictures and so tell it that it wflt call forth those pictures in the mind of another. The manuscript should, of course, be typewritten.

Gordon had been in her good graces only a few months ago more than her good graces. They had been practically engaged, but relations had been broken because a dance at the Summit House and an observation of Mercury were scheduled for the same night, uordon enjoyed dancing, especially when Helenvwas his part ner, but it was his duty to turn his telescope on the planet, which was in a positionmost favorable for terres trial inspection. 1 "Very well," said Helen. "If you care more for your old star than for me. go ahead. I can find a partner. That was the last time they had been together, Helen at once began weaving her charms about the rich young men resorting at the hotel, and soon she had nearly As many satellites as Saturn, which boasts of eight in ad dition tb its rings. Gordon wondered if Helen missed the telescope, at which she had sat many an evening, listening to his dis courses on the universes Surely she must, he decided, for she had display ed enthusiasm over astronomy. If both of them had not possessed more than their share of stubbornness it is likely they would have effected a re- Lconciliation; that is, before, the wealthy satellites began exerting their influence. Early in December Gordon became interested in a celestial phenomenon. Six of the pla&ets were maneuvering in their orbits so they would be align ed on the same side of the sun. By astronomical and arithmetical deduc tions Gordon figured-that on Decem ber 17 Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Sat urn and Neptune would form a con junction, while far on the other side of the sun Uranus would hold forth, an outcast. Off at a tangent from the lined-up planets would be the earth. Gordon was not the only as tronomer waiting for the conjunction. In fact, some of them predicted storms, earthquakes and other phe nomena on the earth due to the strong gravitative pull to whicb the sun and earth would be subjected. These predictions were exaggerated by excitable persons until it became gen erally known that the end of the world was scheduled for December 17. Gordon smiled at these prophecies of disaster, but said nothing. He had no fears for the safety of the globe which was his home, for he knew the same conjunction of heavenly bodies had occurred before, altho not within the last few thousand years. The settlement on the mountain was agog with excitement as result of the' predictions, which they read in the papers. The superstitious were wor- ried; others were interested because of the diversion, while others became enthusiastic because of some scientific germ that existed in them. Gordon watched the planets man euver for alignment, but kept silence, altho the settlement was waiting to hear from1 him. It ie not many vil lages that can boast of an authority on planets. As he studied the heavens Gordon unconsciously placed himself in the position of Uranus. He was an out cast from Helen Hardwell's affections; he was alone, far at one side, while her rich, admirers he referred to as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. Saturn and Neptune. They were pulling to gether for her. On the night of December IS about 11 o'clock, Gordon sat in his study reading. There was no particular rea son to watch the skies, because the planets1 were on the other side of the earth and would not be visible to Kim until shortly before sunup. Gordon had a book on economics be fore him. However, he did not read long. Dreams of Helen Harawell in terfered. He head the door crack and looked toward it, to see Helen, standing there, smiling. "Please don't be angry with me. she pleaded. "T know I'm intruding: but I have jurt got to learn something about the the end of the world. ""The town ie just crazy about the big show the planets are going to put on," she continued, advancing into the room somewhat timidly. "Are there really going to be earthquakes and things? Up at the dance at the hotel the folks are waiting for me. Tou see, they sent me as a delegate of one to find out what's going to happen. Tou won't let me return and report failure, will you, -Gordon?" Gordon stood up. smiling. "Certainly not Helen. Tou're wel come to all the information I can give. It la- said that such a conjunction of planets will cause sun spots. If that is true there will be sun siots as the result of the present situation in the solar system. It also is said that sun spots cause Btorms and earthquakes. If that theory is correct, there cer tainly will be storms and earthquakes as a result of the alignment of the spheres." She seated hersl and he did like wise. "Gordon" she said, "I'm an awfully stubborn girl, but you see I'm yield ing. I'm sick of the bunch at the hotel. They don't know anythlngspx cept dancing and bridge, clothes and golf and tennis, and how to. spend money they never earned. Tom Thatcher didn't even know the earth revolves around the sun until I told him. Fred Beakman thought the stars were five-pointed, until I told him they are spheres. Sam Adams thought the earth was the biggest thing in the uni verse except the sun, until I explained that the planet Jupiter is more than a thousand times larger.' Gordon smiled again, whimsically.

"I don't see it that wjry at all. I am hired to sell goods, not to play errand boy." "But if there are no customers,, and other things need to be done" "That makes no difference!" he said, so impatiently that I stopped arguing, altho I couldn't stop thinking that perhaps if Robert had less sense of his own Importance, and more in terest in his work, he would get along better. some Venus? I've named all your satellites after planets." She flushed. "I'm thru, with satellites," she told him. "I'm going to be like Venus and Mercury without any moons. But how about yourself, Gordon? Haven't you a planetary name?" "I'm Uranus, because I'm all alone on the other side of the sun, in the present arrangement of things. Uranus is an outcast from the solar system, and I'm an outcast from you." "Gordon," she said suddenly, "would itbe very improper for me to stay here tonight and have a reserved seat at the big performance in the- sky? Tou can help me to catch up on my lessons about the stars, and early in the morning we-can see the planets to gether. I'm not going back to the hotel." i At the hotel the anxious crowd waited in vain for their emissary, while she sat at the -telescope -the whole night thru. In the morning she looked with awe as Jupiter, blue-white, burst into flame in the sky, while Saturn took on a dull orange hue and Mars sparkled red. Down in the sky, near the cres cent moon. Venus appeared, twice the size of an ordinary star, shining with an intense white light that rivaled Luna's and close to the horizon little Mercury blinked.

"Oh, it's all so wonderful," Helen breathed, as. tired from her lonir visril. phe turned from the telescope. Tou may be Uranus, an outcast, she whispered, "but you're all the world to me.

We have no notion as to whether he would make a good president. But his frank discussion of a matter which every other candidate is trying to straddle has attracted the favorable attention of a number of customers. 'There is," writes one eminent pub licists, "more than one way to kill a cat." Buck Kllby, therefore, suggests that all of the various methods be em ployed.

The trouble with the "columyer" not, as "Gladiolus" asserts, that he is what is vernacularly known as a "grouch." The trouble is that h is a shy anemone whose reticence makes him inscrutable to the casual observer. But the reputation of being a grouch, assiduously cultivated by many, saves them' much trouble and annoyance. A grouch is not expected to sing and dance and, make merry for the edifica tion of the villagers. Nobody suspect him of playing the ukelele, and he is placed on no soliciting committees as sembled for the purpose of separating the hard-working citizen from h's dross. One with the reputation of being a grouch is less frequently af flicted by the various human pert than one called upon to sustain the illusion of geniality. When a human pest tackles a groucH the latter can turn on his heel and walk away with out hurting anybody's feelings. Jt is precisely what is' expected'of him. -Ths town cut-up never slaps the grouch OA the back.' He invariably reserves that mark of distinction for the sunshine scatterers. No drunken man sob himself to Bleep upon the grouch's shoulder; no politician buzzes in his ear. The grouch frees himself from many of life's petty annoyances at no expense either to dignity or energy, and because he spreads the conversa tional unguent, with a' sparing hind he generally is esteemed a gTeat deal smarter than he really is.

But those backing the carnival had chosen a poor location. On each side of the show was located a negro church. The pastors of the churches objected to the show as "ruining the religious business." The city officials looked at it with the eyes of the pastors and no more is the gentleman informing the wait ing multitude to '"encircle the young woman's leg and win a pair of silk hose." MRS. MONROE IS HONORED. Topeka Suffrage Ijcadrr Receives Dis tinguished Service Certificate. Mrs. Lilla Day Monroe of Topeka has received a distinguished service certificate for her pioneer suffrage work from the National American Wo man Suffrage association. The cer tificate is signed by Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt, national president of the as sociation.' Mrs. Monroe has been working in Kansas in the interests of suffrage since 1886. Her hard work and influ ence were largely responsible for the Kansas municipal suffrage law, and she has been a prominent worker for national suffrage.

Aaiso of From Five to Fifteen Cents on Local Market. Prices on kodak films have gone up from five to fifteen cents in the last week, according to George Stansfield. The smaller six exposure films have increased five cents in price while, larger six and eight exposure films have increased ten cents, and twelve exposure films fifteen cents. This is the first increase the East man" Kodak company -has made in its products. Stansfield says. In explana tion of the increase the Eastman com pany says, labor is up over 95 per cent; silver bullion is three times its former. .price; gelatine has doubled in cost; bromides are four times and cot ton six times the lowest cost; acids have also increased materially in cost. They point out there is no other line of products where selling costs have been held down as consistently as in the photographic line.. This applies particularly- to sensitized goods to filniB, papers and plates the goods that sell in the greatest volume. Demand, for films is exceedingly reat. according to George Stansfield. He says he seldom receives his full or der and notices that most shipments come Irom the Canadian factory, in dicating that American consumption is greater than ever before. The growing motion picture indus try, and their tremendous demand for film, is another condition affecting prices. As high as 20,000 feet of film is used In taking a five or six reel movie feature. The film is dead waste. in taking special scenes or where re takes would be impossible, batteries of cameras are used.

Wm. ieces at Special inducements made possible by the necessity of closing out of a large number of discontinued patterns in desirable furni ture to provide room badly needed for spring shipments, which are reaching us daily and must be taken care of. A further reason for these important reductions is that, as the factories are closely restricting the variety of styles, we cannot duplicate the pieces here offered. While the reduced price tickets will remain upon the goods until sold, we must advise early selection, as there are but one or two of some of the patterns remaining in stock.

Fcltons, with two small basics, leave Topeka after sojourn at; Provident association. After remaining in Topeka for near ly a-week, Mr. and Mrs. Kranqis Fal tonr. who walked to this city from Winchester. Mass., have resumed their journey on foot to Oakland. Cat They have not been seen since Saturday noon at--the Provident association, where they were given food and lodg ing, ind it is probable that they are miles away from uopeKa oy. toaay. ThtVthey are continuing the journey on foot Is probable. Mrs Darlene Newby. secretary of the Provident as sociation, said today, -for they had no money for railroad fare. Carrying their two children, too small to walk, the Feltons covered an average of about ten miles a day since last November. Thev were found on a road east of Topeka on Tuesday of last week, nearly' exhaasted, with facaa -ha lined- from exDosure- and; all of them in great need of toaths and fresh i-inihinv Mr. and Mrs. Felton, 23 and 21 respectlvely.s.re the parents ot Frances, aged two, ana .ann, aiseu nine months. There was no convey ance of any kind for the children, so they made the journey from -Massachusetts in the arms of their father and mother, it is claimed. The first day or two 01 tneir sojourn at the Provident association, the Fel tons were willing and eager to work.' They irew less enthusiastic about la bor as' the days passed and became anxious to move on toward California, Mrs. Newby said. They took their ba bies with them Saturday noon when they told officers of the association that they were going to lunch. They had not returned at noon today. It is probable, Mrs. Jv'ewby suggested, that ihey considered a springlike day. such as Sunday, a splendid one for making a new start on their trip, counting upon the 'lifts-'- of the many motorists abroad. The reason for their journey was given by the Feltons as poor health of the husband, who was a factory work Eland, and was advised I by his physician to go to California. As they were unaDie to anoru transportation, they began the trip on foot. J Argument for Condemned Negroes. Little Rock. Ark.. March 22.

Piles of data are beginning to arrive in the office of the city water depart ment. Consulting engineers are busy assembling data, giving professional diagnoses of the condition of the local water plant and making prescriptions as to what sort of treatment should be administered. Altho Commissioner Wilbur Stan field declined today to divulge even hints as to opinions of the specialists, he seemed confident the disclosures to be made soon would prove interesting. It is evidently not the policy of the de partment to unload the information contained in the opinions until they may be assembled in one mighty vol ume of prognostications. From the manner in which engi neers have disagreed -in the past in diagnosing the plant, an extensive dif ferentiation 3f ideas may be antici pated. The obtaining of opinions oif what is the matter and what should be done is easy, commissions point out, com pared with the task that will follow of raising money. There can be no doubt that real betterment of the plant Is to require an immense sum of money. ATX-TEAMS AHE PICKED. Two W'inficld Players Placed on First Kansas Knsketlall Five. Lawrence.

MicK "4 11 -r SPALDING HERE TONIGHT Wcfld Renowned Violinist in Concert at City Auditorium, f f Albert Spalding. who;plays here his evening at the city auditorium, under the direction of H. J. Dotterweich. of the Topeka Concert Series, was asked recently what he thought the late war had done for music. Mr. Spalding, who has just resumed his concert tour after two years' aviation service, of fered what sounds like a sane reply. He says: "The war has taught all of us to be sincere, -true and unaffected. More than ever in the world's history have we gotten away from the bombastic and spectacular. This, in my opinion, will be evident in music artists and audiences will be more honest, simple and straightforward. For this reason, I feel the war's influence on music will be broad, rather than startling. 'There's no doubt in my mind that an artist grows a trifle stale and gels into a sort of rut after playing four or five seasons in succession. When I put my violin away and climbed aboard a transport two years aso. nat urally I wondered what might become of my artistic career; but I was willing and glad to sacrifice it for the big cause. Now that I am back. I can't begin, to express the freshness and eagerness I have for mus'e. It may sound small to say so, but the war was a wonderful vacation .from one point of view. 1 see things bigger, feel them bigger and hope I play better."

The. second annual state volleyball tournament was held at Hutchinson Friday and Saturday. Teams from Sal ina, McPherson, Wichita, Topeka and futchlnson participated in the tournament. Teams from Fort Scott, Newton and other cities which were expected failed to appear. The tournament was by elimination and those teams defeated in the first round of play were scheduled against each other in the consolation round of play. The Hutchinson Daily News presented a silver loving cup for the winners of the -tournament and the Moyes-Montgomery Motor company presented another silver cup to the winners of the consolation round. Hutchinson won the championship by defeating Wichita 15-3, 15-12, 15-9, and McPherson 15-4, 15-2, 15-6, and Salina in the, finals 15-12, 15-7 and 15-13. Hutchinson won in straight sets from each team played. The Wichita team won the consola tion cup by defeating Topeka in three out of five hard fought games 10-15, 15-10, 15-13, 6-15 and 15-3. The Salina team reached the finals by defeating McPherson 15-3. 15-8 and 15-2 Friday evening; and Topeka on Saturday morning 15-3, 15-9 and 15-13. Topeka and Wichita were some what handicapped in playing the Hutchinson, McPherson and Salina teams in that the Topeka and Wichita teams played five men while the other (earns played six men to a team. Last year's tournament was held at Topeka. salina won and with the same players this year hoped to repeat, but Hutch inson presented a stronger team than had been eypected. Wichita and Salina both wanted the tournament next year and after a se cret ballot which showed atie vote the location of next year's tournament was decided by the toss of a coin in which Wichita had the luck and won. The Hutchinson T. M. C.

Whooping cough is the "mean-' est" disease that childhood is heir' to. While rarely fatal in itself, except to children under two. years of age, still it hangs on so long the cotighing paroxysms are so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestion that when the disease does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and afttr re covery this irritation frequently remains. t During this period of conval escence the child should be most .carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air passages regain their normal tone. A prominent authority even goes so far as to say "There is more criminal neglect in connection with whooping cough than with any other disease." While the disease is active, Vick's VapoRub usually helps to lessen the violence of the cough in?", but it is during conval escence that Vicks is most val uable. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, at tract the blood a way. from tha congested spots and relieve the cough In addition the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vapor ized by the body heat. Ihese vapcrs are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form, of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled.: If. the cough is annoying swallovr a small bit the size of a pea. Children's digestions are deli cate easily disturbed by too much "dosing." Vicks, there fore, is particularly recommended.' 1 since it is externally applied and. so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects.
