POTATOES IN SLUMP HERE Still Higher Than K. C. Quotations Altho This Is Producing Area. The local potato market, in the 'heart of th world's greatest potato producing district, does not show the decrease in price of the city market quotations in Kansas City, where a plentiful supply of potatoes has brought the price down to $2.75 or $3 a bushel.

TRIED TO BLANKET DEFENDER Shamrock Failed Twice to Get Wind of American. British Boat Second Time Makes Poor Showing at Start. Aboard U. 1 S. Destroyer Goldsbor ough. Juiy 17 (via wireless). After being held up for more than an hour because of lack of wind, the Shamrock IV and Resolute crossed the starting line in the second of their series of races for America's cup shortly before 2 p. m. today. The breeze waa sufficient to ruffle tne sea as the boats got under way. The starting signal was sounded at 1:45 with both yachts to the leeward of the line. The Resolute was the first to cross the starting line again. Befcnder Makes Best Start. The Shamrock crossed the starting line under the Resolute's lee. Cap tain Adajns of the Resolute again took all the honors at the start. Both vessels slipped over the line close hauled on the starboard tack. The Shamrock was only eight seconds behind the defender. The official time of the start: Resolute, 1:46:29: Shamrock, 1:46:37. As the signal balls went up. Resolute shot cleanly over the mark and the bhamrock leaped after her. Both yachts caught the breeze and clipped thru the water in a beat to the ten mile mark at the end of the first leg. The race today was over a triangu lar course of thirty miles. The first m.ark,Was about fifteen miles due east of Monmouth beach, near Long Branch N. J., and the second turn J" due east of LonS Branch. The Shamrock tried to kill Reso lute s wind at the start. Each time captain Adams slipped away by bear ing off. Itesoiute Gains the Lead. The Resolute Immediately began to crawl out of the windward while foot ing almost as fast as the Shamrock. Fifteen minutes after the start, Reso lute was a quarter mile to the wind ward and holding the Shamrock well. Twenty minutes after the start both racers were holding the starboard tack with Resolute to the windward and Shamrock a trifle ahead but unable to cross Resolute's bpw. I At 2:15 boths yachts were still headed for the Long Island shore on starboard tack. Resolute had in creased her windward advantage to one-third of a mile. Shamrock con tinuously sagged off to the leeward, in order to outfoot the defender, but altho she forged ahead somewhat she was too lar to the leeward to profit by it. Breeze Is Very Light. The breeze was less than fi-e knots an hour and both yachts moved verv slowly thru the water. Resolute kept her nose well into the wind. Resolute was leading at 2:25 p. m.. forty minutes after the start, by a quarter of a mile to the windward but somewhat astern of Shamrock. The range finder on the destroyer Goldsborough at 2:35 p. m. placed the Shamrocg 400 yards ahead of Resolute but 700 yards to the leeward. Tried to Blanket Resolute. The Shamrock tried twice to blan ket the Resolute but each time the defender slipped away. The boats at one time were within biscuit toss of one another, sailing side by side. Resolute Nearly Mile Ahead. A few minutes after 3 p. m. the Resolute went about on port tack and the Shamrock followed immediately. The wind, which had been streaky and uncertain, increased to five knots an hour, and it looked like the race would be completed, altho finishing very late. The Resolute was nearly a mile ahead as the racers headed for the mark. Wind Increases Shamrock Gains. As the craft following the two racers shifted to the other tack and came along in full sail, the spectacle was thrilling. Far along the horizon the white wings bowed to the breeze. Steamers, their railings lined with spectators thoroly keyed up. steamed dignifiedly along in two parallel lines. The wind increased to six knots. Shamrock took in her No. 3 baby top sail and set a smaller on. The change was made rather slowly and Resolute increased her gain during the shift. Shamrock broke away to the star board at 3:21 p. m. She was followed at once by Resolute. Shamrock held to the starboard tack with only three minutes when she came around to port again. Reso lute held on the starboard. Skippers Are Breeze Snatching. Resolute, tacked to port at 8:27. Captain Burton, however, tacked away at once. The Shamrock was nearly twice as long in stays. Both skippers were bringing all their skill to bear with the object of snatching a breeze before the other could find ,it. At 3:32 the two yachts split tacks again. Shamrock going to starboard and Resolute to port, with the mark about four miles off Resolute's port bow. At 3:50. range finders showed the Resolute 400 yards ahead to the wind ward.. Both Shamrock and Resolute were on port tack almost heading for the mark three miles distant. DEXIES WILSON'S VETO RIGHT. Suit Brought to Compel Declaration of the End of Hostilities. Washington.

New York's outer harbor put on its best holiday suit of sunshine and favorable weather early today and waited for the' signal which was to start the second event of the classic contest for international yacht ing supremacy.

Surrendered war ships, docks and other war materials were also dealt with by the entente nations' delegates. Paris Not Satisfied. Parish July 17. Results of the al lied German conference at Spa seem to have failed to satisfy the newspapers of Paris, according to comments printed here today. "The conference," remarks St. Brice in The Journal, "wandered from the path to quick results, which is not the least of the regrets which it leaves behind it." Pertinax, political editor of the Echo De Paris, takes a more hopeful view, saying: "Notwithstanding its evasion, the conference seems to con tain more possibilities favorable to France than the results we have rec orded seem to indicate." The Figaro takes the most gloomy view, assorting: "The least that can be said is that the situation remains confused and disquieting. The allies exhausted all means, both of concilia tion and coercion, to which the Ger mans opposed the force of inertia." Berlin Backs Decision. Berlin, July 17. A semi-official statemen to the decision of the Ger man delegation at Spa to deliver two million tons of coal per month to the allies was issued here tonight. "No other decision was possible aft er Marshal Foch had been sum moned," it declared. "Cm one hand there was invasion of Germany with its incalculable political and economic consequences, and on the other a re duction by 8 per cent of the coal sup ply to German consumers, with the possibility, however, of remaining master in one's own house." The Spa correspondent of the Vos sische Zeitung censures the German delegation for allowing Hugo Stinnes, the German capitalist, to play the "role of dictator." The Kreuz Zeitung. organ of the pan-Germans, declares: "Germany' has again accepted terms which sne cannot carry out." Approval of the action of Germany s representatives is voiced by the Freiheit, organ of the Independent So- cialists.. MEX G CARDS FLEE TO V. Fear Attack on Border Town by Force of 200 Rebels.

When an aunt objected to his using the family name "Robert Edwards" agreed, and for many years he has been known as such. But when his father. Edward Ridgely. son of Charles Ridgely, Springfield, 111., millionaire, died, he resented the aunt's objections to his presence at the funeral and applied for a legal order restoring his proper name. Today "Edwards" bears his own name as a result of the granting of the order. "Edwirds's" father in curred the family displeasure when he eloped to Little Rock. Ark., and mar ried Miss Fannie Clark. Nothing was said of the child when, four months after its birth, the family learned of the elopement and insisted upon another marriage. When relatives learned of the birth of the son they opposed letting it being Edwards was brought up unaware of the fact that he was a Ridgely.

Los Angeles, July 17. Los Angeles today began to take stock of the dam age caused by the four earthquakes which shook this city and the sur rounding country yesterday. Thruout the city today there was still a slight feeling of nervousness, but it was accompanjed by an effort to get back to normal. Many people slept out of doors last night and others remained up all night. It was feared by many that the shocks might be repeated. Many Persons Injured. Thousands of dollars of property damage was done, according to esti mates today. Many .persons were in jured, but so far no fatalities have been reported. The last quake came at 8: IS p. m. I was the lightest of all. It caused very little damage. That the end of the world had come, was the fear felt by many as the schocks continued thruout the day. The first one at 10:10 a. m. was comparatively light, but the second and third at 1:27 and 1:30 p. m., re spectively, were exceedingly violent and shook buildings. Fire Alarms Sounded. Occupants of office buildiaigs left for the street after the secorud quake and business was at a standstill for the rest of the dav. S"our hundred prisoners in the county Jail became hysterical and de manded to be released. Elevator oper ators say that their cars were rocked by the quakes. Pandemonium broke loose when fire alarms were sounded after the third ousike. Wires were smashed by failing bricks and caused several alarms to be sent in. All Damages Slight. A list of those injured by the quake 'itself would be barren, but it brought "In its train some scores of slight hurts due to falling objects jarred down dn the heads of pedestrians, to jams in stores and other public jlaces and to attacks of hysteria and nervousness which filled every emergency hospital and taxed the facilities of the city's first aid station. No accurate estimate of either money damage nor physical injuries will ever be made, the authorties be lieved, because scores of minor hurts and losses will go unreported. MORE TROOPS ARE SENT.

They are, in short, becom ing great institutions of learning. The Kansas Free Fair to be held In Topeka, September 13 to 18, 1920, will be a vivid illustration ef this fact. New departments have been added, elaborate programs of education and entertainment prepared a id greater inducements offered exhibitors in every line of activity. Demonstrations and talks by experts in various lines will add to the educational features of every department. Increased interest in the raising of pure bred stock was evidenced last year by the quality and quantity of the exhibits in this department. Ac tivities of stock raisers since that time indicate that an increased number of fine cattle, horses, hogs and sheep will be seen at the fair this vear. Im provements on the free fair grounds include two new swine barns, bringing the total up to twelve. Better Slock, More Money. Farmers thruout the west are awak ening to the fact that better stock brings more rnoney and this newly awakened interest is being felt in the increased demands for stalls in the stock pavilion. The big cattle and horse pavilions embrace every modern convenience for the care and comfort of the animals during the week, and become the mecca of tens of thou sands of stock lovers from all parts or me luiaaie west. nr. j. w. Camp bell, of Manhattan, is supervisor of the livestock departments. Entries close August 30. The agricultural department, of which Frank O. Blecha, of Topeka, is superintendent, is always one of the biggest features of the Free Fair. Kansas is supreme in agriculture and the quality and quantity of the ex hibits from the various counties are a credit to the state. Standardization of the exhibits will make it possible to accommodate a much larger num ber of exhibits this year. All county exnioits are now built to occupy booths fourteen feet long and with a ten-foot back wall. Entries for this department also close August 30. Next to livestock and agriculture, poultry raising is one of the most im portant activities among Kansas farm ers. Uniform cooping will enable the poultry department to accommodate 1,500 birds this year and it is expected every inch of the space will be util ized. Wire coops are furnished by the fair association for exhibition pur poses. Thomas Owen, of Topeka, is superintendent of the poultry depart ment. Entries do not close until Sep tember 11, but exhibitors are remind ed that the earlier their applications are received the surer they will be of getting accommodations. The Good Koads deartment is a somewhat recent but extremely im portant feature of the Free Fair. Agi tation for good roads has reached a fever heat thruout the country and Kansas has been one of the leaders in this march of modern progress. The economy of better highways will be demonstrated -by charts and speakers. unuer tne supervision of H. S. Putney, of Topeka. The machinery department, with H. ri. Pugh, of Topeka, at the head, i: growing larger each year. Demonstra tions of tractors and other farm ma chinery in connection with the elabor ate exhibits have made this depart ment an irresistible attraction for the farmers. Nr do thesa prosperous agriculturists and stockmen overlook Motor Hall where a showing of the latest makes and models of cars is held every day. New Department a Feature. The newest department of the Free Fair is one calculated to educate peo ple in tne raising oi Detter, healthier families. The well known principles of heredity and scientific care that the farmer lavishes on his stock are made to apply to the human race to the end that it may enjoy better health, longer life and greater prosperity This department was for years a dream of i Secretary Phil Eastman and the plans were worked out after long confer ences with Dr. Florence Brown Sher- non, chief of the division of child hygiene of the state board of health. Children of any age. as well as adults. will be weighed and examined by the must approvea ana reliable methods. The boys' and girls" club depart ments have proved such a success that they will hereafter be an integral ipart of the Free Fair. Every foot of space in the newly erected building was occupied in 1319 ana additional space this year will be required. The domestic science departments are the paramount attractions for women. The Canning club exhibits occupy a large space and together with the textile and culinary divisions form an important and interesting feature oi tne r ree Fair. The entertainment features planned for this year are more elaborate than usual. There will be four days of horseracing. In the four early closing stake races for $1,000 purses there have been 143 horses entered, prom ising the biggest and fastest track in the history of the Kansas Free Fair association. Night Spectacle. The Hawaiian Nights fireworks spectacle will be the feature of the evening enter:ainments, in which more than 300 persons will participate.. -Many acts or high class vaudeville will be included in this show. "The Sunflower Trail," with which the Wortham shows made such a hit last year, will play a. return engagement this season. The auto races will be held on the last two days of the fair and so far promise to be of unusual interest to race fans. TO BACK UNIONS Cox and KooseTelt to Confer With Wilson.

Further criticism f and four-party rates from $1.80 to will handle the of the law is on the assertion that the act itself is broader than the title and is unconstitutional because the pur pose of the legislature is not clearly expressed in the title. "The act seeks to confer some power, authority or duty not hitherto existing upon the courts of Kansas," Howat's attorneys contended in their supplemental answer. It is argued that the statute does not provide suf ficient enabling power to have war ranted Judge Curran in Issuing his writ. Judpe Curran's jurisdiction is questioned under court authority con veyed in the law. "It must follow, says the reply, "that this contempt proceeding being based on the un constitutional act creating the court of industrial relations is in all respects utterly void and must fall. Answering the question of man damus proceedings in the case, the answer says: "It is basic that man damus will not He except to compel the performance of a ministerial duty." 'Art Is Unconstitutional." Concluding the lengthy attack on the new court law, Howat's attorneys assert: "Said act being unconstitutional, the court of industrial relations has no le gal existence and the district court of Crawford county was and is without jurisdiction or authority to enter the judgment from which this appeal is taken." Howat was cited for contempt in April when he refused to obey a sum mons to testify before the court of in dustrial relations. At that time the court was sitting in Crawford county and was hearing testimony in the coal mine cases. Following his citation for contempt, the mine union head appealed to the court.

Plans for reorganization of the en tire parole system of the state were worked out this afternoon at a confer ence which Governor Allen held with members of the board of administra tion and heads of penal institutions. One of the first steps will be a general j nun iciaaaiiiLBUUIl i L prison ers who for obvious reasons should be removed from one institution to an other. Reports heard today by the gover nor were to the effect that many young men and first time prisoners are at the penitentiary in Lansing. On the other hand a number of hardened criminals are in the Hutchinson re formatory. These men will be trans ferred. By the same token several older boys from the industrial institute at Topeka .will be sent to the reform atory. The new system also means that trial judges will send detailed reports of all criminal cases to the prisons when men and women are committed. These reports will be confidential. Parole hearings before the governor will be limited to cases in which favorable recommendations have been made by the trial Judge, county at torney, prosecuting witness, prison head and members of the state board. This system will mean fewer cases be fore the governor. Individual cases are to be carefully studied and a new system of classifica tion of prison inmates adopted.

The one board member who lived thirtv feet outside the city limits, in whose age the law wag not concerned at nil, joined in protest with city members. If exact nge is so vital why Is such a large per cent of voters excused Upon their looks, or own recognizance? 2. Very many people, especially colored people ore unfortunate In having no au thentic records of birth, yet the constitu tion guarantee the right of citizenship to all and in Section 010 there Is a penalty prescribed for the officer's refusing to reg ister the applicant. 3. If specific age is ss much of a quali fication as correct residence why does not the law provide for the amended registra tion certificate when a birthday occurs between registration nnd voting. The fact is the law did contemplate the change of age and for that reason fixed the legal age rb "21 yearg or over" becanse that it unchanging and definite. 4. The poll book referred to in the statute. Section 012, has a hlnnk for "occu pation" yet there is no penalty for having none, and one's occupation may change any day. There Beetns to be a disposition to lum ber up the registration books with irre levant and immaterial matter. As long as occuppntion has absolutely nothing to do with Toting qualifications under the law, why try to saddle "occupation" such as 'housekeeper."

If the registration questions could be eg n fined to essentials one half the force could do the work at a saving In expense to the taxpay- 5. Any law that works hardship or em barrassment upon a very large number of people should be amended. There are many working men and women who have no desire to call atten tion to their ages. The demand for young blood throws the elderly man out nil too soon: emphasizes his age and his employer inevitably attributes every mistake to "his growing old. Many unmarried women hnve a right to want to forget their age, becanse of the mischievous spirit of. gossip .that twits them with it. Petty stuff, Ivou sav Granted, yet all voters and public offi cials are more or less human. Now. in as much as the law gives th registration -officer no right whatsoever to ask how much over 21 years, or to be captious about the answer in figures, it Is evident that the registrant might answer what he chooses as long as he is within the legal qualification or under Section ftl5 he mny ask to be sworn that he will be of full legal age at next election.

But let us say in conclusion that while the burden of this controversy is upon the shoulders of the women, there have been many sensitive men who have refused to give their ages and have not registered.

Sedgwick County Voting Place of Two Candidates. MACHINE jTTFTER ALLEN Potts-Amidon Crowd Hope to Crush the Governor. Other Sews of Interest to Poli ticians of Kansas. BY A. I.. SHULTZ. Just as Ohio is to be the battle ground in the presidential fight, so Sedgwick county may provide the Kubernatorial battlefield in Kansas.; The efforts of many wise Democrats! are Deingr directed m herding the par ty vote to Dempster o. Potts, Wichita lavyer, who would meet Governor Al len in battle on horrft; ground. It is the dream of the Allen opposition to defeat or at least greatly reduce Al len's majority in Sedgwick and they feel that this may be accomplished thru selection of the Wichita man. I'otts entered the race during the closing hours for filing. He has been active in Wichita and Sedgwick poli tics for a number of years and is rated as a leader in the organization which has for eight years made Sedgwick county disputed political territory in this state. Potts is said to carry the unqualified support of Sam Amidon. rational committeeman. Amidon is In possession of the best Democrat organization in the state. These things will in no manner cripple Potts's chances in the August primaries. For some years Sara Amidon's am bition has been to crush Governor Al- QUIT TOBACCO So easy to drop Cigarette, Cigar, or Chewing habit No-To-Bac has helped thousands to break the costly, nerve-shattering to hacco habit.

He is rated as one of the shrewdest lawyers in southern Kansas. In the state convention- at Wichita he was re-elected committeeman without op position. During the 'Frisco conven tion he was general chairman of the McAdoo campaign organization.. He came back to Kansas prepared to fight Governor Allen to a finish. H is said to have, expressed the belief that with the labor organization which will get behind Potts that the Demo crats can carry the county in Novem ber. Potts in said to be a good cam paigner. He has been farmiliar with state politics for several years and has helped direct his district and county organization. Backed by the personal efforts of Amidon and surrounded by the atmosphere of genuine and open hostility in the Allen-Amidon camps. Sedgwick county and the Mate will see a real battle if Potts wins the! primary nomination. David W. Mulvane, Republican na tional committeeman, will leave Mon day for Marion, O., where he will at tend the notification ceremonies-' for Senator Warren O. Harding, presi dential nominee. A number of other Kansans may attend the ceremonies. Will Hays, national chairman, has al lotted 500 tickets to Kansas. Cover- t nor Allen was extended an especial i invitation, as were all men who were placed in nomination in Chicago for either president or vice president. The governor, however, will be unable to attend the notification. Political interest in Kansas next week will doubtless center in the meeting of the Labor union-Nonparti- san league meeting in Topeka Mon day. A central organization composed of labor union heads and representa tives from the Nonpartisan league was formed in Emporia last spring. This committee is slated to extend endorse ments to candidates for various offi ces. It will make selections m each. case where a primary contest has de veloped. Governor Allen probably will spend much of his time on the platform dur ing the week preceding the November election. He has already arranged a series of meetings beginning next week. Later he will make an extend ed campaign trip thru the state, ac cording to present plans, and may also invade a number of other states in re sponse to call from the Republican national committee. Officers of the Republican state committee have spent a busy week looking for suitable headquarters. H. H. Motter, state chairman, has been in Topeka much of Che time in the last two weeks and expects to maintain ac tive headquarters until after the No vember election. At present the 1918 headquarters in the Central National bank building are being used, but will not be available for the campaign. David W. Mulvane, Republican na tional committeeman, will spend much of his time in aiding in organization of mid-west states. Mulvane. who is rated as one of the shrewdest mem bers of the national organization, will be called upon not only to aid in whip ping the Kansas fighting machine into shape, but in repairing reaks in sev eral other states. It is said to be the Topekan's plan to spend a portion of his time in central headquarters in Chicago, altho he will be much in con ference with party leaders in Missouri valley states relative to pre-election plans. The Democrats have failed to reach a decision as to headquarters plans. Forest Luther, state chairman, has indicated that quarters may be main tained in Topeka. This course is said to be favored by a number of Bourbon leaders. On the other hand a move has been made to take, the party of fices to Wichita or Hutchinson. One plan is to maintain general headquar ters in Topeka with a big branch office in Wichita. The Democrats are not expected to open quarters until late August or early September. NEW RECORD IN JUNE BRIDES Kansas Even Surpassed War Mar riages of 1917 Tills Year. Kansas broke a record this year in the number of June brides who walked blushingly to the altar. Even the war record of 1917 was beaten as love dreams were realized in matrimony last month. A total of 2,527 weddings occurred in the state last month as against a former high record of 2,328 for June, 1917. In 1917 sentiment and romance and patriotism combined to establish a new high record for matrimonial ven- j tures. Even when the boys marched ttwaj IU V ai Vl li id ii anting t-auitra, the tendency to build a happy home for two wasn't so great as in the month Just ended. The high cost of living apparently does not frighten the lovers one bit. For the first six months of the year there were 11,109 weddings in Kansas as compared with 8,4 57 for the same period last year, 8,752 for 1918 and 9,659 for 1917.

Strong for renomination in the Re publican primaries is being made by trips tnru the air. It is the first real aerial campaign in this state, altho on occasion several candidates have made short flights. But the Fifth district fight has called into use the plane and pilots and permitted filling of speaking dates that are Impossible under train sched ules or even by motor car. Joe T. Marshall of Concordia is the candi date who has taken to the air in an effort to cover his district and gather enough votes to defeat Congressman Strong for a second term nomination. A former Topekan and for years a widely known athletic director is aid ing in Marshall's air flight. In fact the former Topekan is supplying the plane. Dr. John Outland. who coached and whipped into shape the never defeated Washburn football team of 1906. is owner of the plane. He has placed it at the disposal of Marshall and the candidate and the doctor answer long distance calls for medical attention or go on lengthy scouting trips for votes and scatter campaign literature from the skies. Doctor Outland is known bv everv football fan in the middle west and was for years one of the most popular athletic directors in tne Mis souri valley.

Short age of building material is seriously handicapping the construction of wheat storage bins in Kansas, accord ing to W. G. Ward, extension archi tect of the Kansas State Agricultural college. Dimension lumber and siding are most seriously needed. Where suf ficient building material is not avail able, Mr. Ward advises the construc tion of makeshift floors with sides for storing the wheat in the open. Farmers are unable to get deliveries on steel bins on account of the car shortage. Many wheat growers have stackei their wheat and will await better transportation facilities for threshing and marketing it. Cases of profiteering by threshing crews have been reported from Leav enworth county. The farmers who have their wheat in stack will save on the threshing bill because their work will await a lull in business. One Leavenworth county farmer reported to the extension division that a thresh ing machine operator offered to thresh his wheat for seven cents a bushel if he would wait until after the rush. His price now is fifteen cents a bushel. SHOPMEN ARE SATISFIED Strike Threat Ironed Out and Kf ficirtney Is Maintained. A meeting of Santa Fe shopmen was held Friday night at the city audi torium to discuss a new contract to be offered the company. Several hundred men attended. The meeting was held behind closed doors, with guards on duty at each door and window. Union leaders declared that the meeting eliminated all chance of a strike for the present time, but would not say just what plans were adopted. They asserted that everything vras sailing smoothly and that all trouble was ironed out. It is believed the cooler heads among the union leaders realize the urgency of maintaining a maximum of efficiency in car repair work on ac count of the movement of the wheat crop and the serious coal situation thruout the country. While some of the men say "you never can tell what may happen," the majority are earnest in their assurances that no strike is contemplated. NEGRO BARBECUE PJCXIC.

The Santa Fe handled 4,611,096,091 gross ion mnes irom January 1 to June 1 this year, an increase of 402.337.636 gross ton miles over the figures for tne corresponding period of 1919. More than 15,024 cars of grain were loaded by the Santa Fe in the five months period. Fox reported. Altho every other industry has in creased its facilities for production, railroad corporations have not. be cause of the trackage required in or der to increase the running power. The reason allotted by Fox for the fact that the Santa Fe has not im proved and enlarged its .rail mileage is the road's unwillingness to make patrons pay for an exorbitant price in steel. The following table, showing the comparison of freight traffic on the eastern lines of the Santa Fe, Chicago to Newton, and south to Purcell, Okla., for the years 1912 to 1919, inclusive, is printed for the purpose of showing the steady increase, despite the handi caps.

J. C. Phipps Says "Victim" Was Hurt in Railway Accident. His memory gone, a big scar on the side of his head, John Woody, one of Rufe King's supposed victims, is wan dering around in California, according to an affidavit obtained in California by John J. Schenck, one of King's attorneys. The affidavit, signed by J. C. Phipps, for years a resident of Paxico, states that Phipps knew Woody well in former years when both lived at Paxico. At present Phipps is operat ing a restaurant at Los Angeles. Phipps says that on May 28 two men came into his restaurant. One of them was the very picture of John Woody, he says. "I said, "Hello, John," and he looked at me blankly," the affidavit reads. "His partner tapped significantly on his head and I knew then that there was something the matter with the man's mind. i "I talked with him quite a while. He told me that he had been injured in a railroad accident in Oregon sev eral years ago. At that time he said he was working on a ranch near Long Beach for the man who was in tne restaurant with him. Remembered IJttle. "I put several questions to him con cerning Paxico. Once I said some thing about Uncle George Woody. For a minute his eyes ugntea ana l couiu see his memory was coming back. "'How Is Big George?' he asked. Then that light faded away in his eyes and again he was Walter S. True, from nowhere as he called himself. "Another time I asked him If I looked familiar. Again that light in his eves and he said: 'You would if you still had your mustache on. "I always wore a mustache when I lived in Kansas. "I begged him to stay all night with me. I wanted to wire back to Kansas for authority to hold him. as I knew about the Rufe King case." There have been several stories about John Woody being seen in Texas and later in Los Angeles. Mrs. Leota Fowler, at present an inmate of the State hospital, swore in an affi davit prior to her entrance into the state institution that she knew Woody in Los Angeles and "kept company" with him there. The King trial Is scheduled to open October 19. NATURALIZED BEFORE VOTING. Attorney General Hopkins Gives Rul ing on Privilege Law. All foreign born persons must be naturalized before they can vote, ac cording to an opinion by Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1920 5 HOOTING. A SWEET Cnrfl lf Golf Hooks and Slices, Teed O 1 1 VrV yj From Around the Sandboxes at the Shawnee and Country Clubs in Topeka. Bv'ajc' The current issue of the Century magazine contains one of the best golf stones or the season. 'Alibi" is the title. Here is a paragraph that is in teresting to the average golfer: "If there's anything that puts me off my fame quicker thn anything else," he lectured, "it's to hare a man ailvise me. from my friends I want friend ship only. Wheu I iieed-odvke I go to -a t'rofessional." Because a golf course has the ap pearance of a "millionaire's lawn" and is a gently rolling park, dotted with flags and flashy knickerbockers, the causual observer wonders at -the diffi culty of finding the hole with a lively solf ball and open faced clubs. Here is the description of a golf course taken from a recent magazine that ex plains it: "Obviously, to the strnnger on the Teranda, it is too well manicured to offer sport. It Is too refined. It lacks the complications without which no true golfer can be content. It should be maintained exclusively for poets and artists. But the professional who supervised the engineering was by birth a seer and a bushwhacker by education. To judge from the crafti ness displayed in his handiwork he could prnbfibly have ambushed an Anach in broad daylight in the middle of a field as level and unobstructed as a billiard table Not merely against par ilws one compere nu this course; not against the edcrepit and outlawed '-'!inifi not even against an opponent in the flesh the game is played against the fiendish imagination and Ingenuity of Donald Uoss. Witness the unex pected hanging side hill lies; witness the undulating greens of almost impos sible keenness; witness the paucity of hazards, the infreqtienry of rough, the astonishing presence of both when ever a shot wanders fitfully from the line of geometrical progress. Some day the Shawnee players will b able to quote the above paragraph. That course was laid out by Donald Ross and the work afforded him great pleasure because of the unusual opportunities to create his hazards from the product of nature without the aid of pick and shovel. Friends of Dave August, who plays out at t-'hawnee, are accusing him of yelling "Three .Ninety-Eight!" at a listless caddy the other day. j The action of the directors of the Country club in giving up the develop ment of the Shawnee course and de ciding to add nine holes to the present links, has caused considerable discus sion on the verandas over the ad vantages and disadvantages of "sporty" golf. "Sporty" golf is a game flayed on a most hazardous course. The more hills, the iiiori side hill lies, the more treacherous the course, the more 'sporty' the game. The Shawnee course is conceded to be the real "sporty" yard in Topeka. The golfers who favor the present Country club course seem to be in the maorify. Here is their argument: (Jolf distinctly is a business man's game. There ;ire the scratch players, to be sure. There are .the younger fellows who glory in the difficult shots and who climb up and down hill with out a sign of exhaustion. It is argued, however, that to make golf a real pleasure it must be taken in doses of recreation and not effort. The Country club course is roly-poly enough to make a 72 par most diffi cult even for the best players. On the other hand a man may swing around eighteen holes, take a shower and feel at ease with his family on the veranda for the rest of the evening. And the Country club players who tako this angle are not in the retired class either. They are red-blooded humans who take golf seriously. Brassy lies are becoming: more at tractive each year at Shawnee. The wire grass, mowed -consistently, has made the sod heavy and pliable. Fair ways on ail the lone: holes arc now well greened with this natural Kansas Your Tire Bills YOU can gave the price of from four to seven inner tubes this year.

It makes a natural tee. Charlie Mitchell (weight 240), dressed in duck and white silk and gleaming hat was sauntering down No. 1 the other day when a little negro caddy turned to a pal and said: "Who's dat great white way?" The accompanying picture explains the long-told story of Charlie Mitch ell's feat last fear when he swung at a ball on the drive, heeled it, slightly, looked off to the horizon for its sail, yelled at his caddy to run after it and then growled like a lion because the gollery at the tee was laughing. The orcat White Welglfc The caddy was flustrated and walked in circles. Mitchell yelled at him again to go hunt the ball. The gallery by that time was in an uproar. Mitchell gTowled again and started down the fairway. He admitted he didn't see the ball In its flight but knew it must be somewhere on the course. If the reader will take another look at the picture he will note that Mitch ell cannot be blamed for not seeing; the ball. It rolled about twelve inches from the tee to a point Just below Charlie's first ."bunker." Dr. George Allen, who Is playincr his best game this year, made a 37 on the first nine holes of the semi-finals with Ed Brackett for the Country club championship Monday and won the match 7 up. The score would indi cate a one-sided game and it was in the number of holes won by Allen but Brackett put. up a. game fight. His opponent was shooting sweet golf from the start. Brackett, who is only in his second season of golf, won his way into the semi-finals by defeating the club's crack player, Frank Griggs, last week and it was predicted that, barring a slump, he would stand a good chance for the club champion ship. Owing to the fact that he is a new player there was considerable boosting behind him. Allen made two 4's on No. 1 Monday. His score, Brackett says and Lord knows, Braokett should know was Just a steady flock of birdies. "Myriads of business and profes sional men residing in country towns are going to attire themselves in shameless knickers and short sleeved shirts and rem'w their youth in the "reen fields and beside the still wa Supply Co. and Qulncy. Topeka, Kan. ters. Men who are too old for tennis and baseball and too masculine for croquet and too negligent to hold themselves to any drudging routine of exercise are going to find in golf a real elixir of youth the only golden pan acea that will bring back a has-been." A prediction by George Ade. "The prettiest, best attired, most fashionable foursome in Kansas," commented a Country club player as he watched a match swing down on No. 5 the other day. And he was about right. In the match were Mra. Charles Wolff, Mrs. Dana Davii, Mrs. Ivan Dibble and Mrs. Kurtz Kellam. The interest in golf and the clubs springing up in the smaller towns of Kansas bear out Mr. Ade's assertions. But register disgust! we don't like that expression, "too old for ten nis or baseball." Golf has ceased to be "an old man's game." Funny how golf gets 'em. Qn the two Topeka courses Monday afternDon probobly there were fifty business men, who. If dampened in a rain storm down town, would have rushed home, changed their clothes, taken a hot bath, doped their chests and prayed for deliverance from pneumonia. The rain came down in sheets, it soaked the same business men to the skin, it made the grass a field of influenia and still these followers of the erst while Colonel Bogey played thru to the end. The rain made possible a beautiful assortment of alibis, to be sure, but it did not disturb the matches. Again we say it's funny how golf gets 'em. This Is the day the Shawnee and Country clubs play their second "Neighbor Tournament" of the sea son. The Shawnees are playing over on the Dudley course. A few weeks ago the Country club players trimmed the Highland Park golfers on their home grounds the first time a visit ing club has been able to inflict such a drubbing. Revenge is sought out today. The "Neighbor Tournament" sug gests a plan that has ,been talked up frequently of late at both clubs. It is proposed that each Saturday or Sunday ton players from each club visit the other for match play. In this manner the players would become belter acquainted and golfers would become accustomed to the oiled sand and grass greens. -Tom Clark, the Blue Hills profes sional, widely known in western pro fessional golf circles, probably will be with another club next summer. Clark is contemplating a change and already has received several offers from out-of-town clubs. Clark, whose brother Walter is professional of the Denver Country' club, is one of the best play ers in the middle west, and has a wide reputation as a golf instructor and a club maker. Kansas City Star. Harlow Hurley, crack golfer of the Topeka Country club, played a round at the Country club recently and tied the, amateur record of 70, whirh was made by JaWard. Hurley and Ward left Thursday night to play in the Western at Memphis. Ray Ouimet of Hillcrest did not make the trip. Kan sas City Star. Topekans who match at the Kansas City Country club tell of the playins ui iiranatatner ward, the second generation ahead of Jimmie Ward. famous Kansas City amatur. The old gentleman is 73 years of am but still plays a mighty sweet game of golf. Driving with an iron but deadly in his approaches and putts he shoots in in. win tier on nine otten. &everai years aro "Grandfather" Ward de cided that he would quit Sunday golf. He never misses a Sabbath on the links, but it is the longest day of the week to the veteran enthusiast. He .spends his time watching the matches and following the players over the course. Arch Catlin of tie Country club, altho a fisherman and a hunter, has sworn hatred towards woods In gen eral and a clump of trees at the Kansas City Country club in particu lar. While playing with the Topeka bankers against the Kansas City bank ers in the annual tournament Wed- Layer view of LEE Cord Puncture-Proof I r L) f lL t nesday, Catlin, In driving thru a wooded fairway, struck a huge tree amidships. The ball bounced off the original victim and hit another thirty yards away. From the second tree it bounded to a third and when Catlin found his ball he was in worse shape than If he had been back at the tee with two lost strokes. Ten Topeka golfers will go to Law rence Sunday where a 3-way tourna ment will be played between Topeka, Lawrence and Ottawa. These inter city affairs have become popular in Kansas. In another year it is believed that Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Ottawa. Sallna and Abilene will form a "golf .league" for week-end matches. The members of the Topeka Coun try club who will play in the tourna ment are: Robert Tates, Frank Crane. E. E. Sallee, Monte Kistler, A. M. Catlin, F. W. Griggs, Dr. George Allen. Dr. Wilson Hobart. George Sny der and I. W. Felix. Several other Topekans will drive to Lawrence to compose the "gallery." The Kansas City bankers won from the Topeka bankers in the tenth an nual tournament at Kansas City Wednesday. Six points separated the winners from the losers. The To pekans won at the Country club two weeks ago. The match was played on the Beautiful Kansas City Country club course and many close seores were made by the opposing teams. The feature of the event was the vic tory of E. L. Copeland and Frank Griggs over Edward Sweeney and Ed ward Bragg. For ten years Ccpeland has been gathering Topeka players to his bosom and has been attempting to win from the Sweeney-Bragg com bination. This is the first time he has tasted the fruits of a win. The To peka pair won 2 up. Griggs shot a 78 with a 41 out and a 37 in. The only other Topekans who won their matches were Robert Pierce and Frank Bonebrake. Topeka Country club golfers who played at Kansas City wera E. L. Copeland, J. R. Koonti, J. M. Connell, W. W. Strick land, J. C. Fink, Frank Bonebrake, Robert Pierce, Frank Griggs, Geo. W. Guild. George Snyder, Dr. W. N. West, Dr. George Allen and Arch Catlin. Dr. George Allen played a practice round at the Kansas City Country club course this week and turned in a 37 on nine holes. This was made as a scare to create a mental handicap for the benefit of Joe Wilson, his op ponent for the Country club cham pionship. A prominent Topekan decided that it was wrong to play for so much a hole. He announced the fact to three of a regular foursome and they made life miserable for him the following two weeks. They allowed him to join their crowd but not once did they wait for him to drive or to hole out. They just accepted his company but ignored his game. Finally, one day he announced proudly that he would play for a "dollara hole" Instead of the usual ten cents. In amazement they inquired as to his change of heart and religion. "Well," he explained. "I have decided that to bet on golf is not gambling. You are stmplyplac ing a premium on your ability." "Pete" Mlddleton, Churchill Sar gent, "Bub" Crow, Jack Crow and Warren Bailey. all of Shawnee, played three rounds on the Manhattan Country club course this week. Altho he never played the course before. State Champion Mlddleton made a 37 medal on nine holes and the amateur record for the links is 36. :nurcnui Sargent, who is playing his first sea son of golf, shot a 46 on one round. Recent golf guests from out of town at the Country club include. G. M. Patterson, Kansas City. Mo.: Irving Hill, C. C. Carl. Otto Barteldes. Dr. H. T. Jones and Whitney, of Law rence: W. H. Whltmore, Robert Stona and W. K. Bramwell. all of Kansas City Mo.: George B. Davis and Robert J. Anderson, of St. Louis: E. J. Curtis and C. A. Armstrong, of Clinton, Jo wa; I. B. Towle, Lincoln, Neb. E. A. Tirrill, secretary of the Country club, won the second flight of the club consolation when he defeated J. C. Fink 5 and 4. Tirrill won from Fink, from Kistler 2 and 1 and from Whitney 7 and 5. The Country club championship finals will be played next week when Dr. George Allen and Joe Wilson meet after fighting their way thru a series of hard battles. The match will be one of the most Interesting in many seasons, and a good gallery will ac company the players. Allen has de feated Morgan, Clithero, Snyder and Brackett. Wilson has won from Crane, Hobart, Lyman and Hurley the latter by default. Allen is playing his best game this season and turned in one 37 in his semi-finals with Brackett. Allen Is former champion of the Shaw nee club. Wilson, altho not a record breaker in medal play, is a "bear-cat" on match. His strongest game Is Jn recovery and in allowing his "blow ups" to consolidate on one or two holes. The day for the finals has not been set. A. J. Clark won the Class B cjiara- Pionshin from Thrartn txn th. CKW nee course this week. He took the match with little effort. Clark is play ing tin-ton irolf thi doubtedly will graduate into Class A ucmio me season enas.

Reaching the twenty seventh hole of the match, 3 up. it looked easy sailing for the Edgewater star, and still rosier when the next two were halved. Then came a quick shift in the situation as Jones won the twelfth hole with a birdie 3. took the next with a par 4 and squared at the FATHER ADDED FIVE ROOMS TO HOUSE, DR. H. G. HOGEBOOM TEARS THEM OUT 35 v 1 n i i s -AJ. L,n, L-tfc- 1.1. r- L The Hogoboom Home, Sixth Forty years ago G. W. Hogeboom came to Topeka in a covered wagon from Oskaloosa and purchased from Alex Adams the house on the south west corner of Sixth avenue and Tay lor street. He added five rooms to it, making a total of thirteen rooms. To day his son. Dr. H. G. Hogeboom, is tearing the five rooms out In order to adapt the house to his needs. The house was built in 1872 by H. W. McAfee, father of the present county commissioner. Two years later it was sold to Alex Adams. Sev eral years later it was purchased by G. W. Hogeboom and remodeled Adams and his family moved onto a farm north of Topeka. His son, Frank Adams, married and took charge of the farm, and the parents moved to North Topeka. During the fourteenth, with another par I, the result of a fine Iron second. "Chick" had a bit of luck In running thru a grass trap at the fifteenth hole but he got his 4 and also halved the shorb sixteenth, leaving the match all square with two to play. Jones reached the near edge of the green at the seventeenth hole by a fine second. Putting a little extra steam into his iron shot to get inside his opponent's ball, "Chick" pulled into a grass ditch to the left of the green, and It looked as if only a bit ot luck would get even a half. Chick dug in with his niblick. Just cleared the edge of the ditch and curled past the hole thirteen feet. This recovery brought a cheer from the gallery, but another broke loose from the Atlanta boy's friends when he ran his long approach putt four feet from the pin. Chick had a down hill putt and the ball curled into the cup for a miraculous par three. Jones rimmed the cup and was 1 down witn 1 to nlay. Both had long approacn putts on the home green and got par fours, giving the match to Evans. The Evans-Jones match will live long in the annals of Tennessee golf and the 1,500 Memphisans who per spired in the wake of the nortnern and southern stars remained until the final putt was holed. It was a heart breaking match lor DOtn piayers. Chick took a lead of 1 up at the sec ond hole and from that point on the TT-ntch see-sawed. Twice Bobby Jones went to the front, while four times th Chicago nlaver was In the lean They were never more than a hole apart and only six of the eighteen holes were halved. Robert Tates won the honors of the first flight consolation club champion ship ot the Country club this week. He took the finals from Dick Hayden 4 and 2. Yates won his way to the finals by- defeating L'pdegraff. Crane and Catlin. Hayden defeated Morgan, Dibble and Campbell. In the cham pionship flight Hayden'' was eliminated by Brackett and Yates was put .'nto the consolation by Felix. The finals of the first flight completes the conso lation play. E. A. Tirrill won the finals of the second flight last week. The championship honors lie between Allen and Wilson. Quinton Reeves won the nonthly caddy tournament at the Country club this week. He turned In a medal of 45 for the nine holes. Bernard Hammer was second with a 4 8 and George Prescott third with a 49. .The Country club caddies are allowed to play one day a week. Tournaments are held each month. The club serves refreshments after the tournaments. Thirty-three boys entered the July event. Caddymaster Howard has devel oped excellent results among the cad dies in the last few weeks. The re ports turned in by the players show what organization and control and dis cipline mean among the 125 young sters who form the Country club caddy force. In the last week $180 In caddy fees was collected at the Country club. This means that 600 rounds were played by golfers this week. If each golfer played but one round. It would mean a total of 600 players on the course. Howard says that the players are turning in better reports on the cad dies. The cards call for "good," "fair" and "poor" marks for the boys. The poor checks are diminishing and the goods" are increasing. LOOK FOR REAL GAME SUNDAY BoJoit Tjearacrs. Independent Cham pions, Here After Santa Fe Scalps. The calm that precedes the storm reigns In the Santa Fe camp today. For it will surely be a storm when the Beloit Leaguers and the locals match their skill on the Western league dia mond at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Enthused with a series of victories, hardened by daily practice and skilled with years of professional playing, the Leaguers are coming to Topeka with the intent of walking away with the game. Most of their men are former big league players and among the best on the diamond. The Leaguers are the Independent champions of Kansas and have defeat ed several league teams in exhibition games. They have lost only three games to Kansas ctubs in two years, up to July 10, 1920. They have never lost a series to a Kansas club. In cluding their Colorado tour, they have won twenty-nine out of thirty-seven games this season. The Santa Fe club, this season has not lost a game. All comers have been easy victims. But the dopesters have it that in the Beloit club the locals have found their match.- But whether his men win or lose. Manager Wells promises the visitors an unusually warm and hearty reception. The Leaguers intend to pitch Tom Blodgett, one of the best southpaws in baseball today. He was formerly with Columbus and later with the New York Giants.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1920 THINGS MOVIES HAVE DONE When asked recently what the movies had done for the world, Han nibal N- Clermont, of Clermont Pho toplays corporation, touched the high lights as follows: Developed new dramatic talent and re juvenated tbe old. I J reached the gospel to the poor by pre senting tbe great truths in a language they understand. ltrscucd the world from jaz music and developed a taste for good music among tue common people. Uroiight a golden age to musicians by Bt-uuraging and employing musical talent. 4 lave the common people their first good ntertafument at prices they could afford. Created many new and lucrative, profes sions as director, c:imermait. art director, ciiarlo writer, film editor, production manager, etc., etc. tiladdened and lengthened the lives of tbe old by giving them a new interest in life. Made education easier, cheaper, better and more available to all. Gave the churches a new medium for the saving of souts and for spreading propa ganda in an attractive manner. Stimulated and improved arts and crafts. Kscmirnged writers and made the masses familiar Hith standard literary works.

Helped a million movements for uplift, welfare and lelief: have done much to win the war, to finance the Liberty Loans and to make the average citizen acquainted with the government. Many more good works have the pictures done, but greatest of these is the making of higher education cheap and available to all (only just started) and bringing the world to lasting peace by making the far flung peonies understand each other.

Monday. In SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS Tuesday Is Circus Day In Topeka and the elephants, clowns, pink lem onade, peanuts, etcetera, etcetera, will be the program of the day. The Sells Kioto shows, an original Topeka or ganization, will give two perform ances at the fair grounds, starting early In the afternoon, preceded in the morning by the usual parade. The advance men this year claim that the parade will show more free features than any other appearing in the city. The SelIs-Floto management be lieves that the wave of motor cars and tractors, instead of hurting, has increased the public's interest in fine horses and fine horsemanship. Car rying out this idea, the showmen have made their riding acts the best on the program and are featuring a wild west whirlwind riding act as the finale instead of the usual chariot race. In addition ta the equestrian con gress of riding stars, an aerial program said to be unequaled is being shown. Scores of acrobats in hair raising stunts at the top of the canvas dome, as well as in ground tumbling, take part. There are three herds of acting elephants as a big feature of the ani mal program and thru the entire per formance runs a medley of comedy by the troupe of fifty clowns. AT THE COZY KVB.HYAT TO BE COLORED. Cost of Bis Feature Will Be More Than Doubled by New Process. Ferdinand Earle, filming "The Rubaiyat" of Orrnir Khayyam at his Los Angeles studio, announces that he has secured the Handshiegle Color Process for his picture, whereby prac tically all the scenes will be produced in several harmonious colors. Mr. Handshiegle himselt has under taken the supervisipn of this work. Even the sets and costumes are beins specially designed for reproduction in color. The cost per running foot of film will be doubled by the use of this process. mmmmw in the characterization of a little cocloiey laundry drudge builds the loveliest dream castles out of soap suds. is one of the rare productions that goes straight to the heart and awakens all sorts of human sympathy- strong and moving -ana vntn tnat measure or manor and pathos that is inseparable from its realism. from the Charles Trohman Reduction lpQlMe Thumbl It's a. Pickford picture. That In itself should be enough to pack the Cozy theater all week. "Suds" Is the title and Little Mary again has every opportunity to show all she showed in "Pollyanna." Th picture is screen version of "Op O' Me Thumb,' in which Maud Adams made such t success under direction of Charles Prohman's theater in New York, the .empire. The story has to do with the af fairs of Amanda Afflick, a pug nosed nomeiy little slavey in a French laun dry in the slums of the English city. Amanda is the most woebegone char acter Imaginable and as the other girls in the laundry have their sweet hearts, and no man has ever deigned to notice the little slavey, she weaves a wonderful romance for her own benefit and the benefit of the girls In the laundry, about the owner of shirt which had been left to be washed some montns before the story opens. The cast was especially selected by Miss Pickford as being especially adopted to the roles in which they appear. The street scenes are laid in the slums of London in which locale the story takes place and are exact reproductions of certain quarters of the big metropolis which were photo graphed by the star's English repre sentatives and reproduced at her studio in perfect detail. Prominent in her support Is Mme. Rose Dione, for a long time one of the leading members of Sarah Bernhardt's company in Paris. Mme. Dione is as yet unable to sneak fluent English which makes her especially- suitable for the role of the excitable French proprietress of the laundry where Mary, as Amanda Afflick, is the slavey. The principal lead the possessor of the shirt upon which this story Is founded, is Albert Austin, an English comedian of note, who for the past four years has been prominent in all of Charlie Chaplin's productions, and was loaned by the world famous come ian to Miss Pickford for this produc tion. Since the completion of "Pollyanna n the latter part of 1919. Miss Pick ford has been at work with her Ftaff of assistants on "Suds." Over four months were spent in the adaptation of the story for the screen by several of the best scenario writers in the photoplay profession. An example or the care wnicn America's Sweetheart lavished on the production of "Suds" is shown in the fact that the entire country was ran sacked for the most woe-begone and dilapidated looking horse obtainable to pull the laundry delivery wagon which is used in the story.

NOTES OF THE MOVIES GLEANED BY KI YEP SHE'S A REAL DARLING Keeping War in Warwick. After the war was over. Rnhprt Warwick walked Into a film office in his uniform, his overseas cap, and his Sam Browne belt, and smilingly sign ed an advantageous stellar contract with Famous Players-Lasky for $3, 000 a week. Now he Is suing that company for $525,644.23, for alleged violation of contract. The story goes that Warwick's pictures failed to get over in proportion to tne salary ne received. The powers of Paramount offered him an alternative: would he take a salary reduction and play sup porting roles? Warwick would not. Famous decided it couldn't lose any more money in a. legal suit than on Warwick's pictures, so they simply let him go ahead and litigate to his heart's content. Photoplay Magazine. Screen Catching l"p on Xovels. Arthur B. Reeve, author of- "The Soul Scar." published by the Harpers, has the screen version of his new novel, "The Film Mystery running neck and neck with book publication. The screen version of "The Film Mys- tery will be released In the fall, and the novel under the same title, will be brought out by the Harpers about the same time.

Rosemary Theby has been cast op posite Otis Skinner in his coming pic ture, "Kismet," which will be directed by Louis J. Gasnier. Bryant Washburn has Just com pleted the bull fight scenes for his new Paramount picture, "Wanted A Blemish. Shirley Mason is working on the screen version of "Merely Mary Ann,- Israel Zangwill's story, at the Fox West Coast studios. Casson Ferguson is her leading man and Edward J. Le Saint Is directing. tarry Semon, the Vitagraph com edian, believes that he made the first animated cartoon in the world. As a young man, Larry was a cartoonist of note, and during his school days he drew a series f funny pictures on the margin of the pages of a school book. When the pages were "riffled" the figures appeared to move. Nazimova has completed all work before the camera for her next fea ture production, "Billions," adapted by Charles Bryant from a celebrated French stage play. This ,1s the first of four unusual productions which will constitute the popular Russian star's program for the latter part of this year and for 1921. Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester, who edited "Trumpet Island" and are now putting the finishing touches on vitagraph s special pro duction based on the story by Gouver neur Morris, art providing novel and interesting sub-titles. The printed words are superimposed over a mov ing back ground, typical and sym-1 bolic of the action of the play. Cecil B. DeMIlIe has picked a new leading lady for his next Paramount picture in the person of Ann Forrest, who has signed a five-year contract with the Famous Players-Lasky Cor poration. Miss Forrest is to begin work July 6 on the new DeMille pic ture. It is from a story by Jeanie Macpherson. She will play opposite Forest Stanley, former Morosco lead ing man, who has just signed a con tract to play male leads in Cecil B. DeMille's special productions. Benjamin B. Hampton, the new genius of the motion picture producing field, who specializes in photoplays of novels, makes the remarkable state ment that there are from two to three hundred separate and distinct ways a screen production may be spoiled in the making, from the time it is writ ten to the time it is exhibited In the theater. A perfect production means perfect work on the part of at least twelve men who have charge of their separate departments of adapting, continuity writing, directing, film cut ting, film assembling, art directing, photography, developing, title making, technical directing, lighting and mak ing final prints. Therefore, Mr. Hampton asserts that half of produc tion success is due to perfection of organization. Helen Darling, Christie leading wo man, won first prize in the Annual Summer Surf Revue at Venice, Cal. She wore a fifteen thousand dollar fur cape and something which approach ed a bathing suit. -a If; 4 Grace Iarling of the Sax a phone Phour at the Novelty, Monday, Tuesday and eonesday. AT THE ORPHEUM "Ponto," Bill Hart's famous pinto pony, has returned to the screen. The return engagement is played In "Sand," which comes to the Orpheum' for a three-day engagement starting Mon day. For a long time "Ponto" was an important figure In Mr. Hart's films, and so many and so varied were the stunts he was called upon to perform, that his screen star master believed he had earned a rest and retired him to green pastures where he waxed fat and "sassy." In the meantime, how ever, the movies did not seem quite the same to Hart, neither did Hart's pictures seem the same to the fans, and many a letter was written asking why "Ponto" was not on the screen. When Hart saw that "Band" called for a pet pony, he was delighted, and lost no time bringing "Ponto" out of his luxurious pasture. The animal was overjoyed at the chance, and, back again on the old "lot," he showed his appreciation in the best way possible. His high spirits are plainly evident in the play. It is a story of love and ad venture in a small desert border town in the southwest. Mary Thurman is the leading lady. The picture was directed by Lambert Hillyer for the Paramount-Artcraft people. As an added attraction for the first three days. Miss Vaughter will "give a program with a Hawaiian guitar at every performance. The program at the Orpheum for the last half of the week will Include a double bill, featuring Bryant Wash burn in "The Sins of St. Anthony," and Larry Pern on in a two-reel com edy, "School Days." These two films will bei in addition to the regular weekly showing of the Pathe "Weekly News Review." One cannot really appreciate "The Sins of St. Anthony" without seeing the picture. In the story everyone hands the laugh to Anthony Osgood as played by Mr. Washburn. As a handler of microscopes or in digging the veneer off some forgotten Greek- poet, Anthony was a darb, but when it came to balancing a tea cup on his knee or dealing a hand of poker well, Anthony wasn't there. But when the worm turned all because of a graceful dancer why then Anthony handed it all back to them. The film is adapted from a story by Charles Collins and put into shape for the screen by Elmer Harris. AT THE JTOYELTY MARSHALL'S BAND as h Garfield Park I I SUNDAY j f. EVENING I "QUESTION' OF TIME" BOOKED. Grand Managers Assured of Special Attraction for the Coming Season. "A Question of Time," a dramatic novelty in three acts, will be one of the strong attractions offered at the Grand this winter. The show being staged by A H. Woods is now re-- hearsing in New York and an un usually strong company is to bring the production to Topeka, according to an announcement made by the Grand managers this week. The date for the attraction has not yet been arranged, but it is certain to be of fered. The play by Emily Ann Wellman is termed a dramatic novelty in three acts with fifteen cinemologue flashes. As a scenic production it is a won der; in fact, it seemed to please from atptv tnndnoint. The argument deals with the mis understandings, trials and tribulations of modern domestic life as experienced bv a voung married couple from their honevmoon days to final realization if (hi Wircer and fuller understanding. Miriam Elliott heads an -excellent company. CHAXGES AT THE COZY. Entirely New Lobby and Decorations Greet Patrons Next Week. Practicallv all last week, workmen have been busy at the. Cozy theater making alterations, repairs and re decorations that will cost the manage ment in the neighborhood of 12. BOO It had been hoped that all the work would be completed for the opening Monday afternoon but delay in arri val of some of the materials preventea. The big feature of the program of changes is the new lobby, both inner and outer, now practically complete. The entire front appearance of the theater has been changed with mar bio and white stucco, presenting an artistic effect with the new lighting svstem and carvings. The box office. practically all of marble, adds to the decorations scheme. The interior of the theater Is being entirely repainted and redecorated and with the new inner lobby will al most make the place look as if it had been rebuilt. A well balanced bill awaits patrons of the Novelty theater for the com ing week (or rather the first half of the week.) The feature of. the bill will be the Saxophone Phour guess they mean "four," starring Miss Grace Darling. The act is billed in advance as a "Dainty Musical Novelty." More thrills are promised In an other episode of "Trailed by Three.' which is to be followed by Jermon and Mock, who herald a "Breath of Variety In Singing. Talking and Jug gling." Fredericks Ellsworth and Thomas Harmony present a duo of comedy and harmony (the latter spelled without the capital letter. The finale by Kate and Wiley Is an unusually strong act. These clever athletes have added to their work finish of grace and harmony not usually evident in such work. WANT HART FOB SHERIFF. Hood River County. Oregon, Demo crats Nominate Star for Office. The popularity of William S. :Hart among film patrons was given strik ing evidence recently, whan the Deny ocrats of Hood River county, Oregon, nominated nim for sheriff. Five Democrats wrote In the name or the Paramount star on their bal lots, and late returns indicate that Hart had received the nomination, as no other Democrat was voted on. Mr. Hart was not at all hesitant about stating that there was no doubt in his mind but that he could dictate the peace policy of Hood River county with as much aplomb and justice from his home in Los Angeles as he could from the county seat up in Oregon. Democratic leaders in Oregon are quoted as saying that if Hart would accept the nomination as sheriff the Hood River voters would overwhelm the opposition at election time. With the arrival of Otis Skinner In California, all is in readiness for the filming of "Kismet," Skinner's great est stage success, for release by Robertson-Cole. L. J. Gosnier, noted di rector, tinder whose guidance the pro duction will be screened, has assem bled a staff of expert assistants, to aid him in his work. The settings are being designed and erected under the direction of Frank D. Ormston. one of the foremost art directors in the film world. A Hot Weather Hint: Keep Cool '"f"' ""'Htm!

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1920 a it m r NEW HOME OF THE IMES MOTOR. This business has not grown just because the automobile business has grown. It has grown because there has grown up in America, and all over the world, a demand for the kind of a motor car Dodge Brothers build. It has grown because the users of these cars have given Dodge Brothers a good name as careful, conscientious manufacturers. The result is that wherever these two words Dodge Brothers are seen, they stand as a symbol of exceptional motor car value. Even when they appear, all alone, on a window, or a wall, or a bulletin board, they instantly mean something special and sig nificant to the passer-by. JHiiii iiniiii mcmmmmmmmamBm M mm m They call up a picture of a particular kind of a motor car. Or, to be exact, a particular kind of motor car workmanship, which people have come to associate with the name Dodge Brothers. The two words Dodge Brothers are an advertisement in themselves, not merely in America, but the wide world over. The first thought that follows, wherever they are seen, is the thought of a car that is reliable. The name has come to suggest integrity integrity in the car, and integrity in the manufacturing and business methods of the men who build it. Such a good name is, of course, almost priceless in value. Dodge Brothers are keenly, alive to that fact They realize that the permanence of their business rests upon the continuance of that good name. They realize that such a name is a perpetual promise to the people, which must be pei petually fulfilled by a finer and finer product.. As long as the name is attached to their" motor car, Dodge Brothers may be de pended upon to safeguard and protect it. As long as they build motor cars they will be the best motor cars Dodge Brothers can build.

H. Imes Motor Car company, local agents for the Dodge Brothers' cars, is rapid ly nearing completion. The new plant is located on the northwest corner of Eleventh street and Kansas avenue, and contains 46,500 square feet of floor space. Including the basement and the three floors. On the first floor are the cashier's office, sales rooms and salesman's of fices on the mezzanine floor, acces story store, salesrooms and the man ager's office. The ground floor is laid with blue and white alternate squares of cement, and the woodwork, of which there is very little thruout the building, is all of white mahogany, with the exception of a few doors into the rear repaif shop. The cash ier's office is at the right of the en trance and Is some distance back from the street. The desks and counters are all of quarter-sawed oak finely finished. Directly back of the cashier's office is the storeroom, unusual In the com plete outfit of metal bins holding the $25,000 worth of repair parts. The local Dodge agents supply cars and parts for ten counties over the state and their repair department is complete in every detail. Mare than three thousand Dodges have been sold in this territory.- The wall cabinets and fixtures In the sales rooms are all of quarter- sawed oak. and will look like "jewelry store fixtures." according to W. H. Imes. president of the company. Be cause many farmers will drive into the new garage daily, elaborate wash and rest rooms have been installed for both men and women. The ladies' rest rooms are 15x30 feet and will be completely furnished. Three Unusual Features. Thre unusual features of the new garage are installed in the work and repair department at the rear on the first floor. They are an electric door opener, a large turntable, and a five ton elevator, capable of handling any size truck made. The door opener is operated from three different places on the floor or from the telephone operator's office on the mezzanine. A long cord, connected to the electric machinery, is the means of opening and shutting the door. The turntable is a large one and is operated by elec tricity also. The elevator runs to all four floors and is one of the largest both in size and hauling capacity in the city. A huge steam pressure- tank has been installed for washing and cleaning parts, doing away with the danger of fire from the use of coal oil and gasoline for washing. All of the stairways in the building are cased with brick and have automatic fire doors. The basement has 15,000 square' feet of floor space, and room for the stor age of 800 cars. Five feed pipes con nected with as many tanks of oil which are buried underneath the base ment floor. supply the different grades of oil used to the floors of the building. The tanks have a capacity of 1,000 gallons. Two boilers are Installed In the northwest corner of the basement and a two-foot brick wall separates the store room and boiler room, eliminat ing all chance from fire from an over heated boiler. Room for forty tons otL coal is provided. Overhead Tracks. The second floor will also be a re pair and part changing room. Over head tracks are being installed for moving the parts to different places in the room and the tracks are large enough to carry an entire car if nee-essan-. A dumb waiter will operate froiil each floor. The paint shop is complete. Raised surfaces are being constructed to allow the paint to run down a drain instead of onto the floor when the cars are being worked on. "Many people seem to think that in painting a car, it is done like a house." said Harry Imes. "As a mat ter of fact, more rubbing is done than actual painting. A coat is applied and then rubbed Into the wood, get ting as 'much as possible into the grain. Then the hose is turned on the car. the paint washed off and an other coat put on." lias Lowest Insurance Rate. Each floor of the building is pro vided with a wash room, and a wash rack for the cars. The second floor has a shower bath, wash room and dressing room for the mechanics. The building carries the lowest rate ef fire Insurance ef any building in Kansas, according to Harry Imes. The reason is that the building was erected with one thing in mind to make the place fireproof. IIIIIIIIIIIIU L Son emera: ontrac tors Tenth and Van Buren. .Phone 1537.

Lewis, formerly connected with the Westinghouse company in Topeka, and who still makes his home here, has put an engine appliance on the market called the Lewis Draft Appliance, which, according to me chanical experts, is one of the greatest of recent railroad inventions. It promises to revolutionize the fuel problem on locomotives, a big factor in railroading today. The June 4 is sue of the Railway Age carries a V IX M. Lewis. lengthy article describing in technical terms Lewis's invention and the suc ceeding copies of the Age carry two column advertising cuts of the inven tion. Gives Steady Throttle Pull. The Lewis Draft Appliance deals with the regulation of the front-end draft of a locomotive, and, it is claimed, produces a non-pulsating, uniformly distributed draft on the fire. It also maintains a constant, low cylin der back pressure, which permits the engine to develop a 20 or 25 per cent increase in draw-bar pull and gives the engineer the same steady pull at the throttle at all times, eliminating the jerky starts and stops of the engine. The device consists of a rectangular nozzle with automatically adjusted vanes to control the size of the outlet. The automatic adjustment of these vanes is obtained by means of dead la Jr w Coffee Drinkers Sometimes feel a twinge of dissatisfaction. It may be a restless night or it may be a restless liver.

These weights regulate the opening and clos ing of the draft with mechanical pre cision, giving the boiler fire the right amount of draft for the right amount of speed, and as long as the conditions of combustion remain unchanged the weights demand no adjustment. The big feature of the invention is that it will regulate the drafts in such a manner that the locomotive consumes all of its fuel instead of sending some of the best of it up the stack. Knginemans Dream Realized. "An engineman's dream comes true," is the opinion of some mechan ical experts who have carefully ex amined the invention. In ordinary locomotive operation,, a variable ex haust nozzle varies only as the engine man opens or closes it. and he gen erally runs with it either wide open or completely closed, it being impos sible for even the best engineers to change the nozzle to meet all carrying conditions. The Lewis appliance, however, is reputed positively to op erate automatically to reduce the un desirable back pressure by holding it at any predetermined point, re gardless of whether the throttle is opened' wide or only a little, and whether the speed is great or small. The engine upon which the device first was tried out was of the Mikado type, weighing 200,000 pounds on the drivers, a large engine. The locomo tive is reported to have improved froli 10 to 20 per cent in increase of its regular tonnage. Another, big featuie was the draft reduction. The mini mum draft was not above two and one-half inches of water in the front boiler end, and this draft was suffi cient to maintain steam pressure both on grades and on level portions of the line. By thi3 even distribution of drafts, the despicable so-called back lash of the suddenly discharged large volume of exhaust from one cylinder against the piston of another likened to the knock in an automobile engine when running at low speed is entirely done U Jti I Western League Park SUNDAY, July 18th 3:15 P.

Boon to Traveling. Passengers, ever since trains were first run, have cursed the engineer and the road for waking them out of a sound sleep in the Pullman berth, when the train started off with a sharp Jerk. The new Lewis appliance does away with this, it is claimed, and will vastly improve the comforts of touring as well as saving large amounts of coal and money, formerly used with the old style of draft regu lation. B. M. Lewis, came to Topeka with his wife in 1909. They have made their home at 1505 West Fifth street and 924 Monroe street, with the excep tion of the past year which they, spent in Milwaukee,- where Lewis has been making tests of his invention for the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road. Lewis went from New Jersey, where he was born to Trinidad, Colo., when he was a boy, and grew up there. He started work with the Westinghouse Electric company when he was nine teen years old and was later trans ferred to Mexico City where he held the position of manager for the com pany. He came to Topeka, still con nected with the Westinghouse people. "Mr. Lewis has had the invention in his mind for many years," said Mrs. Lewis today, "but he did not do actual work on it until two years ago, when he began to work night and day." Coming Back to Topeka. Lewis has severed his connection with the Westinghouse company and is now vice president of the Lewis Appliance company. Joseph Purcell, of Chicago, a life-long friend of Lewiss and also an Inventor, is the head of the company. At present both of the men are in Montreal, Can., putting the appliances on engines of the Grand Trunk lines. Their of fices and headquarters are in Chicago. Lewis will be home in Topeka as soon as the tests in Montreal are com pleted.

General Passenger Agent, Passenger traffic, especially what is known as summer tourist or excur sion travel, is, exceedingly heavy. This also applies to convention, travel which is rather closely allied to the other classes mentioned. During the period of the war few conventions were held. Since that time, state and national organizations, religious, trade and fra- J. M. Conncll. ternal. have resumed the practice of holding meetings annually. In ad dition to officers of these organiza tions, and delegates to their meetings, many lay members accomanied by their wives and husbands usually go to the place of meeting, incidentally tak ing advantage of the opportunity to j visit other places on business or pleas- uir.

Topekans of the present day will have difficulty in recognizing Kansas avenue in the accompanying cut. The photograph was taken in 1887 when the street was still unpaved; when horse cars were still in use and tele phone poles stood along the curbings. The scene shows Kansas avenue, looking north from the old Copeland hotel at Ninth street. The tower seen on the building at Seventh street was on the old fire station, which occupied the rear of the city building, where the Security Benefit association building now stands. The tower contained the huge bell which was sounded when fire alarms were turned in. It was torn down years ago. The State Journal Building One-Story. A grocery store occupied the build ing on the northwest corner of Eighth and Kansas avenues, where the To peka State bank now stands and on the opposite corner The State Journal occupied a small one-story building. At Seventh street and Kansas avenue may be seen the Tefft House, now the National hotel. The picture is taken from the "To peka Illustrated" of 1887, now in the possession of John Klopfer, of Topeka.

Several firms which existed then-" have passed into other hands, the names have been changed or the business -moved to some other location in the city. The population of the city in 18 86 was 25,005. Today it is 50,022. ac cording to the government census re port. The "Illustrated" refers to To peka as maintaining a "free public library of 8,000 volumes. more than 30.000 volumes are at the disposal of the public. Fight for Supremacy. Mention is made of the fight To peka had made for supremacy among the cities of Kansas. "For the period of thirty years." the book comments, "the rivalry has raged and it is with commendable pride that we invite comparison as to i results. Today, no one is our i equal. In population, in wealth, in commercial facilities, in schools, churches, newspapers, theater, the perfection of her streets and sanitary conditions, in the value of real prop erty, the general prosperity of her citizens and in public vigor and pros perity, TopeVa has no peer in Kan sas."

Ry., Topeka. ating in territory served by the Santa re is to Colorado and New Mexico resorts, Grand Canyon of Arizona and numerous places of attraction on the Pacific coast. There is also a heavier travel than usual to Chicago and points east. Business travel is also above normal. so that in the aggregate the volume. as stated at the outset, is exceedingly heavy, the total being greater than that handled during corresponding periods of 1917 and 1918, which is sur prising considering the heavy move ments of troops during the years mentioned. A greater proportion of travel for pleasure and business is patronizing sleeping and parlor cars than has heretofore been the case, and in con sequence the passenger carrying capa city of our important roads is being taxed to afford accommodations. During the war. due to other in dustrial necessities, practically no sleeping, parlor cars or coaches were turned out of the shops, so that pas senger equipment was not augmented as would ordinarily have been the case, and there was very little replace ment. Passenger transportation today, rela tively, is the cheapest commodity in the market. Notwithstanding the very great increase in the cost of material. wages, and in fact everything that filters lino i ue eperauuu ui passensci transportation, there has not been corresponding advance in passenger fares. In June, 1918, there was an advance In some one way passenger fares, strfte and interstate, due to rounding out such fares to uniform basis of minimum of three cents per mile. With the exception of recent advance in charges for the special ac commodations offered by parlor and sleeping cars, the extra cost of han dling passenger transportation has tn only a very small extent fallen on the users cf the service. Therefore, the traveler of today has the comforting reflection that at least in buying transportation he la receiving, full i value for his money. 1 street railway in operation.

When anybody tells you that the sugar trust is cornering America's sawdust mar ket, to sell the sugar that is contained in trees, don't believe them. It can't be done. There is sugar there, but not the sugar maker's kind of sugar, so the sawdust factories will not be able to help pile up new fortunes for the sugar makers. The nation was startled the other day by a scientist's announcement that there is an enormous amount of sugar in sawdust. A chance for the house wife to preserve fruit by sawdust su gar seemed to be in the realm of pos sibility. But the bubble has been pricked by the cold blooded scientists of the New York State College of Forestry here. Here is what Dr. Louis E.. Wise, one of Uncle Sam's war time chemists, now professor of forest chemistry at the New York State College if For estry, says about sawdust sugar read it and weep: "An important sugar can be pre pared from sawdust by hydrolysis with acid, but it must not be confused with the sugar of the breakfast table. This sugar, prepared from wood, is dextrose or glucose and is identical with the su gar obtained by acid treatment of starch. The sugar is not identical, however, with sucrose, commonly termed 'cane sugar' or 'beet sugar." Glucose is, however, widely used com merciallv, and is an important food stuff. It is the principal component of corn syrup and the like, and has distinct nutritive value." K. U. HAS NEW CHANCELLOR E. H. Liiidley Makes Plea for School Democracy in First Address. Lawrence, Kan., July 17.-j-Dr. Ern est H. Lindley. new chancellor ot Kan sas university, made his, first public appearance here Friday morning when he delivered his first chapel address to a large crowd of students and townspeople in Fraser hall chapel. He assumed the duties of chancellorship today. One of the most important "things I about training the young- men and women at the university is to teaca them true democracy and develop the particular lines for which each stu dent is fitted, according to Chancellor Lindley. A bachelor's degree does not necessarily mean a liberal education, he added, and a student getting sucn a degree and then returnirrg home dissatisfied with the farm or ranch life is on the wrong path. Many stu- dents return home dissatisfied with their former home life and finally sue ceed in getting their folks to leave the farm ot ranch. It is the student that returns home and helps put new paper on the walls and helps make other improvements that really has accomplished a liberal education, he said. A university edu cation should be such that students getting their degrees do not, live on dreams of quickly obtainable fortunes without work. He asked that the faculty members bring democracy into their class rooms and take all the personal interest possible in each stu dent.

TRAINED IN DESERT Haskell Indian Runner Chief Contender for Olympiad. Only Nineteen Tears Old, But Has Raced All Life. Lawrence, Kan., July J7. Amesoli Patasoni. who at 19 is leading con testant for the honor of representing the United States in the distance race in the Olympic games at Antwerp th e year, is a full-blood Zuni Indian He is just five feet tall and at the close of the Chicago Olympic tryouts weighed ninety-eight pounds. This young Indian has' the tradi tional taciturnity of the red man. His forehead and arms are tattooed with what is believed to be tribal insignia, altho he has never made known to in quisitive friends the meaning of the markings. At the recent sectional tryouts for middle west Olympic aspirants, held in Chicago, Patasoni won over all con testants in the event in which he was entered. Patasoni's first training as a distance runner was on the desalt stretches that surround his tribal home near Zuni, New Mexico. Long dis tance running: is one of the chief out door pastimes of the Zuni trihe nd from early boyhood the young Indian took part in this sport. He was first trained by his brother, who has achieved local fame as a twenty-five and fifty-mile runner in the Zuni games. When he was 14 years old Patasoni's running attracted the attention of fdrmer Haskell students, who per suaded him to enter the Indian school. A. M. Venne, director of athletics, has naa cnarge or nis training, and early decided that the youthful Zuni Indian had possibilities as a distance runner. Venne believed that some day his protege, might develop the qualities necessary to enable him to participate in the Olympic games, and consistently has made it part of his work to hold Patasoni down in order not to overtax his phj'sical development while he was still in the "growing stage." Venne says he has sometimes insisted that the young Indian lose races rather than overtax his strength. in the five years Patasoni h k at the Haskell institute he has learned to speak English, has completed eight F,.UUEe iix rxjuooi, learned to be a carpenter, and won five track "let ters" for athletic work Thousands Cured By Drinking Mineral Water The Famous Iorlax Mineral Springs at Excelsior Springs Mo., Makes Generous Offer to Sufferers.

We reduced the road fund levy In 1919 to one mill..

Two days after a five-inch rain our dirt roads are smoother and better than many brick streets In Topeka. Besides paying off this deficit and Improving the roads we have $130,000 In the county road and bridge funds for the Improvement of roads and the building of bridges. Look at your tax receipt. The Shawnee County levy for all purposes is only 65 cents on the S100 valuation despite the Increased cost of all labor and material. This is the lowest tax rate of any progressive county in Kan sas.

Without fear of successful contradiction I call attention to the fact that the present Board of County Commissioners, serving the county during the most trying time In the history of the country, has saved the tax payers thou, sands of dollars by the careful and judicious manage ment of its affairs. Permanent bridges, well graded and well dragged dirt roads, easy access to market, no matter what the weather, without Increasing the road tax, is my aim.

"Did I not tell you to call me In time to see Washington?" I asked and was instantly made aware by the expression of the man's face that In somo way I had made myself ridiculous. "I know.

Doesn't any body ever have' any good times in this world, or do they all just wait till they're In some kind of misery before they write letters and talk about it? Here's a mother, a woman not quite 50, in good health and fairly good circumstances. She has a pretty little home with a front yard and a back yard, and her dead husband's picture on an easel in the back parlor oh, yes, she calls it a parlor. She hasn't arrived at the living-room stage yet. And in her bedroom she has just exactly eight pictures of her son. Some are framed in leather and some are framed in wood and some are framed in velvet. One of them was taken when son was six months old, 'knitted bootees, crocheted jacket and all. The next one was taken of son lying in a shell with just as stand. In the next picture son la 5 years old, m velvet and a lace collar. In the next he's 10, in kTiickerbockers.

He s just an aver- age, every-day, good-natured, easy-going, rather selfish, rather opinionated, rather successful young man. He's married now and has a rather smart little apartment of his own, where he and his wife live and that's what the letter's abont. Son's in Son hasn't been to see mother in two years. No, they haven't quar relled. He just doesn't come to see her. Once in a while he calls her up on the 'phone and asks her to come over to the apartment for dinner, and sometimes he and his wife want to take mother out for a little spin in their new. shiny, little machine. But mother wont go, either to the apartment or for the spin. She's hurt, and, besides, she'd rather see son alone. And son's wife knows it, or mother thinks she does, and it's a good deal her fault. And what do you think mother does about it? She sits in her pretty, little house an4 looks at son's pictures, and cries and cries. And nobody's sorry for her.. At first they were; but now they all stay away and let her cry. And she hasn't soul in the world, and she's all alone, and, oh, what shall she do to bring son back again to his mother?

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1920 It FLUFFY HO MORE Women of Fall Season 3Inst Be Straight and Slim. But It Won't Be Necessary To Be Poured Into Clothes. SKIRTS ABOUT SAME LENGTH And Hats Will Hide the Place Where Eyebrows Grew. Brown Is Farorite Color, Mil dred Reed Discovers. BY MILDRED REED. After a summer accompanied by countless ruffles, after many seasons that vouched for frills and ripples and drapes to give a bouffant effect to the feminine costume, fashion sets forth in her fall. 1920, edict that the cor rectly dressed woman must forget all fluffy modes and encase hfself in gar ments that give none otLor than a straight, slim silhouette. There is no cause for alarm in this severe sounding decree. It will not be necessary to be poured into the new clothes this fall. Soft, straight hang ing fullness is allowed in the garments. says a fashion authority, "but it must in no way change the silhouette. ""Well, all right," the meek feminine person who loves ruffles says, as she sighs over the straight line law. "Tell me next about the skirts. Can we still wear 'em short? I hope so, they are so comfortable. Skirts About the Same, The length of the skirt is just about the same for next season as it has been the past season, says the fall fashion editor of The Drygoodsman. after a tour of the eastern manufacturers' displays of new togs. "Whether or not Miss and Mrs. Customer will have it either shortened or lengthened is a matter of personal taste so we'll watch and wait for the verdict," is the way this fashion editor disposes of the subject. The material that was not used in making the slim, straight, suit skirts for fall appears to have been appro priated by the suit jackets which are Jong of line and high to the choking point in the neck (as well as in price, it is feared.). The majority of suit coats are 3 6 inches long and many are longer, and nearly all have an uneven line about the bottom edge either longer in back than in front or longer on one side than the other. The narrow belt is still preferred mostly of the "shoestring" variety. Almost gone are the days of the blouse that tucks inside the skirt for dressy wear at least, for the blouse ver-the-skirt models predominate de cidedly among manufacturers' offer ings for fall. Hide the Eyebrows. Women must hide their eyebrows (or that part of the eyebrows not al ready di.-pensed with) for another season, the queens of the millinery world declare, as the hats are "to be worn well over the forehead." Crowns of hats are usually low and soft, and the brims often have Irregularity. Ostrich trimming is featured for fall hcp.dscar and other popular trimming is bright wool embroidery. Klack evening gowns, with trim ming of black jet or Mack Chantilly lace are to be in high favor. Brown Favorite Color. "And what colors must we wear this fall?" the meek feminine person ven tures again. "Hrown is shown in all of its be coming shades." states one who knows, and undoubtedly will not lag far be hind old reliable navy blue in the favorites' race." Scharab (a beautiful green), miama, blue dawn, hindu, Bordeaux and oriole are among the colors of the new blouses! They must be decidedly new colors all of them for in looking over all colors of the rainbow the above mentioned color names are not found. But probably it will not be long before Miss and Mrs. Topeka will be well educated to the new colors, even If a mixture of Scharab. hindu, Bordeaux, blue dawn and oriole is ex pected of them! Cf 1NE FOR FILTRATION Jloalth Board Head Says It's Topeka's Only Water Solution. Dr. J. S. Crumbine, secretary of the ptate board of health, upheld the find ings of the civic water committee Fri day night at a meeting of the com mittee at which he was asked to give his views on the city water problem. loctor Crumbine is strongly in favor of the filtration system recommended by the committre. He said the only solution of Topeka's water problem was a filtration plant. This system, according to Doctor Crumbine and C. A. Haskins, former engineer of the board, temoved 98 or 99 per cent of the water impurities, and It is possible to remove the bal ance by chlorine before it is pumped into the mains for consumption. A. H. Jewell, present engineer of the board. agreed. Practically all the larger cities of Kansas have been forced to resort to the filtration system, and Topeka has been too slow in her change, accord ing to the investigators of the water situation.

Ev eryone who has not gone away for the summer is playing golf or having a picnic for two or three couples. One woman who is playing golf has also decided to mow her own lawn in an effort to get thin and so far has lost ten pounds. Judging from the num ber of society girls seen downtown each morning and early in the after noon, it would seem that Topeka so ciety is to break forth in all its glory in the early fall. This week I have seen three prominent society girls who are 'to announce their engage ments in September, down at the no tion counter in one of the department stores. They buy quantities of hooks and eyes, snaps, buttons and bias tape, and I think their trousseaus must be already started. One of the autumn brides was shopping one morning several days ago in a very cool looking hand embroidered pon gee dress and I saw another in a handsome blue linen- dress, buying blouses and still another girl promi nent in one of the sororities was shop ping for fall hats. Speaking of hats makes me think of a tale I heard the other morning coming down on the State hospital car. Some man in front of me was telling another chap all about how a friend of his lost his brand new hat the other day. He purchased it in the morning and that evening he went calling on someone else's wife. Now he and the other man were not on very friendly terms, and while the friend and someone else's wife were sitting in the parlor talking about the weather, or some such interesting topic, the husband very unobligingly decided to come home. He drove into the driveway and leaving the ear stand came on in the house. Just as the friend went out the kitchen door, in his haste leaving his hat behind.

The marriage of Miss Rebecca Rod gers and Mr. Bert Garvin will take place Wednesday evening, August 15, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John K. Lord.

He waa accompanied by his little daughter, Marv, and Hazel Nelson, who will go to Rochester, N. Y for a visit. Mrs. M. Affron will leave this evening for Ienver where she will meet a party of friends en route for Manltou where they expect to remain a few months. h. c .-d tLnSodktg etiio etaoi taoinnn I don't know whether the wife reg istered grief, despair or rage or what she did do, but Elizabeth, she was a remarkable woman for she convinced her husband that she had been down town that day and running across a bargain sale in hats had bought one for him, and the friend who went call ing on someone else's wife had to go downtown the next day and buy an other hat. At a card party one day last week another funny thing happened. AH the guests were very busily playing bridge when they heard a dog growl ing on the front porch. Pretty soon came another growl and a full grown dog fight sprang into action right there on the front porch. For a min ute no one could think what to do. Then they began trying to pull the two dogs apart but meddling with a bull dog when he has the serious business of a fight on hand is no trifling mat ter, so the ladles found out. Some one ran into the kitchen for a poker, sev eral more ran for umbrellas and one of the women, dashing wildly into the kitchen, happened to spy the pepper can. She grabbed it up in a hurry and raced to the front porch and began darting here and there sprinkling pep per on the dogs. She had thought she was grabbing the black pepper but this stuff was better yet, it was red pepper. Finally one of the big fellows hap pened to get a sniff of it. then both of them did and in a Jiffy the fight was over, the day saved and a woman in our town was the heroine of the afternoon. That evening several of the members of the bridge club car ried home umbrellas with broken ribs and torn covers bearing witness to the fact that there had been a dog fight and right on the front porch of a Har rison street home. Last Sunday evening at the Elks club a party of persons were having a family dinner. Just as they sat down, one of the members of the family in a Jesting manner turned to her brother and remarked, "You're the stranger of the bunch, you'll have to say grace." and when he in the same manner re fused, they thought no more of it, but not so a little fellow of ten who was included in the family party. He very quietly bowed his head and repeated the form of thanks which he had been using at the convent where he attend ed school last year. It is safe to say that not for a long time have the Sun day evening guests at the Elks' club seen a small, earnest 10-year-old boy repeat thanks for a party of grownups. As I said before, every one who isn't away for the summer is playing golf and having picnics for two or three, so you see where the society column stands. If you can send us any news out here of Kansans in New York don't forget to. Best wishes. FRANCES. if. If, if, THERE'S A WOMAN IX OCR TOWN And a very well known Topeka young woman, too, who went shopping recently for another young woman who lives in a nearby town. The To peka girl had been married once, but had gotten over it. She is just the same size as the out-of-town girl, and bo could very easily pick her out a dress which she did, leaving a check on the account. A few days liiter she went back to get the dress. It could not be found. Consterna tion, horrors and everything. It was a day of bad news. After a certain amount of questioning it finally came out that she might have left the dre3S under her maiden name, her married name or the name of her friend who had been married very recently. For getful of personal identity is a thing almost unheard of. Still it does hap pen. There are cases of persons with too many names for their own per sonal convenience. An exploring party was formed to tour the mysterious depths of the hold room, all mothbally and full of the things that women like to wear and that men like to Bee them wear. They searched up and down among the rows of dresses hanging there and finally they found it: it was under the name of her friend all right yes, her friend's maiden name. The members of the Rota club will have a dinner Wednesday evening at the Elks club. A special program is Deing prepared. "The Penalties of Progress" at the First Congregational at H a. m. Adv.

Fashion Letter Written for THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL BY MARGARET ROBE New York, July 17. Winter coats are now on display in many Fifth avenue shops, and although few women are buying them, hordes of femininity besiege the clerks to show these winter models, in order that they may know how far behind the times their own 1920 model Is. The models -upon exhibition show four distinct types of winter wrap, altho all the new season coats are marked by looseness and general free dom. The Redingote seems to be leading in popularity. This is a full- i length model with a semi-fitted back, straight and full front, with cord in gs, j shir rings, or smocking at the normal waistline. It is this model that is most i like a bona-fide coat and not the dol- man-wrap as are most of the winter j outer wraps. The Redingote may have a fittel sleeve or the loose kimono sleeve, and it is the latter that is most frequently seen. Then there is the flared or barrel skirted coat, the coat cut circular like a cape, with full, straight back and front, and belt at low waistline, and the sackcoat, loose, beltless. and per fectly straight from the shoulder to hem. The raglan sleeves of all these models are heavily embroidered with gay designs in wool or metallic threads. Braid is copiously used in swirling, intricate designs. Collars are almost as diversified as the wraps themselves, altho preference is shown the extremely high directorie collar. Shawl and funnel collars are shown on a few models. Most of the winter wraps are skirt length altho some seven-eighth length models are shown. Wraps show the same irregularity of hem -as do skirts and hat brims. It is considered very chic for one side of a coat to hang downward several inches farther than the opposite side. Deep shoulder capes, sometimes as many as three or four, are another very new feature, and these capes often terminate In a rolling collar and hood. A "Little Red Riding Hood" model is shown made of startling crimson. Altho sedate shades of black, gray, and brown are prominently shown, there is much lavishness of gay color used. Royal and turquoise blue, copper and rust, peacock, orange, scarlet, and emerald abound In the more dressy wraps. Gaily-plaided homespun topcoats make a pleasing array for sport wear. Really elaborate fur trimmings do not abound. Coat dealers explain that the furriers bought up all the fur, and that little was left for trimmings in the ready made realm. Bandings and collars of rabbit, black goats hair. caracul, Persian lamb and pile fabrics of plush are used as trimming when ever gay embroideries or braid designs are not used. A strange feature of the new wraps is the combination of color and ma terial, A gray and black wool velour model is shown on the avenue, stitched in gray and trimmed with fur. There is a rounded yoke of black satin and hip inset panels of black satin em broidered in canary yellow wool. Dangling wooden beads fall from the cuffs, belt, and collar. Wraps show more plainly than any other garment the gigantic influence of Oriental garb, both in color and line. CORRECT MOURNING FOR SUMMER WEAR f Her is an attractive mourning costume expressive of quiet ele gance. A very light veil of the finest mesh covers the face, bat it has a deep border of crepe and the long drape in the back is crepe. The smare little bat is of the black crepe faced with white crepe. The frock is sheer freorgette embroid ered in dull black beads, t i hi M, I' it i s-J i f f l I it u t i i HIGHLAND PARK Notes and personals from Highland Park, by Mist Frances Jones.

I. As an inducement to the soviet gov ernment to consent to an armistice with Poland, France has promised to resume commercial and diplomatic re lations with Russia. Recognition of his government by the nations of the world is the stake for which Lenine has been playing. He seems about to win. Success of this sort will place him more firmly in power than he ever has been before. The allies have made a mess of the whole Russian business and have got Poland into dif ficulties from which it is up to them to rescue her. They appear to prefer doing this by peaceful means even at the sacrifice of their pride, rather than enter upon a war with a nation which so mariy have failed to whip on her own ground. The outlook for a revi talized Russia seems brighter than it has been in the past five years. !'or many years a united chorus of j Los Angeles citizens and newspapers j has suns the praises of southern Cal i ifornia as a place of residence. Any extreme of heat or cold in the east has been used as a text for a sermon on j California climate. Surprise has been expressed that persons would continue I to live where they were subjected to the discomforts of ice and snow. The numerous earthquakes which have oc- rnrred in and about the city of "the perfect climate" recently calls to mind the old saying about "persons who live in glass houses." Moreover it may be preferable to live in a country which freezes up occasionally rather than reside where one is constantly threat ened with burial alive. The Yukon Development league, it is reported, has rejected ft proposal to introduce dimes and nickels into local circulation. Dawson never has had any smaller coin than the 25 cent piece and will adhere to it. We are all coming to the same thing. Already there is little that can be bought for less than a quarter. The home of Governor Cox is called "Trail's End." Instead of being in fact the end of the trail he hopes to make It the beginning of the trail which will lead to the White House. Mr. Cox announces that he will have "a real farmer" as secretary of agri culture if he is elected president. That is a hard rap at Secretary Mere dith and President Wilson. But what the country would like most is an as surance that he will have a postmas ter general who will see that they get their mail in a reasonable length of time. The governor of Vermont is being subjected to much criticism on ac count of his refusal to further the cause of woman suffrage by calling a special sessfbn of the legislature. In fairness to the governor it must be said that most of his critics appear to miss his point of view. 1 His position seems to be that a legislature which ha not been elected in a campaign in which suffrage was an issue, should riot be called upon to pass on the subject. But if that course had been followed thruout the Unioi. in the past we might not yet have had the seven teenth or the eighteenth amendments. It is suggested by the Sioux City Tribune that, "front porches are all right to sit on, but they are not any kind of a place to run- on." The general downward trend of prices is expressed in a bulletin re cently issued by the New York Fed eral Reserve bank, which says: "A lack of confidence in the present level of prices seems spreading thruout the world. The tendency is to, sell rather tfean to buy. The Japanese crisis and fall in silver are serious factors in Far Eastern trade, and in other parts !he general contracted state of credit seems to be forcing a slowing down in forward buying, particularly as traffic conditions both in this country and abroad are making deliveries extreme ly uncertain." It is one of the un changeable laws of trade that when more persons want to buy than want to sell prices go up. And when more persons want to sell than want to buy prices go down. These tendencies are increased by the fact that there al ways is hesitancy to buy on a falling market or sell on a rising market. WHERE THE TROCBIjE LIES. There is not enough reserve trans portation capacity in the American railroads as they stand today fully to meet the greater fluctuations in the production and distribution of the commerce of the country, declares the latest issue of "American Railroads." The railroads are hauling consider ably more traffic ,his year than last year, it says, yet there is an increasing car shortage. This Is produced, not by failure of the railroads to increase their capacity but by their Inability to increase that capacity rapidly and greatly enough to match the greater changes in the production and distri bution of commodities. It is held by the Iron Trade Review that the lack of terminal facilities is of far greater importance than the lack of cars. Were the railroads able, over night, it sajs, to double their available car and locomotive equipment greater con gestion than ever would result. Re ports to the interstate commerce com mission show that so long as a car is out on the line It keeps moving, but the moment it reaches a terminal or a gateway It begins to drag. These gate ways and terminals are the bottle necks of the entire transportation sys tem of the country. More trackage and more skilled labor would solve 90 per cent of the gateway and terminal trouble. As the years pass the carriers east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers lose more and more of their long hauls. New England In particular has become al most entirely a switching region. From Cleveland to Toungstown and on to Pittsburgh the condition is much the same: points of origin and destina tion of freight are so close that ship ments necessarily go thru them at ft slow pace. The interstate commerce commission was told t'.e other day it took a west coast lumber shipper 172 days to get a car thru to a New York state point, and nearly all of the 172 days were consumed in the gateway and terminals from Buffalo west. Adtd cars, and locomotives, it ap pears, therefore, will tend only to in crease congestion until better facili ties for routing thru the terminals are provided Nominally there Is exemption from taxation for an amount of Income sup posed to cover ordinary expenses al tho the measure of exemption was cal culated in times of lower living cost than the present. But Indirectly the tax falls on every one, without exemp tion. The tax already falls on every thing we buy. Would It be more bur densome, if it were to be levied di rectly and definitely by the govern ment, thru a tax on sales, instead of being collected, with usury, by manu facturer, middlemen and seller? RAILROADS ARE PICKING VP. "For the first time since the rail ways were returned to private opera tion," says the Railway Age, "it Js possible this week to give stat'stics regarding the amount of freight han dled for a considerable period by all the large railways in the country." Figures now available, which are based on reports made by all the large railways to the commission on car service, chow that in spite of strikes and other troubles the railway al most continuously in the year 1920 have been moving more freight than in 1919. The railways this year have had many things to contend with, includ ing a series of strikes in their termi nals, and an excessive number of bad order cars which are a heritage from government operation". Nevertheless, in the first six months of the year, says the Age, they moved more freight of all kinds than ever before in the first i six months of any year except 1917 and 1918. In January, February and March the amount of freight moved broke all records for those three months, and probably the same thing would have been true in April, May I and June if it hal not been for the railroad strikes. The statistics of the Vnited States geological survey regarding the move ment of coal tell the same story. The number of tons of coal produced and moved by the railroads from January 1 to June 26, 1919, was 210,640,000, while In 1920 It was 231,953,000, an increase of 41,313,000 tons. Why, in the face of these facts, it asks. ar the industrial operations of the country being seriously interfered with and its financial stability threat ened by insufficient transportation? There can be, it points out, only one rational answer to that question. The present conditions are partly due to the strikes, but they are mainly due to the fact that for years the productive capacity of the country has been rap Idly increasing while the facilities and capacity of the railroads have been increasing hardly at all. Present conditions. It Is held, are principally chargeable to those who thruout the years from 1908 to 1917, by fighting to keep the rates and net earnings of the railways on the lowest possible level, did all they could in their respective ways to make it im possible for the carriers to handle the country's commerce. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKIX, Director. Washington, D. C. HOW CLEVELAND TREATS LABOR Cleveland, O.. July 11. Cleveland is j now attracting widespread attention by its numerous ingenious plans for sugar-coating, if not actually solving, the labor problem. So many different schemes for making workers content ed and happy have been put into prac tice in its factories, that Cleveland has become virtually a working laboratory of industrial management. As such, it la visited and inspected by employ er and students of economics from all parts of the country.' The movement for better industrial conditions really started here before the war, and has been gaining rapid momentum ever since, so that now it is a poor day in Cleveland which does not produce some new kind of factory co-operation or bring a new employer to the progressive ranks. That there is still a large conservative contingent which shows no disposition to break away from the old master-and-man methods Cleveland does not deny, but it is able to point with just pride to a group of at least three hundred man ufacturing concerns that are doing a lot more for their employes than sim ply paying them their wages. This group of Cleveland employers Is most astonishing. They fairly take away one's breath. They tell you with amazing frankness that the employe Is justified in kicking that he has not been given the kind of deal he ought to have had. and that the pres ent existence of an acute labor prob lem is more the fault of the employ ers than the employes. Believing this, these men are doing all in their power to remedy this fault, to gain the con fidence of their employes, and to lift factory work above mere toil and drudgery. Employes Represented. For example, one of the chief fea tures of their new industrial religion is. employes' representation. This ex ists in nearly every Cleveland factory of the modern variety, but in no two factories is it exactly alike. The most comprehensive of these working mod els is a plan devised by John Leitch when he was a citizen of Cleveland, which he called "industrial democ racy." It is an exact copy of the United States government shaped and pruned into factory form. There is a house of representatives, elected by the employes; a senate composed, usually, of the department heads; a cabinet consisting of the higher fac tory executives; a supreme court to keep congress in line with the shop constitution, and a president, who is the head of the concern. As repre sentatives in congress, the employes naturally have a full share in the business of fixing working hours, wages, and working conditions. Variations of this theme are found in many Cleveland factories, some times minus one of the upper bodies, and sometimes minus the president veto power. Occasionally employes' mass meetings take the place of the house of representatives, and in one or two instances a planning board has been substituted for the senate. One factory, also, has adopted the scheme of holding a popular referendum at the end of each year to decide whether the system in use shall be continued or rejected for another. In still other factories the employes are represented by shop committees which have the privilege of stating thelr views on eyerything pertaining to the relations between the employes and the management. While they do not introduce any laws, like the house of representatives, their words ate listened to with respect. One large plant has a shop committee for each department, which submits its rec ommendations to the head of the de partment or to the factory manager, if the matter is sufficiently important. In another large establishment the employes are divided into three groups foremen, sub-foremen and a com mittee of workers. These three groups, in turn, meet and choose the mem bers of a welfare committee whicn deals directly with all questions aris ing between the employes and the management. Helped Garment Workers. Perhaps the most striking employes' representation is found in the perma nent board of arbitration maintained by the Cleveland manufacturers of women's wear and the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union. This board has succeeded for the first time in the history of the garment trade In making the garment industry a perma nent instead of a seasonal one. with an annual wage for each class of work ers, and a week's vacation every year, with pay. As a result of this new movement for better industrial relations, also, the candy manufacturers of Cleve land, of which there are a great many. have likewise decided to try to string j their candy-making along during me entire year instead of rushing it thru in a couple of season. The big sea son for candy are just before Christ mas and just before Easter, at wnicn periods the candy industry has always taken on large numbers of employes, only to let them go as the demand slackened. Now many of the candy manufacturers are making all or tneir hard candies during the slack season. thus retaining the majority of their employes the year around. That the movement for Better laoor conditions has taken permanent root in Cleveland Is shown by the attitude of the local chamber of commerce. which has recently issued a report on "Labor Relations in Cleveland A Declaration of the Principles Estab lishing a Proper Basis Therefor," In which it holds these truths to be self evident: An Industrial Creed. "That the prosperity of any com munity is dependent upon the success of its enterprises. That -the success of any enterprise in turn Is largely de pendent upon the degree of co-cpera-tion maintained between employers, employes and investors, and upon the good will of the public. Furthermore, that a lack of co-operation in any in dustry or establishment influences un favorably those industries and estab lishments where satisfactory labor re lations do exist. "That while the law of supply and demand must inevitably influence wage rates, in fixing the rates of wages fen- both men and women many additional factors should be taken into consideration- namely, the cost of living, opportunity to advance the standard of living, savings, loyalty, productivity quality and quantity initiative and individual skill, nature and hazard of the work, importance of the work performed, punctuality and steadiness, and continuity of em ployment. "That hours of work should be fixed at a point consistent with the well- ing of the-worker, providing: him ample time for leisure, rest, recreation, home-life and self-development, and consittent with the public's economic requirements. "That the public interest and the comfort and health of individual em ployes demand that every effort should ba made to perfect th con ditions of employment, with special reference to sanitary conditions, heat, light, and ventilation; safeguarding neann m me wumei. uu yruviu- in case of, industrial accidents and occupational diseases; suitable rest periods when necessary, and, due warning to the worker if he is under taking to perform a hazardous oc cupation." This, briefly, is Cleveland' creed for solving the labor problem in Cleve land a creed which is being follow ed in every detail by the more en lightened manufacturers. Of the welfare work that is being carried out In their factories of the many forms of service provided, such as medical and legal aid, restaurants and cafe terias, community buying of staple commodities, money advances for pay ments on homes; of the recreation facilities, including gymnasiums, bowl ing clubs, individual locker, baths, clubrooms, orchestras, dances and en tertainments, and of the relief associa tions, savings clubs and profit-sharing schemes, much could be written were white paper not so costly. We can only add that if we wanted to study the art of graceful conciliation we would certainly take our post-graduate course In Cleveland.

The gracious man or woman may not give you half so much, but they do It with a sympathy that warms the very couklea of your heart; they make you feel that they consider it a privilege to know you instead of impressing on you that it is an honor for you to know them, and you never go from their presence without in some subtle way having your opinion of yourself some how inflated.

To do this begin by teaching chil dren to always speak in a pleasant tone of voice. Never let them acquire the bad habit of snapping or snarling, or replying in a surly manner when spoken to. It is just as easy to ac quire an agreeable voice as it Is a disagreeable one, and the one wins, at least, a hearing, while to the other every listener turns a deaf ear.

Teach them to thank every one who does a kind ness to them, and to show a proper gratitude for every courtesy. Take the trouble to make them write letters of thanks to people who send them presents, and notes of congratulations and condolence to their acquaintances who have Joys come to them, or sor rows befall them. Teach them to consider the feelings of other people and to avoid saying the things that hurt and tab Just as they would refrain from physically wounding other people.

Questions Answers Evening Story An Unsuccsesful Bachelor. BY MARY MORRISON. When Roger King returned to New ton, Conn., after roughing It for two years on a sheep ranch in Colorado, he found himself the victim of a con dition and a theory. The condition, that of a quite satisfactory bachelor hood, was his,. The theory, that until attractive and liglble bachelors were converted into model and happy hus bands there was no place for them in the world, was Newton's. Poor Roger! At the club, at the dinner table, even when he sought refuge In the blue, blue waters of Long Island Sound, Inexorable fate was al ways beside him in the form of some well meaning young newly wed, say ing: "Jove, man! You don't know what you are missing. Just look at us!" And always the echo would follow, "But Just wait until Peggy Jerome corns home from Honolulu!" To say that Roger King became restive after a week of this is putting it mildly. After two weeks, he be gan to show signs of positive ill humor. And when, on the first day of the third week, he stopped in at the Tom Stedrr.ans for a friendly chat and Mrs. Tom pulled out a letter with a Honolulu postmark, saying, "I just must read you this letter from Peggy to show you how awfully bright she is." he must be excused for saying un der his breath: "Damn Peggy!" That's what New ton did to Roger King, by nature a most polite and well mannered young man. "You tell me again what a bright. beautiful, bound to-make-any-man-happy sort of girl Peggy Jerome is, and I'll be off for Colorado so fast that you can't see me for the dust. Is It a crime for a man to be single?" he raged, when they protested. "Yes!" answered Newton with one accord. "Well. I won't be reformed by Honolulu Peg, anyway," he retorted rudely. So Newton was warned and became wiley and artful and conspired against him. It was the night of the Jennings dance. Roger was looking forward to a splendid time. He adored danc ing, and as he tied his tie with great care in flront of the looking glass he hummed "Dardanella" gayly. He climbed into his car and started off. at perfect peace with the world, declar ing that since he had stopped his friends' attempts at playing cupid- by one "damn" and two rude remarks, Newton was the best town this side of heaven and he'd fight any man who said otherwise. Mrs. Jennings met him, beaming. "I'm so glad you've come at last, Roger," she said sweetly. "I've been telling some one all about you and I yant you to meet her. right away." If she can only dance, I'm her de voted slave for life." swore Roger, "I don't car whether she can talk or not." "Dance! Talk!" exclaimed Mrs. Jen nings, rapturously, "Why, young man', she is the most wonderful dancer, the brightest conversationalist, the "Lead me to her!" cried Roger, in terrupting, "What's her name?" "Peggy Jerome!" announced his hostess, "She's the prettiest But Roger's back had disappeared out of sight down the hall before she had time to finish. "Plague take It," he cried, as he made for the door that led into the saiety or the garden. He sank onto a ix I i Ltiicw y ii ii, an aressea, on ine stone bench atid gazed fiercely at the bed. and must have fallen asleep im moon. which smiled back at him be-j mediately. It was 10 o'clock when I ifisnij, juue untoucned oy his ill humor. Here he was, enjoying life and thinking Newton an earthly para dise when this Peggy creature had to loom onto the horizon again and spoil it all. "Lrat It all," he raged, "They haven't even mentioned her for six weeks!" A tempestuous, furious rush which ended In the sudden occupation of the other end of his bench made Roger Jump up in surprise. "Oh, I beg your pardon," said a mu sical voice, which somehow reminded Roger of springtime in the- woods when the call of the birds mingles wnn merry noise of overf owimr brqok. "I came out in such a hurry I did not notice anyone was here. You see," she continued, after a pause, leaning a little toward him, "there is a man in there that I would rather die than meet. I hate him!" "Good!" exclaimed Roger, full of his grievance, "I gather think we're kindred fouls. There's a girl infido that I just won't meet, even if it means that I've got to go to Colorado to escape her." "What's the matter with her?" asked the girl. "I'll wcger that for sheer unpleasantness she's not a patc'i on my man." She awful," groaned Roger, the tortures of his few weeks in Newton sweeping over him. "Point by point, I know she can outdo your friend, any day." "Well, let's match them up, then, point by point," laughed the girl. "You start!" "To begin with, she's 'very bright." I do hate very bright people," began Roaer. "My man Is very eligible! If there's one crime worse than being brightr it Is being eligible," retorted the girl. "She is bound to make any man happy." exclaimed Roger in disgust. "He is so handsome and strong. Ugh!" cried his companion. "She plays beautifully on the ukulele!" continued Roger. "What!" demanded the girl ab ruptly. "Been In Honolulu, you know, and "Who are you?" she interrupted. "Excuse me. I should have intro duced myself." Roger said. "My name is Roger King why, what on earth is the matter?" The girl was looking at him in horri fied amsfzement. "I thought you were in there." she gained. Jumping to her feet, poised for flight. "Stop!" commanded Roger, "do you mean that you were running away from me that I am the unpleasant creature who is so eligible and hand some and strong!" "Yes," faltered the girl. "You see, they kept writing me about you, every letter I received wa full of your do ings and sayings. and I became rather them about two months ago that if they couldn t write to me without haullr.a; you in they need not expect any answer from me. I didn't mean to tell you thi so brazenly but you aee. th.y did ram you down my throat A "Good Lord!" ejaculated Roger, "Tou're PeRgy Jerome.'" Tea." breathed the girl. From the house came the strains of a waltz, taint and sweet. The moon K waa bathing the garden with a migic enchantment. Roger King and Peggy Jerome faced each other, a rather shy light in her eyes, a very determined one in his. "I'm afraid you win, in that point by point game we were playing a minute ago," she said finally. "I do not win," replied Roger with decision. "She 1 th most beautiful girl I have ever seen and after I have persuaded her that I am neither very eligible nor at all handsome. I am going to" Peggy interrupted him, quickly. "Let's go and dance," aha aid. Newton won, hands down. (Copyright, 1920, by the McClura News- paper Syndicate.) JUST A GIRL By JANE PHELPS DISCOURAGEMENT. CHAPTER 42. The fat man looked me up and down, at my clothes rather than at me. "Let' see your references." "I haven't any," my heart sinking. "Where have you worked, and why did they discharge you? I take it you were discharged, if you have no refsr ence.". "I have never worked in Chicago. I have never worked anywhere." I knew that my three weeka as maid with Mrs. Rush would be no recom mendation. "But you said nothing of experience or references." I said in desperation. "You said neat, willing, and obliging."

"Are you a good and fast typist? Can you read your own notes?" "P,h! You didn't say you wanted that kind of a girl. You said an office girl." "What did you suppose an office girl did? Sit around and look pretty, or make goo-goo eyes at me?" "Oh!" I gasped again. It was all I was capable of. I couldn't have spok en to save my life. "An office ornament! That Is what you want to be. Is It? Well, you wouldn't make a bad one. Leave your address, and some time when I am not busy I might hire you for a week or two." His double chin seemed in danger of disintegrating. I groped mv wa'v thru tho nutr nr. fice, past the grinning office boy. Into the hall, then down to the street. I nau Deen so optimistic about this ad vertisement, that the dlsaonolntmenr. added to the insults, were almost more than I could bear. I decided it would do no good to look further for an office position. And tired, discouraged, tears almost blinding me, I hurried back to my room to rest and wait for the morrow. Too tired to eat then, I bought a bot tle of milk and some rolls and took them In with me. I would eat them later .after I had rested a bit. My feet were almost blistered, and I ached in every bone in my body. A day spent in line waiting to interview some one. or rushing from place to place is horribly tiring. Had it not been for the work at Mrs. Rush's, which had hardened me a bit, I don't believe I could have done it. As It was, every muscle in my body ached. i tnrew myseir, ail dressed, on the wakened, stiff and uncomrortable be cause of my clothing. It had been not quite when I laid down. I undressed, then ate some bread and milk. Naturally, I was wide awake by the time I had finished. "I'll try the stores in the morning. The exclusive shops first," I said as I looked over my list. "It would be nice to get In a small place." So in the morning I commenced a round of the exclusive shops. Milli nery, underwear, stockings, all kinds of goods that such shops deal in. But they were worse than the offices in a way.

"Well. then, there's no use wasting your time here!! The last girl she took without references stole Madame blind. She wouldn't take you if you was Queen Mary, without references." Rebuff followed rebuff most of them based upon the fact that I bad no references. "Is there no faith In the world, no kindness?"

C, "if you know anythin. about golf, and if you do. how 'Nerves' in Col lier's of July 10 intrigued you." We krfow very little about golf, but as one whose most notable gesture is that of reaching for his niblick, we have an academic interest in the game; and if the accompanying love story is not too cloying, we follow it in its sporadic outbreaks in the magazines and peri odicals. We withstood the initial agony of the sappy affair ot the heart upon which "Nerves" wa superimposed with a stoicism born of years of in discriminate reading. We contem plated the spectacle of a hero who hadn't touched a golf club In five years going into the finals of a na tional championship without a sud- der. But when they tossed a coin to decide the tie leading to the semi finals we quite cold. Lie Cousin Eg' bert, we can be "pushed so far." After that we devoted the remainder of the evening to conjecture as to how the bird who wrote the story managed to sell It. We are little concerned about it. but we do have a mild sort of curiosity as to whether Senator Hi-ram John son merely is paying the Republican parry a casual visit or Intends to be come identified with the concern. The senator, who was a member of the Republican partv for a couple of months In 1916, will finds It much changed. It still is a bit timid, but it no longer shivers and shudders. We hesitate to criticize our favorite author, but to our notion Irv Cobb, who recently made a compilation of the triumphant assininities of the old Fifth Reader and other textbooks, omitted mention of the choicest of the lot. We refer to the story of "The Barber of Bath." We'd love to have Mr. Cobb reread the story and express his reac tion to it to his legion of readers. Meanwhile, we'll do the best we can in tho matter of re-creating it. The Barber of Bath, thru his dis inclination to minister to hi custom ers on Sunday, had fallen upon evil days. Once prosperous, he had been reduced to a dingy cellar and ex treme poverty. One Saturday evening, just at nightfall, he was visited by a stranger in extreme haste who wanted a shave and who expressed his disin clination to profane the Sabbath by waiting for it until the morrow. The barber thereupon burst into tears and asked the loan of a half-penny, ex plaining between his spasms of grief that it was too dark to shave the stranger in safety and that, due to his unflnancial condition, he lacked the wherewithal to purchase a candle. Pressed for details, he told the stranger the story of his financial ruin, which had its inception in his re fusal to open up on Sunday morning. The stranger, who was rich and promi nent. Immediately recognized in the barber his long-lost brother, and that very night took him away from his dingy cellar to a life of easy afflu ence. That, to us, is the most exasperating story in McGuffey's old Fifth Reader. But we are not sure we weigh it with the keen literary Judgment which dis tinguishes most of our criticism. Prej udice may have something to do with our attitude: we never could stand a crying barber. And so we ask Mr. Cobb to give it the benefit f critical analysis. The people of the state at large are poking much good-natured fun at the mob which assembled in Texas the other day. The mob. It seems, burned the wrong man, and everybody is laughing at it. Underneath the surface there is some dissatisfaction and not a little half-veiled criticism. The feeling is that the mob made itself ridiculous. A story on John Tyler to the effect that he never so much as kissed his wife's hand until three weeks before they were married has been revived. Mr. Tyler was not one of the notable presidents, but there is no reason to hold him up to ridicule at this late day. Those who would criticise him for his dilatory' tactics should take into ,.1i.oiuciauun me lact xnac ivir. jyipr" lived in a conservative age.
