The remedies offered for c"" comlc conditions are legion. The sit uation calls to mind the days when Kansas was subject to visitations ot gra.shoppers. Plans for disposing of the pests appeared In large numbers. One Topeka newspaper set forth at considerable length a scheme wh Jch was declared to be especially effective. It consisted In runnins the farm roller over the growing wheat and thus crushing the life out of the hoppers. Capt. A. C. Wallace, a farmer, long since dead, possessed a field of lux uriant wheat which was Just begin ning to head. He read the newspaper suggestion and decided to try a, hitched a faBt stepping team to the farm roller and proceeded to roll. Having gone over several acres of his --ji ruin ir that the wheat waa not -returning to a standing v' tlou as had been promised, he de econded from the machine to observe results more closely. Investigation, he declared, convinced him mat no not so much as broken a 1 of one of the Insects. Panaceas for earthly troubles usually are offered most lav ishly by those who are unconversant with the subject of which they treat A, bottle of Scotch whisky has been placed tn the cornerstone of a new building In Jersey City. This seems to render the stone liable to prosecution for having liquor In Its possession. i---1. Colonel Bryan has placed the mark hi. .n,nvl unon Senator Harding. This, however, may not Indicate that the senator s mind runs along wnn that of the colonel on all matters. Probably It rests largely upon the sen ator's wisdom- in selecting persons from whom to obtain advice. Colonel Bryan may hold an entirely different view four years from now. He has been known to change his mind, re garding public men. Fur dealers apparently have op hand more ot the finished product than they can sell and have asked the 'trappers to cease -their activities for awhile. Even this would make little difference If the Russian markets should be opened up. There prob ably would be available a large supply r.9 nalti In tlilKftifl. A great commotion has arisen over the passage of an anti-strike bill by the senate last week. There Is no cause for excitement. Let Senator La Follette and the labor leaders wait un til the bill gets over to the house. That body will take ease et it. House members must be elected every two years- The ways and means committee vjI the house proposes levying a tariff on imports of wheat. In vlew"bf th fact that export demand last week raised the price of wheat several cents a bushel, it is difficult to see how a tar iff duty on this cereal would help the farmer. i 1 -U Figures, Tunning high Into the bil lions, of losses sustained in connection with falling prices have rectotly ap peared. One man estimates the losses of the farmers alone at many billions of dollars thru recent declines In farm commodities. It Is, undoubt edly, frue that a sharp and unexpected decline In commodity prices does pre sent a serious problem, but there ia no need to exaggerate It It should be remembered that, despite price changes, the actual physical wealth of the country remains. The country still has its railroads and its real es tate. Its houses and its factories. Its hogs. Its corn, its cattle, and Its cot ton. In many cases, changes in prices have little significance. It is a mat ter of concern to the farmer whether the surplus of his eggs, which he sells, rises or falls In price. It is a matter of Indifference to how, however. whether the price of the eggs that he produces for his own table rises or falls. Of the three billion bushel corn crop, something like six hundred mil lion bushels only ordinarily enter the markets. It Is a matter of great con cern to the farmer what price he gets for the part of the corn crop that he sella but for the part ot his crop which remains on his farm, price fluc tuations are a matter of indifference. It la a matter of concern to him, of j course, whether the hogs, cattle and other animals which he feeds for the market with eorn rise or fall In price; but it would involve double counting for him to reckon a loss both on the livestock fed and on the corn fed to them. Often in the past we have read ot enormous losses on Wall street when there have been violent fluctua tions In the prices of stocks, but those losses have been largelyVpaper losses. SHALL INFLATION CONTINl'K? Despite the warning of treasury of ficials, bankers and many business men, that any plan to inflate credit at the present time means only a post ponement of readjustment, farming Interests have so far prevailed in their campaign for government assistance as to have obtained the passage of a resolution by congress directing the secretary ot the treasury and the war finance corporation, to revive the ac tivities of the latter organization "with the view of assisting in the financing of agricultural and other products to foreign markets." Another section of the resolution says that it is the opinion of congress that the federal reserve board should take such action as may be necessary to permit the member banks of the federal reserve system to grant liberal extensions of oredlf to the farmers of the country upon the security of the agricultural products now held by them, by permitting the redlscountlng of such notes of extension at a fair and reasonable rate of interest. This fea ture was eliminated by the house. Dispatches from Washington an. nounoe that President .Wilsotu Is ex pected to veto the measure. In opposing this resolution Senator fMge declared that "at its best a re vival of the war finance corporation would be only constructing a tempor ary structure to relieve artificially an Inevitable situation, and In the final analysis would simply p.u.t off a little longer that settlement with some losses, which we all must recognize cannot be averted. When we establish or maintain artificial prices we only postpone the evil day ot readjustment to normal levels. If we are to keep prtcea up or if we are to levy some other form of taxation the people must pay, and I am not in favor of such, legislation." I Apparently the president is in agree ment with Senator Edge. In a discussion of the alleged fail ure of the League of Nations, the Troy Times says: "The Harding adminis tration will see that there is a work able agreement, not a house of cards built on the sand of temporary ad vantage, but a temple of Justice on the enduring foundation of righteousness expressed in the terms of law." The Harding administration may be ac tuated by the best intention, but how can It accomplish all this without the co-operation of other nations? Other countries may object to our kind of league, just as we objected to theirs. Doubtless Senator Harding will make an honest effbrt to carry out his prom ises regarding an association of na tions, but he may not be able to de liver the goods. THE TOBOGGANING PRICES. Further reductions in prices have been announced here and there dur ing the past week and eurrent reports for index numbers show an accelerat ed fell abroad for the latest period, the "Statist" number having declined about. H points during November. The dgjnestle news regarding price changes for the past Week or more, while not so striking as formerly, shows that in some lines, particularly in retail establishments, revision Is proceeding. In consequence many ar ticles are now considerably below -the level they occupied when we entered tree war, and in some instances have fallen to the level of ISIS. This latter la true of such important materials as rubber, copper and a variety of others. During the week also the readjust ment process has begun to make itself felt in wages. Important textile mills announcing a cut of 21 H per cent, while other wage if ductions are under consideration and will probably, take effect as soen as an understanding with labor ean be obtained. There is an increasing amount of evidence,' says Henry Clews in his Financial Review, that the abler labor leaders, at least, recognize the impos sibility' of maintaining war conditions In wages at a time when war prices are falling away. The readjustment In retail prices which la now begin ning to make headway, he says, also gives good ground for the belief that the readjustment process ia reselling 4 much' more advaneed stage and that It will accordingly be possible to resume- purchasing and manufacturing on a much larger scale in the near fu ture. Bankers and far-sighted ob servers generally are advising the ac cumulation of materials at present prices in erdr to reduce costs of pro duction when demand revives.

RASKIN, Director. WealUngToa. D. C "SCXLESS SUNDAY." New York City, Dec. 18. The pro posed Sunday law, which was ex plained from the Washington view point in this column a few days ago, is the center of a real emotional dis turbance here in New York. And hare again, the excitement seems to have obseured the facts. Neighborhood meetings are being called in all parts of the city and sur rounding suburbs to protest against the resurrectlo of the blue laws; local chapters of the American Legion are organising to light them; the Free thinkers' Society is threatening opposi tion to all kinds of reformers, and the theater and moving picture industries are preparing to fight to keep the sub ject of the Sabbath out of our ever growing book ot national laws. Of course, all of us have been more or less prepared for further reforms ever since the successful ratification of the eighteenth amendment, but it is doubtful if anyone expected them to come so soon, or so many ef them at once- Occasionally, we heard that an attack against tobacco was ominously imminent, but that the reformers were sharpening their tomahawks for an at tack on all forms of Sunday recrea tion, healthful or otherwise, was scarcely suspected until the Lord's Day Alliance announced its belligerent in tentions. Even now, some people are of the opinion that the Alliance cannot be sincere In what it says that there is some "Jinx" about the thing some where. For instance, the other night, the following conversation between two business men on the subway, fil tered up to the reporter's ears: "I believe it's all a trumped-up scheme on the part of the Republican party," said the first business man sagely. "They mayttave given these old boys a little encouragement. Just to throwthem over in the end. For even a feeble-minded person can see that the people are not going to sub mit to any more restrictions on Sun day. It's bad enough to get thru as it is. Well, then, what would make a better Impression on the people than for the Repubs. to squash the blue law agitation just as soon as they get into office. What would win the pub lic's confidence qucker?" "Hmm, that's a pretty thedty." said the second business man, "but remem ber that everybody thought that pro hibition was a Joke until the Supreme court' declared it wasn't. The first thing you know we'll all be dragged out of bed on Sunday morning by pro bation officers employed by the com munity to see that we go to church." A Blue Law Advocate. On the whole, New York is inclined to treat the Sunless Sunday movement very seriouely, and anyone who has heard the Rev. Henry L. Bowlby, gen eral secretary of the Lord's Day Alli ance and leader of the movement, state his case can be perfectly sure that the Alliance means what it says. Mr. Bowlby Is short of stature and has short, thick, energetic hands. His eyes are small and shrewd, his mouth a thin, determined line above a stub born chin. In Altoona, Pa., where he was formerly a minister of the gospel, he was known as an excellent "field pastor" rather than an eloquent preacher. Pn other words, he is an extremely efficient executive the very type one would expect to find presid ing over the crowded, business-like offices of the Alliance in the Presby terian Building on Fifth avenue. When being interviewed, Mr. Bowl hy is self-confident, but cautious. He is careful not to say anything on his own authority, but quotes elaborately from the pamphlets of tile Alliance, while one of the officials of that or ganization usually his attorney, sits watchfully at his elbow. When asked if the reported aims of me alliance were true, the other day, the reverend executive asserted that he, personally, had been continually misquoted by the newspapers, but would be glad to rehearse the program and purpose of the organization. "Our organization is backed by six teen denominations," he began, (in cluding all except' the Roman Catho lics, Jews, the Seventh Day Adventlsts and the Unitarians. We are well financed. Our lobby at Washington will be a strong and effective one. We shall work in every'congressional dis trict in every state. We shall advo cate and spread propaganda and cause voters to write unceasingly to their representatives in congress until no congressman who cares- to stay in congress will dare refuse to vote for our measures. These were the meth ods used by the Anti-Saloon League, and they were effective. "We propose to pass no blue laws. There are no such things as blue laws and never were, so far as I know. We don't propose to legislate people into church. Ii other words, we shall try to close the baseball parks; the golf links; the motion picture and other theaters: the concert halls: the amuse ment parks; the tennis courts, and the bathing beaches. We shall fight H amusements where an admission fee is charged. We shal oppose golf, base ball, tennis, football and other sports even if purely amateur or devoid of financial eost to those watching or taking part, because they set bad ex amples for children who otherwise misht be content to go to Sunday school. To Cnf Off the Gas. "We shall seek to restrict the sale of gasoline for pleasure automobiles and urge other measures that will stop Sunday automobiling and Joy riding. This will not bring the old-fashioned horse and buggy back because we, be lieve that the Lord's day should be a day of rest for man and beast. "Excursion steamer rides on Sun day will be opposed by us on the grounds that they are unnecessary to the moral welfare of America. We also see no reason why the public li braries or art galleries should remain open on 8unday. And Sunday news papers are certainly unnecessary." When pressed for his opinion of something that the people could do on Sunday besides go to church, Mr. Bowlby declared that there would be no obj ation to them walking In the fields or parks or attending the beaches. "Provided they do not go in bathing," he added. It has been stated several times in the newspapers that the program of the Lord's Day Alliance is strongly backed by the Anti-Saloon League, but the Anti-Saloon Leasue now vigor ously denies it- According to the of ficials of the New York branch of this organization, theyre not the slightest bit concerned with the fate of Sunday, but are spending all their time and energy in atteVnpting to see that pro hibition is enforced. That thesixteen denominations said to be backing the -Lord's Day Alliance in its campaign to suppress Sunday recreation are not entirely unanimous in their stand is evidenced by the statements of individual members of Jthe clergy, who have frankly criticised the blue law movement. One of these courageous dissenters in Dr. William T. Manning, rector ef Trinity fcnurch here, who referred to the matters as follows, in a recent sermon: I "This proposed campaign for stricter Sunday laws is one of these well meant but misguided efforts which do harm Instead of good, ta the cause they are intended to serve. It is impracticable, wrong in principle and based on a narrow and Imperfect conception of Christian religion. It would do far more to drive religion out ef the hearts of the jjeople than to draw them toward It. "We have no right to compel religious observance of Sunday by law, The law should forbid all unnecessary business on Sunday, and thus, as far aspossible, secure to, all their right to Sunday as a day of freedom from their ordinary occupation and of religious' observance if they wish to use it. Further than this, the, law may not rlgh'ly go." The Right Rev. Charles S. Burch, bishop of New York, is also firmly opposed to forcing Sunday blue laws upon the people. He says: "I do not believe that the people of this country are going back to the New England blue laws. It what little I have seen is correct, the reformers are going pretty far. I do not believe we are golne; to have such a revolu tion as would oecur if we prohibit in terstate commerce on Sunday. You cannot legislate people into moral or You can educate ethical positions. them to it, butK you cannot achieve morality by compelling them to give up what they believe are their con stitutional rights." Even more interesting tlutn the views of the clergy are the views of the people now pouring into, the of fices of New York newspapers, some of which are printing them in their columns. Unfortunately, we have not the space to set down the opinions of the people here. But suffice it to. say that they are surprisingly serious and hostile to all reformers. They show conclusively that the Sunless Sunday will not be accepted with the same good-natured resignation that ushered In the Eighteenth amendment. Dorothy Dix Talks ST DOROTHY DE WurM' Highest ali treaiaa Wrlsn. There's Always a Way 1. Mr. W. L. George, the English novel ist, says that a weman is lacking in what our colored friends call "pro blusness" if she doesn't find out on her honeymoon whether swearing or tears is most effective with her hus band. A man is equally lacking In gump tion if he 'doesn't improve the same shining hours by ascertaining the magic formula whioh will make his wife as dough in his hands and keep her thinking that he is a romantic hero seven feet high, who is a com bination of Solomon, and Pax Swap, and Babe Ruth. Considering that a man's happiness and comfort, and most of his pros perity are determined by the kind of a wife he has, and his ability to get along with her, and to induce her to do the things he wants her to do, it is a curious fact that so few men take the trouble to study the psychology ot the ladles to whom they are married, so that they may have, -at least, a rudimentary idea of which way the cat will jump under any given cir cun.stances. Still less do they know how to make the cat jump at will, and in the direction they desire.- iw Yet to manage a woman la ab. surdly simple. It is only necessary for the man to find out whether to use the big stick, or a glib tongue, and then go to it. Undoubtedly there are a few women who enjoy having a master, who like to be pulled about by the hair of their heads, so to speak, and told where to get on and where to get off, but the clinging vine kind of woman is about as rare in these days as a blue rose, and a man. needs to be very sure that he has gotten Patient Griselda as a life partner before he pulls the cave man stuff. Or else ne win una nimsen in the hospital, or the divorce court. There is. However, a type oi neu rotio woman, the woman who is ut terly selfish, and heartless, and mean, and who works herself up into hys terical rages, or else shams invalid ism, in order to get her wayr who never reallv loves any man who isn't a brute, or respects a husband of whom she is not afraid. There is something yellow in the makeup of a woman of this kind, and she will lick the nana" that beats her. Therefore, when a man finds he Is married to a woman who does not re spond to kind treatment, and who has no code of honor or duty of her own, only two courses are open to him. One is to leave her. The other is to terrorize her. Fo- this type of woman the only motto is, "Treat 'em rough." With the great majority of women diplomacy is the thing. They lika to ho 1o1llel 'ft If, n th domestic hieh- i way, and any man who will do it may lead his wife withersoever he chooses. (Copyright, 1020, by t"1 "iVtieHer Cyndlcsta lnc.

We sat talking and laughing over our food until nearly 4 o'clock. Then I asked for the check. I- had tried to add it up during the meal, but it had been, impossible for me to do It. I, of course, had a sort of an idea what it would amount to, but I felt comfortable to think I had put aU Dick had given me in my bag. The check came to a little over $14 and we had only -ordered two portions of crab meat. I fave the waiter 11.60 at a rted lom Clara as I picked .the change he brought me. My little party had cost me over 15. But I felt it had been worth it. Mrs. Stcweil's limous'ne was wait- mg and she took us home, driving thru the park. "Be sure and come and see me soon," she said at parting. Wa ha dropped Clara first, and she had also invited her to call. "My husband is wild over your little boy. Come Sun day when he is at home, and make that big husband of yours bring the baby. It will please Mr. Stowell Im mensely." I accepted blithely. Dick would be pleased. I knew he liked Mr. Stowell. Her invitation might make it easier for me to' confess my extravagance about the luncheon. Clara telephoned me asViost as soon as I got home. "I just couldn't wrait! I wanted so to talk things over with you," she said when I answered. "It was all right, wasn it? Every thing?" "I should say it was! Couldn't have been nicer if she had given it. Even if she is so rich. But that's the way to do. When you ive a party do it up brown, even if you can't do it often." "I shall have to eat dry-trackera for a month to pay for this!" I replied, laughing, yet feeling it was the truth nevertheless. Not once did a thought that 1 had wronged my husband enter my mind, or that I had rohbed him by spending his money so extravagantly. He de nied himself in-every way, smoking, lunches, in many little economies, while I not only had treated my friends to an extravagant for us luncheon, but had 4lse given the waiter a sub stantial tip. But I was a bit anxious as to what he would say. I was quite sure -he would be hurt because I had not thought my home good enough to en tertain Mrs. Stowell in. But he should make more money then we could live in a place where I wouldn't be morti fied to have people like her visit me, 1 thought. Anyway she was his friend before she had become mine, and it was for his sake as well as my own that I wanted to have things nice for Jier -83 I persuaded myself. ..It is easy to make onea self believe things. Especially when we Want to believe them. I told Dick about Mrs. Stowell's in vitation for Sunday. He seemed pleased, and agreed to go. Then he asked the usual question: "What have you been doing today? Did you and Junior go 'out?" "I went out, downtown. Mrs. Dooly stayed with Junior." "Where did you go?" Dick had no idea of quizzing me, that I knew. He was simply making talk. Yet I felt annoyed with him. I intended to tell him. I had to. because J Mrs. Stowell would be sureT to mention it Sunday. But I wanted to tell him my own way. "I went to the Waldorf to luncheon with Mrs. Stowell and Clara." "I didn't know they were acquaint ed. Who gave the luncheon, Mrs. Stowell?" "They weren't acquainted until' to day. And I gave the luncheon" There, it was out. "You gave a luncheon, at the Wal dorf! What kind of a luncheon?" "A very good one,'' I did not like his tene. t "But, Nan. I don't understand. We cannot afford any such extravagance now we aren't out of debt yet. and you are constantly talking of what you need." I shivered when he said we weren't out of debt. He little knew how deeply we were in debt. "Well, I had to do it, and 1 Just wouldn't entertain them here!" and altho I am not the weepy kind I com menced to cry. For once Dick paid ho attention 'te my tears. "How much did it cost?" "Fourteen .dollars." 'I would say nothing of the tip. "Nan! Tou spent $14 at the Wal dorf when three or four would have entertained them Just as well at home if you felt you must do it, when I need a suit of clothes so badly, and you also aay you needat and dress?" "Well, it's done, so there's no good scolding. I won't have to do it again for a long time.', "I wish you had spoken to me about it, dear. I "f did it on impulse," I returned. "Now let's forget it! I'll save it in some way, you're so wrought up over it. I'll go without something I need." (Tomorrow Dick extols his firm.) George Matthew Adams Daily Talk BROWNED BY FIRE. I have been thinking about the les son of inspiration contained in a loaf of bread. Take it When it in warm and particularly well browned Which part do most people like 1et? It's the brown parf that was pearett the fire! I spent a wonderfully happy eve ning recently with an old riend who related to me, in his modest fashion, some of the thrilling events of his trip to the frozen North, where tor three years he lived and worked. I do riot make friends any too easily. but the minute I met this young man I liked him. For I knew that you could bank en him under any circum stances er in" any emergency. He looked the part and Impressed it right into you. He told me the other night of times When it looked as tho he would never live to tell the story. But he did! He told it to me. And you could see his days of fight and privation stamped in- his face and in the manner of his nice. He had been browned by soul fire., A man doesn't amount to much until he has been pretty close to the fires of life. And become- browned and sobered. Then he presents a fine spectacle of heroism. You who simply ret thru your day in the easiest way possible, has it ever occurred to you that tne time may come when your soft character will be swept like sand from its bearings and you left friendless, alone and helpless? For the race is not to the swift but to the strong. It isn't mere misfortune that brown's one soul, but the brave facing e without a whimper. ot misfortune A character that's worth having comes high and hard. The fire burns pretty- hot at times. But people will like jpu and stick to you because you will be as true and genuine as yqu ire "browned by fire!" Her Answer. BY HORACE FORD. "But, dear, won't yqu give me your answer now?" vThere was anxiety In Henry West's voice. "Yqu know I love you won't you tell me whether there's any chance for me?" Helen Kenyon lowered her eyea. Henry waited, alternately hoping and fearing. Finally she speke. "Henry, you must give me time to think it over. I don't want to make a derision like this suddenly. I will tell you you are coming to our house for Christmas Eve. aren't you?" "Wliq, yes. Your mpther was kind enough to invite rre." "Well, I will tell you that night. Now don't look so downcast!" Her voice took cn a note of pleasant rail lery. "It's only a week off, and surely you can wait that long, can't you? And you must go now it's half-past eleven." Henry West went out Into the crisp sparkle of the late December night with hta mind vibrating between hope and tear. He loved Helen sincerely and with all his heart, and when he nad asked her to marry him it was with the hope that she returned his feeling and would make him the hap piest man in the world by saying yea But he leqew Helen, and he knew that wheniher mirfd was made up there was no changing it. "Walt till Christ mas Eve," she had sand; so there was nfitmng to do but wait. The week dragged itself thru some how. There was last-minuteFttopiiui.' to attend to, cards to be sent out in fact, all the bustle that fills the last week before Christmas. Ordinarily the time would have sped all too fast, but to Henry Wast it seemed seven ages before he betook himself to the West house for their Christmas Eve party. His heart beat hard as he en tered and returned the greetings of tne lamuy ana tne assembled guests Helen met him and he tried to read in her face the answer, but she was Just the same as ver. The evening's fes tivities kept her busy and prevented him from having even a moment alone with her. As the time for deDarture-4 (l Evening Story drew near apd some of the guests said should get a Job writing a column for their good-nights, Henry's impatience' some other newspaper.

West'svinvitation. was to sprnd. the night thereto aa to make an eariy start lor tne holiday party on Christmas Day. As the last guest went away Henry looked about for Helen, but she was nownere to be seen. Mrs. West came to his rescue. The gifts are all piled ud in the music-room, Henry," she said. 'Yours is in there, too it might be a good idea if you. opened it now. We're going to make an early start in the morning, jur. west and I have opened our things and Helen has disanneared probably to look over her trinkets in neccroom before going to bed. You run into the music-room and look at yours. I picked it out myself, and J'm very proud of Viy taste. Good night!" And she was gone. Henry, with a heavy heart, entered the music room, Helen's absence could menn Konly one thing she had decided to reruse him and did not want to tell him so to his faee. Well, he would see what the Wests had pioked out for him, anyway. He entered the room and closed the door. In the darkend room there were bundles of all shapes and sizes, really for the morning's distribution. One in particular, he noted with his name painted on it in huge letters: It was an enormous box, nearly six feet high and three square. He looked at it in amazement at its size,- and then he smiled. It was just like Mrs. West to fool him. Whatever his gift was. wouia una it in th TnMdla ff ProDaD1J ,;n layers ot ex- ee.eior and carefully hidden. He grinned. Mrs. West was fond of m practical joking. It was Just like her to put a scarfplu or a pair of euffllnks in a box big enough to hold a sec tional bookcase and make him spend an hour or so hunting for it tn the packing. He snipped the string that bound the box and the huge sheet of wrapping paper fell off with a rattle. The front of the box was of one piece of heavy cardboard, held In place with a few tacks: He slipped the blade of his knife under the heads of the tacks and twisted them out one by one. When the next to the last tack was neatly on the table Henry hated making a mess he paused a moment to think of Helen. A quick pain gripped his heart at the thought of her now lost ofrever. Then he took a new grip on himself. He would take the blow like a man and now to see what Mrs. West had hidden for him. I lne last tack tinkled on the floor. Henry stooped to pick It up, and as he did so the cardboard fell sideways, revealing the Interior of "the box- iicin y Biinifgiiidicru itiiu luu&ea, pre pared to dislodge the packing. Then he stood motionlerg. spell bound." Inside the box was something glittering and shimmering a ball- dress the same, he had seen Helen wear that very evening,. And from the shadowy interior two white arms stretched out to him and a voice the voice of his dreams said softly: uo you line your Christmas present, Henry dearest?" A moment later and he held bis Helen in his arms, his heart thumping madly with Joy. And so absorbed did the couple become that neither of them heard the door open, nor did they realise that Helen's mother was in the room till her voice beside them startled them Into a realisation that life was still going on. "Well, Henry, do you like my Christinas girt to you? I told you that I had picked It out myself and that I was proud of my taste. Do you like It?" "Oh, Mrs. West- Henry stam mered. "Not Rnother word.

He also complains that when in telligent readers venture to criticize it we quote their reproofs with seeming gusto. Letters from "Subscriber," slightly less voluminous but couched in the same strain, have reached the owner and the city editor. "Sub scriber" asks that we be decorated with the battered can.

Like Kilbane, He "ever Wins by More Than Xecessary. New York, Dec. 21. As a business man, Pete Herman, the bantam kins, is a real champion. He's just like-Johnny Kilbane. For several years they've bee"h al lowing the fans to think they're about all in. They just win by a shade over a second-class map in a no-decision af fair. They always appear before a packed house of bugs who always figure that this time sure they're going to see the title change hands. This is one reason why Pete Her man, altho rated a "cheese champion," is a 7 to 5 favorite over Joe Lynch, considered the best boy of his weight in the country, for their championship battle tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. The wise ones figure Herman has been working ."under cover"; that he's been making himself look poor and that tomorrow night he'll show himself a real champion. The squatty Italian must be confi dent but if he's knocked out from under the crown, he'll lose a big purse that has been put up for his fight In London with Jimmy Wilde, the fly weight champion, on January 14. Both boys completed their training yesterday and were down to- weight 188 pounds, eight hours before bat tle time. New York, which regards the west side Irishman as an idol, feels sure the title will pass to a native son. He knocked out Jack Sharkey, the toughest little fellow in America, and if he get one of his snappy rights over, Herman very likely will go down. Herman has never shown much more of a punch than Sharkey's and Lynch took everything Little Jack had, being floored twice in their first meeting here. Lynch came back, however, so strong that Sharkey was lucky to get a draw. 25 YEARS ABO IN TOPEKA I Tff USE TELEGRAPH &&38fi& 8fi&SSQ W6WCil&M& From the Columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL December 31, 1895.

Special arrangements are being made by the telegraph company to handle the. messages which are going to be rushed thrtj at the last moment. The Western Union wil ltreble its force on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, to care for the anticipated rush. Nine auxiliary. brar h stations are to be Installed for the receipt of the messages for transmission to the outside, in department stores and rail way depots, during the week. Many Messages on File. Hundreds of messages are already on file with the telegraph company. with instructions not to send them until Christmas eve. Among these are cablegrams for nearly every country on the globe. Christmas greetings are going to China, Japan, the Philippine islands, the Vest Indies, all European countries and even for New Zealand, awaiting for transmission. An unusually large number of mes sages are being sent this year to Ire land, and also to Russia. Germany is getting her share, both of money transmitted by wire and of Christmas greetings from this country. More money than ever before is being trans mitted by wire from the United States to relatives and friends on the other side of the oceans during the present season. Adopted Americans or the descendants of foreigners who have friends and relatives in other countries are sending money to them this Christ mas because Americans have more money, as a rule, than the inhabitants of any other country.

For instance, an American gift of $100 to a Canadian, means $113. when it reaches the Cana dian.

Kunz, Topeka man ager for the Postal DeoDle. Special Christmas blanks are being prepared Dy both the Postal and the Western Union for the transmission of Christmas messages. Every effort is being made by the Western Union to carry thru the Christmas spirit of which the congrat ulatory messages and the financial gifts are the symbols. The drafts wnicn are being paid by the Western Union as Christmas presents are to be paid in brand new, crinkly currency, just as -a detail of the Christmas spirit. TREASURERS CLOSE BOOKS. Penalty of 5 I'eV Cent Added to Taxes in Kansas Counties. County treasurers thruout the state will close their books today for the annual fall tax paying season. All taxes received after today must be ac companied by a 5 per cent penalty on the entire year's taxes. Of the approximate state-wide total of $55,000,000 due the current tax year, it is estimated tkat county treas urers have collected better than half. Half, was due November 1, to be paid not ater than today; the other half, before June 21. While many taxpi' ers choose to pay the entire year's tax at the time the first half is due, on the other hand many have not paid even the first half, the Reason's total being possibly somewhat below the average because of adverse conditions affecting farmers. Many farmers are reported to be holding back wheat un til the. market is more favorable. PURDUE MAY IiOSE OUT. Rumor Has It That Indiana Univer sity Due to Lose Place In Big Ten.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1920 IA PITEOUS PLEA

thousands of Orphans Snffer In "ear East. Kansans Asked to Help Care for 110,639 Sufferers. Won't you adopt an orphan? j Will the big: heart of Kansas be t oiiched by the piteous plea that comes from thousands upon thousands of rphaned sufferers In the Near East? J Tou have but to think of those Jneroes whose marching feet left blood stains in the snow at Valley Forge to Realize the even more heroic endurance ft those patient hosts of little chil dren in the Near-East who are now buffering from winter's snow And liting cold. I Four Out of live Turned Away. At Harpoot last winter four out of "five children who appealed for help were turned away for lack of funds. JThe same heartbreaking condition will .exist in the Near East this winter un less immediate help is given. i There are in all 110,639 orphans to be- cared for. Of this number 66,039 Jure partially supported outside of or phanages. There are sixty-three hos pitals with 6.552 beds and 128 clinics. n the Caucasus in the twelve months Vver 650.000 people were fed on Amer Jcan flour. At Adana the April report Showed soup served to 55.800 persons and milk served to 4.515 children and f"colf'wilIiam N. Haskell is the relief tadministrator in Armenia and in his ecent report he said: J Ask America to Uf,P- "Without America, there would be no Armenian problem any more. The Armenian territory would remain, but the Armenian people would have teased to exist. The lives, literally of n whole nation (the Armenian repub lic as contrasted with Turkish Ar menia) have Been saved by America. This work mtist continue. To the 'twenty-five thousand children in or phanages in the Caucasus the Near Kast Relief is the sole hope, and the rest of the population continues to look to it for medical aid, education and moral support. America may have refused the Armenian mandate but Armenia has perfect confidence .In America." The heart of Kansas must be touched bv such picas for Kansas has never failed to answer the cry for help. For Only $10 Per Month. For one month $10 will feed and clothe nhd shelter an orphan and 115 will feed, clothe, shelter and educate. Jilany Kansans are adopting an or phan for one month, several months Or a year. Every amount contributed helps and any sum will be gratefully received. i If you cannot adot.it an orphan for i year won't you help toward an adop tion? Every cent you give brings Joy to a childish henrt and whatever the amount you give it will be your Christ mas gift to help save an orphan child from suffering. Contributions mnv be ri to S. K. fohh. treasurer. Near East Relief, To peka, Kan. COVXTY K V. (M B MF.ETS. CHjRISTMAS TREE FOR BOYS. Square Circle Club Will Provide for Boy's Industrial School. The boys at the State Industrial school will have a Christmas tree and treats provided by the members ot the Square Circle club. It was decided at the meeting of that organization, held Monday night. The Square Circle members will meet at the Elks' club Saturday after noon at 2145 o'clock and go to the In fln.strial school, where thev will assist a real Santa Claus in distributing the presents from their tree. EGG PRICES STAY DOWN Twenty-Cent I.ltiie Last Week En ableti Grocers to Vnload. Eggs, which dropped some 20 cents a dozen Saturday, held to their low level today in retail grocery "stores. A representative price today was 55 cents a dozen, as compared with 75 cents, the price Friday and until nearly noon Saturday. "People weren't buying eggs at 7S cents a dozen. They were just too high. We were paying 70 cents for them and they wouldn't sell at 75. We had to cut down to get rid of them at all said one leading grocer today. He doesn't know what eggs are going to do in the immediate or distant future. You can't tell what anything in the grocery line is going to do, he intiy mated. Sugar has stayed down the cent which it dropped last week, and a gen eral price for it today is 9 cents a pound, as compared with 10 cents last week. PROVIDE CHUIriYMAS DIXXEJt. Salvation Army Will Take Care of 300 Topeka Families. Some 300 Topeka families unable to provide for their own Christmas din ner will have issued to them tickets by the Salvation Army which will en title them to be presented with a basket of provisions sufficient for a good square meal for a large family. The distribution of the tickets -by the workers has already commenced, and tickets are to be presented Friday. The money which is being collected by the Salvation Army workers in the Avenue, is being used to provide the Christmas dinners. Wl'-'ur I, tiartln'r Is Kitted Pre-ii-dent of IVriminmt Organization. A permanent orfffin.7at.on of the Rh-wnro County K. U. club" whs ftmnel Monday nicrht when K. U alumni whose homes are in the county and X. V. guests from Lawrence had dinner at Pel'etier's. Officers of the new club were elected ph follows: President, Wilbur L. iiardner v'ce presidents, Frank C .V-k and Clyde Miller; secretary, Mrs. William F. llnwcn; treasurer, Chester AV. Woodward. The chief address of the even:ng was given b Chancellor K. H. Lindley, of the university, who described vividly the overcrowded condition which is handicapping the proper progress of the institution. The university plant is sufficient to rare for 2,000 students, Chincellor Lindley declared, and there are 5,400 students to be looked after, As a result many Kansas men and women are leaving the state to secure- their higher education and are not coming back after they have finished. Meetings of the club are to be held at least twice each year. The speakers Monday night includ ed: Frank C. Heck. Miss Grace Ki rn ore. Senator Hugh T. Fisher, of the KiMtc board of administration; Irving J-lill, president of the- K. C. Alumni association Thomas Dewey, founder of the Shawnee County Students' club; Alfred O. Hill, secretary of the Alumni association. Dean H. L. Butler led the community singing which featured the dinner program. Charles ojslin was cheer leader and Thomas A. Lee V. as toast master. More and More Reports From Topeka People For 30 years Donn'g Kidney Pills have, been helping kidney sufferers. More than 300,000 people v in the t'nited States alone have publicly told their own townspeople how Doan's have benefitted them. Scores of users right here at home tell how this old, time-tried kidney remedy rid them of Kidney backache, dizzy spells, daily headacres. kidney irregularities and other annoyins: forms of kidney weak ness. Read this home testimony: it should be convincing proof. Ask your neignDor. Another Topeka Case Mrs. R. E. Stovall. 707 Chestnut St. says: "I had blood poisoning and rheumatic trouble set in. The pains were so bad in my right arm that I couldn't raise it and my hips wer so affected that I could scarcely walk. My back hurt when I stooped over and my kidneys didn't act right. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and used two boxes and they rid me of the trouble." FACE BU LIKE FIRE Eruptions On Hands Also. Would Itch.CuticuraHeals. "My trouble began with sore erup tions breaking out on my face and hands. They were hard, large and red and fulj ol corruption. They would itch and burn, and I would sit up all night, and my face would burn like fire. I could not put my hands in water or do my work. "The trouble lasted three years before I used Cuticura. I found re lief in, Jew days, and when I had used two cakes of Soap and two boxes of Ointment I was healed." (Signed) Miss Marie Haag, 133 South B. St., Hamilton, Ohio, Dec 1, 1919. For every purpose of the toilet and bath, Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Talcum are wonderfully good. flanpLEfttnFrMfcrlf.tl. AdrfreM:"Clt!evmL.b. ""'I". Dt. H, fcalai M.," Sold mrr wherp. So.p-.i5c.

Codding of the state penitentiary at Lansing will leave the state service the day the legislature adjourns. That Is the notice which he has served on the state board of administration and Governor Allen. His resignation was announced some time ago. Friction wrth the state board is the cause of Codding's determination to quit prison work.i Recently the state board has refused to accept Coddmgs bulky recommendations for parole. In the last few years Codding has great' ly reduced the prison population thru his asserted plan of bettering man kind. But the state board has refused to display the same broad sentiment expressed by the warden and decreed that a' number of men convicted ftf crime should remain ,in prison at lea. a reasonable time. "The trouble is my recommenda tions don't get anywhere with the board." Codding said. "And the worst of it is the prisoners know it." Warden Codding asserted that the state board sought to "dollar we" the prison rather than make it an insti tution for betterment of humanity. So the prison head will stay with his for mer threat and resign as soon as his successor is appointed. MITCH UNEMPLOYMENT IX STATE. jobs Fpund During Past Week for 264 Laborers In Kansas. Employment was found for 264 un skilled laborers in Kansas last week. The number of applicants totalled 801 as against 762 the previous week. Figures by the state free employ ment bureau show a steady increase in unemployed. In. Wichita 228 ap plications for work were received. Hutchinson received 149 applicants. Parsons 114 and Topeka 102. MAY ROBSON TO TOPEKA

Premier Comedienne to Fill Double Engagement Here. If the encomiums which have pre ceded the incoming of the well known and ever welcome comedienne. May Robson, whom Augustus Pitou. Inc.. will present to Topeka theatergoers in her newest playr "Nobody's Jool," at the Grand two days, Wednesday and Thursday, be any criterion, her many admirers and lovers of good comedy 'have a real treat in store. "Nobody's Fool." unlike any of the charming star's former successes, "Tish," "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary," "A Little Bit Old Fashioned,-" and others, instead of having been dramatized from some wen known bcok or magazine study, is an original comedy in three acts and four scenes, from the prolific pen of that well known dramatic critic, Alan Dale, whose reviews of plays have for many years been taken as a standard, and in the role in which she appears, has a much broader opportunity to exercise that remarkable versatility of which she i3 possessed. It was written ex pressly for her,, Mr. Dale having fin ished the play on orders from Mr. Pitou, so as to have it ready for a spring tryout. It tells a story that is coherent, be ing brimful of bright lines and charm ingly funny situations, and is entirely free of any of the blase or risque lines or situations, so prevalent in many of the socalied comedies recently seen, depending solely on the good whole some wit contained in the script.
