The Evening Newspaper of Kansas UNSETTLED HOME EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1920 EIGHT PAGES FOUR CENTS CHARGE A COMBINE V Union Head Says Building Trust Is Formed Here. To Eliminate Union Men From Bu:Iding Trade. UNIONS IN DEFENSIVE FIGHT War Chest Being Raised To Fight Open Shop. Further Developments Expected at Meeting Tonight. not only are the contractors and master builders of Topeka conspiring together to force an "open shop" which means the elimination of unions and union men from the building trade of Topeka, but there is an actual "building trust" in the city, with Its members fixing prices, according to I. M. Montgomery, secretary of the Euil'iing Trades council. J Organization Is Loose. J "There exists in Topeka a laborers' organization which has been recog nized by tome of the contractors of the city. It is rather loosely organized i and is not supported by the council," Montgomery said. "Some of the con- tractors who recognized and paid its watre scale, have been compelled to drop the scale, on penalty of being fined by their own organization," Montgomery declared. Labor union officials today declared that the imminent open shop war in Topeka i being forced by the contrac tors and the master builders, whose object is to compel an open shop. which will mean the elimination of union men from the building trades of the city. I'p to Master Builders. Tb responsibility for the opening of the fight, which occurred when tradesmen walked out on the con struction of the Jewish synagogue at Fifth and Harrison streets, when non union men employed by Louis Van Dorp, metal worker, were put on the job. is put flatly up to the master builders by P. M. Montgomery, secre tary of the building trades council, which Includes nil the building trades unions of the city, and has a mem ship of some 1.000 mechanics of all tr-vles. Contractors, Montgomery charged, want to force the fight, and ror that reason deliberately chose the, syna gogue Job. on which Georae Senne Is the general contractor, as the opening wedge. Were Looking for Trouble. The contractors knew that there would be a walkout if the nonunion men were put to work, Montgomery said, and they are "looking for trou ble." Montgomery denied that the pre vious walkouts on the Buchanan school and the Trinity church, which happened when men employed in Van Dorp's open shop were put to work, were settled on a technicality and be cause the unions were afraid to bring the matter to a showdown. Strikes Worked Hardship. T can prove that Van Dorp's shop was declared unfair after both' the contracts were let to him, by the min utes of the council meeting," Mont gomery said today. "The settlement in both cases was made because the strikes were working hardships on fair general contractors who were in no way to blame, and not because of any technicality, as was said yesterday." The trade unions are fighting pure ly on the defensive, Montgomery de clared. He asserted that there is a combination of the contractors and master builders which means to put the unions out of business, and that they have chosen 'Senne and Senne's jobs, and Van Dorp and Van Dorp's workmen, as the pretext for the fight, liaise War Chest. But the unions, altho they are on the defensive, are no less in earnest about the fight. A council of defense made up of the executive com mittees of fifty-five unions in Topeka was formed more than a month ago, and a war chest is being raised by vol untary assessment of the membership of every union in the city, to fight the open shop principle to the end. "I don't think that it will come to a general strike," Montgomery de clared today. "I think there will be a settlement before we come to that point." Will Meet Toniplit, There will be developments in the situation tonight when the' Trades Council meets at Labor hall. It would be decided then whether Senne would be declared unfair and the union men working for him would walk out, Montgomery said- The meeting of the council tonight will be a closed ses sion and only union men will be ad mitted, he said. "As far as the man who has been working for Van Dorp for thirty-five years is concerned," sai'l Montgomery, "there is no fight being made on him at all. In fact, he was presented with a complimentary card of membership in the union, and when the rest of the union men were called out of the shop last summer, and Van Dorp was de clared unfair, this man was expressly informed that he didn't have to come out of the shop if he did not want to." To Sec It To Finish. Beth sides are apparently deter mined to see the question thru to a settlement at the present time. Mont gomery asserted that it is not alone the building trades which are inter ested in the fighting. "The Santa Fe shop men are with us," he said. Charge Cashier Took $4,000. Okmulgee.

Prohibition Commissioner Kramer is determined there shall be no tilting of the Vol stead cover on New Year's eve. Federal prohibition officials are prepared to halt any attempt to turn the celebration of the New Year into an orgy of ;mbibat'ion such as used to occur in the days before Volstead, Kramer warned. Even just one kittle sip will constitute a Violation. Approximately 1,400 federal prohi bition agents will be on the alert to morrow night, Kramer said. Further more, they will be assisted by thou sands of police and local officials In all towns and cities if the law is car ried out. "Our agents know that there al ways has been a tendency to celebrate New Year's with quantities of liquor," Kramer said today. "Consequently, they can be depended, upon to take every precaution to see that th law is obeyed. I feel sure that there will be few violations if our agents have their way. No special instructions have 'been sent out from here, but that would be unnecessary. REAL ESTATE MEN ELECT E. W. McNaughton of Hntchinson To Head Kansas Association. E. V. McNaughton of Hutchinson, was elected president of the Kansas Association of Iteal Estate Boards at the meeting at the Chamber of Com merce Wednesday afternoon. The other officers elected were: H. L.

Jaggard, Kanras City, Kan., fifth vice president. The passage of stringent and re strictive licence laws was urged by the members of the board in attendance at the convention, for the protection of- real estate dealers from the un principled dealers. The realtors argued that they were harmed by the manner in which the "fly-by-night" dealers operated their business, selling illegitimately and promlscouslj. The realtors also urged the exemption of real estate mortgages from taxation, claiming that such a measure would bring more money to Kansas and also benefit the states agricultural re sources. A committee on taxation and legis lation was appointed, consisting of Jess. A.- Mansfield, Topeka, chairman; C. B. Hosfield, Lawrence: H. L. Strong, Wichita; and L L. Taylor of Dodge City.

The first cabi net slate has been virtually completed by President-elect Harding, it was learned here today. This tentative slate is understood to stand as follows: Secretary of state Charles E.

New names may have to be sub mitted for those now on the list. Among those in reserve are Charles D. Utiles, New York, and George M. Reynolds, Chicago, for treasurer; Congressman Julius Kahn, California, for war; former Congressman J. J. Ksch, Wisconsin, and James Hampton Moore, Pennsylvania, for commerce; Governor Campbell, Arizona, for in-' terior; Albert J. Beveridge, Indiana, for labor. Most of the first line men under consideration are targets for criticism from one quarter or another and these influences in some instances may cause Harding to change his mind be fore inauguratio'n day. Announce ment of the completed cabinet is not expected before March 4, but the sec retary of state and treasury may "be made known within two Weeks. Harding will discuss the cabinet sit uation at length today with Senator Knox, Pennsylvania, and Harry M. Daugherty. Edward B. McLean, chairman of the inaugural committee, is also due to go over tentative ar rangements for the ceremonies on March 4. Some Reward Appointments. Some of Harding's cabinet selections will be rewards for political service, but others, notably Hughes, Dawes and Hoover, will be included because of their training and ability. Daugherty managed Harding's cam paign for the senate and for the pres idency,, and is the most trusted man in the councils of the president-elect. Hert, national committeeman from Kentucky, swung a big block of dele gates to Harding at a critical moment during the Chicago convention. He also comes from the south and Hard ingis desirous of giving that section a place in his official family. Hays, as national chairman, by tra dition goes into the postoffice. Sutherland represents the west, which is most interested in the affairs of the interior department. Farmers Back Wallace. Wallace is backed by a large farmer following, being an agricultural pub lisher, but his advocacy of the Ken-yon-Kendrick packer regulation bill has aroused the opposition of some interests. J. R. Howard, Iowa, president of the National, Federation of Farm Bu reaus, is being urged on Harding for agriculture, also. Warren, former national commit teeman from Michigan, was influen tial in bringing about the nomination of Harding.

Tou may desire to comnli ment her and that is to be expected. Do sot Say anything you want to about the dress: tell her it's a most becoming color; it is Just the style sheT should wear; tell her it makes her look like a million dollars; ask her WHEN she got it; but by everything that is important and everything that is wise do not say: "WHERE did you get that dress?" If you ask such a question you'll probably get a dark look and the same reply a reporter got when he asked such a question, which was: "How dare you ask me such a ques tion?" They Never Tell. Where. Never, it is probable, will the girl tell the source of the pretty silk dress, if she got it where many pretty girls are supposed to have secured silk dresses in 1920. Foir a possible answer to the ques tion it is suggested that the curious questioner visit the bachelors of the city. It is possible that more than one of Topeka's bachelors is in receipt of a bill for a silk dress. If he cherishes his single blessedness he might tell, under strong coercion, the origin of several sill; dresses in the wardrobes of Topeka-girls. It is more than like ly he won't tell.

Rtckards of Oil City, Pa., was ap pointed today by President Wilson aa chief of the militia bureau of the war Rickards, who Is a Fennsyl. vania national guard officer, and at tached to the infantry reserve officer corps, -will assume his duties tomor row, succeeding Maj. Gen. Jesse M. Carter, who goes to a line command. Colonel Rickards will have the rank of major general and will bo the first national guard officer to hold this po sition. Appointment of a guard offi cer who Is a member of -the reserve corps to this post is provided for in the army reorganization bill. v Gov. Henry J. Allen, when lnformefl that President Wilson had refused to appoint Charles I. Martin, head of th Kansas national guard, to the place of chief of the militia bureau, said: "It is very apparent to me that th president and the war department ig nored the law which provided that the chief of the militia bureau was to be chosen upon the recommendation of the governors of the states. Two thirds of the recommendations sent in by the governors asked that General Martin be appointed and it is verv evident that the intent of the law has been violated." Says Martin Side-Tracked. Governor Allen while attending the governors' conference In Pennsylvania a few weeks ago predicted that the war department would attempt to have General Martin side-traked and an other man appointed to this position. It is generally understood that General Martin came into disfavor with the war department when he was relieved of his command on the eve of the Thirty-fifth division's loins: lnto tha Argonne fighting. i Governor Allen, upon his Inaugura tion, publically asserted that he did noi believe General Martin had been given a square deal and In his Inaug ural address said that In recognition of General Martin's service and a. an indication of what he thought of Martin he would appoint him adjutant general of the Kansas national guard.

Maurice McAuliffe, president of the Farmers' union. Is certain of that. But he would safeguard the state against Nonpartisan League invasion thru legislative enactments. In Topeka today to attend the meet ing of the executive committee of the! agricultural council, McAuliffe ex- ploded on the theory that the Town ley crowd would be able to dictate po litical policies in this state. McAuliffe) has his finger on the pulse of the Kan. sas farmers. He knows their im pulses and convictions. Their sound second judgment, he believes, will save t:.o rural districts against a Nonpai'ti. san League uprising. Sees Danger in Kansas, Just the same the Salina man see real danger In the league's propaganda cai.ipalgn at this time. Recent slumps in prices and unfavorable marketing; conditions have tended to arouse the old rural pessimism, he believes, altho results of the Townlcy wave in other states will act as a safeguard to Kan sas In future policies. "Farmers are more susceptible tit Townley influences right now than In. many years." McAuliffe said today. "Tet I do not believe the Nonpartisan league can secure a genuine foothold in this state especially not sufficient to give them political control. In the first place the farmers are beginning to realize that the league merely take, their money and gives nothing in re turn. Predicts Better Prices. "I believe the farmers have hit bot tom on low prices and that there will be a steady advance in price of farm products. However, the legislature should take some action to safeguard against the adroit propaganda of the Nonpartisan league in Kansas. I hope a law may be passed which will bar them from the state." Many farmers and stockmen are here today for the agricultural council meeting. Recommendation, regarding farm laws will be discussed during the session and it Is probable a committee will be named to present the farmer stockmen program to Governor Allen. The agricult jral council represents the allied agricultural, horticultural aod livestock interests of the state. Fs mubt order Coffeyville Mayor Resigns IV fore Ousting; Decree Can Be Served.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY' EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1920 f GOES THREE WAYS French Socialist Party Hope lessly Divided Now. Only Radicals Determined To Adhere To Internationale. DEBATDRS COME TO BLOWS .Moderates Declare They Are the Only True Socialists. .Many Xow Even Jtefuse to As sociate With Lnineists. Tours. Dec. 30. The right wing of the socialists today declared itself to be the socialist party of France. Its members have control of a consider able part of the party funds and also of the newspaper Humanite. Efforts of members of the French socialist party to present a united front relative to the adhesion of the organization to the Third Internation ale of Moscow have been unavailing and it appeared today that party had lo'n split Into three factions. There were the left wing, which has voted to obey explicitly the commands of Nikolai Lenine, Russian Bolshe viki premier; the Centrists, who favor adhering to the Moscow internation ale but who urge reservations to the terms imposed, and the right wing, which has opposed throwing the or ganisation completely -Into the hands of the communists. Meeting Is Stormy. La a: night's session of the socialist emiKress which is meeting here de veloped Into a wild and stormy sitting. Cr. S. Zinovieff. Bolshevik governor of Moscow, had sent a message to the Congress demanding in the name of the Moscow executive committee that the Centrist Lhould be branded the "determined agents of bourgeolse In fluence and elements with which the Third Internationale can have nothing in common," and expelled from the party.

It was agreed here this morning that there was no possibility of the right wings having anything more to do with the section which voted for un reserved adhesion to the Internation ale but the Centrists appeared to be divided among themselves.

Haskin, Director. Wsshing-e-, r. C. In its decision in the mill case re cently, the Kansas court of industrial relations declared that faithful an'! skilled workers must be taken care of by industrial plants which arc forced to make retrenchments in meeting business conditions. The principle involved in such a ruling can hardly fail to meet general approval, even that of the employers, but its application may involve unlocked for difficulties. Strictly applied the rule might easily work a hardship on the employer even to the extent of forc ing him to close down his plant or to quit business. In the latter case the pay roll would cease to exist. Em ployers may recognize the justice, and fairness of the ruling, while ordinary conditions prevail, hut if the burden tecome too great, they might be ex pected to appeal to a higher court, with the possible result that the Kan sas court might be overruled on the ground that its action is confiscatory. The regulation of business by law Is one of the hardest tasks the legisla tors or the courts find to perform. Another amendment to the federal Constitution has been proposed in con gress. It provides that no more non taxable securities shall be issued by the nation, the states or municipaji tics About all that would be accom plished by such an amendment would be an rhcrease in interest rates on such paper and a shifting of taxes from one class of property to another. Taxes should he levied on what people have or s 11 rather than on what they owe. Despite the big increase in railroad freight and passenger rates the roads it is said are falling short of collecting the 6 per cent on their investment guaranteed by the transportation act.' Another advance in rates is suggested, not, however, by the railroads. Before rates shall be placed higher the gov ernment might try making existing rates collectible In the seventeen states which still are holding out against the orders of' the interstate commerce commission. Besides this, the situation -misht be improved if Undo Sam would pay the railroads what he owes them. The improve ments which they could make with this money miyht enable them to jiiakc a better showing in the matter of net earnings. The Edison and the Ford plants have suspended operations. Does this mean that the public is buying, fewer phonographs and motor cars? President Wilson is reported to hold that no literary article which' might be produced is worth $150,000. The majority of the people will be inclined to agree with him. Japan is reported to have with drawn opposition to the California anti-Japanese land 'law.

The former federal director general may not know how to run railroads but ho knows how to let them go. The movement to abolish the excess profits and surtaxes, and substitute a tax on turnover is gaining widespread approbation thruout the country and also in the ranks of the ways and means committee, which Is holding hearings on the subject, in Washing ton. The president of a large dry goods company in the west, is quoted as saying that the one per cent tax on sales Is the best idea thus far ad ranced. It Is simple, practical, equit ble. he holds, and will furnish the Kovernment with easily five billion iollara and no one will feel it; In fact, -he consumer will practically pay very ittle of it 1 1 the final analysis because ;he seller will absorb fully 60 per cent of It. "'I base my conclusion," he says, "especially on our own line of business. If we sold an item at 15.00, we surely would not mark it $5.05 because of the tax. I believe, too, that the consumer will pay a, much smaller proportion of the tax under this sys tem of taxation than under the excess profits taxes. If the sales tax will gather the amount required by the government. I also favor a plan of having; no Income tax on incomes of 15,000 and under." The Woman He Married BY JANE PHELPS TOO GOOD A DINNER. CHAPTER 18. "I'd like to go to a show or some thing tonight," I said when we had finished dinner. I was still so excit edly happy, felt so free compared to the way I had felt for so long? that I Just couldn't srf quietly at home. "But, Nan, I tiate to refuse to go out but after such a good dinner, don't you think we should econo mise?" h5 said it lightly, yet I knew he meant it. "We'll go to a cheap movie. I Just can't stay in!" and before he could ob ect further I had called Mrs. Dooly on the telephone, and she had prom ised to come and stay with Junior so we could go to the second show. I had put the receipted bills in the bureau drawer under the paper, and when I went for my gloves, I couldn't resist Just touching them. I had hated them so, and now they were paid! After we got home Dick, astonished me by saying: "Nan, I must have some clothes this month. This cheap suit hasn't kept its shape, and I overheard one of the men in the office commenting on my looks. I can't afford that." "That was the reason you thought the dinner too extravagant," I replied. "It was awfully good but it was ex travagant for us." "How I hate that word! Extrava gant! Economy! They should both be stricken from the dictionary." "Hear, hear! My. what a little fire brand you are at times. Nan." "Well, what about your clothes? Why don't you go to a good tailor and have some made? You need shoes, too, and your shirts are- wearing out. I wish you would wear silk shirts like Mr. Stowell, they are so smart." "I would like to. Nan. But if I indulged myself, where in the world would you and Junior come in?" "Are you going to be sensible and get what you need?" I asked. "Yes, I did order some clothes to day. I hated to ask for credit, but I had to." "Thank goodness you are becoming sensible at last!" I really was thank ful, glad, that he had run in debt. If he ever knew about my charging the things on Clara's account he couldn't find fault with me because he was practically doing the same thing. So I urged him further: "Get some shoes. I need a rair, and we will have them both charged. Then a little later we will save and pay for them. But we car.'t go on looking like tramps. Just because people who are profiteering and making millions, make it cost all you can earn for food and rent. "T ffiLM vntt are rierht. Nan. Any way, I must have some clothes and it seems the only way to get them." He sighed heavily. 1 remembered what Clara had said, and repeated it: "Don't look as it you were com mitting a crime! Pay when you can, and let the other fellow walk the floor." "All right. Nan! I guess l ii nave to." Continual dropping will wear away a otr.no Bo oont nuea urging to wrong doing by a loved one often is the be ginning of a ruined career. Saturday came and I worked hard all day to get up my supper for the eveninar. and nut the place in order. I had made chicken salad, with wonder ful mayonnaise made after motner s recipe, for which she was famous. I had cheese straws, tin- Parker House rolls, some preserved peaches I had also used mother's recipe for those a delicious chocolate cake, and coffee. We had a very pleasant evening. Both Hick and Mr. Stowell declared we must learn to play a better, a more conventional game If we, expected to play with them often. Mildred she had Insisted I call her that nudged me under the table. We had made all arrangements and were to commence our bridi;e lessons on Monday. Mr. Stowell, as well as Mildred, com plimented me highly on my supper. "I don t know when anything evar tasted so good." he declared as he took his fourth roll, apologizing as he did so. "Nan is a famous little cook and housekeeper," Dick said proudly. "Indeed she is! Mildred seconded. 'I couldn't do half the things she does no matter how hard I tried." "Have you ever tried?" Mr. Stowell's voice was rather sarcastic- as he asked the question. (Tomorrow Nan plans to get the apartment.) Questions Answers Q.

BY KATE EDMONDS. "A squall!" cried Dorothy as the little launch headed for home. Nan glanced over her shoulder at the yellow-brown clouds rapidly ob scuring the sun. "We cannot reach the Point," she declared. "We must matte for the nearest island." "Is there any danger?" asked timid Dorothy who had been insistent about remaining outside the breakwater. "I think not." panted Kan, for her heart was throbbing; fast. She was a little fearful of making the nearest Island before the storm burst and lit tle Petrel island was a dangerous place to land. Many a small boat had gone down off the cruel rocks. When they were r within a boat's length of the beach the wind broke loose with a scream of fury. A long wave rushed the boat upon the beach and left it there in the soft sand. The salt spray stung their lips -and eyes. Somehow they stumbled out of the boat and were thankful to feel solid ground under foot. Nancy tied the boat to a tree, for the tide was rush ing in and they might lose it any mo ment. "It is so exposed here on the wind ward side, let us walk around to the east beach; it will be warmer and drier there." The wind snatched the words from her lip and tossed them away. The two girls screamed at eacn other and then laughed because not a word could be heard. At last tney resorieu to signs, and having found a substitute for speech, they started to walk around the shore, Just above the high water mark. Here were long stretchet of dried seaweed, tangled with tiny shells, and Nan scooped tip several armfuls and bade Dorothy do the same. "If we have to stay here all night it will make a good bed." she informed her companion. It was the.i that Dorothy found the footprint in the sand and pointed it out to Nan. Both girls turned pale, for the footprint was freshly made a gen erous shoe had made it there was the print of a heel and a rubber sole. It was pointed in the direction they were froing. "Shall we keep on?" pantomimed Dorothy. Nan shook her h?ad and motioned hack. They retreated and went back to- the boat, and finding the tide was still rising, they entered the grove of trees. "It is qniet here," shrieked Dorothy, sinking down on the dry sand. Nan followed suit and then. im- patient of inaction she Jumped up again and explored the grove. In five minutes she was standing on the east beach and the footprint in the sand was explained. Nan glared resentfully at the young man in white duck who was broiling bacon over a small fire in a scooped out sand hole. He looked at her in mild surprise. "We have with us today." he began, but Nan only smiled scornfully and turned away. "Ninny," she said Im politely, and one must admit that this was not quite the proper way for two strangers to open conversation. "I was going to ask you why you In truded," he observed. "This is the Island of Robinson Crusoe and the island was nonsuffraglst, you will re member!" "Fancy?" drawjed Nan, Just because he bated the word. Ah, she knew this young man well. She had been en gaged to marry him up to 2 o'clock this very afternoon. It was now 6 and the bacon smelt divinely. Dorothy had de tected the odor of bacon and now came running into the scene'1. For once, she was stricken dumb be fore the' vision of the island inhabi tant. She looked from one to the other and her lips curved Into a little smile. She was hungTy! If Nan wanted to quarrel with the nicest man at Coral Point, very well! Dorothy Wellwood must eat, and to eat one must make friendly advances even to an enemy. The wretch had corn bread, too! And coffee it was too much. "Good afternoon, Mr. Crusoe she began. "Name's Friday." rotested the gen tleman impaling strips of bacon on a neatly trimmed twig-. "Starved?" Dorothy nodded. "Please, Mr. Fri day." Then, when he had made her a ba n sandwich, she took a huge bite and went over to tie enemy, sitting aown in tne sana and conversing with him in the most friendly way imag inable, j "Ship- eeked?" he asked. Dorothy told their story, calling upon jan to verny tne tacts, but Nan sat at a distance her face turned stonily away, her hart sore and re sentful. She was watching the waves as tney pounded on the rocks below. She wondered if he would care if she was lying dead there among the sea- weea. She was feeling verv sad tomorrow they were leaving Coral Point and sne mignt never see him again.-. He had a teasing way with him that irked her now, only a few hours after the quarrel, she was missing him. What Bad tney quarreler about? Such a trifle she was shocked that she had almcst forgotten the cause. He was coming now, with Dorothy, she could hear their voices in friendly argu ment. "If I loved any one well enough to become engaged well enough to plan to spend the rest of my life with him or her." declared wise young Dorothy, "and remember it would have to be a great and glorious love (or I wouldn't love at all), then, it would have to be some huge differ ence that would separate us! If he wanted to wear red neckties, even and I loathe them I would say I love the "man and I can learn to endure red neckties because i loved him so much and he would feel the same way about trifles and I must see about the boat!" and Dorothy fled around the beach, leaving Nan and the Man Friday alone together. She got up and stood uncertainly, tears were brimming her eyes, and she could hear his beloved footsteps com ing nearer. She must be first to make amends. She was in the wrong. "Mr. Friday." she called in a quav ering voice. VI am sorry!" What Mr. Friday said was intended for Nan's ear alone, but I am sure It had nothing to do with red neck ties. Young Dorothy coming suddenlv upon them, dashed back out of sight and when she had subdued her gig gles, announced her coming by a brisk "Ship ahoy hotel launch in the off ing!" and scampered away. Jim Treadway smiled tenderly down at Nan. "The blessed angel." he mut tered, unaware that the arfrel in ques tion was eating up the bacon and corn bread.

A girl asks me what is the best age for a woman to marry. As nearly as the matter can be re duced to figures, I should say between the time she is 23 and 28 years old. These years represent the hey-day of her youth, of her romance and senti ment, yet they are tempered by Judg ment and common sense, and during them ahe is most apt to choose the right man for a husband, and to be, herself, most fitted for wifehood. At that age she is equally removed from the two dangerous matrimonial zones, for she has passed the time when any youth with slick back hair, and who shook a wicaed foot in the dance has all the requisite qualities a girl asks for in a life partner. And she has not yet come to the old maid's estate where She prays "AnyBody, good Lord, anybody." Therefore, she uses both head and heart in selecting her mate.' Moreover, having sown, her feminine wild oats, she is ready to set tle down to the serious business of matrimony which is making a happy home, and rearing a family. Personally. I am unalterably op posed to early marriages, especially the early marriage of girls. It is a disgrace to civilization that a girl who would not be permitted to use her own Judgment in picking out a frock, or investing a thousand dollars in money, is supposed to have enough in telligence to select a husband and is permitted by her family and the law to risk her whole life's hannln school girl's fancy. But if early marriages are foolhardv experiments, late marriages are also dangerous, because as we grow older we harden into the mold In whieh en vironment has poured us. until it be comes practically impossible for us to change. The woman who marries after she is past thirty, finds it a diffi cult task to adjust herself to the mat rimonial state. Her individual latch key and pocketbook are more com fort, to her than any mere man can ever be, and she loves her own ways more than she can any husband. But from twenty-three to twenty eight a woman -is still young enough, and pliable enough, to grow into whatever shape -her husband's hands choose to fashion her. She can still change to meet his views, and adopt wajs ana naDits. bne is at emo tional high tide, and her love is not the puling sentiment of an immature school girl, -but the great passion of a mature woman who loves with heart and brain, and whose affection is steadfast as long as life itself. Furthermore, the woman who mar ries between twenty-three and twenty eight makes marriage a success be cause she does not look upon it as a picnic as does the young girl, nor as a prison house as does the older wo man who has sacrificed her freedom to it, but as a place that a man and woman working together can make a paraaise on earth. Therefore, girls' remember that be tween the twenty-third and twenty- viKuui year or your age is tne auspi cious time in which to marry. (Copyright, 1820. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.!

ADELAIDE MAKES A LAMPSHADE. A Domestic Tragedy in Three Acts. SCENE .A living room. TIME-T-September, October, No vember, 1920. CHARACTERS Adelaide, Vs. ACT 1 Adelaide (choking back tears) -They've ruined my beautiful lamp shade. 4 i Us Who are they? Adelaide The men. Us What men? Adelaide; I don't know; whoever packed our stuff, or unpacked it. Us -Well, we're pretty lucky at that. They didn't ruin more than half ot the furniture and one of the dining room chairs hasn't a scratch on it, I looked it over carefully. And I had enough m5ney to pay the men for moving it; I didn't have to sell my liberty bond. I was sure I'd have to sell that bond. I think we're well off. Adelaide You'll sell it, all right The first person who offers you some thing on the installment plan will get it. It doesn't make any difference what it is. Us I don't know: I think I've done pretty well with that bond. I've had it since 1917 and I paid pash for it when I got it. That's more than a lot of them did. Adelaide Now I can't go to Louise's wedding. Us Why can't you go to Louise's wedding? I'm a pretty smart fellow. but I am frank to say the connection eludes me. Adelaide I've got to stay at home and make a lampshade. Us I'd like to see the lampshade that would keep me at home. Adelaide-: So should I; I'd like to see anything that would keep you at home. The only way to keep you at home is to quarantine you. Us Seriously, tho. I shouldn't try to make a lampshade if I were you. Why not buy a lampshade? Here's my liberty bond; that's enough to pay the first installment on one, isn't it? Adelaide I can save at least 150 by making it myself. Adelaide What good would it do? Us Yes, what good would it do? Us Yes, what good woul it do? You've been saving money for us ever since we were married $25 here and $50 there. Sometimes you've saved as high as $100, and we haven't got anything yet. I could have had the fun of spending all you've saved and wed be Just as well off. Adelaide You're a good spender; I'll say that for you. You can come nearer imitating a millionaire on 10U than any other man I ever knew. But one thing is certain: you never spent any money on me. I never even had an engagement ring. Us I wanted you to feel free: I didn't want you to feel as tho you were in bondage to me. ACT II Us How come I have no clean linen? Didn't the laundry wagon call Adelaide I sent your laundry three weeks ago, but you know I've been downtown working on my lampshade every day for the last two weeks, and I suppose the delivery wagon called in my absence and found nobody home.- You look awfully funny in that collar. You know you can't wear a batwing collar; no man with a prominent Adam's apple can. Us Go ahead and laugh your head off. The reason I am wearing this collar is because it's the only clean one I have.' It's all right probably to wear a soiled shirt, but you practically have to have a clean collar. It is pos sible for a man to be shaved in a bar ber shop and still be a gentleman. I've proved that. But no gentleman wears a soiled collar. Adelaide. I'm sorry, but you know I can't neglect my lampshade to wait for a laundry wagon. Us Another thing. I ordered a shipment of cigars weeks ago. I got the bill for them ten days ago, but they've never been delivered. I sup pose the fellow took them hack be cause there was no one to receipt for them. Adelaide Very likely, hut you know I can't sit here waiting for cigars. As it is. -I was late yesterday morning; I didn't get to the store till 9:30 o'clock. Us Ycru talk about saving money. Do you know that every time I buy a cigar downtown I practically throw three certs away? Do you know, on account of me buying my cigars from my brother-in-law, who is in the busi ness, that I save $3 on every 100 cigars I smoke? Adelaide The idea of your saving money is a very interesting -one, I'm sure. It's the first time I ever knew you to go in for that sort of thing. You smoke a good many cigars. Where is the money you saved buying them from your brother-in-law? Us How are you getting along with your lampshade? Is it pretty nearly finished Adelaides I'm getting along fine. I think 't is going to be perfectly lovely. But I haven t started it yet. Us You haven't started it yet? Adelaide No, you see we have to wait until -the woman who shows us how to make them gets ready to do it. We have to take our turns. She has a good many customers, and she hasn't got to me yet. I've met some per fectly lovely people. Us When (Jo you think she'll get to you Adelaide I think she'll get to hie next week. There are only fifteen or twenty ahead of me now. Us After she geta to you all you'll have to do will be to learn how and make it. Adelaide That's all. ACT III. Us (as Adelaide comes in out of the gloom of late evening) Has the lady got to you yet? Adelaide Oh, yes; she showed me how to wrap the frame yesterday. I am going to work tonight and finish that part of it. Us When do you expect to see her again? Adelaide I don't know, but I im agine some time soon. I'd get along faster, but I have to go to my bridge club Saturday and the store will be closed Thanksgiving and I won't be able to do anything that day. If it were not for getting the meals and keeping house I could finish it in an other week. Us It is a shame that a woman should be balked in her ambition by the necessity of doing a little house keeping for her husband. I've just had six of the most comfortable weeks I've spent since I quit living in "Ma" LivengOod's boarding house. Adelaide; Everybody savs you're greatly improved since your marriage. They say yon have better manners and that you do not wear such fantastic clothes. Yon remember how thin you were? I used to pity you. Us Well, you'll have to adtoiit that despite my anemic appearance I made a game race of it. Adelaide How could I have chased you; I was in Ohio; you were in Kan- sas. If you were trying so hard to get away why did you come to see me? Us If you have that $50 you saved making a lampshade handy I could use it. The rent will be due tomor row. Adelaide I don't-suppose I can go home Christmas. Us Why can't you go home Christ mas? Adelaide I don't believe I'll get the lampshade done In time. (Topeka editorial note They were home for Christmas in fact, they are still here, so the lampshade must be done.) Y. M. C. A. IS REORGANIZED Colored Association Will Open Quar ters Jicw Year's Day.

SUckera Would Reach IVom Argentine to Dodge City Twenty-Two Million Used. Kansans used 22.060, 000 Christmas seals the little Healthy New Year stamps from headquarters of the State Tuberculosis association in Topeka. Had it been possible to have made the stickers in one big roll, they would have covered the rails of the Santa Fe railroad from Argentine to a. point west of Dodge City. Loyalty of Kansans to the health cause was shown in every mail. Many men and women who were unable to use all of their Christmas seals re turned s portion of them but always remembered to send a remittance for the entire number. Some of these stamps were used several times. On the other hand many people laid their seals aside in the rush of Christmas shopping and money from these neg lects will continue to ceme to state headquarters during the year. Scores received during the drive a year ago. A total of 157,000 form letters went from the. state headquarters during the drive.

MclflNLEY'S TROUBLE :GAN 20 YEARS AGO vV ell Known Auctioneer Fell Off from 227 Pounds to 130 Tanlac Restores Health Now Weighs 195 Pounds. 'I'm eoingr to tell it all just like It happened and if anybody doubts it, just l?t them come to see me," said Samuel McKinley in relating his re markable experience with Tanlac at the, Owl Drug Store in Kansas City, Mo., the other day. Mr. McKinley has been a jewelry auctioneer for the past thirty years, and is known In a great many estab lishments thruout the West as an ex pert In his line. He resides at 2504 Hast 22nd St., Kansas City, Mo. "Twenty years ago," he explained, "my stomach went wrong and I be gan suffering from what was pro nounced gastritis. At that time I bal anced the scales at two hundred and twenty-seven pounds and hardly knew my strength. My troubles pulled me down to one hundred and thirty pound?, making a loss of ninety-seven p'fcunds, and you may know by this that there was something radically wrong with me. I was only a skeleton Of what I had been. "I had headaches and dizzy spells. and would bloat so badly after eating I could harflly get my breath. I often thought I would surely die and felt that death would have been preferable to such awful misery. I had awful pains in the small of my back and thru my chest, was habitually consti pated, and for two years had to give up all idea of business. "Corn bread and poached eggs was mainly what I lived on for two years, and I had almost given up in despair. As I had tried everything in the way of treatment and medicines for fifteen years, only to keep going down hill, I couldn't see how Tanlac could help me. "But I got the Tanlac any way and after taking two or three bottles, I be gan to improve. First my appetite picked up and I began to sleep better at night. I had not had a night's sound sleep in two years. This en couraged me to stick, to Tanlac and now I consider the day I began tak ing it the most fortunate day of my life. I now tip the scales at one hun dred and sixty-five pounds have re gained sixty-five pounds of my lost weight and am a well man, able to attend to business the same as if I had never been sick a day. I eat Just any thing I want, sleep like a log, and never felt better in my life. After getting such wonderful results myself. I could not do otherwise than praise Tanlac."

American cham pion defeated. Norman E. Brookes. 10-8. 6-4. 1-6 and 6-. but he had some difficulty in doing it. William M. Johnston, rormer cnam pion. had an easy time disposing of Gerald L. Patterson in straight sets at 6-3. 6-1 and 6-1. The volleying and accuracy of Brookes' service was a feature of the first match. The court was a bit slow but solid. When Tilden got his game started he forced Brookes back by deep side line drives. The terrific pace of the first two sets seemed to tire Brookes at the start of the third set but he gathered himself and by a supreme effort which brought out the most brilliant tennis he won the set. After a temporary lapse from form Tilden came back and literally smashed his way thru to victory. Johnston had an easy victory over Patterson in a match that lasted only an hour. Johnston drove with ter rific speed and accuracy and he took every advantage of Patterson's weak backhand and his erratic service. GET KESCLTS BY RADIO.

Also the famous beauty, "Dolores," the -world's shapeliest woman. A feature brimming with suspense and heart interest. THIS IS THE PICTURE THAT BROKE ALL RECORDS AT THE SHUBERT THEATER, KANSAS CITY BY A. L. SHULTZ. Governor Allen's message seems to have suddenly undergone a revision. Persons who somehow get the grape vine dope from state departments have a feeling that the message which the governor prepared ten days ago is not the message which will be read in To- peka January 11. There is also an im pression that some of the vital fea tures in the Kovernor's program is be ing given a rather thoro combing and may meet decided alterations before the legislature reany gets unaer way. Jast weeK proot sneets oi me ten tative draft of the governor's message were printed. Then before leaving for his home in Wichita, the governor said he would spend his Christmas on the legislative recommendations. Confer ences in Topeka this week regarding proposed laws may result in runner changes. Governor Changes Views. There is a feeling In state political circles that the governor is changing some of his views regarding the indus trial court law. Kecently he an nounced that he would urge the legis lature to recreate the public utilities commission. He proposed consolida tion of a number of departments and boards and commissions and grouping of these interests under 1 the present industrial court and the new commission. Three) New Fat Jobs. This change would give to the gov ernor three new fat Jobs. It weuid afford the patronage which is decided ly lacking in state administration cir cles at this time. The plan would also permit, the governor to break up the personnel ui uie present juuusuiai court a purpose which seems close to the governor s heart. Now there seems to be a possibility that the plan has run amuck or been decidedly altered. The proposal to provide one tribunal with, rate mak ing powers and another court with authority to fix wages, did not meet with exactly unanimous approval. This disapproval was particularly evident among persons who realu--that double expense would be incuvn bent on the state in presenting prac tically the same evidence to separate tribunals. Further danger that both bodies might be hopelessly tied up In litigation has been pointed out. In addition to these troubles some -new- opposition to the industrial xrcrurt- it self has developed. This may have created a willingness to abandon some of the demands in the original pro-. posal. t Other Changes Poesihle, Changes in the governor's message beyond features affecting the indus trial court act are also probable. The fact that the allied organizations of farmers and stockmen will send a program to the governor may cause further changes. Some changes In highway proposals may also be asked as result of a conference here today in which Governor Allen himself Is participating. 1 Maybe the amended message is a re sult of advance dope, on the legisla ture regarding its attitude toward -the governor's previous policies. Maybe it resulted from efforts of organiza tions affected by proposed provisions of measures to be recommended dur ing the coming session. In any event the main interest in state political circles today is the new "slants" which the governor will take in his law mak ing program. There is a deep convic tion among political, observers that one of the most vital changes affects the governor's attitude toward bis in dustrial court. Just the extent to which he will change this plan may not be known until the message is read nearly two weeks hence and the detailed plan may be kept under cover until the administration bill reaches the reading clerk's desk. PRAISE SICKXER'S WORK. Emporia Chamber of Commerce Com mands Topeka Secretary. G. C.
