BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT Each Has Won Two Victories in Preliminaries. Turmoil in the Kansas Political "Peacock Alley." ITouse members cleared the decks shortly before noon today and pre? pared to start the big fight of the ses sion this afternoon when the industrial court bills were to be called up. The house took up the road bill Im mediately after the session convened this afternoon. The discussion on this bill was scheduled to be quite lengthy and was still under discussion at 3 o'clock. Administration forces are rarin' to go. Leader McDermott declared he was confident the divorce measure would go thru the house. Opposition managers were equally certain they would block passage of Gov. Allen's pet bill. The fight will be staged in com mittee of the whole. Unless the ad ministration can send the bill out of the committee with a constitutional majority, tho, the opposition may still block the bill on final passage. News that the court fight was com ing in the house spread rapidly during the noon hour. When the session opened at 2:30 o'clock there was a large attendance in the visitors' gal leries and in the lobbies. By 3 o'clock the crowd had increased and it looked as tho the show was to be staged be fore a full house. Many senators came over for the battle. The senate is withholding: In order to await house decision. In event the court bill fails in the house at this time, the administration still has a high card in reserve. The governor's friend will then seek pas sage of the bill in the senate. If the administration program goes thru the upper house, it will then come back to the house for a second test. No Time Limit Set. There is no time limit on the house show. The dominant demand of the administration may be disposed of in a- half day. It may occupy attention of the members for two or three days. Most members are of the opinion, tho, that a test on recommending the bill for final passage will be reached some time Thursday. Refusal of the house to hear court judges is accepted as an indication that the members want to do their own talking. Some of the members want to make the speeches short, too. But tsvery motion" and every amend ment gives a member an opportunity to make a speech. There are certain to be enough amendments proposed to open all the floodgates of debate, lawyers in Peacock Alley. Most of the house lawyers arq lo-f-ated on or near the center aisle. It is the peacock alley of house oratory, it is in this aisle that the administra tion will fight and bleed and live or die. Most of the unschooled in the art of catch as catch can talking the farmers, the merchants and the bank vrs are in the flanking aisles. They are the Jurors who will bring in the verdict when the turmoil ends and peace and quiet is restored. Both 'des have won blood in the preliminary skirmishes. Each scored twice. Administration leaders were unable to stop the Stanley motion ask ing for more information from the court. The Lambertson motion to call the court judges before the house went thru with every Allen supporter fight ing with his back to the wall. Then the administration shifted its line of attack, blocked the visit of the judges and stopped a move to open a talk fest in the state affairs committee by voting down a motion to rerefer the bills. This afternoon the fight opened with scores even and both sides con fident. Tct for Administration. This afternoon's fight is the real acid test for the administration. Four bills embodying the governor's pro gram to divorce the public utilities work from the industrial court and to place new work under the court and commission are on the calendar. Thev cover the policy defined by Governor Allen in his inaugural speech and in his regular and special messages to the legislature. In the action today it is clearly ap parent that both sides are willing tn make the house the battlefield for the session. Nearly half of the hnnu membership is new and untried in leg islative eApei R-nce ana tne liner plays nmv ui parliamentary procedure. Both sides will try to win this new vote in their oratorical attacks. Night Meeting Effects. Observers will watch closely for ef- xects or tuesaay nigtits farmer meet in; in the industrial court. At that time Judge Huggins, presiding judge of the court, told forty members that the court was not burdened with too much work but with too much politics It is certain that the house show will be anything except a kid glove, pink tea party affair. Charges have already been made on the floor that house members have already been hypnotized by the dangling $5,000 jobs. On the other hand. Governor Allen himself will be made an issue in the battle. His friends charge that the fight is inspired by an effort to embarrass him In the successful carrying out of his program. McDermott will direct the floor fight for the administration. w. P. Lambertson, of Brown county, will probably be in charge of the opposition on the floor. flivver Flived; He Uses Dynamite Hazelhurst, Miss.. Feb. 2. Becom ing discouraged with his efforts to tow an empty car of a popular make be hind his more pretentious touring car, Kd Myers of Crystal, Springs placed seven sticks of dynamite under the 'flivver" and touched them off near here today.

Pittsburg, Kan.. Feb. 2. A big hedge tree near the home of Robert Westray of McCormick coal camp, north of Pittsburg, looked innocent enough yesterday when Sheriff Milt Gould led a raiding party to the West ray place. But a closer Investigation than an ordinary look revealed a piece of wood plugged into a hole in the tree and the interested officers' curiosity led them to pull out the plug. There was disclosed a tube. Following the tube, the officers found that it ran down ward thru the tree trunk and came out of the tree in the ground on the opposite side. A few feet further it made connec tion with an eight-gallon cask of moonshine whisky. The fluid was be ing pumped out thru the tree when a customer appeared. Sheriff Gould said. Pres.

Buenos Aires, Feb. 2. Arg-entina has taken its first step in .reprisal against the proposed American re strictive tariff bill. At the same time, its proponent. Deputy Saccone. forecast what may be in effect a world-wide -tariff war. Saccone's measure, .which could le introduced immediately upon reopen ing of the Argentine congress May 1, should the Fordney tariff bill be passed in the United States, provides lor a 40 per 'cent tariff on importation of goods from all countries which have increased or created import duties on Argentine products. "In view of the new American tariff bill, which is prohibitive, and because of the prospects of similar tariff measures being enaeted in other coun tries, particularly Europe, we are obliged to present' this measure in or der to defend our international ex change and foreign trade," Saccone said in an interview today. Ban on Gold Too. Saccone cited the restriction In American credits and demand for pay ment of the $50,000,000 loan to Ar gentina under the' most unfavorable exchange. He emphasized that this, coupled with the prohibition upon ex port of gold from Argentina, makes export of goods the sole possibility for eqtializing the economic situation. "If it is impossible to export goods, importation from the United States must be restricted to enable us to es tablish a balance," the deputy de clared. Shortly after introduction of the pFordney bill, Deland S. Summers, en gineer and rormer cnairman 01 tne European division of the war indus tries board, and Prof. Edwin R. A. Seligman, dean of the economics de partment of Columbia university, fore cast the action- threatened by Argen tina. They also looked for a general "tariff war."

One Greek, letter pledge was as signed to do traffic duty at the Seven teenth street and College avenue in tersection. Armed with a shovel and a whistle the student was told to guide motor cars and other vehicles. With the unfortunate "pledge" was "Shrap", the fraternity's pet bull terrier- A taxicab came storming up tne street at about '11:30 o'clock this morning. "Shrap," in an effort to aid his master, ran out in the street. The taxi struck and killed the dog. The terrier was a favorite on the Washburn campus. He was a regular spectator at all athletic contests and was a frequent visitor at the sorority houses, where he had developed a sweet tooth thru the gifts of the Greek sisters. Shrap's funeral will he held tomor row at the Kappa Sigma house. Dr. T. W. Hughes, of the law school, will officiate. After the services at tne house the remains will be lowered to rest in a grave under the pergola, back of the house, with all the solemnity occasioned by the passing of this dis tinguished citizen. GERMANY LAUGHS Reichstag Jeered in Derision When Allied Terms Bead. Entente Now Faces Absolute Refusal of Demands. Paris, Feb. 2. Germany today was laughing in the faces of the allies, laughing in derision at the demand for an indemnity of $55,000,000,000. The allies were faced with the possi bility of a flat refusal to pay the huge that event, seizure of German ports and forcible collection of cus toms was contemplated. This, it was admitted, might lead to armed clashes. Declare Retchajtag Langhed. -Dispatches from Berlin, which were eagerly scanned at the foreign office here, said that derisive laughter swept the reichstag when Foreign Minister von Simons addressed that body and made known the nature of .the allies' demands. Von Simons made it pretty clear that Germany will reply that she cannot pay any such sums. The next move on the part of Ger many probably will be reorganization of the cabinet to demonstrate to the allies that all parties -are united in their attitude against paying the big indemnity. Conference is Postponed. According to information in official circles here, the Germans expect the moral support of America in this stand and are much interested in the re ported intention of Senator France to introduce a resolution limiting the indemnity to what they regard "a rea sonable figure." The Germans also are taking com fort from the statements of economists in all the allied nations to the effect that she cannot afford to pay $55,000, 000,000.' France is Prepared. France, according to officials, would like to occupy German ports, place garrisons in Important German cities and enforce payments, but it is hardly believed likely that Britain would sup port such a move. It was learned today that the eco nomic conference of German and. al lied experts, scheduled for February 1 1. in Brussels, for discussion of rep arations, had been postponed. A QUIET SESSION Twenty Jfew Bills Offered in the House Today. Six Measures Passed on Third T. Beading. House members spent a quiet, or derly morning in anticipation of the fire of oratory which was to descend this afternoon in the industrial court fight. Introduction of twenty hew bills, passage of a halt dozen original measures and completion of the rou tine order of the day was the morning offering. There wasn't a ruffled feel ing, an unkind word or an evidence of discord during the proceedings. Pass Six Bills. For the first time during the session an omnibus was called and six bills passed on third reading. Three of them were thru in the bulk roll- call. Two public welfare bills went to the mill during the morning introduction of bills. Barrier of Greenwood of fered a bill creating a department of public welfare for the various counties of Kansas. Brown of Atchison pre sented a bill creating a department of child research at the state university. It calls for study of child problems by the state school. Introduce Full Crew Bill. For the first time in .several years the full crew bill came back for a visit to the state legislature. In the good old happy days a Kansas legislature never got beyond the first week of the session without a full crew bill. Now Chandler of Wyandotte has restored the policy of legislation regarding the number of employes on a switch en gine or freight train. He sent 1 two full crew bills to the house reading clerk at the morning session. Murray of Cowley offered a bill re garding taxation of bank securities. Hawley introduced public ware house bill and Miller of Cherokee is author of a bill creating a state mine examining board. THIS GANDER IS NO GOOSE Leads Blind Ox to Water and Back to Its Pasture Again. Greensboro. Ala., Feb 2. A queer tale of the extraordinary friendship existing between a gander and a blind ox on the farm of Braxton Holcroft, in the southern end of the county, was brought here today. Each day, so the story goes, a state ly gander, with his breast full of sym pathy and his head full of responsi-1 bllity, leads an aged and totally blind ox to a nearby pond for water. The gander, walking lust in front. quacks now and then In order that the sightless ox may follow, and when the pond is reached, the gander stands guard while his protege drinks his fill. When the ox has finished drinking the gander leads him back to the field. PRICE OF GASOLINE DECLINES Reduction of 1.8 Cents Per Gallon Become Effective Today. A decline of 1.8 cents per gallon in the price of gasoline became effective in Topeka Tuesday and today. The Capital City Oil company and the Long Oil company reduced the price Tuesday morning. The Standard re ceived the notice and made the price effective today, as did the Crew Levick and other companies. This makes the present price of high test gas at the service stations 28.2 cents per gallon. Low test sells for 24.6. The Standard and Crew Levick. companies, which handle only one grade of gasoline, are selling for 24.6 at the service stations and Z3.V on the tank wagons. Kerosene is now Belling for 13.1 at the service stations, WAS FINAL STRENGTH TEST Harrison Filibuster Lasted Over Two Weeks Is Kecord. Vote on Other Appropriation! Bills Also Held L'p. Washington, Feb. 2. The Republi can attempt to enforce cloture for consideration of the emergency tariff bill was defeated today In the senate. The vote was 36 for adoption of clo ture to 35 against, far less than the necessary two-thirds majority. Republicans voting against the clo ture rule were: Senators Borah. Colt. Gronna, Johnson, Calif., Keyes, La Follette and Townsend seven. Democrats voting for the cloture rule were: Ashurst, Henderson, Johnson, South Dakota; Jones New Mexico: Kendrick. Myers, Ransdell, Sheppard and Smith, Georgia nine. Was Final Test of Strength. The vote on the cloture rule was regarded as the final test in the senate of the strength of the Fordney bill. Had the supporters of the emergency tariff act been able to muster the nec essary two-thirds majority, they would have been certain of passing the bill. The rule which the Republicans sought to invoke would have limited each senator to one hour's debate on the act and its amendments and Vice President Marshall would have been made timekeeper on each speaker, tho each senator would have been allowed to divide his time allowed, as he pleased. Bill Talked to Death. The adoption of the cloture rule would have insured the passage of the tariff act within the next ninety- six hours. The failure of the attempt by the Republican supporters of the bill to get the desired majority now practically dooms the measure to de feat as it is assured that the Harrison filibuster cannot be broken unless the time limit rule on debate is invoked. Even the supporters of the bill now admit that the act will be "talked to death" and there is every prospect of its being abandoned by its supporters at this session. Senator Harrison and his backers are now strongly entrenched and able to prevent a vote being taken in the senate on this or any other appropria tion bills which have been involved in the struggle that has now lasted over two weeks and established a record for such a campaign against any measure ever brought before the highest body of congress.- BATTLE WITH REDS BoIsheYiki Attack British Out posts in Persia. Advancing Soviet Troops Pre pared for Ileary DriTe. Teheran. Feb. 2. British soldiers and Bolshevik! met in battle Sunday, according to military advices here to day. British outposts on the northwestern frontier of Persia were attacked by Bolsheviki advance guards. The Brit ish vigorously counter attacked, kill ing twelve and capturing twenty-seven. There were no British casualties. The British government announced last month it intended to withdraw Its forces from northern Persia. Women and children accompanying the troops were ordered sent home. The Persian government was re ported at the time to fear an inrush of Bolsheviki and to be ready to re move the capital if allied support was removed. The Bolsheviki filtered down to the Persian frontier thru Armenia and Azerbaijan, and were reported prepar ing heavily for a summer campaign which would strengthen their grip on Asia, and prepared for the invasion of India. BRIDE OVERSLEPT HERSELF. Xew York Woman Asleep Four Weeks Declares Wedding Only Postponed. New York, Feb. 2. Awakened from a four weeks" sleep one day after she was to have been married. Miss Yetta Lehman, 21, today said she felt no ill effecu and would be wed in a week I or two. Altenaing pnysiciiiuo cam iie not been suffering from sleeping sick ness and that they were unable to diagnose the malady. LAUGH IS ONJGROUND HOG Modern Science Proves That Tra ditional Weather Indicator Is Usually Wrong. It were well that all groundhogs were blind, if there be anything to tradition. The groundhog is the pes simist of the whole world. He will not accept sunshine at its face value I or as "evidence of things hoped for. Like lar too many two-ieggea ani mals, he believes the sunshine is merely the forerunner of additional gloom. "It can't last," Is his verdict, when emerging from his burrow on this. February 2. his own particular day, he views the welcome orb of day, working overtime, nor demand ing time and a half therefor. And betakes himself back to the recesses of the earth for a six weeks' beauty sleep according to tradition. But modern science and so forth. makes little of tradition or of pessi mists, either. Records show that the ground hog has been at fault when he prophesied six more weeks of winter, because of a sunshiny February 2, more times than be has been correct. Anyhow, here's his chance to make good. It was a very sleepy eyed ground hog indeed, who would not have perceived his own shadow today. AWAIT ACTION BY THE HOUSE Same Procedure Taken Geddes Measure.. oa Lengthy Debate on Armistic Holiday Act. The senate today approached the In dustrial court divorce fight, looked over the edge, and tiptoed away gent ly. "Let the house do it," Is the motto of the senate when It comes to a fight, and the doctrine prevailed this morn ing when the senate bills providing for the recreation of the state publib util ities commission and amending the statutes which now govern the Indus- trial court, were brought up In com mittee of the whole. Postponed Until Later. W The bills were recommended for5' passage, subject to amendment and debate which means that the fight i was simply postponed until a later.' date, if there is going to be any fight In the east end of the state house. The senate is waiting on the result of the argument in the house. The passage of the same bills in the house, which j may then be substituted for the senate bills, at the will of the senate, will aim j pllfy matters. 1 The senate bills, originated In th' committee on federal and state affairs I were stage-managed this morning by, Senator Coleman of Johnson county. chairman of the committee. Senator Coleman simply made a few amende ments which corrected errors in tha bills, and then moved that they be rec ommended for passage. On both bills he was prompted by Senator Price of Clark county, as t adding the phrase "subject to amend ment and debate," which may mean a later, 'mere were no dissenting votes on the proposition to put off tha discussion of the bills, and no discus sion of them in the committee of tho whole. Follow Same System on Geddea Bill. The same procedure was taken by the committee of the whole, with the Geddes bill from the house, restricting the granting of paroles by the district Judges. It was recommended for pas sage, subject to amendment and de bate, on the motion of Senator Sat terthwaite. The continuation of the argument on the house bill by Harrington, set ting aside Armistice Day, November 11, as a legal holiday in Kansas, threatened for, a few momenta tA I break out again. -Senator Finley. of cnanute, who has been opposing the bill, spoke against it because he be lieves that It should be a matter which should be settled by the United States senate. During the discussion of the bill in committee of the whole, he pre sented a concurrent resolution which memorializes the congress of the United States to declare November 1 1. "Armistice Day" and provide for lta observance with suitable ceremonies. The resolution was out of order, and Mclvor, of Hoxle. tried to secure a vote on the bill, which was denied be cause the members of the senate wished first to hear Finley'a concur rent resolution. Recommend Two Bins. 1 The committee of the whole rec ommended for passage two house bills' which regulate the powers of the city commissioners of Kansas City, Kan. in building and repairing viaducts and bridges within the city limits, and permitting them the power to declare streets which they select aa business or traffic streets, and to pave or re pave these streets, or improve thent otherwise, without the necessity of re celvlng petitions from the property -owners on the streets. The house bllle were substituted for similar senate bills by Ridgway, who spoke for therm Pass Grain Taxation Measure. Senate bill No. 79. by Senator Gates which fixes the location for the taxa tion of certain properties, especially grain elevators, was passed after some discussion. In the committee ot the whole. The working of the bill, as its author explained, is to make it possible to assess certain property for, taxation which now escapes. The lawyers of the senate disagreed pointedly on Senate Bill No. 7, which provides that suits .for the settlement of Insurance claims may also include the payment of attorney's f eea There was some acrimonious arraignment of the Insurance companies by Senator Kimball, who introduced the bill, and some vigorous defense of the com panies as already lacking a square deal in the courts, by Hegier of Wich ita. Kimball declared that there is no other business so thoroly organized to influence legislation, as the insur ance businesses of the state, and as serted that "their fine Italian hand may be seen in a great deal of the legislative matter which basses this body." After a defense of the lnsur ance companies by Hegier and Ridg way. Senator Price took exception te some of the Inferences which had been drawn by Ridgway, and rose to declare that he had never known m. bill to be Introduced in the senate by a lawyer, which favored the personal or professional interests of that law yer.

THE. TOPEKA DAILY: STATE JOURNADWEDNESDAY EVENING, PEBRUAIY 2, 1921' TERMS NOT FINAL Germany Refuses to Beliere Allies Will Stand Pat. y Foreign Minister Indicates So "ew Course' of Action. BURDEN ON WORKING GLASS Expects Help From STew Ad ministration in U. S. Only Communists Refuse Join in Coalition Flan. to Berllfi, Feb. 2. Germany does not consider the terms of reparation de cided upon by the supreme allied council at Paris last week as being the final settlement of the Indemnity ques tion but the basis of future negotia tions. This was Indicated by Dr. Walter Simons, foreign minister, who spoke on the reparation question before the reichstag yesterday. His address was viewed as a cautious statement by party leaders. Has Burned JTo Bridges. The prevalent opinion was that Dr. Simons had not burned his bridges behind him and that his presentation of the German attitude might enable him to gain important time, both in anticipating the attitude of the new American administration and In reach ing a definite settlement of the fate of Upper Silesia. Rumors have been current that the president of the German cabinet would resign, but they have been given little credence, as no other coalition govern ment would be conceivable under the present unanimity of political parties In Germany. Only the communists stand out as the opposition. The opinion was also quite universally expressed that the Independent socialists could adopt no other attitude than one of stern op position to the reparations conditions under which the proletariat would be the greatest sufferers. This view was promptly subscribed to by majority socialists who have made it known they would stand by the present gov ernment. lilt German Workers. "The reparation demands are, above all. a blow at the German working man," Ir. Eduard David, Majority So cialist leader, and former member of the ministry, declared in talking with the Associated Press. The agrarian classes might be able to survive such economic impositions, an they are able to feed themselves. The wealthy also would probably not suffer under such a burden, but the Herman laboring people would have to shoulder the burden of such terms. "We are quite willing to have an entente coalition government com prised of English, French, Belgian, Italians and Japanese take over the government of Germany and demon strate the feasibility of the terms im posed upon us." London. Feb. 2. The conference called by the supreme council to be held in London February 28, to which the Germans will be invited, will not lie for the purpose of pronouncing an irrevocable sentence regarding repara tions, from which the Germans, will not be able to appeal, it was authori tatively stated today. The conference, rather, will be designed to produce a declaration of the principles of Ger many's Indebtedness. It is pointed out in official circles that the work of the Paris conference on reparations was that of making solemn declaration of German indebt edness. That declaration, it is assert ed, will in the main be closely adhered to at the London conference but the allies and Germany can adjust the method and time of the payments. It is even probable, it is stated, that the Your Intentions find written expres sion in your will. ,THIS COMPANY- Is the specially fitted organization for car rying out those in tentions.

Yesterday's shooting was largely preliminary. FAVOR CITY BILL 1 1 1 i Municipal Ownership Measure Causes Debate in Senate. Laing- of Kussell Cast Decid Ing Vote. Following the monotony of a bunch of way and means committee bills on the calendar for Tuesday morning, on which some, time was saved by the expedient of having them declared emergency measures so that the sen-, ate might be rid of them and turn them over to the house, the senate rather welcomed a brisk little war on municipal gwnership which was staged In the afternoon when the Rldgway bill providing the authority for the city officials of Kansas City. Kan., to take over, own and operate their street railway system came up in committee of the whole. Brought Instant Fight. The bill, while it applies to Kansas City, Kan., only, brought an Instant fight out of the men in the senate who do not believe in municipal own ership. Finney, of Sumner, was the first man to get after the bill. The reading clerk had barely started when Finney moved that the enacting clause of the bill be stricken out. Kidgway was on his feet to explain the purpose of the bill and the fact that It applied only to his city. He detailed the predicament in which the citizens of Kansas City, Kan. would frnd themselves if they had no "club" to wield over the company whose franchise is held in Missouri. Senator Finley. of Chanute. followed with a sweeping arraignment of mu nicipal ownership of all sorts, declar ing that he did not believe that any city should operate any utility, and asserting that wherever there was mu nicipal ownership there was misman agement. He characterized the man agement of the public utilities in his own city as "extremely bungling," and took a whole-souled swipe at the en tire practice. 0 After another talk from Ridgway. followed by a vigorous defense of mu nicipal ownership from Taylor, of Hutchinson, the motion to strike out the enacting clause was voted down, and the clerk went on with the read ing. v Coleman Offers Amendment. At the end of the reading, Cole man, of Johnson county, who had asked several questions during its progress, rose and suggested an amendment in regard to the property holding requirements of voters eligi ble to decide at the election which must be held, whether tne city should take over the street railways or not. Kidgway characterized the amend ment as a device to render the bill unconstitutional, and there, were sev eral passages between him and Cole man. The Coleman amendment was voted down, and the question of the pas sage of the bill came up, after more speech-making from both sides. The "ayes" shouted the louder when the vote- was called for, but the "noes were quick to call for divi sion. A standing vote resulted in i tie. A roll call was called for, but not by the necessary thirteen, sena tors, and the opposition shouted for "no report on the bill." Some parlia mentarian on the other side objected, and pointed out that the chairman who was Laing, of Russell should cast the deciding vote. Laing voted "Aye," and the bill was recommend ed by the committee for passage. The bill has not yet been acted on in the house and the recommendation of the committee of the whole does not necessarily mean that it will pass the senate on the final vote, but fur ther debate on the bill has been stopped by the action of the commit tee. The bill passed .the house at the last session with but six dissenting votes, and but little fear is entertained of its passage there again this term. CHARLES MILLER IS SENTENCED.

Not to exceed two and one-half years in the state penitentiary was the sentence pronounced upon .Charles Miller, alias Wagner, bv Judge George Whitcomb in the district court Tues day. Miller attempted to pass worth less checks totaling $7S,000 on Top&i ka banks recently. He had served term in the Colorado state prison for a similar offense. Cold With QUININE AND La Grippa PROTEST 01 '.TAX' Contest .Is Started 6rer New Mexican Schedule. Law Proposed Futs Producers at Mercy of Officials. RUINOUS TO THE BUSINESS From One-Fourth to One-Third ,v Lery Tow Provided.. dbregon Administration Flans to Push Law Thru. -i Mexico City, Feb. 2 Formal ob jections to the government's projected law providing for the payment of oil taxes, was presented to Adolf o de La Huerta, secretary of the treasury, yes terday afternoon by. a committee rep resenting the association of producers of petroleum in Mexico. Assertion was made by 'members of the com mittee that it was. the most ener getic protest yet made to the gov ernment by the association: The memorandum contained charges of "subterfuge" in the designation of the act and a declaration that "com panies which ewbort petroleum -are subject to maneuvers which can. be arbitrary on the part of officials or the employes of the secretary of fi nance." It is alleged the projected legislation would levy upon petroleum taxes which were exorbitant and wholly out of proportion to the value of the product. Demand for Good Faith. Declaration By the government that the proposed law would provide a production tax, was denied by tb pro test, which asserted the only portion of oil production affected by the tax wouid be that whiclx includes crude petroleum and its products exported from Mexico. "Therefore," the memorandum con tinued, "the tax accrues on exporta- tlons of petroleum and the subterfuge of designating this as a production tax. should not be resorted to. Taxes which we must pay must be established scientifically and must embody clear ness and good faith in order that tax payers will not meet with difficulties. "Exorbitant Increases in the tax to be levied on petroleum are provided for in the proposed law. For instance, Panuco crude petroleum would Dear .a tax of 41 per cent of its total value or four out of every ten barrels; Tux pam crude would be taxed 25 per cent or nearly three barrels out of ten, and fuel oil would bear 31 per cent tax, or one barrel out of every three produced. Such a tax would ruin any business." Waste Is Admitted. The oil men suggested a 10 per cent tax on the value of petroleum exports after expenditures incurred had been deducted. Discussing waste of oil wells which the Mexican authorities have asserted amounts to more than fifty million pesos annually, the pro- rest admitted tnere was unnecessary waste which should t stopped but it was insisted that some waste was un avoidable) and snouia not De taxeu. As a final observation the oil men asked for the 'suppression of the law compelling joil companies; tQ pay part of their taxes in paper money, which is at present virtually .exhausted. It was asserted that payments being made in paper money are in reality additional taxes,; It was stated semi-offtciaily today the-administration officials ha combined-to push the projected law dur ing the coming session- of the Mexi can congress and it was declared that President Obregon would urge a spe cific j. ro vision in the law stating that article 27 of the constitution, which would nationalize oil deposits would not be retroactive. The president has on several occasions declared this was his view of article 27.

Battle lines be tween capital and union labor were drawn tight here today. Faced by the request of the railroad owners for abrogation of- national agreements and wage reductions, rail union leaders today -put the finishing touches to the answer they v.lll pre sent tomorrow before, the United States railroad board. Win Bo Big Showdown. B. M.-Jewell," president of the rail road shopmen's union, spokesman for the rail labor unions, will give labor's answer to capital. Tho the" matter at stake is only be tween railroad owners and employes, indications are that this will be the "big showdown" between capital and labor. Should the railroads succeed in forcing a reduction, it is believed it will be followed by reductions in nearly everjs craft. Should the rail road employes retain a successful stand, other unions are expected to stand, fast against a cut in wages. Charges are Denied. Denial of charges which union lead ers included in a message to President Wilson were made in a wire which the railroad chiefs sent to Wilson last night. The national working agreements, the wire said, should be abolished and would mean a saving of half a billion dollars to railroads. It denounced statements' of union leaders as "Plumb plan propaganda" and "gross misrepresentations." The senate committee on temper ance and hygiene disagreed Tuesday on the Harley bill on the examination and registration of nurses. The com mittee turned in a report recommend ing the passage of the bill, which was followed by a minority report ore- sentcd by, Senator Johnson, of Brown county, recommending that the bill pe not passed.

The argument on the bill, which Is in respect to the competency of witnesses,' was full of legal -technique, and'the nori-lawyer members of the senate grew quickly weary ot- it. The bill as passed amends the present law in such a fashion that clerks,, stenographers, and similar agents may not be compelled to testify as to information which comes within their knowledge accidentally or confiden tially.

Chicago, Feb. 2, Full pay envelopes of women in industry has emptied the cradles of the nation. Bishop Samuel Fallows, Reformed Episcopal church, said today. "Women used to do housework, pav ing the way to become wives," the bishop said. "Now they have become co-partners of man in politics and business and take little thought, of marriage." He said neslect of home life by women is the leading fault of the age and has become a serious problem. "Even when many women marry, they insist that they be allowed to re tain their place in industry," he said. "The full pay envelope is a greater temptaton than the sacred duty of motherhood."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1921 3 WORK NOT HEAVY i KANSAS WOMAN Judge Huggins Says Politics Is Trouble With Court. Silking Rebuke in Talk to Forty House Members. Has Gained Fifteen Pounds by Taking Tanlac. TOO MUCH TIME IN SPEECHES Hoggins Admits He Spent 30 Days on Propaganda. Discusses Reason for Split Up Among Members. Too much politics not too much work is the affliction of the court of Industrial relations. That was the stinging rebuke to Governor Allen's divorce plan Tuesday night when Pre siding Judge W. I. Huggins told forty house members why the new court ails to function. Judge Huggins lifted the trouble lid and showed the farmer members of the house inside workings of the court. From early disturbances to present troubles Judge Huggins talked straight from the shoulder. He invit ed the legislators to inspect records and to determine for themselves ex- istlng conditions. Following Judge Huggins's talk J. H. Kngh, chief ac countant, told house members that Governor Allen's plan to restore the public utilities commission and con tinue the present industrial court would cost from $:7,000 to $70,000 a year. "The trouble with the court of in dustrial relations." Judge Huggins de clared, "is not too much work but too much politics. I don't know how the governor got the idea that we are be hind with our work or that it is nec essary to divide the work between two tribunals." Much time has been spent in mak ing Industrial court speeches as well as in playing politics, the presiding judge said. He did not seek to clear himself of blame for entering the peech making game. to Make SHfvlH'. "i have spent a great deal of time out of the state myself." he said, "ami iiuvo spoken irequenuy on the mdus- trial court. I can count up twenty-one l,tjb and 1 expect 1 have spent thirty ua4 in propaganda work, on many ut thee trips i went at the governor's uirection. i ne governor certainly did not mink we were overworked then or ue would not have sent me. And 1 vvouid not have gone if the work had ueuit-nded tn.s time." ouugv tluggins (old of activities of Governor Alien and Judge Clyde Ai. it'ed in the political game. He said the telephone expenses of Judge Reed became so great that he Joined with .luuge VVark in issuing an order that no expenses should be incurred by any member or employe of the court with out court approval. The expense items which aroused criticism of Judges Huggins and Wark were for Judge Keed's telephone conversations with H. H. Motter, Republican state chairman: "William Allen White. Fred Trigg and other persons active in state politics. Accuses a Newspaper. Knmity of a Kansas City newspaper i H DQiH vhAn the court refused to appoint Charles Hol brook, a former member of the legis lature, to a position as investigator. SSincc that time, he declared, the Mis souri paper has "deliberately printed falsehoods" in an effort to discredit liiwself and Judge Wark. r "I had never seen this man and did i no; know him." Judge Huggins said in did not need him and could not afford to pay him because our contingent fund was getting low. But Judge Reed insisted that he be appointed. We spent the greater part of a day argu ing the matter without reaching an agreement. "Then a few days later Holbrook came down and said he was ready to go to work. I asked him it we had hired him and he said the court had arui that the governor told him to come down. I got the court together and Judge Wark agreed that we did net need hinl. Then Judge Reed shook his finger at Judge Wark and naid: 'George, it is the governor's wl.;h that this man be given a job be cause the governor is obligated to him and is depending upon you to hire him and you'll be making a mistake if you do not do it.' Political Graft." Ho Charged. "Then I got mad and lost my dig nity." said the presiding judge. "I said thin was political graft and I wouldn't stand for it. Judge Yark was more diplomatic. He said the court must stay above politics and that we should treat our contingent fund as a trust fund and try to pro tect and conserve it." It was following this stormy session and refusal to put Holbrook on the payroll that the Missouri newspaper launched its fight on himself and Judge Wark. the presiding Judge said. He made clear that Holbrook had v been the Missouri paper 8 candidate ir the legislature in Wyandotte and M? defeated for nomination. Of the 285 opinions handed down by the court, there have been but three dissenting opinions an unusual record he said. Two of these dis aenting' opinions the Kansas City and Topeka telephone cases were written by Judge Reed. Judge Hug gins said he himself wrote one dis sent. "But I never gave it to the newspapers and you haven't been reading about it." he said. Many of the legislators took notes during the Huggins speech. When Judge Huggins observed the use of pencils, he said he would be glad to provide any records of the court for use of the law makers. J. H. Engh. who talked after the Huggins speech, said he would pro vide an estimate aa to the cost of the new court. WII,L. QCIT HEADLOCK Mat Champ Willing to Help Make Wrestling Game Safe. New Tork.

"I was so weak at the time I began taking Tanlac I couldn't walk a block without giving out but now I am in splendid health and have gained fif teen pounds," said Mrs. Jane Caster, 735 S. Elizabeth St., Wichita, Kan., recently. 'Ttfy health had been failing so fast during the past two years that I was on the verge of nervous prostration. I was so weak and trembly I was ready to give up and it just seemed that there was no hope for me. I was almost a complete nervous wreck and had awful pains in my back and across my hips. My appetite was poor and mv digestion was bad. To get any rest was next to impossible for when I lay down I was in an awful nervous strain and Just couldn't keep still to save me. I fell off in weight and didn't seem to have any strength or energy left. "But Tanlac was a godsend to me and I have nothing but praise for it since it has restored me to such splen did health. My appetite is just fine and nothing I eat ever hurts me In the least. My nerves are calm and steady and I sleep as peaceful as a child. I have been built up so won derfully I can do all my housework and am in better general health than I have been for years. There will al ways be a warm spot in my heart for Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Irug Co.. 835 Kansas Ave., and 729 Kansas Ave.. Adv.

IJasktn. blrector, washtng- ir. Germany. eeniB disposed to rebel against the terms imposed upon her lV the reparations commission. It ijay become necessary for the en tente to reopen the 'war in order to efiforce its decrees. Since the United rJlatcs still is at war with the Teu tnle government, il will not .be nec essary for the entente nations' to call oli this country for help. The elatm-s oi the allies may bo Just but It is dif ficult to see how they will collect with cjf without an appeal to arms. The $Jd raw that "you can't get blood out Of turnip" seems to apply in the matter of German indemnities. The ui position of a 12 per cent duty On German exports' indicates a dlsposl" tlbn to- deprive her ot her foreign trade, her only means of obtaining the money with. whlch to meet the claims ot her victorious foes. The Value of the dollar seems to be increasing almost everywhere except in Topeka restaurants and in pay ment of rent. r" There is some prospect that the ranks of the unemployed may be greatly increased by the addition Of A small army of usclessMerks employed in Washington, after March 4. A bill has been introduced in the AVisr-onsin legislature providing for payment of benefits to employes by employers during periods of idleness of the former. This measure should be accompanied by a companion bill providing that employes shall pay em ployers benefits for time and profits 'lost during idleness of the plants thru lack of orders. Nothing is needed in these unsettled times more than ab solute fairness in the relations bo tween workers and their employers. Notwithstanding what appears to be a' ttumewhat excessive estimate put out by the federal bureau of labor statistics, to the effect that nearly S;00,000 persons In the United State wero. unemployed between January 1 and January 15, the past week has seen some decided advances in indus trial conditions. Among these has been the resumption of activity in not a few textile plants and an increase in the operations ot a good many inde pendent steel mills, motor car-' fac tories' that had been either shut down or Working oh a restricted basis. Many of these resumptions have taken place on a lasis of reduced wages. Workers are taking their medicine Just as are the producers of food and raw materials. In the. case of wage earners. It seems unfortunate that it was necessary for employers to clpse their plants before employes ceuld be made to see the light. Eut is not surprising that workers should decline to accept reductions while plants ir running at full blast. Low ered wages are certain to be equalized by reduced cost of living, but it would be better if all prices eould descend at the same time. 'Kansas City, which long has stood fifth in the list of cities In the amount o( hef bank clearings, was passed last week by Pittsburgh. The fact prob ably is due to a heavy trade in steel. It Is plain, says -the Dry Goods Economist, that the so-called "con sumers' etrike" is being called off. It nfver was really a strike In the sense that there Was any widespread agree ment among purchasers to hold off until prices came down. The high prices themselves served as an auto mat to check en consumer demand, tor the great increase in rents, taxes an! other direct or indirect living costs hive narrowed the margin of the con sumer'a income left for optional pur chases. But how that a dollar can bay about twice as much in cotton goods at least as it could six months ago, H is simply buying more. That is ad. Bradstreet's finds a widening circle of improvement, more lines of trade and sections of country .partici pating therein, ahd a better and a more confident, tone In trade. Whole sale and retail trade are each slightly fcetter, it says, ahd the industrial sit uation on balance teems lo mow fid loss in employment, increased running time in leading textile and shoe man ufacturing centers probably offsetting less activity in some sections of the lr6n and steel trades and in the rail way industry EXPRESS BPSIXESS SEARS END. The pascel post, it seems, is about to put the express companies out ot business. Even recent big advances in rates appear powerless- to save them. In fact their tottering condi tion may be due largely to those same advances in rates, which have proven to be more than the traffic will bear. Wells Fargo tc Co., pioneer express company of America, has notified its stockholders that the express business has ceased to have paying possibilities And recommends liquidation. The American Railway Express, the government consolidation of the separate companies during the war, with all its advantages of no-competition and single overhead, has not been able to make money or eve'n pay ex penses. It wants to quit, but the con stituent companies recognize it would be suicidal for them to resume opera tions individually. Some seventy years ago the express busfhess of this country started with a few private messengers and pony rid ers. It grew until it attracted mil lions of capital, demanded s vast equipment ahd returned huge earn: ings. Now it is going to pieces under competition of the government. Froin the inception ot the express business the companies furnished a service the public wanted and for which It continued to pay, even ths the rates demanded were piling up great fortunes for the big holders of express company stocks. The public protested the extortionate rates but the protests went unheeded. Finally, in response to insistent popular demand, the government par cel post was established and its mod erate rates at once absorbed the great er part of the light package business. What was left would not keep the ex press companies alive. Perhaps the express companies are the Victims of inevitable clianges of conditions. Perhaps, too, they are the victims of too much outreach for profits'in the days when they had a practical monopoly of the business. If they had made reasonable rates, and had been content with moderate returns on the public's business, tlie demahd for the parcel post might never have come.. The express com panies might have been doing the country's parcel carrying and have been prospering today. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis Western recently reported that on two different occasions employes have been called for work outside ot their regular hours and the call cancelled before they left home. Acting in ac cordance with an interpretation of the shop crafts agreement, these employes requested the payment of five hours' pay for being called. This is the sort of thing that is sapping the life of the railroads, and it is the thing from which they are asking to be relieved. KOXPART1SAX LEAGUES. In an address delivered recently be fore the New York State League of Women Voters, Governor Miller of that state gave utterance to senti ments that Bhould command the seri ous thought of every similar organi zation In the country. He told them in so many words that their organi zation had no excuse for existence. He told the members that he should hot ask the league to disband because it was none of his business but he thought there was no place for a league Of women Voters any more than there is for a league of men vot ers, and he felt that any organisation that seeks to exert political power is a menace Unless It is organized as a po litical party. He then said: Tou have a right in a democratic country under free institutions even to establish a political party to f hange the form of your government, if you do it in accordance with the methods prescribed by the constitution under which we live, and yeu have a right even to organize a political party to accomplish that purpose If you pro pose to do it In a legal manner. And so you have a right to organize as a' political party Tor the furtherance of any principle or set of principles, and whether you are in a minority or a majority. But when, without being organized as a political party, any organization seeks, to exert political Influence, to coerce officials, either in the legisla tive or administrative positions, to their particular views by intimidation or otherwise, by promise of support at the elections, or by threats, epen or covert, of opposition at an election, uch an organisation in my Judgment is a menace to our free institutions and to representative government. He said that he had heard that the organization was nonpartisan but the members did not show themselves so at the last election and he felt that the fact that they were unable te de feat a candidate who voted for what Tie honestly thought was right was b. hopeful sign. The point which he emphasized, upon which he spoke at length,' was that their organization was unneces sary. 1 ail German ateel manufacturers. It is reported, are offering their products SO to to per cent cheaper In American markets than the home product, but the ract does not seem greatly to worry American manufacturers. At least they are not asking to be in cluded among the beneficiaries ef th Fordney emergency tariff bill. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information.. Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKDJ, Plrector, Washington, D. C. WHERE MEN STILL DA KM Washington, D. C, Jan. 0.-s-You stand up and yell with admiration when you see a college football player make a flying tackle on another player of about his own weight. What would you say for a man who would make a, similar flying tackle on an eight-hundred-pound steer running at full speed, and put the steer down? At the Long Island horse shows, they cheer the bold riders who take the high Jumps on carefully trained there breds. In El Paso, at the tecent an nual meeting of the American Na tional Livestock association, that would have been considered about as excit ing as taking the baby for a ride in hla uerambulator. Those who aspired to thrills at that place and time tried to ride Kyote, the famous outlaw broncho, who has thrown 173 men high in the air, and has never yet been successfully ridden. These comparisons suggest some dif ferences between the east and the wet, which may be worth reflcrtinK upon. We are told that the typical Am-riean is becoming a docile, timid, pampered individual. There were Americans of a different type in evi dence at Kl Paso. Maybe those who think American manhood Is gone to pot have never been very far west. They also tell us that the old-time cowboy has vanished along with the Indian and the buffalo. "Yet this ex tinct creature gathers by the thousands at conventions every year in El Paso, in Las Veiras, in Cheyenne. The cow boy does not know that he is extinct, a rnanti wnulil verhans show nearly as many men who can top a broncho or bulldog a steer as ever tnere were. Human Bulldogs. Because the cattlemen take pleas ure in their calling, and in all tha.. belong to it, feats of horsemanship form the greatest attraction that can be given to them when they are look ing for amusement. So there is opportunity at El Paso during convention week to see Ameri can men and women in contests that bring into play all the rlnest qualities of the race and that make the "sports of the east seem dull and lacking in the great qualities by comparison. The contest that sterns to be in the greatest favor, and that has the larg est demand n'a man's courage, skill and strength; is the sport known as "bulldogging." In this pleasing pas time, a lithe and active steer is re leased. Ho is off at high speed at. once and behind him come two hard riding cowboys, each on his specially selected and proven bronchot The first object is for each to catch up with the steer, one on ettner side, and this being done,- the function of one of the cowboys is to keep the steer going as -straight as possible. The other cowboy, inches up to the steer; then suddenly leaves his mount and gains a hold On the steer's neck and horns. Using his feet, and sometimes his whole body on the ground, he en deavors to throw, the animal com pletely oft its feet. This is a real man's Job. When the first contact is made the steer is going at perhaps fifteen miles an hour. He weighs about 800 pounds. The cowboy scales around 170 pounds. For the man to stop this onrushing living mass with its full momentum, to bring it to a full stop, and then to turn it com pletely bottom up so the feet are off the ground, calls for as much courage, skill and applied strength, perhaps, as any athletic feat ever performed by men. It is not an all-day Job, either. Tha writer has seen It done in twelve sec onds, from the time the steer was re leased until the Judge- signalled that the feat was complete by the steer being helpless and "reversed." Jim Massey, of Snyder, Texas, d'.d this. To see that able lad riding at full tilt up alongside his steer, then make the diving Jump from his saddle and stop that steer and force him down into the dust, of defeat by superb strength well applied, would bring an audience upstanding and cheering anywhere With nearly all the spectators ftilly aware of the risks and merits of the feat, there were all the cheers a man could ask. One big citizen, who looked the prosperous cattleman he probably is, after yelling all the yells he knew, which were considerable, expressed his appreciation thus: "Men, I would not have missed that for a thousand dollars, no matter how low cattle was selling for." Other Sports. Yet this feat was done by others irt fourteen seconds flat, in fourteen and a traction seconds, and by practically all the contestants within a minute. Fancy cowboy and cowgirl riding, rorilng and ail the other range sports got their turn in the public eye and interest. v Maybe it is easy to ride a cewpony while standing upright on the saddle, and to do all the other fancy riding tricks, but this audience of experi enced people did not think so, Judging by their intense attention to all the de tails of the performance. The cowgirl was in evidence, and proved that there are very .few riding tricks that a girl cannot do and still keep her good looks and style. in tne calf roping contests, the com mittee had furnished a herd of Here ford calves (under one year old is a calf in the cattle countrvl that oonM hm like deer. Frequently they could out run the fleet cowponies that had been specially selected and trained by their rmers ior tnis contest. The calf did not seem to be going so fast, havina- short nimble legs under him, until it was seen mat tne nard-ridlng cowboy, with his mount Stretched to the last inch, could not get within good roniaa- distance. Then, too, in the course of tnese many doings, some of these calves had been roped before, and, like the bulldogged steer, after one experi ence they avoid repetition, if possible. When the calf sees that the rope is about to be thrown, he will, frequently stop short, or turn quickly. 1 Of eOdrse the roper feels bad about It and says so, but the calf can hardly be expected to sympathise. For to be roped means to be brought up to a slop suddenly and violently, to be thrown to the around by a vigorous and fast-working oowboy, to be tied and trussed up. and thus to await the Judge's inspec tion and nnoroval. Jerry Wriirht of Brady. Tex., did all of thin in t 1- seconds and a large number did the feat in less than ene minute. After the cattleman has taken his lull part in the proceedings of his eonvention. ana nas been regaled with these sports that are so dear to him. he goes to the restaurant that he knows is a'l rieht by experience or by most careful inquiry. He passes ur the fads and fashions of the bill of fare, having neither taste nor' desire for the things whose first function is to please- the palate or show varied Fkill in ecokerv. He knows what he wants. To his mind, beyond all ar gument. It is the only food that white people ought to eat and the only food worth while. He orders a choice T bone or tenderloin steak, full sise. and, as a slight coneession to dietetic principle, a few fried potatoes on the side. With two cups of coffee this Is a meal to be taken at all times. breakfast, dinner and supper. This diet violates alniost every rule of the books, and certainly concedes nothing to the vegetarians. It has in its favor the faot that the western .range-riding cattleman seems to have more strength, nerve and endurance than any other type of human. The Woman He Married BY JANE PHELPS PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. CHAPTER 5J "Well Nan, I guess our firm thinks we aren't able to keep up margins, so they have made it a rule that no em ployes shall speculate." "What do you mean? That you have to take out that nremey you have on cotton at a loss?" "No. It was up a little today again, Just enough to make me whole, so I drew it out. I. have a plan tho I th'Bk I'll risk trying.'' "What is it? Do tell me quick, I am wild to knoW!'" "It's s'mple enough. .1 wonder I haven't thought of it before. We. will open an account in your maiden name: then I will buy or sell for you whenever I. get 'a tip that I think worth trying. Fool not .to have thought of it before." Dick grumbled. That nig-ht we sat up terribly late planning what we would do with the money Nan Hardy was geing to make. One thing Dick Insisted upoh that was we must buy a lot, therias soon as possible build a little home. We almost quarreled, because I advised him to vit until we could build a handsome one. "Get a nice big lot, Dick. Then we can have a handsome house, and a garage. Dick had torn up the plan for the house we had talked about, torn it up in distrust because I said it was inadequate. Now he repeated what he had said: "I've always wanted to plan a house. Nan. 1'il show yxu and other people who think they know it all that 'it isn't necessary to spend a fortune on a house to have it both comfortable and convenient." Dick was terribly nervous that night. I now knew it was because he felt he was deceiving the firm, and was unhappy over it, altho almost as anxious now as was I to speculate. I wanted the money for show, for clothes. Dick wanted it for me. That was the difference. I had made him unhappy Jy wanting things we coul I not afford, by talking of money, urg ing him to make more. I believe if I had not insisted upon going to bed Dick would have sat UP all night building that house he had in mind on paper. And after we had one to bed he tossed and tumbled all night, muttering in his sleep instead of sleeping quietly as was his habit. ine next day I opened an account with Blake and Ogden in my maiden name, x received a letter thanking me for my patronge,- astd teUitraj-me they were glad to serve me. 1 felt almost hysterical as I read It. I could hardly watt-until night Jo know wiiat uicjs naa aone. He came up the stairs whistling. Then after he kissed Junior and me, he said: "Nan Hardy has ZOO shares of I. C. C." "And every point it goes up, Dick, we make $200!" "Yes. And e'very point it goes down we are out $200. You musn't lose sight of that." "But you don't have to sell when It goes down." "Not now. We may have to some day if things go against us too badly. But sometimes it is wise to take a loss instead of hanging on. Altho things are pretty low how not much danger I don't think." It was years after this before I know how -hard I had made it for Dick during this time when I was urging him to use the information he gathered at tho office to make more money for me to spend prin cipally on clothes. How hard It ,was had been, rathefr for Tiim to re frain from using his salary in the attempt to satisfy me, to still my To be truthful. I did not do much analyzing of either his. or my own motives. That he had at last con sented to do as other men did, or as I thought they did, was all- t thought ef, all I eared, s. My confirmation Came while we were at breakfast. I felt very im portant as I put it earefuHy away in my desk. "If it goes up five points, Dick, we will make $1,000," were my last words, instead of some foolish loving expres sion as I had been in the habit of using when he left. (Tomorrow Further sueeess.)

It was therefore with particular in terest thai he real in the lost and found column of the "Daily Graphic" the foJUOwing notice: "Losv-1U,000 in $100 bills- En tire account of widow with five chil dren. Mrs. MUwtrd, AVest Seventy seventh street." David was straightway torn with Buffering for that little widow. Her own feeling must assuredly be pros trating. Davi4 grieved as if the loss were hi3 own. Ten thousand dollars was but a small drop In the ocean of his wealth, and there was a poor little widow making herself ill over the loss of that amount. 1 David would return it to ner. Tne advertisement stated the money was in 1100 -bills. David would take that amount to her and say that he had picked it up in an envelope on the street. The thing seemed easy'or ac complishment. He jumped into his yellow .roadster, went to the bank, drew the money snd proceeded toward the address of Mrs. Milward. David was-greeted at the door by a charming child of perhaps three summers, and behind her seemed a regular collection ot children, golden haired, violet-eyed and full of the Joy of childhood. They were a sad contrast te the wan-eyed young mother who dragged her tired feet forward to greet David. The golden hair and Violet eyes were there, but the cheeks were blanched end the eyes tragic. David swallowed hard when he beheld her. It seemed to him impossible that the loss of mere money should so rob a lovely woman of her charm and life. "I found this,'" he said gently, "on the street near Seventy-fourth street. It must be your money, as it Is most unlikely two peope.1 could be He stopped suddenly, for the light, in the violet eyes was wonderful to behold. "Oh," she muttered softly, then David was terrified, for tho lovely young widow was weeping. And be fore he could decide what to do under so tryina; a situation one small voice piped up with the demand: "Why do you make my mummy cry bad man?" All five children were swiftly grouped about their evidently precious mother in an effort to pro tect her from further molestation f rbm the bad man. But mummy's grief was, short. In fact, it had only been the scattering of pent up Buffering. "No, my pets, the gentleman is not a bad man he is a very, very won derful man. He has turned the shadows into brilliant sunlight for your foolish mother." Smiles seemed swiftly to hang in ever part of the room. From three-year-old baby smiles to Mkp alluring wmile in the eyes of mutherhood they were all there, and David Was curiously a vital part of the sunlight. The mother had put her hand into his and was trying to thank him and saying "something about a reward.. "Mrs.-Milward, I have more money than I can use. Please don't speak of a reward. My name is David Oleason, and if you will just not mention it to newspaper men I will appreciate it. I hate notoriety. But if you will trust me I will be more than glad to invest the greater part of that money for you." He looked straight and deep into those ultra-feminine violet eyes and gently shook his head. "I think you ned some one to watch out for your finances." Betty Milward flushed and looked shyly back at David. If you would only help me te keep things straight I Would appreciate it more than I can tell." I have no one at all to help me in that way.". For the first time in the whole of David's life he felt pride in his knowl edge of: finance, his ability te double and treble capital, then treble it again. This he would do for Betty Milward and her lovely golden-haired floek. -David found himself many times durins the following days thinking of the .small family, and most of ell the strange light that had straightway come into Betty's eyes with the return of her money. He knew this was not earthly nor material, but just mother sense. She would hot have been so tragic had it not been for her brood and their loss by her stupidity. He realized that responsibility is a great builder1 of character. He- had never known any himself. Now he rejoiced that the turn of events had given him this family to eare for in a personal way. Weeks and months passed by. David and Betty became the closest ot friends. The children adored him and many a wonderful picnic they had In his big touring car. The roadster was practically forgotten in the garage. Betty was exquisitely beautiful sitting beside David as they skimmed along country -roads, and the sunlight played upon her golden hair and happy eyes. Betty's account was of goodly propor tions now, thanks to David's knowl- edffa of the markets. Then came the black dawn wheh a poor, shifty-eyed creature stood at Petty's door and demanded admittance. The children were fearful and Betty herself felt a curious sense of both fer and pity. "I never did a dishonest thing In my life until I found that money," the man was mumbling. "When I picked up that ten thousand dollars I was ill and my family in want. I just couldn't return it. and now well, I ran t live ahyilonster without telling you. I can't die with the theft for it was theft on mv conscience." -Betty gasped. Was this man insane or was she having a bad dream? Her money the money David had found ,emd retumed--There was an other man who claimed te have found it Uke a flash the truth dawned en her. David had not feund her money. He had V.eeei ved here. She smiled softlv. It was like David. With the gentleness born of the great ,n1? she row knew, Betty teld the suffering bit of wreckage that ehe could eas'ly forarve him. He offTed her a scant portion of the sum he had kept but this she refused. "I have p'enty," she told him. "Keep it ana if- you need more before you get on your feet again eeme to me-"' The-man -stood very straight,- The shiftllness was gone from his eyes. "It was conscience that has-kept me down," he said. "I will face the world again, and when I can I will repay yeu. I thank you mere then can tell." Hhe withdrew, for emotion wa getting the belter of him ana Betty knew that a rewarded sovl had passed from her presence. When David arrived With his usual armful of flowers and candy, Betty looked long and questieningly inte his eyes. David," she said quietly, "have you any confession to make to me?" David laughed happi'y. 'None ex cept that love you-t-more every dav." "David, look at me have you no other confession to make to your, wife?'. I Something understanding In the vij- let eyes prompted D-vid's memory. I "You weren't my wife then, dear," he said, "and there was noth.n", in life i wojjit talking about or confessing untiPyou became my wife. However I 'fesa up. You are not sorry dear?" "I couldn't be." she said shyly. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) -4- 1 Dorothy Dlx Talks Vt DO HOT T tIX WetU'a Klgbaet raid Weaaaa Wrtsar. Don't Argue 2. Look about you. and vou will never find an arguef who has made a sue eess of life. The people who preach anarchy, discontent, nd rail at the government and society from the tails of carts, and from the cracker boxes around the stoves In country stores, are the arguers who have made fail ures of their own affairs. They were so busy opposing other people, they had no time to do anything for themselves- SociaUy, the arguer is the chief amongterr thousand botes, and we Would go as far to avoid meeting one, face to face, as we would a leper. One person addicted" to disputation, can spoil the Jolliest party for a score ot other people, cr turn the most carefully-planned dinner into cinders, ashes, and dust. For the arguer has an uncanny instinet that makes him or her go for pet enthusiasms, tear your heroes to pieces, and asperse every faith that is sacred and holy to you. It Is In the family circles, however, that the arguer gets in his deadliest work. There let two, of these be left together, and warfare rages from the eoming up of the sun to the going down thereof, and back again. No subjects is too small and Insignificant to fight over, and there is no peace, nor rest, nor happiness under that roof. &uch husbands and wives soon come to hate each other, afheir children have no respeet for them, because, in the heat of the argument, they have heard each make horrible accusations against-the other, and they themselves become little guerillas who fight first on one Side and then on the other, when they are not battling among themselves. If you want, a recipe for makitjg marriage a failure, just argue. It's all that is necessary: And to what end is the argument? Did ou ever know of anybody who was convinced by an argument, or who changed his or her point of view because of one Never. The only re sult of am argument is to bore every listener stiff, and to leave every -one thinking of the arguer with bitter taste in his or her mouth. Nobody loves an arguer. The peo ple We like, and whose society we en Joy, are those who are congeniat With US, who like the same things we like and hold the 3ame views that we hold And what egotism it is to try to force our ideas and ideals on others! How can we be so sure that the mantle of Bolopnon has fallen upon Our shoulders, and that we are wiser than our fellow creatures? How can .we presume to know that our way is bet ter than their way? And even if we do know better. what right have we to deprive another of his individual freedom to live his lire m his own way. and have, and do. the thing he desires, without being badgered about them? The moral of all of which ist'that it is the part of policy, of good sense, of kindliness, and fair play, never to argue, and when we do not skm with others, to -keep our opinions to our- sscivcs, unless mey are asked for. Of course, to ask the arguer to denv him self the pleasure of hearing his own voice is to ask him te make an heroic sacrifice, but it pays.

One of the most inspiring figures in all history still lives' and smiles in a busy manufacturing plant just a little beyond the meadows of New Jersey, where It is said that the mosquito was first discovered. His name is better known than that ot any ruler. It is said that he sleeps less than any man since Napoleon, and works harder than any man before or sinee. His genius and hard work has done more to bring glory into the world than a thousand victorious af-mies. When he wag a boy, he sold papers. Ho also sat long hours at the telegraph key. He was born poor. There was no silver spoon found in his mouth. But In his brain was a regiment of thoughts always on the march! And in his heart was a grade ef determina tion which, if it could hav been pic tured would have resembled the rocks of Olbi-altar. x Thomas Edison never in al! his Jife has learned to spell the word fall.

HOUSE. (freak fhllaaelpola Pablle LaflfAr.) Adelaide, who formerly was willing to listen to the dress rehearsal of her husband's after-dinner speeches at the rate of II iq hour, is now demanding $16 an hour, with time and a half fur overtime, Thus and so a large and vital question is raised. What is ade quate compensation for wives who listen to their husbands' after-dinner speeches and What are the genta who read the column paying? We crave to know, j, Another thoua-ht crosses aur mental vision: Is. this demand on the part of Adelaide due to an organised move ment of bored wives or is it merely the protest of one Woman? Have you heard anything about it In your home? If. however, Mr. Schwab wishes to leave it to us, he is taking it too hard. Besides some things we have heard said of Mr. Schwab, the charge he re futeg ia couched in complimentary vein. The peeking, houses are about to be regulated again. The plan, as we un derstand it, is to give the stock raiser higher prices and, at the same time, lower the cost ef meat to the con sumer. The practicability of the scheme will appeal to a few thinking citizens and to every featherhead In the country. Personally, we do not object to hav-. ing the packing houses regulated, it is unlikely that any damage will be done to anybody, The packing houses have heen rea-ulated before. But we cannot "kid" ourself into the belief that a commodity may be both raised and lowered by one act of legislation. Do not attempt impossibilities. Do not, as an Instance, promise to make a woman happy. When a man prescribes f6r himself he seldom makes it medicine. You can save a lot of argument by admitting that the whale swallowed Jonah. And the matter is one of the least important of the public contro versies. fiim Heckle talks a gdod deal abeut his beautiful furniture. As a matter of fact, the only furniture Him ever bought was an old trunk which Mrs. Heckle desired for use as a tireless cooker.

Wa hesitate to auibbla wltX the esteemed New York American, but we believe it is taking the proposed in crease in New York street ear fares too hard. It is all right to moan over an eight-eent street car fare. We doubt that any such proposed increase Justifies a series of piercing shrieks. We have rib notion as to what, under present conditions, constitutes an ade quate fare-for the services performed by street railway companies. Being a "straphanger," we Wish "to ride as cheaply as possible. But if there is shrieking to be done, we suggest that the innocent Investors who have their money tied up in publio utility stocks be given the first chance at it. That, we know. Is a. very unpopular view, and We shall probably get what we richly deserve for entertaining it. "A short time ago," writes the Kev.

Both games ppomi-se plenty of excitement for the fans. Oakland is stepping strong, in I he high school race, having defeated Horton, a stronar high school team, by a good margin. Topeka highs haven't played up to form so far this season and the dope is slightly in favor of the smaller school- Coach Guy C.

Fifteen minutes after word had been passed to the sport desk that the boxing biU had met its Waterloo, "Kid" Canterberry, of iSt. Joe, a 145-pound fighter, approached the writer, with his manager, and asked for a fight. A minute later "Dummy" Davis, ISO pounder, also- looking for a fight, walked into the office. He also is looking for a fight. In another five minutes. Harper Rigby, a fight fan and promoter, came in and then the argument waxed furious. Davis' doesn't want to fight at that big a handicap. Canterberry offered to train down -to 135, but "Dummy" couldn't see it that way, he wanted to fight a 3 30-133 pounder. In order to get a good look at the pair, Rigby. the "Kids" manager and the writer ad journed to the Y. M. 'C. A., where gloves were procured. The two. stepped three two-minute rounds, and they stepped fast. At 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the "Y," the "Kid" and "Dummy" are going to step off five three-minute rounds, "just to train together" they agreed. Harper Rigby wants to promote the fight and says he can ar range to stay within the Kansas anti fight law. Is there anyone at 145 pounds or under who wants to fight with "Kid" Canterberry, or, anyone at 130 or under, who wants a bout with Davis? Address all communications to the sport -desk.

Farmers, offering to hire ipen at wages below those paid last !ear, are receiving little or no re sponse, according to Shaw, despite the ifcct that 450.000 men are unemployed ih Ohio, as shown in a recent survey li' the United states employment service. t Wiaw's survey of Ohio showed: ijariners need 1B0.000 workers in the ikxt two weeks for spring planting. The striking unemployed, with a wage taste cultivated by war condi tions, refuse to return to the farms tpr less pay than K6U a month and Board. Farmers forced to pay high prices for material and faced with, a declin ing market, see financial losses unless alor is obtainable at pre-war figures, liitst -eur farm workers received a month and board. The unanimous opinion has been reached by farmers individually, ac cording to reports to Shaw, that there will be no profits from the soil this year unless the army of unemployed ceases o be,- epicures of high" wages. Many farmers have removed corn and. wheat from their' jerop rotation plan. A considerable number has aban doned the -land and others will tak to stock raising. To pay wages demanded, farmers de clared, would bring the cost of produc tion above the present market prices. Farm I-abor lMentiful. Washington, eb. 2.

(Copyright, lltti; by the United Preas.) Denver, Colo., Feb. 2. I would far rathep go to jail and rot in a cell than to betray the confidence of a child. The law in the case in which I have been adjudged in contempt of court and sentenced to pay a fine of $500 or spend a year in jail, gives but two alternatives: To betray such a con fidence or pay the penalty. I have made my choice and will go to jail. And if the same situation should ever arise again I should not hesitate to make the same choice. Hoy' Told Ilim Truth. In the midst of our work in the juvenile court here, there came, a mysterious murder. A woman was said to have killed her husband. Her small son surprised the authorities by suddenly appearing and declaring that he, not his mother, committed' the crime. They said the boy was a liar. They brought him to me as an expert in truth and falsehood. I got the truth out of that boy by lifting the spell of fear promising I would not betray his confidence. But a well meaning prose cuting attorney in his zeal to prosecute the mother, called me as a witness to impeach the testimony of the boy which had acquitted the mother. I refused o betray the boy con fidence. 1 could only claim the privi lege I had contended for: that this eonidence should be respected by the courts m the interest of truth and jus tice. (in illy or Contempt. The lower court disagreed with me; f wa found guilty of contempt. On appeal to the supreme court of Col orado, four out of seven judges held lhat technically I should have be trayed the child. Three, in dissent ing, held as I contended.

W1LLARD BOUT POSTPONED A petition to the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, at their meet ing Monday night, to do all in their power to make the freat l&kes Naval training station, the headquarters for trade schools, resulted in directions to Guy C. Sickler, secretary of the cham ber, to write congressman from Kan sas and ask their support of the naval bill now being fought out in the house and eenate at .Washington. W. Shappert, of Chicago, who is fostering the bill, wrote to George Mc Dermott. president of the local cham ber, asking him to give his support, and the support of the chamber, on the following measures. To ask that the nayal trade schools be permanently located at the Great Lakes Training station, on account of location, facilities, and school build ings. To demand that congress ac cept the recommendation from the general board of the navy to keep the personnel at the 143,000 mark in or der to properly and adequately man the fleet. In his letter to McDermott Shappert stressed the fact that the three naval trade schools at the Great Lakes. th radio, aviation and hospital schools consist of about 9.000 boys and that the constant changing ot positions is destructive to morale, and also drains I tne expe-nses.ot tne government neen- lessly. He further asserts that the record of the late, war, om the naval j side, shows that the boys from the, Mississippi valley made- better ma-1 terial for sea-faring men than the boys from the coast town. "Several officers at the station point with pride to the fact that the boys 'graduated from the Great Lakes sta tion are entirely free from radicalisb or tendencies in that direction," Shap pert wrQte, "and to further strengthen the suggestion I make, Admiral Washington, chief of the bureau navigation, is-personally in favor concentrating the trade schools to tho Great Lakes station. I will appre-1 r-inte it if your Chamber of Commerce will take decisive and immediate ae- tion in this n.atter by writing to your1 national senators and representatives' and Jui gim; them to support the pas- i sage ot" both theisp measures."

Declares Powers of World Will Listen to Hardine. Washington. Feb. 2. A warning against pacifism and unpreparedness was given the house naval committee today by General Pershing, who ap peared to discuss world disarmament. While expressing approval of the proposal lor a world disarmament conference the former commander of the American expeditionary forces said the United States should go ahead with its present navy and army pro grams until a definite agreement had been reached by at least the five great world powers. Pershing aiso expressed the opinion that world powers will receive very favorably a call fror President-elect Harding f.r this conferirnce. He made light of reports that Germany has a heavy hidden strength and said H was unlikely that she can start an other war soon. Continuing. Pershing indicated that while he favored disarmament he did not believe the great powers could take the step immediately. The United States cannot disarm un til other nations take the step, he said. 1'rance cannot afford to disarm now he added. "ot Safe to Disarm Now. "It would not be safe for tier to do until the German treaty conditions are fulfilled. France is standing Huard in Europe. Other nations should not expect her to reduce her strength very much at this time." Pershing 'added that England can not safely reduce her military and naval strength immediately bee. use of l he unsettled world conditions. How ever, be said, efforts should be made at once to bring about a conference that in a few years may bring about reductions in naval and military strength. "The United States is in a better condition to take the lead to bring xbout disarmament than any other na tion. because we have no aggressive Jnlicies," he said. "However, we must not allow our selves to drift into a pacifist frame of mind. None of "us want war. bflt we must be prepared for it if it comes." Fershing pointed out that the cen tury of peaceful relations between the L'Mited States and Britain shows what the powers of the world can do if they wiJI. "A war between the United States and England is hardly conceivable." he said. "With that lesson before us. an armament redaction meeting of the nations ought to be entered into very hopefully." "Would you admit Japan, in view of her agreement with England?" asked Representative Britten, p Of course." replied Pershing em phatically. "All the peoples must .come into the meeting."' N'eeu Civilians at Parley. Pershing said civilians as well as army and navy men should represent al! -nations at the conference. "Military men might not be disposed to yield points so easily as civilians,', he explained. "It is time for enlightened people the world over to realize that some ra tional agreement must be reached to relieve the world of its great military burden and to prevent future wars." he continued. "If we can once get the nations together, their representatives around a table, some agreement may beueaohed."

Today, such a practice; would be con sidered so wasteful as to be criminal. The modern viewpoint does not tolerate waste in any phase of the oil industry. For many years the Standard Oil Com--nanv- (Indiana. has been- in-the4ead.f those forces which sought economy ana maximum emciency m the Tefining of petroleum. .This Company wag convinced that reap ing methods were susceptible ofjeontm uous improvement; it believed that with every year of experience, more gasoline might be produced from the crude -oil. In furtherance of this idea of continually increasing' efficiency, the Company; in stalled the-best laboratory equipment obtainable, and employed the most ex- 1ert petroleum chemists. From these aboratories, has come, among other notable improvements, the famous Bur ton process, Jto increase the yield of gas oline from the crude, without sacrifice of quality. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is so organized that it is responsive to new ideas, both social and industrial. Its policy is flexible. It does not operate by rule of thumb. The very foundation of its ability to be of such fundamental service to society Kes in its recognition of the value of a close alliance between industry and science. It has developed an organization which fits smoothly into the machineryof social progress. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is guided by men who represent in their points of view the aspirations and der terminations of the new world in which we live. These men; .Directors of the Company, conceive their tasjc to be that of guiding the industry in accordance with modern ideas of fairness and -justice. These men possess both the experience derived from long intimacy with petroleum problems, and the fore sight to anticipate the future with its constantly-changing industrial values and economic needs.

Harry Wolf, of the Bank of Topeka, escaped dath by a narrow margin in Karma City Tuesday when he was ordered ly a hold up man to "fork out" in broad daylight and on a busy street. Wolf was walking along the street. He noticed a man just ahead of him who seemed to be blocking his path. As he started to go around him the man turned quickly and pushed a revolver into Wolfs overcoat. "Shell out, bo. Fhell, out!" the man ordered in an undertonp. Wolf was frightened at the sudden request and jumped backward into the treet. The robber in turn lost his nerve and. shoving his revolver into hi. pocket, ran up an ally. JVlice officers told Wolf later that It w;is a narrow escape. "These hold tip mi'ii are vicious. If you don't fork up they usually shoot." officers said. .NOT SAFE IV Y. M. C. A.

Modern Girls Misunderstood, Claims Hygiene Ass 'n Head Such a Thing As a Modest Young: Woman Still Does Exist Unintelligent Mothers Too Often to Blame. New York. Feb. 2. There was a day, so it is said, when young women were not a constant mark for the re former's arrows: when dress was maidenly, demeanor modest, and wife ly service a soon acquired virtue. It is not too far gone to be recalled. Mrs. Marthi P. Falconer believes. She is the director of the social pro tective measures .department of the American Social Hygiene association. She believes in early marriages, do mestic training and many of the old day standards. Only "The girl of today is too often mis understood," this woman of wide so cial service would have it known Mrs. Falconer is better known thru out the country than in New York city. She ea me here in November. 1 91 0, resigning her post as head of the Pennsylvania state reformatory for girls to take up this work. School the Place. Frankly she gave these opinions, gleaned from her great experience, upon which she bases her present work: "I would find the girl who may cause trouble before the courts find her. I would try to understand her and supply the wanting elements to develop her normally and naturally. "The place for this work is in the school. New York is enabled to reach them there especially well because of the close contact the schools keep with all the girls of the city. "I believe in early marriages. By that I do not mean marriage at the age of sixteen, but marriage at the age of twenty or thereabouts, rather than at twenty-seven. Tliis will supply a field for the girls ambitions and en ergy and enable her to grow up and develop along with her husband. She will be a younger mother and of thai 1 approve. Cure for .Straying. "I have made -it my business to find out why the misunderstood girl so often lands in the court or house of correction. One is a mother unable to comprehend her; often a stepmoth er of this sort. Another, employment hated by tre girl. Stilt another, sub normal mentality. "For a long time we have expected too much of our mentally deficient. "If you ask rhe for the surest cure of such straying, I. will say. for boy and girl alike, an earlv marriage. But cannot think of anything more need- eu uy socieiy man meaicai examina tion before marriage both for the boy and the girl. I do not mean examina tion for dreaded disease, but for gen eral physical and mental condition. "The marriage relation will have more chance of being lasting if the Mrs. Martlia P. "Falconer. girl has learned the most economical way of canning, of cooking, how to darn, sew, make an apple pie fit to eat. and run her home on a budget. "The unintelligent mother must be helped. It is better to be safe than sorry. "Society, with loving motherhood, must rise up and defend its unadjust ed girl for the sake of economy in the finest material of all, human mater ial." CALL FOR DISHES FOR POOR TopeJcans Need Household Equipment, Provident Secretary Says. Eating from tin cans, and paper bags, because there are no dishes, means a picnic to most people. But it doesn't mean a picnic to two Topeka families. r It means that tTfey have no other way to eat. Not only have they no "dishes, but they have no table in either family. In one of the families a table wouldn't help much, for there are no chairs to use around the table. "Because I believe that the regular family meal, properly cooked and served, is ext.'emly important to the welfare ofthe family. I must get the tables, chairs and dishes for tftose families." Miss Virginia .Campbell, sec retary of the Provident association, said today. "There are none of those things in our furniture store room and I shall have to depend upon donations to help the families. I will be very glad to hear of anyone who has tables, chairs or dishes, particularly cups and saucers to offer." The housing situation is acute in Topeka for families of the poorer classes. Miss Campbell said. She said that she knew of several large families livinc in one or two furnished rooms .who would like to rent a house if one could be found for rent within their means, probajdy for fifteen do 'ars or Ices.- HELD UP IN OWN OFFICE H.

Asia and Track Work a Specialty Machinists Electric Co. 108 WEST EIGHTH ST. PHONE 634 For Particular Welding Jobs For Mechanical Electrical Work BY J. W. T. MASON. (Written for tUe United Press.) New York. Feb. 2. Berlin's pro test against the indemnity f'xed by'the allies is only the usual German blus ter. The cumulative evidence of Ger many's astonishing recovery in foreign trade demonstrates the German peo ple can pay the just penalty which has been imposed upon them. Without any publicity, the Germans have been quietly developing their overseas commerce since the armistice so successfully that they are aspiring to new high records for foreign In dustrial conquest. During the first five months of last year Germany ex norted more than twenty-three bil lion marks worth of goods, which is nearly two and one-half times as much as her exports for the entire year of 1919. Trade War Now On. German manufactures of all kinds are being sent to almost every part of the world. British working men are protesting against German rivalry even in British home markets. There is mifch alarm in Holland and Scan dinavia at the influx of German goods. German machinery, cutlery, toys, musical instruments, chemicals and other goods are being forced in large quantities into South America German shipyards are working at top speed turning out new vessels. German shipping interests are now serving every part of the world ex cept the Far East and eastern Africa, either by direct German services or in collaboration with foreign steamship lines. Banks Are Prosperous. The German Overseas bank recently declared a dividend of 30 per cent.' New German companies are constant ly being formed to exploit fresh fields of trade. Germany is even entering the troubled areas of the NearjEast. A company has just been capitalized at twenty million marks In Munich, to- develop the tobacco industry in Turkey. Greece and Asia Minor. There is less unemployment today in Germany than there is in Great Britain. German traveling salesmen are seeking orders in the most remote parts of the earth to keep home indus tries at work. In Russia, pioneer German drummers are preparing for tne ine vua oie time wnen the Russian people will become the world's great- j est consumers of foreign made goods. Despite all this evidence of immedi- j ate recovery and the indications of' unprecedented overseas trade expan-1 sion in the future, Germany is making a beggar's plea to the allies. If the allies can afford to throw their markets open to German goods, Germany will be-able to pay the in demnity without danger of bank ruptcy. FIVE NEW PRESS CX,VB MEMBERS Oyster Stew Was Main Feature of Meeting Tuesday Night, The membership roll of the Topeka Press club was lengthened by five names Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the club, when Tom O'Mara, of the Associated Press; Rep resentative W. M. Gibbons, of Meade county; J. W. Johnson, of the Capper Publications; E. Houghout, of Onaga, and Frank Frost, of Eskridge, were elected to membership. The president and secretary submit ted reports on the midnight frolic which was held by the Press club for the entertainment of the Kansas edi tors last week, as arguments for the immediate payment of back dues by the members. There was oyster stew on the culi nary program, which drew more atten tion than the reports or the oincers. Frank Jarrell, the new president, advanced the money for the purchase of cigars for the club, according to previous announcements. EXTEND LEGISLATIVE SESSION. Senator Flnley Favors Making Longer Term for Lawmakers. Extension of the Kansas legislative session to 100 days or more was rec ommended by Senator James W. Fin ley, of Neosho, before the Co-operaitve club Tuesday night. The present law limiting the session to fifty days with pay was passed when the state- popu lation was 200,000, he said. The pres ent population of 1.700,000 justifies a longer term, he declared. Senator Alfred Docking was also a speaker and guest of the club. Sev eral new members were voted in. The club voted to get behind the Boy Scout drive for $10,000 Thursday. CRGES stcdy op history. Be American Legion Asks That.' It Made Compulsory in Schools. As a part of the Americanization program, the Kansas department of the American Legion will urge legisla tion to make the study of American history and civics compulsory in alt puDlic and private schools. Now, it is said,, the study of these subjects is general, but there are some schools in which it is elective and from which a student may be graduated without knowledge of their essentials. The movement is national in scope and is under the direction of Henry J. Ryan, chairman of the Americanism Commission of the Legion. Ryan de clares that the educational institutions of the United States are turning out raduates better versed in the history of Greece and Rome than in that of their own country. "Uniform legisla tion is now being prepared by the na tional headquarters specifically requir- the stucV of American history and civics in all schools. BIG REWARD WAS OFFERED. Cliicago Police Now Hold Suspected Bank Bandits. Chicago Feb. 2. Four suspects are held by police today in connection with the daring daylight robbery of the Kenwood Trust and Saving bank yesterday. Officials of the bank said the amount obtained by the robbers might reach $50,000. altho last night it had been estimated that it would not ex ceed $30,000. The bank is fully protected by in surance, a reward of $5,000 was offered for the arrest of the bandits. SKYSCRAPERS FOR GERMANY Housing: Situation Threatens to Start Skyline Race With New York. Berlin, Feb. 2. Agitation for the construction of "sky scrapers" has started in virtually every city in Ger many, where for many months the housing problem has taxed the in genuity of city officials, relief work ers and flat dwellers. Architects have drawn specifica tions for buildings to rival the tallest Wolkenkratzer" in New York and Sanitary and hygienic authorities are lecturing on the probable effect of high buildings, darkened streets and congested business and residence cen ters. Berlin and Munich have displayed most interest in the proposal. The agitation has been carried on inten sively in Berlin, where there is a great shortage of rooming houses. Build ings in German cities were limited un der the old regime to a uniform height. Few are more than four stories high. The tallest business building in Berlin is only five stories. A Brain Can't Work Right on Thin, Watery Blood It takes iron to make strong, magnetic, forceful men with the power and energy to win. MERRITT PLEADS GUILTY. Former Cashier of Grove State Bank To Be Sentenced Saturday. Raymond Merritt former cashier of the Grove State bank, pleaded guilty to embezzling funds of the bank be fore Judge George Whitcomb Tuesday afternoon. Sentence was deferred un til Saturday. Another charge against Merritt of passing an alleged worth less check for $300 on the Kansas Re serve State bank probably will be dis missed, it was said. Many a capable intelligent man falls just short of success nearly "gets there" but not quite simply because he lacks sufficient iron in his blood to give him the physicat strength and power to furnish the proper FORCE TO HIS BRAIN and the "STAY THERE" STRENGTH TO HIS "WILL."
