Major Operation Ifear Dublin JTow Threatened. TROUBfE MAY DIVIDE IRELAND Home Rule Plans Being Urged by British. Fiscal Autonomy Frize for Ac ceptance Is Rumor. Dublin, Feb. 7. A major Sinn Fein offensive against British forces In Dublin la expected this week. Assuming the aggressive in this region last week, Sinn Feiners precipi tated battles in which fourteen lost their lives and at least sixteen per sons were wounded. Sinn Fein lead ers were reported determined to force Great Britain into a declaration of martial law for the city, believing it Will help their cause politically. British Are Ready. British representatives declared they welcomed Sinn Fein activity a bring ing the conflict to a head, making cer tain it will be terminated more quickly. Developments last week included in creased aggressiveness hy the Sinn Feiners. with announcements that they wore prepared to go to even greater lengths: further application of official reprisals by British) forces, and advice by Catholic leaders, led by Bishop Cohalan to accept "some rule as a starting off ground .cw Reprisal Rule. A new form of reprisal was adopted by the British when they rounded up ail men of military age in Queenstown, tolled them off into squads, assign- j ing them numbers and dates. Each squad will be responsible for informa- j tion regarding any Sinn Fein attack i on crown forces in that region on the date assigned it. Punishment for fail ure to obey the order was not an nounced but it was hinted that prop erty reprisal would follow. Property reprisal, the burning 'of property, following ambushes, was practiced last week at Skibbereen and Rossarbcrry. The increased stubborness of Sinn Fein leaders in Dublin was shown here Saturday night when three bat tles were provoked in the heart of the city, rearuless of the fact that host ages wttre chained -in the lorries at tacked. A 4-vear-old boy was the only victim of ail the fighting In which hundred of persons were stam peded from the streets. Urge lrWi Division. Humors are circulating in Dublin today in regard to fresh effort -the povernment is reported to miking to effect a settlement wi t -them Ireland. The belief is that an important development -y come to light when parliament reconvened. Aocording to one report, the gov ernment is trying to bring the Ulster leaders Into line with a well formu lated scheme to persrade the south to areept the partition provided for in the home rule act and work under It. This version of the reputed plans has it that the prize to be offered for ac ceptance is a grant of full fiscal au tonomy to both sections of Ireland. This would be coupled, so far as the souih is concerned, with an offer to re! ear y the political prisoners and rant amnesty to Irish republicans generally, including members of the I rich republican army and even men "qjti the run." Negotiations to this end tare now proceeding, it is Ha id, between Mr. Ijloyd George, the prime minister, and Sir .Edward Carson. ITlster leader in the British parliament. Concessions Are Planned. Other concessions are. said to be rontemplated particularly with regard to the amount of taxes payable to Kngland under the next act. It is generally understood that the attempts made by Sir Jlamar Green wood, chief secretary for Ireland, to secure the nomination of candidates for the proposed southern parliament ha,ve thus far signally failed. Sir Kamar, who usually is easily approach hie by the press has during the last three weeks, resolutely refused to give interviews. Representatives of the S'in Fein have refused to treat the reported scheme seriously, saying that until some concrete, bona fide proposals had actually been made they would not waste, their time in speculation. Prominent nationalists, when their views were sought in the same con nection, said they had no douht that a concession of fiscal automony would go far toward satisfying the Jrlsh people's demands for indepen dence and itf offered in a generous spirit would greatly weaken the posi tion of the Sinn Fein if the republican parliament should reject it.

A preliminary meeting of the oil men of the state, with some 200 in at tendance, is being held at the -Cham ber of Commerce this afternoon, in preparation for the public hearing on the proposed Hegler bill for the regu- lation of the pollution of streams and wells by waste products of oil wells. This latter hearing, at which the oil and gas committees of both the sen ate and the house; the oil men and their representatives; city- officials; state officials charged with the regu lation of the oil industry, and mem eJnjj I bera of tho attorney general's staff be present, will open at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the supreme court room. The oil men are preparing their side of the case for presentation to the legislator, at the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. Oil men from all over the state are attending. -In addition to discussing' the -proposed Hegrer bill 'the oil men are in quiring into the recent sudden drop In the price of crude oil, which has de clined some J 1.50 a barrel in the past few weeks. Some of them are inclined to place the blame on. the pipeline companies, who, they charge, have not done their duty in the transportation of the oil as it has been produced from the wells. Formation of a state association of oil producers is one of the things which is being taken up by the oil men in their meeting this afternoon. There is no such organization which is function ing efficiently at the present time, anu Bagdassar Keokor Baghdigian, secre tary of the Iola chamber of commerce. has taken the lead in calling the men connected with the industry together today to discuss tho oil situation and to oppose the Hegler bill.

LABOR AND MONEY These Are ?feeds of Hallways Today, Says W. B. Storey. President of Santa Fe Gites Conditions to Legislature. HE EXPLAINS CAR SHORTAGE Western Roads Sow Getting Their Equipment Back. Roads to Retain Better Class of labor in the Future. Vtews of W. B. Storey, president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company, on the railroad question in general and the recent car shortage in particular have been brought to the attention of the Kansas legislature by W. R. Smith, solicitor of the company. In his statement President Storey gives an outline of what happened during the. 26 months of federal control of the railroads, dis cusses the present situation and tells what may be expected in the future. "The business of the country," he says, "had increased enormously dur ing federal control and the number of frefght-ton miles per mile of road had increased faster than they had ever done in a like period in the his tory of the roads. "No adequate steps had been taken to meet this growth in business. The government, in devoting all its en ergies to war measures, postponed until the war could be finished such things as cars, locomotives, and the necessary improvement to take care of these. The owners of the roads that is, the corporations could not provide the necessary additions as they, not knowing how long the government would keep the roads, had no credit and could not raise any funds. 'The existing equipment of the roads was not in as good condition as before the war, because the rail- road administration believed it good DOIyJ f" a" and, L"?"!1 pairs, the result being a very marked deterioration of cars. Then again, cars were pooled which means that all cars. Irrespective of ownership, were sent to all parts of the country which accounts for. the large number not as good as those of western lines LI1- UHIIUIlllg S1". BV.ILCI over the western territory Loss in Labor Efficiency. The labor of the railroads had been on an eight-hour basis and its efficiency had suffered greatly. This is not stated as a criticism, but as a fact. Other classes of business had the same experience-- The rati roadsv-- 'however,- fotrnd themselves very short -of men, and, circumscribed by rules that had been adopted by the government administration, they were not able to get the same results from the- same number of men aa formerly. "All cars in the country had been widely scattered because of the han dling of the roads as one system and to the coal strike which occurred last winter. The railroad administration, which had been given charge of prop erly distributing what coal was on hand, sent cars out from their usual routes, and many of those belonging to the extreme east landed in the ex treme west. After the strike was over it had been found impracticable to get these cars home. Costs Go Up. "And lastly, the cost of everything connected with running the railroads had increased, both labor and mater ial, to such a degree that the income that was being received by the gov ernment was not equal to the cost of the service performed. "The public had, during the war, been up against these difficulties, but it recognized them as due to the war After the armistice it looked for a bet- iterment, but none came. It became Problem could be more nearly" met by the transportation .returning the roads to their owners, and therefore, passed the transportation act of 1920, designed to 'overmenfs hands and at the same time to estab lish conditions that would rectify the faults that were known to exist In the old laws.

Leader of Gang Claimed Victim as His Wife. White Plains, N. T.. Feb. 7. Four teen armed men abducted Miss Anna- King here at midnight after a gun' fight in which one woman was slight ly wounded. Miss King, who was a guest in the home of Mr.-.and Mrs. Lewis Albohns, was dragged from her bed by the men. The whole party escaped in two automobiles. One member of the gang was a woman. The leader of the party told AJ? bohns" that Miss King was his wife". No trace of the kidnapers had been found up to noon today. The attack on the Albohns house evidently was carefully planned. Telephone wires were cut. The four-; teen men and one woman surround ed the house at midnight and bgan pounding cm the doors. The leader, when Albohns opened a window, yelled at him to surrender "my wife. Miss King." The men, evidently knowing the house, ran to the King girl's bedroom. The door was locked. They beat it down. The girl was huddled in bed. They dragged her out, wrapped her night gown around her head, muffled her screams in a. blanket and bore her to the front door despite her fran tic struggles. The party escaped in two automo biles before neighbors were aroused. The girl is believed to have been car ried to a hiding place in the Bronx where the Albohns and Miss King for merly lived. Warns Against Too Much Reform In Men 9s Affairs Representative Murray Fears That Men May Become Mollycoddles If Some Proposed Laws Are Passed, He Favors Measures to Compel Women to Chop -Off High Heels, Throw Away Corsets' and Quit Painting Their Faces. If some of the reform bills Intro duced in the present session of the leg islature are enacted.. Representative Robert J. Murray of Arkansas City fears that men may become molly coddles. In an open letter to his con stituents, following receipt of numer ous petitions urging various measures, he warns against the danger of too much regulation of men's affairs. May Chop Off High Heels. "If the women don't stop trying to reform men and make a bunch of mollycoddles out of us," h writes, "we are going to compel them to chop off their high heels, throw away their corsets, desist from painting their mugs and put on sufficient clothes to conform with their puritanical ideas that they insist on fastening upon an enchained mankind. This class of leg islation Is getting to be fierce and I believe in both sexes getting back to puritan practices and not confining it to mere man.

Topeka city water is in a very satis factory condition from a bacteriologi cal standpoint, the state board of health laboratory at Lawrence report ed today to the city board of health. The rept Was made after examina tion of samples sent by the city board of health last week. "The water from several points has a high turbidity which .makes it ob jectionable to sight," the report said, but added that the "turbidity proved not to be from bacteriological cause. A chemical analysis of the water is now being made.

Representative Murray personally favored the Finley boxing law which was killed in the senate and he still has hope that Eome measure will be put thru modifying the present drastic anti-boxing law. He opposed the bill proposing to close all public pool halls which was killed in committee. "The poo! .hall is a public club room," he said, "and if you. close them, you will drive their patrons to secret organisations and remove them from the sight of the police and the public and encourage violation of the law. We have local option now as concerns pool balls and if any community wishes, it can close them up.

Another post ponement of the employes' special re ply to the railroad request for abroga tion of the national agreements was granted today by the United ptates railroad labor board over the protest of railway executives. Thursday, Feb ruary 10, is now set by the board as the day on which the labor men will present the delayed message. When Gen. W. W.

The board set last Thurs day as the time for Jewell's appear ance and on his request ordered a postponement to today. E. T.

"Three great fields are practically as yet undiscovered, and the college and university students of today are to discover and explore them the so cial realm, the physical realm, and the mental." said Chancellor B. H. Lind ley, of Kansas university, in an address to the students of Washburn college at chapel services this morning. The ad dress was the first on the program of the celebration of the fifty-sixth birth day of the school. Chancellor Lindley dwelt at length upon the possibilities of discovery and aid in these three great fields, and compared the infancy of them to the daring of Captain Schroeder of the United States air forcesr who climbed 15,000 feet into the atmosphere. "Captain Schroeder was a pioneer In his way." said Lindley, "and you stu dents are to be the pioneers In your way. Don't let your Job press you. you press it." The speaker emphasized the need for concentration of effort In the. un dertakings of lite, and advised a con stant attention to the study of eco nomic conditions of the present day. An audience of approximately 400 students, alumni and faculty ot. the college, heard the address. At 6:30 o'clock tonight a banquet will be held at the Masonic temple for the college students and faculty. Classes of the college are holding a contest for the most perfectly decor ated table. After the banquet the students will go to the chapel building at Wash burn, where stunts will be presented by the following organizations ot the college: The Pht Delta Theta frater nity, the Alpha Phi and Delta Gamma sororities, and the Helianthus, a scholarship organization. The prize for the best of these students is to be a loving cup, donated by the college authorities. The four bodies have been working hard In their efforts to please the public and rumor has it that the stunts are to be very good.

STRIKE ORDER IN CONTEMPT Attorney General Makes Appll cation for Warrant. New Sympathy Walkout by the Miners Is Expected. Pittsburg. Kan., Feb. 7. Charging that District President Alexander Howat and cabinet members of the United Mine Workers called a strike of two hundred coal miners in viola tion of the Kansas industrial court' law. Attorney General Hopkins today asked District Judge Curran for an attachment against those officials. Presentation of evidence was then started by the state. If Judge Curran issues an attachment, date for trial will be set. The United Mine Work- era" officials cited by Hopkins are: Alexander Howat, district president: A. Dorcey, vice president; Thomas Harvey, secretary and treasurer. Rob. ert Foster, auditor, and members of -the executive board. New Walk-Out Expected. If the action started by Hopkins re sults in Howat and associates again being sent to Jail, the miners in this district may again walk out in an un- official protest strike as they did a year ago when their leaders were locked up for contempt-of court Investigation today by Hopkins' and assistants was understood to have de- velooed rnnrlnalv.lu Li, J .l ana cabinet" ordered the strike.

Judga Reed and Attorney Jackson of the in dustrial court, came here from Topeka to see whether Howat had violated the law In connection with a strike of 100 miners at Scammon and Cherokee. The strike resulted from a controversy over the age of a young miner. Locally, the strike was considered a'' challenge to the state. But the state oruciais win investigate before taking any action. Local minem were inclined to hold that the strike did not come under .m..a,, u. me muustriai court as neither the health, comfort or safety of tbe people of the state could be menaced by any kind of a coal strike' now because of the mild winter and the surplus of coal supply laid up in the state. They pointed to a decision by the industrial court some time ago that a partial shutdown of Kansas flour mills did. not come Under court jurisdiction because by running only part time, the mills could more than supply flour needs of Kansas. llOWflt im nAW nut An an appeal to the United States district couri irom a jail sentence confirmed by the Kansas supreme court for re fusing to nbev an .v.. i ''al court to appear before It and ex plain some oi nis actions In connec tion with strikes. TO MEET HOWAT WhateTer His Game, State Will Meet It. He Is Trying to Discredit Court, Says Allen. Whatever the game of Alexander Howat, the state will meet It. accord ing to a statement today by Governor Allen. The governor asserted that in his opinion Howat is seeking to dis credit the Kansas industrial court law in states where similar enactments are under consideration. Howat's recent call for a strike In the Pittsburg coal field is being invea. tigated by the state. Governor Allen said every effort would be made by the state to maintain industrial peace in the mining district. "Industrial court bills have been In troduced in Iowa, Nebraska. Okla homa, Texas. Colorado and Washing ton," said the governor. "It seems Howat Is attempting to block passage In these states by showing that tha law is a failure In Kansas. "Since the creation of the Industrial court a year ago, the Pittsburg dis trict has had absolute industrial peace. I believe the sentiment there is that this peace should continue.

CONCESSIONS Colombia and Costa Rica Gas i celed British Holdings. (Yanks 'ow Control 80 Per Cent World's Oil Supply. London, Feb. 7. The "ruthlessness" (of the struggle between American 'and European interests for control of the world's oil supply is causing great international bitterness "when every-

.one should know this f.gbt can best be settled by strictly business mei- Tods," an official of the Anglo-Persian Oll company declared today. The Anglo-Persian group, controlled ?L JTZfV?..?. ing support of the American govern rn mint in Its efforts at world domination -.of the petroleum situation, i Are Grabbing Concessions. 1 "As an example of the Standard M's agility." this official said, "it baa Just grabbed off in Colombia con- -cessions to an extremely ricn on rieia Vf two million acres. t. "This was accomplished by forcing 'the Colombian government to cancel a British concession obtained by Lord Cowdry. who, co-operating with the Hoyal Bank of Canada, accomplished the 'missionary work' in the Colom bian fields. The American govern ment is tbe most powerful influence io Colombia." C -In other quarters of British oil cir cles, there are broad Aits that the same maneuver was accomplished in Costa Rica, where the government of that country is alleged to have been in duced to cancel a British concession on holdings totalling six thousand square miles in a particularly rich field. British Make Denial. Officials of the Anglo-Persian com pany flatly denied their concern has been or will be amalgamated with the Royal Dutch-Shell group to fight the Standard Oil for world supremacy. They said that the only conection be tween the two corporations is in an agreement of long standing whereby the Royal Dutch refines a major por tion of the Anglo-Persian crude prod uct. This agreement expires in 1922. The Anglo-Persian, they say. Is now constructing a huge refinery in South Wales to handle its own oils. "Inquiries regarding such an amal gamation have been made frequently of late," said on official. "We do not know who is circulating the re port. Obviously, the Standard Oil would be most affected by such a con solidation, which would create the greatest oil company in the world greater even than the Standard." -t It was pointed out that at present American oil concerns are producing about 80 per cent of the world's out put while the British are producing enly 4 per cent, with undeveloped re sources about equally divided between the opposing groups.

Victoria. with President-elect Hard ing's Darty aboard was put. on a leis urely schedule again today, and prob ably will not complete her cruise VP the coast to St. Augustine until noon tomorrow. The Victoria spent last night at an chor twenty miles south of Ormond and altho her skipper thoucht he could reach his destination by night fall if no stops were made, the vaca tion party decided a forced run was unnecessary and arranged to come ashore here for a game of golf. A short stop also was made at Day tona to pick up mail and telegrams. LABOR AND MONEY (Continued from Psge Oc- have organized a committee which represents all the ra.iroaas In the country and with wnicn the inter- asiaie coJ:rtc. i-" band in addition have provided a groin Qoperatint men whoEe duty it is wo pkeep track of the cars in the country tand to direct movement from points fwhere there are more cars than are Jneeded to points -where there is a ShrtaKe- Better Car Service.

The average number of miles every !car was moved daily was increased from 22.S miles in February, 1820, to .27.4 miles in August. An increase of tone mile per day is equivalent to an Rncrease of 100,000 in the car supply of the country. The increase noted, ktherefore, means th same as an ad- Idition of 610,000 cars to the total supply. The railroads are also en deavoring to Increase the loading per car. This increase has amounted to one and a half Jons' from February to August, which means nearly .110,000 more cars. "The results of the Increases in effi ciency of operation are reflected in the volume of freight handled. In March the railroads moved 37,990 million tons of freight one mile. Mostly be cause of the switchmen's strike, this was reduced to 28,500 million tons in April. From that month a steady in crease took place until in August, 42,000 million tons' were moved one mile, this being the largest amount of freight service ever rendered by the railways of the United States In any month in their history up to that time. In July, August, September, and Octo ber the railways handled more freight than ever handled in the same months of any previous year. It is believed that these figures fully answer the criticisms that have been made. and they account for the fact that cars are now available where before they were lacking- Money Must Be Raised. "It must be remembered, however. that the country is growing and the needs of transportation are continually increasing. The only way to perma nently take care of the farmer is to add to the present facilities. This, in turn, takes capita! and in large quan- titiesl Money must be raised and this can only be done if the. investors of the nation are sure that they can get proper returns on the capital Invested. This does not mean the bankers and capitalists, but the man with a few hundred dollars to invest wno is iook inir for a safe return. There must. therefore, be established a feeling-that investments in railroads are reasonably safe. When this is done, tbe necessary cars, locomotives, and all additional facilities can be secured. The Labor Situation. 'There is one more element that must be considered and that is-labor. The law requires that disputes shall be referrred to a labor board. This should help to prevent strikes and to that extent will aid the transporta tion question as a whole. On the other hand, certain conditions are es tablished by the government adminis tration that will be hard to get away from and which will prevent an eco nomical handling of many things. An eight-hour day has been established. which means more men for the same amount of repairs, more shop room and more tools. Again, rules have been established that require a pipe fitter to do certain work, a machinist to do other work, a boilermaker to perform other tasks, and In many cases a helper for each of these, when in the old days one man would do all the work necessary on an engine. These rules have been thus far contin ued by the labor board and because they have the force of legislation be hind them. It Is going to be almost Im possible to overcome them. In addi tion, all payments on the basis of the work actually accomplished have been done away with, with the result that men are now doing only about two thirds of the work they formerly per? formed In. the same time. This last condition may be helped greatly when the supply of men becomes greater. At present it 4s necessary to retain everybody the inefficient as well as the efficient but it is hoped that with more man the roads may be able to pick the better workers and this in turn will bring up the standard of the whole."

MAY CAUSE SPLIT IN HOUSES Another-Special Message May Be Issued by Governor. Compensation Bill Due in the Upper House This Week. Before the end ef the present week; the state administration will doubtT less be able to determine the element of success which it will have with the Kansas legislature. Both houses started today on the fifth week of the session. Before them are a number of bills in- which there is much state wide interest. The course of the leg islature as affecting the industrial court split and the shakeup of state departments will probably define in a large measure the reception which will be given Governor Allen's general policies. To Tes Strength. The mere action of the legislature in seemingly slipping thru the court divorce bill didn't mean as much as might seem at first glance. The house has already til in the bill which must be removed In conference or stand as a bar to some yei-iecuy gooa so.buo jobs for laymen. Strength of the administration, as well as us ability at political maneuvering may ne tested, in removing those sec- tions without arousine a licn,h. The house amendments require of court appointees the same qualifica tions defined for Justices of the su preme court. There is every probabilitv that th court fight will be finally disposed of in a few days. The house and senate conferees will try to iron out the trou ble which the house put In the divorce Til ,Tue8day the house will go fur ther into the home rule policy which Frank L. Martin recommended for the public utilities commission bill. May Be Split In House and Senate. That there may be a split between the house and senate ways and means committees is one of the probabili ties of the session. The two houses were unable to agree on the old pol icy or aividing the work. For many years tbe senate ways and means com mittee originated bills for certain in dustrial institutions and departments. The house took the remaining work. Then the house adopted the' senate recommendations and the house pro posals were accepted In the senate But this year both houses will act on their own bills. There is already evidence of a clash. A big gap exists as to the generosity which house members display toward state Insti tutions and the state, aid which the committee from the senate proposes. The first break may come on the boys' industrial school at Topeka.

Neither have appeared in the legislature. May Issue Special Message. Governor Allen may send a special message to the legislature this week urging laws for carrying out of pro visions of the farm tenantry amend ment. It is quite certain, tho, that he will wait until the industrial court bills are disposed of before asking for ten antry action. The governor is known to strongly favor the dormitory plan. Whether this will be discusse'd in one of the several special messages expected before the close of the session, is not known. Aside from giving his support to the dormitory proposal the governor has not discussed the plan. Both houses convened this after noon. The house met at 2 o'clock. The senate convened two hours later.

Flans CornP'etcd for Cliurcl. of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Plans have been completed for a new building to serve the combined purposes of a church and school for the Mexican children and families in Topeka. The ground for the building has been donated by the Santa Fe and is located at the corner of Seward and Ash streets. The church is to be known as the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. There are at least 500 Mexican chil dren in Topeka who would be sent to the school it accommodations could be supplied for them. Father Garcia, of the Catholic Extension society, be lieves. Father Garcia, who is in charge of the parish at Topeka, came to the United States from Mexico, and is in charge of all mission work among the Mexicans in Kansas.. He is assist ed in Topeka by a Jesuit father. Fa ther Aloysius G. Padilla. There are 700 Mexican families in the parish at the present time. Father Garcia says. They are at present renting a store building for tne com bined purposes of church and school, but are finding' it highly unsatisfac tory. The new church is to be 45 by 85 feet, with four school rooms on the ground floor, and the second floor re served for church purposes. The cost of the building as planned will be about 14,000, of which sum more than $2,000 has already been raised. Father Garcia has interested the lo cal order of the Knights of Columbus in the problem, and. they will co-oper ate with him in securing the remain der .of the money necessary to erect the church.

Beside his body lay several works on spiritual, ism. "Can the dead communicate with the living?" was the title of a type written manuscript which had not been finished. According to his friends, Bradford recently inserted an advertisement in Detroit papers ask ing for any one interested in spiritual ism to call and see him. A girl an swered and visited the rooming house. It is believed it was this girl with whom Bradford wished to talk from his grave. Bradford was a graduate ef a Chi cago school of oratory.

"Tanlac is the only thing that ever helped my wife," said David Vreeland, a well known retired farmer of Hays ville, Kan., "and that is saying a great deaf, for during the past ten years she tried all kinds of medicines and treat ment. "In fact. Tanlac has given her com plete relief from a bad case of indi gestion, nervousness, dizziness, sleep lessness and a complication, of troubles that made her life miserable for all those years. She complained of raging headaches and of almost unbearable pains across her back. She was in such a weak, rundown, miserable con dition that it was an effort for her to do the least thing about the house. "Well. sir. Tanlac has acted like maeic in driving away her troubles. She has a splendid appetite, sleeps like a child and never complains of feeling bad or having a. pain of any kind. It seems almost too good to be true, but she, is now a well woman after all those years of suffering. Tanlac has- certainly brought a blessing to my home." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co., 835 Kansas ave nue, and 729 Kansas avenue. Adv. BOOSTS FIVE W'S Who, When, Why, Where and What Seeded In 111 Ads. Merchants at K. 17.

Medical scientists differ as to the causes of every form of rheumatism, but agree that when caused by a tiny disease germ, the only effective method of treatment is to attack 'the disease at its source, and cleanse the blood of its cause. A very common form of Rheuma tism is caused by millions of tiny dis ease gerins which infest the blood. The one and only sensible treatment. 1 therefore, is one which cleanses the i blood of these germs, and routs them i entirely out of the circulation, i This is why S. S. S., the greatest known blood purifier is so successful in the treatment of Rheumatism. It is a powerful cleanser of the blood, and will remove the disease germs that cause your Rheumatism, afford ing relief that is genuine. S. S. S. is sold by all druggists.

Use Journal -Want Ads for Results Beporters and Reporters' Abil ity "eeded in Business. Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 7. The best Place to go for first aid in ad writing is to the news columns of a good news paper. Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of Journalism at the University of Kansas, told Kansas mer chants this afternoon who have come I WHEN MEALS DON'T FIT "Pape's Diapepsin" is the quickest Indigestion and Stomach Relief When meals hit back and -your stomach is sour, acid, gassy, or you feel full and bloated. When you have heavy lumps of pain or headache from Indigestion. Here is instant relief! Just as soon as you eat a tablet or two of Pape's Diapepsin all the dys pepsia, indigestion and stomach dis tress caused by acidity ends. These pleasant, harmless tablets of Pape's Diapepsin never fail to neutralize the harmful stomach-acids and. make you feel fine at once, and they cost so little at drug stores. Advertisement. to the inivereny to attend ihe annual Merchants? week. T i Professor Flint declared that retail advertising today is about where re porting was fifty years ago. "Mr. Busyman, as an ad writer," was- the subject of his tolk. Reporters'' Know Best. "The five W's of a reporter Who What? When? Where? and Why-.' are as essential in an advertisement as in the lead of a news story," he said. "The good reporter makes the best ad writer because he has been trained to recognize news- when he sees it. He can see the news in a store full of goods. He knows how to write a story for the advertising columns as simply and directly and vividly as he would write a story for the news columns Another thing the ad writer should study in the news columns is the head ings. 'Important, used to be consid ered a fine head- for a news story. Not today. But such headings are still re garded as wonderfully fine by ad writers. Retail advertising today Is about where reporting was fifty years ago." Professor Flint V'd the story of Mr. Busyman's "advertising regeneration," from the time when he carelessly and irritably handed out to the advertising solicitor a piece of hastily scribbled copy, to the time when, after his "re generation," he fitted up for himself a secluded den in the back, of his store and made the study of his advertising problem and the WTiting of his adver tising copy a regular part of each day's routine. "Perhaps some day he will pick out his most intelligent clerk, teach him ad writing, and turn the Job over to him. But not quite yet not for a Vng time in fact. Tt is too much fun." A.

FEARS REDS Four Under Arrest for Bombing In Mexico City. VWW M 3,000 years ago and tonight um r?mwm. The Secret of Charm Never Changes Throughout the ages it exerts its power this charm to which the world bows, changing history and mak ing queens of nations as well as hearts. Few can describe it, for charm doesn't depend upon beauty alone. The woman who wields it may be dark or 'fair, of any race or type. Only this is certain she has a perfect skin, fresh, youthful, free from blemishes the irresistible attrac tion which all understand and admire. Begin today to give your complexion the care it needs and this charm will also be yours. It's a beauty secret of ancient Egypt and the beautiful Cleopatra. Before you sleep, cleanse with Palm and Olive oils Bad complexions are largely due to lack of proper, cleansing. The pores become clogged, then enlarged, then irritated.. Blackheads and blotches follow. Soft and flabby skins often show the lack of a cold water tonic. Rough skins are often caused by using harsh, irritating soaps. The best preventive is a daily cleansing with Palm olive soap. It makes a balmy, creamy lather, for the base is palm and olive oils. A gentle massage makes t it penetrate. A rinsing takes it out, and with it come all accumulations which have clogged the skin. .Volume and efficiency permit us Palmolivefor 10c Finish with a dash of col4 water.'Then your skin will be fresh and rosy, clear, soft, smooth. Done at night, with a finishing touch of cold cream, this means that all night long your skin will have a needed chance to rest and breathe. A lesson from stage women A)l women can learn something from the women of the stage, who use rriuch rouge, much powder. fiut they remove them before they sleep. And with them the oil, the dirt and perspiration which clog up the pores of the skin. Their complexions will show you that theyf do no harm when skins are treated the right way. Only 10c, yet supreme Palmolive soap costs little, yet it forms the best skin soap the world ever knew. It employs palm oil from Africa, olive oil from Spain. It combines them in a perfect emollient. It soothes while it cleanses, softens while it cleans. No price can buy anything better. The Palmolive price is due to the fact that millions have come to employ it. And we have worked for 761510 brine it within the reach of all. On dry skin it is well to apply cold cream, both before and after, washing. Ancient beauties knew the way Roman beauties, in their famous baths, used palm and olive oik. Egyptian beauties used them in Cleopatra's time. Now modern science finds no better way to beauty than by scientific blending of these oils. The Palmolive Company, MrfwaxJu. V. S. A. The Palmolive Company if Canada, Limited, Toronto, OnL Residence of Archbishop Badly Damaged by Explosion. Mexico City, Feb. Police author- rues and government secret service agents were engaged today in collect ing evidence which might lead to the arrest of men who bombed the resi dence of the archbishop of Mexico and the building occupied by Juergens Company,. in this city, yesterday morn ing. Four men are under arrest, but it is Known several others were impli cated in the two crimes. t The residence of the archbishop was badly damaged. The Juergen building was virtually destroyed by the force or the explosion of the infernal ma chine placed in front of it. Its entire street frontage was wrecked but no one was injured. Information gathered by the police would seem to indicate that four men did the actual work of setting off botn bombs. Radical activity has been increasing in 'Mexico City recently and newspa pers nere say that two communist .con gresses will be called this month, one in Mexico City and the other In Tampico.

The state aid for roads will pre sent itself in the senate again, when the two reports which have been made on the Hegler bill enabling Kansas to own and operate brick and cement plants, are acted on. The senate iu diciary committee has submitted a ma jority report, with six signatures, for the killing of the bill, and there is minority report with five men favor ing it for the bill's passage. If the minority report is adopted there is to be a fight on the open floor of the senate. The measure will probably affect the state .aid for roads legislation which is pending in both houses. Sen ator Price, of Clark county, chairman of the Judiciary" committee, signed the majority report for the killing of the bill. Senator Hegler will undoubtedly defend the measure both when it comes to a vote on report to adopt, and if the fight goes to the senate floor. The Judiciary committee has been busy thruout the week end, and has reported on a large number of bills. The report will probably be the big gest item of business to etome before the senate when that body convenes at 4 o clock this afternoon. CRIMINOLOGY JIT FIRST HAND Kansas Peace Officers Spend Three Days in Leavenworth Prisons. Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 7. County sheriffs and other members of the Kansas State Peace Officers' associa tion will make a first hand study of criminology at a three-day meeting here in May. The delegates will visit the three penitentiaries located here. the federal. United States military and Kansas state penitentiaries, and hear talks by the wardens of each. Preliminary arrangements navft been made by John T. Glynn, mana ger of the Glynn Detective seryiee. Included in the program, will be an address by A. J. Rence, a well known flngar print expert, and Al Dunlap, editor of The Detective, published in Chicago. Ati ntn rirle thru the eitv. Fort Leavenworth and the soldiers' Home, for the members and their ladies, two banauets, one at the federal prison and the other at the state peniten tiary at Lansing, with concerts at each, and a fife and drum concert by the veterans of the Soldiers' Home, are among the entertainment teatures planned. FAILURES ARE FEW IN" KANSAS. State Comes Out ot Readjustment Pe riod in Good Shape. Desoite the business depression in the entire United States, there have been very few failures, either of mer chants or of farmers, In Kansas, ac cording to J. G. Logan, a .Topeka at torney, who is basing his belief on the scarcity of bankruptcy cases which have been filed in the state during the readjustment period. The failures wnica have occurred have been mostly in the western, wheat-producing sections of the state, where the farmers have been unable or unwilling to move their wheat crop their only source of revenue, and for that reason have- been slow to set tle their accounts and have let the merchants who have been carrying them go to the wall.

Uaskin, Director, 'Washing ton. I. It is pleasant to be assured by the secretary of the state board of agri culture that, after all, the farmers are not in so bad a way as they have been declared to be by certain newspapers and politicians. Perhaps there will now be a relaxation of efforts to ex tend assistance to the agriculturists to the exclusion of persons engaged in other lines of endettvor. In the matter of taking care of himself there is nobody that excels the farmer. In this connection it may be noted that those potato growers in the Kaw val ley who had not already joined the association of men engaged in that line of business are Joining It. The future prosperity of those who pro duce other crops lies in the direction, of the formation of organizations sim ilar to that of the potato men. A mar keting plan is the thing. It is being pointed out that the tide of European immigration still is run ning heavy despite the fact that there is widespread unemployment, and congress is urged to put up the "Bars. But it may be that the federal law makers feel that we can 'feed the strangers morej cheaplyhere than in their former homes. The latest travelers out of Russia report that, instead 'of- money, hours of work performed are being taken as a basis for all economic negotiations in Petrograd. Every one carries around a small notebook wherein so viet commissioners stamp the hours of work done. When the worker goes to a store, he finds things priced in .hours of work and the salesman crosses off from his little book enough hours to correspond with the pur chase. Since this has been the Bole function of money, since it was in vented, it is difficult to see where any improvement has been made. Money is an evidence of labor performed by somebody and stored up. It is noth ing more. It is a draft on the general store of commodities. -Its possession .denotes that the holder is entitled to an undetermined amount of the prod uct of labor. A period of rising prices always brings prosperity and business expan sion. Falling prices cause business to halt and, if long continued, to stag nate. A stabilized pondition of. prices is the greatest need of the country, so that the producer, the wage earner and the merchant can know where they stand. TRADING 1.V FCTCHE& The violent fall in the prices ot foodstuffs has led to sudden opposi tion from the agricultural sections to trading on the grain exchanges, and to a group of radical bills now before congress seeking to eliminate trading in "futures" thru a prohibitive tax, and to confine all grain speculation to persons actually in the trade. What this antagonism and the re sulting legislative proposals overlook, 6ays a bulletin Issued by the Mechan ics and Metals national bank, is that, except for tho less important move ments of prices over short periods, speculation does not cause the great swings of prices, it merely records them. To seek to restore prices to their former levels by restricting speculation and eliminating future trading, it says. Is somewhat compar able to attempting to break a cold wave by smashing the thermometer, or trying to catch a train by turning back one's watch. In general, a speculator is success ful and enriches himself not in so far as he tries to make 'prices, but in so far as he is correct in guessing what prices will be. He may buy and bid prices up. but unless he can find per sons willing to take the) grain off his hands at the higher price, he 'has ac complished nothing. He may sell short and depress prices, but unless other people have sold, and agree that the price should be lower, he will only bid prices back to their original lev els when he is forced to-buy back. If the ultimate demand be greater than the short seller believes, he is liable to suffer very heavy losses. As short sellers form a group of persons who have no choice but to buy back, their purchases. In times of panic, when no one seems willing to buy at any price, act as a cushion in sustain ing the market. Organized speculation checks the most violent extremes in fluctuations. Wheat In London, before the days of boards of trade, it Is recorded, ell from the equivalent of $2.50 a bushel in 1335 to the equivalent of 20 cents a bushel in 1336. As for speculation causing Jow prices, it may be recalled that it was when the cotton exchanges were closed, in .1914, that cotton went to Its low-price of G cents a pound, and ft was last year, with the ex changes open, that It reached 43 3i cents a pound. The supply ot liquor in this coun try is disappearing so rapidly down the sewer pipes and the throats of the people that the amount on hand soon must become exhausted. If the pro hibition enforcement officers can but sucoeed in preventing further manu facture their problem should be solved at no distant date. THE POWER OF ECONOMIC LAW. Despite all efforts of those inter ested In maintaining prices and profits at wartime levels, prices and profits are proceeding downward and with out the aid of legislation. It was said, in many quarters, as late as last June that no depression would follow the rising tide of prices. No less than five elements in the economic situa tion were relied upon by business ad ministrators and by labor to maintain, unimpaired, the inflated structure of wages, profits and prices, built up as an incident of the great war. Any one of these alone was considered entirely adequate to support the structure; in the aggregate they created a system of props which rendered it impregna ble before the attacks of all the ma lign forces which have, in the past, produced panics and depressions. These elements of the situation were: The ready acceptance or the large laboring and middle classes of a general level of prices radically high er than that which prevailed beforej the great war; secondly, the empty shelves of domestic retail merchants; the demand for manufactured goods by neutral nations, which had been forced by the wf to import manufac tured commodities from the United States rather than from Europe; the enormous requirements of European belligerents for American products particularly raw materials in order to enable ,;'thera to rehabilitate their stifled industries; and finally, the de termination of labor not to accept a general reduction of wages, without which there could be no appreciable decline in prices. All these alleged pops to the ele vated economic structure have broken. The public, instead of com placently accepting the elevated price level clamored for lower prices and backed up its clamor by withholding purchases. Retail merchants found themselves face to face with a "buy ers' strike," which put such brakes on retail trade that the merchandise) it mignt nave Deen tor past demands.

was more than sufficient to satisfy a public determined to hold back Its purchases until radical reductions were evident. The neutral nations had themselves very little buying power remaining after the great war; many, like Cuba and Argentina, were paralyzed by the cessation of the world's demand for their chief sta ples. High Interest rates and abnor mal rates of exchange acted as heavy brakes to all trade with the United States. The belligerents had nothing to give us in exchange for our sorely needed necessities and were forced to rehabilitate their homes and factories with little yutside aid. And finally la bor found itself, whether it would or not. subject to the same great law of demand and supply as all else that is bought and sold. It could np more maintain its own wages at high levels while the whole economic) structure was falling down than could the old English king halt the Incoming tide. For there stands out one simple truth and that is th-j powerlessness of man, whether c-n-trress or labor unions, boards of poli ticians or trusts, to arrest the sequen tial order of economic law. It is a simple truth, but seemingly never learned. The Milwaukee Journal reports that representatives of the United Textile Workers appeared at a high" tariff hearing in Washington and asked th.it if the duties on manufactured goods are to be raised, there be some guar antee that wage earners shall profit. These representatives had heard that high tariffs on factory output, with consequent higher prices to consum ers, are necessary "to protect the wage earner's standard of living." The politiciaJte. some of them on the committee before whom the labor representatives were appearing, had said that. And so these textile rep resentatives asked the congressmen to take pencil and paper and figure put Just how much in dollars and cents factory labor was to get from the in creased profits to manufacturers. The farmers are less Inquisitive than the textile workers. They never thought to ask how much they would get out of the tariff on wheat proposed in the Fordney emergency tariff bill. fOPEKA STATE JOURNAL -Information Bureau FBEDEMO J. TTASKry. Director, Washington, r. C. PUT THE DESERT TO WORK. f Washington, D. C., Feb. "A. There are over two million acres of desert and unproductive land in five western states, which are at present of prac tically no value to anyone- This land not only produces neither food nor taxes, but it is also a burden to the railroads which are forced to cross the desert wastes between east and west without gaining either freight or pas sengers. At the same time there arajn these regions great streams, which are al most as useless as the deserts. Some of them irrigate little patches here and there, but most of their waters go to waste, and all of the great power which those waters gather in their descent from the mountains goes to waste.. Now this country is suffering from too much money, from over-production, and from consequent unemploy ment. And the number of unemployed is being constantly swollen by immi grants. Why not let the United States gov ernment gather these idle men and put them to work damming these streams, capturing their power, irrl rigating the waste lands, making farms for th men who are out of work? This question former Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane puts to the American people. Mr. Lane, since his retirement from the cabinet, has been the vice president of an oil com pany. But he has by no means re nounced that interest in the develop ment of the public domain which brought him into the cabinet. He urged a systematic reclamation of the arid land of the west as a mean -of providing returning soldiers with farms. A complete and detailed plan was offered congress, but congress was too busy to attend to it. Now Secre tary Lane points out again the great opportunity that is waiting in the west, and how it may be taken ad vantage of in such a way asto re lieve the stress of threatened hard times. What he .offers is again a complete and well-considered plan. The objec tion will be offered that a people over burdened by taxes resulting from a greatjwar is not in a position to under takeJ"an enormous public work, what ever its value. Mr. Lane replies that this work can be financed by a tax free bond issue, with the farm lands and the power which the project will produce as a security. Lane Offers Complete Plan. Mr. Lane says that anybody can fig ure the advantages of a reclamation project, because the proposition is so clear and simple. Here are one mil lion acres of land, a little owned by individuals, some by the states, some by Indian Reservations, most by the United States, and some by the rail roads that run thru the desert coun try. Taken as a whole the land is worth five to fifty cents an acre as it is now. Practical engineers, skilled at this kind of work, have estimated conserv atively that they can build three dams and power plants on the Colorado river, which runs thru this country, and make available- enough water to irrigate all of this desert million acres, and at the same time produce over one million horsepower in electrical en ergy. The cost of the whole operation isrfestimated at from fifty to eighty nflllion dollars. Because of the many different in terests involved. Mr. Lane does not feel that this could be accomplished by private enterprise. He says that it is essentially a public work., and that is wmere his bond issue plan comes in. The railroads and the municipalities near the desert are in the market for all the power, as soon as developed. xnev-nicago, Milwaukee St. Paul rail road has proved the immense advan tages of using electrical power in the propulsion of its- trains. The result are known to the officials, of all the 'nmWHW CilffiS I IIP 1 1 Pl I '1 Tl ft O They woul(1 h to buy all the hydro-electric energy "Ot. J-itfTJ HJlt LI t QQ SO. Mr. Lane feels sure that there could be made a general bond, covering the security of the improved land at about miy aonars an acre (about one-fourth of the currant price of fair irrigated land) and the contracts of the pro posed power users, making a pond something like the present farm loan bonds. As in the case of the farm loan bonds the National Government would add its backing and endorse ment. The bonds should be free froTn taxation because they are to be used to create taxable property and for the public good. With the present effort to reduce the expenses of national government, this plan would not conflict, because these Donas would, go at once on the open market for government securities. Being of the highest security and tax free, they will get a good price at once. It is to be remembered also that in making these bonds tax free, the gov ernment will be a large beneficiary, because the proceeds of these bonds are not to be used for gdVernment tax free expenditures, but are going at once to create industries subject to all federal and state taxes. A Bond Issue. While Mr. Lane was secretary of the interior he had a conference with some of the largest bankers and bond deal ers in the country to ascertain their views on his project of providing farms for the returned soldiers. These dis tributors of "Securities told Mr. Lane that a half bullion dollars worth of tax free bonds, paying 3 per cent, could be absorbed at once. Mr. Lane thinks this equally true of the re clamation project bonds on the plan he has outlined.. Mr. Lane points to the Roosevelt Dam and the resulting Irrigation of nearly two hundred thousand acres of land, besides the production of over two hundred thousand horsepower in electrical energy. The farmer is now paying less than four dollars per acre per year for the water he uses on his land and he has water when he wants it. The city of Phoenix and its people are getting cheap electric light and power and so are the smaller cities thruout the region. And the result of these succeful workings is that the whole undertaking will be fully paid for by these earnings before it is all due, and that thereafter the farmer will get his water for irrigation free, because the power revenue will be more than enough to meet all the operation expenses end replacements. Before the water came to them the lands that now receive water from the Roosevelt Dam were mostly worthless desert Now they are valued at from two hundred dollars per acre upward. Under the cotton-growing- excitement last year some ot the Salt river farms sold above seven hundred dollars per acre. "If the only purpose of developing these lands was to add to our arable territory, and to increase the wealth and productivity of the United States, it would still be a splendid business for the government," says Mr. Lane. "But it means also that thousands of citizens will be made independent workers, contributing handsomely to the general welfare, without any cost to the national government. It would sefem to.be our imperative duty to get started at once and get some of the idlers out of the cities, to w4rk on these projects. Dorothy Dtx Talks BY BOROT1IT DEC I Each to Bis Trade 2. There will be no more wandering wives when husbands learn how to cook, and can make the same kind ot bread, as well as the same kind of dough, that father made. Nor will any temperamental lady need to go afar to seek her affinity, when she finds in her own husband one who has the true feeling bout French mil linery. 1 The broadening effect of the higher education of man -will also do much to make the common, or garden, variety of husbands have some sympathy with woman's work. Up to now, tbe opin ion has universally prevailed with men, that the domestic woman, who merely cooked, and washed, and sewed, and cleaned, and nursed, and baby tended for a family, had a sinecure. kind that she lived a life of glorious ease. It is officially so declared, for the census rates the housewife as having no occupation, altho it takes her about fourteen hours a day to get away with her 1ob of doing nothing. Men con cur w.ith this opinion, and speak of "supporting their wives" who do noth ing but work, and are not even sup posed to earn their board and keep thereby. The reason that nusDanas say tu their wives, "Bosh. I wish I had noth ing to do but Just stayat home and look after the house and the chil dren," is because they have never tried it. When they have louna out from actual experience That you take as many steps in cleaning a house as you would in doing 4he first lap of a champion pedestrian tour around the world, and that it takes three million different licks to get a dinner, and four million more to clean up after it, mill Hv the little house mother the credit that is due her as the world s hardest laborer. And also, they will pick up after themselves, and save her a lot of unnecessary toil. However, there is always a fly in the ointment, a black back to your silver lining, and the domestic science ex pert husband is not going to be the unadulterated boon to womankind that she may think he is. First of all. he is going to be an-almost unat tainable, luxury. It is man's ignor ance of cooking and sewing that drives him into matrimony. Far more men than women marry for a home. The gay young blade with the stomach of an ostrich, who does not care what he eats, or whether he is held together with safety pins or not, and the Jtoxy old bachelor, wHo has found a club chef to his liking and subsidizes tne little tailor 'round the corner, are not apt to marry. It is tho man in between them; the man who has grown sick and tired of boardine: houses and cheap restau rants, the man who has punched holes thru the ends ot his fingers trying, to" sew on buttons, who flies to. matri mony as to a haven of refuge. -But he will be sufficient .unto himself if you teach him to be an adept with pots and pans and needles and thimlsies, and will also eschew matrimony. There Is also this to be considered: Even the smallest amount of domestic knowledge goes to a man's head and makes him uriendurably conceited. No husbands are so unbearable as those who always tell about what wonderful coffee they make when they go camping, and who think they have a divine gift for mixing salad dressing. How, then, would a woman be able to stand-a man around the house who was a graduate cook, and who ate everything as if he Were making a chemical analysis, and told her what she left out, and what she put in, that she shouldn t have done? So perhaps things are better left as they are, with each sex dependent on the other for its comfort and well being. There is truth in the motto which bids the shoemaker stick to his last.

Madge's uncle exchanged a knowing glance with his sister, Madge's mother, at whose in- vitation he had consented to leave his farm house for a visit at her summer home. "Just at present she s receiving a whole lot of attention from one man in partidtilar, I assure you!" declared Mrs. Evans, a voluble little woman, whose thoughts tripped rrom her tongue the moment of their birth. Madge blushed -becomingly, but a shadow 'of annoyance clouded the hazel depths of her eyes, and the keen glance of Uncle Jim took note of the fact. Was it possible that his sister, whom he had always credited with more heart than brains, was set upon some match for his niece which was repugnant to the- girl herself That would never do. That evening, at the' supper table, Uncle Jim found himself being intro duced to one Bob Stratton, with whom he doubtless felt himself somewhat acquainted. For previous to his arri val, Madge's mother had found time, in the presence of Madge, to comraenf gushingly on that youth's attractions, his looks, his money, his position, his family. Not one of his qualifications had escaped her extravagant phrases. As Uncle Jim shook the young man's hand ho was thinking to him self. "So this is the paragon our little Madge must marry! Well, if clothes make the man, this young feller Js there with bells on!" But it was later. Just after young Stratton's departure, that Uncle Jim uttered the remark which caused his sister to be hauehtily displeased, and brought a queer look into Madge's softJ eyes. "How did he strike you?" Mrs. Evans had wanted to know at once. Uncle Jim had delayed his reply a moment, thoughtfully wafting smoke rings to the ceiling. Then, with one eye on his niece, he had calmly of fered: "Ain't kind of stuck on him self, is he?" Madge" looked up e-uickly. "Jim!" Mrs. Evans's voice was one of shocked disappointment. "Oh. mebbe I'm wrong. Mebbe I'm wrong!" her brother, returned hastily. And by mutual consent the conversa tion was steered into safer channels. As the days passed It seemed to yn- cle Jim that Madge and her mother were playing a game of battledore in which Bob Stratton was tne snuttie cock. As often as her mother threw Bob at her daughter, her daughter found a wav of tossing him back. If a sailing party was arranged, Madge devoted herself to Uncle Jim. If Bob was casually asked to drop in for tea. Madge developed a- headache ana neglected to appear at all. Incidentally, Mrs. Evans was regretting-her invitation to her brother to visit her? -for instead of forwarding her plans, he seemed never to lose an opportunity of commenting unfa vorably on young Stratton. His most recent and caustic remark grated on his sister to such an extent as to cause her abruptly to leave the room, while even .Madge herself, who doubtless possesed a sense of justice, was roused to Bob's defense. "Theses white-flanneled chaps bah! What they lack is elbow grease. I'd like to see one of them tackle a real job successfully!" "But. Tnde Jim." had remonstrat ed Madge, "it really isn't fair to judge until the emergency arises!" The emergency arose sooner than either Madge or her uncle expected. Madge had managed to entice Uncle Jim, who was a confessed coward on the water, r out for a ride in the Sea Gull. The Sound waters were spark ling and comparatively calm at first, but as Madge rounded -the .breakwater preparatory to- turning back, she no ticed a leaden cloud ascending the sky and an intimation of approaching wind. At that moment the engine. forthe i first time in an honorable career, hic coughed, sputtered and stopped and then refused to be coaxed into run ning. For an instant, Madge gazed in astonishment. Then, as the boat bounced aimlessly on the swells, she attempted various stunts with the coil and spark plugs and carburetor, all to "no avail. An anxious glance con firmed her fears that the launch was drifting unmistakably seaward. Un cle Jim had no suggestions to offer. Marine engines were not in his line. suddenly around the breakwater shot a long slim speed boat and Uncle Jim, who could recognize a neighbor's horse by the cut of his mane, but to whom all boats looked alike, wondered why a slow blush mounted to Madge's cneek as she stood up and waved her sweater. -An hour later they were safe in' port. Bob Stratton had climbed aboard, rolled up his silk shirt sleevesT kneeled on the engine bed on wnite flanneled knees, poked a finger here and there, diagnosed the trorfble as a leaky gasket, partly demolished the engine and put f together again, and finally started mem nome under their own power. That evening Uncle James, who felt that he was .out of grace all around. wandered disconsolately down toward the summer house. Subdued voices warned him just in time, but before he could make good his retreat, he caught snatches of a conversation ob viously not meant for his ears. "Bob, darling, I wouldn't admit I loved you as long as mother kept throwing me at your head. But when Uncle Jim who is an -old dear, but of course doesn't understand men, said mean things about you. I simply couldn't stand it! But I imagine he's cured after this afternoon" DarlinK!" Bob's voice was beauti fully tender. "What is Uncle Jim to us, when we have each other?" Time for me to clear out! said Uncle Jim to himself. "I'm -popular, I am! I'll have to have a, little talk with my nephew-to-be. But first he had things out with his sister, who stopped him. as he crossed the veranda. "I'm- afraid you've spoiled every thing." she complained tearfully. She had not yet learned the details of the afternoon episode, having just re turned from dining out. "Oh. I wouldn't worry." said Uncle: Jim philosophically, as he jammed a fresh supply of cube cut into his pipe with a hardeaed thumb. "The minute I set eyes on that young man I knew he was the young fellow for Madge. But didn't it ever occur to you that a little mite of opposition goes further with these modern girls than anything else? Take my word. It'll all turn out to your liking." At that moment at the turn of the walk leading to the summer house ap peared Madge and Bob-, hand in hand, with an unmistakable halo of happi ness radiating about them. ".Veil, of all things!" Mrs. Bvans looked thunderstruck, then -directed glance of suspicion 'at Uncle Jim. "But how on earth did you guess?" "Oh, I dunno," responded. Uncle Jim innocently. "I may be an. old codger from the country, but human beings are the same the world over." Then he chuckled reflectively. (Copyright. 1M1. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

It should be well understood that if Mr. Harding does appoint Mr. Daugherty he must do it over Mark Sullivan's protest, and the column gives the matter its utmost in pub licity.

You m"ust learn to control your feelings and your thoughts. With will power you can putaside one thought and replace it with definite thinking along a dif ferent line. Of course your thoughts will wander back to the forbidden sut 1ect at first, and then you will have to put them aside again for thoughts which do not cause unnappiness. Keep your love in control or you will lose the objects of your affection time and time again. I would not ad vise you- to go to another church. Stay where you are and conquer your self. One reason you are so unhappy is Because ot the extreme youth. As you grow older you will see things with more sanity and control and will not be so much a victim of your feelings. You must try, however, to exert self control or you will always be lacking it at critical times. Questions -Answers Q.

I would rather attempt and fall thousand times at something in which I had put my heart, than to win with a single bound at something that held only temporary thrill. Somehow big. bold things grip my heart and being! i It was a big. bold thing to think out a way to cut a water road across the Isthmus of Panama. But it was done by big, bold men. Big,, bold things must be conceived and worked out in big, bold minds. It was a big, bold thing to think of stretching a railroad across the great Salt Lake in Utah but a little man with a big. bold brain did it! I never enter the marvelous city of New York from the New Jersey side, thru the tunnels under the Hudson river, but what I think- of the big, bold man-who took the job that scores had failed at and put it thru. It was a big, bold "thought that the world was round and that a new spread of land must be situated far beyond uncharted seas. But there came forward a Columbus who was a big. bold soul and proved it. A few years ago, those who thought the time would come when we would be safely sailing thru the air and send ing messages round the world merely by way of space, were termed dream ers and fools.

To my delight Clara and Jim took one in the same house. I bad insisted we have a better one than before, larger, with one more room. We had done very well In our' In vestments, aa 1 always spoke of specu lations, and while Dick demurred, h really did not oppose me very much. We had made some losses, but they were small compared with our profits. Even so I fussed over them, and ad monished Dick to be more careful so he wouldn't lose anything. We had taken an apartment on the second floor. Both of us felt a little nervous about going higher up. I bads, a really wonderful time furnishing. I bought as expensive things as Dick would allow, some, the cost of which he knew nothing. But, as In our other home, I made the draperies and lld many things myself that added to the appearance of the house, and at the same time saved money. x "Get Insured right away!" I oav tioned, "You bet I will!" Dick replied. Dick was nervous, sometimes Irci'-A-. ble. I laid it to working too hard, not to anxiety over our own money mut ters. He had grown a little gray at, tho temples, and while it was not tin becoming, I hated to see it He had changed, tod, in many ways in the last months. lt,.wa not that he was less kind, less loving, but he seemed at times reckless, and talked so differently about many things than he ever had before.. But while I some times wondered and speculated as to the' change, I in no way blamed my- sen oecause ui 11. OneSaturday he telephoned me hs would not get home until late. He was going up to Harmon to look at a lot he had heard about. "But we aren't ready to build yet!" I objected. "No.'ibut if this is as it is represent ed, -we can get it cheap by taking it now. Anyway, I shall look at it." '"Don't make any payments until I have eeenit," I cautioned. T won't! You have to live where I do. so you should have a voice in the place." he replied, then hung up. AU the afternoon I worried for iear he would bind himself in some way. Suppose it was in an undesirable neighborhood: I wished I had offered to go with him, altho he had said some man he knew who lived in the place had asked him to go up in his car. He came in a little before t o'clock. He had taken the .refusal of the) jot. subject to my approval. It was,; 150 feet front, 300 deep, a nice play ground for Junior, and room for a gar age. As I had been the one who talked of a garage, I was surprised to hear him plan for one. "What's the use of a garage unleas we have a car?" I asked, to see what he would say. "Everyone out there has a car, so I suppose we'll have one also.", It seemed that Dick's caution once forgotten went by leaps and bounds. Foolishly I did not understand thai: in one of his nature this was inevit able. "Are the people there all richTjf I asked. --i-r- ir et, "No, but pretty well off, I imagine. Langley'a people, the man I went out witn, are roiling in money, and Judg ing from appearances there are some other pretty wealthy- peoplle there.iSut there are plenty of, moderate homes, too. Homes Ilk th -one I am planning-. I think- vou 'will IIIca it f hir Nan." f "But it will be a year or two before we can build." "No, I don't think so! Burns g4ve me a good thing today. Told me to load up on Monday." j "Be careful, iear. until you see if he is right." f "What's the matter. Nan? Loikiir yor nerve? Just as you have suc ceeded in making me find mine? We have nearly $4,000 left to- margin it with. I am going to make a killing this time." We had used about tl.000 of our capital, beside what we had left of our profits, to furnish- our home and replace our clothing. Even so, we had not paid for everything, and owed some pretty large bills. JDIck knew of some of them, others he did not. But I was o sure that he was going to make money that I scarcely gave them a thought. The debt habit is an insidious one.

Haigr and Hals, Lea and Ferrin, Sears-Roebuck, and other widely known double workers haven't a thing: on Britton and Lewis. For five years this pair has been peddling their boxing goods. Tonight in Madison Square Garden they meet for 'the nineteenth time. It will be a bout for the welterweight champion ship and the long distance record of the world. Around New York, where the cham pion is considered almost a son, the betting favored him at 6 to 6. Lewis's friends give him a chance because Britton is getting old. The Irishman's camp grants this but calls to mind that the Englishman faces the old jinx of having been knocked out once by the champion and they figure he can still fight with his head after be steam has gone out of his arms. Britton, who is known around his fireside as William J. Breslin, is one of the most unique characters of the ring. Ho is 3a years old, and a vet eran of fifteen years experience. He has fought ajl over the United States, and perhaps is more familiar to the fans in the bushes than any other champion. Britton is one of the cleverest fight ers in the ring and is a master of de fensive tactics. He can also hit when necessity requires it. Lewis, to win, must knock him out, for it is almost dogmatic among ring followers that no one In the class, can outbox him. Both are ingood condition and say they will have no trouble In making 147 pounds at 2 o'clock this afternoon. TOPEKA HIGHS IXSE TO K. C. Jerb Barnes's- Team Defeated by Score of 28 to 20.

Completely upsetting all. confer ence dope, the Ichabods defeated the Ottawa five, 40 to 25, Saturday night on Washburn court, in a game that was featured by the impossibility of it. Washburn, practically considered out of the conference race by reason of recent losses to ''Opposing contend ers, was not thought -capable of send ing the Baptists home with a defeat. Coach Dwight Ream and the entire Washburn team credit the victory to shift made by Ream, when he sent Stevens to forward and put in Arthur Brewster, a yearling star, at-unning guard. Washburn'' started scoring, early in the game, after spending the first few minutes in taking- the measure of their adversaries and had the game comparatively safely stowed away at the end of the first half, with the score 19 to 12, Washburn. Stevens was the outstanding star of the game. with 14 free throws and 7 -field goals to his credit, a total of 28 points. Wynn, Baptist center, showed a sur prisabte accuracy on free throws, by caging Ijt. Le GrandeJ crack guard for the Ottawa quintet, was taken out of the game in the latter part of the first half, with a dislocated thumb, and did not play again jintil the last few minutes of the game. j The last period of the game was a duplicate of the first, with the Icha- j bods walking steadily away with the lead in scoring, aitho even more pro nounced than the first half. Should the Ichabods continue their winning streak, the conference might yet have an entirely different ending. The Baptists were slated by the scribes and close observers of the game for at least the honor of runner-up in this year's race. Coach Bill Hargiss's Em poria normals were also accorded a good place on the list, and they are sun noiaing mat esteem.

'-Glenn Frank, Editor of Century f Magazine, in The Politics of Industry. The clarity of Mr. Frank's reasoning was demonstrated by the efficiency of the- petroleum industry during the war-time period. Petroleum was the. one basic industry which was left in the hands of men trained "for the job in hand" and their efficiency enabled the Allies to float to victory on a sea of oil. J The lessons learned during that period of stress have enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to increase its use fulness as a manufacturer of petroleum products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has learned that a minimum of political interference with ecomonic processes is' essential to this or any other higRly specialized industry that it may continue tb improve the service it renders. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes .that the government of any business enterprise should come from within the industry, and that this government should be beneficial alike to capital, labor, management, and the public The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is organized upon a broad base to bring about this desirable condition. The Board of Directors, who are respon sible to the stockholders for the manage ment of the Company's affairs, acknowl edge the social obligation which the Company has assumed, and which they interpret to mean the efficient refining and distribution of essential petroleum products of superior qualify; to make these products available every where, and at prices which put them within reach of all. To accomplish this essential taslc, the Standard Oil Company Indiana) has continually broadened the base of its operations, intrusting the administration of its complex and highly specialized business to men of acknowledged authority, ability, and vision.

So, if you have acne, pimples, blackheads, and the like, you can promptly develop dear, fresh complexions, if you use Zenzal.

Pplly Jones, a negro, who is a man in spite of his name, left the balconv of Judge George Whitcomb's division of the district court in a hurry this morning when Paul Edgar, assistant county attorney, started up the stairs. Mabel Porter was on trial, charged with holding up and robbing John Hanson, of Oakland, of $7.50 last No vember. Mabel was in the witness chair; County Attorney Veale was questioning her relative to living in Polly Jones's house. Edgar left the court room and started upstairs after something. Jones immediately shuf fled to the door and made a hasty exit fvom the balcony. It attracted the at tention of the whole .court room. "A nian came and told me." said Edgar, "that Polly was sitting up there. and coaching Mabel on what to say. 1 oicin t Know It at! the time. I started upstairs after something elEe and I guess he thought I was coming after him. Anyway, he left in a hurrv." Mabel denied that she had seen Polly in the balconyi Hanson claims to have been struck in the head by the young negro woman while he was walking home one day last November. He took a short cut to hit the "river road" that connects with- Sardou avenue. He asserted that Mabel was wearing a green, dress when the robbery occurred. The gren dress was found inside a duofold in a house where Mabel was staying temporarily. She had recently changed her costume. After her preliminary -in the city court, the green dress was put away. When the case came up in the district court the dress could not be found. Officers searched for several hours and made scores of inquiries. After it had been almost given up, it was dis covered that George Kline, Judge James McClure's court reporter, had the dress stowed away with other ex hibits. It was exhibited to the Jury in Judge Whitcomb's court today. "How many times have you been arrested?" Veale asked Mabel. "Not more than twice," she replied. Veale then opened up ta police docket and referring to ten different dates, asked the negro girl if she had not been arrested on those dates. Ma bel could not remember, she said. Judge Whitcomb. however, refused to admit the police docket in evidence. "You are just fooling yourself now," Mabel told Veale when he asked her If she did not know she had been pho tographed for the roErues" gallery. The trial was resumed this after noon.

DEFENDS CITY OWNERSHIP Senator Taylor to Show That, Kansas City Plants Made Money. Looking toward the reopening of the municipal ownership fight in tne sen ate, in connection with senator Kdg way's bill empowering Kansas City, Kan., to take over and operate the street railway system of that city. Senator Carr W. Taylor, of Hutchin son, one of the most vigorous uphold ers of municipal ownersnip in the sen ate, has acquired some ammunition in the torm ot statistics from the elec tric and water plants of Kansas City. Kan., which in his. estimation speak for .themselves, very favorably of mu nicipal management. It was charged in the senate when J the Ridgway bill was under discussion that municipal' managernent' is always inefficient, and that depreciation is (seldom charged off againss the city- owned and city-operated utilities. The figures which have been fur nishes current for -lighting at a rate Kansas City plants charged off to de preciation on their waterworks ystem for 1920, $61,957.78, and at that, made a profit of $124,858.04 during the year. The electric light plant, which furr niches current for lighting at a rate of S cents per kilowatt hour, and for lighting and other' household purposes at a rate of 3 cents per kilowatt hour. I charged Itself with depreciation in the sum of $48,940.04 during the year, and still made a profit for the city of more jthan $50.000. 1 1 "These figures arelremarkable, show efficiency in operation and .accounting, and indicate that what can be done in private owenrship and management, can Just as well be done in city oper ated plants," said Senator Taylor this morning. Senator Taylor is hoping that the municipal railway bill will be passed by the house, -and will again come un der consideration by the senate, which killed the bill when it was first pre sented. "CASCARETS" FOR CONSTIPATION Just .think! A pleasant, harmless Cascaret works while you- sleep and has your liver active, head clear, stom ach sweet and bowels moving as regu lar as a clock by morning. No griping or inconvenience. 10, 25 and 50 cent boxes. Children love this candy ca thartic too. -'Adv. BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are th result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like, strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the Ever at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strongvUquids. It is best not to take calomel.. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and 'heavy." They "clear" clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and 30c Money back vithaut qucatieai if HUNT'S Salvs fail, ia lha treatment oriTCH, KCZKMA. RINGWORM, TBTTER a other ItcWnc tkio diieni.

A. Stanfield, commissioner of water and lights, said today. Stan field has been preparing his annual report, and in examining expense rec- i ords for the past two years, found that almost everything used in the department had increased to almost double normal prices in many cases. "Cast iron pipe increased in price 445 per cent in the last two years," he said. "Coal, at a most conservative estimate increased 15 per cent. Spe cial fittings of various kinds increased 191 per cent; lead 88 per cent; small meters, 17 per cent; large meters, 65 per cent; valves, 107 per cent; ffeight, 30 per cent; light globes went from 68 cents to $5.15; salaries Increased 37 per cent." Reductions have come in prices of most of the above items, Stanfield said. The rate for city water was not in creased in the last two years except to consumers of 187,000 gallons or more per month, who were asked to pay a three cent increase. DEATH OP MRS.

He declined to name the governments, saying he would discuss the question more fully 'In executive session of the foreign re lations committee. Must Disarm or Go Broke. An international agreement for lim itation of armaments is absolutely es sential to the avoidance of bankruptcy by some of the more important na tions of the world, with its attendant measureless confusion and distress. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican, declared today before the house naval committee. If an agreement is not reached in the near future. Mr. Mondell said, the fault will be that of America as in former days. The fault was that of Germany. He added, however, that there was no time to work out the problem before the change in adminis tration next month. "The fault will be ours." he asserted. "because we are the only great nation which could maintain enormous estab lishments on land and sea without bankruptcy, without being condemned to bear Indefinitely and add to to day's frightful load of national debt, it is our duty to lead the way toward relief. Is America's Duty. "More than that, it is our duty be cause strangely enough we are the only great nation that since the world war has officially taken a position favor able to the increase rather than the decrease of armaments and warlike ex penditures, and the one nation, in which, I fear, there is a really danger ous sentiment in favor of increases rather than decreases of military estab lishments." Mr. Mondell attacked the executive department of the government for their advocacy of increased naval and military forces and assailed Secretary Daniels's proposal for a navy second REJECTED LOVER MURDERS Iowa Politician Killed and Two Women Wounded Vsod Iron Bar. -Dubuque, Feb. 7.

The complaint contended that finan cial conditions made it impossible to obtain loans to condition cattle for market properly and that gowers were compelled to sell "for whatever they can get in an unmarketable con dition." "Sheep have so declined in value that they will scarcely pay the freight to market," the complaint said. "The wool is unsalable and crops of last year are stored with no buyers. "Within the last ninety days cattle has declined 40 to 5ft per cent, hogs have declined an equal amount, and sheep have declined much or more. This condition leads but to bankruptcy and ruin of the entire farming districts of the country which faces prices below cost of production, while cost of .pro duction is 75 per cent above prewar costs." Joining in the complaint were the National livestock Shippers' league, the American National Livestock associa tion, the National Wool Growers, the Cattle Raisers' association of Texas, the Corn Belt Meat Producers' associa tion of Iowa and the Kansas Livestock association. It was claimed that Increases due to the commission's decision last. August amounted to 340,500,000 annually to the cattlemen in freight rates.

DRAWTiPNEW AVIATION BILL Chamber of Commerce Committee Crgcs New flying Measure A substitute bill for the Howard aviation bill. No. 34, has been drawn by the Chamber of Commerce commit tee on aviation, and will be presented to the federal and state affairs com mitttees o the combined houses some time this week. The bill from the Chamber of Commerce was drawn and revised by Harry H. Colmery. a law partner of John S. Dean, and for merly a commissioned officer in avia tion at Carother's Field, Fort Worth, Tex- The members of the committee are: Robert Fullerton, chairman; Harry Imes, Arthur L. Ollger. W. D. Wallace, A. K. Longren, and Harry H. uoimery. The new bill, which is to be intro- duced as a substitute to the Howard bill, which was killed by the house as Incomplete, is believed by all familiar witn It, to be what the state needs. It provides that an airplane owner must have a pilot's license, a state license, and an inspection of the ma chine,, before he, may fly.. Further more, that no stunts or low flying will be permitted over the city limits of any city in the state, except at the beginning and ending of a flight, when low flying is indispensable, A machine owner's annual fee is fixed at $15 and the pilot's fee $10. One clause of the bill was reference to the farmers, and provides that no machine can fly lower than 250 feet over farms, to protect cattle and farm animals and safeguard them from fright. Lower flying than $1,000 feet over cities or'residential suburbs Is also pro hibited, in order to enable the pilot- to glide to safety outside the city limits, should -he have engine trouble. The penalty for'violation of the act is to be a. fiije of from $25 to $500. The bill does not apply to federal planes, or to pilots of the United States army, who are governed by federal aviation laws, except the stunt and low flying clauses. The bill also provides that cities may be authorized- to purchase, and main tain public aviation fields, for the public welfare of the city, and general advancement of aviation. The committee from the chamber of commerce has been working steadily on the bill for the last three weeks. 3hd believes that they have arrived at the right solution for the flying problem. e TAKE STORY OFF HEELS.
