"Appoints" Horthy His Regent Until "His Return." AUSTRiANS ARE UNANIMOUS Parliament Without Dissenting Voice Votes for Republic. Promised Help From France Boosted His Hopes. Vienna, April 2. Officially repudi ated by both Austria and Hungary, the former Emperor Carl was on his way back to Switzerland today, his dream of a return to the Hapsburg throne definitely ended. Former: Emperor Carl still considers himself king of Hungary and inti mated before his departure for Switz erland that he might make another attempt to regain the. Hapsburg throne. This Information was contained In a dispatch received today from Steina manger. where Carl made his head quarters during his attempted coup. His Proclamation Halted. The dispatch stated that just before Carl departed for Steinamanger he wrote a letter, explaining he was con vinced his country's interests de manded his departure, but tl.at he still considered himself the legitimate monarch. Carl, it was said, reserved the right to remount the throne later, appointed Admiral Horthy. the present regent, as his chief lieutenant during the in terval. The former emperor wished to issue a proclamation to the Hungarian peo ple, but was prevented by the authori ties. Vnder Spanish Protection. t'nder a Spanish safe conduct and In virtual custody of two British army officers. Carl left Steinamanger for the Swiss border yesterday in a special train. Elaborate preparations were made to eiuird the train as it passed thru this and other Austrian cities. The Austrian parliament, by a unan imous vote, declared in favor of con tinuation of the republic as against a te-urn of the Hapsburg dynasty. Dispatches from Budapest stated that the Hungarian national assembly enthusiastically adopted resolution ex pressing, confidence in the govern ment of the regent. Admiral Horthy, and declaring the return of Carl would constitute a great national danger. Conflicting reports were received as to whether Carl has signed a formal statement of abdication before his de parture. One dispatch from Budapest said he refused and merely consented to go to a neutral country, either Switzerland or Spain. Other advices dec'arort he had signed official re pudiation of his monarchistic ambi tion. The Hungarian government was re porred to have promised to grant amnesty to nil persons in any way connected with Carrs attempted coup. Coup Wns Premature. rails, April 2. Former Emperor Carl's attempt to regain the Hapsburg throne resulted from the assurance by certain French elements that he would receive the support of the French government, the newspaper L'lnformation declared today. The Petit Parisian deplored the fact that France's name had been drawn into the plot and expressed regret "there are certain influences in France which have been flirting with the Hapsburgs." According to the Journal, Carl timed his coup prematurely and might have succeeded had he waited a few weeks. TWO AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE Several Persons Injured In Accident at Tenth and Topeka.

The public utilities commission to day issued a new set of rules of pro cedure designed to speed up decision of cases. Hereafter utilities must file full statistical information with their applications for increased rates, rather than at the hearing. Likewise, cities affected must file all informa tion with their answers. In the past much delay resulted be cause the utilities did not present their evidence until the case came up for hearing and the cities would ask for more time to prepare their side. The commission gives notice that the new rule will be strictly enforced. Failure of applicants or complainants to observe it will result in a continu ance of the hearing. Failure of the other side to present its evidence will result in refusal of the commission to receive the information at the hearing. The.

More than 300,000 unemployed will find work during the next year on road building projects if states and counties push projects already approved and con gress makes an additional appropria tion of $100,000,000 as federal aid in highway improvement, officials of the department of agriculture estimated today. The grand total cost of road build ing projects that have been approved and are awaiting completion is $622, 000,000. In -other words, this amount may be spent during the next year if the work is pushed. This includes amounts allotted by- the Tederal gov: ernment, the states, counties and cities. Estimating that 60 per cent of the cost of road building is a labor charge, H. D. Fairbank, editor of the depart ment of agriculture's road magazine, pointed out that this would make ap proximately 375, 000,900 available for hiring employes. This amount, he estimated, would provide employment for 300,000 men, the greater part of the year. Between 20,000 and 25,000 miles of road can be built if all the money is expended. A first class hard surfaced highway can now be built for less than $30,000 a mile. Many states have discontinued work until the cost has dropped be low the $30,000 mark. ANSWERS TRADE UNIONS Contractors Receive Only 8 to 10 Per Cent on liatxjr, Williams Says. In reply to the article quoted in The State Journal of Friday evening, from the Kansas Trades Unionist, charging that the contractors are making an unjust profit off the labor of the men they employ and asserting that the high cost of building is caused by this overcharging. T. W. Williamson, of the Master Builders association, has is sued the following statement: 'The article In Friday evening's State Journal which was takn from the Trades Unionist was written by a person who either was ignorant of the truth or grossly misrenresente'l the facts. "On regular building operations In To peka contractors cL .rge from H to 10 over and above the actual cost of labor. At the present time the writer is supervising three building operations In Topeka, ana the contractors are allowed 79fc, 8 ano 9 respectively over and above the actual cost of labor and material. "The jobbing work is somewhat different ly os the contractor has to absorb a loss In the time of men between the jobs ns well' as the cost of overhead operating expense. A careful study of auy TopeltH jobbing contractor's bunks, by any fair minded person, will show that the figures quoted in the article referred to, are absolutely misleading and no legitimate contractor In lopeKa is niatitug any Niicti charges, un less it be eome union members who are op erating as contractors. "Some misinformed or inexperienced per son cannot realize that there are necessarv orhed exenses In every line of busi ness, anI if persons operating the business cannot make enouph to cover this overhead n well as a profit it would be better for themselves as well as the public, if thev would quit business. If the party who wrote the article thinks that he can do business without adding any. overhead or profit to the actual cost I wonld suggest that he start business in Toneka and I fee: safe in saying that he can be guaranteed a good business as long as he lasts. "In the present controversy in Topeka. it will be well for both sides to stick to the truth. The public wants the truth and neither side will have anything to gain by misrepresenting the facts.

WAR IS ON Independents in Jiorth Dakota Using Jj. P. L. Weapons. Circulate Petitions for Recall of Governor of State. HAVE HALF ENOUGH SIGNERS Nonpartisan Leaguers Confi dent Attempt Will Fail. lielieTe Whole Drive Aimed to Destroy State Credit. Fargo. X. D., April 2. The first of a maelstrom of propaganda that will I mark the recall fight in North Dakota today carried compromise proposals. Some Independents, who are against a bitter political fight this fall, said the program adopted by the Independ ent state convention at Devil's Lake offered a common ground on which the bitterly opposed factions could get together. They declared it offered the Nonpartisans more than they could hope for under their own administra tion in the way of realizing their own prt gram. L'se Nonpartisan League Weapons. Machinery for the recall of state of ficials devised by the Nonpartisans is to be used against them, according to the plan. Petitions bearing signatures total ing 30 per cent of the total vote cast for governor at the last election must be filed with the secretary of state anrl annrnv.H fnrtv-fivp flUVfl befOTC an election may be held. Present ot ficeholders automatically become can 1 rtio&tes to succeed themselves unless I they resign within ten days after such n.-titions are filed. The Independents voted to. recall Governor Frazier, Attorney General William Lemke and Commissioner cf Agriculture John Hagen. The proposed initiation of a consti tutional amendment to allow the state to issue $7,500,000 worth of bonds to refinance state industrial institutions will require approximately 20,000 sign ers before it can be initiated and peti t'ons must be filed. 120 days before election. Have Half Signers. Independents today said they al ready had 12,000 signers on recall petitions, and asserted the petitions have never left the offices of the In dependent Voters' association here. Petitions for initiation of seven other laws which have already been filed provide for liquidation of the state tank, change In personnel of the state industrial commission. Non partisan ballots for state and county t !ees, sural erdit 'boards utid lwi depository bills. They will lso go up at the proposed November election. Some Nonpartisan leaders today as serted the recall will never material ize. -They, said the opposition "took the. most graceful way out." and by threatening recall and a new bonl issue, hope to prevent sale of $6,000, 000 worth of state bank notes, believ ing that the Nonpartisans will "go broke" by fall if the-latter issue is not taken up. HEAFoAS CASE APRIL 5 Utilities Commissioner to Review Kan sas Xatural Petition. The question of whether the public utilities commission can compel the Southwestern Gas company of Inde pendence, Kan., to deliver approxi mately 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily for domestic rather than indus trial use is again raised in a petition for a rehearing filed today by the Kansas Natural Gas company. Hearing on the application is set for April 5. The Southwestern Gas company and associated companies have been selling the product of the Elk City field to local industries be cause of the higher price obtainable and has refused to carry out alleged contract to deliver gas to the Kansas Natural, which supplies Atchison. Leavenworth. Kansas City, Kan., Lawrence, Topeka, and many other cities. In an opinion written by Judge George H. Wark, and concurred in by Presiding Judge W. L. Huggins. the old industrial cout held that it had no jurisdiction to compel perform ance of a private contract, and dis missed the case. In its petition for a rehearing the Kansas Natural points out that Judge Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the new utilities commission, did not concur in the decision. The defendant com panies, it is contended, are public lit i 1 ittuc onH an tim orcoti r-ir n-r-i t s In I a shortage of gas which gives the commission jurisdiction.

Dallas Negr6 WithKaKlaxSymbol As Warning to Pals Reporters Kidnaped to Report 'Trial" Given Man Found in White Woman's Bed Room Twenty-five Lashes Were Applied. BY HARRY CAYLOR. Dallas, Tex., April 2. A mob of fif- Ue,en masked men last midnight seized Alex Johnson, negro, alleged to have been found in a white woman's room at a hotel, carried him out of the city, and, after horsewhipping and branding into his forehead the symbols of the Ku Klux Klan, released him on a main street in Dallas early today, "as a warning to other negroes." The symbols 'K. K. K." were paint ed on the negro's forehead with acid, after he was lashed with a blacksnake. Upon being released near the hotel in which his alleged offense was de clared committed, he was told to tell other employes what had happened to him. Reporters Were Kidnaped. Fred D. Bait and Paul Jones, two newspaper men, were "kidnaped" by the masked men, blindfolded, and taken along with the mob in automo biles and commanded to act as press agents for the affair. Ball and Jones each received a mys terious telephone call to- come to a department store corner for an "im portant story." The man who did the telephoning was so Insistent that he finally convinced both it was not an April fool joke. They received no in timation as to what the "story" would be, they declared, but after appearing on the corner, were met and taken into an automobile and blindfolded. After riding: several miles, the re- Sew Dormitory at Industrial School to Cost $125,000. Work on Brick Structure Will Start at Once. Work on the new $125,000 dormi tory at the Boys" industrial school at Topeka will start -early this summer probably in June. This v?as decided upon today when Capt. W. P. MacLean, head Tf the school, held a conference with Ernest Underwood, jgnft ff.jfe garjjej-nenvjj !,rs"Ot the Aatcf biKartf or aamnilstra lion. Also, it was said this would probably be the first of the 'new state buildings provided by the reoent legis lature to be started. Brick from Lansing. Brick for the new building will be furnished by the state penitentiary brick plant at Lansing and arrange ments were made today to start im mediately to ship brick from the plant to Topeka. Captain MacLean said that he would begin at once to make arrangements for transferring the boys in the old dormitory building to the gymnasium building, so that the old building can be razed. The new building is to be on the same site occupied by the pres ent building, but, being larger, it will extend out closer to the road. A Modern Build Ing. An effort is to be made to have this new building the most modern and most complete of any boys' dormitory in the West. It will contain ample sleeping quarters for the boys and will have a large living and play room for their use. Also, it will be fireproof thruout. In order that the state may save money and make the legislative ap propriation produce a better building. Captain MacLean plans to have his boys unload the brick that will be shipped from the penitentiary plant and also hopqp to be able to use them in razing the old building. "I think I will have no trouble in this latter," he said, "as many of them seem to take a particular delight in tearing things to pieces and they should be supremely happy when we turn them loose and tell thein to tear down a waole building." BANK ROBBERS SENTENCED Xow Law Tried Out on St. Marys Hold-Up Men. The new bank robbery law passed by the last session of the legislature was invoked probably for the first time in Kansas this morning when Judge George H. Whitcomb, in the district court, sentenced Jimmy Jones and Frank Smith, negroes, who robbed the Farmers' National bank of St. Marys, to the state penitentiary for a period of from ten to fifty years. Un der the old law the men could not have been sentenced to more than twenty-one years. The negroes waived arraignment, were taken to the district court and pleaded guilty Friday afternoon. They were charged with holding up the St. Marys hank and stealing M.551. They were captured forty-five minutes later on the lower Silver Lake road by Sheriff Robert Miler and his deputies. The money was recovered. HERBICKTnYOYTO FRANCE Colnmbns Woman Also RecommendcJ for First V. S.

A HOME FOR BOYS Branded porters said it seemed, they were taken from the car, the blindfolds snatched from their eyes. A negro, surrounded by masked, well dressed men, stood beneath a tree, a rope aground his neck. A "trial" was then conducted after the manner described in stories of the followers of the fiery cross in post Civil war times. During this "trial", Johnson was alleged to have con- Xesro Given "Trial". The negro, badly frightened with the rope still around his neck, was asked questions, the procedure be ginning: "What is your name?" "Alex Johnson," was1 the reply. "What do you do for a living?" "I was a bell boy at a local hotel." With the spac under the tree lighted only by a flashlight, the ques tioning proceeded until the alleged confession. Johnson was not bodily injured other than the lashes with the black snake, it was declared. Twenty-five lashes were applied. The negro confessed intimacy with a white woman it was declared. Whim the mob broke up, blindfolds were re adjusted, and a circuitous route was taken back to Dallas. The masked men seized Johnson at his home. He had been released a few hours- before on bond on a charge of vagrancy after it was alleged he was found in the woman's room. HEARING ON RATES Railroad Officials to Appear Be' fore Public Utilities. Cattlemen Ask That Increased Kates Be Suspended. Officials of all the railroads operat ing in Kansas have been summoned to appear before the public utilities commission next Monday to show cause why the intrastate rate on cat tle .shipments in. Kansas should not be placed back at the eld rate before tshe.hist increase" was granted. rThis sion following an agreement made be tween ths carriers and the shippers in which the railroads agreed to a sus pension of the last interstate increase granted by the interstate commerce commission. Shippers Appealed to I. C C. Because of the troubles of the cat tle men and the great losses they have had to take the shippers appealed to the interstate commerce, commission to suspend until July 15 the 35 per cent Increase allowed the roads by the L C. C. in the' last general rate hike. By mutual agreement the petition asking for this was withdrawn ahti the railroads agreed to a suspension of the raise under the Leland tariff. J. H. Mercer, representing the Kansas snippers, supposed this meant a gen eral suspension of all increases, both interstate and intrastate. However, the roads held that it only meant a suspension of the interstate increase. And, in so holding, they placed the Kansas shippers in a position, of being discriminated against when coming into comparison with shippers in other states whoengage in interstate ship ments. Discrimination in Rates. Under conditions as they were brought about by the agreement, an Oklahoma shipper could ship cattle to northeastern Kansas pastures cheaper than a western Kansas shipper could ship them a shorter distance to the same pastures. In an effort to have this discrimination removed and to wipe out the injustice done the Kansas shippers by the agreement. Mercer has appealed to the utilities commission and asked that it set aside the 30 per cent increase that was granted the roads on intrastate shipments shortly after the interstate commerce com mission granted a 35 per cent increase on interstate shipments.

ADABNACf BOLSHEVISM Judge Hoggins Declares Rule of Minority Threatens America. Long Beach, Cal., April 2. Passage of the Adamson railroad act of 191 was criticised as "Bolshevism" by Judge William L. Huggina of the in dustrial court of Kansas in an address before the annual convention of the twenty-third district of the Interna tional Association of Rotary clubs to day. i Judge Huggins neclared the Adam son law was forced to passage by a threat of a- strike that would have paralysed the internal commerce of the nation.

TAX COLLECTIONS SLOW f Big Decrease t Shown in Valua tion of Farm Trodnets. Foreign Mortgages Listed in Each County by Assessors. A record for speed In the 1S21 per sonal property assessment is being made, according to Clarence Smith, secretary of the state tax commission. The unusually good weather which has prevailed elmost ever since March 1 has enabled assessors to cover their districts In a much shorter, time than In past years. Many assessors have already turned in their books. The statute allows until May 1 for -completion of the work. Heal estate, which is assessed only one year in four, is not. valued this year. The assessed value of personal property in 1920 was, nearly one and one-half billion dol lars. While assessing has been going for ward rapidly, tax collections for 19 20 have been unusually slow. County treasurers report that the payment of taxes is materially reduced over 4ast years. Instead of the usual 75 or '80 per cent collected up to this time, but 50 or to per cent is available.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY LIVESTOCK MARKET. Kansas City Stock Yards, AprU 2. LIVESTOCK PRICES LOWES THIS WEEtr. MODERATE RECOVERY IN CATTLE. Following disturbed labor conditions that prevailed in the past two weeks, the move ment of livestock early this week was lib eral and prices declined sharply tn all departments. However, by the latter part of the week, the surplas supply had been absorbed and there was a better feeling in the trade with about all the loss in cat tle regained, and both hogs and sheep steady. Opening runs for next week will be moderate. THIS WEEK'S RECEIPTS. Receipts this week were 33,800 cattle. 4, 013 calves, 42.200 hogs, and 31.230 sheep, compared wit 26.250 cattle, 3,309 calves, 23.soo hogs and 32,400 sheep last week, and 36,700 cattle, 4,950 calves, 60,300 hogs, and 3o,3u0 sheep a year ago. BEEF CATTLE. Tuesday was the low day this week fori fat cattle The market then showed a de-; eline of 50 to 75 cents from last week's close. Wednesday demand was stronger, a; quarter was added '1 nursday, -end today with few steers offered some sales were as high ns last week s close, tho salesmen regarded the market as still 25 cents under a week ago. Because supplies he!d back ill preceding weeks have been absorbed, the market now is in a stronger position than lost Friday.

Heavy hogs are sharply lower than light weights and pigs and stock grades are at a big premium over fat hogs Receipts have been moderate, and the decline in prices was caused by a decrease demand for pork and pork products tn the east SHEEP AND LAMBS. Lambs declined 50 to 75 cents, and sheep were off 25 c:nts. On the close choice light weight lambs were quoted at $9.00 to $9.25, vearlings $7.25 to $S.00. wethers $6.0 to $6.50, and ewes $5.00 to $5.90.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1921 I'm '.J V IN CITY POLITICS "Combines" Freely Humored Among Local Candidates. Alleged Alliances Stir Up Inter est in Campaign. BY MILDRED REED. Equally as interesting as4 the out come of the mayoralty election is the Personnel of the city commission that ill result from the contest Tuesday. The way In which members of the commission who are elected will work together means much to the future of Topeka. From what political dope sters have gathered there are two dis tinct forces at work for control of the city commission in the next few years. With the re-election of Corwine un certain and doubt existing over the outcome of the W. H. Wasson-F. L.. Stevens race for finance commission, there are two changes possible in the personnel of the commission. The re election of W. S. Hancock, street com missioner; Robert D. McGiffert, park commissioner, and Wilbur A. Stan field, water commissioner, is predicted generally, with the three having gen erous margins. Lack of harmony between Wasson and Stanfield on the city commission has been noticeable for many months. Stanfield obviously is a strong sup porter of F. L. Stevens, for many years cashier in the city water depart ment. Should Wasson be defeated by elevens, tnen both Stanfield and Btevens" would serve on the commis-i Bion. Their interests on the commis felon would be closely united. One more vote in harmony with the Stan-field-Stevens combination would con trol action of the commission. It ap- pears that the easiest third vote that Stanfield and Stevens could annex would be that of the non-committal present mayor who has practically always agreed with Stanfield in com mission problems. Stanfield has de nied that he is supporting Mayor Cor wine in his campaign for re-election, but the rumor of the Corwine-Stan-field-Stevens alliance is current among city politicians. Porter-McGlffert Duet. The alleged alliance of Stanfield. Stevena and Corwine is one prophecy of the future control of the commis sion. Another would be the probable harmonious action of Porter, McGif fert and Hancock, should Porter be the next mayor. Porter and McGif fert are working together openly. Neither denies he is supporting the other. Hancock has not been throw ing his influence into anyone's cam paign, but is known to be friendly to the Porter-McGiffert combination and would more than likely act ac cordingly in future commission activi ties. The re-election of Wasson would break the rumored Stanfield-Stevens-Corwine plan of controlling the com mission, even tho Corwine should be re-elected. In the same way the election of Porter as mayor would break the combination, even tho Was son is defeated. The election of Por ter nnd the re-election of Wasson probably would provide greater unan imity of action than any other result ofthe contest. WASHBURN ARTIST RECITAL Jennie F. W. Johnson of Chicago at Chapel Tuesday Evening. Tuesday evening the last number of the Washburn Artists course, in the form of a song recital, by Jennie F. W.

THIS WEEK'S STAFF. Editor: Slialer Magaw. Reporters: First hour class. The annual staff put on an assembly Wednesday, March SO. for the pur pose of advertising the June '21 an nuals. William Bemple, Tom Thomas, and Charles Curry preceded the an nual playlet with short talks, giving detailed reasons for the purchase ot annuals by the students. The sketch consisted fo five scenes: the palace of King Sunflower I: the hall in T. H. S. near the bulletin board; the college; old folks.at home: and the coming of Prince Sunflower V. The ideas carried out was that of a dream. King Sunflower I, representing the first Sunflower annual, feared that his son. Prince Sunflower V, would not be well received by the students. How ever, after the students had been un der the spell of a fairy and had seen the advantages of possessing an an nual, they received the prince with much enthusiasm. An idea, unique in assemblies, was the distribution of programs for the sketch. At a meeting of the student council held on Wednesday, March SO, Herbert Abmeyer was unanimously elected secretary of the high school point system. His duties are to record the points made by students in the vari ous activities, and to prohibit par ticipation In too great a number of organizations by one person.

Badders Motor Co. 425-27 Jackson St. Phone 2114 1 1 n n (Political Advertisement) Think (Editorial, April 1, Topeka State Journal) TOPEKA'S TTEXT MAYOR. It la moat evident, from the large Corwlna opposition vote In the recent city primary, that Topekans are desir ous ot a chance In the executive office of the city hall. It Is not -what Mayor Corwlne has dona that has turned the tide ot publio sentiment hut what he, apparently, has not done In the han dling; of olvlo affairs. The commission form of g-overn-ment provides that the mayor must be responsible for the police administra tion. Mayor Corwlne'a police pro tection has been woefully lacking. Topeka has been weak in police protection. Mr. Corwlne has had two years to strengthen It and he has failed. It Is not necessary to give him two years more. W. L. Porter, nominated with Mr. Corwlne, has proven to Topeka his worth as a progressive, wide awake pnblio official. In his experience on the commission and In civic matters he Is well acquainted with the needs of the police department. To trust Mr. Porter with tho responsibility of such an important task is, at least, an experiment worth while. These are the calm, unbiased judgments of two con servative Topeka newspapers, whose only interest in the City Campaign is the BEST INTERESTS OF TOPEKA. THINK IT OVER. PORTER FOR MAYOR COMMITTEE.

Trefry Motor Co. 1014 Kansas Avenue Phones 21 and 2424 ver! (Editorial, March 30, Topeka Daily Capital) THE MAYOR CONTEST. Ex-Commissioner Porter's lead -vof Mayor Corwlne was the surprise ot the primary and the significant thing In the primary. The fact that he could not obtain a lead at the primary In dicates a breakup of the combination that carried Corwine thru two years ago and a great falling off among his supporters at that time. Mayor Corwine has lost a good part cif hiw following because of his failure to show a serious Interest In carrying ont the program which he made much of as h;? platform. The low standard of police service that he stood for and was satisfied with, being driven much against his will to consent to the In vestigation which ended In turning his police administration out, undoubted ly hurt the mayor In public estimation. Tho administration has followed a drifting policy and depended for ap proval upon the plea that it has not done anything. On the other hand, there Is nothing in Mr. Porter's record as commissioner to alarm conservative people. He showed himself a progressive, level headed man who attended closely to the duties of his office, made a study, of the city's needs and kept in touch with the city's business Interests.

It is the slowness in movement of building material which is keeping freight business down, according to railroad officials. The strain crop, which constitutes so large a share of the freight business of the roads in the middle west, has been on the In crease during the past month and has been greater than in the same months of previous years; Hut building ma terials have not been moving as they ordinarily do, and thereby the freight business has suffered. A meeting at the Calvary Baptist church Friday night was neia lor tne purpose of starting a campaign among colored Topekans lor tne release oi the sixty-one colored soldiers im prisoned for participating in the race riots of Fort Sam Houston three years ago.

The national association is en deavoring to get 100,000 persons to even the petitions. Do you know that lumber and building materials are down? Have you talked to us lately about building? Do you know how reasonably you can make needed repairs, build your new home, or remodel your old one? Better get in touch with the situation at once. j The big building program that was expected in 1920 failed to develop. The manufacturers were caught with too large stocks, and were forced to turn them over at less than cost. We can show you a substan tial saving on every item in our line. j But it's only fair to tell you this condition' may be only temporary. The country is short more than a mil lion homes. Our own city is short hundreds of homes. When people begin to do this long delayed building, demand will increase rapidly, creating-another shortage of materials, and prices will advance again. If you are planning to build, remodel, or repair, come in and let us give you figures. Then when we show you the actual savings over last year's prices and show you how favorably present costs' compare with those of 1914, make your own decision. Get in touch with us today. J. B.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAD- SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1921 Railroad News of Week BY V. E. BUNDY. WANT NEW BOARD To Co-ordinate Facilities and Services of All Roads. Recommendations 3Iade to I. C. C. by S. D. Warfield, The organization of a railway board of managers, which would serve as an auxiliary to the interstate commerce commission, with its chief purpose the co-ordination of the facilities and service of all the railroads in the coun try, is urared in a statement which has been presented to Lhe chairman of j roa(j Fe railroad the sum of seven million dollars, which is" payable immediately. The money is due under the guar anty provisions of the transportation act, and is only a part of the amount which the road has coming from the government. The remainder of' the money, however, cannot be paid until a complete accounting for the period during which the road was operating under the guaranty provision has been completed. The interstate commerce certificate calls for $5,425,000 for the Santa Fe proper, and $1,575,000 for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe lines. The receipt of the money from the government does not necessarily mean any campaign of extensions or new lines, E. L. Copeland, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Fe, pointed out some time ago. The money will all be absorbed, he declared, in the cur rent liabilities and expenses of the HISTORY OF UNION" PACIFIC- the interstate commerce commission by S. Havies Warfield, president of the National Association of Owners of railroad Securities. J pamplilet Tells of Karly Days of Kan- An Emergency Exists. gas Division of Road. The Warfield statement declares' 4that an emergency exists both for the railroads and the public and that to secure the service which the roads must render and to keep them alive and going at the same time, requires the operation of some agency which does not exist at the present time. The organization suggested by War field is a board of forty members, with a chairman, several vice-chairmen, and other officers. The members of the board should be the twenty mem bers of the present National Railway Service corporation, who, with the concurrence of the service division of the, interstate commerce commission, phould name their own successors, and twenty officials constituting the five members each of the four railway group boards. Krom this national railway service board there would be organized ten committees, each committee with a certain phase of the railway operation of the United States in charge. Group divisions for the management of roads in the eastern, southern, western and southwestern regions are also pro vided for in the scheme. The aim of the board is to consoli date the services which the ,railways are able to render, without necessarily consolidating the physical properties of the road. It would act in conjunc tion with the interstate commerce commission. Eounded on Kroad Lines. "Results have now demonstrated that such an agency and organization lias become a pressing necessity if the railroads are to adequately and eco nomically function and remain pri ately owned and privately operated," (ays the statement. "The organiza tion that is now suggested is along "broader lines and is auxiliary to the Trunsportation Act of 1920, which is absolutely essential to the life of the railroads. Results now desired can only be accomplished thru the con tinued operation of the act, the rate making provisions of which are indis pensable, supplemented by the pro posed board." Congress is being urged to consti tute such a board as is suggested, at the present session, so that its opera tion may commence at once, for the relief of the railroads and the ship pers alike. SEVEN-DAY FREIGHT SERVICE. Vnlon Pacific Starts Direct New York to Tope k a Shipment. A seven-day freight service, direct from New York City to Topeka, has been inaugurated by the Union. Pa cific. The direct shipment of goods requires eight days less than the usual trip, and eliminates three transfers, with the attendant possibilities of damage to goods shipped. A system whereby the consignees of freight shipped over the seven-day service are notified of just when to expect its arrival, has been put into effect along with the special service. The railroads are better equipped to handle freight than they have been for many months in the past, and there is less freight to handle. There is plenty of equipment in the way of rolling stock, both cars and engines, on hand, at the present time. Ht'GE SUMS DI E RAILROADS. buuta Fe Has Seven Million Dollars Coming Eroti Government.

The Union Pacific has Issued a well- i illustrated and attractively printed pamphlet givine me msiory ui construction of the road and especially of the Kansas division, which is being distributed to the passenger and ticket agents along the division. The history of the Kansas division as given -in the pamphlet is as fol lows: Ground was broken at Wyandotte, Kan., near Kansas City,' in August, 1863; grading commenced in Septem ber. After one year about thirty seven mile3 of track had been com pleted to a DOint near Lawrence: Man hattan was reached in August, 1866: the line was completed into Denver Aue-ust 15. 1870. Part of the con struction was done by firms with which Generals Fremont and Palmer were connected. W. P. Cody. "Buf falo Bill," was at one time employed at a salary of J5U0 a month to provide buffalo meat for the construction grans. It is said that Cody killed more than 4,000 buffalo for this purpose with his breachloading rifle, "Lucrezia Borgia." Indian attacks were frequent and canseil much delav in the work. Sur veyors and graders were furnished arms by the government, and military escorts were provided. Nevertheless the boldness of the savages made it necessary to establish four military posts: Fort Riley. Kort Barker (near Ellsworth), Fort Hays and Fort Wal lace. The hostile tribes were the Sioux, the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, and Utes." The Denver Pacific railroad from Cheyenne to Denver was commenced in May, 1868, and after some financial vicissitudes was completed in June, 1870. In January, 1880, the Kansas Pa cific and the Denver Pacific were merged with the Union Pacific rail road. The history devotes a paragraph to each of the important towns along the Kansas division of the Union Pacific. Its description of Topeka asserts that the name of the town is an Indian word signifying "potato." SLUMP IK -FREIGHT BUSINESS. Railroads Report Iecrease of 10,814 Carloads in Week. The car service division of the American Railway association reports that the cars loaded with f reght during the week ending March 12 numbered 10,814 less than the previous week's list. The total number loaded during the week was 702,068. The record showed also a decrease of 117,621 cars as compared with the rec ord for the same week in 1920, when business was at Its peak, but an in crease of 802 cars over the cars loaded during the corresponding week in 1919. The loading of merchandise and miscellaneous freight, which includes manufactured products, totaled 433. 777 cars, an increase of 1,883 cars over the preceding week, while the number loaded with forest products totaled 82,484, an Increase of 288 over the previous week. Decreases compared with the week before, however, were reported in the number leaded with grain products, livestocks, coke, ore and coal. The number loaded with the latter totaled 136,097 cars, which is a new low mark. This total is 7,339 below that for the week of March 6. The south ern and Alleghany districts were the only ones in which the number of the cars loaded during the week of March 4 exceeded those for the same districts the week before. Compared with the corresponding week in 1920. decreases in all the dis tricts were reported. ALL WAGES DOWN In All Industries Labor's Share Has Been Seduced. Reports of U. S. Labor Dept.

H. v Da vis, hend nt tha ueparxment, and CUf Stratton, general secretary association, were speakers. Wages are on a decline thruout the United States in practically every in dustry. Reports to the department of labor show a progressive decline which, beginning in September, has followed business depression and price recessions. The full scope and extent of the re ductions so far made are not known. The department of labor has been get ting isolated reports for many months, but these have not been co-related, as general wage reduction surveys are outside of the usual line of statistical tabulation by the bureau of labor sta tistics. Reports received show wage reduc tions running as high as 33 per cent in the hosiery and underwear indus tries in February. Ethelbert Stewart, chief of the bureau of statistics, stated that wages practically thruout the country would be moved down in the general business and industrial read justment. The facts as gathered from govern ment sources are summarized as fol lows in-a dispatch to the Hew York Herald: 3,000,000 or More Idle. Conditions of employment have had much to do with wage reductions. Three million men or more are idle in the United States-. That 3,000,000 represents wage earners, willing work ers who are out of a job, and the labor surplus has figured largely in the wage reductions. Lack of Orders a Cause. In the. period from October 15 to November 15 last estimates in ten of the fourteen industries classified by the labor department showed reduc tions in wages, due to general lack of orders. Iron and steel wages increased dur ing the period. Those in the automo bile industry struck a balance, both slight increases and decreases being reported. The car building Industry was likewiseyon the turn at that time. In the cotton industry a small number of mills reported 10 per cent Increases, but the majority reduced wages 20 per cent. Slight decreases were made In hosiery and underwear. Wages in the woollen industry were decreased. The silk industry was on the turn. Since that time large corporations like the General Electric have reduced wages. The United States Steel cor poration, however, .has stood on the existing wage scales and has reduced neither wages nor prices, but many of the independents have cut wages. TAtest report to the department of labor, covering conditions in January, show that during the period Decem ber 15, 1920, to January 15, 1921, there were wage changes made by establishments in thirteen of the four teen industries; In each of these In dustries one establishment granted an increase to employes.

PREVENTION IS FjnST AIM, Modern Welfare Work Most Com bat Ignorance, Crime, Alcohol Ism and Vice. Prevention is the aim of all modern welfare work. Physicians and social workers insist on the inter-dependence of ignorance, poverty, sickness, crime, alcoholism and vice. Many are indifferent, assuming that such th tries do not exist in Kansas. But the Provident association and the Red Cross and the Tuberculosis as sociation and the boards of health and the doctors are confronted with them daily. Here is a typical case: A request came to the Provident association for a pair of shoes for a school girl. It was a simple order easily rniea, out the Provident association suspected that it was only a symptom of deeper trouble, so a visitor made an investi gation. Her findings were: A family living In squalor; a father dying of tuberculosis;- a wife trying to nurse him and take care of the home, too; on ex amination she had tuberculosis; a boy 16 years old out of control and run ning the streets; two smaller girls, one of whom had tuberculosis, and an 18-year-old girl, the main support of the family, who had grown discouraged ana was running the streets. Altogether quite a problem; ignor ance, poverty, sickness and moral de linquency, all mixed up so that it was difficult to distinguish cause from effect. The father was put in an Institution where he finally died. The mother and girl had incipient cases and have made an apparent recovery under sanatorium treatment. The lS-year- old boy kept insisting he wanted to be a farmer, so the right kind of farmer was found who hired him and he ;s doing nne, is helping the family at home and has Just finished a course at Manhattan. The eldest girl was placed in a better work, given suitable encouragement, and has become quite a success. These two, with a little help, support the mother and the two younger children. But it would not be safe to drop the family now. Thov mt v- Al lowed for years. Their moral fibre may be questionable and they may need help to hold them up.

ANNOUNCING Q PAIGE NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION WEEK For one week commencing Monday, April 4th. our Dealers in every section of the nation will conduct a special series of demon strations with the complete line of Paige cars. Our "Daytona 6-66" model now holds the world's stock car record for speed. It will be the purpose of Demonstration Week to prove that any Paige car in the hands of an unprofessional driver is indeed Master of the Highway. No other stock car has ever equalled ur own speed record of 102 8 miles per hour. No other Oar, we are con fident, can defeat a Paige in the milder tests of general demonstra tion work. By proving itself the fastest car, the Paige 6-66 has revealed qualities of endurance and strength that are be yond dispute. World's champion ship form is a guarantee of all 'round efficiency the best guarantee that the sporting world affords. But these are facts that we want you to establish for yourself, and Demonstration Week offers an nr rivaled opportunity. You have but to get in touch with our Dealer and he will book you for a ride that will prove finally convincing. Then, with an actual record of the tests, you will be in position to com pare the Paige 6-66 with any other motor car at any price on the American market You will also be able to determine whether the New Series "Olenbrook Siz-44" is or is not (the greatest dollar for dollar value in the light six field. Surely no man could ask for a fairer or more sportsmanlike proposition. Whether you contemplate buying a motor car or not, we very cordially in vite you to ride with Paige during the coming week.

This section of the Red Cross also makes visits to the disabled ex-service Despite the fact that not one cent of money taken in at the box office of the Novelty theater Friday will go into the theater treasury. Manager R. J. Mack is out working for a packed house afternoon and night. He wants Topeka, scored on the books of the vaudeville actors association as a "Hundred Per Cent Vaudeville" town. Friday Is National Vaudeville day and on that day all the managers of the country have agreed to contribute the day's receipts to the national in surance fund for the actors of the business. This is the second year the agreement has been in effect. It was started last year by the managers as a recognition of the efforts of the actors during the war in giving their time to the entertainment of the sol diers. Be Special BUI. The fund is used for the relief of disabled actors and the upkeep of a national club house for vaudeville performers in New York City. In ad dition, each actor so disposed, and most of them are. may for 10 per year take out a thousand-dollar life Insurance policy, the cheapest policy sold anywhere, they boast. Last year Vaudeville day in Topeka was not a 100 per cent success, says Mr. Mack. This was because the agreement was not made until only a few days previous to the date set. This year Mr. Mack intends to make up for what was not done last year, and the benefit day has been announced to every audience all this week.

Using a combina tion body, scissors and arm lock, Joe Stecher of Nebraska pinned Jack Linow to the mat last night after one hour and fourteen minutes of wrestling. Linow outweighed the for mer champ by ten pounds. service men or members of the fami lies of ex-service men. Many cases that required work outside of the of fice were handled, accompanied by various visits that were necessary to obtain results. During the same month three non residents oi Kansas City, who had been taken care of in the local hospi tals by representatives of the home service section, were allowed their claims on the evidence submitted by the office of the Red Cross. Thru enthusiastic campaigning. many of the Kansas posts have either equalled or exceeded their 1920 mem-! bership. The Charles E. Heintz Post 1 at Elkhart heads the list with a per- L centage increase of 270. The posts next in order according to percentage J are: Edmond, 166.66; Weir, 152.38;' Sterling, 142.8; Logan, 86.66. j The leading new posts In tne state are Mulberry, 313.33 per cent; Eu reka. 185.66 per cent; Lyons, 180 per cent; Goff, 166.66 per cent, Gove, 160 per cent As a result of a play that the Osage County post at Lyndon had been giv ing in a number of towns in Osage and Coffey counties Legion posts have been organized at Melvern and Car bondale and Auxiliary units at both of these places and at Overbrook. Other new posts organized since the beginning of the campaign are at Clements and Ellinwood. Many of the posts are running full page ads in the newspapers for both The American Legion and the Aux iliary. Local business concerns are helping out and aiding in. the cam paign work. Minneapolis Is showing a lot of pep both In the Legion and in the Aux iliary. It Is one of the towns that is advertising extensively for the organi zations and is increasing the member ship of both. The Minneapolis post widll manage the local Chautauqua this summer. At the present time, the outlook for reaching the goal of 25.000 members for the American Legion is very fa vorable, and it is expected that the membership will not only reaoh that goal but exceed it. Closer co-operation between Ameri can and Canadian veterans of the World War is Indicated by the fact that representatives from American Legion posts at Watertown and Os wego, N. Y will join with the Kings ton, Ontario unit of the Army and Navy Veterans In Canada In its an nual banquet ana ceieoration or est. Julian's Day April 22 and 23. St. Julian s Day is commemorative of the day when Canadian troops first encountered German poison gas near Ypres. Belgium, and Buffered ex tremely heavy losses. "The recent occurrences In New York and the splendid stand taken by the American Legion and other American patriotic bodies." a letter .from the national executive council of the Canadian society says, "have reminded us here in Canada more forcibly than any other event since America's formal entry Into the war, that the veterans of both countries must stand, and continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in-defense of our common liberties, which, stripped of unessentials, are one. and the same." The state-wide American Legion and Women's Auxiliary membership campaigns have taken on the appear ance of war-time bond and Red Cross drives in many localities, according to reports reaching Frank E. Samuel, state adjutant. Numerous local posts have used full-page advertisements in the news papers in co-operation with local mer chants. In several towns. Including Burlington, church services have been given over to the Legionnaires to ex plain the aims and ideals of the two affiliated organizations. The auxiliary at Pittsburg has divided into two sides for a "war of the roses." The side which has the white rose as its symbol is out to gain more new mem bers than the group designated by the red rose. The Legion post at Lyndoi has presented a play at several points in Osage and adjoining counties with the result that a half dozen new posts and auxiliary units have been organ ized. The ten-day Intensive drive of the Legion ends Thursday, but the full re sults will not be tabulated for several days. The auxiliary will continue Jts campaign to April 21. The latest tabulation showed the following auxiliary units leading their districts: First, Topeka, 35 members; second, Paola, 41; third, Sedan, 90: fourth,1 Burlington, 48; fifth, Salina, 81; sixth. Smith Center, 113; seventh. Hutchin son, 49: eighth, Wellington, 53. St I 5 r PARKS ARE NEEDED Horticultural Society Urges Building of Best Places. Should Provide Camping Grounds for Travelers Thro State. In conjunction with a program of highway construction Kansas should provide parks in every locality which will offer to the traveler shade, water and a place to rest and lunch. This is the recommendation of the state horticultural society which is backing :he movement sponsored by the Kan sas Academy of Science and the bot any department of the University of Kansas for establishment of state parks and recreation grounds. The eastern half of Kansas has thousands of suitable areas for parks which have much natural beauty, ac cording to the report of a special com mittee of the horticultural society on state parks. With but little added ex pense, the report states, these areas, might be made very inviting, and would give Kansas a reputation for hospitality. In western Kansas, it is pointed out, every place where a state highway crosses a stream there is an opporunity for a park area. This is especially true where highways cross from north to south such river sys terns as the Republican. Solomon. Sa line, Smoky Hill, Arkansas, Cimarron and their tributaries. Need Summer Resorts. "In the making of Kansas," says the report, "Nature evidently regard ed the need for farm and grazing land, and there are no such areas within her borders as the great natural parks. In addition to maintaining parks for the preservation of areas of natural The Sid Wrightman orchestra of Springfield, Mo., will play a four-day engagement in Topeka starting Monday evening, according to the announce ment made by R. A. Moll, under whose auspices the Topeka appearance of the organization Is given. The orchestra, which is composed entirely of college men, will play Monday and Tuesday night at Kellam Hall, and Thurs day and Friday nights at Steinberg's, furnishing an entirely new program of jazz and popular music. The organization is composed of a piano player, a violin, two saxaphonea, a banjo and the drums. It is now touring the middle west making a schedule of dance appearances In all the chief cities in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Some of the special numbers that will be played bv the! orchestra while in Topeka: "Coral Seas," "Rose," "Wang Wang Blues", and "Home Again Blues". beauty or historical Interest, is the great pfcrk purpose of providing areas for recreation and amusement of the people. Kansas has no great areas of lake or coast for fishing, no moun tains to climb, and the world knows that corn fields and summer resorts are not identical territory. ."It seems probable that for some time the recreation of Kansas will be gained thru automobiling to places of interest. In the making of parks the efforts of Kansans may well be directed toward making the most of the small areas which are suited for park purposes." The committee suggests the dedica tion in every locality of parks as me morials to heroes of the world war, and the planting of walaut trees in all parks as mementoes of loyalty and patriotism. Mat Coach Wins His Bout. Chicago, April 2. Charles Preha, University of Illinois, wrestling coach, defeated Walter Evans in two out of three falls of their match here last night. Glass Bell Room Pleases the Kiddies Wonderful Scenery Made of Crystal Shown In "Cinderella" Episode of Film Now Being Shown in Topeka. Scenery made entirely of glass is a possibility, but not for any stage pro duction. Cecil DeMille, Paramount director, has in the "Cinderella" vls sion one of the trfost beautiful scenes of "Forbidden Fruit" being' shown at the Isis theater this week, accom plished a new feat in the screen flrami, and those who have seen the set de clare it a shame that one gets but three minutes of it In the whole pro duction. It took six weeks' hard labor to erect the set. The incorporation of the "Cinderella" vision of the story of "Forbidden Fruit" serves two purposes. It helps explain much of the development of the plot and gives Mr. DeMille a chance to exercise his colorful imagi nation to its fullest extent -and his audiences one of those scenes for which he has gained such a reputation in the screen world. This episode was filmed In a stage constructed entirely of glass. A ball room floor, with walls and a wide staircase of pure crystal were in cluded and a lighted waterfall make the central portion of the setting. Stately glass pillars supporting baskets of blown glass fruits serve as foun tains and wide pools of water, peopled with black swans alternate with the crystal of the floor. One section of this floor was so constructed that a bronze clock could appear as it struck the hour of twelve when "Cinderella" must leave. Kathlyn Williams plays the part of the fairy godmother in the "Cinder ella" episode and Agnes Ayres por trays the part of the little step child with whom the prince falls in love. -Topeka children who have heard the story of "Cinderella" are going wild over this interpretation of their favor- I ite fairy story. It is Just as they had imagined it. Played Cards Sunday Are Fired. Abilene, April 2.

Love" ing drama s of the silver sheet a 'poignant drama of the soul", comes to tiie Orpheum the first three days of next week. Louise Giaum the"Em press of Emotion" has put into "Love" every atom of her versatile ability. The story deals with the kind of love and their power over one another. Constance Talmadge in '"Happiness a la mode" will be the feature for the last three days. The troubles of a young husband and wife, their at tempts to make a success of their marriage and their mistakes and repa rations, form the subject matter for the story. This picture will afford amusement for all. At the Grand. (By Elizabeth.) The movies are setting the very devil from the legitimate stage! Yes, they are! And it isn't nearly as punny as it sounds. It's a literal statement of fact, for Molnar's famous play, "The Devil." has been filmed with George Arliss, the celebrated English actor, who interpreted the title, role of the piece in America, as the star. This famous drama was first shown in 1907 in Budapest, and then In Vienna. It created a furore and the following season invaded the theaters of every capitalon the continent, -Europe, however, had only one devil outi of Molnar, whereas in New York there were two. One production was offered at the Belasco theater with George Ar liss in Jhe title role and the other at th Garden theater with Edwin Stev en as the evil one. Supporting Geoige Arliss In "The Devil," which comes to the Grand for one week commencing with Monday's matinee, is a cast of players who fit their parts perfectly and are artists of established reputation on both stage and screen. Probably no picture that has been brought to Topeka for years has come with more flattering recommendations than "The Devil," this week'Siattrac tion at the Grand. At the Isis. (By Jones.) Owing to many requests Betty Compson In "Prisoners of Love" will play a return engagement at the Isis Monday and Tuesday of next week. Betty Compson.

"Old Black Joe Land," a Tom ii i v. wh a tvulcnl Dixie set ting, is offered as the feature. Happy Golden, as a negro mammy, i i best and he has carried this part for several seasons with increasing suc cess. Viola Lewis, as the daughter, handles the part to perfection, and Sam Gilder Is an honest-to-goodness dyed-in-the-wool Old Black Joe. Mr. Gilder is 70 years of -age, and iias hidden back t the burnt cork .for sixty years; today he is .the oldest Jiv ing exponent of the black face art. Budwin Walsh and Ethyle Austin present a sketch entitled "At the1 Beach," and introduce several song specialties in addition to a rapid-fire pitter-patter of -talk. The comedy is good and Miss Austin's beauty is a pleasing aid to her vocal ability. In 1917 she was one of a beauty sextette with the Ziegfeld Follies. Mr. Austin has won no small amount of fame as a daring auto racer, a year ago finish ing firsin a speed contest at the Min neapolis State fair. Bernard and Ferris are a couple of good looking young men with excep tionally good voices and a strong line of comedy with sadness conspicuous by its absence. McMahon and Wheeler, In a rapidly moving whirl of novelty and wire Ucrobatic stunts, and the Newkirk and 'Fayne Sisters with a bunch of new songs, splendidly sung, and a package of stories tellingly told contribute further to the enjoyment of this bill. At the Crystal. (By "Bill") Neal Hart's latest picture In his great outdoor series is said to be the best he has ever made. It is a story of the great Northwest, replete with thrills and excitement The story dates back to the days -of the Chippewa Indians and their mythi cal belief in the spirit of the aurora borealis, which led them from dark ness to light, from hunger to plenty. The picture is entitled "Skyfire," and is unique for the reason that it shows what very few persons have ever seen the glow of the Northern Lights in the sky.- This was ajomplished by means of special electreral equipment. The picture, "Skyfire," will open at the Crystal theater on Monday. Tom Mix in "Desert Love," starts a three-day run on Thursday.

Especially is -this remi niscing interesting in the case of Galli-Curci, the celebrated soprano, who will be heard here in recital at the auditorium, Tuesday, April 19. Gaui-Curci is only thirty years old now, and yet her lite has been rich in experience. She began her musi cal career as a pianist (the great Mascagni heard her play at the age of four and advised her to study) if vi L 7 S Galll-Curcl. and she developed into a prize winner J of the Milan conservatory at the age lof sixteen. This honor only served lithe young Amelita as a prop in the itime of adversity, for her father met With business reverses, and she had to give piano lessons to support a family of five. Galli-Curci recalls with a smile that she gave lessons for less than a dollar, and her chief regret was not the hard work, but the fact that she wore her shoes out so rapidly going about from lesson to lesson. It is almost incredi ble that this experience should have been the lot of the world-famous so prano, who, ten years after her period of struggle, earned in one season in American three times the annual sal ary of the president of the United States.

The Kotarians at. the, Grand had a packed bouse and the Grand holds nearly 1,500. At the same time Schumann-Heink had a half an audi torium full and that means approxi mately the same number. The Nov elty had a full house for .the first show as had the Orpheum and Isis theaters, which means an additional 3,000 and It is a safe guess to say that with the afternoon audiences and those who attended the smaller thea ters in the city, there were two thou sand others entertained in some place. All this is exclusive of those who at tended the dances and other amuse ments offered that night. One of the representative motion picture houses of the city has scored an attendance of over. -4, 000 the first four days of this week, with indica tions of completing the week at the same rate of success. Two others had in the same time aggregated over S.000 attendance. With this on which to base a estimate, it is safe to place this week's theater attendance In Topeka at approximately 35,000, or over half the population accredited this city Dy the 120 census. What was considered by him as a heavy estimate was made by one of the leading pastors of the city, when he declared that possibly 16,900 per sons attended the Easter services In Tobeka.

BY LOIS ROBINETTE. Hike and the world hikes with you. Hide and you ride alone. Springtime, the rolling campus, with its pine trees and dog-tooth violets, and the shady banks of the Shunga nunga jmake a stronger appeal to the Eds and Co-eds of Washburn than even trig and history. Just as in Noah's day, when the "animals came two by two," one sees Washburnites on every hand strolling, or resting in some secluded spot. One day last week when everything fairly shouted "Spring is here I" (be fore the last installment f winter arrived) one of the younger profs and the manager of the "Review," donned their hiking toges and fared forth. With no definite goal in mind, they struck out 'cross country, thru farm yards and cornfields, ending as most hikers generally do with the woods along the creek. Tramping thru the tangled under brush,, "tearing under barbed wire fences and crossing and recrossing the Shunganunga, they drank in the beau ties of nature. All of a sudden, as tho directed by some telepathic power, their gaze fell on Ed and Co-ed seated close apart on a log, partly hidden by some bushes. They sat there, hardly daring to breathe for fear of7 being observed by the interlopers on their little Para dise. But the Prof and his companion.

Halting their steps on the creek bank, not ten feet away from the In visible couple,' the Prof exclaimed, "My, but isn't it a wonder day! Spring is certainly here. Just listen to those birds! And look at that water so warm-looking. Oh boy! It makes me think of the good old days when I was a kid, and the old swimmiu' hole 'n everything!" He paused a moment, and then as tho struck by a brilliant inspiration, brofte forth, 'Say, when could we find a better day to go in swimming? My skin's pot sort o' cracked and parched since the last time I 'dove' in. What do you say?" His companion heartily agreed with him. Off came their shoes and socks, then their collars and ties, followed by coats and vests, and just as the last buttons of the shirts were undone there, was an awful crash in the under-brush back of them. Looking around they saw the hitherto invisi ble Ed and Co-ed making their get away thru the woods, P. D. Q. Donated by Topeka.

J -V f K: r 3 Mayor Corwine never built the State House Dome, the Post Office, the Santa Fe Shops, or the Melan Bridge but he HAS HAD one of the most successful administra tions in the history of the city. There has been less crime, of eyery description, in Topeka, during ths past two years, than any city of its size in the United States. ?1 Topeka has. the most efficient .Police and Fire Departments of any xity of its size in the United States. The Industrial Court has absolute jurisdiction in the fixing of all rates for Public Utilities. Why Corwine Should be Given a Second Term Viewing the subject from a fair and just standpoint, the best interests of the City will be promoted by the election of Mayor Corwine to a'second term for the fol lowing reasons: 1. His administration has been business-like and efficient. v.. V v 2. His administration has been free from graft and even from suspicion of graft. 4 3. In meeting visitors as official representative of the City he has uniformly made a fine impression. 4. The fact that another man wants the office is not f a good reason for making a change. 5. Mayor Corwine has worked in harmony with his associates, and has been commendably modest in not claiming all the credit for the accomplishments of the administration. 6. A second term is not only a deserved recognition of good service, but is of general benefit to the city by permitting proper completion of many projects neces- sarily left incomplete at the end of a two-year term. 7. The prompt settlement of the. squabble between the Police Judge and Police Chief met with general ap- i proval. v..,.:. 8. The curses of city life liquor, gambling and sex 1 vice have been kept at a minimum. 9. The success of the non-partisan commission form of government in cities depends upon banishing parti sanship and boss rule from election campaigns. CORWINE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE Political AdTertlaement.

It is always -one loaned her tftftf the courtesy f the Ddge Motor company. Recently, when she visited the Iode plant, she audibly wished that she was not on the road so much, so she could enjoy a car, and the iSttdge otficial showing her thru the factory Im mediately saw a chance for publicity, so he equipped her with a letter te all Dodg a sen i instructing them to turn over to her use one of their best cars when .she arrives In any town. I KE TELLS 'OF TDFEKI j Old Resident Gives Some Suggestions Regarding Ctty. 4'I sometimes wonder," said n old itizen this morning, "Whether the old adage about familiarity breeding- con tmpt, does not occasionally lead us to forget that community futures are de pendent In a measure upon the pur pose and activity of their inhabitants, just as our personal futures grow out of our own energies and the direction which we give to them. .'This morning, as I walked along Kansas avenue near the Rock Island station, the lettering on the corner stone of a brick building opposite the station caught my eye. I suppose every inhabitant of Topeka knows that that stone records the fact that the first log cabin on the site of To peka was erected there in 1854. As I crossed the track, looked up the broad street climbing the slope into the blue sky and saw the attractive buildings, silhouetted against it and shimmering in the morning sun, I thought to myself, 'Is this the Topeka of our imagination?' Io we picture anything more beautiful than this, our all-ready beautiful capital city? Io we evr approach it with a vision of high things as Gareth did the Arthur ian city of Camelot? Or are we satis fied that Topeka is now a pretty good place in which to live, and rest satis fied. "This musing led to another thought. It was this: 'The Topeka that we" see te not an accident. It is the result, of the dreaaae and labors of the present and preceding genera tions. Its broad avenues, Us .pave ments, its tree-shaded streets. Its lit tle circles. at intersecting streets, yes, its neat and uniform gutters framing the city, are the fruit of someone's foresight, appreciation of trees, and variety of pattern skill in the use of a yard stick and surveyor's level, ex cellence of workmanship in mixing cement. They are thought realized.' "Are we doing all that we can to put our city on a higher plane for our children Are we going to do as much for them, as our fathers have done for us? 'In these days growth, only thru common purpose can a maximum of progress be secured. That is the rea son that I h;ive read with interest what is proposed in the re-organization of the Chamber of Commerce. We have a number of organizations to help us by making suggestions, and to socialize our method of living. What I think we need now is a body so rep resentative of every interest in the city, that it can take our socialised men and women and set them to work to pettier for the welfare of Topeka. It's deeds that count, after all. "Our Chamber of Commerce has shown what can be done by such a body, but it is hampered by Insuffi cient funds and it does not include all who ought to be working for our city in a -community-wide body. There are many things that we want. We can get them quicker if we work together for them." of rapid urban organization and MRS. IIUIjSK IS APPOINTED.

The absurdity of the claim made by a labor paper that contractors tack on 60 to 100 per cent profit to th mechanics' wages may be seen in the bids for the filtration plant. There was a wide margin between the low and the high bidder, and the price to be paid is IS1.406 below the engineer's estimate. Was the engineer figuring on a profit of 50 to 100 per cent on the mechanics' wages? If he were, the successful bidder appear to have arranged for a much smaller profit. The truth is that the contractor us ually figures a margin of 10 per cent on the total cost of a .building, for his profit. Few persons, perhaps, do not know this. Misrepresentation Will not build houses nor furnish work for idle men. If'the statement of the labor paper were true, contractors would be interested in paying high wages, since low wage scales would reduce their profits. A convention was called at Devil's; Lake, North Dakota, this week, the object of which was to organize a res cue party to deliver the state govern ment from the clutches of the Non partisan League. Probably Kansas will be wise enough not to permit the league to Imbed its tentacles in the body politic. The effort that Is being made by the deposed emperor of Austria to get his job back is illustrative of the enormous appetite for trouble pos sessed by some persons. Why any man would prefer to give up a Quiet home in Switzerland to become the head of a bankrupt and revolution- torn country, is difficult to under stand. It is doubtful that Count Ho henzollern would be so foolish. A slash in restaurant prices in Chicago is reported, but the shores of Lake Michigan are a long way from TOpeka and price reductions travel slowly if at all. Meals in the better class of Topeka restaurants cost the same that they did before the big drop in meat, eggs, butter, potatoes. flour, sugar and coffee. Statistics show that in 1920 there was a grand total of 690,914 em ployes of the federal government, civil and military. This was an increase ot 61.6 per cent over 1916, when the to tal number of employes was 427,549. A very largo proportion of the ad ditional number of employes it is pointed out are in the military estab lishments. The postal service has shown an increase in four years of 11.6 per cent and all the time the service grew worse. The foreign trade of the United States is declining steadily, yet leaders in Congress are planning to reduce It still further by increasing the duties on Imports and even are talking about an embargo. LETS STICK TO FACTS. The controversy between the rail roads and their employes over wages and working agreements now in prog ress, finally will be settled on its merits, and the end will not be hastened by the introduction on either side of statements incapable of proof. A. II. Norris, chairman of the Santa Fe machinists, for Instance, is re ported to have declared that the United States Chamber of Commerce ,u Us affiliated organizations have raised a fund of $500,000,000 to fight labor organization, and that $27,000, 000 of that amount has been allotted to the effort to destroy the national railroad labor agreement. While this statement may find credence among members of the labor unions, the pub lic will demand proof. The chairman of another union is reported to have said te an audience of railway employes: "You have a law In this state which permits the railroad" bosses to fire you whenever they please; but If you quit work, the sams lav will send you to jail." This statement simply is not true. There Is no law designed to prevent a man from stopping Work when he chooses. The federal railway labor board U trying to ascertain the facts and its conclusions probably will be accepted by the public. Charges and counter charges made by either party to tho controversy, out of court, will have little If any Influence on the result. THE STORM HAS PASSED. The present industrial situation In the opinion of David R. Forgan, presi dent of the National City bank of Chicago, is the worst that thfs country has experienced in many years. The so-called panics of 1893 and 1907 were not so disastrous because the reversal was neither so severe nor so sudden. This time, ha says, we fell from the heights of seeming prosper ity to the depths of depression almost over night. The wave of great vol ume, high prices and unprecedented profits broke, and we were confronted with an industrial panic in which buy ing almost ceased, cancellations of former orders were numerous, prices melted, and profits gave place to losses. In the last few months of 1920 many business concerns not only lost the profits of many preceding months, but in some cases of nany preceding years. Followed the passing of divi dends, the cutting of overhead ex pense, the cessation of unfinished new building, the discharging of employes all of which were necessary to the life of the particular -business, but harmful to the general situation by curtailing the general buying power. The Industrial conditions were pre ceded, or accompanied, by a shrinkage in the value of last year's crops esti mated at $5,600,000,000 and live stock suffered a corresponding decline In value. The quoted values of some staples, such as cotton and wool, be came merely nominal, and the stuff was practically unsalable on a large scale. In former periods of depression Mr. Forgan points out we could sell largely to Europe and lean on her for financial support, but now Europe hangs like a millstone about our necks owing us billions on which she is as yet unable to pay the interest, and prevented from buying freely from us by 'her post-war political confusion, her financial inflation, and the conse quent break-down of her exchanges. In a discussion of this kind, he con tinues, the facts must be faced. Natu rally, the man on the street asks how such facts are possible in the richest country In the world, and who is to blame. If he reads a labor paper ho will be told that the whole thing is a conspiracy on the part of Capital and particularly "Wall Street" to- break the) unions. If he reads th& magazine article of some professor of political economy, he will be told that the banks and particularly the Fed eral Reserve Boardare to blame for allowing such expansion of credit and currency that prices soared and the inevitable crash f ollowea. If "Wall Street" is to blame, Mr. Forgan says, it must have used its supposed power as Samson used his not only to de stroy his enemies but himself for if anyone is walking the floor these nights it is "Wall Street" where all the business troubles of this country come to a head; and if the bankers are to blame, they now find them selves partners in numerous enter prises the condition of which gives them grave concern. The truth is that no one was to blame. Parallel conditions exist in all countries. We, end all the so-called civilized world have been and are in the grip of economio forces too strong for any class, any monetary power or any government to avoid. The expansion of credit, the high prices for labor and for goods, the fiotitious prosperity and the resulting Industrial crash were the inevitable and unavoidable aftermath of the costliest war In his tory. They are all explicable by and attributable to the workings of the Law of Supply and Demand. The conclusion of the writer is that the crisis has been passed, -that the worst is over, and that recovery, altho slow, has begun and will be sure. He says: "If the new administration at Washington disposes of our chiof problems wisely, I see no reason why the present year should not witness a return to fairly normal business. Re vision of federal taxation, the tariff, and railroad freights are fundamental. They are too complicated to discuss here, but they must be studied and settled scientifically not politically." In discussing business conditions for March Roger W. Babson estimates that the bank clearings, building per mits, and other -figures now coming out for the first two weeks of March show that the time and energy which 5,000,000 of our people have given to preparing these reports resulted in a loss of about $1,000,000,000 in sales, $550,000,000 in manufacturing, and $500,000,000 in other lines. If we add to this, he says, the time of book keepers, accountants, government tax officials, collectors and inspectors, we have a far greater loss. If the mak ing out of these returns did not cost one cent, he adds, the country would not be any better off. "The whole process is simply robbing Peter to pay Paul and the robbing costs the American people about $2,000,000,000 a year." While Mr. Babson's figures may be a little larger than the facts warrant, there is no room for doubt that a vast amount of money could be saved thru the establishment of a less complicated system of carrying on the public business, especially in the mat- ter of raising revenue. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKIX, Director, Washington, D. C. DIPLOMATIC DAMES. Washington, D. C, March 30. Most delicate of all the tasks confronting President Harding and his secretary of state at Washington today is that of selecting wisely the ambassadors and ministers who will represent the country and new administration abroad. In the selections of these various envoys, and of their secretaries and attaches, President Harding and Sec retary Hughes must not only take into consideration the fitness of these men for their jobs, but the qualifications of their wives also. "The wife is the most important of all the elements of an embassy," said Napoleon once in an explanation of his selection of the unknown husband of an attractive and accomplished woman for the post of ambassador at an important court. Nor is the wife of the diplomatic chief alonefimportant. The wife of the most unimportant secretary is capable of wrecking the success of a diplomatic mission. A tactless slip of the tongue on her part may give rise to a coolness between the home government and the foreign govern ment that only years will eradicate. The ambassador or attache himself is more easily forgiven for a preak than his wife. Madame must possess all the social graces, with wisdom and guile to boot. But she must not be too Circe-like. A "vamp" would not be tolerated in diplomatic circles. She must not be too extravagant, she must not talk too much and above all else she must not be given to the habit of writing indis creet letters. Illustrating the last "must not" Washington still remembers the case of the beautiful Lady Susan Townley, whose husband, Sir Walter Townley, was for a brief space charge d'affaires of the British embassy in Washington. The briefness of his sojourn here, after a distinguished diplomatic career else where, was attributed to Lady. Susan s fondness for letter-writing. Social Washington is still sore,, tho the case of Lady Susan is now more than 15 years old, over some of the things the witty young Englishwoman said about the elect of the capital in her letters home. Lady Susan was too witty and her friends at home en Joyed her clever satire so- much that they let some of the letters slip into the hands of a publisher. The charge d affaires was recalled after a few warm remarks had been passed between the two governments. Afterwards his government relented to the extent of sending him to a less im portant post. Most Blunders Hashed. The affair ot Lady Susan was given wide publicity but the diplomatic cus tom in such cases is to hush matters up, quietly to recall the offending envoy and never to let the general public into the secret of So-and-So's abrupt return home. How many promising careers have been wrecked by tactless wives, therefore, will never be publicly recorded. Equally numerous are instances in which the ambassador has been helped by a clever wife In his rise in the graces of the government to which he had been accredited. Perhaps one of the most striking incidents of that kind in Washington at present is the minister of the Croats, Serbs and Slov enes, to give him his full title. Dr. Slavko Y. Grouitch. Dr. Grouitch frankly admits that he owes much of his diplomatic success to his charm ing and attractive wife. She has, it may be added, kept a faithful account of her life as the wife of a.diplomat. If ever the volume is publfshed it should be a useful hand book for the wives of ambitious young secretaries and attaches. Madame Grouitch is American born. The chief qualification for a diplo matic post In Washington of late years seems to have been an American wife; so many ot the embassies and legations have American mistresses. Madame Jusserand, was Miss Elsie Richards of Philadelphia Tho Lady Geddes, wife of the British ambassa dor, is an Englishwoman, she was born in this country and spent the greater part of her girlhood here. The diplomatic routine seems to be, send a young, unmarried secretary to Washington, marry him to an Ameri can girl and later send him back as the head Of his country's mission. American Women Good Diplomats. The American woman seems to have been a success in the diplomatic field. Seldom if ever does news leak out of an American envoy recalled thru some break on the part of his wife. The young secretary attached to thn embassy or legation In Wash ington married to an American girl and sent away to other diplomatic posts Is usually successful. During the past few years there have been numer ous such marriages. Among them one recalls the marriage of Major Mar riott of the British embassy staff to Miss Maud Kahn, daughter of Otto Kahn of New York; the marriage of Senor Don Luis A. Penaherrera of the legation of Ecuador to Miss Argenta Perkins, and the marriage of Capt. R. R. Glen of the British staff to Miss Jane Story It will be remembered also, that Maj. Crauford Stuart, the storm cen ter of a alight diplomatic unpleasant ness between our government and Great Britain, married nn American girl shortly before his return home, which was at the reouest of the White House, it is said. Owing to the na ture of the disagreement over Major Stuart, it is difficult to say wnetner or not bavins: an American wife upon his arrival instead of his departure might have averted the trouble. Lord Grey returned to England himself a few montns later ana n. wm nered his return was hastened by the Stuart incident. It is probably owing to tns im portance of a wife In the diplomatic game that one finds but few bache lors and widowers at the head of mis sions. A bachelor or unattached secretary or attache is welcomed at any capi tal. The bachelor diplomat offers to the ambitious" society woman an op portunity to enter the diplomatic same by marriage, which is at pres ent the only opportunity open to her. It has been predicted, however, that the world will before long see a woman at the head of important dip lomatic missions. Lady Astor has already suggested to the British gov ernment that a feminine ambassador to the United States would undoubt edly be successful. The suggestion came shortly after the return home of Earl Grey and it was understood that his failure was largely re sponsible for Lady Astors remarks. Vhether or not President Harding will send a woman abroad to repre sent his administration is not known. Probably he will not. but it is safe to assume that he is scanning with the utmost care the histories of the wives of his prospective representatives. Evening Story Over the Hills. BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. IJ was just as well for th bulk of Janet's pocketbook, that there was no functionary of road laws lurking be hind hedges, as she stepped on the gas of her old sedan and sped along the country roads. Janet was rushing headlong Into freedom, if only for three weeks, and Jshe desired to shake the city turmoil from her tires as swiftly as possible. Any one casually glancing into the krear seat of the speeding sedan would suspect the reckless driver of being a thief and hurrying to safety with her booty of cretonnes, satins, damasks and undraped down cushions. However, Janet was not a thief and the bits of lovely materials In the rear seat had been bought and paid for months before. Janet was an Interior decorator of most flattering success, but for the moment she was tired to death of color schemes, furniture of varied periods and estimates. Espe cially was she weary of the gasps and groans of clients when they read prices of labor, materials and decora tions in general. So, she stepped on the gas and sned away from it all for a short time. She was grateful for the efficient help she had left in her exquisite little studio. Janet was embarking on that which sne considered a real holiday. Alone in her car with only the restful whirl of her faithful motor that responded to her lightest touch, she was going to seek some of those little lost villages that straggled away from the world in cozy abandon on hill or in vale. In tnem sne Hoped to find soma hoa- pitable soul who would take her in for a night's rest. She was going to be bright and cheery and chat to those people about her world, and put into their lives, if only for a passing hour, some fragment of happiness or inter est tne vital sparK of life. j. ne women, i Know, will enjoy chating," mused Janet, "and in places where they refuse money from me I win just do a bit of cheery decorating, Indian cretonne curtains or make a slip cover for the big chair before the open fire or make up a snappy little curtain or two. I know," ahe con tinued thoughtfully as she mechan ically guided her car past a great herd of sheep that straggled across the country lane, "that I can fling quite a bit of cheer along my way and that is what I love most to do." As a matter of fact. Janet scarcely had to offer bright cretonnes and silks and tassels when she was generously equipped with sunny hair, laughing oiue eyes and a fund of radiant chat ter. The first night of her holiday was more than successful. She knocked at the door of a quaint little dwelling tnat lay on the very fringe of the world, apparently, for there seemed not the twinkle- of a candle for miles save in its own windows. There was an old couple there who took Janet into their home as if she had been the granddaughter of a dear friend. There was hair cloth furniture and an old piano that seemed not to have known a human caress for fifty or more years, yet Janet managed a light ac companiment for a song or two. Little sentimental love songs they were, and as Janet turned from the piano she saw that the frail hands of the old coude had met and remained clasped. Janet held the hope that she too might one day know such enduring love. In that small home she left two soft and downy cushions, one for each of the big chairs before the fire or the sunny window. The farewells there were fraught with sadness. One never knew what another spring might bring. The next was a sturdy farmhouse, with a sturdy young couple and any amount of sturdy offspring. In that home Janet left a set of cretonne rompers that made the youngsters look like animate flower beds run ning about the farm. And so it went pain, pleasure, rest and chaos. Janet found them all in triune little lost villages thru which her adventure led her. And then she came te the cottage over the hill. It nestled against the side of so Bteep a descent that Janet caught her breath when she saw it hanging there after climbing the other side of the moun tain. It commanded a view of the Lebanon valley -that actually intoxi cated her with the sheer beauty of it. Fruit blossoms in glorious array lay scattered over the landscape and lent their delicate fragrance to the nostrils. Assuredly a great rivet must be em ployed to hold the small cottage to its perilous positi6n. Janet knew that she would seek a night's rest there If it wao hew last adventure on earth. She turned her car, now almost empty of gay colors, into the narrow lane tnat led to the cottage. It was just twilight and a serene stillness added to the charm of the evening. The last rays of sunlight flecked the hillside. Janet knocked gently at the door, while she stood on the wide veranda drinking In the panoramic scene be fore her. The man who opened the door had a view of Janet's back before the joy of glimpsing her face. "Oh!" exclaimed Janet rather startled, "I I wanted to know if you have an extra room. I should love to I spend the night here." She looked up into Dick Rawley s eyes. "I never saw so wonderful a view." Nor did I, confessed Rawley, ana there was an enigmatic smile along with the words that made Janet blush slightly. She then told him about her holiday and how she had been spending it. I m sorry, he told her, "but I live all alone here while I work on endless movies. This is my den.' "Oh!" Janet again commented.. "In that case I will have to be on my way." Her voice was wistful. "This would have been the crowning glory of my trip," "Is there a chance that you would share my evening heal with me if I bring it out here so you may enjoy the view?" Rawley scarcely hoped this beautiful, interesting girl would accept his hospitality, but to his sur prise she smiled her Joy. "And afterward," said Rawley, "if you permit me I will show you the way to a cottage not too far from here where a dim distant relative of mine lives and where I go and stop when my own society, or perhaps more truthfully, ny own cooking, gets the better of me." "I hate to trouble you to show me the way to the other cottage," she suggested when they had finished sup per and the stars .were beginning to dot the eky and time to go had ar rived. "'It is the most delightful break have ever had in my day of hard work. I will stay over there, too, and you can bring me back in your car in the morning.- How's that?" very fine," laughed Janet. Then as they motored down the hill it seemed almost aa if the faithful lit tle motor knew that there -would al most always be some one b'eside Janet from now on. and it purred very softly along the mountain trail. icopyrignt, ma, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ON SECOND THOUGHT ST JAY K HOUSE. (Fresi rhOsoalpkla Mils Ledge.) 'All decent people should be in bed by 1 o'clock," says one of the eminent uplifters. They might as well be. They may take it from one who is, so to speak, a connoisseur of. the early morning hours, that nothin much that is indecent or disgraceful hap pens after 1 o'clock in the morning. By that time sin has drawn the cur tains of its shame about it and has se cluded Itself until night again brings out the stars. Our own observation 'is that those from 11 to 1 are the witching hours. By 11 o'clock everybody who is going to get drunk is drunk. Everybody who contemplates a public indecency of any kind has either completed his act, or is ready to give it. Not so long ago we spent the hours between 1 and 3 o'clock in the morning in that sector of Philadelphia bounded by the city hall. All we saw were three painted women, a drunken sailor, and seven taxicab drivers. It wasn't worth wait ing for. The point, of course, is that decent people who are astir at 1 o'clock in the morning, or later, are looking for something indecent or aisgraceiuu Except in very rare Instances It Is a fruitless quest. "The result," reports an esteemed contemporary "shows that Mr. Debs word could be trusted. He did not run away." We imagine Mr. Debs' word can be trusted, but we doubt that his failure to run away proves it. Mr. Debs is one of those who couldn't run if he tried. j And Mr. Debs wouldn't run away If he could. To be compelled to live in cognito would ruin his business. BUI Jones. He took her fancy wln he came. He took her hand, be tookakiss. He took no notice of the shame That glowed her modest face at this. He took to coming afternoons.

"Almost any one who has a dress suit," writes one who wishes to de fend the democracy of the San Fran cisco aristocracy, "is able to meet whomever he pleases." But, at that, the San Francisco aristocracy seems to be tightening up a bit. We were last in San Francisco in 1915, and we were traveling light. We hit the town wearing a shepherd's plaid suit of nonchalant mien, tan half shoes and a soft brown hat. We ex perienced not the slightest difficulty in meeting the San Francisco aristocracy. We met it repeatedly, afternoon and evening, at Tait's and Techau's. All one needed then to assure himself of a hearty welcome was the money with which to buy a drink and the disposi tion to spend it. If the San Francisco aristocracy has progressed to the point at which it de mands evening clothes, democracy is decadent. Rosalind Harrington Frost Su3d Elihu 'B. Frost for diverse. She said he was addicted to drugs, had dragged her about the room by her hair, had kicked her out of bed, had bit and threatened to kill her, and had said he would have the legislature pass" a law permitting a man to have as many women as he could support. Very properly, we think, the court at Reno gave Mrs. Frost a decree. But, in so far as its bearing on the puDiic interest is concerned, the de cree is unsatisfactory. It doesn't say exactly now far a husband ma v trn. Very few husbands wish to run the risk of being divorced. But nearly every married man would like to kn-rc how far he may go in the matter of punisning nis wire.- Honest worth seems to have scored another signal victory over capitalism They say the "other woman" in the Stillman case was a plumber's daugh ter. "Judge Kenesaw Mountain T-anrtis drawing a salary of $42,500 a year," writes one commentator on sports. "has already earned at least a year's salary." we revel In particulars. Will the esteemed commentator on snorts specity tne manner in which he earned it? A number have written to deplore our tacit offer to quit on September 15. Threebr four go so far as to sav they'll stop the paper if we do. We appreciate the support of those who have rallied to our gonfalon, but we want to do the fair thing. We don't want to quit, but if we are injuring this newspaper to the extent "Reader Since 1860" believes, we ought In all fairness to do so. We asked for an extension of time in order that we might clear f p all obligations Incurred before being compelled to leave town. Will "Reader Since 1860" kindly write again and tell us whether our proposition is satisfactory? If it isn't, we'd appreciate it if he'd fix a date that will be satisfactory. We finally found out a little about the Stillman divorce case and are now prepared to discuss it with those who are concerned only with its superficial aspects. One of the superficial aspects of the case which we find intriguing is Mr. Stillman's declaration that he intends to guard his family's honor. However, if you wish to talk on the deeper and more insignificant inci dents of this marital debacle, it would be, perhaps. Just as well to take it up with somebody else. We got into the case too late to apprehend its signifi cant phases. Joe Jackson knows a man who knows how to make parsnip wine. We are not interested in the formula and make no effort to secure it. The significance of the thing runs much deeper than written or printed for mula. Is it possible that the parsnip, after untold years of cultivation, is about to justify itself? "The governess may sue Mr. Mc Fadden," says the evening paper'. The evening paper is too conservative. We'd be willing to hypothecate six months' salary at odds of S to 3 that the governess sues Mr. McFadden. And we have no idea as to what It is all about. The Woman He Married BY JANE PHELPS A CONTRETEMPS. Chapter 108. Mv party promised to be a success. The guests had all accepted and wlrat is more to the point had arrived. All but Juanlta. She was Invariably the last guest no matter what sort of a function she attended. I suspected her of doing this on purpose to make her entrance more theatrical. I It was only a little after nine, how ever, when she arrived. A little gasp of admiration went up when she ap peared. Her gown of chiffon was made with several skirts, one over the other, from the deepest orange, her favorite color, to the faintest shade of yellow. She wore a gold bandeau confining her hair, and a long floating scarf of deep orange fell from one shoulder. Her stockings and slippers matched her gown. As usual she wore no Jewels. No one could deny or question her beauty. My heart almost ceased beat ing when I saw the look lp. Dick's eyes when he greeted her. Junior was standing beside me, yet even so I could not restrain a sigh as t saw a look pass between them.. I danced with Junior, while Dick took Juanlta for a partner. Everyone was very gay, and my party bade fair to be a success. People wandered all over the house, admiring, asking Where I got this idea, that bit Of color, or praising the ensemble. It was not my place as hostess, as well as de signer of the decorations, to allow them to go unattended. I let them return to the dancing, however, with out me, pleading a wish to look after the supper. The study was dark when I passed the door, save for the faint glow of the reading lamp, altho I was sure that only a short time before it had Deen as brilliantly lighted as the rest of the house. Suddenly my heart stopped, and my ears fairly strained. You do love me, Nita darling. I know it!" I heard a husky voice, love-softened, say. There was a silence a silence such as a woman might keep when she was uncertain, or when a word snoken would betray her heart and her love. Don't torture me. Nita! Say vou love me. Then we will have the cour age to end this horrible situation. I worship you, my beautiful girl. I can't live without you! Tonight you madden me." It is not pleasant for a wife to listen to a declaration of love from her hus band to another woman. It is not made easier to hear it when her duties as hostess compel a smiling face and gay manner, I felt sick, faint. I re mained for a moment rigidly by the study door, then quietly returned to my guests. I felt very lonelv amonsr that eav laughing crowd, and motioned Junior to my side. I took his hand in mine and tne touch of his warm strong fin gers gave me courage. wnere s rather?" he asked after a moment. I don't know Somewhere about I guess." "Last time I saw him he was talk ing to Aunt Nita. They didn't see me, so I didn t butt in. Better look out, mother, or Aunt Nita will steal dad. He's hippy about her." I knew that Junior was only joking. yet his careless boyish speech hurt me. You mustn t say such things. Junior. I know you are joking, but others might take you seriously, and it would nurt your father. Just then Juanita came into the room followed by Dick. She at once commenced to talk with Mr. Baker while Dick sought other guests. But they both were flushed, and Juanita was plainly excited. "Don't let anyone know." I said to myself. "Keep up your courage, don't give way to your reeling." I felt un like myself: as If I were masquerading. I laughed at nothing at all, was so gay that once or twice I caught Junior looking at me in amazement. The supper gave me a little relief. as they were all too busy eating to notice that for a moment I slipped away. In my room I breathed a pray er for help, then returned and re mained with my guects until they de parted in the "wee sma' hours," re- claring they never had enjoyed them selves more thoroly. Mr. Baker took Juanita home. thought Dick looked disappointed when he offered, but he .said nothing, and Juanita In her orange dress rav ished him with a look as she accepted the invitation. I went up with Junior and talked a few mornents. Dick had gone directly to bed. Late as it was, I was not at all sleepy, so I sat by my window and tried to tmnK, to plan. "I can't Ignore it any longer, whispered to myself. "It must not go any farther. I must find some way to win him back before it is too late." I wondered if ever a wife had been placed In the same position, and if so what she had done r 1 tnougnt with a shiver of self-reproach that had been the right sort of wife In the first place Dick never would have known Juanita. Somehow, everything went back to this my wickedness, my fail ure in those first years. "I will fight her with any weapons. but Dick must not know I am fight ing," I said as I finally rose. (To be continued.) George Matthew Adams Daily Talk A BABY IX A CRIB. He Is indeed a poor human who can not muster a 'smile at the sight of a baby In a crib. For a baby is the beginning of ev erything. It Is the expression of pos sibility. As it sits and kicks and baby wiggles, tossing smiles by the dozen, and all the time keeps wondering in its little world, it brings back to every thinking passerby something of his own past or his ruture possibility. The whole world would be old and seamy were it not that every day a new batch of cribs are brought out for a new batch ot babies! The mother, watching beside her baby and talking back and forth to It, doesn't have to be taught her baby. before her, is telling her all the his tory of mankind and predicting un written stories and histories afresh to her. There is so much about a baby that you can't explain but that you under stand perfectly. That's why the stranger, passing a baby, stoops down to smile and say something which he knows the babv won't understand but to which he feels that the baby will somehow respond. And usually the baby does respond to every sincere attention. But the big value of its babies to the world Is that they keep it tender and thoughtful. The sight of a baby is able to change the course ot a man's thinking for the rest of his day. -And if the baby is his own, its threads of love tie him to it forever and soften every harsh note in his make-up. I have often watched a rough men walk away fronv little baby as happy as tho a king had just promoted htm to sudden wealth after having been noticed with a package of smiles by his inheritance in the crib. A baby in a crib mellows the very air about it! Questions Answers Q. Just what territory does the Near East consist of, as regards the relief that we have sent? J. W. C. A.

Are you making yourself as nttie a burden as possible to those about you? If you are not, you are not giving your family a square deal. Take the matter of sickness, ior in stance. To save our faces we speak of ill health as an affliction sent upon us mysteriously by some strange Providence that we do not understan i. Most of the time, this is an out and out lie. We know well enough that we are sick because we broke the laws of health, and that we have nothing but ourselves to blame. We Justify ourselves in overeating. in refusing to take exercise, in staying out too late at night. In dancing too much, in defying wintry blasts in in sufficient clothing because our new frocks look better without wraps, by saying that it's our own stomachs, and our own nerves and our own lungs that we are risking, and that if we get dyspepsia, and nervous prostration, and pneumonia, we are the ones who will have to suffer. If that were entirely true. It wouldn't so much matter, and the family might well stand aside and let those die who did not have enough, sense to live; but In cases of sickness it is not the ill who suffer most. It is mlf nave to tako eare of them. There are only a small number of people who are able to turn the sick members of their families over to the care oftrained nurses and hospitals. The balance must IcAn tho f tle sick-room themselves, they must o,i,u earn-, ana minister to the fretful whims "of those who have brought their illness upon themselves by their own self-indulgence. Nor can the avera.ee familv irhM sickness any more than they can to ei up a yacnt, or an imported auto mobile. Of course, when one we love is suffering and in danger, we weigh nothing else in the scale against his or her safety. The best doctor, tho finest surgeon, costly medicines, ex pensive nourishment he or she must have, no matter what it costs. So the little savin mi bank amount that we had gathered together, penny jj penny, wiin wnicn to Duy a home, and which represents a thousand bitter self-denials, melts away like ice in an August sun. Or worse still, we sad dle ourselves with debts to doctors and druggists that will sell us into slavery for years to come. Who does not know some familv that Is kept down to the low level of grinding poverty by an invalid There is never a chance to save anything, because the sick one is forever trying some new cure. The very food that growing children need is stinted for patent medicines. All ambition and effort are crushed under the weight of the perpetual doctors' bills.

Plans being worked out by the To peka Merchants association will make the merchants in the towns surround ing Topeka as much a part of the city so far as merchandising la concerned, as If they were in business on Kansas avenue. At least that is what Milton Tabor, manager of the association says. He is backed up in his asser tion by Robert Fullerton, chairman of the trade extension committee. The plan of bringing the merchants in the whole trade territory into closer co-operation includes an ad-vertising-xampaign that will appeal to every customer. Each person trading In Topeka will be urged first to pat LvuiAa ,ti0 ugiuq iitrt. Hunk bu idr &a that merchant is able to supply his needs.

That the plan will meet with the unanimous approval of the merchants in Topekas trade territory has al ready been ascertained.

Thru the creation of better merchandising conditions, the merchants will be able to better supply their trade and at the same time create broader markets for the goods that Topeka has to sell. Greater Retail Market. "The Topeka Merchants' association wants to direct more trade to Topeka stores." said Mr. Tabor. "Not at the expense of the local merchants, how ever. They pay the taxes to support the institutions in their own. towns and deserve all the trade they can supply. By co-operation a greater retail market can be built up that will be of mutual benefit to every mer chant in the territory, whether he be located on Kansas avenue, or on the main streets of Holton or Marysville "The merchants will become natural boosters for Topeka thru this sort of co-operation.

Sixth District News Notes Items and Reminiscences by An Old Timer With His Ear to the Grass Roots. BY HARBI ROOT. The writer of Sixth District Notes for the Topeka State Journal was pleasantly entertained on a ten days' visit to Belolt after an absence of nearly three years. The people of town and country sure entertain their friends. It was here for dinner and there for supper the entire time your correspondent was there. Returning from Beloit to Topeka after an ab sence of ten days, the writer counted no less than twenty-two meals he had promised to partake or with triends. which for lack of time he had to de cline, and all of them would have cost J1.25 each in either of the Topeka restaurants. It was in the late sev enties the writer first visited the town, and this was before the Central Branch (now Missouri Pacific) rail road arrived. The buffalos of pioneer times had either been killed and their meat eaten by the early homesteaders or they had been chased further west by the huntera so the writer didn't see them in their native home. The Gazette celebrated its fifty years roundup March 23. last, and is sued a double number. Many col umns of reminiscent articles are printed in this special Issue, written by those who are living in Mitchell county and date their residence from the early seventies. The issue- is of historical interest. Tour correspondent likes Beloit, her eople, and the wonderful progress which it has made. He used to be one of her population, having lived there fourteen years. He likes the town and her people so well that he carries his membership in the Modern Woodmen camp. He joined the G. A. R. post there. His two children, born in Atchison, graduated in the Beloit high school, and another member of the family helped organize the Chris tian Science church, and was also a member of Livermore Circle L. of G. A. R. The daughter is livinr in Port land, Oregon, and retains her mem bership in the order in Beloit. Beloit has grown to be the metrop olis of Sixth district towns, and now has a population of close to 3,500. The high school building nearing comple tion will be a credit to any city in the state. It is the home of the State In dustrial school for girls. It has miles of I paved streets. It has two ward school Duiiaings, moaern ana roomy. J. nere are five banks and room for them. It is the site of one of -the large flour ing mills of north central Kansas. It has a good system of telephones, and on a busy day it looks if all of Beloit and the country people own an automobile. It sure is a good place to make money for her three newspaper men not only own their modern plants but their homes as well. A. B. Adam- son and Harry K- Hughton own and publish the daily Call, the former building u. modern home at a cost of $10,000. The latter built his resi dence at a cost of $5,000. The owner and editor of the Gazette. J. R. Harri son, has a home valued at over $5,000. Many beautiful homes adorn the streets of Beloit. which are surround ed with charming lawns and shade trees. In seasons when the trees are in full leaf, the town might be more appropriately named the shaded city. And as the place gets aged the more inviting It grows.

A. B. Cotton, M. S. Atwood, Geo. W. Anderson, George Elliott, F. J. Knight, L. fc. Williams. Dr. A. Patton, and others. They are the men who lo cated in Beloit in the early seventies. Many of them held federal appoint ments and state and county offices. They were important factors in help ing to start the foundation for the city that has forged ahead of all others in commercial supremacy In the Sixth district. And the town was noted m the early days for the many barbecues and other sports "pulled off for the benefit of her early pioneers and homesteaders. Tour correspondent visited Beloit the first time in the late seventies, at which time the graders were soon to commence work on the extension of the Central branch, (now Mo. Pac). west of Greenleaf. The stage coach was at the time making regular trips from Greenleaf to Caw ker city. The time of arrival in Beloit from the east was S o'clock p. m. Our stage load of passengers stopped at the leading hotel those days, kept by A. Reeder, father of ex-Congressman W. A. Reeder. The hotel was located on the southwest corner of the present court house block. The Belolt Gazette celebrated Its golden anniversary March J 3, 1921. with a double number, much of which was taken up by interesting articles writ ten by those now living, and who lo cated in Beloit and Mitchell county in the early seventies, and at the time when the buffalo and antelope were more numerous than the settlers. The first issue of the paper was named the Mirror, and printed April S, 1871, so that the date of March S3. 1921. is due to the fact that a year has 365 K days, hence the date of this anniver sary publication has advanced accord ingly. The paper was founded by A. B. Cornell. In April, 1872. A. B. Chaf fee and J. J. Johnson appeared as editors and publishers, and the name was changed to Gazette. Other news paper men connected with the paper were W. J. Johnson. G. W. Anderson. Brewster Cameron. S. H. and George H. lodge. E. Swan, Fred W. Knapp and the present owner and publisher. J. R Harrison. The Ga zette is the oldest paper in the Sixth district, and the present owner feels elated over the fact that It is one of the most powerful, and is making money. Jle says In the anniversary issue: "The Gazette was here before many of the pioneers arrived In I Mitchell county, and it will probably De nere arter they have gone." The Gazette editors, some of them, have been taken care of politically. The present owner served the state as United States marshal: S. H. Dodge was a United States land office ap pointee, also served on the state school board, and Fred W. Knapp served the state' as state auditor. t The, visitor hears little of politics In the seat of government in Mitchell county. In former years Beloit was full of It. Ex-member of the legisla ture from that county. A. G. Mead, says he wouldn't have the office of post master if Congressman White offers it to him. "Jack" Harrison, editor of the Gazette, might take something if his friends will land him. He was for mer United States marshal. He was succeeded by a Democrat a year before his time was out. He and his paper are not afraid to speak out In the open, and want to see every Democrat holding office succeeded by a Republi can won as the national administration can bring- it about. The sooner the better will suit Harrison. He person ally favors Fitzpatrick. of Salina, for United States marshal. Willis Dil worth has also been "mentioned" for the Beloit postoffice. One of the most talked of counties in the Sixth district la Jewell, the home of Congressman Hays B. White. It is, too, one of the most prosperous, be sides it is among the richest in raising an abundance of alfalfa, corn and dairy products. Of all the notable characters of the county one of the most is Fred Beeler. Personally he is a big man in size, and attracts at Rotary Club show.

He lo cated in the county in the early sev enties. He brought along with him a few thousand dollars, some horses, a few cattle, and best of all an ambi tion to do something. Coming to the county so early, work was slack. He made up his mind to do something, so he went to work in the "draws" and cut blue stem hay. Hiring all the men he could he kept them at work, and when late fall set in he had a great abundance for winter. Late that fall some men came from Texas looking for winter quarters to heard 10,000 cattle, and hearing he had cut this hay and stored it, they arranged to divide the cattle equally if he would keep them thru the winter. Beeler kept the cattle and fed them, and when spring broke and they found him away from home for a few days, the cattle men rounded them up and drove them off without a settlement. On hia return, and learning what had been done, he gathered his men together, end arm ing them, they started on the trail of the cattle, and overtook them about 200 miles from the Jewell county line. Seeing that they were up against a real gun battle, and after some parley ing, the cattlemen were glad to divide and gave Beeler the half of them as they agreed. It is said this was the foundation for his wealth, as he is now reputed to be worth more than a mil lion dollars in lands, bank stock and securities of various kinds. He has a fine home near the town of Ionia, Jew ell county, and the writer of these items has been entertained under its roof. He sure appreciates the friend ship of Fred Beeler. Tipton, a Mitchell county town, has turned out a poet. Dorothy Kunce, the 10-year-old daughter of Dr. F. E. Kunce, who contributes the following: I like Ktnus In the morning Wnen the grass with dew is wet I like Kansas in tae evening When the glowing sun is set. I Hie Kansas in the neoo tout When the sun is shining high I like Kansas la the night time When the stars arc in the sky.

Clyde Meyers of Mankato, one of the assistant at torneys in the office he recognized the legal ability of one of the young law yers of the 8ixth district. He was born in Jewell county in 1885, on a farm, near the old town of Salem, and there his home has been ever since. He at tended country schools several years as pupil and teacher, graduating with the best class honors. He attended the Washburn law school in Topeka ana completed the course in 1913. Return ing to Jewell county he opened a law office in Mankato. He served the of fice of county attorney two terms. During the late war he served as gov ernment appeal agent for his county, and was a member of the legal ad visory board. Red Cross committee, and did other work to help win the war. He has been a valuable assistant in the office, and upon the change of office by reason of the new political situation, he will resume the practice of law in his old home county, having had private law business In Mankato ever since his appointment as assistant United States attorney.

The three most important laws af fecting Kansas agriculture passed by the last legislature were these, ac cording to J. C. Mohler, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture: Burdiclc bill providing for regula tion of stockyards by the court of in dustrial relations. Culp grain bill authorizing local and terminal warehouses to issue ware house receipts for stored grain. Senate bill No. 47 legalizing the organization of co-operative associa tions for the purpose of forming grain pools and marketing grain. The first two of these bills have been given wide publicity because of their far-reachimj effect. The third bill, however, introduced by the sen ate committee on agriculture late in the session and passed in the final hours, has not been so well advertised. It is of wide importance. Secretary Mohler points out, because of the di rect marketing plans now being worked out by Kansas grain growers. Some doubt arose as to whether wheat pools could be signed up and agreements made fixing prices with out violation of the state anti-trust laws. Senate bill No. 647 is closely modeled after the California law which Is designed to permit fruit growers of that state to sell their products co-operatively. The bill at first met opposition from fstrmer members of the house but it had easy sailing after Representative Ralph Snyder of Oskaloosa, president of the Kansas farm bureau, spoke in its favor. Form Co-Operative Assn. The act specifically provides that twenty or more persons engaged In the production of agricultural prod ucts may form a non-profit co-oper ative association, with or without capital stock. The association and its members may make and execute marketing contracts, requiring the members to sell for any period of time, not over ten years, all or any specified part of tisair agricultural products exclusively to or thru the association or any facilities to be created by the association. Especially strong safeguards are thrown about the association so that its members or stockholders may not become the victims of grafting of ficers. A board of directors elected by the stockholders, has control of the organization's policies.- Ten per cent of the members at any time may file a petition demanding a special meeting. Any member may bring charges airainst an officer or director by filing them in writing with the sec retary of the association, together with a petition signed by ten per cent of the members, requesting the re moval of the officer or director. Such removal may be made by a majority vote at the nest regular or special session. Stock Is Limited. No stockholder may own more thaji one-twentieth of the capital stock, and the maximum may be made less than this by Jhe by-laws. The by laws must prohibit the transfer of the common stock of the association to persons not engaged in the produc tion of the agricultural products handled by the. association. Special provision is made for en forcement of the contract between the members and the association for delivery of grain. The remedy for failure to carry out is damages paid in liquidation, and injunctions to com pel specific performance of contract. Any association may own an inter est, not to exceed one-twentieth, in terminal marketing corporations.

"I did not realize what a great work was being done here," ha said. "I am afraid that we have been led to forget the responsibilities of the Tuberculosis association following the Christmas seal sale last December. Now that X have seen what these two tuberculosis nurses ara doing and know the ex pense' the association ia meeting ta carry out weekly clinics in the city and clinics in the rural districts I am aware of the necessity of additional funds." Mrs. Kurtz Kellam, in charge of the Topeka Tuberculosis association ao tivities. explained the situation today f "With the money we raised thru the sale jt health bonds and Christmas seals we laid out a, budget for 121. First we hired two nurses for vidts in the homes of the diseased. These nurses have been averaging 409 visits a montli think of what that means to the unfortunate families! Then we are supporting the weekly tuberculosis clinics held each Friday at the city hall. We have found it necessary ta shoulder the expense of operating m motor car for the use of the nurses In the rural districts. Beginning in May or June we will hold at least eight clin ics in Shawnee county outside Topeka. "You may Judge the cost of such ac tivities. The additional donation wilt give us an opportunity to enlarge our work.
