Chicago, April 11. Low pay and poor working condition of postal clerks have cost the government $7,000,000 in mail robberies in less than a year. This is the opinion of many postal offic" in Chicago. Leo George, secretary of the Chi cago Postal Clerks union, charged the mail holdup epidemic to the tempo rary clerk system, which, he said, was; the result of night wcrk and poor pay. Are "Inside" Jobs. Government officials believe most of the robberies were on "inside infor- mation" given by poorly paid clerks i who gave bandits details of shipments of money in return for part of the loot. In other cases, robbers may have been "planted" or organized criminal gangs in postoffices to give information regarding registered mail j consignments. J "The condition is the logical result of labor conditions during and after i the war," George declared.

When young Jillson wrote letter-to his father askins -for -money, the- latter told him he would send it if he would rerurk to Topeka -and iv himself Hp"." Jillson promised and the money was sent. The youth made his word good by returning immediately and surren dering to Sheriff Miler. Miler learned the whereabouts of Helm and wired Denver officials to pick him up. At 3 o'clock this morn ing he received a wire that Hlm was in jail, and that he would waive-extradition and return if an officer was sent after him. Miler said today he would go after Helm himself.

STRIKE FAILS TO DEVELOP Builders Report That All Men Are at Work Today. At a special meeting of the Master Builders' association, held at the Chamber of Commerce at noon today, to consider the strike phase of the open shop war in Topeka, the mem bers of the association reported that they were "unable to find the strike." The men who were working Saturday are working today, the builders said, and they failed to find the situation different in any respect from what it was' last week. "Everybody who was at work Sat urday seems to be at work today. There don't seem to be any evidence of a strike," T. W. Williamson said this afternoon. He enumerated several firms which have all the men they want, and are carrying on with their work, among them Lundgren Carlson, George Senne and L.. K. Bower Son. Work is still under way at the Warren M. Crosbv building. "The foremen were notified to quit, but they were on the job today," Wil- liamson said. I M. E. Moore, president of the build I ing trades council, stated this after noon that he was too busy to be inter viewed on the strike. Paralytic Is Mother i Of Healthy Child Smith Center. Kan.. April 11. Aft- 1 er lying helpless from paralysis for six months, Mrs. Ralph George of this county has given birth to a baby girl weighing four and a half pounds. j The baby is normal in every way and physicians say it will live. Mrs. j George is 23 years old and the mother of two other children. Physicians say her malady is a well defined case of infantile paralysis and that it is unlikely she ever will be any 1 better. tions made it practically impossible to get good men in the service. "Many temporary men were em ployed without civil service examina tions and without sufficient recom mendation as to responsibility. It is possible that unsc: pulous men could have crept into the service by this methods," Too Much Night Work. The "unfavorable working condi tions" -referred to by George were ex plained as "too much night work." He declared that night work is unneces sary and could be eliminated to a great extent if Postmaster General Hays's early mailing campaign suc ceeds. Assistant Postmaster General McGrath said wording conditions have made practically impossible the re tention of civil service clerks- "Night work," he explained, is the chief reason men are not taking the civil service examinations for postal service." Under Hays's plan, business men are urged -to do the bulk of their mailing in the morning instead of in the late afternoon. P. U, C IS BLOCKED Supreme Conrt Denies Writ in Livestock Bate Case. Leaves the Boads Free to Pro tection Thru Injunctions. The supreme ccuirt today blocked action of the public utilities commis sion in forcing an emergency freight rate reduction on livestock when it de nied application for a temporary writ of mandamus against the Kansas rail roads. Action, of the supreme court leaves the railroads free to protest against the commission's order thru Injunction. Iate this afternoon the railroads filed answer in the applica tion for a permanent writ. i Blow to State Commission. jEecision of the supreme court to day in the emergency case was regard ed in state house circles- as a heavy blow to the state commission. The temporary writ had -heen asked on al most the sole statement of facts by the utilities commission. Now the commission is shorn of temporary au thority to prevent interference with its rates and must meet tho final is sue on records of interstate commerce commission action as submitted by the wiiroaocs. j ft Answers ftled bythe rajjrqads jp xhe mandamus proceedings this. afternoon tended to throw new light on the case. The state, .commission had directed a 30 per cent reduction in livestock rates from western feed lots t eastern pas tures. The order was .made on a claim or discrimination thruinterstate re ductions by the interstate commerce commission. -jN'ow th- -railroads at tack the claim .and question the good faitir of the statse commission -and the livestock association which Joined irt approval of tho commerce commis sion's action. i Ask Reduction in Rates. Carriers this afternoon recited to the court that on March -7 livestock associations, including the Kansas organization, filed an emergency re quest for reduction of rates from the southwest on stock and feeder cattle. The cattle were to be moved to Kan sas and northern feeding grounds to relieve distressed conditions in drouth stricken areas of Texas and Okla homa, At request of the federal com mission, railroads waived formal hear ing and appointed seyen vice-presidents of Kansas lines to meet with representatives of livestock interests in Washington. Now, according to the answer of the railroads, it appears that repre sentatives of the state of Kansas at tended the conference. It was agreed that the commission would permit carriers to reduce interstate rates from the southwest to Kansas. But Chairman Clark is declared to have stated that no precedent to reduce rates should be established because of this action. Neither was discrimi nation to be urged. It. is declared that the Kansas representatives agreed to this course. No sooner had the reduced rates been published, it is declared, than Kansas livestock people brought suit before the state commission to secure a reduction because of the alleged dis crimination. It is further urged by the carriers that their course was in keeping with requests of livestock in terests and that they received testi monials nf thanlr. fnr their actinn Then, they point out, their action was' used as the basis for proceedings charging discrimination. Tried to Help Industry. "We tried to help an industry in distress at its own request," said James L. Coleman, counsel for the railroads, this afternoon in discussing the rate controversy, "and as soon as we did what they asked, they turned against tis. I do not think that is right and no matter how the suit turns out we want the people of Kan sas to know the facts." No date has been fixed for final hearing on application for .a perma nent writ. If it is urged by the state commission, there is every prospect for a lively day when the matter comes before the supreme court- De nial of the temporary writ today is believed by lawyers familiar with the case to put the state commission on defensive in the case and to addd re sDonsibility for clearing the records as to the hearing in Washington. CITY FRANCHISE KNOCKED OCT. Supreme Court Declares San Antonio Cannot Enforce Five Cent Fare. Washington, April 11. The- su preme court today affirmed a decree of the Texas district court enjoining the city of San Antonio from enforc ing a 5-cent fare, with universal trans fers, over the lines of the San Antonio public service company. In appealing the city asserted that its franchise contract with the rail road called for service at S cents and that the courts were without Jurisdic- tion to interfere.

The announcement will be made to morrow by Mayor Corwine, it is un derstood on excellent authority this afternoon. Swallow, it is understood, will make an immediate cleanup of the entire police force. He will ask for the res ignations of men in the department who have been responsible for much of the criticism of the Corwine admin istration. In their places he will hire experienced officers and detectives men who will place the city on the criminal "dodge list." hwajlow is an examiner for the state i hnnlr Hpnartmpnt Ha Tnan 1. I n j siderable experience in criminal af- j fairs in Jefferson county. He was mentioned prominently as a candidate for United States marshal of this fed eral district. He lives in Topeka. Source of Speculation. Mayor Corwine's appointment of a new police chief has been the source of considerable speculation in the citv since the mayor was re-elected last week. The opposition that developed against the mayor in the primary and in the election was based on the show ing he had made with his police de partment. It was believed that under his second term he would make a strenuous effort to straighten out his record with the public. If the Swallow appointment is car ried but with the intention of cleaning up the department and hiring efficient and active men, it will add greatly to the mayor's political and administra tive prestige, interested Topekans say today. Erank Leech, present chief of po lice, was appointed to succeed George Kannan following the discharge of the latter when the department was under public -investigation. It was at this Investigation-that Mayor Corwine was confronted with the conditions exist ing in his police department. TO INSTALfiW OFFICIALS I Members of City Commission Will Take Offices Tuesday. Mayor Herbert J. Corwine, and Commissioner W. A. Stanfield, W. S. Hancock, Robert X- McGiffert and Frank L. Stevens will be installed formally as members of the city com mission for the next two years at the regular commission meeting Tuesday morning. With the Exception of Stevens, the commission is composed of re-elected members. W. H. Wasson, retiring finance commissioner, said today he had not decided upon his future work. He expects to take a short rest and then continue actively in financial work. He is known to have had several or I fers from business firms in which his experience would be of much value. Before serving his three terms as fi nance commissioner, Wasson had been in the oil business. He taught school for a number of years. He said that the only vacation he had ever taken in his life was when he was forced to rest because of illness last summer. The election of Frank L. Stevens as finance commissioner leaves vacant his position as cashier of the water department. The appointment of his successor has not been announced, but it is rumored in city hall circles that C. J. Knowlton. present city au ditor, is being considered for the place in the water department. MAYBECARDlNAL Chicago Archbishop May Suc ceed Gibbons. Six Names Are Offered to Be ceiye "Bed Hat."

"'It doesn't matter rnueh what the wages of the union .painter who might have done the work would have been," Qitoerg said today. "No union painter would have worked more than four days op the job. and the difference between the contractor's price and the cost to me would, have amounted to a good deal more than his wages." TO GET CARS F0BWHEAT Surplus of 22,000 Will Bs Available For 121 Crop. An agreement to accumulate a sur plus of 22,000 empty bpx ears in Kan sas for initial movement df the lssi wheat crop was reached Saturday at a wuicnruce or me railroads and the Public Utilities Commission. This should, in a larger measure, prevent recurrence of the' car shortage, according- to Clyde M, Reed, chairman of the commission.:''''' While the car situation is good at this .time, the commission believes ar rangements should be made to pre vent another car shortage such as has existed the last three years. The 22, -000 empties are to be in addition to all ordinary incomings and outgoings of cars. Based on the wheat acreage this year and an average yield of 14 bushels to the acre, the 1921 produc tion will be about 135,000,000 bushels. Figuring 1,200 bushels to the car, about 112,500 cars would be neces sary to move the crop. SHRINERS PICK KANSAS CITY Next Convention Site Ticked by Di rectors, for North America. Dallas.

Its union with the German empire became complete when on February 27, 1881. she mar ried Wilhelm. the crown prince. Wil- helm II succeeded to the throne March 9. 1888. Claimed Fame as Hausfrau. During the time the emperor was building up the empire, preparing for the great campaign to extend its ter ritories, the kaiserin devoted herself to the home. Her chief claim to fame was her ability as a hausfrau. She never aspired to shine in court festivities. Her husband calmly said of her, "the poor dear is such a frump." She delighted in supervis ing the household affairs of the kaiser's magnifiaent establishment! A ....-1,.... .4.11..l,. 1 N dren. These were the Crown Prince, Frederich Wilhelm; Kitel Friederich, Adalbert, August Wilhelm, Oscar, Joachim and Victoria Louise. The constant warfare between the crown prince and the emperor caused her much worry and she spent much time in attempting to reconcile their differences. Grieved Over War. During the war, she was thrown into the background by her resplen dent husband. She was eaid to grieve genuinely over the suffering caused by the war and did d great deal to comrort tnose wno tost relatives, isne Cross and did some hospital work. Evfn in the latter service, her per sonality was against her and her. well Intended visits to the hospital wards were not a great success. When the final disaster came, she immediately followed the kaiser into exile, continuing her role as the faith ful hausfrau. Their troubles had wrecked her health, however, and shortly after the flight to Amerongen, she was seized with the first attack of heart trouble which threatened her life. Son's Suicide Was Blow. TheSjsuiclde of her youngest son. Prince Joachim, was a severe blow and it was feared she would not rally froth the illness which collowed. 'Several times later, the entire fame tty- was called to her bedside. The crown prince came from asylum at Wierengen and their sons and the Princess Victoria Louise came from their scattered homes In Germany. She-rallied each time and was able to accompany the kaiser In his stroll about the grounds at Doom. "Cliioago Man Gets Appointment. Washington, April 11 The recess appointment Of Edward H.

TO URGE ACTION Mercer To Go to Washington in Interests of Lirestock Men. Harding to Ask Congress to to Pass Emergency Measure. vt J. H. Mercer, secretary of the Kan sas Livestock association, will leave the latter part of this week for Wash ington, where ho will urge passage at the special session of eongresa or an emergency farmers' tariff, bill and other legislation., designed to benefit agricultural interests.. The Kansas Livestock association is one of the strongest organizations of its kind in me miuuie west. m President Promised Action.

To Adjust Freight Rates, s An adlustment of freight rates will also be sought at the present session thru a congressional investigation to disclose any inequalities or prohibitive rates, so that they may be rectified by the Interstate commerce commission. Mercer asserts that present railroad rates are destructive of agriculture and should be lowered, even if it is necessary to repeal the guarantee sec tions of the Esch-Cummins act. Under Dresent freight rates, accord ing to Mercer, Argentine beef or corn or wheat can be laid down in New York considerably eneaper man similar shipment from Kansas or other states in this section. So with out tariff protection, he declares, rail rates alone give the Argentine pro ducer an advantage at eastern mar kets over the farmer oi tne miuuie west.

New Tork, April 11. Newark or Jersey City is expected to et the call for the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. Tex Rickard's announcement that the big arena will be used for other championship fights during the sum mer is thought to be the "sleeper" that puts Atlantic City out of the run ning. There are other reasons to believe that one of the two cities within a "stone's throw" of Times Square will be favored. When Atlantic City first entered the field of candidates, more than a month ago. Rickard told the writer it was not a "logical contender." He pointed to the fact that July 2 is in the middle of the big season at the popular watering place when tio tel accommodations are always at a premium and when standing room on the trains is first class passage. Rickard may have changed his mind since then. howe-er. During the doubtful period, Rickard also said that the scale of prices would demand a site close to the "big gest population."

With veteran stars refurbished and new ones pre paring to flash across the baseball firmament, the major league season of 921 opens on eastern and western diamonds Wednesday. While there will be no changes in the well estab lished circuits of either the National or American leagues there will be many new faces in the personnel of the 16 clubs comprising me two or ganizations. With the call of the umpires sending the players away on their six-months' pennant chase, the National league will have inaugurated its forty-sixth consecutive season as the senior asso tion clubs played 'their initial games early in 1876. In the American league it will mark the beginning of the twenty-second season as the Junior league was formed in 1900. Notwithstanding the unprecedented popularity of baseball during the past two years, club owners and league of ficials are firm in their belief that the national sport is facing a still greater period of prosperity in the months to come and have made their spring plans accordingly. Larger training squads went south this spring than in many years and every effort has been made te strengthen weak spots in both the offensive and defensive play of the various clubs.

Uaskln, Director, W ashing ton. I). C. a There appears to be a,, popular be lief that existing economic conditions, especially the. slump in business, is due to a, strike of buyers against high prices.' Announcement to this effect was made and generally accepted at about the time that prices began to fall. The truth ia that owing to a lack of means to make payment, Eu rope, ceased to buy our goods in the quantities previously taken. Produc tion 'had been spurred up until pro ducers found themselves with big stocks of their wares on hand for which there was, no market. They did the most natural and businesslike thins to do; they cut prices... "Then and not -until then did the public stop buying. Nobody buys beyond his im mediate needs On a falling market. Free buying will not be resumed until the public has bceVjme convinced that the bottom or at least a.stabillzed cl has been .readied. Thla win not taku place until transportation rates end wa3?s come down. Si-mt-uody has raised the question of wh? the 'government did no finance the late war by issuing greenbacks as it did In the time of the Civil war. probably the Lincoln administration would not have issued greenbacks if it Jifi.il not been jeomnelled to do so. For a time the outcome of the struggle was so uncertain that it would have been impossible to sell enough bonds to carry on the war. Those that -were floated bore an excessively high rate of interest. The cost of the recent jvar wouy have been muc-fcf greater than it v. as-If it had been paid in gov ernment pnper currency. The federal reserve system "probably saved the treasury much embarrassment as well as eanli. As far as con bo recalled, Alexan der, king of Mactdon, was the only tlreck who ever led an army into Asia and got away with lit. The attention Constantino 13 respectfully called to thlj matter. Penalties assessed against' Alexan der Howat by Kansas, courts roH off mat perauu just jme fc into luryvoa on the standard Oil company. The Stv Joe Gas company, recently asked 'the public utilities; commission of Missouri for permission to increase its rates and make a service-charge. The request was granted a wems to be customary in such cases. The cir cuit court on Saturday set aside the order. The circumstances may well s rouse the inquiry, why is a public utilities commission, if questions com ing under its Jurisdiction must be set tled finally "by the judiciary: Kansas has a body of this sort and it would be hard to point out any distinct service it has ever performed for thw people. Why should- there be established an expensive state tribunal to pass on matters' that must finally be decided by the regular courts of law? "Careful inquiry discloses that the utilisation of products ia prevented, not by freight rates but by economic con ditions." says Chairman Clark of tho interstate commerce commission. If this he true why are potatoes selling! nt 18 cents a bushel in Traverse, Mich? Contributions totalling approxi mately 12,000,000 have been. sent to China for the relief of the famine vic tims of 'the northern provinces, by American church organizations, In- r-luUing Catholics, Jaws, Christian Scientist and practically every Pro testant dcjjominatibn' according to figures tabulated by the American rommittee for China famine fund. Of this suni, IffOl, 137.14 has been sent by the churches thru the committee, the remainder going direct to the mission tries in-fthe field. When there is add ?d to this sum contributions from ources 'outside of the churches, the ig heart of America is revaaled. raoroH is ksovn already. Senator Cummin has suggested that the railroad problem should be re-submitted for investigation. The subject needs oe further investigation, ys the Mining Congress Journal. Both the interstate commerce commis sion and the labor board have had the subject under.-continuous investigation and are apprised of the facts upon which to, make all necessary adjust ments. Delay is the most serious menace irr-the railroad crisis. Prompt and decisive action by tile ajibor board, followed by that of the interstate com merce commission, is required to pre vent further disintegration of the rail- j road system. Railroad managers have discovered j that the present high level of trans portation rates has so largely de creased their earnings that even dras tic reduction of the number of men employed leave them stilt with great operating deficits. They have discov ered that the government guarantee of a rate which will return 6 per cent upon invested capital cannot ac complish its purpose.' The requirement of the Esch-Cum-mlns bill that the interstate commerce commission should fix a rate for trans portation service which would produce a net income of S per cent upon the invested capital of the railroad lias demonstrated its otter futility. Trans portation sen-fee, like all other kinds of service, responds eventually to the law of supply and demand. The railroad realise that traffic has fallen off and that a further in crease in rates will still further re strict the transportation service from which their profits must necessarily be derived. "The buying public is unwilling; to continue paying -war prices except for the barest necessitiea It becomes necessary.- therefore, for every line of business to meet the inevitable and take the loss entailed by the descent from the. high to a lower price level. Railroads have desired to make the same profit during: the adjustment period that are expected in normal times. Capital has insisted on selling its high cost surplus goods at a profit. Labor has Insisted on maintaining high price wage levels built up during the war.' Notwithstanding the several pro test against the inevitable, prices are being reduced, wage levels are being reduced, and transportation costs will lie reduced and must be reduced be fore business can again resume its normal conditions. v The 3 per cent rate increase al lowed the railroad was calculated to insure earning on the present capital investment which would attract new capital to the industry. Under the pressure to which all industry has been subjected in this period of defla tion, the last rate increase has proved to b more than the traffic can bear. An extensive contraction of the ton nage movement has consequently been recorded, with 400,000 freight cars idle. The high cost of freight trans portation has probably diverted more tonnage to the motor- truck in i the short-haul districts v of the east. Freight emanating on the Pacific coast for eastern delivery has also been diverted from rail to boat via the Panama canal. What was calculated in the rate Increase to be an asset to the railroads ha under existing cir cumstances become a liability. On account of the operating deficit sustained by the roads during the first two months in the year, it must be evident that not only is the present rate more than the traffic can iear, but that the wasre scale itself is more) than- the traffic can bear. Since thf rate increase has proved an embar rassment to traffic, railroad rates should be reduced at the earliest mo ment.

One ofthe most rapidly advancing businesses in this country is that of dairying, yet the high price at which milk is sold show that there is little probability that the output will soon exceed the demand. v. Forty-four gallons f milk is used by each person In the United States annually, accondtng to estimates piado by the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture This estimateref ers to whole milk and does not include that which is consumed in the form of ice cream, cheese and butter.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKUT, Director, Washington, C. IS AMERICA GOIJfG HIGHBROW? Washington, D. C. April 8.-rThat Ameridatuv since the war, have been reading more books and better books than they did before, is an asserticfn for which a great deal of support can can found. The reports of book sales show that the typical pouular novel, sentimental and romantic, do longer sells in enor mous nuaabers as it did a few years ae;o, but that several substantial classes of books are selling in much greater numbers than usual. Especial ly is this true of novel of k better class, both- domestic and1 imported, of technical and 'vocational books, or books about the peace conference, and the state of the world generally, and of travel books. Likewise the Boston public library recently reported a rruich larger circu lation of books for 1910 than for 1919, and it also reported that books of a better class were in demand, thus con firming what the sales records show. The American woman is the great reader of fiction.- The candy-fed flapper of a few years ago reveled in sugary tales of love and marriage in which everything was sweet and beautiful end happy. She had led a soft life, and saw no reason why dt should no: continue to be a! dream of luxury and contentment. Then per haps she went into war work, became a nurse or a canteen worker, saw death and misery. Perhaps her own fiance or brother was a victim of the war. If she has an ounce of imagin ation, that girls taste in literature will have changed. Life no longer looks so sweet and simple. She sees that it is complicated and even ter rible in spots. she wants trutn rather than pipe dreams. And what is -true of her is even more true of the man who bore a part of the fight He is not sS often a reader of fiction. VWKat he has gained usu ally is a sense of the economic and social problems that burden the hu man race. He often becomes an eager reader of books which discuss these problems, and there have been many such since the war. a few of them reaching large circulations cir culations stfch as books on economics and politics never before obtained in this country. Changed Men. The man, back from the war is often in search of a new occupation, too. His old place is not open to him, or his ideas have changed: he aim at something higher. This man is an Cager reader of books on technical and vocational subjects. Perhaps the greatest change which may be noted is that the American people are no longer so proud of their own country, and that they, are more and more willing to read books which criticise or satirize it. A little glance backward is necessary to appreciate the significance and extent of this change. American have always been taught and have tended to believe tliat the United States possesses the greatest civilization on earth, and that it not perfect, it is nevertheless nearly so. This feeling grew after the Civil war with the new national consciousness which sprang into being at that time. It grew still more after the war with Bpain, whejj the United States won an easy victory over any old European nation and thereby became a world powen t Unti the 'last few years. American writers' have never criticised Ameri can civilization or American society as a whole. The tone of our literature has always been one of self congratu lation. What criticism we have had has come from abroad and was very badly received. Matthew Arnold, the famous British critic, wrote a very fair account of American civilization, setting forth its faults with great in sight. Hi book wa received with rage in this country avid he was loud ly denounced. The same treatment was accorded a number of other for eigners who triad to write their hon est opinions of America. Now this criticism from abroad has largely ceased. We have been visited in the past few years by more foreign authors than ever before in our his tory, but most of them have not criti cised us at all, and those who have done so. have used the utmost caution and politeness. The reason for this is that we mean money to foreign au thors. Lecturing in this country has become their favorite method ef mak ing a fortune. And the American market for their book steadily grows. Nobody is going to make- fun of the fat boy as long a he has the candy. The New Critical Spirit. But the fat boy is beainnina to make fun of himself. Altho most of our soldiers came back from the war singing the praises of home, yet some of them seem to have realized that in some respects European civilization is ahead qf ours. Then, too, th disil lusionment which has followed the war, because It did not accomplish any of the high ideaistic purpose for which it was: ostensibly fought, ha doubtless intensified this critical atti tude. At any rate, for the first time books have been written by Americans and read by Americans which criticise America sharply and evenv bitterly. One novel which is a satire on small town life in America has become a seller. Five years ago our novels al ways represented the American small town as an idyllie picture of sweet content. A certain critic, who regards American democracy as a failure and the American civilization as the most backward among the great powers, has achieved since the war, a popu larity such as perhaps no American critic ever before enjoyed. This same critical tendency has even penetrated into congress. A recent eongerasional report, for example, points out that America ranks tenth among civilized countries in its educa tional institutions, and adds that this is a sad state of affairs since the suc cess of democracy depends largely upon education. Similarly, the reve lations of the draft boards with regard to ill health in this country have been fully set forth and appreciated in con gress, i All of this criticism taken together presents us with a different picture of America from that which our fathers carried in their minds.' It show us a country physically great, wealthy and highly developed indus trially, to be sure. But it also shows us a country In which there 4s a great deal of poverty and a very low aver age of health and education among the poorer classes. It shows u a country In which it is hard for any one to get a really good, liberal" edu cation. It shows us a country'whieh, in literature, painting; sculpture and pure science, lag far behind almost every other country for the same clasa Above all. they tell us. thla is a country in whioh the ant of living, of enjoying life. Is not understood, and where the purauit of wealth for its own sake has become almost the universal occupation. These critics doubtless exaggerate- Some of them certainly overlook our strong points in their eagerness to how up our Weak one. But there seems to be a growing feeling that all of this criticism is healthy. An in dividual who regard himself as na ture's ultimate masterpiece, who seems to think .that there is little room in him for improvement, and that every one else ought to use him as a model, 1 not generally admired. Such an individual is not apt to grow and im prove. On the contrary, he usually inspires the feeling that he has some hard bumps coming to him, and need them. He is commonly described as smug. America, before the war. whatever her virtues, was undeniably smug. And since the war that smugness has to some extent disappeared. It is surely a good sign. America is be coming self-conscious and self critical. And that feeliruj, in both men and nations, is the origin of all progress.

Two hours later, when Dick came back, he had the data for his contem plated Indian stories, but he evinced so little interest therein that I asked: "What's-the matter? Aren't you going to "do the articles?" ''No I don't think so. Not now." "But why? I thought you were keen about getting them off?" "I was perhaps. But Juanita wants to collaborate with me, and I don't feel like doing so on this new. idea. It's man stuff." At ahy other time, or with anyone else, Ishould hav-r laughed because of tho expression "man stuff," but now I only smiled and replied: "I am glad you Bee it that, way. I have felt so all along. Not many women are capable of writing interest ing articles on such a subject. I hope you didn't quarrel with her about it." I had said exactly the opposite to what I felt.

There are many Uncle John "n this world, but outside of ancient melodramas few as mean aa Jack Risers. However. Jack' uncle was dead, and because he bad left no word ah. to the disposition of the little for tune which he had broken the Ten Commandment to accumulate, in less than six months after hi demise it bulged the hip pocket of his nephew in the form of a large roll of bills. Then the nephew sat down and made out a score against hi -Uncle John. There was the time which a hundred dollar would have saved his father's life and the expenses of the pitiful funeral. It had taken his mother a year of scrimping and work ingjjy gaslight to pay them. Then her illness at the time when he. Jack, had just started in on his first job he would never forget ihat. Well, it was too late to do anything for his mother now;, but somewhere In the bis city there were men and women in just such distressing circumstances; he would search them out and make Uncle John, dead, do for them what Uncle John, living, had refused to1 do for hi own kin. Asz-for touching any of the money himself, the idea was repugnant 'to -Jack. He didn't need it. But if there should be any left 'he weuld make Uncle John give him a present the idea tickled his sense of humor! The ease with which Jack Elgers paid off all 'the item on that score would make a convincing argument f9f the divide-everything-up-equally variety of socialists. Now, in quest of some slight remembrance for himself, we find, Jack strolling down that broad avenue known the world over for its display of luxury and lovely women, and fingering three 11,000 bills, all that remained of the miser's hoard. Jack was gazing, without much- in terest, at a display of dewdrops of the millionaire' variety when he noticed a girl gazing intently into the window of the next store. "Exclusive shop of Original Creations," the sign read. He moved on and stood beside her. "By Jove," he exclaimed inwardly, "that girl might be 'nature's own model of feminine beauty and all the others on this avenue, in their conventional get ups, mere copies and adaptations of the original." Jack's eyes followed those of the girl to the gown they were fastened upon. "Well, I'll eat my hat!" This exclamation on Jack's part -was invol umary a well as audible and was called forth by the embroidered jborder on the gown in question. This extraordinary theme consisted of the same motive repeated several times a i small shingled cottage snug gling close to the ground. It was only a step from it latticed porch to a little garden laid out in paths and blazing with flowers of the grand mother variety. Across the front of the house, stretched a row of dormer windows and above them a red brick emmttey puffed ouris of silvery smoke. At Jack Elgers' exclamation th -lri turnedfejto look at him; the situation seemed to Jack to call for some fur ther remark. So with his usual di rectness. "I'm sefeling scores with LTncle-John by spending his money in toe last way ne would want it spent. If you want that dress, why, he'll play lady godmother." The girl started like one waking froVn a dream. "How absurd!" she answered. "It' the house I want,!not the dress I .designed that myself." With 4hesa words she vanished into tire shop. aJck Elgers had seen the only thing he wanted on the avenue, and he eould net go in and buy it, cash down! Also, there was that business trip to the West he was due to start on the next day; it didn't leave him much time. If he could only do something to make her think of him occasionally n nije ne was gone! squaring his shquMevs and taking a firmer hold on his stick. Jack opened the door of the little shop and walked iru "Could I speak with the archi tect of the house depicted on that gown in-your window?" he inquired of the saleswoman who came forward. will ask madame," replied the clerk, and disappeared behind screen at the rear of the shop. "Mis Has tings," a voice called. "Carol," echoed another one. "You are wanted out in front." "I thought," began Jack without preamble when Mis Hastings stood before him, "that perhaps you would be o kind as to tell me whether there is such a, little house In the flesh I mean. If so, I wish to buy it." Carol Hastings answered as directly. "Yes, it -exists in my dreams. But one can't buy dreams with money not even with Uncle John's." "Sometimes one can help along in the fulfillment -of them, -tho," re turned Jackv-and he smiled with such good nature and friendliness that the girl smiled .back. "I am going to prove that to you before many days," he added. "Good day." And he de parted without giving Carol a chance to 'reply, Carol Hastings would have been an abnormal young girl indeed if she had not thought often during the next two days of her unconventional visitor. She --had tentatively decided that he was suffering from shell-shock when she- received by mail a flat box. It disclosed a bras key wrapped in a scrap of paper and on the paper was written an address. with these wordsi "The key to the fulfillment of your dreams. John Elgers." After changing her mind as to whether she should or shouldn't every five minutes of the intervening time, the Saturday half holiday found Carol Hastings on a train bound for the ad dress written on the scrap of paper. And there,- snuggling cozlly beside a village lane, she found an exact rep? lica of the little cottage she had -designed- house of her dreams! Thru the-central path of the garden, ablaze with old-fashioned flowers, up the' step to the latticed porch Carol walked like one in a dream. The brass key fitted the lock."- The house was furnished with quaint old fashioned furniture of the cottage type. There-jrere willowware dishes on the shelves and fragrant linen on the beds. Everything bespoke an ex pected oeicupant or occupants. Carol passed out onto the latticed porch again and stood looking at the little garden wonderingly, as tho. if it would, it could offer some explanation as to what all this meant, A stout, middle-aged woman In a neat hAuse dress came down the lane and anproached the porch. "Be it as how you are the lady what is come to stay here?" sha questioned. "Because if you be, Mr. Elgers said as how I was to look out for you. 'It's the lady of mydreams,' say he. Be you the oner T I Carol answered. "I seem to be," and as she, spoke the words there am"e over her the sensation of having made a solemn pledge. 1 Amonth hawj gone by, slowly and peacefully a only village month can, and still Carol stayed on In the house of her dreams. In. a hurried trip to the city she had resigned her position with the madame and packed her be longings. Day after day Carol had watched for some one, the while de nying to herself that she was doing so. For there was one thing lacking in the perfection of her happiness whether they own up to- it or not, people do not live alone in tbe bouses of their dreams! Carol had taken setting two places at the table with the excuse to herself that it made her meals less lonely, when one noon just as she was about to sit down to her lunch there came the bang of the knocker against the door. Carol opened it and there stood Jack Elgers. For hours she had thought of what she would say when he did come and now that he had she could say nothing at all! She opened, the door wide that he might walk in. but he hesitated on the threshold and asked, "May I come in to the house of your dreams?" "Come," murmured the girl. And Jack Elgers came into her life, never to leave it, for people do not live alone in the houses of their dreams! (Copyriarht, 192L by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

"It's the people who are always learning who succeed," continued the old man. "A very great man said once, 'I have made many mistakes in my life, but I have never made tho mistake the second time.' "That's the stuff of which are" made the men and women who accomplish, big things. They make mistakes. Plenty of them. But they don't go on blundering along, committing the same stupid mistakes over and over again, as long as they live. They learn from every error. "It is a small thing for a young man to pronounce a word Incorrectly, for instance, or to make a mistake in grammar, or to eat with hi knife. He may have had few advantages of -education and association, and so is not to be blamed for not being a -purist in language, or a Chesterfield in manners. One can easily excuse his lapse the first time, but if he continues making the same mistake after be has had them pointed out to him it shows that he is either too dull, or too conceited to learn. "It is the young chap who is on the alert to improve himself in every wav who gets there every time, not tho egotistic dub who is perfectly satisfied with himself as he hi, and who is too lazy and self-indulgenVto change. "It takes a lot of courage to lool: yourself in the face, and candidly ap praise your shortcomings, and to set about remedying them. It takes a lot t .1 1 and customs, and it's hard sitting for any of us on the bench of humility, where we have to gaze up to other people and admit that they know more than we do. "But it pays. For the pangs we suf fer when we lop off our faults are growing pains. They mark our de velopment, and some day we realize that we have reached the stature that we never could have attained if we had spared our vanity and coddled our self-love: "It's the people who are willing to change, who are tagpr andNanxious to learn, who keep on growing until at last they reach a size commensurate with the big places.- I have seen this happen a thousand times. Two boys will come up from the country. One will correct hi pronunciation, and drop his rural manner qf speech, and shed his village clothes, and take on the polish of th city almost a if by magic. The other never brushes the hayseed out of his hair, or changes his uncouth speech, and after fifty year of city life, he is still provincial. And nine times out. of ten the boy who changed is the one who succeeded. And the reason was that he was will ing to learn. "For our ability to fleam marks our limit. We can never go beyond that."

The session ef the house and sen ate, in responsft to Harding's procla mation of .March 22, got under way promptly at noon.

The house, by a straight party vote, scaled Richard K., Bird, Republican, of Kansas, over the protest of Repre sentative Flood, Democrat, Virginia. Flood said Bird, in a swori. statement, lias admitted spending more than $10,000 in his campaign, whereas $5,000 is the maximum allowed by law. Flood moved appointment of a special investigating committee to in quire into the case. Republican Leader Mondoll moved -as a substi tute that Bird be seated and the house agreed. y Holmes O.

The league doesn't run its campaigns under own banners. It selects the players and musicians from its own tribe. Then they are advanced before the public thru the strength and organization of existing political parties, So in Kansas with the Re publicans in oontroli the league will seek to win over the state thru that organization. Combirfed with, the league is the radical labor element of the state. In fact Burton and J. O. St e vie walked hand in hand? as "-martyrs for their cause in the tar party affair. Xor is this combination one which 5:1 ?uid receive too generous scoff and decision. It is -an organization rfci :n la? year gave George B. ftiow more than 2 5 per cent of all the votes cist in the Republican gubernatorial pri maries. That little feat was per formed m spite of the fact that Snow was under parole from the state bos pital for tn insane, was without dollar for campaign expenses, had never seen the inside working of a political organixation, knew nothing of politics or its manipulation and might easily confuse the Magna Charts, and the Jewish synagogue in a discussion of public issues. Then, too, he was opposing Governor Allen for renomination and his only public ity was ridicule and sarcasm. Wave of Discontent. Give the Snow strength to the adroit, versatile Burton. Start a. full field of gubernatorial contenders. Split strength and organizations among a half dozen men Hkely to be in the running. Add to the Burton strength the wave of discontent that has swept the rural district with a slump ofi farm prices.

Then they may go into the November election andv vote for their own nominee. The Repub lican party merely pays the bill by 1 using control of the state. There is very little for the Nonpartisan league to worrv about. It stands to lose noth ing but to win all. If It can merely i disrupt the dominant party in the Urat ri. lp.i?itt managers will be quite happy. fiarton's Republieasim. Barton's record of Republicanism durinp the last few years is vague. With his characteristic bitterness and venom h left the Republican party when he left the Vntted States senate. The late Colonel Roosevelt, who had caused his trouble, was Burton's pet hate. Bat that isn't a bar to Burton's participation in the Republican pri mary.. The legislature tried to patch up the law to require party refistra-. tion. .but at the insistence of William Allen White the governor vetoed the lajr. Of course there is. .very -little in the entire situation1 for th Democrats to worry about.

Oklahoma, by a decision of the supreme court to day, won its suit against Texas over -the title to oil lands in the Red river .valley, with an estimated value of 100,000,000 to $150,000,000. The United States government in tervened in the case in behalf of the f Indians, backing the position taken by Oklahoma and claiming land in the bed of the river as public domain. lts claim, was sustained. 80.000 Acres Affected. Thirty-nine thousand acres, dotted ;with valuable oil wells, was involved ,in the suit, which arose over a dis i pute in the boundary line between the two states.

Many Pictures Presented by Local Artists. i The members and associate mem bers of the Topeka Art guild, who, with their husbands, wives and friends, gathered Saturday night on the second floor of Boswell hall, Washburn col lege, for a private view of the exhibi tion of paintings and art objects which opened to the public today, generally expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with what, they saw. The artists represented in the Amer ican Federation of Arts part of the exhibition stand In the very forefront of a not overly large group of distin tinguished American painters of the present day. Exhibited In Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts of Philadelphia is perhaps the most exacting and rigid of all schools and galleries of the United States with regard to the quality of the work it accepts for its exhibitions, and pos sesses a judging committee of excep tional ability. In view of these facts it speaks well for the quality of the work now being exhibited at Wash burn college, that twenty of the ar tists having work shown were repre sented at practically""every pennysl vania Academy of Fine Arts exhibi tion in the last three :or four years. Every one of the twenty exhibited at the 1918 annual of that gallery. The names of the twenty are: John F. Carlson, Mary Butler. Frank S. Chase, Eliot Clark, Fern I. Coppedge, Arthur Crisp, Charles C. Curran. Edeard Hufner, Gertrude Fiske, John Folinsbee; Birge Harrison, H. Dudley Murphy, Hobart Nicholas, Carl J. Nordell, Leonard Ochtraan, Jane Peterson, Charles Rosen, Chauncey F. Ryder, Robert Spencer, and Robert Vonnob. Has Four Pictures. Mrs. Fern I. Coppedge has four pictures in the exhibition, one is-a winter scene amid trie hills of eastern PftTinsi'ivjnia and the others are ma rines painted along the coast of Massachusetts. iney are an ran acterized by a charming appreciation of beautiful color and a clever por fravsi of litrht and atmosphere. Mrs. Coppedge is fast gaining for herself a secure place among American painters of out door scenes. Among the pictures by local artists, nnrf not hpretofore mentioned, are two by C. J. Masseck, a local artist. One is a glimpse of the curious old cathe dral of Albi in southern France, the tower of which is seen looming up nn,r the town roofs, as viewed down a narrow street flanked with quaint houses. The other is a landscape en titled v 'Reeds ana water. xms the first time Masseck has contributed to a local exhibition. n David Overmyer's "Textile Venders, or "The Fair," as it is listed In the catalog, attracted a great deal of at tention on account of its decorative color arrangement. Five Paintings by Gillette. T. A. Gillette contributes five land scapes, most of them Rocky mountain scenery. Among them, "Quiet Morn ing," a little mountain lake surrounaea bv high, purple hills. Is especially In teresting. Miss Clarisse Laurent has entered a good landscape, painted in one of Denver's parks, and George M. Stone, Maynard Walker Marian Peers and Mrs. Helen Hodge are each rep resented by excellent work in oils or pastel, most of which has been de scribed in previous articles on the ex hibition. There is an exhibit of work of local art craftsmen, to which C. A. Clark of Grantville has- contributed an art lamp and an incense spoon; E. J. Buclels of the Topeka high school faculty, a trunk lamp of unique de sign and a copper plate; Marian Peers, examples of decorative work by high school pupils; Hampton and Pauline Shirer, a decorative box, candles and shades; Virginia Frances Sterrett, a book of French fairy tales illustrated by herself: and Mrs. Katherine Per kins and Miss Marie Witwer, examples of work done at the "What-Not Shop."

This most universal malady has baf fled the medical profession for years, and the most skilled specialists have been unable to cope with it success fully. Hours might be consumed in de scribing the sufferings, mental and physical, of the sufferers from chronic dyspepsia and their failure heretofore to get relief. A morbib, unreal, whim sical and melancholy eondition of the mind, aside from the nervousness and physical suffering, is the usual condi tion of the average dyspeptic. Dyspepsia, or indigestion, as the case, may be. is usually caused by the eating of too much or unsuitable food, and the mucous membrane of the stomach becomes irritated, and there is set up an acute or sub-acute gastric catarrhal condition which prevents the proper digestion of the food. This food is apt to ferment and decompose, and .s a result the familiar distress ing symptoms of dyspepsia may arise. In mild cases there is nothing more than, an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, with a certain amount of de pression, headache, loss of appetite, nerhaos belching of jras and oeeas'onal vomiting- There may be also accom nartying intestinal symmoms. puch as constitution, nnins in the afk. colic, etc. There may be onlv the familiar hearbiirn due to the inflammation of the stomach from pHv0 gpss of fevmepat'on or rufrfaction.

The stomact Is painful on pressure, the tongue i coated, there is a bad taste in th mouth, and there are changes in thei amount of salivary secretion. Consti pation is also usually present, although, diarrhoea may alternate. Most cases of dyspepsia can h cured if the diet Is properly looked after and with the proper treatments Proper eating, the proper amount ot food and hygienic living ara-the most important features of the treatment Most people eat too fast and eat too much.
