The military plans, devised by Marshal Foch and his as sistants with the approval of Premier Briand, were scrutinized last night by members of the cabinet. Certain Offers Unsatisfactory. The complete plans were taken to London today by Louis Loucheur, min ister of the redeemed French terri tories. He left last night to embark on a channel steamer. Cabinet min isters believed it certain that Ger many's newest reparations proposals will be unsatisfactory. Premier Briand, it was announced, w-ill leave Friday for another confer ence with Lloyd George. He believed this session might last five or six days. French newspapers today continued speculation on the American attitude.

T)n reparations commission first asked Germany to place her entire metal reserve in the reichsbank branches at Coblenz and Cologne.

Germany's new reparations offer bids fair to re ceive a favorable response by the United States government, it was un derstood here today. While officials of the state depai't ment refrained from formal comment, the belief was indicated in responsible quarters that the German proposal contained the germ of a final settle ment of the reparations tangle.

I Talk to Allies First. The danger, however. In a very con ciliatory reply, from Germany, "is felt to be that the Simons ministry may be overthrown and repudiated before the allies can agree with Germany on such a basis. Hughes after studying the German communication will start immediate exchanges with France. Great Britain and Italy, probably thru their ambas sadors here, to learn whether the pro posals are acceptable. He will appoint an American repre sentative to take part In the allied su preme council to be held In London this week, should the German pro posals seem to have a chance of acceptance.

Fox, general manager of the Santa Fe, today refused to make any statement as to the results of the wage conference held Monday with the maintenance of way and structure em ployes on the proposed 20 per cent re duction of wages for that craft. It was with difficulty that the informa tion was elicited that the conference was finished Monday afternoon and that E. E. Clark, general chairman of the craft, and other officials of the union involved are believed to have left Topeka. General Manager Fox was no more communicative with regard to the conference which is being held today with the clerical, station, storehouse and warehouse employes. May Have Reached Agreement. When the employes and the gen eral managers failed to agree on a basis for wage reduction in the cases of two other crafts, at conferences held at Topeka Jast month, the ques tions were checked direct to the United States labor board and the an nouncement made immediately to that effect. This might indicate a possibility that the employes and the officials of the road have at least reached a basis for a compromise, and that the prob lem will not be checked to the gov ernment officials. Conjecture as to the result of the conference, however, is the only re source lefc to the public which pays the bills. RETURN TO CELLS Thirty-Two I. IV. W. Have En tered Leavenworth Gates.

Total of 875 Property Owners Must Make Second Payment. Under a special opinion handed down today by the supreme court 875 Montgomery county property- owners must make a second payment of their taxes The court reversed a decision of the Montgomery county district court which issued a writ of manda- mus to compel Charles" A. Mitchell, country treasurer, to issue receipts for the tax money. The property owners are residents of south Montgomery county. Last fall they paid their taxes to the Weaver Realty company of C'offey ville. The realty company then de posited the money in the People's State bank of that town. The com pany owned a controlling interest in the bank stock. When the deposit credits were turned over to the county treasurer and he sought to withdraw the money, the bank protested the drats, notified the state bank com missioners that the institution was in solvent and closed its doors. Brought Mandamus Proceedings. Mitchell held that the taxes could be paid only thru the county treas urer's office and arranged to issue tax warrants to compel individual prop erty owners to pay the money into his office. Frank N. Skinner and" 874 other taxpayers brought mandamus proceedings to compel issuance of tax receipts. A writ was issued by the trial court and appeal taken to he su preme court. The supreme court held today that the money must now be paid a second time. There was no provision under the law, the court pointed out, permitting payment of taxes thru an agent. Made Payment at Own Risk. In consequence the taxpayers made payments to the realty company at their own risk. When the bank failed with their money in it, they could not be -relieved of responsibility to the county. It was asserted that 51 per cent of the bank's stock was owned by the vpaltv ponmanv. A total of $52,000 was paid in taxes to the company. The suDreme court reverses the order granting a peremptory write of manda mus and remands the case with dl rections to quash the writ. Opinion by Justice Porter. In the opinion written by Justice Silas Porter, the court by unanimous action directs issuance of a per emptory writ for collection of the taxes from property owners, and de fines the status of the case in the fol lowing summary: "The court is powerless to relieve the hardships that must result to this great number of taxpayers who believed wliea tley parted with their money that their taxes were paid, ltut equitable considera tions cannot prevail agniast statutory re quirements and the rights of the public to the i-ollection of public funils in accordance n-ith statutory rules is paramount to the ri-rhts of the individual. ..Ua f.nm nnv tart -rtPVplonPfl st the ornl presentation of these coses, to' which some rererenee nas oeen maue m the course of the opinion, it must be held thnt upon the bare stntements of the plead ing itself no cause of action is stated in the alternative writ.

"JUST FORGET IT" ALLEN Governor Laughs at Xew Vork and Tells Metropolis There Is No Cure for Prohibition Kicking Will Do Xo Good. New York, April 26. Take it from Kansas as one who has suffered, there's no cure for prohibition. When it gets you, it's got you, and it has got America. Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas, where most of the present generation "never had alcohol in their system and never saw a saloon," sat back on his shoulder blades in a big tapestry chair, with one brief leg crossed over the other and his hands laced across his equatorial thickness, and chuckled over New York's agonies In the new aridity. "Kansas suffered this way, too," he said. "For ten years we had periods of dampness and periods of drouth. But all the time the sentiment for prohibition was growing, and it is growing in New York. Pretty soon the very-people who are fretting about the matter will be prohibitionists themselves. It happened in Kansas. "I know It is not comforting to say to a thirsty people l'V:e the population of New York that they'll grow to like prohibition, but they'll have to like it,'' the governor of the state that suffered I and got over it continued. "New York might as well get her mind off her liquor, because the supplies are get ting lower every day and the quality worse, and they'll never get bigger or better again. Prohibition doesn't re treat; it just keeps going forward all the time. As long as a man keeps hoping for something he can't possi bly get. his mind is troubled and his nervous energy is being wasted. "Why, I remember that out in Kan sas the original prohibition campaign was no more popular with the busi ness men and the real people than it is right now in New York. It was a sentimental campaign, and the march inir sone- wai -F-athV tar i-.th., tires, believed to be or incendiary orl Come Horn Wim Me' Nw.' out Davenport between But after those first ten years the business men got so they would not employ a fellow who drank, and it wasn't long after that until the entire population came to accept prohibition as a general benefit. That made the combination absolute, and for twelve years prior to the Volstead act no man ran for office in Kansas on a wet platform. "Of course New Tork didn't want prohibition. The nation forced it on the city just as it was forced on Den ver and Seattle by state-wide prohibi tion, years before. Denver and Seat tle got over their thirst, however, as time -wore on, and that's Just what New York will have to do. "So I'd say to New York that I know just how the people feel, be cause Kansas felt that way, too. for a long time. Kicking will do no good. The people might as well forget it-" FOR BIGO. POOL Union Economist Suggests; More Efficient Management. Declares Lower Wages Are Not at All Necessary. SHARE EVEN THEIR SHOPS Universal Ticket System and Joint Use of Engines. Failure to Adopt Devices Has Slowed Service. Chicago, April 26. Details of how organized labor believes railroads of the United States can save over one billion dollars in expenditures annual ly were described by W. Jett Lauck American Federation of Labor eco- ii nea oiaies raiiroaa moor ooara. Lauck appeared as a witness for railroad unions in therir fight to pre vent reduction of wages asked by the railroads. "Highest efficiency in railroad ad ministration will be obtained thru a national unified control or a regional control, which will utilize all existing facilities regardless of competing claims," Lauck said. He quoted for mer Director General William G. Mc Adoo to show that "there is no ques tion but that great economies are pos sible under unified management in the direction of a comprehensive national plan for transporting products within minimum effort in the shortest line from point to point." Wants Shops Pooled. Lauck suggested pooling of repair shops, elimination of circuitous rail routes, unification of terminals, con solidation of ticket offices, universal mileage tickets. standardization of equipment, maintenance of uniform freight classifications, maintenance of common time tables between impor tant points, high demurrage rates and utilization of water routes for relief of crowded rail lines. Pooling of locomotives and cars was recommended to meet traffic con gestion. He said this would be im possible under private control. Lauck charged failure to adopt eco nomic devices, to standardize loco motives, overdevelopment of motor power in respect to other facilities, in efficient freight handling at terminals, labor turnover waste, preventable loss and damage, poor accounting and other alleged extravagances cost the railroads $963,500,000 annually. "Engine terminals and shops are from ten to thirty years behind the times, rendering them about 60 nr cent efficient," was the witness, "The 'permanent--way' of raih?os,d classification yards, roadbeds- pass, ing sidingst coaling and wafer fu dit ties, bridges, signal equipment and communication has been so neglected as to be another source of waste and inefficiency." Bridges, it was declared, are In many instances too light to permit the hauling of maximum load trains. In- stallatlon of permanent bridges, while caning tor a Dig outlay oi cash, would net millions in savings to railroads each year, Lauck said. Lack Good Signal Systems. Lack ef proper signal systems means slow handling of trains, ac cording to Lauck. He characterized the system of loading and transferrins of freight and baggae as "primitive." "Freight cars moved an average of 26.1 miles per day in 1917 in com parison to 24.9 miles in 1920," Lauck said. "An increase of two tons per car in the load carried was noted in the same period. There was also an increase of 6.6 per cent in 1917 to 7 per cent in 1920 of the number of serviceable freight cars." GAS DOWN TO PRE-WAR PRICES Reduction of Four Cents Per Gallon Announced Today. Gasoline and kerosene are down to pre-war prices Again, for the first time, today. Telegraph news to the effect that a three-cent cut had been made at Kansas City in the price of gasoline, resulted in the announcement from all oil refining companies in To peka that their filling stations had re duced the price on gasoline four cents a gallon, and three cents on kerosene. This brings the rate on gasoline down to 19.6 cents per gallon, deliv ered from the tank wagons, and 20.6 from the service stations. Kerosene is now being sold at 10.1 cents per gal lon.

They are clinging on to tn bowl with a vengeance, take it from those who produce livestock and pre pare it for the markets. With prices of both cattle and hogs down to pre-war levels, the retail mar ket still holds up and there is Utti prospect of the public getting any great benefit from the slump in llve-j stock prices, according to leaders in! close touch with market conditions, interviewed by the United Press today. But Beef Goes Up. I While prices of choice beef steers dropped to the lowest point in the. last decade, there has been an ad vance of from 1 to 2 cents In the last two weeks for the best grade of beef. The advance in beef quotations was explained by butchers, who said there had been u. strengthening of the de mand due to the scarcity. Packers had been killing no more than neces sary and had little in storage, it was learned, so that as soon as the acmanri was felt, it had an immediate effect on retail and wholesale prices or meat but not on livestock. Market quotations show that live stock is selling below pre-war levels so that the responsibility for keeping up retail prices cannot be placed on the producer. The "buck" is them passed up to the packer the whole saler. Market quotations on such articles that the packer sells which can be compared to pre-war prices put the packer In the clear of the responsibil ity, they claim. Lard is down' to 9 or 10 cents, which'-was about the fig ure in 1916. i t Pork Down First. The first meat product to complete pork. Wholesale pork reached the 1914 level some time ago, and yet retail pdrk. prices are still far above the igue of-seven years ago. Three and afearter pounds of pork roast today sold Tor $1.18 at a lead ing retail butcher shop. The same piece of meat could be obtained from, aay peeling employes' organisation shop for about 65 cents. This Is above the wholesale priee, as the employes' shop must also pay its overhead charges from the selling price, the same as other retail shops. Hogs and cattle now being received are of the choicest grades. They have been fed heavily during the winter on cheap corn and other feed. An ab normal number of high class hogs and -cattle are reported at practically all markets. Say Demand Low. Butchers say the reason that prices remain up is because there is na de mand for the "low grade" of meat, and they must make enough profit on the high grades to make up for the loss in the low grades. They must buy both classes from the packer. Inquiry at a half dozen Chicago butcher shops for soup bones and other cuts usually regarded as "low grades," brought the response that they had nothing of the sort on hand. Even the once lowly liver manages to maintain the high caste to which it was elevated during the war. Altho the price of the live animal is Just the same as it was ten years ago when enough liver could be obtained for a nickel to feed a family of six, Chicago uu itneri were cnarging 15 cents a pound. All Depends on Batchers. Kansas City. Mo.. April 2. The livestock market will not improve un til the retaM butchers reduce their prices to the consumer, a livestock ex change official said today. He claimed retail prices were so hich that people were eating less and less -meat, resulting in decreased de mand and an oversuppiy of livestock at all markets.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1921 IN A BIG TANGLE! American Newspaper Publish era Face Economic Problems. Annual Convention at 3few York Takes Up Questions. ADJUSTMENTS ARE CERTAIN Expect Little Trouble With Labor in Solving Difficulty. Publishers Hare Five-Fold Campaign on Schedule. New York, April 28. The American Newspaper Publiehers' association meeting in annual convention here tomorrow will be faced by the most important problems with which it has been confronted in years. These include: Wage adjustments, postal rates, taxation, threat of a strike in the newsprint industry and maintenance of advertising: scales. The newspaper business, in common with other industries, has reached a point where wage adjustments are vitally necessary as an insurance against actual loss, it was pointed out today by some publishers. Problem for Individuals. While this is a question which must be worked out Individually by each publisher, it will receive the benefit at the convention of the research by the association's labor bureau. Any ad justments which might be made, it was said, would be effected only after friendly conferences with the em ployes. There has been less labor trouble in the newspaper business than any similar industry and it was declared to be the intention of the publishers to maintain this arnica h'tf relation. The new postal zone rates on second class mail, by which the country is divided into eight zones, become ef fective July 1. It was expected that the association might appeal to con gress to abrogate, or at least readjust th"se new rates. The publishers were expected to add their voice to that of every other line of business in asking repeal of the burdensome taxation, particularly the excess profits tax. Popor Makers Reject New Scale. The forty-eight locals of the Inter national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and J'aper Mills Workers have voted to reject the proposals of the manu facturers for a 30 per cent wage cut. The workers asked a 10 per cent in crease. If a strike results when the present agreements expire between May 1 and 11 morf than 25.000 work ers and fifty mills wijl be affected. The International Faper company was reported to have withdrawn all contracts after May 1. Government ifports recently showed fifty days' newsprint supply in the hands of the publishers or en route. Certain advertisers have undertaken to chtain a revision downward of ad rites. Publishers here today declared it would be "business suicide to cut ad rates at this time in the face. of increasing costs.'

Watch U Grow Watch Service Win ROY TAXI CAB 71 1 PHONE Always a Man dr. j. c. bloodgodd here Xoted Baltimore Sargeou Spoke to Shawnee Medical Society. Dr. Joseph C. Bloodgood of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. Md., ad dressed the Shawnee County Medical society last night on tha subject of bone and breast tumors. His lecture was illustrated by photographs and lantern, slides and was a. comprehen sive presentation of the subject. He especially emphasized the clinical diagnosis of tumors by the surgeon; he considers this of equal importance with the microscopic diagnosis. He said that early diagnosis and operation is still the chief hope of those afflicted with malignant growths, altho radium and X-ray treatments are useful adjuncts. He especially insisted on the importance of any woman over 25 years old who has a lump in the breast seeking a competent diagnosis immediately. The cause of cancer is as much a mystery as ever in spite of the world-wide re search. Personally he spends over one third of his rather large professional income on research work and drives a flivver in order to have more for it. Doctor Bloodgood is one of the fore most authorities of the world on his subject. He stopped over in Topeka on his way to Wichita, where he' isto deliver a lecture on the same subject at the meeting of the Kansas State Medical society. REMOVE WAR-TIME RULES Citizens of Germany and Austria May Now Be Admitted. Citizens of Germany and Austria living in Shawnee county may file dec larations of intentions to become citi zens and have their applications acted upon the same as the citizens of any other country, according to informa tion received by W. E. Anderson, clerk of the district court, from N. K. Bev ington, chief naturalization examiner, St. Louis. During the war congress passed a law forbidding the naturalization of enemy aliens. A few days ago this restriction was removed and their ap plications will now be heafd and acted upon the same as if they were the sub ject of any other country. Many subjects of the Central pow ers have refrained from declaring their intentions or petitioning for nat uralization, on belief that such an at tempt would be futile, due to the war time restrictions on ultimate naturali zation. On April 9 the applications of en emy aliens in Shawnee county -who had filed their declarations before the wartime law passed, but who could not obtain their final papers because of the war time restriction, were heard and disposed of. In the future, any alien may file a declaration of inten tion and be naturalized in the regular manner. AXXVAfi MEETING OF CHURCH. First Baptist Congregation Will Meet at 6:30 O'clock Tonight.

The senate today took up the task of making peace 'With Germany and Austria. Its action. In which the house must con cur, is to be the prelude to the whole Harding policy of establishing world peace upon a permanent foundation. Senator Lodge, in calling up today the Knox resolution repealing the declarations of war upon Germany and Austria, authorized by congress in 1917. set that program in motion. All congress has to do with the pro gram for the present at least, is to substitute a technical state of peace for the technical state of war which has existed since the armistice ending actual hostilities more than two years ago. The resolution as reported by the foreign relations committee binds the United States to nothing. It is simply a formality. Lodge hopes to pass the resolution in a day or two. He will be satisfied to pass it this week. The house, hav ing a resolution of its own, may take a. week longer.'

Back on Job Every Day Since Taking Tanlac. "The very first bottle of Tanlac I took brought my appetite back to .me. and now I never miss a day from my work on account of ill health, said L. R. Edwards, well known carpenter residing at 1417 South 19th St., St. Joseph, Mo., recently. "For the past year I've had a world of trouble with indigestion. 1 got to where I could hardly eat anything, and nothing agreed with me. After meals I had a heavy, distressed feel ing in my stomach for hours, and my head ached at timea until I got so dizzy I could hardly climb a ladder. My back hurt terribly, and I was so run down and weak I was constantly losing as much as two weeks at a time from my work. "Well, I just kept suffering until I got in such bad shape I was almost ready to do anything to get relief, and it seemed just like luck that a friend of mine should happen to tell me what Tanlac had done for him. I started taking it, and have finished my third bottle now, with the result that I'm in fine shape again. I never have a headache or dizzy spell any more, and Tanlac has built up my general health so much it's a pleasure to say a good word for, the medicine." Adv. Take It In Time DO you know that by lar the larger number of the common ailments of women are not surgical ones that is they are not caused by any serious displacement, tumor, growth, or other marked change f DO you know that these common ailments produce symptoms that are very much like those caused bv the more serious surgical conditions? DO you know that many women and young girls suffer need lessly from such ailments? More than that, they endanger their health by allowing their ailments to continue and develop into something serious. If treated early, that is, within a reasonable time after the first warning symptoms appear, serious conditions may often be averted. Therefore, at the first appearance of such symptoms as periodic pains, irregularities, irritability and nervousness, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound should be taken. It is prepared with accuracy and cleanliness from medicinal plants. It con' tains no narcotics nor poisonous drugs, and can be taken with perfect safety. The Vegetable Compound acts on the conditions which bring about these symptoms in a gentle and efficient manner. The persistent use of it shows) itself in the' disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeable symptoms. In a word, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound acts as a natural restora. tive, relieving the present distress and preventing more serious trouble. Why not give a fair trial to this medicine lydia E.

Simple Way To End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. Adv.

If the farmers and grain producers of the west can cast out from their midst the professional agitators who hurry to prescribe nostrums for the economic ills from which the farmers suffer, says the Boston Transcript, a Inn sten will be taken towards rem edying conditions admittedly bad. As fast as one crop of agitators fans in I its effort to lead the farmers out of the wilderness another crop comes to the fore to save them. The latest plan for aiding the farmer is the 'emergenc tariff, which is certain to "prove a failure. If congress be hon- f estly desirous of helping the farmer 1 '"it will endeavor to bring about a re duction of freight charges on the farmers' shipments of his products to -market. It costs SS cents to ship a "bushel of wheat from MinneapollsJ.o 'New York. France is displaying extreme eager ness to get at the throat of Germany. If she undertake to gratify this de. sire and later should need help she may not be able to obtain it so readily as she did when she was on the defen sive. The Texas woman who has asked Oovernor Allen to request everybody In this state to wear cotton clothing on May 1 clearly is not familiar with the uncertainties of Kansas weather. Few Jayhawkers are provided with cotton overcoats. Those who complain of deflation may still be thankful tnat they do not live in Mexico. In that country all business is conducted thru the me dium of what hard -money is in exist ence. The government has repudiated every dollar of paper currency ever is sued. It is reported that .Japanese are buying up discarded distillery machin ery in this, country. If they plan to put it to Its original use Hobson's alarm over Japanese aggression should be relieved. Certainly no country where whisky is permitted could harm us seriously. STRIKE INSURANCE. A new element, has appeared in the industrial situation In the form of strike insurance. It is being opposed by labor leaders, thru both denuncia tion and ridicule. Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, un dertakes to give the reasons for the opposition of the labor leaders to the new form of insurance. "Strike in surance will encourage strikes," de clares Mr. Woll. "When an employer is insured against strikes he certainly will not be inclined to go far In malt ing concessions to his employes, how ever Just their demands may be. It would be to the interest oL companies selling strike insurance to foment la bor troubles In order to stampede em ployers into taking out strike insur ance." There appears to be little ground for Mr. Woll's apprehension. An em ployer would have no more desire for strikes in his industry if he were In sured than he would like to see his factory burn down if he carried firo insurance, nor does a man seek death merely because his life is insured. On the contrary the insurance company may become an added influence for the prevention of strikes by using Its best efforts to promote understanding, compromises and concessions in labor troubles. Fire insurance companies are constantly doing everything In their power to reduce fire risks. They encourage the installation of efficient fire protection devices, automatic alarms, sprinkler systems, and main tain salvage corps whose business it Is to rush to the scene of a fire and protect property from the effects of fire and water. The big life insurance companies contribute In every effec tive way to the improvement of thsj public health, well knowing that sTre y duction of the sickness and death rates means added profits to them. It la absurd to assert that strike in surance companies are going to "fo ment Labor troubles in order to stam pede employers Into taking out strike insurance." It would he as reason able to suppose that fire insurance and life insurance companies are go. ing to promote conflagrations by ad vocating las inspection laws and in other ways short of actual incendiar ism, or are going to encourage the ae cumulations of filth and the pollution of water supplies in order to produce destructive epidemics. Mr. Well's, opposition to strike in surance probably la due to the fact that anything which tends to elimi nate strikes renders his job less se cure. Without strikes there would be little for him to do. Almost everybody except the ulti mate consumer finds ways to dodge federal taxes. The New Tork Tele phone company has redueed a certain toll rate from 15 cents to 14 cents, so as to avbid the government tax of 5 cents that begins with the first-named figure. This procedure brings no par ticular advantage so far as the patron is concerned, for the government must have so much money anyway, and if it does" not get It in one way it will in another. BEHIND THE FIRING LINE. One of the anomalous developments of world politics is seen in Germany's request that this country, with .whom she is at war, should mediate between her and the allies in the reparations dispute. President Harding wisely has returned ax positive refusal. There is no more effectual way of im pressing upon one's mind the advan tages of th-s American form of gov ernment and the peaceful atmosphere in which it is administered than to read of the jealousies, intrigues, and secret diplomatic trades that feature the almost daily history of the nations of the old world.'. It appears to be the natural instinct of European nations to be forever scheming how they can annex some of the territory arid wealth of their neighbors. It was so for centuries be fore the World War, and the war itself was but an attempt on the part of Austria to gobble up Serbia, leading the friends of each to take sides until the whole of Europe was engulfed in the struggle. For a time after the cessation of hostilities the former combatants rested. The allies had a mutual interest in that they were fighting a common foe, and the cen tral powers were drawn together for similar reasons. Many persons held the belief that the spirit of co-operation manifest among the allies at the end of the war presaged the dawn of a new day when all would strive to gether for the maintenance of peace. But U is utterly foreign to the Eu ropean national character to remain long at peaee, and from the day of the armistice new animosities have developed .and old feuds have blazed up anew. An enumeration of them would be a call of the roll of the states of Europe, great and small. The lines of cleavage drawn by the war are rapidly being lost. The allies fought together while ther was a common enemy, but with him dis posed of they have quickly turned their; attention to the points of dis pute among themselves. Bulgaria is only awaiting an op portune moment to strike at Greece in an effort to annex Thrace. After Greece has exhausted herself in her war with Turkey, doubtless the oppor tunity for Bulgaria will present Itself. It is charged that Greece is plotting with Jugo-Slavia for a new' disposi tion of Albania that Italy would be certain to oppose. The traditional Balkan situation is as vexatious as ever. Poland and Lithuania are at odds over their boundaries, and both are threatened by the Russian bol sheviks. France and Great Britain have been disputing as to the proper manner of handling the Germans, and their rival interests in Syria and Mes opotamia bid fair to develop into a rial quarrel. Germany is torn with internal dissension. Austria is threat ened with an uprising. The United States is free. We are still able to view it all with serenity. Foreign representatives are cprnlng to our shores, each with his plea for aid in one form or another. But Presi dent Harding says: "We do net mean to be entangled." It is pointed out by the Christian Science Monitor that the Berlin poli tician retains his genius for doing the thing wrong. It says: "Her he la no-v appealing to a country with which he is at war to arbitrate be tween hlm-.and countries with which he Is at peace. He knows that the government which above all others he has to satisfy ia In Paris, therefore he gets busy on the cable to Washington. He has been told that France will ob ject to being approached thru a third party, consequently It is to a, third party that he turns. Then he com plains that he Is misunderstood." A sales tax would he InconVenient to the private collectors, not paid for all the annoyance and bookkeeping it would entail, says the St. Louis Times, hut so far as consumers are concerned there would be no reason for so many multiplications of it as have resulted from the sq-called excess "profits tax. Each sale would be a completed transaction and there would be no jus tification for an extra charge for "in surance" of profits at the end of the year. Consumers have paid the fed eral surtaxes several times over, 011 this account. Evening Story Buried Treasure. BI DOROTHY DOUGLAS. Billy North wondered if all chil dren had, at one time in their play days, buried a tin box containing the heart's most treasured possessions. Billy had been about the world a good deal since those days in his own life and how he had returned to the old homestead: The brownstone dwelling where, as a little boy, be had spent his childhood, was the place where his travels ended. He hoped now to stay, forever in that place called home. Billy had roamed so long and so excitedly that nothing in the world, seemed any bet ter than an anchor in the way of the old house with Ub many fond memories. He loved the large, old rooms, with great yawning fireplaces in each. He loved the bit of flagged garden In the rear and he intended turning it into a veritable fairy gar den. The ideas he had picked up in various parts of the globe were etched in his brain and ready to reproduce themselves In that square ef garden with its high stone walls and its Bingle spreading oak tree. It was while he was spading up around the roots of that same oak preparatory tb carrying out a cicu lar seat he had seen in a garden in London that Billy found his buried treasure, That old tin box flung Billy straight back thru the years until he was a lanky boy of twelve summers. The box was rusiy and earthy and the contents musty, but Billy was as ex cited as if the old broken knife were a famous diamond and the mildewed note a queen's love missive. Also there were a broken doll and five marples. The note, however, brought a swift laugh to Billy's lips. Scratched on a bit of slate, as If with heart's blood were the words "I love Daisy. I will always love Daisy." Billy sat long and amusedly eas ing at the treasure. "Daisy! Daisy! Oh! Daisy Rogers a freckle-faced little imp who lived next door," laughed Billy. He remembered now having no ticed that the great house occupied twenty years ago by his first love was now an interior decorator's studio and was called the Dragon. From the number of cars parked against the curb Billy imagined the Dragon to be most sueessful, but he couldn't help wondering to what part of the globe his little dove had flown. And because Billy was a bit roman tic and partly just to see if there would be an answer, he decided ta put an advertisement in the papers. He inserted it in all the datllies. "Whereabouts of Daisy .Rogers, once riving at 9 West Forty-ninth street." After that Billy went on with his landscape gardening, both in his own property and that of others. Billy was rather well known in that chosen pro fession. Sundays he saved for his own garden, and on that day Billy, in old trousers and flannel shirt, enjoyed working out his schemes in that small back patch of property. The tin box was lying on his library table he kept it there to amuse special friends with. Manya yarn of boyhood days had been unearthed from other heads by that buried- treasure. Billy was working in a great lion's head in plaster against his stone wail when he felt a bang on the side of his head. He glanced about for the attacking party, suspecting a small boy, but wasiunsuccessful. v- Good naturedly he again bent over the plaster. This time an Annie hit him squaTely en the top of the head.' His movement was too swift for the miscreant, for she was caught red-handed,- or perhaps red-headed, for undoubtedly the head in the upper window next door was red a fiery', tousled red. Billy gazed upward and the pert little face in the window smiled down at him. "Hello, Billy!" she called. "Daisy! By all that's holy! Do you still live there? Come down, this minute! I have something to show you." He still gazed unbelievingly at that head with its mop of red hair. For Billy had caljed it a mop twenty years ago and shamelessly he still called it a mop, albeit a burnished, coppery, wonderful mop. "You used to be a red-headed little freckled-faced imp!" shouted Billy. "And you still are a long-legged, tow-headed youth!" flung Daisy. "And don't disgrace the neighborhood remember, I am a dignified interior decorator so stop shouting your flat tering remarks. I am coming down to see what you are doing." "Spitfire same as ever!" grunted Billy, and dashed thru to the front door hardly realizing that twenty years had gone since he and Daisy had play ed together in those old gardens. Daisy rushed thru the front gates and into Billy's studio in much the same- state of mind as Billy. Her batik smock was of coppery silk that matched her wonderful hair. When they drew near one another there was a breathless moment in which eaeh hesitated hrfnr th v.... clasp. A moment in which each de voured the other with hungry eyes and eyes that took in each detail of me omer s growtn. "You fctill have few rvr.ki. across the bridge of your nose," Billy f.iinaeu mum to say. tno his voice shook a trifle. Her eyes were wide and gray and Intelligent. "And you still have a growl in your voice." laughed Daisy, but that her childhood pal had developed into a splendid fair-haired, clear-eved eiant. was printing itself into the recess of ner neart. "Come here," Billy said swiftly and dragged her, in much the same wav as twenty years ago he had dragged her, into the library to see his latest treasure. "I found this in the gar den uiftier the oak tree," he said and Watched her closely. "My doll that you stole from me." she cried and touched the broken toys with fingers that shook. Next she saw the knife and then trre slate. This she carried to the light that streamed In from the French windows leading into the back garden and Billy came and stood close beside) her. "I love Daisy," she read, "I will al ways love Daisy," she half turned to Billy, then quickly away. "I I what silly things children think to do," she said and her voice trembled. Billy was silenf"a. long, long moment while he contemplated the fluff of that glorious coppery mop and the white curve cf neck, for Daisy s back was toward him. "You know. Daisy. he said slowly, "I am not so sure it's silly. I have never been in love perhaps Daisy flashed about, her eyes glow ing. "Billy North don't you dare teli me you love me the very first time we meetlH. The light !n her eyes was not anger. "I am not given to falling in love, either," she added. "I have known you exactly twenty two years. Miss Red-Head," laughed Billy, "since you were a freckle-faced imp of five summers. I have that slate as witness pretty good test of faithfulness, isn't it?" He deliberately turned Daisy so that she had to look at him. "I will dare tell you I love you whenever I want to. In fac,t I will probably shout it over the back fence." V There was a trailing sweetness about Daisy's laughter. "I think I will rush right home and listen," she said. (Copyright, 1921, by the McCIure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE REVOLT OF VERA SANDERSON BY JANE PHELPS r VERA SEES HOW THINGS WILL GO. CHAPTER 2. That first winter was a strenuous one for me. Keith had many friends and they invited us to affairs of all kinds. However, Margaret was also almost invariably included in our in vitations. Often I wished we might go alone. But I never voiced the wish. After our first big dinner party Keith wounded my feelings, a! tho I am sure he had not intended doing so. "The dinner, everything, was a great success, Margaret," he said after the guests had gone. "You are a won derful hostess. I must send you some thing nice- to show my appreciation." "I arranged the table and the flow ers, Keith- praise me a little too." I said half laughing. "I rearranged them when you went up to dress," Margaret said, a tone in her voice I had already learned to hate. "Better let Margaret attend to things. Kitten," Keith said. "She has exquisite taste." I nrsMe no reply, yet I knew she had told an untruth. She had not re arranged the flowers. She might have moved a vase a fraction ef an inch so that she might claim rearrangement, but nothing more. The next day Keith brought her an exquisite veil pin. I had none, and perhaps it was a bit childish, but I wept a little because he had not brought one for me also. I may per haps be forgiven my childishness be cause I had been married only three months. Our wedding trip had lasted six weeks. Often have I almost wished that I had died before our return, be fore that few weeks became ''only a happy memory standing out fiercely because of the unhappiness which fol lowed. 1 One day when I told Keith I felt depressed, blue, without giving any reason, he suggested that I ask some young friend to come in and spend an hour or two with me each day. I acted upon his suggestion, often ring ing for tea. One afternoon, almost before the door closed after a girl I particularly liked and had enjoyed, Margaret remarked:. "If you are going to entertain so much we will have to have another maid. I can't spare Martha to serve tea to a lot of giggling girls.- I need her to help me dress." As Keith paid part of the servants" wages as well as half of all the household expenses, I felt like saymg that I had as much right to Martha's services as she had. But with my usuaL meekness I said nothing. When Keith questioned me about the afternoon I told him, however, and was astonished when baeid: "I hadn't thought of it Jing Mar garet's hour for dressinfwtien I ad vised liaving your young- friends in for tea. I don't belie -we can af ford another servant, 60 you will have to find some other way to amuse yourself. I am sorry, but I can't take any mere expense upon myself just now." v When alone I stamped my foot and said s very naughty word under my breath. I suppose I should be ashamed to confess it but even if I was meek, I was not, am not now, a saint. And one needed to be to keep sweet under suoh provocation as mine. But after this I seldom invited anyone to tea or luncheon, altnt Margaret had her friends with her constantly. I resented It, but had not the cour age to complain to Keith, who in variably took his sister's part against me. I suppose -It was because he had lived with her eo long seven years, and only three, months with me. I used to try to comfort myself by thinking that perhaps when' we had been married seven years he would be more considerate of me, more as he was on our wedding trip. That winter I proved the truth of the old saying: that to him that hath shall be given as far as unhappiness was concerned, una uttie annoyance after another, the taking away of ail my independence, until I used to say to myself that I hardly dared to breathe naturally for fear I would be forbidden to breathe at all. I tried, God knows I did, to be patient, to keep quiet so -that I eould hold my husband's love which I felt sure his sister was deliberately try ing to undermine. I had overheard her cay to one of her intimates that she was sure our marriage would end in the divorce court because Keith would soon tire of me. I had been shopping, and had brought a box of her favorite candy to her. I was taking It to ner room, the door of which was slightly open, when I heard her prophecy about me. I took. the candy into the-kitchen and gave it to the cook. (Tomorrow A Home of Their Own.) JUST FOLKS BY EDGAR A. GUEST. THE TECZ CRITIC.

"Whenever I see a lot of little flappers with their faces smeared with cosmetics, and their hair eombed like a Skye terrier's, and their skirts up to their knees, I bless, heaven that not one, of them belongs to rue. "And I weep with sympathy to think how their own fathers must feel when they see their daughters dressed with an utter disregard for all de cency, and painted UP until you can't tell them from the woman of th street. And when I think that my boy will probably marry one of these silly little brainless creature, whose whole idea in life is shimmying and jazzing, I feel that the kindest thing that I could do would be to take him out and kill him to save him from a fate worse than death. "What's the matter with the mod ern girl, anyway? Why has she no sense of modesty? What makes her so dress-mad? Why haven't we any more sweet, dignified, reserved, intel ligent, sensibly-dressed young women like there were when I was yeung?

"I agree with you 'aa to finding the modern girls' costumes shocking, and I can't see how any mother, who knows tho world, can let her little daughter go out with a couple of layers of chiffon doing duty for a bodice, and a dress up to hs. knees; but, -after all, the modesty or immod esty of such a garb depends on the point of view. In the South Sea Is lands a strinjr of shark's teeth con stitutes a perfectly proper garb for a lady, and we are already getting so accustomed to semi-nude women in society, that we no longer look at them twice. "When I was a girl, our dresses came up to our ara, and down un der our feet, and our skirts were ten and twelve yards around the. bottom. and interlined with haircloth so that they weighed a ton, and we tied rreat bustles around our waists, and one year had sleeves so tight that we couldn't raise our hands to our heads, and the next they were so big that we had to ao sideways thru a doer. "That was the sensible costume 1 wore when vou came a-courtmg -me and between the skirt that rendered a woman almost helpess to walk, and that trailed on the street and swept up all the microbes, and the sheared off one that the girls are now wear ing, believe me, I think tnat tne aa vajitage is with the abbreviated garment.

It Is only when we get alone that we really begin to appraise ourselves properly. And it is only as we come to see ourselves in the actual light of what we are that we are able to go ahead intelligently. I Accomplishment requires Isolation. When a man -or woman looms sud, denly in the Bright of public attention, the first thing that comes to one's mind is that some accident has oc curred that the man or woman has "luckily" arrived at their fame. But if you go back, if you seek to learn, you will find that what you see is but the flowering of sacrifice, study, long years of plodding and isolation. Isolation is the bone and sinew growing time of the soul. The thinker observes in the crowd, but he does very little creative work there. He must retire to his library or to sorae silent place, where he may gather up his seeings and build his findings into ideas and practical sug gestions. Isolation takes courage. You have to g-ive up much that you may grow much. When problems vex, a man wants to get alone where he may think them all out in their true proportion. Isolation has its price. It comes high. You have to give up- much while in it but you are sure to come out of it better equipped and with a finer balance of power. Nearly all of us at times become greatly Isolated in heart. In loneli ness of spirit we often grope. But there has never been a day that has not followed its night of darkness. We must all come up out of our night INTO our day!

"I certainly will." said the doctor. '"Very well." replied the society leader. She placed her hand to her mouth and removed two complete sets of false teeth! "And, oh.

MORE OWN HOMES Americans Make XHch Progress In Last Year. ObserTationMade" in Thirty Cities by Boss Crane. TELLS OF HOME FURNISHING Demonstrates Maximum Com fort at Minimum Cost. Gives Audience Much Advice in Buying Furniture. "Americans are establishing homes of their own now more than they did two years ago, yes even more than they did twelve months ago. I have observed it in some twenty-five or thirty cities which I have visited," said Ross Crane, who gave the last of the home furnishing lectures in the Better Homes institute this morning at the auditorium. Maximum in Beauty. In the lecture this morninar. the ar tist-lecturer demonstrated how to get tne maximum of comfort and beauty in home furnishings at-the minimum of cost. The room was furnished for an imaginery couple who were Just newly married and who had 1500 to spend and. as the lecturer added thoughtfully, "a little credit at the stores. Rug Is First. The furnishings for the room, which were restricted to those which the young couple could afford and yet tnose necessary for the comfort of the room, included first a rug on the floor ana curtains at the window. Crane spoke of the ugliness of the lace cur tains of former days, the kind that' were starched so stiffly they could stand alone and quoted a saying of some clever woman, "By their lace curtains ye shall not know them After the rug and the curtains should come several things necessary to the spiritual side of life, music and pic tures. "Of course," remarked the speaker, "you can't eat a picture, you cant sleep on it, neither can you sit down and rest on It, yet we need them in our homes. The next pieces of furniture placed In the room and which are essential in a home, were a couch or davenport. a table (Gateleg if possible), lamps and chairs. Advice in Buying- Furnishings. The lecturer gave his audience a number of bits of advice in regard to buying furnishings. One of the things which he impressed on his hearers was that velvet mohair, as a daven port, couch or chair covering Is the ideal covering as it will wear a life time. He also spoke of monk's cloth and everyday denim as good up holsterings. Ctickley bed couches and Klearflax rugs were also recommend ed for the home which must neces sarily have comparatively Inexpensive furnishings in which one wishes to combine beauty and utility. This evening the lecture in the series will be given at -8 o'clock at the high school auditorium with Miss Evelyn D. Hansen discussing the Art of dress. Living models win De usea 4n the demonstration. 'Everybody has an Aunt Matucia and some of us have an Uncle Ma tilda," declared Ross Crane, expert in harmony, last night to an amused au dience at the auditorium as he began the task of making a home-like room out of what seemed to he a heterogene ous collection of furniture, scarfs and "brac-a-bric" as he called the numer ous vases and odds and ends scattered over the room. The Aunt Matilda of Crane's story was an elderly aunt who presented her relatives witn hopelessly ugly furniture rom which they suf fered for years and finally declared their independence by burning a part of it and placing tne remainaer in tne attic. Introduced by James Troutman. Introduced by James Troutman as an architect and a designer, of-real beauty In homes, Crane recalled the days of long ago when art was repre sented by a rolling pin swathed in red plush surcingles, tied around the handle with blue ribbon and hung in the parlor for a pin cushion. "When it come to manufacturing articles of art that violate good taste, America doesn't take second place for anyone." said Crane, picking up from off the mantle an ugly blue elephant with a clock imbedded in Its interior. He Spoke of the tendency of the American people to buy things, not because they were work of beauty, but because ;"-ir -v,- r-(- sS!iB32!r:,Sj- Caruso, Galli-Curci, Heifetz and Other Great Artists confirm us when we tell you that only on the VICTROLA can you hear them in your home as they are heard on the stage, in the great musical centers. 83S Kansas Ave. they just happened to do so. The ele phant he purchased in an art depart ment In an Illinois store, the clerK informing him that that was the only one they had on hand at present but they were looking for a carload next week. Another example of ''art' which he called a pathological speci men and declared was ready to ianc was an ornate red vase with huge clusters of red grapes on it. Furniture Placed In Roat. As the lectrtrer talked' in his humor ous way, keeping his audience witlt him. he busied himself placing; ins furniture about the room in the most advantageous manner. He removed the many coverings from orr tne ta bles, took down from off the walls tho family photographs which were tacked up and as he remarked, "one could go upstairs on one-side on the pictures and come down on they otn- moved the furniture about ana the room began to take on a sem blance of homelikeness. A chair waa placed at the side of the table, another in the corner by the fireplace so "that In case any of the family should de cide to stay at home they would have a comfortable place to sit." Shade Haa Three Functions. "A lamp and shade has three tunc tlons It is a reflector, a shield for tha eyes and it casta a glow of warmth over the room." The famous art ex pert declared that lamp shades should always be made of one color or tw colors very closely related. borne Crane maxims, as given Mon day night: "A desk should always b placed where the light can be on It. "Light and heat determine the ar rangement of a room," "Not too much, one of the great principles of "the Greeks, should be one of our principles in home furnishing," "Almost all dec oration is over decoration." "A mirror is the eve of a room." It adds a sense of space," "A squaro room is an abominations" "Never put a table at an angle," "The two larg est pieces of furniture in a room should be placed first and should fol low the lines of the room," "A ruu should never say 'Hello' to you when you come Into the room," "The pho nograph is the only piece of furnftura which should be placed aross the cor ner of the room." "The time has come," said Crane, at the close of the rearranging of tha room, "when the American people must restore the value of the home. The home is the place for the courting instead of the movie or the automo bile. We spend $100 on a garment and yet regret spending that much on a table which will'last us the remain der of our life As In the afternoon le'cture at the close, when the room had been ar ranged to the speaker's satisfaction, and the softly shaded lights vera turned on, he reminded the audience that it needed one thing and that waa a woman's presence. This was sup plied by Mrs. Crane and Mrs. Howard Searle, who entered the room," Mrs. Crane bearing a bowl of flowers. Mrs. Searle closed an enjoyable lecture with two songs, "Love's Old Sweet Song" and "The Last Rose of Summer." Today will end the home furnish-" Ing lectures. This evening Miss Evelyn Hansen will give the first dem onstration in the art of dress, follow ing it with a second "demonstration on Wednesday afternoon.

Jest As It Wu ALiheThesyter AT TH.5 OBPHEUM, Monte Blue In "The Kentuckians" proved to be one of the best if not the best evening's entertainment shown there in quite some time. The story Is full of dramatic and Heart interest al most from the very start. It is screened in some naturally beautiful settings that make the story real all thru, with just enough of the swift action in espots to keep one keyed to the edge of keen in terest. Monte Blue is an actor of no mean merit and evidently he is one of those stars who Is sure enough of his ability that he can afford to let some of the other characters have a bit of the camera. And be is sup ported by several mighty capable people too. It is a good show, folks and In con junction with it there is a mighty good program of music This Man Saxton who has taken over the Orpheum orchestra gives promise of developing into one of the best leaders any theater in Topeka has known. AT THE NOVELTY, there is one act that far outshines all the others with a stellar brilliancy. It is the comedy singing and patter offered by Dunlay and Merrill on the fourth position. Usually wheu a comedy act is staged in vaudeville, the is one real comedian and a "feeder" to "fatten" the "gags." In this Instance both members of the team are comedians of no low order and the way they hand the laugh stuff back and forth is well worth the entire price of admission. The girl in par ticular is worthy of mention, because there are so few women who know how to handle eomeay artistically. j Howard end Atkins on second base prove to ha tp quit a bit of class, but perhaps it was the fact that they wanted to be too classy, that they did not get across yes terday afternoon, tho Col. Hughes, the criterian of all vaudeville as far as To peka is concerned, liked it Immensely. The only thing about the bill the first half of this week that detracts is the super abundant of athletic stuff. It opens with the La Flor and Portia duo in aerial stnnts and closes with the Juniper team in parallel bars. Neither act duplicates any of the stuff -offered by the other, but oh well, in the words of Papa Katzen jammer, "enough is too much." The feature act given as the third offer ing is the comedy episode "Apple Blos soms,' by the W. N. Patton company, Is well staged but there was something the matter with the acting yesterday afternoon as some of the best lines failed to get over. AT THE ISIS, "The Inside of the Cup." showing all this week, is one of the really big features of the year. It Is a strong story well staged and well acted. Tho at times some of the action is a bit complex, it works up to a dramatic climax that holds one breathless with its intensity of human emotion. Whether or not the church as a whole Is anything like the one shown, there is food for thought all thru the story. Whether or not th? class hatred of the working people shown, is typical of the American Inboringmen, their appeal for more con sideration as related by Winston Churchill tn this story, demands attention. The man or woman who sees this production and who is not given something to think about and regulate future action by. must be lacking in understanding or ability to feel for his neighbor. AT THE GRAND. Jack Pickford Is sup posed to be the star in "Just Out of Col lege." but even his sister's family name cannot make him a star and he fades be side some fat man whose name teems to have been lost. This heavyweight, who brings one back to the time of John Bunuy. really got all the laughs in the little farce, the story of which sounds a whole lota like that or "It Pays to Ad vertise." For those who like their movies done sumptuously and who want a lot of fine clothes, the opening scenes of this picture will be a treat. Never saw so many fine clothes and pretty women ail mixed op before in a long long time. IRISH AUTHORESS IS DEAD. Lady Gilbert Was Known to World of Literature as "Rosa Mulholland." Dublin, April 26.

The. national union of railway men has instructed its members not to handle coal from colliery aiding or from overseas. Sir Kric Geddes, minister of transporta tion, announced In the house of com mons today. He characterized the or der as a grave step. Such coal, the minister said, was absolutely necessary to the life of the community and to prevent its delivery was an attempt to starve the nation. Sir Kric stated that ,he had invited the general secretary of the national union of railway men to meet him this afternoorvand he hoped for a good re sult from the meeting. Proposals for the establishment of a wage plan acceptable to both sides of the mining controversy were considered at today's meet ing of miners and mine owners. 1'rime Minister lAnyd Ceorge presided over the meeting and was expected to give the government's views as to the proposal that the nation become, in effect, a party to the understanding between the miners and their em ployers. The plan submitted by the mine owners at yesterday's meeting contem plated only a temporary agreement and will be operative until July 31. After that time a new wage agreement which would take into consideration the financial ability of the industry in addition to proposing that the country be divided into five districts iov the gradual and uniform reduction of jvafp;s, the mine owners suggested the government should contribute in any area a sufficient sum to meet the max imum wapes paid. Uf payment of profits to owners at, the end of any month would entail a' reduction of wattes, the mine owners declared they would forego a division of thp surplus revenues of their properties. f UN kPiITbATION PLANT Consideration of Bids ami f Contracts Tukcn ITp by.

Realism in motion pictures counts nowadays, altho it happens sometimes that it costs the players appearing? in realistic scenes a pans or two. This was the case durins the filming of the lJaramount-Cosmopolitan picture. "The Inside of the Cup." which two players were severely cut by flying glass shattered by another excited ac tor. In this picture, now being shown at the Isis. Richard Garvin. Dlaved bv Richard CV.-lyle. goes to the office of Mdon I'arr, a wealthy vestryman, per sonated by David Torrerice. to demand ihe restitution of property of which he has been despoiled by Parr. He locks the door, draws a revolver and when his demand is refused, he shoots i'arr and then kills himself. The shot is heard and an axe Is brought with which the glass panel of the locked door is smashed. The flying class inflicted real cuts on the races and hands of Torrence and Car lyle. but which fortunately did not in terfere with their appearance in sub sequent scenes.

Charles Paddock, perhaps the fleetest man of a!I time, is ready to quit racing. "My last race will be in the national A. A. U. championships soon to be held in Pasadena." he announced to day. "After that I shall hang up my spikes and turn to literature. I have been running eight years. That's long enoueh." The University of Southern Cali fornia sprinter, who on Saturday broke four world's records, was asked how he keeps in trim and how he is able to "run faster than any other man In spite of the facthe is only five feet, eight inches tall. v "My chief exerci.-iK is trying to get to school on time." he'said. "What do I eat? What don't I eat? Meat, vegetables, ice cream, cereals, and candy. I shun pastry and coffee and I don't Fmoke. "Of course. I dance. That's good exercise. I attribute my success to a natural ability to run, keen competi tion, proper training and good condi tion. I never get winded, but my legs often tire. "I am not superstitious, you know, but I never run a race without first knocking wood. It makes me feel bet ter. I wouldn't wear No. 13 in a race. Any man who does is crazy. "I am always nervous before a race. All runners are. "Races are won by headwork as well as footwork." Paddock plans to become a writer. He is editor of the Trojan at U. S.

Oh-o of the biggest crowds to attend the opening of a car nival in Topeka, attended when the attractions on -'Quincy street were opened to the public last evening. The shows and all the riding devices making up the carnival attraction are apparently new and as yet without the least spot or mar on the last coat of paint the factory used before the ap paratus left for the road tour but a few weeks apo. Even the canvas used is white instead of the dingy grey which usually mars the circus or car nival appearance. The parade given last evening was watched by s crowd of several thou sand along the sidewalks of Kansas avenue. It was unusual from several standpoints, but chiefly because of the fact that it was a parade given by LETTER TO C, OF G. MEMBERS!

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, i921 PRAISE FOR A. P. President Harding, in Letter, Lauds Lofty Principles. Message Head at Luncheon of Publishers in 'ew York. DAVIS MAKES AH ADDRESS Former Ambassador to Eng land Jiow General Counsel. Associated Press Chiefs Pledge Loyalty to Administration. New York. April 25. A letter from President Harding bespeaking a con tinuance of the lofty motives that In spired American newspapers during the war was read today at the annual luncheon of the Associated Tress at jority vote and that diplomatic and consular agents be compensated ade quately. No Time for Pessimism. In beginning his remarks Mr. Noyes sounded an optimistic note saying: "It is in a troubled world that we meet today, but least of all is It a time for us to indulge, in pessimism. "The rising sun as it reaches in its turn each vexed and burdened coun try on this vexed and burdened globe, is still a rising sun and we hope and believe that each sunrise will find a world a little more tranquil, a little more at rest. "It would be hard to assemble a gathering more diverse in its political or economic beliefs than in our meet ing today, i I believe tho. and I take it as a sign of great hopefulness that every one here desires that, forgetting past dissensions, his nation thru its leaders should do its best possible for our in dividual citizenship, for our country, for our allies and for the whole world, and broadly speaking, what is good for one, will be good for al!. "It seems to me that the people of the United States are singularly united in cordial support of our president in full confidence that he will find the right path for us to follow in this world-wide welter of confusion. "Heavy indeed are the burdens that he will bear, tangled indeed are the the Waldorf Astoria. Reerettine that he could not yield problems that he faces. to the temptation to play truant and!

Only Toast to Harding. Frank B. Noyes. president of the A. P., in behalf of the gathering pledged support and sympathy to ."resident Harding in the great tasks he is con fronting and gave the only toast of fered on these oecasins:s "The pres ident of the United States." The guest of honor at the luncheon, which was held in connection with the annual meeting, was John W. Davis, formerly ambassador to Great Britain, who. made his first appearance before the members as general counsel for th-t Associated Press. Remarking that editorial comment was secondary to the news column in influence upon public opinion he con gratulated the Associated Press "be cause by the general verdict of man kind it has performed its duty with out bias, withous prejudice and with out partisanship and in an earnest pursuit of the truth where it might be jfound.' In connection with remarks on for eign policy, he suggested that the con stitutional requirements of a two- thirds vote in the senate to ratify a! treaty be abrogated in favor of a .ma- I Ixttcr From President. The following letter from President Harding was read; t "Iear Mr. Noyes: "1 wouhl be very grateful if on the occasion of the annual luncheon of the Associated Press, you would express to the pothering' my great regret that public encashments make it impossible for me to accept the invitation to be present. The opportunity to meet so pleasantly a company of fellow news paper men such as will there be gath ered, presents a real temptation to play truant and join you; but it seems quite impossible. "As a newspaper publisher I am dis posed to arrogate to myself a bit of special qualification to judge the serv ice that the journalistic pivss has ren dered to our country in the difficult period thru which we have passed and which is not yet ended- I know how earnestly and effectively the press tried to hold up the hands of all who were carrying forward our nation's activities during the war. On the other hand, iny service in public life gave me some special insight into the relntions be tween the government and the instru mentalities of publicity. No more un qualified intelligent and patriotic serv ice was rendered to the nation and the great cause than that so freely given by the newspapers. Looking back upon it as one of the chief assets on the sldo of the national morals, I can not but bespeak a continuance of the Children Cry for Fletcher's mm .The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signa ture of Clias. 11.

"The world and our own nation have yet manifold onerous problems to solve and burdens to bear. 1 know that among: those entrusted with national administration there is the ardent wish to service with whatever of ability we j may possess, and without any reserva- tious in behalf of partisanship or per- j sonal interests. Nothing would give me more assurance at this time than to' know that the new administration would be able to deserve and retain the lavish measure of good will and con fidence that has been accorded to it thus far. Mutual tolerance and mod eration will, I am sure, be amply repaid in Accomplishment for the good of the country we iili love and wish to prosper. "Most sincerely vours, WAR KEN U. HARDING." Introducing the guest of honor. Mr. Noyes said: Introduces Sew General Counsel, "When this organization "was in the process of formation those who -were responsible for planning it sought the advice of many great legal minds, but as our chief adviser, selected Mr. Frederick B. Jennings. "Thru all the years since then until his death last year, Mr. Jennings was our trusted general counsel. To find a successor for Mr. Jen nings was not easy. Our legal path way is not strewn with flowers, tho I glad to say that our legal ner- plexities are not often those of a de fendant. On the contrary, we have been engaged in blazing new paths in search of elemental justice in estab- usnmg our rights to the fruit of our labor and expenditure our property right in the news we jointly collect. loose to whom the direction of your affairs is entrusted were unani mous in their desire to have one man take up the work of Mr. Jennings, and within the last few days he has agreed to become our general counsel. "That he is a great lawyer goes without saying; that he is a great diplomat also goes without saying. That he will be a wise and prudent adviser we are sure. "He has served his apprenticeship in such minor tasks as congress man, as solicitor general of the United States and as ambassador to the court of St. James, and now en ters upon his real life work. I intro duce to you the Hon. John W. Davis, general counsel of the Associated Press. Vnusnal Opportunities. The Hon. John W. Davis spoke as follows: "I am flattered by this invitation to address you. Notwithstanding the fact that I have received from the generous hand of your general man-' ager your annual reports for the years from 1900 to 1920, inclusive, two thick volumes alleged to contain all the law you have enacted for yourselves or persuaded others to enact for you, and sundry articles from the pen of the general manager himself all of which, for the purposes of the present argument I ask you to assume that I have read with minute and exhaustive care notwithstanding all this, thiere is still much concerning' your activi ties which It will be my pleasure to study and to learn. And yet one would confress himself ignorant past all hope if he had not some acquaint ance with the Associated Press and its work, for verily there is no speech nor language where your voice is not heard; your line has gone thru all the earth ana your words to the ends or the world. Day unto day you utter speech, and night unto night you show knowledge. Yours are trie eyes of Argus, and into your ears are breath ed the secrets or princes ana peasants, of prophets, priests and kings. Carry ing the classical figure a step further, yours is the voice of Stentor at whose sound the earth itself trembles. 'Manifestly, such an endowment provides opportunities not enloyed by ordinary mortals, and equal and cor relative responsibility for their proper use. It is the rubbing of your lamps that calls out of the void that great there neither can be nor will be any and powerful genie whom w; call pub-j return to normal conditions of trade lie opinion, lord and master in this and commerce, and no permanent re- democratic age of the lives and des- j turn to international peace. The sec- ona is nussia, wneie io,uuv,vvu Dle. occupying some of the most fertile areas of the globe, are slowly sinking under the weight of despotism into political and social anarchy. It is a catastrophic process which outside interference is power less to affecj, but whose world-wide results cannot be computed. The third undoubtedly is America, whose attitude toward the problems that have followed the ending of the great tinies of men. Whether he comes as a benevolent despot or as a blind and destructive tyrant depends primarily I had almost said entirety upon the press. The newspaper is the great educative institution oeiore wnicn even colleges and .universities must bow, and the immeasurable company of your readers are the voters whose education is imperative if self-govern- ent is to survive. Upon the infor mation you give us we must order our lives. Nor does it detract rrom me devoted labors of editorial sanctums r worm war awaits anuuuun oiluu lu to say that their considered comment, years and a half have passed since the I could not more sincerely urge him to do so. The average salary, I am told, puid to officers of career in the diplomatic service is $1,892. For this they are expected to abandon all pri vate pursuits and to maintain them selves abroad under circumstances an intolerable v.. ...;JO,rai, ls j ccin impossioie. ll we are to nuiu niee men, as we must hold them, three things seem to me to be imperative. First, adequate compensation and maintenance for themselves and their 1 families so that they may work in con tentment: second, a retirement system which will relieve them from the fear of a useless and dependent old age; and third, a reasonable possibility of promotion for merit to the highest great as its influence may be, is sec- guns were stilled. What that attitude j posts so that each man may go hope ondary in its influence upon public opinion to the news column. The- de cisive factor is the kind, quality, quan tity and form of the facts which are fed into the public mind in the guise of news. To be the purveyor of so vital a commodity is a very great and a very solemn responsibility. I con gratulate the Associated Press be. cause, by the general verdict of man kind, it has performed tnis auty witn out bias, without prejudice and with out partisanship, and i in an earnest pursuit of the truth where it might be found. Or. this rests the general re spect and public confidence which the Associated Press enjoys "It takes an experience In public life to drive home the vital connection between governmental policy and the daily news.

Look to tine Future. 'Please understand that I have no desire either to suggest or introduce any controversial question which might disturb the prevailing harmony of this harmonious gathering. Least of ail do I desire to rake over the thinking entirely in terms of the future. But the spectacle of a great nation, unable in a time of real crisis to fake decisive action, and powerless because of divided counsels to move either forward or back, is one which snouja give us looa ror serious thought.

"Naturally, in view of past and present events. I am thinking at the moment in terms of the foreign rela tionships of the United Staes. To a large and increasing extent these lie in the keeping of the daily press.. His tow. I think, will show that occasions are rare when those in charge of for eign relationships can blaze out an independent path. In the words of Lincoln, thev do not control events but are controlled by them, and they must adopt their course to events as tney unroll and to the public opinion of those whom they are called upon to serve. If this opinion is fed with dis torted facts, unworthy suspicions or alarming rumors; if every careless ut terance by thoughtful and insignifi cant men is to be given prominence in print; if every casual difference of view is to be magnified into a crisis, sober judgment and deliberate action become impossible. It is far easier, as most of us know, to raise a storm than to quell it. "It is ea good omen that American newspapers unquestionably are giving more space to foreign news than in former times, and much more space nroDortionatelv than are their foreign colleagues. Perhaps at no time in our previous history was it more necessary that we should accurately know and understand what is passing in the rest of the world. This is neither the time nor the place Cor any discourse on American foreign policy. Certainly those on whose shoulders the burden rests are entitled to every opportunity to fully, like Napoleon's soldiers, feeling that lie has a marshal s baton in his knapsack. And behind them we must station at all times a state department, adequately and completely manned to digest and act on the information, it receives. Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles, and we shall not reap a harvest in foreign fields unless we are willing to pay the cost of sowing. We should either sup port our foreign service which is but simple justice or abandon it which would be criminal folly.

NEARLY all people as they' advance in age suffer from chronic constipa tion. Many, however, are indifferent to the laxative they use, on the theory that "they are all alike." That is a great mistake. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for ex ample, is a mild, gentle liquid laxative, and it does not lose its effect with re peated use. It so trains the bowel muscles that in time medicines of all kinds can be dispensed with. A sixty-cent bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will last many months. The prescription was written thirty years ago by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, a well known family doctor, who is himself now in his 82nd year and can ap preciate what chronic constipation must mean to elderly people; now it brings on headaches, colds, loss of ap petite and sleep, heaviness and a general dull feeling. Every home that has an elderly man or woman should be provided with a bottle of Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin. Eight million bottles were bought at drug stores last year. It is a truly wonderful constipation remedy. yy 1J TRY IT FREE Send me your name and ad dress and I wiU send you a free trial bottle of my Svrup Pepsin Address me Dr. W. B.

"This leads me to say a word on a subject which lies very near my heart, and in which I can no longer be sus pected of a personal Interest. I think you will agree that no matter how diligent or faithful the agents of the Associated Press, may be, or how many are the outposts from which they watch the passage of events, the gov ernment cannot act upon newspaper report alone. It must have its own staff of trained correspondents and agents. Notwithstanding an opinion which seems to have prevailed, tne diplomatic and consular service is not and never was a merely ornamental oranch of the eovernment. On the contrary, it ls our first line of defense. The trenches, therefore, should be manned with troops who are both well-trained and, what is equally im portant, well-equipped and well-fed. They should not be required while they are in service to forage on the country or to act as their own com missaries. Nothing is less democratic in our democratic country than our refusal to compensate those who serve us. The nation has the right to the services of all her sons, rich and poor aliVe Vmt he should not ask it upon terms such that none but those with private means can afford to serve. She should maintain her representatives abroad, not In luxury or ostentation, but in such manner as her own dig nity requires. The only truly demo cratic rule is that no public office should be a source of private gain: on the other hand, it should not im pose iyon the holder a personal loss. W rongs Can Not Last. "I am speakinj: not only of ambas sadors and ministers, but equally of the trained personnel of our diplo matic and consular service, without whose efficient aid no chief of mis sion can hope to discharge his duties.
