COURT HEARS RATE CASES riu-ee Kansas Electric Railroads Pre sent Evidence in District Court. Testimony and arguments in the nuits brought by three Kansas electric railroads to set aside an order of the industrial court granting rate in creases to the Kansas Gas Electric company, of Wichita, were being heard jointly by Judge George H. Whitcomb and Judge James A. Mc Clure in the first division of the dis trict court today. The suits were brought by the Ar kansas Valley lnterurban railway company, running from Newton to Wichita; the Joplin Pittsburg rail way company, and the Wichita Rail way Electric company. The new public utilities commission was sub stituted for the court of industrial re lations as defendant. The Wichita Gas Electric company supplies the three railroads with power, and was recently given permission by the industrial court to increase its rates. The rail roads claim the new rate is excessive. The plaintiffs are attacking the rate on three grounds. First, that it is in violation of the coi tracts between the railroads and the Wichita company. Second, that it is excessive and un reasonable and third, that the proceed ings in which it was granted were ir regular. RAIL MEN GET WAGE HIKE.

Kaw River at 15.15 Foot Stags and Still Rising. 1.25 INCHES OF RAIN HERE Shunganunga and Soldier Creek Are Receding Today. Santa Fe Has Trouble ar Lit tle River and Lyons. Another 1.25 inches of rain fell In Kaw River la RIMng. The Kaw river this afternoon had attained a stage of IS. 15 feet, and was still rising, but no flood damage is an- ucipatea. Traffic was stalled in Topeka when tht heaviest downpour occurred at 8 o'clock Monday night, street cars and automobiles stopped and theater-goer caught in the act of entering tha shows, or very close to the theaters. Both Soldier creek and the Shun ganunga attained the bank-full stags this morning, but started to reced during the day, without doing damage. Tho Shunanunga overflowed its banks into a corner of Ripley park, but started to recede at 9 o'clock this morning, and has been falling thruout the day. The Union Pacific and Rock Island reported trains on time today. The Union Pacific reports were meager this morning on- account of wire trouble. Heavy Rains on Santa Fe. Santa Fe track was reported washed out on the branch on which Little River and Lyons are located, but the main line is intax-t.. Tb weather reports to the Santa Fe of fices here stated that there had been rain in quantities from one to two inches in !hp tei-ritnt-v a -mi M T- 1. light showers in the southern portion pf the. state, and light rains in Mis souri. The heaviest rain reported to the offices here was 6 inches, at Meriden. Stage of 15.4 at Bonner Springs. Bonner Spring- this morning re ported a river stage of 15.4 feet, which is about two feet below the "bank full" stage. A further rise Is expected today as the rains from up the Kaw swell the stream. "I seriously question these grape vine rumors of cloudbursts." State Meteorologist S. 'r. Flora said this servers have reported anything of the sort yet. Every time we have a heavy i tint in jvaiiKiiH someone out in tne sticks measures the rainfall in a jug or a funnel or something: a creek get out of its hanks and drowns a couple of hogs, and the flood is on." The high water on the Kaw river will occur below Topeka. The river here will probably go to a stage of fourteen to seventeen feet before it starts to fall tonight. Flora believes. The "bank full stage" at Topeka Is 21 feet. From Bonner Springs down, the river will probably reach the bank full stage by tonight. The high water at Topeka is caused by the rising of creeks between Topeka and Wamepo, Flora believes. The report from Wa -mego this- morning was to the effect that the river had reached a moderate stage of 9.5 feet there, which is a rise of 4.3 feet since Monday night. No Possibility of Flood. "There is no possibility of an over flow here with no more water than that above us." Flora said. The Marais des Cygnes river at Ot tawa is running nearly bank full this morning, according to reports from there. There are not sufficient reports in Topeka to base a prediction on. Flora said, but it is possible that the river will leave its banks today. -At Ottawa this morning the rivs-r had reached a stage of 24.9 feet. SERVICE MAY BE RESTORED Public rtilitlrs Commission to Take I'p Street Railway Cose. The public utilities commission may compel the Topeka Railway company to restore service suspended under permit Issued last August. The lines affected include the West Eighth ave nue. Clay, between Tenth and Twelfth and fair grounds loop. A ninety day suspension of service was approved by the former court of industrial relations when a wage in crease was granted street railway em ployes. The lines over which service was at that time suspended have not been operated since the order was is sued. The commission has notified attorneys for the company to explain the matter at a hearing June 14. Col. Jonathan D. Norton, a West Eighth street resident, appeared be fore the city commission this morn ing, asking that the commission sup port the citizens of that district in asking the utilities commission to re store the service on that line, aban- "We can assure you that the r!t will be there with both feet to present the case," Mayor Corwine told Norton. "The street railway company waa given ninety days to resume the serv ice on that line," Norton declared t the commission. "The people want the service resumed so badly that I I have more than a thousand signatures j to petitions now before the utilities jcommisSTon asking resumption of service. People on that line are uf- fering from the lack of oar service." No New P. O. This Year. Washington. May 10.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1921 WHEAT CROP HURT Report From Bureau Bates Crop at 84 Per Cent, s Damage From High Winds and Easter Freeze, Report Says. DAMAGE NOW FROM RED RUST Damage Jxpected Unless the Weather Is Favorable. Production for This Year Es tablished at 138,659,000 Bus. High winds, lata seeding last fall to avoid fly Infestation and tne Easter freeze which killed the foliage, will result in the abandonment of eight per cent of the Kansas wheat crop at har vest time, according to estimates by Edward C. Paxton, Kansas statistician for the United States bureau of crop estimates. The crop en May 1 this year was rated at S4 per cent of nor mal as compared with 80 per cent last year. The greatest loss lies in the counties -west and southwest of Salina, In the heart tf the wheat belt. Losses rang ing front eleven to fifty-five per cent are recorded in these counties. The plant laeks in strength and vigor thru out the north and north central coun ties and the stand is badly thinned due te the continuous spring freezes. This Indicates increasing weediness and difficulties in harvesting. Danger from Red Rust. Red rust now threatens greater danger than the green bug or Hessian fly. If weather conditions are adverse, it may prove serious as harvest ad vances. In the southeastern part of the state, the wheat is suffering from too much moisture. The condition May 1 indicated a possible production of 138, 059,000 bushels on 9,710.000 acres to be har vested, aa compared with a producj tion cf 136,844.080 bushels en 8,886, 000 acres last year. Meadows 80 Per Cent NormnL Kansas meadows were in 80 per cit normal condition May 1 as com pared with 88 per cent last year, and a five per cent reduction in tame hay and four per cent reduction in wild hay is forecast. However, it is esti mated that 19 per cent, or 891,000 tons of last year's crop remain on hands.- Mortallty of livestock in Kansas for the year ending May 1, 1921, is esti mated as follows, per thousand head: Horses and mules from disease, 14; cattle from disease, 18; cattle froii ex posure, 7; sheep from disease and ex posure, 28; lambs from disease and exposure. 33; swine from disease,35.

I was a terrible sufferer from gases in the stomach and colic attacks. The specialist, our family doctor sent me to in Philadelphia, gave me no re lief, although I took his medicine till the cows came home. He finally said I would have to be operated on. Luckily I heard of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy then, and although it is now three vears since I took a course of it, I have never had a symptom of my old trouble since."

Serious displacements or radical changes have not yet taken place. A tiny part in a fine clock may become loose and cause the clock to gain or lose. If not attended to in time, the part may fall from its place and cause serious trouble. So it is with women's ailments, they start from simple causes but if allowed to continue, produce serious conditions. When the warning symptoms are first noted, take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve the present trouble some ailment, and to prevent the development of serious trouble. TTutchinson, Kan. "I vr&s about X A North Troy, X. Y. "When I was a young' girl I had a severe female trouble. Mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and after taking several bottles I was strong and well.

Unless Germany give a favorable answer to the ultimatum issued by the allies it seems probable that at the end of this iveek the allied armies will resume their march to Berlin, inter rupted in Novemb. r. 1918. In the mtantime serious trouble has devel oped in Poland. If the plebiscite, held at the direction of the allies, had gone Poland's way probably all would have been peaceful today in Silesia. But the inhabitants of that region did not vote as they were expected to do, so the Poles refuse to abide by the re sults. Late reports indicate that the Germans are taking a hand in the dis turbance and have fired on French troops. This tends to aggravate an already bad situation. Germany al ready has lost much territory. She naturally objects to losing any that has been conceded to her by the allies. The European nations which were vic torious in the Great War and are at tempting to regulate the affairs of the continent are making a sad mess of it. Trobably the outcome will be that they will fall out among themselves. FACING THE INEVITABLE. Probably there is only one expecta tion regarding the forthcoming action of the railroad labor board. Wages will be reduced. Wages are coming down, not be cause, as certain agitators claim, there is a conspiracy of employers to reduce them. Few employers would object to continued payment of high wages if market conditions and the efficiency ..r labor would permit it. They can not, however, keep up the extreme rates of the past few years, for busi ness and profits have seriously de clined. They must either lessen the pay of their helpers, curtail operations or shut down altogether. Readjustments of wages would be much easier If wage earners could be made to realize they themselves are the victims of high cost of produc tion and transportation to the same extent as are all other consumers. Thi3 is readily understood by the t'.ioughtful working man, and he con cedes the necessity and the principle involved. Nnd that employer is wise who is careful not to proceed farther in this direction than he Is obliged to do, nnd who will place reductions on a reasonable basis. Doing that, he will serve himself as well as the men he hires. There will be a better feeling all around, and more efficient co-operation If no attempt be made to take undue advantage of a greatly changed situation. Fortunately, this idea of the em ployer's attitude is very generally be ing acted upon. Moderation prevails in the majority of instances. Arbi trary and summary cuts in remunera tion are not practiced, and the appeal is being made to the reason and com mon-sense of those employed. This sort of appeal is being met in many instances with a sensible and satisfac- tory response. Fair play on the one hand gives rise to fairness of disposi tion on the other. Every such exam pie increases the momentum of the circumstances which are bringing the country back to normalcy. A story writer in Leslie's draws a true picture of the situation, when he makes an employer say to a delegation of his employes who were asking for a sis hour day: "If you boys work six Hours a day, that cuts production. I've got to put on a bigger force to get the same amount of stuff out, or else I've got to work all of you overtime and increase production costs. "Then I have to add something to the price of every product of the fac tory because manufacturing costs have gone up. The Jobber who buys the stuff will pass the increase along to the retail distributer. He'll not lose any money, so he'll sock up his price to where he thinks it ought to be. The consumer pays the bill. What you boys don't seem to understand la that this sort of thing Is contagious. "So long as other factories go on this long-pay and short-hour schedule it cuts their production and raises their costs Just that much. You fel lows will be the goats after all because you will buy the stuff that's -made In some other plant, run under the same conditions." THE X7NEVEN PRICE SLUMP. Much of the agitation In favor of an early reduction in freight rates has taken the form of calling attention to the low prices obtained by growers of vegetables and other farm produce, and the high prices which It is neces sary to charge the city consumer on account of increased freight rates. In stances have been cited to the effect that shippers of garden truck from California and the south have received returns from their commission mer chants, which did not give them even enough to pay the freight bills on the consignments. Grain dealers assert that it costs more to ship a carload of corn to Mexico than they pay the pro ducer for It. Yet the railroads are making no money. Neither is the farmer. One reason that the railroads are making no money may be seen in the fact that a large part of the plant is not working. There are too many idle cars, which should be in service. They could be placed in service by a low ering of freight rates. One of the great woolen manufac turing concerns for a time took the stand that there would be no demand no matter what prices it quoted. Con sequently it refused to cut quotations on its goods and found shutdowns the only recourse. Later it reversed this policy. It cut wages, opened its mills and greatly reduced its selling prices. It filled its order books in a short time and its mills are now running prac tically on full time. The steel Industry furnishes another example. Notwithstanding the enor mous potential demand for steel products the leaders of the industry have taken the stand that lower prices would not bring in larger orders. This position has been maintained in the face of the known requirements of the railroads along numerous lines, the shortage of buildings and numerous construction plans that have been held in abeyance owing to high costs. As a result of this attitude the production of the steel industry has been on a ba sis of 30 to 40 per cent. The United States Steel corporation recently an nounced a cut in prices and Its mills soon may be expected to be operating at somewhere near normal capacity. Labor is complaining that a "cap italistic combine" has been trying to reduce Its wages, 'it has no more to complain about than the capitalistic combines that find that the commun ity will not buy from them until they cut prices. The latter have no one to blame but themselves, and the same may be said of labor. The consumers have had their buying power cut so that they cannot pay the high prices which are the Joint result of high wages and big profits. The farmer with his hogs, cattle, wheat, corn, oats and cotton back to pre-war levels can not exchange his products on a basis which will permit him to pay war prices. The same is true of numerous other classes of producers. If labor wants to reduce unemploy ment and capital wants to get its indus tries back on full time, both wages and prices must come down. It is useless to attempt to resist readjust ment. Following quickly upon his declara tion that America would remain aloof from European entanglements. Presi dent Harding has accepted the invi tation of the allied supreme council that the United States be represented at the meetings of that body, as well as those of the council of ambassa dors and the reparations commission. This merely shows how the best inten tions may be upset by unforeseen cir cumstances. Perhaps In time the public will be let In on the reasons for the administration's altered atti tude. Is it oil again? Oil is said to have caused a number of distin guished senators to reverse themselves on the Colombian treaty. The taxpay ers may be excused for hoping that our re-entry Into European affairs will not prove so expenstve as has our surrender to the demands of the South American republic. Mean while, If we are represented in the al lied councils and commissions, it may be expected that we will have some thing to say, and having spoken we must be prepared to back up our words. The postofflce department got into such a state during the eight years of Burlesonlsm that Postmaster General Hays has found that it requires some thing more than revised office meth ods to get out of the rut. Last year. thirty-three robberies brought a loss of 16,204,000 to mail In transit, of which only $3,030,000 was recovered. There were $0,000 complaints of loss of mail in Chicago alone in the past year. Mr. Hays's way of meeting the emergency is to obtain. 18,000 revol vers, several hundred riot guns, and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition from the war department for the arming of all essential employes. So far no oro- vislon for drilling the postal employes in marksmanship appears to have been made. Ths retirement of A. Mitchell Palmer from the office of attorney general in March enabled the country to pass May Day without hair raising stories of anarchist plots. Not a bomb was found. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASILIN", Director, Washington, D. C. DISARMING A NATION. Washington, D. C, May 7. A meas ure which would make it difficult for any citizen of the United States to ob tain a revolver or pistol without breaking the law is now proposed by Senator Shields of Tennessee as a remedy for the crime wave. It is agreed by all that something must be done. The country is over run by armed thugs who shoot down a few citizens every day, take their cash and Jewelry, and escape in four-thousand-dollar cars which they have stolen from other citizens without much trouble. Senator Shields believes that the way to remedy this situation is to make it as difficult as possible for any one to obtain a revolver, pistol or other firearm small enough to be concealed about the person, and he has introduced a bill which is to ac complish this by barring such arms from interstate commerce. The stated purpose of the bill is to "suppress the sale of pistols, revolvers" et cetera that is, to make it as difficult as pos sible for any one, criminal or other wise to obtain such an arm. This bill has provoked sharp dis cussion. Many legislators favor it. On the other hand, students of the crime problem say that it will be wholly ineffective. Some critics of the measure say that it is typical of a whole school of legislation in this country, designed to suppress vice and crime, and which has the opposite ef fect. Senator Shields says that his meas ure is modeled after the prohibition law. Prohibition, he says, was inef fective as a state or local measure as long as liquor could be manufactured in neighboring states and shipped into dry territory. In like manner, he says, the efforts of police to control the sale of firearms in a given city are futile as long as any criminal can send away and get a revolver by mail or express. His opponents say that his whole theory is unsound. They agree with him that his law is of exactly the same type as the prohibition law, and they assert that, while prohibition has reduced the consumption of alcohol, which may be a good thins, it has not prevented any man who really wants alcohol from getting it. He can get it from bootleggers. Furthermore, here in Washington, one of the most order ly of cities, he can buy a slightly medicated port wine containing 18 per cent of alcohol at many small stores, and he can buy all the ma terials for making home brew at sev eral places, together with all direc tions for the making. The effect of this law. they contend, has been to restrict the consumption by making it inconvenient to obtain .alcoholic bev erages, but it has not made it impos sible for the man witn an aonorraai alcoholic thirst to satisfy it. Will Not Affect Criminals. In like manner, they say, the gun prohibition law will greatly reduce the number of persons owning weapons by making it difficult to obtain them, but it will never prevent the man who really needs One from getting it. There will inevitably be bootlegging in guns, just as there is now bootlegging in whisky. A whole new class of criminals who engage in this traffic will be created, just as liquor prohibi tion has created a class of criminals. And the taxpayer will be Baddled with another burden of expense to enforce this law. It will disarm the peaceable citizen, but it will never prevent the criminal, who needs the gun in his business, from getting one. He is used to getting things by theft and craft. He is well acquainted in the underworld. He will get a gun under gun prohibition just as easily as he gets liquor under liquor prohibition. The law-abiding citizen will be dis armed by such legislation, but not the professional gunman. Take, for example, they say, a group of 100 citizens. Perhaps fifty or more of these never thought of owning a gun. Perhaps about thirty of them have purchased guns which thev keep in bureau drawers for personal pro tection. Many a burglar and high wayman has been foiled by an armed citizen. The keeping of arms in the house for self-protection is a recog nized and valuable aid in the suppres sion of crime. If there were a loadec revolver in every bedroom in the coun try, with a person who had been prop erly trained in the use of it. burglary would be greatly discouraged. In this 100 men there are perhaps ten whoOwn revolvers as means of recreation. They are members of target-shooting clubs which encourage civilian practice with small arms, or they are men who make camping trips in wTild country and carry side arms with them. How It Would Work. Not more than three, probably, of this 100 men are criminals. Now the effect of a law like the Shields bill, say its opponents, is to disarm this entire 100 men in the hope of disarm ing the three criminal members. The thirty who would otherwise buy re volvers for self-defense will be dis couraged from doing so by the ex pense and risk of prosecution. Then men who use their weapons as means of recreation, and who are valuable for their skill in case of war, .will be more reluctant to give up, but they too are law-abiding men and do not like to follow a hobby which involves contempt of law. The only men of the hundred who will completely and gladly disregard the law are the three criminals. They habitually disregard law anyway. They are experts In breaking it. Their lives depend upon the ownership of guns. It is almost certain that they will succeed in obtaining them. And they will be the bolder In the use of them by reason of knowing that their Intended victims have been disarmed. These men argue that the way to prevent the abuse of any privilege or right is not to take it away from ev erybody, but to take it away from the man who abuses it not to deprive the ninety-seven law-abiding citizens of their rights, but to make it hot for the three crooks. This is not being done, they say. Our police systems have come in for so much criticism lately that It is hardly necessary to repeat any of It. Unsolved murder and theft mysteries are the order of the day. Our criminal law is a notorious farce. The state ment is made by high authorities that a man Is seldom convicted of murder in this country If he has plenty of money or a political pull. The way to stop murder Is to catch and punish the murderers, and the way to dis arm criminals Is to catch them and take their arms away from them. argue these opponents of the prohibl torv principle. If there is to be any federal leeis- lation bearing on the crime wave, these men say. It should have for its purpose the creation of a federal po- lice bureau. This is badly needed to act as a clearing house for informa tion about criminals, to raise the standards of police work in America and to study European police methods with a view to introducing them in this country. Dorothy Dix Talks BY DOROTHY DXX. World's Highest Paid Woman Writer. Don't Walt 1. I have a letter from a girl who writes: "I am engaged o a man who makes a comfortable living, but he is very proud, and he does not want to marry untiL he can give me a fine house, and a car, and expensive clothes. I do not want to wait. I love him well enough to work for him and endure poverty with him. I can't ask him to marry me right way, when he wants to put the wedding off. Won't you please do it for me?" Certainly, my dear. Haste to the wedding. Mr. Man. The time to sit down to the banquet is whenlhe feast is piping hot, not after everything has grown lukewarm and flabby and has lost its flavor. You do not realize it now, but nothing grows stale sooner thai, romantic love. Somehow a long engagement loses its pep and ginger, and when it does even tually end in wedding bells, they are not the airy, fairy bells of dreamland; but the prosaic dinner bell. You may ask how a love that gets its bloom worn off during a few years of a betrothal, will endure the long, long years of matrimony. The two things are entirely different. The glory of an engagement is its illusions, but the blessedness of marriage is that it hasn't any illusions, that it knows you for what you are, and, in spite of it, loves you still Of course, no man has any right to marry a woman, no matter whether he is young or old, if he hasn t some good, reliable way of providing her with bread and butter and a shelter. It is a criminal thing for a man to es tablish a family and bring children into the world whom other people have to support, but it is not neces sary for him to wait until he can pro vide his household with cake and limousines before he takes unto him self a wife. Many men make this mistake. They put off marrying- until they accumu late fortunes. Sometimes this is a matter of personal selfishness. Their own individual ease and comfort look better to them than any woman does. They are not willing to give up their good clothes, their Country club, their theaters, their amusements, as they would have to do if the money that enables one to live in luxury had to be spread over the expenses of a nfamily. Often, however, a man puts off marrying until he is middle arred be cause he loves a woman too weJl to ask her to face poverty with him. Pie is not willing to take her from her father's comfortable home to a humble one. He cannot bear to think of her going shabby for his sake, or of her soft, white hands growing hard and calloused working for him. So he lets the love time of life go by, for romantic love belongs as ex clusively to youth as apple blooms do to spring. A middle aged man and woman feel for each other a deep, peaceful, congenial friendship, but that is all. Not for them are the glory and the thrill, and the circling wings of romance. They are the sole prerog ative of youth,-and to miss thertr is-1 have missed the one divine draught of life.

Sam Johnson opened the door of the room which he shared with his class mate, Tom Fitch, to find the latter still at loggerheads with their mutual chum, Chris Hatch, over those verita ble Wandering Jew topics of discus sion, the tariff and taxes. So had Sam left them three h6urs before, when he departed the university precincts to pay a much dreaded call upon a cousin of his mother. The cousin, Sam had lucidly explained, taught "something or other" in the neighboring city, and lived at Hempstead House, "some sort of an endowed hostelry for girl stu dents." "Whew!" Sam threw his six feet of stature onto the couch and elabor ately mopped his forehead with a purple bordered handkerchif. "Whew! Eight hundred of them under one roof! Whew!" "Eight hundred what?" Inquired Tom. irritable at being interrupted in the midst of an involved argument. "Girls!" came the reply from the couch. "Girls! Short girls, tall girls, blonde girls, brunette girls, thin girls, fat girls, girls with short hair and long skirts, girls with long hair and short skirts, young girls, old girls, girls by courtesy, blue eyed, black eyed, knock kneed, bowlegged, cross-eyed every thing hut tongue-tied! Girls! Girls! GIRLS!" 'I wonder now." commented Tom, switched into his favorite thought track for he aimed at becoming a government statistician "what the percentage of fat ones would be among that number and thin ones! And as to names, ""how many Marys and "Speaking of Marys," Interrupted Sam Johnson, sitting up and looking at Chris Hatch curiously, I met one tonight, Mary Brown. She said she knows you, Chris, and wanted me to ask you to come and see her." Christopher Hatch said nothing; he never did have anything to say con cerning girls. Because he never men tioned knowing one or ever having known one he was dubbed glrl-shy. Now he gazed straight before him at something which the room did not contain, then abruptly attempted to take up the argument where Sam's en trance had disturbed it. But Sam. impelled by some perverse impulse, blocked him. "Xou haven't the nerve to go there and call on that girl, Chris. Why not be a sport and own up to it? Bet you bet you my autographed copy of 'Oliver Twist you haven't the courage to enter that apartment lair of the deadly sex and drag forth said Mary Brown to our next informal dance!" That Chris was intense In his ad miration of Dickens, as he was in all things, Sam well knew; and he knew what a delight it would be to him to own that autographed volume. But he couldn't know what was going on right then in Chris's mind regarding a girl named Mary Brown how he came to the decision that, as that girl had helped take from him the person he loved most in the world, as he be lieved she had, he had a right to use her to acquire something he coveted. "I'll take j(OU up on that," Chris said. "Sam," said Tom Fitch after Chris had departed, "I wish you hadn't egged Chris into calling on that girl. Brown was the name of the woman his father married, and -there was a daughter. Chris hates them; hasn't had anything to do with his old man since." "Whew!' said Sam. "But it can't be the same one, Tom. She was a big chemical blonde!" When Chris Hatch stepped into the lobby of Hempstead House it was 8 o'clock and tho time of the evening mail distribution. The place was full of fluttering feminity. Tes, Miss Mary Brown was in and would see him. Chris subsided into the nearest chair, and, placing his soft hat upon his stick, solemnly twirled It around and around, intently watching it the while. Then a voice said: "Why, Mr. Hatch! This is a pleas ant surprise!" Standingbefore him was a slight girl whoso flaxen hair was brushed straight back- into a soft bob at the back of her neck and whose blue eyes did not quite voice the pleasure her words had expressed. The opening speech Chris had so carefully prepared crawled into some hidden corner of his brain and mocked him. On all sides bright eyes ap praised him; ears, from their coverts of hair, listened. "There's a good picture at the Em pire," he blurted. "Would you like to go?" "I'll be ready in a jiffy." The girl's voice betrayed amusement. AH at once and for the first time she under stood this tall solemn young man he was bashful, woman-shy and that was what caused all the misapprehen sions! Chris' emotions that evening were mixed pickles, sweet and sour. After all. she was such a little thing, this girl, and so pretty he hadn't remem bered how pretty she was it would only be the decent thing if he took a protective interest in her. Then again no he'd be dinged if he would! He'd u?e her to win that bet and that would be the end of it. It was what she de served! It happened on the day following the making of the bet that Sam John son contracted a cold which grew worse and developed into pneumonia. Meantime Chris brought Mary Brown to the semi-weekly dance at the f rat house where the three friends lived. Chris did not dance, but the girl did. and made quite a hit. Immediately upon his return from seeing her safe ly back to the city, Chris went to Sam's bookcase and took therefrom the autographed copy of "Oliver Tyist." The story of the wager had gotten about, but the real interest came when Chris appeared at the next "informal" with the girl, and It was reported that they had been seen together several times in the city. Chris beauing a girt around was irresistible, but when they tried to jolly him he shut up like a clam and would have nothing at all to say about her. Wrhen Sam was convalescing Tom, who was the first one allowed to see him, related how the affair of the bet had developed. "I can't understand it!" exclaimed Sam. "Chris who always hated shams even worse than girls to take up with a chemical blonde!" "You're wrong about her hair, I'm sure; 111 say that much, Chris." Tom was emphatic. "I'll bet you began the patient. hut here the nurse summarily sent Tom away. It was the third dance to which Chris had brought Miss Brown and the first Sam had attended since the wager. Coming down the stairs rather late, when the dancing was in full swing in the big living room, he spied Chris- girl-shy Chris with an arm close around a slight figure and a flaxen head snuggled in seeming con tent into the hollow of his shoulder! Firs minutes later Sam cornered Tom Fitch and- drew him out of ear shot of the crowd. "Who is the girl with Chlrs?" he asked excitedly. "Why, that's Mary Brown, the one you brought the message from," an swered Tom impatiently. "Did you know that she's Chris's stepsister? And that he's made up with his dad and is going to marry her?" "Whew!" exclaimed Sam, yet more excitedly. "Whew! Why that's not the Mary Brown I met at all. I never saw this one before. World seems full of Mary Browns. What do you make of it, Tom?" After a moment of acute concen tration Tom brought forth trium phantly, "Statistics! By Jove, that's the answer! Among 800 girls there's bound to he more than one of the same name. He got the wrong Mary Brown!"- (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE REVOLT OF VERA SANDERSON BY JANE PHELPS A PLiE AS CKABIiE EVENING. Chapter 14. We had a very jolly dinner and a delightful timo altogether. The mo tion picture was good, and then Keith took us home in a taxi. It was a love ly night and we drove thru the park and along the river. Saliie was de lighted. "You don't seem a bit like an old married couple tonight," she said when Keith held my hand. "I was afraid you'd let Vera act too much married. You see, she never has been about like I have. She was always babied at home." I felt like slapping her, it was so funny. She knew as well as I did WHY I was kept in the background at home that the lack of money to dress me, and the idea that the oldest girl must be married before the younger received any attention, was the reason. "Aren't too much married are you, Ve?" Keith asked. "No indeed, as long as I am married to you!" I answered, happily. I was happy. It was such a treat to have Keith all to myself, and to act natur ally. It was only 10:30 when we reached home. Keith went into Margaret's rooms, leaving the door open. Dis tinctly I heard: "Why, Margaret dear, what has happened? What are you weeping about?" His voice full of anxiety. "I knew it would be like this when you married. I knew I would be neg lected and forgotten." I remained standing on the stairs listening, altho bailie tried to pull me on up. I used to mean something in your life, but I don't any more." "But what has happened, Marga ret?" "I have been alone all evening. If you were going out to dinner, why didn't you tell me wThere, so I could join you?" "I made no plans to go out, Mar garet. I met the- girls and Vera pro posed we take her sister to dinner. You know we left them alone while we went to the opera last night. I imagine Vera felt disappointed, so I was glad to do something for her." "I might have known Vera asked you to go without me." "Be fair. Margaret! Your name wasn't mentioned in that way. And Vera offered to telephone you so you wouldn't wait for us." "Yes. and hung up before I could ask where you were!" I heard a sound as if Keith were coming, and ran hastily to my room, almost fall ing over Sallie, who was waiting at the head of the- stairs. "Well?" she said when we were In my room. "She's crying because Keith didn't take her to dinner, the big baby!" I replied. "And trying to blame me for it." "Never mind, we had a dandy time," Sallie sal just as Keith came in looking very serious. "We never must forget to let Mar garet know where we are when we dine out. Vera, then she can join us if she likes. She feels quite hurt that she was not one of our party tonight." "Vera felt.hurt last night, Keith," Sallie broke in, "altho I know she was glad to visit with me. But she didn't say a word, even to me." "I was very sorry that Vera couldn't go to the opera you also, but that does not excuse us for tonight. It must not occur again," he turned to me. "I have explained to you. Vera, how very sensitive Margaret is, how she has al ways depended on me, and that I feel she is, equally with you, my care that her happiness depends upon me to a great extent. Now we will forget It, and go to bed. Goodnight, Sallie, I hope you will sleep well." I went with Sallie to her room, and when the door closed she exploded: "I wouldn't stand it if I were you. Vera Sanderson! I'd make Keith leave here and give me a home of my own. I don't see what you are thinking about. You'll never be happy as long as you stay never!" "I am helpless, Sallie.

There is no wallop In the newa An hour of meditation has yielded nothing by way of inspiration. Have we the permission of the readers of the col umn to spend the remainder of the afternoon arguing with a woman who thinks she takes exception to its at titude and its viewpoint, its reasoning and its philosophy Thank you! After a fa.w additional preliminary remarks we shall proceed. We have said the woman reader in question thinks she takes exception to the column. As a matter of fact, she doesn't at all. It is merely that we have been able to stir her curiosity. She doesn't quite understand it and wants to know. There are two or three fundamental tricks in column tag. One of them is to give the col umn, atmosphere. For the reader in question we have succeeded in creat ing an atmosphere of doubt and mys tery. Because of that she thinks she dislikes the column. But sheitnerely is curious about it. The argument which we shall pres ently have with her is of no im portance in itself. We engage in it for the opportunity it gives us to project certain observations. She writes: "The mere fact that the lady disappeared from a limousine seems to prejudice you against her. Might not a tragic death be just as painful for her as another? Why so often make class distinctions? You boast of being democratic, yet the fact that you are on the off side for the whole telephone book as against the social register does not alter the fact that you are always making class distinctions. Which class you are for is not the point. We have no sym pathy with the child of the rich whose chauffeur had just missed running some one down who asked, 'Do the pedestrian classes feel pain as we do?' Even altho it is reversed, your vision is quite as narrow in jmany of your jibes against the few and for the many." Of course, no child of the rich ever made any such remark. It is a good story, but an invented one. There are no fundamental differences between the children of the rich and the chil dren of the poor, except that the chil dren of the poor, being less bound by convention, are likely to have a better time. We recall a daughter of the rich who once visited in our own humble household, the little place at the cor ner of Fillmore and Huntoon streets. She was a lovely girl, clever, winsome and with a keen sense of humor. She had lived a sheltered life surrounded by every luxury. Up to the time she came to us she had never ridden in a street car. She had known only one kind of people the "right" kind. All sorts came to our house. We lived with a decent regard for the conven tions, but we -did not stress them. She came to us for four days and stayed two wTeeks. She told us when she left that she never had enjoyed a visit so much. All we did for her was to give her a glimpse of a perfectly respecta ble side of Hie or which sne had pre viously known nothing. People are alike. Fundamentally, humanity assays about the same no matter where one finds it. Most of it is stupid and a little tiresome. A great man Is one with a special talent. Aside from that particular talent, he is like ly to be commonplace and uninterest ing. We have known a reasonable number of interesting men and worn en. Two men stand out particularly in mind. One of them is a gigantic figure in Wall street, whose name will not be mentioned in the circum stances. The other was "Uncle John" Forrester. "Uncle John" homesteaded a quarter section in Chatham town ship in 1S68. "uncle John" passed on some years ago and will not object to' the publicity. He couldn't read It If he were alive he never learned to read or write. The Wall street man was born to the purple. All things considered, these two were the most interesting men we" have known. We have never boasted of being democratic. We are anything but. We have no particular Interest in that segment of humanity which describes itself and is described as the "people." We do not wish to cave it or lift it up. Select Th ait Matchle5 Steinwau cJurxe Bride Now What gift so wonderfully appropriate for tbe supreme occasion as the one Supreme Piano.

Most of the laws on the statute books are written for the benefit of the poor and for the purpose of pro tecting them from the rich. Some of the laws haven't worked very well, but their purpose is obvious to anybody, who has watched the trend of legisla tion. The law gives the poor man a tremendous advant. ge over the rich one. If a poor man. legally safeguard ed as he is. doesn't get along, that is his fault and nothing can be done about it. If he can't save himself, it isn't worth while for anybody else to try it. Taking them as they come and go. we prefer the rich to the poor. Which is to say we'd rather associate with them. On the whole, they have more sense. They are more courteous, more polite and more sanitary. They talk less foolishness. They are more agree able. There is every reason why they should be. They have both means and opportunity to accept whatever life has to offer to those who seek: what is best in it. That is their ad vantage. On the whole, we like them better than we do the poor, altho we do not wish to be restricted ,to as sociation with either class. Taken as x whole, the poor are net more honest than the rich nor more deserving. Human nature fundament ally is the same, and the lack or. pos session of wrrldly goods has nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, we trust we have dis sipated any impression that we are democratic or that we knowingly give the rich the worst of it. We merely try to be what we are. George Matthew Adams Daily Talk SAIiVATIOX TJJRU HUMILIATION". Most of us are discoverers thru our blunders. We often have contracted vision. To our enthusiasm we start with spurts only to stumble and learn that our feet have not tracked with our mind. Happily for the man or woman who stops long enough to think, the course of life may be changed early- in its day. Salvation may come tfiru humilia tion! Rebuffs, opposition, insults even -are often necessary to wake one up. Many a man has been able to look back to the time when he' was literally "kicked out" to fight his own way the best he could soon to find out that he had powers within him of which he previously was unaware. The drowning man thinks of but one thing how can I keep above water? Many a boy has learned ti swim by thinking that he might drown if he didn't. I know of a very successful man who dates his business growth from the day that he refused to be abused by his "boss." It was only after a series of insults at her very gates, by an allied group of nations, that Japan was made to break her ignorant isolation and with in fifty years to take her place amnns; the most progressive nations of tho world. Every one of us must be beaten st some time or other that we m:y rise! There are far vaster catastrophes in this world than to be humiliated and few experiences abler to work out the transformation of a man. I have an idea that Job felt hu miliated indeed with his body of boils but he heroically bore them so that "the patience of Job" has come down thru the centuries as a lesson to us all. Disraeli's first attempt at speaking in the house of commons was hooted and jeered but he came back, the peer of them all, as prime minister. The only humiliation that is dip graceful is not to be somebody not to do some one thing. Dinner Stories "Do you act toward your wife as you did before' you married her?" "Exactly.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING," MAY 10, 1921 5 In State Politics LOOK TO SECOND Amusement May Be Furnished There in "ext Campaign. Plana Being Hade to Shear Congressman E. C. Little. TOM HAHLEY MAY MAKE RAGE Senator K. V Coleman Also Mentioned for Place. Second District Shows Little Enthusiasm Over It. BT A. L. SHULTZ. Tt looks as tho the Second district t will furnish some of the amusement i in the next campaign. Plana to shear i Congressman Ed C. Little have been accepted. Tom Harley. representa tive from Douglas county, may tackle the job. If Harley fails to start, then the task may fall on Senator Rolla V. Coleman's shoulders. The little job of restoring Little to private citizenship has been in con templation for some time. In fact it was announced in January, 1917 two months after Little's election that he was to walk the plank. But Little went back to Washington after the 1918 election and won easily last No vember. Now the plan to separate Little from power and authority and voting privileges in Washington is be ins hatched again. This time it really look3 as tho something may come of it. Not Much Enthusiasm. Somehow the Second district never went stark mad with enthusiasm when Little won. -There was no wild de lirium in the demonstrations which brok-i out each time the district ratx tied tho election. But the main and important thin about the whole mat ter was the fact tiiat Little won. In o:ne way the awr'ul beating which had been stored away for Little didn't materialize. Maybe the secret of the whole thing was Little's ability to capitalize his op position. And Little is and for some time has been one of the recognized hates rf the Kansas City Star. There is a feeling in. Kansas politics that in All Mothers Will Find Use For This Laxative GWe Dr. Caldwell' Syrup Pepiin to a constipated child and note its quick recovery. IN a growing family the subject of thought with the parents is how to keep the children healthy and happy, and what to do when they become ill. Most illnesses of childhood are the symptoms of constipation, such as headaches, coated tongues, flatulence, dizziness, loss of appetite and sleep, biliousness, etc. You can surely feel safe in doing what tens of thousan ds of others do with good results, so give, according to the age of the child, a. small quantirV of Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. Eight million bottles were bought last year at drug stores. It is America's favorite family remedy for constipation, indigestion and similar ills, and is especially suitable for children, women and old folks as it is so mild and gentle in action. There is no secret about Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. It is a combination of Egyptiaa Senna and other simple laxative herbs with pepsin and pleasant tasting aroma tics. Druggists have sold it for thirty years, and a sixty cent bottle will last for months. Experienced mothers are never without it in the house. TRY IT FREE Send me your name and ad dress and I will sendyou a free trial bottle of my Syrup Pepsin, Address me Dr. W. B. Cold well 513 Washington Street, MondceUa, Illinois. Every body now and then needs a laxative, and it is well to know the best. Write me today. order to safeguard the high and worthy principles which it advocates for Kansas that the Star safe guards its policies by taking a war ranty deed to a candidate's patronage and actions some time preceding the election. Maybe it was just an oversight. But Little's name wasn't on any of the Star's collateral security. And because the Missouri paper was de voutly gunning for Little, the same Mister Little was ingeniously capital izing his opposition. To be sure that situation existed largely during the days when there was a mighty lean crop of patronage. May Distribute Plums. Now things are different. With a Republican president and congress. Little may be able to distribute sev eral plums in Kansas. His course in the matter of postoffice assignments is also important. And because of these things the old opposition to Little is beginning to sit on his neck. In the old days the days when the Democrats held the patronage swing Little told his opposition to go to the bow wows. Now so rumors from the district indicate he may become fickle and seek to flirt with his old hates. Tom Harley Mentioned. Tom Harley wants to run. He will run if Mrs. Harley's health will permit him to make the race. Senator Cole man is also listed as very probable. The big beating of the torn toms will begin soon if Little doesn't jump thru the Star's hoop. If he jumps the Missouri paper may tolerate but not forgive Little's iniquities of the past. But that is only a part of it. If Little does jump to the opposition Oh, Brethren. He will trade his old organization which carried him thru three campaigns for the tolerance of the opposition which he has hereto fore been able to beat. And if he doesn't jump the Star holds out Har ley and Coleman as the storm clouds before him for 1920. It is a fine chance for brave and courageous decision which faces Little. But he must decide. And it isn't like ly that anyone will squandor good fire crackers and sky-rockets in his behajf until his decision is made. Price Won't Hurry. Senator Francis C. Price may not give a decision regarding his guber natorial aspirations for several months. He refuses to hurry or to jump in the race as a stalking horse to beat an other candidate. On the other hand reports that the veteran Ciark county senator will not run are without au thority or foundation. Senator Price's decision will affect avlot of votes. And there are a good many people who will not get careless with their pledges until Price has publicly announced he wi!r or will not run. Walter L. Payne, former state treas urer, is the latest gubernatorial possi bility. Payne was four years treasurer. He served several years as secretary and later as president cf the Kansas Day club and is well known thruout the state. Senator Dick" Howard of Arkansai City, editor of the Arkansas City Daily Traveller, is another of the-Jate- possi bilities. Reports in Topeka are to the effect that a Howard "feeler" has been sent into a number of counties. IT'S RAZING DAY K. U. Students Take Holiday to Start Stadium Work. Chancellor Lindley, in Overalls, Leads the Way. Lawrence. Kan.. May 10. With Chancellor E. H. Lindley, clad In blue denim, guiding the plow, ground was broken here today tor the new one half million dollar athletic stadium at the University of Kansas.

The work was performed by army of men students. At noon an old-fashioned barbecue dinner was served under direction of a joint com mittee of men and women students. Included in the all-day program was a conference of representative alumni to formulate plans to extend the me morial fund campaign to alumni and former students in all parts of the state. All money so far has been sub scribed by K. U. faculty and students, and alumni and friends in Lawrence and Kansas City.

"Way IJown East" is nearly all it has been touted. As a screen production It well deserves its rauking as the bigjeest American film of the yeur. but anv who have seen both most also agree with the "big fellows" in that it is second to "Passion," tho the two are in distinctly different classes. There is nothiug stupendous about ay Down Kast." It is a tale of American life simple homelv American life that touches evey heart and is distinctly uuderstand able in every American city. "Passion was a historical drama stupendous in every particular and beautiful beyond description but a whole lot of its stuff went clear over the heads of many who flaw it. There is scarce a doubt that the popular verdict wilt be that the Griffith production is the best shown here this year. There are some things the average turn fan cannot understand and one of these is why. if practically every person who had any connection with "The Miracle Man" is now being starred, that Lillian Gish, who outdoes herself and practically everv screen actress in "Way Down East' has "been practically unheard of since the film was finished. She puts on one of the best exhibitions shown on the screen. There is not one bit of her stuff that is theatrical. It is all true, to herself, the story and the characters she carries. It is seldom any actress so completely buries herself in a part as Miss Gish has done in this case. The support is almost on par and even the "bits" are done with an eye to the general effect rather than to the possible chance of exploiting the actor or actress him or her self. It is not in mob scenes, done with thou sands of people present, it is not in pre senting the story amid wonderful settings that really confuse the eye, it is not in a bewildering array of gowns, and costumes, that Griffith has made "Way I town East" the big thing It is, but in his absolute at tention to the most minute detail. He, with the mind of the true artist haa con trasted dark with light, comedy with pathos and villainy with virtue, ever in creasing his bold strokes until at the climas he has made even the most blase of To peka movie fans "come out of their seats. On two occasions last night this was done and done in a way it had not been thought possible by the steady stage followers here. Oh yes, there are some things that one can criticise about the film. One can men tion the attempt to color bits of it. One can protest against the too thick layer or "Hokum' spread in the rural stuff. And again one can even get captious ami objecr to the way Griffith ventured on thin lee with one or two delicate subjects. One can always find something that is not Just right in even the biggtst masterpiece. The only thing that really clashed with me was the music. Never have been known for having an a atretic musical ear so this bit may be overlooked. However, the use of the brass in that aggregation or musicians, Beemed overdone to me. At times the strains, if strains they were, resembled some of that stuff 1 heard when Toscanni was here and which I could not get at all all of it bounding like discord to me. "Was it worth the price?" that is the question most of you want to know. Weil, folks, if I had paid the price I could tell better, but having laid down only the war tax, don't feel in a competent position to advise. The wife, declares, however, that that thriller where Miss Gish is saved from going over the fails on a floating cake of ice was worth more than the price, all by itself. Must admit that 1 joined the applause which followed the safe arrival of the two on the river bank. It has been years since I have clapped my hands at a movie show, too. AT THE NOVELTY ft rather mediocre bill opens the week's offerings. For the life of me could not figure out why the pair that opens, should be billed as "Aus tralian bathers." They don't even wear bathing suits. The man has two thriller stunts that got away good yesterday after noon. Dan Ahem, who can whistle, fills the interval between first and third base. The feature of the first half of the week bill is placed third. It is just a mixture as it is billed. The toe dancer ranks best of the quartette-of entertainers who make up the program for this number, but the eccentric dancer runs a close race for second honors. If It were not for the "Front of the House Close" that finishes this number it would be a mighty good thing. The best applause of yesterday afternoon came in response to the efforts of Waiman and Berry, both of whom are accomplished musicians and know how to get across the footlights with their stuff. The Weston's models, which close the bill, may or may not have been short one member of the cast but it looked mighty queer to see a woman physically perfect tho she might be, trying to pose as a Koman gladiator. AT THE ORPHET'M, there's a whole lot of good solid entertainment in "The Love Special which is supposed fn star Wallie Iteid in the role of a railroader, but which in reality makes Wallie the background for a superb bit of acting on the part of Theodore Koberts, the "Grand Old Man" of the films. One can hardly wait for Roberts to make his next apearance so good is his stuff in the role of the rail road president and father of the girl Wallie is after or is it the gjrl who is after wainer a migniy good musical program and an1 unusually interesting Pathe News reel helps make this one of the best pro grams offered the first of the week. AT THE ISIS, Lon Ohaney make his ap pearance in a new role that is almost as good as the one in which he gained his fame with Topekans. "Outside the Law" is not so enthralling a story as "The Penalty" nor is "Plack Mike" Silva sucn a fiend ns we saw in "Blizzard" but he is more human and that by the way can go for the whole picture. It is more realistic it could have happened. That "Outside the Law" is a great crook play goes with out saying. Whether or not it will become the classic of crook plays that "Alias Jimmy A'alentine" became remains to be seen. It should be the kind of thriller stuff, Topekans will 'eat up." AT THE CRYSTAL "The Stealers now showing is William Christy Cabannes powerful human document. It is a drama so tense, powerful and realistic that it is impossible to erase its story from your memory. The lesson of Faith and its dynamic virility is wonderfully illustrated in this masterpiece of the silver sheet: Man loses Faith and suffers thru his own crimes. Faith ts restored and he lives again. This picture tells a story in a most in teresting and gripping manner. Every man, wentan, and child who lives and loves should see this picture. This is a story of good, bad men and bad, good men.

hi VILL CUT TAXES Ainerioans Will Pay Govern ment $3,500,000,000. Ueuuces Per Capita Tax to $30 Per Citizen. BIG SLASH ON PROGRAM Soda and R. K. Ecises First To Be Eliminated. Ji'ew Increases Planned on To bacco and Other Luxuries. Washington, May 10. America s annual tax bill will be fixed by oon prPHS at $3, 500,000, (00 if plans of lendius members of the house ways and means committee po thru. They would like to reduce the per capita taxation to $30 for every man, woman and -child in the country, or $3,000,000,000, but with continued larser appropriations they admit it is doubtful if it can be done. Tax changes will be alonp the fol lowing lines that is u say the repeat ol' tlu following laxCM. 1. Kxcess profits, now one of the luii sources of revenue. 2. Soda water, it-e cream and some of the more "obnoxious" consumption levies. 3. Transportation taxes. Some uncertainty exists as to wheth er the1 theater admission taxes will be repealed. The new tax bill, in general, will follow these lines: 1 Reduced surtaxes on higher in conns to the maximum percentage will not he more than 40 per cent. 2. Possible lowering of normal in come tax rates from 4 to 3 per cent althu this has some opposition. 3. Increased flat corporation in come tax from 3 0 to 3 per cent, with t!ii' imposition of a levy of 1 per (f it on undistributed profits of oor pr; inns, to make up for the loss caused by repeal of the excess profits tax. It is believed this would tend to prevent issuance of stock dividends which have been held untaxable. 4. Increased tobacco taxes from 50 to 100 per cent. 5. Taxes of $6.40 a gallon on all liquors withdrawn from bond, com pared with the present rate of $2.20. Taxes on estates, insurance, lodge and club dues, child labor products; and the so-called stamp taxes, as ap-' nlied to various leeal documents and business papers, probably will remain the same.

Zaida Ben Tou-seff, former society photographer, has arrived in New Yorkfrom Eng land to offer her assistance to Mrs. James A. Stillman in the latter's di vorce case, it was learned today. She Wiame acquainted with Still man when h called at her New York studio to have his portrait made. Stillman as well as many other big Wall street financiers had several por traits made- by Miss Bon Youseff. The artist had closed her New York studio and gone to London when she learned of the divorce suit. She hur ried back to the United States. It was reported today she had a list ofnams or women wnicn she is ready to turn over to Mrs. Stillman's lawers in order to be of assistance to her. Some of the bitterness underlying the divorce suit was explained today when it was learned that Mrs. Still man when she first broke with her hustmnd had an agreement with him whereby she would go to Paris and file the action of separation. When she was about to sail aboard the Olympic, agents of the banker's at torney served her with papers showing he had instituted action in this state. Mrs. Stillman, her friends say, de nounced that action as a breach of agreement. Mrs. Stillman's lawyers today are planning another invasion of Canada to question persons who were residing near Grand Aunse. location of the Stillman farm, during the summer of 1918 when Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beauvais are alleged to have been much in each other's company. MAY MEET HALF HOUR EARLIER City Commission Considers Holding racsMiona at w vj'CIock. v A motion of importance which was considered but not made this morning at the meeting of the city commission was to the effect that commission meetings be held at 9 o'clock rather than 9:30 o'clock. Commissioner R. 13. MeUiffert had intended to make the motion, but adjournment came before he had a chance to be heard. When the mayor was away from the city recently the city commissioners held meetings at 9 o'clock and decided that with the mayor's approval the meetings would always be held at 9 o'clock. The four commissioners agreed that the 9 o'clock plan would be more satisfactory.! But since the mayor's return the motion has not come to light. Two years ago the time of commis sion meetings was changed from Mon day morning, when it had always been the custom to have the weekly meet ing to Tuesday mornings. The reason for the change was said to have been because of the profession of the may or, that of a minister. On Mondays ministers, usually need rest, it was held, and therefore Mayor Corwine should not be required to report on Mondays at 9:30 o'clock. FORTY-SIX NEW T. B.

SCHOOL ROW EXPECTED Members of Kducational Board Differ Ovor Ijenftth of Institute. Members of the old state board of education as well as newly appointed members may sit in conference today at the special meetine of the board. Members of the old board called the meeting- when Miss Lorraine E. Wooeter, state superintendent of pub lic instruction and exofficio chairman of .the board, failed to call the mem bers together. There is a bis war pending regard ing Miss Wooster's determination to hold four weeks institutes in the state this year. Practically the entire membership of the old board is de clared to be opposed to the plan. They favor the one week course and may override Miss Wooster's policy at today's session. Miss Wooster is said to be in Chicago. The board may meet at such places as it desires. It is quite prob able that the meeting will be trans ferred to an office outside Miss Woi eter's department. Members of the state board stated today that they expected to adopt a resolution permitting counties to ex ercise an option as to normal insti tute policies. Under this plan coun ties desiring four weeks' institutes will not be denied the privilege. On the other hand counties seeking a one week normal training will not be bound by arbitrary orders. TELLS OFlERCiiMS'PLANS Secretary Tabor Explains Activities of Ass'n to Square Circle Club. An outline of the trade extension campaign being put on by the Topeka Merchants' association was given Monday night by Milton Tabor, secre tary, before the meeting of the Square Circle club at the Elks' home. Tabor explained the necessity for extending the Topeka trade territory and urged the co-operation of the members of the club in bringing more business here. He also mentioned the campaign being waged by the associa tion against the bogus check artists and stated that the number of no fund checks had been reduced almost 50 per cent since the campaign started. The matter of the building of a new city jail was also discussed and the members of the club were urged to give their support to the proposed plan. A committee composed of C. E. Hubbard. Milton Tabor and J. H. Lee was appointed by the club to take up the matter of keeping the streets clean. The members of this commit tee will confer with the other civic bodies of Topeka in an effort to form a plan by which the streets, and es pecially Kansas avenue, be kept cleaner. The plan was heartily ap proved this morning by the Rotary club, thru its secretary. MORE BUTTER PRODUCED Last Year's Output Was 563,527 I Pounds More Thau in 1919. The production of creamery butter in Topeka during the fiscal year end ling March 1, 1921. exceeded last year's output by 563,627 pounds, according to the annual assessor's report issued i by Douglas Graham, county clerk. The production this year was 6,887, 635 as compared with 6.324,108 poonds the year before. There were 316.085 gallons of ice cream manu factured in Topeka during the last year, and 5.816 pounds of cottage cheese. No figures on the production of ice cream and cottage cheese in previous years are available. NO NEARER SETTLEMENT Both Sides in Printers' Strike Say "Nothing Xcn." The strike of the printing trades in Topeka seems no nearer a settlement today than on the first day of the walkout. "Nothing new," was the verdict from both striking printers and em ployers today; Progress toward a set tlement has been made in other cities. IC any arbitration is in progress in To peka, it is well concealed. Th. increasing of the strike benefit payments to the members of the Typographical union indicates that the union men regard the t strike as one probably of long duration. PLAN MORE GROUP MEETINGS C. Of C, Members Will Hold Confer ences This Week. Because only one-sixth of the mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce at tended the group meetings held last week to frame a program for the ac tivities of the organization, the meet ings are to be repeated this week. The first group, members whose names begin with the letters from A to H, is to be held tonight. The "H. to Q" members will attend Wednes day tiicht. and the "O to Z" members 1 Krinav niffht. The group meetings will be in charge of the same chairmen who pre sided at, the corresponding meetings last week. F. M. Hastings and P. A. Fairbanks will be the chairmen of the meetings tonight. SURE WAY TO GET RID OF BLACKHEADS There ia one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rftd of blackheads and that is to dissolve them. To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store sprinkle a little on a hot. wet sponge nib over the blackheads briskly wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little blackheads, no matter where they are, aim j ply dissolve and disappear, leaving the J parts without any mark whatever. Black j heads are simply a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that j form in the pores of the skin pinching and squeezing only cause irritation, make large pores, aun tto not get them out after they become bard. The calonite powder ana tne water simpiy dissolve tne Diak heads ao they wash right out, leaving the nores free and clean and in their natural -onditiou.

City, of Topeka, Shawnee County Farm Bureau, Kansas State Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture co-operating. 1 Open Shop News TOPEKA is today an open shop city as far as building trades are concerned. Mechanics are working together all ,over the city regardless of their affilia tion or non-affiliation with any organ ization. For example, Louis Van Dorp is putting the roof on the Odd Fellows building on West Sixth and union and non-union carpenters, union lathers, and other mechanics are working in the building. This is as it should be. Union mechanics are to be congratulated on their good judgment. There is now no reason for any building work to be held up. Prospective builders may go ahead with the assurance that the work will not be tie up by labor disputes.

An attack on the "widespread propaganda" fol lower 'freight rates opened the senate tnt.erAta.re commerce committee's in vestigation of the railroads today. Julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of the board of tne Southern Pacific, told the committc 3 that general deflation n4 not hi'h freight rates were re sponsible for bu&iness stagnation. He blamed this stagnation for inability of producers to dispose of their prod ucts and cna.gcd that in many cases the. middleman was responsible for lower rate agitation. R. K. Profits Are. Less. Thewitne:is proposed a series of re forms involving regulation of trans portation tyeiems competing with the railroads. t "The' fact is," Kruttschnitt said, 'that even since the rates have been advanced, the cost of transporting commodities it. far less than the toll taken by the commission merchants and. the-- retailer. -Consequently, peo ple aro misted and conclude that high rates have stopped the movement of a large amount of freight and that the railways would make more money if they would reduce rates and thereby revive traffic ""Manv commodities would not move even if the freight charges on them were abolished entirely because pro ducer can find no market," the wit ness continued, and in support of this 1 ointed oui that while ocean rates have been at their lowest point in their history. Vhips here and abroad are idle." Freight Kales Not to Blame. Kruttschnitt pointed to the case of cotton on which he said inland freight rates had advanced 244 cents per 100 pounds while ocean freight rates de clined to 45 cents per 10U pounds in March this year since August, 1920, when the rate was $1.98. Neverthe less, forty per cent of the Texas crop remains unmoveff, he saiu. j "Obviously, the freight rate is not responsible," Kruttschnitt said, "Cot ton shippers attribute it to an absence f demand, both domestic and for eign." Taking the case of lemons, the trouble was the Sicilian competition and not freight rates. The fact about rates on cantaloupes had been mis represented in the interest of the mid dleman, Kruttschnitt said. Remedies Are Proposed. As remedies for the railroad situa tion, resulting from too small reve nues, Kruttschnitt recommended: Adeqnnte rulrs anil regulation of tbe Bse of uigbwnys built wltli public money. Mukc iulaiid waterways puiy for tliem aelves by regulation and proper tolls. Kwp the government out of the ship op erating business and halt expenditures for to."it to i-uaRt oceun transportation iu com petition with tbe railroads. Tolls for the Panama cannl sufficient to pny lt cost of operation and maintenance. Do not deprive transcontinental carriers of onnt to coast traffic by inflexibility en forcing a long nd sliort haul clause. WISCONSIN IS FIRE SWEPT. come out a faded pink. In other words, a radical isn't what he used to be. A visit to the annual convention of the Industrial Workers Use of the World here today demonstrated that conclusively. For instance, none of the forty-five delegates carried T. N. T. bombs on their hips. Also, there were no print ing presses turning out seditious litera ture by the ton. No long-whiskered gentlemen, speaking in broken Kng- lish, were numbered among the dele gates. All the representatives talked the king's English and talked it mildly. Membership Main Idea. Advocates of the overthrow of the government were not present. Dele gates advocated the acquisition of ad ditional members and little else. The chief problem before the radi cals was this: "How in the world are we going to scrape up the $75,000 to reimburse the bondsmen of our nine convicted brethren who failed to ans wer the roll call at Leavenworth prison Up until the time of going to press, no answer was found to the question that is causing grave concern from Roy Brown, acting secretary-treasurer, on down. of the convention, outlined the- fol lowing platform of the I. W. W.s: The aim of the I. w. w. is to organ- every worker of each industry into one big union instead of numer ous separate unions as now exist. This would give us a better chance of treat ing with employers." Without Intellectual leadership. The I. W. W. gathering is- without 'intellectual leadership" only the rank and file are present. Delegates all frankly admit they are thru for ever with "intellectuals," most of whom were sentenced to serve from one to twenty years in Leavenworth prison for violation of the espionage act. Nine of the forty-six convicted I. W. W. skipped their bonds and failed to "dress in" at prison. Seven of these were the "intellectuals" newspaper editors. These seven assumed the leadership during the war and had the most to say the only limit of the "says" being the supply of printer's ink and print paper. It was the boys who took their teachings at heart and went out to preach the gospel on the highways and byways who donned the conventional prison stripes.

NEED H PRICE Low Schedules Won't Help Us Get Out of Pebt. Wallace Declares World Wants Separations Settlement. Washington, May 10. The whole sale issuance of tax exempt securities is one cause of high street car fares, electric light and gas rates, Phillip H. Gadsen of Philadelphia, told the sen ate finance committee today. Gadsen representing the American Electric Railway association. Ameri can Gas association, ana national Electric Light association, told the committee that public utility bonds had to carry high Interest rates to Compete with tax exempt bonds of the federal, state and city governments. This adds to costs of utility operations. Gadsen's testimony today which was part of the revenue bill hearings, is one of the many recent warnings against tax exempt securities. These warnings promise to bring about pro posals for reform which will be among the three or four most important con sidered while tax laws are being re vised. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon favors such reform, having pointed out that with $15,000,000,000 tax exempt securities outstanding, any addition will reduce the nationahrevenue. Chair man McLean of the senate banking and currency committee also favors corrective legislation and may present a constitutional amendment to allow congress to. prohibit issuance of tax free securities.

Settlement of the reparations question will have cotir siderable effect on stabilizing economic conditions in America, according to Secretary Wallace, who delivered two addresses today. The secretary spoke before the con vention of the American Agricultural Editors' association and at the dedica tion of the nef main entrance to the Missouri botanical garden. Lower rates on basic commodities and a higher price level than the pre-war i one, were recommendations made by the secretary as means of steadying' conditions, economically. "The settlement of the reparations question will be a new starting point for the world," he asserted- "It will help all nations. It will carry with it a steadying and reassuring effect economically. "It will be better for all of us if a higher scale of prices for all commodi ties prevails after readjustment than the scale 'before the war- "A 50 to 75 per cent high price level would help us to get out of debt, pro vided it is uniformly higher. I think we will likely find ourselves in a level 50 per cent higher. "We ought to have lower freight rates on basic commodities. The pres ent rates were all right for the farmer when he had $1.50 corn and hog? sell ing at $18 to $20 a hundred pounds, but with corn at 30 cants a bushel and hogs at $8, the freight rates are out of proportion." WON'T RUSH PEACE NOW President Harding Views European Situation With Alarm. Washington, May 10. President Harding is not asking for delay in the adoption by the house of a peace reso lution, it was said today in high ad ministration quarters, but because of the situation in Europe, growing out of the reparations settlement, he is not insisting that there should be any haste in putting the measure thru. It was said that at the time of the enactment of the resolution by the senate the president was asked wheth er there was any reason for delay in the adoption of the legislation there and the senate was informed that there was none. To emphasize that there was no conflict between the president and congress, however, it was stated that It was thought advisable not to inject a possible complication in the repara tions settlement between the allies and Germany by the passage of the reso lution by the house at this time.

In three of the ward schools of To peka, mo:e than 33 per cent of the pupils are-J-O per cent underweight, or more according to statistics which have been furnished to Miss Rena Faubion, of the extension division of the State Agricultural college, and Mrs. Julia Kiene, home demonstration agent for the Shawnee county farm bureau. -For this reason, the directors of the "White Drink, of Health" campaign being carried on in Topeka this week, are exerting every effort to establish a milk-feeding demonstration in the three schools referred to the Park- date, Gage Park and Grant schools.' Late today it had been impossible to make the arrangements definitely to supply, the pupils in these schools with free milk "It would be so fine if we could get those children up to the normal weight for the last six weeks of school, and the milk diet would do it," Mrs. Kiene said today. "Of course there are cases of under nourishment in all the schools of the city, but when you find one-third of the children 10 per centjjr more un derweight, it means that the condition there is really serious." In addition to the "milk, film" which is being run in the moving picture theaters this week, there will be complete movie show, free, at the Isis theater Saturday morning, for the children and their parents. Th show will include a film devoted to the ben efits of milk drinking, a comedy, and a particular feature will be a song singing, story-telling clown. Posters have been placed in all the Topeka restaurants, urging the pa trons to follow the slogan. "Drink pint of milk a day; it will keep you neaitny." Not all the Sunday schools of the city were reached Sunday, and the di rectors of the drive mean to speak next Sunday in all of those which were overlooked: WIFE CHARGES CRUELTY Mrs. Jessie Albert Asks Divorce From Harold R. Albert. A long tale of alleged -cruelty and abuse was related by Mrs. Jessie B. Albert in a petition filed by her attor neys in the district court today, ask ing a divorce from Harold R. Albert.
