ENGLISHMEN REVIVE OLD FEUD Northcliffe and Lord Curzon Haye Long; Been "at Outs." Cancellation of Dinner Invita tion Opened Up Wound. Washington, July 29. Old world politics backed the disarmament con ference oft the board today as Wash ington discussed Lord Northcliffe's latest blast against the Lloyd George administration. In a formal statement, issued from a hotel room here. Lord Northcliffe announced that his invitation to be entertained at the British embassy while in Washington had been with drawn. "Knowing the methods in India of Lord Curaton, the British foreign sec retary. Lord Northcliffe is pretty cer tain Lord Curzon had adopted those methods here," the statement said. "On the present occasion. Lord North cliffe said, Lord Curzon is not dealing with Indian natives or the owners of small Indian newspapers." Was Geddes's Personal Invite? Altho the British embassy withheld comment today, it is understood Am bassador Geddes had issued the invi tation to Lord Northcliffe personally, some months ago, and that it had been, in no sense, an invitation for Lord Northcliffe to be the guest of the British government, but the per sonal guest of the ambassador. In view of differences between Lloyd George, Lord Curzon and Lord Northcliffe, it is understood the am bassador felt it to be improper to use the British embassy for entertaining his personal friend, but that avowed enemy of the administration he rep reser p. "lit- He!" That was the short and t sive comment of Lord Northcii.-o today when he read an International News Service dis patch from London stating that the British foreign office has issued a statement denying that Lord Cur zon had anything to do with the can cellation of the invitation to Lord Northcliffe to be the guest at the British embassy here. Says Curzon Tried. Northcliffe, fresh from his morn ing bath and perspiration streaming down his lace, strode across the room with his bath robe flapping around his legs as the reporter was admitted. The publisher beckoned him into an adjoining room and remained stand ing. "Be brief, young man," he snapped. I want to get out of this heat. I can't stand it." The London dispatch, containing the denial of the British foreign of fice of Lord Curzon's connection with the cancellation of the embassy din ner, was proffered to him. "Read it," he said. "I can't see." The dispatch was read. "It's a lie," Northcliffe said, sharply, and turned to leave the room. "Can't you say something further about it," the publisher was asked. "What more do you want?" North cliffe returned. "I said it was a lie, didn't I?" The telephone rang and one of his secretaries called him. "I happen to know- he did it," referring evidently to Lord Curzon. Lord Northcliffe turned to the tele phone and the interview was ended. Northcliffe and his American repre sentative and H. Wickham Steed, edi tor of the London Times, were enter tained at luncheon today by the Over seas Writers, an organization of Amer ican newspaper men who have served in foreign countries. Mrs. Edward McLean, wife of the publisher of the Washington Post, will entertain Lord Northcliffe at a dinner tonight at hef lesidence. The British embassy today refused to comment on the incident or explain why Lord Northcliffe not a guest there. It was announce d. however. (Continued on Pnge Two.) MOTOKIST 3IUMBLISGS Tell a visitor he was on the most famous street In Kansas as you bounced him. oh his hip pocket along the South Kansas avenue pavement and he probably would ask you: "Famous for, what bumpy pavements?" South Kan sas avenue is a thorofare for out of town traffic from the south. Furthermore it is a street that is used by thousands of out of town motorists during; Free Fair week. The Free Fair wi'l be rolling along soon now and the repair shops will be filled with discontented auto owners unless some action Is taken in the improvements of this street. NOTE: These .mumblings arj not viciously attentive they are just the, grunts of persons who pay taxes and license fees and hS,e a right to wonder at their expendi ture. Motorists are thankful for the city's action in Improving the approaches to the Sixth street via duct and the action in forcing the railways" to repair the structure. The other day something was said In this column about dangerous hedges over the city. Workmen the day following trimmed the hedge at Tenth and Morris avenues. We believe that persons are thoughtless -not careless. Tt is hoped that these "Mumblings" will Jar, loose a few memories. FORECAST FOR KANSAS Generally fair tonight and Saturday.

FRENCH SEND A SHARP NOTE Almost a Threat to Sever Anglo-French Eelations. France May Withdraw Consent to Early Council Meet. London, July 29. Great Britain has formally warned Franca that unless she abandons her present policy there will be a general breakup of the Eu ropean entente, It was learned-ihis afternoon. This warning was contained In a note dispatched by Lord Curzon, for eign secretary, in reply to a previous communication from Premier Briand of France, dealing with Upper Si lesia. The French note, which was re ceived here yesterday, was described as the sharpest of all the Franco British exchanges. One British offi cial, who was conveinint with the contents, said the tone "resembled an ultimatum" and the language "was comparable with a threat to sever Anglo-French relations." Great Britain, in her reply, declared that a continuance of the French pol icy of acting alone threatens to break down the entente cordiale. Great Britain repeated that there was no necessity for sending allied re inforcements to Upper Silesia at this time. The British communication con cluded with' the hope that the French note of Thursday is not "the consid ered opinion of the French govern ment." France Suggests Delay. Paris, July 29. Following a meet ing of the French cabinet today, it was reported France withdrew her consent to a meeting of the inter allied supreme council August 4 and will suggest a further delay until Aug ust 11. President Millerand, of France, presided at the ministerial council. The ministers discussed at length the British communication of Thursday, dealing with the various phases of the Upper Silesia issue. The British note, which was a re ply to a French communication in sisting upon the immediate despatch of allied reinforcements to Upper Si lesia, was brought to Paris by a special diplomatic courier who trav eled by airplane. So far as .known, this is the first time that the airplane has ever been utilized for diplomatic intercourse. Premier Bonomi, of Italy, has gent word that he would be unable to at tend a meeting of the supreme coun cil on August 4, and France probably will utilize this development in her contention for a postponement of the meeting. Italy To Back Britain. Rome, July 29. Italy will support Great Britain's policy of moderation toward Upper Silesia when the su preme council meets next month, it was learned from authoritative source today. Premier Bonomi has been conferring with the foreign minister, the Italian ambassador to Germany, and General de Marlnls, commander of the Italian army of occupation in Upper Silesia, working out the Ital ian views. PEACE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Rumor Sinn Foln Have Reached Favorable Decision. London, July 29. The outlook for a formal Irish peace parley in Lon don was very bright today.

Hearty approval is exprei-sed by several London news papers this morning over the Japan, ese government's decision to accept President Harding's invitation to die- cuss limitation of armaments and tha Far Eastern question. The Times in a lengthy editorial saye: "Japan's best friends knew that sha would accept the invitation but the fact that her acceptance now is ac- tually on record is a relief to all who realize the magnitude of the issues with which the conference will b confronted." Japan's Plan Approved. Speaking of the constant tempta (tion "politicians with narrow -motives will find to drag subsidiary questions before the conference "in order to I make capital for themselves," tha Times says every precaution must be taken to guard against such proceed- Iings in Washington. "From this viewpoint, Japan's de sire to limit the scope of the agent! is to be approved," the newspaper e- clared. The writer also Is convinced that Japan, In making reservations as to what shall -be discussed at Ahe con ference, is not acting merely from a desire to safeguard her present inter ests in the Pacific, but also under a strong impulse to reduce the burden of naval armament. The editorial concludes with the hope that "friend ship, tried and proved in alliance, may may be broadened and deepened in a greater union that will be a sure bulwark tor peace." Best News Since War. The Daily Telegraph says that an agreement, between America, Great Britain and Japan, that such a con ference is desirable, "is the best news which has gladdened the world since the guns ceased firing in Europe, and it looks as tho before long we shall not need to contemplate with mis-1 givings, activities in the shipyards ot -the United States and Japan." j The Daily Mail says, if the confer, ence succeeds In limiting the great naval programs now In progress. It will render a great service to all con cerned, not the least of which will be to the Japanese people on whom the enormous cost of armament la begin ning to weigh heavily.

MOTORIST EXPLANATION The city water department today explained to The State Journal that the city was not at fault for the bad places in the pavements due to the holes 'ug tor the tapping of water mains. The fault lies with the plumbing establishments that make the excavations, the water officials explain. The city Is not allowed to excavate for private services this fs only a plumbers' privilege. Some plumbing establishment in town is responsible for the ttad places in the Eighth and Tenth avenue pavements rear Van Buren Btreet. Borne other establishment is responsible Ai or the hundreds of sinks and bumps in the brick and asphalt on other streets. There Is one, responsibility, how ever, that cannot be overlooked. Does not the city hire Inspectors to watch these excavations? Doesn't the city eventually have power to maintain and keep in repair all highways? The motorist who pays for damage1 on his car cannot hunt up plumbing establishments to place the blame. He Is traveling on the public thorofare and nat urally looks to his municipal gov ernment fpr relief. j It is very evident that the plumb ers are careless In their street ex cavations and It Is also very evl den that the cltytreet department is negligent in not enforcing rules and ordinances in the control of plumbers work. The city water department covers all Its street holes with planks until the con crete has settled. 'hy shouldn't the plumbers be required to do the same? It is Just a question of whether the plumbers or the city officials are supervising the streets of this town and the citizens and tax payers are under the Impression that they voted for municipal of ficers for this purpose.

j SALT OPERATORS PROTEST Object to Increased Freight Rates on Kansas Product. Kansas salt operators have joined in the protest against the Increase in freight rates that will be put into ef fect August 6, asserting that the rais ins; of rates will seriously affect their business by making it impossible for them to compete with salt producers of other fields. Clyde M. Reed, chair man of the public utilities commis sion, has agreed to take their protest to Washington and present it to the interstate commence commission. Two of the largest salt fields in the United States are located near Hutch inson, Kan., and Detroit, Mich. The two big markets these fields reach are at Chicago and St. Louis, where more than 200.000 tons of rock salt are shipped annually. Detroit salt operators already are able to ship to both of these markets cheaper than Kansas operators and with a further increase in Kansas rates it is said- the Kansas product will be unable to com pete profitably In either market. The hardships the new rates will place on salt and brick plants and other Industrial and agricultural ac tivities of this state will be considered in the outline of the case that will be drawn at Des Moines, la., today by a committee headed by Chairman Reed of the Kansas commission, that is working on the rat case that will be argued before the interstate com merce commission August 15. KING TAKES A (Continued from i'age One.) that Ambassador Geddes would be a guest at the McLean dinner tonight in honor of Lord Ndrthcliffe. Lord Northcllffe today repudiated the Interview in which he was report ed as having quoted King George as informing Lloyd George. "You must stop killing my subjects." After reading the statement read by Lloyd George In the house of com mons today. Lord Northcllffe sent Wickham Pteed, his editor, to meet the press and make this statement: "Lord Northcllffe denies having made such a statement." Britain Is Aroused. London. July 29. A rumpus which is msrked by steadily increasing bit terness and which now has assumed international ramifications today has grown out of the hostilities between Lloyd George and Marquis Curzon, the foreign secretary, on one hand, and Lord Northcllffe, the grejtt newspaper proprietor, on the other. The latest development, and one which promises to Increase the hos tility, was the cancellation of the Lord Northcliffe's dinner at the British em bassy in Washington. The importance of this incident was shown by the fact that the for eign office today took official cogni zance of it and issued a formal state ment saying the Marquis Curzon had nothing to do with the action of Sir Auckland Geddes. the British ambas sador in Washington. Before this de nial was issued, friends of Lord Northcllffe had charged the foreign secretary with responsibility for the cancellation. They declared Marquis Curzon was getting his revenge for the attack against him In Northcliffe's London Times when the foreign sec retary sjs characterized as a "pom-., pous and inefficient" and an unsuit able delegate to represent Great Brit ain In the Far Kastern conference. Premier Lloyd George was attacked fn the same article and Northcllffe has already felt the effect of the pre mier's displeasure thru the closing of special channels of information which the London Times formerly enjoyed. If it is to be a war of reprisal, the next move is up to Northcllffe, who is now in Washington. The whole nation Is watchina- the battle with keen interest. Kins Takes a Hand. j King George today took a hatad in the Northclirfe-Lloyd George contro versy and denied Lord Northcliffe's statement In New York that he (the king) had said to the premier: "You must stop killing my sub jects." King George's statement repudiat ing the accuracy of Lord Northcliffe's .Interview, was contained In an author ized statement which Lloyd George read in the house of commons. The statement read by Premier Lloyd George follows: "Statements have appeared in cer tain organs of the Irish and English press attributing words of great con cern to the king relating to Irish policy. "They appeared In an interview which Lord Northcllffe seems to have given out in the United States and which was sent to newspapers here. It is quite Impossible to deal with calamitous statements but here they are of a very categorical character and they attribute a very serious state ment to the sovereign calculated at the present moment to prejudice the chance of an Irish settlement. The statements have been circulated very freely, especially in Ireland. Kins; Denies statement. "The king therefore authorized me to issue the following: 'His majesty iasad his attention citreeiea to certain statements' reported in an Interview with Lord Northcllffe appearing In the Daily Mail and re produced in the Daily Express and some Irish newspapers. The state ments are a complete fabrication. No such conversation took place nor were ueh remarks made by his majesty.' Following the reading of the state ment. Premier Lloyd jeorge said: "I hope this statement may do something to sterilize the effect of the criminal malignity. Tp serve personal ends, he (Lard Northcllffe) is endeav oring to stir up mischief between the allies, misunderstandings between Great Britain and the United States and frustrate the hope of peace in Ireland." a ne premier a remarks were re-1 ceiveu witn applause. General Christian Smuts, premier of South Africa, who has taken a lead ing part In the Irish peace negotia tions, denied references made to King George and himself in tht interview given by Northcllffe. in New York.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1921 SHOWS BIG LOSS If Wast in Metal Trades Billion a Tear, Says .Report. Idle 3Ien and Machinery Re sponsible for Condition New York. July 29. Idle men and machinery are causing a loss of near ly a billion dollars a year in the metal trades industry, according to a report isued today by the committee on elim ination of waste. In industry of the American engineering council. This estimate does not include the value of materials that would be utilized if productivity were increased. Instability of labor employment, the committee said, is the major cause of waste in the industry, hich is the largest manufacturing industry in the L nited States, both in number of em ployes and value of products. Study "Why Men auit. The average waste due to avoidable labor turnover in the metal industry is computed at SiOu.uuu.uuu. Modern employment methods embracing the study of "why men quit" are urged. i t "We have 2,000,000 unnecessary Reparations the equivalent of two million worker annually separated and re-hired,' says the report. I'resent industrial conditions in the Vnited States and abroad are declared seriously to have affected the metal trades industry, which as a whole is1 tperuiins at only about 60 per cent of; normal. "Manufacturers," the report adds,,! can undoubtedly hasten a return to j normal conditions by producing goods as economically as possible, so as toj have selling prices low enough to at- tract buyers. Hosts With Management. ."There are nearly two million peo ple engaged in the metal trades indus try and an enormous increase in total production is possible. It is estimated) in:it at present about 50 per cent of the responsibility for waste, or non production, rests with management, namely, with the managers and execu tives in the plants." The report Fays that with the ex ception of the phipbuildinHT branch of this industry, instability of employ ment resulting from strikes and 1. ck uts has not been as serious in the metal trades as in- some other indus tries. "An open interchange of ideas and hrsinrss resu Its ny managements," it continues, "both in th particular in dustry and in other industries, should lend to a higher level of methods, serv ice and tfpr.er.il business ethics. It'. carried on thru definite channels such Interchange miht easily result in as combined study of the possibilities of; the future and the avoidance in the years to come of such conditions as we nre now facing. "It is evident that management of labor must bo elevated to a higher I .me. Because labor is the major factor In most, if not all industries, it Fhould be led by recognized intelli gence rather than by radical agitators on the one hand or by stupid reac tionaries on the other. "Remarkable and very favorable results have been secured in labor re lations and in improvement of effi ciency simply by establishing frank and open conferences and free inter change of opinions usually in genuine open shops i shops in which no preju dice or discrimination is allowed to exist either for or against men who tlu or do not belong to labor organiza tions nnd sometimes by collective bar gaining nnd dealing with a shop com mitre to which is delegated all re sponsibility for keepintr the men to Agreements fairly made between management and employes)." Will Take Time. Successful plants have management svstcms, says the report, which con t ludes: "It will take time to bring the en tire industry up to the hie her level. During that time, sorr. establishments will pnbabl; be e'iminated by the ci.n:H'ii'.ion of the more advanced; mu in this direction ".ies the only hope of f liminatii.g industrial wastes." The metal trades findings are a pa-t of the general report made by the coiiimit.ee on its national assay of in dustrial wr.fte, directed by L. W. Wal lace of Washington as vice chairman. The metal trades investigation was in choree of Fred J. M ho- of New York and W. B. Ferguson of Philadelphia. OKU. AVIATOHS AUL' KIIXKO. Plane Falls During A. L. Celebration at Pawnee.

Director, Washing ton, 1. C. Kansas soon will be paying the same freight rates that other states :are paying. The public utilities com miesion, by its persistent fight against tho advance in rate?, saved the people of the state a considerable sum of money. But it is doubtful that the amount thus saved would equal what the commission has cost. The extra 'eras bill paid, owing to the commis sion's meddling, probably would equal 11 that has been saved in freight and passenger charges. The commission has cost the taxpayers heavily in va rious ways, with nothing to show for ithe expenditure except the saving made on freight and passenger 'charges. How the rate advance was taved off may never be known. Com missions In other states tried It and failed and It was inevitable from the 'start that the Kansas commission finally would be overruled. It would be interesting to know why it was left to the last. j The monthly review by the Federal Itescrve bank af Kansas City shows 'that In the first six months of the Vear there was an increase of 2,836 in thi number of building permits issued in the Tenth district while there was a reduction of 40 per cent in total ;cost. This seems to indicate that the (people are building more garages than ithey were last year. i Chairman Lasker of the shipping board is asking for $125,000,000 to see the board thru the next five months. The board sank f 380,000,000 last year. Probably it would be money In Un cle Sam's pocket in the long run if he would sink the ships or give them jaway, if anybody can be found to tako jthem. Why is it necessary for the government to continue to send good money after bad? One of the flimsiest arguments Against the sales tax Is that its psy chological effect w.ould be"to hinder rthe restoration of the public's buying ipower. Therefore, fos the psychologi cal effect, the tax should be hidden, '.collected, say. from the producer. However, all such taxes would show up on the price tag; and they are cer tain to te added several times when they are "hidden." Furthermore, re storing the buying power of the pub lic is no longer a matter of psychology. It is a, question of having the money to spend.-yBloux City Tribune. The general commanding the Greek .forces in Asia Minor has announced Oils intention of annihilating the Turk ish army. Up to this time no protest has been recorded. If he carry out Tils intention It may be that the Arme nians will obtain a much needed rest; ttlso the charitably inclined portion of ;the American population here at home. Several centuries have elapsed since the Greeks previously cut a swath thru Asia, but there ia a pop ular belief that history repeats itself. Grain and grain products are mov ing In greater volume than at any time within the past three years, "da spite the increase in freight rates,' says the American Railway associa tion. Certainly the producers are npt willing to let their grain rot on the ground as it did last year. It did not move at Jthat time because the rati roads did not furnish a sufficient number of cars. But It need not be supposed that the shippers are ignor ant of the fact that they are paying the increased rates. The Hoover relief commission an nounces that It will reduce its food contributions to Europe by SO per cent. Coincidentally with the an nouncement comes the report of the sinking of a British steamer with a cargo of cattle'and erato from the Danube country to Rotterdam. The nations thru which the Danube flows have been reported as- the hungriest In Europe, but they appear to be able to export shiploads of foodstuffs to Holland for profit. It ia the China situation over again. American relief societies are said to be losing some of their enthusiasm. No wonder. THE THEATRICAL OUTLOOK. It has been noted by theater pa trons that during the past five years each succeeding season has seen a smaller number of really meritorious offerings in the local play house. It has been suggested that the falling off is due to lack of patronage brought c bout by the inroads of the movies on the business of the spoken drama. The true reason for the change that has taken place probably lies in the high cost of transportation. Man agers of traveling attractions say that they cannot afford to send companies on tour in the numbers that they used to send. Salaries are so high, they de clare, and production costs have so Increased that it is practical to send only plays with small casts and not more than two sets of scenery on vis Its to a dozen or twenty of the larger cities. Only in rare instances, accord ing to their statements, is it possible td send an elaborate production on tour;such cases being entertainments that have proved unusually popular and capable of filling the largest the aters. The number of traveling dra matic companies have diminished so greatly during the past five years that the smaller cities are left with only motion pictures as a source of dra matic entertainment, unless those cities have stock companies. At least fifty cities, it is reported, are to have local companies, giving plays that have never been brought to those cities by traveling players. Atchison is said to be the only town of,its size in the United States sup porting a resident etock company. A return to pre-war prices has Just been announced. The Atchison house is believed to be the first in the mid dle west to make the reduction. The admission was reduced from 35 and 50 cents to 10, 20 and 30 cents. Some cities, like Indianapolis and Los Angeles, have had summer stock companies in recent years, made up not of routine players but of players who were in demand for the best Broadway companies In the winter. Prices charged by the big traveling companies already are as high as the public will stand. It follows, there fore, that unless they can reduce cost of operation they must stick to Broad way, In which case there is nothing left for the provinces but stock. When" Chairman Fordney and his committee decided that there should be no consideration of the sales tax they probably forgot your Uncle Reed Smoot over in the senate. JUDGE LtAXDI. ARBITER. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis has taken time off from his duties as director of the baseball business of the country to adjust the building trades dispute, which has tied up con struction in Chicago since May 1. It is reported that the Judge's findings have been accepted by both sides anl work will be resumed. Judge Landis has laid down a set of principles and rules which, if ob served by the building trade thruout the country would go far toward re lieving the housing shortage. The judge's principles and rules follow Article 1. Monopolistic elements of associations or uni ns are intolerable unless: 1 The public Is served more eco nomically with them than without them. 3 Unless any one qualified may join them without hindrance or dis criminations 3 Unless they serve any one on demand without discrimination. 4 Unless sufficient apprentices be taught to supply enough skilful 5 Unless working rules and con ditions eliminate waste of time, ef fort and material, increase quality and quantity of product; encourage im proved methods, materials and appli ances; produce increased skill and contentment of the workers; and help to preserve peace in the community. Article 2. Other things being equal, trades should have higher wages, or wages aDove tne average: 1 If the work is more hazardous. 2 If greater skill is required. 5 If a longer term of apprentice ship is required to become proficient. If the work is intermittent or unsteady, due to veather or season able demand. Article 8. Other things being equal, trades havings rules or condi tions that produce or permit waste should have a lower wage, or a wage lower than the average rate: 1 Rules that limit or curtail In any way the amount of work per man, con sistent with reasonable comfort and well being. 2 Rules that require ordinary travel to or from the job to be on em ployers' time, or otherwise waste time paid for. 8 Rules requiring skilled men er high rate men to do work that IesS skilled or lower rate men could do or other trades could do more economi cally. 4 Rules that exp f .ly or by Infer ence Interfere with the manager or foreman in the dispatch of the work or the use of new or improved meth ods, materials or appliances. 6 Rules that require work to be done by hand that could be done bet ter or more economically by machin ery, tools or other improved methods. Rules that require work to be done on the building that could be none better or mors economically in the shop. 1 Rules requiring excessive rates for overtime, or overtime rates for shift work. 8 Rules requiring unnecessary foremen, shop or Job stewards or pay for men or the time of men who do not render corresponding services. 9 Rules .requiring unnecessary helpers or assistants. 10 Rules that Emit the number of members in the associations or unions, or unreasonably limit apprenticeships. The outstanding feature of the agreement is that in the future there shall he no strike over wages until th matter in dispute has been sub mitted to Judge Landis. topekJtstate journal Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKJJT, Director, Washington, D. C OUR I N" TEXLECTt" AL CIRCUS. Washington, D. C, July 26. High in the list of typically American in stitutions, together with Election Day and the Ziegfeld Follies, is the In creasingly popular form of entertain ment known as the Chautauqua, which has been termed the Intellectual Cir cus of America. Chautauqua authori ties say that last year approximately one-third of the population of the United States 35,449,76 people at tendedvebautauqua performances. It has been predicted that this year the rumber enjoying this form of educa tional entertainment and its sister type, the lyceum program, will reacn the fifty million mark. Every state in the Union has com munities which patronize the Chau tauqua, but the Great Chautauqua Belt, as the trade term has it, lies ia the middle western states including especially: Iowa, which has 436; Illi nois, 352; Ohio, 317; and Pennsyl vania, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri Wisconsin and Oklahoma. New York state has 201 separate chautauquas aside from tho great organization at Lake Chautauqua. Last year 3, SSL towns granted their inhabitants and those of neighboring communities the privilege of chautauqua programs. The movement is growing rzqyond the bounds of this country and at pres ent, two continents including four countries have chautauquas in their midst. In North America the United States.tanada'and Alaska are favored with the presence of -these organiza tions. In Australia, chautauqua pro grams are given in New Zealand. Chi nese students fft this country are said to bo eager to carry the chautauqua movement to their home country and Lloyd George, prime minister of Eng land, has been quoted as giving the chautauqua his heartiest approval. 1 There seem to be four prime factors in the psychological basis which lies beneath the marvelous success of his institution. They are the getting away c the members of the audience from their mere community interests, the getting together of a large body, of people under the cover of one of these khaki-covered colleges, the formal discussion of big prob lems; and the decidedly informal atmosphere discussion of big prob lems, and the decidedly informal atmosphere of the place where the program is given. These factors, when set down in inflexible type, look extremely paradoxical, yet they are not. And, above all, one should not forget, in this connection, what Gil bert K. Chesterton, king of paradox ists (if such a word may be permit ted) has stated, namely, that the American people have a positively he roic capacity for giving and receiving lectures. Under the Brown Top. Come inside the big brown tent for a minute and stand (with others) be hind one of the poles which support the great brown "top." Every folding chair in the place is filled with solid men, nervous women, blinking chil dren. A young lady in a foulard dress sits with folded hands before the rented upright piano. A row perspiring but earnest speakers1 and town officials rest their hands on their knees as they sit in a semi circle on the little platform, the archi tectural crudeness of which is hidden beneath gay red, white, and blue draperies. Tiny flies polka-dot the sputtering electric iighta Ths Im patient honk of the horn on one of the flock of automobiles outside is sounded occasionally. At length the gentleman standing by the rickety little cherry-varnished stand support ing the proverbial pitcher of ice water, has ceased speaking. A swarm ing buzz of discussion gradually arises after the first timidly volunteered questions. Straggling groups wait to shake the speaker's hand. The string quartet, which played Tschalkowsky's music earlier, and the pianist strike up the Star Spangled Banner. The subject on the program may be on any issue of general interest. New foods, Shakespearian drama, selections from grand opera, clever readings by famous authors, Bolshevism. the League of Nations, the latest thing in airplanes, national debts, are all sub jects which have been brought before interested chautauqua audiences. The object of the chautauqua is the bring ing of knowledge and uplift in all directions to the people. The admission price is low, the pro gram full of live interest and the entire performance as carefully thought out and planned beforehand as the menu which a skilled French chef prepares for the most particular of banquets. The mental diet qualities of each pro gram are carefully weighed prior to their selection. There may be a cer tain number of calories of science, a few of travel, considerable music of varying kinds, a little politics, and this year especially, plenty of good- solid Americanism The Radcliffe Chautauqua system. one of the largeBt of the fourteen large systems in the United States is special izing in American ideals this season. The three big programs offered by this system have as their topics "America's Political Ideal," "America's Social Ideal" and "America's Industrial Ideal." The other numbers on this Chautauqua's programs for the present season are equally topics tji tne moment including "A Community Pro gram," "The v alue ofthe Individual," and "Americans All." The last is a de tachment of men collected from the re cruit educational centers of the United States army. This Radclif fa. system is said to be the only one in the country which carefully collects the material and performers for the entire season's prugr&mo la preliminary EU-uyriaurau to see that there will be no overlap ping of interests, no trite methods of treatment, and, above all, that there may be complete unity in each pro gram. AH of the various systems attempt to give some inspiration, spur some of the many hearers with ambition, and afford accurate material for com munity discussion of matters with which every American citizen and all ether inhabitants of our eountry should be thoroly familiar. There are also special morning and afternoon programs for the children. One teacher in a southern school stated that the chautauqua meant as much t her pupils In culture, right living ana inspiration as a whole year in school. The chautauqua is introduc ing the long-frowned upon "cram- mirg" idea fashionably clothed and dignified as "intensive training." A Century old. What was evidently the life germ of the whole chautauqua idea was the plan which originated in the brain of one Josiah Holbrook, eon of a Revolu tionary veteran, when he organized forty farmers and mechanics ino Millbury Branch No. l ot the Ameri can Lyceum In Massachusetts In 1826. Mr. Holbrook later founded the Con cord Lyceum and the Boston Lyceum of which Daniel Webster was the first president. The evolution of the lyceum into the chautauqua, however, was the idea of the late Bishop John H. Vin cent of the Methodist Episcopal church. It is interesting to note, in this connection, that Bishop Vincent, like Abraham Lincoln, who was a friend and admirer of the bishop, was self-educated by a cabin fireplace. His motto was "Education ends only with life." Doctor Vincent was responsible for the first meeting on the shores of Lake Chautauqua, New York, of what has become known as the "Mother Chautauqua of the World," in 1870. Doctor Vincent undoubtedly had a deep understanding of America end her people. Uncounted homes havo felt the influence of his life. Millions of people who had been financially or otherwise denied the privileges of a college education had the sting re moved from their regret when Lake Chautauqua, under the supervision of Doctor Vincent, opened possibilities of achieving "concentrated" wisdom. Both the summer school and the home read ing courses offered thru this medium have proved exceedingly popular. Many, also are the distinguished- men and women who nave spoken from chautauqua platforms all over the country. The American sense of humor has made much of the fact that statesmen, returned travelers, writers and other professionals temporarily out of a job have taken up chautauqua lecturing in homeopathic doses. Most of them have been successful in inter esting the public or they have grati fied that innate curiosity which always invests the human spectator when viewing a much-talked-of specimen of more Or less zoological oddity. In the latest fashions of chautauquas, how ever, in addition to the especially pre pared mental menus, there are some chautauqua systems which choose their men and give them assignments to go out into the wide, wide world and manufacture material to interest the chautauqua of the future. Ralph Waldo Emerson was the first famous professional lecturer on a lyceum program. He spoke in one hall ninety-eight times without pay for his services, but before he finished, he was getting 86 00 a night. Henry Ward Beecher, another of the pioneer lyceum and chautauqua lecturers, was fond of telling the story of how "once down east I was paid for my services with twelve bushels of potatoes." Other famous chautauqua speakers are: Mark Twain, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russe'l Lowe". T.nuis Agassiz, Henry James, Matthew Arnold, Julia Ward Howe, irv n S. Uobb, former President Taft. W: J. Bryan, Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, physician to three presidents, Stephen Leacock, Senator W. S. Kenyon, Dr. Harvey Wiley and Edna Ferber. Larger each day is the number of talented Individuals who are coming to realize that it they have a real, sincere message to get over to the American public, the chautauqua is one of the happiest mediums available. No one has ever yet attempted to dis pute the fact that we may be younr, but we're perfectly willing to learn anything that comes our way. The American public can be depended upon to stop, look and listen whenever it pays to enter a khaki-covered college. George MatthevJ Adams Daily Talk NEVER GIVE UP. t.. A thrilling story was published In the metropolitan papers of New york recently. A very poor, foreign artist Tvho worked in a little room in Greenwich Village at his art, was suddenly ad vised that even for his humble abode rent money was necessary- But he had none to give! So he was shoved out. He was poorly nourished. His clothes were all on his back. And not any too much at that, It was a dark day indeed for this young chap. I can imagine all he felt. But on the very day that he was put out, he received a letter. The let ter stated that his painting which he had on exhibition in the country of his birth, had won a scholarship which included three years study with all expenses paid! You never know when the thing you most desire is going to come around. The important task for us all is to keep getting ready. It's the unready, the non-prepared, that are shoved aside, and place given to him who knows who has served his soul aright thru all the varying conditions of want, discouragement and failure. I know that it is trite and old- ad vice, but never give up! The blacker and fiercer the storm, the more serene and fresh Is the earth afterwards. Never has it been other wise. You never know when you are go ing to need sorely the training of sor row, failure and want. I recently visited a little boy tn a hospital. The nurse told me that he had no chance at all. But the mother said that after losing a husband and facing two serious accidents in which her other children had been, she was steeled for anything. And so she smiled and buoyed her pale, suffer ing boy. I never saw such magnifi cent nerve and strength of character. A week later they told this mother that the boy would live! When he gets grown I hope someone will tell him how great a mother he has. But no one will have to, I suspect. You never know. If you did, you would maybe give up and lose. Sombody is always caring, waiting and expecting. People who under stand, have come to know that God Is always kind that he always holds out a chance. THE OOODT-GOODY MAN. I do not mind tha man who ridei hi hobbles, T can abide the faddist now and then, I think the creatures found In hotel lobbies Some day perhaps may change and grow to men J ca put up with him who merely borea me 'And be polite to pests of every kind. But on there Is who positively floors me Tut gentleman who a overly refined. I do not mind the man with worn-out stories, At least he wants to cheer me up a bit; The boastful man who magnifies bis glories May some day see his foolishness and quit; The grouchy man is hard to get along with. But even him I would not wholly ban: There's Only one I am forever wrong with. The ever-perfect goody-goody man. Th game of life is rough and men must play it. To be a man one has to stand the brunt, A spade's a spade why be afraid to say it? The meaning's clearer when tho speech la blunt; A man can be a man and act politely. Can lfve with men and keep a polished mind. Alfeyes at times must look on things un sightly. And vigcr dies that is too-mnch refined. (Copyright, 1931. by Edgar A. Quest) JUST FOLKS BY EDGAR A. GUEST. J -Evening Story In Silk Attire. BY MARTHA McC. WILLIAMS. Marfa held to a religion of hate against housework. A vain piece she, proud of her soft hands with taper fingers and filbert shaped nails. Her dream was to sit In airy fairy gar ments in softly lighted spaces evolving beauty from gay-colored wools and rich silks or turning lace and linen into garments fine enough for a prin cess. She loved rich and fine textures and had an artist'B sensibility to color. Silk especially fascinated her; she gloated over hercant store of it with an approach to miser joy. In a way that was lucky all around. Her parents were just people of the old fashion, and somewhat narrow. When she was done with school and restless in too-abundant leisure they had settled her problem by offering her wages to stay and help her. mother, who was in vigorous middle age. Neighbors had laughed at first Marfa had a soft anap. Mrs. Lane would do all the hard things and her daughter get a tidy sum for standing by. There they reckoned without cither mother or daughter. Shirking was impossible to them Marfa did her full share. But not for love of those needing it; instead,, for love of silk. She put by her money to buy her fill of it, permitting her parents to clothe her in things fit for a working girl. So the savings mounted steadily, albeit now and then Marfa was tempt ed by a scarf, a length of a rare weave fascin'ating in color and texture, a bit of satin or brocade truly royal. No body sought to hinder such spendings; an only daughter, even if rebellious against environment, is too precious to be crossed needlessly. Besides the elders were sympathetic toward Mar fa's longings. She came by them hon estly. T&ey themselves were plain folk, but Grandma Marklen had been Just the same. She had craved, saved and hoarded and at la6t died of shock and grief when her trunkfuls of finery were burned uninsured. Cynthy, eld est daughter, sole inheritor in her gen eration of grandma's passion, was thought by the two younger girls to have borrowed several especially gor geous things Just before the fire. But she denied having them so there the matter rested. The denying had made coolness between the sisters, but Cynthy. in her city home, cared little for that. She had married well; a widower twice her age, with an overgrown son, and a bad case of grouch. Dying a few years after, he had left her a life estate that assured her a hand some income, but nothing in fee everything reverted to the son, who had grown out of his bulkiness but kept his resentment to Cynthy. So when Joe Lane went to work in the city, Cynthy otherwise Mrs. Jabez Clifford; had sought him out,, made him free of her home -a handsome apartment and introduced him. to her frionds. He had done her much credit among them, being clean-minded, straight, tall and supple, fresh-colored and easy in manner with the ease that comes from a very kind heart." Yet she did not encourage him to speak of home nor home affairs. "I want ,you all mine, while you are 'with me," she had -said in the beginning. Hence his letters had not dwelt upon her kindness. He was glad they had not when the trouble came the home people might feel that he could appeal to Jc-r for help. That was, on the face or things, impossible; yet when she somehow sensed his deep disquiet, and cross examined hira cleverly, he ended by showing her-his father's letter. "Son, don't jeopard your own future." it ran, "but if you can, lend me a thou sand dollars or so. What I let you have when you left us was a gift out right; am not asking a penny of It back. You know why, I think, so the land might go free and clear to your sister. She may Jove it not better than you do, but it can't die nor run away, and can be so left to her as to make it certain she has comfort. And it insures us old folk a good liv ing as long as we have no debts to pay. "Now there isn't the scratch of a pen against me but with the fruit all killed,' the garden-truck more than half ruined and wheat so hurt by last week's frost, the income in sight will barely pay taxes, and insurance and no matter how you save, saving isn't possible when jou haven't any money. "A thousand will tide us over beau tifully could get it on mortgage easy, but I want to die as I've lived, mort gage free. You will. I know, be glad to help me if you can with justice to yourself. That you must decide If you are likely to. hurt yourself in pocket or standing with your part ners, say so like the man I hope we've made you. I know you won't think I ought to use Marfa's money, she has saved a little more than the thousand In her three years' work for us. But we know, mother and I, her heart is set on spending it for silk, and she shall have the fun of doing it no mat ter what happens." Aunt Cynthy read the letter thru, pursed her lips, winked hard then said abruptly: "Joe, will you take me down there for the week-end Satur day?" v "Yes, if you care to go," Joe said restrainedly. He had hoped she might be touched; instead she seemed to think only of herself. Later by shrewd questions she learned that he could not send the money with the business situation so ticklish, his own business could spare nothing not Im peratively needed, "and outside bor rowing would queer, not only himself but his firm. To that she nodded af firmatively but said only: ."We'll go, but don't you dare give them warn ing. I want to see all things for my self." t All the long sunny afternoon ithe runabout took them thru a frost scathed world. The sunny days had brought out fully the havoc wrought even forest trees were nipped, -orchards showed as disconsolate blots on the landscape wheat that had been like green velvet was a tangle of twisted darkness with a faint yel low showing thru. Even the lines of young oorn wore yellow tips. Joe was no landloyer, vet he groaned in spirit over .the ruin. "Farmers are the really reckless dealers In futures," he said bitterly. "They stake everything asrainst wind and weather, things nobody can eon trol.! Aunt Cynthy nodded. "I'm glad you have quit the game," she said. Marfa ran out to welcome them, bare-armed, trim and rosy, with wispy., curls peeping out from her white cap and a fetching dimple at play in her left cheek. Behind came heT elders, witbr smiles and open arms. They were fnaddenly cheerful for folic on tne edge of ruin. Joe had written instantly, confessing himself unable to help but here were all hands lively as crickets, with no cloud anywhere In sight. Supper was a poem made manifest in country plenty and superlative cooking. Aunt Cynthy exclaimed over it to such an extent her sister was moved to say, pretending to sigh: Yes we've rot a fine coon but, my. she's a pirate in petticoats! Has gone up on us a dollar a week with wages tumbling all 'round us. "Ana the worst is we can t- dis charge her you see she owns us and the place," Mr, Lane said with a twinkle. .Maria frowned at him, but he went on: "Fact holds a mort gage on everything for the rest of our lives so we can look the sheriff in the eye and make faces at the tax gatherer. Still I'm a little afraid she'll prove rather a tyrant." "Marfa? You never?" Joe cried, a choke in his throat. "How could you when when?" There he had to stop. "When you love silk so well," Aunt Cynthy finished for him. Marfa had stood up, her eyes downcast nowj alio Iiii uemnu iier luiaer, put oer arms around his neck and said clear ly: "Can t I love them better?" After that the visit was a joyous riot. Marfa, the informing spirit of it, petted everybody. Even Aunt Cynthv who ended by staying a fortnight. m days Deiore sne lett came a wonder-trunk for Marfa one which dis gorged rainbow miracles of silk and satin, lace and linen cambric. Un derneath there were some heavy bro cades, stiff and gorgeous enough for coronation robes. Mrs. Lane gasped at sight of them, but her sister said proudly, holding a creamy-gold-shot fabric next to Marfa's glowing face: "Here's the wedding gown, child and don't you wait too long to wear it." XhanRy. madam I won't." Marfa said, blushing rosy-red. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks BY -DOROTHV DIX World's Highest Paid Woman Writer. How the Other Hair Lives 2. And there you are, with two people each thinking the other's occupation is a picnic, and their own job grinding worK because neitner has ever tried to shoulder the other's burden. Further more, it is perfectly logical that they should take this opposite point of view because they have always seen each other's lot from different angles. Home means to the man a place of rest and relaxation, of good food, and cleanliness, and order the most de sirable and comfortable spot in the world in which to be, and he has no conception of the endless labor it takes to produce this result. He never stops to think of the hours It takes to pre pare the dinner that is eaten in half an hour, of the weariness that has gone into the washing of dishes and clothes, and the sweeping of floors that are soiled and littered up again as soon as cleaned. Nor can his wildest flight of fancy picture what a drain on the vitality is the care of even the most angel children with their Incessant activities, their fights and quarrels, and wailings, and ceaseless call on mo-o-o-ther. He knows that a single Sunday afternoon alone with a twp-year-old kiddie wears him to a frazzle, but he labors under 'the v Illusion that a woman doesn't ever weary of her babies, and that it is just fun for her to be on the jump with them all day and half the night. And women have the same halluci nation about a man's work being all beer and skittles because going down town means a spree to them. It means the thrill of shopping, of being in crowd, a lunch, and perhaps a matl ness or picture show, and they have a vague idea that a business man passes his time in a round of pleasure. The know nothing of the wearing grind of the daily treadmill, where, sick or well, a man must toil on or lose his job. They never dream of the overbearing insolence of the man higher up, or tho exasperation of em ployes who have no Interest or loyalty in thdir work, of the heart breaking, nerve wearing anxiety of the man who. sees his whole fortune trembling in the balance in some trade. They do not know that every dollar is bought gith blood and sweat. Business women, who have been in the thick of the fight themselves, know this, and that-is why they make the best wives, and the most consider ate wives In the world. They know whatmen have to endure, and they sympathize with them, but men have never had a chance to find out how hard is woman's lot, and that is why the average husband can not make the proper allowance for his .wit'a-' when she is nerve fagged and -tearrul, or cross. Certainly men and women would pity each other more, and be more patient, anfl gentler with each other if one half knew how the other half lived.

Never had I been quite natural, quite myself with Keith since the day when I overheard him accuse Marga ret of being the cause of bis not marrying Alice De Lisle. I felt' con stantly as if there were something be tween us, something that should be cleared away- Yet I hesitated to ,t -L. t..t,.,na T fMMlf1 krith mfsrht admit he was sorry he had married i me instead of the widow or tnat i might, at least, sense his regret even tho he did not admit it. I was in a mood when companion ship, sympathy, even tho unexpressed, appealed strongly to xne. I felt quite at home with Tom Benedict, so much so that on the nurse's day out I would take June with me and he would push the carriage. I knew he was sorry for me altho he never had said sor But I had seen a look on his face when Mar garet would say something disagree able, or treat me with scorn, that showed, me he understood and sym pathized. Then came a day when my world lay in ruins-ebout my feet; when all I wanted was to die. My darling baby had been taken from me in a night, the blackest I have ever knownfc Years have passed since then, and even yet I can scarcely talk or write of that night of agony. The only comfort I had in all that blackness was that never had I been separated; from her, never failed to give her all of a mother's love a mother's care. How do women wh9 leave their children to. servants endure the agony of self-reproach when they lose them? For months I was ill. Keith grieved, too, but he had his business and his outside interests to take his thoughts from his sorrow, while I had nothing. Margaret pretended to think I might pull myself together if I would. But my will to live was gone. My unhapplness hnd sapped my strength, and when the blow came It finished me. It was not until baby had been gone two months and we were back In town that" I understood Margaret's ac tion in throwing Tom Benedict and me together while he was at the coun try club, Irene was with me. Suddenly she asked: "Did you love Tom Benedict, Aunt Vera? I mean before baby went away." Irene had developed a great taste for hectic fiction. I imagined she had been reading something that made her ask the question, and so answered carelessly: "Tom was Just a good friend, Irene. We dpn't love our friends in the way your story book people speak of love." "But Mother said you and Tom were falling in love- with each other and that she was glad of It. I heard her, she repeated, "so you needn't shake your head." "Why should your mother be glad to have me fall In love with Tom- when I am married to Uncle Keith?" "I'm sure I don't know unless she thought she'd have Uncle Keith all to herself. Mother's awful 6elfish with Uncle Keith. She won't even let him take me places now I am most grown up unless she Is along. I guess she's afraid he'll like me better than he does her." "You are too much grown up, Irene, to talk like that about your mother." "Well, I don't tell anything but the truth. Mother told Mrs. De Lisle more than I have told youi She said she was going to help the affair along all she could! She meant your affair with Tom Benedict. I know from what Mrs. De Lisle said." "Please, Irene, don't tell me any more. "I've tired you, haven't I?" She was contrite at once. "Poor Aunt Vera! I don't mean to be an old tattletale, but mother makes me sort of mad." I made no reply, and shut my eyes. I wanted to be alone. Irene saw that I wns weary and left me. Many things now were plain that had puzzled me. It seemed a long, long time ago so long, and so much had happened that It and everything else were of little moment. Margaret had deliberately thrown us together, helped make things pleasant for us, so that we would fall in love with each other and do something foolish that would free Keith. "What a wicked woman!"

Prescription Specialists Ask Tour Doctor About Ul Drugs and Toilet Goods The Modern Drag Store CUT-RATE ASKS RECIPROCITY TREATY Kansas Auto Owners Have Trouble In Other States. L. J, Pettijohn, secretary of state. Is seeking an automobile tax "reciprocity treaty" with the state of Missouri. The mayor of Pittsburg has In formed Pettijohn that Kansans who have applied for their new license tags but have not received them yet are experiencing a great deal of trouble when they cross the Missouri line. The officials in the adjoining state have sought to arrest them for driving without a license. Pettijohn has written to the Mis souri secretary of state, calling his at tention to the Kansas statute regard ing non-residents which provides: "Tha't a receipt from the proper offi cer bf the non-resident's state, show ing that the owner of the motor ve hicle has made application for its reg istration and has paid the fees there for, shall be prima facie evidence that the owner of such motor vehicle has complied with the law of said state, and shall entitle him to operate such motor vehicle in this state until a li cense certificate and number plate are received by the owner." The car may be driven fifteen days without a tag if application has been made. Kansans sojourrifeis: in adjoining states should have the same privilege, Pettijohn believes. Tags are sent from the Topeka of fice within three to five days from receipt of application from the county treasurer. So far, approximately 170, 000 applications, or considerably more than one-half of the total expected registration, has 'been received. An office force of sixty persons is busy In the automobile license division. Married In Lawrence. Lawrence, Kan., July 29. Charles W. Ready and Alta M.

NOTE: Liquor is easily obtainable In Mw York's old whit, light district but It come, hlg-h. Vhat axe tho profit and where do they got Oae pint of whisky traced from eoaree to eon&umer iella tho story: New York, July 29. When you pay $15 for a pint of liquor worth CO cents, where does your money go? It helps to pay salaries, running expenses and dividends of what is rapidly becoming one .of the big in dustries of the United States the I business of bootlegging. This is-the story, of one particular pint of hootch, called Scotchrwhisky, traced to its source up the miry stream of illicit liquor -which- is flow ing in ever-increasing volume into and thru the country. r The pint was bought at a cabaret. a few doors off Broadway in the heart of the "white light" district. The proprietor charged $15 a pint. He bought the liquor at .120 a case. His profit was 200 per cent, or $10 on our pint. He says he sells about thirty pints a night, on an average. Out of his profit of over $2,000 a week he pays $300 for "pro'tecflon," while "hush money" incidental to his hav ing tho hootch on hand costs him $200 more. On an average of once a week, a genuine raid forces him to send his supply gurgling down the sink at no profit whatever. Our pint reached this particular cabaret in the sewn-up sleeves of a raincoat carried carelessly over the arm of a furtive-eyed messenger. The "retailer," less than three blocks away, paid $80 a case for thisr-whisky, because it was 'good stuff." in genu ine bottles, with real labels and stamps. His profit was 50 per cent, or about $1.67 on the pint under dis cussion. But he sells about BOO pints a day on "good days." His headquar ters, thinly disguised, cost him "some thing terrible," he says, in the Way of "protection." Every day or so trucks drive up to his warehouse with their liquid freight, i A syndicate, which bottles the stuff in a well concealed plant not 3.000 miles from Times Square, pays the drivers of these trucks $100 a week. It pays high wages to its workmen, buying si lence as well as, skill. It pays as high as $1.50 and $2 apiece for "genuine, nonrefillable" bottles and a slice of its profits goes to expert counterfeiters of internal revenue stamps. The whisky with which we are con cerned, which was delivered to the re tailer C. O. D. at $80 a case, cost the syndicate $9.50 a gallon F. O. B.. that is, "flung overboard" from a sailing ship in from the Bahamas. The for eign crew, which had brought the liquor along attheir own risk, were content with a profit of 100 per cent. Our pint of whisky cost 60 cents at the source. The business of bootleg ging transferred it from producer to consumer at a profit of 2400 per cent.

OF VACATIONS Newspaper Man With Car Has No Business on This Earth Anyway. E. D. Keilmann, telegraph editor of The Topeka State Journal, who is tak ing his annual vacation, 'probably wishes that he had been on the Job as usual, today. "Ki," not having a thing -to do this morning drove downtown in his motor car, parked his machine on Kansas avenue, and went along whlling his time away, forgetting all about the new parking ordinance. Of course, he was gone more than an hour and when he returned he found the usual greet ings from a cop requesting him to ap pear at the police station. He did ond left a check for $5 for his appearance in police court. Which all goes to show that a news paper man has no business to take a vacation, let alone having a car. WILL OPEN COFFEE SHOP Unique Eating Places Popular In East Topeka to Have One. In England, and her American colo nies, during the reign of George III, the coffee houses were gathering places for the gentlemen of leisurej and the exchange of social amenities, gossip, and occasionally the "fighting word," which resulted in orders in the chill gray of the following morning "Pistols for two. Coffee for one to follow." The coffee shop Is coming back Into its own. Little, unique places where coffee and light lunches are served, have established themselves on a firm footing in eastern cities. Topeka's first coffee shop is to he formally nnpnorl Kntnrrlov nlcht The "Heron" is over the WoolwortV store, next door to the National hotel. It is to be found by entering the door to the left of the Woolworth entrance, and W. A. Herren is its manager. The aim of the coffee shop Is originality some pleasant, cozy, dif ferent place to eat. The Heron is in that class. W. A. Herren was a com mercial designer for a number of years, and the decorations of the Heron are his own creation, from the inception of their ideas to tho appli cation of the stain and-the paint. The bird for which the shop is named is the motif of the decorative screen. The coffee shop at the front of the loom is done in brown tones, to match the idea of coffee, with the heron and other lighter touches to relieve the one color scheme. Eleven tables at the front will seat forty-four guests at a time. In the same room, there is a retail stock of coffee, tea and spices. In this de partment T. I. Herren. who has been handling a retail coffee business in Topeka for some years, will be in charge. v j Next to the retail counter and stock, is the kitchen, and behind the kitchen another feature opens up. In a Jap anese tea garden, tea from the same stock as the coffee, is to be served. All the lighta in the tea shop are ar tificial shining thru the paper Jap anese lanterns. Panels about the wall, in Japanese style, are all the work of W. A. Herren. Herren has been wielding a vigorous brush for weeka, in the decoration of the plant. Miss Nanon Herren, publisher of the Daily Legal News, assisted in the selection of the materials for the decoration. The rooms will he open for the In spection of the public, tho there will be no coffee or sandwiches served, Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1921 TEST KANSAS GAS Total of 41 Pumps Gave Short Measure, Report Shows. hotter Gives Complete Figures on Sarrej-jTer State. Cjeyvtlle is golcg to b given the opportunity of becoming the cleanest tor-n Sn Kansas. Tills was Indicated today when H. H. M otter, state oil Inspector, said be bad been asked to consent to the selline- of S.00i) gallons of gasoline fluid in CoffeyvlUe lor 'cleaning purposes only." Recently tive tank cars of the fluid were shipped Into Coffeyville from Nowater, Okla. The company that shipped It In advertised it as "Bineo Gas" and offered it at the extremely low price of 10 cents a gallon. DW Not Come Vj to Requirements, inspectors from Mutter's office test ed the liquid and found that it did not come up to any of the test re quirements for rasoBne. Company of ficials then sought to evaie the test requirements by stating that they were not calling It gasoline but were advertising it as "gas.'" However, this ruse did not work and when the state department locked up the cars the company officials asked permission to sell the 50.01i gallons for cleaning purposes. Motter said this might be permitted with, the understanding that every purchasers sign aa affidavit to the effect that he was buying "gas" for cleaning purposes and for no other purpose. Hotter today gave out complete fig ores on the shortages found at filling stations durii'g the month of June. The figures show that more than 1 100 pumps wre tested an.i that only 3S4 were found to be O. K. only 5 giving more than full measure and that S41 were giving short measure One hundred and seventy-four were so badly off that they were condemned and put out of commission. They Got .Short Measure. Jlotter estimates that customers patronizing stations using short measure pumps were "short-measured' out of 255. 434 gallons of gasoline dur ing June, which represents I45.9S7.4S that the filling stations received for gas which their customers did not get. During the month 1.2i) filling station oil measures were tested. Of these 345 were found O. K. and 15 were found to hoid more than the legal measure. However. 419 were found to be short and of these 335 were con demned and thrown out of use. Motter said these figures were given to Paul Tmsdell. said to be checking np on the state oil department for the oil dealers, and he said his records were shown t.5 Trusdeli. "I canmt understand how he can say that he has found no evidence of ehort measurements under these con ditions." Motter said. Chief Big Hawk, at tbe Senecil Nation. T". S.
