He was cheered wildly and immedi ately upon the conclusion of his rpocoh the convention passed a reso lution conveying to the American Federation of Labor its appreciation of the attitude expressed by Mr. Berry.

The is sue of national adjusted compensa tion for the ex-service man has not been at all settled, John G. Emery, national commander of the American Legion declared here today in his ad dress opening the third annual con vention of tho legion. "Such means are were used last summer to heat adjusted compensa tion cannot ultimately succeed," Com mander Emery told the legion. "Nothing is settled until it is settled right. "The American people are the court of last resort and wherever the American people have by the ballot passed judgment on the matter of ad justed compensation that judgment has been n endorsement of the le gion's stand. "I cannot conceive of a congress so derelict in its duty, so unmindful of its just obligation to those who served their country at great financial loss, or so blind to the wishes of our peo ple as to be misled again into refus ing to adjust the economic balance be tween the i..an who went to war and the man who did not." Veterans Hit Hardest. Commander Emery reported that "in the face of adverse industrial con ditions, which have hit the ex-service men harder than any other class, the legion has gained in strength and its financial position has steadily im proved." He suggested that the political clause in the Legion's constitution, which "will not permit any one who holds or is seeking a salaried elective office to hold office in the Legion or in any department or post thereof,", be extended to include appointive of fices. He added that he felt that "no person in public life, in community, state or nation, should be allowed to speak for the Legion, and that the Legion must be allowed to continue to speak for itself when issues involv ing service men are concerned, and then in terms which all the world will understand. i Commander Errury paid high trib ute to the late ommander Frederic W. Galbraith, Jr., who was killed in an automobile accident. He said hu one aim l.ad been to carry thru the great program which Commander Galbraith had left unfinished. A notable public service of the past year, Comj. ander Emery pointed out, was the "frustration of a nation-wide German propaganda campaign in the United States." This, he said, was to start with a series of "Khine Horror" meetings. "The notorious propagandist, Von Mach, believed he had so cleverly con cealed his motives that he asked Gal braith to .speak at the first Rhine Horror meeting at Madison Square Garden," Commander Emery said. "As you will remember. Galbraith did not wait that long before he spoke. He told Von Mach on the spot what he thought of him and his project. The legion prepared immediately to organize counter demonstrations wherever the pro-Germans might carry out their pre-conceived pro gram. Most of these meetings were never held, however, for Von Mach abandoned his scheme after one dis astrous attempt at Madison Square Garden." Veterans Bureau Is Victory. The greatest legion achievement of the year, Commander Emery said, was won for the disabled service men, its vigorous efforts resulting :"n creation of the Veterans bureau. "The last national work undertaken by the legion has been for the relief of comrades who are unemployed," Commander Emery continued. "It la a duty of the legion to extend every aid to thtse comrades and m duty which I know the legion will not fail to perform." he said. France to consolidate the numerous veterans associations there Into one united and effective body. "It is a singular tribute to us that the name Proposed for the new organization is Legion Francaise," he noted. "In Great Britain, too, the American Le gion Is the pattern after which the ex-service groups are being reformed and brought together under tie lame of the British Legion.

STOPS J3HECK OFF Judere Anderson Issues Federal Injunction Against U. M. A. Calls Halt on Organizing West Virginia Coal Field. CGNSPIRAOY RESTRAINING TRA Claims Unions and Operators Combined to Control Coal. Body Blow Is Delivered to Union Labor, Say Leaders. Indianapolis, Oct. 31. An Injunc tion directed at stopping the U. M. W. A. from efforts to unionize the Williamson coal field in West Vir ginia, where miners have been on strike for more "than a year, was is sued today by Federal Judge A. B. Anderson, on the ground that the union was seeking to restrain trade. After Judge Anderson's an nouncement of the order, some delay in its formal issuance was occasioned by a discussion between court and counsel as to the exact text of the order. Conspired With Operators. The court did not deny the right of workers to organize but held the min ers' efforts in West Virginia were in furtherance of a conspiracy with op erators in organized union fields to shut off the competition of the non union mined coal. In discussing with counsel the text of the order, Judge Anderson said he would not enjoin "peaceful efforts" of the union to organize West Yir gina. Further in the discussion the judge said, "I am holding the effort to unionize West Virginia is unlawful in itself because it is an effort to sup press competition." The judge also said he would enjoin the "check-off" system in the central competitive field. comprising the bituminous coal field districts of Illi nois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Penn sylvania. The injunction applies vir tually to all Indiai.a operators using the "check-off" system by which op erators collect miners union dues. Body Blow to Labor. The decree, which union leaders have declared is a body blow to or ganized labor, "will embarrass, but not destroy" the miners organizations, of ficials of the United Mine Workers de clared. Judge Anderson's action was taken in the suit .of the Borderland Coal company, representing sixty-two other concerns operating in the Mingo jcoun- field of West Virginia, in which in junction to abolish, the "check off" system and to prevent interference by the United Mine Workers with the operation of mines in that field, was asked. Declaration that he would issue the injunction was"made by Judge Ander son, after John L. Lewis, president of the United .Mine Workers, refused to agree to suspend efforts to unionize that field. The courl expressed the belief that combination in restraint of trade, in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act, to limit the production of coal shipped in interstate commerce from West Virginia had been established and that the effort to unionize the West Virginia mines 4s an effort to monopolize the coal industry of the United States. Go to the Supreme Court. Washington, Oct. 31. Judge Ander son's injunction decree, handed down in Indianapolis today, undoubtedly will be carried to the United States supreme court, labor leaders here pre dicted this afternoon. "The supreme court has held time and again that labor has the right to organize in unions," said E. C. Da vison, secretary of the International Machinists' association. "There will be more heard of this decision of Judge Anderson's." 'If the women of this country would rise up and act, they could force Judge Anderson to rescind that decision," said "Mother" Jones, the friend of the miners, "but they won't," she con cluded, with a sigh. "They're such a sentimental lot." Applies to Whole Fnlon. The temporary injunction granted, while it applies specifically only to twu members of the executive board of the United Mine Workers and to a long list of Indiana operators, in ef fect applies to the union as a whole and to every operator in the country operating under the check off system. The decree bars the sending of money for any purpose except relief funds to be agreed upon later, to West Virginia miners. Altho the formal decree was not to be made public until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Judge Anderson made known his decision in a statement from the bench, frankly expressing the opinion that he has no doubt of a gi gantic conspiracy between operators and miners to restrain competition and that the trouble in West Virginia has been due to an attempt to' bring the only open competitive field into the combination. She Shut Her Eyes And Her Shot Killed Chicago Woman Declares Head of Billposters' t'nion Was Beating Her SUtor Had Never Fired Revolver in Her Ufo. Chicago, Oct. 31. Two women were held today in connection with the slay ing of James Besant, former business agent of the Billposters union. He was shot to death by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Edward J. Dillon, one of the women in custody. Besant's wife, the other woman, was present, at the shooting. "I never fired a pistol before in my life, but when I saw him beating my sister, I just shut my eyes and pulled the trigger, said Mrs. Dillon. Mrs. Rose Grath. Besant's married fister, who was in the Dillon home at the time of the tragedy, charged, how ever, that the labor leader was de- liberately murdered. A suit for divorce filed by Mrs. Besant was pending. WHERE AMERICAN LEGION MEETS IN 1 It Xr-nV!" -JrMU In this hall the American Legion is this week holding its third annual convention.

According to conservative estimates of attendance, Topeka will again have by far the largest crowd of teachers at the annual convention of the Kan sas State Teachers' association, open ing Thursday. "A very conservative estimate will place the Topeka attendance at 6.000; Wichita, 4.000 and Salina and Pitts burg, 2,500 each," P. L. Pinet, secre tary of the association, stated today. Pinet will remain in Topeka thru out the convention, instead of visiting all four of the cities in which it is held. E. E. McDanieT, assistant to Pinet, will go to Wichita to handle the Wich ita section, tonight. Miss Grace M. Parrish, who has been in charge of the teacher placement bureau of the association, will go Tuesday to Salina to supervise the meeting there. The convention at Pittsburg will be in charge of Prof. L. A. Guthridge of the faculty of the State Normal Training school there. Professor Guthridge has handled the meeting during the p&et two years. "In cape there is trouble somewhere, a speaker fails to arrive, or something of that sort, I can handle it easier from right .here in Topeka, than if I were on the ground. I will be in com munication, by long distance phone, with all the different sections of the convention," Pinet said this morning. At Salina it may be necessary to divide the general sessions of the con vention, and get additional teachers, if the attendance continues to in crease, Pinet said. Trouble In Rooms. "They are having the same trouble In getting rooma fer the teachers in all of the cities. Topeka isn't alone In that," Pinet said in discussing the room shortage. The office staff at the Chamber of Commerce is today receiving the names and addresses of many women with rooms which wi.U be available for the teachers, but there are not enough rooms yet. and the Chamber makinir everv effort ?lfjfyl .vTl of Ccmmerce is to secure additioal quarters for the visiting teachers. There is a special scarcity of rooms for teachers who will be in Topeka for only one night, it was reported at the Chamber of Commerce office.

Cost of producing electric "juice" to light the homes, stores, and offices of Topeka has gone up considerably and will stay at peak price for thirty days, according to figures made public todav by the Topeka Edison company. But the increased cost or tne juice will not be reflected in an increased cost to users.

Baer, .that his company had been notified by jvir. ruruy ui tut; i 3 that they could not supply an addi tional 30 or 40 horsepower needed for the operation of a refrigerator plant which Mr. Baer's company desires to install. You should know that this commit tee has not approached anybody directly connected with the Edison, company. This is only because we have felt that sufficient information is at hand to justify a report to you and that you should and would wlh to direct the further course. If any, to be pursued. Broadly speaking, we are convinced that the Chamber of Commerce faces a real problem, and should take im mediate, very definite and somewhat radical steps if we are to adequately meet the electrical power needs of the city. We are certain that the Edison plant may very fairly be character ized as obsolete, incapable of being modernized in any. way that could be considered practical; and in con sequence of the fact there is no sat isfactory or permanent solution of our light and power problems either as to quantity of power or reasonableness of cost short of an almost entirely new and modern source of electric power supply. Municipal Power. We are convinced that the happiest solution when considered alone from the standpoint of the best Interests of the city as a whole would result from, increasing the capacity of the city plant to a point when all, or at least a considerable portion of the power and lighting needs could be supplied ny it. in tnis connection 11 may ne or interest to the board to know that th capacity of the present city plant greatly in excess of present or any nearby pro .pectlve future needs for street lighting and that the equipment ;s new and strlrtly modern. Further, we have reason to believe that a very considerable sum of mon ey will remain unexpended from th issue of bonds for the new water an4 light plant, which sum would go far toward enabling the city to Increa its capacity to a point that would make it adequate. It seems reasonable to assume ltt this connection that with a commer cial power demand that Justifies per ation of a modern plant of big capae ity very much lower rates than now in effect, both for lighting and power, might be depended upon. And ft would therefore follow that the street liKhting would also he at less cost, la thinking along this line the facts con cerned, the municipal power plant at Kansas City, Kan., will doubtless b interesting to this board. Need for City Plant. While we are inclined to the opinio that the needs for the development of city plant will become more and direction at this time, we are certain that it is the sincere desire of thi Chamber that nothing shall be don at any time which will justify the Edi son company in any feeling that they have been dealt with in any other thaai absolute fairness or even generositr.

Mo., Oct. 31. Nothing in closer to th he;irt of President Harding than to. make the relief for incapacitated war veterans absolutely complete; no man not in the eervice has a deeper appreciation of what that service meant, of the sacrifices made by the veterans, of the obligations in curred by the country, and no man Mi!! go further to minister to the true welfare of those who have been in the service and their dependents than the president of the United States, Vice President Calvin Coolidge told the national convention of the American Lesion here today.

You represent a new national con-,-ffeiousness.

Declares Yeterang Must Be Xore Active in Politics. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 31. Modifi cation of the political clause in the American Legion's constitution was urged at the Legio 's convention here today by Oscar E. Carlstrom of Aledo, 111., commander-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans, himself a member x of the American Legion. Capt. Carlstrom brought greetings from his organization. JThe patriotism which gave service in war can be translated into-a patri otism of service in timg -of peace and under our form of government can only be expressed by participation in the shaping of public policies ajid the choosing of men charged with the duty of carrying out those policies," Captain Carlstrom said.' "This means participation in poli tics, not necessarily partisan and in deed under no circumstances commer cialized politics. "What America and her states need today as much as any one thing is non-commercialized politics poli tics based upon integrity and sincerity of service to the state. What body of men and women can be looked to with greater confidence to lead and strengthen such movement than the service men and women? "Had the American Legion and kindred service organizations a deter mined and aggressive policy looking to the support in a united way of those men who would support and give de cent consideration to their interests, there might not now be the lack of adjustment economically that exists between the condition of the service men and those who fattened by un conscionable profits and contract set tlements during and after the war. Soon-er or later it must and will come. Let us act now." The Legion's constitution prohibits anyone who holds or is seeking a sal aried elective public office to hold office in the Legion or any department or post thereof. x As representating the United Span ish War Veterans, Commander-in-Chief Carlstrom urged complete co operation between all veteran, organi zations. "The Spanish War Veterans tender this co-operation and ask the Ameri can Legion for it," he said. "Many men are holding membership in "both organizations.'

Frederic J Haskln, Director, Washing ton, D. C. Citizens of Topeka are entitled to feel a certain degree of pride over the fact that they live in the fastest Brow ing city In Kansas. The report issued by J. C. Mohler. secretary of the state board of agriculture, and compiled from returns wf the tax assessors, shows that the city's population has Increased nearly 5,000 4.839 to be exact In the past year. There is no substantial reason why these figures cannot be duplicated or even exceed ed during the current year if dwellings and business houses in sufficient num ber can be provided for the increas ing population. There' is much build ing of residences In progress at this time, but not enough to supply the steadily increasing demand. In the matter of business houses there is no place for a new firm to find shelter. More co.-imereial buildings must be erected If rents are to be prevented from becoming prohibitive. Washington reports that Mrs. Hard ing has started a social war by smash ing the Historic custom which gave the ladies of the cabinet precedence In the social line over wives of senators. Mrs. Hardins herself has been the wife of a senator, and knows what it means to be outranked by the wlv- of cabinet officers. It is the first time that a senator's wife has had an op portunity to even up an old score. "It is better to buy a home before buying an auto," says Forbes Maga zine. Sure, then you can mortgage the home and pay for the auto. Jay House wants to know why a man drinks more now than he did before national prohibition became ef fective. Probably it is because of a feeling of uncertainty regarding how long liquor will be available. With the prospect constantly before him that the supply soon may run out isn't It perfectly natural that he should make the most of his obportunity

THE RAILROAD SIDE. The head of one of the great farm organisations has declared that unless the railroads pass the wage reduc tions along to the shippers in the form of reduced rates his organization will back up tha brotherhoods In their fight against reductions in wages. The suggestion that freight rates be reduced without further reduction of wages is based upon an apparent be lief that the public has not already received any benefit from the wage reduction which was made by the la bor board, effective July 1, 1921, says a statement issued by the railway ex ecutives. The statement in part fol lows: Thousands of readjustments have been made, as promised by the car riers, to restore recognized and well established relationships. These, with few exceptions, have been reductions, and all subtract from railroad net Income. Substantially all changes In the classification of freight that have been made have been reductions, because the classification committee was un der instructions to observe the gen eral policy of making no changes which would result in increased rates. In addition there have been many subtantial reductions of commodity rates. Whether made to recover or retain traffic agnist steamship, motor truck or other forms of competition, to facilitate the export business of the country, to adjust the rates from one source of production to meet those irorn anotner, iu rBHLuiw ui numutaic the movement of a commodity which may have been retarded, or to assist producers who have been especially affected by the depression and read justment of business, the reductions have subtracted an enormous amount from the aggregate revenue which It was computed by the commission would accrue to the carriers. To Il lustrate: Rates on livestock have been re duced 25 per cent, and orf copper bul lion 25 per cent. On lumber from the Pacific coast, approximately 10 per cent; from New Orleans and Gal veston to New York, from 85 to 40 per cent; on eotton from Gulf ports to New York, from 20 to 25 per cent. Hates from the Pacific coast have been Tduced on apples, fresh vegeta- bles, eaiUaloHpes and melons, from 10 to 12 per ceat; on canned goods from IS to IS per cent; on race about 14 per cent; ea dried beams and peas about 16 per cent; on dried fruit from 25 to 27 per cent. Rates on sugar from Pacific Coast to Middle West have been j-educed and a substantial reduction iu the rates from New Orleans to Texas is pending. Tha, Western lines acceded to a re quest of the California citrus fruit shippers for reduced rates; which "Will be made effective whenever the con currence of lines east of Chicago and Mississippi river shall have been obtained. he' railroad brotherhood chiefs claim that they have won a viotory in the strike settlement. But the fact re mains that the 12 per cent wage re duction on account of which, the strike order was issued still stands. What the railroad employes actually, ob tained was a place to allgjit without sustaining serious injury. The status of the questions of rules re-vision ani further wage reductions haa not been changed in the smallest particular. MUCH STIIili UNSETTLED. Following; the putting Into effect of the reduction in freight rates ordered by the Intel-state commerce commis sion the railroads probably will insist on a further cut in wages. Whether the railroad labor beard can manage them as well as it did the brother hoods remains to be seen. If it can there probably will be no further re duction in wages for several months. When the railroads went back to private operation, they asked relief from the burdensome wage costs. After close study of the. sftuation, the executives placed their minimum re quest at 16 per cent. The railroad labor board made an award of 12 par cent. This reduction has not kept pace with the lowered cost of living, and even with this downward revision, railway employes are, in effect, so far as the purchasing power of their serv ice is concerned, receiving higher wages than they obtained when their pay envelopes were the fattest. The railroad facilities of the coun try for the future should be consid ered. There is a constant clamor for rate reduction. Freight and passen ger tariffs are too high, when consid ered 'n relation to former schedules, and are seriously handicapping busi ness. Nevertheless if the carrier can not earn enough to provide an l im prove their equipment and psovide for maintenance and expansion, the ship pers and the traveling public will be the chief sufferers. Under the terms of the transporta tion act, the earnings of the railways were limited to 5 to 6 per cent on a conservative valuation for property account. The railroads are constant- Is needing money. They must obtain ibis from the savings of the people. Capital cannot be obtained today even By the government of the United States for less than the figure set by law for railroad earnings. The outcome of the strike does not settle merely the Question of a wage dispute between the railroads and their employes. It involves also the question of lower railroad rates and the best means of obtaining thtim. If the railroads are to suffer for the re duction In rates without compensatory concessions on the part of the em ployes, the country will pay the pen alty in the form of Inadequate trans portation. So far as the relative re turns to the railroads and their em ployes are concerned, the railroads are not making large profits. Railroaa workers are receiving higher pay than is current In comparand indus tries. Most of the railroads made a good showing as to net earnings during August. The figures show that the exhibit was made at the cost of the most drastic economies, skimping of equipment and curtailment of expen ditures ordinarily considered essential for equipment and general up-keep. According to reports filed with the interstate comtnjerce commission, tha railroads In August expended about $182,800,000 for maintenance pur poses which was a reduction of $151, 000.000, or 54.3 per cent, compared with the expenditures for that purpose In August, 1920. As a result of this parsimony, which, represents failure to make expenditures which absolutely must be made later, the railroads were able In August this year to show a net operating income of $90,200,000. In oter words, their entire net show ing was due to the neglect of needed expenditures and amounted to only three-fifths of this so-called saving. The compilations were based on the reports of 201 roads having a total mileage of 235,171. The total oper ating revenues for the railroads of the country In August amounted to $505. 099,000 which was 8.9 per cent less than during the same month last year. Operating expenses were $381,938,000, or a decrease ef 43.9 per cent com pared with the same menth last year. The mine operators In the West Virginia fields have positively refused to have anything to do with the U. M. W. A. Everywhere employe are as suming this defiant attitude toward union labor. It looks bad for the fur ture of the unions. The predicament In which organized labor finds itself in the United States can ba charged to unwise and reckless leadership. Nothing eould more strongly empha size the truth ef that statement than the action of the brotherhood heals In ordering a nation-wide rail strike. It was foredoomed to failure from the first, and can only result In victory for the public and disruption of the or ganizations, from which It will take decades to recover. This was appar ent to the railway executives, hencj their refusal to entertain any sugges tion of a compromise. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HA SKIN, Director, Washington, D. C. W HY IMITATE EUROPE? Washington, D. C, Oct. 28.--A com posite photograph of a group of minor European diplomats is what the aver age American young man will look like next spring, if the tailors and the makers of ready-to-wear clothes have their way, as doubtless they will. It has already been announced that the clothes designers, like all the rest of the world, will descend upon Wash ington when the armament conference opens, for the express purpose of studying the clothes worn by the dele gates and modeling their 1922 offer ings after them. We will be treated to Lloyd George collars and Briand pockets. All Euro pean diplomcy will be represented in the spring style books. But the clothes will not really be modeled upon what the areat men wear. Whether it is a significant fact or not, great men are very seldom good tailors' models. Briand is anything but dressy, and Lloyd George's trousers seem often to bag at the knees, according to the photographs. There is not anything striking about Clemenceau's garb exr cept that he wears black gloves in the house a habit which even a Europen precedent probably would not serve to popularize in this country. The clothes will really be modeled after those worn by the young strip lings who will come over from Europe in various capacities, secretarial, so cial, and purely ornamental. These imported exquisites will have trous seaux like brides. Their great func tion will be to drink the oceans of tea and other liquids set forth by Wash ington hostesses, to dance with the debutantes, and possibly to marry a few of the well-endowed ones, thus cementing international alliances and recouping individual European for tunes, as the United States treasury has recouped the national finances of our allies. Doubtless these European attaches will be very well groomed, and doubt less American youths might do worse than to lock like them, but the ques tion surely is legitimate why in this as in so many other ways, we should be an imitation of Europe. Apparently there is no such thing as an American style. The highest rec ommendation your tailor or haber dasher can give anything is that it is now being worn in London, just as the ladies look to Paris for styles. It is bad enough thus for the whole male America to he trying desperately to look English while his better half tries to look French, but surely it will be confusing if our daring and original designers are going to try to make us look like the whole continent of Eu rope all -&t once, with perhaps an ori ental touch thrown in. It is also curious that a nation which prides itself on its inventive ness and its independence should be! content in so many matters to be mere ape of other nations. For it is not only in matters of clothing, but In manners and customs, In literature and art, we are, or have been until quite recently, docile followers of British and other European models. This is still more strange when you take into accont the widespread American Shibboleth that this is the most perfect country in the world. Recently a part of the American pub lic at least has shown a tendency to tolerate a more critical attitude tow ard if own land, but in general it has been the American custom to pro claim America a great Improvement over Europe in every way. Imitation is always a confession of a feeling of inferiority. If you feel superior you imitate nobody. Why. then, if we are really so proud of ourselves, do we imitate those inferior European nations in so many ways? The American doughboy often came back from Europe sneering at the "frogs' and the "limeys," all too evi dently having failed in any genuine appreciation of France and England. Yet he gets back into citizens clothes that are imitations of English models. More than likely he reads English books, or American books that are Imitation of English books. If he goes In for society he encounters English accents and English manners and goes to English teas. Among people who aspire to be considered socially smart, tha highest recommendation you can give anything is to call it English. We have bungalows in the English style, and also estates and clubs. In our cookery, on the other hand, we imi tate the French, and any hotel which aspires to be considered first cass must print at least a part of Its menu in a language which scarcely any of Its patrons can read. Architecture Imported. Our architecture is a horrible hodge podge of all European styles of all ages Gothic, English manor, Greek classic, and a dozen others. Our fur niture must be modeled after that of Louis the Quince or some other Eu ropean monarch long dead. The near est thing to an American architecture so far at all widely used is the so-called Colonial type, and that is really Greek in its origin. The only indigenous type of furniture is the heavy two-by-four stuff known as Mission, and it is for the most part ugly. So our whole country, with its boast of superiority, is in manners, dress, customs, architecture, furniture, food, and to a great extent in its art and its literature, a poor imitation of a great many European models. The only distinctive thing about it in these regards is the jumbled quality which comes of promiscuous lmitativeness. It must be said that in literature during the past ten or fifteen years, and especially since the war, the United States has made something of a declaration of independence. A whole crew of novelists, poets, and critics have sprung into action, who write about American life as they know it. and whe are not conspicuous ly indebtedto foreign models for any? thing in their viewpoint or method. In architecture, a small but hardly native tendency is gaining ground In the southwest, and some really attrac tive buildings have been built on de signs evolved from the pueblos of the Indians. American art also now fol lows the American scene more closely, deals less in mythical subjects, runs less, persistently to Europe for its edu cation and inspiration. Why should we not. In, our clothes and manners and foods also dare to be ourselves? It is not seemly that the greatest nation on earth should be a composite imitation. What have we, besides ehewing gum and candidates for office, that is really 100 per cent American? LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOX BY LEB PAPE.

Tl3 Dangerous Age -2. At 30 the unmarried woman is apt to get into a blind pania over being an old maid. She suddenly realizes that all of her girl friends are married and settled. So are most of the men with whom she started out to play with as a girl. It is also forcibly borne in upon her that a new genera tion of mere children is monopolizing the ball room floor, and that they look upon her as an aged part who should be content to retire to the side lines and watch the game instead of taking a part In it. Then it is that a woman loses her head and marries any man who asks her. Then it is she marches to the altar with the poor widower with seven small children, of the old suitor whom she has refused a. hundred times before, but whom she grabs at last in her desperation. The most dangerous age of all to women, however, comes about 45. It is at this age that the married woman i3 in peculiar peril because it is then that she realizes that for her. the last call had come for the dining cap, and that if she is ever to taste again the bread and wine o romance, she must do it quickly. It's now or never for her. She wants to be told once more that she is beautiful. She wants to feel again that she has the power to thrill a man. She wants to hear some good, hot sizzling love talk. She wants one more draft of youth, and all that went with youth, and to get it she will risk not only her immortal soul, but her bread and butter; and shopping ticket and limousine. If there were any amulets that would protect a woman of forty-five against the dangers of her time of life. Heavens knows she should be strung with them from head try toot. The dangerous age beeins for at man about 50, and the quieter and more domestic man he has been, the greater his peril. If your. will notice the ac- counts of the men who fall into the clutches of adventuresses, or the men who are the heroes of unsavory scan dals, or the men who run off with chorus girls, .you will see that they are nearly all between 50 and 60 years old. Up to tthat time, the average man is so busy making his money or climb ing up in his profession that women scarcely count in his life. Having achieved his goal he begins to think of amusing himself, and then the sirens getfiim. He knows nothing of the arts and wiles of the sisterhood, and any girl baby can make him be lieve that she loves him for himself alone even while she is robbing him of the very shirt uponflhis back. When a man waits until he is mid dle aged to take his lay time he finds it a costly business, for trte piper al ways charges an extra price when the old dance. Happy the Tibetans who know just the dangerous age and have a charm against it. Alas, with us the years of indiscretion are many, and we have no magio that prevails against their dangers. (Copyright, 1920, by tee WStelai CyniJIcata lac) George Matthew Adams Daily Talk BUOYANCY OF TEMPERAMENT. Strive as we all will, the general train of our emotions and passions seem to find about-the same route to cover. Neither education nor extreme good fortune over others comes in to save us. We are all- inheritors of moods and worries. But it is possible for anyone to be come a master of himself in lesser or greater degree. The power of the will and the imagination may be mus tered for service. Thru persistent ap plication and great patience, we may create within ourselves a buoyancy of temperament that may well be the envy of others. I have noticed that those who sup press most, carry the heaviest bur dens. He who in the midst of sorrow or disappointment keeps his load te himself and thru no outward mani festation gives vent to his feelings, is almost always the most unhappy. Whereas he who gives way to his grief in tears or expression of some sort, soon rises to a steady handling of himself. How many smiling faces mask a grave of suffering! It is this buoyancy of temperament that brings out many a sun into an otherwise dark day and which teaches forbearance, tolerance and generosity. Tillers of the soil when gathered to gether, talk over about the same prob lems. If we have worries, so has the other fellow. But if we bring light into the day that is given to us, the darknaes that had shadowed other lives, is at once made less deep and dense. How our personal assets rise and take on new values the minute that we come in contact with some buoyant- temperament! The world doesn't seem to lack for trouble. And most o its problems are quite complex. But for the tempera ment that has learned noiselessly to drop things of worry and disturbance all along the way, there abides a all along the way, there a beauty ana a satisfaction that we may all well seek. Evening Story The Lonesome GirL BY CLARISSA MACKIE. Miss Dalloe came idly down the hundred wooden steps that led to the beach. Abeve htr rose the bold head land thrusting into the sound its sand-faced slopes, its crown of cedars, oaks and locusts! where, hidden among the trees was her father's country home; a few other handsome places were scattered along the point of land, the houses concealed in the woods; long flights of wooden steps wriggled down the slopes to bath houses and boathouses, each with lit tle wooden piers running out to meet the tide. The tide was coming in rapidly; In fifteen minutes it would surround the big rock that marked the outpost for safo bathing. The beach was de serted and a cold wind was coming out of the northeast, yet poised on the big rock a girl's slener figure was silhouetted 'against the primrose of the evening sky. Paula Dalloe frowned. "Little fool!" she muttered impa tiently, and ran down the remaining steps to the hard white sand: when she reached the big rock, she drew back from the flying spray as the waves broke against the base. "Can you swim?" she celled to the girl on the rock. The girl turned a pale, determined face. "No," she said flatly. "Then you1 must come down at once you will be drowned!" "It doesn't matter," said the other dully, and turned away to stare at the far horizon. "Why how absurd!" The girl spoke over her pretty shoulder, impudently. "Does it matter to you particu larly?" "Of course don't you think you had better come down and talk things over with me you might change your mind." "Never never never!" cried the girl passionately. "There is nothing to care for no one to care it's my own life Jf I want to go that way; it's my business." "We cannot shout at each other this way come down for a while, and if you must go back, later very well It's your life," suggested Paula. "If you won't interfere with my go ing back I'll come for a while the tide is so slow," conceded the girl as she slipped wearily down the shore side of the rock and joined the other. They sat down on the sand in the aft erglow of the pale sunset. "Who are you?" asked Miss Dalloe, with a puzzled look at the small elf like figure, the really beautiful face and sad eyes of the girl. "I've seen you somewhere." "You saw me last night I was sing ing in the chorus of the 'Sea Maid' at the entertainment in tho big house yonder." She nodded toward a glimpse of red-tiled roof in the dis tance". "Aha at the Ealings I remember, you were the smallest girl at the very end." The girl nodded. "Who are you?" she asked bluntly. "Paula Dalloe." "Your father the rich Dalloe you live up here?" She glanced up. the slope. "Didn't you want to return with the company this morning?'' "No; I was sick and stayed over. They were kind; the housekeeper sent me to the beach to get the air and I thought it was the best way out." "Out of what? Tell me, please." Paula smiled and laid her strong brown fingers on the delicate hand of the younger girl. "Everything! I am all alone In the world--orphan asylum you know- and then the stage and I met him he's fine the best In the world but we lost each other. I know his name, but I won't seek him, because "Because "Well, I'm not In that class, Sliss Dalloe. I haven't had much educa tin, but he said it didn't matter be cause my heart was right, and I'd learn, and we'd be happy. He told me about his house, and how, when we were married, I would be the mis tress. It scared me I was afraid ef all the folks he knew and so I left the company I was with and ran away and he never could trace me. This is two years ago, but it hurts yet." She stared straight ahead with unseeing eyes. "I am sorry," said Paula gently. "Don't you think you should let him know where you are ho may be very unhappy." "I couldn't. I'm not his sort. When we were together it seemed easy, but after he went I thought of his grand friends and the disgrace I would bring upon him." "I am afraid you haven't treated him very well." "He has forgotten by this time," said the girl, sullenly. "Will you tell me your same?" "Evalyn Clark." Won'tyou come and stay a few days with me, Evalyn, up at my house? Perhaps the change will do you good. You can telephone to your manager." "Visit you?" "Yes." "I cannot. It hurts me to go Into people's homes. I never had one nothing but the asylum and cheap boarding houses. It is nice of you to ask me. I'm only in the chorus, Miss Dalloe, but it makes me sick for a home, so I've thought that my Ufa is my own, and I'd go to my own folks and not be lonesome any more. You understand?" She arose, poised for flight. "Yes, but you must not taks your "You said I could go back," defied the other as she went away. A footstep sounded on the steps above. Paula sighed relievedly as she waved a welcoming hand to the young man in white flannels. She almost loved Barry Lane at that moment she had dallied dangerously with the question for months rfor he was so dependable, so sure to be there when needed. Now he could take the ob durate girl and convince her that her life did matter. She watched his keen dark face as she gasped a few words of the story. "Save her, Barry, If you love me," she ended weakly as she followed her flying steps. As he reached the top of the rock the girl leaped into the water, now pounding against its gray sides. It was Paula who brought her in, strug gling, defiant, like a half-drowned kitten. "Take her, Barry, while I wring myself dry," she panted as she laid the little chorus girl in his a-ms. His silence surprised her. He was looking down at the wet face, with its dark wet curls, its wide joyous eyes; his own eyes were incredulous. "Evalyn darling I've searched the world for you I'll never let yeu go again." He was kissing her. "Barry Barry I wasn't running after you," protested the proud little voice. Paula Dalloe saw them together; weighed their -love for each, other against her portion of wealth, position and possible happiness, and a wry lit- WHILE THE REST tie smile edged her perfect lips. She shivered In the cold wind. "Come home. Evalyn and Barry," she urged, smiling down at them as the man carried his love up the long flight of steps; and the girl that went before, who had so nearly loved him, remembered' hew her ancestors had fought grim battles with smiling faces set to the foe, and as she went for ward there was courage in her eyes and a gallant swing to her shoulders. "Come home," she said again. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE NEW GENERATION Eg MNE PHELPS A CHANGE IS WROUGHT IN MARGARET. Chapter 55 Without In the least realizing tb-f cnange, Margaret Haydea was trans formed within a few weeks from a merely beautiful, dignified, interest ing young woman the mother of a young girl into a living, throbbing personality; a woman whose cheeks paled and flushed at nothing but her thoughts who smiled at herself in the mirror, and who walked softly thru a succession of roseate dreams. It had all come about so simply. .Craig Forrester's return, his question regard ing H-udson Baker, then the feeling of happiness. Life suddenly ceased to be compli cated. Margaret was satisfied just to live on enjoying to the utmost the feeling of content that had come to her. She even forgot to worry about Joan and almost decided to send for her and confess she had come to to New York to be young ones more, to live as she never could live in the town where she was classed as old, because she was the mother of a grown girl and had been, in a very slight way, intimate with people older than she. "I'll wait just a little longer," she said to herself. "Perhaps she wouldn't understand," then blushed violently at the thought Implied. Margaret had learned much since her arrival in New York, most of it from Mrs. Walters and her associates. She had learned many ef the secrets ef the toilet heretofore a locked book to her. She had learned the art of being perpetually fresh and charming, learned to care for her beauty until it bloomed with added lustre as the days passed, learned to love soft pow ders and rare toilet waters, tine linens, real laces, silks and satfhs. All these were no particular strain upon her puree, at least she could afford them without cramping herself. For years she had not spent her income, even tho it never had been large, so she could now be as dainty as she pleased. Sometimes she thought of marriage as she listened to the talk going vn about her, and as she listened she formed her own ideas, found her own viewpoint upon the subject. She never would marry just for money, but as certainly she would not mary a man who could not give her at least as much as she had now, and an added position In society. She flushed crimson when her cogi tations reached this point. Craig For rester, dillettante, scioq of an old and aristesratie family, wealthy, compan ionable and sought after, was very at tractive to her. That was as far as she got awning he pleased her taste. now grown fastidious. Joan did not like him, but would she like any man who paid her mother attention? Mar garet thought not. And now she did not cringe at the Idea of displeasing Joan as she had in the past. She was living now, not existing, and the very fact that she was living gave her a sure Independence of thought and feel ing unknown in the past. Margaret marveled at the attitude of the men she met, they seemed so inclined to flatter, to pay attention, yet to evade any serious attitude. It was with a generous satisfaction she presently came to realize that Craig Forrester was different; that he was more serious-minded, even while tno- entertairinar than the others. "He isn't afraid some women will OF THE WORLD SAYS marry him!" she said to herself, "as are a lot of men. No woman could attach him. unless he were willing." Someway the knowledge gave her pleasure. For not only to her was Craig Forrester attractive, he was by way of being lionized by many so ciety women, and was continuously invited to their homes, flattered, and feted. "Tho way women throw them selves at Craig is ridiculous," Mrs. Walters once remarked to Margaret, "can't they see that he isn't the eort of man to be caught by such tactics?" Margaret made no reply, but was pleased that Janet Walters with all her worldly wisdom felt as she, Mar garet, did about Mr. Forrester. He was fast beeoming more than a mere friend to her. She was frankly de lighted when with him, and now that she saw him nearly every' 'day she recognized the fact that she, if not In love, cared very much for him, his friendship, v (Tomorrow Margaret's popularity increases.)

AMERICA LEADS IN WORK Movement Was Started by Sir Robert Baden-Powell. Interesting Story Told About Early History of Order. London. Oct. 31. According to fig ures compiled by the International Scout headquarters, there are over 2,000,000 Boy Scouts in the world today. Fifty-seven countries are now using the Boy Scout program., America leads all other scout organizations, with a membership of over 600,000.

Founded b.v Sir linden-Powell. Sir Robert S. Baden-Powell is the founder of the Boy Scout movement. He is at present chief executive of the Knglish organization, and is interna tionally proclaimed chief of the move ment, thruout the worid. Sir Robert distinguished himself during the South African war. 1S99-1D00. He became a hero of the British army at that time because of his va'or and the splendid management and preparation of his troops. In 1S93. Sir Robert was com mander of a. British regiment, and at that time he found by making a study of -his men, that the ordinary military training was not sufficiently practical. He therefore gave his men an addi tional training in scout craft and camping. A very interesting story is told con cerning bow this was brought to his mind so forcibly. At the beginning of the Boer war, Sir Robert was as signed to a regiment known as the Fifth "Dragoon Guard'. These men were the pick of London, both in physique and in training. It was found, however, that alter they were placed in the field in the South Afri can jungles, that they were entirely lost, and absolutely incapable of car ing for themselves under such condi tions. "A detachment of men was sent nut on a'scouting expedition, and upon losing their bearings, were unable to lin l their way back. S arching parties were sent out, and a f;e:- many days, the scouting party v.-.is found, sick and almost starved to drptli. One of the men in the party had a bag of corn in his mand, and was feeding this to a goat. This little i lftance demonstrated very clearly their unresourcc-f ulness. Had they -r,ly exerted their ingenuity they could J Tttvc ground the .corn -with stones, made a fire by friction, and killed the I ont. thereby enjoying an appetizing meal. Sir Robert realizing the inef f c:encies of the men, gave them a very definite training a'ong this line, arid v,-rcte a small book, entitled "Aids to Scouting." He went so far as to assign one of his aids to the task of organ izing a troop of South African boys into p. general utility corps. Experi ence taught that after his training was made to aopeal to them, boys would lnarn much more rapidly, and also thnt thoy were capable of taking re sponsibilities far greater than was or dinarily believed possible, if they were only trusted. This brings out a state ment made by John Wanamaker. "Serve a man, you serve one person; seive a boy. and you serve a whole multiplication tabic." Trninlnff Was Developed. Sir Robert developed this training along more extensive lines, and used practically the program as we are now presenting it to the boys thruout the country. A moral code was estab lished, and every man was trusted on his word to a very large degree, in carrying out his duties. On his return to England in 1903, Sir Robert found that the little book he had written, "Aids to Scouting," was being usad in training boys, and giving them instruction in observa tion, practical education, as well as st ens in character training. In 1907. he organized his first trial camp. This experiment exceeded his expectations, and prompted him to go on with the idea. By 1910 the movement had grown to such dimensions, numbering almost 200,000 that he felt It nec essary to retire from the army, and devote his entire time in promoting the Boy Scout program. In 1911, the movement was organized in America. Many boy workers all over the coun try were carrying on independent or ganizations, usyig Sir Roberts text book prior to this organization. How Organization Was Formed. The story of how the movement was conveyed to this county, is a very In terests one. "A very prominent and Influential man went on a business trip to Europe. On the morning that he entered London, he experienced the quite common London fog. Being unfamiliar with the city, and seriously handicapped by the fog, he did not know what steps to take. A young Knglish lad stepped up to him, dressed !n Scout uniform, and offered to carry k i J k Never say"Aspirin"without saying "Bayer Warning! Unless you th name f "Bayer on pacKage or on ju are not getting genuine Aspirin pre- H scribed by physicians for twenty-one years and proved safe by millions. Take Aspirin only as told in the Bayir package for Colds, Headache, Neu hi baggage, and direct him to his destination." This was merely the daily good turn, which every scout promises to do. This gentleman was so impressed with the young man, and his benevolence, that he returned to America with the statement, "Any movement which taught a boy the things which the Boy Scout program does, should certainly be made use of." SANTA FE, 4; MAYETTA, 2 Saffcll. of Local Team. Allowed Xo I Hits After First Inning. The Santa Fe baseball team defeat ed the Mayetta Braves on a muddv diamond Sunday, by a score of 4 to 2. The game was played at the Western league park, which was in bad shape as a result of the rain. Saffell. pitching for the Santa Fe team, allowed no hits after the first inning, and struck out ten Indians in the last five innings of the game. The Indians i.iade one of their scores in the first half of the first when E. Grinnell made a long hit and brought Crow in. Errors on the Santa Fe team accounted for the second Indian score m the second inning. The Santa Fe men scoring were D. Wells, -Herring, Peterson and Saffell. The game lasted only seven innings because muddy roads prevented the visitors from arriving on time, and compelled the playing of a seven-inning game. PARSONS HAS MOVIE STAR Za Su Pills Now Working With Eth.'l Clayton in Hollywood Studio. Parsons, Kan., Oct. 31. After two and a half years 2a Su Pitts, the Par sons motion picture actress, is back on the Paramount lot again at Holly wood, C'al., doing a character role in Ethel Clayton's new picture directed by Paul Powell, "For the Defense." "How Could You Jean" and "The Little Princecs" with Mary Pickford and "A Modern Musketeer" with Doug las Fairbanks are among the pictures in which the clever Miss Pitts ap peared for Artcraft. Prior to that she appeared in fifteen comedies with La ir'alle and worked for Universal. Brent wood and Robertson-Cole. She alEO did a part in "Men. Women and Money" for Paramount, in which Ethel Clayton was star. Parsons is the birthplace of Miss Pitts, who developed an original Vein of character delineation, that of the somewhat gawky, awkward girl who has, however, depths of character and at times manifests real charm and even beauty. Her present role is one demanding considerable histrionic tal ent, and as Miss Pitts is adept she will doubtless do it full justice. Jennie Dunn, the character. Is a girl who falls into evil ways and does time for theft. She is befriended by Anna Woodstock (Miss Clayton) and thereby develops the drama of the story, in which Jennie is arrested for the murder of Kasimir, a hypnotist, played by Bertram Grassby. A big court room scene and the trial are episodes of unusual interest in the production. Elmer Rice wrote the play which Beulah Marie Dix adapted for the screen. OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE.

Last week Baker lost to the Ichabods 17 to 16. Both Fairmount nnd Washburn were fighting hard in every nnnuto of the game. The only criticism that could possibly be advanced on the game, outside of the fumbling, would be on the "beefing." Both teams showed a marked tendency toward crabbing.- The referee was compelled several limes to call players, threaten them with penalties unless the crab bing was stopped. But the game as a whole was a thriller to the spectators. Fairmount scored in the first eight minutes of play on a beautiful forward pass,1 Kimel to McMahon. Washburn blocked the kick for goal. Art Brewster made a beautiful re turn of fifty-five yards on the Fair mount kickoff, and the Ichabods ad vanced the ball down the field to the twenty-yard line, where Stevens failed in an attempted drop-kick. Fairmount could not gain after the bali was put in play on their own twenty-yard line, and Cossman blocked a Fairmount punt and recov ered the ball on Fairmount's ten-yard line. Two successive fumbles, due to bad passes from center, cost the Icha bods a chance for a touchdown, and very nearly lost the game. On the second fumble- Vh;ttacre, brilliant Fairmount end, picked up the ball and had a clear field, but Brewster downed him on "Washburn's thirty-five yard line. The thrillers ceased for a time, and the half ended with Fairmount in pos session of the ball on their own twenty-yard line. In the second half, following an ex change of punts and downs, Euler made twenty yards on a beautiful right end run, placing the ball on Fairmount's twenty-five yard line. A few more plays advanced the ball fif teen yards. Then the mighty Brew ster was called into play. He smashed the line for two yards, seven yards, then over the goal. Stevens kicked goal, and the score stood. Washburn 7 Fairmount 6. Both teams opened up with an aerial attack at this period. Fairmount made several lateral passes, for gains but Washburn could not complete her attempts. Arthur Brewster was easily the in dividual star of' the game. His ball lugging was nothing but nerve. Stev ens generaled Brewster into action time and again and the lad was al ways good for ground. He will, in our opinion, wind? up his football ca reer with big honors if he keeps the present stride. Tired out at the end of the first half, Brewster kept right on, ajwaya good for gains; The jinx on stadium openings didn't hold at K. IT. Saturday, and the Jay hawkers defeated the K. S. A. C. team 21 to 7. The Aggies made their only tally in the last quarter. Kansas, like Washburn, scored her first touchdown in just eight minutes of play, when Spurgeon successfully bucked the line. Two minutes after the opening of the second quarter, the Jayhawkers scored again, following an exchange of punts, via the pass route. Again in the latter part of the sec ond quarter, a pass from Wilson to Griffin, over the goal line, netted the Kansas men a total of 21 points. But the Aggies didn't stop their hard struggling. Altho they gave no indication of having a chance, the Aggie men opened up a perfected pass attack in the last quarter and advanced the ball to the three-yard line, where Starke went over the line on an off-tackle play. Sebring kicked goal. The remainder of the time was spent in the middle of the field, with the Aggies taking long chances of improbable plays in a vain attempt to rally. The Aggie line, doped by those "who knew" to be impregnable, was easily penetrated by Clark's men. So it goes the best is none too good. Bethany college and the Haskell Indians both won games with out-of-the-state opponents. Bethany completely demoralized the defense of the Chilocco and won, 20 to 0, in a game that was played in a sea of mud. The Indians didn't threaten the Bethany goal once during the game, and were completely out played. Haskell, playing great ball, defeated Tulsa university at Kansas City, 21 to 0, in a game that was spectacular from first to final whistle. Levi, fa mous Haskell fullback. furnished plenty of thrills during the battle with hi3 miraculous runs and bucks. He made two cf the Indian touchdowns. The splendid organization of "Jazz Hounds" which the University of Oklahoma took to Lincoln, Neb., for the Nebraska conflict, did no good, if the score is to be judged. The Nebraska men staged a foot race with Oklahoma sadly the loser, and won, 44 to 0. Oklahoma, relying on her speed, was handicapped by the muddy con dition of the field, and the heavy Ne braska backs plowed thru the Sooner line at will. In the second quarter the Okla homans ran the ball down the field, steadily and consistently to the goal line, only to be cheated from the counter by an uncompleted pass over the goal. The headwork of "Chuck" Lewis, Missouri quarterback, won the game from Drake university Saturday after noon at Columbia, Mo., 6 to 0. On the kickoff the wily "Chuck" received the ball on his own 25-yard line, then punted immediately. The ball went to the Drake 30-yard line, and the Drake- men, taken by sur prise, allowed Kershaw, Missouri half back, to pick up the ball and race the remaining yards for a touchdown. It was the only counter of the game. A safety enabled Washington IT. to defeat Ames Saturday, 2 to 0. The single tally was made in the third quarter.

Xew York Trib- These four little words from the two leading musical critics of Amer ica, published following Percy Hemus' recent recital in New York City, clearly suggest the wonderful artistry of this popular American baritone, in the title role of Mozarts opera, 'The Impresario." Few artists in American musical life have enjoyed the lavish praise that has been accorded Mr. Hemus. The Cleveland, Ohio, Press recently referred to him as the master song interpreter." "Magnificent in dramatic fervor," said the Buffalo Courier. "He justifies the term recitar as few sing ers do," exclaimed the Kansas Citv Star following Mr, Hemus' appearance there. Percy Hemus is known from coast to coast as a singer and interpreter of songs, a master of Knglish diction and an artist bearing a true message. His voice is one of remarkable fine timbre, of unusual beauty, flexibility,, reson ance and power. He sings at all times with delightful ease.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1921 HE HASJIG JOB Secretary of Kansas Teachers' Ass'n Has Much Work. Must Eaise $50,000 Per Year for Convention. The job of being a hired man to 16.000 teachers is no snap. Some of the duties of the secretary are: To have charge of the publicity work; edij the Kansas Teacher, which has a circulation of 13,500; finance the en tire association, which means to raise $50,000 annually; to manage the teachers' placement bureau and dic tate 1,000 letters a week. The secre tary's position is no bed roses and when the annual convention of the Kansas State Teachers' asHociation is in sesHion. it becomes worse, as he has personal cha rge of the Topeka meetings, at which 7.000 teachers at tend and he has to keep In close touch with the other three conventions which are in sesMlon at the same time. rTo Secure Kiirollnioiit. The Kansas Htate Teachers asso ciation's financial existence depends upon the enrollment of every teacher, principal, superintendent, board mem bers and other persons who attend the rnpptiims.

The suc cess of the enrollment depends upon the assistant secretary at the conven tion. He acts as business agent of the association, at which meeting he serves, for he represents the secretary in all transactions. The secretary must see that the assistant secretary k&epa an enrollment force of sufficient numbers. xso duplicate enrollments will be made during the meetings. If any teacher loses, destroys, misplaces or leaves her enrollment slip at home, she must re-enroll and pay the mem bership fee of $2. After the conven tion is over she may write to the sec retary's office and make a formal claim for the amount. Funds Placed on Deposit. The secretary must see that the funds are banked properly. A certain bank is designated for each conven tion city where the funds must be de posited. It is also important tnat tne top portion of the membership card be saved for office record as that is the only way of insuring the sending of the Kansas Teacher to each mem ber of the association. The secretary must also see that satisfactory door keepers are furnished. The secretary must also see that the voting booth is taken care of. He must instruct tho assistant secretary about equipmentto use, the manner of voting, the districts to vote. Mail votes will oply be accepted when snt direct to the secretary's office in To peka. They must arrive not later than 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Thurs day, November 3. It is the duty of the secretary to instruct the assistant sec retary on how business may be con ducted at the regular sessions and how to file the official Report on the elec tion of officers. In the payment of speaker and talent, the secretary of the association sends a voucher to the assistant sec retary for the full amount. The sec retary then gives the voucher to tho proper person. Jf any speaker fails to arrive, the assistant secretary is instructed to ob tain the best local talent possible to fi-1 the vacancy. "When the speaker does not arrive or is unable to con tinue his schedule, the assistant secre tary must instruct tho assistant secre tary of the convention nt which he will next appear. The assistant sec retary is also instructed to co-operate with local papers and give them a maximum amount of publicity. VTCTOTI ARTISTS ARE COMIXG.

Now leading dentists everywhere ad visa their daily use. The methods are embodied in a scientific tooth paste Pepsodent. So all may regularly apply them. To countless homes they have brought already a new era in teeth cleaning. How film ruins Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary dentifrice does not effectively combat it. So, despite the tooth brush, it has caused tremendous damage. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. It forms the basis of tartar. It holds food sub stance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. It breeds millions of germs and they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Pepsodent combats these film caused troubles as nothing else has done. Combats acid Pepsodent also multiplies tha salivary flow. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of tha saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause decay. In these ways it acts as fruit acids do. With every use it multi plies Nature's teeth-protecting forces. Old methods had the op posite effect. Watch it act Send for a 10-Day Tube.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31', 1921 n v ,w 1 SINN FEI SURE Irish Councils' Believe Solution of Problem Is Sear. Unionist Censure Resolution in Parliament Is Doomed. REJECTION MEANS ENDOBSEME Lloyd George Looks for Over whelming Majority Vote. Liberals and Labor Party Are Behind the Cabinet. (By the Associated Pmi London, Oct. 31. Possible legisla tion to put the Ulster parliament in a better position was indicated by Prime Minister Lloyd George today in the house of commons in answering critics in the debate on the Unionist motion intended as a. censure of, the govern ment's Irish policy. London, Oct. 31t The innermost council:? ot the Sinn Fein are hopeful! or a settlement this week, it wast IearnecJ this afternoon. There weiv exchanges of communications between the Sinn Fein delegates and Dublin over the week-end. Charges Irish Parley Hopeless. Charging that the Irish peace con ference "has been hopeless from the start." Col. John Oretton. a coalition unionist, this afternoon in the house of commons, moved a vote of censure against Premier Lloyd George and the cabinet's Irish policy. "The government is seeking" a pre text to break off the conference," Col onel Gretton declared. The coalition unionist spcaker-vas greeted wim ironical cheers as he be gan to speak. It was admitted gen erally thruout the house that the reso lution was doomed and that the Lloyd George government would receive a big majority. Over the week-end in the seclusion of his country home at Chequers Court the premier had prepared his defense and it was generally expected that it would be the most brilliant oratorical effort of Mr. Lloyd George's long and spectacular public career. Rejection Means Indorsement. According to the program th speech was to be followed by a vote in commons upon the Unionist resolu tion, llejection of the resolution would mean endorsement oY Premier Lloyd George's Irish peace policy and a continuation of the Irish peace con ference. Acceptance of the resolution would me;in a lack of confidence in the premier's Irish policy and the consequent breaking up of the Irish parley. As the premier had been assured support by the laborites and the inde pendent liberals, he and his ad herents looked for an overwhelming majority in support of the cabinet and the Lloyd George Irish policy. Fireworks Are Promised. The promise of fireworks on the floor of commons, resulted in the crowded house with every member in his seat. i In the meantime, the Irish peace conference has halted its sessions. It is expected it will resume again to morrow at the premier's official resi dence at 10 Downing street. The crux of the Irish peace situation today was us follows: The Sinn Feiners are demanding that the proposed central parliament at Dublin shall be supreme and that any secondary legislature at Belfast must deal only with local affairs and he subservient to Dublin. The Ulster Unionists oppose this arrangement and demand an equal voice in Irish affairs with the Sinn Feiners. Vote; Also Decides U. S:-Trip. It was admitted In official circles that the premier's proposed trip to Washington is again hanging in abey ance and that it will depend entirely upon the outcome of the vote in com mons and the result of the Irish peace conference session tomorrow. It waa understood the premier in his speech would refuse to disclose the progress achieved in the Irish peace parley and would not discuss plans for the future, but would emphasize that the break off of the parley would mean the downfall of the coalition government and also intensified civil war in Ireland. The premier was ex pected to point out the tremendous price that Kngland would have to pay in money and blood if war were re sumed in Ireland. MAGAHA FALLS BANK LOOTED.

GUY SWALLOW, chief of police 'It's all right to have parties and a good time generally, but when it comes to destroying property I draw the line. That is a violation of law, and we are going to arrest everyone we can catch committing acts of vandalism. We will have 100 extra men on duty to night to preserve order and prevent property destruction." CONRAD NAGLE, city" clerk of Oakland "An innocent Halloween celebration is all right, but there is nothing gained by the destruction of property. It is wrong and should be punished. I think the authorities are right in their stand on this question." O. 'W. Hascall, boys' work secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., "I think it could be very largely improved upon. There is too much destruction of prop erty. The late hours of the Hal loween parties tend to take too much time away from the students les sons." "K. J.

The election will take place during the convention at Kansas City. Boiles has held office under three Legion national commanders. CITY LIGHT PLANT tContlnned. mm Fare Unci which interests this Chamber is sup posed to protect, it should at once in sist on a very prompt, unequivocal and definite statement from the Edison company covering what, if anything, they may absolutely be counted upon to do to afford adequate power (and of equal concern) whether suctti en largements would give assurance of ability on their part to provide current at a, reasonable, low cost, thug insur ing as favorable rates as are enjoyed by the other cities hereabout with which, we compete. I We not only recommend, but urge, that such a request be made upon the Edison company. We further venture th) suggestion that nothing can be gained, while on the other hand inter ests on both sides might suffer thru any publicity whatever concecning this matter at this time. City Take Over Lead. As to temporary but immediate patching up of the power shortage situation, based upon our understand ing that the Edison company is short of generative rather than distributing or Un capacity and on the further understanding that the city now has a very considerable power capacity rath er easily available for distribution in whatsis commonly spoken of as the wholesale district, we suggest the pos sibility of taking over by the city tem porarily at least, of a part of the load in that district with a view to releas ing Edison power now needed by the Topeka Packing company and others outside of the small distric mentioned. In making this suggestion, we do it realizing that perhaps both the city paltn and the Edison company might have objections which in themselves have merit. However, to us the mat ter seems invested with a certain meas ure of public or community interest such as would nevertheless justify the waving aside of all objection that in any way might be looked upon as trivial or technical. TakeOver Adams Street Station. Another possible temperary solu tion might be found in the fact that citv is about to abandon1 its old power Jplant on Adams street. We have aa- plant is"" aproximately 3,500 kilowatts. And we believe that the efficiency of the city plant is fully equal to that of the Edison. If now, some arrangement by purchase or lease could be made whereby the Edison company might acquire and operate this city plant the additional power would seem, to be made available. That you may get a somewhat et tpr idpa of thr situation, it may jnot be out of place to explain that Curing something like two years past state ments similar to those of Mr. Baer in relation to being refused power on ac count of no more capacity, have been made and so far as we have been able to learn from sources outsiae of the Edison organization- no actual move whatever for enlargement of capacity have as vet been attempted. You should know that during the nast two or more years there have been at least several other refusals of power by the Edison company on the plea of no more plant capacity ana that a part, at least, of these com plaints were referred to the industrial committee for such assistance as it might be able to render. The situation was taken up with the Edison com pany and considerably more than one year ago Mr. Purdy made the state ment before the members of the in dustrial committee that the company was about to install additional boilers and enlarge capacity and that this equipmen was already In the city. You should know that the equipment referred to by him Consists of second hand and antiquated type boilers and Corliss engine and that apparently no move has yet been made relative to their installation, the engine parts be ing still scattered about on the parK ing at the plant and the boilers1 re main where unloaded.' It should, however, be remembered that such an arrangement is bnt the merest makeshift and that while tem porarily we m!ght get power adequate as to amount it would come from two obsolete plants and therefore at pro duction cfsts that would perhaps be almost double that of a modernly equipped and economically operated plant. In conclusion, as in the beginning, we a&sert our belief that the situation is one calling for almost immediate definite and perhaps somewhat radi cal steps on the part of this chamber. (Signed GEO.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1921 III OPEN BREAK Chicago Police Chief and State's Attorney at Outs. Possibilities for Mayor's C hair Only Explanation. Chicago, Oct. 31. Politicians today were endeavoring to construe the sig nificance of the open break between State's Attorney Robert K. Crowe and. Chief of Police Charles Fitzmorris, over law enforcement in Chicago. Crowe says Chicago is running' wide open Kitzmorrig denies this. Crowe has started to prove the charges by instituting wholesale raids on alleged resorts and gambling plates; Fitzni or ris scoffs at the raids and suggests Crowe has pn "ulterior purpose." The situation is all the more curious because Crowe and l'itzmorris are both Republicans and have been known a 3 "Thompson men." Kitz morrts was appointed by Mayor Wil liam Hale Thompson and Crowe was elected on the Thompson ticket. Crowe declared he proposes to rlean up the city if he has to con tinue raiding every day. He charges that his work is handicapped because the police are "tipping off" prospec tive raids with a view of minifying their effect. He says it is Fitzmor ris job, any way, but as Fitzmorras "will do nothing," he will resume raiding. The chief, in a public statement, re ferred rather lightly to Crowe's gam bling crusade and then hurled this hot shot: "I do not intend to countenance the -use of the forty policemen I hp.ve de railed to the state's attorney office for ulterior purposes." Politicians so far have only one clue s to the reasons bark of the Crowe Kit zmorris break. Both men have tcen mentioned an possible candidates 'for mayor of Chicago at the next elec tion, MURDER PLOT IS UNCOVERED Ix-Pnemier of t-reere Is Carefully i unified on Trip to California.

TO ENTER MOVJETlELD Topeka Filmplay Will Be Produced f; by Kiwanis Club. A Topeka filmplay, acted by To pekans and every bi of the work of production done in Topeka, that is the announcement made by the officers of the Kiwanis club, which will enter the motion picture field for this one effort in the interests of the Associ ated Charities of the city. The club has leased the Grand theater for two weeks starting No vember 14 and for that period the Grand will cease to be a motion pic ture theater and become a motion picture studio. The club has engaged a corps of expert camera men, labora tory workers and scene carpenters from the Communty Photoplay com pany of Los Angeles for this work, headed by Charles Le Witt, as direc tor, these men arrived here ioday and began the preliminary work so that the shootingr of scenes can start prompty as eoon as the theater is turned over to theiYi. Vracticaily all the scenes of the so ciety drama, now being vritten will be "shot" on the stage of the Grand, tho there will ba several taken "in location" on Kansas avenue and at various important points of the city. All the'work'of taking the 151 scenes planned and the developing, printing, cutting, titling and screening of the finished product will take place In the Grand in full view of the public. Tlus will give Topekans a better chance to get on the inside of the motion picture business than even the residents of Hollywood, Cal. equipment valued at J25.O00 is be ing brought here for the work in hand. This includes a lighting plant with a possible 300,000 candle power, which in itself will be a feature of much in terest to the picture fans, as it gives a light even more intense than the sun and capable of burning the skin to an even more intense degree than the blaze of a midsummer sun on a bathing beaofe. Final arrangements for the produc tion of the picture are not entirely complete The Kiwanis club is now busy selecting the members of the casting committee which with the as sistance of Director Le Witt will pick fifteen Topekans who are to carry the important roles in the forthcoming photodrama as well as the liiO "extras" who will be needed in several of the scenes. tonight will empty your bowels com pletely by morning and you will feel splendid.

Efforts made by the American Legion to com bat the unemployment situation as it affects the former service man and the suggestion of remedies for the problem were set forth at length in the annual report of Adjutant Lemuel Boiles to the national convention of the Legion here today. Mr. Boiles suggested stimulation of public works, a more rigoroxis exclu sion of aliens and a systematic effort on the part of local posts and depart ments to find work for the 900,000 former soldiers said by the report to be jobless. Vets financially Strong.

In presence of representatives 01 me victorious allteif armies, a deep i iiiriiiauon or common elorv. identi cal Ideals and significant human and civh solidarity. "Italy remembers and nnnrpftnlM She remembers the timely coming in of the United States, the colossal ex peditions, the wealth of material put at the disposal of the Allies to bring jiDout the collapse of two tyrannical empires, the spn it with which the American soldit-rs took part in the war. She remembers their progressive growth of number, their perfection in every field of action, their audacity, their well-deserved success, the aid so humanely tendered, the work gen erously done by the Welfare associa tions and by the women, sublime in their pity; the collective privations which the people of the United States imposed upon themselves to aid the fighting men. "Hut at the same time Italy remem bers its own humane and altruistic reasons for entering the war. the bit ter firrhtin.r, the innumerable sacri fices of her own sons, of which noa.cOl left their lives on the field, 700,010 were disrfbled, 1, 500,000 wounded. She remembers the generous outpouring of her wealth, amounting to 120,0(10,000, ('00 lire, the suffering borne like Spar tans by her people, the moments of crisis, danger and death. Conirudos on the I'luve. 'And with Justified pride she thinks of eleven glorious battles in the first tyr years of war, of the coming-back fight on the Piave which broke the enemy overbearance, causing a loss of 2-10, ouo casualties to the Austrians; sho'thinks of the decisive and victori ous battles of Vittorio Veneto, which tmashed her eternal enemy, giving the death blow to an empire which seemed eternal and destroying Its army by the capture of 330.000 prisoners and 7,000 giro on the battlefield. "The 3aid -United States infantry, th numerous American aviators, the members of the- United States Army Ambulance corps, the American Red ('l-oss and other welfare organizations were our comrades in this period, bearing tootil- battlefields a symbol and exalted meaning, meaning which I here declare to be one which makes us brothers, not only in the pastj but In the future. "The war is over: from it must arise not war. but ppacor labor and prog ress. This Italy desires. This I de clare. I. soldier, of Italy, sure of the future of my country, with the knowl edge that duty so strenuously per formed will find its own reward in the passing generations and in those which arise with broader conception of the unity of mankind. And this I here mid now declare with depth of feeling and conviction of faith. "The United States and Italy have in common their aims, their energies with the renewed vision of their peo ples, they have the siime conception of duty and of right. May peace and lahor "triumph for the good of all. may the sword be sheathed, as in this svmhol which I PTfer to my comrade? of the American Legion with the cer tainty of brotherhood and faith."

Farmers are husking their own corn this fall rather than pay high-wages demanded for this class of labor, ac cording to reports received by J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture. In his weekly crop report today Secretary Mohler states that rapid progress has been made in gath ering the corn crop and that hu&kinsj is nearly completed in a number of northeastern counties. Rains last week in northern" and eastern counties as well as in Chey enne and Rawlins counties in the northwest, were oE much benefit to wheat growers. Moisture is greatly needed in southern and central west ern counties, however, as the lack oV rain has withheld growth of the wheat crop planted this fall. Very little extra labor Is employed on the farms, particularly in gather ing corn, as the farmers refuse to pay high wage scales in view of the pre vailing low prices for farm products. alIj city bu i s presexit:d.
