Criticis ing the opposition of President Hard ing and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, to the adjustedscompensation bill now before congress, the Ameri can Legion convention adopted a re port today to urge immediate passage of the act. The report was read by National Vice Commander James F. Scrugham, of the committee on legislation. 4,The greatest opposition we have had, have been letters from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and President Harding," he stated. Modify Harvey Slap. The convention rejected a report of its committee on resolutions castigat ing Col. George Harvey, American am bassador to Great Britain and declar ing him unfit to hold office in the American government. The vote to table was 576 to 444, with fifty not voting. After the original Harvey resolution had been tabled, a substitute Harvey resolution was adopted. It was couched in less caustic terms and was adopted by unanimous vote. It stated that Mr. Harvey's remarks did not represent the sentiment of the Ameri can Legion people and was amended, on motion of South Carolina, to omit the title- "colonel" in referring to Mr. Harvey. The resolution as passed provided that a copy be sent Mr. Harvey in London. The substitute was adopted after several delegates declared they believed the original resolution lost only because of its strong wording. The action dealing with Ambassa dor Harvey came after a brisk fight on the floor in which Colonel Harvey was severely arraigned and defended by delegates. Made Late Start. Although late in getting started, the national convention of the American, legion in final session here raced thru a large quantity of routine business this morning and cleared the way for consideration of the report of the committee on resolutions and the elec tion of officers, the outstanding fea tures on the concluding program. The convention adopted a resolution reaifirniing the attitude taken by the last national convention at Cleveland relative to adjusted compensation. The resolution reviewed the history of the tentative "bonus" legislation here tofore sponsored by the legion, which culminated in the Sweet bill, passed by the house of representatives at its last regular session and rejected by the senate upon the recommendation of tho president. The resolution reaffirms the legion's stated in favoring the passage of legis lation providing the same sort of ad justed compensation which the Sweet bill provided. Addresses also were made at the morning session by M. Charles Ber tram of France, commander of the In terallied Veterans' association, and R. M. Maxwell, head of the Canadian War Veterans' asociation. Both brought messages of felicitation to the legion from the respective countries and from the organizations they rep resent. Accept Americanization Report. The Americanization committee's report was adopted section by section. One clause urging that clemency be not given Eugene V. Debs, serving a sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta, for violation of war time laws, was adopted amid cheers, the conven tion rising and shouting its approval. Hisses were heard from thousands when the name of G rover Bergdoll was heard in a resolution indorsing the action of the alien property cus todian in confiscating the Bergdoll property. An amendment passed called upon the American government to endeavor to secure the return of Bergdoll to America immediately. Another resolution scored radical ism. Another opposed the ardoning of Eugene Eebs and any person con victed of treason. The convention voted to urge the exclusion of all aliens for from three to five years. That blood tests of all immigrants be taken was recom mended. The Legion reaffirmed its position on the Japanese question as voiced at Cleveland last year, as recommending exclusion of Orientals. The daisy was adopted as the Legion flower instead of the poppy. Americanization week, December 4 to December 10, was endorsed. Okhilioman Claims Majority. Delegations supporting Brig. Gen. Roy Hoffman, of Oklahoma City. Okla.. for national commander of the American Legion claimed 7 75 votes for Hoffman before the final session of the convention opened. Five hundred and twenty-eight are necessary to elect. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 2. Delega tions supporting Brig. Gen. Roy Hoff man of Oklahoma City, Okla.. for na tional commander of the American Legion claimed 77 5 votes for Hoff man, before the final session of the convention opened. Five hundred and twenty-eight are necessary to elect. New York, it was said, had with drawn State Commander William P. Deegan, and was supporting Hoffman, with the assurance of mid-west dele gates that they would support Deegan next year. Hanford McNider. of Iowa, and John F. Williams, of Missouri, were opposing General Hoffman.

Much Slachinery Idle Many Hours Each Day. "The city light plant does not wish to enter into competition with the To peka Edison company but if the Edi son company is not able to meet the demands of Topeka power users, for electrical current, I suppose the city plant is at the service of the people of the city to supply the deficiency." This statement was made today by W. A. Stanfield. city commissioner of water and light, in response to a di rect question as to just what the city plant could do in relieving an electri cal power shortage alleged to exist, according to the industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Stanfield declared that city power already is being furnished to several private consumers of power, tho in each instance the consumer is receiv ing the juice at the city limits and is conveying it over his own power line to the point of use outside of the city limits. The meter is located at the point of delivery at the city limits. Stanfield also declared that several applications from nearby cities are on file with his department, the towns asking the privilege of buying electri cal energy from the city at the Topeka city limits and conducting it to their users over their own transmission It was this condition that brought from Stanfield the statement that this excess power Which Topeka can pro duce and sell should be first available to Topeka consumers of power if the Edison company does not or cannot furnish ample, power to meet all de mands.

Says Veterans Should Get Money Taken hy Bootleggers. Washington. Nov. 2. A bill to legalize and place a 4 per cent tax on beer and light wines to be used in defraying the cost of a soldiers' bonus has been drafted by Representative Brennan, Republican, Michigan, and will be presented to congress, he an nounced today, as soon as the Ameri can Legion convention at Kansas City has acted on the bonus question. He declares that for the last two years "the revenue which rightfully should have flowed into the coffers of Uncle Sam has been collected ,by boot leggers and rum runners." Representative Brennan predicted that under the recent regulations per mitting medical use of beer "oceans' of it will be manufactured and sold for purposes other than "strictly medicinal." "Many students of the prohibition question,"' he said, "predict that me dicinal beer is only a forerunner to a return of beverage beer and light wines. If this be so, why should not the step be taken at once and the enormous revenue flowing from this source be applied to paying the sol dier bonus? Estimating that from fifty to seven ty million barrels of beef would be consumed annually, a tax of $5 to $10 a barrel would be sufficient without including light wine revenues to finance an "adjusted .-compensation plan." STORES TO BE DECORATED Every Merchant Requested to Honor Visiting School Teachers. Kvery merchant in Topeka has been requested to decorate his store, both inside and out, in honor of the visiting school teachers, who will capture the city tomorrow. American flags form an appropriate outside decoration. The teachers are required by law to display the Stars and Stripes from their school build ings every school day. The Topeka Merchants' association has issued a special request to its members to hang out the flags in profusion. All the association members have also been instructed to report at the state house tomorrow morning with automobiles to help haul the teachers to their rooming places. A liberal response is anticipated. BANK IS LIQUIDATING Affairs of State Bank of Lawton Arc Being Adjusted. The State Bank of Lawton, Chero kee county, is liquidating. Closing of the bank is not due to financial trouble but to existing conditions, ac cording to a statement today from the state banking department. The bank at I-awton was started in December. 1919.

Evening trains Into Topeka today will carry a heavy contingent of teach ers from all parts of the state to at tend the fifty-eighth ann.ual conven tion of the Kansas State Teachers' association. The registration booth at the state house will be opened late this after noon for the registration of the early comers. All other preparations for the reception have been made and are complete. k W. A. Biby, who hasf been chair man of the general reception commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce, was today forced to resign because of an urgent call to Chicago. Charles L. Mitchell was selected to head the committee in Biby's place. To Supply Information. Wilbur A. Stanfield, chairman of the reception committee of the Cham ber of Commerce has announced a committee chosen from the teachers in the local schools, who will be posted at the various railroad stations, and will give information to the teachers when they arrive. The teachers at the stations will also hand out the free transportation tickets on special street cars which will take the teachers to the state house for registration and room assignment. The teachers from Topeka schools who will serve, two at a time, at the railroad station booths, are: W. W. A. McGaw, H. R. Thompson, C. H. Hep worth, Miss Myre M. Corning. Mrs. Lutie J. Embleton, Miss Kathryn Tucker, Miss Ethel M.

The eaw .nrnllmont will start tonight and the first trains133 shown the greatest number of ap Thursday will bring great numbers of j plications for permits for the lnstalla- the teachers into the city. "Registration this year will not be the task .which it has been in past years," F. L. Pinet. secretary of the association, said today. "We expect to be able to handle it with five or six people instead of a dozen. "This is on account of the fact that the teachers have been required to register in advance in order to secure the reduced railroad railroad fare to Topeka. This is going to simplify matters for us." barrow To Bo Here. Pinet worked till after midnight Tuesday night, adjusting a break in the program of the Wichita meeting. Clarence S. Darrow, of Chicago, law yer and industrial leader, was to have spoken in Wichita Friday and in To peka Saturday. He will be unable to attend the Wichita meeting, but will he on the program of the Topeka sec tion as scheduled. Pinet succeeded in securing Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general of the state, to speak at the Wichita meet ing, and will also endeavor to have Rabbi Leon Harrison, of St. Louis. Jewish leader and speaker, on the same program. "The stage is all set, and the actors are beginning to appear," Pinet said this morning. "So far as I have been able to determine, the arrangements for the biggest annual convention which Topeka has had, are all com plete and everything is ready to go." FIND MUCH PARALYSIS City Health Officers Pears InfantHe Paralysis Epidemic, Only one case of diphtheria was re ported to the city health department this morning, but there was also re ported a case of infantile paralysis the sixth in the past two months. Dr. Earle G. Brown, city health of ficer looks for Infantile paralysis to reach unusual proportions In Topeka this winter. There is already existent a more than normal amount of the disease in the city, he stated today. "Infantile paralysis has reached an epidemic stage in many cities of the country," Dr. Brown said this morn ing, "and I shall be much surprised if we do not have a good deal of it here. We know that some of the cases which have been reported to us have been brought in from the out side." Outside of the diphtheria, and a certain amount of infantile paralysis. Dr. Brown believes that there will not be much disease in Topeka this win ter. TO TRANSPORT GRAIN FREE liansas Railroads Come to Aid of Near Kast Sufferers, On the behalf of all the railroads of the country J. R. Koontz, assistant freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe, today notified W. A. Biby, man ager of the Near East Relief associa tion of this section, that the railroads had agreed to transport free to the seaboards two million bushels of grain for export to the Near East Bufferers. This free movement of grain is equiv- alent to 1,500 cars of 80,000 pounds each, or thirty trains of fifty cars each. "5 m' y fj-2r (STENTS SHOWS BIG GAIN City Water Dejiarlment Cel- lected f 19,91445 in October. Increase Due to Efficiency in Collections, Says Stanfield. The month of October, just passed. tion of city water, in the history of the city water department. Forty-four per mits for water connections were issued during the month. A set of comparative figures, show ing tho receipts of the department for each October since. 1917, shows that there has been a steady growth each year, the receipts mounting from $9, 002.30 in October, 1917, to $19,914.45 during the month just past. The receipts during the month just passed, for each year, were as fol lows: 1917, J9.502.30: 1918, 11, 791.18; 1919, $15,710.46; 1920, $16, 214.38; 1921, $19,914.43. Pump So More Water. A feature of the record, according to Wilbur Stanfield. city water and electric light commissioner, is the fact that the city is not using any more water today than it did four years ago. The entire growth in receipts is due to the fact that the water which is used is being collected for, and the fact that no more water is being pumped today is due to the careful overhauling of the equipment and the stopping of leaks which formerly made (Continued on Page Two.l it 'Big Bill" Haywood Can Stay in Russia, Declare American I.

William "Big Bill" Haywood may remain in Russia as far as I. W. W. is concerned, it was learned at international headquarters here today. The I. W. W. is trying to forget that "Bill" ever existed. John Grady, a 33-year-old ex switchman and lumberjack of the Pa cific northwest, is holding down Hay wood's job as the big chief of the In dustrial Workers of the World, and he says, as far as he knows, nobody in the organization misses the former leader.

"No, we haven't heard from him since he jumped his $15,000 bond for appear- j ance at trial. We will pay he $15,- 000. The bondsmen shouldn t lose. We're not doing it for Haywood, how ever. It's a matter of principle." Asked if the I. W. W. was function ing without the picturesque presence of Haywood, the dark, phlegmatic Grady smiled and glanced about him.

Tonight will be slightly cooler than Tuesday night, altho there will not be a freeze. The temperature will drop to 38 de grees tonight and will rise to 65 de grees Wednesday. The highest temperature in the state Tuesday was 6 8 degrees at Goodland and Dodge City and the lowest was 32 at Goodland.

Functioning without Haywood? Why. according to Grady, the I. W. W. is just a baby. In 1922 it will have more power in American industry than it ever had before; "its hour has al most struck." The worse "domineer ing capitalism" treats the "Wage Slaves-' the bigger the membership. and, he said, the membership is growing rapidly.

Miss Wooster "Will ?fot Appear on Any Programs. The opening- of the annual conven tion of the Kansas State Teachers as sociation means the reopening of the feud mere or less genteel between the members of the association and the state superintendent of education. These are tne days of strategy, and some of the finest points of the game are brougrht out in the controversy. For the first time in the history of the fifty-eight annual conventions of the association, Miss Lorraine Eliza beth Wooster. state superintendent of instruction, will not appear on the pro gram of the convention either of the sixteen general 'Sessions, the twenty departmental meetings or the one hun dred round tables. Slic Will Take Xo Part. Miss Wooster has not seemed to care whether she appeared on the program or whether sfhe did not, and has con sistently opposed the work of the as sociation, the officers of the organiza tion state, .in explaining why her name is absent. It is asserted that in Janu ary, 1919, the year after her election, she appeared at the annual meeting of the council of administration and "threw down the gauntlet." It is also asserted that she has attempted 1 to form a rival organization, and lias en couraged the establishment of 9. publi cation rivalling the official organ of the association. The association has in the past employed legal talent to prevent the loss of the name which they have used for the past fifty-eight years, before the state charter board, due, they believe, to the activities cf the state superintendent. The resolutions which have been proposed for adoption by the teach ers in their annual convention are si lent this year in regard to the state superintendent and the state depart ment of education. Call for Kxcouttvc Meetings. The state superintendent is not pas sive under this condition of affairs. From her office there has been issued a call for executive meetings of the county superintendents at each of the four cities in which sections f th convention are to meet, during the convention. The school teachers association heads are deeply interested in what is to transpire at these meetings. The first is to be held at Pittsburg Thurs day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Pitts burg is in the territory of County Su perintendent J. W. Miley. who is a candidate for the office of state su perintendent of instruction at the next election.

Premier Lloyd George Cancels Passage to Arms Parley. London, Nov. 2. The Irish peacs negotiations were once again on tha way towards a happy solution this aft ernoon. Important concessions were made by the Ulster unionists which promised to overcome the chief ob stacles to an agreement. Sir Kdward Carson, former leader of the Ulster unionists, acted as a me diary at the request of Premier Lloyd George. It is understood that the Ulsterites have agreed to the detach ment of the counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone from the province. The Sinn Fein at Dublin had claimed those counties on the contention of political belief. Ulster Makes Sacrifice. After the appeals of Premier Lloyd George.

Lloyd George Is Victor. Sir Edward Carson was convinced by the premier's eloquent appeal and undertook to convince the Ulster pre mier. Sir James Craig had already learned of the intense eagerness of King George for peace, even if con cessions had been made for it. Before the prince of Wrales sailed on his trip around th world, he had conveyed his father's opinions to in timate Tory friends of the Ulster pre mier.

Work in the Indiana coal field a.s practically at a standstill today as a result of walk outs of twenty thousand men em ployed at 300 mines in the state ac cording to early reports received at union headquarters at Terre Haute. Further walkouts of coal miners were looked for today as district pres idents of the United Mine Workers received telegrams from their Inter national officers stating that "any abrogation or setting aside of any part or section." of the existing Joint agreement between the miners and operators "including the section pro viding for the checking off of dues and assessments cannot be regarded as other than a violation of the agree ment and should be treated accord ingly by the district officers and local unions within your jurisdiction." Operators Stand Pat. Operators enjoined by Judge Ander son in the federal court from con tinuing the "check off system, were expected to abide by the court's de cree and cease collection of miners dues by the system. This, In the light of the union officials telegram, would constitute "abrogation" of a section of the joint agreement and be "cause" for a strike, it was generally believed. M. L.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1921 SENATE IS ROUSED Demand Fullest Publicity for the Arm? Parley. Humored That Sessions To Be Behind Closed Doors. ONLY OPENING TO BE PUBLIC "Too Much Secret Diplomacy Already," Says Capper, "Must Keep Faith With People Says Johnson. Washington, Nov. 2.- Senators who are urging that the fullest publicity be given to whatever transpires at the conference on limitation of armament and Far Karitern problems, were aroused today by semi-official advices reaching them that public or open sessions of the conference will be few and far between. They declared that they were pre pared to protest vigorously if it de veloped that while the opening ses sion will probably be public, those thereafter will be mostly closed or secret, except for an occasional open one intended to satisfy public opinion. Cannot Believe Rumor. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, said: "I shall never believe that the conference wiir be held in secret at any time until the doors are closed upon the public- The report that the conference will be held largely be hind closed doors, seems incredible to me." Senator La Follette, Republican, of Wisconsin, said: "I am loath to believe that anyone is contemplating secret sessions of the conference, but if it should prove true that the conference is to be held chiefly behind closed doors, then there will be at least sev eral of us in the senate who will be found hammering hard on those doors."

For any secret session to be held would have a most deplorable effect upon public opinion, not only in this country, but thruout the world. Surely, we have had too much 'secret diplomacy' al ready." Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa chusetts: "The American people might as well abandon all hope of any successful settlement of the grave in ternational questions which the con ference has been called to consider, if its sessions are not to be public and all of the speeches, arguments, con tentions, deliberations, decisions and votes which occur at it are not given the fullest publicity and subjected to the completest scrutiny by the people of the entire world." Must Keep Faith. Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, said There s one thing that makes possible real accomplish ment, and that is the enlightened pub lic opinion of the world. There's but one way in which world public opinion can operate upon the conference, and that is by publicity. The first act of the conterence. the essential initial step, is to decide upon open sessions and full publicity.' Senator Ladd. Nonpartisan Repub lican, of North Dakota: "The people, without regard to party or creed, want full information of every step taken by the conference. To the fullest pos sible extent, consistent with national welfare, the conference should be public and at all times full and accur ate information should be furnished to the press and public."

New York, Nov. 1. Picketing of the president's armament conference by an army of women became a possibil ity todav with the announcement of the Woman's Peace society, a national organization, that it would use suf frage tactics to put thru its program for complete disarmament. A great parade of women, planned to be the biggest peace demonstration ever held in this country, will precede the organization's activities in Wash ington. Thousands of women, headed by Mrs. Henry Villard. daughter of Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, Zona Gale, the authoress, and others of national fame, will march thru the streets of New York as the momentous conference opens in Washington. Later, an army of prominent women will descend on Washington to await developments. "And if we sea that nothing is likely to come of the conference, we shall stage a demonstration to emphasize our demands. We may picket: we may do many things." said Miss Elinor ptvrns vice chairman of the Woman's Peace society. "We intend to make the gentlemen in the conference upjTb'longing to the department, to corpo- derstand in an empnatic rasnnei-j the women want war ended andJill not be satisfied with mere", talk. i "We stand for complete disarma-: ment and our program will be suffrage tactics."

Clement is a candidate for the office of the state superintendent. The fourth and last meeting is to be held at Topeka at noon Saturday, in the office of the state superintendent. Fred A. Seaman of Topeka is an announced candidate for the state suyierintendenoy. The friends of none of the candi dates involved will be idle during these meetings. By long distance wire the subject matter of the Pittsburg meet ing will be reported to the other three cities. Object Is Unknown. At Miss Wooster's office today It was stated that the object of the meet ings of the county superintendents is unknown. Miss Wooster could not be seen personally. It was assumed that one of the points to be discussed is the possibility of having the county su perintendents meet in annual session at Topeka in connection with the an nual meeting of the other county offi cers the Kansas Official Council. Outside of this, it was stated, the meetings would probably be informal, and there is no set program for them. But they are interesting the Kan sas school teachers Just the same. Thursday evening, while Miss Wooster is at Pittsburg, a rural edu cation banquet is to be held at the Seaman rural high school. Trans portation will be provided for the teachers who are guests, and a feature of the entertainment will be a playlet, which has been arranged with some pains by the committee in charge. Just what is in this playlet Is a matter of deep, dark mystery, but those on the "inside" nod wisely and wink knowingly when the matter is mentioned. The most they will say is that the playlet is the real sensation of the association's entire program, and that it is a "scream," with plenty of fun at the expense of the various candidates for the office of state superintendent of public instruction. Miss Wooster has been formally in vited to attend this banquet-program and has been supplied with a compli mentary ticket. CHARLES EN ROUTE TO JAIL.

Wakeeney, Kan., Nov. 2. From south Graham county, north of Wa keeney, comes rather a peculiar rab bit story- Recently while Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Dorman and son were out in a field the dog, which was with the boy, spied a jack rabbit and was after it down a furrow, and the bunny was bent on keeping ahead of the enemy. rohhiHn hl hnri thA Iflrt nt. rtnwnaMd their Claim SUnd that in the furrow ahead of the race. The rabbit attempted to make a big jump over the lad, but failed, and struck the boy just below the elbow, squarely on the forearm, killing the jack and knocking the boy's elbow out of joint by the impact. A physician was called to treat the boy and it is said he will be ready to catch another jack in a short time. SHOW BIG GAIN (Continued frosi Paf One.l away with the water without any re turn to the city in money. In 191S only eighty-five per cent of the water connections were supplied with meters, Stanfield said today. At the present time, the water connec tions are 100 per cent "meterized." In this lies the secret of the heavier col lections. In addition to the stoppage of leaks, and the careful overhaul of meters, there have been installed on a num ber of connections, check or test me ters, which have usually resulted in the increase of the water bills for those connections. "Water bills have been growing larger during the past few years, all risht tVift it, nn miKtnkf flhnilt. that." Stanfield says, "but tlfey are growing to the size which they should be. Check Meters poost Bills. Stanfield recited the stories of number of industrial connections on which test meters had been estab lished with the result that the month ly water bjlls were found to be 100 per cent, sometimes far more, than they had been. In some cases the test meters were installed after nightfall, and without the knowledge of the consumers. "This was done," Stanfield said, "in order that they wouldn't know what was going on, and start a program of rigid economy in tne use of water. We wanted to get them using water as they are accustomed to use it. Leakages have been repaired until, altho there are 1,000 more customers than there were four years ago. the city is not pumping any more water. The expenses of the department for the month of October amounted to $9,032.49, which included some $1,500 spent for the construction of new lines. That left a profit for the month of October of 10,881.96. During the month, bonds issued by the department, to the sum f $20,000, were paid off, and $20,000 was placed in the sinking fund. The $40,000 thus placed had been accumulated during the past several months of the year, Stanfield pointed out, and not in the single month. Two other source of Income have been uncovered by the department. There are loaned out some 300 meters rations. These meters will be called 4xr a rental charg of $1 per month will be assessed against' them, Stan field "said today. Either way the in come of the department will be In creased. A new ruling has been established under which the applicant for a per mit to establish a water connection must settle anv iinnaM watoi- hilla nf the past before 4he new connection will be made. "We have collected some bills as old as eleven years, this way," Stanfield says. "We won't give them a new con nection until we have looked back and see that they have no unpaid bills on our books." MINE STRIKE CERTAIN Continue, from Vmgm On. troubled situation in the Kansas fields appeared very uncertain today. Ira Clemens, president of the North western Interstate Coal Operators, and a large operator in the Kansas field, said he had received no advices con cerning the injunction other than the newspaper reports. He did not con template calling: a meeting of the as sociation, he said. Van A. Bittner, special representa tive of President John L. Lewis of the union and in charge, with provisional officers of district 14, stated this morning that the attitude of the Kan sas union would be determined en tirely by the international officials. and that he and the other officials in Kansas would have nothing to say concerning the matter. Pennsylvania Miners "Sot Roused. Pittsburgh. Pa., Nov. 2. President Robert R. Gibbons and "other officials of district 5, United Mine Workers, declared today they were making ev ery possible effort to keep the western Pennsylvania bituminous miners at work. Of the 40.000 workers in this dis trict, only 15,000 are now employed. The Pittsburgh Coal Producers asso ciation, the organization of the Pitts burgh district operators, announced they were standing pat and awaiting developments. No Strike Order Issued. Terre Haufe. Ind., Nov. 2. Prac tically all of the 200 mines in district No. 11. comprising most of the In diana coal fields, and employing 28, 000 men, were idle today, according to reports reaching Terre Haute. No strike order has yet been issued by district officials, however. The re maining mines will close tomorrow, reports indicated, in protest against Federal Judge Anderson's injunction decree. Indiana Mines Idle. Linton. Ind., Nov. 2. Practically every mine in the Linton field is closed today in protest over Judge An derson's decree. The telegram sent to district presi dents by international officers of the United Mine Workers was interpreted virtually as an order to cease work. Both miners and operators here are astounded over the unexpected and far reaching effects of the injunction. The walkout in the field involves ap proximately thirty mines and 5,000 men. Illinois Men Walk Out. Centralia, 111., Nov. 2. Four hun dred miners were idle here today fol lowing a report from a special com mittee that the check off system or dered stopped by Federal Judge An derson would be continued. There was no strike order but when the shift was due at work, there was not enough j men to keep the mine in operation. It will pay you to get our estimate on that lumber bill. W he lan Lumber Co. Adv. NO OBSTACLE NOW fContlnued from Page Ontl province give up the two counties in question. a It was generally admitted that such a concession on the part of the Irish Unionists would -insure a peace agree ment between South Ireland and the British government. Last Obstacle Removed. At Sinn Fein headquarters, it was declared the relinquishment of the two Ulster counties "removed the last seridus obstacle to peace." The Sinn Felners had demanded first a plebiscite in Ulster to fix new boundaries and later detachment of Fermanagh and Tyrone counties. They most of the male residents of the two counties were sympathizers of the Sinn Fein or actual members of that party. The unionists contended at first that Ulster must remain a unit and that all Ireland -must likewise remain a unit. Pressure was brought to bear from London and the Ulster unionists receded from their original position. Cancels IT. S. Trip. Premier Lloyd George today can celed his passage for New York on the Acquitania sailing Saturday.. The premier hopes to go to America later to attend the sessions of the ar mament conference but he cannot get away this week on account of the crit ical Irish peace situation and the pos sibility of a general election.

Advertising will be used by Socialist organizations during this year to the extent of $50,000, with a million-dollar campaign in prospect for 1922, spent in "capitalist" dally Tiewspapers, "to bring the party's message to the Vcople who now read tho capitalist press," according to the Appeal to Rea son, the Socialist weekly, published at Cirard. This seems like a waste of good money. Socialism has had all the advertising that any reform move ment should desire in Russia and it has cost the American Socialist very little. In fact some if them, Trotzky, for Instance, nnd Haywood probably have made money out of it. The Blnnton Incident In the national house, in which the Texas congress man narrowly escaped expulsion for inserting; objectionable matter in the J-ecord in the form of an extension of his remarks, soon will be forgot ten. But, if' it could succeed in stop p pg the custom of cluttering up the P.orord with speeches never made it wou'd have served a useful purpose. That there are no unsolvable technl cfil difficulties in the way of the plan recently suggested by President Hard ing to the American nfintng congress whereby the production of coal might be made more uniform, and conditions ef unemployment ameliorated and seasonal periods of depression largely obviated in the mining industry by the provision of storage reservoirs in which coal could be stored in quantity by Jarge consumers and producers, is de clared by Dr. H. Foster Bain, director cf tho bureau of mines. Careful anal: :1s may show an extremely slight loss In the heating value of most bi tv iliiBUB coal after storage for a con riderable period, says Poctor Bain. This loss, however, is very much smaller than is commonly supposed by the public, nnd in burning the coal lit tle or no, difference can be distin guished. The adoption of such a plan would do away with much of the ir regularity of employment which now prevails at the mines. There are many more women than men in England and women have but rjently been given the vote. From a condition of a few years ago when the country was ruled by one woman, the day when it will be ruled by many women seems to be in prospect. Twenty staterooms and "de luxe suites" will be occupied by Lloyd George and "stenographers, typists, guards and valets" on his trip to America to attend the international conference on limitation of arma ments and far eastern questions. But President "Wilson, when he went to Paris, set a pace that may be emu lated altho it will be difficult for the British premier or anybody else to outdo it. The great problems that confront the American people at this time can npt be settled by partisan shibboleths or by sectional clamors or class prop aganda, 'writes Senator King in The Nation's Business. It were an unmiti gated evil, he says, that the affairs of state should fall within the oontrol of any group with propaganda, or of any class obsessed by an Ism which subordinates every consideration of tha publie. weal to the promotion of its pet and partial projects. One of the vils ef these times in public, life of our country is the formation of nu-J merous groups in the country, each with gome special project or propa ganda, and each attempting to serse the power of the government and make of it n instrument to Impose Its projects upon tha people. "Sectional Ism in its day," writes the senator, "was an evil thing. It was the causa of a great war between geographical divisions of the cpuntry, but section Ism is not entirely deaf to the appeals of oatrlotlsm. The man who la ob- sessed with the narrow projects of a class, a. group or a special party can not be appealed to from that stand point. His country means nothing to him." There may be uncertainty re garding what particular "bloc" the senator had in mind, but his utterance can be made to apply in a large num ber of places. CANCER WEEK. This Is "cancer week." Many can cer are preventable apd some are curable by surgery and X-ray and radium treatments if taken in time. So it develops into another case of ed ucating the people to avoid circum stances that make them favorable cancer soil and also to consult com petent scientific authority at the first suspicious sign of cancer. This calls for competent physicians and one of the real obstacles in any health work is the ignorance and carelessness of poorly trained medical men. The diagnosis of early cancer requires the keenest diagnostic acu men, often supplemented with expert laboratory help. Not all growths are cancers. It is fatal to dally with a malignant growth and it is wrong to subject a njan or woman with a be nign growth to a radical operation. Most of us go for first aid to our family physician. Wo cannot expect him to be a cancer specialist. But wc can expect him to refer us to an ex pert. This is not always done for experts are not common. Here are difficulties and the public suffers. There ought to be some plan by which every person can be assured of this I expert advice. j Would it not be possible to have some board of real experts to which all suspicious cases could be referred for diagnosis and recommendations as to treatment? Friday of last week appears to have been an un'ucky day for the Nonpar tican League; in fact a "Black Fri day. The league lost control r.,t North Dakota thru the recall of the governor by the sovereign voters. Tha recall has not found great favor in this country in the past, but it ap pears to have its uses. Wresting a state from control of Townley and his followers seems to Justify the exist ence of the recall in state statutes. MIXERS AXD TIJE COURTS. The injunction issued against the check-off system by 'Judge Anderson in the federal court seems likely to become for a time a serious handicap to the operations of the coal miners' unions. By "check-off" is meant the col lection by the operators from their employes who are members of the United Mine Workers of America, of all dues and assessments made against these employes by that organization. It is worthy of note that so binding is that obligation on operators that they must deduct from ther employes' earnings and pay out to the- United Mine Workers of America these dues and assessments before even the living expenses of the employes are met. The suit out of which grew Judge Anderson's order, was filed by West Virginia coal operators who alleged that unlawful combinations exist at this time that are responsible for ac tivities which are a menace to indus trial peace in West Virginia. The in junctions prayed for were filed by the Borderland Coal Corporation on be half of .sixty-three coal companies in tho state. Processes were served on John L. Lewis and other high officials of the U. M. W. of A. E. L. Greever, of counsel for the coal producers, made the following statement concerning the suits: "The bill sets out the conspiracy entered into in 1S98 between the United Mine Workers of America on the one side and the coal operators. of the central competitive field, com posed of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and western Pennsylvania, on the other part. This conspiracy was brought about by the reason of the increasing and sharp competition of West Vir ginia coal with that of the central competitive fields. Its object was to increase the cost of production in West Virginia in order to lessen this competition. It was agreed by parties to this conspiracy that operators of the central competitive field would grant such demands of the United Mine Workers of America, including the closed shop, the eight-hour day and the 'check-off and in conse quence thereof, the United Mine Workers of America agreed to organ ize the West Virginia mines for the ex press purpose of controlling the pro duction of West Virginia coal, increas ing tha cost of production and thus making West Virginia coal Jess dan gerous in the competitive market." Judge Anderson apparently believ ing this allegation to be true, also en joined further attempts of the U. M. W. A. to organize the West Virginia territory. The national organization new has on hand not only a fight with the courts but a fight within its own ranks. As long as tha unions waged war with employers they usually were victorious, but since they have been locking horns with the government they are faring badly. Lumber prices have declined and building has been stimulated by tho lower priceK but lumber still cos's mors than it should. In some in stances, it is reported, where the lum ber Is purchased by home builders and farmers, it has been found that 23 cents of the consumer's dollar goes for lumber, 28. cents for retailing and 54 cents for transportation. Transporta tion costs must come down. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL "ormation Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKIN, Director, Washington, D. C. BOHEMIA'S JIOVING DAY. New York City. Oct. 0. Art is leaving Greenwich Village in sad haste this year. Studios, with huge north windows and facades trimmed with old rose and pea green paint, are more numerous than ever, but the art ists are departing, not because they love the Village less, but because they can no longer afford it. Before the invasion of the returning wealthy bourgeoisie, who once more choose to reside in the vicinity of Washington Square, the artist must retreat but where? This is what they themselves ask you, with rather a desperate air. Where, indeed, can they find an in expensive, down-at-the-heela neigh borhood into which they can infuse their own careless and artistic atmos phere without attracting a pursuing mob of rich, would-be Bohemians? For, like Mrs. Vanderbilt, the artists of Manhattan suffer from too-great popularity. As soon as they move into a locality, get their easels and smocks unpacked, let their beards grow, put antique brass knockers on their front doors and pink borders around their windows. Wall street brokers follow suit, and rents rise. The rich grew weary and deserted Greenwich Village more than, half a century ago. Their great estates gave place to rows of mid-Victorian dwell ings, owned and occupied by respec table merchant families. When the elevated trains started coming down! Sixth avenue as far as Bleecker "street, I with business in their wake, the mer chant families moved on. Clerks and small retailers took over their houses until in time the immigrants came and crowded them out. The neighbor- hood had set in for a period of rapid decay, such an that which destroyed tho once lovely Third avenue, and property owners of the distr.ct had resigned themselves to great pecu niary loss, when suddenly New York artists discovered the possibilities of Washington Square. They entered and took possession of the district, ousting the immigrants, remodeling the old-fashioned houses and stables, lending a picturesque ear chantment to dingy garrets and base ments, and encouraging the establish ment of cafes and boarding houses catering to artistic taste. For several years Greenwich Village really con tained an art colony of genuine dis tinction. Then it became famous. People spoke of it as the Latin Quar ter of America, and as such it began to hold enormous attraction for the curious. Many astute persons wht had set tled in the neighborhood to study art now decided that it would be much more profitable to open restaurants and so-called art shops. Others went oi.ietlv ahmir bnvtne- leases Knmo nf these were uptown real estate brok

te brok- ers, who laid their plans with deep sagacity. They kept rents very low to attract the artists, who unsuspectingly set to work remodeling and decorating the dilapidated homes they had leased. Then, at the end of a year, the landlords rented the premises at freatly increased prices to uptown usiness men. Atmosphere Expensive. Under this system? which has en riched so many landlords during the past five years, true art could not sur vive. Only rich and successful artists can now afford to live in the Village, which has become one of the highest priced sections in the city. Try hunt ing an apartment there and you will soon find out for yourself. Not a sin gle basement or garret, however mean and inartistic, is to be had f.T 'ess than $76 a month. Ten years ago, when the village was at the height of its artistic glory, the best floor 1n Washington Square South could be rented for $40 a month, while a room overlooking the park cost $5. Today, a room without a private bath (and also usually without steam heat or electricity) rents for '$70 a month, and a whole floor (two rorns) will cost you $160. The picturesque little stables in Washington Mews, which once rented for $30 and $40 a month, now bring $4,000 a year, in addition to the cost of necessary repairs, which must be made by the tenant. A well known painter rented one of these places for $2,000 four years ago. He stuccoed it, installed new plumbing, built a new fireplace ajid made other costly repairs, witn tne result that the fol lowing' year his rent was raised to $3,000. He paid the increase, and the following year his landlord at tempted to collect $6,000 for the place. Now that the influx of business peo ple from uptown shows signg ef being permanent, however, he landlords have ceased bothering about repairs. Instead, they actually call attention to dinginess as a mark of atmosphere. "Yes. it is a trifle dark," a real estate agent will say to a Broad Street broker, who is looking at an apart ment, "but very quaint, don't you think? No hidious electric bulbs or steam radiators or other modern atroc ities. yTou will fid a gas heater quite warm, and it throws such de lightful shadows on the wall. The woodwork painted? Well, you could have it done if you like, but this mel low shade of white is admired down here. Perhaps you also dislike the wallpaper; some people of course, do not care for such an intricate de sign "On the contrary, it was the wall paper that attracted me," says the broker, anxious to show that he knows something about art. "That, and the fireplace. I grew quite acustomed to fireplaces in England. How much is the rent $150? Well, wrap it up and I'll take it along" Some of the real estate agents, being art students on the side, are ex pert creators of atmosphere. They find artistic merits in every glaring defect and so dazsle the prospective tenant by descriptions of Bohemian life in the village that he is willing to sacrifice all comfort in order to live within the charmed circie. "No, this room does not get the sun," the agent will explain with patient patronage, "but the marvelous reflection of the sun so necessary to artists." (He looks around hurriedly searching for some good points to. play up, but sees nothing but rusty fixtures, cobwebs and dirt. Nevertheless, his kind, patronizing manner does not desert him.) "The charm of this particular house," he continues, "is its privacy and freedom. Theie is only one apart ment to a floor, so that one is never disturbed by the proximity of neigh bors. My friend, So-and-So (you maw have heard of him in the village) par ticularly admires the Gothic appear ance of this building." A Profitable Wreck. This fall a small-town woman who had long revered the name of Green wich village, decided to buy a house there. Her idea, like that of the first art coionists years ago, was to secure a dilapidated place for a small amount of money and remodel it to suit her self. After searching thruout the dis- I bhq i-aiua upun picvjiBciy lilt, KII1U of heuse she was looking for trt Wash ington Square South. To her prac tical, middle-western eye, the place seemed to be rapidly failing to pieces. It sagged limply toward the east, and its front steps looked as if theyhad been used for artillery practice. "No one has lived here for years," she thought, and hurried to tha nearest real estate office. "That house is not for sale," the real estate clerk told her. but if it were it would cost you $50,000." "You cannot know the one I mean," persisted the woman. "I am referring: ito which would have to be ex pensively repaired before anyone could live in it. surely, it can t be worth even half of $50,000." "But it is," said he clerk, laughing. "And the only reason it is not for sale is that the landlord can make more money out of it renting it out in apartments. If you will go back and examine the place closely, madam, you will see that there are tenants living on every floor." With the Village growing less ar fistic and more expensive every day, the artists are scattering in all direc tions. A small colony settled in "the Old Chelsea section, but is now being ousted by the same clever real estate actics. Others have fied the city alto gether and have taken refuge., in Brooklyn and in outlying suburbs. A large group has taken up its abode in the. former aristocratic Brooklyn Heights, but with no faith in the per manency of tneir security. The Heights so closely resemble Green wich Village in every way that it is unreasonable to suppose a Latin Quar ter established on their old-fashioned soil would long escape the attention of commercial interests. The same is probably true of the art colony near Spuyten Duyvil. Bronxville and New Rochelle shelter many distinguished artists, but there has been no attempt to establish an art quarter in either suburb. In fact, the hope of founding an- other Greenwich village in some other section grows dimmer and dimmer. "What," the artists ask you, "would be the use? We would only be pur sued. The only thing that can help us is time. Perhaps in time, the rich and successful will tire of the Village, realize with O. Henry that Bohemia is a land of illusion, and quit. Then we'll all move back!" THE NEW GENERATION By JANE PHELPS MARGARET TALKS OF EN LIGHTENING JOAN. CHAPTER 57. Now Margaret suddenly began to feel a great longing to know how Joan woud take her revolt from her former lire. Letters were irequenc dui or laie Margaret had imagined Joan's more SUriace letters; mat sne was Keep.ns l,nl, V,in 1m,q1 was happen Jan- .","e ing to her. "I believe I shall let her know I am in New York" she said to herself over and over as well as repeating the same thing to Hannah and Mrs. Walters. Mrs. Walters said: "You must. Use,Vpur own judgment. I should think you would feel abso lutely free to do aa you pleased re gardless of Joan. I have always felt that you should. I can't understand why her attitude should make the slightest, difference to you." Hannah said: "I expect the poor child hasn't had half enough to eat since she's been in that school. I wish you would have her come here and let me cook for her a. spell." "I believe I will, Hannah!" Margaret answered recalling how Joan had clung to her, had offered, almost begged to be allowed to stay at home and travel as merther had wanted to do. "You look lovely!" Forrester said an hour later when he called. "Do I?" Margaret smiled serenely but the color rose in her cheeks. "I'm glad. Altho I expect you think me outrageous." "Not a bit! Why should I?" "Oh, I am so different from what I was at homeffhati you first met me. So different than Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Freeman, and the rest of the town folks think me." Craig reached over and patted her hand. "And so infinitely more at tractive," he said, smiling at her. Then: "I love you," he added simply. "Do you know that I am almost 37 years old?" she asked severely, "and ha.vf Bjown daughter?" And do you know that I am 45. and wish I too had a grown daugh ter? ,In fact am willing to father yours?" 'I sometimes wish I were of the new generation who take things so cas ually, Margaret mused aloud. Her thoughts were on what Forrester had said: his "I love you." had meant nothing to him, should mean nothing to her. It was simnly an expression of admiration. If it had been any thing more he would have said some thing about marriage. isut way; l don t mind being of the older generation. In fact I enjoy it. Think how we appreciate the times we are .passing thru now, an appre ciation impossible to those born to them." They went to the theater after din ner. Margaret told him she was in tending to let Joan know she was in town. "It's time!" he said laconically. "Why?" "False pretenses. Then I have seen enough of you when with Joan to know you will never be really-happy and at ease, until she knows and either approves or disapprove what you have done." "You've guessed it. I feel sure she will disapprove, and perhaps am anx ious to have it over." Joan's last letter reposed in her handbag. She drew it out and read snatches of it to Forrester: "I wonder what you do with your self, Mumsie? Now I am away you must find time hangs often. I guess I kept you pretty busy when I was at home Martha Hardy is to make a speech in a big hall to morrow night. Her subject is The Rights of the Working Man." I shall go and hear her, altho I think if ope really works they get all their rights sooner or later. Martha and I have some pretty hot arguments. I have been-to luncheon with a new man twice this week. Dean Tennant. He is a queer chap but SO interest ing. I wish he would wear better linen. But I notice that men with ideas have little time or thought and, perhaps, money, to spend Ch non-essentials. I am going out with him tomorrow night, down to the Purple Pup for dinner. I always eat before I go to those places, so I have only to listen to the conversation. It is always interesting." "You see I must let her know I am in New York;". Margaret said a sfie put the letter away. "Yes, I imagine it would be besfT" the man replied. i (Tomorrow -Margaret plana 4o meet Joan.) t- Even ing Story Poetry and Patches. BY JESSIE DOUGLAS. As Sue swept the kitchen and held open the screen door to brush off the stone step she stopped tor a moment in breathless delight, A round,' glistening moon slid into her vision against a bank of violet clouds. Tho commoriplace of every day was shut out. The little maple tree was shadowed like a bamboo on the edge ef the whispering stream, the faint breath of lilacs drifted to her with a sudden overwhelming sweet ness. Sue, the incurably romantic, left the broom leaning against the door, went hurriedly into the kitchen and found the stump of pencil behind the wooden clock and the piece or paper on which she kept the butter list, and crept out again to the moonlit step. In the silvery light she wrote the first line: "You taught me what it meant to love." And when several hours later she had written the last: "In lilac-scented nights of spring,"' Rhs enva n aitrYt nt roliof nnri want I W --D-- w- enftlt fir, i-Via V4rlr aira tr, Iiac KnH room under the eaves. Before she could repent she sent the little poem td one of the daily news papers, aadressed in her own odd, vertical hand. As the days went by Sue completely forgot her moment of madness. For there was much to do bread-making, cleaning, the spring painting, the tiny patch of garden that Sue always de voted to her bachelor buttons and pink poppies and old-fashioned white pinks. Besides, Rosamond was going to grad uate in Jane and a dress that Rosa mond had decreed should have in numerable tucks was being made by Sue. Sue was bending over the last tuck with a queer Jittle pain shooting across her shoulder blade when, Rosamond fluttered into the room. Rosamond was the family beauty. She was fair and lithe and just eighteen, with clear blue eyes that she knew how to use and a dimple in her smooth peachy cheek. "I'm dying to try it on; do hurry. Sue!" she cried impatiently. Sue straightened her shoulders, slipped the frock over Rosamond's fluffy hair, and as she caught the, tiny loops into their places she heard a sigh of pleasure. "I do look rather nice, don't I, Sue?" Rosamond asked, smiling ec statically. "You're a dear, Sue, if you're not pretty. Oh, I forget this came for you today." She held out a letter that she had put in the pocket of her gingham frock, and Sue, tearing it open, looked at it with dazed eyes. "My Dear Miss Moore I read with much pleasure your poem in the 'Sen tinel' entitled 'In Lilac-time.' I have made a musical setting for it, and if it would be possible to arrange a meet ing I should be glad to do so.' Per haps you would enjoy hearing it. Sin cerely, ROBERT HERNDON." Her poem in the "Sentinel"! Sue ran to the pile of newspapers behind the kitchen door, and on hands and knees went thru them. Hidden away in a corner in fine print was her poem. Her cheeks burned as she read it and her heart thrumped rapturously. How large her name looked; Susan Moore. "What are you dressing up for?" Rose asked that afternoon. '"Why, I'd almost think you had a beau. Sue Moore!" She giggled at her own wit. In a few nervous sentences Sue had told Rosamond the bare outlines of her daring, the poem she had written and the man who sent her a letter. "You've got to see him! You must pretend that yqu wrote the poem." She pushed her sister to the door as she heard the bell tinkle thru the house. "On the landing above with hands clasped over her heart she heard his voice deep and pleasant and Rosie's answering giggle. Half art hour later Sue. crept down the stairs to the garden- Some one else was bending over a border. Some one who rtraightened and gave her a quick, glance of comprehension. "I said good-bye to your sister a few minutes ago, but there was some thing about your garden Sue liked his smile and the gleam of his white teeth, she liked his thought ful dark eyes and the touch of white at his temples. She lifted hands full' of pink poppies to him. Perhaps it was their color that touched her cheeks with pink, perhaps it was the fragrance of the garden that made her seem so sweet, for a white butter fly hovering a moment rested against her soft, dusky hair and the man said quietly: "It took you for a flower!" "Oh, Sue!" a voice called from an upper window, "stop mooning there and come in and mend my oress!" She lifted startled eyes but Robert Herndon smiled understandingly, touching the latch of the gate. A glint of humor showed in his brown eyes. "That's the way it always is in life," he smiled, "you have to go from poetry to paches!" She watched him down the walk; suddenly the daiijyas golden and the air was laden with flower sweetness. The next afternoon Sue, crossing the hall to Rosie's, pink and white room, saw the frothy white frock that she had just finished that morning for Rosie's graduation. An Impulse made her slip off her own plain dress and step into the white daintiness of the commencement frock and surveyed herself for a startled moment as she heard steps on the stairs. "Sue," Rosie said at the doorway. "Sue, where are you? That that musician person wants to see you She cried out in dismay at the Sue she saw all in white, slender, flushed, exultant. Then Sue had turned and slipped down the stairs. Before her courage left her she crossed the cool shadowy living room and faced a tall man, who stood moodily staring at a bowl of pansies. "Well," he said with evident relief In his voice. The something that leaped to his eyes brought a delicious .error to Sue. the gentle, Sue, the unprepared. He caught her hand a moment and said slowly: "Now I'm going to play the music for your poem, and you must stand beside me "But but Sue began desper ately. You can't look me in tlie eve and tell me that you didn't write that poem!" he demanded, swinging around to her. She could not. When he had played the wistful ap pealing notes of her song he turned a&nut once more. "I know I've stayed too long, but may I come tomorrow?" he begged. "And he went on, faltering a mo ment, "won't you wear thtat soft gray thing that made you look like a cloud in a white sky?" He crushed her hand suddenly in his and Sue, watching him, us he went down the path a few minutes later, wondered if this was she, this girl with a heart that beat so raptur ously. But Roeia entering at that moment assured her of realities. "Conceited old thing!"- Rosie pout ed, "just because he's organist of St. Paul's he thinks he is something. And Sue Moore," she turned in a, hot sud den anger, "if you wouldn't wear my clothes then people might see what you are." But Sue, leaning over the faint fra grance of brown pansies smiled faint ly, tenderly, as she answered: "Your frocks are too pretty for me. I'm more at home in patches." "Cinderella!" Rosamond filing over her shoulder as she left the room. Sue lifted dreamy eyes to. familiar room. "Perhaps Cinderella wrote poetry, too, in the ashes and there was a prince!" Sue, the incurably romantic, said softly. (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks WW DOROTHY PIX Vt'orU's Highest raid Wemaa Writer. The Sporting Attitude 2. The wife thinks that marriage will be one glad -sweet song with a ro mantic lover, who is always telling her how wonderful she is, and who brings her violets, and feeds her on candy, and spends his time trying to amuse and please her. The man finds out that even the most lovey-dovey sweetheart is con verted by marriage jnto a prickly crea ture, all feelings, and nerves and tem per. He also ascertains that matri mony is an expensive luxury that takes all and a little more than a man can earn. The woman finds out that marriage changes her husband from a hand some matinee hero into an unappetising stranger, who is often unshaven and unshorn, and whose principal indoor sport is knocking her. She also finds that marriage has brought her sick ness, suffering, and sacrifices of which she has never dreamed. So the man is disillusioned with the woman and the woman is disgruntled with the man, and they try to find consolations for their disappointment on shady pathways, and the result i disaster for everybody concerned. How much better if they, would eat what was set before them, and ask no questions. If they would make the best of each other, and the situation, and try to forget that they ever had a sweet tooth, tr thought that mar riage would be all pie.. All of us make mistakes as we go thru the world. We are blind and stu pid, and we blunder into pitfalls. We are foolish and credulous, and easily hoodwinked. We are careless, and in expert in our work. Some ef us have intelligence enough to acknowledge our mistakes, and profit by them, and to accept criti cism gratefully and learn from it. Others never acknowledge thelrer rors. They always blame others for their failures, and spend their time be wailing the victims they have been to circumstance. It takes courage and wisdom, and breadth lof view, to eat crow and ask no questions, but the men and women who can do it shall one day sit in the seats of the mighty. Hardest of all and truest test of character, is it to eat what is set be fore you and ask no questions when fate spreads the banquet table. Then it is that some beeorae ppmpous and chestv. and swellheaded; that they for get the friends of other days who gave them hand outs when they lacked the Drica of a meal: it is then that they become arrogant, and boastful of their achievements, and when they tell a weary world all about their limousines, and palaces and French chefs, and what sort of sauce they always; nave on their nightingale tongues. But others eat their feast of suc cess, in silence and humble gratitude for what they have been permitted to do, with the same calm acceptance of good fortune that they give to bad. Hsddy those brave souls who at the end of life can say, "I have neither whined nor boasted. I have eaten what was set before me and have asked no questions."

Questions' Answers ON SECOND THOUGHT BY JAY E. HOUSE (From Philadelphia Public Ledger.) The column's apologies to the labor board. We misjudged the quality of its spinal investiture; we underesti mated its adequacy, abdominally speaking. Our "hunch" was that, in the event of another parley, the rail unions would come out of it in drv clothing and with a pocketful of fish. Instead, the rail unions came out all wet and with an empty gunnysack. j But we hold our conjecture in the matter to have been not entirely un justified. We had grown accustomed to the flaccid hand and the fluttering heart revealed in governmental con tact with labor. It had been so long continued there was reason to believe the policy might have become in grained and permanent. So far as the column is concerned, speculation appertaining to the Hon. Ruth's impending tour of vaudeville spends itself upon two dimensions of the problem. Hon. Ruth, it is re ported, will receive an honorarium of $3,000 a week. We should like to know bow much of it is money. If any considerable portion of the trans action is financial, Hon. Ruth's re i muneration is out of line. As an in stance, the reputed salary of Eva Tan guay never was more than $2,0U0 a week. Bosco, the snake-eater, drew down only $250 in his palmiest davs. And who can say the Hon. Ruth will do more to uplift vaudeville, more to enthuse its patrons, than Miss Tan j guay at her best? The other speculation is a minor one. Will the dramatic writers kiss Hon. Ruth out of his theatrical ven-" ture as the sporting writers have kissed him out of baseball? Cullen Cain has printed a list of his favorite books. Our criticism of it is that it is prolix. A library com posed of "Huckleberry Finn" and "Whispering Smith" is big enough and comprehensive enough for anybody. Fair Warning to the Doctors. Sir If our drug stores are to be turned into pigpens, where, oh where, is a lady to get- her prescripdlons filled? Surely not to enter a place with swine. And please bear in mind, many a so-called doctor will have to answer for those he has sent to per dition from drink. A CHRISTIAN. The points raised are entitled to consideration, but we incline to the notism that "A Christian" is unneces sarily exorcised. In prohibition drug stores we have known the libations were tossed off and the commercial phases of the transaction conducted either behind the prescription -case .or in a back room. In most instances a separate pharmacist and a separate cash register were maintained for the benefit of the store's drirking clien tele. And always the front room of the establishment was highly pharma ceutical. No lady ever came into con tact with the swine who gathered in back. Except for occasional outbursts of saturated laughter, their presence was entirely concealed from her. We trust this systom, which has the sanc tion of exigency and usage, will be maintained under the new order. Nor do we 'apprehend- physicians will send many to perdition thru pre scriptions for beer. Beer is a, slow process without terminal facilities. The gentleman who is a candidate for perdition prefers a swifter and more certain agent. We take occasion to correct the er roneous notion spread by certain news papers that Mr. H. G. Wells will re port the arms parley. Mr. Wells, who arrived in this country on Thursday, will report Mr. H. G. Wells. We wish, however, to anoint the foregoing fling with the unction of soft words. Mr. Wells is a great deal more interesting than the arms parley or anything that will happen during the progress of its deliberations.

Allegro from C minor Concerto by Za bel The main movement is the al legro, requiring stupendous techni cal achievement tor production of the massive chords, rapid forte pas sages of changing chromatic color, the outstanding feature of this com position followed by sudden pianis simo effects. To Spring by Grieg-Salvi In this beautiful number Salvi brings out I the melody in harmonics with a shimmering background of accom paniment and occasional touches of orchestra color in a manner that cannot possibly be produced on a piano. Spanish Dance by Tedeski Fiery, boisterous in rapid tempo and swag gering rhythm of typical Spanish color. Fantasi Impromptu by Chopin Con structed in rapid pianissimo design with contrasting melody which Mr. Salvi brings out in harmonics. This melody is familiar and will afford great enjoyment as Salvi plays it. Norwegian Ballade by Poenitz This number is of the modern French school, of harmonic construction. It portrays some legend of the land and folk of its origin. Its first di vision is a brilliant majestic theme diminishing to a pianissmo conclu sion. The second a dreamy canta bile in which the melody stands prominent. The third a finale of modern color ending in almost in conceivable brilliance. Fantasia in B flat by Alvars An old English school harp number, some what emotional and melodic, used in variations. Dance des Sylphes by Posse Imagi nary fairy wood nymphs dancing tne juinuet. This number is de scriptive, vivid and brings before the audience the marvelous achieve ment of this master musician. Valse Brilliante by Salvi This, 'num ber comprises four themes devel oped in Tree style. It features a tnira theme built on a sustained tremolo, an effect original with Mr. Salvi. Italian Eereande by Salvi The scene is Naples overlooking the harbor. Bits of fishermen's song are heard. The original color effects are fas cinating. The Music Box by Tedeski Very short pianissimo imitation of an old fashioned music box. Tarantelle by Aptommas-Salvi This brilliant number makes abnormal technical demands on the nlaver. It has glissandos of double triplets ana caaenzas so constructed that they border on technical impossi bilities. attractive window display. Autumn Scene Is Shown by Rodders Motor Company. Kansas avenue merchants have no monopoly on attractive window dis plays. In proof whereof is cited the fifty-foot window of the Badder's Motor company, 417-23 Jackson street. The display is an autumn scene, and most any hour after school time, boys and girls are stopped in front of the windows picking out the various fea tures of the display. The whole is a scene of an autumn corn field nestled in a patch of woods, and surrounded by an old fashioned rail fence. A quail is perched in a natural position on a shock of corn, a huge rabbit with ears cocked in quiringly for a hunter's step Is just behind the shock. A squirrel, a black bird, an owl. a crow, a chicken hawk and a woodpecker complete the ani mal ensemble. Pumpkins and autumn foliage are in profusion. At one side is a Ford touring car parked beside a charred bunch of wood which sug gests a picnic dinner in the fields. The view is especially pleasing at night and i- well worth a trip to see.

Beck is one- of the most widely known men in Topeka. and has long been a leader in civic affairs. He has been prominently identified with most every movement which has had to do with the good of Topeka. He has been especially active in Red Cross work. "I accepted the leadership of the Boy Scout drive, because I consider the Boy Scouts a powertul organiza tion to combat the moral and social disintegration which is going on all over the country," said Beck. "I did not accept the job until I had carefully informed myself about the local Boy Scout situation. I found that the Topeka Boy Scout council has been at work for many months laying the plans for the work on the broadest possible lines. The Boy Scout move ment is not charity, but is an indis pensable foundation for sound future citizenship. "In asking- for $15,000 for the ensuing- year, the Boy Scout council ha3 asked for the absolute minimum. Every dollar asked for is positively needed, and will be economically dis bursed. There are 3.000 boys of scout age in Topeka who will have 4.000 un employed hours apiece during the next vear. "Tfee scouting program will fill those hours with character building training. About a hundred adult lead ers of the best and most virile type have been trained during the last six months to direct this work. Prom 2G0 to 400 others are needed and will be trained during the year. "I hope that every citizen of Topeka will realize his responsibility to the boys of Topeka, and do his full share to make the campaijwi a success." Mcx Bandits Hold Four Yanks. "Washington. Nov. 2.

s THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1921 ARE FACING DEATH Seven Million Russian Children Are Reported Starving. Less Than 1,400,000 Can Be Cared for by Americans. Washington, Nov. 2. Nearly 7,000, 000 Russian children in the Volga re glon are facing starvation. Secretary of Commerce Hoover declared today before the house military affairs com mittee. Iess than 1,400,000 of these children can be cared for by American relief efforts, the secretary said, altho it is hoped that by January the number can be increased to 2,000,000. It will not be possible to afford relief to adults. Declaring that this situation "holds a danger to America" in the possibil ity of spread of cholera and other dis eases, the secretary urged that con gress authorize the donation of sur plus army medicines and clothing for Russian relief. TO USE CITY PLANT (Continued From Page One.) in its desire to find out just what the Edison company can do now and will do in the future in the way of meeting local electrical power demands. This ability of the Edison company to meet possible emergencies will have a di rect bearing on the possible use of the city plant in supplying energy to neighboring towns or private con sumers, he said. Stanfield said it is Intention to put the Topeka city light plant on a pay ing basis if possible. He declared that as things are at present the machinery stands idle many hours each day, and asserted that the machinery would be just as well off, if not better, pro ducing energy which could be sold at a profit. As to the legal aspects of the case, the Edison company does not have an exclusive franchise in Topeka. In the franchise the city of Topeka speci fically reserves to itself "the right to own and operate a plant or plants to supply the city, or the inhabitants thereof, with electric power, heat, steam heat, or any other kind of light, heat or power." In its report to the board of di rectors of the Chamber of Commerce the industrial committee suggested that the city of Topeka utilize a cer tain sum, not specified, originally voted in bonds for the expansion of the water plant and the consolidation of the light and water plant, to install a complete municipal lighting plant for the supplying of light and power to any or all consumers in the city. Investigation proved this plan feasi ble only to the extent suggested by Stanfield today. The water and light bond issue was authorized in the amount of J535.000. To date two Issues of the bonds have been made, one for $300,000 and one for $140,000. The remaining $95,000 is authorized by the bond election but is not yet issued, and unless extensions to the light plant are decided upon probably will not be issued. City offi cials today said that the $440,000 al ready issued is thought to provide sufficient funds for the work of re modeling and extending the water plant and consolidating with It the present electric light and power plant. However, D. H. Branaman, city attorney, declared today that in his opinion the remaining $95,000 could be made available for use in enlarging the present capacity of the light plant to meet whatever light needs the peo ple of Topeka might put upon it. He limited the extensions to the 195 000 available. .,.t. 3Lttinf iu was ques tioned on this subject also, and said that the $95,000 would enlarge the present city plant to a total capacity of 3,500 kilowatt hours or equal to what the Chamber of Commerce In dustrial committee alleged to be the capacity of the Edison company. Stan field said, however, that this amount for expansion as suggested would be wholly absorbed at the plant and would not provide funds for the erec tion of pole and transmission lines. He also pointed out that the increase would only put the city plant on a par with the present capacity of the Edi son plant and would not aid in easing the situation as far as it relates to al leged insufficient power. As a possible solution of the situa tion, Stanfield said that it may be possible that the city will accept or ders to deliver power- to factories, mills and industrial purposes, but that no effort at all would be made to invade the domestic lighting and power activities of the Edison com pany. Even the action cited would be based entirely on the attitude and demands of the people of the city, he said.

Io you think the legislature should take care of the diphtheria epidemic, instead of appealing to outside char ity? THE ANSWERS. MRS. LILLA DAY MONROE "I am sorry. Oh, so very, very sorry. It is such an embarrassing situation for the state. The fund for welfare work in New York City was fifteen times as great as the entire appropri ation by the legislature for the work in Kansas. I want to give credit for all the fine things that hae been done. But there is a shame behind the necessity of our state seeking" alms with which to care for the health ot her citizens. KARL AKERS, president Kansas Reserve bank "Kansas pride will be injured mightily in the humiliation of asking charity for money with which to guard the health of the state's own children. There can hardly be a more embarrassing situation. Our children surely mean as much to our state as our hogs and cattle. If we are to guard their morals, we ought also to give some heed to their physical health. The next legislature ought to be thoroly impressed with the impor tance of this matter." MRS. J. D. McFARLAND "It Is a shame. The mothers of Kansas made a hard fight for adequate appropria tions for hygiene and health work. It isn't a comforting matter at this time to tell the world that we must beg or enough money to protect the health of citizens of the state." R. R. COOK, principal of Topeka high school "By all means. There is no reason why we cannot look after our own affairs in this state. I con- J aider the board of health one of the j most important state boards and it j should be considered so." I DR. EARLE G. BROWN, city health officer "It surely should. I can't imagine any excuse which the legislators have to offer for the miser ly way In which they treated the state health department. If they were asked to call a special session to fight an epidemic or hog cholera over the state they would appropriate all the money necessary for the job. I can't see any reason for their niggardliness. The Kansas state health department is recognized all over the Union, but it certainly didn't get support from the legislators."

W. F. HUGHES, life In surance "You bet your bottom do lar tney snould have provided for fighting a diphtheria epidemic Our legislatures are getting penny-wise and pound foolish. It amounts almost to a disgrace to the state that we should have to appeal for outside chanty In this case. COMPLETE STRAINER PITS. Progress Made On New City Filtration Plant. The strainer pits at the Intakes of the new city filtration plants, have been Completed. Brass strainers have been placed over the two twenty-four- inch intake lines to remove leaves. sticks debris and the like, which might interfere with the pumps.

The Installation of the new plant will make them available again. 1 NO MI IK FOR BREAKFAST. All New York Hit by Strike Mayor Hylan Tries to Mediate. New York, Nov. 2. Citizens of the metropolitan area arose again this morning to breakfast without milk and cream, the second day of the milk handlers' strike, with slight prospect oi a striKe settlement In sight. Representatives of the employers' organization, the jnilk conference board and milk wagon drivers' union were called to the office of Mayor tiyian today to discuss possible terms of settlement. Both sides expressed little hope or reaching a settlement. Your state of health largely depends upon the food you eat No one who is physically idling In any way can afford to take chances with the food he eats. For upon the selection of your food, and upon its perfect digestion and assimilation largely de pends your state of health. The most important thing in connection with the digestibility of any cereal food is the way it is prepared and the length of time it is cooked or baked. Grape-Nuts, the rich cereal food made from whole wheat flour and malted barley, is probably baked longer than any other cereal food. A large part of the starch of the wheat and barley is changed into dextrin and grape-sugar in preparing Grape-Nuts. This is one reason why Grape-Nuts is so easily digested by even the most delicate people. Grape-Nuts is wheat and barley so processed as to make it delicious and appetizing even young children thrive on It and grow strong and rosy. Go to your grocer today and get a package of Grape-Nuts. Eat it as a cereal with milk or cream, or make it into a delicious pudding. It will be enjoyed and relished by every member of the family.

The audience which attended the talk was not large, but was attentive and interested in the subject. It was made up chiefly of older persons. Doctor Millard explained, in non technical language, the nature of the disease, and urged his hearers to be ware of the guaranteed pastes and other preparations which are "war ranted to cure."

Important developments were today reported im pending in the case of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, who is scheduled to go on trial next Monday for manslaughter as a result o tire death of Virginia Rappe. Leaving ostensibly on personal busi ness, Isadore Golden, chief assistant of District Attorney Matthew Brady, to day was speeding eastward, his exact destination unknown. His departure came soon after telegraphic advices from Chicago and New York indicated that Attorney Charles Brennan of the defense was gathering evidence in the form of depositions which seriously attacked the state's case. Affidavits taken in Chicago by Brennan bared the past life of the dead girl. Previously the defense had announced the character of Miss F.appe would not be attacked. District Attorney Brady challenged the truth of the Chicago statements and declared that if character was to be made an issue, he was prepared to picture the film comedian in a highly undesirable light. On top of this came word that Lowell Sherman, an actor, had made affidavit in New York that Arbuckle was never alone with Miss Rappe at the gay hotel party following which she died. -When Sherman went east, Brady declared means would be found to force his return here, hinting at in dictment which would be only means by which he could be returned.

A short circuit in electric wiring in the house at 326 Branner street, re sulted in a call to the fire department at 8 o'clock this morning. There was no fire and no damage. "We have answered several calls similar to this which resulted when too much domestic apparatus was con nected up, and the lighting circuit was faulty or unable to carry the load. I have known of cases in which the fuses were repeatedly blown out in this way, and heavier fuses were put in fuses heavier than the circuit would bear," Chief Hanlon said today. "I don't know- that this fire was caused in that manner, but I do know what too much electric apparatus can be hooked up to the electric lighting circuit for safety."

M 1 Industrial Court Tries To Forget Mine Strike Fifth Floor of State House Is Quiet, Restful Place Io Attention Paid to Important Developments in Nation Wide Strike, or to Trouble in Kansas. The industrial court is seemingly trying to forget the mine strike- Nor does it want to be disturbed with the possibility of a nation-wide tie-up in production. The fifth floor of the state house is such a quiet, restful place, fairly well heated and fully re moved from contentions and diaputec of, the coal diggers. Maybe that wasN the reason the court didn't want to bi aroused today by dUcussion of worldly affairs. Almost every day there are impor tant developments in the strike situ ation. A! K. Williams. United States district attorney, has asserted that the miners who wish to work must be protected. A nation-wide mine strike is threatened if Judge Anderson's in- junction against the "check off" is en- forced. The State journal wanted an expression from the court affecting its attitude toward the "Williams state ment and the general strike threat. Presiding Judge Hugging was In his office. He said he was still standing on his original statement. 'I have said all along that the man who wants to work must be protect ed." he declared. "But I am the mi nority member of the court and not i expected to talk." Judge McDermott was in conference with a woman who had come to gather information regarding the in dustrial court to be used in a high school debate. Baxter McClain. attor ney for the court, was entertaining Judge Crawford with a humorous story about a negro who once drank too much lightning rod liquor and went to sleep. So with McClain's story out of the way. Judge Crawford was interviewed. A So r leg of Nods. The interview was a series of nods and a few spoken words. Judge Crawford exhibited unusual ability In wagging his head. He nodded both yes and no in response to almost every question. Then in apparent despera tion he asserted that the law didn't compel the court to say what it was doing, going to do or even thought. "What will the court do if Lewis carries out his threat of a general strike Judge Crawford nodded. It looked like no. It might have been yes. "Will the state take over the mines?" Another nod. Same way. "Do you believe the court will do anything?" Another nod. Then the labor court judge expostulated. "Now look here if you think you are going to get me to talk you're mistaken."

"Well, do you think they should be protected No answer. "Do you expect to assure them pro tection Even the nod had gone. Judge Crawford merely looked off into space.

Judge Crawford came back with a tired yes and no nod that seemed so sorely to make clear that questions were rude interruptions. "Don't you think the public is en titled to know about these matters?" "I "don't know that there is any thing in the law to compel us to talk about them," came the unexpected but emphatic response.

Two of Shawnee county's finest pieces of statuary wore destroyed by vandals Halloween nipht. White metal figures representing "Clio, Goddess of History," and "Flora," bofh of which j have stood in the front yard of the Col. J. W. F. Hughes home at 235 j Greenwood avenue for a quarter of a century, are now only heaps of junk as the result of the barbarous cus tom that belongs to the middle ages. Early in the evening some boys in the neighborhood bent upon "cele brating" the night entered the Hughes yard and tipped over the statues. The head of "Flora" and one of the arms were broken off and one of the arms of "Clio" was broken. Their beauty and appearance destroyed, the figures now will be sold for junk. Tfeeir in trinsic value was estimated at $500. They were worth many times this amount in their historic and sentimen tal value. The figures were purchased by the late G. T. Clark, father of Mrs. Hughes and former secretary of the local gas company. They reposed in the front yard of his home for fifteen year's before the place was purchased by Colonel Hughes, who has resided there for the last ten years. "With the exception of the Lincoln statue on the state house ground there were prob ably no other metnl figures in the county which approached these in beauty and grandeur Perhaps a public which recognizes vandalism of this nature as an ap propriate means of "celebrating" Hal loween will not regret the destruction of these beautiful Greek figures. But to Colonel Hughes and his family and others with finer senses and agreater respect for the property of others their loss will serve to arouse a more severe sentiment against a custom which is at once meaningless, bar barous, unlawful, without excuse and which should be absolutely abolished.

Kor;n C., KV-IS, Stm- WHEAT IN GOO CONDITION Kaslorn ,Knss Cirtratly Bene fited by Halns Saturday and Sun day Corn Husking General (Her Kansas. By 8. T. Flora, Meteoralo 1st.) Eastern Kansas was favored with fine rains last Saturday and Sunday that totalled from one to two inches in the northeast counties, and near half an inch in the southeast, but most the central and western counties are soil very dry, according to" reports of 100 correspondents of the weather bureau. The fine Indian summer weather continued tho fore part of the w-eek, with temperatures averaging: several degrees above normal. On the 127th there was a rather severe freeze in the western counties, which resulted in very little damage, however, as most crops had matured and, owing to the extreme dry weather, frost did not form sufficiently to kill tender vegeta tion, such as tomato vines, some of which are still green. Wheat was greatly benefited where the rains fell, and is looking fine in the eastern section. In the western half and the north-central counties as I far east as Clay and Marshall, it is snowing the efrecta of vthe drought rather badly. From Ford and Lane counties west most of the seed is still lying in dust, where it was sown sev eral weeks ago, while in the north western counties, where seeding began in August, a considerable part of it has turned yellow and died, altho recent rains there greatly improved stands still alive. A soaking rain would work wonders thru the dry counties where the present outlook is decidedly pessimistic. In the southwest counties 10 to 35 per cent of the aeedinr is being delayed for rains heavy enough to sprout the crop. Corn husking is now general over the state. Pastures are dry in ail sec tions except where the recent rains fell. CHINA DEFAILTS PAVMEXT. Five mid Half Million and Interest Already Extended Yet Unpaid. Washington. Nov. 2.

The lowest possible reduction of taxi cab rates, making rates lower than those in Kansas City, will be effected by the Installation of a meter system on Yellow Cabs here, according .o John G. Williams, secretary of the National Association of Taxicab Own ers, of Washington, D. C, who is here today visiting Roy Payne, operator of the Yellow Cnb company. Williaqns says the most satisfactory charge system, both from the stand point of the paying ptiblic and the taxi operators, has proved to be the meter system whereby the customer pays fixed rate for each mile or part of a mile traveled. Under a flat rate cus tomers sometimes feel that they have been overcharged for a short haul be cause it would be possible to ride fur ther for the same fare. Meters have been perfected that cannot be tam pered with by taxi drivers, protecting both the firm and the customer. Payne will probably install this meter system if it proves that Topeka senti ment cons'ders it desirable. The Yellow Cab company of Topek.a was classified by Williams as one of the best conducted transportation systems he has ever examined. OIL MAN GAVE UP J. S. Packer Spent Thousands Looking For Relief.

The titles are as follows: "Evening" (sunset near Manitou, Colo.) "Black Canyon" (near Manitou); "The Edge of the Range" (motif from Mt. Manitou); "Arizona;" "Among the Hills" (scene in Coronado Heights near Linsborg) "Early Fall, Smoky River" (Smoky Hill river near Lindsborg) "Willows by the Rio Grande" (San Felipe val ley. New Mexico); "Two Pines;" "Moonrise Cedars;" "Pines and Rocks;" "The Great Peak" (Pike's Peak), and "Chinese Woolflowers." Sandzen has exhibited in many im portant art centers of both hemis pheres and the, art press has paid him many fattering compliments.
