I I FRENCH DENIALS OF CHITA CHARGE TAKEN WITH SALT Officially United States Must Accept Word of Paris. But Indications Point Strongly to Truth of Siberian Charge. EIG POWERS ARE ON WATCH Chita Delegates Satisfied With Bomb Thrown in Parley. State Department Consents to Examine Proof Offered. Washington, Jan. 3. Great Britain will offer no opposition to the adop tion by the arms conferenec of any form ofN resolution n amendment to the four-power treaty which will make it clear that the convention does not apply to the Japanese homeland. This was the statement made today by a British spokesman who added, however, that it was not for the Brit ish delegates to take the initiative. Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes have been approached by the Chinese arms delegation regarding the existing deadlock with the Japanese on Shuntung and have been asked to mediate, it was learned today on high authority. Utlicve France "Officially." Despite the denial so vehemently announced by French and Japanese delegations in Washington that a se cret agreement exists between their governments over mutual policies to be pursued in Siberia, the question w;ts uppermost in the minds of the conference delegates today when they resumed work after the holidays. Officially, the denials of the French and Japanese have been accepted by the Ame ican gov rnment. Between the words of two recognized and friendly powers and the word of an unrecognized, uninvited, new repub lic of doubtful stability, there can be but one choice so far as the United fctatts government officially is con cerned. Powers Are On Watch. The publication of these alleged eecret agreen.eitts by the unofficial tlelegates of the Far Kast (Chita) gov ernment, however, has served to draw maximum attention to the whole ques tion of Siberia, which is due to be taken up b ihe conference shortly. In view of the disclosures made, the attitudes of the French and Japanese over the matter of a resolution pledg ing the powers to observe the territor ial and perhaps the administrative in tegrity of Russia and Siberia, will be w atched with absorbing interest by the other powers of the conference. Wilt Kxamine Papers. There wero no indications today that the United States plans to take advantage of the Chita delegates' in vitation to have their papers exam ined a state department represen tative. As a matter of tact, there are known to be in the files of the state department reports from American observers in the Far Kast which bear a general resemblance to the docu ment made public here in such start ling fashion by the Far Kasterners. These reports date back months ago before the advent of the republican ad m.mst ration. "I'mlf rstniKlins Humored. Norman H. Davis, under secretary of state in the latter days of the Wil son administration, is known to have expressed the opinion in his secret appearances before the senate foreign relations committee that a Franco Jap;! nor e "understanding" with, re gard to Russia and Siberia aliteady was in existence or was being worked out. Meanwhile. Boris Skvirsky, M. Yazikut'f and other members of the Far Kustern delegation here are con tent to rest on their oars for the time being. They reiterated today that they have other documents bearing on Franco-Japanese intrigue in the Far Kast, a nd t hat these may be made public at the proper moment. Jlscusscl t'norfieiully. None of the powers of the Wash ington conference are "officially" tak ing an.- cognizance of the Chita dis closures, but "unofficially" the revela tions are being discussed almost to the exclusion .f submarines and the date i the conference adjournment, two highly regarded to participate of con versation for the past ten days. The conference itself moved stead ily toward adjournment today. Indi cations were when the experts re sumed the gathering up of loose ends of the naval program that the five powered naval treaty will be ready for submission to a plenary session of the conference by the "last of this week. The one deterrent factor is the Root resolution, proposing restrictions that virtually kill the submarine as a legal veapon of warfare.

The 1'ennsylania seeks to restrain the board from declaring that the road has violated its order in con nection with the methods to be em ployed in the election of employ rep resentatives.

The successful 1921 fair, despite ad verse weather conditions, was a dis tinct compliment to the officers in charge, it was agreed by the board of directors this afternoon. The Patten Eastman combination was adjudged adequate to guarantee another exposi tion of note for next fail. The directors also took up the plans for a concrete grandstand to replace the wooden stands now in use. To finance such a proposition has been an ambition of the directors for the last three years. j Phil 1 Jistman. It was decided to arranse immedi ately far the fintncial campaign that would guarantee the erection of a modern grandstand to seat 7,500 per sons for the 191' 3 fair. It is believed that it will not require more than $60,000 to build a stand of this ca pacity. The board of managers will arrange the details. It was brought out at the meeting today that the fair association, under the efficient management last season had $3,600 in lhe treasury with which to enter the operation of the 1922 ex position. Also that the association is clear of ali indebtedness and $18,000 has been spent on permanent im provements in the last year. TO HEAR APPEAL U. S. Supreme Court to Consider Jlowat Appeal February 27. Hearing Sefo Today Involves Constitutionality of Law. DOES NOT TOUCH EMPLOYER Only Lafcor Leaders5 Flight To Be Considered by Court. Appeals Grew Out of -Citation on Contempt Charge. Washington, Jan. 3. The supreme court of the United States assigned for hearing on February 27 the ap peals of Alexander Howat and other labor leaders convicted in Kansas of contempt of court for failure to obey an order of the- Kansas court of in dustrial relations. The labor leaders contend that the court was created under an unconsti tutional law. Importance of the Howat appeals court affects mainly the right of the j slate to control strike situations. Fea tures 'of the law involving the indus trial court's right to regulate and con trol the employer are not raised in the cases to be heard next month in Washington. That phase of the law is to be tested in the Wolff Packing company case. To Consolidate Appeals? Judge W. L. Huggins, presiding judge of the industrial court, believes the two appeals before the supreme court at the present time wil1 be con solidated. The main issue involves the right of a labor leader to call a strike under the state law and the right of the state to enforce continu ous operation of essential industries in the. face of industrial disputes. One of the Howat appeals grew out of the action of the Crawford county district court for citing Howat and his lieutenants for contempt when they refused to obey a summons from the industrial court in 1920. The sec ond case grew out of Howat's action in refusing to bow to an injunction from the Crawford county court directing him not to call a strike. Lost Appeals In State Court. Both Howat appeals wera lost by the labor leader before the state supreme court. He secured writs of error and took his cases before the United States supreme court. Pending these deci sions he gave bond. At present Howat is serving a six months' term in the Cherokee county jail at Columbus. Application for a writ of habeas corpus to secure his release is now pending before Judge John C. Pollock of the United States district court. The case was submit ted in Kansas City Tuesday and briefs will be filed this week by attorneys for Howat and for the state. Recently attorneys representing the state went to vvasnmgton at an ex pense to the state of some $600 to learn, if possible, when the United States supreme court would hear an application to advance the case. Now, it seems, the court has assigned the case without hearing the Kansas law yers. None of them were in Wash ington when the case was assigned None of thern appeared before the higher court when they went to Wash ington recently. TO CALL ON BANKS Preferred Stock in Hotel Com pany Directors Xext Objective.

B. Gufler, president of the temporary board of directors of the company, said today. Gufler reported on the status of the hotel project to the di rectors of the Chamber of Commerce. Letters are now being written to the banks and trust companies, asking for their agreements. There have been subscribed in this fashion $94,000 worth of the preferred stock, Gufler said today, and not all of the banks have signed up. Some of them, in addition, have given their verbal agreement to underwrite their share of the stocks. Others have not been seen at alL "The reason that we have not signed them all up yet is that we wished to wait and see that all the common stock was disposed of. Otherwise the agreement would have been null and void anyhow," Gufler said. After all the banks and trust com panies have signed up for their pro portion or the stock, another sellin drive by the Chamber of Commerce will be staged. The present plans are to have the campaign open January 17 and to canvass individuals and firms in person for the sale of the preferred stock. WHEAT PRICES TAKETUMBLE Bunk Reorganization Causes Big X n i Chicago, Jan. 3.

Professional Beauties Are Too Temperamental To Live With, He Claims Berlin Architect Sued for Divorce, Answers Plea With De fense That American Actress by Taking Part in Anti German Film, Made Life Unbearable for Him. Berlin, Jan. 3. The unique plea that a professional beauty is too tem peramental for any husband to live with' is part of the defense that is be ing arranged by counsel for Walter Osterle, prominent German architect, who is being sued for divorce by a Chicago actress known on the stage as Anna Horn a. Miss Roma also charges sterle with bigamy and with defrauding her out of $100,000. Before her marriage, the actress was Arma Shellman. She claims that, after their marriage, her husband got large sums of money from her and eventually left her. She traced him to Berlin, where, she as serts, she found him living with his first wife, from whom he had never been divorced. Defense Is Sensational. Osterle's lawyer is working up a sensational line of defense. Too much PASS AJOPE LAW Emergency "Bone Dry" Meas ure Before City Commission. Ordinance Assesses Heayy Fine Against All Violators. With a large percentage of the crimes committed in Topeka charged up to dope and dope fiends, the city commission th's morning passed, as an emergency measure, a. bone dry dope ordinance. The ordinance makes it unlawful to have dope in possession, as well as to sell it or to give it away, for other than medicinal purposes. "The ordinance doesn't yet go as far as we'd like to have it go. But it is limited by the state law on the sub ject," Mayor Herbert J. Corwine said this morning. "The dope fiend is the leader in the criminals with whom we have to deal. He is responsible es pecially for burglary and petty thiev ing. Under the influence of drugs, he is unreliable, and cannot get emuloy ment. No one will hire him, and he steals. The dope fiends contribute largely to the unemployment situa tion, also." Fine of From $100 to $500. The ordinance assesses a fine of from $100 to $500 and a jail penalty or irom thirty days to six months against violators. It is against the or dinance to have in possession, or to permit any person to have in posses sion, opium or coca leaves or any of their derivatives, which are not plain ly for medicinal use. The ordinance does not interfere with the function of physicians, vet erinary surgeons, nurses, and drug gists, who are considered proper per sons to have the drugs in their posses sion, and to sell, give them away, or dispense them. The new law is carefully drawn to protect the legitimate dispensings of the drugs, and to "soak" the man who has no business with them in his pos session. passed as Emeregency Measure. It was passed today as an emerg ency measure, and published this af ternoon, in an effort to slip up on some o the persistent drug fiends who are making the work of the po lice department difficult, and catch them before they have time to dispose of their supplies. With the offender in jail charged with an offense, the officers say, treatment can be given, under compulsion. Under the present 1 trt rin.- himself is willing.

Her beauty enabled her to get on the stage and into the movies. Osterle con tends that, owing to his wife's pro nounced anti-German attitude, he was forced to leave her. Osterle alleges further that she played a, prominent part In an anti German film called the "Beasts of Berlin" and enacted the role of the tortured Belgian mother in another anti-German play, in which she was advertised as the grand niece of Cap tain Dreyfus of France. Miss Roma was known before her retirement from the stage as the "mil lionaire dollar beauty." Her counsel is preparing a strong fight in view of the sentiment which might be aroused in behalf of Osterle thru the charges of hostility to Germany.

The adminis tration would bo directed under a reso lution introduced today by Represen tative Reavis, Republican Nebraska, to demand repayment by France of money loaned to her by the United States during war. Mr. Reavis in a statement said prompt payment of the debt should be insisted upon because France has Indicated her intention of expending "large sums of money on increased naval armament." The resolution did not mention France by name but in his formal statement, Mr. Reavis stated that it was directed at France because of her stand at the armament conference on the submarine question. The text of the resolution follows: "Whereas, the proceedings of the con ference on the limitation of armaments disclose a determination on the part of certain debtor nations of the United States to expend lnrge sums of money on in creased naval armament "lteeolred by the house of representa tives (the senate concurring) that it is ih, iiosiM nf pAnpm!! that the govern ment of the United States advise such I nation or nations, thru the proper chan nels, that the pavment of obligations now ilue to the United Mates will be accepti- ble."

Telephones Senate Leaders of His Intention. TAKE TOGA WITH KO DELAY Be on Way to Washington in Twenty-Four Hours. Need for Vote on Newberry Decision His Reason. Washington, Jan. 3. Governor Wil liam C. Sproul, of Pennsylvania, as sured Republican leaders of the sen ate over the long distance telephone today that within twenty-four hjurs after the funeral of Boies Penrose, he would be on his way here as Penrose's senatorial successor. Senator Watson, of Indiana, one of the Republican leaders of the senate and a close personal friend of Senator Penrose, was among those who talked with Governor Sproul over the tele phone from here. William C. Sproul. No doubt was entertained by Sen ator Watson or other administration spokesmen that Sproul had made up his mind to succeed Penrose, by first resigning as governor and then having himself appointed senator by Lieuten ant Governord Beidieman, who would succeed him to the governorship. WiU Help Newberry. The closeness of the senate fight over the Ford-Newberry elections con test was said to have been the chief reason for the desire of the Republi can leaders that Penrose's seat be quickly filled. They admitted they needed every vote they can muster to keep New berry in his seat. It was learned that they are banking on Sproul to join the Republicans who will vote to allow Newberry to retain, his seat. The senate was only in session c few minutes today. Meeting prompt' iy at noon, Senator Lodge, the major- j ity leader, arose and said the senate had learned with "profound sorrow" of the death of Senator Penrose. He thereupon presented a joint resolution of adjournment, which was quickly accepted. Old Guard Lcadcrlcss. i The passing of Senator Boies Pen rose and of the influence exerted on national- opinion by the Republican "old guard" leadership which he typi fied, was uppermost in the minds of botb house and senate today when they convened after the holiday recess. Out of respect to Penrose, an ad journment of both chambers until to morrow was taken promptly. A realignment of Republican com mittee assignments made necessary by the vacancy caused by Penrose's death was well under way with Senator Mc Cumber, of North Datkota, to succeed him as chairman of the all-important senate finance committee. Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jer sey was seeking the vacancy caused by McCumber moving on the commit tee, while Republican members of the "agricultural bloc" were striving to have one of their number, notably Senator McNary, of Oregon, selected. Be Several Days' Scramble. Several days probably will elapse before the Republican committee on committees is able to work out a pro gram which will end the scramble for ctmmittee assignments. Six months at least of strenuous la- r confronts congress, with consid erable legislation of the most impor tance to be disposed of. The first thing of a political con troversial nature to engage the sen- ate's action will be the Ford-Newberry election contest, final consideration of of which is to be begun by unanimous con-ent on Friday The so-called anti-lynching bill is one of the first measures the house will tackle.

A compromise on the Irish treaty by which th pact vould be passed by Dail Eireann witU the understanding that Eamonn de Valera would continue to lead opposi tion against it and against th pro visional government established under its authority, was suggested to Dail Eireann this afternoon by Michael Collins, but de Valera rejected it. Collins proposed his scheme as a "way out of the difficulty." "The men and women who are op posing the peace treaty would con tinue against it." said Collins. "If the treaty is rejected, then the British. pnti-treaty faction) let the reaty go thru and let them fight the provisional government upon this issue." Much Bitterness Expressed. Bitterness and high feeling were displayed by both sides in the resump tion by the Dail today of debate on the Anglo-Irish treaty. The animos ity between tho factions seemed far more sharply drawn than before the adjournment for the holidays and was rHPOnvenine todav following its holi- day recess in plunging again into sharp debate on the Anglo-Irish treaty. It had before it once more an order of the day calling for consideration ct both Arthur Griffith's ratification meeting and Eamonn de Vaiera's al ternative proposals. It was not generally thought the de bate would run many days longer, many members anticipating A vote by Thursday night or Friday. An op ponent of the treaty. Art O'Connor of South Kildare, Dail minister of agri culture openg today's debate with, an argument that the treaty was a step backward and a declaration of belief i that the real heart of the Irish peopla i had not changed, despite the numer ous resolutions by various Doaies in favor of the pact. Campaign Hart Pact. O'Connor asserted the campaign since the Dail's adjournment had in reality hurt the treaty, declaring It had been waged by people who had never done any good work for the, country and were now "howling at us." He attacked the southern Union ists, saying the people of Ireland would have none of them let the Irish free state.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1922 2 VICTORY IS NAMED; Highway Wins Important Fight In the West. Gets State and federal Aid in Utah and era da. The highway Improvement work to he done in Utah and Nevada In con structing and maintaining a motor highway between Salt Lake City and Nevada, is to be concentrated upon the Victory H jhway between those two points. A report published in the Salt Lnkc City Tribune, of Saturday morning, December 81, carries a long j-aecount of the bitter fipht which has been waset1. In that state over the choice of routes. "The state highway commissions of ltah and Nevada, and the federal government have selected the Victory highway the Wcmlovor route be tween Salt Lake City and Ren as the primary east and west syst?m of I he two states, which is the only thru route upon which government aid can nov bt obtained,' says the Salt Lake City paper. All differences Settled. "Time has settled all the squabbles ever the route. The ".Vendover read j has been completed this fall, and will be formally opened for travel next year. The decision has been made be cause the Victory highway is: "The shortest possible and most di rect route between Salt Lake City and Keno. "It will cost less tp build and to maintain. "it will serve a greater local popu lation. "It has less miles of actual doscrt. "Its scenic value is-as great, if not erefiter, than that of any other route. "It comes nearer being an all-year route, because it avoids practically all the mountain passes. "It is the route selected by two transcontinental railroads, the trans continental telephone and later by tho transcontinental air ma:l service. The last and trout important rea son of all is safety to the tourist. Hi will never be more than five miles from water or help at a town, railroad station or section house." The article in the Salt Lake City paper is prepr.red and signed by Ben V, Redman, president of the Salt Lako Rotary club; F. C. Schramm, president of the Salt ike Commercial club; M A. Keyser president of the Utah State Automobile association, and Wesley R. King, president of the Presidents' cluo Salt Lake civic organization), and by S. D. Evans, Charles Tyng and George E. Keyser. formerly council for tha Lincoln highway in Utah.

Victory Officials Help. The preaentatioi of the case of the Wendover cutoff -n by the Vic tory Highway association, which re sulted in its adoption by the Utah and Nevada highway commissions as their primary east and west road, was due. to the efforts of the officers of the Victory Highway association who have devoted much of the time since the. inception of the project to guarantee ing,, a feasible tourists' road across thnl state.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1922 HOLDS OUTt PALM French Anxious for Alliance With Great Britain. Adopt Moderation as Policy for Supreme Council. WILL EXPLAIN NAVAL PROGRAM German Indemnity Chief Ques tion To Be Decided. Near East Supplants Far East at Cannes. Paris, Jan. 3. Premier Briand and Louis Loucheur, minister for liberated regions, will depart for Cannes this evening. According to an interview appearing in the Paris eaition of the London Daily Mail, the premier will hold forth the olive branch of con ciliation to the British premier on his arrival. The premier pleaded for closer ties between France and Great Britain. Must Ally With British. "The key to the whole European situation and to France's security is a pact of alliance with Great Britain," he said. '"France has repeatedly asked for such an alliance and has made known her willingness to enter into it. "It would be the best proof that our naval pi ogram is not directed against our British friends. Let there be a strong pact between Great Bri tain and France, which will gradually absorb other alliances. "Other allies can be taken in from time to time tinder agreements similar to that in the Pacific treaty. But the Franco-British pact must be the basis of them all." Three Big Questions. Three t.-oublesome questions will come up at the supreme council at Cannes on vhich the French and British hold divergent views. 1. German indemnity. 2. France's naval aspirations. 3. The situation in the Near East. It is taken as a foregone conclusion that M. Brianu will renew the re quest he made in his recent confer ence with Premier Lloyd George in London, namely, that allied fiscal com missions of control should be sent into Germany to supervise ihe finances of the nation. The British oppose any such move. Near East To Come rp. On the naval issue, the British arc hostile to France's demands for a big fleet of submarines and light cruisers. As to the Near East Britis?. senti ment has favored the Greeks, while the French showed sympathy for the Turkish nationalists by entering into a treaty with them. The British re cently arranged a large loan for Greece. Premier Gounaris of Greece is al ready at Cannes to discuss the allies' plans for peace intervention between thj Greeks and the Turkish national ists. DR. SKINNER TELLS OF CANCER Kansas City Physician Addresses Shawnee Medical Society. "Cancer is essentially a disease of civilization," Dr. E. H. Skinner, of Kansas City, Mo., told the physicians of Shawnee county at the regular meeting of the Shawnee County Medi cal society at the ELks club Monday evening. Dr. Skinner thoroly dis cussed cancer with the doctors. He pointed out that while cancer Is on the increase in civilized countries, it is almost never met with among savage peoples. It is also rare, he pointed out. among people who do not use salt, "pre-digested foods" and condiments. "There were 90,000 deaths from cancer in the United States last year," Dr. Skinner said "double the number of battle deaths in the A. B. P. "The rate of death from cancer is increasing, without doubt," Dr. Skin ner said. "The rate of increase is doubtless due to the fact that cancer is more generally recognized now than formerly, and deaths which were really caused by cancer in the past were not credited to it. "Pain is a useless sympton of can cer, because it develops only after there is a marked development of the cancer." There were sixty deaths from can cer in Topeka during 1921, an in crease of five deaths over the record of the previous year. FRENCH DENIALS (J7onMnedPromPitge One.) ferring it to their home governments lor instruction. "uch Doubt of Boot Plan, Strong doubt was expressed whether ioe kooi resolution would be adopted as it lies. Indications were that the French and Japanese, at least, will de cline to approve it, r.ltho they have ""i received nnaj instructions from tneir respective governments. The sentiment among the delegates here, however, is against it. The opinion was expressed in responsible quarters xnut ine naval treaty ultimately will go no farther than pledging the pow ers to observe existing international law in the "visit and search" of mer chant vessels by submarines in war time. Methods of scrapping existing ton rage, methods of replacement and the date on which replacement construe tion can begin, are other minor points umt remain to De adjusted. It Is possible, too, that consideration of Chinese problems will be resumed tnis week. Negotiations are under way for a reopening of the Chino Japanese conversations over the re turn of Shantung which were discon tinued when a deadlock was reached over tne matter of railroad contorl. Continue aval Terms Study. Naval experts of the arms confor. ence delegations continued today their study of technical details remaining to semea in connection with the naval limitation agreement while other naval and far eastern questions formed the subject of informal con ferences for many of the delegates. Final adjustment of the limitation agreement was still looked for by the end of the week. In the far eastern field there was also another meeting today for the sub-committee appointed to formulate new tariff program for China. Chicago Bandits Rob Theater. Chicago. Jan. 3.

III., Jan. 3 WHEAT Liquida tion set in shortly after the opening and continued right thru the session, increas ing in volume as the market got into new low ground. There was very little news in circulation and the only thing given any consideration whatever was the disturbing financial news growing out of the an nounceioeiit that one of the largest banks in the country had been compelled to ab- J sorb another large Chicago bank. This created a very bad feeling despite evi dence from other directions that the worst j of the financial crisis is passed and thnt business conditions are on the mend. The Federal Reserve board in its review re ported that they find business improving all over the countrv. Cash prices in all markets were lower with the futures but the demand was fully equal to the supply and spot markets were by no means weak. Primary receipts for three davs totalled only 808,000 bushels. The Tisible supply chnnge was unimportant.

St. Louis, Jan. 3. Four persons are dead and three are in serious condi tion here today and a number of oth ers sustained minor Injuries as the re sult of a series of automobile accidents here yesterday and last night. Two of the dead were small boys. In one of the killings the driver of the automobile failed to stop. Six deaths have resulted from traffic ac cidents since Saturday night, four of which were caused by automobiles and two from street car accidents. The two boys killed last night, Gus tave H. Klemme, age 5, and his broth er William, age 7, were thrown from an automobile driven by their father, Gustave U. Klemme, when their auto mobile overturned after hitting a cul vert. Mrs. G. TJ.

VALERA REJECTS fCcatlnned f roa Pure One.) The climax of the stubborn battle which was to decide the fate of the Irish peace treaty was reached today when Dail Eireann convened to con tinue the deliberations broken off for the Christmas holidays. There was a general feeling of confidence that the pact would be ratified. During the re cess of Dail sentiment in favor of the treaty increased. Will Continue Fight. That Eamonn de Valera and his ad herents opposing the treaty intend to continue the fight for a republic even if the pact is ratified, was shown by the fact that a newspaper "The Re public of Ireland" the personal or-- gan of De valera, made its appearance today. The initial issue printed a scathing attack upon the treaty and announced boldly that the struggle for an Irish republic would.be con tinued. The action of the opposition In launching a newspaper as a vehicle of tneir contention, showed that two powerful factions already have grown up in Irish politics and that the old Sinn Fein party is split.

Turner, a Burlingame busi ness man, George and Joe Elliott, operators, appeared before the mer chants' board to ask for co-operation in selling more Osage coal to Topeka consumers. At least 95 per cent of Burlingame's goods are purchased from Topeka wholesalers, according to the visiting committee. The retail stores of Topeka reap almost as great a harvest. It is no more than fair play for Topeka to use more Burlin game coal, they told the board. At present local coal dealers are pushing Illinois coal, according to Turner. Osage county coal is equally as good, and can be retailed at a lower price. The Burlingame men asked that some form of cc-operation be worked out, so that opeka and Osage county could I do business in a neighborly manner, j to the general profit of all concerned. The Merchants' association will do all it can to bring about this co-operation, it was announced following the meeting. ROBBED BEFORE lUMCE Los Angeles Gang Took $10,000 Whilo Big Crowd Looked On.

Believing that immediate passage of a tariff bill of one form or another la most urgent to relieve the nation's manufacturers ot their present anx iety and to bring about a stabilization of world business, the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, it is an nounced, will hold a special conven tion in Washington on January 30 jnd 31. This association, it is said, will o to Washington with a large major uy backing of the manufacturers ot the country, as shown in a recent referen dum taken thruout the nation and just completed. The vote, which was taken among something like 6,000 manufacturers, who employ nearly three million persons, shows them to be 77.7 per cent in favor of the Amer ican valuation plan; 20.7 per cent op posed to it; while 1.6 per cent of the ballots cast were defective. The an nouncement closes with these words: "The vote represents a total of 2,336, 000 employes on the side of American valuation and a total of 621,000 on the side opposed." By what right does the association assume that the em ployes of its members are "on the nide of American valuation?" They were not asked to vote. This huge lobby, which is planning to sweep down on congress, will constitute a serious menace to the public welfare and to the future of the majority party, if that party succumb to its in fluence. More than a thousand cases of liq uor were found aboard the British schooner, "Messenger of Peace," which stranded on the North Carolina coast and was seized by the coast guard. It' that ship was a messenger of peace, the liquor it carried must have been of an unusual brand. One of the most unequal partner ships that ever existed perhaps is that between government and business. The government insists on directing the management. If the business make a profit the government takes a large share of that profit for its own. If the business sustain a loss it must bear it. Win and Undo Sam wins with you; lose and you lose alone. "The manufacturers of the United States are unable to compete with those of Germany, the United King dom, France and Japan, without the protection given by an adequate tariff law," says the American Economist. ana1 asks: "Do you want to have our manufacturers close up their factories and sit down quietly and watch the salesmen from Germany sell their goods here?" It might be remarked that the other automobile manufac turers cannot compete with Henry Ford but they don't close their fac tories. They make a better car ana sell it at a higher price. Great Britain hasmoney to lend to Greece, but apparently none with which to meet interest due the United States. The amount of the new loan is J7 5.000,000. The loan Is made, however, on an understanding that it is to be spent in Kngland. W. (5. Maxwell, vice president in change of traffic of the Wabash Rail way company, in testifying before the Interstate commerce commission con cerning the effect upon the business of the railroads of orders by state commissions in reducing Intrastate rates in central freight association territory, said in part: "The carriers and this commission have accom pUshed much in the last five years toward removal of discrimination and toward uniformity in the rates in cen tral territory, but the orders of the itate commissions are destructive of uniformity and prolific in bringing about discrimination." These facts are well known to everybody, yet there la pending in congress a bill, backed by the "agricultural bloc," to restore the state commissions to the position of power which enabled them to force the railroads to the brink of ruin. The result of the passage of this measure would bo serious Injury to the roads, with no corresponding benefit to anybody, unless it be the politicians. In the past many have obtained political preferment thru fighting the railroads. WHERE DOCTORS DISAGREE. The Journal of the American Med ical association has been conducting a. referendum among Kansas physi cians on the subject of the use of whisky, wine and beer in thlr busi ness. The result shows a wide di vergence of opinion as well as prac tice. Questionnaires were sent to 1,026 physicians in this state; 741, or 73 per cent, were returned. On the question, "Is whisky a nec essary therapeutic agent?" the vote was: yes, 2 Sty; no, 448. In Kansas City, Topeka. and Wichita, the vote was: yes, 29; no, 62. On the question "Is beer a neces sary therapeutic agent?" the vote was: yes, 150; no, 889. In the three largest cities the vote was: yes, 17; no, 74. On the question "Is wine a neces sary therapeutic agent?" the -vote was: yes, 165; no, 663. In the three largest cities the vote was: yes, 17; no, 7. One hundred and fifty-seven physi cians "reported cases of unneces sary suffering or death from tho prohibition of alcoholic liquors; 544 had no knowledge of such cases. One hundred and fifty-eight physi cians stated that the prescribing of whisky was found advisable; 449 stat ed they had not found it advisable; 69 found it advisable to prescribe beer: 487 had not found it advisable; 74 physicians found It advisable to pre scribe wine; 489 had not found it ad visable. Regarding the restriction of physi cians in the number of prescriptions for alcoholic liquors, 502 were in fa vor of some kind of restriction; 204 were opposed to any limit on the num ber of prescriptions which a physician might Sprite. Twenty-six physicians hold federal permits. Of these, 162 simply voted In favor of restriction without specifying any limit; 170 were in favor of absolutely prohibiting the physician from prescribing; 74 were in favor of allowing the physician to prescribe from 1 to 50 times in three months; 91 favored a limit of from 51 to 100 prescriptions in three months, and 5 were in favor of al lowing more than 100 prescriptions in three months. Five hundred and twenty-one physi cians were in favor of restrictions, and 200 were opposed to restricting phy sicians in any form. Here is a case where the doctors disagree and the law decides. The country is entering the new year with a much greater feeling of confidence than prevailed twelve months ago. Confidence is the prin cipal factor going to make progress any prosperity. There are many in dications that "this is to be a great year for Topeka. WHO ARE CAPITALISTS? Apparently Eugene Deba has emerged from prison unchastened and unsubdued. He is the same Debs. He is quoted as saying that he Is an enemy of the capitalist class and "In me they shall find no comfort as long as there is breath in my body." This attitude places Debs at war with a considerable majority of his fellow citizens. Even among those who work with their hands are found many capitalists. According to his own story, Henry Ford toured the retail markets in company with his wife seventeen years ago trying to find a turkey cheap enough so they ccnald afford to buy it for their Thanksgiving dinner. Mr. Ford then had no capital. He was a mechanic, saved some of his wages, invested this small "capital," made that capital give employment to other men who did not save, and last year he is reported to have paid a government income tax of 376,000, 000. Mr. Ford is one of the capital ists against whom Mr. Debs has de clared war as long as there shall be breath in his body. Mr. Debs declares war upon the methods and the system under which Ford built up his huge automobile establishment. Tet were it not for Ford probably thousands of persons who own motor cars would be without them today because they could not afford to buy them. And other thou sands who are employed at good wages would be out of work. Almost every man who is not a wage earner is a capitalist. Many wage earners also are capitalists, who have invested their savings in securi ties or rental properties. Then, there are the farmers who toiled many years in order to save the money with which to buy their farms; the merchants rangin; all the way from small corner grocers to the heads of huge department stores; the men who saved money tp erect flour mills, men who saved money -to construct meat packing plants, men who saved money to build steel mills and car shops, men who saved money to build street car lines, men who saved money-to erect rCfice buildings, men who saved money to establish factories to manu facture cloth and clothing, boots and shoes, pianos, sporting goods, med!ca.l supplies, toilet articles and farm ma chinery. All these people are capi talists and Mr. Debs end his follow ers will be their sworn enemies as long as breath shall last. It may yet be found necessary to give Debs additional time in which to think it over. i TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASKDf. Director, Washington, D. O. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR LIFE? Washington, D. C, Dec. 31. That a large percentage or divorces is aue to too much red in the nuptial home. and that crime would decrease if the streets were lighted witn yeuowisn green lights, is the claim of the most recent professor to come rorwara wun a new set of theories about color and the effects it has upon our lives. Conservatives will doubtless say that the professor claims too mucn, And nprhans he does, but the part which color plays in the daily life of every one has never been properly un derstood by most persons, in iact, most men pay no conscious attention to color at all, while most women are concerned solely in choosing those colors which harmonize with their hair and eves. Tell the average man that the red cover on his library tabie is Injuring his nerves and he will laugh at you. Yet it is possible to give him scien tific proof of the fact. Ked has been shown by many experiments to sumu late the heart action just as surely as a drug, and to be a powerful nerve stimulant as well. Orange, yellow violet and purple are also stimulating colors. Blue is a soothing color and in large quantities even a depressm; one. Green is perhaps the most wholesome oi'all colors. This seems to be about all that is conclusively known about the physio logical effects of colors. Besides this, you may read a great deal of theoret ical stuff about the colors of souls and of personalities, the relations between color and sound, and other specula tions of a like nature. But of this much you may be sure: the colors that surround you have an effect upon you. and by regulating them properly you may to some extent promote your health and comfort. Nature's Use of Color. It is interesting to note that the only colors which are in nature used in large masses are green and blue. If the sky were to turn bright red and the leaves and grass bright yel low, it is probable that we would all go crazy. Many interesting reflec tions are suggested by the use of color in nature. It is strikingly noticeable that in brightly sunlit countries, like our own southwest, where all colors are more brilliant, where the sunsets are intensely colorful, and where sun light and distanco work queer color effects, nearly everyone feels an acute nervous stimulus, amounting in some cases to a sense of exaltation. On the other hand, cloudy rainy countries where all colors are subdued, where a shrouded green mixed with gray predominates, like the British Isles for instance, are noted for the pro duction of healthy, somewhat stodgy, people. The differences between per-' sons of the same blood and race liv ing in Arizona and in Scotland are very noticeable. Just how much of this difference is due to color it would be hard to say, but it seems proba ble that color accounts for a part of it. It has long been a mysterious but well known fact that all migrations and great movements of people generally have been westward. May not the flaring reds and yellows of the sun set sky in the west have something to do with this? Whatever such speculations may be worth, it is worth anyone's while to know that some colors are .stimulants and some are anodynes, and to pro ceed accordingly in matters of decora tion and clothing. It is probably well to follow nature, and to make green and blue the only bright colors that are used in large masses. All buffs, grays, and other neutral tones, afe of course natural in effect. Blues and greens should be the only bright col ors allowed to appear in large quan tities. If red is used it should be merely a touch here and there. Such a touch of red is undoubtedly pleas ing, and probably healthful so long as it is not large enough to force it self upon the eye. Of course in a dark room brighter colors may be used, and red may be used in large quantities because its value does not come out so strongly. Rooms which are flooded with sunlight or brightly lit with electricity should be decor ated in soothing colors, only. It has also been often claimed that color is an index to personality, and that the man or woman with a strong affinity for red will always show it by having a bit of jed in the clothing or in theToom, and that the overstim ulated temper which red produces will always be found in such a person. This suggestion may not be wholly without value, but like most other keys to the mystery of human person ality, it must be used with care. It is probable that fashion and chance gov ern the colors worn by most persons, and also those found in their houses. Nevertheless a strong preference for any one color is probably a factor worth takjng into account in forming juui(ieiiLs ui persons. Exciting Hair. Some persons, of course, are en dowed by nature with strong primary colors. It is interesting to note in this connection that red-haired girls are traditionally the most stimulating and exciting of all, their nearest rivals being the bright yellow blondes, 'while the girl with blue-black hair is the most serene and unexciting of all. These facts have usually been inter preted on basis of race, but race en ters into the situation less as hair color becomes more and more a beauty parlor product. It is not of record that titian-haired damsels produced by the henna pro cess are less exciting to flirt with than those endowed with red hair by their Creator, while peroxide blondes are certainly no less disturbers of the peace than natural ones. It Is proba ble that a reasonably susceptible male placed opposite a beautiful red-haired girl under a bright light is an almost inevitable victim of physiological cir cumstances. After a certain length of time his blood pressure and tempera ture will rise, his nerves will begin to tingle, and he will be thrown into a condition in which he is more than likely to do something rash. The dark-haired girl must labor under something of a handicap, but it is very noticeable thas she often seeks to overcome it by the addition of a red rose or a red ribbon to her cos tume. The speculative possibilities of the subject are almost inexhaustible, but there is not much about it which may be set down as certain, beyond this: if your nerves are on edge, as are those of most Americans, avoid red and yellow and court green and blue.

Just the average woman who runs a home must be a commissary general who assembles continually the thou sand and one different articles it takes to feed and clothe a family, and maice it comfortable. She has to be a priest who sits in the confessional, a preach- er who listens to prayers, and leads little souls heavenward, and makes up the family average of piety, for, as has been truly said, most men carry their religion in their wife's names. She has to be a financier who makes one dollar do the work of five, and who performs feats of money juggling that would make her fortune on Wall Street if she were a man. She has to be a surgeon who can give first aid to the injured, a doctor who is a good diagnostician, and a trained nurse. She, has to be a Sher lock Holmes who can sleuth out who robbed the cookie jar, and which one started the fight. She has to be a fearless law giver, and a just judge She has to be a diplomat whose tal ents entitle her to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary to any court in Europe in or der to get along in peace with her husband, and make him believe that he thought first of doing the things that she wants him to do. In addition, she must be a cook, a dressmaker, a milliner, a baby nurse, a kindergartner, a coach in all of the olognes and foreign languages for her school boys and girls, and, as if this were not enough, she must know how to dress like daily hint from Paris, how to dance, and play cards, and be an entertaining conversationalist who can talk about the last book and play, the new art, and the new music, and keep up with- all of the fads of the day. Worse still, she must be beautiful tho ugly, and never grow fat, or mid dle aged, because every woman is con sidered to have failed, more or less, in the profession of being a woman if she doesn't keep easy on the eyes. Nobody expects a man who makes a success of his career to also be a pro fessional beauty. It does not reflect on President Taft's achievements that he has not a straight front figure. President Wilson's lantern jaw had nothing to do with his not being able to put over the league of nations, but the first thing that people ever ask about any woman in public life is whether she has a willowy figure, and a peaches and, cream complexion, and if she dresses like a mannikin, and if she hasn't, and doesn't, she is the butt of the ridicule of fools, and her ability is called in question. In buainess, and the professions, a woman has not only to do as good work as a man, she has to do twice as good work as a man to hold her place, because she has to justify her self for being a woman in addition to showing that she has all of the neces sary qualifications for her job. When you think of all that we de mand of women, and that somehow most of them manage to makefcood on all the different counts,' it intakes youwonder why women.xe .hiii such contempt.

She wasn't hungry, so she said. A salad and a cup of tea Was all she feiu-that she could eat, but it was different with me. "I'm rather hungry I replied; lf you don't mind. I think I'll take Some oysters to begin with and a good old-fashioned sirloin steak." Now wives are curious in this, to make the statement blunt and straight: There 8 nothing' tempts their appetities like food upon another's plate; And when those oysters six appeared she looked at them and said to me. "Just let me try one, will you. dear? and right away she swallowed three. On came the steak, and promptly she ex claimed "Oh niy, that looks so pood! I think I'd like a bit of it." The game is one I understood.

Mr. Debs apparently has come out of the penitentiary with no malice in his heart and no prejudice against bis oDDressors. In Washington he called on President Harding: and Attorney General Daugherty treating them al- most as equals and with only the bar est show of condescension. It was a grateful act on the part of Mr. Debs. It will go far toward relieving this government of the contempt in which Mr. Iebs"and his friends hold fct. Mr. Debs cannot, of course, forget. But he, apparently, has forgiven. Any body can remember, but only the larger natures forgive. Mr. Ziegfeld is going to quit in 1924. The debacle is two years deferred, but when it comes it will fall heaviest on those least able to sustain it. We re fer, of course, to those who, having no resources within themselves, are com pelled to lean upon Mr. Ziegfeld for entertainment. And that, we go on to say, is a large and, in point 'of numbers, im pressive company. The Easy Mark's Confessional. Sir I have often read of your the ater experiences. Here is one I think never happened before. I came from the country last Thurs- ciay, called 'the agency that always has seats for all the theaters" and or dered four seats for a local show. It wasn't the show I wanted to see, but the show the agency wanted to, sell. Today I called for my seats. Two were m one row, one in another, ana the fourth was "only two rows back.' It wasn t so bad for a theater party. as it gave us an opportunity to talk loudly, as all theater parties do. I laid down a $20 bill and received two dimes ir change. I was provoked, but went on my way, as we msut all go to the theater on a holiday. However, I called my friends and told them of the location of the seats. They agreed we could go some other evening, and I went back to the agency for my money. They gave me $15.30 and I kicked, because I am from the coun try. After considerable kicking i got my 1 9.80 back.' The printed price per seat was $3.30, the service charge, apparently, being $6.60. Suffice it to say, I nearly got stung. 1 But I wore a neat overcoat, a dark necktie and was dressed just like a "city feller." Probably that was the reason. What is the column going to do about this outrage? Come Again. What is the column going to do? It Is going to laugh its head off. Kvery time an Easy Mark permits a ticket agency to sting him the column rolls on the floor in a delirium of laughter and howls from sheer glee. We, reason it'out in this wise: If there were no Easy Marks there would be no ticket agencies. Every time an Easy IViark is pronged ,the cause of legitimate theatrical merchandising is advanced exactly in proportion to the intelligence of the Mark and his ca pacity to resent that sort of treat ment. What did we get for Christmas Well, for One thing, we got a lounging robe. We mention it for the reason that it gives us opportunity to project Adelaide in her best and cheeriest vein. The Christmas gew-gaws were under the inspection of a neighbor. The "ballyhoo" had progressed to the point at which the garment was draped across the blue davenport. "What will he do with a .lounging robe?" said Adelaide; "he never is at home long enough to put it on." Adelaide's chief complaint Is that in the hypothetical conversations which appear herein she always gets the worst otsit. For once, therefore, we take pleasure in presenting her in happy -ein. Newspaper headlines carry the in formation thrt "Debs is to seek the freedom of ;.U convicts. It is a grand project, but we trust the column is not to be robbed of its share in it. The fact is the column beat Mr. Debs to the open expression of the idea by a considerable margin. Weeks ago it suggested that all convicts- be imme diately released from imprisonment. We want Mr. Debs to have full cred it for his share in the enterprise. In the nature of things, he will have to do most of the work. Under obliga tion, as we are, to earn a living, we shall be unable to devote much atten tion to it. We may be able to devote some time to the working out of the details of the project; feeyond that we cannot zo. The point we stress is that while Mr. Debs wiliv do the actual work of getting the boys out of their cubicles, the idea was ours. Already some of the details to- which we have referred lea p and frolic in mind. One concerns the future of the boys. If they are released and forced back into open competition with the honest, hard-working citizenry of the country the strain may be too great for them; they may fall again. The thing to do is to safeguard their fu ture, and that, as we view it, is a task for the government. Our notion of it is that the government- should put every convict, male and female, on the payroll at a salany of, say, $5,000 a year. That would, to some extenr. relieve them of the temptation to fall again and thus save them to society. Other details bearing on the' future welfare of the convicts will be set down herein as they occur to us. We are indebted to Hugh Merr for the first satisfactory definition of the word "highbrow" to cross our field of vision. "A highbrow," observes Mr. Merr in a letter bearing mostly on other topics, "is one who has been educated beyond his inteigence., Likely the definition is not original with Mr. Merr. He sets up no claim to it. But it is plenty good enough to be. We often have expressed the notion and we still believe if the Victor peo pleor, since we wish to play no fa vorites, any other concern in that line of work should make a record of Cullen Cain's muttering when he ts muttering his best, they would be able to sell a million copies of it in the first, month of issue. Mr. Cain's; frequent appearance herein, we explain, is due to the fact that he works at an adjacent desk. If you will come in and favor us wita mutterings equal to those exuded by Mr. Cain, we shall be glad .to print your name, too. George Creel has been tacitly ac cused of assisting Mr. Tumulty lit his preparation of the Wilson story. Many unkind things have been writ ten of Mr. Tumulty's Wilson, but we rank that as the unkindeet. The concern which sent the column' a pair of hose supporters as a Christ mas present is advised that the gift was a timelyone. THE NEW GENERATION By JANE PHELPS MARTHA HARDY DECIDES TO MARRY. Chapter 110. Martha Hardy was to marry the young Columbia professor. Joan was all excitement, and no wonder. Mar garet had offered to let Martha be married in her apartment, and to give her a wedding brefkfast. "Anyone would think it was you gettin" married and not Miss Martha," grumbled Hannah. "You act like a chicken with its head chopped off, fussing around like this! I can tend to this cookin' without you, I guess." "Now vou're cross, old thing." Joan ran behind Hannah, and putting her arms around the ample waist, pushed her, protesting, about the kitchen until Margaret, hearing them, came to see what was going on. "She'll be the death or me, sne will!'.' Hannah panted, wiping her face on her apron, then sinking into a chair to recover her breath, which she declared had been "clean knocked out of me." "She tried to send me out of the kitchen, Mumsie! Pretended she thought I was in the way. And all the time she knew she was Just dying to have me stay. You play fair, Han nah, or I'll treat you rough next time!" "What do you call what you Just done, I'd like to know? If that ain't rough enough for anybody!" her voice aggrieved. It was a very happy and very grate ful Martha who .was married in Mar garet's living room to a very grateful and proud professor. "For myself, where I was married made little difference so long as I was married to Martha. But it is wonderful in you to do this for Mar tha, Mrs. Hayden she cried when she told me of your kindness I feel it more than I can tell you." "Why shouldn't I cry?" Martha joined in. "Didn't you ever hear of anyone crying for joy? Just think, dear, I am to be married just as if this darling apartment was my own home! .The crowd are coming and oh, I can't talk about it, or I shall cry again! But I shall fell so much more married than if we had. gone off by ourselves." Martha's people were in very mod erate circumstances, and lived in the Northwest, the distance and expense involved making it impossible for her to go home. "I am delighted to do it, Martha, and Joan is having such, a good time "You bet I am! I never was so ex cited in my life. Run into my room now and dress, Martha. My wedding present to you is on the. bed." Martha had intended to be married in a simple going-away gown, all she could afford. But deep down in her girlish heart she had bemoaned the fact that she could not have a white dress and a veil, the young girl's nat ural wish to have what other brides had. Joan had a mysterious visit to her lawyer a couple of weeks before Mar tha was to be married. Then she and her mother had shopped industriously. I guess if you give her the wed ding breakfast I can do something, too. It isn't like drawing money for my own use. I do not consider I have broken my vow by drawing for such a purpose." And Margaret, delighted at her interest in Martha's wedding, had agreed with Joan. Martha had gone but a few seconds when the three waiting in the nearby living room heard a little gasp of de light, then the call: "Joan! Mrs. Hayden! come here, pase! oh. Joan dear, I just can't help crying!" and before they could go to her. Martha had rushed to them, lovely soft white crepe dress over her arm. a veil with a tiny wreath of orange blossoms atop of it and, in her other hand, white shoes and stockings. '"Look John, dear! Just see what they have done for me!" and crump ling up on the floor Martha sobbed a moment so hysterically that Mrs. Hay den was almost frightened. But Joan dumped herself down beside her and laughingly pulled off her common sense black oxfords and tried to pull on the dainty white slipper. Then after the sons ceased, she pulled Mar tha up and declared there should be no more "weeps." that nothing but smiles would be allowed. "You've only an hour before the minister will be here." Margaret told her. "Run along. Martha, and com mence to dress. I will come In and heln you presently.' "There never was so hapnv a airT as I am never In the world!" Martha declared as smiles and tears chapsd each other over her face and she did as Margaret bade her. (Tomorrow Martha is married.) Questions Answers Q.

RAY BAKER As the little roadster rounded the curve near the tiny house, the wheels ceased to spin so readily. "This would be a good time to can on the popcorn quen. What do you say, Madge?" Madge Holbrook turned a glance on him in which the presence of irrita tion might have been noted had there been more light. "Popcorn queen?" she said with a tinge of asperity in the tone. "Uo you mean old Mrs. Quentin? What a name to apply to her! Ted, you must have popcorn cn the brain. You're eating it or talking about it all the time. Some day you 11 have a ruined stomach because of it- Don't you know that popcorn will destroy your appetite, consuming it by the barrel the way you do?" Ted had brought the roadster to a stop in front of the tiny house, which perched on a green terrace, peeking over a group of rose bushes and be tween the tendrils of a flourishing vine. "Popcorn is an appetizer for me," he replied. "I just can't seem to get enough of it. Yes. Mrs. Quentin is the popcorn queen. You see she used to be a neighbor to us over In Valley City and I call on her now and then to renew acquaintanceship and to consume a big bowl of popcorn which she always prepares. She, and her husband, who works at the sawmill. are perfect fiends for popcorn as oaa or worse than I. I promised I'd bring you for a call some time, so let's stop now." Madge shrugged her shoulders and adjusted her cape. All right, I'm willing, because it's rather chilly and this will be an op portunity to get warm. But don't ex pect me to eat any corn. You know T detest it. It's bad enough to sit around and watch a lot of others fill up on It and tear them, too with out being obliged to take a hand in the performance. Remember, we can't stay long." Mr. and Mrs. Quentin were quaint, kindlyi old souls, both with beaming ruddy faces, and they extended a hearty welcome to the wayfarers. The man of the house smoked a corncob pipe while his wife busied herself in the kitchen, and the two young people sat about the fireplace blaze, which was glowing red. and discussed weather, motion picture stars and congress with the genial old gentle man. In the kitchen could be heard a staccato refrain like the voice of a machine gun, and presently Mrs. Quentin bustled into the parlor with four heaping bowls of fluffy white kernels which she proceeded to dis tribute. "I am sorry, Mrs. Quentin," said Madge, "but I never eat it. It looks tempting, but I really don't care for it." "Land sakes. girl!" deplored the hostess, "but you certainly do miss a lot in life." When the roadster had resumed its rolling on the road Madge remarked: "Nice people, but that popcorn eat ing session nearly drove me wild." "Yum, yum," said Ted, smacking his lips, "I can taste it yet. Madge, you must learn to like popcorn. By the way, have you decided yet when we are to get married Madge didn't reply at once. "Don't you think," she said finally, "that It would be nicer for you to learn to unlike popcorn, seeing that I have no use for it? And, as for marrying, I haven't thought seriously about it. In fact, marriage doesn't worry me at all. You're a nice enough friend. Ted, except when you're eating popcorn, but really you'd never do for a husband. .Let's talk about the weather." Eut Ted was insistent. PerhaDS the harvest moon, rising over the eastern hills, had something to do with it. "But you can give jne a little hope, can't you, Madge? You know, I'm going away to the city to get rich, I hope, and I want something to look forward to." The moon was not sufficiently bright to reveal the whimsical little smile that played about Madge's red lips. "This much I'll promise, Ted," she said, "When I consent to eat pop corn I'll also consent to marry you." In the two years that Ted Bpent in the city he nid not amass wealth, but he managed to obtain a nice little nestegg. The city was a long way from the village of Gregory and his business prevented any visits home until the termination of those two years. He carried on a regular cor respondence with Madge, and oc casionally asked her whether she had learned to like popcorn, to which he always received a negative answer. When Ted came home for his first vacation he made the trip in a new roadster. It was early in the fall.

The weather warm with bright sunshine, and th tours were made more attractive by the multi-colored autumn leaves that hung from every tree. But one afternoon they started on a spin with conditions less favor able. Lowering clouds hid the sun and there was a cool, damp breeze. They passed the tiny house on the curve, and Ted observed: "The palace of the popcorn queen looks deserted. See the blinds are down. Have they moved away?" "Didn't I tell you in my letters?" inquired Madge. "Mrs. Quentin died several months ago, and Mr. Quentin lasted only a few weeks. It was grief that took him, I believe. They were nice old people, too." They drove on m silence for a little while. Suddenly they noticed that the clouds had become blacker and denser, and thunder began to rumble. Lightning flashed in the dark sky and premature night came on. "Let's go back," suggested Madge. "A storm is coming." She was right, for hardly had they progressed a mile on the re turn trip before the deluge descend ed. It was a veritable cloudburst, with thick sheets of rain that ob literated the road and everything else. Water pelted the occupants of the car for all of the top and side curtains, as they swept round a curve the mo tor suddenly balked. "We'll have to find shelter," said Ted. "The spark plugs are wet or something, and the top is -beginning to leak. See, there is the deserted palace of the popcorn queen. Make a break for it while I push the car out of tho road Madge scampered for the tiny house, and Ted moved the roadster to a place of safety. They were both drenched when he joined her at the door. A skeleton key proved useful and they entered the little house. It was empty and dreary, with furniture gone and floors bare, but it was shel ter. Ted found some paper and fuel in the woodshed and kindled a blaze in the fireplace. While they dried themselves they watched from the window and saw the roadster making a brave stand against the furious elements.- While the darkness became) more intense the storm became more ter rific. Ted dispelled the gloom by means of candles found in a cupboard. Houra passed and there was no let up in the rain. "Gosh, I'm hungry!" exclaimed Ted, and he began rummaging about the house. With a triumphant grin he returned to the parlor, carrying a pa per sack in one hand and a popcorn popper in the other. "Here's some real food," he an nounced. "There's nothing else in the way of nourishment in the house. We'll see If it works." Madge looked glum as Ted "shook the popper over the fire. Presently Ithe popping began and the popper tinea witn wnite kernels. Ted smiled gratefully. "Smells good, I can tell you. No salt or butter, but I guess we can get along. Oh, I forgot. Madge; you don't eat this stuff. Well, that's no reason for me to starve, is it?" He began a ravenous inroad on the corn while Madge turned away and kept silence. Ted munched on while the rain played a merry tune on the roof. Madge could endure It no longer. "Ted!" she cried desperately, "give me some of that -corn. I'm so starved I could eat my gloves!" He extended the popper, then drew it back, hesitating. "Made, do you remember a promise you once made about eating popcorn and marrying me?" "Of course I remember," she smiled. "Pass the corn nnd I'll make good." (Copyright, 1921, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) 25 YEARS AGO IH TOPEKA From thm column of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL January S, 1887.

Again the unexpected has happened. Refusing the role of a, "setup" for the "wonder team" from Danville, the Texas Aggies carried yesterday's game to their opponents from the moment of the opening whistle to the time Referee Quigley announced that play ing time had expired. While the work of some of the Ag gies may have stood out more promi nently than others who were not blessed with the same opportunities. Coach Bible's entire aggregation played unbeatable football. The only count in the first quarter wan nn n mtfctv follnwiner a. 52-vard J kirk- Viv "Miller tn Tturtlptt. who was downed behind his own goal. Texas Defense Mystified. Early in the second quarter. Centre advanced the ball to within one yard of the goal. Then the mighty Aggie defensive play manifested itself. "They shall not pass" might well de scribe the manner in which the Bible men held their ground, and they re covered the ball on downs with the ball within an inch of the goal. Miller of the Aggies then kicked sixty yards from behind the posts and the first crisi3 had passed. From that time on during the sec ond quarter, the ball passed back and forth, up and down the field, but with out a count. Centre's first touchdown came in the third quarter and was the outcome of a fumble by Evans, who lost the ball when tackled; McMillin also fum bled the dancing ball but it was final ly recovered by Tanner, who ran thirty yards to within two yards of coal before he was stopped. Snoddy went thru tackle for the necessary gain and Roberts kicked goal. rirst Texas Touchdown. The Aggies' first touchdown came also in the third quarter and was the result of a pass, McMillan, (who had replaced Sanders for the 'Aggies) to Miller to Evans, which was good for 33 yards anda touchdown. With the score 9 to 7 In their favor, the Aggies took the aggressive with new life and quickly put over another In which the entire team figured in line bucking. 1e third quarter ended with the score 16 to 7 in favor of the Aggies. Early in the fourth, Winn inter cepted a forward pass. McMillin to Tanner, and plunged down the field forty-five yards for the Aggies' third tetithdown.

Robbers early Monday broke into the Atchison, To peka Santa. Fe railroad station here and got away with thirteen pouches of parcel post and one of mail, it is reported. Postoffice authorities said no esti mates had been made on the amount of the loss. The robbery occurred between mid night and 3 o'clock in the morning. Ralph Stewart, night telegraph opera tor, at midnight went into the baggage room, where the mail was kept. At that time, the mail was still there, Stewart said. When he went to the baggage loom at 3 o'clock the mail was gone. The only'clue to the robbers is a blue overcoat, evidently left by one of them in their hurry to get away. The coat was about the size which might be worn by an 18-year-old boy, officers said. WAR ON TACK SOWERS. Cottonwood Falls Autoists Caused Much Tiro Gricr by "Tricksters." Cottonwood Falls, Kan., Jan. 3. A number of motor car owners of Strong City and vicinity are ready to wage war on people who persist in the careless scattering of tacks and nails and other similar hardware which has been the result of causing much (rrlef to car owners as the result of punctured t?-ves. A few days ago one motor car owner Charle3 Beach, of that city in driv ing from his home to the Strong City postoffice, a distance of only a few blocks "picked up" no less than seven nails and tacks in his tires which did such serious damage that his tire bifl on this one occasion amounted to something over $50. A number of other motorists have had imilar exoeriences altho probably not quite so expensive. "The greatest surprise of the foot ball year." That's what the defeat of Centre college by Texas A. and M. at Dallas yesterday may be called, with accuracy. Even Centre's early season defeat of Harvard, unexpected as it was, could not equal the surprise given the fans from coast to coast by the result of yesterday's conflict at Dallas. There was no fluke In the game that could be accorded a criterion for the Centre defeat, judging from de tailed wire accounts of the battle. The Texans simply outplayed the Colonels. From start to finish their aggressiveness on offensive baffled even the redoubtable "Bo" and his equally famous team-mate, "Red" Roberts. A man. named McMillan, playing in the backfield for Texas, was seeming ly a greater star than his Kentucky namesake. There is only one alibi we can think of. It is this. The entire Centre col lege team stood silently by and watched a Fort Worth preacher tie an unbreakable knot for "Bo" Alva McMillin at 9 o'clock on the morning of the game. The famous star's mar riage to Miss Marie Miers, a child hood sweetheart, might 'have taken a deal of enthusiasm from the hearts of Centre's exponents. But even that "tragedy" can hardly be held accountable for the Centre defeat. The dope was all against Texas. Their defense was heralded far and wide as "weak and useless.' Yet when McMillin tried to make a gain of six inches thru the line all that was needed for a touchdown- he couldn't do it. And the eyes of his bride of only a few hours were watching him. That ought to make a man do super human things. Therefore we deduct that the Texas line had "some" de fense after all. It was the first defeat for Centre this season. Another surprise occurred in Pasa dena, Cal., when the Presidents from Washington and Jefferson college fought a scoreless tie with the mighty California team, a team that has lost no games for two years. The only touchdown of the game was not allowed because Captain Rus sell Stein, All-American tackle on the W. and J. team, was offsides on the play.

Not long ago a tragedy hap pened which nearly upset the calmness of the family circle. Some one invited the girl to a party, one of the boys in her school class asked permission to lake her, and the family said "No," in fact a most decided "No." Then the little Miss asserted her woman's right and proceeded to change the minds of her parents. When they had finally said "Yes," and the little girl had hinted up the boy, and carefully, oh so very tactfully given him to under stand that she could go oh, horror of horrors! he already had a "date." The only consolation the little Miss has for the coming year is that if she wanted to she could have lots more "dates" than those that are permitted to have "em. Surely living thru this 'teen age is a mighty tiresome busi ness. The Social Service club will be en tertained Wednesday afternoon with Miss Mary Clark as hostess.

Newly appointed postmasters in Kansas are flocking to Topeka today where they will undergo a course of training: at the Topeka postoffice un- der W. O. Rigby, postmaster, and others will come as fast as they are appointed. An order has just been issued by the postmaster general to the effect that all newly appointed postmasters who have not yet taken over then- duties of office, and all postmasters to be named after January 1, in each state are to appear at the central of fice to familiarize themselves with the work. Topeka is the central office for Kansas. From two to three days each will. be given the new postmasters, accord ing to Postmaster Rigby, and a num ber of them reported here this morn ing. It would be better to let them remain here four or five days or even a week, Rigby says, but the time can not be spared. The course includes regular assignments in all of the de partments, so that each new man will have an opportunity to learn all of the details of postoffice work rather than take over their offices without having had any experience whatever. WOOD GIVES MOTOR SALON Buick and Cadillac Display in Topeka January 5, 6 and 7. "Every model manufactured by Buick and Cadillac people." That's the motto by which the Wood Motors company will conduct its "salon," on January 5, 6 and 7. The salon is the original idea of Noel V. Wood, president of the com pany. It is not a showing, nor an an nual opening it is a salon. Just what unusual features will be used to make the program unusual, Wood isn't making public but the unusual fea tures will be present. Sixteen cars will repose on the am ple floor space of the Show-room, and the entire sales force of the company will be on hand to take car of the visitors. A Buick chassis will be shown, also several special models of both Buick and Cadillac "We want the public to come," said Wood this morning, "because we have something to show them, and they'll be interested. The New Year holds promises tor nation-wide prosperity, and Topeka isn't going to be slighted. It will be a business showing, and we're proud of every car on the floor." Decorations will be used on an elaborate scale for the opening. WON'T CHANGE NAME STREET. City Commissioners Held Protests From The Drive Residents. The Intention of the city commis sion to change the name of a portion of The Drive, from between Park and Laurel avenue, was met this morning with a protest from seven property owners who would have been affected by the ordinance which the city attorney had been instructed to draft. The protest resulted in the state ment by W. S. Hancock, commissioner of streets and public improvement, that the ordinance would not be pre sented. In the meantime, there will be taken under advisement some scheme of renumbering the houses on that portion of The Drive which has caused confusion in the past:. Ore:.. .h hat and a. lmg nose.

Off TO REVISE ORDINANCE Changes May Be Mado in City Slaugh ter RgulatLons. The Topeka city ordinance- which provides that the city food inspector i must inspect the carcasses of animals j slaughtered for food in Topeka, and must inspect them within the city limits, is to be revised. The slaughter house of W. C. Hentz ler, at Twenty-fifth street and Kansas avenue, handles a comparatively large number of animals which are slaugh tered to be sold at Topeka retail .butcher shops. Under the present ordinance the city food inspector. Dr. I g. W. Hill, cannot legally go to the slaughter house to inspect the animals as they are killed. Hentzler and Ed Wells, proprietor of the Central Meat Market as well as other men who are in the habit of killing meat for con sumption in the city, appeared before the commission this morning to ask that the ordinance be changed so that they might have the inspectors visit their slaughter houses during the kill ing process. Robert D. McGiffert. commissioner of parks and public health, in whose department the inspection of food is done, objected that it would be neces sary to have at least one new inspector on the job to get the work done if in spection outside the city should be authorized. Accordingly, on .motion of Mayor Corwine, the city attorney was in structed to draw up a revision of the ordinance which will provide for an increase in the fees charged outside thp city limits, to allow for inspection You've probably heard of this well known plan of making eouh svrup at home.

Via M Main Office 2nd and Qtiiney "Jest As KWufc At the Novelty. There's some mighty good stuff in the bill that siurted tlie week, with yester day's matinee. Also, and by the same token there is some that is not bo good. The chief ingredient, larking is a renl juke. Some acts had a grin in them and the guy in the fourth net even tried to get away with that one about the five wives which has onlv been tried here seventeen times this winter. Perhaps the actors on tbis bill argue that any new stuff would be "too technical." Charles Ledegar, opens with a good line of patter and sojne really new stuff on the tigrht rope. He is followed by what appeared to be the stiffest and most life less pair of comediennes that had ever appeared here. It was not until their final bow that everyone in the crowd found he had been sold. Won't tell you what It was, it would take all the spice out of the act. The Alien Cheyenne Cowboy Minstrels had a well staged act and some good pinging. Hilly Clark, billed as a "dlstiifber of the blues" had little else be sides that ancient joke find a make-up. Wish the stage manager or some one would tip Lulu Coates to the fact that she and" her act would get by lots better if she would let her little pals do all the stuff and present her attempts at singing and dancing behind the wings. The boys are simply great and one had to hand it to them- but they must Xrffd-some way of losing Lulu. AT THR- Git AND "Thunderclap" nroved a surprise. Had gone there not expecting to nee much else than an ordi nary race norse picture, dui round mat it had in addition to one of the best horse r:ue thrills, a river scene that ex- celri that one in '"Way Down Kast," a mother role that was every nit as goon as that one in "Over the Hill" and just as much human interest stuff as we saw in "Hail the Woman." How they could have put so nnu-h stuff all into one picture is beyond the average movie critic It is a melodramatic story and some what tangled in i(H plot once or twice, but it moves straight ahead with action every m'nmpiit and one does not notice that lit tle discrepancy long. Mary Carr has the mother role and that probably explains why it was done so well.' The rest of the ne tors are clever in their lines ana ace not called to do stuff beyond them. Even the kiddies in the prologue are so nat ural, one would almost expect to hear the lit Uc-st one crying about having to take his bath. The bopg won t let me take much more space, but before 1 stop, let me say this one thing. "1 never have heard any movie audience cheer or aplaud the screen so mucn as mat gang iu yesterday aiter noon and the Grand was packed too. Even the wife yelled during the race and nearly pinched my arm ojf as that actor was struggling in the Niagara Falls rapids.. AT TI7R CRYSTAL a Zane Grev story shown as "Where Men Are Men" with Wii- lam Duncan carrying the leading part is well worth seeing. Here's a storv of the California Itig Hear Lake country that is uiv:iiiu y interest wig. i ne pioi IB very oou tne acting rme the may far above the average. I he comedy A Fresh Start accom panying "Where Men Are Men" is without question one of the funniest comedies shown in mariv weeks. There's almost a laugh a second in it. AT THE- ISIS Llovd Hushes Is fea tured in "Mother O' Mine," which really isn't a strictly mother picture at all. but deals with a crook game. j-dc plot is ordinary but the action is swift and at times the situations are tense and exciting. Hughes does some good acting but in other instances the portrayals appear overdrawn in an at tempt to instill a melodrnmic tone to the picture. Of all the narrow PRfiincs n-)i inh Ti ri been shown on the screen the one in this picture is perhaps the narrowest that ha a ever been devised. The play Is sadly lacking ill COUlPilv to offset the nhiinrlnnr-o of pathos. AT THE OIlPHErM the admirers of Bill Hart enjoy a treat in "Thre Word lirand," a picture typically Hill Hart in action, but somewhat extraordinary in plot. Hart plays a trinle role in this nlav and it is handled so admirably that the illusion is not m the least marent. The audience laughed and cheered at the spec tacle of liill Hart sitting beside himself and even patting himself (.n the arm. me story is full of act ion --that is car ried onward swiftly, but there are t many subtitles to make the: plnv run as smoothly as it might.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1922 10 A. ARE OUTOF TUNE Taxpaying Time Is Compared With Latest Mohler Beport. Wheat Is Only Crop That Would fay Bill in Full. CORN WOULD PAY CITY TAXES Potatoes Plus Three and a Half Millions Pays State Tax. Value of Hogs in Kansas Won't Pay General School Levy. BY A. L. SHULTZ. Taxpaying time and J. C. Mohler's report this week covering valuations of farm products somehow seems en tirely nut of tune. A tax receipt and a gales ticket for wheat corn or live- stock fit in a farmer's -mind just like a brindle bull dog and a gentleman shorthorn in a f.?ed lot. Wheat Is the one crop produced .in Kansas during the last year which would pay the state's tax bill of substantially 76 rail lion dollars. "Looking over Secretary Mohler'a farm values and viewing the tax bill is just, as promising as a. twin six motor car for a sixty dollar bank clerk who holds a hish regard for the Ten Commandments. They simply don't lit. Even after the Kansas farmers liauled their 128.220,148 bushels of wheat to market and without paying the harvest hills, they would have a balance of only 148.000,000 after the Kansas tax bill had been paid. torn Would Pay City Taxes. As for corn nev-vur. To be sure the farmers raised 96.484,070 bushels last year. Sold at the prevailing mar ket values not at the rate of ready to absorb hooch it would net only S27.760.92u. That would pay the city taxes and leave $200,000 for chewing tobacco. -4f the farmers would haul their en tire corn, oats potato, barley and kaf flr crops to town 170,000,000 bushels and then bring in the 2.380,200 tons of alfalfa grown last year,, they would Just about pay the tax bill for the year. The Kaw valley potato growers together with scattered producers in other sections might hand over their yield of 4,325,016 bushels. They would still owe nearly three and a half million dollars on the direct tax bill for state expense alone. Of course there are other ways of looking at the matter. The cattle men might get together at their meet ing in Wichita this month and ar range to pay the bill. They could turn over the $69,400,000 received from sale of cattle for slaughter. Then if the milkmen would pay over $2,163, 227 revenue for the year and the ice cream manufacturers would donate three million dollars from sale of frozen milk and the horticulturists had voted last month to- give away their $4,134,830 from the sale of ail fruits and berries, they would pay the tax bill. There might be just about enough loose change to send a few of the delegates home in day coaches. Deficit r Two Million. Again. The horse and mule dealers might buy up all the horses and mules in the state and sell them at prevailing prices. Secretary Moh ler's figures show they would still have a deficit of two million dollars from the sale of 1,200,000 animals. They might then buy the 266,055 sheep and present them to the county treasurers tor distribution. Even then the livestock donation wouldn't pay the tax claim. There are 2,136,611 cattle in Kansas other than milk cows. Their com bined worth is $64,098.330 nearly $12,000,000 less than the amount of taxes to be paid for the year. Nearly one half of the year's revenue from poultry and eggs would be necessary to add to the cattle vaiues before the taxes were paid. Much has been said about the freight rates on hay. Yet if the en tire tame hay crop for last year were given to the state officials they could pay only 20 per cent of the expense of running state departments and in stitutions. Last year Kansas creameries manu factured 48,749,164 pounds of butter It was worth $26,209,372. In tax terms that means a wee bit more than one-third of the amount to be paid for one year. Siate department and institution ex penses for the year will amount to eleven million dollars. Of this amount eight and a hnlf millions come thru direct taxes. To pay the bill calls for sale of all the rye, flax, broom corn, millet, Ruprar beets, syrup sorghum, seed sorghum, alfalfa seed, wool, cheese, honey, flax cow peas and com mercial wood produced last year. Even this net total would fail to cover the bill. Hogs Won't Pay School Tax. Value of the 1.268,294 hogs in the state is a half million dollars less than the general school tax of $14,316,594. It would require the revenue from all the ice cream and milk sold in the state last year and call for the addi tional sale of 60 per cent of the po tato crop to pay the nominal little increase of $7,935,798 in the 1920 tax levies. If the Kansas farmers would dis pose of their last year's wheat and corn crops they would be able to pay the direct taxes levied in this state In 191' -20. The bill for the two years mounted to 145 million dollars. Their two crops for last year were worth 151 millions. That would leave them six millions for gasoline for their Hen nery runabouts and tractors. There is another way to look at that biennial tax bill. If the farmers would tell their 5.553,330 head of livestock horses, mules, milk cows, steers. sheep and hogs they would received j J 184,154,817. The Kansas taxes tor the biennium were only 145 millions. That would leave the stockmen 39 million-dollars for payment on account at the grocery store. If there were a few industrious hens on the farm, the stockmen might return home, give three lusty cheers that the biennial tax bill had been wiped out. rattle their loose nickels and dimes and trust that the hens would put them back in business again. Maybe that's the reason for the tax- payers' league. BIRTHS REPORTED During the last week of the year 1921 the str.rk was a busy bird in To peka, according- to the births reported to the city clerk.

THIRTY-TWO ARRESTS IN 1922 First Two Days of Year Busy Ones for Police. If "business" at the police station keeps up as briskly during the re mainder of 1922 as it has started off, it will be a birr year in criminal an nals. During the first two days of this year the officers made tmrty-iwo ar rests. The total was swelled Monday afternoon when thirteen persons were arrested in a raid on a crap game at the home of Floyd Carter on North Harrison street. Carter was charged with running a gambling house and having liquor in his possession. The others who were arrested were: Fred Williams, J. L.. Chewing, Fate Carter, J. Carter, Frank Tyler, George Cbl lins, A. Chenney, I. Usherman, Charles Brenner, William Fagan, Jess North, John Sherman. They were charged with being found in. Other arrests made during the day were for investigation and trivial of fenses. FIRE BUGS WERE DETERMINED. Second Attempt on Carthage. Mo., Garage Causes Loss of $8,000. Carthage, Mo., Jan. 3. Fire today caused damage estimated at 8,000 to the garage of W. C, Bryant. An at tempt to burn the structure was frus trated early Saturday morning when a quantity of powder was found ready for ignition at the garage. Officials believe the blaze this morning was caused by incendiaries. The gas pipe in the basement was sawed and the fire started simultane ously thruout the building from the accumulated fumes. Quick work by the local fire department saved the building from a heavier loss. Decides on Best Life Insurance "Five years ago I was refused life insurance because of my heart symp toms. Doctors said it was caused from a pressure of gas that came from my stomach, but their medicine did not help me and I was getting worse all the time. Three years a pro my druggist recommended Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. I took a course of it and believe it is the best life insurance anyone can buy. It helped my troubles at once." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intes tinal tract and allays the inflamma tion which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. At all Druggists. Adv.
