Mind Clear This Morning Able To Hear Mass. (By tlio Assoeinted Press. London (6:53 p. m.) Cardinal Bourne, archbishop of Westminster, stated this evening he had been offi cially notified by telegraph from Home that Pope Benedict was dead. Cardinal Bourne's announcement of the death of the Pope is apparently in conformity with the custom by which the cardinals comprising the sacred college are first informed of the death of a pope, before the infor mation is made known to the general public. (By the Associated Tress.) Paris, Jan. 21. A Berlin dispatch to the Havas agency quotes the Wolff bureau as saying Pope Benedict died at 3:35 o'clock this afternoon, Rome time. Alive at 5:15? (By the Associated Press.) Rome, Jan. 21. 5:35 p. m. At 5:1S o'clock this afternoon, Cardinal Gas parri. papal secretary of state, said: "The catastrophe is imminent," indi cating the pope's end was near. Chin? to Life Rome,Jan. 21. The four attending physicians expressed surprise this af ternoon ovor the tenacity with which he had been able to cling to life, in view of the inflamed conditions of his lunprs and the weakness of his heart. The prelates of the Vatican, however, believed that an intervention of di vinity was responsible. When the pon tiff rallied slightly this morning and the doctors said that some benefit inicht be expected from nourishment and Vleep, the ecclesiastics attributed it to a miracle of the virgin of Pompeii. At 1 o'clock, when it was announced that the pontiff's sleep had given way to coma and that it was admitted that the "catastrophe was at hand." a sigh of sorrow went ur. Men and women wept in the street. Sobs broke out j thru the enchanted services in thej

Altho the pontiff's life had been ebbing for twenty-four hours and his demise wng expetcd. news of the death threw this city into deepest gloom. The Catholic churches quickly filled up and special prayers were said for the repose or the pontitf s soul The pain which the Holy Father I bore so stoically but could not hide entirely, added to the strain on those whu stood beside the bedside in prayerful de.th watch. The last sacrament had been ad ministered and prayers for the death had been said before the final houc. Kxtrcme unction had been said twice, once Friday and again early this morning. End Came Peacefully. During the last twelve hours of life, the pope had passed from alternate fits' of consciousness into semi-consci-ousuess and at times was delirious- During one period when his mind was wandering, he kept muttering "peace, peace." At another time -he murmured that "duty called." The pope passed peacefully and his features were resigned and calm de spite the agonizing suffering thru which he had passed- Became Weaker at Noon. Pope Benedict became appreciablv weaker about midday today and the hopes .which had arisen after hid period of slumber in the morning dis appeared. His general condition had become worse and he seemed to be slowly expiring. In his slight delirium during the noon hour the pontiff resisted the ef forts of the physicians to listen to his heart action and expressed a desire to rise and perform his usual duties. Be lief that the pontiff's life might be prolonged until the late afternoon was expressed by the attending doctors. The pope, to the gratification of his physicians, passed into a sleeping con-1 iitioh during the forenoon todav. and the doctors indicated they would not abandon all hope if the sleep con cinuea tnree or lour hours Podb Benedict vidi .i, Ing into death this morning. Bulletins f'"?"ior-Vhe pontiff were eagerly scanned by throngs waiting outside the Vatican, but none gave (rround for hope that the prelate would rally from the sinking spells which mark the progress of pneumonia. End Momentarily Expected. Members of the sacred college re mained in the ante-chamber of the sick room during the night, while physicians and members of the pope's 'mily were in attendance. It was Tho the time of the death of the pope has not been given of ficially, it is stated in one of the dispatches received that the pontiff died at 3:35 o'clock this afternoon. There is a difference of seven hours time between Topeka and Rome. feared the end might come almost anj moment. At 7 o'clock it had been announced at the Vatican that the pope was dying, and telegrams were sent to the papal nuncios to that effect. At 8:30 o'clock the pontiff's physi cians Issued a bulletin says: "The condition of the holy father became worse during the night, which was agitated and sleepless. The pneu monia had progressed. Temperature 38.4 (roughiy 101 Fahrenheit); pulse, 122; respiration, 60." Crowd Watt'hes at Vatican. Since early this morning a crowd, which was at first largely composed of newspaper men, had been gathered bpfore St. Peter's. Carriages and au tomobiles bearing cardinals and diplo mats soon began to-arrive and a strict watch was being kept on the Vatican doors. Few were permitted to ap proach the pope's apartment beside the cardinals and certain other digni taries, and only two newspaper men the representatives of the Stefan! Agency and the Osservatore Romano were permitted in the ante-chamber. The pope's nephew, the Marquis Dellachisa, who arose from hi3 sick bed yesterday to visit his uncle, re turned to the sick chamber at 6:45 o'clock, tho Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state, arrived ten minutes later. Within five minutes after their arrival the announcement was given out that the pontiff was dying. Mass Said for Pope. Monsignbr Migone celebrated mass in the chapel adjoining the pope's room at 1:15 o'clock, the pope listening thru the open door while the celebrant administered communion. Cardinal Giorgi, who in the event of the pope's death will conduct the special ceremonies over his 'body, passed the night in the Vatican. According to the newspaper Mes sagero the pope's mind was still clear at 2:30 o'clock this morning, when he said affectionately to Doctor Battis tini. who was attending him: "What are you doing "here at this hour? You are old; go and sleep." The newspaper Tempo says that the last clearly intelligible words of the pontiff were a request for a drink of water, of which he took but a few swallows. After 3:20 o'clock he began to mut ter unintelligible words and two more bottles of oxygen were taken to the sick chamber. Prof. Lorenzo Cheru bini found that the pneumonia had attacked the left lung, jeaving very little hope for his life. NO TOLLING OF BELLS HERE lealli of Pope Benedict Will Be Corn- mcmorated Later.

A DARING DIAMOND ROBBERY Stones Valued Ht 2,000 Stolen From J. II. Edwards Home. Diamonds valued at S2.000, a gold watch and $40 in money were taken about 7:20 o'clock Thursday night from Mr. and Mrs. John H. Edwards by a man who entered their home at S00 West street and held them up. The man opened the front door and walked in. pointing a revolver at Edwards and ordering him to hold up his nands. After taking his watch and cash, together with his Masonic ring containing a two-carat set. he was compelled to go to the rear of the house, where Mrs. Edwards was held up and four rings taken from her.

TO RENDER DECISION MONDAY Didn't Hide or Dodge Any Is sue in Case. Alex McAllister Told of Mystery of Communists. Miss Tillie Roitz, school ma'am in sizzling Crawford county heart of the Kansas melting pot won sym pathy of the state board of adminis tration today "With her frank, candid story of the march of the Amazons when they protested against the in dustrial court. Tillie Roitz didn't hide or dodge. Sometimes she nearly cried. Again she grinned and laughed, or nervously bit her finger nails as she told secrets that won't help her stand ing a bit in the mining camps. A Dramatic Hour. It was a rather dramatic hour at the state house today when Tillie Roitz told her story. She told of the big dread and fear that controlled human emotions and moved men and women to action in the mining camps during the strike. Near her sat Alex McAllister, who told something of the mystery work of the Communists and Reds. McAllister himself doesn't seem to know' fear. He has fought Alex Howat and the Black Handers. But he broke under a strain of emo tion when he told "now Tillie Roitz two years ago lost her job because she marched in a Red Cross parade. Tillie Roitz's story was supple mented by Tony Simeon, young Italian organizer for the International Mine Workers' union. Simeon told the state board he had brokn with his owi: father because of the Howat war. While the elder Simeon distributed food to Howat followers, the son helped organize the antis. Call To Ringo Women. When the Ajnazons began their marches in Crawford county, a call went to the "women in Ringo. the lit tle n.ining camp where Tillie Roitz is superintendent of schools. Members of her official board were interested in the call some of her acquaintances were high officials of the communist organization. Wives of the board members prepared to parade. So at 5 o'clock one morning Tillie Roitz heard the call in the streets, dressed and went to the mines. She rode in a car with a man and four other women. Dinner pails were taken from the lockers. A few men were led out to kiss the flag and take an oath of allegiance to the strike. One man suffered a black eye. Tillie Roitz saw it all or if she missed a detail some neighbor supplied missing information. "What did you do all the time?" asked Assistant Attorney General Ralston. "Me? I didn't do anything. I just stood there." "Why did you go?" "I don't just know. Somehow I knew I would lose my job if I didn't." Marched in Kcd Cross Parade. And McAllister told later how Tillie Roitz knew better than most people just what the price of staying at home would be. She had marched in a Red Cross parade- a few years before and lost her job, had been driven from the schools of her home county for a year and saw two Austrian girls who refused to march advanced to the highest salaried Jobs in the school. So the morning of December 13, Tillie Roitz played safe with her local board and her job and went out to the mines to stand in protest against the men returning to work. "The rebel element is In control of our schools- everything," said McAl lister who came to Topeka in defense of the young school teacher. He said Tillie Roitz is one of the few loyal teachers in the schools but it takes a lot of loyalty to overcome fear of loss of one's job, sometimes. And Tillie Roitz's mother, -who took in washing to give the girl a teacher's certificate, is dead and the young wo man's father has been dead many years. It hasn't been a soft, easy road for the young school ma'am and no one knew the story better than McAllister. Need Much Cleanup Work. "That district needs a lot of clean ing up," he said as he drifted away from the Amazon parade for a minute. "They're working ajt it now. But they haven't even dug under the surface. They get a jolntist now and then. But two start where one is closed. "Everyone seems to be making liquor. I know a man who earns $25 a day making stills simply putting the things together. Why recently they hid eighteen barrels of wine un der one of the straw stacks. I didn't know it at the time, but when I found out and told the officers, they drilled down into the barrels and syphoned the liquor all out before the officers got there. "Booze used to sell for $8 a quart the white mule kind. Now it's down to $3 it iff'so plentiful." Then Simeon supplemented a story of the dangers that faced Tillie Roitz if she failed to obey orders in the dis trict. He said the Ringo camp is honeycombed with Reds and Com munists and their organization has a line into most of the homes. May Not Lose Certificate. The attorney general's office had asked that Tillie Roitz's certificate as a teacher be revoked because of her participation in the parade. A de cision will be rendered Monday. With out anticipating action of the state board, it 'isn't very probable that Til lie Roitz is going to lose the certifi cate for which she and her mother made such a hard fight. But it looks like a lot of stormy weather for some of the school boards in Crawford county. Take Out Phones To Cut Expenses. Cottonwood Falls. Kan., Jan. 21.

His reign was shorter than that of any of the three popes immediately preced ing him. Pope Pius X his immediate predecessor, served eleven years be fore he died in 1914. Pope Benedict XV rose to the su preme head of the Catholic church September 6, 1914, less than six months after he was elevated to the cardinalship. He was born of noble parents at Pegli, near Genoa, Italy, November 21, 1S54. His father was Marchez Delia Chiesa. Ordained In 1878. Educated at Capronican college and the Academy of Ecclesiastica, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1878. He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by Car dinal Rampolla and for four years was secretary of the nunciatur in Spain. In 1901 he was appointed secretary of the cyohrer and in 1907 Pope Pius gave him the appointment of arch bishop of See of Bologna. He was made a cardinal in May, 1914. Pope Benedict was much affected by the horrors and sorrows of the World war and many times tried to i bring about peace negotiations. Ger S many's violation of Belgium's neutral I ity filled him with great sorrow and after the sinking of the Lusitania. he HAYS TO CENSOR Postmaster General's Jfew Job "Spring House Cleaning."

"We have two objectives. We will attempt to attain and maintain the highest standards in motion picture production and seek to develop the moral and educational values of mo tion pictures to their highest degrees." Hays said he saw "great educa tional possibilities" in his new voca tion. "Think of the possibilities it con tains," said the postmaster general. "We can bring the Sahara desert, the beauties of old Rome and the hal lowed palaces of Palestine to the school children of America. It Is a great opportunity."

The appeal failed to bring results, as did also his later plan for a Christmas truce. In January and in July, 1915, he again tried to bring about peace negotiations. In March, 1916, he repeated attempts and in May of the same year sug gested that America should act as a conciliator between the. warring na tions. His note to President Wilson to this effect .reached Washington when Germany and the United States were involved in a diplomatic crisis. The Vatican approved of President. Wil son's peace note irl 1917, but three months later, the United States en tered the war. The pope's most memorable appeal for peace was issued in his own hand writing on August 8, 1917, and asked belligerent rulers to end the struggle. During "the peace conference his picas were issued in behalf of the weaker nations. Wilson Conferred With Him. Just before the conference. Presi dent Wilson had a private conference with Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which many questions of a sooial and international nature were discussed The settlement of the 750-ycar-old Irish problem was received with great pleasure by the pope, who issued a message congratulating the principals in the negotiations.

Gossip of State Politics as Gathered hj State Journal. BY A. L. SHDLTZ. Apparently there isn't a real, gen uine 32nd degree Republican in Kan sas who hasn't chalked up plans for a trip to Topeka for the Kansas Day Club dinner aild its preceding festivi ties and hostilities. The banquet of groceries and reason this year prom ises to bring a near record crowd to the meeting. It will be one of (the finest opportunities of the year for the party worker to meet a fellow war rior in Room B64 or join in the mutual medicine mixing and brick bat tossing in the hotel lobbies. In view of the approaching cam paign the Kansas Day Club gathering this year holds more promise of mingled 1oy and sorrow and fear than any political assembly in this state in many months. With the, prospect of some 20 to 30 candidates of every faction, brand and creed knomi to the party and witn tne DlaCK ana mreai ening thunder cloud of the Taxpayers League in the west, it isn't a situation of true promise. Even in the olij days the party leadership might wir have viewed with some alarm, 'ritn the absence of either party leadership or or organization as at the present thanking you very much for the bless ing of the primary the viewing ?ith alarm promises to beeCme a rather i mad scramble to cover. The wise men of the party heve been doing a lot of serious talking lately. To be sure the old crowds haven't exchanged corsage bouquets since the Chicago convention, but there is a sort of community of in terest that always eomes to the sur face in a crisis. So remembering the George B. Snow vote of two years ago, there is a growing tendency to accept the present situation as a sufficient cri3is to warrant serious, sane and solemn discussion of the problems of the campaign. Call For Mr. Snort This is the sort of season when Old Bill Snort eomes in from -tne-tumma j weed Delt arid gets an audience. Old Bill has heard a rumbling ana a grumbling. He knows ominous sounds when he hears 'em. And Bill Snort will have more invitations to draw an easy chair up around,1 the radiators in the National hotel and toast his shins than he has had foij a long, long time. It was old Bill Snort who came to town twenty years ago with the grass roots dope that the railroads and the machine politicians had gone too fa-. Because the leader didn't listen to Bill and back off a bit. the primary came on. Now Bill is coming to town witn information that hades will have to j be liquidated if something isn't done about this tax matter. Because the word is already here, there is a rather certain prospect that the Kansas Day club milling will re sult in a big demand for a state con: vention to be held sometime this spring. The Democrats have decided to try out the. convention plan in an effort to suggest some nominees to voters in the primaries next August. Now it is very likely-that the Repub licans will follow suit.

Two impor tant moves were made today by the senate "agricultural bloc" in carrying further the program which its leaders declare is intended to benefit the con sumer as well as the farmer. Senator Lenroot, Republican, of Wisconsin, introduced in the senate a bill embodying the recommendation of the Joint agricultural inquiry com mission of whietl h is 'a member, that tho fedeVai farm loan act be so amended eg enable the farmer to secure long term credits on his farm products. Copper Serves Xot'ce. Senator Capper. Republican. of Kansas, served notice that the inter state commerce commission must, soon reduce freight rates on farm and other products and that "unquestionably greater economic benefit just at this time lies in lower freight rates than in lower passenger rates." Senator McNary, Republican, of Oregon; another leader of the "bloc." announced that the Lenroot bill would receive the "undivided support" of "those senators who have the best interests of the farmer and the con sumer at heart." Backs Mileage Book Act. Capper's declaration was made in connection with the bill- sponsored by Senator Robinson.

Tho- Ameri can proposal to make public interna tional commitments relating to Chin.-i was adopted in a much amended form today by the far eastern commutes of the arms conference. Among numerous changes made was one eliminating the proposal ob jected to by Japan for publicity of en gagements in China made by private individuals but to which foreign gov ernments themselves are not parties. As adopted, however, the resolu tion does provide that agreements be tween the Chinese government Hsclf and private individuals abroad must be consummated openly and their de tails made public. Jap Policy Irritates. The Japanese policy of delay in the aims conference is beginning to irri tate the other delegations as well as the Umted States senate. A review today by the conference of the status revealed that at every turn, the Japanese are holding up de cisions, and the lack of progress, par ticularly this week, is beginning to chafe the other powers. Jap Demund Obstacle. Japanese insistence upon joint fi nacial operative control of the Shan tung railway is blocking a settlement of this famous issue. This led yester day to the breaking out of the first real debate on conference issues in the snate. Japanese insistence that the Bonin and .Oshirna groups be exempted from the fortifications provisions of the new treat? is preventing acceptance of this .all important document. Won't Show Cards. In the Far East committee proper, Japanese objection to filing with the conference the list of treaties and agreements on Chinese mutters has so far prevented the adoption of the earns on the table resolution under which all the powers except Japan agreed to make known their Chinese commitments. The committee tackled this job again today with hopes thiit Japan would withdraw her opposition. The cost of the conference Is be ginning to trouble some of the dele gations. In this connection it wns -learned today the question of who is to bear the expense of the Washing ton meeting and of the future confer ences which h ,ve been agreed upon, was recently brought up by fho French in a committee meeting. Wants V. S. lo Stand Expense. The French inquired how the ex penses were to be met. They wts informed that while there had been no definite agreement on this point, the prevailing idea was that each dele gation should bear their fair share of the cost. The French then put forward a ten tative suggestion that if such was to be the case, the amounts expended should be "deducted from the war debt." In other words, the United States would bear the entire cost of this and future meetings. Foreign Delegates Restive. There was no support to this sug gestion and the matter was allowed to drop. Jt caused considerable quiet comment; however. The increasing restiveness of the foreign delegations, reflected in a de sire to wind up the conference and get home, led to predictions today by American delegates that the confer ence would end in two weeks. Today, the Far East committee again tackled Chirese problems whita the drafting committee met again to whip into treaty form the agreements already reached.

Chicago, Jan. 21. The siege of Troy had nothing; on the siege Mrs. Vesta. MeFatrich BrauVi, embattled wife, is withstanding in -ryr effort to balk her husband. Georga F. Braun, from gain ing possession of the Braun home in Astor street. Mrs. Braun was hopeful of reinfoi cements in the form of a court injunction today but was pre pared to hold out to the last ditch. Mrs. Braun and her husband are separated but not divorced. She is siting him for separate maintenance, alleging, drunkenness, habitual idle ness, abusive treatment and nonsup port. Recently Braun endeavored to sell the home in Astor street for $50,000. Mrs. Braun refused to sign the deed. Then Braun began removing the fur niture from the house with the intent of storing it and leading the residence. A CLOUD IN WEST iContlDued from Pay One. lar candidate. The men who will be most active in the hotel lobbies Jan uary 30 will be busily working Out a get-together program. One should not be unkind. The spirit of broad Christian charity should prevail. It will be a fine idea not to recall where various fellows stood on various matters fifteen years ago. For some of the men who will see merit in the pre-primary convolu tion plan for this year have never wavered in their advocacy and sup port of the state-wide primary idea. There isn't a man whose lightning rod is up in the governorship storm who will not come to town late next week and begin his handshaking cam paign. Several of the prospective candidates have nlrpndv boiifbt In rce blocks of tickets. Practically all ofl them have had hotel reservations of long standing. It looks like a three-cornered fight for the presidency of the club this year. Dr. C. W. Jones of Olathe, who stepped aside last year to give the place to Wilbur Hawk of Atchison, has the pledge of support from the veterans of the club who have directed its policies for years. Thus far Doctor Jones has not been an aggressive can didate, but lie has a bunch of prom ises and pledges waiting if he wants to call them for redemption. J. O. Evans, former representative from Mitchell county, is one of the strong new candidates. He will come to the banquet with a big following from the northwest. Out in the southwest the Seventh district has a candidate in Charles Townsley of the Great Bend Tribune. Tonwsley is well known by newspaper men and Republicans in the Seventh district and will have many votea in the business meeting. The men will not have all the fun during the celebration of the state's birthday anniversary. The women's organization will be just as active- in discussion of candidates and are de veloping just as big a row over the presidency as the men could possibly desire. Mrs. Matie Kimball of Manhattan had a clear track for the presidency until a bunch of people got in the way. Now it is a badly muddled affair. Mrs. Kimball, who was a Republican elec tor two years ago and was on the stump for the state committee, is fac ing a full grown scrap when she starts lining up votes for the club, presidency. Mrs. Charles F. Scott, of Iola; Mrs. Harry Taylor, of Lyons; Mrs. Roy Bitt man, of Independence; Mrs, Emma Forter, of Marysville, are among pos sible opposing candidates) each with much strength. There will be but four speeches at the Republican dinner this year. What more, Oran Layton. secretary of the club, promises to start the gurg ling of soup and sorting of silage right on time b:00 o clock, at Masonic Temple. President Wilbur Hawk of Atchison will make a short speech. The presi dent's speech is always short and Hawk is too shrewd and clever to violate an established rule. Then Frank H. McFarland of Washington, assistant United Spates district attor ney, will talk about the home state and some of the domestic troubles. InC.l.n la tt.. -1 to respond to the toast of honor "Kansas." Mrs. Manley I Forseen of Minne apolis, Minn., an effective organizer under direction of the national com mittee, will talk for the women. Con gressman Joseph .Fordney, chairman of the house ways and means com mittee, and author of the Fordney revenue act, will be the principal speaker. Men active In the Hodges organiza tion eight and ten years ago will oc cupy most of the seats at a dinner for Henderson S. Martin in his home. Lawrence, February 2. The banquet is a sort of coming out pafty for Mar tin in connection with hts Deanocrat governorship ambitions. Martin was chairman of the state committee when Hodges won the gov ernorship over Arthur Capper in 1912 as a result of the Republican smash up. After the election Martin was made chairman of the public utilities commission and was later selected by President Wilson as vice governor of tho Philippines at $16,500 a year. Martin resigned after three years ir. the Islands. He. is a candidate for the governorship on a platform which declares that the government ought to guarantee a 6 per cent return to he wheat growers. lorn Sweeney is staging the Martin show. Jouett Shouse, former Seventh district congressman and later as sistant secretary 6f the treasury, will be one of the principal speakers. Many of the men prominent during the Hodges administration -will be present. Jonathan M. Davis of Bourbon county. Democrat nominee for gov ernor two years ago, won't run again this season. But he isn't sending out flowers to the Henderson Martin party, either. When Davis talks about Whe Martin platform. Republicans may ieei reiresnea ana lorget that they have troubles of their own right here at home. Davis is a farmer. He believes a farmer will be the Democrat nominee this year. But he is sure the farmer's name isn't Davis. Having withdrawn Advised by her attorney that she could not halt the removal of the fur niture unless she were in physical possession of the property.Mrs. Braun left her apartment in the fashionable Ambassador hotel, and slipping past the cordon of guards Braun had thrown about the house, ensconced herself in a thira floor room. There she, with her sister, has re mained for twenty-four hours or more despite the fact that there is no heat, light or water in the house. She has kept warm with relays of hot water bags brought in by friends and sub sisted on food prpvided by the same course. Attorneys for Mrs. Braun today will ask an injunction to prevent removal of th3 furniture. If this is granted, Mrs. Braun will forsake her historic siege and return to her warm, luxuri ous apartment. himself from the field Davis is free to pick on Martin and his price guarantee platform. "It sounds fine," said Davis. "But a guarantee on wheat would mean that the farmers would have to pay to ubemselves and to each other the guarantee they fix. Maybe it will work. I don't know. 'But what has k f i UCVUUIO V L KIT UdlieailU IU1 .VVVC taxes? What about the need of sim plified government? What, about the necessity of real service for public money? What about the demand of the peo'ple that some of the useless state laws be repealed? What are we going to do with the useless and ex pensive boards and commissions in Kansas? .What about the profiteer?" JDavis believes these are timely sub jects for state discussions. In short he infers that Martin ought to put a bit of Kansas language in his declaration of principles. The prospects that, Miss Lorraine E. Wooster may land a third nomination for state superintendent of schools is worrying the teachers. Consequently there was a bit of gossip during the teachers meeting here .this week re garding a safe, sound and sane Demo crat. Just now it looks as tho the Bour bon nomination will go to Harry Mc Guire, superintendent of schools at Kiowa, Barber county. McGuire has been identified with school work in this state IS years. He has been at the head of the Kiowa school six years, was eight years at Valley Falls and was for several years identified with Sixth district schools at Norton, Ober lin and Colby. He has a strong fol lowing among the teachers and more than the ordinary acquaintance in state politics. t WARRANTS OUT FOR FOUR. Attorney General Orders Arrest of Coal Field Pool Hall Proprietors.

Wheat has shown X decided tendency toward higher prices this week, (largely as a result of prospective creator European demand together with talk of a coming shortage in the domestic supply.

Announcement that world stocks of wheat had decreased nearly five million bushels in a week and t4mt estimates of the Australian surplus were being sharply reduced gave some point to hopefulue abont a greater ea1 ahead from Europe for wheat. The buying Bide of the market was also favored because of adverse crop reports and because of word of the pres ence of the green bug pest. Trm!y snow fails in Ue southwest led. however, to a moderate downturn from the top prices of the week. Corn and oats derive their gains for the most part from the action of wheat. Besides there was further export buying of corn. Scantiness. of provision stocks tended to lift the value of provisions. KANSAS CITY PRODUCE MARKET. Kansas City, Jan. 21. EGGS Market lc lower.

When Harvey Morris, a 16-year-old youth, hungry and poorly clad, stood before Judge James A. HcClure tn the second division of the district court this week, and admitted that he at tempted to pass a forged check for $10 to buy an overcoat to keep him self warm, his case immediately, at tracted the attention of the attorneys and witnesses in the case of M. C. Willard against Sylvester Forrester, Kansas oil king. Morris told the court that he forged the check because he was out of money and had been unable to find employment. His story was one of general hardship experienced by a youth in attempting to make his way thru the world alone, His home was in Denver, he said, out ne had been unable to go there on account of a lack of money. k men tne neart or me Kansas farmer-stockman who ias made sev eral millions in the oil game during the past four or five years showed it self. The court was considering a parole for the lad, but the problem of turning "him loose in the world again without lunds was in the way. Then thru one of those underground "grape vine" sources Judge McClure discov ered that the problem would be met and the parole was granted. when Harvey Morris left that night for Denver be was wearing an outfit of new clothing, Including a new over coat, had real money in his pockets and a ticket that entitled him to a place on the cushions. "The sight of that lad got close to me," said Forrester. CITIZENSHIP TO FIFTEEN Out of Total of Fifty Applicants Tliir- ty-FivJ Are Rejected.

The closing of the Fiersen Manu facturing company's plant at 700 East Eighth street and the sale of the prop erty at the earliest possible moment was indicated today when a motion bv two bondholders to intervene in the litigation was argued before Judge George Whiteomb in the district court That the plant should be closed in order to put an end to the heavy operation expenses seemed to be the unanimous opinion of several at torneys who appeared in the interest of the receiver, the trustees, the bondholders and others interested. Col. Clad Hamilton, representing the two bondholders who sought to inter vene, told the court that in December, 1921. the earnings of the company amounted to 3247.87 as compared with more than $2,600 for salesmen's salary and expenses alone. vl t 1 1 .II.... ....1 h. y-t nl ls ready at any moment to sign the order for the sale of the proptrty. Just how this matter will be handled, how ever, is the stumbling block in the transaction. No definite action was taken today and tbe decision on the motion of the two bondholders to In tervene was postponed until Janu ary 2$. Callforinans Intervene. The motion was filed by Frank C. Boasen, of Hollywood, Cal., and Chas. W. Boasen, of Oklahoma City, who say they are holders of J63.000 worth of the company's bonds. Their attempt to intervene in the suit brought against the company last September by T. C. Daniels, a large stockholder, is based oq .the theory that the order of the court authorizing the receiver to Issue 350,000 worth of receiver's certificates gives a preference to lienholders who were not made parties defendant. Amonsr these are the Bank of Topeka and the Merchants' National bank. The Boasens argue that they 'should be permitted to intervene in order to pro tect their own interests. The two banks, however, together with the receiver, represented by George McDermott. opposed the mo tion on the grounds that the bond holders interests are represented by the trustees. Paul B. Sweet and W. B, Lrwrance, both of whom are parties defendant, and that the admittance of the Boasens would open the gates to nil the bondholders, of whom there are some 150. thus making a ponder ous matter of litigation without addi tional advantages to any one. W. B. Lowrance himself favored the inter vention of the Boasens. While Judge Whiteomb did not rule on the motion it was plainly- indicated, it was said that he intends to overrule it. Property Should Be Sold. The motion for an order of the court to instruct the receiver to sell the property was filed some time ago by Johnson Beck, but has not been ruled upon. Colonel Hamilton, rep resenting the Boasens, and Lowrance, representing the trustees, today both expressed the belief that the property should be sold at once. George Mc Dermott acceded to this demand and intimated that the plant will be closed without further parley. 1 The validity of the receiver's certifi cates, of which some $22,009 worth have been issued, was Indirectly chal lenged by Colonel Hamilton in pre senting the Boasens' motion. He of fered the suggestion that if the court had intended his order of September 26 as it read on its face that the receiver's certificates should be a prior lien on the property that it is invalid because it violates the consti tutional amendment prohibiting the confiscation of property without due process of law, and because no state a. ,a.w initialling llie OUll WILL SEEK INJUNCTION Independent Taxi Drivers Oppose Meter Ordinance. An injunction against the putting into effect of the city ordinance re quiring the installation of taxi-meters on taxi-cabs will bo sought by the Union Taxl-Cab company of Topeka, and the Independent drivers. The suit is being backed by the leg islative committee of the Topeka In dustrial Council, Dan .Richmond, act ing chairman of that committee, stated today. "We are behind them in their fight asainst the ordinance," Rich mond stated. The ordinance which requires the installation of meters on all taxicabs operating in the city was passed re cently by the city commission, to be published and become effective Feb ruary 1. It was stated today that the injunc tion will bo filed before that date. The independent taxi-drivers have opposed the ordinance from the start, on the ground that it would make the cost of doing business for them pro hibitive. The ordinance requires each driver to furnish a surety bond for the protection of his passenger from dam age. The independent taxi drivers as sert that it costs more to supply this bond than they can afford. They also object to the cost of installing the meters on their cars. Local Mention Glen R. Ames today filed a petition in the district court asking a divorce from Katharine M. Ames, who he says abandoned him in November, 1919. They were married in Liberty, Mo, in April, 1915. Mrs. Clara B. Mills today filed a petition in the district court asking a divorce from Lawrence V. Mills. She asks for the custody of their minor children, ownership of their property and attorney's fees.

MORE RURAL HI6H SCHOOLS About SOO In Operation in Kansas at Present Time. The rural high school movement in Kanais goes steadily onward, ap parently gaining momentum. "Reports of several new high school districts organised are received weekly by the Kansas State Teachers' asso ciation. F. L. Pinet, secretary of the. association, estimates there are now approximately three hundred rural high schools in operation or under or ganization. This is about one-half of all the high schools in the state. One of the reasons assigned for the increase of nearly four thousand in total high school enrollment this year is the increasing number of rural high schools. y "Many of these are in mere ham lets." said Secretary Pinet, "but the character of work done, equipment, teaching force and morale of these rural high schools is such as will com pare most favorably with the larger high school systems of the state. these al hl h echoo!8 and th Kansas is fortunate in having ana women wno administer and teach in them are rendering a real service to the communities in which they work."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1922 BY CENTURY MARK George A. Gordon of Eureka 101 on Sunday. "Was Member Indiana Constitu tional Convention In 1850. CAME WEST WHEN IT WAS WILD Always Active In Polities But Never Candidate. Still Mentally Alert and Physi cally Strong. Kureka. Kan.. Jan. 21. One year past the century mark and still phys ically and mentally alert and taking great interest in politics and current events is George A. Gordon o this town. George A. Gordon. His e.-;tj-emc age has brought Mr. Curiinn d number of distinctions. Members of his family claim that he ii the only grandfather of a Civil war veteran now living; that he is th last iurviving member of the Indiana state constitutional convention of 1S50, and lie is one of few, if not the only man, living today who .heard Revolutionary war stories from his grandfather who took part in it. Jan uary 22 wiil be Mr. Gordon's 101st birthday. Gruiiilfutlier in Revolution. "My grandfather, George Gordon of Cumberland, l'a., was a soldier in the American revolution," related Mr. Gordon recently. "It was my great uncle, William Armstrong, who cap lured the six Hessians and took them into Washington's 'amp, and said in reply to the general's question as to how he captured them: 'Faith, I sur rounded them" I .recall as a boy hearing my grandfather tell of this and other incidents of the Revolution ary war." The attainment of an extreme old age is a mutter of much satisfaction to this centenarian, because earlier itu.llfe 76 years ago to be exact Mr. (iordon was in ill health. He was compelled to give up the practice of law on which he was just embarking, at Newton, 111. An overland trip to Texas during which he had typical xperierices of the "Wild West" such as getting caught in a buffalo stam pede and being chased by Indians improved his health so much, that he decided to take up farming. Never Had Debt Worries. "I attribute my longevity largely to niy temperate habits and an active outdoor life," said Mr. Gordon. "Also to -the fact that I always have made it a point to keep out of debt and avoid worrying." Mr. Gordon has never used tobacco or intoxicating liquors. He always lias been 1 great reader and has taken :m active part in political campaigns tho never has been a candidate for public office. As a rule he looks upon the progress of the age with approval. "Hut there are some present day systems of which I do not approve," lie asserted emphatically. 'I refer to s-.iyle of women's dress- short skirts, low necked dresses; also this bobbed bair fad. Perhaps more than any thing else I deplore the growing lack f observation of the Sabbath day. That grieveg me." Was School Tcaclier" First. Mr. Gordon united with the church in 1841. He is a Mason. He was born in Warren county, Ohio, near Spring boro, January 22, 1821. He moved to Sullivan county in 1836 and received his education at -Miami university and Wabash college, but left school be fore graduating. He was married to Sarah Kllinore Dunn of Crawford ville, Ind.. September 22, 1S32. To this union nine children were born He lot two sons in the Civil war Jnembers of the 4th and 23rd Iowa in fantry. His living children are Mrs. laniel S. Weideman, Eldorado, Kan.; Miss Laura M- Gordon. Mrs. Lmma 13. Badser. Mrs. Alice Kalb. all of Kureka, Kan.; Mrs. Hypatia B. Hart, Seattle, Wash., and Airs. Lizzie F. Johnson. Denver. He has nine living grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and four great-great- grand children. State Senator Gordon A. Badger of Eureka is a great-grandson. School teaching was Mr. Gordon's first occupation at Monmouth, 111. He studied law and in 1844 was ad mitted to the bar. When elected to represent Howard and Cass counties, Indiana, in the con stitutional convention in 1850, he was a resident of Kokomo. In 1S56 he moved overland to a farm near Red Oak, la. He was elected to the Iowa legislature in 1862. After the close of the Civil war he moved to-near Pleasant Hiil. Two years later, he moved to Kansas. Mr. Gordon has lived In the life time of every president except Wash ington and has voted at every presi dential election in eighty years, ex cept one. Mr, Gordon still has most of his natural teeth and put on glasses only a few years ago. R. R. CHIEFS IX CONFERENCE. Executives of Hundred Lines Discuss New Wage Negotiations. Chicago, Jan. 21. Railway execu tives representing more than one hun dred transportation lines of the coun try met here today to discuss a pro posed return to negotiations of wages and working conditions with the train service brotherhoods on a regional basis. It was expected that tile regional proposal which is merely a return to ihe pre-war method of negotiations would be endorsed. 60 Sixth District News Notes Items and Reminiscences by An Old Timer With His Ear to the Grass. Roots. BY HARRY ROOT. It will doubtless be interesting to the lawyers now living In the Sixth congressional district to know who have rPresnted their Judicial dis tricts on the bench. In the original 15th district the judges have been D. J. Banta. Joel Holt. Clark A. Smith, Cyrus Heren, R. M. Pickler and W. R. Mitchell. In the 17th district, D. C. Nellis was the first followed by W. H Pratt. L. K. Pratt, G. Webb Ber tram. John R. Hamilton, A. C. T. Geiger, W. Langmade. J. A. P. fal coner and Willard Simmons. In the 34th district are Chas. W. Smith and C. J. Sparks. In the 23rd district, F. H. Prescott, S. O. Hines. W. G. East land. S. J. Osborn, Lee Monroe, J. H. Reeder, J. C. Ruppenthal and Isaac Purcell. Banta, Holt, Clark A. Smith, Nellis; W. II. Pratt, Hamilton, Pres- cott. Hines. Eastland. Osborn and Reeder have passed on. The living judges and ex-judges are: Heren lives in Chicago: Plckier, Smith Center; Mitchell, Mankato; i Chas. W. Smith, Topeka; Sparks, Goodland; L. K. Pratt is in Alaska; Bertram. Arbuckle, Calif.; Geiger and Langmade live in Oberlin; Falconer, Atwood, Simmons, Norton; Ruppenthal, Russell and Pur cell, Wakeeney; Judge-Smith, now pa role officer in tho governor's ofice, has the iecord of serving on the bench continuously longer than any other district judge In the state. He was ap pointed by Gov. Humphrey on the creation of the 34th district, in .1889, and served until he was succeeded by Judge Sparks in 1915. Your cor respondent was personally acquainted with these- men with two exceptions, Preecott and Hines. Let the reader of these notes take down his map of Kansas and trace the boundary lines of the Sixth and Sev enth congressional district, two geo graphical divisions that cover one half of the, state. Lying side by side they stretch from the center of Kansas to the Colorado line. The building of the four great railroad lines across the state from east to west, separated the people of these two districts, as far as neighborly visits were concerned, as they are separated from the First and Second districts. All railroad travel was cast and ,west; there were no cross lines. If a citizen of the Sixth district living on- the Rock Island at Norton, or on the Union Pacific at Hays, desired to transact business, po litical or otherwise, at Dodge 'City, he would have-to travel by rail via To peka. And the same was true of the citizens living in the Seventh district, who would have to usfe the Santa Fe or the Missiourl Pacific via Topeka. Now with the automobile all this is. changed and the people of the Sixth and Seventh districts are neighbors, and visit with each other. What- the railroads failed to do build cross lines thru western Kansas enterpris ing citizens have done, by establishing several automobile 'bus. lines which touch the principal towns.of these dis tricts. Why; this correspondent has heard that the people of the Sixth disy-ict attend church in the Seventh, traveling long distances by automo bile, and that it -is not unusual for Seventh district people to attend church at towns along the "Union Pa-, cific railroad. In the earlier days only the. old time politicians of these two districts knew each other. They would meet at state conventions in Topeka. Now the telephone and the automobile have made all'the citizens neighbors and friends. For this changed condition you must give credit to three things the telephone, the automobile and the primary elec tion law. I Among the prominent figures in Topeka last week, in attendance at the farmers' congress, and visiting old timers, was John W. Schlicher, of Sheridan county. He served two erms as representative from that county. He also served as deputy live stock commissioner under the Hodges administration. In 1915 he was a can didate for state auditor. He is mow out of. politics, but he wouldn't stay away from the farmers' convention. He is now giving his attention to live stock, with farming as a side line. In the 1913 session of the legislature he attracted much attention by his op position to an amendment to the pro hibitory law. which he thought would work a hardship to his church, the ritual of which required wine for sac ramental .purposes. Schlicher has scores of friends in Topeka who are always glad to meet" him. Hp.llie L. Mclvor of Oakley, and brother of Frank Mclvor, assistant state auditor, is the new editor of the Messenger, published at Cedarvaic. Chautauqua county. There were only two of the Mclvor boys and they both graduated from printers' devils into newspaper publishers In northwest Kansas. "Romance In Business" is the title of an article recently printed in the Beloit Call. It refers to the home of the milling company in that town, and is full of interest. This mill is located on the Solomon river, at the foot of Mill street, the principal busi ness street of the place. On this spot is where Tim Hersey. the founder of Beloit, put his feet down on. and started his saw mill. On the site was a spring of water so Beloit was first named Willow Springs, as the banks of the river were covered with a growth of willows. Hersey and others continued their efforts to start and build a town on this chosen spot. It wasn't long until the saw mill grew into a grist mill, and soon the trading post of Willow Springs was changed in name to Beloit, and Mill street and Hersey avenue are reminders of pio neer days, the one of his dreams, the other of his home and name. Since the early days the flouring- mill changed hands several times, the sev eral owners being Vreeland. Mc Crum, A. T. Eodgers. J. C. Fisher, and F. C. Sheldon. -Two men con nected with the enterprise are C. C. Blair, manager, who has been with the. mill for twenty-two years, and B. C. Brumage. head miller, has been with them thirty-four years. There has never been a strike of the em ployes of the mill. Every new firm has addsd further improvements un til now the Beloit mill has a daily ca pacity of 500 barrels. At one time competition from Minnesota threat ened the trade of the Beloit Milling company on account of a brand of flour the two mills were 'manufactur ing of the same name. An agent from Minneapolis visited the Beloit mill and demanded that the mill stop the manufacture of a certain flour, claiming they had the right of the name for several years in advance of the Beloit mill. Lawyers were em ployed, legal documents were exam ined and it was proven the Beloit Milling company had prior 'rights by several years. The rade of the Be loit Milling company extends thru several states. It is an institution any state can well be proud of. Many people living in Topeka know E. S. Knight, who yiow makes his home in St. Francis, and is probate judge of Cheyenne county. When Geo. A. Clark was secretary "of state Knight was an assistant in the office. While there he established a- repu tation for story telling. He had good ability as a man and as a lawyer. He was a good mixer and a true friend, and he was the best all round story teller that has ever held a situation in the state house, his friends claim. He was foreman of the federal grand jury one term at Leavenworth when Harry Bone was district attorney. He was in Sherman county during the county seat contest between Eusti's and Goodland, and took an active part. His Topeka friends wish him success in his chosen location, and hope he will win out in the office he has chosen. State Senator John M. Gray, of Kir win, has sold the Phillipsburg Post to Warren White, publisher of the News. The consolidated papers will make one of the strong publications of the Sixth district. It will retain the name of Phillipsburg News, with "Wardie" White in full charge. Senator Gray states in his farewell to the readers of the conoslidated papers that poor health was the main reason for sell ing the Post. The News also states that Senator Gray will soon go to Rochester, Minn., to consult the Mayos in regard to his condition and whether it is deemed necessary to un dergo an operation. His many friends in the Sixth district and thruout the state will hope for his return home 'in robust physical condition. Harwood Benton and his bride httc .ried back from their brief honeymoon so that he could be present at the meeting of the bankers of DecatuH county at Oberlin. When the local bankers elected officers. Mr. Benton was chosen president of the associa tion. This fine young man. with his brother, Gerald, who also is recognized among the leading business men of northwest Kansas, and especially in banking circles, have taken over the big business oi. their father, the late Otis L. Benton,- and are carrying it on in a most successful manner. Gerald has recently built? a fine home in Oberlin, and Harwood will build an other for himself and bride this year. The writer is wondering just how many people living in the Thirty-ninth senatorial district, composed of the thirteen counties in the west end of the Sixth congressional district, can name the state senators who have rep resented that district since its drgani zation. Just to refresh their memories your correspondent gives them, as their names appear to him, in the or der in which they were incumbents: K. E. sWillcoxon, of Oakley; now a practicing attorney at Sigourney, la.: Levi Pritchard, Hill City;. Charles Buschow, Colby, now of Kansas City; Fred-Robertson, Atwood, until a short time ago United States district attor ney for Kansas; James Malone, Hern -don, now a resident of Topeka, and Frank A. Mclvor; of Hoxie, who is also assistant auditor of state. Tho Thirty-ninth district as it now stands was created under a legislative ap portionment act in 1889 and is com posed of the following counties, Ellis, Trego, Gove. Logan. Wallace. Rooks, Graham, Sheridan, Thomas, Sherman, Decatur, Rawlins and Cheyenne. Prior to this apportionment this territory was in the Fortieth district and was represented by E. J. Donnell of Rooks county, and Hill P. Wilson, of Ellis county, in the order named. The choice of the earlier senators in this district were often stormy events. This was especially (true in the 'days prior to the passage of the primary law, and the writer well remembers the convention which was held at Colby when Charles Buschow was nominated over Dr. A. B. Jones, of Trego county, and C. C. Evans of Sheridan. In the campaign which followed Selden' G. Hopkins, now a resident of Wyoming, and U. S. land commissioner under President Wilson, was the Democratic nominee. Hopkins won the tlection by a small fnajority, but Buschow con tested and was seated. The legisla tive session following this election was the one that elected J. Ralph Burton to the IT. S. senate. Hoxie. cotMity seat of Sheridan county, is the home of Chas. H. Beers, a live and successful business man. He commenced selling goods there in 1886, the year Kenneth people put their buildings on wheels and moved to Hoxie. Commencing his business on a small scale, year after year he branched out with larger stocks, until now he occupies the major portion of the largest building in Hoxie. He has been a success in all these years. Many families have been benefited and carried thru 'the hard years by his generosity. While he Is careful, he attends strictly to his own affairs. He is public spirited and donates liberally to all enterprises for the good of his town. He is also director in the First National, the oldest bank in Sheridan county. It is to the credit of such men as Beers who has done bo much to keep Hoxie on the map Smith county isn't so slow after all. It has had the secretary of state and state insurance commissioner. It has had a nominee for lieutenant gover nor, who was defeated at the polls. It has had three candidates for con gress, two of whom were defeated in elections, and the third One failed of nomination, and it is the home of the present state treasurer. Now Mr- and Mrs. John Morrill of this county, makes another record, they being parents of triplets, the first ever born in the county. They are all girls, and healthy, and weighed four pounds each at their birth. COYOTE BELLI IS DEAD. Sioux Indian. Former Scout, Goes to Happy Hunting Ground From Prison. Leavenworth, TCan., Jan. 21. Coy ote Belly, 76-year-old fullblood Sioux Indian, has deported to "the happy hunting ground" from behind the prison bars. He died in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, where he- had been confined more than ten years for the slaying of Yellow Wolf, an In dian policeman. Shortly before his death the Indian, who in his prime had served as an Indian scout for the United States army, made a will be queathing 1.280 acres of land in South Dakota and considerable cash to his three children. GET NEW SERVICE C. of C. Members May Receive Business Index.. Government Employment Bul letin Made Available. C. OF C. HELPS GATHER DATA Figures on Employment and Industrial Volume Given. Employment Statistics Most Sellable Index Is Claim. Thru the efforts of G. C. Sickler, secretary of the Topeka Chamber of, Commerce, the members of that or ganization have had made available for them, a unique government pub lication which Is 'declared to be one of the most reliable indices possible, of trade and industrial conditions gen erally, thruout the United States. The United States Department of Labor is publishing, each- month, an "Industrial Employment Survey Bulle tin," designed to analyze and distrib ute accurate information as to indus trial employment. E. F. Fader, with headquarters in Kansas City, is dis trict director' of the organization which gathers the information for transmission to Washington. C. of C Gathers Data. One of the agencies thru which he keeps closely in touch with the em ployment situation in Topeka, is the Chamber of Commerce, from the of fice of which organization question naires and surveys are regularly sup plied to him. By the co-operation of Fader, it has been made possible for every member of the chamber to re ceive the bulletin monthly if he wishes it. Sickler has received 1,600 copies of the December bulletin, which are to be distributed among the membership. A mailing list is to be made up from the membership, of those persons who wish to receive the bulletin each month, direct from the government. The Industrial Employment Survey Bulletin is a barometer of business and industrial conditions. This bul letin is also a news service. The in formation gathered is made available to the newspapers of the country im mediately upon completion .each month and before publication in the bulletin. "The inauguration and .development of this service has beef!- in response to 'a demand from business interests for authoritative statements of busi ness conditions making available to the press and to the banks of the country the true trend of business, stripped of all propaganda," Fader says. The Information in the bulletin Is gathered in 231 leading manufactur ing cities of the country. In sixty-five of these cities, in which are located the bulk of industries and manufactur ing of the country, there are gathered on the. last day of the month by busi ness men connected with banks and commercial organizations, the definite nuniber of people engaged in each of the industries. These figures are for warded to Washington by wire and form the basis of a tabulation which gives an exact; statement of the trend of each line of manufacturing busi ness. "Unlike most barometers of busi ness this service is not based upon or modified by figures pertaining to the Value or volume of -commodities pro duced, nor by financial or bank state ments," Fader claims. Is Most Accurate Factor. After -a. careful analysis of the fac tors best qualified to indicate tho trend of industries, the figures on the number of persons employed in each general industrial group was found to be most accurate. In other words, of the three factors entering into produc tion, materials, capital and labor, la-' bor is the most responsive to business fluctuations or changes since it varies immediately with the increase or de crease of the volume of business. It follows that a series of figures deter mined from the same firms over regu lar periods would indfeate not alone the trend, but the volume of the in-i dustry from which the figures are gathered. In January, 1921, when the greatest pressure was felt from the depression, this service published a statement that in excess of four and one-half million people were idle in this coun try. The idleness continued to. in crease until about July 15th, when apparently the bottom of the depres sion had been reached and from that time .to the present there has been a steady improvement. In 'addition to such general, information this publi cation gives detailed information on all manufacturing in the country, the industries being divided into 14 prin cipal groups. The condition of business In each one of these groups is shown sep arately, and is also shown separately for each of the sixty-five principal industrial centers. Commercial Organizations Comment. In addition to the detailed figures collected each month on employment, various banking and commercial or ganizations in all of-the 231 manufac turing centers, contribute a statement of business conditions in their locality. This appears in the form of comment, and occupies about twelve pages of the bulletin each month. Topeka is one of the cities in the system .and thru the Chamber of Commerce and other agencies there is collected each month a detailed statement of wholesale and retail business, manufacturing and building. In the state of Kansas all of the prin cipal cities are contributing the same information with the result that a clear understandable picture is given of business conditions in, this state once each month. LEGAL EXCUSES ABE FEW Supreme Court- Makes Ruling on Railroad Accidents. Only an earthquake or other equally calamitous happening apparently will furnish a legal excuse for failure of railroads in Kansas to transport live stock promptly at an average speed of fifteen miles an hour, as required by statute. The state supreme court recently held that the unavoidable accidents and exceptions mentioned in the law do nst include delays from the fol lowing causes: Allowing trains to pass; track b.ocked by trains; waiting for block: taking water and coal; inspecting train; lunch for train crew; waiting for engine; cutting out helper; hot box; sparks from brake shoe; loading stock for other, shippers. DECEMBER FOOD REPORT There was less ground tor con demning and destroying food stuffs by t..s city food inspectors during December, than in any other month of 1921, according to the report of George V. Denton, city food inspector. Food condemned during the month included eighty-seven pounds of beef: twenty-seven pounds of hog and beef liver; thirty-eight pounds of ham burger; eighteen pounds of mutton; forty-two pounds of halibut; twelve pounds of sausage; fifteen quarts of milk; 123 cans of canned goods: six teen pounds of crackers: one-half gal lon oysters; twenty-two pounds of mixed candy; forty-five packages of cereals, and thirty-five pounds of frankfurters. There were eighty-one cups, fifteen plates, thirty-two glasses, twenty-one pie plates, and forty-six saucers, smashed because they were cracked 'and had become havens for germs. There were seven" prosecutions of deliberate law violations, during the year. In most cases, however, where deliberate violations were not intend ed, the offenders were simply instruct ed to conform to the standards of the health department. Two Topeka eating houses received gold stars during December, from the food inspection department. They were the Warren Ml Crosby tea room, with a score of 98. and the Chester field cafe, with a score of 9-7.

Refused ToQuit When Offered His Present Salary. HAS SERVED TWENTY YEARS Altho Greatlj Handicapped He Wants To Continue Work. Sight of One Eye Is Lost Other Is Impaired. BY LILLIAN HUGHES. Altho 76 years old. the sigh't of one eye lost and "the other impaired, and offered an opportunity to retire at his present salary for the remainder of his life, Daniel Moses Fisk. D. D pro fessor of sociology in Washburn col lege, does not intend to quit after twenty years of tirelesfs work in his department. Dr. D. W. Fisk. Students wlio had learned to humor the elderly man and to call him "Daddy" Fisk realized only this fall that this fatherly professor had not seen out of one eye for a number of years and was fast losing the s!ght of th other. Few knew that last spring upon the motion of P. V. Worrier, president of Washburn college, the trustees voted to give Dr. Fisk his present salary of $2,000 a year for the remainder of his life if he wished to retire. This was done in recognition of the high standard of the depart ment of sociology which he had devel oped, the excellent library he has col lected for the college, and his worth and eminence as a sociologist. It is not too much to presume that under such conditions an ordinary man would withdraw from his active work and enjoy, an old age of leisure. To Continue at His Work. Altho handicapped Doctor Fisk had no thought except to contlnua his duties as dean of the department of Bible and social service at Washburn. During the Christmas vacation he had a cataract removed from one eye. In spite of the operation he met his classes at the end of the vacation. He seldom misses a chapel service. Washburn students admire "Daddy" Fisk and wonder why he continues with his work. "I live for my classes" is Dr. Fi3k's answer. After all it is not hard to see why Dr. Fisk would hesitate about giving up the work in which he has put his heart and mind for so many years, or that he should refuse to turn over to other hands his excellent library of sociology. Spent His Own Money. Dr. Fisk has spent thousands of dol lars of his own money on these books. He has himself written the text books he uses in his courses. He visits the library during the day and glances at the rows of his treasure. Then he lingers to speak in endearing terms to a "dear child' who is reading. Wouldn't "Daddy" Fisk miss his students if he should, leave the school, even tho he now knows them only by their voices? No Washburn student considers his college work complete unless he has been in one of "Daddy" Fisk's sociol ogy classes, notwithstanding the fact that sociology is not a required course, as Dr. Fisk believes it should be.

The first drastic step toward stamping out professionalism in col leges of American has been taken. The action of Purdue university, in discharging J"Lone Star" Dietz, head coach, after evidence was produced that he had offered players money to play for Purdue, is purely indicative of a vast reaching change in collegi ate athletic conditions. Prof. Leslie J. Ayers, chairman ot the faculty athletic committee of the University of Washington, and repre sentative of the N. C. A. A., flatly ac cused Dietz of offering $100 a montn to eight high school stars in Seattle, providing they would come to Purdue and play football. Furthermore Ay-ers had conclusive proof. As a result. Diets is out of a 4ob. He probably will be out of a job for pome time, at least on the coaching staff of an American college. The action taken by Purdue faculty members in firing Dietz is heralded by coaches and players everywhere as a telling blow to professionalism. Dietz isn't the only coach making inducements of that kind to players for a school. He just didn't know his "stuff." Dietz was caught. Others will be later but it will take time. Of course, some college authorities give subtle and veiled sanction to thH "hiring" of athletes. The" schools of that type will be hard to deal with. But professionalism is doomed. Years will elapse before it is gone-7 but it's going, surely but slowly. Fielding H. Yost, of Michigan, fa miliarly known as "Hurrp Up" Yost, flayed professionalism in an address before the Miotiigan alumni club at New York Friday night. rvow, Yostsn t any scrub athlete. He's been in the game about twenty- five years, and has held his job as head coach at Michigan for twenty years. In hts talk Yost elaborated upon the moral influences exercised by pay ing players for their services; He mode one good speech, as it is re ported over the wire. Professionalism, Yost said, tends to rob the player of the love of the game for its own sake; making him mer cenary, a man who markets and sells a prowess that should be used merely for the satisfaction to himself, n-nd the good, to h's school. School spirit goes with professionalism also, Yost maintains.. He doesn't like inter-sectional games either. It seems Yost and President Lawrence Lowell of Har vard have gotten together on the in- ter-sectionai games proposition. In his talk Yost agreed heartily with Lowell, in the theory that education was the prime motive for a college student, and that sport was a fine thing, as logn as it was subordinated to acadeSnic work. Interaectional games, said Yost, are detrimental- to the study attitude of a student. When men like Fielding H. Yost slam-bast professionalism over the jot tho tSme it coming when their wishes shall be laws. When as good a coach as "Lone Star" Dietz is in the actual playing of football, receives his walking pa pers from a school like Purdue the profcssionalistic coaches better watch. their seep. Topeka high school, leading the Northeast Kansas Basketball league, with three games won, and none lost, enters its game with Rosedale tonight handicapped by the loss of Wilson and Edmlnston.

The chief objection of tha association was that tournaments, in the belief of members, placed too great a strain upon the physical powers of the girls participating.

Given her proper opportunity es a reckless, devil-may-care, vivacious flapper, eager to seize life as a daz zling adventure bubblingly intent upon extracting: the quintessence of .excitement from jr.- yet tenderly ap 'preciaiive of real human values,- and Viola Dana romps thru the part with a joyous abandon that brooks of no rivalry. She adds just the right touch of sentiment that carries .with it a lit tle heart tug, but she is inever senti mental, never sugary. There is too much tingling fraiety in her personal ity for that. r -Js'ot often does slie have a role that gives her such a dazzling opportunity as she finds in her newest picture. "The Fourteenth Iover." It would seem that Alice t. G. Miller had written the glory with the idea of ex ploiting Mirs Dana's charms to the ful est. The story is a merry, bright and clean concoction, adapted for the screen in a swift-moving play. Miss Dana appepf.i as a wealthy girl with thirteen wealthy suitors. Hgr "fourteenth lover" is the family gar dener, a young college boy, and their romance affuids great suspensful pleasure. Being the prize liar of a village is not so r-ufy as it sounds.

A number of Broadway favorites are included in the cast, due to show here under the management of Joseph M. Gaites. Among the stars to be seen are Alice Hills, Marjorie Sweet, Ar iine and Helen Gardner, John Hen nings and Charles Meakins. The largest and best looking as well as the best dressed chorus on the road this season, is the claim made for the aggregation with "Take It From Me In these days of high traveling ex penses, that meansv something. It means that the show has been playing to big business or it would not be pos sible for the show to reach as far west as Topeka. For the first two days of the coming week and starting with the matinee Monday afternoon, the feature pic ture to be shown at the Grand wrill he "The Swamp, starring Sessue Haya kawa, the popular Japanese actor.

This is his first pic ture production effort and as a dra matic effort is getting high praise from the eastern critics. Another of the Major Jack Allen nature series is to be shown with "The Swamp," this one being "Roping Black Panthers." One of those comical Sarg Almanac cartoons will laJso be shown. Following tho engagement of "Taka It From Me," Wedensday afternoon and night, will come the comedy drama "A Kiss In Time." with Wanda Hawley as the star. This is one of the very latest pictures by this popu lar star and her admirers will have no cause for regret when they have seen it. -"With the feature will be shown one of those artistic "Bruce Barton scenics, that have been causing so much comment in Topeka.

In its place for the first three days of the week, will be shown, "Circus Heroes", of which no further description than the title is needed. The vaudeville section of the bill for the first half of the week will be started by Gardner and Aubrey, two really celebrated musicians, who are in vaudeville this year for the first time, after several seasons on the con cert stage. They are followed by Flaherty and Stoning in a specially written skit called "Vaudeville Tit Bits". Ted McLean and company-present another of those amusing comedy one-act playlets, followed by Harry Pearce and Ernie Dunn in a skit en titled "Your Little Wife"- The Lutes brothers have an act filled with fea tures, one of which is the marvelous demonstration of trained feet given by Clare. Bill, his brother finishes the act with something out of the ordinary in target shooting. For the second half of the week the program will start off with the fifth chapter of "The Secret Four", to be followed by Cooke and Valdaro who bill themselves as eccentrics and offer a bit of everything done in out-of-the-way manner.

Frank Mayo, who has given the screen some of -the most thrilling man-to-man fights of recent years, goes himself one better in "The Shark Master.'

Returns to America After Nine Years i T Exiled From His Own Country Rach maninoff Enjoys an Vn usual Inter national Fame as a Pianist. An exile from his own country under the hardships of war and revolution, Sergei Rachmaninoff, the noted Rus sian pianist, composer and conductor, has returned to America after nine years. of absence. Again he will make a short tour of a few cities. Tho re cent events in R.ussia have not dealt kindly with him, Rachmaninoff comes back to America in the prime of his years, in the full maturity and exer cise of his powers, and at the height of his reputation. Hardly another Russian musician is so many-sided or enjoys such international fame. As pianist, and as composer of mu sic for the piano, Rachmaninoff will primarily address himself to the American public. For years in Rus sia, 'in other countries in Europe, and in America in 1909, he has given proof of remarkable technical powers, true virtuos-o instinct for the piano. A master of the keyboard, he has shown no less signal ability as an interpreta tive arttet, playing with rare insight and imagination, eloquence and poetry. In particular these notable qualities shine thru his own music, which will make a part of his program. It will range from the preludes and other short, fanciful pieces, which every amateur knows, thru exacting works of large dimensions in which he arrays all his pianistic powers. Seldom is a composer of high rank so fortunate to be able like Rachmaninoff, to-set forth as pianist his own music in his own way. Ke appears here at the high school auditorium Monday evening. January 23, under the management of Ralph S. Holland. i CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY Amateur Crit:cs Off.-red S1.000 for Reviews of R-C Pictures.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1922 Railroad News of Week 'CHAS. TO AVERT WRECKS Itoads Are Ordered to I a stall Train Control Devices. Santa Fe, From Chicago to Newton, Is Included. The interstate commerce commijs aion has issued a sweeping order -directing- forty-nine railroads to erjuip congested sections oC their main lines with automatic train control devices to be operated in conection with all road engines. The carriers are allowed until March IS tn show ranw whv the order should not become effective. It is specified that under the transportation act the Installation must be completed by July 1, 1024. Tn directing the roads to make the Jnstallations, which will entail consid erable expense, the commission states that investigation by a special train control committee has demonstrated that the devices are practicable. It contends that many wrecks would have been averted had automatic train control been installed. Figures are presented to show the heavy' cost to railroads caused by wrecks. One statement is that the wreck or the Philadelphia Reading railroad, a few miles from Philadel phia, in December, in which twenty three persona were killed, would not toave occurred if there had been ade quate control devices. Passed Experimental Stase." "Our investigations have shewn that automatic train control has long since passed the experimental stage," the commission reports. "In fact, no gaie ty devices such as the automatic coupler devices, the airbrake and the automatic blocTt signal were perfected to as high a degree as the automatic .train control before they were ordered installed or were voluntarily adopted. "The fourteen years of investigation and study, the service tests under varying conditions, and the results ob tained in the actual employment of these devices over periods of years upon some of the roads have clearly demonstrated the practicability of, and the necessity for, automatic train stop or train control. The time has arrived when the carriers should be required to select and install such de vice as will meet our specifications and requirements." Santa Fe Is Affected. Some of the carriers directed to Tinake the installations are: The Santa Ke, between Chicago and Newton, Kan.; Baltimore Ohio, between Baltimore -find Pittsburg; Chicago Alton, between Chicago and Spring field; Chicago Northwestern, be tween Chicago and Omaha; the Bur lington, between Chicago and Omaha: Hock Island, between Chicago and Hock Island, 111-; Kansas City South ern, between Kansas City and Tex arkana, Tex. .Missouri Pacific, be tween Kansas City and St. Louis; Pennsylvania system, between Phila delphia and Pittsburgh; Frisco, be tween St. J.,ouis and Springfield, Mo.; Union Pacific, between Omaha and Cheyenne, Wyo. The carriers are ordered to file with the commission on or before July 1, 19 23, complete plans for signal sys tems in use on designated portions of lines and a report of the number and type of locomotives assigned to or en gaged in road service. The carriers are directed to proceed without nec essary delay to select and install the devices specified and to report to the commission every three months, be ginning July 1, 1922, the progress made. NEW U. P. MAGJjZlNE OUT Building of tlic Komi Is the Keynote of First Number. Tho initial number of the Union Pa cific Magazine, the first publication for the 50,000- active and retired em ployes of th; Union Pacific system, appeared this week. The magazine, a monthly, contains 64 pages and two color cover illustrating'a pitched bat lie between Indians and railroad con struction forces. Tho keynote of the number is the building of the Union Pacific, which is described in articles by Charles J. lane, general freight agent, and N. H. IjOomis, general solicitor. W. II. 1'ettibone, agent at Redlaids, Ca!.. tflla of giving A. L.. Mohler, president of the Union Pacific railroad until a lew yeaKs apo, his first job. F. M. M. lUchardson, international secretary, Y. Il. C A., describes the pioneer work of Robert 'Weidensall, of Omaha, who established associations in construc tion camps at Fremont and Cheyenne in 1868. The January number contains greetings from the officers. President dray says: "Our most valuable asset is the Union Pacific spirit. To an unusual extent the men who make up the Union Pacific family are proud of the railroad, its splendid traditions and accomplishments. Stretching from "ouncil Bluffs, Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas City on the east to Los An geles, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane on the west, we have a great railroad serving a great empire. Op crating in such a far flung territory, it is impossible to gather the employes together at one time under one roof our work of serving the public beins carried on day and night on trains, and in shops, stations and offices. But tho a physical gathering together Is impossible, we can meet in the pages of the magazine." Th magazine is published in Omaha. The editor is Howard Elliott, formerly inspector of transportation of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake unit of the system, and later editor-in-chief of the New York Traffic Club Bul letin. Associate editors at branch of fices are E. L. W hite, Omaha; A V. Peterson; Salt Lake; Charles K. Mil ler, Los Angeles, and John Scott Mills, Portland. s IUGE EMPLOYES TO SAVE. January Is Being Observed as "Thrift Month" by Rock Island. The month of January is being ob served among employes of the Rock Island railroad as "Thrift Month," at the instance of the Rock Island maga zine, which the first of the month is sued a special "Thrift Number," con taining articles by prominent bankers, I'nited States treasury officials, and ifflcers and employes of the Rock Island company. Special "Thrift Month" posters have been posted Jn all the "shops, round houses and offices of the entire Rock island system, urging employes to "Rave today and you will have some thing tomorrow." V. LANE The Union Pacific Family league has issued invitations for its third an nual ball to be held at Kansas City. February S. Several of the company's employes at Topeka are making plans to attend. Only 824 miles of road in the United States and Canada were equipped with block signals during the past year: 174.9 miles in the two countries are under construction at the present time and 613.6 miles are known to be proposed for 1923. Franklin H. Snyder, who was con nected with the early construction of the Union Pacific railroad thru Ne braska, died recently at his home in Parsons, Kan. Snyder was station tgent for the Union Pacific at Chey enne, W:o., in 1868. Railroad expenditures for materials and supplies should be much lower during the coming year than in the past two years, George M. Shriver. vice president of the Baltimore Ohio railroad, testified this week at the interstate commerce commission investigation into the level of trans portation rates. The Union Pacific, in -conjunction with the United States department of agriculture and the state of Utah, wilfr soon commence the construction of a large viaduct" over its tracks and the Weber river at Riverside (Ogden), Utah, at an estimated cost of $200,000. The cost of the work will be divided among the three parties. Railroad safety departments are calling attention to the statement made by Barney Oldfield that never In a road race or on any occasion did he cross a railroad "at speed or with his car in direct drive; he has always slowed down and shifted to second before crossing. He slows down to look and listen and crosses in second to eliminate the chance of a stalled motor. Edward F. Carry, president of the Haskell-Barker Car company, recently purchased by the Pullman company, has been elected president! of the com bined concern. The new organization makes the Pullman company, officials say, the largest manufacturers of pas senger and freight cars in the world. J. S. Runnels, retiring president of the Pullman company, becomes chairman of the board. The Trinity Brazos Valley rail road, which is owned jointly by the Colorado Southern and the Rock Island, has asked the Texas railroad commission for permission to drill six oil wells upon its right of way in the Mexia field, the first application of its kind that ever came before, the com mission. Tho question involved is whether 0 not under its charter the railroad company can legally engage in the oil business. The! government this week, approved a loan of 125,000,000 for five years at 6 'per cent to the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad company, to re fund a J25,340,000 note held by the government, maturing March 1, 1922. The railroad company obtained the original loan from the government to pay off the Chicago Pacific Division bond3 amounting to that sum which matured January 1, 1921. v Announcement was made this week of the purchase of 1,000 new packing trunks by the American RailwaVfix press company. Packing trunks are really an important feature of the ex press company's service. They pro tect packages from heavier shipments, reduce the amount of handling and consequently the chance of damage, afford protection against theft, and can be used on the same principle as sealed cars when there are a number of packages going to one point. during a two weeks" campaign by the Rock Island along 16 mijes of its lines in Missouri, demonstrations wer4 held by representatives of that road to promote purebred stock, bet ter poultry a,nd fruit raising. The Missouri campaign followed like cam paigns in eastern Colorado and Okla homa. In all of these territories the representatives held meetings in which local merchants joined "with the farm ers, the state boards of agriculture and the railroad to make the cam paign a success. In many cases the representatives visited the farms to hold their demonstrations. Announcement was made this weeli by Isaiah Hale, safety superintendent Of the Santa Fe. that F. A. Hobble has been appointed safety supervisor with headquarters at Topeka. The railroad labor board has denied the application of I. H. Greenleaf and "W. B. Strawn for reinstatement by the Katy at Parsons, Kan. These two. men published a monthly paper, "The Monthly Disturbance," and when the company learned of the publication, the men were discharged. The board held that the contents of the paper were conducive of destroying any spirit of co-operation which may have existed between the employes and the carriers, thus violating decision No. A BOOST FORPRATT. KAN. Eishty-Five per Cent or R. I. Em ployes There Own Homos. In the current 'Thrift Number" of the Rqck IaJand Magazine, 3. S. Ir win, trainmaster on the southwest Kansas division, states that 85 per cent of the married Rock Island em ployes at Pratt, Kan., who have been with the company one year or longer, are home owners I Of thirteen passenger conductors, mmeen own tneir homes. Of the thirty-nine freight conduc tors, thirty-one own homes. Of the seventy engineers, aixty-one own their own homes. Of twenty firemen, fourteen are hpme owners. Also six out of nine dispatchers, and six out of nine switchmen, own their homes. A good percentage of -other railroad men at Pratt are home owners. A trainmaster, a chief dispatcher, two roadmasters, two section foremen, two yardmasters. the agent, several clerks, machinists and boUermakers all own their homes. "The high percentage of railroad men at Pratt who are home owners, is unusual," says Irwin, "but there is a reason for it. On very few divisions of any railroad in the west or south west ar working conditions more favorableand silvsnnomnnl r, m n id than at Pratt.' SAFETY PLUM FG3 CHILDREN Campaign to Have School Busses Stop 11c fore Crossing Tracks. An effort is being made to have all states adopt a plan tried with great success in California that would pre vent injury and death to children who ride to and from school in automobile busses and have occasion to pass over a railroad track. In many communities busses are provided to pick the children up at designated points and take them to school. In view of the many accidents that are occurring at railroad grade crossings, it is felt that unusual pre cautions should be taken to prevent injury to.the children. The state fed eral commission, of California recently issued the following general order, which went into effect immediately: It is hereby ordered that all trans portation companies as defined in Sec tion 1, paragraph C of Chapter 213, statutes of 1917 and amendments thereto, be and they are hereby re quired to stop each and every stage engaged in the transportation of pas sengers before crossing the tracks of any steam c electric interurban rail road, such: stop to be made not less than fifty (50) feet nor more than seventy-five (75) feef from the nearest rail of the railroad over which the highway crosses. After making the stop hereby required, the driver or op erator of the stage shall carefully look in each direction for approaching cars or trains and shall not start his stage until it has been ascertained that there are no cars or trains ap proaching the crossing in either direc tion. "The foregoing rule shall not apply in connection with the operation of passenger stages within municipalities as regards operation over the tracks of electric or other street railroads." The state superintendent of educa tion of California went a step farther. He recommended- that all school boards and principals of. schools pro mulgate an order that, when the busses stopped as required by the gen eral order of the state railroad com mission, the teacher accompanying the pupils, or one of the pupils themselves, should go to the crossing and make sure that no train was approaching and then signal the bus or stage to proceed. At a meeing of the Committee of Prevention of Grade Crossing Acci dents, Safety Section, American Rail way association, a few days ago in Chicago, J. T. Broderick, chairman of the committee, and superintendent of the safety department of the Balti more Ohio railroad, was delegated to get in touch with all railroad and public utility commissions in the coun try, with school authorities and others in an endeavor to have similar orders adopted in all states. The railroad authorities are most anxious to pre vent injury to the young folks on their way to scho'ol, and feel that extreme caution on the part of drivers of auto mobiles will be a sure preventive. Isaiah Hale safety superintendent of the Santa Fe, is a member of the Safety Section of the American Rail way association, and was present at the Chicago meeting when this matter was discussed. He believes there will be a ready response to the communi cations which Broderick has sent to railroad and public utility commis sions, to the United States director of education and others. TRAIN STUDENTS AT HAYS State Normal Has Telegraph and Sta tion Training Course. The Fort Hays;- Kansas, Normal school, a state teachers' college, lo cated at Hays.'Kansas, on the Kansas division of the Union Pacific, has started an innovation in the college world, says the first number of the New Union Pacific Magazine. In addition to their already com plete college eourse which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Siience In Education, they are now offering a course which gives complete telegraph and station training. The equipment, which consists of the latest type of telegraphy apparatus, tables and other fixtures, is complete in every detail. It was installed at a cost of J5.000. Students for a nominal fee may en roll for the special telegraph and sta tion training course and usually com plete the work in about six months. The college is properly equipped for taking care of about sixty students at a time in tnis orancn or stuay. As fast as the students graduate, they are placed as station helpers or stu dent operators on the Union Pacific and in a short time are ready to take the wire test and rules examination for full-fledged operators. This branch of training was In stalled at the college at the request of the Union Pacific and they use Union Pacific books of rules, time tables, tariffs and station forms in the training school. The students are taking a great deal or Interest in this course Jtnd it is thought it will be but a short tims until this college will be able to furnish, the Union Pa cific with sufficient helpers to fiil all of its requirements. NEW BAGGAGEMAN MARCH 1 Western Roads to Install New Method of Learning Valued. Under an arrangement similar to that which has been in effect on east ern railroads for several years, car riers affiliated with the Western Pas senger association, after careful study and after obtaining legislative sanc tion, have decided to install a method of obtaining declaration of value on all baggage checked effective March 1. A charge will be made of 10 cents for each $100 over the free limit al lowance, and the charge will be ac counted for generally by the use of adhesive stamps which will be placed on the backs of duplicate baggage checks issued to the passenger after necessary declaration has been made on a regular blank. Placards are to be posted immedi ately in all railroad stations on west ern lines promulgating the effective date so that the traveling public will become thoroly acquainted with the project, according to O. A Roedel), secretary of the' Western Association of General Baggage Agents. KATY PLANS BIG IMPROVEMENTS Will Spend $3,000,000 at Dennison, Texas, This year. The Katy announces that, definite plans have been agreed upon for the improvements which it will make this year at Dennison, Texas. The work involves the acquiring of 400 acres of land; the laying of fifty-seven miles of track: the construction of culverts aggregating 8,000 cubic yards; 800,000 cubic yards of grading; a 22-stall roundhouse and shop; a power house, a storehouse and other locomotive and car facilities, the entire cost of which is estimated at $3,000,000. The neces sary land has been purchased, a con tractor the grading and culverts has been let, and bids or the buildings and other structures will -be received in the spring ROADS IXJSE IN Mil. HA UK. More Bolus Abandiwed Than Built, Official Reports Show. Records compiled by the interstate commerce commission indicate that more miles of railroad are being aban doned in the United States than are being built. The commission, during the year ended October .81. 1921. au thorized 405 miles of new construc tion, and 702 miles of abandonment. The Union Pacific e&nstructed 43.4 miles of track during that period, while the Santa Fe abandoned 25.75 miles. The Santa Fe's abandoned track vas in three different sections, most ot it being industrial track, that was no longer needed. TRUCKS ANWTD ROADS Settle Problems of the Short Haul, Says New York Official. The Erie railroad plan of transport ing freight between New Jersey and New York by motor truck will spread into general use at the large terminals of the country, in the opinion of A. J. Brosseau, secretary and director Na tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce, speaking at the shippers" con ference of Greater New York. Eight railroads leading into Cincin nati, Mr. Brosseau pointed out, have been using a joint motor truck system for the local trans-shipment of goods, cutting the cost of handling nearly one-half. rs Angeles, Buffalo, St. Paul, Rochester, and other cities have also made a start in the use of motor truck terminals. Tho serviceability and economy of the motor truck in short haul work of forty to fifty mile radius is recog nized by many leading railroad au thorities. The trucks can relieve the rail lines of the expensive handling of less-than-carload lots. The New York Central railroad is using a nine-compartment express car, having a container with a capacity of 6,000 pounds, which may be carried by motor truck direct to the con signee. Mr. Brosseau quoted several rail road leaders indicating the trend of the attitude of the rail lines toward motor truck usefulness. Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania system, has said: "To the extent which motor vehicles are likely to take over the short haul freight traf fic the railroads will probably be im mediately benefited financially." Gerrit Fort, vice president of the Boston' A Maine railroad, has also in dicated tho value and place of the truck by saying: "The motor truck has come to stay. It represents an economio change in transportation conditions which is little short of revolutionary. There is -no tise in fighting the motor truck. Within their own field the trucks are un beatable." "The motor truck has become an ally," said Mr. Brosseau, "rather than a competitor of the railroads, making possible" tho permanent and Intensive development of the long haul, which is the logical and probitable field of railroad operation." GIVE OUT SERVICE BUTTONS Employes on Rock Island Pension List Get Gold Emblems. The Rock Island pension board has announced that each employe, now on pension, is to be given a gold "Service Button," containing stars to designate the number of year he has served the Rock Island prior to being retired. Distribution of the buttons has already been made. The list of pensioned employes liv ing in Kansas, to whom service em blems have been awarded follows: Ten stars, 46 to 50 years' service E. P.

Packing Plant on Union Pacific The construction of the first unit of a modern, up-to-date lemon packing house has been commenced on the line of the Union Pacific at Riverside, Calif., by the Monte, Vista Citrus as sociation. This unit will be 80 by 100 feet in size, constructed of orifloed concrete over a deep basement to be used for the proper curing of lemons before shipping over this railroad. It is planned to add a second unit later. Santa Fa Attorney Is Dead. In the death of Seward I. Field, at Medicine Lodge, this week, the Santa Fe lost one of its best local attornevs in Kansas, is the tribute paid the dead attorney by Judge W. R. Smith, Kan sas solicitor for the company. Field was well known all over the state and visitea in Topeka a few weeks ago; SEND FREIGHT CABS "HOME" Campaign for Observance of Car Serv ice Rules In Topeka. In line with a campaign which has been givine execellent results in the east, the four local railroads, the Rock Island, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacifie and the Santa Fe, have inaugurated plans for the better observance of the car service rules in Topeka. The campaign was outlined at a meeting of railroad officials early this month, at which the local car service situation was carefully analyzed, and is now In charge of the Topeka Freight Agents association, consisting of A. Lusk, of the Rock Island; C. L. Sleeper, of the Union Pacific; F. E. Nippg, of the Missouri Pacific, and George Sorensen, of the Santa Fe. The direct purpose of the campaign is to obtain the co-operation of ship pers in the loading of ears sJ that foreign cars will be headed toward their own lines as much as possible, and conferences with the Topeka ship pers are being held as fast as they can be conveniently arranged by the above committee of local agents. Shippers whose records show they are not observing or complying with the ear service rules are presented with a copy of the rules, and the com mittee endeavors to solicit their co operation -and assistance in the proper handling of cars, explaining to them the benefits to be gained jointly in the proper observance of the rules. As a whole the -local shippers are showing a willingness to assist in the movement. While it is admitted that the car riers are the first to receive a benefit, yet the results of the campaign will be mutual on the theory that any extra expenditures made by the railroad companies in moving empty cars, or time lost in furnishing cars, is event ually born by the shipper and the public in the regular freight charges. In hauling an empty car to get it back on its home line, the railroads make v charge of five cents per mile with a minimum charge of $5 per car which amount can be saved by having the car loaded and routed in that di rection. In that case the transaction would result in a profit instead of a loss, to say nothing of the time saved. Even the charge of five cents per mile aoes not cover tne actual cost or mov ing an empty car, representatives of tne railroads say. The campaign is directed toward concerns shipping in carload lots only and to the carriers themselves in the handling and routing of merchandise cars. Whenever possible, foreign cars are to. be used where shipments are to leave the line of origin, and if the tear has its "home" in that direction so much the better. Union. Pacifio Appointments. R.

The front page of this paper is usually devoted to a writeup of some important art exhibit that is shortly to "be held in Wichita, and if the pictures in such exhibit are the works of artists of some important school, colony or asso ciation, an interesting history of the work and aims of such school, colony or association is also given. If the pictures in the exhibit are all the work of one man or woman, a biographical sketch of the person is given. Other pages of the publication are given over to articles and notes on art, both local and general. The Museum News is printed in large artistic type on a heavy paper of a ligh: brown tint. One of the exhibitions which will probably be brought here this winter by the Topeka Art Gujld.is the Taos exhibition. It comprises thirty can vasses painted by members of the colony of artists located at Taos, New Mexico. These artists, among whom may be mentined Victor Higgins, Bert Phil lips, Blumenschein, Ufer. and Har wood. are living at the Indian village of Taos in the mountains of -northern New Mexico, far removed from the dis tractions and artificialities of modern civilization. Here they are endeavor ing with much success, to create a dis tinctly American school of art. This artists' society has been in existence about twenty years. It was founded by two artists who journeyed into that remote land of brilliant color and distinctly, original Indian life and hecame captivated Dy its novel Deauty. (The association has steadily grown until it is now quite a pretentious community. Below is quoted from the above mentioned Museum News a most in teresting account of a visit to Taos and its interesting artists' colony: "A Little Journey to Taos, the Mecca of American Artists." By Mrs. Will K. Jones. "Santa Fe still draws like a magnet and it is hard to let go, but time presses and everyone hears that in sistent murmur, 'You go to Taos, no body can afford to miss Taos,' .so once more making connections with the faithful Buick, we bowl out along a high glorious boulevard for fifteen miles past cedar, pinon, sage brush, Indian pueblos and Spanish villages; the adobe houses all festooned with red peppers, and the whole landscape and surrounding mountains drenched, flooded, saturated, that glorious Octo ber morning, with the sunlight that seems nowhere else to have quite that luminous shimmering quality that it has in the southwest. Even the shad ows are luminous and vibrant. "Ail at once a turn in the road and bumpcty bump kerchuck. Goodbye boulevard! Arroyos now, great gashes in nature that man has not repaired, interesting, but trying to back and nerves, to say nothing of axles and springs. "So quaint is the life that one sees in the sleepy old villages, so pic turesque the century old churches here and there, so mysterious the way side crosses gaunt and grim, that the mind's delight solaces the body's dis comfort. "Along the Rio Grande for many miles, a noble stream with splendid vistas, then up and up beside the Taos river we toil, a ticklish and lengthy climb, fock bestrewn, till at last oh the mesa with Taos a little farther on. "Will the artists be sociable? Whom shall we approach first? Just how do artists behave when, so to speak, in convocation assembled? "There's a tiny library at one cor ner of the town square, and it soon transpires that the librarian is a Kan sas woman, that she lives in Kit Car son's house, and that she is the clear ing house for information of the town and its celebrities. Incidentally she dispenses tea in the afternoon and you may be quite cozy while asking perti nent and impertinent questions. "Dear Mrs. Cheetham plays no fa vorites; all of the artists are excel lent painters; all are agreeable people. You will enjoy meeting all and they will welcome you cordially. However, pressed a little closely, she does admit that Mr. Bert Phillips or Mr. Blumen schein furnishes a natural starting, place, as both have lived in the town so long they feel the responsibilities of hosts to eager visitors. "Mr. Phillips is found delightful in himself, interesting, in his studio equipment and a joy in displaying his canvas. He was as sweet spirited as Mrs. Cheetham and wanted us to see everybody, and be sure not to miss 'Blumey.' "Ho was pleased to tell us how to reach various placesv but in a town where no street has a name, and where only one street, alley or lane is even passably straight, directing becomes a fine art, and following directions a most difficult one. The approved method is to take a stranger into the road (Sidewalks seemingly deemed un necessary as a part of a town's equip ment) then locate some object on the landscape and begin to point from that. "It usually takes five directions by actual count to reach- one destination. But where there always is a warm handclasp and a most hospitable wel come at home and studio, and the many charms within are so graciously displayed, one can afford a little more time along the road for pleasant an ticipations. "Whether It was Mr. Birnlnghams amid his flaming cosmos nodding In brilliant colorings above his head; Mr. Ufer, boyishly eager to share with you his delight in eleven just arrived baby Airedales, or Mr. Harwood lovingly displaying with a connoisseur's dis crimination his world-wide gathered treasurers, or Mr. Blumenschein sit ting beside a wonderful piece f Louis Quince' furniture, all were charming In their hospitality, all showed us pictures that we came to see, and all descanted instructively on their art, and made us feel we were with very real alive up to date people doing mighty vital brilliant work. "Not for a moment must we forget Victor Higgins and his charming wife (daughter of Sheldon Parsons) pilot ing us around with lamps and flash lights, from their home to the studio, and taking us thru the street's truly Stygian darkness, in their auto whose tonneau we shoved with several can vasses on which Mr. Higgins had been working up the canyon in the after noon. "We have seen Taos in all her pic turesque setting, we have revelled in her stately Indians and their unique costumes, have feasted on the purple lights of evening across her moun tains and have made the acquaintance of her artists colony. All strong links in the chainHhat will surely draw us back." The Gerritt A. Beneker collection of paintings which was scheduled to open Tuesday, January 17th at the city lib.-ary, did not open until Thurs day, January 19. The delay was in the shipment of the pictures to u peka, and was no fault of the Topeka' Art Guild which has the exhibition in charge. On Wednesday' evening, a. commit tee of the Art Guild assisted by mem bers of the city library staff and some interested friends, removed from the north wall of the city library reading Iroom the pictures that regularly be long there and hung the tteneKer pic ture in their stead. There are 27 pointings in the Beneker collection. The members of the Topeka Art Guild expected to see some fine works of art, but notwithstanding, they were surprisea ana aengntea at iiie won derful treat that the opening of the boxes disclosed. George M. Stone and other competent critics present, un hesitatingly pronounced the exhibit to be the best that has ever been of fered for the inspection of Topekans, and eqjal to anything they have be held in their long artistic- careers. As a general description of the paintings has already been given in the columns of The State Journal, also the nature of the subjects rep resented, it will be a tiresome re dundency to repeat it here. The daily hours of the exhibition have also been announced, namely, from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m. on every week day. The exhibition will also be open next Sunday afternoon and George M. Stone will give a talk on the paintings. Next Tuesday evening the library will be kept open after 9 p. m. and Mrs. L. D. Whittemore, director of the Washburn college fine arts depart ment will give a talk. Everything Is absolutely free to everybody and everybody is urged to come. Owing to the delay In receiving the exhibition the Art Guild will endeavor to get the time of its stay in Topeka extended beyond January 24, the previously announced closing date. An heroic statue indicative of the good will existing between the two re publics of the United States of Amer ica and the United States of Brazil is to be presented by the people of the former to the people of the latter next year, on the occasion of Brazil's celebrating the centennial of its in dependence from Portugal. The American colony in Brazil, the American Chamber of Commerce in New York city, and many prominent citizens of the United States have al ready subscribed to the memorial fund, and the Brazilian government has donated a site on the Avenida Presidente Wilson in Bio Janeiro. The site is said to be a most beautiful one overlooking the celebrated bay of Rio, Charles Keck of- New York is the designer and executor of the me morial. The design is that of a wom an typifying Amicitia (friendship), holding In her left hand the flags of the two, countries bound together with laurel and palm, while in her right hand she holds aloft the olive branch of peace. On her head is a liberty cap indicating that both countries are free. The pedestal is a pillar on one side of which stand George Washington and Abraham Lincoln with the seal of the United States above them, and on the other side are Jose Bonifacio and Baron Rio Branco, surmounted by the seal of Brazil. Three bas-reliefs are carved on the sub base. One shows the signing of the United States declaration of in dependence, another depicts Dom Pedro I declaring the independence of Brazil at the River Ypiranga, and a third symbolizes the everlasting friendship between the two countries. The name Amicitia is carved direct ly below the heroic female figure, and on the base is an inscription tell ing that the statue is a gift from the people of the United States to the people of Brazil.; t GOOD GRADES ARE SOMETHING Kansas Aggie Grads Wlio Scored High Are Successful Ones. Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 21. Students who make high grades in college, will as a rule, be successful in their life work, if a survey conducted by the Kansas State Agricultural college .is a true barometer. A list of 150 K. S. C. A. graduates was selected with the help of persons who know them. The list was divided into three groups: Those who have been highly successful, those who have made an average success,- and those who rank below the average. .The scholastic marks given to these 150 students were then gathered and tabulated. The result showed that among those now ranking as highly successful there were no failures made in college work. In the second list of fifty, there were seven failures, and in the third group, thirteen. KANSAS MUSIC PROFS. TO MEE Big Program Is Arranged for Con vention at Wichita Feb. 22-25.

It was a surprising Jolt lhafc the claim of M. C. "Willard, ef Topeka. against Sylvester Forrester, several times millionaire Kansas and Texas oil man,, received at the hands of a jury in the first division of the Shaw nee county district eourt late Friday afterhoo'n. Willard ha.d attempted to collect the sum of $103,540 from For rester, which he. claimed was due him in the way of commissions, but tho jury took a heavy rate of discount by returning a verdict in favor of the plaintiff lor $3,000, which, it is under stood, was tn the nature of a compro mise. The suit was based upon transac tions alleged; to have taken place in the PeabQdy oil field in the summer and fall of 1918, when that district was- booming following its discovery by Forrester the year before. In ad-ditiea-toi having interests in the field. Willard claimed to have been in the employ of Forrester in selling leases. He testified that during the summer of 1819 he, with his brother-in-law, H Q. West, formerly president of the Farmers' National bank, visited For rester Ih the latter'a office at Peabody and was promised by the oil king a payment of $20 per acre for selling v leases, but admitted no writter. can tract had been made to that affect. Later, Willard testified that he was instrumental in selling leases which at the above rate entitled him to com missions amounting to $103,540. It was brought in thru testimony later, however, that he made no claim for his commission until sixty or ninety days later and th.at he never had written Forrester a letter about it. West testified he had no interest in the matter, saying that he once made a trip to Wichita, at the request of Willard, to tell Forrester that he was not claiming an interest personally. The trial of the case opened Tues day morning after a jury had been impaneled the day before. The case went to the jury at 9 o'clock Friday morning, and the verdict was returned after eight hours' deliberation. The case was hotly contested and at one time the jury was sent from the room when attorneys for Forrester charged that West was coaching Willard, who was. on the stand.

SI. 1922. Sear Elizabeth: Most of the gossip which we have heard this week has to do with weddings. At one of the big Kansas weddings this week the Long-Stanley wedding at Wichita the matron of honor and the maid of honor instead of carrying bouquets, carried lovely big feather fans. At this same wedding everyone thought how lovely part of the arrangements were, as at the church, just before the bride and bridegroom reached the al tar, two little white gates of flowers were opened by the attendants for the passage of the bridal party.. Calla lilies, dozens and dozens of them, were used. They were tied to the lights, which were strung down the center aisle, where the bridal party entered the church, with bows of yellow tulle with long streamers. The wedding gifts were perfectly gorgeous, so they say, a complete silver tea service, a number of huge silver platters, plates, and all sorts and kinds of silver, stacks and stacks of it. Not long ago, Elizabeth, when writ ing the twenty-year-ago colm I ran across a feature story about our old governor's mansion here. In the story it told of the various members of Gov ernor Stanley's family. They were living in the house then, and about young Gene Stanley, as they called him. The story writer had remarked that there was not a stair rail in the house that the governor's young son had not slid down. Evidently he's still as active now as he was then, only in a different way. for they sy -he's a rising young lawyer. We had a wedding' of our own In Topeka this past week, a most beau tiful home wedding. Yesterday I heard several girls talking on the street car about the affair and one of them concluded. "Well, when I get married I want my wedding to be just like Betty Edson's it was perfectly WON-der-ful." Last week we had the queerest thins happen here. A Topeka girl was mar ried and her family did not wisn any thing in the paper about it, not even the announcement. Wasn't that strange? Nowadays there are four things that a wedding is not complete without, the ring, the bridegroom, the1 minister and the newspaper an nouncement. But this family would have none of it and even requested that if the bride came in and called on me herself that I fail to print any thing about the wedding, all of which has made this department mighty cur.ous. Tour news that the New Tork girls are wearing bleached monkey's fur to trim the edges of their underthings doesn't excite us out here in the Jeast. Come again next week with something more thrilling. I'BASCES. j Mrs. Harry Pribble, 1118 Topeka j boulevard, will entertain both Mrs. Homer Foltz's and Mrs. C. B.

Frederic J. IlaBkln, Director, Washing ton. 1. C. A new "nonpartisan" political party Is being formed in Kansas City. No political organization in the world is rnore intensely partisan than a non partisan one. Its members yield to the maority all personal political in dependence. A voter who is a Repub lican or a Democrat can voto occa sionally for a man on the opposing ticket or for several such and retain Ins party membership, but not so the nonpartisan. When he enters the new organization he leaves behind past po litical affiliations, forsaking all things for the stranger. Sdoner or later, of course, lie returns to one or the other of the old parties, usually to wander no more, forever. France in her relation to the aims and objects of the Washington con ference is conducting herself in a w ay that may lose her the respect and confidence of her friends. When she was in trouble almost the entire civ ilized world rallied to her support, thereby saving her from destruction. She should not forget this. She is in no danger from Germany or any other country. Uermany has no b:g guns, ammunition, air or sea craft. France's insistence on maintaining a big army and navy leads to a suspicion that they may be intended for attack in stead of for defnse.

John L. jirady of Palina has Issued tht following appeal: "Please send nie the names of farmers Interested in reducing taxes." Why does Mr. Brady confine his request to farmers? Is not everybody, regardless of occupa tion, "interested in reducing taxes?" A majority of the members of the Kansas house of representatives are farmers, yet the legislature in its last session increased taxes to a point hitherto unknown in the state. The effort being made to work up senti ment against high taxes seems wholly unnecessary. There is enough oppo sition to high taxes already in exist ence to elect to the governorship any risen who can win its support. ("Press reports indicate that the e Tnn'rtDf Kcini, cnont for lin- uor is about as great as ever it was, but fewer people are spending it. The Union Pacific railroad is re ported to have, ordered 4.500 new box cats, Including 1,000 tteel automobile cars, It is declared that the road will spend approximately $10,000,000 on "new equipment this year to care for thie "Inevitable, resumption of traffic." When leading railroad officials not only believe that the resumption of business is at hand, but are willing to spend millions in support of that be lief, it is pretty good evidence that their views are sound. Other roadshave followed the policies oMhe Union Pa cific, so that when the resumption comes transportation facilities should t adequate to handle it. Plans of Attorney GeneraJ Daugh erty, it is reported, are going rapidly forward toward the culmination of the drive against high prices. Con ferences between federal and state officials have been held in New Tork C'ty and will take place in. other states looking to prosecutions Uat will ba instituted against profiteers. If Is tho intention of Mr. Daugherty, it is rebortod, to have most of the actions brought under state laws, but with the full co-operation of .the federal authorities. Tho attorney general has conferred with Secretary of Com merce Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis, and they have decided to name a Joint commission of three to conduct a rational inquiry into costs. The in formation obtained will be the basis for such actions as may be instituted In' federal or state courts. There ts something familiar about this pro posed program. President Wilson's attorney general Indulged In the same sort of talk. Can anybody recall that any profiteer has been punished? But Mr. Daugherty lias prepared a. soft place to alight. His department will join with other departments of gov ernment In appointing joint com mittee of Investigation. No better I way to avoid doing- a thing has ever been found than the appointment of a committee of Investigation. If that committee ever file a report probably it will be avfter Mr. Daugherty is out of office. THE MATTER OP TAXES. The loud demand for a reduction in taxes now being heard should, in the opinion of some students of econom ics, include a demand for a revision of the tax laws already on the statute books. Nothing, they claim, could be more calculated to inspire confidence in the business outlook. The present inequalities in our statutes governing the levying and collection of revenues, it is held, are doing more to retard, business devel opment than anything else. When the Income tax returns are made on March 15 of this year, congress is likely to be greeted with a disagree able surprise in respect to the man ner in which reVenue has fallen off. Billions of dollars will have made their legal escape into tax exempt se curities, and the loss of profits result ing from. unjust taxation methods will add further emphasis to the depletion of governmental income. The funds that should be going into constructive enterprise are now being diverted into tax exempt bonds for public improvements that may or may not be needed. Municipal credit is no higher than before. In fact, it is not so good as it used to be because debts are mounting and taxation is becom ing more burdensome. However, in vestors are putting their money into this class of securities, not so much because they believe them to be tin impeachably sound, but thru the fear of losing income by investing In any thing else. I Another unfavorable reaction is rep-1 resented by the manner in which con structive enterprises are being starved. Funds that should be used for in creasing the instrumentalities of pro duction and improving the, means of j distribution are being diverted into tax exempt municipals. The railroads need money, but it will not be forth coming readily until the investor re ceives more assurance not only against restrictive regulation, but also that taxation will not reduce his re turn to a point that he is not justified in assuming the risk. Worse even than excessive taxation Is unequal and unjust taxation. There is no more striking example of unjust taxation than the system of levying on the people's debts. The federal census shows that a large percentage of the homes and farms of Kansas are mortgaged. The owners of these properties are taxed on their full value. This system cannot be justi fied on the ground that the mortgages are. taxed first, because the mort gages as a rule do not pay taxes and second, because If they did double taxation would result. It is proposed to raise a million dol lar fund as a memorial to Woodrow Wilson and his administration. It seems unnecessary. The people will not soon forget Mr. Wilson or his ad ministration. They have too many reasons for remembering both, THE POWER OF FIGURES. What an amazing amount of infor- Lmation can be produced by a clever use of figurer! For instance, Donald WUhelm, a writer in Leslie's, takes up this year's proposed naval appro priation of $478,225,000 and proceeds as follows: All the money in circulation In the United States is only about twelve times that amount. The Panama canal the purchase of rights, construction costs, costs of for tifications, current costs of all kinds to July 1, 1920 amounted to $46! 841.045. All the teachers and Instructors In all our public schools earned an a gregate salary for the year ending June 30, ISIS, Of $431,084,254. The total receipts of all our univer sities. colleges and schools of tech nology, exclusive of additions to en dowments, amounted in 1917-18 to $137,055,415. The farm land in all of New Eng land in IS 10 was valued at $382,134, 424. The government's net investment in all irrigation projects to June 30, 1920, represented $120,855,703. The total cash expenditures for bet ter roads, by the government, states, all agencies, in 1919, is estimated St $389,453,832. All the gasoline tisad in the United States in the last year cost consumers less than $100,000,000. Alaska cost $7,200,000. With this half billion dollars In round figure we could do these things: f We could build seventy libraries like the Library of Congress; yes, ev ery year. We could give a raise of $713 to every one of the 700,000 school teachers in the United States. We could supply $1,000 to. 800,000 boys and girls who want to go to col lege. We could build 100,000 homes at $5,000 each. This is Just one of the many argu ments against maintenance of -a big n.vy and it applies to other countries as well as to the United States. Senator Underwood, who is a mem ber of the Washington conference, de clares that settlement of the Shantung problem must be left to China and Ja pan, the parties chiefly concerned. Regarding the outcome of such a set tlement one guess is sufficient. It would be Just another case of the lion and the lamb. China is making a great fight for justice in the only way that she Is able to fight, but ah Is receiv ing little or no active sympathy from the powers which are able to see that she gets it. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKTV, Director, Washington, D. C. OUR MEDIEVAL J.WLS. Washington, D. C, Jan. 18. "Out of 200 county jails recently visited, only 10 were fit for human occupa tion." This ia the report Just sent by Mrs. H. S. Mclntire, secretary of the Prisoners' Relief society, after a trip from this city to Seattle, in which she visited some 200 jails in order to ob serve conditions. Mrs. Mclntire found the-majority of the institutions dirty and unhealthy, and graft rampant. The prisoner who sends out for a quart of milk is apt to have to pay 25 cents, and the change goes to the Jailer or whoever does the errand. Vermin of all sorts are the rule, rather than the exception in county jails, we are told. Disin fectants, sanitary precautions in case of illness, clean kitchens are luxuries which seem to have no place in the average jail. In fact, the county Jail, as it is now conducted, is one of the worst evils in the country, according to Earl Dudding, head of the Prisoners Re lief society. "Very little is heard about bad Jail conditions," Dr. Dudding says, "be cause few attacks are made against the system or against Individual in stitutions. Inmates do not dare .to protest against unfair treatment. I know of a case in which a man who fell ill asked for a doctor. The re quest was refused. When he Insisted he was knocked unconscious and al lowed to lie on the floor all night with a wound in his head. So there are few protests from prisoners." Vou might think that the ex-prisoner would expose bad conditions. Doctor Dudding explains that the ex prisoner is a "Jailbird." His record is against him. He would have a hard time establishing a case against county officials. The few well-to-do men who infre quently get put into Jail do not make complaints because they do not as a rule see conditions at their worst. Money will do more in a Jail than in a penitentiary. The inmate can gen erally get luxuries if he can pay, and the man of means does pay. This privilege of spending money has been attacked as unfair to prison ers who cannot buy luxuries. Accord ing to Doctor Dudding, however, the poor men in a jail are glad to see a wealthy man come to Join them, be cause his coming means that they will benefit. Generosity blossoms out in such in stitutions, where there is much time for thought, and little things become unusually important. Newspapers, to bacco, fruit, and books bought by the affluent prisoner are passed around. One millionaire who was In a locaI Jail for three months awaiting trial for a large financial theft is said to have spent about $1,000 a day on Kim self and his neighbors during that time. This amount of spending is un usual, it is true. But the wealthy man in jail can dispose of mora money than most people would imagine. Money Helps. 1 If he has wealth and position a prisoners does not undergo the hard ships of ordinary Jail life. Even, if he did not spend much money, he would be made comfortable, since otherwise he would undoubtedly make trouble afterwards. The wealthy -man wno has served his Jail term somehow gen erally manages to keep his social status. He is still a power to be recog nized, tho he Is a jailbird. Then, too, such a man is most apt to be held in a city Jail, where as rule there is better management than in rural districts. City institutions are visited by many people, whereas a rural 1ail often is not. Doctor Dudding finds that people who go to inspect conditions do not. unless they are experienced, see the bad side of Jail management. If they write ahead to make an appointment. the officials are warned, and the place is cleaned up when they arrive. Officials pilot them over the buildings and point out the excellent order ana the cheerful prisoners. The visitors may be asked If they wish to talk with the inmates; but with a guard present, such a conver sation is not revealing. For a pris oner to complain of the food or to re mark that the table dishes had been washed that day for the first time in a week, could obviously result only in denial by the officials and hard treat ment for the unfortunate who protest ed. The prisoners know this, and they do not complam on such occasions. When Doctor Dudding pointed out conditions in one Jail In a nearby state Mitt awusduuiiK aiuuwu Lim county to aetiorfc A grand juryman cams 4o Washington to talk over the situation. Go out there to see for yourself," Dudding told him. "But when you go. insist on the officials staying out and letting you go in alone. The men will then tell you exactly what I have, and show you proof." Dirty bedding, dirty clothing, bad ventnatiam, rats, vermin, and poor iooa souna like medieval prison con ditions, but they are not the root evil. Doctor Dudding explains. A great part of Jail discomfort is attributed by him and by .others acquainted with the situation to the fe system. Tho Fee System. The fee system works this way: for every inmate in a jail the Jailer re ceives from the county treasurer a. sum for food and such clothing and nec essities as may -be called for. The amount given varies widely in differ ent states and counties. It may be said, roughly to average 50 cents a day per person. The jailer is gen erally paid a small salary, and if any thing can be saved out of the expenses of the prisoners he can pocket It. Thus, if he can feed- his boarders On beans, bacon, and potatoes for 12 cents a day and save more than 80 ceirts a head, he sometimes succumbs to the temptation of making this much profit, regardless of the health of the men who are dependent on him. This profit, whatever it is. the Jailer may divide with the sheriff who gave him his political appointment. Dr. Dudding says that when crime Is dull, and a jail is empty it is not an unknown practice for a sheriff to speak to special detectives on the rail roads about the hsrd times. If the de tectives are amenable to the sugges tion, tney will take extra trouble to hunt out all the hoboes they can find for a few days and send them to fill up the jail. Each boarder at the insti tution means, of course, 20 Cents a day, or wnatever can be saved out of the expense money, to the jailer. -oiitics, too, play a part in Jail ad ministration. The sheriff is elected. He appoints a county jailer, and as is always true where political appoint ments are made, sometimes a man is selected who is not known, for execu tive ability or honesty. So graft some times creeps In-. Personal belonsrines of rrlannRrL uch as watches, knives and, wallets, tare taken from them when they wear I jail clothing. We are told that in some places the jailer does not con sider it necessary to return these ar ticles when the man is released. One prisoner who was transferred to a penitentiary was refused $12. left in his pocket when he entered jail to await trial. The prisoner was help less. The superintendent of th pen itentiary learned of the Instance however, and wrote a letter which brought the $12 by return mail. So long as the fee system and poli tics are associated with our innumer able county jails, the situation cannot be much improved; Doctor Dudding believes. Here and there) where in vestigations are held or officials are honest and take personal interest in the welfare of their charges, there are jails which are "fit for human be ings to live in." The remedy, according to Doctor Dudding, is to make Jail officials civil service appointees. He thinks that if tbe federal government were to su pervise these institutions and inspect them rigorously once a month, condi tions would be bound to improve. The next best thing would be state control of the county institutions for prisoners. This would be easier to bring about than federal control. Doctor Dudding also thinks that by limiting Jail officials to fixed salaries, of reasonable size, and by having a strict system of accounts and super vision, our medieval Jails could be made considerably more up-to-date. Dorothy Dix Talks mr sononr net WerM-s Hit tit W.aasai Wrttar. Number Two 3. The difference between marrying a bachelor and a widower Is that the bachelor wipes off his slate before he is married, and his wife has no means of knowing who preceded her in his affections, whereas the wife of a widower has got a line on him. She knows the name of the woman he. loved, and therefore has a tangible subject on- whom to center her Jealousy. This being the case. It is, of course. unpardonable stupidity in a man to be continually singing his first wlfe'3 praises to his second wife. She would rather be flayed with scorpions than have him tell her how blessed he has been in getting two such good wives, or that she makes as good pies as his first wife used to make, or even that the reason that he fell in lova with her was because she reminded him so much of his sainted Maria. He thinks, poor boob, that he showing her what a faithful soul he has, and paying her a compliment, and it never occurs to him that she has to sit on her hands to keep from throwing the crockery at him. and chew her tongue half off to prevent ner rrom screaming at him that there isn't a woman alive, or dead, from Lucrezia Borgia down, that she wouldn't rather be like than his first wife,. Yet the women who so bitterly hato tnese poor, dead women should in all Justice entertain kindly feelings to wards them, for they owe them a never ending: debts of gratitude. They were the matrimonial pioneers who went before, and blazed an easy road for the second wives' feet. Widowers are proverbially who preferred risk in wetiiocK. They have been enlight ened, disciplined, broadened, humbled chastened, house broken, by their first wives, and the second wife profits by the labors of No. 1. On the first wife falls the burden not only of the struggle to help her nuaoana get on his feet financially, but the fight of teaching him that even a wile has some rights a hutt band has to respect. Therefore, oran tically every second wife has more money to spend, and la better treated than the first was, and for -this also No. i nas to tnank No. I. As to which wife a man loves best, that depends on the individual case. but nothing would do more to cast a romantic halo over his first wife than for tils second wife to be forever weei ing tears of jealousy over the departed iaay. Let the second wife comfort herself With this fact that it does not matter whom a husband loved in the oast. It's -the women he loves at present tnat counts, it's better to be the last love than the first 7 (Ccpyrigbt, lSr2o, by the Wheel Sysaicata Iae.i Questions Answers Q.

Those who, thru reading Mr. Tum ulty's book, reached the conclusion that Mr. Wilson was assistant presi dent were misled. The gentleman in .the advertising, Apollo tho he-is, is entirely human in one respect. He doesn't look any better in a wing collar than anybody else. And that, since one paragraph be gets another, starts us off on another speculation. The wing collar is a throw-back to the nineties. It was worn for a time by the neat and nifty dresser of that' period and then cast into the discard. Thru the offices of some miscreant It, is having a recru descence. v But no gent can wear a wing collar and at the same time main tain his aplomb. Yes, we wear 'em. But we feel like a, hunted fox every time we put one on. J. Franklin Baker has given up baseball again, this time to marry. We greatly admire Mr. Baker's facility at the, so to speak, national game, but his judgment seems faulty. It is dif ficult to understand a man who re nounces a perfectly good excuse for being away from home six months out of every year. Meanwhile the country surges with impatient souls looking in vain for a good excuse to stay downtown some evening next week. Not that we are one of them. Far from it. We can stay downtown any evening we please. But what is lib erty if one must fight for it? It is all right to talk about Mr. Hays's service to the motion picture industry, and to predict that he will make the "pictures" saner, sounder and of a higher educational value. But we shall always doubt that's what he was hired for. The "fillum" magnates already know the sort of "pictures" the pub lic wants. If you doubt it, attend the motion picture theaters. The Sensible Column. Time -flies. The obligation to write a sensible column twice a year, or oftener if occasion seems to demand it, presses upon us. And the moment is opportune. Herewith the last sensi ble column of the dying year. Some pother is being pothered con cerning the recently conducted experi ment of .George Henri Le Barr, noted French criminologist. M. Le Barr has Just completed a "stretch" of twenty months in French Jails, a self infiicted sentence entered upon for the purpose of studying crime and its causes. We have not been favored with a copy of M. Le Barn's conclusions, but we know exactly what he found out. He learned that crimes are committed by criminals and that criminals are recruited from the ranks of the in herently crooked, the inherently weak or from those who are both weak and crooked. M. Le Barr also learned if he car ried his conclusions to the ultimate deduction that a crook cannot be made straisht and that the weak can not be developed beyond their mental (imitations. And that's that. f It is a pleasure to record the fact that'wood alcohol killed only two per sons in the week Just closed. At mea ger casualty list calms a frightened country, if it does not entirely re assure it. It has pretty nearly reached the point at which a death from wood alcohol scares everybody to death. Tho congressman who believes the proceeds from the motion-picture rights to Woodrow Wilson should ac crue to tho government lives In Ohio. His name is Begg James T. Begg. A man can often achieve a reputation for wisdom and sound common sense by the simple device of keeping his mouth shut. See Rule 23 Below. Sir Perhaps we err in the number,, but we think Rule 47 applies in our case, vizi "Whatever is unimportant interests the column." But what we want to know Is this: Have others, as nave we been intrigued with the sub jects chosen by illustrators for the covers of our popular publications dated near January 1 and December SI? Next week we shall have a wealth of little red babies labeled "1922." And next December an 1 equal number of wrinkled and gray-whiskered old men bearing the same numeral. Why not have a younjr man grace the April covers, with his awkwardness: a tired business man those of June and an old sport those of autumn? The (tao from December to January is great. Do it interest. L. H. B. P. S. Now that we think of it. Rule 47 says: "Nothing new can be found; the columnist knows all." Yes, Its Rule 39 that applies to the above. It must be. Rule 23 reads: "The man who oan do a better column probablv is writ ing one. He would be." It is our no tion that the rule could be and should be extended to cover the work of il lustrators. George Matthew Adams Daily Talk TILE WINDS. As I write the wind is running about my windows and the room' in which I work. I stop to listen to what it has to say. It seems almost human to me. .Now it whistles. Now it roars. Now it Just whispers. I wonder about its beginning. Where did this wind come from where is it to end its run? The tallest tree tops yield to its power as tho wanting to go with it. Great buildings sway at its beck. Leaves are carried away in its arms. And mammoth seas are made angry thru its force. Then again, hoW gentle it often is. On some tropical coast, how soft is its every movement. 1 like to sit upon the bank of a stream at night time, when Summer is full of fragrance, and listen for hours and hours to the talk of the winds. How ladened with -voices the winds of the world are personalities let looee to become a part of the roving waves of the air. With what monotony we would walk out into the days were there no winds to wash about us. I like to get up into a tall building when the wind ia high in force and become fascinated with its power, con trasting it with the great latent power in the minds of people walking the streets far below. Some of our greatest thoughts are given us while we watch th silent forces of Nature. We ars reminded that silence is a wonderful asset to power. The wind does not tarry. Tt ia al ways passing. It is busy. It has a purpose. It leaves its benefits by the way. Who is not able to recall the de light occasioned by many a fresh wind? The poets say that God travels by way of the winds! THE NEW GENERATION By JANE PHELPS ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL. Chapter 126. If one were to Judge from the sound of laughter and gay talk that broke a long silence after Malcolm arrived, Hannah was right. Quarrels between such young things don't amount to much. She had answered th door, sent Malcolm in to Joan, then after half an hour took In her repast. Tears still glistened in Joan's eyes, but smiles chased each other thru the tears, while Malcolm bliss fully unashamed kept his arm about her. "Thank you, Hannan. you always know when to appear, iviaicoim earn, laughingly. I'm old enouRh to know some things!" Hannah sniffed, as sh hur ried from the room. "The old dear!" Malcolm said, then devoted himself to Joan, the cakes and lemonade. They had much to talk about after the making up wmen had been accomplished in that first half hour. a, "Now you must go, Malcolm. I don't want tyou here when mumsle comes. She'll be sure to think you have Influenced me, when you haven't one single bit," Joan said with aston ishing naivete. But their leave-taking wa sd ten der, their good nights so often repeat ed, that he had only been gone about five minutes when Margaret came iiv flushed and happy from an enjoyable evening. "Why, Joan!" she exclaimed, sur nrised to see her. "I just had to come back, mumsie. Get comfortable, then we'll talk." She said nothinc of Malcolm, but chatted with her mother while she donned a boudoir gown and slippers. "Now, mumsie, I hav been think ing" "Yes, Joan?" 'Perhaps, dear, you will be hap pier in your own home if we live very close." "Perhaps." "And of course if we should have children they might bother you, mumsie." "They might," Margaret began to suspect Hannah. "And anyway you might want to be boss, and I would too, and so we might not get along!" "That's so!" "So I have decided to marry Mal colm, and let you keep your own home." "You have how nice!" The sar casm was lost on Joan, who Just then was thinking of Malcolm and nothing else. Just then the telephone shrilled. Margaret answered it. "Yes, Craig I have news for you. Joan is going to marry Majcolm arid allow me to retain my own home, in stead of insisting I live with theml Yes, sha has changed her mind a woman's privilege, you know -yea what's that? oh, Cralgl What? Yes I will! You shan't say that to me. Yes, I'll marry you whenever you say. Yes, I'll tell her" and Marga ret turned to her daughter. "Joan, dear, Mr. Forrester wants to speak to you," Margaret said as one left the receiver on th table. "But mumsie! You said- "Central will disconnect if you wait to argue. See what he has to say, then we can talk." "Oh. very well!" Joan reluctantly picked up the receiver. Judging from her monosyllabic re plies, Forrester gave her no chance to talk. He evidently had a good deal to say to her. But Margaret, watching her face and the emotions that swept over it. could give a very air guess as to what he said. Finally, Jean aaid: "I can be as generous as anybody. You hold the wire. Mumsie will have a question to ask you In a minute. No you had better hang up, and come up. I'm here to chaperon you so no one will talk if it is late." "What in the world Margaret commonced. "No talking, mumsie! You heard me tell Craig Forrester to com up. didn t you? You 11 find out toon enough." Ten minutes later Joan let Forres ter in. "Well?" he looked -from Joan to Margaret, then back to Joan. "How soon can you two get ready "to be married? I have decided on a double wedding, and Malcolm is im patient?" "Tonight!" Forrester exclaimed, taking Joan and dancing her about the floor. "Next mf ith!" Marararet eald. flushing girlishly as Craig Forrester released Joan and bent over her. "Next month It is!" Joan declared. "And now, step-father, I'll glv you two Just ten minutes whil I write a note to Malcolm. You may post it for me on your way home." THE END. Monday.

(Copyright, 1922; by Edgar A. Gueit.) Evening Story Some One Some Day. BY A. -W. PEACH. Irma raced from the gate to the vine-clad porch where her invalid mother was busy with her knitting. "Mother, what do you think? yncle Ren did remember us. Here's a letter from his lawyers, saying that he left us $50,000 in cash, that th money had been forwarded to our local bank, and well now Her mother laughed at the long sigh that followed the "now." "Now, Dark Eyes, I suppose you will want to be doing missionary work with it." Ren never liked us, but I guess he thougM-l Detter or 111s family as he grew older. What are you going to do with it?" Irma looked at her mother's twin kling eyes. "Well, with this and what father left us, I guess we won't worry any mores and then and then mother dear, I'm aroint: to give Mrs. Jameson enough to have Bobby oper- ated on. and I'm going to buy that nome tor 01a Mr. and Mrs. Peebles, and "Gracious, child, get your breath! I hope you will do happy things with what we don't need, and our needs are not luxurious. We here comes Del Stewart!" Her mother added, looking up tne walk. Irma went to meet him, a little of tne happiness of her plan goinp; from her face. Stewart was a persistent lover almost to the point of being an noying; xbut he was regarded in the village as a good Catch for any girl, and the village had been unable to understand why Irma had not accept ed him. As a matter of fact, she had been on th verge of doing so, but al ways the realization that she did not love him as she wanted to love some on soma day held her back. She told him the good news, but he did not seem in any sense overjoyed by the information. She guessed the reason. Th son of th richest family in the village, he had made her realize what he could -do for her and' -her mother. In dark moment that thought naa tempted ner out only for mo ments. "I suppose that means you will stay an 01a maia all your life,'" h said bluntly. "There are worse things," she said quietly.- "Are you implying that being my wife might be worse?" he demanded. "Oh, Del, why be so suspicious and quick tempered? iNo, I did not mean tnat. as 1 nave' told you so many urne. j. uke you, but x don't love you, and there is a whole world of differ ence between the two." He left her in a huff shortly after, but her discomfort at his attitude was relieved by the thought of the good she could do with the money she and her mother did not actually need. She would make a few dreams come true. The next week sh proceeded to do so. Mr. Peebles, limping home from work, found the deed of his home waiting for him in his wife's trembling hands. Th old people wept softly in each other's arms, and then went slowly down th street together to the Raines cottage. The littl Jameson boy, his pale face alight with hope that he was going to be mad like other boys, went with his mother to the great city. Quietly, here and there, Irma made dreams come true; happy hearted, she planned for others and carried the plans thru. Then out of the clear eky came the word that left her almost fainting a letter from th western firm of law yers, telling her to cease drawing on th $60,000, that a later will had been discovered in which tho money had been left to Mr. Starr Kingston, a friend of her uncle: that a repre sentative would see her about the matter. She was at her wits' end. "What shall t do? What shall I do?" was th bitter question sh faced. She had spent th money for things that could not be returned. She might take the little money in her mother's name and that would mean poverty for them. In desperation she told Stewart. He smiled. "Marry me. Irma, and I'll take car of th whole thing," waa Ills solution. She looked at him with frightened eyes, and started to offer herself, for the gateway he mentioned seemed the only one. Just as his srreedv wer growing triumphant, th door- ueu rani ana ifflit nad to go. At th door sh found a. tall pIma. cut figure, and looked up into gray iivmi eyes, rsne guessed who he was. "You're from Stetson Stet son?" she asked fearfully. He nodded. "Yes. I am br tn ex plain the situation and irrann fnr the return of th money. It Is very unfortunate." Stewart was forgotten as, her mind i Music la Etaential PRIDE of OWNERSHIP IN THESE ARTISTIC NEW STYLE New Style 300 Callea the "CONSOLE" Either of these beautiful Victrola will bring you that sense of satisfaction -and that pride of owner ship which accompanies any article recognized as the best. V in a whirr, Irma led the tall lawy into th cottage living room and be gan the terrible explanation. He listened quietly, then said, "I would like to see Mr. Peebles' home and the Jameson- lad in fact. Just what you have donoV- He came the next day and she jdid as he requested. Th day drew into a week. Evenings found him at the little cottage, a part of the little circle of home life. Under the quiet friend liness of his ways Irma almost forgot th tragic import of his errand. Then cam the evening he announced his departure. That night in the quiet of her room trma saw with a soul's clear vision that in him sh had found the some one she., could love some day. But tomorrow he would come, tomor row he would suggest some arrange ment for the return of the money she had used. Very quietly she cam to her decision to-marry Del Stewart. Th next afternoon the attorney came. H asked her to walk with him in th old-fashioned garden her mother loved. In the summer bouse he paused and took her hands. Che looked up into his fine gray eye to start and tremble at what she saw there something that sent a wild ciy thru her heart "He love me!" "Irma, confession and apology hall come. First, however, let me say not a penny need b returned. You have used the money too beautifully. Sec ond, I am a lawyer, but not a member of the Stetson firm. I am Starr Kings ton, v Last of all, I love you." The next thing she knew sh had evidence that it was no longer a mat ter of some one nor some day.

Feature of Program. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1922 The present conditions in Man churia are told in an unusually inter esting letter received recently by iJavid G. Page, of the Thomas Page Milling Co., and member ot the state committee of the Y. M. C. A., from L. K. Hall, boys' work secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in China, formerly boys' work secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Kansas. The three anfl one-hall acre lake at Camp Wood, Eimdale, Kan., the state Y. M. C. A. camp, is named in honor of Hall. The letter in part reads as follows: An Interesting Trip. "The seemingly limitless Man churian plain that I am crossing today suggests wheat, and no doubt that is the reason I. am writing you. This trip that I am on has been- in many ways my most interesting experience in China. I have been visiting our Chinese Y. M. C. ,A.'s in Manchuria, including the cities of Moukden, where the Japanese won their place tn the sun in the greatest battle of the Russo-Japanese war; Kirin, the capital of one of the provinces of Manchuria; Antung, on the border next to Korea and a large lumber port; and Harbin, the pivot o far eastern affairs in more ways than one. '"To wakei up on a train crossing Manchuria in the cold gray daw-n of a November dav and look out at the landscape is to give one the impres-, sion or a vast, slightly roiling plain, rich, fertile, not too densely populated but all in good cultivation. The tang of the air, the appearance of the ground, covered as it is now with the stubble of wheat, corn 'land "kao liang." the intense blue of the sky, all suggest eastern Kansas or Iowa or Illi nois. It's a marvelous country agri culturally, and one cannot blame the land-hungry Japanese for wanting it, "v.hether they are entitled to it or not. Thrilled With Harbin. "We got Into Harbin just r week ago, and accustomed as I am to Chi nese cities, I was still quite unprepared for my experience there, and after several days this remarkable city still thrills mo as I think about it. For one thing the presence of Russians everywhere was something new. There were not less than 150.000 of them, of all classes and circumstances, tho one bumps into a large number of princes, potentates and fine ladies, who have lost their glass slippers. Har bin, barring Vladivostok, which is i tally Japanese, is the one city of the world where they feel, with some risht. that they belong. Even here, the Chinese, coming in by the thou amls, are quietly, but surely crowding them out' The police are now all Chi nese; for every official in the Cht noso Eastern railway there is a Chi nese associate of equal rank, ready to take full control at the proper time. The Chinese industries are developing rapidly and already there are over Jin). 000 Chinese residents. And the Japanese, tho not numerous, are enough in evidence to make it a three cornered problem. For all three of these peoples Harbin is a frontier city. It f-oems fairly entitled to the claim of linsr the wickedest city in the world. "For Harbin.- once wholly Russian, rl;:to reveral hundred miles within the .M: nchurian frontier, has become the foinl point of the aspirations of three rations. China is stoutly resisting the rnrroachments of all outsiders and se'.iing to win for her own what she l-'-q always claimed as hers by right. That great artery, the railway, is lit t'e by little falling into her hands, .'apnn is teaching her children that Manchuria Is part of the empire, just are Formosa and Korea. And the rceime of Russia. withont any le i 1 status but persistently hopeful for trrn of the wheel of fortune, clings i-i despair. To these people it is a Uossinn cHy. To it their relatives ml friends continue to come out to Siberia. Tn a very real way the city T-,ftnCts their culture and religion. With Vladivostok, it is old Russia's last stand. A Oreat Commercial City. "Commercially and industrially it is of great importance. Heven hundred miles to the east is Vladivostok. Har bin is the first great city west of it. To the west of Harbin is a very great hinterland. There ts much manufac turing and e-crything points to the fact that the nation which wins Har bin's future lias thereby secured a great prize.

When the 105 coun ties pay for state, county, city, town ship and school management for this year eliminating several million dol lars indirect reenue the bill at the countv treasurers' office will be $75, 962,5J7.04. In 19V0 the same tax charge was $24,516,113. It is the 1921 tax levy that is re sponsible for the springing up of tax payers leagues in many counties in the state. Most of the protest is com ing from the rural 'districts. It is coming from the farmers who have spent a week in Topeka and. made no effort to conceal their grouch. Prices of farm lands, wheat, corn, hogs and cattle have gone down and down. At the same time cost of government at the state house, at the court house and in the city hali is more than ever before. More farmers have filed petitions in voluntary bankruptcy in Kansas in the last ninety days than at any time in 35 years. Many of them bought lands and stock at war prices. They have in numerous cases lost their original investment and the live stock and farm lands are not bringing enough to clean up the mortgages. The Story by Years. There are some rather staggering figures in the tax reports. Looking thru the records for twenty years isn't a bit cheering altho the period, from 1900 to 1910 shows the state was not making altitude records in public ex pense. In 1901 the total levy for all purposes in Kansas was a bit under 14 millions. For the next ten years there was an increase of less than 100 per cent. Then comes the bump of 300 per cent from 1810 to 1921. Taxes under the 1921 ley were In creased substantially eight million dollars over 1920 $7,935,798.38 to be exact. The high jump, however, was in 1920 when cost of state government went from $55,611,474 to $68,026,738. State taxes are largely responsible for the big increase in the 1921 levy. State taxes for the year are $8,504, 359.09 as against $5,440,338.84 for 1920.' Those figures don't seem so high in comparison with the total for school and county purposes, altho the state will raise $2,500,000 In indirect rev enue during theyear in addition to its eight and a half million direct tax. The real effect of the state levy for 1921 is in the fact that it is an increase of 58 per centover the pre vious year, that it is the highest levy ever made by the state and the great est increase for state government in any one year in the history of Kansas. The increase for the single year is 150 per cent of the total state tax for 1901. It is also 40 per cent of the -total increase for all purposes in the state for the year. The general lew -including all direct taxes averages 12 per cent increase. The state in crease of 58 per cent gives to the state $3,064,021 of tho total tax Increase of $7,935,798.38.

Friends of College in Manhat tan Beady to Contribute Completion of at least one section of an Aggie memorial stadium before the opening of the 1922 football sea son, is practically assured. A com mittee recently appointed by Presi dent W. M. Jardine, voted to make a start tows.rds .the erection, as soon as possible, of stadium that should be a fitting memorial for the Aggies who lost their lives in the war. A sub-committee, of which R. A- Sea ton, dean of engineering, is chair man, is now worjking out the con struction details. The tentative plan is that the structure shall be built of native Kansas stone and that the total cost, when finished, shall ap proximate $200,000. It is not likely that more than one section will be completed this year. Only Part This Year. "In view of the general economic depression-we could not think of call ing upon our alumni for he full $200,000 within the next year," said President Jardine. "But the worst of the drepression ispast, we hope. The year 1922 is expected to bring with, it better business conditions generally. "But already there are friends of the college residing in Manhattan ready to give enough during 1922 to complete the first section. We shall bend every effort toward th3 com pletion of the first section, with a seating capacity of five? thousand per sons, before the opening of the foot ball season next fall." The four sections of the finished structure will seat 20,000 persons. It is planned. The space underneath the seats will be utilized for locker rooms, showers, recreation centers, and club rooms for old grads and others. 'With the growth of intramural athleticsat K. 8. A.

And, We are told, that this is tho way the latter name origi nated: Venus owned a very beautiful and wonderful mirror which had the strange power of adding: to the beauty of the person who was reflected there. Venus was beautiful but she could not resist the attraction of added charms, so she used this mirror frequently. You can imagine her dismay and sor row when she found that she had in someway mislaid or lost this treasure-. She searched for it high and low, and far and wide, but she could not find it. Bo she called Cupid, her little boy, and bade him go out upon the search.

Suggestions For Teachers. "The page are bristling with, sug gestions that the enterprising teacher can' use for giving information or in stilling ideals. The illustrations are works tof art. Their purpose is to at tract and to please. The space, a single page of which may cost thou sands of dollars, is wasted if the ad vertisements fail to accomplish these ends. Hence, only the most expert of illustrators and color artists aro em ployed by the big advertising firms. The English, also the work of experts, is a model of clearness, terseness and force, and as such may be studied with profit by almost anyone." Laying emphasis upon the value of 'advertisement Illustrations to the art teachr, tho writer continues: "Advertisements can be even more useful to the domestic science teacher. New recipes and ways of using new food may be gleaned from the adver tisements of food produces. Many manufacturers will, upon request, send recipe books and informational ma terials about their products. Textile and clothing ads embody many prac tical suggestions of style, comfort, con venience, color schemes and designs which the resourceful teacher or stu dent can adapt to her own use. Pat terns in silver, styles in 'furniture, correct setting of a table, artUtio Ar rangement of furniture In a room, labor-saving machinery for the home all these ideals can be illustrated from advertisements by the wide awake teacher of domestic science." y Soma Good Examples. Declaring that advertisements in the better class periodicals furnish tome of the verjiL-best examples of modern English prose writing, Superintendent Duiekohn says in the article: "They are clear, direct, forceful de scription, exposition or argumentation such 8s successful business, men use. Tho English much be the best, for space costs money; the argument must be presented in a clear, terse, forceful way that carries conviction, else the space is wasted.

14 THE TOPEKA DAILY- STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1922 Death Rate in Lowest Ever 1921-r-Was Records of City Health Department Show That 714 To pekans Died During the Year Fewest Ever Reported, While Population Is Greater Than Ever Before Too Much Infant Mortality, Says City Health Officer. BY VERNON E. BUNDT. According to the annual report which is being submitted by Dr. Earle O. Brown, city health officer, Topeka, during 1921, suffered the lowest "gross" death rate which has ever been recorded in the history of the city The gross death rate during 1921 I death overtook Topekans affords sev was 14.04 persons per thousand of eral features of interest. The most population, calculated on me same basis the rate in 1920 was 14.6 per sons per thousand of population, and in 1919, 14.7 persons per thousand. The actual number of deaths re corded in Toneka. durins the year was 714. This was a smaller death total in numbers than that of 1920 733, in I spite of the .increase in population, i which is estimated at 833 persons for the year. f this increase in popu lation, 200 is the estimated number of the additional area which has re cently been annexed to the city. The remainder are removals to the city and births). The number of deaths occurring in Topeka in 1920 was larger than that in 1919. when only 730 deaths oc curred, due to the influenza epidemic. "There is no doubt that we could reduce this death rate still further, if we could get at the figures on a com munity basis," Doctor Brown declares. The deaths are figured on a geograph ical basis without regard to whether they are residents of the city or not, and Doctor Brown is firmly of the opinion that more nonresidents died In Topeka during 1921 than there were Topeka residents who died elsewhere. NoiircsMrntft' I-Hi Counted. Nonresident deaths at the hospitals t- Topeka were counted in when the death rate for the city was calculated. This factor unduly increased the deatn rate for the city. The plan of account ing for the deaths from the com rminitv standpoint, howver. presents difficulties which it would be impos sible to surmount. Of the months of the year. October saw the greatest number of deaths ccur in Topeka seventy-one. The lowest number for one month was June, with but thirty-nine deaths. More men than women died during the year. The deaths of 366 males m-crf recorded, making 51.12 per cent of the total. The deaths of 348 wo men, only 48.88 per cent, were re corded. ln classifying the death records by races it was found that the Mexican race had by far the highest death Tate. The Mexican population of To peka is estimated by the city officials as 1.000. and the colored as 4.500. leaving a total of 45.3"i5 whites. Higli .Mexican Death Kate. The death late of Mexicans was 37 lit r i.ju". 'i persons per 1.000 population. ana oi white, 13 per 1,000 population. In the natural course of events, more married person than single or widowed died during the year bo cause there are more married than single adults in the city. There were 30 5 married persons' deaths reported during the year, as against the deaths of 229 single persons, 160 widowed persons, fourteen divorced persons, ami six who -e conjugal state was un known. Of tiie persons who died in Topeka during the year. 141 were born in the city: 9 6 wore born in other cities in Kansas: 351 were born in other states of the United States: lir were born in foreign countries, and the birthiiiaces of eleven are unknown.

But some Topeka resi dents died in other localities. "Too Many' Infant Deaths." The matier of the age at which striking point, as illustrated in the uge chart accompanying, is the large number of deaths which occurred be fore the age of ten years had been reached. "There is too much infant mortality in Topeka," Dr. Brown declares. He points out that 108 children under the age of two years, died in Topeka last year making 14.28 per cent of all ihe deaths in the city. The deaths under the age' of ten years numbered 143, or a" total of 20.02 per cent of all the deaths for the year.

Kansas Has Lowest Death Rate. According to the statistics of past years, the period between the ages of -seventy and -eighty years has always seen the greatest number of deaths ?fnUIJ?th JU? hexePtir of the f,irsi m h? t 'a always ranked highest. According to statistics col- lected by the Union Central Life In surance company, the death rate in Kansas is the lowest in the Union. The Sixth and Second wards of the 93 ?8 1Z4 75 12 SC& 6070 70 SOW 90-100 21. deaths during the year. This condi tion is due partly to the greater pop ulation in these wards, but chiefly to the presence of hospitals in each, Deaths by Wards. Deaths occurred by wards as fol lows: First ward, seventy-seven; sec ond -ward, 188; Third ward, ninety; Fourth ward, sixty-four: Fifth ward, eighty-eight; Sixth ward, 207. Reverting to the figures on infant mortality, it is shown that when the deaths are classified according to ages by months, the greatest number died before they were a month of age. Twenty-two died before they were twenty-four hours old. Forty died between the ages of one day and one month. The death rate varied until the infants were one -year of age, and but fifteen of them died between the ages of one year and two years. Sev enteen died between the ages of two years and five years, and only eight between the ages of five years and ten years. This makes evident the fact that the unusually high death rate before the age of ten years is caused by the death of very young infants. Ten Causes of T) uth. Organic heart disease was the cause of more deaths in Topeka during the year, than any other ailment or cir cumstance. Organic heart disease killed sixty-one persons during the year. The nine next in order, as in dicated in the chart -which, accom panies, were cancer, sixty; apoplexy, sixty; pneumonia, all forms, fifty four: nephritis, fifty-two; enteritis, thirty-five; tuberculosis in all forms; thirty; premature birth, twenty-nine; 60 SO S4 35 50 2? 25 TctQl 431 Topeka in 1921, graphically Illustrated. peritonitis, twenty-six; arteriosclerosis, twenty-five. The causes of death -which have been listed by the health department, are subject to the "International" classification, which gives 189 differ ent causes as possibilities; Thirteen of these main divisions are listed in the report of the health department for the year. The TIiirt:n Classifications. The first, "general diseases," includ ing acute infections, cancer, blood poisoning, and occupational diseases, brought, about the deaths of 152 per sons. The second, diseases of the nervous system and the organs of special sense such as the brain, nerves, spine, ears and yes cost seVenty-six 'live during ;th vnr B The third, disease of the circulatory systenif caused 115 dealhs. Gf this J: the heart and twenty-five were caused by diseases ot fhe arteries. The fourth, diseases of the respira tory system, caused sixty-two deaths, fifty-four of them due to pneumonia. -The fifth, diseases of the digestive system, caused ninety-three deaths. Of this number, thirty-five were from dysentery and enteritis, and twenty five of the thirty-five occurred in in fants less than two years of age. Ap pendicitis and peritonitis cost thirty two lives. The sixth division includes non venereal diseases of the genito-urinal system, and cost sixty-two lives. Of this number, fifty-two cases were of Bright's disease. The- seventh classification, that of the purpural state, resulted in nine deaths during the year. The eighth classification is of di seases of the akin and cellular tissue, and caused two deaths. The ninth classification Is of di seases of the bones, and did not result in any deaths. The tenth division, malformation, or congenital defects, resulted in twelve deaths, seven of them from malforma tion of the heart. An Interesting Comparison The eleventh division Is of the di seases of very early infancy, and caused fifty-one deaths. The twelfth division is 'senity,, or old age. It is interesting to compare the twenty deaths resulting from old age, with the fifty-one resulting from the diseases of early infancy. Eleven persons in Topeka died beyond 4he age of SO years in 1921, and four be tween the ages of ninety years and an even century Forty-seven Violent Deaths. The thirteenth classification Is of affections produced by external vio lence violent deaths, in other words. There were forty-seven deaths under this classification in Topeka during the year. Of this number two were suicides by poison, three by hanging and one by drowning. Four deaths were from acute poisoning not sui cide. One was smothered, one was accidentally drowned, eleven died as a result of railroad accidents and there were six- murders. Among the murdered there were four Mexicans, one white man and one colored wom an. There wre thirteen deaths reported .during the. year in which the cause was ill defined or not specified. The acute infections were respon sible for 118 deaths during the year, as follows: pneumonia, in all forms, fifty-four; pulmonary tuberculosis, twenty-four: diphtheria, fourteen; i measles, six; tuberculosis other than the lungs, six; typhoid, Lfive; social diseases, three; tetanus, two; scarlet fever, two; E. C. S. meningitis, one. The acute infections caused the I doaths of 160 persons during 1920, and I of 193 persons during 1&19. Birth Rate on Increase To offset the decreasing death rate, the birth rate in Toileka, both in the actual births renorted to the citv officers, and in the rate per 1,000 population, has been on the Increase ever since it first became compulsory to report births, in 1914. There were reported during 1921, 1,247 births in Topeka the greatest number ever re ported in one year. The birth rate par 1,000 of population for the year was 24.5. The births reported in 1920 numbered 1,158, with a rateper 1,000 of population, of 23.1. The number reported in 1919 was 1,007, and in 1918, 1,099. There were born during the year more boy babies than girl babies by thirty-seven. The majority was with the male sex only in the white race. There were reported the births of 586 white boy babies, and 536 girt babies. In both the colored and Mexican rcces, the girls outnumbered the boys. There were born during the year, thirty-one colored boy babies and forty two colored girl babies; twenty-five Mexican boy babies and twenty-seven Mexican girl babies. Most Babies In December. More babies were born in December than in any other month. .One hun dred and nineteen youngsters opened their eyes in Topeka during that month; 11$ in July: 115 in October, and 113 in April. May was the low month, Tyith but seventy-six births reported. As an index to the accuracy which is given by the vital statistics which have been .kept in Topeka for the past seven years, it, is interesting to note that on November 15, a month and a half before the end of the year, and two months before the figures for 1921 were all checked up and all reports had been received, Doctor Brown, in conversation in his office, made the following statement: Easing my fore cast on the figures which we have available, I believe there will be 1,241 births and 709 deaths during the year." Doctor Brown's forecast missed the actual birth reports by only six units, and the death reports by five units, a percentages of error of .47 per cent in the one case, and .70 per cent in the other. AMERICAN LEGION NEWS The father of his country probably would turn over in his grave if he could see the name of one George W. Washington on the latest draft evader list sent out by the government. To corral the more than 100,000 slackers at large in the United States is a part of the 1922 program of the American Legion, but it does not promise to be an easy task.. Another listed member of the Berg doll fraternity is Hoa Hum, who evi dently was too tired or bored to join up. Charles Kaiser might have been excused for family reasons, but he didn't even show up before a draft board. Another listed is Sam Browne, who displayed no desire to wear the belt. An especial effort probably will be put forth to capture one Ton MiU who would have added vim and vigor to the war had he participated. Grover Cleveland Johnson has more sympathy for Bergdoll than he did for the late president. William Johnson, whose address was given simply and clearly as "Tight Al ley," probably got in and couldn't get out. Rudolph Llnck, gone without a trace, is surely enough the missng one. Maj. Gen. Harris, adjutant general of the army, has recommended that congress appropriate $250,000 to pay rewr.'ds of $50 for each draft evader delivered to the military authorities. Many post of the legion, on the trail of slackers, have signified their in tention of collecting the rewards and using the money for the relief of needy or disabled ex-soldiers. The American Legion will plead its case for adjusted compensation before every chamber of commerce in the country, according to a plan or liana ford MacNider, national commander. The legion's object is to obtain a de- i cision favorable to compensation m tne naion-wide rererenaum on tne subject which has been called for by the United States Chamber of Com merce at Washington. This body went on record against compensation at its last annual meeting and has since waged a bitter fight on the Legion's bill, but there have been indications that its attitude has not reflected faithfully the stand of many of its in dividual members. Chambers in such important cities as Cleveland, O. Seattle, Wash. Portland, Ore., and some twenty others have openly re pudiated the position of the national organization and have adopted resolu tions supporting compensation. That the legions attitude has been befogged by opponents of the measure is charged in a letter from MacNider to the president of the Federal cham ber, copies of which have been dis tributed to every post. MacNider claims that a mistaken idea of the bill has been spread abroad by the per sistent attack on the "cash bonus' clause, which is only one of five pro visions for adjusted compensation. Cash, vocational training, paid-up 20-year endowment insurance, farm or home aid, and land settlement are the five optional forms, and MacNider contends the cash payment will not be seized upon by an unreasonable per centage, of exservice men because it offers the least actual value of all. "Our point is that no referendum can be fair unless those who consider the question know what the immediate issue is," the letter reads. "We urge that every facility be gi n them to understand." The following extract is taken from the December hospital report sub- mitted by the welfare committee of the American Legion auxiliary unit at Wichita .to department headquarters at Topekn: "Ever man in the hos pitals (St.. Frances and Wesley) was asked what he most desired for Christ mas. Their wishes ranged all the way from a pair of bed-room slippers to a suit of clothes. Each was given the particular thing for which he had expressed a preference. Luring the holidays we raised a Christmas fund to which Wiclflta merchants and other residents contributed very liberally. Many units over the state responded promptly and generously to the call sent from department headquarters asking for their assistance in making possible this Christmas treat for the disabled men in Wichita hospitals. Some sent money, other sent clothing, or food. In the past seven months we have made 119 hospital visits and 1,745 individual calls, rendered 227 services, made and answered 551 phone calls, purchased 105 pieces of clothing and obtained 441 from.other sources, turned in twenty compensa tions, and assisted the familes of four ex-service men." The committee in charge of this magnanimous work is composed of Mrs. Grace L Jackson, chairman of the committee; Mrs. Clara H. Layne. who is also president of the Wichita unit, and Mrs. E- E. Bleckley, who is a member of the state executive committee. WANTS AKD MISCELLANEOUS ADS REAIj estate transfers. St. Luke Miss. Bnptist Church to C. WonrlAll. lota S5S-00. blk. 17. Madi son st..
