Forges Ahead of Cotton Export Values for First Time. Washington, March 14. Wheat was king of American agricultural exports in 1921. An analysis of the 1921 exports of 32 of the principal agricultural pro ducts grown in the United States made public today by the department of agriculture, shows that more wheat was exported during the last year than in any preceding year in the history of the country, and that for the first time the export value of wheat and wheat flour exceeded the value of cot ton exports. Exports of corn in 1921, including corn meal converted into terms of corn, were larger than in any year since 1900. Since 1919, the United States has become an exporter of rice, the exports of 600,050,000 pounds in 1921, being more than 23 times the average annual rice exports in the five-year period 1910-1914. Exports which showed an increased quantity of 1920 were: Wheat, cotton, corn, rice, barley, pork and pork products, except bacon, oleo oil, cotton seed oil and cake, re fined sugar, green apples, eggs, to bacco, dried apples, dried apricots and dried prunes. Exports which showed a decrease In quantiW were wheat flour, rye and rye flour, oats, beef, bacon, butter and .cheese, condensed milk, potatoes, hops, dried peaches and raisins.

AN APPRECIATION Editor State Journal: I want you to know how much I appreciate the innovation that you have started in The State Journal. I refer to the publication of the Gospel of St. Mark. I am sure that there are many people who will commend this action the part of The State Journal that will never take the trouble to say anything about it. I hope that a good many will. I am sure that if you had heard the splendid things that I heard said about it yesterday, that you would realize that many more people may be interested in it than take the time to speak of it. I hope that your example will be followed by many other daily 'papers thruout the country and I also hope the time is not far distant when the public press wiljl give as much prominence to the decent and commend able things done by people generally thruout the country as they, do to the scandalous things that occur from time to time. I, expect yon will say, In your mind, at least, that the papers will do this when the people want it done. I think a good many of the people will have to be educated, but Z believe that many more people would like to see it done than per haps have given expression to the thought. Sincerely yours. J. V.

PAY SAME WAGES Host of Rural Schools to Main- lain Present Scales. Thirteen Kansas Schools Will Increase Teachers' Salaries. Three-fourths of the rural high schools in Kansas either will maintain present wage scales for teachers and principals next year, or will grant substantial increases. Questionnaires recently sent out by L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas fetate Teachers' association, were filled out and returned by 128 rural high school principals. The information made available by these reports is compiled in statistical form and is being sent out to the teachers of Kan sas and to others Interested in uphold ing present high standards of teach ing. The compilation shows: Thirteen rural high schools plan to increase teachers' salaries tiextyear, and fif teen rural high schools will increase salaries paid principals: seventy-five rural high schools will continue the present scale for teachers and eighty two will make no change in the sal aries of principals. Only thirty-nine schools of the 128 reporting even con template a reduction in salaries for teachers, and only thirty-one are con sidering outs in salaries paid prin cipals. Salary Cut Would Drive Them Away. In submitting the reports almost every rural high school principal de clared a salary cut for teachers at tm time undoubtedly will mean that mftny of the best qualified and most efficient teachers will leave the rural high schools and seek places in the larger cities, r else leave the profes sion for some line of work where ex perience and constant study get more suitable financial reward. Developing these comments into a summary of results Secretary Pinet says on the back. page of his circular: "If the boys and girls of rural com munities are to continue to enjoy the type of high school education espe cially suited to their needs, if the so cial and intellectual life in rural dis tricts and small towns and villages is to be enriched and quickened, if it is worth while to give the youth from the farm an, equal chance with the youth from the city, then it is sheer folly and nothing else, to talk of salary reductions in the rural high schools of Kansas." TO HELP KANSAS BANKERS Plan Being Discussed With Represen tatives of War Finance Board. Governor Allen, Frank H. Foster, state bank commissioner: and Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general, are in Kansas City today attending a con ference with representatives of the war finance corporation.

The war finance corporation re quires deposit of 20 per cent collateral in addition to the face value of all loans. Placing of such collateral is prohibited under state banking laws and state banks are thu precluded from use of a portion of the billion dollar agricultural fund. Representa tives of the finance corporation and state officials hope to reach an agree ment in the Kansas City conference which will relieve the situation.

Leaves His Famous Diva Wife to Return as Chauffeur. "JUST ESCAPED FROM HER" "3fo Friction, But I Won't Go Back," Says He. Madame Margaret Matzanauer Called Him '100 Per Cent Man.' San Francisco, March 14. Mar garet Matzanauer, famous diva, ap parently has lost her chauffeur hus band, whom she termed "100 per cent man." The husband, Floyd Glotz bach, has come back to his job at the Delmonte hotel here, driving tourists about. About a year ago he took Mme. Matzanauer out for a drive for hire. She sat on the front seat with .him, better to enjoy the scenery. Later the engagement and marriage. The San Francisco Examiner today gives Glotzbach's reasons for leaving his bride in New York: Rather Be Chauffeur. "I'd rather be a chauffeur," 'he said. It would seem Glotzbach was forced to let another man drive his wife's automobile. "It would drive any man crazy to sit back among the cushions and squirm every time he felt the back lash of the transmission, when all it needed was a real mechanician." he declared. The 'paper says Glotzbach insisted there had been no friction: that the chauffeur husband Just escaped when his bride was not looking; that he will not go -back. Madame Matzanauer, it is said, wants her husband back. Won't Hear of Compromise. There Is talk of compromises from New Tork but unlistened to, says Glotzbach. Glotzbach said he did not enjoy breakfasts in bed. Nor did sit ting up night after night thru the mad scene of Lucia appeal to an ear at tuned to the hum of a smooth-running motor. After this marriage Miss Matza nauer said the first marriage to Fer rari Montara, failed because of artistic temperament. She wanted a "man," she said. The antithesis of her tem perament theory is hinted as respon sible for the wreck of the new ro mance. Glotzbach, a six-foot westerner, comments: "Orchids will thrive in hot houses but -wild mustard needs the California sun." She Doesn't Know Yet. Joplin. Mo., March 14. Margaret Matzanauer, prima donna, who will sing in Joplin tonight, arrived here this morning, but when an effort was made to interview her in regard to the reported loss of h chauffeur husband her accompanist said she was confined to her room by illness and could not give out a statement. Georges Vause. accompanist of Madame Matzenauer, expressed sur prise when tola that her husband, Floyd Glotzbach, had gone back to San Francisco. He said he .did not know of any friction between the two and felt sure she was unaware of her husband's action. "Don't tell her," he pleaded. "It would never do. The madame must sing tonight. That would be difficult if she knew." Vause has accompanied the prima donna on her present concert tour. He said her illness, was not serious, that she would be all right after a much needed rest. INCUMBER PRAISES TREATY Ratification Adherents of Pacific Pact Lead Off on Senate Floor. Washington, March 14. Supporters of the four power treaty again took the offensive when the senate resumed debate on the pact today, under an agreement to vote late this afternoon on the first of the proposed amend ments. Senators McCumber of North r- kota and Lenroot of Wisconsin, both Republicans, led off for the ratifica tion advocates, praising the treaty as a long step toward international un derstanding and denying that it em bodies dangerous entanglements. Rejection in the senate today of the first proposal to amend the treaty textually was expected to give its sup porters their first victory, but not to reveal conclusively the probable line up on ratification. Vote is set for 4 o'clock today. Only a majority vote is required by the senate rules to reject either an amendment or a serervation to a treaty; a two-thirds vote is necessary to ratify. Senator Lodge, the Republican lead er, commanded as the battle over the treaty was renewed, an ample ma jority to insure the defeat of the pending amendment which was spon sored by Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas. As modified by Robinson, the amendment would include China. Si beria, and the rest of the Asiatic main land within the terms of the treaty, and would provide not only for a con ference between the four-powers signatory to it whenever a dispute arose between them, but of other na tions having territorial or other in terests in the Pacific and Far East. The amendment would apply the League of Nations plans to the Pacific or the Orient, and would, in the Judg ment of Senator Lodge, destroy the purpose and effect of the treaty.

It is impossibleto say too much. One of the many advantages Wash burn has brought to Topeka is per haps being overlooked. 1 refer to th development of the pnrt of town near the college campus. The town is gro'.vj-ifr that way. Fine homes are being built there. Lots near the college worth $400 a few years ago are now worth $1,000.

Miss Jessie Binford, noted social worker, declared In an in terview today. She said parents are "powerless." "The youth of the delinquents to day is amazing," she asserted. "Most of the girls are under 20. "Every community I visit is great ly disturbed over the problem of its young people. This seems to be the age of youth and parents are powerless.- "There is a freedom of relationship that is appalling." Miss Binford. who is field represen tative of the United States Interde partmental Social Hygiene board, is one of the 1,000 sociologists, psycholo gists, statisticians, educators and social service workers attending the Chicago health conference. She said that the inter-departmental social hygiene board has made a study of 15,010 cases of delinquent girls. "Fifty-seven per cent of them had their first wrong experience under 17 years of age. Thirty-six per cent did not reach the sixth grade. Eighty three per cent did not go beyond the grammar school. Ninety-two per cent were at work before the age of 19." "What is to be done?" Miss Binford was asked. "The parents in this countrv." she replied, "must again gain control of 1 ineir cnuaren. Freedom of relation ship between boys and girls must be curtailed. Supervision and chuperon age must return. "It is high time to put the baby vamp in her place." arbugkleTury hard to get Only One Venireman Ia.ssetl Tem porarily and Week's Attempt Loom.

It in notorious that many of these arirls vert used for-prostitution pur poses. General Booth, in common "with all who desire the preservation 'of womanhood, was shocked upon hearing- the news and wrote from London that everything possible should be done to prevent this traffic, .fven to the extent of providing tho parents, with needed money for food, jlf the atria were ilaced under our protection.

This year the famine has a train swept thru the land and we have succeeded in intercepting the f-ale of a ood number of girls and they are now safely housed in our grlH home. "We are educating them and teach ing them to earn an honest living. Only yesterday we received an orphan Sirl from Pao Tinsr Ku whose parents had both starved from famine.

In an address before the American Woman's club of Shanghai, Mine Louise Hammond, a missionary from Wusih. Kiangsu province, painted a vivid picture of the fiKht the masses of Chinese in the famine district are having to live. "One of the evils to which the Chi nese are forced by the difficulty of providing rice for hungry mouths is thecals of their girl babies." said Miss Hammond. "Often as 'little servants1 in good homes, they are kindly treated, their work is not too heavy, they are married off and independent after marriage. "A child of 4 years can be bought from 1 to $10 but girls of 16 bring from $1 to 1100. It is often to the advantage of the mother-in-law to buy a, prospective daughter, as" she can then have her services as a house hold servant before as well as after marriage."

Meanwhile, Moore Is trying to re call the names of two of his eleven or more "wives" and the aliases under which he married some of the others. His only excuse for his actions, ac cording to d3tectives, is that ho has for years been a victim mental dis orders, induced by a blow on the head with a baseball bat when he was a boy. He is now 32 years old. Moore admits he married these women within tho last five years: 1. Flora Dolf at Wyoming, Pa. 2. Amelia Werner, -Detroit. 3. Hue Harrison, Houma, La. 4.

"I know I married at least eleven women," he admits. "There may have been more. I didn't get money from more than two or three of them." Acquaintance in almost every case, he said, came thru his singing in church choirs. FARMERS TO KEEP COMPETING. Kansas Men Declare Open Biding for Livestock Is Desirable. Eureka, Kan., March .13.

Kansas people are preparing to capture the territorial offices in tbe Indian Terri tory, as the following notice from a Mc Alester paper indicates: "Kx-Attorney tieneral Bradford of Topeka, James r Craig of Wichita and Fred H. Kellogg of Knii'oria. hare recently formed a law firm under the name of Bradford, Craig Kel It'ijg and already have a good business. 1. Li. Soper, assistant attorney, and Mr. Ady will oe L'nited states attorney in the First district, and if General Bradford fails to get something from McKinley we miss our guess."

"Bring; on Georges Carpentier and then Jack Dempsey." today was the battle cry of Harry Oreb, Pittsburgh light heavyweight. By his tantalizing victory' over St. Paul Tommy Gibbons in their 15 round battle in Madison Square Gar den last night, Oreb won the right to be matched with Carpentier to fight for a chance at Dempsey's crown. Gibbons might have won the bout at any minute, with one crashing blow, but 13.400 persons who packed the Garden, waited in vain for the crash to land. That it never did land was due to Greb's tactics of dazzling the St. Paul battler with his speed and stamina. OM.V SIX CANDIDATES PASS. AH!

LESS GRAIN ON HAND NOW Depletion of Reserves Due to Forced Marketing of Wheat. j Altho. with the exception of wheat, the stocks of grain on hand as of March 1 compare favorably with 1920, they are much smaller than last March, according to the report of Ed ward C. Paxton, Kansas statistician of the" United States bureau of crop estimates. There are only 18,017,000 bushels of wheat on hand as compared with 42,923,000 bushels March 1. 1921- and S8.466.000 bushels March 1, 1920. Farm corn reserves on hand March 1 this year totaled 39.895.000 bushels as compared with 71,650,000 a year ago and 17,824.000 in 1920. Oats and barley stocks have dwindled to 13, 201,000 and 5,280,000 bushels respec tively, as compared with 31,344,000 and 9.351,000 last March. On March 1 this year only two Kan sas counties Pratt and Sedgwick were holding in excess of 600,000 bushels of wheat in the bins. A year ago six counties held in excess of a million bushels each. This depletion of grain reserves is generally attributed to forced market ing of wheat to relieve pressing fi nancial obligations. The feeling was general that grain prices would not improve. A smaller production in 1921 and increased feeding of hogs and cattle is thought to be responsi ble for the smaller corn stocks. Only nine Kansas counties this year are holding more than one million bushels of corn each, as compared with twenty-seven last year. ATTORNEY AND MAYOR SCRAP.

It consti tutes the largest and most important market for petroleum products on the American continent. To win such a market, to gain the con fidence, and enjoy the respect of this buying public is a task worth while. To achieve this objective, to merit the confidence of its patrons, and to be prepared at all times to serve them, has been for many years the domina ting idea of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To make its service more comprehensive it manufactures special grades of its products to meet special requirements. For example, take gasoline. Under this general head come fifteen different prod ucts, each made with scientific precision to meet a specific, well-defined need. For the motorist the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes Red Crown Gasoline. This product is made for the sole purpose of generating power in the modern internal combustion engine. It has a chain of boiling point fractions carefully adjusted and graduated with scientific exactness to enable you to get from your engine all the power it can develop. In attacking the problem of supplying motor gasoline for 30 million people, three main points were considered First Quality: The gasoline must function perfectly: to do this nothing short of scientific precision is sufficient. Second Quantity: To meet the ever-growing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline must be great if the cost is to be kept down. i Third Distribution: To make it easy for the consumer, wherever he may live, to secure 1 gallon or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it. In Red Crown Gasoline is symbolized the ideals animating the Board of Direc tors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is highly effi cient it is produced in large quantities, and sold at a price that is fair to all. Red Crown has achieved leadership by rendering a maximtim of service just as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has become a leader in the industry by ren deringadefinite, positive, essential service. It is by such standards that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) measures its usefulness, and by maintaining such standards it intends to continue this leadership by meriting the confidence and respect of the public it serves.

STATE JOIKNAL INtOKMA- T lrederllcKJ.AUaskln. Director. Washing ton. 1. c The national administration loses no opportunity to sling the sales tax Jn the. race of congress, but that body, up to this time, has succeeded in dodging it. Now- the situation appears to be rapidly approaching the point of no sales tax, no bonus. Secretary Mellon wisely points out that there Is way to Juggle the bonus proposed so that the taxpayers can escape the burden.' Any effort to obscure this fact can only add to the ultimate cost. Indirect taxation always is more ex pensive than the direct kind, because It passes thru so many more hands before reaching the treasury, and each of these hands, takes Its little rake-off, Framers of the proposed bonus law have paved the way for the banks to get theirs. When the treaty of Versailles was rejected by the United S:ate senate Mr. Wilson and his supporters charged the failure of the treaty to partisan politics. Those who are holding up the Washington treaty now also are charged with feeing influenced by par tisan politics. There can be little doubt that in both cases the charge Is well founded. With murdev trials, blizzards and earthquakes. California has been able to keep in the limelight thruout the winter. The state lives almost wholly on publicity but if it could choose probably it would select a. different kind. The newest thing in the Golden State's publicity program is a threat ened volcanic eruption. Fresident Harding's decision not to end delegates to the conference at Genoa, in the opinion of Henry Clews, Is undoubtedly dictated in some meas ure by the unfriendly attitude of the senate towasd the Washington arms conference treaties. The current statement of Senator Lodge that the four power treaty is in danger and that, should it be defeated, the work ef the arms conference would go for nothing illustrates the situation, he ays. and shows why there is so much reluctance to incur any more foreign commitments to which we should have trouble in gaining the support of congress. Perhaps Mr. Clews is right bout it. It is easily conceivable that president might refuse to continue his efforts to do something worth while for the country, if his work continually be nullified by selfish pol iticians. Any form of a sales tax which Is not general in ita application can hardly fail to result in many cases of injustice in itj administration. The truth of this is seen in the clause In the excise sales tax law which im poses a 10 per cent tax on all clothing which may be used as hunting or sport clothing. As the law stands at present, all so-called hunting or sport clothing ia subject to a. tax, while work clothing ia not. However, there ia no specific definition avail able that lays down a clear basis for the application of this tax. and rnack lnaws, laced breeches, puttees and similar garments used in great quan tities as work clothing, particularly since the war, are subjected to tax by collectors who classify them as hunt ing apparel. Certain manufacturers have thus been forced to pay a. tax on all their products and others have es caped it. due to the lack of a clear definition for application of the tax. Manufacturers who wish to sell part of their output to hunters and sports men must pay the tax on all their products, tho only a small portion is sold for sport purposes. Other man ufacturers who sell only to workmen such as lumbermen, chauffeurs, truck men, surveyors and others in cutdoor occupations pay no tax, while at the same time they may lose all the sport trade. Those manufacturers who pay the tax. therefore, cannot compete with those who escape it, since their goods e priced by tbe retailer at least 1 per cent higher than, prices for similar garments on which no tax has been paid. This condition has re sulted In a i organised movement by the manufacturers adversely affected to endeavor to obtain fair treatment. AX ARBITRATOR'S RCIJXGS. In an arbitration finding handed down recently and accepted as the ending of a twelve-year controversy between publishers and pressmen of New Tork dallies. Judge Manton laid down, among his specific rulings, a principle which not only is of much Import in that industry but of serious and increasing concern to some other lines of business. It involves the de gree of control by the employer over his own business. Hitherto the pressmen's union in sisted on such prerogatives, affecting control and conduct of work, as the I determination of the number of men j employed pn each press and the as i signment of men to any particular work. Judge Manton brushes that doctrine aside. Farts of his findings run as follows: "The publishers shall have the sole right to determine the number of men necessary to operate and man the presses in their respective pressrooms. The publisher will be the judge of the competency of the men so em ployed. The publisher must have the final decision as to competency. All employes of the pressroom shall perform any work pertaining to the operation, maintenance, cleaning and upkeep of the presses, and shall be subject to the orders and direction of the publisher in so doing. Press crews or members thereof may be transferred at discreation of the publisher from one press or one posi tion to another. The publisher shall have authority to discharge for good cause." These are some of the practical ap plications of a guiding rule defined as follows: 'The employer is deemed to have superior choice, control and di rection of an employe, and the em ploye represents his will, not merely in the ultimate result of the work, but in the details. The employe engages in performance of the proper duties assigned to him and contracts to do so for pay. He labors for the pleasure and Interest of another. His duties should be defined and directed by his employer." If the principles set forth by Judge Manton become generally accepted they will revolutionize the relations hitherto existing between employers and employes in many industries. The situation which prevailed in the New York newspaper offices did not differ greatly from that in the railroad in dustry. It is this situation that the railroad labor board is being asked to change. When the Versailles treaty was pending in the United States senate, members of that body talked them selves hoarse in advancing pleas for world peace. The same sort of thing is going on today and the pleas are falling on deaf ears Just as they did then. THE RAILROADS' NEW RIVAL. In one way or another the railroads of the country succeeded in putting the canals and the steamboats out of business. They now find themselves confronted by a new kind of compe tition in the form of motor trucks. Tbe indications are that the railroads will rely upon favorable'legislation to help them out. The rapid development of the mo tor truck has outdistanced the prog ress) in transportation legislation, until today, when a truck line carrying freight .parallels a steam railroad no one knows the respective rights of the carriers. The truck line uses a high way for which the community pays and the railroad runs up a deficit which the community refunds. Recently such a parallel system of carriers waa in operation between two industrial centers In the east- The traffic was heavy and each line was envious of the other's share in the attractive revenue. The railroad ap pealed to state authorities on the ground that it was a public utility and needed community support. Some time later a state law was passed limiting the weight of truck loads on state highways and incidentally put ting out of business the truck line which carried freight in competition with the railroad which had made the complaint. In the new contest for transporta tion supremacy that is developing it appears that the public is to be made the goat, as always in the past. If the public builds roads, it seems that it should be entitled to the benefits of the cheaper transportation that follows: But. if it must hand over its savings to another carrier that has performed no service, little has been gained. Many ef the railroads in the coun try were built with the people's mon ey roads which helped to put the cheap water carriers out of business but if the canal and the steamboat men ever called for relief it Is certain they neve got it. The people are spending huge sums on road building and are entitled to all the benefits to be got out of the expenditure. x Gazing into the future Chairman Reed ef the public utilities commis sion sees a return of the rate making power to the states. Chairman Reed should take another look. This coun try moves forward, not backward. To wrest this power from the states and place it in the hands of the interstate commerce commission has been the work of years. It will not be undone. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau rHKDERXO J. HASKIJ?, Director, Washington, IX C THE DISAPPEARING DIAMONDS. Washington. D. C. March 10j The great collection of Russian crown Jew els seems likely to share the myster ious fate of the peacock throne in DelhL The peacock throne, which cost Shah Jehan 120,000.000, was a won derful canopied chair of pure gold encrusted with rules, sapphires and festoons of pearls, and ornamented with two great Jeweled peacocks'and a life-sized parrot cut from a single emerald. It was a fabulous work ot art and when it slipped out of sight after the death of the shah there was much speculation. Presumably a strand of pearls was lopped off here. a ruby pried off there, and the emer ald parrot cut into a number of less distinctive Jewels. Today a mere throne framework in Teheran pointed out uncertainly as the pea cock throne. The crown Jewels of Russia are sup posed to be slipping away in similar fashion. There was no word of any looting when the Kremlin in Moscow, where the glittering Jewels of royalty reposed, fell into the hands of the rev olutionists. The Kremlin has been guarded by the soviet government. The condition of the great collection of jewels in the royal treasury gal leries is veiled in mystery. Seuth African papers in close touch with the diamond trade state that 110.000.000 worth of stolen Russian diamonds were thrown on the jewel market in ten months In 1S21- and the crown jewel collection of Russia was particularly rich in diamonds. The diamond production industry has been seriously disturbed by the large number of these gems coming out of Russia, but now the situation is reported as more stable. Some South African mines that stopped producing to await a demand for their stones are at work again. Crown Jewels on the Market. That some of the Jewels which have so affected the international trade are from royal collection there is no doubt. For instance, a gem expert in this city. Mr. W. C. Shaw, had two snuff boxes from the royal possessions. "One of these snuff boxes." said Mr. Shaw, "bore the portrait in enamel of the grandfather of the late czar. This was the czar who was killed by a bomb while driving in his carriage not so many years ago. Around the portrait were concentric rings of diamonds. This snuff box was a gift to the czar and was made in France. The other box. of Rus sian workmanship, was oblong and made of purr, highly chased gold." These boxes have gone to swell the collections of American connoisseurs. Mr. Shaw explained that while very little is known of the fate of the Russian crown jewels, agents of the Soviet government are known to have sold jewels in Turkey, Holland, and other peaces. "Jewelry of wonderful workman ship." he said, "has been sold by peasants, in some cases, for ridiculous prices. A piece that was worth $100. 000 hag sometimes been sold for $50 in the first trade. Then, as it fell into the hands of experts the price would rapidly reach what might be called a normal, level. "The greatest part of the Jewels that have come from Russia lately have gone to London. Many dia monds, however, have been sent to Holland to be recut. There does not seem to have been any fear of pieces being identified. There was no special attempt to have the appearance changed. There was no need for the methods of a burglar in dealing with the property of departed royalty. "Moreover, the artistry of the Rus sian settings enhances the value of the gems. The niello work patterns of black alloyed metal on white and the beautfful enameling are too much admired to be recklessly destroyed. Stones Being Recut. "Pieces have been changed, rather, because the stones were what is known as old mine cutting. Nine tenths of the diamonds in old collec tions, like that of the Russian crown, are old mine cutting. That means that they were cut by hand, and the facets of a hand cut stone are neither so nv.merous nor so sharply cut as those of a stone cut by modern machinery. The machine cut stones with their mathematically correct facets are far more brilliant than these old dia monds. So, even tho recutting in volves a loss of about 20 per cent of a stone, the old diamonds must be re cut before they are desirable for the modern Jewelry trade." Mr. Shaw explained that the Rus sian crown jewel collection was con sidered the most tasteful collection of royal jewels in the -world, and prob ably the finest, except in pearls. "The Oriental strain which the Rus sians inherit from the Tartar invaders accounts for the Russian love for jew els." said Mr. Shaw. "It is a common trait in peasant and prince. The Rus sians of all classes have a way of sav ing their money by investing in Jew els, and the crown collection reprer sented the greatest expression of that Russian trait. "In pearls alone the Russian czars were not able to surpass other gem loving monarchs. Oriental rulers have always collected pearls as the gem most to be prized: so that the great value of the world's pearls is in the east. The late Rana of Dholpur. wearing his pearl regalia strings up on strings of gleaming, opalescent pearls represented $12,000,000 in gems, the result of a thousand, years patient collecting. Russia could not compete with this." The Russian crown Jewels made a more dazzling show, however, than the gem fortunes of any other nation. The 1.600 pieces in the crown collec tion included golden goblets, innumer able gold plates, some encrusted with gems, a chalice cut from a single great amethyst. Jewels of famous or ders. Tiaras, cpronets. necklaces and thrones, all blazing with the sparkle of rubies, sapphires, emeralds and dia monds were in the remarkable treas ure house. There were the crowns of the czars, notably that worn by Peter the Great. This crown was brilliantly ornamented with 900 diamonds, and had for its piece de resistance, a great ruby sur' mounted by a cross oi diamonds. The Sceptre of the Czars. The imperial sceptre waa another exhibit which commanded attention by its brilliancy even in that sparkling collection. This sceptre boasted the great Orloff diamond which had inl Europe only cne rival in size. Like many of the royal jewels, the Orloff diamond saw some strange sights. During all the years between coronations the regalia lay on its vel vet cushions in the throne room of the treasury. Only when a czar was to be crowned did the imperial sceptre come, into use. This diamond was added to the scepter by Catherine the Great who l received the diamond as a gift from a j courtier. Prince Orloff. The- first coronation after the diamond was j placed in the scepter was the most j gruesome in history. Catherine had Just died and her son-s was to tie crowned czar.

The Orloff diamond figured in numerous coronation ceremonies after that first strange memorial. Now it has entered upon a new chapter of its history. There is scarcely a chance that it will ever be carried by a czar again. Dorothy Dix Talks BT DOROTHY MX WrU'a irigfcae Paid Wraaa Wrttsc. What Shall Site Do, 2. When a woman finds out that she has lost her allure for a man; when he no longer thrills at her touch, or yearns for her presence; when he sees her as a burden upon his back instead of the object of his desire, then she is wise if she kisses love goodby, and nails the coffin down over its face, and goes about seeking her happiness in some other direction, instead of wasting time vainly trying to galvan ize a corpse Into some semblance of life. Of course it is true that if a woman ij Job-like enough .to wait patiently thru the years, keeping the home fires burning, the wandering husband may come back at last to have his rheuma tism nursed in his old age, but he isn't worth waiting for, and a woman should do something better with her life than make of it a house of refuge for a dilapidated old rounder. "But what shall I do?" asks the woman. "I don't want a divorce." Yet it seems to me that the only thing that a woman can do under the Circumstance is to sell her husband a divorce, and to make him buy his freedom of her at the very highest price that she can possibly wring out of him. And get cash on the nail. Unless a man has real estate it is practically impossible to collect ali mony. There are a hundred ways in which he can avoid paying that, and. besides, she saves friction if she has don; with him. once and for all. The man who is tired enough of his w-ife to tell her so; and that he wants to be rid of her, will pay all that he can for his freedom, and prudence, as well as pride, should make her close out her interest in him. as making the best of a bad bargain. She had as well face the facts that her matrimon ial partnership is bankrupt, anyway, and that she -had better salvage what she can. Then let her turn her back upon the best and start a new life. Let her take stock of her own capabilities and develop what seems to her her most promising talent. No woman can live to be middle aged-without discovering that she has an aptitude for some one particular line of Work, or developing a special interest in some particular subject. Sewing, running a boarding house, keeping lodgers, raising chickens, cr pigs, or flowers, all of these open up profitable avenues of occupation to the middle-aged woman wKo is too old to become a bookkeeper er stenographer or clerk, and who has no gift for the professions. And the deserted wife who cuts the Gordian knot by definitely breaking off relationship with her husband who wants to be rid of her. will find that there is a great peace in finality. The ining is ena-ja. She is ho longer tor tured by watching and waiting for his I return. Jri is insults have ceased to stair her. ahe is no more a cringing no;r begging for a kind word. She has regained her self-respect and dig nity by brg with people who want her. instead of a hanger-on of one who was tired of her. There are so many things in the world for women besides love. Two of them are work and money, and they are a pretty good substitute for a renegade husband. (Copyright, 1922. by the Wheeler Syn dicate Inc.) George Matthew Adams Daily Talk THE JOY OF I.IFI;.

Most of us crush the flowers of our lives before they come to their bloom and fragrance, simply by not remem bering that joy is for us first of all. And joy is everywhere! Before all else we must draw it into our hearts and give it a regular place there. Joy wants to come in wherever it will be appreciated. How stimulating it is how rare in its simplicity and expression! If you have Joy within you. you un derstand what the stir of life means, and you know what to look for to satisfy your soul. Joy that is Aroused by beauty, that is stimulated by work and service, that keeps growing more wonderful under the spur of laughter, kindness and Justice. Joy that rises eut of the ground after the fresh shower. Joy that gilds the coat of the ground when the sun kisses the earth thru parted clouds. Joy that comes from having done your best- Jr-y that dances from the petals and leaves of the flowers and gives shade from trees. Joy that runs about hunting out people. The joy of life. Just glad because you are here and are given a chance at something. And what Joy is possible in recrea tion, in sport and the out-of-doors, in study and reading, in travel. Also the Joy we get from our friends, in trying each day to understand them Just a little better and just a littie deeper. Joy will be with you if you remem ber that it is here that it is every where you go. But you must take it and give it! Evening Story Midas's Understudy. BT MARTHA McC. WILLIAMS. Emotionally Elinor ran on high, but oniv emotionally. in oenavior whose jargon was incomprehensible to folk of decent common sense full of The Now, Upforthlngs, Aware nesses and such. What could be understood by a wayfaring man was that the cult held it the whole duty of man, eke of wo man, to give all the money in both pockets to the spreading of the mys tic creed. There was the rub. Elinor had a tidy competence, one that might serve as the cornerstone to fortune, provid ed it and herself were but proper ly husbanded. The apostle apparent ly had elected himself to the improper husbanding of both. Yet tho The Larger Humanity was his favorite text, appeals however poignant to humanity, common or garden variety, found him as resistant as a duck's back to rain. But. he had nbt quite succeeded in insulating Eli nor from the electric current of pity for starving children. She was among the first to give a sum everybody knew she ought not to afford for fam ine relief. But no friend protested, not even her trusty some time guar dian, now her trustee inarticulately all felt that what the famine relief got was so much saved from apostolic greed. To say that her largesses peeved the apostle. Lorenzo-Magna-iey oy name, is putting the case more than mildly. Deeply as he grudged and sorrowed for the money, he was worse dis turbed to find himself not quite her absolute conscience. He dared not show that openly. Instead, he said sor rowfully, haste in such giving was un wise. She ought to have let some friend investigate for her he himself would have done it. failing anybody else. There Elinor broke in, her cheeks hot, her eyes shining with: "Starvation does not wait to be investigated. If I have saved even one poor baby, I shall be glad and if the money does no good, giving it at least acquits my conscience I have done what I could." "A lovely thought!" murmured the doubly hypenated one, feeling that he had gone too far. "We hope you believe what you say, Bahawdur." Tommy Samson said be hind the apostolic presence. Tommy had spent two years in India hence his cant name for the apostle. ''Prove that you do believe." Tommy ran on: "Lots of folk are pining to see and hear you. If you'll let us the relief committee, you know we'll fix it so you can speak in the Town Hall at $5 a throw, and every xent to go to the famine fund." "Impossible! Simply impossible!" protested the Bahawdur. "Why impossible?" cried Elinor tremulously. He answered pompously. "I dare not vulgarize anything so sacred as my mission. It. in a way, consecrates my poor human self can I let myself become the target of curiosity?" "You do it for your own benefit," Tommy flung in nonchalantly. "Be a sport, general come across in this ex cellent cause. If you don't well, something may happen something you won't like one little bit." "Tommy, there are limits to even friendly jesting." Elinor broke in with quiet dignity that made Tommy sigh more than ever to shield and save her. Sticking out his chin belligerently he flung back. "No jest; I'm in dead earnest. But there are jokes in busi ness very big ones. For example- in- come .lax returns some of 'em wheeling upon the apostle. "Say, Swami. have you put in yours? Re member, you can deduct what you contribute to charity. If you don't want to make a holy showof your self you can likely save money and trouble by contributing enough to bring you down a peg or so." "Income tax!" the new Swami scoffed. "Man, you know earthly laws do not touch- me 'If it weren't so impolite I'd say you were a liar." Tommy answered, his hands clinching. "And prove it into the bargain. But I don't yearn to make myself a nuisance. I repeat be a Bport and come across, hand somely. You will, if you are wise, as you should be." Deliberately, without a word, the apostle turned hia back, walked away; at the top of the steps he was almost running, nor did he slack speed until he was in his waiting car. It had been Elinor's a fine, small electric. As it sped him away Tommy, breathing hard, said thru clenched teeth: "Nell, I wish you only knew how hard I'm thinking damn." Tommy left town that night on a mysterious errand to the city four hundred miles away. Elinor was un easy over his absence he had been for so long a part of her everyday consciousness even the apostle had not washed him from her life. The apostle was uneasier still, but masked it with deeper mysteries of doctrine, more savage devoutness In privations, greater length of devotions. After three days he told his neo phite needs must they both go into a silence neither speak nor listen to any but inner voices for two days and nights. Full of unquiet wonder. Eli nor obeyed thru half the allotted time. But upon the second morning she saw so strange a group discharged by a big limousine at her door she could not refuse Tommy's insistent summons: "Come down and see what I've brought you." She found Tommy, her trustee, a strange uniformed person, plus the apostle, fronting her in the b:; hall. "Now you can explain Swami," Tom my said Jauntily, "about those depos its in bank and things especially the last big. check from Miss Gray." This is an outrage. You should recognize I am beyond earthly law the apostle began. Tommy interrupt ed: "Old stuff! I told you it didn't go not with Uncle Sam nor his fam ily. Speak -up! Tell us what yoa are in truth!" "A fructifying bough of the over soul." cried the apostie. "You you earthlings cannot understand. Only she." turning imploringly to Elinor. I "Let me speak with her alone. I can make her see the truth." i "We see it already." said the trus- tee. Tommy gave hinr a silencing g'.ance, saying before Elinor could speak: "Seems to us earthlings. Swam, you're more than fructifying, and pretty much the whole tree or this over-soul. Judging by your bank ac- count this last year or so your drafts I and things to headquarters you're a fair understudy for old friend Midas. Most of your work has been fine real artistry. Must be I scared you into undertaking anything so coarse as plain forgery, on the edge of running away." The apostle made a break for lib erty, but the uniformed one stayed bis flight. Tommy and the trustee looked pityingly at Elinor she was so white, so shaken, they feared she would faint. Instead she rallied gallantly and heard calmiy their explanation. Tommy, by help of city friends, had found out the apostle's secretest transactions. He had fleeced many people mostly rich and lone women out of much money, transmitting it. thru safe yet secret channels to headquarters, whose in definite purposes might well be set down bad. Fearing exposure, he had planned a great stroke forged Elinor's name for more than all her fortune, depending on the silence to get away with It. After that she could do no less than marry Tommy and live happily. (Copyright. 1922. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BQCX BT fSTH r APB.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS WrlHen for The State Journal BY lOLtZABETH THOMPSON"" Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man of 25. I married a widow with one child a year old. I am not satisfied. My wife will not associate with my folks because she says they axe deceitful. They didn't want me to marry her and said I could find a single girl without a child to support. I am of a quiet disposition and my wife is the opposite. She is good-looking and a stylish dresser. She has a bad tem per, but I never argue with her. I feel as tho I should have listened to my sisters and waited and raised a. family of my own instead of support ing another man's child. Do you think I could divorce her, and on what grounds? She doesn't care much for me and says I like my folks too well. She is a good cook and housekeeper, but somehow I feel as tho I made a mistake. Could she sue me for alimony for her child? Should I leave my sisters alone, or should I take their advice? NOT SATISFIED. You have no grounds to sue your wife for divorce, and if you tried she would probably defend her case and secure alimony for herself. The law would not require you to support the child, but you would have to support your wife, since she has not given you a real reason for divorce. It does not seem to me you are giv ing your wife a fair chance. It is no wonder she refuses to go to your peo ple, since thev are so opposed to her and do everything possible to prejudice you. I believe if you spend more time Questions Answers O. Whore waa tbe first agricultural ex periment station located la ttaia country? J. K. A.

ON SECOND THOUGHT BY JAZ L HOUSB (From Philadelphia Public Ledger.) "The president," writes one of the lads who accompanied the party south, "made out his income tax return be fore he left, so that troublesome mat ter will not interfere with his vaca tion. There is, we contend, no ele ment of news in the statement that the president made out hjs income tax report. Naturally, he would. What we wont to know what everybody wants to know is, did he pay it in a lump or take advantage of the in stallment provision? Reporting, we go on to say, isn't what it was when we were regularly on the Job. vV'e have a polite letter from the lady who rallied to hear us talk the other afternoon because she wanted, if possible, to find out why they pay us money for our regular act. She thinks there is no mind in sex and that there was nothing feminine in her speculative excursion. Well, maybe not. We don't profess to be able to discuss any subject learn edly. But we don't believe there is a man in the world wb.o would go to that much trouble to learn whether an itinerant performer were worth the money his employer paya him for his act. That ought to start an argument. It might develop into a row, and we are sorely in need of a row with which to give this column grace. We are not much concerned with the present row in New York as to whether stage people will some day refuse to appear in indecent produc tions. There are more important things much nearer at hand. A de vice by which sterling actors such as Bruce McRae and H. Reeves Smith could be immediately rescued from plays of the type of "The Gold Dig ger" seems to us to be much more to tbe point. Plans for a National Wilson club, composed of all persons named Wil son, who are supporters of former President Wilson, have been made. Of course, it is none of our business, but may we ask what for? Pending reply to the inquiry, we of fer the suggestion that a National Wilson club. composed of those named "Smith" or "Jones," would be able to recruit a much larger mem bership. There are cries for the author of the pian. If Mr. Franklin D. Roose velt is in the audience, will he kindly stand up? They may be calling him. Why should the Socialists hold a convention? We haven't the remotest idea. But we suspect something needs fixing, and that the Socialists are go ing to attend to the matter. The Whispering Post. W. A. F. Thank you for the invita tion.

"Your suggestion," writes a custo mer, "that Wadsworth Camp kill off the characters in his novels was well taken; but he hasn't done it. I have been reading his most recent contri bution to fiction in its serial form. Every snob and bally ass in his reper-. toire survive in it." Of course, when we found we didn't like Mr. Camp's first novel we should have tried to get his job. But, as a matter of fact, all we did was to stop reading his stuff.

Jack's intuitions were correct as far as Helen was concerned. She was determined to have whatever she wanted of Mrs. Layton's furnishings, and talked "continually about it. drag ging Jack, an unwilling victim, to j look at them, while Mr. and Mrs. Lay- ton stood by telling her how delighted they were to let their tilings go to friends. "I believe in letting them have first choice at such a time," Mrs. Layton remarked to Jack who mumbled some sort of reply; while Helen, exclaimed over their kindness. Jack wondered how much Helen owed Mrs. Layton he had forgotten the card debt for a day or two. It couldn't be much or she wouldn't be so anxious they take her things. "How much did you borrow of Mrs. Layton to pay your club debt?" he asked when they returned to their own apartment having decided noth ing, but with Helen's promise to Mrs. Layton to let her know in a day or two just what .they would take. "Borrow of Mrs. Layton? Why I haven't borrowed anything." "Then who let you have tho money?" he longed to say to pay your gambling debts' but when he called her card playing 'gambling Helen always became angry. "Mr. Barnes let me have it!" Helen reddened as she replied, but her tono was belligerent. "What? You "Didn't I speak plainly Mr. Barnes heard me talking tf it that night von stayed out having a good time without me, and he insisted upon lending it to me." "How much was it?" Jack's voice was icy cold, and so quiet Helen look ed up rather frightened. But as usual her manner lost none of its impudent heedlessness. 1 "Only $.28." Jack had drawn $35 from the gen eral agent. Five of that he had al ready given Helen.- and had spent about a dollar himself for car-fare But without a word to her he sat down at his desk and started to write. Helen came and looked over his shoulder, uneasy, yet determined to hide it. She read: "My Dear Barnes: My wife tells me the very foolishly allowed you to advance her money to pay a gam bling debt. She knows I disapprove of gambling her only reason, for being so imprudent. I enclose the amount and shall be obliged, if in the future, you refrain from repeat ing what you hove done. Yours, Jack Hunter." "What a nasty note!" "Not half as nasty as what you have lore." Jack was keeping a strong hold on himself. His first aim was to get that debt to Barnes repaid; then he would talk to Helen. "I doo't see how you figure I have been nasty. I asked you for tho money, you refused to give it to me. One of my friends loaned it and you kick up a fuss and write a horrid nole. It was your fault, not mine that I had to, borrow." "I expected you to sav that! I have been waiting to hear it," he returned, ringing for a messenger boy. "This is to be left whether the gen tleman is in or not. Take a receipt," he said to the messenger boy when he arrived. Then, as the door closed after the boy, he turned to Helen. "I wonder if you realise what you have done?-' he looked at her almost is if she were a stranger as tho he saw her for the first time. "I haven't done anything to make a fuss over! Other women borrow." "Married women good women who love their husbands don't borrow of other men. They not only belittle that, husbands by doing so, but give th man who lends to them n idea that they are not good women." "Don't you dare say I am not good. Jack Hunter!" Honest indignation in her voice. "I believe you are good, Helen, now. But how long you will be is a question if you go on as you are doing. Men want their pay sooner or later." "I intended to pay him Just as soon as my luck changed." "He didn't car whether you paid him or not; probably told you not to worry about it I thought so," as Helen reddened again. "He's rich, what is $28 to him and he's our friend." "Not mine! And after this not yours! I mean it, Helen. You can have nothing more to do with him." (Tomorrow A serious quarrel for Jack.)

AN AIR PORT HEAR Kansas City Lays Flans for At tracting riane Routes. "ow Builds to Become Center of Plains OTerhead Traffic Kir.u fitv. Mo.. March. 14. Kan sas City, in the center of future air- panes east and west and nortn ana puth. will become a prominent air port this summer. The first step has Just been taken. ih iMsinz of a landins; field, ninety acres in extent, a great level plain ample to meet an requirtmenwiui k. hiPct .nrf fastest cruisers of the air. The field Is the same tract used last fall for the big- flying meet neiu in connection with the American Le gion convention. It was nothing but an emergency field then, but in spite of this over 100 airplanes u?ed the fie'.d during the meet, more than 3.000 passengers were carried, a full pro gram of speed and ytunt events was mi-ried out daily, and yet not an ac cident occurred. The Legion air meet proved an awakening for thi3 city to the needs of air navigation, and the city will shortly be placed on aeronautical maps as having one of the finest fields and airports in the country. Commercial air lines between Kan sas City and Chicago and Kansas City and Denver are already projected, and it is expected that other lines will pro vide air transportation from the city of Tulsa, Okla.. and points south. If the United States aero mail lines are extended mail planes will tap the cross continental air-mail route at WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF WASHBURN? No man in 1865, when Washburn college was founded, foresaw the development it has attained. The Washburn of today is a greater Washburn than the founders ever dreamed. The first Washburn consisted of a single building, three instructors and a handful of students. In 1870 the enroll ment had increased to Ihirty. Today Washburn has nearly 1,000 students there were 946 in 1921 a dozen buildings and half a hundred instructors. Today Washburn ranks high in scholarship among the colleges of the country. It is recognized by associations whose purpose is preservation of scholastic standards. What will the future Washburn be? Few of us can descry the future better than our fathers did. But those who know Washburn best love Washburn best and see the clearest visions. "I want Washburn to take the place in the West that Yalo and Harvard hold in the East." Those are the words of Ike Kendall. You know him as a plucky, clean-fighting football player. The college knows him also as president of the student council, elected by the stu dents to represent them in college affairs. "Properly supported, Washburn can become a college of 2.500 students. In a few years we could add 1,000 more out-of-town students if we had facilities to care for them." Those are the words of the college president, Dr. P. P. Womer. What is there to justify the faith of the student and the college president Many things, but more than anything else, the location of Washburn in Topeka, and the type of its organization. A college located in the capital of Kansas is not like other schools. Its environment is a laboratory of government and political science. The state house i3 a laboratory, backed by the resources of Kansas, at the disposal of Washburn at all times. The Washburn student learns from men who know. Washburn law school demonstrates what can be done with such opportunities. Its students read in the state library. A justice of the state supreme court and a judge of the district court are members of its faculty. The United States district court, the supreme court of Kansas, the Shawnee county dis trict court and all kinds of minor courts known to the laws of Kansas sit here, where their practice can be observed. Topeka has other resources of which other departments can avail themselves. Students of engineering have great machine shops and industrial plants under their eyes. Topeka is the financial capital of Kansas. The student of economics can learn banking from bankers. Topeka has great newspapers, morning and evening, daily and weekly, ready to help the student journalist to learn his craft. There is hardly a department In the college which does not derive from its location advantages available in few other cities. What is the type of Washburn's organization? Washburn belongs to the type which shows the highest development among higher educational institutions of the United States. Like Yale and Harvard, Amherst and GrinnelL Washburn is a Christian college, founded on Puritan tradition. Like them, it is independent, self-governing, free from sectarian or political control. There are some fifty colleges of that type among the S00 and more Christian colleges of the United Slates. Washburn aims to develop character as well as intellect. It teaches ideals as well as acts. It believes that every student deserves the personal atten tion of his instructor. That is the type cf college to which the future offers even greater opportunities than the present does.

MANY VANTJOBS IN TOPEKA Topeka Schools Are Popular With Teachers of Kansas. The Topeka schools appear to be very popular with the school teaAers of Kansas and the middle west. A.. J. Stout, superintendent of schools, is re ceiving from five to ten applications daily from teachers desiring positions tor the fall term. "I think some are sowing applica tions like a farmer sows wheat, be cause they know nothing of schedules, salaries, or vacancies, and they are ad dressing the letters to the superinten dent of schools," says Superintendent Stout. The personnel of the staff In the city schools changes only about 10 pr cent in a year. Topeka Is at a dis advantage as the Instructors are se lected in May. The majority of the schools select, their instructors earlier in the year. This may be changed if the board of education sees fit to do so. There are now 294 instructors In the city schools.

To that. end they are to give an en tertainment at the city auditorium on the evening of March 24 for the pur pose of raising funds to secure a radio set. The cost of the installation will be about 1250. Admission to the entertainment vill be free, and a collection for the fund will be taken up at the door.

U. 6IELS CANT DO IT Neil Berger Budget Only One Half Enough for ITniversdty Co Eda. Report Shows. Columbia, Mo., March 14. Few girls at the University of Missouri will agree that the $87.55 budget recently offered by Miss Nell Berger of Topeka for a working girl's annual wardrobe is sufficient for them. A survey recently made of the ex penses for clothing during a school year reveals that the average is nearer double the amount mentioned than anything else. One woman student believed she would need about $22 5, while another considered $30O to $3S0 an exceedingly conservative estimate. The lowest figure naaned in any in stance was $125, and .the girt making it added, as she donned a mink coat, that such a garment was not provided for in the budget. Figures submitted by a few girls, who made their estimates on the basis of past expenditures, were somewhat lower, altho the 'minimum in these figures was $141.75. This amount in cluded two pairs of shoes, two hats, gloves, lingerie, a winter coat, a silk dress, two serge dresses. which, the wearer would make herself, and sev eral ging"ham dresses and middies. Most of the girls questioned had no idea of what their clothes had cost during the past year. In connection with this investigation it was found that $280,090 a year, or an average of $80 for each student in the university, is spent for picture shows, refreshments and candy. This, as can be noted, is nearly as much as the. Topeka budget would allow the working girl for all her clothes In a year. AG BIUj PASSES HOUSE.

INTO EDISON RATE Matter Is Threshed Out by C. of C. Directors. Albert Patten and A. H. Furdr Guests of Board. CAN SUPPLY ALL NEEDS Equipment Purchased to Supply Ample Power. Matter of Rates for Topeka In dustrles Is Discussed. The question of whether the Topeka Edison company is attic to supply to th industries of Topeka adequate electric power for the dem-Ads, pres ent and anticipated, of the city, and at ft reasonable rate, was thrashed out before the board of directors of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce at the regular directors' meeting at noon to day. Albert 1 Patten, general" manager of the interests of the Illinois Traction company in Kansas, and A. H. Purdy, manager of the Topeka Edison com pany, were present as the guests of the board, and presented the argument of the iower company to the directors. AWc to Sup-ply All Need". "The Topeka Edison company is at the present time able to supply needs of power in the city. We have purchased, and have on the ground, auxiliary engine units which will sup ply ample power. There is an expert in Topeka at the present time, ready to supervise the installation of these inits. Patten said to the directors. "If there were to come to Topeka any large industry. with a huge call for power, we would be able to install new niHchinery and me the call before it USE "TE" FOR SORE, TIRED, ACHING FEET t;"Md-bye, sore feet, swollen f r t. sweaty le'-t, tire I feel. Oood-byo. come. burning feet, feet, smelling callouses, bullions and raw. spots. No more- shoe tightness, no more limping with pain or drawing up your face in agony.

A year's font comfort guaran ty! or nvmev refunded. Adv. 0k could possibly be ready for the power itself," Patten said. He pointed out that the most effi cient production of electrical energy must come thru -a condensing plant with an almost unlimited aourco of water supply, making it necessary for the plant to install its own pipe line to the river. The original franchise of the company, grranted by the city government, prohibited any such pipe line, and makes it necessary for the energy to be produced at a higher cost, with a. "simple" or non-condensing pfant, and to use city water thru mtr the vear. Klimination of the non-condensihg plant now in use would mean the elimination of the heat which is fur nished to business establishments in the business district in the form of exhaust steam. Patten pointed out. He vigorously asserted the Maim that the Edison company is able and ready to take care of any power call which Topeka is likely to make. The matter of rates for Topeka in- dustries was taken up by Patten and Purdv tOKether. mestic rates was not discussed, since there has been no question raised as to the Justice of the domestic rates. Patten pointed out that the power problem in Topeka includes service to a majority of consumers who belong in the lisht load class not heavy users of power. He stated that in comparison with the rates In three other cities which he quoted, the To peka rates are lower for the smaller industries which make up the majority of the users of power here, and higher for the heavy power users. Purdy Presents Figures. Purdy presented figures drawn up on an actual plant in Topeka. using the rates and the power bills of that company for comparison.

RED PEPPER FOR COLDS IN CHEST Ease your tight, aching chest. Stop the pain. Break up tho congestion. Keel a bad cold loosen up in just a short time. "lied Pepper Rub" is the cold rem edy that brings quickest relief. It annul hurt you and it certainly seems to end the tightness and drive the congestion and soreness right out. Nothing has such concentrated, penetrating heat as red peppers, and when heat penetrates right down into colds, congestion, aching muscles and sore, stiff Joints relief comes at once. The moment you aiH'ly Ked Pepper Hub you feel the tingling heat. In three minutes the congested spot is warmed through and through. When you are suffering from a cold, rheu matism, backache, stiff neck or sore muscles, just get a jar of Rowles Red Pepper Rub, made from 'red peppers, at any drug store. You will have the Ulllokeftt reef known. Adv. nvluh a plant rated at about 180 lavet horsepower connected loan, with about 90 horsepower aemanu, jopexas rate were less than the rates obtainable in Kansas City. Mo-, Kansas City. Kan., or Wichita. Using the actual consumption of power by the Topeka plant, Purdy showed that the saving amounted to more than 1100 per year In every case. The bills for the year 1920 were taken first. The bills of the T6peka Edison company to the Topeka firm for that year amounted to $2,376. On the "general power rate" of the Kansas City, Mo., the bill would have been $3,784, or $1,408 greater; or te "off peak" rate, under which the company would not have been allowed to use power during the "peak period of demand during the day, the Kan sas City. Mo., rate would have been $2,033. or $65 greater; under the "on peak" rate, the bill would have been $4,636, or greater by $2,260 than the bill the Topeka company paid. In 1921. the differences in favor of the Topeka Edson company s rate for the power user would have been; $743 on the general power rate, over the $2,243 which the Topeka com pany actually paid for power during that year; $599 on the "off peak rate and $2,111 on the "on peak" rate, A Groat Saving. In 1920, compared with the rates from the Kansas City. Kan., plant, the savings would also ha,ve been great. Patten pointed out that on account of natural conditions, demand and lo cation, the plants at Kansas City and Wichita could be operated at a far greater efficiency than in Topeka, and that therefore the contrast is more strik ing. The power bills of the Topeka com pany cited, in 1920, under the Kansas City. Kan., company's dates, would have been $2,678, instead of $2,376. a saving of $302. In 1921. the company would have saved exactly $50. In comparison with the rates of the Kansas Gas Electric company, at W4chita, the saving would have been $504 in 1920 and $135 in $121. Patten indicated that there is be ing contemplated a revision of the rates of the company on industrial power in Topeka. and asked that the new rate card, when it has been com pleted be checked over by the board of directors of the Chamber of Com merce. It was stated that a commit tee possessing more technical familiar ity with rote making procedure than the directors possess, will be appointed from the membership, to check over the new rate card. DEATHS AND FUNERALS The opinion of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce directors on the immigra tion restrictions and practice of th United States is. to be expressed to the senators and representatives of this state, in a letter which the direc tors authorized to be mailed, today, following their regular meeting. The Chamber of Commerce of Sa Hna, as well as similar organizations elsewhere in the state, has asked the Topeka Chamber of Commerce to for ward its opinion of proposed The question of do-I and requested immigration legislation 10 w asmngton. The letter which is to be sent from the Topeka Chamber of Commerce was drawn by Colonel John S. Dean, and was endorsed by the directors to day. The statement of the directors holds that the immigration to the United States which has occurred during thC past twenty years has seriously and injuriously affected the stndards of citizenship of this country, and that "we believe no foreign immigrants should be hereafter admitted into this country who are not racially capable of development into at least as good citizens as the average American of today." The Chamber of Commerce officials also believe that all prospective immi grants should be examined before they embark for this country, by ar agency establinhed by the government, and that steamships should not be allowed to bring immigrants without certifi cates of having passed this examina tion, to the shores of this country. "We believe further." says the letter, that immigration should be strictly limited to conform to the opportun ities offered in this country and that none be admitted to swell the num bers of those engaged in any occupa tion already overcrowded here." DARKENED HER GRAY HAIR Tells "Tow She DM It With a Home Made Remedy. Mrs. E. 1L Boots, a well Icnowrl res ident of Buchanan county. Iowa, who ilarkened her gray hair, made the fol lowing statement; Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray or faded hair, and make it soft and glossy with this simple rem edy, which they can mix at home.

HAROLD RANKIN PLEADS GCILTY Owner of Big Dairy Fined $10 Watered Milk Charge. Harold X. Rankin, owner of the Rankin Dairy farm and one of the larg-efit Guernsey herds in the state, pleaded guilty to the police court Mon day afternoon on- two counts to selling watered milk and milk below the standard required by tho pure food department. He was fined $10 on each count. Rankin was arrested on complaint made by Dr. G. W. Hill, city food inspector, a few days ago. Doctor Hill said he had witnesses who had seen water poured into the milk. Rankin's explanation was to the ef fect that in order to take care of some of his wholesale trade he found it necessary to buy milk from another dairy. This supply, he says, was watered.

For in the person of Jascha Heifetz we made the acquaintance or an unques tioned g-enius of the violin. One hard ly knows which to stress most, the al most flawless accuracy of the left hand, the marvelous bow technique, or the rich, warm beauty of the tone. He ia a virtuosi in the true sense of the word. Nothing- seems difficult for him. always accomplished with such ease. In the most rapid passages, the tone never loses its distinctive quality, while the "double-stops" are appar ently mere child's play for him. His knowledge of the various styles is comprehensive and exact. He was noble and dipnified In the Bruch Con certo, sufficiently capricious in the Hondo of Saiat-Saens, and each of the smaller numbers forming- the last two groups was a gem of its own particu lar penre. He had an enormous and instantaneous success with his audi ence. After his second number the recalls were very insistent but an en core was denied until the third num ber. The Sarasate Tarantelle. which elosed the program, was a veritable "tour de force." The "On Wings of Song-" by Mendelssohn, which was given as an encore after the last group, was a beautiful example of sus tained cantilena playing, double-stopping, and polyphony on the violin. All credit to Henry J". Dotterweich for enabling us to make the acquaint ance of this sterling artist and for the magnificent series which we have en joyed this winter. Next year's series promises even better and more bril liant things. H. V. S. While the rain poured on the roof of the city auditorium last evening the large number of people who were for tunate enough to hear Heifetz en joyed a treat such as is seldom avail able. They expressed their apprecia tion in no faltering manner, altho they succeeded in obtaining only two encores from this young wizard. The Bruch Concerto, which was the opening number, is usually as hard for the audience.-to comprehend as it is for the artist to convey palatably. Aa Heifetz played it, it remained such in the first two movements. The last movement, however. Was done with authoritative command of a mastery over all the difficulties It offers to a degree of giving it new meaning. The Hondo Capricioso, by Saint Saens, was beautiful. The varied pul sations infused by the composer were skillfully detected and convincingly interpreted. In group three Heifetz displayed some of hif best playing-. The Chopin K minor Nocturne, tho in parts a little impaired by lack of poetic in terpretation, was exceedingly well treated. The Dance No. 7 in A Ma jor by Brahms was in my judgment the most musicianly played number of the entire program. Heifetz dis played more temperament and artis tic understanding in this number than in any of the rest. The Perpetual Motion number by Riess was exe cuted brilliantly but with less marked rhythmic accentuation than one expects from Heifetz. His bowing became a witchery such as I doubt has ever been witnessed on sv concert stage in Topeka. The last number on 'the program. Introduction and Tarantelle by ra sa te, is a welt knewn piece of violin music and is unfortunately attempted by too many people who are not equal to the demands on technical excel lence for its rendition. Heifetz took the Tarantelle at such terrific soeed and played it so brilliantly that it was nearly bewildering to his hearers. yet to him it seemed easy and almost a few momenta toying. This, young man has a marvelous bow arm. There seems to be no con trivable motion thru which he cannot maneuver with ease. Eastern critics have gone so far as to acclaim this artist the greatest of the day and I am inclined to think some of them went on a jag when they proclaimed this without reservations. For among virtuosi like Heifetz, Kreisler, Elman and a few others. It is difficult to isolate any one as superior to the others, excepting perhaps in some par ticular individual way. On the whole comparisons are not wisely chosen. Heifetz for instance has no doubt ai4 unexcelled bow,arm but he does not get the appealingly human, or "voice of the" heart kind of 4on which Kreisler does, ncr is his tone as fulf of throbbing langor at time, as that of Elman. The difference lies in the fact that Heifetz is a child and the other artists .have had ripe experience in climbing the ladder of life, sharing the joys and sorrows common to all which make even artists bigger, kinder and more eloquent. In the years to come Heifetz will get his share and I have no doubt that his greatness will then be -more illustrious. DANIEL MtLLER.

Want Lower Charges on Sand, Gravel and Stone. Ellis Ix-uis ;arrctoii Headed Xortli American Shrlners In 1020. Tacoma, March 14. Ellis Lewis Garretson, in 1920 imperial potentate of the order of the Mystic Shrine of North America, died suddenly this morning at his suburban home here. A hearing of considerable Interest to contractors, builders and to shippers of sand, gravel and stone, is to be held in Kansas Gity, March 21, when the Western Trunk Lines committee of railway executives meets to decide on a revision of the freight rates on sand, gravel and stone in Kansas and western Missouri. The proposal is to initiate in Kansas and western Missouri what is known as the "Nebraska mileage system" of computing rates. The Nebraska sys tem is based strictly on mileage. At the present time the rates in Kansas and Missouri are based on a grouping system. The rates which it is pro posed to Initiate will affect intrastate traffic in Kansas and western Mis souri, and interstate traffic between points in the two districts. E. H. Hogueland, commofce counsel of the Topeka Traffic association, will attend the hearing to argue against the installaticn of the new rates; "The new rates would not mean a general reduction or rates on the contrary, in many cases, there would be an in crease in the rates," Hogueland says. "Another bad feature of the pro posal is that it tends to create an op portunity for a monopoly. Under the present group system, where the rates arc the same from several producers to several consumers, competition ex ists and keeps the price of the com modities down. Under the straight mileage basis there would be a chance for a monopoly. "The plan would tear the heart out of the system of adjustments which we have built up in Kansas." BULGARIA REGRETS BOMBING.

The city commission this morning in reg-ular session settled a bone cf contention which has been agitating that body to a certain extent, for some months the acquisition of the land at the foot of Topeka boulevard on which one of the city water wells has been drilled, belonging; to F. W. Klasse. The city first passed an ordinance condemning a tract ot ground twenty five feet square, on which the well is located. The report of the apprais ers appointed, was rejected by the commission. Then an ordinance was passed pro viding for the condemnation of a larger tract including seven lots. The appraisers report was rejected on ac count of an error in its preparation. Klasse submitted this morning a written proposal to the city for the lease of the twenty-five foot tract on which the well is drilled, at a monthly rental of $7.50, the lease to hold for fifty years, unless the city sees fit to cancel it after two years of occupar tion. The proposal was accepted by the city commission and the mayor was authorized to sign the lease. Indicted for Alleged False Sales. St. Louis, March 14. George X.

With out orsranie iron, both food and Vitarainee are absolutely useless, as your body cannot chansra inert, lifeless food into living cells and tissue unless you have plenty of orsranie iron in your blood. Organic iron takes up oxygen from your lungs. This oxygenated organic iron unites with your digested food as it is absorbed into your blood just as fire unites with coal or wood, and by so doing it creates tremendous power and energy. Without organic iron in your blood your food merely passes thru your body with out doing you any good.
