Genoa, May 2. Proposals con tained in the forthcoming memoran dum from the allied governments to Russia are final, according to high officials of both the British .Hid .French delegations. "Take it or leave it" is their attitude, it was explained, but if it is not accepted, Russia's rec ognition was said to be hopeles?. (Uy the Associated Press.) Genoa. May 2.

Reuter's correspondent here says Rnian deleeation to the econom ic conference also flatly denied having, made any concession to tne fcneu in terests. Leonid Krassin. the Russian soviet trade expert, admitted however, that the Shell interests, the Royal Butch and the Anglo-Persian companies had been negotiating with the soviet au thorities who, he said, opposed the principle of any kind of concession and certainly would not agree to one of general character. The soviet government, he said, might agree to a local concession but a grant even of that character would be made only when the soviet govern ment had been recognized. M. Krassin added that the Standard Oil company had not made any offer. London. May 2.

The concession may be renewed by mutual consent. Oct a 50 Per Cent Profit. Fifty per cent of the net profits will be allotted to the soviet govern ment ami the other 60 per cent to the Shell group. The working of the oil fields will be administered by the British com panies under the provisions of the Russian juil leal code and the pro viso that not more than 50 per cent of the workers employed shall be for eigners. The correspondent under stands that the Shell combine has ar ranged to apply the agreement almost Immediately to the Caspian fields and also to velop the vast potential fields in Uralsk province. Kraraln a Real Diplomat. Leonid Krassin. the soviet minister of trade and commerce, signed the agreement at the Hotel de Genes, the decision to sign being reached, says the dispatch, only ufter the Russians on several occasions had played the various groups against one another to obtain better offers for the privileges. involving millions of pounds worth of output from oil fields which, -next to those of the United States, are the most prolific in the world. It is more than possible, adds the correspondent, that difficult compli cations may result over the working of important areas in which the Stan dard Oil company had concessions prior to the soviet nationalization of the fields.

Actlntr upon orders of County Prosecutor Ed ward C. Stanton, Coroner A. P. Ham mond was expected today to exhume the body of a man buried here and to examine it for traces of poison, which if found is expected to result in the prosecution of a woman for a series of murders committed for 111,000 insurance. The post-mortem examination was ordered following the questioning of ther woman who is being held in coun ty jail on charges which have no con nection with the murders. The wo man under suspicion is known to have been married fiv times and recently is said to have acquired her sixth hus band. Several of her husbands, it is al leged, were reported by her to have died of accidental poisoning, and in each case she collected some insur ance. The woman was divorced from her first two husbands. Her third hus band died in Pittsburgh in March. 1917, and her fourth in the same citv in 1919, Stanton said. The children also died in that city. The third husband. Stanton said, carried $1,000 insurance, while the fourth was insured for $5,000. Her fifth husband was a former sol dier. She married him in Pittsburgh seven months after the death of her fourth husband, and came here to live. He died suddenly about a year ago, leaving government insurance of $3,000. Efforts to have this increased to $10,000 failed. The woman claimed that death In this instance was due to her husband having been gassed overseas, and no physician was called, Stanton said. No traces of disability in the government records of this man could be found, according to Stanton. The suspicious circumstances were reported to Prosecutor Stanton bv an official of the Red Croes which, since her arrest, has been caring for two children of the woman by her second marriage.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1922 PASTORJO FIGHT Fonnty Takes Hand in La n ton Presbyterian Church Row. Attorney Declares He Will Find Who Abducted the Pastor. CIVIL COURTS GET THE CASE The IteT. Irwin, Indicted for Conduct, Dislikes Presbjtery. He -May Deny the Right of Body "t& Put Him From Chnrch. (By the Associated Press.) Uwton. Okla.. May 2. The Lawton Presbyterian church controversy got outside the confines of the church to day. County authorities took a hand. A court of inquiry was under way di rected by County Attorney i'ietcher Riley, who announced he would so to the bottom of the whole dissension in an effort to determine the identity of three men who last Saturday night abducted the pastor, the Rev. Thomas J. Irwin and threw him in ditch be side a road outside Lawton. half con scious and securely tied and gagged. He Subpoena 30 Persons. The county attorney declared he would inquire into every phase of the ease. Filing of criminal charges, he said, would depend upon the outcome of the investigation. The county at torney started about this inquiry today by preparing subpoenas for about thirty- persons who had been sus pended from Pastor Irwin's church. They were ousted by the cnurcn session or executive board, with the sanction of Mr. Irwin and have been aligned against the minister in the movement to have him expelled from the Lawton pulpit on formal charges iirawn up by the governing El Reno Presbytery. County Attorney Riley said all the suspended members, or anti-Irwin fac-tionh-ts would be interrogated about the abduction of the pastor and it was indicated tht each would be asked to explain his whereabouts on the night of the alleged slugging and kidnaping took place. Pastor Ques-Ooued Again. Pastor Irwin and three members of the church session were called in last night anil questioned at length when the county attorney decided to con vene the inqury court. Their testi mony was kept secret and it waa not known whether Mr. Irwin gave any clue to the identity of his abductors. He has publicly stated that he did not recognize the three men. Specuiation today centered upon whether Mr. Irwin would submit to trm before a commission appointed by the fcl Keno presbytery on charges of "conduct unbecoming a minister." Thf trial is set for May 9. The pastor asserted he was going; to carry his case before the Oklahoma tynod and intimated he planned a strategical movement. Mr. Irwin's mainstays in the dissension, which has been seething in the congregation for month among the members of the church, resigned yesterday after con demning the presbytery for alleged persecution of the pastor." They announced they were still in the fiKht in support of the minister and That tr&ir withdrawal from the church and the jurisdiction of the presbytery did not mean they had foided their tents. v With thij turn of events, observers of the fray Interpreted the predicted strategy as possibly a refusal by the pastor to admit the power of the state synod. Recourse to the civil courts, where the pastor already has obtained an injunction to prevent interference with his church, was also considered as a choice of battle and another lay in following the course of the execu tive board in resigning, but still stick ing by his guns on the Lawton battle ground. A marriage bond tied by Pastor Ir wir. at a bathing pool, the duration of which was about as scanty as the garb wont at the ceremony by the bride and bridegroom: church movie exhi bitions and remarks made by the pas tor In his funeral sermon a year ago over the body of the late Jake I..

But Plan Doesn't Include Offer to Miners and Owners. Washington, May 2. Unless the coal strike is amicably settled within the next month. President Harding, backed by all the powers the gov ernment will act to end the now month-old controversy. It was learned authoritatively today. With Secretary of Commerce Hoover and others of his cabinet of ficers, the president has about con cluded a plan for curing the periodi ally strike-diseased coal Industry. The plan, it was learned today, does not contemplate harsh measures with either the operators or striking min ers. Rather, it involves the offering of inducements by the government to: Encourage greater summer produc tion of coal as the best obtainable means of stabilizing the Industry. Furnish greater storage laciiities thru the instrumentality of govern- ment loans if necessary. owe.iiiB "i' "B"- during tne summer monins. To accomplish these remedies, the president will suggest a Joint comer- ence sanctioned by the government, and relieved by the presidential call of any possible stigma of violation of law. While the president is busy work ing out details of his plan for the set tlement of the pending strike, the house labor committee continued to day its work of framing legislation designed to prevent future coal strikes- Representative Bland of Indiana, snonsor of the measure creating a fed eral coal fact-finding agency, today suggested to the committee inclusion in his bili of a provision which would require court backing to any penalties the agency might impose on coal operators refusing any Information which was sought. The "teeth" already In the bill is the provision which would deny coal operators "holding back" any infor mation on their business desired by the government, the right to ship their coal outside their-state. Bland wc-uld empower the agency with the right to demand court order to obviate ail pos sibility of its decision being enjoined. AIDED MANY SERVICE MUX.

BEEF" CATTLE. The strong demand which developed for cattle last week continued today with price firm at last week's advance and 35 to 40 cents higher than Chicago and is due to a large general demand. Seaboard cities continued to take a large nuinhpr of heavy steers. Orders from o(her sections were for light weight steers and mixed' grades, and local killers bought all classes. The bulk of the good steers aold at $8.00 to $v50. Cows, heifera and bulis were fully steady. STOCKERS AND FEEDERS. Trade in thin cattle was active at strong prices. Receipts were light ad some or ders remained unfilled. Fleshy feeders sold more rea-iily than last week. HOGS.

Washing ton. D. C. Much indignation is being expressed among Topeka citizens Over the ad mission ol the street carnival to the city t last week. That there is Just cause for complaint, especially on the part of those living or doing business in the vicinity of the shows will hard ly be, disputed. But "the people" liked the shows- This was attested by the crowds that hung around the booths. They like to gamble. Games of chance were patronized heavily, altho it was apparent to-any one that th odds were all in favor of "the house." The desire to get somehing for nothing is strong in the average human mind. Proof of all this could be) seen at the candy booth. Every man, woman and child could see that there was but one chance in twenty seven to win yet all were eager to put their money down on the one chance. Neither from a moral nor a business standpoint can Topeka afford to cater to the public's desire for the kind of entertainment afforded by the street show. Those who were fleeced by the fakirs are certain to place the blame on the city. Canada, it is reported, is steadily gaining on the United States in wheat production. "Wheat acreage only in creased 3 5 per cent in the United States from 1910 to 1920, as against 115 per cent for Canada in the same period. Canada's crop increased fm 132,030,000 bushels in 1910 to 263, 000,000 in 1920, an increase of 100 per cent, while that of the United States increased from 685,000,000 bushels in 1910 to 833,000.000 in 1920, a gain of only .5l2 per cent. The more wheat Canada raises the more money she will have to spend for the products of American factories. APRIL'S BUSINESS RECORD. A tendency to spread was charac teristic of the movement toward im proved industrial and trade activity and was the outstanding feature of the business situation during April, j Bays a bulletin issued by the American Exchange National bank of New I'ork. Industries and trades which had lagged behind were picked up and carried along by the broadening cur rent, says the bank, but there was no marked acceleration of the general movement, altho some lines showed sharply increased activity. The steel industry made the most important gains during the month. -Among the manufacturing indus tries, it is pointed out, the railway equipment and automobile lines re ported the greatest activity the in crease in orders for railway cars and engines being the most important in year or more. Orders for locomotives wers particularly heavy, more being booged in the period of a week or two by some plants than -ssere booked In a!', of the last year. Orders for pas senger cars on an important scale wera reported for the first time since the war. Rail orders are not being placed in relative volume to equipment, but it is stated that the roadbeds and tracks of the railroads have been maintained in a better condition of repair than cur rent reports of decreased maintenance charges indicate. The continued activity in the auto mobile industry is mentioned as one of the most striking and interesting facts about the current business situa tion. Low priced and medium cars are said to be in the greatest demand, altho high priced cars are also being sold in large numbers. Retail trade, it is reported, has not been wholly satisfactory, despite bargain prices and aggressive selling methods. This condition is particularly acute in the trades catering to men, complaints be ing made that the men are still wear ing their old clothes and clinging to old shoes. Manufacturers In Jhese lines, nevertheless, report a satisfac tory condition of trade and increasing orders. The production of shoes con tinues on an enlarged scale, and wool en industries report, gains in orders, also good prospects. The 'hosiery industry reported the heaviest increase in employment df any industry, and the settlement of the labor troubles in the clothing in dustry at Roiiiester indicates expec tations Of -greater activity. Building continues at in. unprecedented rate. Permits issued in twenty-seven states in March called for expenditures to taling around $300,000,000. A aharp advance in wh.at prices near the end of the month restored cash wheat to the highest level of the year. Corn also approximated its old high levels. The futures markets reflected a sig nificant increase in new crop prices. Ease in money rates was attested by a successful offering of treasury cer tificates at V per ceni In a dlseusrsion of tha railroad eight-hour law the Sioux City Tribune says: "The public should not forget that the eight hour law with its over time provision was designed primarily for its benefit. It is true that the rail worker has profited thereby, but at the same time the public has profited to even a greater extent." That the law was designed for the public's ben efit is open to question. But that the publio has been compelled to pay heavily for the-alleged benefit can not bo disputed. The law afforded an ex cuse for advances in passenger and freight rates which probably has cost the-publio vastly more than the rail road men have got out of it. lEXIX'S LAST STAND. The work ot completing the allied proposals to Russia was resumed at Genoa this week, it is said, with the promise of more rapid headway than heretofore. The last few days, it is reported, hare brought into evidence a more harmonious spirit between the British and French delegations de spite the continuing clashes between Lloyd George and M. Barthou. "Ths stage manager of the congress at Genoa is Lloyd George, but the star of the play is Russia," said the New York Herald in a recent editor ial. "Ths five great nations which framed the congress, talk about peace, confidence, finance, credit, commerce and industry. But in their minds is Russia." Lloyd George's appearance before the parliament on April Z was de scribed by many as his great political victory. The truth in the situation is, however, says one commentator, Lloyd George saved himself by exe cuting a striking retwat from the po sition he but recently occupied. While every one expected that he would ap pear before tho parliament as a staunch supporter of peace with the Bolsheviki almost "at any price," he proposed, as he himself said, "a mod erate policy a cautious policy." The British prime minister not only out lined conditions for Bolshevist recog nition, which in spirit are similar to those expressed in Secretary Hughes's notes of March 25, 1921, and March 8, 1922, but also made the statement that he would present the agreement with the Bolsheviki, if it be reached, "to the house of commons for approv al and ratification." Lloyd George was eloquent in ex plaining that "Europe needs what Rus sia can supply." On the other hand, while emphasizing Russia's need for capital, he made it clear that "it will not get capital without security, con fidence and peace, internal as well as external." The British prime minister explained further the conditions "on which we can found peace." and those are "respect for private property, re spect for the rights of individuals, fair play for those who make investments in Russia, acknowledgment of honor able debts incurred by people who put their savings into Russian invest ments." And what is still more sig nificant, he emphasized that the char acter and extent of diplomatic repre sentation betv een Russia and Great Britain depend not merely on the con ditions which Russia is prepared to accept but upon the actual proof which she can give of her good faith. "Let me say quite frankly," added Mr. Lloyd George, "that the way in which some of the more important clauses of the trade agreement have been violated has not been encourag ing." He stressed therefore the ad visability of proceeding' "by steps," even if an agreement with the Bol sheviki be reached and ratified by the house of commons, suggesting a "pe riod of probation which it would be wise to establish in the matter of cer emonial diplomatic representation n order to receive necessary guarantees not merely on paper but in practice that the Russian government intends to honor the obligations of the treaty." The Russian relegates realize that they are making their last stand. The bolrhevist power is slipping. Unless it can make a good bargain with the rest of the world it must fall. In cities of the Tenth federal re serve district there has been a steady increase in building activity since the beginning of 1S22. according to bul letins issued by the bank at Kansas City. A total of S.095 permits was issued in the three months ending March 81 and the estimated cost of the buildings totaled J17. 057.789. These figures indicate an increase of 19.8 pef cent over the corresponding first three months of 1921. The per mits issued during March in twenty one cities were 2,905 in number and the ?stnated cost 'of buildings was $71537,410. Among these twenty-one cities Topeka leads with -a percent age increase of 52 3.9. Local records show that we have returned to our pre-war stride of a new. house every day. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. RASKIN, Director. Washington. O. C THE PROBLEM. OF COAL UNIONS. Washington.' T. C, April 27. r Whether it is in the general interest to have a basic industry, such as coal, part union and part nonunion. Is one of tho Important questions to which public scrutiny has been invited, not to say forced by the nation-wido strike which was begun on April 1. Union mine workers and anti-union operators say that there ia but one answer to the question, altho their answers are diametrically different. The miners, thru their spokesmen, such as John L. Lewis and Philip Murray, respectively president anil vice president ot the United Mine Workers of America, declare that If the coal industry was completely or ganized, all the ills and evils that characterize it would be speedily cured or corrected. Also the public would be saved millions of dollars on its annual coal biU and spared tho general business upheavals incident to strikes and shutdowns. Anti-union operators, on the other hand, assert that it is their successful opposition to unionization that pre vents complete union domination of the industry, eventually leading to the taking over of the mines by the work ers, and that preventing unionization protects the public against a fuel famine when a strike or shutdown occurs in the union fields, and against exorbitant prices for coal under nor mal conditions. Many union operators agree with the officials of the mine workers that it would be for the best interests Of everybody concerned if the industry were 100 per cent organized and say that there is no hope for stability of production and regularity ot employ ment until uniform wages and work ing conditions prevail at every mine in the country. They also urge that k is unfair that the large body of operators who pay union wage scales, observe union flours and subscribe to union working' conditions should be subjected to competition with the in dependents who can make their own terms with their miners and hence produce coal at a cost materially lower than the cost attmion mines. Other union operators say that if it were not for the fact that there is a considerable part of the industry un organized, it would be impossible ever to reach fair wage and working agree ments with the union. Some of these operators would like to break away from any and all relations with the union, while others are willing to go ahead under conditions that involve recognition of the union, altho they do not want to see the non-union mines brought into the union fold. Non-union miners, being unorgan ized, have no spokesman, and it is ac cordingly impossible to report their views on the', question. However, those of them who continued at work when the strike was called may be assumed to be glad to have a chance to work on the terms established by the independent operators, altho it does not necessarily follow that they are opposed to the union. With these divergent claims and ideas emanating from the individuals and Interests directly and- selfishly involved in the coal controversy, the attitude of the general public may be said to be one of inquiry. First of all, the public is concerned to know what the ascertainable facts in the problem may be. and then, it would naturally follow, the public will consider argu ments and opinions and arrive at its owzconclusions. What tho Facta Are. At the outset It should be under- stood that the question of unionization affects essentially only the bituminous end of the coal industry. All anthra cite miners do not belong to the union, but the union agreements and condi tions prevail thruout the "anthracite field, as was shown by the fact that there was a complete cessation of an thracite production when the strike order became effective on the first of the month. In the bituminous fields, however, there are large independent areas in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ken tucky and Alabama. Prior to the strike, union officials claimed that the bituminous industry was 80 per cent unionized, and those figures are gen erally accepted by economists and by government officials. Since the strike, union organizers- report substantial progress in extending the union in Pennsylvania independent mines, but the anti-union operators in West Vir ginia have gone into court ar.d secured injunctions restraining the union from taking any and all steps toward es tablishing locals there. Government experts estimated that the total pro duction of the independents In tho strike emergency might approximate 40 per cent of the country's coal re quirements, or at least 4,000,000 tons a week. It is undoubtedly true that the country could worry along on that amount of coal, supplementing the re serve stocks on hand April 1, for quite a period, especially in tho spring and summer when fuel needs are lightest. This is the basis of the claim of the independents that they are able to come to the rescue of the public because they have persisted in fighting the union. As against this the union officials contend that tho independents will make the public pay dearly for this coal, that the strike will be unduly and unnecessarily prolonged by rea son of the fact that all the mines in the country cannot be closed down and the issue between the operator and miners brought to an immediate decision, and that while the indepen dent mines may be a guarantee to the public against an absolute coal famine they are also the one big obstacle in the road to permanent peace in the coal industry. Questions of Rights and Ethics. No one denies the right of miners to join a union. As President Harding said in his message to congress on De cember 6 last. "The right of labor to organize is just as fundamental and necessary as is the right of capital to organise." Independent coal operators, however, and some employers in other lines, insist that while the workers have a right to join their unions, em ployers' have an equal right to refuse to hire union members and to insist upon the individual contract In which each man agrees not to Join the union or do anything that might in any way encourage or assist in tho forma tion of a union so long as he continues in tho company's employ.- Union miners call these contracts "yellow dog" contracts and insist that these operators in carrying out their anti union program go to such extremes as to invade the constitutional rights of the workers as to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, but the operators answer that they are onjy safeguarding themselves and the unor ganized workers in their constitutional right of freedom of contract. It remains to bo seen whether tho walls which tho courts have reared around the West Virginia independent fields are to be surmounted or bat tered down by the union, but in the light of past events it is probable that unless the union is completely de stroyed It will continue Its efforts to bring unorganized miners Into the union ranks.'. That means a more or less constant state of industrial war fare, and fs one of the inevitable re sults of an industry part union and part nonunion. With the question of organization out of the way it is pos sible that both miners and operators might direct their experience, intelli gence and efforts toward solving problems of production and market ing to the end that the public would gets its coal cheaper nd more regu larly, but there are few present indi cations of a trend in that direction. In England far more has been done toward the elimination of controver sies over the question of unionization than has been done in"" the United States. When the Whitley scheme for industrial councils was adopted as a part of Great Britain's post-war re construction program it was agreed, according to an official bulletin that ''the councils would promote organi zation by taking measures to secure thfct all employers in an industry be longed to an employers' association and all the workers to a trade union." This agreement was effected between employers and employed, with the government participating to protect the public interest. Such a movement toward the closed union shop is in marked contrast with the post-war developments in the United States, where important employing interests have united in an open shop move ment.

Perhaps they do not understand they are willing to let some other man marry the beauty they admire so much. Perhaps thig explains why great beauties nearly alwsvys hang on, and on, while their less good looking sisters marry all around men, and in the end they generally pick up a more or less broken stick. For it is notice able that the great beauty seldom makes a great match. The reason for this, of course. Is because nature holds the scale pretty even, after all, and when she gives a woman a maximum of good looks, she is pretty apt to hand her out the minimum of brain cells. Inevitably there are many exceptions to this rule, but in the main the easier on the eyes a woman Is, the harder she is on the mentality of those with whom she comes in contact. Therefore, men are content to let other men bang the living picture on their wall, for they know that there. is nothing on earth of which one can get so deadly tired of as gazing at a painted face that is set in a smirk and smile of beauty, that has behind it no intelligence, no enthusiasm, no understanding, nothing to pique, a man's Interest, and keep it alive.". There is no denying that a pretty face catches a man's eye. but the wo man who wants to keep his gaze from wandering, must have something more than mere good looks. She must have intelligence. She must have education. She must have sublety. She must be psychologist enough to be able to pick a man to pieces, and know what he wants before he knows himself. The pretty face will catch a man. It is always good bait, but it takes a strong line of brains to hold him. The woman who has nothing but her beauty with which to attract a man is bound to lose out because a woman's good looks are a matter of a .very few. short, fleeting years. But the woman who has beauty of soul and mind has that to which time adds, as age and experience ripen her. The women whom .men love to the end of the chapter are those who supple mented their cosmetics with study, and who having once attracted a man bound him to them by cleverness, by humor, by sympathy, by being able to enter into the man's affairs. It Is the woman who can keep a man,lnter ested and entertained pt wllmn he never tires. Therefore, girls, look to your line as well as your bait when you hecome a fisher of men. Devote as much time ro improving your mind as you do to beautifying your body. Put as many thought waves on the inside of your head as you do permanent waves on tho outside. Put in as much time in reading and study as you do on select ing your clothes. Try as hard to listen good to a man as you do to look good to him, and you will get better results.

More Red Flannel for the Sliakespea roans. Sir With tho infuriated Shakes pea reans clamoring to have you drawn and quartered would you condescend to recognize as a comrade-at-arms one James Branch Cabell, by whom, on slight acquaintance, you have already been bored stiff? Discoursing on "the vitality of the mediocre," Mr. Cabell remarks: The' quality which makes for acknowledged greatness in a writer is I know not how many text books have assured Us the universality of his appeal. His ideas are. in brief, the ideas which the majority of per sons find acceptable; and Shakespeare has been praised, for once with abso lute Justice, as the 'myriad-minded,' because myriads have always had just such a mind as his. The writer of 'classics,' in short, has need of quite honest and .limited thinking, and of an ability to utter platitudes with that wholesome belief in their importance which no hypocrisy or art can ever mimic. The main treasures- of our national literature, including its Brit ish tributaries, really are, when con sidered in the light of the ideas they express, startlingly silly. "The 'ideas' of Chaucer and Shake speare and Milton, when once looked at without prejudice, appear to wan der sheepishly from the platitudinous to the imbecile, tho while that their 'stories' rove in somewhat more the manner of the mountain goat, about the heights of idiocy." U. R. R. Shakespearean fans are so steeped in phraseological flights of fancy that we have found it difficult to make them understand plain Neosho County Eng lish. For that reason, it seems neces sary to say we didn't write the quoted portion of the foregoing communica tion; Mr. Cabell wrote it. And we do not necessarily indorse it. As'-between the two, we'd say, Shakespeare bored us less than Cabell. As for the Shakespearean fans, we throw up our hands. It's no "use. Lately we have talked with dozens of them. They either can't, or won't, understand. Invariably they en deavor to convince us our coldness toward the Shakespearean drama is due to the fact that we've never seen it properly presented. Suffering Eli phalet: We've seen Shakespeare played by nearly every English-speaking actor who makes a practice of do ing so. In our one-time capacity" as a dramatic critic we "covered" more performances of Shakespeare than the average Shakespearean fan sees in a lifetime. The first Shakespearean per formance we ever saw was given by Edwin Bifoth and Lawrence Barrett in the unfinished Warder Grand Opera House in Kansas City. That was in October, 1887. Booth and Barrett were supposed to be fair actors, but twe didn't like the Shakespearean drama tnen and we don t like it now That ought to clarify our attitude to everybody except the morons. Further discussion of the Shakes pearean drama is postponed for the time being. If the prospects for a row over it seem propitious, we-fnay renew it next winter.. We notice. Incidentally, that Uncle Bimbo Gump has offered the Widow Zander $5,000 for a quitclaim in her lien on the Gump fortune. As we have often Indicated, the speculative ever Intrigues us. We'll give the widow 3 50,000 in spot cash for her claim. Tho Young Woman Reasons Well. Sir It was Mrs. Malaprop who en joyed a 'derangement of epitaphs," but my- point was that the over-use of certain expletives or epithets of an explosive character interfered with that nice discrimination of synonymic distinctions and verbal felicities that you seemingly like to practice in your search for the mot juste; the inevitable word; a habit that we all might well imitate. The same explanation can also be applied to jazz. ELIZA BETH HOOD LATTA. In a little different and a much more scholarly way, Miss Latta pre cisely expresses our own objection to profanity and to jazz. So much of the profanity and all of the jazz is idle. So much, of the former drips from dreoling lips: so much of the latter is attuned to the cauliflower ear. Says D. T. In discussing "Liliom": "But does the fact that you didn't think it funny, together with the fact that the public did, prove anything?" Not a thing. Neither, for that mat ter, does the fact that Sir Conan Doyle is lecturing in America prove any thing. But everybody is talking about it. HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS Written for The State Journal BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young married woman of twenty years and have two children, and my husband has deserted me. I must work hard to make a living for my children. I have my little girl of twenty-one months with me and I live with my parents. My little boy is in an in fants' home and I pay his board. I put him out for adoption. Do you think it is the proper thing to do? I don't like to do it. But I think it is better to let some one give him a good home because it is, worse to neglect him when I go out and work. My husband is ordered bv court to to pay for tho children, but he does not. He is down south. I had a beautiful home only he would not provide for me. He would rather give girls flowers and candy than give me anything to eat. Another girl caused my home-breaking. She called him on tho phono and made dates with him. He would never take me out and ho would- always be with this girl. I asked for a divorce and I got it quickly. Do you think it was the right thing to give my baby for adop tion? CHARMED. To leave your husband was the, only course open to you. since he was so faithless and did not provide for you. The fact that he is willing to disappear and leave you with the support of the children shows the kind of a man he is. To pay toward the support of the children as .the court ruled is the least he could do. It is at grave question whether or not you should part with your little boy. I can see your point of view and unless there is some way for you to make a good home for the child it seems1 to me, too. 'that he would be better off in a good home where he is wanted. Some women who are left with children to support find it possi ble by starting dressmaking schools, taking in boarders, etc Tou know your possibilities and if you do not feel equal to caring for both chiiJren, let the little fellow go to people who are hungry fora child in the home, but -who are denied tho blessing of having their own. FOUR DANCING FEET BY JANE PHELPS THE FAMILY FINANCIER. CHAPTER 14. Gertie picked up the pen. How. much raise do I get'.'" she asked, as she nibbled the penpolnt. regardless of microbes or other foreign substitutes. N Rosenburg named the figure. "It ain't enough. Mr. Rosenburg. What else is on this paper? 1 ain't signln' riothin' I don't know about." He reached over and took up the paper. He preferred to read it to her. than have her quick young eyes perhaps see more than he had in tended she should. Yet after all he almost smiled at his caution. She was poor, ignorant knew nothing of business, less of her own worth to him. "Oh, it just says that I'll give you that salary to work for me dance for me," he corrected-. "Let me see it:" Gertie reached a hand toward him. "That's all there is to it." A sudden resolution came to Gertie, not to refuse the raise, that was farthest from her thoughts, but to make him wait. He mustn't be al lowed to think her cheap, even if that hox-rid manager of his had told her she was. She rose. "I'll think it over, Mr. Rosenburg. and let you know tomorrow night." "All right, my dear!" he was de lighted that she had not insisted upon seeing the paper, "and if you can see my way clear I'll make it another dollar a week. I'll also do some thinking," he added as he dismissed her. The next day when they were gath ered about the dinner table, the only time when they were all together at a meal, Gertie told the assembled family of her good fortune. "Did you see that paper?" Jennie asked. Did you read it?" "No" Gertie was surprised at her sister's manner, morp than at her questions. "He read it to me, Mr. Rosenburg." "There was something in one of our lessons once," Jennie went on slowly, "in our English lesson. Teacher talked about it; said it was a good thing for us all to remember. It was about never signing a paper until you have read it. and if you didn't under stand it, until you had showed shown. I mean- it to some one who did. I guess you better read that paper yourself, Gert. You may be signing away your fortune." Jennie was a great novel reader as well as a good scholar. Hence the allusion to a fortune. "I'm glad you told me that, Jennie," Gertie said after thinking a moment. "I don't like the boss, don't trust him nor Jones. Yes. I'm glad you told me. If only Tom was here," she sighed. "Has he wrote you yet?" her mother asked. "You know he ain't hasn't, mt, or I would have told you." There was a wistful look in Gertie's eyes, a longing note in her voice. He had been gone a week. Perhaps she shouldn't expect a letter from way out where he lived so soon but she had watched so anx iously for one. Thinking of Tom she had forgotten all about Rosenburg. when Jennie brought her back to the subject of her raise by saying: "When you read that paper tell him you want to take it home to let ma see it. Then I'll take it to teacher if there's anything we all don't under stand." "I'll do that little thing. Jennie if the old geezer's trying to put anything over on me. But I guess I'll fall to it if I read it myself." "Be careful. .Gertie," Ma had lis tened carefully to the conversation. "God knows we need the raise, but it ain't much caaat you git him to give you a little more? "He said he'd think over making it a dollar a week more. I asked him for it." "Maybe Jennie is right, and you ought to show that paper he wants you to sign to her teacher." Mrs. Cum mings was already worried for fear something was wrong. It is easy for constantly anxious people to imagine trouble, even when none exists, and here "We'll see!" Gertie got out her books and studied until time to go to the cafe. She thought Jennie asleep, but just as she was about to leave, she called out: "Remember, don't sign anything you don't understand!" "I won't, Jennie." "She knows more'n I do about a lot of things," Gertie said to herself, re ferring to Jennie. There was no bit terness in the thought. Sadness per haps, but mostly pride. "She'll be a teacher someday if I have my way." (Tomorrow A battle of wits.) Questions Answers Q. Which fire caused the greater loss, the Chicago fire or the on in 8au Fran cisco? J. K. W. A.

BY LILY WAND EL. Alvina had fallen in love with Jim mie O'Toole and the whole town held its breath. "She'll fall out ot love as quickly as she came in, Jimmie'll see to that," prophesied her younger brother, George. "It's an awful disgrace." wailed her sister Marie. "Tho very idea! We, of the best old family in the county, the aristocratic Moreheads and Jimmy O'Toole, the black sheep of even such a family as tho O'Toole's! Besides he's younger than she!" "Utterly incomprehensible to me," declared the mother gravely. "Alvina has always been so conventional, al most too much, -and so very particular with whom she associated." Tha door opened and the family looked somewhat embarrassed as a slim young woman, her refined sweet features fairly shining with happiness, came into the room. "Oh, you've been discussing me; don't deny it," she laughed. "My dear, tho whole town is dis cussing you," her sister deplored. "I don't care!" Neither does Jimmie!" With defiant good humor. "Oh, Jimmie O'Toole, he's used to notoriety." If Alvina'winced no one noticed ex cept her mother. "My dear," said the latter gently, "I am very much con cerned about you. Jimmie O'Toole has not the best of reputations and I cannot see how such a marriage will bring you any happiness. I'm not saying that he is a bad sort, just that you two do not fit; there's too much difference." "May I add word?" asked the brother and, without waiting for per mission, "you'll never marry him, be cause Jimmie isn't the sticking kind. He's flattered at present that, he has been able to bowl over the most con servative girl in town." Alvina'B quick eyes went from one to the other. "You all have forgotten one thing that we love each other. There's another thing, too, J'm going to reform Jinlmie. We've talked it over and he's promised faithfully. No more talking to his old cronies, no more cigarets, no pool playing Oh, there's a whole list of things," she smiled at them triumphantly. Things went along beautifully for at week or two, Alvina glowing with happiness, the town and her family still skeptical. Then one evening Jimmie missed an engagement and Alvina waited in vain It was George who 'brought the bad news. "Well. Jimmie's fallen off I knew it," with a grim laugh. "Of course, I did, too," came AI vina's surprising reply; "he is no angel it's difficult to break bad ha4its all at once. I've been quite prepared for one or two slipbacks!" The family only sighed. The next day Jimmie appeared repentant, full of new promises. There were several more slipbacks and Alvina's face became slightly drawn and anxious. She was very stanch and loyal tho; would not listen to a word against him and redoubled her efforts to reform him. She dragged him to the best concerts, nudged him when he showed signs of falling asleep, bought the best maga zines for him, left him classic gems, even read aloud to him by the hour, and fed him candy when he became restless almost irritable. Jimmie's calls became less frequent and the family felt that the end of Alvina's love affair was near, when Alvina herself grew pale and pinched looking. It happened one evening when Al vina waited with growing nervousness for Jimmie. They were to hear a lecture on thought-control, and he had promised faithfully to be there at seven-thirty. Alvina waited. her nervousness fanned by the family's remarks. The clock struck eight, eight-thirty and no Jimmy in sight. At nine o'clock Alvina burst into tears and went to her room, locking the aoor. "I think she's writing him a letter breaking the engagement," re marked her mother to the other two; "poor child, and she loved him so mich!" The next morning a different Alvina came down to breakfast. Not a .trace of nervousness, anxiousness or hurry in her manner. She surprised the family by eating a hearty breakfast and afterward, instead of playing her usual half hour of scales on the piano, launched into a gay song and wound up with a bit of jazz. After an hour's shopping she called up Jimmie and asked him to take her for lunch.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1922 NO GAME TODAY Eain Spoiled Baseball Festlii ties This Afternoon. Solons and 3Iets Will Play Opener Tomorrow. J. Pluvius is winning most of the battles in the Southwestern league just at present. He has had the final say in a lot of contests lately and to day ho fattened his batting average by forcing a postponement of the opening game between the Topeka Solons and Muskogee until tomorrow. It was a sad turn of affairs for the hundred of fans who were counting on looking 'em over this afternoon hut baseball differs slightly from a. boat to do. Hopeful during the early morning hours that a break would occur in the clouds and that the game could be played with the aid of a few barrels of 1 .1 ..I. 1 rfr wai o r i4 I'riruiruui oiiu a. iiijih i Manager Dick Cooley ventured out to the ball farm about 11 o'clock to see what was going on. When he got there he was sorry he didn't bring his rubber boots with him and possibly a hook and line. It is possible that the players may go fishing this afternoon but any ceremonies connected with chasing a horse hided pellet around will have to wait. And tt didn't take -the Topeka pilot very long to reach that decision. One look was enougn Meld Was Too Wet. "It might have been possible for us to get out there but it wouldn't have been ft ball game and rather than Triers up the opening I thought it best to call everything off until tomorrow." said Cooley afterwards. "An hour of sunshine would have made a lot of difference but as it was the field was too sloppy. It would have been all right if my players had web feet but they are not making ball players that way yet." The Topeka club, which closed a stand of twelve games in the south at Sapulpa. Monday afternoon, arrived home this morning at 9:30 o'clock and is anxious to get a whack at the club wnicn inmmea it uifee straigm games when the season opened two weeks ago. An hour and a half later came the members of the Muskogee team Just as eager to battle in an effort to kepn themselves at the ton of the npr- centage column. The Mets haven't lost a game this season and the show in c- the team makes on its first north- ern trip will have an important bear ding on the standing at the close of the first half of the season. Coffeyville, which appears at Salina today, is an- game played so far. Southern Clubs Have Edge. While the Solons are returning home with only one win to their credit out of a total of eight games played, the team has done s-s well as Indepen dence, which won the pennant last season, and better than Salina and Uiitohinenn n-hif h Q n fir h9V0 fftilnrl o Dreart 111141 111a wiiimiiis i-uiuiun ai nil. x iu Diiunutfi in" iiuitumu clubs, however, is due to the fact that 1 1 n J 1 iam 6 1 1 "'ft v r had little or no chance to train before ns season ciarieu, uiiu uetuiioo iiicj have suffered seriously from bad weather since. On the other hand all of the southern clubs were members of the league last year, and were playing exhibition games this spring before Topeka, Salina and Hutchinson had decided to Join the league. At tho time the league tilaced a franchise in Tooeka Jack Hardin, president 01 the Muskogee club, stated that the Mets had been practicing for three weeks and that he had fifty men from which lu uiiuuests icani. But' once the northern teams have a chance to go thru a series or two on their home lots this alibi will be as old and obsolete as the League of "a few games then a lot of players will be calling for their mail at another address. Cooley believes he has the makincs of one of the best clubs in the league and has the backing of the oort writers at Muskogee, BartleS' ville and Sapulpa who say that all the Solons need to make tnem a danger ous aggregation is plenty of work daily to put them Into shape. The fact that the team lost four games by 'a. margin of one run, and two more imply because the pitchers were wtia, would show that the Oklahoma dope- sters know what they are talking about.

"Topeka fans needn't be worrying about their team." said Hardin, this afternoon, "because I have seen it in action and I want to say t is one of the best clubs in the league. I have seen them all and know what I am talking about. The reason Muskogee beat Topeka three straight was De- cause we got the breaks. Luck was with us or we wouldn't have won at leant two of the names. The Topeka team can hit, it has a good infield and the pitching staff looks good. So don't worry about your club. We know we are in for a battle whenever we meet it."

Chicago, 111., Muf 2. WHEAT Trade was email and the net change ror the day unimportant except in the current month, which scored an advance of two cents, due to the light deliveries and the strength shown in all (.ash markets. The latter Is something that will bear close watchiug as any improvement in the cash demand will enable those who accept delivery on May contracts to dispose of their holdings to advantage. A reeling or uncertainty sun exists as far as the immediate situation is concerned as it is persistently reported that some sizeable quantities are to comel,j r1i-TT, here for delivery before the end of the I raf t"c month. Exporters are still after new crop wheat and the buying of futures from time to time against such sales as finding offer ings light. The season of crop Bcares Is now at hand and should reports come in showing damage in sections other than that hurt by the drouth last fall, the de ferred months would undoubtedly gather strength and advance to higher prices. COKN The market today was a tame affair and devoid of feature. Cash houses were the principal sellers while the buying was scattered and largely for outside in vestment account. Sentiment is gradually versing to the constructive side with a dis position to ignore the large available sup plies and take cognizance of the relatively low price as compared with other grains and livestock. Reports from the Interior are to the effect that the surplus is rap idly diminishing thru Increased farm con sumption ana tne tneory is ventured mat there will be no burdensome movement this spring.

Alkali In Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, I and ruina it. j The best thing for steady use Is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo which is pure and greaselessh and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi fied in a cup or glass with a little warm water is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub It in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for month. Re sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Adv. Shepard. All women interested in the work of the alliance are urged to be present at this meetiner. Miss Julia E. Whitmer has invited guests for a dinner to be given Thurs day evening.
