National Commerce Commission Makes Drastic Order Today. EAST LINES CUT 14 PER CENT Passenger Rates and Pullman Surcharges Left Alone. Agricultural Products Let Alone by Commission's Act. "Washington, May 24. The inter state commerce commission today de cided that railroads are entitled to earn 5 i per cent on the value of railway property, compared with the 6 per cent which was made the reason able return standard under the trans portation act, and ordered railroad ratpg in eastern territory cut approxi mately 14 per cent effective July 1. The rate cut averaged approximate- ly an actual 10 per cent decrease in rates. Passenger Rates Not Affected. Passenger rates and Pullman car surcharges were left unaffected by the decision which applied to freight rates exclusively. The calculations as to the general percentage of reduction effected by the commission's decision were difficult to arrive at. The statement by Com missioner Potter that they averaged generally 10 per cent was accepted, however, as correct by the commis sion's personnel and rate experts gen era I ly. In western territory the commission ordered a cut of approximately thir teen and one-half per cent and in the southern and mountain Pacific groups approximately 12.5 per cent, all effec tive July 1. The commission's rate cut was made horizontally and removes a percentage of the general increases given to all railroad rates in 1920. The commis sion in its decision declared a general rate reduction in rate levels "as sub stantial ns the condition of the carrier will permit, will tend to stabilize con ditions" of all business. Charges Hurt Free Transportation. "Transportation charges have Tnounted to the point where they are Impeding the lre flow of commerce the commission's decision, which or dered a far greater reduction of rates than had been anticipated in any qua r ter said, "and are thus tending to de- feat the purpose for which they were established, that of producing revenue which would enable the carriers to provide the people of the TTnited States with adequate transportation. Won't Affect Agriculture. Agricultural products will not be af fected by the reduction granted under the commission's order today. The reduction of 1 6 per cent made in the western hay and grain rates last fall and the voluntary 10 per cent cut made in all agricultural products by railroads by January 1, will be sub stituted for the decision on these com modities. The general question of whether railroad transportation rharges in the Vnited States had 'attained levels too high for business and industry to sup port was brought formally before the interstate commerce commission in the fall of 1921 on the commission's own motion, altho in response to nation-w;de commercial and political nuggestions. Karm organizations and representa tives of western staTfs. particularly those in the grain producing area, ob tained marked conces ions about that time to which railroads voluntarily added a 10 per cent reduction on practically all agricultural products all over the United States except in New England. Before the commission, however, the railroad executives, statistical ex perts and attorneys developed the ar gument that railroad earnings were insufficient to justify any general de creases, at least until operating ex pen-'ps and wage payments, as regu lated by the railroad labor board, had been reduced. Every major industry in the United States was represented in the hear ings, along with state regulative bodies, most of whom sought lower ing of transportation charges, but di verged in the degree of urgency which they suga-psted for the commission's action. The hearings extended over four months. Raw Material Cut Asked. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, ap pearing at the request of the Chamber oi commerce oi the United States. proposed that the commission should make over the existing rate structures on the principle of applying propor tionately lower freights to the bulky, low priced, raw materials of industry and agriculture, such as coal, primary footstuffs, and ores. Higher price finished materials and passenger traffice. Mr. Hoover sug gested, might bear the charges until such time as railroad revenues had developed to the point which would allow reductions without endangering railroad credits. Immediate and tangible cuts, he said, probably could not be made. The secretary's position contrasted radically with that of state commis stons, whose members centered a good deal of their attack on passenger rate schedules, which they alleged to be too high for the traffic, and In reality the cause of low railroad earnings. J. R. Koontz. assistant freight traf fic manager of the Santa Fe. said to day he did not care to discuss the re duction or its probable effect until after he has had an opportunity to view the entire decision. Kansas will be benefited bv the 10 Per cent freight rate reduction or dered today by the interstate com merce commission chiefly on salt, coal, oil. cement and brick products, P. A. Conway, traffic expert of the public utilities commission said, commenting on the interstate commission's order. The average yejrSy production of fcTHER.

KEYNOTE IS GIVEN Senator Watson Praises Work at White House by G. O. P. Many Evils Caused by Demo crats Hare Been Eradicated. N'T STOP THEM ALL" But Wise Management Has Made Order Out of a "Mess." Those .Who Caused Disorder Jiow "Stand Off and Jeer." Indianapolis, Ind., May 24. Effi cient and wise management of the nation's affairs, both domestic and in ternational, and 'substantial results in relieving "the evils of eight years of Democratic misrule" were claimed of the Harding administration in an ad dress here today by Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, before the In diana Republican state convention. For years it has been the custom of Indiana Republicans to have the key note of the national campaigns sound ed before them, and Senator Watson's speech, which was discussed in ad vance with President Harding, will be incorporated in the party literature for the congressional campaign this fall. Senator Watson praised the execu tive, legislative and diplomatic record of the present administration and flayed the recent Democratic adminis trations "as debt-incurring, deficit creating, bond-issuing, surplus- scs.t tering, factory-closing, industry-paralyzing, prosperity-destroying, social upheaving, and cataclysm-producing." They Stand Off and Jeer. "We are not responsible for ail this waste," he declared. "We did not produce all this wreckage. We did not incur these debts. We have not piled up this mountain of obligations, and those gentlemen who are respon sible for all this riotous orgy of ex travagance and all this upsetting of industry and unsettling of financial conditions, now stand and jeer at us because in fourteen months we have not overcome all the evil they pro duced in eight years. "We have not yet accomplished all that we have set out to do," he con tinued. "We have not cured all the ills and corrected all the mistakes and overcome all the evils of eight years of Democratic misrule, but certainly we have taken long strides in the right direction and assuredly if the Republican party cannot adjust mat ters, what hope is there in turning to the organization that caused all the disaster in the beginning?" Reduction of taxes and approprla. tiona, reorganization of the shipping board, agricultural relief, the tariff bill and diplomacy of the present admin istration were emphasized by Senator Watson. Has No Apologies. "This administration does not need an apologist," said Senator Watson. "No administration ever before came Into power confronting such problems oi sucn complexity ana difficulty as gress." President Harding's call for the arms conference, he declared, was "the largest step toward international peace with Justice the world has known in all its history," and the whole world, he said, applauded the results. The four-power treaty, the senator said. (Coutlnned on Page Two.) PROBE LASCAR CREW'S ACTION. French Government Will Be Interpel lated Over Egypt's Sinking. (By tbe Associated Press.) Paris, May 24.

ENGLAND MAY BE i FORCED TO STOP NEW IRISH RIOT Possibility of Intervention Seen in London Talk. If Parliament May Consider Move at Meeting Tomorrow. CIVIL WAR IS SMOULDERING But Break in Ranks Seems Now Xearly a Complete One. Fear for Anglo-Irish Treaty in Collins-de Valera Pact. (By the Associated Fress.) London. May 24. Representatives of the Irish provisional government are coming to London Thursday night for a conference with representatives of the British cabinet concerning the agreement reached last Saturday be tween the two Irish political factions. This announcement was made this afternoon in the house of commons by Austen Chamberlain, the government leader Belfast, May 24. Irish republican troops are concentrating upon the Ulster boundary. An invasion of this province was again threatened today as a result of the arrest of hundreds of Sinn Feiners and republicans from Drumkeel. Republican soldiers are being massed in that direction. London, May 24. With civil war smouldering in Ireland, British offi cials today began canvassing the pos sibility of English intervention on tho Ulster frontier. Premier Lloyd George and Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill, who are handling the Irish situation on behalf of the London gov ernment are hopeful that representa tives of the free state and Ulster will come here for a conference, but that hope is not universally shared. Craig to Come to London. According to present plan, Sir James Craig, premier of the Ulster govern ment, will be summoned to London at the end of the week to discuss the possibilities of a truce between Orange men and Sinn Feiners with a peace treaty as an eventuality. Michael Collins, of the Irish pro visional government, already has been summoned It is probable the government will be interpellated on the Irish situation when Premier Lloyd George appears before the house of commons tomor row. To Supersede Irish Treaty? Conditions in Ireland are growing more chaotic, not only thru the hos tility of the Orangemen and Sinn seiners in Ulster but as a result of un certainty over the coalition agreement reached by the free staters and the republicans. The English are not certain what tho results of the Collins-De Valera agreement will be and they fear the Anglo-Irish treaty will be impaired in consequence. It is evident that the agreement has brought the hostile Sinn Fein factions together and if war comes, they will present a solid front to Ulster. The breach between north and south Ireland has been widened bv the ac tion of Sir James Craig in breaking off all relations with the Ulster boun dary commission. The Ulster premier has announced that he will not have, any direct relations with the free stote. This, however, does not prevent in direct negotiations thru London. (By the Associated Preas.) Belfast. May 24. Frank O'Kelly, an American citizen who fought with the United States army in France, was one of those arrested by the special police in the roundup of the. Sinn Feiners in Ulster. O'Kelly was taken at Claudy. near Londonderry, when the raiding police visited the residence of J. Murphy, a teacher, at Garvagh, county Londonderry. Mur phy was observed on the roof his refusal to descend the police openea lire wounding him in shoulder. the HANGED 43 YEARS AGO LIVES. "Bandit" Writes He Was Cut Down After Mob Departed.

Declination of the invitation to the Genoa conference, also was commend ed by Mr. Watson who said it was a political and not an economic confer ence. "The world by this time ought to understand.' he continued, "that we do not intend to become involved in the political wrangles and that we are willing to lend aid or give counsel and maintain always a sympathetic atti tude, yet we will refuse to be dragged into their financial difficulties and we always will decline to meddle with their national affairs or" to become involved in their age old rivalries. We do not intend to get into this confused jumble of European animosi ties. This attitude of the administra tion meets with the hearty approval of everybody except internationalists of a most extreme type." Harding Accomplishes His Aim. In domestic affairs. Senator Wat son said, the Harding administration stood for "full freedom in business and a recognition of the larger right of the individual to control and oper ate his own business affairs.' "The 'new freedom preached by Woodrow Wilson was a grotesque travesty on the very name," he added, "while the enfranchisement of busi ness under Harding is an accom plished fact. 'Notwithstanding the near ap proach to collapse of the monetary system of nearly every country in Eu rope," he continued, "'we have bal anced our budget, we are living within our income, we have issued no bonds and sold no treasury certificates, we IfS-ve paid off $1,000,000,000 of the public debt, we have reduced taxation by $825,000,000 the first year and $525,000,000 more the second year, we have curtailed governmental ex penses $1,600,000,000 and are today financially solvent and commercially sound and on the upgrade toward a normal resumption of American pros perity." Citing the new charges from the war. Senator Watson said there could not be any great reduction in taxes, for a decade or more, but he contend ed the Republican party had kept its platform pledge to reduce taxes as far as possible consistent with govern ment needs. This in part was possi ble, he said, by dismissal of more than 100.000 government employes in the last two years. Incidentally discuss ing civil service. Senator Watson said he stood for it as applied to many government activities, hut he declared it should not be used to "shelter men opposed to the policy of the adminis tration and who secretly connive to overthrow it." A Bonus Is Assured. "They have not been getting rid of Democrats In some of the departments fast enough to suit me," he added. "I have been and am opposed to putting postmasters under civil service." The pending tariff bill, which he helped draft, was a prominent eubjet of Senator Watson's address. It would do much, he said, to restore business and prosperity. Protection, he added, had been a proven policy. "This tariff." he added, "is not be ing made to please free traders. We did not formulate it to suit import ers." The Fordney emergency tariff law. the senator asserted, "had saved the woo. and sheep industry and been of immense value to the dairy interests and to the great benefit of the farmer. Soldier bonus legislation is insured "before the close of the present ses sion," according to Senator Watson, who declared it would "involve no ad ditional taxation, and finally would be paid by the use of the bonds of our nations." Reduction in raMrnad rates and wa?es must come. Senator Watson said, together with financial mainte nance of the carriers, but he declared that railroad wages should not and would ,not return to pre-war levels.

1 1 t I it i i 1 i M fi R 1 t i I i i i i M M PAL OLIVE SHAMPOO The Perfect Hair Treatment OLIVE OIL MAKES LOVELY HAIR To All Who Come This Week We Will Give Ab solutely Free a Sample Treatment of Palm Olive Shampoo Palm and olive oils have been found to possess peculiar qualities, qualities of especial benefit to the hair. Their action imparts gloss and creates softness. It produces a beautiful silky texture. This is proved by one shampoo of Palm Olive which is blended from Palm and Olive Oils. i How These Oils Act The softening effects of olive oil are responsible for gloss and softness. It produces a mild penetrating lather which softens and relaxes the scalp and enters roots and' hair cells. The accumulation of dirt and oil is thoroughly dissolved. Dandruff is penetrated and removed. Palrri Olive contributes richness and body to this lather and makes it lasting. Both oils have been famous for thou sands of years for their softening, relaxing qualities which no others possess. Frees the Scalp from Dandruff Dandruff which doctors call seborrhea and say causes most hair troubles, is not removed by ordinary shampoo ing. The dry, oily scales are impervious to usual cleansing. It makes them more powdery and flaky. But they must be got rid of some way or you may lose your hair. Dan druff packs around the .roots and interferes with nutri tion. This makes even the normal secretion found on every scalp dangerous to hair health. The softening, pene trating lather produced by the combination of palm and olive oils, loosens the scales and dislodges them from the scalp. The delicate organism of each hair is free for healthy activity. Nature intended every woman to have beautiful hair. It is your heritage. And you can have lovely hair if you keep it properly cleansed constantly. If you really want beautiful hair use-. Palm Olive Liquid Shampoo. It is quite different from other shampoos. Palm Olive is espe cially valuable for blondes. Peroxide, borax or eoda are injurious to, the hair. We believe that Palm Olive is the one shampoo for blondes. It will not streak or discolor. It brings out the natural color and gloss of the hair. It cannot possibly dry the scalp or make the hair brittle. For it contains olive oil. You know this is used by higher priced beauty. specialists every where to bring out life and lus ter. Just try one bottle.

PHONE 634 f For Partiular Welding Jobs 1 For Mechanical Electrical Work Allen Argues That All Classes o Steamers Could Pass. (Ct ttao Associated Press.) Chicago, May 24. Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas and Governor Nathan L. Miller of New York met at the banquet table of the Illinois Manufacturers' association last night in the third of their now famous de bates on the issues between the mid dle west and the Atlantic seaboard over the proposed St. Lawrence waterway. While Governor Allen advanced the cause of the project to carry ocean traffic directly to the markets on the shores of the Great Lakes. Governor MUler puffed constantly at a cigar I and made frequent notes for his reply to the Kansas governor. I ll see you again, said the gov ernor of Kansas to the governor of New-York as he took his seat at the lend of forty-five minutes. Allen Spoke 45 Minutes. New York has no objections to the (consummation of the mid-west's dream. Governor Miller said as he be- I gan his argument. The state which led the crusade for prohibition is now clamoring for I water,1' he said, "and all the water in the Atlantic will not quench its thirst." The middle west, he said, feels the call of the ocean much as 'some feel the call of the wild, but the call ap peals more to desire than to reason. If there is any reason to hope that the Atlantic ocean can be brought 1. 200 miles inland, then New York is not so selfish as to impose any objec tions to the consummation of that hope," he declared. Raps Mid-West's Plan. Governor Allen proposed to com plete the project and investigate after- I wards. Governor Miller said, while he proposed to do the investigating first. I he first thing to consider he said. was to determine whether the project was feasible. "This whole case has been brought on abnormal conditions, incident to th war," he said, and quoted sea captain is saying that ocean traffic on th lakes would not be successful until new types of vessels were devised to navigate the lakes and the ocean seven months of the year and the ocean alone the remaining five months. Only Tramp Steamers. The proponents of this scheme convict themselves," he continued, and I quoted experts and the commission as I saying that the only ocean going ves I sels which would navigate the water way would be average sized tramp steamers. "I don't want to send Governor Al len a tramp," he said. "You could never convert Chicago into a seaport by making it possible for an occasional tramp schooner to visit here. What commodities would an occa sional tramp vessel bring back from j.iverpooi 7 'This subject must be studied fur ther by men who know about the sub jest and who are impartial." Allen In Rebuttal. Governor Miller spoke one hour In I accordance with his agreement with Governor Allen. The Kansas governor wot allowed fifteen minutes for re buttal. "Governor Miller says we must not Interfere with the railroads," Governor Allen said. "The middle west never wanted to do this. The railroads have been our salvation. Governor Miller and I agree on this proposition. We only tell it differently. He says we couldn't bring the Mau- retania to Chicago. We don't want to." Governor Allen then quoted Lloyd's to emphasize the tremendous tonnage or tramp steamers on the Atlantic Plenty of Traffic Waiting. "And they'd all sail the Great 1 Lakes." Governor Allen said. "Governor Miller wants to know what they'd bring back from foreign parts. Well, what does he think the forty-three million persons out here are going to live on? Statistics show that $1,280,000,000 worth of imports came to Chicago last year. It is as ridiculous to assume that ocean vessels would return to New York empty as to believe they would return to lake ports without cargoes." Governor Allen in presenting his ar gument quoted his opponent as say ing that Governor Miller had left un read a stack of evidence more than seven feet high. Describing the deep waterway project as "national in the highest sense," the Kansas governor charged that New York opposition was inspired by provincial self-inter est and that Governor Miller was us ing "not the method of the Just 1udge. Dut or tne trained lawyer." The project. Governor Allen assert ed, would mean to wheat growers of eighteen states an added profit under all conditions of 290 million dollars a year. 'Wheat in Kansas and Nebraska Is farther from New York market than wheat on the Argentine farm. Wheat at tne root ot Lake Krie is as near t northern Europe as it will be when it geta to New York. When the lakes are open to ocean going commerce I and the lost motion is eliminated, the raving in freight will add from 5 to 7 cents on tne market value of everv bushel of wheat produced in the miawestern fields.

President Harding and leaders ,of the senate and house have conferred upon means for speeding the ship sub sidy bill so that it may become law before the present session of congress adjourns. The hearings in the house are nearly concluded, and it will be reported to that body as soon as the committee has worked out a few re maining details. Its early passage thru the house seems assured, and it will probably go to the senate In am ple time for its consideration by that body following the completion of the tariff bill. But the senate is the place where legislation of doubtful desira bility pines away and dies. If the ship subsidy bill must wait on the tariff or even on the bonus legislation prob ably it will be a long time before the people begin to pay taxes to swell the profits of ship owners. Business in the United States has improved and stabilized during the spring months of 1922, according to the Monthly Review of Retail Trade prepared by the National Retail Dry Goods association. Various factors have contributed to both improve ment and stabilization, notable among them being price reductions which served to maintain the national sales volume; reduction of unemployment attending increase of industrial activ ity, and marked increase in sales ini tiative as specially evidenced In in crease of advertising outlay. Business failures were fewer in April than in any one of the four preceding months. While retail trade for March, 1923, was 14i per cent less In money value than in March, 1921, according to the figures received from the 446 repre sentative stores reporting, the mer chandise volume offset the discrep ancy because it was sold, in March last, at prices lower than those of March, 1921, by from 10 to 20 per cent. The story of Henry Ford's life and work, by himself is being published serially in McClure's. An interesting feature in his account of how his son Kdsel bought out the minority stock holders in the Ford company in 1919. Mr. Ford says: "My son Kdsel pur chased the remaining 414 per cent of the stock because certain of the minority stockholders disagreed with rwy policies. For these shares he paid at the rate of $12,500 for each $100 par and in all paid about seventy-five millions." If those stockholders had known what was coming, Mr. Ford probably would b,ave had much less difficulty in persuading them to put their money In the enterprise at the start. If the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill become a law. some of us may be forced to stop eating. The bill taxes every mouthful of food. Mutton is taxed 2'i cents a pound; lamb, S cents; dead chickens, S cents a pound. Cream pays 22 cents a gallon. These are samples of many food taxes. They will stop imports. Uncle Sam. who needs revenue badly, will get none- from these rates, but the con sumers will pay the retailers many millions of dollars because protection has become prohibitive. Tariff build ing, says Samuel Hopkins Adams in Leslie's, has always been regarded as a log-rolling process. What the framers of the pending tariff are rolling, he declarer, is a snowball rather than a log. Facta contributory interest, be it farm bloc or manufac turers group, has given its own sturdy push to the rolling sphere, thereby adding more bulk until the accumulating mass has taken on such weight that It is now out of control and Is whirling down the slope at the bottom of which stands the toilfully rebuilt- structure ,of business revival. When the ball hits the building the air is going to be full of splinters and vio lent language. Mutual recriminations will then be in order on the part of our representatives in congress who eet the thing" in motion, each explain- ins; that it was really the other fel low's doing. Before the air dlears It is indicated that a number of these statesmen will have had an "ex" forcibly prefixed to their titles. The best thing to be said of the tariff muddle, continues this writer, is that it promises some very much needed political funerals ,n both houses of congress, of which the recent obse quies over Senator New of Indiana may be taken as a sample. THE HAGUE CONFERENCE. The fact that the next meetira; of the European economic conference Li to be held at The Hague Instead of at Genoa can have no effect on the American attitude toward it. It has been known from the first that Eu rope wanted to have this country as a participant at the parleys, and the recess that has been agreed to for the purpose of asking the United States to Join does not add anything to what was already known by the adminis tration. It has been stated that this coun try can have nothing to do with Rus sia until the Russians can provide some guaranties for productivity in the country and for the rights of property there. That proposition will not be altered by the removal of the Genoa conference to The Hague and extending a formal invitation to the United States. The American note says, in part: "This government is most desirous to aid in every practicable way the consideration of the economic exI-S gencies in Russia and wishes again to express the deep friendship felt by the people of the United States for the people of Russia and thPir keen in terest in all proceedings looking to the recovery of their economic life and the return of the prosperity to which their capacities and resources entitle them. 'This government, however, is un able to conclude that It can helpfully participate in the meeting at The Hague, as this would appear to be a continuance under a different nomen clature of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same diffi culties if the (attitude in the Russian memorandum of May 11 remains un changed." The world needs Russia, but Russia needs the world, even more. Ex tremely rich in natural resources, and with wonderful agricultural possibili ties, the development of Russia, even before the revolution, and with its trade open to the world, was handi capped thru lack of transportation. Under the "dictatorship of the, prole tariat," there has been a complete breakdown of all means of transpor tation. SCj far as transportation is concerned, Russia is today in proba bly an even worse situation than j China, and in this age arteries of transportation are indispensable to the life of a nation. Russia in the last four years has cast off all appearance of those obli gations which one government and one people must assume and observe toward other governments and other peoples if civilized life is to endure. If Russia wishes the assistance of the other countries of the world, includ ing our own, in a financial, a com mercial and a moral sense, her gov ernment must realize tnat tnere are obligations which it mast assume and which it must continue to observe. when Russia assumes these obliga tions and gives guaranties that they will be observed, our help probably will be forthcoming without reserve but until that time comes, we cannot extend to her government or to her People that material aid so urgently needed if Russia is again to become a factor in the economic progress of the world. The existing fact is that Russia has nothing to sell which other nations wish to buy, and Russia has no money with which to purchase goods that are for sale in other countries. The title to property in Russia is uncer tain, in view of the Soviet policy of confiscation. Because of the suspen sion of production there is practically nothing in Russia for sale. Because the Soviet government plundered the banks and seized all the capital of men who had saved, and has printed paper rubles to such an amount that the currency is now of little value, tnere is no money In Russia with which to buy. Neither has Russia any credit. A nation that has once adopted the policy of repudiation and confiscation can never again enjoy the confidence of another nation or the men of other nations until the policy of confiscation and repudiation has been reversed. Whenever profit, or advantage which is equivalent to profit, disap pears from human effort, business or trade will disappear. Business will die. Human effort will cease. That is what has happened in Russia. Rus sia wants to trade with the world, but the soviet government has strangled Russian production, broken down Russian transportation, triads Russian currency worthless, and destroyed Russian credit- As to a loan to Russia, what civilized state with constitution founded on respect for "private prop erty and Individual rights can come t any workable agreement with the soviet government, which believes in and practices confiscation of private property and justifies the breaking or all promises and contracts at will? The jails of Ireland again are be ing occupied. Erin never is happy until her prisons are filled with pa triots. When England fails to attend to the matter she looks after it her self. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC J. HASH TX. XHrcotsr, Washington. D. C. MATCHING THE RAINBOW. Washington, D. C, May 21. A new and mysterious art, known and prac ticed by one man only, is the decora tion of textiles by Aztec aura. Rob ert Randolph Walters, who is well known both in this country and abroad as a portrait painter, is the exponent of the new art. He inventea tne pro cess and has kept it secret. An exhibition of these Aztec aura textiles has Just been held at the Art club here. They are different from any other hand decorated silks. Tints flow into one another in iridescent waves of color, and then somewhere, perhaps at each end, there is a shadow scene or a vague spray of flowers such as goldenrod. apple blossoms or dog wood. The silken draperies with their changing colors and elusive pictures are as mysterious, as the process that evolved them. Mr. Walters named his new art after the famous Aztec mantles made of the rainbow plumage .of humming birds. He saw one of these mantles rn the British museum and was fascinated by it. It seemed a pity to him that an art so beautiful should be lost, for in the skillfully matched and shaded plumage of the birds there was a lus ter and an ethereal quality that he had never seen in modern handwork. It was practically impossible to re vive the old Aztec specialty of feather work. Tho Aztecs bred humming birds in large numbers in order to have a perfect color scale of feathers. Almost every home had Its cages of the tiny, gaily colored. birds. Once a year the birds were plucked. and the feathers were collected by artists who worked on feather gar ments. On a cotton background the workers fitted in the feathers, one at time, in mosaic- Naturalistic pic tures and elaborate designs were worked out .by exact placing and matching of the plumage. A high standard was exacted of the artists. A special dignitary in the king's court supervised the feather work of the state and mistakes were not tolerated.. The artists were re quired to be so careful that sometimes an entire day would be spent in match ing and fitting one feather. The mantles were highly treasured. Kings and chiefs wore them and some times the gods were dressed in them. In war times they "were exacted as tribute by conquring enemies. Now only a few time-worn samples of the Aztecs' skill remain in museums. The Indians do a little feather work for souvenirs, and tourists buy these be cause of the association, but the art is lost. The Vision of an Artist. Mr. Walters left London for New York, but in his studio in Washington Square he still thought of the subtle atmosphere of the Aztec color worK. Artists all about him were ecstatically turning out batik smocks and lamp shades) and they naturally began to inquire why he did engage in the pop ular art of dyeing with wax. He re plied that he had a vision of some thing so ethereally beautiful that batik with its erotic colors and set designs had no attraction for him. After tak ing this stand, there was nothing for him to do but to try and reproduce his "vision. Three years ago. he went to the artists' colony at Woodstock, and set to work in secret. He spent all of his time experimenting with silks and coloring methods, hoping always to produce" something that would give him the same feeling of satisfaction that the old Aztec mantle had given him. Eventually he achieved his am bition. The process, whether It includes dyeing or painting with oils or water colors, he guards carefully. He ex plains that he has put not only his .fortune but his heart and ambition into it. It was evolved out of his own background and interests, and the method as well as the style of the art is therefore an expression of his own personality. Mr. Walters has had a varied ex perience with the arts. He has been a violin student at Leipsic, a student of painting at Munich and Paris, and he spent some time at Oxford delving Intn t Vi a niacin, n n V. a 1 of the ancient Greeks. He invented I a color organ to establish a note scale of warm and mid color an th cin he later used as the foundation of his Aztec color work. Most of the silks in his exhibition are meant for wall draperies or scarfs. Long strips about fifteen inches wide and seven or eight feet long hang on the walls. They float in the breeze from an open window and the rippla makes the colors more iridescent. It Differs From Batik. Mr. Walters explains that this flow ing of the colors involves one of his theories. He believes that shamlv outlined designs are not suitable for textiles that are to be draped or al lowed to float, because the design is lost or distorted when the material falls in folds. He believes that where folds from the charm of decoration, the folds ought to have free expres sion and ought not to be interfered with by i hand designs, that the de signs should float into the folds. This is the reason of the shadowy effects. It Is not easy to descrjbe anything so elusive as the colors in the varie gated hangings. Frederic MacMon nies. sculptor of the Civic Virtue statue which has so upset New York, calls them a poet painter musician's vision of color adapted to fabric. Mac Monnies added, in a flight of poetic abandon, that they reminded him of "glittes and shimmer and sheen of dragon flies' wings and pale sun risings and storm blown gardens." There is one piece entitled "Rain bow." The long strip has at top and bottom a shadowy green and blue lake with slender reeds half visible In the water. From these cool colors the sky rises thru rainbow tints to a vivid orange sunset, and in the 'center of the scarf between the two scenes is the conventional rainbow curving across the sky. "Morning Star Is a blending of dark purple, green and blue suggest ing the sea at daybreak, lighted only by onei. shaft f pale lemon colored ight- Summer Is a silk hanging with a background of sky blue shading into rose. Delicate yellow flowers bloom In the grass at the foot of the piece, and above a single branch of a budding tree stands out against the sky. What the artist considers his mas terpiece of textile decoration is a great pink flamingo poised against an ex otic tropical background. The fla mingo appeals to Mr. Walters as the motif that is most beautiful and best adapted to decoration in form and color. Much as Whistler used a but terfly. Mr. Walter uses a swiftly sketched pink flamingo for his signa ture. With his pink flamingo, his rainbow silks, and an alluring touch of mystery. Mr. Walters has become the talk of the art colonies of New .York and Washington, Evening Story Alice in the Subway. BT JANE OSBORN. He was the kind of man who seemed to be holding a continual competition for the "prettiest girl" or "the most beautiful girl." In this competition he was sole Judge and the contestants were girls he chanced to meet or to see anywhere. When he went into a restaurant where women served he cast his eyes about to find the girl who, in his opinion, was the prettiest. Then he took a seat at a table that seemed to be in her zone. After a dance he could tell you which of the giris was the prettiest, which the most beautiful. In the office of a friend he would' look about in search of the best-looking stenographer. It seemed to be a game that interested him im mensely and that made even a ride in a crowded subway car something of an adventure. Thus he was engaged one afternoon when the offices of the business sec tion had Just poured forth their thou sands of young women to make their way homeward. This time the laurels were awarded without delay. The girl who stood opposite him in the vesti bule of the subway car was so fresh of face, so gracefully proportioned, so brown of eye and golden of hair that she won with flying colors. In fact she was probably the prettiest girl he had ever seen in a subway train. In fact she was perhaps the prettiest girl he Then the surprising thing happened. The pretty girl with quick color com ing to her cheeks, stepped over to him with hand outstretched. "You're John Laurence, aren't you?" she said with perfect convic tion. "I haven't Been you for ten years, I'm sure. Yet I knew you in a flash." It was surprising, because the arirl didn't look, at all like the girl who would respond so quickly to his look of searching interest. "You bet I am. John Laurence's my name, all right." "You don't remember me?" she asked with a little disappointment. 1 remember your face couldn't forget that," he assured. "But for the minute the name has slipped me." "Alice," she reminded. "I used to sit in front of you in school. You used to walk home after school, too, snd carry my books. And I used to call you Johnny to tease you, and you used to put the end of my braid in your ink well." "So I did. so I did. You look Just the same. Let's see, how many years ago was that?" "Ten. wasn't it?" she figured. "We were fifteen then and we're twenty five now. That's ten, isn't it?" Enormous satisfaction swept over the man. He was thirty-two, and a girl who didn't look mora than twenty thought he was her own age "I guess I look a whole lot older than you," he flushed. "Well, maybe, but then I suppose you have worked pretty hard. I heard you had graduated from Harvard and had gone in business with your uncle," she said, and again the man swelled with pride. So he looked like a Har vard man, did he? "Weren't we fool ish?" she went on. "You and I used to be such good pals, John, and then we quarreled over some trifle." "We were more than pals, weren't we?" said the man, making a success ful effort not to overdo the matter, yet eager to know what role he rwas entitled to play. "Oh, you used to make calf love. John, but that doesn't count. We'll forget all that. But I'd really like to see you again and talk over school days." She put her hand out. "Come and see me some time. I live exactly where I did ten years ago. The neigh borhood hasn't changed. I am getting out here tonight to see a friend." And there the man stood glued to the side of the car. Why he didn't follow the girl out of the car he could not tell. When he came to Jiis senses and tried to follow, the subway door slammed in his face. That night he took note of the facts on hand. Tho he had no thought at first that the girl was Just getting an excuse to talk to him he was assured. as her face and manner had assured him that she was not the kind of girl to do that sort of thing. He was sure of hcr try. She had simply mistaken hlm,,fr e08 one else. All he knew of her was that she lived where she had ten years ago. that her first name was Alice, and that she had gone to school ten years ago with a man named John Laurence, now twenty-five, who had graduated from Harvard, and bore a striking re semblance to him. Jim Kelly. -After all. the clews were not bad. As the man thought it over, he believed that the girl realized her mistake before she left. Much as he admired nis own personal appearance he could not be lieve that she could have looked at him as closely as she did and not realize that he was more than twenty five. Jim Kelly took time the next day to drop in t the Harvard club in town and find from there something of one John Laurence. 'He found that he lived and operated, with his uncle, a factory, some sixty miles out of the city. The next day was Saturday and Jim had promised to take Kate Hick son, to whom he was then engaged, to the theater, but he made his ex cuses and took a 2 o'clock train to the home of the Laurences. He found John Laurence, and was not flattered at having to consider himself his double. To be sure, they were of the same build and coloring. Their features were similar, tho John Laurence looked his Junior by ten years. But while Jim Kelly was the mirror of fashion, with affected sprightliness of manner. John Lau rence seemed indifferent of his ap pearance was digging around some apple trees -in his orchard in a pair of old army trousers when Jim called. "I've come on a rather curious er rand," he began in a grandiose man ner. "You see.: I happened to meet a little gTrl a chance meeting, but we got rather well acquainted. The little girl seemerl to take a fancy to me asked me to call. She gave me her address written on a card and somehow I lost it. Now I didn't want to disappoint here. Being a man of re sources I tried to work on what clews I had. She spoke of having gone to school with a John Laurence said that she thought we might be cousins because of a slight family resem blance. So I happened to be out here today and thought I'd drop around and get you to give me the little girl's address. I can't remember her last name, but her first name is Alice. She said she lived exactly where she did when she knew you. She said she hadn't thought of you once for ten years until something in my face re minded her distinctly of you.t Something in the last remark: brought the color rising to John Lau rence s lace. You lie. were worn very near hts lip- C Jonrr j rence, had thought of Alice many, many timea and he could not believe that his little childhood sweetheart had never once thought of him. "I thought you'd give me the ad dress. I have other ways of getting it, but I want to get in touch with her now so as not to disappoint her." "You'll have to use your other sources, then," said John Laurence. "And I wish you good afternoon." Jim Kelly did not feci entirely thwarted by this rebuff, and two days later when he -chaneed to see the charming Alice in the subway one evening he felt that he had been pe culiarly blessed by fortune. She was even more charming and radiant than she had been the first time he saw ber. "This time I'm going to get your ad drss, little lady," be said. "I must apologize for forgetting to ask you for it the last time." Then he noticed the circle of dia monds on her left hand. Perhaps she had drawn her glove off on purpose. "Does that ring mean anything?" asked Jim awkwardly. "It has the most wonderful mean ing in the world. It is all such i wonderful coincidence'. You know the. time I saw you nrst l tnougnt you were John Laurence, and I guess didn't give you a chance to say you weren't. The very next day -the 'real John Laurence came to see me. He was a very old and very good friend of mine and now. now we re engaged. Don't you think that was a wonderful coincidence?" "Oh, I don't see anything very re markable about that," said Jim Kelly. The subway train had stopped and he suddenly decided it was time for him to get off. "Who'd have thought," he said to himself with a smile, "that old Jim Kelly would play cupid in spite of himself!"

If you are easy to get along with people will forgive you every offense in the whole calendar of sin, and if -you are pleasant to have around, the whole world constitutes it self your guardian angel. You may be as homely as the pro verbial mud fence. Nobody cares, if only you wear the smile that won't come off. You may be as dull as ditch water, without two ideas to rub together in your head. Your society will be eagerly sought if you say the sort of things to people that make tnem reel good. You may be lazy, and shiftless, and inefficient. Nobody cares wnetner you do anything else or not, if you always rub their fur the rignt way.

Look at the households that have nagging saints at the heads of them! We all know women who would check up a 100 per cent perfect in any blue ribbon wife contest. We all know women who deny themselves every thing possible in order to save their husbands money; who burn them selves to a crisp cooking just the things their families like to eat; who sit up half the night sewing so that their Mamies and Sallies may have Just as many furbe!oW3 as richer girls nave; wnose nouses are cleaned and scrubbed until they are so immaculate you might eat off tne floors. But these women are bunches of nerves. They are always fretting and complaining. They are perpetually finding fault with their children and husbands. They consider it their sacred duty to wet-blanket every plan and project. It Is a hanging crime and misdemeanor in their houses to be five minutes late to a meal, or move a chair, or rumple a rug. They never laugh; they are never jolly. They never chum up with their families, and then they wonder why their husbands' and children's idea of having a good time is to get away from home, and why they are not ap preciated, and loved. And they think this Is an ungrateful world because some other woman who is a slack housekeeper, and buys ready made clothes for her children is adored by her family for no other rea son than that she is gentle, and af fectionate, and soft-spoken, and laughs and plays with them, and is always understanding, and good-natured. sWlr.

"You seem different from most danc ing girls. How'd you come to do it?" "We needed the money!" Gertie re pnea witn ner usual nonesiy. "But you you are too pretty to be in a plaee like this." It had been her unusual flower-like beauty that at tracted him, the look of innocence in her face. "I can take care of myself." "I don't know about that!" he re turned smiling broad good-natured smile. "Someone might steal you." "They'd soon bring me back!" Her thoughts flew to Tom Norris rre had forgotten almost, and he had seemed to think her pretty and nice. "Well, I wouldn't! I'm going to come and see you, and take you out sometimes if you will go with me." "I'll go I guess. I'm awful lone some sometimes, even if Ma and the kids, are the best ever. But I don't have much time to go out." She wasn't sure she wanted to be with Murphy. He was miles ahead of Len O'Conner, but not anything like Tom Norris -her pattern the man to whom she compared all other men.

"Then you see I have to be here at 7:30, and it takes me a long time to come. "I see so you study? Well, I can understand that. I got most of my education in night school. I'm a book, keeper in a big grocery store." "Oh!" To Gertie a bookkeeper was a rather superior being. I like you, and when a man likes a girl he ought to teli her who he is, don't you think so?" "Yes, I guess so., I don't know very much about fellows. Ma djn't like me to be with them unless she knows who they are." "Your mother's all right. I'll tell the world! That's the idea, know who a fellow is before you let a pretty kid line you nave anything to do with her." "Say, did Fagin give you a mort gage on that girl?" a young, dissipated looking fellow lurched against the table. "I been watchin' her dance; payin' for the privilege, same as you. It's my turn now. come on over to mv table, kid! I'll give you somethin' beside ginger ale." He slapped his hand over his pocket. No, I am going now," Gertie re plied, sorry she had yielded to her desire to chat with Murphy. "Oh, no you ain't! You're comin' with me." He put his hand on her arm, "Fagin, the boss, is a friend of mine, see!" Murphy's face grew red. belliger ency marked his movements as he rose. "Get out of here and eet ouiek!" he said making a threatening gesture. "No one can insult a kid that's with rne." "So she's vours. Is she?

Murphy ad vanced threateningly. oin- to sit down with Murphy waited no loneer. His doubled fist shot out, and the man went sprawling over the table. The orchestra was playing loudly, popular jazz music, and the altercation had so far attracted but little attention. But the fellow was not yet done. He scrambled to his feet and raising a chair was about to use it as a weapon1 wnen Gertie screamed. Put that down!" Fagin had ap peared on the scene. Forcibly he took the chair from the enraged man then forced him into it. Then he turned on Murphy.

A reader who has been kind enough to write us and to encourage us about these Talks, asks if we are really as serious and sad as our picture makes us out to be. This is a fair' question and one which has been asked eo many times now that we feel it devolves upon us to set many of our unseen friends aright. Ko, we are not sad at all. Tes, we do look very serious at times for we have serious problems to face quite often. It is unfortunate but true thaf one of the most serious times "of our lives is when we face a earners. The man says: "Look pleasant, please!" But the very words frighten us, for they seem to confer the impression that we are ot doing? our duty before this same camera, man. And so we keep as still as night. We do not wink. We even hold our breath, and count ten in our mind while the picture man hold the shut ter open. How could we help but look serious And sad after such an operation? W e wanted to smile as Is our wont but he (this same camera man) said that it wouldn't look dignified. And it was our first thought to look digni fied and wonderful, as well as beauti ful. And so it is that we have no smiling pictures, tho we do smile a great deal and are known for our smile a reai boast: J We like to walk on the sunny side of life and to see the funny side to everything. We have a sense of hu mor, we think which is often more valuable than rare rubies "as a pos session. We like wholesome fun at every stage of the game. We don't like iong faces and solemn processions. We even try to smile and often succeed when we are not much in the mood. So as to put others in the mood, you see. We are very fond of that line of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's: "Laugn, the world laughs with you weep, and you weep alone. LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK BT LEE VAFR. I was jest starting to go out this aftirnoon and I smelt something smelling like pies, thinking. G. pies. And I went back to the kitchen and looked in and Nora was jest taking one out of the oven, being a bewty looking pie and smelling more like pies in genrel- than wat it did like eny partickuler kind, me saying. Hello Nora, wats you making, pies? You aint blind, are you? sed Nora. Mcening certeny pies, and I stood there a wile smelling at it and then I sed. Hay Nora.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS! I Written for The State Journal BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON Dear Mrs. Thompson: A boy has invited me to a picnic. Am I sup posed to take the lunch? DOUBTFUL. As a rule tho girl takes the lunch to the picnic.-It would be absolutely all right for you to ask the boy if he wants you to provide the lunch. It may be in this case that other ar rangements have been made. Dear Mrs. Thompson: T am en gaged to a young marand his mother has never called upon me. Now I have had an invitation from her inviting me to his home for dinner. Do you think I should decline the invitation until she has called on me? RUTH I. Accept the invitation to dinner. Without a doubt your fiance's mother has the right spirit toward you and does not realize you would prefer to have her call first. Do not look for formalities. You will be happier if you meet your husband s people 'with a heartful of love and cordiality. To look for slights would be a very bed start in your new family relationship. JUST FOLKS BT KDGAR A.

HOUSE (From Philadelphia Public Ledger.) "VVe are reassured to learn from his authoritative statement that Mr. Fred Beauvais did not sell Mrs. Stillman'.- letters to the attorneys representing her husband. We knew no gent schooled in the code of the great wide, open spaces would so far forget him self as to sell a lady's letters. In fact, no gent schooled in that code keep a lady's letters. Unless we misread the motion pic tures, to do so would be to violate v ery ethic of the frozen north. We notice, quite incidentally, of course, that the advertising depart ment is billing us as a humorist. We suppose we ought to say somethinff funny. If somebody will supply us with the angle we'll endeavor to meld it into a paragraph. Or, we are willing to "reverse the process. Ott Hay run a photograph, studio in Towanda. There Is the raw material for a wheeze which would set the people to laughing their heads off. I-et some reader who gets over bip on his own front porch try his hand at reducing it to laughter. The news is that Mr. Hearst will run for governor of New York. It is, apparently, well authenticated, but wo are disposed to discredit it. We don't believe Mr. IJearst would take tho best office within the gift of the peo ple. At any rate, he always has resisted every effort of the people to force him into public life. Mr. Dempsey is sailing for home. We have already read his impressions of Paris. So Jras everybody else, and it will not be necessary for the New York papers to reprint them. But we would like to know what Mr. Demp sey thought of Chateau Thierry. If that is a tip to the vaudeville managers they are welcome to it. The champion in a twenty-minute talk on "How the Battlefields Impressed Me" would sweep the vaudeville circuits next winter. t The need of a big, vital star for next season's vaudeville, must be apparent to every manager. It is unlikely that "Babe" Ruth can go out and repeat his triumphs of last season.

One of the things of which the world stands in urgent need Is a more equitable dis tribution of adipose tissue. But after a careful study of the Putnam system, we prefer our own. Marriage did for us all Mrs. Putnam claims for her regimen. And marriage Is a great deal more comfortable and satisfac tory than the course of self-denial which Mrs. Putnam prescribes. Since the foregoing observation vir tually forces us to naive confession, we shall say that when we took the leap in the dark in Massilon, Ohio, on Oc tober 17, 191 1 we once forgot tho date, and it has since burned In our memory we weighed 165 pounds. The proverbial arrow had nothing on us. Now we weigh 395, and the only concern, we have is the fear that we shall replace the three inches wo take off every summer with four during the Lsucceeding winter.

Haury at tracted the attention of Bethel offi cials by the marked success attained by athletic teams of the high school under his training. Atchison Golfers to I ea Yen worth. Leavenworth, Kan., May 24. Atchi son golfists have accepted the Invi tation to stage match here with the local Country club, June 4. The local mashie wielders will hold an elimina tion meet on Memorial day and thirty turning in the low scores will compose the team to go against Atchison. The Atchison Country club selected its team at a tournament May 14. Indianapolis, May 24. The final week of practice for the tenth annual 5G0-mile international sweepstakes race, on the Indianapolis motor speed- l way. Memorial day, finds all the driv l ers trying to get the Jast ounce of speed developed for the qualification trials on Thursday, May 25. This will be the first day for the trials to de termine the order in which the cars will line up for the start of the world's greatest speed classic. The majority of the drivers have not opened up their mounts for the benefit of the fans who throng the track every afternoon, but in the early hours of the morning those who are out tfetep on it" and reel off fast laps. Howard Wilcox, at the wheel of a French Peugeot, the winner of the 1919 race with a car of the same make, has been hitting 100 miles an hour and better in sunrise practice spins. Jttles Ooux, the Parisian, win ner in 1913, has been tooling his Bal lot eight around at the same rate be fore the "rail birds" arrive. How ever when the fans are out the drivers seldom exceed 95 to 98 miles an hour. "The Frontenac half dozen has not shown its real speed, as the proteges of Chevrolet seem to have been in structed to take it easy in practice and not disclose the possibilities of their mounts, but all have been able to do laps at 95 miles an hour. In the Duesonberg camp the drivers also have taken it very deliberately, altho Ralph DePalma in a late spin Sunday evening almost hit the 100 mile mark with his new cream colored Duesenberg eight. One of the drivers who has not shown any speed is R. Clifford Durant, the Oakland, Calif., millionaire. Du rant has not driven for two years and is merely conditioning himself for the long grind. He will drive an eight cylinder Durant Special, the car that Tommy Milton used to win the 1921 driving championship. However, for his conditioning driv ing he is not using his fast car. On his way east from California Durant stopped in Chicago and acquired a oiuiz speeasier or tfte vintage of 1916 It is this car that he is using to re familiarize himself with the brick course and to harden himself for the long drive. Every morning, starting at 5 o'clock he goes out and rolls around the track for 200 miles, at not to exceed 60 miles an hour. The other drivers smile as they pass Cliff Durant, for his mount looks like the race cars of a decade age, due to its height when compared to the race cars of today, and its comparatively long wheel base. Every one of the cars entered will be at the track by Wednesday after noon and the majority ready for a try at qualifying Thursday afternoon. Every car must show an average of 80 miles an hour or more to start. The fastest car gets the pole in the front rank and the remainder of the field line up In the order of their average speed in the 10 mile trials. Norton Is a Record Breaker. Lawrence, Kan., May 24. Emerson Xorton, Kansas university freshman, broke two University of Kansas track records in the Missouri valley tele graphic meet for freshmen. Xorton cleared the bar in the high jump at 6 feet 2i inches, bettering the former record by 1 inch. In the pole vault, Norton made 12 feet, inch,. The former record was 11 feet, 10 inches.

BROWN had swallowed his lunch and had paid his bill. Cautiously ha counted his change. "Here!" he said, sharply, "Take back this plugged nickel and give me a good one!" Mr. Brown walked proudly out. They couldn't fool old Brown. But old Brown had fooled himself. Brown's day was heavy and dull. He lacked "pep." There was a mid-afternoon drowsy spell when he needed to be awake the direct and natural result of heavy, starchy breakfasts and lunches, taken on faith and without question as to value just because the food looked and tasted like food. Thousands of shrewd busi ness men who count their change, take their food for granted. That's what builds up the sanitarium business, and puts the tired "all-done" feeling in to the mid-afternoon of a bus iness day.

CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP Everybody Is Going to the Ball Game lYiclay Afternoon. With weather conditions clearing up and every civic organization in the city pledging its support to the oc casion, Hick Cooley and his Topeka ball clu should receive a mighty wel come when they return home Friday afternoon to open a aeries of three games with Salina. "It's a little hard to work up en thusiasm while it is raining, but I believe it i3 going over big," said George W. Stansfield, president of the Chamber of Commerce, this morning. "So far every organization Which was appealed to has promised to help and some are even notifying their mem bers by letter to be sure and attend the game." It is the plan for the various organi zations to appear in a big motor pa rade on Kansas avenue prior to the game, led by Marshall's band. Tne fact that it will be ladies day, when all women will be admitted to the park free, should help swell the attendance. BOOZE TAX IX KANSAS! Authorities Will Sell Three Ellis County Karma to Collect It? Salina, Kan., May 24. The United States government will, on June 6, sell three farms in Ellis county to collect booze tax. The warrants have been issued from the office of the chief of the federal revenue office, and the notices of the sale have been posted on the farms. They belong to Frank P. Brown, Louis Nemecheck and Alex A. Leiker. The case grew out of the arrest of the three men several months ago by fed eral officers for selling liquor. Offi cers have been unable to collect the license. The tax to be collected is from Brown, $4,242.54; Nemecheck, $5, 309.42; Leiker, $1,992.20. The war rants on which these properties are to be sold are technically known as "dis traint warrants," in this case issued for the violation of the Volstead act. The sale of the farms will be hotly contested and a corps of attorneys has been retained to defend the farmers. It is said this will be made- a test case to determine the rights of the federal authorities in this regard. JUNE. BETTER BULLS, MONTH PLAN A BIG MEET Missouri Valley Track Classic at Lawrence Saturday. 250 Athletes Expected to Com bine to Put Up Records. Jackson County Farmers Enter K. S. A. C. Prize Contest. Manhattan. Kan.. May 24. June will be "Purebred Bull" month in Jackson county. The Jackson County Breeders' association will hold bargain sales thruout the county to further the county's chances in the Kansas Better Bulls contest fostered by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas State Agricultural col. lege, and to increase the purebred holdings in the county. The bulls are to be appraised by a committee of breeders before being placed on sale. They will be brought to a central point, a price tag marked with-the appraisal value minus 20 per cent placed on their halters. The owner of the animal is to make his own price with the buyer providing he does not charge more than the amount marked on the tag. No one can buy more than one bull at a sale. The Jackson County Bank ers association will stand the expense of the advertising and will accept the note of any breeder wishing to re place a scrub bull with a purebred. SENIORS RUN A PAPER Editor of Fredonia Herald Allows Them Run of His Sheet. Fredonia, Kan., May 24. The senior class of the Fredonia high school be came a "newspaper" for one day re cently. The editor of the Herald al lowed, them to take charge of the plant and "put out the sheet." The class apparently wished to do away with the customary costly school an nual. Headlines, editorials and news stories were handled by the class with the assistance of the journalism class of the school. The entire paper with the exception of the market reports and advertising was devoted to school news, quips and pictures of the class. Thistles Best for Cattle Feed? Jetmore, Kan., May 24. For profit able cattle feed, John C. Etherton of this Hodgeman county says young Russian thistles beat anything he ever tried. He filled a 20-ton silo with thistles and declared his milk cows thrived on it better than any other kind of feed. While feeding it to five cows, his cream check averaged $30 a week, he stated. Lawrence, Kan., May 24. Jay hawks, Tigers, Cornhuskers, Sooners, and a dozen other types of beasts and birds will mix up for the annual Mis souri valley track fest here next Saturday. And indications are that there will be both fur and feathers flying before the day is over. Early entries indicate that at leasi 250 choice athletes from Missouri val ley, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska state conference schools will be on hand. The 1922 valley meet will be not only the classic event of this year's season, but track coaches from a ma jority of the schools entered are of the opinion that the meet will go down in track annals as one of the greatest. The event will bring together for the last time a score of valley athletes that are classed among the best- the valley has ever produced. Standing first, are Brutus Hamilton, tne .Mis souri star and captain, and Everett Bradley. Kansas star and captain. But such athletes as Smith, Ne braska; Rathburn, the Ames two miler; O'Leary, valley quarter-mile champion; Paulu, Grmnell dasner; waadell, Missouri nuraler ana vault er; Massey, Kansas two-miler; Max sell, Missouri half-miler. and a score of others cannot be overlooked. More over, from the Kansas conference will come such athletes as Stewart, K. S. N., who broke the 440-yard dash con ference record at Baldwin last Satur day; Mayer, K. S. N who broke the 8 8 0-yard dash record; McKown, K. S. N., who broke the poe vault record, with half a dozen "other Kansas Nor mal stars as well as athletes from Washburn, Baker, Pittsburg, and oth er state conference schools. Who will win the meet? Bopesters are figuring pretty hard on this ques tion. Nebraska and Kansas seem to be the choice. Nebraska won from Kansas in their dual meet; Kansas won from Nebraska in the valley in door meet. Missouri, with Hamilton, also is expected to be in the running for championship honors. In addition to the valley track meet, sport followers will have an oppor tunity to witness the valley meets in golf and tennis. Another sport at traction will be a meeting of athletic directors and coaches from valley schools at the university Friday night. Leafrue of Pen Women Elects. Kansas City, Mo., May 24. The Kansas City League of Pen Women, a writers' organization, at their annual meeting for the election of officers, chose the following: Miss Ella Glad ish. president; Mrs. Lenore Anthony, vice president; Miss Mattie Burton, second vice president; Miss Myra Al baugh, secretary; Miss Pauline Bur ton, corresponding secretary; Miss Emir Ammerman. treasurer; Mrs. Katherine Edelman, historian; Mrs. Helen Hensey, librarian: Mrs. Mary W. Drake, publicity; Mis Martha Persia Smith, auditor. INDUCES La 5a Dr. Humphreys' Number "Forty" Induces Repose, and Natural, Refresh ing Sleep. For Insomnia, Sleepless ness, Wakefulness, Restlessness. The Reason Number "Forty" is a new idea in medicine, and depends for its action on the natural reactions of the body. Whenever an accident happens, whether a cold or a cut finger, etc.; the body reacts to this and eventual ly overcomes it. If this does not take place every accident might prove fatal.. In Number "Forty" we give a med icine, which, in the crude drug would be a stimulant; but, we give it in such quantity and form, that the stimulat ing effect is negligible, the reaction commences almost immediately and the person quiets down and goes to deep. Since this sleep is not produced by a drug but by the natural reaction to the remedy, the sleep produced is natural, healthy and refreshing, and there can be no danger of "habit".

RHEUMATISM IS GONE, AND HE GAINS WEIGHT Topeka Man Says He Suf fered for Sixteen Years Gives Tanlac Praise for Complete Restoration to Fine Health. "Tanlac completely restored my health after I had suffered sixteen years from stomach trouble," said J. C. Welsh, 213 Harrison St., Topeka, Kan., carpenter for the Santa. Fe shops. "My appetite was extremely poor, and altho I ate little, it lay in my stomach and distressed me terribly. I also had rheumatism in my arms and legs, also headaches, nervousness and was unable to sleep well. "Friends at the shops who had been benefited by Tanlac, advised me to try it and after my second bottle, my im provement began.

7 BOYS TAKE D. S. Cooking Practical for Either Sex, Geneseo Tersons Find. Eight Boys Have Just Finished Course In HIeh School. Gencseo Kan.. May 24. "Has the time come when man must don an apron and become, a. 'house-husband' while woman forsakes her duties as housewife and sallies forth as the bread winner." Geneseo is pondering over this in terestins question, and has been for some time. Here is the reason: Eipht boys, said to be of the "red-blooded" type, have just completed courses in domestic science in the Geneseo Ytigh school. During the past school terms, they have been hard at work, study ing cookinir, learning: how to make salads, cook potatoes and fry batter cakes. Why? Opinion is divided in this little town on the answer to this latter question. One theory advanced is that the boys intend to discard that ape-old domestic complaint: "Your biscuits are not as good as mother used to make." and substitute for it an authoritative criticism with data on calories, carbohydrates and protein. Others argue that the members of the class are wisely preparing: for the time when man will stay at home and tend to domestic duties, while the lady of the house is tending to business affairs. But the eight boys have successfully completed their domestic science course, and according to Mrs. Alva Crihfield, their instructor, they have made good. They have been taking eight hours of practical cookery each week. Moreover, the experiences or the eight boys in this year's class have atracted attention of other boys and it is expected that the enrollment next year will be even larger. The boys in the class this year were: Emmett Ram pey, Eii and Jesse Johnson, Porter Deardorf. Hamilton I-aughlin. Victor Porter, tieorce Conkright and Francis Sebesta. There is a practical side to the ex perience of the boys in the domestic science class, also. As a result of ihfir knowledge of cooking, gained thru the class, two of the boys have opened a cafe here, and now claim their cook ing course was the most practical course they took in school.

French, 1134 Jackson street, was unanimously indorsed last night by the North Topeka Civic club, as a candidate for member of the Topeka echool board, to succeed the late H. W. Bomgardner. North Topeka has not been repre sented on the school board for a number of years, and comprising as it does, one-sixth of the population of Topeka, the North side believes this district is entitled to a representative on the board. Mrs. French is especially fitted for this position as she has always taken an active interest in school matters, and has had experience in teaching, having been a teacher before her mar riage. The mother of a large family, most of her children attending the city schools, she is in close touch and sym pathy with all school problems. In indorsing her, the North Topeka Civte club believes North Topeka interests will be ably represented on the school board by one who has the welfare of the schools at heart. When the school board meets to appoint a member to fill the vacancy, a delegation of rep resentative citizens of North Topeka will be present to urge the appoint ment of Mrs. French.

This will insure better camping facilities for tourists at Tnrfleld park, drawing more tourists to these grounds, and incidentally more trade to North Topeka. It was also voted to erect a sign at the Junction of the iolden Belt and Victory highway, directing tour iata to the -Garfield park camping grounds. An incomplete report of the result of the membership campaign, started last week, was made by the chairman of the com mittee, showing that already 231 member ships have been obtained.

WASHINGTON IS AROUSED, TOO Hooded Bands Seem to Hare Big Voice in Present Voting. The Klan Candidates in Both States Making Hard Race Washington. May 24. The unex pected political strength the Ku Klux Klan already has developed in two such widely separated states as Oregon and Texas, is today causing perturbation among both Republican and Democratic members of congress. One Fight in Oregon. Representatives MacArthur and Sinnot of Oregon, ooth Republicans, squeezed thru the bitter primary elec tion in that state despite the Ku Klux Klan opposition to them, but Charles Hall, the Klan's candidate for the Re publican nomination for governor, rolled up such a large vote that an off;ciaI count will probably have to determine whether Governor Olcott, who was up for re-election, was able to beat him out. Down in Texas, Senator Culbertson is facing one of the bitterest battles of his long and eventful political career because he started his cam paign for re-slection with a fiery con demnation of the Klan. Culberson Has a Fight. "If not curbed, it will usurp the functions of the state and be de structive of government itself," said Culberson, of the Klan, and it met his defiance of its hooded legions by pit ting a senatorial candidate against him. The Klan aspirant for Culberson's seat Is R. L. Henry, of Waco, a former Democratic member of the house, who, as chairman of its all-powerful rules committee for number of years, was once a familiar figure about the capital. "I am in favor of the Ku Klux Klan," Henry announced recently. 'Senator Culberson recently said, 'the klan must be destroyed.' I say to him that the klan must and shall sur vive in Texas and thruout the country. Oklahoma Also Sees Scrap. "I hope that the opposition will not force us into a bitter and unrelenting religious warfare, but if they do, wherever you find me in this state, you will find me going about with the fiery cross in one hand; symbol izing the Christian religion, and the American flag in the other." In Oklahoma, James H. Mathers, former prosecutor of Carter county, who was chief counsel for Clara Smith, slayer of Jake Hamon, has Just announced himself as a candidate for attorney general on a platform breathing defiance of the klan. "If I am elected I guarantee that Keep your flashlights ready for instant use with Eveready Batteries they fit and im prove all flashlights. Get some fresh batteries today.

TO HELP DISABLED VETS Plans Under Way Tor State Headquar ters in Topeka. Plans for the organization of a state headquarters of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War are to be formulated at a meeting of the local chapter of the organization at the American Legion Hall, 210 West Sixth avenue, tonight. There are five local chapters in the state, at Pittsburg, Manhattan, Lawrence, Wichita and Topeka. It is planned to have the state head quarters in Topeka, to handle all Kan sas cases of disabled veterans who have not received the full compensa tion to which they are entitled. The proposition of organizing a col ored chapter among the coioied stu dents of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute near Topt-ka who are receiving vocational training there at the expense of the govern ment, will also be considered. The membership of the Topoka chapter is steadily being increased, by the addition of disabled veterans, and there are still other disabled men in the city who are eligible for mem bership. A budget calling for the expendi ture of $500 for .the immediate needs of the local chapter and the establish ment of a state headquarters, will be presented to the active clubs of the city, thru the Chamber of Commerce, in the near future. Two members of the committee which will present the plan for raising the money by popu lar! subscription are rr. Edmund J. Kulp, pastor of the First Methodist church, and Col. Frank L. Travis. Other members of the committee will be added attonight's meeting. The organization claims to ha-e performed many services for the dis abled veterans of the war. A ruling has been established permitting vet erans who are receiving vocational training, to keep the books and tools with which they were supplied; a claim service with headquarters one block from the Veterans' bureau of the government in Washington; an average of twenty-five claims a "day of disabled veterans are being settled, thru the efforts of the organization; local chapters are providing enter tainment for men in hospital, club house facilities, and summer vacation camps. The disabled veterans organization and the American Legion are co operating to secure the most benefits of government compensation for dis abled men.
