I State Deputy Malone Writes for Knights of Columbus. SAYS ALLEN UNDULY ALARMED "Catholic Church Is "ot a Political Organization." Religion "ow Enters the 1922 I Political Campaign. j Religion was today injected into the muddled political situation in Kan sas -when James A. Malone, state deputy for the Knights of Columbus and former state senator, took Gover nor Allen to task for his Great Bend speech. Malone. who addressed a let ter to the governor, defended the loy alty of Catholics to the constitution and principles of good government and resented declarations that civil war threatened because of the Ku Kiux Klan and Catholic antagonisms in this state. Malone defended the Catholic church against the governor's attack as parti san politicians who refuse to vote for candidates who are not Catholics. I fear you are unduly alarmed." says the former state senator. "There is not the remotest possibility of serious strife insofar as the Catholics are con cerned. We stand for law and order." Not Political Body. Again in -defense of the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic church participation in' partisan affairs, Ma lone again challenges the governor. "The Catholic church and the Knights of Columbus are not political organ izations," ht-r;say- "We do not want Catholics to te political agitators nor office hunters, but we do want them to be Americans in the truest sense of the term." Governor Allen followed his Coffey vilie speech with a talk at Great Bend Monday night where he bitterly as sailed both tne Ku Klux Klan and the Catholics. He charged that one was almost as bad as the other and that "Kansas in not more than a pistol shot from civil war He added that he belonged to almost every order ex cept the Klan and the Knights of Columbus and would not join either. tepervh a Bomb Shell. The Great Bend speech was a bomb she'l iu political headquarters. Lines had been practically established by virtue of the governor's severe attack on the Wan. He had won plaudits of the Catholic and anti-klan organiza tions as well as "hlintfreds" of persons not directly affected out opposed to principle of masked action. Now the Great Bend speech threatens to scut tle the ship. Malone's letter is raf.ier mild man nered and charitable. It pledges the church's support of the governor in his fearless stand for human- rights under the constitution. But back of the honey-coated tone is an awful allop that may have a lot of effect on election returns.

My Ienr Governor You are quoted In the Topeka papers as saying: "Kansas not nut re than one pistol shot from war" be cause of hatred between Catholics and the cneuiy of the Catholic church. I fenr you nr unduly altrmed. There is not the re motest possibility of such serious strife, insofar at least as Catholics are concerned. We staud for law and order. We respect and obey, legally constituted authority. We ire taught by our religion to love our I'uemy, to lo good to those who hate us. to pray for those who persecute and (-aiimtitiate us. Hy the very teachings of our church we are bound in conscience as Catholics to defend your rights as a citi zeu t ho you are a Methodist, nod the rights of every other man regardless of his religious belief, and we must defend yoti with our life if necessary. We stand firmly upon the term of our state con stitution which provides the following "'ue right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience shall never be infringed; nor shall any control of or in terference with the rights of conscience be permitted. No religious test shall be re rtilred for any office of public trust nor for any vote at any election." We do not ask anyone to- defeud ns as Catholics. We have never souKht special i favors or privileges, but we demand our j rights ns American citizens and as Amer- j lean citizens we are willing to defend those rights even as did our forefathers. The quoted statement "Cnthollcs who go ....1 an x- T dn not vote for n man who i is nit a Catholic," is manifestly unfair to Catholics. Catholics never say I do not vote for a man who is nt a Catholic." the nianv do not vote for Catholic candi dates precisely because tbey are Catho lics.

The two sections in the path of the storm are in the outlying sections and few persons in the main part of the city knew of the tornado having struck until this morning. Organized plans for a search of the debris is be ing effected and preparations are un der way to care for the homeless. Approximately 100 persons are with out homes and their household and personal effects are strewn for blocks. Barely a dwelling in the storm's path escaped the terrific wind. Portions of houses were carried for hundreds of feet. An unusual incident was the fact that but one house in the southeast section escaped destruction. The wind failed to topple it over, but literally swept It with flying debris from the other wreckage. J'reoeded by Heavy Rain. The home- of Harve Shelton In the northeast-portion was completely de molished, but none of the seven mem bers of the Shelton family received more than slight cuts. A terrific rain preceded the tornado. Halloween celebrators who were still out at that hour said their attention was at tracted by a heavy roar and then ob served the tornado's approach. Two persona were taken to a local hospital shortly after the storm, which lasted but a few minutes, had passed. Others were treated for injuries of more or less seriousness by physicians who were summoned. Heads of families administered first aid as best they could to injured rela tives. One man driving a motor car into the business section was stopped by a reporter for questioning.. After answering questions briefly, he said he must go in search of a physician for his injured children. WILL ACCEPT FARM PAPER P. W. Goebcl Soys K. C. K. Banks Will Take Such Securities.

Emporia, Kan., ICov. 1. For the first time in eight months more freight cars are coming toward Kan sas than are leaving the state. Clyde i Heed, public utilities commissioner, I declared today. "The excess of cars coming our way is encouraging," Mr. Reed said. "It means nroiress is being made to re lieve the car shortage, but relief will be gradual and Kansas farmers should not expect immediate results." Mr. Reed described conditions caused by the car shortage in western Kansas as "very bad." Wheat eleva tors are full, he said, and only a few cars are available to move the grain to market. "Statistics show a surplus of cars in the east," said Mr. Reed. "We are hammering to move these cars back to Kansas and the report today that an excess is headfd our way means improvement of freight service in Kansas."

France pur chased 50,000 records and distributed them free in the homes of Maryland voters. One side of each record bore a series of excerpts from France's prin cipal campaign or senatorial address. His talk, once the record was put in use, boomed with all the vigor he used in senate speeches. On the opposite side. France had inscribed the strains of "The Star; Spangled Banner" and "Maryland.

SHOOTING BECOMES A PUZZLE Ownership of Revolver Is One Mjsterious Feature. Bullet Which Killed Mrs. Carle ton Fired Downward. (By the Associated Tress Havre, Mont., Nov. 1. Unexplained features of the double killing early Friday of the Rev. Leonard Jacob Christler and Mrs. Margaret Carleton. a member of his congregation, still puzzles authorities here today. When a coroner's Jury Saturday night returned a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Carleton did the shooting while under the Influence of an over dose of sleeping powders the matter appeared closed. Mrs. Carleton's mother. Mrs. Joe eph Pyle of Butte, was not satisfied, however, and asked ftirther investiga tion. Within the past twenty-four hours, it was shown that the bullet which killed Mrs. Carleton had been fired downward, not directly into her body, upward, as had been testified at the coroner's inquest. Tells of love Affair. The husband of the dead woman, former District Judge Frank E. Carle ton, now in California, issued a state ment asserting that Mrs. Carleton had comessed to him her love for Rev Mr. Christler and haJ Intimated that her love was returned. Mr. Carleton condemned what he characterized as an "attempt to whitewash" Mr. Christ- ler's character. Ownership of the gun which was used in the killing is another mystery. It was not known to have been Mrs. Carleton's. Mrs. Pyle fclso has claim ed that diamond rings .which Mrs. Carleton was seen wearing Thursday evening have not been found and has suggested that if the rings were taken from Mrs. Carleton's hand after the shooting the revolver might have been placed in the open palm at the same time. Only Ond Story Told. The only story of the shooting told so far was that of Mrs. Christler, said to have been the only other person in the Christler house at the time. She had her back toward Mr. Christler and Mrs. Carleton when she heard two shots, and turned to see Mrs. Carleton fall, she told the coroner's jury.

OPPOSE ROOSEVELT HONOR Daughters of Confederacy Say He Vir tually Called Duvis a Traitor. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 1. )ne of the reasons why a tree in honor of the memory of former President Koosevelt should not be planted on the sacred ground of Alabama's capi tol is given by the United Daughter? of the Confederacy because Roosevelt appointed a negress, Lillian Cox, as postmistress at Indianola, Miss. It is also said that when president, Roosevelt had chiselled from a bridge near Washington the name of Jeffer son Davis. It Is claimed that at the time Rooaevelt virtually said that Jef ferson Davis was a traitor. To dedicate a tree to Roosevelt within earshot and on the capitol ground where Jefferon Davis took the oath of office, as Confederate president, it is claimed, would be in vading sacred ground. K.

"I am not in favor of anti-strike legislation unless the government at tempts to substitute something better than the strike." Will Ctjnveno November 20. Considerable significance was at tached to Cummins' statement in view of his close relations with President Harding who consulted him frequent ly during the rail and coal strike lant summer. The decision of the presi dent to call congress November 20 for a special session -prior to the regular one beginning in December, Is expected to be followed by a mes age from him in which he will not only urge the enactment of the pro posed ship subsidy bill, but will offer a number of important and concrete suggestions as to railroad legislation. The "agricultural bloc" in both branches of congress is already plan ning to take a leading part In what ever efforts are made to amend th transportation act and it is kaown that Senator Capper, Republican, of Kansas, is determined to force amen datory legislation which he and his as sociates from so-called agricultural states hope will bring down freight rates for the farmers. Farmers To Make Demand. There are ample indications thnt the farmers' group in the senate and house will answer organized labor's demand for a "living wage" by declar ing that the farmer is also entitled to one and that the wages of railroad workers cannot be fairly or econmic ally boosted at the- expense of the agriculturalist who Js now paying al most 'prohibitive freight rates.

On their way to parties and dances, or returning from them or just out promenading there were some weird variations of the form divine and its trappings to be seen on the streets from 8 o'clock in the evening until late at night. Disguises and outlandish costumes which ranged from mere paper caps to faithful portrayals of beasts Of the field, fiends from the pit, and the vi sions of delirium tremens, wandered at large up and .down the sidewalks. There was a tinge of Mardi Gras li cense in the air and acquaintanceship between the sexes was on a free and easy basis. All Sorts of Costumes. Therewere "cake eaters," grossly exaggerated as to costume and side burns; there were hoboes in stages of dilapidation which no self respecting hobo would commit; there were cow boys who would scare a prairie -dog MOTORIST FAILED TO STOP Myrna Kuclme Was Rendered Uncon scious When Struck by Car.

Every inch of parking space along the avenue was occupied by motor cars bearing spectators of the parade along the street or masqueraders in the seats. The occasional patter' of rain went unheeded. Costumes were not of a nature to easily take harm, and spirits were too high to be dampened. The high temperature favored the revels. Not only, the private parties, but the general ensemble, bore the true tinge of Halloween and neither the police patrol car, which made a hurried dash to the corner of Eighth and Kansas avenues about 9 o'clock in search of some marauder, 1nor the ambulance which trundled its burden of suffering humanity thru the crowds of merry makers about the same time, were heeded. 25 YEARS 'AGO IN TOPEKA'!

TEACHER NOT A CRIMINAL Mildred Ward, Who Sent Gun Lover in Prison, Is Paroled. to Leavenworthv Kan., Nov. 1. Mil dred Ward, Fairbury. Neb., school teacher, was sentenced to not more than ten years at the Kansas indus trial farm for women and immediately paroled when she pleaded guilty to the charge of smuggling a revolver into the Kansas state prison at Lan sing, in district court here yesterday. She was required to give a bond 01 $700 and to promise not to violate the laws for a period of two years. County Attorney jj. w Hooper rec ommended that Miss Ward be granted a bench parole, after he had conferred with Warden M. F. Amrine, of the state prison, and Judge J. F. Wenior granted the parole. Miss Ward was, arrested late in Au gust, when it was charged that she had smuggled an automatic pistol. baked into a cake, to "Doc" Ward, an inmate of the prison, to assist him to escape. Ward gave the scheme away, 'squealing" to the prison authorities. supposedly to secure a parole or par don. The pistol was found and no prison delivery resulted.

Once more there has gone out from the governor's office a call to the peo ple of Kansas to observe Armistice day. Willis Fletcher Johnson, writ ing in the North American Review, suggests that the recurrence of an other anniversary of the Armistice will be honored more In ignoring; than in observing it; and so far as it is commemorated it will be in humilia tion and bitterness of spirit. Four years ago, he points out, the picture was of peace in all the war-sick world, of justice executed upon the great criminals of the war, of repara- ion in full, to the last cent, by Ger many, of the expulsion ana exclusion r the Turk from Europe, of the res toration or the Armenian nation, and of enduring harmony among the al lie d powers. And now, instead of peace, war: instead of Justice, immun ity for the great criminals; the repa ration required of Germany pared -flown to a ridiculous fraction; the 'Turk returning to Europe more strongly than before, tlie remnant of .Armenia delivered to its destroyer, "and the allies bickering among" theni selves and drifting straight toward "t'Utright estrangement. 'Today," says this writer, "we are as much in need f an armistice aa we were in 1918 At the risk of a contradiction of terms ,we need an armistice of peace. For if what we have today be peace, it would be far better to have war. The war of Belloau Wood was better than the peace of Smyrna." Tho Mexican government has topped the mintage of any more sil ver coins, deeming the amount in cir culation sufficient at present. Here is a chance for the Mexican politicians to base a campaign on the "the crime" of '2i. The stealing of a quantity of fire amis from, a local hardware store by burglars proves that as long as such weapons are made criminals will get thena even if they must steal them. The way to check crime is to stop t":o manufacture of guns of all kinds. "BUSINESS IS GOOD." Kor the first time in two years, says Armour's monthly business review, it has been possible to write the words business is good," unqualifiedly. "Within a remarkably short time, in dustry has recovered from the serious ills which were orn of the coal and railway strikes, it Is pointed out, and by now has progressed to the point at which it is possible to say that a gen eral stabilization has been effected by all industrial occupations. It seems entirely probable, says the review, that the level on which business is to day is to become the true normal from i"which the ebb and flow may be fig ured or some time to come. The. "Annalist" says in a recent Is- -ue. discussing the business situation: 'General business conditions con tinue to be of a highly satisfactory character. Developmenta have served merely to further emphasize that this .business expansion is being built upon sound principles, and that it may be expected to continue at an increasing ;pace. It would be natural to expect that business at this period of the year would show improvement, no matter what might have been the rec ord of preceding months. We are ad vancing now into the holiday period, and this in itself serves to stimulate activity in retail lines. Furthermore, at this time of the year the purchas ing power in all parts of tiie country Is at the peak, and this is particularly true of certain sections this year." In continuation the "Annalist" says: In ths south, for instance, there has been heavy marketing of cotton, and the south has received a price for this staple which affords an excellent re turn on labor and capital involved. It is also true that in the west a goodly portion of the grain crop has been marketed, and the buying power has been correspondingly raised. Thus there Is established the foundation for increased activity in all lines, and it is this which bears a direct influence oar conditions this year. To a certain extent tbe demands for the holiday period are peculiarly seasonal, and it often happens that with the turn into a new year there is a reaction which leaves industry. Bo far as retail lines are concerned, in something; of a prostrate condition. There is, how ever, no reason to expect that such a situation In its broadest interpreta tion will apply this year. The record of the last nine months has been one of steady progression in business and finance, and the under lying situation has not been changed in. the least. The money for business purposes is in plentiful supply, and will probably continue so. and under such circumstances there is no reason to doubt the correctness of the view point of business men that operations can continue confidently in the full expectation that prosperity is more nearly of the present than it has been at any time sice the process, of der flation brought drastic readjustments and staggering financial losses. It is interesting to note that Senator Capjer's newspaper has come out edi torially in opposition to the ship sub sidy. Since the senator is the ac knowledged leader of the farm bloc it may be confidently expected that the bloc will be found opposing the sub sidy bill when the measure comes be fore congress at the special session. v THE BRITISH VIEW. Nothing has been ley undone by the advocates of the ship subsidy bill in their efforts to jam the measure thru congress. In addition to carrying on a campaign thru the mails and such part of the press as is friendly to the scheme, they have procured the pas sage of a tariff bill designed to curtail our foreign trade. Also they have obtained an order prohibiting liquor on American ships, while foreign ves sels are permitted to remain wet. They expect by placing all these han dicaps on American shipping to con vince the country that a subsidy is an absolute necessity. As a part of the subsidy propaganda it is charged that England is making every effort to prevent the passage of the subsidy bill. It may bo interest ing, therefore, to get the viewpoint on American, policies from a high British financial authority! A bul letin issued by Barclays, one of the biggest banks in the United Kingdom.

Bankers all the world over usually support the theory of free trade. It may be that in certain instances they have an insufficient appreciation of the peculiar needs of individual countries, but it would certainly seem that tho mutual antagonism of a high protective tariff and the desire for an active foreign trade is sufficiently clear.- Yet the adoption of the new Fordney tariff in America coincides with the apparently incompatible de sire to build up a big export and carrying trade and to receive payment of an immense foreign debt. Since 1914. th- United States mer cantile marine has expanded to many times its pre-war capacity, and every effort has been made to establish it upon a profit earning basis. In some quarters it is suggested that the Ford ney tariff is designed to benefit American shipping, but it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that if the tariff is effective, the volume of im ports into America must be reduced, and that even if cargoes from the states are available it will be Increas ingly difficult to obtain return freights. Such conditions would obviously make unsubsidised competi tion with foreign lines impossible. Again, the direct effect upon the ex port trade of America of a drastic curtailment of imports may well be disastrous to her carnini trade. There are certain products which, to the extent that they cannot at the moment be obtained elsewhere, will continue to be exported, but even for these the demand must be restricted by the increasing cost and the dif ficulty which a prohibitive tariff op poses to all forms of final payment. It Is equally true that, indirectly, the internal trade even of self sup porting" America is to some degree threatened by the new tariff. An ever diminishing demand for Ameri can grain and American cotton must oe reflected in reduced consumption by the producers of grain and cottnn. and this in turn will react upon the prosperity and the consequent pur chasing power of all sections of the community. Jt has been suggested that, so far n this country is concerned, the new Fordney ..tariff, instead of being a menace, may prove advantageous. We are indebted to America, and we pro pose to commence the payment of in terest and sinking fund. Each year we purchase raw cotton in the south ern states and wheat in the west. To repay our indebtedness and to make payment for, our purchases, goods must enter American ports, for it is clearly impossible that anv country can at once Insist upon receiving pay- eni ana decline to receive it in the only form It can possibly be made. It our manufactures are excluded... then pa ment must bo made in raw ma terials obtained from other countries in exchange for British instead of American manufacture? It is, therefore, possible that from the restricted point of view of our own position vis-a-vis America, the adoption of yet more prohibitive duties in that country may benefit our exports and carrying trade at the ex pense of thOoe of America. The legislature- which will meet in January probably will be subjected to the usual demands for appropriations and commissions to carry out the plans of the innumerable welfare or ganizations. Some years ago a survey showed that one in every thirty adults was helping in some way supervis ing, inspecting, instructing, protect ing, nurstag. burying the other twenty-nine and their children, in ad dition to what these twenty-nine were doing voluntarily and privately for themselves. Bot this ratio of official welfare work has been raised greatly in the intervening period. A review of legislation fat the various states showed that 104 boards and commis sions had been added in a single year. "With indications of satisfactory elections at home and abroad. "v says Henry Clews, "market sentiment should improve, as many stocks are again reasonably cheap." But Just what kind of elections are satisfac tory? Also it would be interesting to know what are the indications on -which Mr. Clews bases his conclusions, TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau sTBEDEBIO HASH TIT, Director, Washington. D. C STIMCLATINC; THE IMAGINATION Washington, X. C, Oct. 29. If you have read some particularly unin spired fiction lately you will be glad to know that methods of measuring imagination are being evelved. How to induce all the vriters and would be writers to test themselves is, of course, another problem, as yet un solved. In recent years therf has appeared a vast literature designed to show that anybody who is so inclined can turn out fiction. Theresult r.f this teach ing has been that magazine offices are flooded with neat stories carefully put together by rule and carefully con forming to the psychology of reader and editor, as the textbook advised. Thus scarcely a fiction writer in the country remains ignorant of the established fact that editors abhor blue ribbon bows on manuscript. It is widely understood -that a rolled manuscript would be coldly returned unread. Also, few if any fiction manu facturers are unaware that a happy ending is as-necessary to a story as a snappy beginning. Editors, a writer is told, acquire the habit of reading the first page and a last of a story. If they are are aroused from their apathy the interior of the manuscript may be explored. Such beliefs have become tradition among the vast circle of fictioneers. The creative faculty, being more elusive, has been passed over vaguely by most textbook writers. It assumed that a certain amount of imagination goes "with the desire to create characters and plots. Never- the less most of the "fiction writers who never land simply lack a flexible imagination. They are encouraged by friends and by their own Jifdgments to weave stories when they have no inventive talents or when their im aginations run along stereotyped lines. It must be admitted that occasion ally fiction writers attain success in spite of. this defect. A charming style, a knack of writing from the humor ist's viewpoint, may raise the most hackneyed plot out of the ordinary. Generally, however, the gift of style or humor goes with an original and imaginative mind. The problem of classifying I ma el nation from a literary standpoint attracted Dr. Edwin Slosson and Dr. June Downey. Dr.- Slosson is an edi tor, author, and teacher of journalism. Dr. Downey is a writer and professor of psychology at the University of Wyoming. Using as subjects college students, mainly those interested in creative writing, a variety of tests were made. Tests from the Agony Column. For test material Dr. Slosson went first of all tQ the personal column of the London Times. The personal column in this particular paper notable for its unusual messages, and is popularly known as the "agony column." Lovers who cannot write or get together exchange cryptic eav dearments. Business firms send' sig nals in code. Mothers beg estranged sons to return home, and people of peculiar talents advertise here hop ing that -some reader may need the.r services. Most of the messages are only for the person to whom they are ad dressed, and lhe general reader must guess at the meaning. Such a mes sage as "Golliwog. The gold is gone. Waiting." might refer to an attempted burglary, or a business deal or it might be a lover's sentimental way of saying that a trouble-making blonde had passed out of his life. Dr. Downey tried a series of these items on students asking them to construct a story from a given per sonal and classified the .results ac cording to grades of Imagination. We quote her divisions of imagination here because it may be of interest to the reader to classify his own creative faculty. The divisions are: (1) the inert imagination; 2) the stereotyped im agination; (3) the melodramatic Imagination: (4) the generalizing imagination: (5) the particularizing imagination; (6) the ingenious or in ventive imagination. The last class contains persons who construct an unusual and interestin situation from a hint such as the personals give. They avoid the ob vious conclusions which the stereo' typedmaginsrtion seizes upon. Their imagination is stimulated easily. They do not reject the plot germ In personal as trivial or meaningless, as the inert imagination does. The generalizing type of imagina tion is not specific enough for fiction and the results on paper are apt to be abstractions. This sort of imagi nation usually accompanies the scien tific turn of mind. The particularizing Imagination, on the other hand, is of real assistance to fiction writing. The person who notes the little things that distinguish people and situations has fiction ma terial if he can use It skillfully. When the fifth and sixth types are combined the possessor has a prom ising' equipment for creating stories. The individual who regards him self aa lacking in Imagination may be encouraged by the fact that this faculty can to some extent be devel oped. In a recent book on the subject. Drs. Slosson and Downey explain their experiments in training as well as testing the creative Imagination. They point cut that certain famous artists deliberately stimulated their creative impulse by devices: "Many of the minor eccentricities of genius appear to be the outcome of accidental discoveries of ways of increasing brain activity. Rousseau and SheHey were given to exposing the bared head to the hottest of midday suns; and Whitman wrote much of his 'Leaves of Grass." while prone upon the white sands of Long Island beach, with such a sun as only seems to blaze there." Music and Colors Stimulate. Dr. Downey further points out "that Darwin found scientific reflections stimulated by music, and that Wag ner's sense of the dramatic was heightened by the presence of rich fabrics and colors. Undoubtedly, different brains re spond to tho stimulation of different senses. Dr. Downey tried experiments with combinations of odors on students. Music was similarly em ployed to sea whether themes would suggest striking personalities or dramatic situations to the students. Setting small groups of Writers to composing a story together was still another experiment. Some well known writers have produced their best work by social stimulation gained through collaboration. The experiments were not con-1 ducted by the college professors so much for the purpose of making scientific tables as to show the students Jhe character of their im agination and its possibilities. Ie- vices such as those mentioned, tho two professors call gymnastic exer cises; for imagination. When the subject is explored further we may find that such exercises can be re duced to a scientific daily dozen for thebusy and ambitious fiction writer. He ttias already the classical pre cedent of the "Alice In Wonderland" queen who found it helpful to im agine three Impossible things before breakfast.

"If we told the truth every mother's son of us would have to ad mit that he would like to be the grand pasha of a harem containing all the fifty-seven different varieties of women. "Now civilization and morality, and the high cost of millinery in these degenerate days, prevent a man from indulging himself in wholesale matri mony. One wife at a time is all the law, and his pocketbook, permits him. "And that's where th trouble comes. It's trying to fit the harem ideal to a two by four flat, and monogamy, that is at the bottom of the divorce problem. "For the man demands that his one wife shall be a composite of U the charms and graces of her entire sex, and posseses a dozen entirely different personalities. Naturally, this is an impossibility, but when she fails to do the chameleon act, and change her color to meet his varying moods, he feels defrauded, and becomes dissat isfied witb his bargain. "The real reason why husbands tire of their wives is seldom the fay.lt of the women. It is because the man expects to espouse the whole of wom ankind with one wedding ring. "Most men are not honest enough with themselves to admit that the fly in the matrimonial ointment is their own unreasonable demands upon their wives. Suddenly they realize that their Mary Ann is distasteful to them because she smells of bread and but ter, and that she bores them chat tering of he nursery. Or their As pasia gets on their nerves with her high browed conversation. Or their Maud's bills appear to them too out rageous to be borne any longer, and their thoughts turn yearningly toward some woman who is all soul, or they long for the soothing society ot some lovely moron who does not know whether reparation is the -name of a new color, or a prohibition cocktail, or they begin to- think how comfort able, it must be to be married to a woman who doesn't think that a wife's whole duty is to spend money, and a' husband's to make it for her to spend. "It isn't that the man is really dis satisfied with his Mary Ann. or As pasia, or Maud. It is just a case of other moods, other women. "That's why I have never married. I'm no matrimonial prize, fl'm not good enough for 'one woman- to Bay nothing of being an eligible jparty for fifty-seven varieties, but such as I am, I have such a wide and catholic taste in femininity that T have never been able to decide amongst them. i or instance, just take the mere matter of physical appearance. Ab stractly, I admire, above all else, the tall, stately goddess who looks as if she had been born with a crown upon ner nead. and a scepter in her hand If matrimony were only a grand promenade with all the world looking on, and applauding my taste in wives. how gladly would I cat myself at the feet of such a regal creature, and im plore her to let me be her humble and adoring slave "Then I reflect that a goddess would be a terribly straining proposi tion to live up to, and I- have a pre sentiment that I would get tired of being on my knees. And. anyway, I also like a joliy. little woman who is just a good armful, and whom I could pet and babv. and to whom I could play little tin god." I (Copyright, 1922. by the Wheeler Syn dicate Inc.)

Why is it that some people inspire use the minute we talk to them and others repulse us, even before a single word is spoken? Only today I had such an experi- ence. I went Into an office on a busi ness call.- One man by his very glance seemed to freeze me in spirit. Not that I was afraid of him any way, but that I immediately realized tho uselessness of talking to him or seek ing to convince him of anything. 1 seemed to sense his thoughts before they were expressed. Within him lived from day to day insincere pur poses. Into another office I went. The very expression on the face of the one to whom I talked, told me I was dealing wjtn a real man, whose loveliness of spirit and straightforwardness could be questioned by no one. I wou'.d wel come an argument from such a man. The thing that makes us hannv and leads us on the way to worthwhile ess and even greatness.

We are a poor sort of detective at best, but had the solution of the New Brunswick mystery devolved upon us we should have selected as suspects the person, or persons, most likely to be annoyed, humiliated, or exasper ated by the friendly -relations existing between the dead rector and his choir singer. After that we should have eliminated everybody else. That, we believe, finally has been done. But a good deal of time might have been saved by dsing it as soon as the fact of the tragedy became public property. We have referred to it as the New Brunswick "mystery"; but therets no mystery about it. The trail has always been -as plain as the nose on a detective's face. Well, that's settled. What is the further pleasure of the meeting'? We have 4t from a fiend, who got it from another friend, that Mr. Live right of Boni Liveright, thinks Harry Kemp's autobiography the greatest book of the year. We fancy Mr. Liveright is right about it. Since we first knew Mr. Kemp, now some twelve or fifteen years ago, he has made the tedious and exhausting trip from the University of Kansas to Greenwich Village. And that, as everybody knows, is a tremendously interesting journey. Mr. Kemp is best remembered at the University of Kansas as the stu dent who vever wore -a hat. We haven't seen him for a long tjme. We trust the Eest has not reduced hiin to conventional terms. However, if Messrs. Bonl Liveright wish to print a really interesting auto biography, wc make bold to suggest that of David W. Hazen. of the Port land Telegraph. Mr. Kemp's experi ences, when compared to those of Mr. Hazen. are equivalent to an idle after noon spent in the back yard of the Methodist Episcopal parsonage in Three Rivers, Mich. And. as between the two, Mr. Hazen is much the bet ter writingman. It may interest ycu to know that a copy of "Seth's Brother's Wife" has found its way to this desk and that we have progressed far esjough in the re reading to know, we shall never be eighteen again. The new Farmer-Labor party pre sents many familiar figures; but so far none famous for husbandry or con spicuous by reasoii of labor performed. Still, good may come out of the coalition. Good will come out of it if the farmers in it chance numerically to preponderate. Give them the bal ance of power and the farmers may be trusted to see to it that labor goes to work. Yes, Yes; Go On! Sir Among the hackneyed phrases of modern novelists I have noted the following by that branch of the pro fession known as newspaper reporters: "Hurtled thru the air" (sounds learned). "Limped into port" (imag ine a gliding tiring limping). "Pul chritude" (they have just barred this one). "High-powered car" (no crim inal uses any other). "Our national anthem" (we have none). "Witches burned by Puritans" (no one ever burned in New England). H. C. There is. we regret to note, some criticism of President Harding. Criti cism of a public official, particularly of one of a station so exalted as that occupied by the President, Is so rare in this country that a lot of uniformed folk are sure to construe it as a re flection. Per'onally, we are as adamant support of the administration, but Adelaide seems to be weakening. The kodak of the president and Adelaide, taRen at Meyer s Lake some years ago, has again disappeared. When Warren was first elected it was kept in the living room, where everybody could see it.

Should the man place the engage ment ring on the finger again after the wedding ring has been put on? If he does not, what should be done with tbe engagement ring during the ceremony? ANXIOUS. Invite the wedding guests verbally. Invitations are not necessary. Wear your engagement ring on the other hand during the ceremony and afterward put it back on the finger it is meant for. This is not done dur ing the ceremony, however. Dear Mrs. Thompson I would like to make my hair curly, but I do not want a permanent wave. What can I use. BERTHA H. Nothing has been discovered that will positively make ah', i-p the hair curly, but the following fluid for the hair will keen it in curl when it is first put on curlers: Take a tablespoonful of bruised quinceseed to a pint of hot water. The resultant mucilage may then be thinned with a few drops of essence of violet. The hair is moistened with tbe fluid before curling. LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK BT LEE PATE.

A Stenographer's Romance BY JANE PHELPS A LOVE THAT BANISHED FEAR Chapter 93. Donald had given Nellie a ring. As he slipped it on her finger she asked rather timidly: "Would you rather I wouldn't wear this one, Donald?" referring to the one Geoige Fal'.on had insisted she keep; and which she wore on her right hand. "Why should I? No. Nellie, wear it. He is simply a good friend now, about to jnarry. I hope I am not so small as to begrudge you the pleasure wearing a handsome ring gives you, simply be cause the giver cared for you. Poor devil, how could he help it?" Nellie laughed merrily. She was glad to wear her beautiful ring, but would have willingly laid it away had Donald wished. "I was never so happy oyer it as I am over this one" she told 'him, "be cause I felt I shouldn't have it." "And yoa feel you should have the one' I bought ?"he teazed. "Indeed I do! I feel as if I had be longed to you always, Donald. I never have had a minute's uncertainty. I will try to make you happy, dear, even if I do have to learn to cook before Miss Pitt will visit us." Finally the little home was all ready. They invited Mrs. Roberts to go with them for a final Inspection. Then they would lock It up until they were married which would be in Just a week,. The rooms were good size ami, with their tinted walls and light wood work, very attractive the dining room, smaller than the bedroom, was fascinating with its painted furniture; the china closet filled with dishes of delft blue; the rug carrying out the color scheme as did the draperies at the windows. The living room, cozy, comfortable, and "livable," as Donald declared wast hung with chintz, and the same material was used to cushion the chairs and broad couch heaped with pillows. A good sized table with a reading lamp; a bookcase with Don ald's books, completed the -furnishings. The bedroom was done in rose and gray cretonne; twin beds, bureau and chiffonier of gray. Donald had been awfully extravagant, so Nellie told Mrs. Roberts, and after she had selected the colors had allowed one of the decorators in the department store to go ahead and make up the draperies. "I don't think he was extravagant, and you have a very lovely home." tWait until you have seen this kitchen," Nellie breathlessly inter rupted. When Mrs. Roberts exclaimed over its completeness, Nellie was ra diant. It was all white woodwork, table, cupboards, and ice-box. The rows of shining pans and other cook ing utensils, some of them arranged on the wall over the shining gas stove, gave the room a festive air. "I don't believe any girl evershad a lovelier heme!" Nellie said as they walked back to the boarding house. "I know a girl who might have had a mansion," Donald teazed, "and who is awfully sweet to be) satisfied with four rooms." "Satisfied! I love them more than I could any mansion that ever was built. And I'm not afraid of them, I would be of a mansion."- Mrs. Roberts had been- delighted with everything, praising the good taste, the completeness of the dainty furnishings. She knew it had taken ail of Donald's savings, but he had told her everything was paid for that he wouldn't start with debt hang ing over them. "I'm going to be the best house keeper you ever sawV Nellie declared, so excited she couldn't keep still. "How I shall love keeping that little place in order and cooking for Donald. He's awfully tired of boarding and is already planning things he wants me to cook for him." Later she said to Mrs. Roberts: "I am so happy it al most makes me afraid. I haven't had one misgiving, one single fear of the future." 'True love casteth out all fear,' my dear. And you truly love Donald. Neither have I any misgivings about your future with him. And, dear, true unselfish devoted love is the 'greatest thing in the world'." "nd the sweetest," Nellie added shyly. (Tomorrow Better be sure than sorry.) Dinner Stories It was at the Van Brewster's re ception, heralded far and wide as the social event of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Jones arrived late, a little flustered by the magnificence of the reception hall. Jor.es, in his embar rassment, handed the butler a laundry check. "Pardon me, sir, said the offended official, "but what is this for?" Jones, however, was equal to the occasion. "Two- callers! he replied, without hesitation. Toronto Goblin.

My ship is coming in!" Ted Ravel looked up from his book at the bright-haired, blue-eyed girl who came almost dancing into the lounging room of the boarding house which was more like a real home to all the young people there. As he looked he felt the old tightening ot his heart that greeted her appear ance, for he loved her with all the steadfastness of his nature, while she "Ted, don't look at me with that doglike look!" she saidv suddenly. "You are a good old scdut, and you know" that I know it; and it bothers me when you look that He laughed. "I ll try to look hu man, then, Bright Eyes: but what is this ship you are talking about?" "My ship of dreams, stupid, of course!" Then, taking him for granted, as she always had in a gay and com radely fashion, she went on to tell him that she had just received a note from an old friend of her youth who was coming to see her. "He was my first love." she said tenderly. "But he won't be your iasu I shall," Ted said with a smile but with mean ing. "Who knows?" she answered, half waving him a kiss as she went lightly and happily out of the room. Ted brooded a moment after the immortal manner of puzzled man. "Now, what in thunder makes Beryl take me so for granted? "But what is a chap to do about it Try caveman tactics? hardly; they're not in my line. But I don't intend that this belated sailor wyi run away with her. even if he does. come, on a belated ship of dreams!" he mused to himself. He almost lost his courage that evening, however, when at a. little party where Beryl, winsome and win ning in her sudden happiness, intro duced her old friend and lover. Verne Acton. Acton was tall and handsome in a dark way, and beside Beryl's golden charm, he made a striking pic ture as the two stood together. It was poor balm for Ted's hurt to have Beryl Introduce him as "a real pal." Helplessly, Ted saw the dis tance between Beryl and himself widen as the evening went on a long waste of the gray waters of longing spread between them, over which her ship of dreams sailed from his sight.. As for Acton himself, it was plain to Ted that he on his part was fascinated by the cheery brightness of the girl he had known in early youth. Acton monopolized her that week, and Ted saw the way that -things were going. It was his custom to linger about the fireplace in the lounging room late, and she, coming Jn late after some evening with Acton, would stop to chat wi'.h him, leaving him hen she went still hungrier for her gold and silver self. Then came the evening that marked the end. He knew from the moment she en tered the door what had happened the deep rose flush in her cheeks, the soft light in her eyes told the tale; and ho steeled himself for the news. "Ted, you have always been so good to me, be happy with me!" she said gently. "I am engaged to Verne." Wlnie the castles of his own dreams went to smash around his ears, he said vquietly, "I am happy with you and for you; and I hope you will-be all the years." She looked at him-curiously, a sud den miet in her eyes, and swiftly wont out. The next day, she came t$o him hur riedly, in distress. "Ted, I jammed my engagement ring in my chiffonier twisted the prongs. Verne is kind of funny about such things ea-id he paid a big price for it; won't yoc hustle outand have it fixed for me?" "I sure will!" he said quickly, and out he went, hurrying up the avenue to the store where a friend worked, w? o took the ring and went to his desk. "Fix it up right, Fritz," Ted called. "It's Beryl's ring." Fritz came back a minute of two later. He was short-spoken. "You've a chump, Ted, to let that chap grab Beryl under your nose. Grab her yourself; kiss her "She isn't that kind, and besides Fritz lifted his eyebrows. "Besides, that chap is a piker. That ring, my boy, is just a fine brand pf g-l-a-s-s! It's a fake!" The two men stared at each other. Fritz's curt voice broke the stare. "Go to her and tell her the truth: that will put the skids under that chap. I did not like him from the start too handsome, too smooth!" Ted looked at the ring in his hand. "I I couldn't tell her; besides, are you sure this is not a real diamond 7" Fritz snorted. "It'i; composition twenty-five dollars' worth! Go to her and tell her." Ted shook his head. "I suppose I ought to, but I can't do it!"

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURN Air WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1922 BIG 3 JTEP OUT Radical Methods of West and South Used Sometimes. Pass From Behind Own Goal "ets Princeton 40-Yard Gain. New York. Nov. 1. Seemingly, at 'ast two membea of the very correct r L three" ar inclined to step out Of the part from time to time and re gardless of the old theories of zone plays, essay some of the more radical methods of the west and south. Im agine a Princeton team of a few years ago blandly throwing a forward pass from behind Its own goal line for a forty yards as the Tigers did against Chicago last Saturday. No Tiger team, even in its most inspired mo ments, ever thought of euch a play oeiore. Introduced by lVnn State. The play was first lntroductd by Penn State in 1919, when the great Hipgins sped down the sidelines from kick formation to receive a goal line pass and go on for the touchdown that won tne game. It is our understanding that Yale too. is disposed to forsake the con servative on occasions. ltwas ob served that when Yale got down in side the Army's five-yard line, it lost no time in attempting one of the spread formations that once were a thing of beauty and a Joy forever to Fielding Yost. It was noted also that Yale showed a tendency to abandon the punt on ali first downs frn its own territory. It was the same with Harvard against Centre college, a cross buck from kick formation being the first play and a punt the second, provided the line plunge was not altogether pro ductive of happy results. Small Schools Took Breaks. The "bisr three" football hitherto has called for a punting game under almost any provocation, the idea be ing to wait for the break, w nue tney have been wpiting, several smaller teams have had the temerity to go out d make, their own break, with tin fortunate results.

The Salina squad has made a poor showing this year and the strong Manhattan team w hich recently defeated the Law lence high school eleven probably will tn'.:e the Ion..; end of the score. The Manhattan line this year averages 160 pounds. A passing combination from Cochrane. quarterback, to Smith, halfback, and Price, end. has made several long pains for the Manhattan sii'i'id this year. The Abilene and McPherson high school squads play Friday in McPher son. The dope favors the McPherson squad but the Abilene players have been showing up well this season, holding the fast Emporia team to two touchdowns, and they may take the game. Sportsmanship and a mors friendly tvpe of rivalry have taken great strides forward in high school ath letics during the last few years. Evi dence of this spirit of friendship is found in the large number of football suppers held after games, at which players of both teams are guests. These gatherings, usually held under the direction of the high school Hi-Y clubs, have done a great deal toward developing ileaner high school ath letics. Cnffeyvillo and Caney of the Ver digris Valley league will meet Friday in Caney. These two teams are fight ing hard for a hold on third place in the league standing. Altho the dope slightly favors the Coffeyville eleven, the outcome probably will be in doubt until the final whistle. The In dependence .ind Cherryvale teams are the strongest contenders for the Ver digris Valley pennant at this stage of the race. One of the fastest contests among the high school grid battles scheduled for this week in the southwestern part of the state will be the Eldorado AVinfield game. These two teams have made almost the same showings against teams which they both .have played this season. The contest will be staged in Eldorado, Friday. The Ottawa high school eleven seems to be the favorite in the Ottawa Chasa Countv contest to tee held in Cottonwood Falls. Friday. The Cot tonwood Falls eleven met defeat. 10 to 0. in Its last game at the hands of the Peabody high school team. Ot tawa has a fast team this year and has had a successful season so far. Followers of high school football In southwestern Kansas predict an easy victory for Hutchinson over the "Wich. ita team in the game to be played Fridav at Wichita. Two teams that the Wichita squad was only able to defeat by narrow scores were defeated by wide margins by the Salt City eleven. The Hutchinson eleven this year hu developed a strong forward passing machine, Leavenworth high school plays the Bonner Springs team. Friday, in Bonner Springs. The Leavenworth nlavers have hopes of winning the game but if they do it will be the first time they have defeated Bonner Springs in several years. Leaven worth was defeated, IS to 7. in a re cent game with the Horton eleven. Fort Scott and Cherokee county high schools tangle Friday at Columbus. The Columbus team appears to b the stronger of the two. Fort Scott will nter the game handicapped thru the loss of two of its backfield men. thru ineligibility due to poor scholastic tanding.

Iowa State (7) vs. Drake (0) t Des Moines. Nebraska vs. Syracuse at Syracuse (No game last year). Missouri U. (3) vs. Kansas Aggies (7) at Columbia. Kansas conference and Missouri valley teams are to swing into action this week with some hard games on their schedules, while some of them will not be so closely contested. In Kansas, Sterling meets C. of E-, at Emporia; St. Mary's meets Mc pherson, at St. Marys, on Thursday afternoon: Pittsburg Manual Training normal meets Southwestern at Win field; Hays normal comes to Linds borg to meet Bethany; Kansas Wes leyan will take a trip to Wichita to meet the Quakers at Friends' univer sity, and Washburn goes to Emporia to meet the Kansas State Norma! eleven, on Friday. In the valley, Washington goes to Grinnell to meet the Grinnell college eleven; Kansas meets Oklahoma at Lawrence; Iowa State meets Drake at Des Moines; Nebraska goes east to meet Syracuse at Syracuse, and Mis souri plays the Kansas Aggies at Co lumbia, all on Saturday. Outside the conferences, Haskell meets Marquette at Milwaukee. The Indians are doped for a hard game at Milwaukee. College of Emporia should have an easy game against Sterling. Sterling has lost all of its games this year, and has rather a weak team in comparison with other conference teams. Of course being a small school. Coach Warren Woody has not a large supply of men from which to choose eleven men for his squad. The worst defeat Sterling has sufered this year was the Friends' game, in which the Quakers took the long end of a 24 to 6 score. Other defeats have been by small scores. Southwestern won from the Presbyterians at Sterling, 10 to 0, Kansas Wesleyan won 7 to 0, and Bethany defeated the Sterlingites, 13 to 0. Southwestern and C. of E. tied, 7 to 7. Pittsburg was defeated. 14 to 0. by C. of E., and Kansas Wesleyan lost, 14 to 0. to the Emporians. This would give the College of Emporia eleven the edge on the game by several points. St. Mary's and McPherson are due to play a. close game at St. Marys to morrow afternoon. McPherson won from Hays Normal. 16 to 14. and St. Mary's defeated the Hays crew, 21 to 0. This, of course, gives the St. Mary's eleven considerably the advantage. St. Mary's should have the edge in the contest. It should be a good game. In the game at Winfield Friday, Pittsburg should have the edge over Southwestern, judging from the rally it staged over Bethany last week. Southwestern was able to hold C. of E. to a tie. however, while C. of T. won from the Pittsburg eleven. 14 to 0. Pittsburg is without doubt much stronger than at the beginning of the season, a large amount of the credit for this, of course, being due to Lr. Garfield Weede, each at the Manual school. Southwestern went to defeat by the Baker eleven. 27 to 0, and Baker won from Pittsburg, 6 to 0.

Hays Normal and Bethany should play a close game at Lindsboig this week. Both teams should be fairly evenly matched. Friends will win over Karfsas Wes leyan at Wichita Friday unless the Salina Methodists should spring a sur prise, which is unforseen at this time. Friends won from Sterling, 24 to 6, while the best Wesleyan could do was to defeat Sterling, 7 to 0. This gi-es Friends the edge as far as com parative scores are concerned. Washburn college, of Topeka, faces what should be the hardest game of the season at Emporia, Friday, when it goes there to meet the fast Kansas State Normal eleven, which to date is leading the conference, with four games won and jione lost. While in past years Washburn has been able to take the Ichabods into camp, fre quently, the prospects for winning this year, with the Teachers having one of the best teams in the history of the school in the field, do not loog bright. Then the defeat of the Ichabods by Baker last week has caused a drop in the prospects for a Washburn win. The Teachers, however, should have won from Washburn last year, when a good team was seen at the Normal, but over-confidence on the part of the normal, and the ability of Washburn to work together for the only time during the season, caused the Teach ers to lose to the Ream aggregation, 7 to 10. The dope strongly favors the Normals this year, but several Icha bods believe they will be able to turn the trick again this year and thus in crease their standing in the confer ence which they lost when Baker de feated the Topeka eleven. In the Valley. Washington U., should be able to defeat Grinnell, altho it should be a hard fought game. The Kansas-Oklahoma game at Lawrence is the real game In the val ley this week. Kansas tied with tha Kansas Aggies, and the Aggies tied winth Oklahoma, so it looks like a great battle on the Lawrence field November 4. Kansas' lineup has been changed some since the Aggie game. Lonborg, it is understood, is regular at center; Shannon is at left half; Krueger at quarter; McAdams at right half; probably Burt will be- at full. Holderman is one of the tackles; Ivy. a former tackle, will go to end. It is understood. Cave may be replaced at tackle by another man. So it is quite another lineup that will face the Sooners Saturday, according to word received from Kansas. Drake should win over Iowa State at Des Moines. Drake so far has not been defeated, and bids fair to finish the season with zero in the "L" column. The win over Kansas. 8 to 0, puts Drake eleven In the running for the valley honors excepting Nebraska. These two schools do not meet this season. Nebraska goes east to meet Syracuse Saturday, in what promises to be a exeat gridiron battle. These two schools are believed by some of the brethren to be evenly matched, one man declared the other day, (and he is a man well qualified to judge), that Nebraska has the best team in the United States. If that is true then Nebraska should take the game Sat urday. At least the western school seems to be the favorite. Missouri should lose to the Kansas Aggies Saturday at Columbia. This is another valley contest that will be watched with interest. Missouri fell, 48 to 0, before the Cornhuskers two weeks ago, and are out for blood In the rest of the valley games. WANTS TO MEEPSTRANGLER" Pesek Will Eliminate Heavyweights for Chance at Champ. It appears like an elimination series of heavyweight wrestlers was on the program for the winter, with John Pesek, of Ravenna, Neb., playing the leading role. He is after the crown of "Stranaler" Ed Lewis, and from reports reaching Topeka about the only way he can get to the man who made the headlock famous is Di elimnating all other heavyweights. He has started that program now, and has decided to eliminate Granda vich. the Serbian champion, at Topeka Friday night. Then such men as Daviscourt, Eustace. Hinckley, ana others will have to have their shoul ders pinned before the Nebraskan can have a chance at the "big man of the mat."

TURKEY PRICES THE SAME Topeka Dealers Do Not See Price Re daction for Thanksgiving. Topeka poultry dealers are doubt ful as to whether or not there will be a reduction in the price of turkeys in Topeka this fall. f Dispatches from San Francisco to day state that the turkeys are from 9 to 17 cents cheaper this fall. The lo cal dealers believe the prices on tur keys for the Thanksgiving market will be practically the same, as in 1921. They point out that the birds are scarce in eastern Kansas and the farmers may demand a higher prices for them. Turkeys are plentiful in Texas and dealers in that state might reduce the price about 10 cents per pound, but this would probably apply to the Christmas market, dealers say. An other reason pointed out for the farmers holding out against a price reduction is that the number of tur keys ln this country has decreased over 50 per cent in the 'last few years. The poultry dealers now class turkeys as a luxury. DEMPSEY TO GO ABROAD. May 1 Meet Either Battling SikI or Harry Wills. New Tork, Nov. 1.
