Mrs. Mary E. Limberger, one

her first vote. She voted to put her

Five hundred thousand more tonn
of coal are ordered from England.
The president Invites congress to
consider "drastic action" In regard
to mines and railroads.
Mark Sullivan suggest* that the
strike will soon end because the

Lord Lascelles, who married the
daughter of the English King, went
Into business. Now he is out again.
He started a typewriter factory,
with half a million pounds capital.
The plan was to make a first-class
typewriter, "all British." The firm
has gone into bankruptcy, and Eng
llsh stenographers are buying first-
class typewriters, "all American."
Iu Italy, extreme radicals are
checked by the Fascisti. These gen-
tlemen. led by one who was former-
ly a Socialist, and numbering a mil-
ton. fight on the side of conserva-
tism.
It is said that exiles from Russia,
"victims" of the czar's downfall, will
try' to organize some Fascisti In Rus-
sia to fight bolshevism. It won't
work. Bolshevism has given land
land free to the peasants, taking it
from the nobles. Any Russian Fas-
cist! trying to change that would
simply be knocked on the head.
So they would be In Italy If the
radicals there had been able to give
free land to all the peasants.
The real wealth of the nation is In
Its crops. The two other kinds of
wealth, brains and mines, depend on
crops. It Is a good crop year, never
equalled In American history prob-
ably.
Three thousand million bushels of
corn, the hay crop the biggest ever
known, the biggest potato crop in
history with one exception, one and
a half billion pounds of tobacco
(fourteen pounds for every man.
woman and child In the country),
two hundred million bushels of ap-
ples. The country ought to raise, for
Its health, ten times os many. Men
have been foolish with their wars,
strikes, cheating and striving. But
nature continues her unfailing gen-
erosity.
Columbia University plans a two
foot book shelf for school children.
vSome selections already made are
excellent: "Little Women," "Tress-
ure Island." "Alice In Wonderland."
Andersen's "Fairy Tales." "Aesop's
Fables." Lamb's "Tsles from Shake-
speare. " Mai lory's "Boys' King Ar-
thur," Dickens' "Christmas Carols."
All those books all children should
read.
The best books written for grown
people, nine-tenths of people that
nerd them never read. They should
be rewritten for children, and also
for the nine-tenths thnt do not read
them in the original form.
The president's friend. Colonel
Thompson, of Clevelnad. leads two
to one in a field of nine candidates
for the Republican governoship nom-
ination Besides being the presi-
dent's friend, he is the "dry" candi-
date. Anybody who imagines that
the prohibition amendment could be
repealed in this generation will
learn his mistake by watching elec-
tions.
Here and there In the railroad
news you read of Rome dead and
some dying. Rolling stock without
mechanics to take care of it is dan-
gerous.
Governor Allen of Kansas thinks
it wrong to restore seniority rights
to strikers. Why Is It wrong?
When the strike ends, railroads
will get back everything they had
before. Including equipment and
capital. All that a railroad worker
can sccuinulate is his seniority
rights. To take them from him
would be as unjust as taking the
bonk balances from the railroads In
a strike settlement.
The president knows It, and will,
ft is hoped, stand by bis original
opinion.

TRIBE SPLITS
WITH SIOUX
Pitt's Hit in Sixth Saves Tribe
In Second Game.
The Oklahoma City Indians split
the honors with Sioux City In a
hard contested diamond fight at the
Western league park. Allen went to
the mound In the first game and held
the visitors scoreless for the first
three frames.
The tribe scored one In the first.
In the fourth round the Sioux
brought in five markers, gave them-
selves the leud, and sent Allen to the
shower house.
The first struggle went to the in-
vaders to the tune of 6 to 2.
Sioux City started festivities in the
second game when they brought in
one marker.
The tribe scored In the second
when Felber singled. McDaniel sac-
rificed. Windle singled and Moore
doubled, hauling in a pair of tallies.
The tribe began scoring In pairs
with two in the fifth and two more
In the sixth, which brought the vic-
tory.
Cy Young let the Invaders pass
him up with four in the fifth.
Davis, the Sioux pitcher, held the
tribe well in check in all innings,
except the second, fifth and sixth.
In the sixth, Long knocked a
single. Windle and Moore both
walked, filling the bases, and Davis
stepped to the rubber. Long was
forced out at the plate while Pitt
sent one crashing down center field
and scored both Windle and Moore.
The games were witnessed by a
crowd that easily exceeded four
thousand and with a few more there
would have been a record crowd at
the park.

PREPARE TO BID
ON STATE ROADS
A large number of road construc-
tion companies have had their rep-
resentatives at the state highway de-
partment the past week preparing to
submit their bids on the 39th street
road project, according to B. E. Clark
state highway commissioner.
Bids are to be received August 15,
and the contract let immediately fol-
lowing, Clark said
The National Boxing association
has been slow in taking up the ques-
tion of championship matches under
its jurisdiction and also the creation
of new classes, but a beginning has
been made in both directions and
that is something worth while.
W. H. Liginger, president of the
National Boxing association, an-
nounces that efforts will be made to
bring about little matches where
hitches occur between the contract-
ing parties and clubs, and also that
the Junior welterweight title created
and fostered by Mike E. Collins of
Minneapolis has received official
recognition from the association.
"Recently Mr. Collins took up the
matter of creating a Junior welter-
weight class, similar to the junior
lightweight class, fixing the pound-
age at 140 pounds, weight in at 3
o'clock. His system of having the
boxing fans of the country vote on
the boxers best qualified to compete
for the new title was a good one and
received our sanction. Up to date. I
understand. Pinky Mitchell of Mil-
waukee. leads with a vote of 12,600,
with Eddie Fitzslmmons of New
York next, having 11,700. Then comes
Sid Barberian of Detroit, Jack
Josephs of Minneapolis, Harvey
Thorpe of Kansas City, Paul Doyle
of Boston. Bud Logan of Omaha.
Bobby Harper of Portland. Ore.. Dave
Shade, Morrie Shalaifer and others.
It is a good move and will do a
great deal to stimulate interest in
the game, which has been going so
fine the past year. I would suggest
that the final match for the title in
the new class be held in a city like
New Orleans, where the association
has one of it's chief officers—Rich-
ard Burke, secretary—and the dis-
tance can be 20 rounds to a decision.
"The proposed Criqui-Kilbane
match for the world's title should be
arranged. Crlqul has challenged In
a legitimate manner and is the real
European representative. Kilbane
owes it to his American followers to
defend his title now and the French
lad appears to be the correct man
for the match. New Orleans would
be an ideal place for the match, as
there are mostly French and Italians
there who would give splendid sup-
port to the little Frenchman. It
would no doubt draw a big crowd
there, too. as they have a tine open
air arena seating over 25,000 people
and could enlarge It If necessary.
The association was not formed for
the purpose of being arbitrary or
anything of that kind, but to help ttie
boxing game the same as the national
board has helped baseball, and the
A. A. U.i has helped athletics."
Some of the boxers being voted for
in the contest for the Junior welter
title are unable to make the required
140 poun Is. For instance. Dave
Shade cannot make it. neither cau
Billy Wells, Bud Logan and possibly
Frankie Schoeil. The class of the
lot looks to be Pinky Mitchell and
Eddie Fitzslmmons with Sid Barber-
ian close up. It looks as though
Pinky and Fitzslmmons will be the
pair to have it out for the champion-
ship, and that New Orleans will be
the location. It might be well to
have a few prelims to the final at
some of the cities where 10-round
bouts are held, but Mr. Collins favors
selecting the two with the greatest
number of votes and let them fight
it out. the winner to be declared the
champion and presented with a belt
emblematic of the crown.
After the class has been establish-
ed and a champion created, it would
be within the rights of the holder to
challenge for the Benior welterweight
title—held by the veteran, Jack Brit*
ton.
'Why Do We Say" |
CONK TO THE DOCS.
The above expression, nowadays
generally applied to men and women
who have reached the last stage in
the estimation of society, either
through misfortune or dissipation,
has its origin In the ancient custom
of throwing all table scraps either
on the floor pr Into the streets.
4n nearly every epic of the ancient
Greeks and Romans, we find a ref-
erence to the dogs that roamed
through the great dining halld and
were being fed from the table.
The same custom prevailed in
mediaeval times when the knights
would eat without knives or forks and
throw the remainder of their meal to
the hounds that slept under the
table.
In the east, table scraps were
thrown from the windows into the
streets, and It is asserted that the
great packs of ownerless dogs that
wander through the highways and
bjways of Constantinople and other
eastern cities are the progeny of the
animals who fed on the refuse which
the slovenly Ttrks cast out of their
^omes.

The Reason Katie Got Into Her
Funny Predicament.
I looked from Katie's glistening
face to Lillian s dainty hands covered
with a repulsive-looking mixture of
lard and red and black grease paint,
and voiced the compunction I had
felt ever since I had summoned Lil-
lian to help Katie.
"Dicky would call me 'a prize bu« k
passer!'" I said, putting the cold-
cream bottle and the powder-box on
the table. "But, truly, I didn't mean
to leave all the dlsagreeblc part for
you."
"I wouldn't have missed It for
worlds." she retorted, always raak- *
ing light of her own discomfort.
"Please page a cinema magnate."
' She nodded mirthfully toward
! Katie, who, with her eyes screwed
; shut, as Lilliun had commanded, was
a laughter-compelling object with
her greased face and her tightly-
wound knob of hair on tne top of her
head.
"Look at Yourself.**
I shook my head warnlngly at Lil-
lian. who. with a relaxation which
she rarely permints herself, was'
laughing heartily, though silently.
Indeed. I had hard work to control
my own risibles, but I knew Katie's
quick perceptions, and I feared than
eveu though she could not see us,
and could not understand Lillians
uncommon words—purposely chosen<
—she still might suspect that she!
was affording us amusement. 9
"What can I do to help?" I ksked
in a amtter-of-fact way.
"Get a bowl of warm water and
some soap," she returned, taking my
cue. "I'll rub this lard off my hands
as well as I can with a dry cloth, and
then scrub them well with soap and
water before I attempt the cold*
cream treatemnt."
"Dere varm vater right in pitcher

her eyes shut tight. "I bring me cet

und I no use eet all. Can I open me.
mine eyes now. Meesis Cnderwood"" j
"Yes. for a little bit," Lillian re-
turned. "Take a look at yourself in
the glass, and think twice before yoi*
cut a caper like this again."
Katie unclosed her eyes, skipped
agilely to the bureau and peered int®
the mirror, while I wondered hnw
my temperamental little maid would,
meet the sight of her own ludicrous
reflection. She did not leave us
long in doubt, however, for she bent
toward the mirror and sent peal
after peal of laughter Into her re*
fleeted face.
"Oh! Oh!" she gasped when she*
was fairly out of breath, and Lilllani
and I were looking apprehensively
at the door for fear that. Mother
Graham would bear her and appear
wrathfully on the scene. "You know
vot I look like? All I need is shoost
some salt, pepper and some leetlo
bits of flour sprinkled ofer me. put
my head in ofen. und roast me for
vun nice greased leetle peeg. Ha!

What Lillian Offered.
"Better chop It." Lillian threw
over her shoulder at me from Katie's
washstand where she was scrubbing
the lard from her hands.
"Do you want Mother Graham uo
here, Katie?" I demanded sternly. "If
you keep on laughing like that she'll
he hare."
The threat sobered her instantly.
"I stop me dees meenit." she. said t
docilely, then she shook her fist at
her own reflection.
"You beeg bunch of soup greens!"
she apostrophized. "You so green,
eet is vun wonder dot a nanny goat
don't gobble you oop already. Oh,
eef I shoost had dot vomans here by
me vunce."
"What woman, Katie?" Lillian
asked casually, coming back to the
table with her hands cleansed and \
dried. "Sit down here and close
your eyes again, and tell me about
what you've been up to while I fin-
ish this job. If I rub some cold-
cream on your face now, wipe it off
and put some powder on, you'll look
all right again. Now, go ahead. Tell
me your troubles."
She was working as she spoke, ami
when she had finished talking, Katie
giggled.
"Eet not my troubles," she said,
"But dot vomans she goln' have lots,

you tink of her selling me all dees
stuff, nefer telling me how to get

"What's the big idea. Katie?" Lil-
lian replied with apparent careless-
ness. "Do you still want to try tha
movies?"
"I no tell dot yet." the girl replied.
"But eet no hurt for me to practice
oop. I pay me feefteen tollar for les-
sons, und no vant to trow dem avay,
Und somebody in de beeznis tell me t

"No doubt you will." Lillian as-
sented cordially, while I gazed at her
In open-mouthed surprise. "By the
way, I know quite a little bit about
that business myself. Suppose yo-i
do some of your exercises for Mrs.
Graham and me some time soon.
Then I'll show you about this make*
up thing.
"There," she went on, "your fa^«l

dress as quickly as you can, and then
come down to the library. Come,
Madge, she doesn't need us any
