agency, made a plea for correction.
Even though agency and "associa-
tlon' are synonymous, it seems that in
the case of employment business there
| is vast difference. Mr.. Kearney de-
| sires to inform that he has not sold
| his permit and that the famous Bob
| P1gg is the ex- owner of the associa-
| ton.
! City Engineer Rogers is preparing the
| paving plans for the coming paving sea-
| son and they will be submitted as soon
| as possible. 1t is planned to have all
| of the paving contracts for the coming
| spring closed before the end of Janu-
| airy. Then the work can be commenc-
| ed as soon as the thaws arrive and the
| dirtiest work Will be finished when the
| hot summer days make their appear
ance.
The Hall of Fame gallery in the city
| hall is vacated. Not a photograph of
any kind has been placed there for
many moons. The last famous person
to occupy this allotted space was the
serene cOuntenance of City Attorney
Dreaming but before any further trou-
BILE he removed the photograph. 1t
| has been suggested that the streets and
walks committee get together and have
| their group taken for the position.
The Chronological laboratory is de-
handing attention again and further
communication from Arthur Mcdonald,
ternatiOnal Congress of Criminal An
thrOpology of Europe, has been sent to
the State Journal stating that contrary
to the ideas of the city council, the
laboratory could be established in this
city under dictatorship costing but
$1,000 a year. Mr.. Mcdonald is very
anxious to see such an institution es-
tablished in the city of Topeka and he
has taken the matter up again with
Mayor Green. Mayor Green is still
doubtful about the city being able to
stand such a proposition
DR.. Emil c. Wilm, of Washburn col |
lege who is at the head of the psycholo- |
gical department of that college, is |
strongly in favor of the idea. In speak |
ing to his classes at the college the |
other day he pointed out the great adj |
vancement in Chronological study in
the last few years all through the study |
of man himself. He condemned the use
of the city prisons in attempting to
scare Il man out of crime by heavy
fines and Imprisonment.
There are many people who have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the new
system but considering the great ex-
pense the city is now under it seems
useless to attempt such a mammoth !
scheme. The city council itself is in
favor of the new method but it is look
ed upon with disfavor by the city
treasurer-and he is the man who sub
stimulates the preliminary acts of the
ways and means committee.
