commission will receive i'm
mediate reports of railroad
the wrecks occur in Kansas. The
commission is sending out blank
forms to all of the railroads Oper-
ating in the state to be filled IN
case of accidents. One form
shows the, kind and cause of the
accident, the trains involved, the
number of people killed and the
number injured. Thi report is

there are two forms to be mailed
In following the accident. One
shows the names of the trainmen
and passengers killed or injured
through collisions or derailments
and the other shows the deaths
and injuries in other forms of
accidents that may occur on rail-
road property. There is a fourth
form ON which the railroad must
report monthly giving a summary
Of the information outlined
above. The commission has a
purpose in asking for these re-
ports. 1t inteds to use them in

HAVE NOT FILED STATE
MENTS.

More than $1,000 delinquent
corporations in Kansas are in
danger of losing their charters
ON August 20 for failure to COM
ply with the law by filing their
annual statements with the Sec
retary of State. Of this number
3S are Barton county corpora
tiOns.
Many Of these concerns are
dead and gone aready. But there
are a few still doing business i'm
total disregard of the law which
requires them to file such reports
showing their financial condition.
This class must either fish or cut
bait and do it mighty quickly.
In order to clean up the state
records and enable the corpora
ton department to have a COM
plete list of all active corpora
tiOns, the legislature last winter
passed law to wipe out all cor
pOrationS which had been delin-
quent in filing such reports dur
ing the past three years. The
time limit is up on August 20.
Those who fail to get their re-
ports in by that time will be de-
clared dead, by action of law.
While the law doesn't require
it, Secretary of State Sessions is
taking every means he can to ad-
wise the delinquent corporations

BALANCING THE SEXES.
Singular, Isn't It, the Way Nature
Preserves the Equilibrium?

Singular, Isn't It, the Way Nature
Preserves the Equilibrium?
One Of the most subtle and interest
ing problems OF life, according to the
eminent statistician and student of
heredity. Professor r. J. Ewart, is the
numerical relationship OF sex and its
influence upon the body polite. The
woman's rights movement is in essence
4 mathematical and sta t1stical problem.
according to him. There Is not gen
erai advance OF woman. as some sociol-
ogists assert There is a sudden mani
fiesta ton OF her power, a period of su-
premacy and then a decline OF her
status
The explanation is statistical mainly.
True /: has always been something OF
= puzzle why the proportion OF each
md. apparently with little or no IN
DERIVING reason, is produced in the
right numbers. The argument that If
such were not the case the particular
species would not survive does not re-
veal to US the methods by which this
object has been achieved. That some
mechanism must exist by means OF
which within certain limits the number
OF males and females born is regulated
is proved by the facts Of history,
where we have numerous examples OF
wars and other social upheavals where
males have largely suffered. and yet
within an apparently short period of
time. as measured by such events, q
balance has again been established.
The sex equilibrium may be com
pared to that Of a gyroscope, where the
greater the disturbance of position
the greater is the force tending to re-
establish its natural stand while in
motion.-Current Literature.
