sCription, 1t is Said
MANY FRENCHMEN KILLED
Jews Were the Objects of Attack, and
Mob Murdered, Pillaged and Burned,
Destroying Three-fourths of Jewish
Section of the City.

Paris, April %. The Fez massacre, in
which large number of French officers,
soldiers and citizens were killed and
wounded, has given rise to considerable
criticism of the government authorities
for not foreseeing and preventing the
occurrence A complete investigation of
the outbreak Is being made.
Scenes of awful horror occurred in
the Jewish quarter of the city and
the mob murdered, pillaged and burned
all the Jews they could find Many
Young girls were carried off, suffering
indescribable outrage. Three.fourths of
the Jewish section was destroyed by
tire, and a thousand people were made
homeless.
1t is known that Is French officers and
40 soldiers were killed in the fighting,
while l3 civilians, all of them French cit
izens, were massacred in their homes or
in the streets Besides these four French
officers and 10 soldiers We're wounded,
and 100 Jews were slain and a large
number wounded and mutilated.
The greatest misery prevails in the
Jewish quarter Of the city Elaborate
measures have been taken by the com
mander Of the French troops TO prevent
further outbreaks,
The French government explains that
the absence of detailed news from Faz
is due to the fact that four or five tel
egraphers stationed there, as well as
those attached TO the wireless station
were massacred at their post of duty,
where they remained heroically through
out the revolt, sending official dis
patches

There are many followers of Walt

mouth and nose. The largest of these
drops can readily be seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found If a mirror or piece of glass is
held before the face when coughing
or sneezing tremendous quantity
of still smaller droplets are discharged
in the form of an invisible spray or
mist, which fonts about in the air for
some time. Scientists have found that
when a man coughs, spits or sneezes,
in a large hall or room where the air
is quiet, these tiny, invisible, germ
laden droplets will float in the air for
a distance of 20 to 100 feet. These tiny
droplets in the form of mist or spray,
may be breathed in by other people, or
they may settle ON objects with which
they come into intimate contact, such
as food and clothing. Viewed in this
light, such conduct is at least irnpolite
Furthermore, it is dangerous to the
public at large to have careless people

BOOST THE STATE FAIR.

! Now is the accepted time for To-
pekans, and the other residents OF
Shawnee county, to boost in every way
that comes to their hand the great
| state fair which is to be staged here
this fall. That it will be all that a
state fair should be. and one com
mensurate in every way with the ag-
ricultural prominence of Kansas, is a
foregone conclusion. The rehabilitated
Topeka fair of two years ago started
things going in this direction. The
fine fair of last year assured the future
success of the Topeka state fair pro-
ject. 1t now has a national reputation
among agricultural expositions.
There should be no resting on the
oars, though. Nor is there any ON the
part of Secretary Cook and the other
association. Regardless of the certain
success of the fair in the number and
high character of it's exhibits and
varied attractions. there is plenty of
room for its development in all partic
ulars.
But this development will not come
unless the fair receives the patronage
of which it is deserving. And this is
where the people of Shawnee county
can get in their fine work and boost.
Not only should they make up their
minds to be liberal with their own
patronage of the fair. They should also
make it point to interest their friends
far and near. On their travels around
the state and even beyond its confines
they should talk state fair on all
pOsSibIe occasions The stay-at-hOmeS
can use postcards and letters to tell
their friends and relatives that To-
peka is going to have a state fair this
fall that will be well worth visiting.
Nor would it be bad plan for the
Commercial club to begin the consid-
Grafton of the feasibility of making
state fair week real homecoming"
week for former Topekans who have
strayed into other pastures. This mat
ter was undertaken for the last fair
week, but not soon enough before the
fair to make it the success that is pos
sible in the premises.

EtymoIogy of s.Honeyfugle.Y

In the course of the first DAVIS
speech making in Ohio President Taft
used the queer word ''honeyfugle. as
descriptive of his former friends meth
DDS of seeking popular support. The
term has long been familiar to some
Of us, while others, more numerous
perhaps. never heard or saw it before
It's meaning is obvious enough from
context, and even from looks and
sound, but the derivation is not so easy
to figure out.
ITO honeyfugle," according to the
dictionary, is American slang for
'wheedle," or "caJole,'' but ''fuglemanr
is good old English that was made
in Germany" where it meant original
ly an expert soldier who led or direct
ed the less skillful in military exer-
cises. Later it was applied to the
leader or example-setter in anything
and especially to a person employed by
politicians or others to serve their in
terests while pretending independence
Once the 'fugle'' was "1ugeI," a wing.
Whether 'honeyfugle' is or is not
really related to "fugleman' and 'sdu-
gelmann'' can most safely be left an
open question, with the probabilities
against it. The chances are that it is
just a madeup word with no derivation
at all.-New York TimeA
