these beneath the foundation stone.
The victim dies within a year, but
the building Is safe.
Even a shadow will do. Mr.. Law
son was himself dragged back by a
friend in S%antorini so that. his shadow
might not fall across such a fatal
spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told
him that his four predecessors had
all died from letting their shadows

Goanel of Courana-


Ralph Waldo Urine stated his belief
thus in Harper's Bazaar:
ITO get up each morning deter
mined to be happy, determined to be
master Of the events Of the day in
stead Of being mastered by them; to
take anew this attitude of mind when
the doleful thought presents itself or
the bogy-man attempts to show his
face; to look always on the bright
side OF things, determined to stand al
ways In the sunshine rather than In
the shadow-this it is that makes
life with its daily round and its
knotty problems continually easier.
This hopeful, optimistic, courage-al
ways-up attitude of mind and heart
is to set into operation subtle, silent
forces that are continually working
along the lines we are going and that
opens the way for us to arrive"

appointments include DR.. F. P. Hat
field, Olathe. member medical examina-
ton and registration board; w. L.
O'Brien. Topeka commissioner labor
and industry; Samuel S. Graybill,
Hutchinson, live stock sanitary COM
missioner.
These appointments We're hardly eX-
pected until early next week. Late last
night, however, Governor Hodges de-
cided to make his announcements at
once. Consequently his first official
act today was to send the names of
the three new appointees to the legis-
lature; where they were confirmed
without ceremony.
DR. Hatfield is a resident of Olathe.
Governor Hodges home town, and is a
Democrat of considerable prominence
in Second district political affairs. And
he is also a physician widely known
among members of his profession in
the state. DIR. Hatfield is appointed
for the term expiring May 1, 1916, and
TO fill a vacancy caused by the reSigna-
tion of DR.. c. ]. Simmonds.
O'Brien, who draws the appointfn ent
as commissioner of labor and indus
try, is closely identified with the labor
interests of the state and his selection
will probably prove one of the logical
and most satisfactory appointments of
the present administration. The APP
pointment of O'Brien is effective at
once. All that is necessary for O'Brien
to do is to take the oath of office and
start work on his new job. His ap-
pointment is for two years. Samuel s.
Graybin receives the appointment of
live stock sanitary commissioner to
succeed Joe Mercer. Out in the Sew
enth district, Graybill is a power. He
acted as chairman of the Seventh dis
trict congressional committee and in
the recent campaign did some effective
work. He is a practical farmer and
stock raiser and Governor Hodges be-
lieVes fully qualified for the place.

OIL INSPECTION BILL.

Under a special order, the Miller bill
calling for the adjustment of the of
fees of 125 deputy oil inspectors is I'M
der consideration this afternoon in the
house. The bill, which was introduced
in the house a week ago by Miller,
of Ottawa county, provides that all of
the 125 deputy oil inspectors shall be
dispensed with and that six men shall
handle the work of the department.
AS provided in the bill. these six men
would be stationed at the several re-
fineries in Kansas and would make
their inspections before the oil leaves
the refineries. Not more than two
men would be required to inspect the
shipments from refineries not located
in Kansas. This plan, it is claimed,
will result in a saving of $4,000 year
in the fees of the office and The money
each year be paid into the state treas
ury instead of to the small army of
deputy inspectors
The passage of the Miller bill is
strongly urged by Governor Hodges
and Frank Comiskey, the new state
oil inspector, appointed to succeed Joe
Longshore April l. Changes in inspec-
ton rates are also provided in the bill
and the passage of the measure in its
original form will, it is contendesi, save
not less than $4,000 annually.
