There was a report yesterday that
the headquarters of the American
Automobile association are to be
transferred from New York to Wash
ington, d. G. The first break from
the New York headquarters Will come
about the middle OF the week, when
A. G. Batchelder, chairman of the
A. A. A. executive committee. goes to
Washington for the purpose of open
ing headquarters for the federal aid
to good roads movement. From that
time on Chairman Batchelder will
divide his time between Washington
and New York.
Once the Washington Office of the
federal aid to good roads movement is
firmly established the rest of the head
quarters machinery, 1t is said, Will be
taken South TO the capital, The prin-
cipal object In going TO Washington
is to be close to congress in the mat
ter Of the federal aid to roads pro-
position.
The necessity of having headquar-
ters more central to the entire coun-
try than New York is said TO be
another reason for the change. The
recent trouble in the West which
eliminated in the revolt of several
Los Angeles autoists, promoters and
racing men has awakened the men
in the a A. A. to the danger of "a
break.
one of the objections Of these West
erners was with regard TO headquar-
ters In New York, which was prac-
ticaliy in another country for them
and which they said prevented the
officials or the A. A. A, approaching
their needs. How Washington Will
better this condition doesn't appear.
The a. A A headquarters have
been in New York ever since the
organization Of the association, more
than ten years ago, and the present
Offices are at 437 Fifth avenue.

PLAN CAMPAIGN ON CANCER.
Legislature May Get Appeal to Stop
Disease, More Common Than
tuberculosis.

The next legislature will be asked
to make an appropriation for the study
OF the prevention of cancer by the
state board OF health. and for all in
fictitious diseases.
In one area in the state, mile and
one-half square, there are twelve farm
houses and in eleven of them there are
cass Of cancer 1t is for the study OF
situations like this the legislature will
be asked to employ persons to study
the cases on the ground and make
laboratory Investigations.
Good work has been done by the
board Of health on the study of pre-
vention of tuberculosis. A similar in
vestigation Is to be made Of cancer
and typhoid fever. The legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for the last bien-
mum for the study of the prevention
of tuberculosis by the state board
of health, and there are about 800
fewer deaths from tuberculosis in Kan
sas this year than several years ago.
The records show there is more can
Ger in Kansas than tuberculosis. The
board of health is not asking for an
increased appropriation, but for an
other $4,000 for the next biennium for
the study of cancer, typhoid fever and
other diseases along with tuberculosis.

KANSAS TOPICS
BANK COMMISSIONER OPTIMISTIC
Says Kansas Looks Fordward to 1918
For Another Year of Prosperity.

Topeka, Kan.-"The people Of Kan
sas were never more prosperous and
content than at the present time and
we in Kansas look forward to 1913
with much hope"
That is the way State Bank Com
missioner ]. N. Dolley summed up the
year of 1912 and the outlook for 1913.
THE banking, agricultural and CON-
mercial conditions in Kansas for the
year Of 1912 were very satisfactory
Mr.. Dolly said. THE deposits Of
the state banks increased more than
five millions of dollars during the
year. Reserves are strong. Bank earn
ings are in advance OF any year with
in our history. A strong demand for
money was maintained for legitimate
purposes during the entire twelve
months.
During the year 1912, Kansas made
new farm-product record. The value
of our livestock and farm products
for the year is practically six hundred
millions of dollars, surprising all her
previous agricultural records and es-
tablishing a new standard, exceeding
the past agricultural records by about
forty million dollars. The corn crop
brought the greatest returns, with
wheat a close second. The winter
wheat crop of 1928 is very promis-
ing at this time and has gone into the
winter in good shape.
THE railroads are taxed to their
fullest capacity to move the enormous
crops, in fact they are far behind with
their work. The elevators are bullying
with grain ready for the market. The
retail business for the year was strong
and up to the average. The holiday
trade was exceptionally heavy, the
heaviest in the history of our cities"

sense" declared Frank w. Blackmar,
professor of sociology at the state uni
versity, before the state board OF
agriculture. 1--WE have gone too far
from the simple life ever to return to
1t. If the average city man went back
to the farm he would be failure. and
only still further decrease the yield
per acre"
The speaker was discussing Some
Factors In the High Cost of Living"
I'VE must admit" he said, that the
big factor in holding down the living
cost is the production of more and bet
ter crops on the farm; scientific, in.
tensive farming has become a neces-
sity and the need of it, and the need
for education along that line cannot
be to strongly emphasized"
"a cold storage plant should be
established in every city and town in
Kansas" he said, "If it can be built
in no other way, the municipality
should establish and maintain it.
"a municipal market house ought to
be also one of the assets of every
city. Then whenever the price of
produce went too high, by reason of
a monopoly. the city could go into
business along that line and break
the market, as was done recently in
the egg market in several Eastern
cities. These two measures would
help in holding down the increasing
cost of living"

FOR A BUG KILLING WEEK.
Governor Stubs Requested to Issue a
Prociamatlon-$10, 100000 Damage
Estimated Last Year.

If Governor Stubs will issue the
necessary proclamation, Kansas will
have a "bug-killing week. sometime
next month. Chinch bugs caused ten
million dollars worth of damage 10
crops in Kansas last year. That's the
estimate of bug experts at the Kansas
agricultural college, To avoid a repe-
tition of this loss in 1913 the agricul-
tural college has asked Governor
Stubs to issue a proclamation urg-
ing farmers to set aside week next
month to burn all dead grass and
weeds-the winter hiding places Of
chinch bugs. Here is the letter sent
to the governor by j. w. McCulloch, an
assistant in charge of chinch bug ex-
termination at the college:
Governor w. r. Stubs, Topeka: I
enclose a copy of proclamation is
sued by Governor Cruce, of Oklahoma,
setting aside week for the destruc-
ton of chinch bugs in that state.
Last summer chinch bugs injured
Kansas crops to the amount of ten
million dollars, and under favorable
conditions will do even more damage
during the next year. Considering
this fact | would like to suggest that
you issue such a proclamation in Kan
sas. Many farmers already are burn
ing their grass, but the work is not
general, and lacks cooperation. Fall
and winter burning has been thorough
ly tested by the Kansas agricultural
college, and it has been found that, on
an average, 9S per cent of all bugs
are destroyed and the crops are unln-
jured the following year. The only
requisite to make burning successful
is thorugh and cooperative work, and
it is for this reason that | make this
suggestion.
-. w. McCULLOCH."
That chinch bugs could be combat
ted successfully by burning them in
their winter quarters was first discov-
cred by the Kansas agricultural col
lege. Since this was learned two years
ago, other states have taken up this
method of eradication and used it with
success. 1t is the only satisfactory
way to fight this pest.

Travis May Be Dyche's Successor.

1t was Del Travis who was nosed

warden when Governor Stubs ap
pointed Prof. l.. l.. Dyche to that
place. And now it is rumored there is
chance that George II. Hodges will
name Travis to succeed Dyche as fish

of fish and game warden is in the
