Supt. Wilson Considers Them
Education Asset.

They Are Aid in Fascinating
Folk Games.

The moving picture and the talking
machine are destined to play an I'M
portant part in the education of the
young people OF Topeka. At least that
is the general belief among educators
in the city. AS matter OF fact the
talking machine has already been in
troduced in several of the city schools.
and the new superintendent of schools,
H. B. Wilson, says that one of the
greatest educational assets which he
left behind when he came to Topeka
from Decatur, I'LL. was moving pic
ture machine.
The talking machines have been pur-
chased by money raised through the
teachers and the children of the re-
spective schools. and it may be that
cured 1t will be through private enter
prise and not an appropriation by the
board of education.
In speaking of the talking machine
in the schools Superintendent Wilson
said: THE possibilities are great ia

Where the machines have been in

tive schools. in the folk games that are
taught the youngsters, and they have
been used for marching. However
there are still educational possibilities
in the machines that have not as yet
been touched. Hundreds of records
have been put out that would be OF
value to the school teachers.
Through the aid Of the moving pic
ture it is possible to give pupils an

story of the tower of Babel. Accord
ing to this legend the god of the
Amalosa was supposed to have COM
manded his people to eat the flesh of
young cattle only. The injunction was
obeyed and consequently as the old
cattle died and the young animals had
all been killed the herd boys were left
without a job.
There was great distress among the
people. They prayed to their god to
send more cattle, but days and years
passed and still they had no cattle. So
grievously did they lament over this
fact that they all became crazy. Their
madness took the form of attempting
to build a tower to the moon with the

A TOpekan Tells Of the Ruins
in RhOdesia.
SUNDAY.

A veil Of mystery hangs over the
ancient ruins and gold workings OF
Rhodesia. South-Central Africa. 1t has
been conjectured by many who have
explored the towns Of a former civiliza-
ton and the mines of the territory that
this Is the Land Of Ophir and the home
Of the Queen of Sheba. In fact, H.
Rider Haggard. the novelist. received
his inspiration for his well known book,
king Solomons Mines" from the
fascinating ruins in question.
The ancient cities, which are scat
tered here and there over the country,
consist largely of circular walled en-
closures carefully constructed with
dressed stone laid without the use of
cement. The center of the ancient CIV
ilization was eveidently at the Great
Zimbabwe ruins near Victoria. The
ruins are extensive and in a remark
ably good state of preservation. The
outer wall of one of the sections at
Zimbabwe is approximately fifty feet
In height and so broad that team Of
horses could stand on it.
Who Were the Builders?
1t has been suggested that the pres
ent natives of Rhodesia are descendants
Of the builders of Zimbabwe. One ar
gument advanced in support of this
theory is that the herring-bone pattern
of ornamentation used in the construc-
ton Of the walls and fortresses is iden-
used by the natives Of today in decor
ating their utensils and implements.
However, the quality of the workman
ship would indicate civilization
of no mean degree. Some archaeolo-
gists are Of the opinion that the an
cients were driven away by a strong
enemy or were exterminated by dis
ease as their implements were found in
the ruins just as they had left them.
There exists in Rhodesia just the
remnants of tribe of natives-the
Amalosa. They possess a greater de-
gree of intelligence than the other
tribes of the country, but were a slave
race when the whites settled the ter
ritory less than % years ago. 1t has
been claimed that they are directly
descended from the ancients who had
a craze for gold. They are lighter in
color and have features more cleal
cut than either the Mashonas or Mata-
beles Of Rhodesia.

At Decatur. according to Superin-
tendent Wilson, a moving picture ma.
chine was purchased for the schools
through private enterprise. Once every
two weeks continuous all day show
was given in the assembly room OF the
high school building which seats 40
persons. Things were so arranged that
in the course Of the day every school
child in the city saw the show. On
one occasion there was q fllm showing
the work ON the Panama canal, another
was a swat the n.y. flm. and the
third had to do with Fairgrounds. Now
and then a good clean comedy picture
was thrown in, and Superintendent
Wilson believes that good comedy
should have a place in education.
There is almost no end to the edu-
cational films that are being put out

It is charged that opponents of the

roll call during the present extra ses-
sion of the legislature which officially
ends Saturday. Pay for members Of
the legislature ceases after that day.
In message to the house present.
ed last Monday, Gov. Ben w. Hooper
urged the passage of the measure and
made the following charge against its
opponents:
Beyond all question there is a des-
perate conspiracy on foot among the
liquor interests and their subservient
political tools to throttle the majority
and defeat the will Of the people by
force and fraud"
Later in the day armed officers rep
resenting both sides collected in the
corridor but made no demonstration.
Within the hall the first excitement
was furnished by a threatened clash
between Representatives Smith and
Betachs. Bejachs offered a resolution
providing that Johnny Yeatman, a
deputy fire marshal, be brought TO the
bar for alleged contempt during yes

there are three separate and distinct
sections given over to him, thus bring
ing the city a revenue from three sep
arate classes of dealers-Which goes
to show that there are more ways
than one of holding this luscious pro-
duet up to the public.
Sections 223, 224 and 225 are devot-
ed exclusively TO the oyster. The
first-named provides tax of SIS per
year on retail dealers; the next i'm
poses tax of $40 per year on exclu-
srvely wholesale stands, while the
third provides an annual tax of $3.50
on oyster stands exclusive of restau-
rant
In no case of any other edible taxed
are there three separate sections de-
voted in the new ordinance. and the
various branches of the insurance
companies are the only other subject
treated to more sections than the
oyster as city revenue getter.

NO FINAL AGREEMENT
BEFORE SATURDAY

Washington, Sept. 25.-speaker Clark
told the house today there was little
prospect Of an agreemnt between the
tariff conferees before Saturday The
speaker was besieged with inquiries
from members who wished 10 leave
the city and got his information from
the conferees.
The conferees today agreed on So
600 as the amount of income Of a sin
gle man that shall be free from the
income tax. For a married man the
exemption will be $4,000 with no fur
ther exemption for children. Only one
exemption of $4,000 will be allowed for
z family. even though the husband and
wife have separate incomes.
The conferees decided to put bur
laps on the free list; to leave grain
bags on the dutiable list and to reduce
the house rate of 20 per cent on plain
jute fabrics, bleached, to 10 per cent.
The conference report will be made
to the house Saturday, it is expected,
and to the senate Monday. Few points
remain to be settled.

Much dissatisfaction exists among

duce not OF their own raising, but
which are purchased from the real
producer. 1t being represented that an
agreement exists whereby the producer
meets these peddIers at a point near
The city limits and there disposes of
his entire products. The peddlers in
turn drive oyer the city and dispose

eddy small margin. but which one of
them said yesterday was at a profit
safficieT1t to exc out scant living
for himself and family This class of
dealer under section 232 of the license
ordinance which becomes effective Oc-
fober /, is taxed 500 per year, and
those who are in this line of business
readily state that they cannot stand
any such tax; that they do not be-
lieve that such a tax is legal, and
that they are going to let the courts
decide whether or not it is not dis
crilninatory and thereby nullif1ed by
ssicIl a condition. At any rate, most
os them are not going to call at resi-
dences many more days next week,
ard they state unequiVocally InaI they
are likely to win out.

tax is as follows: "Peddlers not other

Possibilities for the day rumored was
a probable clash between the city au-
thorities and those of the state over
the question of keeping order at the
capitol. It seemed almost certain that
if the city police force attempted to
exercise what fusion leaders consid-
cred undue authority, that the gov
ernor would be urged by the latter to
call out the state guard.
It was given out as the fusion plan
to offer no resistance to Speaker Stan
toms resuming his seat today and no
effort to unseat him would be made
unless his rulings were considered ar
bitrary.
The fusionists claim so Of the 80
members with them.
