Mrs. Speer said that this move
ment is spreading to the care OF the
grown-ups also, as evidenced in the
acts Of keen and thrifty employers,
who have opened their roofs to the
girls working for them, that they
may there spend their luncheon
hour, eating, resting, dancing or do
ing whatever they choose. This
bit of relaxation. which the girls
cannot obtain in a lunchroom or or
the crowded streets, smbues them
with new vigor for labor during
the remainder OF the day and eco
nomically makes them a bit more ef-
fcient,' explained Mrs. Speer.

City Board of Auto Examiners
Adopts Novel Plan.
One Hundred Persons Appoint
ed as Secret Spies.
10 REPORT BY POSTAL, CARDS
When Driver Is Seen Violating
Law, He Is Reported.
Trap. Ross and Stansfield. Try
Out New Scheme.

AS result of numerous complaints
Of Jay driving and accidents in the
city, the board of automobile exam
liners of Topeka will mail letter to
auto owners in the city asking them
to help stamp out the practice. Fol-
lowing is the letter, in part:
ITO drivers and automobile and
motorcycle riders of Topeka:
"A great deal of complaint is made
to the police and in public prints about
citys streets. 1t is of little value to
point out that there is as much. If not
more LAY" walking than there is
'.jay" driving. Necessarily the man in
or on the machine is much more con-
spicuous than the man on foot. The
fellow on foot being in the majority,
has the power to make 1t very warm
for the fellow in the machine as to
legal restrictions.
You will doubtless remember that
at Eighth and Kansas avenue man
was killed, at Twelfth and Polk two
little girls were MANNED and there are
numerous other instances where per-
sons have been injured by machines. 1t
is true that in these cases the autoist
was blameless, but the tendency is to
make the driver the victim. Why is
it not a good idea to be on the safe
side and by obeying the laws as they
stand put yourself in a position of be-
ing absolutely in the right.
1.-The board has appointed one hum
dred persons who are known only to
one member hereof, and each of these
persons is provided with a series of
numbered and stamped cards, printed
in form so that they require no sig
nature. And the hundred are street
car men, pedestrians and autOists. 1t
is only necessary when one sees an in
fraction of the laws to drop card in
the nearest mail box and the board is
notified.
ION the report of an infraction the
card will go to the chief of police, who
is a member of the board and the mo-
torist will be notified. If the second
complaint is made the motorist will be
called before the board. Repeated in
fractions will be dealt with summarily
and the board will try to make ex-
amples of those persons who persist
in violating the laws.
MAY We have your hearty co-opera-
ton in showing Topeka and the coun-
try that Topeka motorists are not
road hogs and several other epithets
that are sometimes unjustly thrown at
them.

Berlin, Nov. 24.-(By wireless to
Sayville)-The following information
was given out today by the official
press bureau:
while an eventual victory for the
Teutonlc allies in the eastern theater
OF war is expected as confidently as
ever, official reports from the Ger
man and Austrian military headquar-
tiers make it appear that a decision
Will not be reached as soon as had been
expected. The final result has been
delayed by the advance of new Rus

The Austrians announce that thew

are investing Przemysl, have been
driven back by a sortie, and are not
within range of the cannon of the
forts.
The Russians, who crossed the
lower Dunajec, are not able to pro-
coed further.
The tremendous extent of the bat

POURS out MONEY.
British Public Subscribes q Loan o.
$1,75O, OOO. 900.

London, Nov. 24.-Lists Of subscrip-
ton to the greatest war loan in his
tory amounting to 100000 pounds
sterling $1,75O.0OO.0 = or rather
more than half the total OF the Brit
ish national debt, were closed this aft
ernoon and the loan, it is stated in the
city, will be a great SUCCESS, although
no official figures as yet are available.
Coming at a time when the London
stock exchange is closed and imme-
diately after $3OO.OO0,0O OF fresh tax
alton had been imposed, the result is
considered remarkably indicative of
the determination of the country to
enable the government to prosecute
the war to a successful end. The sub
scriptions poured l. from the prov
inces and from insurance houses and
banks, colonial as well as from the
United Kingdom.
The offerings ranged from a modest
IS pounds to the biggest insurance
company subscription of 100000
pounds. The enormous number Of
applications created considerable
pressure at the Bank Oh England and
some days must elapse before it Is
possible to announce the allotments.
The cash payment OF pounds per
hundred required with the applica-
lions will temporarily take on the
market some millions OF pounds
sterling.
