Board to bring about prohibition, but
to promote temperance. This work is
supplemented by the Home Counties
Public House Trust, which lately took
over the control of a we'll known sa-
loon in a central district and plans to
extend it's influence. The place was
remodeled so as to get away from the
old idea of the drinking palace and to
introduce the cafe system with tables,
reading matter and friendly games.
Alcoholic drinks are sold, but the man
agement receives bonus on all tenn
Eerance drinks.
Saloon men in fact are just now be-
ginning to realize that the profits on
temperance drinks exceed those on
liquors. There is twice the profit in a
cup of tea that there is in a glass OF
ale. But heretofore the owners asso-
ciated the sale of soft drinks with tee
tctalism and opposed their introduce
ton.

perance drinks between the prohibited
hours was slight. In few quarters,
where men are employed on all-night
work, certain houses have been al
lowed to open for limited time in the
early morning.
Among the curious results of regula-
ton, the person who fails to lay in his
private stock of whiskey or other spir-
its before 2:50 o'clock Friday after
noon, will have to spend dry week
end, as he must wait until Monday
noon. Even in the private rooms of a
hatel, one who treats member of his
own family to drink is liable to a
heavy fine. The hours during which
alcohol may be consumed in clubs is
the same as in the case of public bars.
Restaurants are not allowed to extend
credit for meals at which intoxicating
drinks are sold, as the credit system is
done away with entirely. The extreme
penalty for breach G Nese regula-
tons Is six months at labor and
a $500 fine
One of the most effective measures
to promote temperance is the abolish
ment of credit at the bars. This
struck severely the business of bars
giving credit to workmen. In the old
days, men used to gather in the bar
and drink on credit with the result
they had little or nothing left out of
tileir wages when paid.

BULGARIANS TAKE
Charge OF PROPERTY
SERBIAN SILVER TO BE TAKEN
FOR s. PER CENT OF VALUE.

PARIS, Dec. pa Saioniki dis
Patch to the Temps reads:
Sofia newspapers announce that
Bulgaria has decided, pending a re-
turn to normal conditions, that all
property belonging to the state church
ard schools in occupied Serbian reg
ions shall be assessed by the Bulgar-
ian government. At the same time
the minister of public property will by
circular indicate to the presidents OF
municipalities and the projects and
administrators of the former kingdom
of Serbia" the manner of handling
public property and property with
cut owner
According to information given by
the official Bulgarian finance depart
ment, Bulgarians will accept Serbian
silver money at 60 per cent. and nick
ell at so per cent. The Austrians are
giving only so confines for dinar
lin normal times a dinar is equal to
france.
Bulgarian financiers fear that Bull
garia will be flooded with Serbian sill,
yer. The finance minister has decid-
ed not to accept Serbian paper money
because, it is declared, the Serbian
national bank quit the country with a
stock of 100000 dinars, leaving
$50 100000 of dinars in paper money
among the population. The Bulgarian
government has applied to Austria
and Germany with view to settle
ment of the Serbian monetary ques-
ton, but the exchange of views thus
far has been without result. The Of

NEWS Of VOLCANIC
OUTbURSTS ON ISLE.
Of AMBR|M HERE.

SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 29.-De-
layed reports have brought news of a
fresh volcanic outbreak on the island
of Ambrim, in the New Habrides
Group, spot which experienced a
most destructive volcanic eruption in
December, 1918.
The Rev. A. T. Waters, missionary
stationed on the island of Goa, about
GO miles from Ambrim, writes that on
the first few days of October last
smoke and volcanic ash clouded the
sky so thickly that the sun gave only
weird light like the moon, and it
eventually became so dark that the
people on Goa had to light lamps. Ev-
erything became gritty with ashes in
doors, and out-of-doors they were SO
thick that the sea could not be seen
from the Mission house, which ordin-
arily afforded a fine view of the water.
There was for time some panic
among the natives of Oba who thought
enc of the mountains on their own is
land was in eruption, but the source Of
the trouble was later traced to Ambrim
and it appeared as though the entire
island was burning. The missionary's
letter did not say that any one ventur-
ed to visit Ambrim during the eruption,
and the extent of the damage or loss of
life, if any, is unknown.
The previous eruption at Ambrim, in
December, 1913, was reported to have
cost the lives of 500 natives, and to
haev completely altered the face and
and coast line of the island Accord
ing to the natives of Oba the recent
tro&ble appeared to have been still
worse that the previous eruption.
Little is known as to the interior of
Ambrim, which has been visited but
rarely by white men. No census has
ever been taken, but among the coast
settlements there are number of mis-
sion stations, manly Roman Catholic
and Presbyterians, whose members hal
a narrow escape in the previous erup-
ton.
The New Hebrides islands have been
controlled since 1906 by a joint COM
mission of British and French officials
under the supervision of two resident
commissioners ,one appointed by each
nation.

LIQUOR LAW MAKES.
No EXCITEMENT IN.
ENGLISH VILLAGES.

LONDON, Dec 29-It was not eX-
pected that the stringent law affecting
the sale of alcoholic drinks would
cause any excitement or disorder in
the better section of London, but in
view of the, previous protest NEE hgs
at the Smithfield Market and along the
docks, the quietness with which the
first day of the enforcement passed in
Billingsgate and other rough quarters
of the East End prove rather a sur
Prise. Labor leaders had certainly
taken definant attitude toward the
Board of Control, but nothing occurred
cut of the normal.
Taking the whole of London, the re-
ception of the rules has been favorable.
When the public houses began the sale
of alcoholic drinks at the noon hour
the first day under the new REGIME
there was not observed any increase in
drinking until the period closed at
2.30. Nor was there any attempt to
crowd in an unusual number of drinks
during the two hours the bars were
open in the evening. The sale of tenn

LIGHTS TO SHINE
Juice Will Be Turned on State
House White Way.
Probably Tonight; if Not, Ger
tainIy Tomorrow Night.

State house white way lights will be
turned on tonight-probably. Should
the workmen fail to complete the
work today, Topeka and the school
teach RS may be certain that they can
find their way across the state house
grounds Thursday night without the
aid of a guard and a lantern.
After all hopes for lights during the
teachers convention, had been aban-
doned, E. A. Brown of Kansas City to-
day gave the Assurance that the state
house grounds would be lighted to-
night. In order to give this extra serv-
ice Brown paid express bills on a
large amount of material that was due
to arrive by freight. He also employed
a number of extra men and at dark to-
night, it is probable that the lights
will be turned on.
Just one obstacle confronted the
contractors today. That was their
ability to borrow from the city suffi-
cient heavy feed wire to make con-
nections at Eighth and Van Buren
peka and the teachers will get the
lights tonight explained Brown.
The work on the state house light
ing system has been in charge of Rep
resentative Charles S. Holbrook OF
Kansas City and was started two
months ago E. A. Brown & Company
held the contract for the work and
this morning Brown came to Topeka
to see that the new white way was
Il am certain we will turn on the
lights tonight said Brown. But if
not tonight, then Friday night, sure.
1t will be a great system and we are
using a number of extra men in order
to have the lights ready

FORCE IS GROWING
Tenth Floor of Santa Fe Build
ing To Be RemOdeled.
1t Will Be Headquarters of the
Engineering Department.

The tenth floor of the Jackson
street general office building of the
Santa Fe railway Will be remodeled
soon to become the headquarters of
R. A. Rutledge, chier engineer of the
Santa Fe eastern lines. The tenth
floor is is now being used as a record
and file room for the office force of
w. w. Strickland, freight auditor.
No definite announcement of this
change has been made, yet officials
have come to conclusion that it will
be made. On account of the increased
number of employees in the engineer
ing department, the present quarters
in the Ninth street building second
floor are now cramlted.
The government physical valuation
work has caused the Santa Fe to put
on about 80 more men in this depart
ment. The tenth floor will naturally
be more commOdiouS.
When this change is made and dis
position is made of the freight audit
ing records now on the skyscraper
floor of the white edifice, other Of
fices will be expanded and more ell
bow room will be allowed for other
departments now on the second floor.
