and so on up and down the line.
A Soldier is Quoted.
I asked highly educated soldier
belonging to one of the regiments
which are said to have distinguished
themselves by bad "morale'' under
fire, what was in the story He re-
piled:
1--WE are blamed for what has hap
pened in the war since wars began;
we ran, but we only did what the
best soldiers in the world have done
and would have done again under
similar circumstances.
1.-THE war broke out suddenly. AL
most suddenly we were hustled out
of Offices, from behind counters, from
desks and studies into uniforms and
rushed into trains. Our trains went
directly upon the battlefield and we
were detrained actually under heavy
fire. We did not have time to as
semblage, to get our bearings, any,
thing. We got off the train to he
shot down. Somebody ran. Some
body else followed Two more fol-
lowed the first and the others seeing
some running away, followed suit. 1t
is a psychological fact that this IS
what happens always under these
circumstances
Should Have Been Halted.
1--WE should have been halted
mile to the rear, assembled and
marched, in orderly fashion, into the
firing line. In that way we would
have had time to look around, to see
where we were, to catch courage, one
from another. Wake the boldest
man from heavy sleep, in the dead of
night, and let him have a great dan
ger to face. He will be afraid, pro-
viding he is not too stupid to have
any sensations at all. Wake him up
and give him a few minutes time to
get himself together, then let him
face the danger and he will meet it
$50 it should have been with U.S..
It was bad leadership to precipitate
men who had never been under fire,
men fresh fresh from the arms of
wife or sweetheart or mother, into
action in such sudden fashion. Men
who have once faced bullets can be
handled that way but not raw re-
cruits'
The stories that soldiers from the
south of France lack courage is no
doubt slander. General Joffre comes
from Rivesaltes, in the Pyrenees; !;
General Gallieni from Saint-Beat, al
so in these mountains; General Foch
from the village of Valentine, like
wise of the mountains between France
and Spain; while General Castelnau
calls Garidech his home, this little
town being on the plains about Tou-
louise.
These soldiers have already won
places in history by their iron cour-
age; they are the men in whose hands
the fate of France rests; they are the
conmmanders-in chief of all the
French and thus far the whole world
agrees they have accomplished Won
ders.
Yes, they are from the Midi.
The southern Frenchman does not
lack courage. Nor does he lack pa
triotism. He is different, yes, from
his northern French brother, but he
is all there just the same. He talks
differently, eats differently, thinks
differently, dresses differently, lives
differently, so why should he not fight
differently and-in this great war
die differently?

KILLS COMPENSATION.
Senate Wranelcs Three Hours, Then
Slaughters Big Measure.

After three hours of wrangling de-
bate the state senate Wednesday aft
ernoon killed the proposed new work
mans compensation bill. There will
be no new legislation on that subject
One by one several essential sections
of the proposed measure We're elm
mated before the enacting clause fin
ally was stricken out. The bill had
been made a special order for the
afternoon.
Objection to the new bill was based
on a provision diSbarring from the
benefits of compensation any widow
who had abandoned her husband for
a period of six months before his
death.
This would compel the widow to
try her divorce suit after her hus-
bands DEATH declared Senator Davis
of Bourbon, who opposed it. There
was a long fight to revise the sched-
ule of compensation for injuries and
another over a proposal by Senator l.
NJ. Mahin to increase the liability for
death to $500 instead of $4,000. The
new bill proposed to limit an attor-
ney's fees in settling a damage case
to 500.

HEALERS MUST HEAL.
Senate Raises Qualifications for Ger
tain Glass of Doctors.

BY a vote of 26 to 10, the state SEN
ate has gone on record in faNof u
the raising of the standards OF ecu
cational qualification for doctors Who
practice healing arts in the passage oI
the preliminary examination ooaro
bill. When the delayed provisions OF
the bill shall finally become enectlNe
every aspirant to service in the neal
ing profession will be required TO Sno"
evidence of having completed studles
in high schools and reputable colleges
of general education in addition TO ms
training for the profession he WISHES
to pursue.
The main object of the present Dill,
which is the result of a movement
started by the Kansas Medical society,
at whose request a special commission
was named last summer py gov
George H. Hodges to draft a new law,
is to require every healer to demon
strate his ability to diagnose disease
before he be admitted to practlce
Whatever the method of healing to be
subsequently applied, the intent OF the
senate bill is to require that the prac-
titioner be trained to detect disease.
The heavy requirement for general
cultural training is intended TO par
out the meretricious quack and the
enforcement of the more exactInS eou-
cational requirements is postponed III
order not to inf1ict a hardship upon
persons already embarked on a course
of training who cannot show the nlSh
school and college study finally TO De
demanded.
BY an amendment inserted last
night, the provisions of the Dill are
withheld from chiropractics and mag
netic healers who already have been
engaged in their practice in Kansas
for year. The bill would not inter
fere with the practice of Christian
Science healing nor of osteopathy nor
optometry, although osteopaths Will
later be required to fulfill all the edu-
cationaI requirements set for doctors
of medicine.

FOR VOTING MACHINES
Senate Gives Tax Payers Right to Buy
Mechanical Voters.

Further relief for the voters in
crowded election precincts is held out
in the Troutman voting machine bill
which has passed the senate practi-
cally without opposition. Taken in
connection with the double election
board bill which has already passed
that body, there is hope in sight for
time when the election of state and
county officers can be conducted
without the collapse of exhausted
election clerks and the vote counted
without the wait of from two to three
days now required in the more popu-
lous precincts.
The Troutman bill surrounds the
purchase of voting machines with nu-
merous restrictions, making a demand
of majority of the electors in coun-
ty, city or township necessary before
contract for their purchase may be
entered into. An election for such
purpose can be held only upon petit
ton of 25 per cent of the voters in the
county or other municipal division
where the installation of machines is
proposed. Machines may be pur-
chased either by. direct appropriation
or by bond issues. The bill has been
sent to the house of representatives

Do You Know Your Age and Birthday

How old are YOU? When were you
born: See if you really know. See ii
your children know lf6w old they are.
Do -1rUt laugh az these simple ques.
items until you try the test. Assume
that you were born on March 10th, and
that you are IS years old. IA what year
were you born?
According 20 a recent issue CT the
Public Health Reports, it is q common
occurrence to find school children, even
high school pupils in the junior and
senior years who cannot tell now how
old they are, or who, if they know
their age, cannot tell accurately in
what year they were born.
You will need this information when
YOU apply for a marriage license, or in
registering for voting; or in seeking q
government position; or in case you
claim that you are heir to q fortune
| that is going 70 some other person. You
may have tc go under oath as to youl
| age when YOU pay your customs duties
upon return from your next European
trip, SO you should practice up.
In some of cur states there is nc
tbrth registration, so you may not bt
t&tfE-to prove from the records that
YOU ever were born. This might bt
embarrassing to YOU if you want It

Perhaps the easiest way to remembe
your Sage is to form some jingle o
rhyme or your birth year. Fer in
stance: - In 1897 little Johnnie cam
from Heaven. or I'm 1882 Littl
Susie began to boo. Never min'
what the rhyme is, just so you remem
Der it and if, after reaching the age o
40, YOU want to prove that you are onl
