TURN DOWN woMEN's BILL
Senate Commission Kills Measure De-
signed to Create q Child Hygiene
Bureau in State.

Topeka--Tne organizations of KAN
sas women were given a shock the
other day when the senate commits
sion on temperance and hygiene kill
ed the bill to create child hygiene
bureau. The commission made an ad-
verse report on the measure by
unanimous vote. There may be a fight
on the floor of the senate to revive the
measure.
The bill appropriates 1000 a year
to the board of health with which the
board could send out pamphlets to
mothers and could send visiting nurses
into the homes to teach the mothers
how to take care of the baby and what
to feed the child. Every woman's or
ganization in Kansas was in favor of
the bill and an active lobby of women
has been here ever since the session
opened in the interest of this meas.
ure, the mothers compensation and
one or two other propositions the wo-
men were interested in.
I'VE didn't believe it was necessary
to create a new bureau just for the
purpose of sending circulars about
raising babies to the mothers of the
state said Senator Hines of Labette,
chairman of the committee.

MILL TAX FOR GOOD ROADS
Proposed Senate Measure Would Al
low the Counties to Take Separate
Action, However.

Topeka.-Senator Bowman of An
derson County recently introduced a
mill tax" bill for good roads. 1t is
an entirely different proposition for
road building from any measure here
tofore presented. 1t allows the people
of a county to vote a tax of not more
than one mill a year for good roads
work and the money can be spent
only for that purpose. New bridges
and repairs must come from a differ
ent fund. The work of road building
is placed entirely with the county
commissioners, who are to designate
the roads and pay as per cent of the
cost of building, the townships paying
the rest of the expense. The county
engineers and the state highway en-
gineer are to draft standard plans for
bridge building to be used wherever
practicable in each county. The COM
missioners of one county may join
those of an adjoining county in estab-
fishing highways through both and ar
ranging for the highway in each coun-
ty to connect with the other.

Fifteen Are Guaranteed by Govern
or Dunno Because of Foot and
Mouth Disease.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Attention was di-
rected today to the proclamation is
sued by Governor Dunno Monday night
declaring a close quarantine on fiji
teen Illinois counties and a modified
quarantine on a number of other coun-
ties because of the foot and mouth
disease. The close quarantine order
prohibited not only the shipment and
transfer of live stock, but the ship
ment of farm products within the
counties or to outside points, unless
permission is accorded for shipment

tine are: Kane, Carroll, Whiteside,
Ogle, Bureau, Du Page Lee, Will, 10
Daviess, Stephenson, DeKalb, Mercer,
La Sale, Warren and Menard All
of them are in the northern part of
the state.
Cook county, including the Union
Stock Yards, is in the modified quar-
antine area, though no known cases
of the disease exist in Cook county
within five miles Of Chicago. Several
weeks ago a herd of valuable Swiss
cattle was slaughtered on the eastern
boundary of this county because of

WANTED TO CONTINUE GAME
Secretary Lane Couldn't Understand
Defeat in Golf While He Had
Clubs to Play.

Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, was invited the other day to
go out and play golf.
81 can't play it," said Daniels; i
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change
the rules"
How do you mean?"
We'll. until they change the rules
and make it as good a game as
shiny
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin K Lane, now sec
rotary of the interior. first undertook
the mastery of golf.
Two enthusiasts over the game lent
a large set of clubs to Lane and they
played a round When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive of with each
club in his sack, one after another.
THE games all over,' they ex-
planned, gently.
Well asked Lane, picking up an
other kind of club, cant 1 play my
hand out?''-New York Sun.

A New Cun.

A bedpost has not generally been
regarded so much as an eye-opener as
an eye-shutter, but If a story that
comes from Boston is true-and what
story from Boston was ever untrue?-
our oculists should go to school to the
landmarks of Morpheus. Mr.. Frank
II. Hayes, who has been stone blind
Tor nine years, so the tale runs, struck
his head violently against the bedpost
on arising, and was astounded a few
minutes afterward to find that his
sight had been entirely restored. We
dc not know whether the virue of this
cure lay in the bedpost or in the fact
that it was Boston bedpost, but if it
was really effected in this way there
would seem to be a good deal in such
inanimate objects not heretofore
dreamed of in the philosophy of optics
One of the morals of this modern mir
acle would seem to be that knocking
is sometimes very efficacious proc
ess, and that the only way to make
some folks see things is by knocking
them into their heads.-Baltimore Sun.

father died you married daddy-and
now, when daddy dies, 1 know just
who 1 want you to marry"
Why, my little son!" exclaimed the
perplexed mother. You shouldn' t
speak like that. Daddy isn't going to
die"
Yes. mother, know, but he might
die. Then, if he ever does, mother, 1

marry me-'cause then-then, you see

rated

State and Local Systems Pro-
vided for i'm Bill Intro
duced i'm Senate.
LAND ALONE TO BEAR BURDEN
Measure Provides for Local option on
Levy in Townships and Cities
Legislature Would Assess
State Taxes.

Topeka. The first single tax
amendment to be presented to Kan
sas legislature in many years was of
fered to the senate recently by Sena-
tor Davis of Bourbon county. 1t pro-
vides for both a state single taxing
system and for local option upon the
proposition.
The amendment provides that the
legislature may exempt any or all
personal property in the state and all
improvements on lands from any or
all taxes 1t also provides for the
voters of any township or city within
the state determining for themselves
whether they will tax personal prop
erty and improvements on land or
levy all taxes against the land itself.
There are many advocates of the
single tax system, urging that all
revenues of the state should be de-
rived from the land and not from the
improvements and not from personal
property. Z 1t is urged that the pres
ent tax system puts a premium on va
cant property in that a tax is made
against the improvements.
The amendment provides that in
any township or city a petition of 20
per cent of the voters would submit
the proposition of exempting all per
sonal property and improvements on
land to a vote at the next election, if
the petition is filed ninety days ahead
of the election.

Fighting at La Bassee is
Desperate, But Both Sides
Claim Gains.
PREPARING TO RESIST RUSSIA
To Stop SIav Advance in 6ukowina
Austrians Have Turned from Car
pathians-Expedition Against
Servia Abandoned.

London, Jan. 2S.-Nothing has been
heard of the military venture which it
was reported the Germans were pre-
pairing for Emperor Williams birthday
unless their attacks on the French at
Ypres and at La Bassee were intended
as such. All the official accounts
agree these attacks were severe but
beyond this there is nothing in COM
mon between the accounts of the Al
lies and the Germans concerning the
fighting.
The French communication tonight
repeats the statement the Germans
were repulsed with heavy losses, while
the Germans say the British were un-
able to recapture their positions.
Similar contradictory statements are
made regarding the fighting which is
taking place near Crayonne and per-
haps in the Argonne and in the vicin-
ity of ST. Mihiel. In all these cases
both sides claim the battles resulted
in their favor.
There has been increasing activity
along the Eastern front The Russians
there are reported to be pushing their
offensive both in East Prussia and in
Poland to the north of the Lower Wis
tula while the Germans are said to
have been repeating their attacks in
Central Poland. In Galicia an Aus
tro-German force attempted an often
sive, which, according to the Russian
accounts, did not meet with success.
All to Face Russians Now.
London, Jan. 2S.-Secial dispatches
from Petrograd this morning deal with
the new Austro-Hungarian diversion in
the Carpathians, which is intended to
counter the Russian advance through
Bukowina.
The retirement of Count Won Berch-
told, the Austro-Hungarian minister
of foreign affairs, and the triumph of
Count TisZa, the Hungarian premier,
it is believed, led to the abandonment
of the expedition against Servia.
The German forces which were to
have been devoted to this expedition
seem to have joined the Austrians in
the new operations in the Carpathians,
for which an army numbering three
hundred thousand has been assem-
bled.
