State Labor Department VIII
Send Out Inspectors.
DESERVING THEIR PEACE PACT?
Companies Had Promised to
Trade "WOrse for Bad"
State Will Begin Its PrOsecu-
tiOns if Law Is Violated.

There is trouble in store for the
Kansas corporations which have failed
to adopt the provisions of the new
semi monthly pay day, effective in
Kansas July 1, this year. Complaints
have come to the state labor depart
ment from number of employees
who assert that their employers have
failed to conform with provisions of
the new law.
A special investigator may be sent
from the labor department in a few
Gays to check up the workings of the
now pay day act Whether the law
has not been observed, notice will be
served on the officers of the corpora
ton and unless immediate action ia
taken. the state will then begin prose
cution under the provisions of the law
1t Was a Peace Pact.
All of the larger corporations in the
state, including the railroads, have
adopted the semi-monthly pay day
plan.
A change from the monthly to the
semi-monthly pay plan means several
thousand dollars year in the opera:-
ing expenses of the larger corpora
tiCnS. But in the main, the law was
observed without protest or objection.
In fact the passage of the act was
generally accepted as peace agree
ment between the railroads and the
1915 legislative members. Employees
wanted something. The legislature re-
fused to grant either the full crew bill
OF other drastic legislation. So after
a lengthy deadlock over public Serv-
lice corporation legislation, an agrees
ment was reached which resulted in
the passage of the semi-monthly pay
day.
"A number of corporations. how
ever, have failed to observe the pro-
visions of the new law" said Paul
Mcbride, state labor commissioner.
1--WE propose to check up these con-
Germs and unless immediate steps are
taken toward observance of the law,
the state will begin prosecutions

SELLING IT'S TREES
Kansas Walnut Crop for European
Gun Stocks.

In addition to reaping a harvest
from the European war through the
sale of it's grain and it's live stock,
Kansas, especially northeastern Kan
sas, has derived an enormous profit
from the sale of its walnut lumber
crop, to be used to make gun stocks,
to agents of factories having European
contracts for the manufacture of small
arms.
1t has been estimated that about a
score of buyers have been in the state,
several of them making more than one
trip Ordinarily the crop is sold to
be manufactured into furniture and
other articles for the home. This year,
however, the armament agents have
outbid the furniture men.

SAVE STATE FUND
DIR. Crumbine Creates Economy
Bringing 100000 Annually.
Diphtheritic Anti-Texin Sta
tiOns Throughout Kansas.

AS a result of the recent signing Of
a contract with an eastern wholesale
drug house and the establishment of
diphtheritic anti-toxin stations in vari-
Gus parts of the state, DR.. S. J. Crum-
Zine, secretary of the state board of
health, today asserted that his de-
partment il this way would save the
people of Kansas 100000 annually
The contract provides that the
serum may be purchased by the state
board of health at one-third the for
mer price. AS a result the department
has established a distributing station
in every town in Kansas of more than
five hundred inhabitants where the
anti-toxin is given the INDECENT poor
and is sold to other persons at the cost
price. This, alone, DR.. Crumbine
points out, with diphtEeria in almost
epidemic stages in several parts of the
state, means an enormous saving.
For years the state board of health
has beer distributing vaccine for
smallpox and anti-toXin for tetanuS to
the poor persons of the state at actual
cost. Now diphtheria anti-toxln and
typhobacterins have been added to
The list of serumS handled in that way.

REGISTRY FOR ALL VESSELS
Civilian Boats and Private
Radio as Aids.
Vast Intelligence Agency in
Touch With Fighters.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Orga nization
of the naval districts of the United
States and the insular possessions to
aid the bureau of naval intelligence
in gathering information that will be
of use to the department in war or
peace times, is included in plans upon
which officers of the navy depart
ment are at work. There are thirteen
of these districts, in addition to those
at Honolulu, Manila and Panama,
each under the supervision of the
commandant of a navy yard in the
region.
ization active in registering all Amer
lean merchant vessels that might be
of use in war times, including power
boats and motor launches, to organ
ize by these districts the various radio
stations public and private, as long
distance eaveSdropperS to listen in on
any wireless conversation at sea off
the coats, and also to make the pro-
posed navy training camps correspond
to the district organization
Plan Up to Congress.
A proposal will be presented to con-
gress this winter that all pleasure
boats be required to carry registry by
number IN order that close track may
be kept on them.
1t has been reported that Great
Britain has two thousand armed
trawlers and motor launches now pa
trolling her coasts, manned largely
by civilian crews. Additional
thousand power boats for this work,
it is said, will be completed soon.
Navy officers believe a similar or
ganiz4tion could be formed among
American power boat owners. The
boats would have considerable value
as aid to the great fleet of coast de-
fense submarines it is proposed to
build up within five years. The
underwater fighters would be dis
tributed along the coasts at submarine
bases and at the various harbOrs. Six
bases including that at New London.
Conn, are contemplated.
Every Foot PatrOlIed.
With nearly $50 submarines in
commission, an enemy fleet would
have a difficult time reaching the
coasts. The first scouting line to To-
cate such a fleet would be the de-
stroyers and scout ships of the navy
working far at sea. Behind these
would be the navy reserve craft and
a swarm of swift power boats patrol
ling every foot of sea off the coasts.
From these later would come word
to the submarine bases in case the
enemy slipped through the first line,
and submarines would rush to the
threatened spot, formidable OBJ
stacle for the enemy ships to meet
With such a system in working or
der, not a ship could move within a
hundred miles of either coast but that
its course would be reported and the
news flashed along the line to the
waiting submarines

Supreme Court Takes No Ac-

State Accountants Charges

HE IS Reelected AS CLERK
Clay Center Man Chosen for
Another 2-Year Term.
sFee Action Not Essential"
Says Justice Johnston.

Dell Valentine of Clay Center has
been reelected by the supreme court
for another two year term as clerk of
the court. The action was taken this
week, it was stated by court Justices.
Under the law, the court clerk is
elected by the supreme court justices.
His SALARY is $4,000 a year.
In the election by the court, none of
the charges against Valentine by Jas
per T. kincaid, former state account
ant, were investigated. Judge w. A.
Johnston, chief justice of the supreme
&C Urt. stated that Valentine was not
called before the court concerning the
distribution and use of fees in his pos
session and that no action was re-
garded as necessary.
Accountants Probe.
More than a year ago, a special re-
port concerning the fees in the hands
Of the supreme court clerk was flied
with the governor, following an inves-
tigation by the state accountant.
In the report it was stated that more
than $4,000 was in Valentines pos
session and deposited in banks in
which he was an officer or stockhOlder.
A large amount of this money, it was
asserted belonged to 1itigants and
Kansas sheriffs and had never been
distributed. The accountant was also
unable to procure the Cancelled checks
showing the complete history of the
clerks account.
At the time the accountants report
was filed, Valentine was not in To-
peka Court justices, including Juc-
tice Johnston, stated the report would
be taken up when Valentine returned

1.-The relation of the universities and
colleges to military preparedness is a
question that is being given consider
able attention now" he said, but the
present opinion may seem of greater
consequence than it will prove to be
in the future. In times of great
stress we sometimes give plans of this
kind more emphasis than they are en-
titled to.
with the proper legal backing
from the government, however, I be-
neve the colleges could be a great
factor in training officers. If we are
to have a million and 200 thousand
reserves we will need many officers.
1t takes a long time to make an Of
ficer. If the government wants to do
it through the colleges it can put
of men to become officers for the
reserve forces and be of great value
for preparedness for a life of peace.
The increased moral and physical eff
would be of great benefit to the
country.
Change Elective Plan.
''I think that it is time that we
change the elective principal in uni
versities. We have gone too far in
emphasizing the elective plan. Many
men suffer all their lives because they
did not acquire regular habits when
they were young l think this phase
of training might well come into the

we have today is that schools do not
give a rigid moral training for the
students. 1 think the colleges should
emphasize to the students their duty
to the community 1t is always said
that the state owes this and that in
the way of education to its young men
and women. The time is coming when
the students will realize that they owe
as much to the state as the state owes

Nish to the Servian legation here
today.
Bulgarian troops have driven
rn opposing force across the Var

The Berlin announcement may
mean a defeat for the entente

have advanced into Serbia at
this point on their way to the
