IT Gets HIS COAT
Railroad Official Is Annoyed by
the Street Whistle.
He Even Wants q Law Passed
to Suppress 1t.

"a revolution in whistling is sure to
come" said a widely known Topeka
railroad official to a visitor today.
Did you ever walk down the street
and hear someone whistle block be-
hind you?, With perhaps two dozen
other people you turn around to see
if the whistler is calling for you You
lose valuable time and patience. Per-
haps it is a little boy testing out his
lungs Perhaps man wants to call
the attention of a person two blocks
away. He Fuckers UP his lips and
forthwith wild shrek is sent in the
direction of the other man. By this
wireless method he usually is success
full. But as with the Marconi system,
the messages are picked up en- route
Everyone between the sender and the
receiver of this whistling message
turns around and then continues the
journey with sheepish grins.
the AND Tan It ought TO stop continued
legislature shouldn't waste time in
trying to put through full crew bills
or other anti-railroad laws. 1t should
devote all its time to eliminating this
whistling nuisance. 1t wears on
mans nerves. 1t skaters his vitality.
1t makes him profane. And yet this
thing has been going on for ages and
ages. Antony whistled to Cleopatra
and half a dozen Egyptian noblemen
would start with surprise thinking
that the sound was meant for them
Hector whist1ed in the Trojan war In
the stone age 1 guess that there was
the same trouble in a more crude
form Coming down toward our
times, the Pilgrim Fathers and the
Maryland Cavaliers faced the same
sort Of music. And today a man can't
walk half block before he hears a
pleading whistle behind him It's
human nature to turn around

The first quarter was in Emporia's
favor. They carried the ball for sew
eral nice gains by end runs and line
plunges- In the second quarter Baker
took the ball and soon had it on the
Emporia 5-yard line. Baker lacked
the final punch and lost the ball on
downs.
In the second half Baker missed an
other opportunity when Jaggard failed
on a place kick from the 20-yard line.
The College of Emporia was unable
to make any consistent gains by the
forward pass, failing in all but five
out of sixteen attempts. Baker relied
upon Taylor and Cady for a number
of big gains, while Altman and Hen
shaw played a brilliant game for the
visitors.
Jaggard and w. Scott were valuable
men in breaking up the opponents

ginning in the Grecian game of quoits

small following down through the
centuries, has found a refuge in Kan

game has taken a firm hold among
the minor sports of the city and with
but a few followers to foster it
through it's infancy, it now holds
definite place on the local sport cal
