SUMMER SCHOOL RECORD.
EmpOf1a Normal Has the Largest At
tendance in Its History.

Emporia, Kan, July 15.-The total
enrolment of 1900 at the summer
OF the Kansas State Normal is the
largest enrolment in the history of
STATE summer schools. The high
water mark for last year was 1884,
while the year previous it was 1,54O.
In 1917 the number was 1860, so a
steady growth is indicated. OF the to-
tai enrolment this summer, 1,400 stu
dents are in the college department
and 500 in the high school and train
ing school.
While the great bulk of the stu
dents come from Kansas, other COM
monWealths are represented. Okla
homa leads with 10 and Missouri is
second with 10. Illinois and Nebraska
each claim two while South Dakota,
Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
georgia, Iowa and Ohio have one
each.
Outside of Lyon county, which nat
urally leads by an overwhelming ma
Jorlty, Marshall leads the Kansas
counties with As. Sedgwick follows
with Al while honors for third place
are split between Allen and Franklin,
both having 80 students enrolled.
N1nety-two other counties are repre-
sented by delegations of varying sizes,

indicate that in the year ending June
80. 1913, there were 557 employees
killed in train accidents. During that
same period the railroads transported
800, 558, $4,000 tons of freight one
mile with an average of 14.31 tons of
loaded cars one mile, so that one en-
ployee was killed in a train accident
for every 37.70S,039 loaded cars
moved one mile. And what does this
indicate? Simply this, that for every
hundred loaded cars operated a dis
lance of 377,080 miles one employee
was killed. This does not take into
consideration the vast number of
empty cars handled at the same time.
In other words, one railroad employee
was killed in train accident for each
100 loaded cars transported a distance
equal to 5 times around the world,
or as far as from the earth to the

A further interesting comparison
as to the hazard of railroad work

leading insurance company of the
number of male persons killed per

Colorado Senator Introduces Resolu.
tion to Be Forwarded to Ma
tionai Congress.
Denver.-Senator Lines Of Fremont
wants the federal government to stop
speculation in wheat, put an embargo
upon wheat exports and to regulate
the domestic production and distribu-
ton Of grain during the European war
at least, to the end that the people Of
the United States may be protected
against high prices for grain and
bread.
These are the purposes Of a joint
memorial introduced by Senator Lines
and directed to the federal Congress.
1t recites that last seasons crop wa )
abnormally large, yielding to the pro-
ducer and handler large profits, be-
cause of the European conflict. 1t
further recites that speculation In
wheat is running rampant, and manip-
ulators operating on margins through
and upon boards of trade have forced
enormous profits out of the market"
and elevated the cost Of bread to the
masses.
1t declares that there are 1000 con-
sumers of bread in the United States
to every grower, and the remnants of
the 1914 wheat crop are now in COM
paratively few hands, that any further
reduction Of the surplus stock of
wheat in the United States by eXporta-
tion is a serious menace to the welfare
of the country.
That the advance in the cost of
wheat has reduced the size OF loaves
of bread and increased the cost to
everyone.
That it would be national crime
further to permit our millions Of bread
winners and consumers to suffer from
the avarice Of the relatively few opu.
lent and constituencies spectators
and holders OF grain"
An embargo is asked until the crop
Of 1915 is being gathered and vege-
table substitutes for bread have been
grown. 1t is declared that such action
would at once arrest the merciless
advance in the cost Of food to our
consumers"
Other states and labor organizations
are urged to memorabilia Congress in
similar manner.

reys.
General Washington rather prided
himself on his riding. so the colonel,
one day when they were out hunting
together, dared him to follow over
one particular hedge. The challenge
was accepted, and Humphreys led the
way. He took the leap boldly, but, to
his CONSERVATION, found that he had
mistaken the spot, and was sunk up to
his horses girths in a quagmire. The
general either knew the ground bet.
ter, or had suspected something, for,
following at an easy pace, he reined
up at the hedge, and, looking over at
his engulfed aide. exclaimed. mo, no,
