READY TO FIGHT
Jitney Men Will Resist Any
Drastic Regulations.
Matter Is Taken Up by the
Commercial Club.

L. M. Crawford and E. F. Maxwell
of the Topeka Jitney company VIII
oppose any severe measures that may
be taken in Topeka relative to the
regulation of the jitney business In
case of effort to require bonds they
will, through the International Jitney
association, take the matter to the su-
preme court, according to E. +. Max
well, who sooke before the street rail-
way and telephone committee of the
Commercial club under E. E. Brook
ems today.
1t was stated today that it is not
the intention of the committee to put
the jitneys out of business but to pro-
tect the general public by recommend
ing regulations to the city commissions
ers for adoption. II believe that GER
tain regulations as to the capability of
drivers would be conducive to good
service" admitted Mr.. Maxwell. Den
yer made a prohibitive ordinance and
put the jitneys out of business. The
street railway company of that city
owns Denver body and soul"
THE jitney has come to stay" said
L. M. Crawford, Just as the cent
theater has come to stay
Mr.. Crawford was opposed to any
regulations that would put the small
man out of business. I'D rather our
cars be smashed up right on the jump
than to raise my hand against the
man who buys a car on time to make
a living. 1 do not think 1T right to
rob the single man. / tell you the
street car company is standing in it's
own light when it tries to monopolize
business"
"Seventy-five per cent of our BUSH
ness comes through special calls and
joy rides said Mr.. Maxwell in the
course of his remarks.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held soon, and at that time
subcommittee composed of Fred Coul-
son, w. c. Carswell and o. E. Walker
will submit a recommendation.

For several days after BIuey Black
bird started the quarrel with Tommy
Sparrow by wanting to run the whole
garden, Tommy and Billy Robin left
him in peace. Maybe if we let him
alone Billy had suggested when
Tommy told him about Bluey Black
bird wanting all the worms in the gar
den for himself, he will get tired and
want company. Then he will see that
to have company he must behave him
self. He must be generous and kind
Tommy had agreed that that might
be good plan; so they mad left Bluey
Blackbird alone with his glory-and
the garden!
But after a week of solitary gran
deur, Bluey Blackbird showed no signs
of mending his ways. He never called
good morning to his bird neighbors
Gas all the other birds did, he never
invited anybody to come and get
worms in the garden.
"I think we've waited long enough
for him. said Billy finally. Il think
the only thing we can do is to drive
him out of the garden. Birds as selfish
as he deserve no consideration
So Billy and Tommy talked the mat
ter over with their friends and decided
to put Bluey Blackbird out of the
garden. IF he means to act like
that" said one modest robin. II think
he ought to expect to be put out! So
there." And the other robins nodded
their heads that they thought that
very same thing too!
Now 1 won't hear to your fighting
him alone, as you did before" Billy
Robin said to Tommy; that's entire
Iy too much for you'll Well go togeth-
er and while one fights the other can
get rested-in that way we can be sure
of driving him away,'
Billy primped up his feathers in an
imposing array and Tommy ate and
drank till he felt he could fight any
bird-and win tool Then, at a signal
from Billy, they flew down into the
garden. Good morning, Bluey Black
bird" said Billy politely tthey had
agreed to give Bluey one more
chance); we've come Tor some
worms"
Then you have come to the wrong
place." exclaimed Bluey Blackbird,
bristling his feathers suggestively,

CAME FOR WORK.
But Left With Wife's Affections,
Is Charge.
DeGraff Domestic Troubles Are
Aired in Divorce Petition.

story of wifey's affections for an
other man was recited today in petit
ton for divorce filed in the Shawnee
county district court by George De-
Graft against Goldie DeGraff
Prior to May 1, 1915, no trouble
between the plaintiff and defendant
is mentioned in the petition. On May
1, the petition states, that the defend
ant met Frank Cummings when the
latter came to the house to solicit
electrical work. Since that time, the
petition alleges that she has met him
at places in the city, that she has con-
versed with him by telephone, that
she has received presents from him
and that she has allowed herself to
become infatuated with Cummings.
The plaintiff states that on May 10,
in the afternoon he had an engage
ment to meet his wife at the transfer
station and go to matinee. He al
legeS that prior to the time mentioned
the defendant had an arrangement to
meet Cummings, and he claims that
she passed the station on a street car
and went to Cummings rooms at 1885
Kansas avenue and remained with
him two hours. DeGraff claims that
he met them arm in arm after they
left Cummings rooms and accom-
panied the wife to the PLAINTIFFS and
defendants home.
The petition states that the De-
Septenb Der, 1911, and that they are the
parents of one child, Robert, age 2 "
years. DeGraff asks a divorce and
custody of the child

WHY is BAD AIR.

Air is bad, when it is overheated,
when it contains an excess of mois-
ture, and when it is chemically con-
taminated. This is the conclusion OF
the New York State Commission on
Ventilation, as summarized by Profess
scr C. E. A. Winslow, chairman, in
the official organ of The National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the Journal of the
Outdoor Life. Professor Winslow
shows that while it has been a matter
of common belief for a long time that
stagnant air was bad for the body,
until recently no one knew why this
was so. The New oYrk State Commits
sion on Ventilation has definitely
proven two counts against bad air, one
of them for the first time in history,
and will robably prove others later on.
The first indictment against bad air
shows that an increase in temperature
beyond the normal seventy degrees
produces serious arrangement of the
vaso-motor mechanism of the body,
resulting in a rise of temperature, in
creased pulse, and a lowered blood
pressure, with a corresponding de-
crease in efficiency, both physical and
mental. In addition to this, overhead
ing COnduceS TO an unQeSlraDle COHSeS-
ton of the mucous membranes of the
nose, thus, possibly paving the way
for colds, sore Threats, and attacks of
various germ diseases. The work of
the commission also proves that chem
ical accommodations in the air as a re-
suit of air stagnation, bring about a
decreased appetite for food, which in
turn must have an unfavorable effect
on the entire body. In the commits
sion's experiments, the people living
in fresh air ate A II to 10 per cent
more than those living in stagnant air.
These experiments says Professor
Winslow indicate that fresh air is
needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our idea as
to what causes bad air, ventilation is
Just as essential to remove the heat
produced by human bodies as it was
once thought to be to remove the car
bon dioXide produced by human lungs,
and it is now proved also to be essen
tia1 for carrying away chemical pro-
ducts which exert measurable effect
upon the appetite, for food People
who live and work. in overheated and
unventflated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts of diseases, such
as tuberculosis, pneumonia, grippe,
etc.

SANITARY SWIMMING POOLS.

The instructive desire for cleanli-
ness, says Lotze, marks the beginnings
of culture; at any rate it indicates a
fortunate tendency in that direction.
Filth is uncomfortable in the eyes of
those civilized peoples alone who prize
in the case of their bodies the same
degree of purity which they impart to
their enterprises and their personal
environment. The care of the skin
through the installation of public
baths is by no means a modern pro-
cedure. Ancient Rome abounded in
them, and their maintenance became
an important problem of the state.
The baths of Diocletian accommodated
hundreds. Wherever Roman civiliza-
ton proceeded it was attended by a
respect for personal cleanliness To-
day the home of the ordinary citizen
affords abundant opportunity to enjoy
the advantages of the bath not only
as a means of cleansing the body but
also tonic and the promoter of a
healthy skin-'-the best undergarment
ever invented" For the less opuIent
among our people the institution of
public baths is coming to be looked on
almost as a necessity rather than a
luxury. Indeed, with many the bath
is lncIuOeQ with the Otner recognized
factors for maintaining perfect health
and vigor, namely, an abundance of
food, fresh air, and muscular work
or bodily exercise. 1t may seem an
incongruity to speak of the hygienic
dangers lurking in the public bath.
The growing popularity of swimming
pools has led to an increased interest
in their sanitary condition. There is
no longer any doubt that they can
actually transmit disease. When,
is made compulsory, as it is in the
case of pupils of secondary schools in
some parts of the country, a serious
duty of sanitary supervision and re-
sponsibility arises. Typhoid fever and
diarrheal conditions have been traced

tary schools gymnasiums, clubs.
steamships and special bathing estab-
lishments. The examination of the wa
ter is as logical a method of control
as it is in the case of drinking water.
Public baths. pools and plunges, wher-
ever they are located, should be care
fully supervised. Aside from the ideals
of construction, equipment, water
source and supply and personal hygiene
to be aimed at, it should be noted that
refiltration is an efficient and econom-
ical method of keeping water clear
during protracted use. Chemical dis

something in the nature of compro-
mise. In fact, the semi Vos-
siche lettings forecast of the reply
suggested this. 1t says, Germany will
agree to the American terms on condi-
ton that British merchantmen aban-
don the use of false flags; that Eng
land cease arming merchant vessels
and that England be forced to stop
carrying passengers on vessels trans
porting munitions.
AS viewed by officials here, the first
two points have no connection with
the situation at all. They recalled
that when the Lusitania displayed the
Stars and Stripes running from the
Irish coast to Liverpool, the United
States protested and Captain Dow lost
his command, thus approving the
American case, though he acted under
the British admiralty's orders. Since
then, so far as is known here, there
has been no abuse of neutral flags.
Since the early days of the war it
was stated. also, no armed British YES
sells have been permitted to clear from
this country.
Concerning the question of permit
ting passengers and munitions on the
same boat, it has practically been de-
cided that the United States has no
authority to act.
Various sections of existing laws
have been examined but none found to
apply.

To Bars for Amusement.
At Sunrise, the Rev. Mr.. McCorkle
said, the people were compelled to go
to saloons for amusement, and school
facilities were bad. After the Lud-
low catastrophe, he said, reports
were circulated the company was
planning to send to Sunrise Its

preached against it.

pany was guilty of levying war and
their acts ended in war, they must

After his sermon, Mr.. McCorkle
said, he received letter from the
head of the church in Wyoming, de-
claring he must stop preaching So
cialism- He was told, he said, he had
been sent to keep the foreigners down
and not to stir them up.
Horror Publicly Denounced.

children at Ludlow was one of the
most terrible crimes in the history of
our country" said McCorkle, land
