LIQUOR PROBE
 ON IN KANSAS

LAWRENCE, Kas., April 17.-Can Kansas be used as shining example to prove the contentious of both the prohibtionists and the brewers? Is Kansas the happy, contented state the prohibitionists picture it? Is pro- hibition failure, taxes high and crimes rampant, as the United States Brewers Association assert?
 To definitely settle the question as to the welfare of the Jayhawker state Prof. F. F. Blackmar, head of the departments of sociology in the Uni versity of Kansas, has been asked by the International Temperance So- ciety to investigate these conflicting statements.
 Prof. Blackmar will find out how much liquor is consumed in Kansas in a year. He will make a study of the relation of liquor, crime, insanity, pauperism, imbecility, dependent and neglected children and to the depre- citation of labor power. A history of the political and legal aspects of pro- hibition in Kansas, including the de- cisions of the courts, and the social and educational past, will be laid be- fore the anti-saloon element. The as sertion by the Brewers Association that prohibition lessens the demand for the grain crop will be either dis proved or substantiated.
 Concerning the investigation Prof. Blackmar says: "Zealous advocates of both sides often assert what they cannot prove to be true. We shall find out the exact status of these statements and have available infor- mation as to the welfare of Kansas"

Germs Fifty Years Old.

Fifty years ago a family living in a little house at York, Pa., suffered from diphtheria. After the disease had abated, the house was white washed, and the process has been re peated many times since that date But recently the whitewash was scrap ed off, for the first time since the family suffered from the disease Diphtheria immediately broke out in the family occupying the premises and the theory is that the disease came from germs that have beer slumbering peacefully, if that is the way germs slumber, for fifty years.
 It can never be known definitely that the fifty-year-old germs caused the trouble this time, but it is an in teresting question for the medical fra ternity to wrestle with. There is nc reason for disputing the theory. We know so little about germs and their habits, that few statements concern ing them can be disproven. But il is known that where contagious dis ease infests home, that home is not again safe until the most mod ern methods of disinfection have been applied.-Dayton News.

FINDING JOBS FOR THE JoBLEss

The problem of connecting with a job the man who is out of work has appeared more than usually serious during these times of extensive un- employment. Various plans have been suggested for it's solution, but few of the expedients have been last ingly effective. The trouble is too widespread for local treatment. Tn the great West a move on a com paratively large scale has been made to find employment for those who de- sire it during the harvest season. The national farm labor exchange has been organized, with the assistance of the federal department of agri- culture and of several railways, to supervise the supply of labor and to distribute it wherever needed. From June 1 to September 15 more than 100000 hands are wanted in the har- vest fields of several states, but at different dates. The object of the exchange is to find places, without loss of time, for the toilers who reap the crops. To further this purpose central exchanges will be opened in Kansas City, Sioux City and Minneap- olis. College students who wish work during vacations will be among those benefited by this scheme. Its suc- cess will possibly encourage some. body to establish an all-the-year- round labor exchange with a much broader scope-Ex.

VERMONT AND MARRIAGE.

Vermont is going to levy fine of $500 against violators of the states new eugenic marriage law. The mar or woman who Weds there Withou having met the requirements of that statute as to the establishment ot physical fitness will be shouldering q heavy financial burden at the out set, to say nothing of the probability of having the marriage declared H. legal.
 This is not happy condition of af fairs in a state which for years ha. lad all too few marriages. Vermont Tn common with other New England states, suffers from dearth of men as compared to the number of women there The males go away to make their mark in the world, and seldom return. Often they forget the folk they left behind them-and wed in the new region to which they have gone. As a result, those states of the North Atlantic caast are peopled to a very serious extent by women of marriageable age who will never be wives.
 A new barrier to Vermont weddings is now raised. In general, the pur- pose is wholly for the good of the race. As it affects Vermont, how ever, the outlook is not pleasing. It means yet fewer bridal events there, fewer new homes established, con stantly decreasing population, com monwealth losing much which just now it can see no hope of recov- ering.-St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette.

Wants More Than Alsace.


 PARIS, April 17-Although it was generally supposed that France would be satisfied with the acquisition of Alsace-Lorraine, pamphlet entitled European Independence" just pub lished by Andre Sardou, son of the famous dramatist, makes considerab- ly wider claims.
 M. Sardou suggests that the new frontier run from Lake Constance to Stuttgart and then follow the River Neckar to the point of its union with the Rhine. .... M. Sardou had previously consid- cred the alternative of giving to France Essen, Wiesbaden, and the important mining basins of Ruhr, , Sieg. and Lahn. but finally rejected these in favor of the first proposal because i've might have the same difficulties with large German pop ulation as they have in Alsace-Lor- raine with French"
 The Gaulois, commenting on this proposal, says: Let those who find it exaggerated, remember that one of the conditions of Germany's tri. umph was the cession of French ter ritory down to the Loire. M. Sar- dou's suggestions are far more mod crate"

HOLOUP MAN
 IN A CHURCH

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April IF F. E. Rims walked into the study of Rev. Phil Baird where he and eight directors of the First Presbyterian church were holding meeting. Hims pulled a pug-nosed gun from his pock. ct and said
 "Gentlemen, have very unpleas' ant duty to perform. l want your money and I want it quick"
 Rev. Phil Baird walked deliberate ly up to the gun and said: "Wait my dear man. You probably need money but 1 will help you get it honestly. I will get you a job"
 Rims, a college man, who later ad- mitted having served time in a New York workhouse, wanted his money on the spot. He said he had not eaten food for twenty-four hours. When finally the minister had talked him into putting away the gun, the meeting took up Hims' case.
 Every man present pledged him. self to keep the facts secret to save Rims.
 Hims broke his promise to the minister and also lost the job the elders obtained for him. A week lat CT he appeared at church enter tainment with the same business-like gun. A second time they made him put away the weapon. But while Rev. Baird was willing to try relig- ion on Rims again the elders called the police. That's how the story be- came public.
