Movies of Washburn Parade Shown at
a Local Theater.

BY failing to advertise what it had
to offer the public, both the public and
the proprietor of a local theater were
losers Tuesday night. The big parade
which took place in connection with
the Washburn college endowm ent
campaign biggest purely local
parade ever held in Topeka-was re-
corded in films by the Pathe people
who sent a special representative here
for the purpose. The Washburn pa
rade was made the top liner of the
companys news features and was
shown all over the country.
That was how we'll the Pathe peo-
pie thought of the Washburn pa
rade. 1t was of interest to the general
public outside of Topeka and would
have been doubly so to Topeka people.
But only the regular customers of
the house" saw the movie because the
general public was not informed of the
opportunity.
The film was taken in front of the
State Journal. 1t showed the band
leading the parade. Then came the
automobile line and finally the Y. M.
c. A. boys under the leader line,
''Washburn's Future Athletes" Many
of those in the parade were recog-
MIA BILE. Topekans missed an excel
lent opportunity to see themselves as
movie actors"

M|LLERS Give AID
Thomas Page Company of To-
peka Contributes $3.50.
Enough to Feed 425 Belgians-
A Lyons Gift.

A check for $3.50 was received at
the Belgian Relief Fund Executive
Committee headquarters this morning
1t was in answer to an appeal sent
out to the millers of Kansas for ad.
ditional- assistance in raising kansas
share of the relief money so badly
needed to keep over six million Bel
gianS from starving.
The check was from the Thomas
Page Milling company of North To-
peka.
David Bowie, vice president and
treasurer of the company, in making
the contribution, said:
while the people of Kansas have
done nobly in subscribing SO literally
to the relief work, there is still a
great deal of work ahead and much
money will be required to relieve the
awful distress that has come upon
that stricken country. 1t ought to be
pressed home upon all who are in a
position to give. that they must ex-
pect to be called upon from time to
time until the war is over
Mr.. Bowies company had already
been one of the most liberal givers
toward Belgian relief, their contribu-
ton of flour when the ship load was
sent from this state being one of the
largest.
Il hope the millers of Kansas will
respond heartily continued Mr..
Bowie. cit is true good many have
already contributed large quantities of
flour, but that has all been consumed
and more is urgently needed.
Another liberal contribution, the
first one received in response to the
appeal, came from the Lyons Milling
company of Lyons, Kan. NJ. b. Nc
Nair. secretary and treasurer, RENTED
a check for $50.
These contributions are in response
to an appeal sent to all the millers of
the state a few days ago by the ex
ecutive committee of the Kansas Bel
gian Relief Fund 1t is expected
that many other donations will be re-
ceived from the miliers and that every
one in Kansas will make remittance.
Suffering for Food.
The entire population of Belgium,
consisting of six and half million
people. is suffering for want of food
Not all are penniless, but food is so
scarce that the five million who are
still able to buy their provisions can
not find it to buy. so the National
Commission must not only provide
food for the million and a half who

While Sheriff L. L. Kiene was wan
dering through Oklahoma and sending
back reports that the man he had
gone to identify and bring home had
been released and had disappeared
from Alva, after being held there for
a day by the sheriff. the object of his
search was fastening home to give
himself up. This morning Walter r.
James of 124 Clay street walked into
the sheriff's office and said he under
stood a warrant had been issued for
him on a charge of wife desertion.
James was formally arrested, and i'm
mediately released under bond ap

James declares that the charge of
desertion will fall flat when brought
to trial and that it was brought with
the object of making material for a
divorce suit which he expects to be
brought against him. He says that his
wife knew where he was when she
filed the com plant of desertion.

R0BS 3 HOUSES
BarefOOted Burglar Enters 3
Homes This Morning.
Occupants Sleep While Man Ri
files Every Drawer and Pocket.

A barefooted burglar entered three
Topeka homes at an early hour this
morning, went carefully through every
room and suspected hiding place of
valuables. picked out two or three
good suits of clothes, including shirts,
ties and shoes, slid out of the window
and disappeared. His visit was not
discovered until the occupants awoke
three hours later
The homes entered included the G..
j. Johnson house at PIG Fillmore
21S Clay street, and the Frank How
ard home at 221 Clay street
johnson lost a variety of clothing,
Santa Fe pass and S14 in money. A
small amount of money was procured
at the Cuthbert residence.
The burglar entered the houses by
prying open the windows. The out
lines of his bare feet were seen per-
fectly in them I'D this morning
The residence of Frank Howard, 221
Clay street, was also entered. Nothing
was taken as the burglar was dis
turbed while at work when he awak-
ened Mr.. Howard. Thinking it was
some of the members of the family
Mr.. Howard called out and the burg
lar dived through an open window
The three robberies were engineered
by the anle person.
1t is evident that the early morning
intruder was in a hurry. At the Cuth-
bert residence he entered a room
where one pair of trousers was lying
on the floor and another pair was on
chair. He emptied the pockets OF
the trousers on the chair but over
looked the pair on the floor In the
pockets of the latter were a check for
$500 and other valuables At the
johnson residence the burglar stole a
pair of shoes-the police think to wear
but threw them aside as they were
too small for him.
Tom Morgan, Spencer Abbott and
Motorcop Richards are working on
the case.
