CLINICS IN SCHOOL
Only Continuation of Plan
Started Last Winter.
Some Topeka Parents Are OPP
posed to New Idea.

Opposition in Topeka to the holding
of clinics for children in the public
schools has been reported. H. B.
Wilson, city superintendent of schools
said today that he had been informed
there was opposition in some quarters,
objection being raised to the use OF
the school buildings.
Miss Edith Lacy of the Topeka Pub
lie Health Nursing association, also
said she had been informed that OBJ
jections might be made to the use
of the school buildings for clinic pur-
poses.
I'VE have heard that there has been
some objection made to the proposed
dental clinics for school children, said
Miss Edith Lacy, but really we are
rather loath to believe it. L never
have been anywhere in the United
progressive, SO willing to give their
children the best possible chance, as
are the people of Topeka.
Why should anyone object? The
dental clinic has been an established
fact for some time and was discon-
tinued only for the summer months.
1t was held on Saturdays in the Prov
ident association building. Now all we
are proposing to do is hold these same
clinics, with Superintendent wilson's
permission, and the consideration of
the school board, in the high school
building, and give the same credit to
the Tor attendance at the
clinic that they would get, if they
were in school; for the clinic is to be
held during school hours, and on Sat
urdays.
Many mothers prefer to send their
children to a dentists office, that be-
ing the most convenient day for them.
We consider that a child in need of
dental work is not up to the standard
in health, and cannot do his work in
school we'll In some cases he is so
much retarded that he has to spend
two terms in one grade. So you can
see that he is missing nothing by the
hour spent out of school and in the
dental clinic.
I'VE are happy to think, and are
sure many mothers will be- too, that
same room, on another day, clinic
for the treatment of the eye, ear, nose
and throat. Our nurses have found
many cases calling for attention as
soon as possible.
"A minimum of ten cents will be
charged in the school clinics, because
we do not regard this in any sense as
charity. This money will only partly
pay the expenses of the nurse who will
always be in attendance at the clinics.
The doctors are very generously Civ
ing their services gratuitously.
I'VE have been receiving splendid
cooperation from the teachers of he
city without exception and we hope
that the work we are trying to do will
receive the hearty support of everyone
in Topeka"

One farmer told the writer
at the Hutchinson Fair that he
used to trade in all his butter
and eggs for groceries, but
that now the cash for his eggs
from Ball bought all his
groceries the Ball Way, and he
got $500 a week clear by sell
ing his cream instead of max
ing butter.
Another co-operator from
Greensburg, Kansas, told the
writer he had saved $4,000 on
groceries alone, because by the
Ball Way he could buy at
wholesale.

| Keeney, who got Officer Farrell, em- ployed at this shop, and followed the two. MT. Kallum overheard the striker declare that he would ''get you tomorrow night" referring to Semron.
 Officer Farrel told of following Yuska and Semron and seeing the former hiding behind a tree on New ington road. He also saw him stoop down and pick up stones from the gutter. The officer was near enough to hear Yuska threaten Semron by saying 'I'll get you tonight" He also heard Yuska censor Semron for remaining at work while he was on a strike for by so doing, he argued, he was injuring his (Yuska's) family.
 Wanted To Kill Snake.
 The accused denied all. He said he had one or two drinks but was not drunk. He told Prosecutor Klett that he was hurrying to catch a car for Hartford where he was going to get job, but he could not satisfac- torily explain how 1t was that he was running along Newington road to get 8 Hartford trolley, although he tried to make the court believe that he took that route. to meet a friend who was to accompany him. Asked how he came to pick up the stones with which he threatened Semron, Yuska caused laugh, which even extended to a group of strikers who were in the spectators gallery, by saying that he discovered a snake in the grass andt had intended to kill it with the stone.
 'Ten dollars for drunkenness and sixty days in Jail for breach of the peace" said Judge Kirkham.
 Strikers Places Filled.

Russians Retake LutSk.

London, Sept. 24, 1926 p. m.- Military activities on the eastern front are once more assuming the familiar phase of a slow. German ad- vance, following the recent impetu- Ous rush of the invaders. The Ger man plan of dividing the Russicn armies north and south of the Pripet has been a strategic success in a way, but the immediate effect of the sever ance was to throw an increased bur- der on the Austrians; who seem un- able to check the Russian drive.
 Unofficial despatches from Petro- grad state that the latest Russian victory, northwest of Dubno, is of more importance than was revealed by the official communication from Fetrograd, involving reca pture of the Fortress of Lutsk, northwest of Dub no. Relinquishing this fortress, the Austrians are said to have retired across the Styr.
 All the way from the Baltic port of Riga to the Pripet Marshes the Rus sians are holding their line stubborn ly in an attempt to bring their long retirement to an end The fighting is particularly severe southeast of Wilma and east of Dvinsk. EnvelOpment of the Wilma army having failed, it is as- sumed the Germans will develop their offensive movement at Dvinsk, with the view of an ultimate blow at Riga. It is generally believed the Germans sliaxe determined to- capture Riga be- fore winter sets in. 45.. .a ..a .aes4 .,
