IN NORTH Topeka

Condition.
Officers viii Prevent Expector-
alton ON Sidewalks.

Farmers coming in from the dis
tricts north and east of Topeka re-
port the roads to be in a Dad condition
due to the snow which has Just melted.
The Happy Hollow and the Sleepy
Hollow roads are in a. fair way to
become impossible IL this wet weather
continues. In the late fall. these two
roads were gra-e.1 and made in q bet
ter condition than they lave ever
been in a number OF years. But the
roads did not have time to pack down
before the fall rains and SHOWS ar
rived, and as q result in some places
there is mud tub deep in the roads.
1t Must Be Stopped.
II the habit Of expectorating on the
sidewalks is not stopped at once, loaf
ers who are in the habit of doing this
disease spreading act are going to
come in contact with the law, in the
form of a heavy fine.
To walk along North Kansas ave-
nue. on a nice sunny day, and see the
great "gobs' of tobacco juice on the
sidewalks is a sickening sight. And
aside from the looks of the thing, it
spread disease.
Merchants have complained to Of
ficer Jones and if the practice is not
stopped at once. arrests will be made.
Officer Jones said this morning: 1T
seems that the public doesn't know
it possible for one to be fined for ex-
pectorating on the sidewalk. If 1 re-
ceive any more complaints from the
merchants, arrests will follow imme-
diately.''

Bruce Meffert, Saturday evening,
took a Star reporter in that spry lit
tie auto of his and drove around the
business center, seeking for tie holes
in the brick pavement. Its the re-
porter's opinion that Bruce found
them all-at least, he hopes there are
not any more. Like most other news
paper men, the reporter does most of
his Iocomotion on his feet, but he can
sympathize with the unfortunates
who have to ride in autoes and hopes
the street committee will have the
aforesaid holes filed up before some
unlucly JOY rider is bounced out OF
his car.

Washington's birthday, next to the
Fourth OF July, is the greatest of our
national holidays, and the memory of
washington il more entirely the
property Of the whole nation than
that OF any other man. Not as great
soldier as some men, not as great
statesman as some others, Wash
fngton more completely united some
Of the most necessary qualities of
both than any other character known
Id history. More than any other man,
he was the man America needed just
at that time. His military operations
were carried on in the face of difficult
ties that would have paralyzed many
more famous commanders. Neither
Napoleon or Frederick the Great had
any such difficulties to overcome as
those that confronted Washington.
When the war was over, Washing
toms strength Of character came into
full play to set an example by which
the public good might be promoted
and selfish ambition curbed. Had he
followed the policy of nearly every
other popular hero, the revolution
would have been succeeded by civil
war, and the United States of Amer
lea might have had almost the same
experiences as those passed thru By
Mexico when that unhappy country
threw Off the Spanish yoke. More d
the greatness Of the American repub
so IL due to the incorruptible patriot
ism and sound good sense of Georg'
Washington than to the qualities o
any other man.

it, and there are now, including the
girls of the high school elected to take
it, and theer are now, including the
girls of the seventh and eighth grades,
about one hundred girls pursuing this
course. It was expected when the
course was added that many would
elect the work and wish to drop it as
soon as the newness wore off. The
interest has seemed 20 increase rather
than flag.
The school is fortunate in having

to begin the work of this department.
Including the expense of plumbing,

COST OF ORPHANS
State Pays S23S.3S a Year for
Each Child in Home.
Meals Are Furnished at Ex-
pense of 9.4 Cents Each.

1t costs $23S.3S a year to care for a
homeless wait at the state orphans
home, Atchison. Each meal eaten by
child in the home costs the state
"a cents. That is the statement of
Mrs. E. K Burns, superintendent of
the home, in report filed today with
the state board of control.
Records of the work of the home
for the year ending July 1, are in
Guided in the report from the Atchi-
son institution. The report shows a
total of 1913 chi1dren-14S boys and
so girls-in the home July /. as
against IFS inmates a year previous.
For supplies, repairs and miscellane-
Gus upkeep, the expense of the insti-
tuition last year was $18,945.1S, a
per capita cost for the year of $23S-38.
A total of 81 children were received
at the home last year, while 4S boys
and girls were returned from linden
lures. Fifteen children-all boys
escaped from the institution during
the year. During the year a total of
207 boys and 100 girls were cared for
at the home.
Since the establishment of the
home in 1887, a total of 2,436 chill
dren have been cared for by the state.
OF this number 1,406 were boys and
1000 girls.
Operating expenses have been fig
ured to the fraction of a penny.
Every meal for a child in the institu-
ton now costs ga cents. Including
the meals for employees, the cost is
reduced to rs cents.
Not a report concerning indentured
children was received from county
superintendent last year although
the law compels such reports twice
each year. Failure to make reports,
however, doubtless saved the home
from some embarrassing financial
situations.
The legislature did not provide
money for the filing of superintend-
ent's reports and it would have been
impossible for the state to have paid
a claim without a special act of the
