NO FRICTION OF CLUBS
Rotary and Cooperative Organiza-
tions Will Work i'm Harmony.

Complete harmony exists between
the newly organized Cooperative club
and the Rotary club, Robert Stone
president of the Rotary club, declared
today. Mr.. Stone heartily approves
the organizatio of the new club, he
stated, and believes that there will be
many opportunities for both the CO.
operative club and the Rotary club to
work together.
IT am very glad to notice the or
ganization of a Cooperative club in
Topeka Mr.. Stone announced in a
statement this Afternoon. Instead of
there being any spirit of anita gonism
between it and the Rotary club 1 feel
sule that the two clubs will often
cooperate for good to the community.
THE Rotary club was organized
for the purpose of raising the tone of
every trade and profession represented
and to build up in the best sense the
community in which it is organized.
Its motto is: He profits most who
serves best 1t is organized for serv-
ice and not for personal benefit. The
cooperative clubs in other parts of
the county are modelled after the Ro-
tary clubs and l feel sure that the
one here will have the same high
ideals. The reason that only one mem
Der is taken from each trade or pro-
fession in the Rotary club is in order
that every line of business so far as
possible may be represented in the
club so that the aggregate knowledge
and purposes of the club may be as
broad as possible.

Miss Edith Cavel, the British nurse

tended by a throng which recalled the
funeral of Lord Roberts at the cathe-

O'Clock a great crowd stood shivering
in the first cold fog of the season
awaiting the opening of the doors.
Shortly after o o'clock signs bearing
the words Church Full were hung
at all the doors except the one re-
served for ticket holders.
Conspicuous among the crowd
which waited patiently in the gloomy
fog until the doors were opened was
a large number of wounded soldiers,
attended by Red Cross nurses. The
sombre clothing of the congrege ton
was relieved here and there by spots
of color of uniforms of soldiers and
sailors when military and naval dig
nitaries took their places. The Only
other seats reserved were for the Lord
Mayor, the diplomatic corps of the
entente allies, and 500 of Miss CavelFs
fellow nurses.
The service was begun with the

AID FOR MEXICAN GIRL
Many Topekans Help Poor Girl Who
Has Tuberculosis.

The diminutive Mexican girl found
in advanced stages or consumption in
a crowded house in First street this
week has received many kindnesses at
the hands of sympathetic Topekans.
The city is supplying the family with
groceries and the Provident associa-
ton has erected a tent house for her
to sleep in.
The little girl is now Immediately
clean and the bedding and clothes she
formerly wore have been burned or
fumigated. The house of the people
she has been staying with will be
fumigated this afternoon and the as
ISOLATION has determined to take as
few chances as possible in permitting
the Mexican family to contract tuber-
culosis.
Physicians say that there is little
hope for the girl living more than a
month or two and the shriveled form
of her body makes her appear from
to years old instead of 4.
There is no need of the city send
ing the mother and her girl groceries"

FREE PICTURE SHOW
Electric Theater Gives Free Perform

The Magic Skin was eliminated

Miss Carrie Simpson, a motion pic
ture censor This afternoon, as a re-
suit. the Orpheum, formerly the Elec-
trio theater. opened its doors free to
the public, showing a Nance O'Neil
film.
The appeal board was called to take
up the matter, but all the efforts of
w. P. Cuff, manager of the Orpheum,
to get the members together failed.
Having advertised the picture, he de-
cided to give a free performance I'M
til something can be done, not wish
ing to charge admission for a film
people were not expecting. The
Magic Skin was to be shown today
and Saturday.
In explaining her reason for barring
the picture, Miss Simpson said: THE
photoplay is taken from the novel by
Balzac- Instead of following the book
as it should. il brings out only the
more sensational and low parts and
exaggerates them. 1 disliked to kill
the film, but it was presented in such
a distinctly immoral way that there
was nothing else to do"
