tBy Associated Press.)
PARIS, August S.-Although French
scientists have done good deal to
help the government catch up with
Germany in the scientific departments
of her military preparation, there is
still complaint that their services
have not been utilized to the best
advantage, and the Academy of Sci
ences now poses question as to
whether men of technical training
shall not have a greater share in
the formidable work of recognizing
France after the war.
Henry lie Chatelier, of the institute,
proposes that the academy go to
work at once to formulate the work
ing methods best calculated to accel-
crate the industrial and economic
recovery of the country, without wait
ing for politicians to decide whether
the services of technical and scien-
thc men will be accepted.
Members of the institute expected
that the government would have re-
course to their technical knowledge
in the organization OF some of the
army departments. Instead, members
of Parliament, entirely lacking in
technical knowledge, were placed in
charge of services such as munitions,
sanitary and aeronautic departments,
while men of technical training were
allowed only to submit inventions and
suggestions.
Under the Parliamentary regime
the presence of men not members
of Parliament in the government is
not looked upon with favor. Premier
BRAND was obliged to overcome con
siderable resistance in order to the
Chamber of Deputies to accept such
specialists as Gen. Gallieni in the
War department and Admiral Lacaze
at the head of the navy.
"The administration has no use
for savants," is a remark attributed
to the beaurocrats of the War and
| Navy departments. Both those port
folios have been held by civilians a
most critical periods of the history o.
the third republic.

LAND
AND FARM WORK


LONDON, August S.-One of the
effects of the war will be seen in
great revival of agricultural life in
England and the United Kingdom.
The outbreak of the conflict caught
the British Isles dependent on for
eign commerce for four-fifths of their
food supply, barring meat, of which
60 and 70 per cent is produced at
home
The motto of Hw years ago,
Back to the Land" thus has given
way to the slogan, England must
feed herself" Lord Selborne, the
leader of the crusade. declares that
the attainment of this object is the
country's sacred duty, and he EN-
phasizes the point that the farmer
can do as much for the country as
the soldier in the trenches.
Plans for the great reform include
number of important measures that
are to be put into effect at the
earliest possible moment. They in
clude the following:
The repopulation of the rural dis
tricts and afforestation. The Wal
office has just consented to the ex
change of many of the older mer
who in the earlier days of the wal
/ left farm work for the firing line fol
men between 10 and 30 to take theii
places at the front. This exchange
will begin Immediately.
The setting aside of thousands o
acres for the settlement on the co
operative plan of Englands soldiers
and sailors after the war This ex
pediency is provided for by the
smaliholding colonies act, now hall
way through Parliament, The plan
will provide for model villages, better
housing. with garden to every cot
tage, reading rooms, libraries an,
good schools. Conceived by LORI
Selborne, the idea has aroused s.
much enthusiasm that a wide dc
mand has been made for increasin
the land to be devoted to it by almos
as much again as is Specified in tn
bill.
The importation of natives fror
South Africa for agricultural labo
during the remainder of the wal
though so many objections have bee
raised that there is little likelihoo
of its being adopted.

either the authors best known pro-
duction or the one must closely iden-
titled with Kansas. In most instances
the list comprises Kansas books by
Kansas writers. 1t will be understood
that the inclusion of all the works OF
the principal Kansas authors would
extend the list to 200 or more volumes.
The list is offered merely as n sugges-

PLANS BEING DRAWN
Lincoln School Is to Be Replaced by
New Building.

Plans are being drawn by Topeka
architects for a new school house to
replace the old Lincoln building. A
meeting of the building committee
was held at the high school last night
to discuss the matter. DR.. c. B. Van
Horn. p. w. Griggs and L. NJ. Pen
well are on the committee.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 will be
expended for the new building. which
will include all the intermediate
grades and one year of high school,
Work will commence on the building
next summer.
The passing of the Lincoln school
marks the fall of another Topeka
landmark. 1t was built in 1871.
1t is said that the new Lincoln
school will include many of Supt. H.
B. Wilson's ideas of a model school
house. When finished it will be the
best arranged building in the city.

BILE to obtain drugs from Germany.
True, the supply from that country
has been cut off but it is being made
in this country. But the demand from
the trenches is greater than the
American output.
The grip epidemic is not confined to
Kansas alone. 1t has swept the ma
ton. In Detroit it is estimated that
there are 10000 cases. In Chicago
300 policemen are off duty. In New
York the number of cases is said to
total nearly a million.
In Topeka the situation has spread
beyond the control Of all health Off
GERS of the city and county. Empty
seats in Topeka schools, owing to the
epidemic, are numerous.
And, by the way, Mr.. Business Man,
if you take down your telephone re-
ceiver and the central girl says some
thing that sounds like an unattentive
gasp, don't blame her-she has the
grip. If you get on the street car and
the conductor is grouchy, speak kind
ly if he short changes you-he has the
grip.
Truly, Topeka is in the throes of
old demon crouch under the disguise
of la grippe.

Irishman of the pure stock found in
the Emerald Isle have dark complex
ions and eyes. according to the Rev.
Patrick McInerney. pastor of the
Church of the Assumption, who was
born in County Kerry.
"A red-headed Irishman is as scarce
as a blonde in the congo" he saws
with convincing accent. THE whop-
per-jawed, big-fisted Hibernian who
is funny both because of wit and lack
of it, is a product of the British fmag-
ination. Along about the time of the
rows between the British and Irish
the Albion stage saw fit to Introduce
the Irishman as a comedy character.
in the same manner as the New Eng
land sawmill play uses the rube to
provoke a laugh. However the Irish
man was introduced more in derision
than for comedy. The character stuck.
To-day the funny papers and aver
age man thinks of the Hibernian as a
scarlet topped, red faced humorist,
good natured. pugnacious and a born
politician.
Peaceful in Ireland.
"In Ireland" says Father Mo
Inerney, 1.-The people are very peace
able-in fact no worse than in any
other peaceable community. There is
very little to this shillalah business
The Irish as a rule have dark hair
and eyes and can be said to possess ro-
mantle characters. When the romance
of the Hibernian is presented on the
stage it is often true to life but he Is
no more of a buffoon than the men OF
any other race"
How about his sense of humor r.
was asked.
"'Tis true" replied Father Mo-
Inerney. "he does possess a sense Of
humor and wit as most Celtic people
do. i should say that the blarney at

sense of gallantry."
Father McInerney was born in ire
land and spent his youth there. He
was educated in Belgium and Rheims.
later coming to the United States. Ho
has been pastor of the Church of the
Assumption for nearly two years and
is assisted by Father Nellegan.
But he's not an Irishman," ex-
plains Father McInerney. HE was

in the RATHER with a couple of hum

more than a stipulated amount of

The Asphalt Tests.
Asphalt to be used in paving is also
put through a course of sprouts. The
city regulations require a certain mix

the asphalt plant but from the wag-

paving is being done. In seven min
utes after the sample reaches the en-
ginecr's office the engineer IS able to
state with authority what its compo-
sition is. Until year or two ago the
process took a couple of hours. Ii
