BRIGHT THINGS
IOPEKAYOUhGSTERS
ARE SAYING.

The problems that face the tots of
the primary class are taken seriously.
No yOungster ever deigns to take hu
morously any statement that his class
mates may make.
Here are q few incidents of primary
class Sunday school life told by teach
ers of several churches.
In we'll known Topeka home it
has been the custom when the father
is not present to allow the 4-year-old
son to say grace.
One day this week when the minis
ter was guest for dinner. the young
ster was pre- sed into service. His eff
fort outshone all previous attempts
When he concluded ne proudly turn
Didn't 1 knock thunder outa that
grace"
I am going to Sunday school," an
nounced the 5-year-old son of a prom
inent physician, last Sunday.
"All right" said his daddy. Then re-
calling the customary contribution, he
added Take what YOU find in my
overcoat pocket"
AND short time later the young
ster, Juggling 4 huge flashlight, ap-
peared before his teacher.
Now Wen say our prayers" the
Sunday school teacher told her pri-
mary class The children looked up.
Let's all bow our heads" she add
ed. And every head went down.
Then one muffled little voice, COM
ing from a head that was more than
inverted broke into the prayer: IT
can't bow my head so low, 1t makes
me cough"
4 primary class last Sunday was
studying the gifts of the day and
night" Every youngster expressed a
preference and was called upon to Of
fer the reason for making his choice.
The beauty of the sun, the trees.
and ell the other things that show up
well by day were described. Then
the teacher turned to a little girl who
cast her vote for the night. And Won
dering whether it was the moon or
stars that appealed to the youngsters
fancy she asked; why DO you like the
night"
Cause then we go to the picture
show" was the answer.
One 4-year-old who brought four
pennies to Sunday unfortunately sat
next to his 5-year-old sister. When
the plate was passed by him. he drop
ped one of his pennies on it. His
sister nudged him and in a hoarse

Before the grip epidemic swept the

But few eastern wholesale houses

The drug. say the Arnold people, is
liable to reach SO an ounce. SalOl

before the war and will probably go
TO S12 a pound before long.
Contrary to the situation during the
first year of the war, the shortage is
not due to the fact that it is impossi-

stage whisper threatened, I'll tell
mama" Another penny dopped into
the plate. Again came the hoarse
threat. And another cent dropped onto
the plate. Again the threat came.
This time the youngster turned about
and demanded. Don't you think a man
wants some money IN his pocket"
A lesson IN kindness to animals was
being studied by a primary class re-
Gently Each yOungster about the table
recalled the provision he had made
for his pets. Unhesitatingly the stories
were told until one mournful tot
was reached. He hesitated a moment
and then haltingly confessed, "All
we've got's a car"
A Sunday school teacher in one of
the popular west side churches recent
ly had number of pictures, illustrat-
ing the Life Song" painted by well
known local artist. The illustrations
were hung in the class room and their
purpose explained to the attentive pri-
mary class members. Then the chorus
commenced their song. Unmarried it
progressed until the picture showing
a meadow in which are gamboling
several lambs and illustrating the
lines ION the grassy meadows see the
lambs that play" was reached. And
one little songster. seeing the painting
not as the others viewed it, piped
above the remainder of the chorus:
"On the grassy meadows see the
mules that play"
One Sunday school teacher marches
her primary class around the church
every Sunday. Last Sunday a 4-year-
old member of the class brought mis-
2-year-old brother to Sunday school.
When the class lined up to march out
the 2-year-old also stepped into line.
With evident disgust the elder brother
viewed the soldierly efforts of the
2-year-old. When the procession
reached the front of the building his
dissatisfaction reached a climax. Sud
denly hating, he swung and planted
his tiny fist into the stomach of the
untutored rocky. The rocky toppled
over.
Now get up and walk right" the
4-year-old commanded.
The wife of a local newspaper man
put down her 4-year-old son after Of
fering him welcoming kiss on his
return from Sunday school.
The Younster, who kisses his teacher
every Sunday, meditated a moment.
Then he querried. Mamma. why don't
you get nice smelling powder like

VALUE RECEIVED
Topeka Gets What She Pays
for in Paving.
Every Bit of Material Used Is
Thoroughly Tested.
BUSINESS OF DEPARTMENT
1t Is Equipped With the Most
Modern Appliances.
Material Men Rarely Attempt to
Put Anything Over.

Topeka spends tens of thousands of
dollars every year for paving, appar-
emily with lavish hand. But the tax
payer who must foot the bills is pro-
tected at every jump in the road.
There is a city department created
particularly for his benefit; to see that
he gets his moneys worth. The de-
partment is that of the city engineer,
at the head of which is A. r. Young.
But the man in Immediate charge of
the tests referred to is c. A. Forter,
assistant engineer.
Take the cement used in concrete
construction, for instance. Many cars
of it are used every year in paving,
cutters and bridges, and tests are
made of every carload. Samples of
the cement are taken at random from
the cars to the engineers office 1t
is mixed with water and worked INTO
sort of dough, then moulded into
brickettes. After the cement hardens
the brickette is dropped into water,
allowed to stand, then taken out again.
At the end of seven days one brickette
of the several made from each car
load of cement is placed in a special
" built machine for a test of its ten
sile strength. The machine will pull
nine hundred pounds but the new
brickettes do not Withstand that pull.
At intervals other brickettes of the
same days making are placed in the
machine and tested. They must not
only stand given pull but must show
increasing strength as rime passes.
That is just one CT the tests given
the cement samples. Small patties are
made like mud pies and boiled for a
given length of time. If they show
evidences of cracking, the cement
sample is labeled IN. g. and the car
load is condemned.
The Brick Tests.

ments is also subjected to severe tests.

"A nations mineral wealth may ben-
& source of direct revenue to the
state and basis of Industrial develop
ment. The task of placing the true
social values upon mineral resources
therefore involves the determining of
the extent to which these two methods
of serving the public interest are in
harmony and, If they chance to be
opposed, then the weighing OF the al
tentative benefits,
Mineral wealth as an expendable
resource rightfully commands the at
tention of the patriotic citizen, wheth"
er he be lawmaker or landowner, geol-
ogist or chemist, capitalist or mine
worker. Wise use becomes a duty
when anything can be used only once;
and IL full utilization means much to
society," individual rights whose exer-
else involves anything less than full
utilization, must be subordlnated to
the public. In democracy, therefore,
serve the many, not the few. Thus,
the development of mineral resources
If of nation wide value and the pro-
motion Of their best use properly be-
comes a national duty.
A National Asset.
"A nations store of mineral deposlts
Is national asset whose value can
not be easily oyerestimated In his
recent report to the president, the sec.
rotary of the interior, In speaking Of
the assets of this country, gave the
mineral resources first rank under the
suggestive title, THE Foundation Of
power" The higher the stage of
civilization nation may attain the
more exact becomes this conception
that mineral wealth is the foundation
Of power. 1t Is not without striking
significance that mineral names have
been given to the steps in the eVolu-
ton of society-the stone age, the
copper age, the bronze age, the iron
age, and finally the age of coal, in
which we of this twentieth century
live. And the dependence of society
upon these mineral products is shown
by the fact that never has the per
capita consumption been greater, not
only of coal, but also of iron and cop
per, and even of stone.
"A nation that produces under nor
NAL conditions 40 per cent of the
worlds coal and 66 per cent Of it's
petroleum surely has its share of the
two great fuels add the fact that our
mines, furnaces and smelters yield 40
per cent of the worlds iron, go per
cent of its copper and 80 per cent of
its lead and zinc, and the reason Is
