2 degrees short of the 90-deEree mark

weeks. Temperatures averaged 2 de-
grees above normal The wind is
blowing at the rate of 6 miles an hour
from the north.
Temporary relief from the hot
weather came last night. Tonight the
mercury will begin to climb and will
continue to rise tomorrow. The fore
cast, which Kansans have learned "by
heart" calls for generally fair weather

parison with the previous weather
conditions.
The normal temperatures after this
date begin to drop slightly, but his
will not prevent the temperatures now
from going sky high. says Mr.. Flora.
The latter part of August is ordinarily
degrees cooler than the first part,
but this year 1t is thought that Kansas

summer. The highest temperature on

! established in 1896. The low record,
55 degrees, occurred in 1888.

The victory was the greatest ever
won by the union. 1t was the third
big victory in three big cities in a little
over three years. The other triumphs
were in Boston and Chicago. Where
extreme violence marked the Boston
affair, the peaceful victory won a year
ago in Chicago was exceeded in order

Mayor Mitchell and Oscar Straus OF
the public service commission were re-
sponsible for the settlement. They
called session after session with op-
posing leaders until peace resulted.
Minor differences will be settled by a
board of three, one to be appointed by
each of the opposing factions and one
to be chosen by Straus.

About 1900 employees of the New
York Railways company and of the
Third avenue railway system are af-
fected by the settlement agreed upon
yesterday by the directors and off
cials and the men after conferences

justed but the uRen believe they would
be granted concessions similar to hose

Marty Krug, manager of the Oma-

of mercy is, and before today's game,
the last of the series, he asserted that
nothing but a clean sweep would sat

will have 10 outplay US to do it," the

cLAss-coNscIoUs SCHOOLS


The school controversy should make
it plain to every iberty-loving indi-
vidual that the control of the public
schools in the hands of the capitalist
class is not intended to be of any en-
tightening character for the young
of the working class, Rather it is to
instl into their young minds the ne
cessity of looking to "superiOrs" for
guidance, to be contented with their
lot and to teach them that the
wealth-owning class is very benevO-
lent in providing places Of entertain
ment and instruction for them.
All movements which aim to de-
ceive the working class take the chill
dren in charge as soon as they can
be reached. If the working class ever
hopes to emancipate itself it must
follow the same tactics and begin
with the children before their plastic
minds are warped with mis-edUca-
ton. Such an opportunity is now
offered the children of the workers.
At the Workers Inst, 900 S. Ashland
blvd, and at Lawson school, Doug
las park, are being held secular Sun
day schools every Sunday morning
from 10 to II. Here the children
have songs, games and stories under
the guidance of class-consciOus in
structOrs.
Beginning July 8, and continuing
through July and August, a vacation
school will be held at Workers Inst,
daily, 2 to 5. This is an opportunity
for those who have not been pro
NOTED to make up the work and go
on with their classes in the fall, also
an opportunity to make up half a
years work and take advanced
standing in the public schools.
For the little people up to the
fourth grade there will be kindergar-
ten work, games and songs and
wholesome entertainment

AMERIcANISM.-The readers of
The Day Book get quite a lot Of in
teresting opinions through The Pub
lie Forum, but I think the editor of
The D. B. should be the crusheT on
such stuff as "Corinthian" writes.
This country is full of foreigners
of his type who come here and brag
about how their country does things.
They are making a good living and
are getting good treatment, but are
always ready to criticise this gov
eminent, or, in other words, bite the
hand that feeds them.
I think the real American people
are satisfied with President Wilson's
policies and are not as anxious for
war as the newspapers of the Willie
Hearsts and a few others who won't
go to the front.
If the foreigners are not satisfied,
let them go back and climb into the
trenches. If every foreigner would
be honest with himself he would say
he is darn glad to be under Uncle
Sans wing. I'll repeat, if CORN

it's a short yump to Pancho Villas

he needs some nerve or he would not

New York Analysis.

The following analysis OF the New
York market situation was received by
w. B. Hibbs and Company, from Logan
and Bryan:
THE railroad labor controversy Is a
cloud hanging over the country and Is A
most serious matter and all lines OF
business are awaiting developments with
great interest. It is not surprising that
the market for securities should continue
to show stagnation and lack Of interest
on the part Of both spectators and in
vestors 1t is to be hoped that the media
ton Of President Wilson will bring a
peaceful and satisfactory ending of tho
matter to both sides. In the face of
many arguments for a bullsh market.
we feel Il is no time to expand and there
fore advise conservatism. and good pro-
lection on open trades is In order
