Vice President of ST. c." Saws Short
age Due to Delay in Returning Cars.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 3.-Hundreds
of witnesses flocked here today anx-
ious to tell Interstate Commerce Conn
missioner McChord why they believe
there is a car shortage and coal prices
are up.
Witnesses were SO numerous that
Commissioner McChord said he would
be unable to hear all and asked writ
ten testimony from the majority. Vice
President Parks of the Illinois Central
was the first witness.
Parks said the Illinois Central has
only 1900 coal cars on it's lines tho
it owns $4,000. All the freight cars it
has now are rs per cent of what it
really owns and if it returned cars
owned by other roads it would have
only thirty-four per cent. He blamed
the difficulty chiefly on the failure
of the roads to return cars as they
should. He advocated placing control

in IRONY OF FATE
Topeka Women Have Given Up
Lives for Orphans.
Now They Are in Need of Help
From People of City.

For sixteen years two aged sisters.
Martha Ann and Linda Blair. have
given their lives to the fatherless and
motherless babies who found their
way to the Topeka Orphans home.
They have mothered hundreds of chill
dren, many of whom are now big
enough and old enough to be out
earning their way. These are scat
tered far and wide They have all
found homes.
And now the two aged women who
cared for them when they were un-
able to care for themselves are home
less Notwithstanding the hundreds
of children they have cherished and
cared for they have not child of their
own-not a single human being to
whom they can look for aid in their
old age.
The women are "a and &c years of
age. They have become too old to do
the necessary work at the home as it
should be done, altho they are still
there. They are too proud to accept
charity in the ordinary form-a reg
ular contribution of groceries and fuel
from the county.
They are refined women who believe
their work for the public entities them
to more than a pittance of groceries
and fuel weekly. And because they
are old and because they are proud
and because they have done a good
work they will be taken care of.
Arrangements are being made
whereby they will be placed in Ingle-
side. The Kansas Children's Home
society. of which the Topeka home is
branch, has made a proposal to the
county commissioners of Shawnee
county. Its officers propose that the
society raise half of the amount nee
essary to place them in the home by
contributions and that the remainder
be contributed by the county in cash
instead of groceries. The county COM
missioners have agreed and within a
short time the two old ladies will be
taken to Ingleside. The cost, for the
remainder of their lives, will be $500
each, of which the county will pay
half in cash.

SONG FOR WEAVEREING
Herbert Buffum Composed Hymn for
Boys Funeral

Friends who attended the funeral
of Jesse Weaverling, the latest child
victim of the craze for speeding,
were unaware that the song sung by
Herbert Buffum and his daughter,
Ruth Buffum, was especially written
and composed for the occasion
Both music and words were written

list. with headquarters in Topeka
Buffum has several hymns to his
credit in the Billy Sunday Hymn
Book and has also supplied hymns
for several musical publishers.
Following is the memorial hymn
for the funeral of Jesse Weaverling:
Cease now thy tears no longer mourn.
Lift up thine eyes to heav'n above
Though fierce the blow-stilI God is
love,
Yes, God is love-through good or ill
Though hard thy lot He loves thee still;
nj supshine fair or shades of night
Whatever love does-must be right
Has sorrow come with sudden sting
Thy joy seems to have taken wing:
Though clouds of trouble veil the skies
These may prove blessings in disguise.
God loves thee so His great heart grieves
At every wound thine own receives;
Fear not the vale-He'll hold thy hand
His ways you need not understand.
God gives-lIe also takes away
Or, loans treasures for a day;
And then at even time may bring
The lambs back to the fold again
So rest in Him and trust His grace
Behind thee LIQUIDS you'll find His face;
Then some day in the courts above
You'll smile and know that God was love
