"SHOP EARLY BLOCKED
BY LOCKED.UP funds
Merchants Want Christmas Savings
Clubs to Make Distributions Earlier.

Tho shop early" campaign conducted
every year as Christmas approaches Is
greatly retarded by the late dates at
which banks pay out Christmas savings
funds, according to prominent local mer-
chants.
People deposit small sums in the banks
each week during the year for a Christ
mas fund. and 1t Is evident that many
thousands here must wait until the banks
distribute Christmas fund checks before
they can even commence their shopping
tours, and It Is reasonable to suppose
that a large number Of these depositors
would shop early II the money were
given them in time.
As It stands now, some of the banks
do not send out checks to Christmas
savers until near the middle of Decem-
Der, and some OF them even later than
that date. 1t Is stated by merchants
that 1t would be an easy matter for the
banks to pay a month earlier than they
arc doing at present. beginning with
1917. During the coming year the pay
ments, which are spread over twelve
months, coulde be deposited in eleven
months, and little II any hardship worked
upon the members OF the savings clubs
It Is argued.
sifted down. there are two reasons why
most Christmas shopping is left until
the eleventh hour: First, because it Is
natural for some people to procrastinate
and. second, the money II not always
available.
For this reason It IL declared the stores
should attempt to secure the cooperation
OF the banks conducting Christmas saw
lngs clubs and prevail upon them to pay
out the Christmas savings the first of
December, or. better still. on November
l5, thus giving depositors an opportunity

at least a partial solution of the shop

BE A BOOSTER

When the Creator had made all the
good things, there was still some dirty
work to do, so He made the beasts
and reptiles and poisonous insects,
and when He had finished, He had
some scraps that were too bad to put
into the rattlesnake. the hyena, the
scorpion, and the skunk, so He put
all these together. covered it with sus-
picion, wrapped it with jealousy,
marked it with a yellow streak and
called it a Knocker.
This product was so fearful to con-
template that He had to make some
thing to counterfeit it, so He took a
sunbeam of a man, wrapper it in
civic pride, covered it with brotherly
love, gave it a mask of velvet and a
grasp of steel. and called it a
Booster; made him a lover of fields
and flowers and manly sports, a be-
lever in equality and justice and eve

tute double taxation, if levied as a
tax, since the manufacturing corpora
tions pay one federal tax on earnings.
1t might also affect our neutrality. A
neutral government does not protect
trade in c%ontraband. 1t cannot en-
gage in it itself. 1t is merely reliev-
ed of the expense of suppressing it.
If it tried to turn it into a source of
revenue, it would lay itself open to
charge of such interest in the bust
ness as to make it a virtual partner.
But these problems disappear with
the ending of the traffic. The chance
of revenue is gone.
The inheritance tax offers little bet
ter prospect. 1t would furnish no
emergency funds, for the government
would have to wait for people to die
and for the settlement of their es-
tates. 1t would be of doubtful valid
ity, for inheritance is not under fed
eraI, but under state laws. There
would at least be great delay, Incl
dent to inevitable litigation. 1t is
probable that Congress will turn to
the new income tax as the chief
source of additional revenue.-St.

AVOID RICH MIXTURE,
SAYS MECHANICAL BULLETIN

Incorrect mixture causes more mo-
tor ~over-heating than. all the other
causes combined, according to Me-
cbanical Bulletin No 3, entitled En-
cine Over-Heating." issued by the
Standard Oil company.
"a rich mixture is a slow burning
rather than an explosive one" says
tbis bulletin. "The heat units vary di-
rectly with the proportion of air and
fuel taken into the cylinder, and if
more fuel is taken in than will form
the correct mixture. more heat will
he generated than the cooling medi-
nm will take care of, whit viii not

1T is very important that the en-

the other hand, it is equally important
that the cylinder should not be rob
bed Of too much heat. The object OF
the cooling medium is to keep the
temperature of the cylinders below
the danger point, but at the same time
keep them as hot as possible to Sc
the maximum results"
"If the motor oil keeps its lubricat-
ing qualities well. ii does much to
maintain proper temperature OF the

that oil made from asphalt-base crude
gives best results in this respect"

PLACE FOR REAL FIRE
ARE COMING BACK
Fireplaces Again Are Taking
Their Place in Topeka.
No Longer Built for Ornament
But for Use.

Topekans nowadays are building
fireplaces for the purpose of burning
fuel and not for ornament only. In
many old fashioned houses, buildings
which were constructed say at the
time of the Russo-Japanese war for
instance. the CRATES were pretty little
marble things. They were considered
an attractive feature of every we'll or
dered establishment. But as for burn
ing wood or coal in them. Mercy, no.
Most of them did not even have flues.
Miss Araminta Holman, instructor
in home art in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, was a Topeka visitor
a few days ago. She was asked about
fireplaces. 1T IS the definite focal
point for family life--the genuine CEN
ter of hospitality" she said, and con-
tinued:
1.-THE first thing to be considered,
of course, is where the fireplace shall
be. If there can be only one. then it
probably is best in the living room,
since here it will be must enjoyed. The
ideal location is the center of some
generous wall space. so there will be
ample room for all these who gather
about the hearth.
The fireplace should be what it is
intended to be-a place for fire. In
many of the fireplaces the architecture
is empha sized, and the open fire is
given no prominent place in the plan.
I'm this as in all other things the
most direct and simple construction
shows the pest taste. The simple way
of doing a thing is the only way which
shows a complete understanding of the
problem.
Materials that should be used de-
! pend upon the taste and purse of the
owner as well as the style and, mater
| ial of the house itself. Brick offers
endless opportunities for interest and
/ beauty in both color and design, and
may be in harmony with any color
