GERMAN POLICY UNFAIR
Blows Up Neutral Ships But Expects
Interned Vessels Protected.

Madrid, Spain, April 15.-Amado
Huertado, an authority on interna-
tional law, has written a letter to the
president of the council of ministers
in regard to the damaging of the
steamship Sussex and the consequent
death of the Spanish composer, En-
rique Grandos. He says:
Spain should take the initiative to
bring about joint action of all neutral
countries in order to put a stop to the
illegal system which has such disas-
trous consequences for all neutrals
The warships of the allied nations
are kept busy protecting their mer-
chant marine and that of neutrals
Germany has no merchant ships now
at sea and her warships are engage
in war service while German merchant
ships are protected by internment in
neutral ports throughout the world.
1T is inconsistent with neutrality
and If German merchant ships con-
tinue to have protection in neutral |
ports, neutrals should demand of the
Germans the protection of their citi-
Zens and merchantmen"

find MANY BAD EYES
Specialists Make Examinations in the
City Schools.

The weekly clinics being held in the
high school building by the Public
Health Nursing association and eye,
ear, nose and throat specialists have
developed the fact that many children
in Topele. are suffering from weak
eyes and that in many cases children
are accused of being backward in their
studies when the real cause is simply
a case of bad eyesight.
Miss Kelly, principal of the State
street school, in an interview today
said: I'm a great many cases chill
dren accused by parents of being
backward in their studies are not to
blame, it's their eyes, for we have dis
covered by examinations made at the
clinics that many children in Topeka
have weak eyes and their parents do
not know it. Glasses should be pro-
vided for those whose eyes are de-
fective."
Some of the teachers are in favor
of the city's furnishing glasses for the
use of the children while at study, for
in some cases when the attention of
the parent is called to the childs con-
dition they refuse to make the child
wear glasses. This question will be
brought to the official notice of the
school board soon, it is stated.

New York, April 14.-Oh, the flow

the dresses that hook up the back are
making a simultaneous debut.
Steadily and insidiously hooks and
snaps and buttons are sneaking to the

to hold your apparel together in the

Crochet buttons also are popular.
Even if all the brass buttons have
gone to the front it appears there are
still divers and sundry other sorts to
go to the rear.
With the full skirts and tight bod

the back fastening really fits into the
general scheme of things most effect

frocks may make a feature of button

find the very newest and smartest
wrinkle is to do your buttoning up be-

You must look to your feet this
summer as assiduously as you have in

Lower Gasoline Prices Are Coming.

Lower Gasoline Prices Are coming.
There is no cause for anxiety over
the price of gasoline" says Mr. John
son, Hudson distributor at Topeka
who, in substantiation of this comfort
ing assurance, cites the recent talk of
DR.. Rittman, government expert, be-
fore the Dayton Engineers club.
''Dr Rittman,' says Mr.. johnson,
lis the man who announced a few
months ago the discovery of a new
method of getting gasoline from crude
oil. Being in the employ of the gov
ernment he devoted years of research
views at Dayton have the stamp of
authority" DR.. Rittman's talk was as
follows:
Expenditures of gasoline are great
er today than ever before. One thing
that has knocked the bottom out of
gasoline market is the falling off Of
Oklahoma crude oil. Less than a year
ago, Gushing field, produced 100000
barrels of crude oil, which analyzed
from 25 to 80 per cent of gasoline, in
other words, 10000 barrels per day-.
Now that source of supply has faller:
off until it is below one-third that
amount.
THAT means that despite this dis
covery, which was brought out eight
months ago. and is represented today
and is now being installed in ten addi-
tional plants, with twenty more want
ing it, but we simply cannot take care
of them-it means that despite this
progress we cannot cope with the
problem, and it will be some time be-
fore our curve catches up with the de-
mand curve"

PROSPERITY PREVALENT
Dun's Weekly Review Says Many
Lines Outgrow Productive Facilities.

New York. April 15.-Dun's Review
today says:
"All legitimate enterprise continues
to prosper the absence of speculative
eXcesses affording the best assurances
of sustained progress. Fundamental
conditions strengthen as strictly do
mestic influences become increasingly
potent and wholesome. Optimism
characterizes reports from every lead
ing center and section.
There is still complaint, however, of
the annoyances and delays incidental
to the rapid development of trade and
industry. Business in various lines
has already outgrown productive ia
cilities and in many cases it is diff
cult, if not impossible, to obtain ur-
gently needed supplies with which to
fill consumers requirements.
The transportation problem also
continues a hindrance, though deliv-
cries are now effected somewhat more
promptly and the establishment of
a surplus in idle freight cars indicates
that headway is being made in better
ing traffic condition. 1t is still re-
markable in view of the active rise in
prices that consumptve demands are
sustained in unprecedented volume.

Thoughtful business men agree that
during the present period of prosperity
it is the patriotic duty of every citizen
to practice thrift in order that this
country may be in a sound economic
condition to meet the changed condi-
tions which will follow the European
war.
The prospective motor car owner
can practice thrift by giving careful
consideration to the question of cost of
operation in advance. He ought to be
interested particularly in the matter
of simplicity of design and construc-
ton, because it is not only an i'm
portant factor in reducing cost of
operation, but tends to prevent rapid
depreciation.
