NO FOOD EMBARGO
Nothing Short of War or Famine Will
Cause Officials to Act.

Washington, Oct. 25.-There will be
no regulation of exports or of food
prices in this country, barring actual
famine or war, except to prevent lille
gal combinations. This statement was
made today by u nigh administration
authority.
Administration b1ames the high cost
of living on the war and the resulting
demand of the European countries for
American wheat, flour. meat and
goods notwithstanding the leather
that used to go into SIS shoes.
They figure that the farmer, after
years of getting the worst of IT, s
economically on top. And they fig
ure too, that the retailer in any event
will get his''-despite embargoes or
regulation of prices.

Seniors of WaShburn Pledge
1925 to Fund.
Freshmen of Phi Delta Theta
Give 5000 Alone.
FRIEND GIVES ONE THOUSAND
Another Topekan Donates :
Lots to College Today.
Total of Nearly $4,000 Is
Reached by the Boosters.

The Washburn endowment fund
went up over $4,000 during the last
three days. At the noon rally of the
workers today. a total of s5.344 was
reported. bringing the total of the
present campaign up to $47,9o1. Two
of the teams which had been working
in the campaign the first two weeks
were not represented at the meeting
today and no report was received as
to what pledges they had secured.
The largest single pledge of the
campaign was announced today when
the senior class, at meeting of the
college, signed pledges totaling S2,27o.
After making this pledge some of the
not closed as the members felt certain
that the total pledges would be raised
to $4,000 within the next few days.
The members of the graduating class
will pay these pledges from their own
earnings during the five years follow
ing commencement.
One of Topeka's big business houses
sent in a pledge for $1,000 with the
request that the name of this bust
ness house be withheld from publi-
cation.
A Santa Fe shopman, who has al
ways been greatly interested in Wash
burn, gave the college three vacant
lots today. The college will be given
a deed to the lots by Saturday. The
lots are worth over 800 now and have
been increasing iE value fer seine time
and likely will double in value in the
next few years.
President Womer told the workers
today of two incidents in his cam
paign work that may prove useful to
the other workers. When he was out
in western Kansas last summer he Sc
cured a pledge of one hundred dollars
from a man. The next day he secured
a pledge for double that amount from
the same man and the next day Sc
cured pledge that raised the total to
five hundred dollars. When the To-
peka campaign began two weeks ago
a Topeka man made a pledge of $125.
A few days later he gave two hundred
dollars and then gave an additional
SITS, bringing his total to $500.
The workers will meet at the Com
mercial club next Saturday for the
MONDAY lunch and making the reports
of what has been accomplished for the
week.
Pledges of Over $50.

GOODBYE GLEN WOOD
The Place Will Be Known as Hotel
Roam Hereafter.

With more than $4,000 expended for
improvements and repairs the old
Glen Wood hotel, at the corner of
Kansas avenue and Fourth street, will
re-enter the ranks of Topeka hos
telries November l. But among the
repairs and improvements the "Glen
Wood" has been eliminated and it will
be known as the Hotel Roam. The
hotel will be under the management of
J. c. Reichley, its lessee.
The Hotel Roam will have seventy
five rooms and suites for occupancy.
Much of the repairing consisted of
converting the individual rooms into
two ard three room apartments. There
is to he running water in each room
and elevator service to all floors.
A feature of the new hotel is the
probable installation of mineral baths
in the basement. The baths will be
in charge of a Topeka physician. It is
expected that the baths will be in
stalled before winter.

casiOnal reactions are permit
ted for readiustment and
strengthening of the technical
position While the end Of
big profits is not in sight, it
should be remembered that
larger portions of these are go.
ing into new plant, especially
in steel concerns. UnreaSon-
able expectations of increased
dividends may therefore invite
disappointment, although such
appropriations from earnings
will often really strengthen
the companies making them,
Outlays of this character tend
to diminish the applications
for outside capital, which is
accommodating and will be more
and more tempted into new
enterprises of questionable
character. Taking all things
into consideration there is good
reason for continued optimism,
because money is plentiful,
credit sound, and confidence
we'll established. Nevertheless
there is vastly more need OF
good judgment than in any or
binary boom, for the reason
that the situation is extraordi-
nary in all respects, is full Of
untried circumstances and IL
able to sudden changes.-From
