One of the most remarkable things
in the replacing of mems labor by
women's which is going on today is
the great popularity which mechan-
ical work seems to be winning for
itself among women. From Ireland
comes the account of a young girl
just twenty years old, who is doing
the work of skilled electrical engi-
neer. She is Miss May Trail, the
daughter of Mr.. William T. Trail,
c. f., well-known engineer, who
was the constructor of one of the
first electric tramways-the Giants
Causeway and Portrush Electric
tramway-which was opened in 1883.
Miss Trail, who studied horticul-
ture at Studley college, Warwick
shire, exhibited her gift for mechan.
les while still a student, and as re.
suit was made chauffeur of the col
lege motor lorry. When this was
purchased by the government she

Using Peat in Germany.

Peat coke in Germany Is proving
serviceable in many ways. II is not
only valuable for generating cleo
tricity at moorland stations, but is
much used by backsmiths and for va
cious metallurgical purposes, espe-
cially as a substitute for charcoal
IN producing high-grade iron. A new
turf,coobing plant at Elizabeth-Fehn,
Oldenburg, converts 80 tens of peat
into nine OF coke, with gas and tar
as by-products. Specially-designed
ovens are used and the gas generated
is made to heat the retorts and to
generate electric current to drive
the peat dredging machines. The
tar yields creosote oil, gas oil, par
aim, sulphuric acid and ammonia.

Chas. C. Elliott, of SIN Fran
cisco, a forme. Lississip ian, and
a lead n in the Ms lis i Jpi Societ
of California. is in his native state
to arouse our people to the nee
eSsity of paying for the building
the Comission had erected at the
exposition in his city!
Of course there is no legal OBJ
legation on the part of the state
to pay this debt, but there is a
strong moral obligation. The
comission had secured pledges
from different counties m Inicpa-
lities of funds Tor almost enough
to construct the building. They
could not know that a world war
was coming on and that these
promises would not be met by
the town and counties. On the
faith of the pledges, they had
the building erected and it was
an honor to the state. But,
alas, when the time come to pay
cotton had gone to bottom prices
and there was little to pay with
and very few of the promises
were met. So the comision
could not pay and the dedt stills
stands as a charge against the
state as whole.
The question is, what are we
going to do about it? Are we
willing to derive a benefit from
this advertising and not meet
the bill? We suggest that a pub
lie subscription to be started and
the money raise that will not
stare every one in the face who
attempt to secure emigrants or
capital for the state. Besides, it
is but common honesty to pay
this debt in some way.

TO HEAR WALSH Report
Topeka Industrial Council Will Give
Publicity to Its Findings.

The Topeka Industrial Council has
arranged for a meeting January ~ in
Representative hall at which the Man
ly report of the commission on indus
trial relations will be discussed. This
method is being taken for getting the
report before the people since the gov
eminent has shown considerable hest
fancy in having it printed.
The investigation of industrial rela
ticns in this country was conducted
' st summer by a commission of which
- ank P. Walsh of Kansas City was
chairman. Industrial workers feel
that the report and the facts brought
out have never been given the proper
publicity. Meetings are being ar
ranged all over the country to fill in
the gap. AT the meeting January 27
in Topeka Vernon ]. Rose of Kansas
City, a close friend of Chairman
Walsh, will make an address. He will
discuss the report made by Chairman
Walsh and other members of the com
mission. The report deals with labor
conditions in the United States.

MUST ACT QUICKLY
Supreme Court Serves Notice on E. c.
Wilcox Reinstatement.

If there is objection to the rein
statement of E. c. Wilcox of Anthony
as a member of the bar, the lawyers
and voters of Harper county and the
Twenty-fourth judicial district must
get busy. In a notice today the SUI
preme court stated that any objection
to the Wilcox reinstatement must
be entered within twenty days.
Affidavits in support of charges
against the conduct of WILCOX since his
disbarment in 1918, may be filed not
later than March l. Wilcox is given
until April 1 in which to answer these
charges. In May or June, it is be-
lieved, the court will determine the
merits of the Anthony lawyers appli
cation for reinstatement to the bar.
Wilcox was formerly county attor-
ney of Harper county. He was dis
barred for unprofessional conduct, fol-
lowing the filing of formal charges
against his professional record and the
bringing of criminal libel suits against
him by the late Judge Preston B. Gill
lett. Wilcox was acquitted on the
criminal charges. although his asso-
ciates were convicted. Recently Judge
Gillett died and Wilcox made appli
cation for reinstatement as a practic-
ing attorney.
Notices sent out by the supreme
court today will open the controversy
as to the right of Wilcox to again
practice law in this state.

Mrs. Catherine Dietrich Asks That
Power of Attorney Be Set Aside.

Petition to set aside her sons al

business has been filed in the district
court by Catherine o. Dietrich, widow
of the late Ephraim Dietrich, against
her son, o. S. Dietrich, who lives north
of Topeka on Route g. The plaintiff
lives at Seabrook. Through her attor-
ney, A j. Bolinger, she alleges that the
through fraud.
For her cause of action, Mrs
Dietrich alleges that in settlement of
her husbands estate she was given a
life lease on 39S acres of land north
west of town. She says that later her
son, Oscar S. Dietrich, desired to raise
a loan on his share of the estate, but
says that no company would advance
the money unless he procured deed.
The deed, she says, was issued. Then,
she alleges her son Oscar falsely and
fraudulently pretended that che, the
plaintiff, would have TO give him the
right to run part of the estate and
give him power of attorney. She al
leges that the defendant, acting under
the aforementioned power, collected
rentals and failed to turn over to her
any of the money. Mrs. DIETRICH says
she can neither read nor write and
further alleges that some time later
Oscar induced her to sign another
paper whereby he is now claiming
some interest in the property.
She asks that the sons power of at
tornev be set aside and that a receiver
be appointed to look after her interest
in the estate.

to aid in bringing the auto tourists
through Topeka.
