CANNOT FILL ORDERS
Electrical Extensions Delayed in To-
peka on Account of Supplies.

Extending electricity to Oakland
and other points in Topeka has been
delayed on account of failure of cleo
trical supply companies to fill or
ders sent to them by the Topeka Edi-
son company and the Topeka Railway
company, according to A. M. Patten.
assistant general manager of the IL
linois Traction company, owner of the
two local companies The failure of
electrical companies to fill orders has
not only delayed the installation of
modern improvements in Oakland and
other suburban points, but it has de-
layed repair and extension work of the
state railway company.
The reason assigned for failure of
the big companies to fill orders is re-
ported to be due to the fact that they
are manufacturing munitions for
European nations. In order to facili-
tate the street railway company's re-
pair work and track extension an cleo
trio welding outfit has been purchas-
ed. But much equipment needed
cannot be obtained in Topeka and the
railway company as we'll as the peo-
pie of Topeka must wait until the mu-
milton orders are filled before they can
get the service desired.

GYM CLASS FOR BOYS 'lOOKEE," SAYS MAYOR
Military Drill Will Be Included in
III. S. Course.

Gymnasium classes for boys will be
an innovation in the high school
course this year. Under Elmer Bearg,
former Washbarn football star, three
classes to accommodate more than 100
students will be started September IS.
Gym classes for the girls have
been an institution of the high school
for years. But always heretofore,
Principal A. ]. Stout said today I'VE
have merely said to the boys: Get out
and grow 1t is the opinion of high
school authorities now that in cor
rect posture and general health the
average girl is ahead of the average
boy. We are going to give the aver
age boy a chance to catch up. The
classes are now elective, but with in
creased facilities we hope to make at
least one year of physical training
compulsory"
In the three gymnasium classes a
varied physical training will be Of
fered. Conspicuous is the introduction
of the United States army drill Be
fore the end of the school year Mr..
Bearg predicts the high school boy
who enrolls in these classes will be as
proficient in military drill as any sol
der in the regular army. Work or
the regular gymnasium apparatus will
also be included. Especially featured
in the work, according to Mr.. Bearg
will be an insistence on standing
straight and breathing right
Part of the course will consist OF
lectures on hygiene.

LIKES DETENTION HOME
Officers Have Difficulty in Frying
Bernardino Moncebiaz Loose.

To 13-year-old Bernardino Monce-
biaz, 113 North Madison street, whose
home life has been spent mainly in box
car residences in railway camps and
Mexican shanties. there is no place
like the Detention Home. Her father
is a Santa Fee section hand.
Bernardinos mother is tubercular
and it is up to the girl to do the house
work, and look after six young broth
ers and sisters. 1t is irksome to Ber-
nardino who is of rowing disposition.
In fact her disposition to rove into for
hidden paths decided the authorities
of the Provident association to give a
taste of the iron hand of the law by
sending her to the Detention Home
Monday for a day or so.
When they went Tuesday to take
her back to her home. instead of find
ing an humble penitent they found a
radiantly happy girl. No dishes to
wash, no meals to cook, no six chill
dren to care for. 1t took physical per-
suasion to get her back home.
And when the authorities backs
were turned Bernardino took her be-
loved 3year-old sister in her arms
and tramped long blocks back to the
Detention Home. And it now looks as
tho dynamite is the only means which
will separate her from the Detention
Home and return her to her ailing
mother, her wailing sisters and broth
ers, and her father.

CUT CHEAP GOODS
English Unions Virtually Favor
Protective Tariff Wall.
Prevent Import of Products of
Poorly Paid Labor.

Birmingham. Eng, Sept. 6.-The
trades union congress- representing
nearly 100000 organized workers of
Great Britain took an important and
unexpected step today by adopting
with a majority of more than 1000, 900
votes a resolution virtually endorsing
the principle of protection. The resolu-
lions asks for THE adoption of meth
DDS for restricting or preventing the
importation of cheap. manufactured
goods produced at lower rates of
wages and under worse labor condi-
lions than prevail in this country"
Although these words themselves
accept the principle of a protective
tariff wall, the protectionists among
the labor delegates and in other cir
cles are not inclined to regard the
workmen as having been won over to
a complete change from free trade.
One of the labor members of the house
of commons said the meaning of the
resolution was merely that measures
should be taken to investigate the
origin of goods and conditions under
which they are produced with a view
to preventing the unloading of cheap
goods in this country after the war
which is much feared.
