new WAR INDUSTRY
Fortune Telling Has Become a Feature
of the City's Business Enterprises.

Topeka's new war industry, that of
fortune telling, has grown so rap
idly recently insofar as amateurs
those who make no charges but take
whatever people want to give as pay
are concerned that professionals are
launching themselves into the field
Today Topeka has a "sure-nuff' pro-
fessional palmist who is paying Lii
cense Collector Mattingly SIS a month
for the privilege of establishing him
self here.
The new soothsayer has located in
the downtown district. He is work
ing up a practice and offering to tell
the future of anyone who has the
price.
Since the war broke out and men be-
gan to enlist worried mothers, sisters
wives and sweethearts have naturally
experienced considerable worry about
their relatives in the army and the
outcome of the war. Having tired of
reading the various forecasts of great
men on the outcome, effect, ct ce.era.
of the conflict they have taken to Wis
iting fortune tellers hoping that the
latter ty some chance may give them
a peep thru the curtains of the future.
Hence. fortune telling is a profitable
business in Topeka just now

GOSSIP, SPY WEAPON
Wild RumOrs FYoated to Discourage
Red Cross Support.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The Ger
mans are trying to brighten American
women in an effort to hamper the
Red Cross. This was the view taken
at Red Cross headquarters today of
a wild rumor that the Germans have
cut off the hands and torn out the
tongues of war nurses. Alarmed at
the nationwide circulation of this
and other rumors by pro-German
propagandists, Miss Jane Delano to-
day appealed to Chief Bielaski of the
secret service
There is not the slightest founda-
ton to such a report" it was officially
stated at the Red Cross. Every
nurse who served at the various
fronts early in the war has either
returned or is known TO be safe. And
those who went over since the United
States entered the war are miles be-
hind the fighting lines"
The atrocity rumOrs, even reflect
ing on the Germans themselves, show
how far the plotters are willing to go
to reduce American effectiveness in
any war phase, it was pointed out
other false rumors have attacked the
use of Red Cross funds and cast I'M
warranted suspicion on its personnel.

ABOUT JIGGS AND JEFF
Albert t. Reid in Interesting Cartoon
Talk at Current Topic Club.

George McManus, who draws
bringing Up Father" for the State
Journal, is one of the most clever car
toonists and a daughtsman as well, Al
bert T. Reid, well known Topeka art
list and. cartoonist, told the Current
"chalk-talk'' at the association build
ing last night. Nearly one hundred
members of the club and their wives
saw Reid WELD the heavy colored
crayons into life-Iike form.
In speaking of the State Journal IA
vorites, Bringing Up Father and
Mutt and Jeff" Reid explained the
manner in which they were drawn,
how they were reproduced on plates
to be used in the newspaper.
Most cartoons are drawn several
times the size they appear in the pa
pers, and reduced" he explained. I'm
the case of Jiggs in the State Journal,
McManuS draws these comic strips
just as they appear. 1t takes excep-
tional ability to do this. McManus is
a draughtsman as well as an artist"
In his caricatures Reid drew Presi-
den Wilson in cowboy attire, mounted
on a horse chasing the kaiser He
drew, also, cartoon of the coal stu
alton of today, a Sammy an Indian
chief who starred" in Margaret Hill
McCarter's Price of the Prairie" a
Jazz patriot" of the pacifist tribe, a

WAR WORK SYSTEM
Make Business o. Subscription So
hciting, Is C. of C. Plan.

Tentative plans to systematize and
consolidate future war work cam
paigns will be presented to the Cham
Der of Commerce at a meeting to be
held next week. AS the plan is now
outlined. it is proposed to hold but
two war work campaigns each year,
the money raised to be divided on a
pro rata basis between the Red Cross,
the Y. NJ. c. A, the Knights of Col
UNI bus, the Young Mems Hebrew as
ISOLATION, and the International As
ISOLATION of Rotary clubs. All of these
organizations have been active in re-
lief and recreational work among the
soldiers of the allies, principally on the
west front.
1t is certain that as the war pro-
crosses and our own army at the front
grows larger that the demands on the
people for money and then more mon
ey will soon come to be regarded as a
nuisance, unless steps are taken
whereby well meaning persons will be
unable to launch innumerable cam
pagnS for war work of various kinds.
This was so in Canada and the people
were called upon time after time to
support work, worthy in many re-
spects, but so limited in scope that a
large proportion of the money was
frittered away in useless overhead eX-
pense.
The Chamber of Commerce expects
by the adoption of some plan of col
Iective campaigns to abolish the waste
of indiscriminate subscription, and so
place all money raised by this method
in the hands of recognized associations
whose organization for war work is
already complete and in which en-
largemePt will not entail an over
whelming addition to the overhead eX-
pense of operation.
A number of plans to accomplish
systematic campaigning will be pre-
scented at the meeting next week; and
these will be supplemented by an ex-
position of Canada's achievements in
organized relief to be given at the
meeting by William A. Biby, who has
made several trips to the Dominion
since the war started and therefore
has had every opportunity to study the
results obtained under the two meth
DDS. of conducting war work cam
paignS.

BIG NEW GAS DEAL
Doherty Holding Company Buys Ad-
ditionaI Wells and Leases.

Bartlesville, Okla, Nov. 20.-Henry
L. Doherty's holding company, Cities
Service company, has just completed
the purchase from eastern owners of
the gas pipelines, gas wells and gas
leases of the American Pipe Line
company in the central part of the
Usage reservation, was announced
here today. The purchase price has
not been announced.
The property will be operated in
connection with the other natural gas
properties of the Empire" system
which is now supplying the Kansas
Natural Gas company.
The deal just closed is one of the
largest natural properties yet made
in this part of the country. 1t in
cludes the gas leases on 28S square
miles or 184,32S acres of land. The
approval of the assignment of the
leases by Franklin K. Lane, secre-
tary of the interior, was necessary be-
fore the deal was completed. This
approval was received today.
1.-The purchase of this gas domain
means an opportunity for the active
scientific development of very large
undeveloped area of prospective gas
territory" F. P. Fisher, in charge of
all of the gas properties for the En-
pire companies, said today. This
land, together with the pipe lines and
wells already in service by this COM
pany, including so million cubic feet
open How IN gas wells, Will give an
additional supply of about ten million
feet a day as soon as connections
with our present properties can be
made. This amount of gas will be
increased as the tract is developed
We already have taken charge of the
property and arrangements have been
made for its development"
The gas property just bought by the
Henry L. Doherty interests includes
fifty miles of new pipe lines, a large
part of which is twelve-inch pipe.
There is but two miles of connecting
line needed to connect this new, com
pleted gas system with the heart of
the present Empire system. This con-
nection will be made at Cotton Valley
station.
A complete system of private tele-
phone lines goes with the property.
Geological surveys have been made
of the entire property. There are
two distinct gas sands. One of these
is found at about 500 feet and the
other at about 1900 feet In addition
to the wells already in on the tract.
very active work is to begin imme-
diately in the drilling of many more
wells.

TENER WILL WIN
Predict Reelection as Head of
National League.
McGraw's Fight Only Put Tener
in Stronger.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

New York, Nov 2O.-John K. Tener
will again be elected president of the
National league when the old organi-
cation holds its meeting here this. win
ter, and in accepting the invitation
Tener will have accomplished the un-
suspected by silencing, for time at
least the mutterings that have been
in constant opposition to him.
Little has been said on the surface
about John X. Tener's reign at the
head of the National league, but there
have been many criticisms of his re-
Cime from disgruntled, habitual kick
ers.
What Tener has done for the league
isn't much of a question in itself
There have been some disquieting
things intrude on the sanctity of the
mother big league since Tener stepped
from the Pennsylvania capital and
took up the reins in New York. And
Tener has been big enough to rise to
tthc emergency each time.
Tener is quiet. He doesn't raise any
big noise when he starts out to do
something, but he has the happy fac
ulty of arriving just where he started
for every time
May Raise $25, 900 Salary.
John McGraw's blatant protest
against the way things were done in
the leagues headquarters threw
shadow on the leagues president.

ELKS' CONCERT

The Elks scored another decided
mt last night when they presented
MISS Florence Macbeth as one num-
per on their concert course. Miss
Macbeth displayed a charming per-
sonal1ty, a wonderful freshness of
voice, and an astonishing range and
power in her rendition of difficult
numbers.
Opening her concert with THE Star
SpanSIed Banner Miss Macbeth i'm
medlately proceeded with her pro-
gram, reaching two climaxes in the
course OF the entertainment-the first
ner rendition of a difficult number
from TraViata,' which neceSSitated
no less than three E flats in the high
er register, and her pianissimo in
Moonlight-Starlight. The MacDow-
ell lullaby and The Bird" were other
distinct hits of the program.
MISS Macbeth was ably assisted in
her work by the sympathetic playing
OF her accompanist, Miss Clara
Blakesley who displayed good .style
and technic thruout the evening
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-11-20

There have been few times in base
ball when an executive was made the
object of such scathing criticism as
McGraw agreed to stand sponsor for.
Tener came out of that mess with his
colors as bright as they ever had
been, and he effectually stepped on
McGraw for all time by announcing
that he would not again be a candi-
date for the presidency of the league.
He accomplished a coup in this, be-
cause it then became necessary for
the magnates to signify their utmost
confidence in him by inviting him to
lead the league once more
The National league never has had
a more virile president than Tener.
In his quiet, easy-going way he rules
with a firm hand. There never has
been a sustained whisper against him.
He has a clean record.
Chances are Teners salary of $25,-
600 actually will be given a boost when
he is again elected, and it is prob
able his term of office will be for
five years, instead of the usual four.
