Rabein of the Giants led off in the third round of the All Star bowling tournament Saturday night with a split on each alley and each of the ten bowlers who followed seemed to try to duplicate his performance and were very successful as the final score shows. Sixty six splits were hung up in total of 300 frames. The breaks were bad for both teams but some skill was displayed in picking grand centrals' and ligh: house splits. Rabein captured the only 200 score making 205. Lewis after a valiant struggle hooked 199 and Bartholomew came in third with 197.

GOING TOO FAR?

The city commissioners, it is report
ed. soon will be asked to reduce the
effect of the white way lights. do away
with the flood lights on the state
house dome and take other actions
toward the gloomy appearance of To-
peka at night.
The request, it is stated, will come
from c. H. Danner, chairman of the
Shawnee county fuel committee.
Isn't this going too far?
Reports coming to Topeka via
speeches given by recent visitors to
London and Paris always point out
one feature of the war-the high spi-
rits of the people in the war zone.
The theaters, the shops, the restau-
rants-all public places are going at
full blast. There is a psychological
reason for all this-it keeps up the
mettle, it arouses the spirit, it i'm
proves the morale of the popuIace.
1t is doubtful that much practical
value can be derived from the saving
of fuel following the reduction of the
few lights on the white way poles
Even if small amount of fuel were
saved, the effect upon every one on
Kansas avenue-the feeling that war
was so far reaching in its depression
that it would concern a little electric
light plant way out in Topeka, Kan
sas-would be a blow to the morale
of the people
In many countries of Europe the
wearing of mourning attire is pro-
hibited. The nations at war know
too well the effect of the conditions
at home upon the men in the trenches.
We are fighting glorious war-a
war of freedom for all mankind.
There is honor in every battle. This
country, only now awakening from a
mi-stupor of war antagonism. must
not be deprived of too many of the
pleasures of life. London and Paris.
fairly bleeding from war wounds. are
gay despite it all. They should teach
US a lesson.
This attempt to create a wave of
depression never will aid in winning
the war. Practical curtailment of
fuel and food and pleasures and lux
uries is advisable. The people already
are paying more for their daily meal
than the residents of London and
Paris
But let's not be picayunish in our
frugality- We must recognize the
psychology of the public morale.

more than two days.
The twenty-seven yards in To-

"HIKE" TO STAND
Increase in Coal Price Will Ap-
ply to Kansas.
That Is Information Garfield
Sends to Governor.

Increases of As cents a ton in coal
prices in Kansas will stand. That was
the announcement sent to Governor
Capper today by Harry A. Garfield,
federal fuel administrator. The new
rate. Garfield said in his telegram to
the governor. was based on increased
expense to producers based on an ad-
vance in rates to miners.
The increase, however, is not in ef-
feet until the Kansas mine operators
have complied with the wage adjust
ments as specified in the original or
der, according to c. H. DanneF, chair
man of the Shawnee county federal
fuel committee. The majority of
Kansas operators, Danner says. have
not met the wage requirements.
The telegram from Garfield came in
response to a letter from Governor
Capper protesting against the in
creased rates. In his letter to Gar
field, Governor Capper declared
miners had received an increase of but
10 to 16 cents ton for producing
coal. He said the Ascent advance 20
operators was unwarranted and an in
justice to consumers.
Garfield today told the Kansas gov
ernor that the advance in fuel rates
to consumers was more than covered
by increased expense to operators
New rates. Garfield said, are based on
the Washington agreement of October
6, and will stand. Increased cost Of
