North Side News

Last Friday the North Topeka
Drainage Board let the contract for
the making of a big cut on Soldier
creek north of town on the old Good
win place. The contract was let to
FL. Campbell and calls for an EEK
penditure of $4,000. The cut will be
400 feet long, rs feet deep, 80. feet
wide at the bottom and so at the
top. The excavating work will re-
quire about six weeks. This cut will
about half mile and facilitate the
flow of the current at a point where
there is an especial danger of over
flow in flood time.
In a certain North Topeka business
esta blishment the employees are
noted Cor notorious, it depends upon
the point of view for their marked
propensity toward practical humor.
There is certain well known and
somewhat tumultuous youth on the
North Side who had lately acquired
a habit of rushing in the front en-
trance of this store, hurting in the
direction of the clerks some choice
pieces of wit which he evolved over
night by dint of much mental labor.
singularly the comedy met with small
appreciation. Indeed the enjoyment
caused by the youths attempts to be
amusing was of so distinctively mega
tive a quality that it was thought well
to cool his ardor for the Lew Dock
stader brand of wit.
A Sprinking can was mounted above
the innocent looking front door, con-
nected by a string to the ready hand
of a waiting joker. When the young
man entered the store on the morning
next succeeding, after these strategic
preparations. he was greeted by an
effective and penetrating cold shower.
which has so effectually CONCEALED
his flow of comedy that he has since
adopted a rather tragic outlook on
life when in the neighborhood of this

GERMAN ATTACK
Kronstadt Prepares for Naval Blow
- f= Soldiers Form Government.

Kronstadt. April s-(via London)
April 10.-Kronstadt is fever1shiy pre-
pairing to repe1 an expected German
naval attack when the gulf of Fin
land is free of ice. A correspondent
of the Associated Press reached the
famous island fastness by travelling
over the vast ice waste which sep
arates it from the mainland and
found the garrison working night ana
day in anticipation of the long pre-
dicted assault.
The fortress is entirely controlled
bv a council elected by the troops,
which is unanimously resolved to de-
fend Russian freedom and territory
to the last. The council is equally
resolute against fighting for the an
nexation of foreign territory. one
member of the council said that as
long as Germany was unwilling TO
abandon its plans of annexation there
was nothing to do but fight He said
that everything possible Mad been
done to put the defense of the fortress
in first class order and that the strong
hold was as strong today as ever
An impressive sight is offered the
visitor to Kronstadt from the walls
after dark At every half mile along
the tracks across the ice bonfireS flare
and in their CLEAN, the red flags or
the revolution can be seen fa1ntiy
waving Around the fires the revolu-
tionary soldiers chant the new revolu-
tionary hymn and cheer for the COM
ing of the Russia republic.

PRICES STEADIER
Near Food Panic Is AVerted in
Topeka Today.
Local JObberS Ease Up on the
Sugar Situation.
INDICATIONS OF A CORNER
ManipulatOrs Take Turn at In
fluencing Market.
Government Control of Prices
the Only Solution.

Foodstuff prices were steadier to-
day following Mondays panic on the
floors of Topeka grocery stores. The
sugar situation. while still critical,
was slightly improved. Topeka job
bers quoted prices this morning Of
$50 a hundred pounds for Leet sugar
and $3.50 a hundred pounds for cane
sugar.
Jobbers today reported small sup
ply of cane sugar on hand and 1t IS
with this amount that they expect to
steady the Topeka market until com
plete recovery of the commodity is
registered. In order to make the
small supply go as far as possible,
they are selling only ten sacks day
to retailers. There is no beet sugar
on hand in Topeka jobbing houses and
other than the ten sacks of cane sugar
& day the jobbers are refusing orders
for advance delivery.
Corner on Market?
Evidence that there is manipulation
of the sugar market by controlling
dealers in the east was pointed out to-
day by a Topeka retailer. The cost of
raw sugar is $6.05 a hundred. For
years S1.40 a hundred has been recog-
nized as the standard difference be-
tween the cost of the raw product and
the refined commodity. This would
bring distributors prices to $40
hundred. In making his assertion
that the market is being manipulated
the dealer produced trade paper
which showed one New York distribu-
tor was quoting a price of $3.50 a hun
dred pounds but was taking only Inn
tied orders. Another distributor in
the same city is quoting price OF
$S25 a hundred for the same quahty
of the commodity and accepting all
the orders he can get. Quotations
made by the two houses a short time
ago showed the distributor now selling
for $7.45 was selling for much high
err price and placing no limitations on
the volume of orders.
The distributor now selling for
1925 was selling for $7.45. These
two dealers are among those con-
trolling the market. They have been
switching prices for some time, al
WAYS alternately as other dealers con-
trolling the market are doing, thereby
avoiding being charged with being in
a combine to hike the cost of the
product.
Take Their Turns.

HEINRICH CONCERT

Miss Julia Heinrich, American So
prano, and Mr.. Rudolph Polk, violin
lst, gave concert Monday evening at
the high school auditorium, in con-
junction with an Edison monograph
demonstrating the merits of the ma
chine in reproducing tones The con-
cert was given by Crosby Brothers
company to demonstrate the excel
lence of the machine, and was compli-
mentary to the musical people of the
city.
The house was filled to capacity
The numbers given were classical
songs that have come into wide popu-
larity by means of the reproducing
machines that are making good music
familiar to all classes of people.
The scheme of making a public
demonstration of the qualities of the
machine is an ingenious one. Miss
Heinrich. who is a singer with the
metropolitan company of New York
sang with her own record, producing
one voice duet. 1t was necessary for
her to lessen the volume of her voice
IN singing with the record in order
not to drown out the reproduction of
the song by the greater volume of her
tone. She has a lovely voice, clear
and true and of exquisitely even de-
Velopment. In one of the songs, to
prove that it was impossible to dis
t.nGulSh between the voice and its re =
production on the machine, the lights
or the stage were turned out and one
OF the voices stopped singing. The
audience was left to guess whether the
machine had been turned off in the
dark or the singer had become silent
1t was quite impossible to determine.
The lights were flashed on suddenly,
and Miss Heinrich was not there
Mr.. Polk, who explained the plan of
the concert. furnished the violin num-
bers, playing with records made by
Flesch & Spalding. He makes an ac-
ceptable speech and plays ably. In
addition to the duets of record and
the performer in person, some num-
/ bers were played by the machine
alone, including a piano solo by Andre
| Benoist, an orchestra selection of a
Paraphrase on die Lorelei, and a bass
! solo by Arthur Middleton.-B. H.

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

An attractive skin wins admiration.
In social life and in business the girl
or woman whose face and hands show
evidence of constant care enjoys a ire
mendous advantage over those who do
not realize the value of a healthy skin
and a spotless complexion.
At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beauti-
fier, by squeezing the juice of two
fresh lemons into bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months. Every woman knows
that lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smoothener and beau
tifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skim

FIX WAGE SCALE.
Women Workers in Kansas May
Soon Get Better Pay.
Welfare Commission Plans to
Investigate Conditions.

Kansas women are to come under
benefits of wage regulations Plans
for wage orders are to be worked out
by the state welfare commission
Following the decision OF the Onlteo
States supreme court in the oregon
case, it is probable that immediate
action will be taken by this state
Under the law of two years ago the
state welfare commission is Vesteu
with power to fix hours and wages or
women in Kansas. A number of or
ders concerning hours and working
conditions for women engaged in mer-
camille and manufacturing pursuits,
have been issued by the commission
No effort has been made, however, 10
tackle the wage proposition
I'VE have gone slow in the matter
of wages" said Miss Lima Bresette,
secretary of the commission. We
didn't want to open up new trouole
and preferred to sit back and wait
for the decision in the Oregon case.
That decision, tho, was most sweep
ing victory for women engaged IN IN
dustrial pursuits. 1t means that we
can now fix absolutely both the hours
and wages of women and that our or
ders will stand the test of the courts.
Make Investigations.
1t is probable that the welfare COM
mission will go directly into the wage
question. Several subordinate COM
missions may be named TO lnVesu-
gate conditions in classified industries,
just as was done in the investigation
of girls and women in mercantile es-
Establishments and in laundries, prior
to the orders concerning working
hours in these establishments.
II really don't know the extent or
the necessity for wage orders in this
state" said Miss Bresette. The mat
ter would require close study and IN
vestigation. And there is no doubt
that the commission will now go into
the matter thoroughly
An investigation of wage conditions
will probably be taken up this sum-
mer, Should the work be completed
in a few months, it is quite probable
that several orders regulating women
wages may be made before the close or
the present calendar year.
Big Victory for Women.
As a result of the decision of the
United States supreme court the state
welfare commission may accomplish
everything that has been asked OF the
state legislature during former ses-
sions. In 1918 a most bitter fight was
waged for the passage of the minimum
wage bill. When Senator Francis Z.
Price fought the bill on the floor of
the senate, he was Kissed by gallery
packed by Topeka club women
The bill failed of passage, however,
and the ultimate result of the wage
and hour fights before the legislature
was a compromise measure which per-
mitted the welfare commission to reg
ulate both wages and hours for wo-
men. ~

that they had to wait their turn while
the regular office force handled the

To bring home more forcibly to the

BOOSTS CORN MEAL
Much More Nutritious Than Potatoes
Makes Excellent Substitute.
ny CARL VROOMAN.

BY NAtG11 tHOOMAN
assistant Secretary of Agriculture;
member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.)
written for Topeka State Journal.)
Washington. April 10.-Cornmeal is
a cheap and valuable food stuff which
is not in as general use in the Ameri-
can home as it ought to be. A pound
of dry cornmeal provides about five
times as much energy and tissue
building protein as does a pound of
raw potatoes. Just now a pound of
cornmeal costs one-third to one-siXth
as much.
When potatoes are scarce or eX-
pensive, cornmeal makes an excellent
substitute. 1t is not however per-
feet substitute for potatoes because.
as it is prepared by modern milling
methods, it contains fewer minerals
and other valuable substances. So
when cornmeal is substituted, balance
it with another vegetable, a salad or
a fruit.
Costs Less Than Rice.
Cornmeal mush for breakfast or
supper is a standard and palatable
dish. Fried, it is an excellent sub
stitute for fried potatoes. There are
dozens of cornmeal dishes in addition
to the various varieties of cornbread.
What is known in the north as Bos-
to brown bread is composed of about
one-haIf rye meal and one-half corn
meal. Polenta is another cornmeal
dish extremely popular turnout south
ern Europe and in certain parts of
the United States. Tamales is another
corn dish in high favor when proper
ly made.
If spectators corner the potato
crop, or as was the case in 1916, if
the potato crop should be short corn
meal is the next best thing. Rice is a
partial substitute for potatoes, but
rice now costs more than cornmeal.
Cornmeal is very wholesome.
