The recent registration for select service
in the Oakland precinct shows that there
are 145 Young men in this district between
the ages of p and 81. This offers splen-
did opportunity for the curious among the

Ford Hits Overland.

An automobile accident in which
fatalities were averted by a miracle
occurred Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock
seven miles north on the Rochester
road An Overland car from Holton
was being driven south on the Roch-
ester road, and a Ford machine from
Big Springs was travelling west on the
road to Elmont.
At the intersection of the two
roads, several trees and a high hedge
obscured the view. The Overland car
had been travelling at high speed ac-
cording to motorists who saw it pass
a moment before the accident. The
bigger car struck the Ford amidships.
The latter was badly smashed and the
two left wheels broken from the car.
An old man riding in it was thrown
clear of the wreck and badly bruised.
The crash was the result of the i'm
perfect view of the approach to the
cross road.
Want n New Bridge.
The North Topeka drainage board
has issued a request to the county
board that the condemned bridge
over Soldier creek at Menoken be
torn down and a safe structure erect
ed. The Menoken bridge, which is "A
60-foot span. is so shaky and inse-
cure that a large loaded truck can
not cross it.
According to ]. B. Billiard, chairman
of the drainage board, the bridge is
old, unsafe and should be closed. If
the county does not act in a reason
able time, the board can take legal
action to compel the closing of the
bridge.

At the first break of war, there was

Suits With Long Sleeves.
There is a strange tendency in the
new beach frocks to cover up the
arms and neck. There is something
almost Puritan in the costumes that
have been invented and accepted
! There was time when our women
came rather near following the suit
adopted by Annette Kellermann. They
1 knew that these suits had been adopt

that they created very little adverse
criticism even on the French beaches

NO CAUSE FOR SCARE STATES OR. FRENCH
Dog Fanciers Take Excep- ton to Increase of Dog Tax.
 Allege Discrimination

Dr. A. H. French. dean of the vet exception to the statement of the city bacteriologist made yesterday that the city is threatened with an epidemic of rabies Dr. French stated last night to an Age-Herald reporter that he had not heard of any increase in the number of cases of rabies and that he had called up pr. Gibson and Dr.. narians, who stated that neither had had case of rabies reported to them in two months, nor had he.
 Dr. French stated that people in several sections of the city were much purturbed over the report and that IF his opinion there were no grounds for the scare.
 In his report on the rabies situa- tion pr. Duncan made a number of in reference to the enforcement of the dog ordinances and suggested that all female dogs be taxed $5. This brought out strong protest from many of the dog fanciers VI lhS SltSf w hC OpJCCt lO tiiC AVhie'lS of the species being taxed more heav- fly than the male. John c. Moses, dog fancier, made the following statement in reference to the proposed $5 tax:
 "Dr. E. M. Duncan in his report states we are threatened with a mad dog epidemic and makes a number of suggestions as to the methods of pre- venting it. Among them he suggests a $5 tax on female dogs. Just why he takes this high priced shot al the female of the species I have been unable to figure out. Why should q lover of a dog pay $5 for a female and other individuals only be com pelled to pay s1 on bowling male dog of the Dukes mixture variety
 The owners of dogs care very lit- tie for sex as a rule. and l can not see what right the city would have to charge s5 for one kind of dog and $1 for another If I remember alright. the same suggestion was made to the last legislature. but the members de- cided that all dogs look alike to them and I cannot see how our city commissioners can take a different view"
