WORK FOR STUDENTS
All Will Be Given Jobs in Topeka
This Summer.

High school pupils will have no
trouble in getting work this summer,
according to ]. F. Kayo, vocational
instructor of the high school. Plans
are being made to establish an en-
ployment bureau in the high school
building for the pupils who are unable
to find work by the time school is out.
Business men of the town have
promised their hearty cooperation
and will assist in every possible way.
Already requests for boys have been
received from banks, wholesale houses
and the telephone company.
A census of the pupils in high
school has been started for the bureau
work and a questionable concerning
employment has been mailed out to
the larger business houses of Topeka.
By the time school is dismissed, COM
plete survey of the work and students
will be made.
The move for cooperation between
the school, and the business men was
started this year when the system of
farming out" students by the bust
ness department was undertaken. In
the place of correlative. reading and
outside work, practical work in real
stores was substituted. The success
has been lauded by both the business
department and by the merchants and
business men of Topeka. With TINS
farming OUT plan in use next year,
students will be allowed to continue
their summer work and at the same
time receive high school credit for
their part time services.

HE RAN A BIG BLUFF
Captain on st. Louis Had Defective
shells But Scared Off Subs.

New York, May 24.-In an article
about the defective shells on Ameri-
can liner st. Louis as shown on the
vessels first trip after being armed
the World" this morning says:
THE port gun was tried and there
were nine more explosions. The star
board gun only had been affected up
to that time. The rifling of the star
board gun was completely destroyed
and that of the port gun was dam
aged to such an extent that it was
impossible to use it with any degree
of accuracy.
The gun at the stern was then tried
out. And after a few shells had been
fired the supports under the deck were
jolted loose and the gun wobbled SO
that it could not be used.
"Out of a total of At shells fired by
the three guns, IA exploded prema-
turely
when Lieutenant Knauss ordered
target practice he insisted that all pas
sengers remain indoors. No one ex-
cept the armed guard and the ship
lookout were allowed on deck or were
supposed to view the practice from
port holes. Knauss feared boomer
ang or a cracked deck as a result of
the firing of the heavy guns on the
old ship.
within an hour after the explo-
sions the truth reached the World
correspondent. When the facts were
put up to Knauss he admitted them
reluctantly.
During the last five days of the
trip, Knauss appeared to age percep-
tibly Despite the fact that his guns
were useless things and that his
armed guard had nothing to fight
with except automatic revolvers. he
was determined to carry out orders
and fire upon periscopes at sight-or
at least attempt to fire at them.
From the time the st. Louis en-
tered the war zone until she locked
two days and three nights-Knauss
remained on the bridge Knauss
worked upon the theory that the guns
were big enough to scare off subma-
rines and therefore he went thru all
the motions despite the fact that they
were not much better than wooden
models
