STILL UP IN THE AIR
Nothing Done Towards Keeping
Teachers Convention in Topeka.

Whether Topeka will be able to
hold the annual state teachers conyen-
ton in entirety was still undecided at
a late hour this afternoon at the meet
ing of the board of directors of the
State Teachers association and repre-
sentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce at the Chamber of Commerce.
There was much milling" of the mat
ter by all the members of the board
and there was in evidence a minority
from the western part of the state. in
Guiding Superintendent Mayberry of
wichita, who favored the partitioning
of the state whether or no.
The majority feeling, however.
seemed to be in favor of letting the
matter drop until the convention next
rail-, the larger part of the board ex-
pressing appreciation of Topeka's pre-
vlous handling of the big meeting and
Keeling confident that they would pro-
vide sufficient auditorium accommo-
datlon for the increasing attendance OF
the annual convention.
WhIle there was no bargaining in
regard to a larger auditorium, there
was little doubt but that Topeka would
rise to the occasion with a bigger au-
dltorlum to accommodate the mass
meetings of the association.

TEAMSTER STRIKE
Fuel Shortage Acute With 5000
Drivers Out.
All Deliveries Tied Up; Hotel
Men in a Panic.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-With relief from
the coal famine in sight Chicago again
faced a crisis today when between
5000 and 5000 coal teamsters went
on strike. Their action came as a
complete surprise to the coal dealers,
who claim that they were not aware
of dissatisfaction among the drivers.
James Lynch. business manager for
local 704. Chicago Transfers union,
announced today that the drivers were
being worked overtime without pay
and that the team owners were violat-
ing every agreement they have with
the unions.
All deliveries in the loop are tied up
today and the strikers declare that
they can tie up every delivery in the
city by Monday.
Relief Was in Sight.
Hotel owners are in a panic. Not
a hotel in the city has more than two
days coal supply on hand they claim,
and they will be forced to shut down
Monday if relief does not come before
that time.
The teamsters receive SO per day.
meeting will be held today by exec
utive committee to determine what ad-
vance will be asked.
The completeness of the tieup is evil
denced by reports from the large coal
dealers. The Consumers company,
the largest in the city, was able to send
out but two loads today. Others re-
port that they have not moved a load
Coming on the day that the rail-
roads set for placing coal shipments
in the preferential freight class, and
when consumers were preparing to
stock up their depleted bins, the action
of the strikers places the city in the
most precarious position it has been
in this winter

SPIRITUALISMAFRAUD?
Doctor HefeIbower Tells Topeka Audi
ence There Is No Proof That 1t Is.

"There is no proof that spirituaIism
is fraud" DR.. H. G.. HefeIbower said
in his lecture Friday night on "Medi-
umship and Psychical Research in the
Light of Modern Psychology at Me-
mortal hall, bat we can say that
there are few mediums whose work
cannot be explained.
The time to say whether spiritual
ism is genuine or fraudulent is not
ripe. We can only await Developments"
was Doctor Hefelbower's verdict ar
rived at after many years study of
mediumship and spiritualism EN-
tremely interesting to a good sized
audience was his expose of the tricks
of the profession"

LEFT WOMEN OUT
Stale Federation of Labor Fails to
Provide for Them in S-Hour Law.

Members of the legislative commit
tee of the State Federation of Labor
neglected to include the e;ght-hour
law for women in their legislative
program. None the less. they want to
emphasize their loyalty to the women,
even tho the measure is not included
in their official program.
The State Federation of Labor and
the committee members favor the
women, as do all true Americans"
said A. J. johnson, chairman of the
legislative committee. I'VE are in
favor of and are working for the
eight-hour law for women. However
we merely endorsed the work of the
welfare commission"
Johnson then called attention to
resolutions adopted by the labor COM
mission. The committee went on rec
ord as favoring without adopting the
program of the welfore commission.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE''
Copyright by International News Service

there was something genuine
about him that made her like the
man himself. Even his name was
singular, Hale Leonard. Somehow
it suited him perfectly.
The tea was delightfully."- informal
and afterward Helen learned Just
how artists really lived. The big
studio was where they ate and work
ed but there was kitchen of sort
across the hall, and a couple of tiny
rooms just big enough for a couch.
1t was all quite primitive, but very
interesting. Helen wondered If Viva
would be willing to live that way,
too, and smiled upbelievingly, only
to change her opinion and wonder if
the girl wouldn't do anything will
ingly as she caught the look on
Viva's face when she turned back to
listen to something the man was say
ing. Neither Viva nor her artist
mentioned the fact that any engage
ment existed, so Helen imagined
that it was still indefinite. OF course
there was possibility that he would
be drafted, too. but Helen was GER
tain of one thing, and that was that
she most decidedly approved Viva s
choice.

MARKET PRICES
ARE FORCED UP
Forestallers Drive Butter to
Fifty Gents a Pound and
Eggs to Forty Cents Doz.

Scarcity of butter and eggs. with
early buying by forestallers forced
up to-day's market prices. Eggs sold
for forty cents u dozen, and butter
fifty cents a pound. Farmers blamed
egg prices on the high cost of feed,
but would not give reasons for
the high cost of butter.
City prices were also demanded for
milk. One farmer remarked. "ff milk
is worth ten cents a quart to your
city dealers, we have right to ask
tne same price. Chickens were
thirty five and forty cents a pound
to-day They were generally scarce
but here and there a stallful could
be found. New potatoes are becom-
ing more abundant. They sold for
forty cents a peck to-day Corn re-
mained at eighteen and twenty cents
a dozen. Huckleberries were rather
plentiful this morning at fifteen cents
a box.

Advice to the Lovelorn
Love Cannot Be Forced
Dear Miss Fairfax.

Love Cannot Be Forced
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Am seventeen, naturally attrac-
tive and look about two years older.
l have an older sister, eight years
my senior. For the past few years
my sister has been going out with
crowd of boys and girls enjoying
merely innocent fun. My sister has
great liking for a young man, but
he has never shown the slightest
sign of reciprocation. He has ap-
parently fallen in love with me, but
ir view of the fact that my sister
likes him, my parents will not per-
NIT me to go out with him. Do
you think my people justified in act
ing in this matter?
A constant Reader
wonder IL you are a selfish and
conceited girl or NEARLY an honest
youngster who happens to have at
tracted the man her sister likes and
who has a sensible recognition of
the fact that a mans liking cannot
be compelled. Perhaps this man
really is interested in you and in
that case forbidding him to see you
certainly will not add to his liking
for your sister. Perhaps however
you have more or less stolen" him
by youthful coquetty / know toe
little about the case to be willing
to sit as judge in your court of ap-
peal
