CAPITAL CITY NOTES.
(By Chas. H. Trapp.)


Topeka, Sept 9.-The sharps who
about such things are telling that
the buying of a dollar has decreased
so per cent in three years. l saw
a bunch of women's nightgown's be-
ing marked the other day. They
were made of flannellette and in 1915
could have been purchased for $1.25
with the demandd slow. This lot was
being marked for sale at 1928 and
the saleslady said that the store could
not get enough for the demand.
Out of ten cars that came into the
fair grounds on Friday five were
marked ''Bad Order" A switchman
said that while that particular bunch
the ratio was high that rolling stock
generally is in poor condition.
Most newspaper men in Kansas
know Walter A. Johnson, of the Capt.
tai, who took furlo and volunteered
for foreign service with the Red
Cross. Johnson has been given ex-
elusive charge of r. G. work in Cuba
and goes to the job early in October.
He makes the tenth prominent news
paper man to volunteer for overseas
work from Kansas.
K u, K. S. A. c., Washburn and
Wesleyan colleges have been practi-
cally taken over by Uncle Sam for
the training of active minds for mill
tary service. Ages will run with the
draft. The government will pay a
dollar a day for the maintenance of
the men and will furnish the bedding,
clothing, etc, and will pay $50 per
month to each student. The colleges
furnish the mess kist, the barracks,
and the faculty. The government
will see to it that the colleges make
no money out of the deal. The con-
tract is for nine months, and may be
renewed by the government. The
officials of the colleges are given pow
er to commander such material as
may be necessary TO rush the hous-
ing to completion. Washburn will
spend ten thousand dollars for build
ings, and expects $50 students to
enroll.
Persons who are interested in con-
servation are invited to help out the
Red Gross and kindred charities by
adopting this idea: In every town
where natural gas is a partial fail
ure are literally thousands of feet of
gas pipe which was installed for the
transmission of the fuel when there
y
is now not only useless, but danger
Gus. Out of use it is seldom in
spected. The valves that were bought
for few cents are now worth dol
lars. The pipe cannot be had. Kan
| sas editors can help in two ways by
calling attention to this buried treas
ure. Pipe that has been used for gas
cannot be used for water. It tastes.
Topeka's municipal lighting and
heating plant is to be merged for a
time with the private company for
the purpose of conserving fuel and on
the order OF the state fuel admins
traitor. The state house white way
and the city lighting have been done
for years by the municipality and it
was run in conjunction with the
water Works-on the books It has
! long been a moot question whether
or not the project paid. An oppor-
tunity is impending to get at the
facts.

Neu York anraft RIots.n

The draft riots occurred IN New

the commencement OF proceedings q

and for three or four days ragged IN
controlled. Buildings were burned,
stores and houses were looted, eolored
persons were killed on sight and an
archy prevailed until troops arrived
and restored order. a thousand per
sons were killed and injured.

Which Kind Of ParIor7

The building trade today is largely
using methods in use in the days OF
the Phara0hS, said the principal ar
chitect OF the Office OF works, at the
Royal Sanitary institute in England
recently The parlor question" he
went on, els a difficult one. Some
people prefer one large, pleasant room
to a pokey living rOOEr and small par
Tor. Others urge that the parlor is
necessary for children to 90 their les
sons IN, TO accommodate the piano and
household goods, and also the coffin IN
the event OF a death in the family"
