Law Protecting Children Born
Out of WedlOck Urged.
Legislature To Be Asked To
License ChiIdren's Homes.

DIR. Lydia A. Devilbiss, director of
the division of child hygiene Of the
state board of health, hopes to get
measure thru the next session of the
legislature which will abolish the
stigma applied to children born out of
-wedlock in the state and which will
secure to every child so born the legal
rights of every child to his two par
ents.
The passage of such a law is one of
the recommendations contained in the
biennial reports of the various state
boards and executive officers for the
tor Huffman, chairman of the chill
dren's code commission, recently
called meeting of the officers and
members for the purpose of having
them ratify the plan to protect chill
dren born out of wedlock and to make
other recommendations for legislative
consideration.
License Children's Homes.
1t will also be suggested that the
legislature pass a law requiring the
licensing of all homes for children,
including maternity homes, and that
a commission on provision for feeble
minded be established; and it will be
recommended that the present state
custodial institution be changed to a
state training school to which feeble
minded children may be committed.
Matters that will be recommended
for further legislative investigation
will be: compulsory education and
child labor regulations, marriage laws,
adoption acts, mothers pension act,
ton of control for child wards of the

The rain, says Flora, is the best
thing that could have happened at
this time. Wheat is in the ground and
needed the rain badly. Good rains
at this season of the year are a neces-
sary boost for the size of the wheat
crop which will be harvested next
fall.
The rain area has passed over Kan
sas and continued on down thru Okla
honia and Texas. No rain is predicted
for Kansas in the next twentyfour
hours.
However frost is on the weather
menu. 1t will not be SO heavy as the
last frost. but it will occur in all parts
of the state tonight.
The lowest temperature in the last
twenty-four hours was SIS degrees,
which occurred at 1880 this morning.
This afternoon the mercury will rise
to about 70. Tomorrow temperatures
will range between As and 10. To-
night, it is predicted, the temperature
will go no lower than As. Tomorrow,
says Flora, the temperature will be
mighty cool in the morning but it will
warm up rapidly.
The extremes on record for this date
were "a in 1898 and 40 in 1912. The
wind at 10 o'clock this morning was
blowing at the rate of twelve miles an

Washington Pays Little Atten-

Dismissed With Same senti-

Germany Admits She. Is on De-
fensiye-Up Against 1t.

Washington. Sept 26.-Germany's
latest peace fiyer-Hertling' speech
was dismissed by officials today as
surlmarily as its more concrete prede-
cessor, the Austrian note.
They promptly branded it as insin-
c.re and pointed to the whole course
of German military and diplomatic
policy for proof of their claim that this
is only another German effort to
squeeze out of the war with the best
possible bargain before American
forces put the finishing touches on the
Teuton dream of world conquest.
Officials said to look at the Russian
situation is sufficient to show that
Germany's glib acceptance of Presi-
dent Wilson's peace r. inciples is not
from the heart.
The president demanded evacuation
of Russia and abandonment of Teuton
control there. But Germany's every
act, they suggested. has shown clearly
that it was aimed at making Germany
master in Russia.
In answer to the query, Does this
offer basis for discussing peace, even
if it were granted that Hertling's ac-
ceptance of the Wilson terms were
genuine?" officials declared emphat-
icaiiy that it does not.
Withdraw Hun Troops.
They said that any peace conference
would have to be pI eceded by an arm
istice which would include withdrawal
OF German forces from Russia, Bel
GUM and France.
There is no suggestion that Germany
is ready for such a step, even tho that
would necessarily be the natural fore
runner of a real peace talk.

power that Germany now admits for

gresham D. r. Anthony, Jr.. arrived
home from Washington Tuesday and
he brings the information that $500
engineers have been ordered to Fort
Leavenworth for training. They will
be in just as soon as the signal corps
soldiers are started for overseas duty,
which will be during October.
Congressman Anthony states that he
viii not do any political campaigning

is best for the members of the politi-

this for the present. He expects to

fore election to making speeches in
the counties of the First district and
in some other parts of the state.

have been Instructed to enforce a
strict quarantine and similar orders
will go to every DISTRICT where cases
are reported. Doctor sCrumbine
warned that IL the people do not take
every possible precaution there Is
grave danger that Kansas will face a
situation such as Massachusetts, is now
facing and that the schools and the
aters may have to be closed and all
public meetings forbidden.
Doctor Crumbine recently wired 70
the surgeon general Of the United
States army at Washington asking Tor
the latest reports concerning symp-
toms of the disease and the quickest
ways to establish beyond doubt
whetheriit wasipresent. and also asked
for the latest developments in methods
of treating the disease. Up to the
present time no answer has come from
Washington in answer to this request.
According to Doctor Clark the Span
ishz influenza now epidemic in the
country is sudden In It's attack. hard
hitting and severe. 1t usually puts a
patient down in bed, unable to get
around at all. 1t Is much more severe
than the ordinary influenza. The
death rate from the disease. according
to Doctor Clark, is much higher IN
this country than it has been in Eue
ropean countries where it has also
been prevalent, only reaching this
country within the last few weeks.
AS an explanation of why the higher
death rate should prevail in this coun-
try, Doctor Clark offers the sugges-
ton that the disease occurred in diff
ferent seasons. In Europe when the
greatest extent of the epidemic was
prevalent, it was summer. Over here
it is now fa1I-alrnost winter-and the
time of the year when colds and pneu-
monia are normally quite prevalent.
The influenza runs into pneumonia
very often, which adds to the death
rate.
Symptoms of Disease.
symptoms of the disease are sore
throat, a sort of a catarrh. very often
an accompanying cough, tho not
usual, GLANDS in the neck and throat
become swelled and the patient will
have a fever of from 101 to 104, aver
aging about 102. After about three
days IL the case gets along nicely, the
symptoms begin to disappear. With
their disappearance the contagious
qualities of the disease are greatly
lessened.
British authorities are.of the opin-
ion that the Spanish influenza Is
caused by the same germ which
caused the Russian grippe which was
epidemic in the United States about
twenty-five years ago.
In Italy, however. medical authori-
ties disagree absolutely with this
theory. They assert that the disease
is the same thing as one which they
term the three-day fever which is
often very common in Italy but which
does not prove as disastrous as the
brand of disease which has come into
the United States. u
