As predicted a few days ago by 1.-The

ground work for concessions in the
west, provided Germany could have a

Its attempt to lay the blame of

sidered a palpable foundation for a

DIRECTOR OF BANK THERE
Officials Asked To Remove Him
From the Place.
Charge That He Has Failed To
Get Into Spirit of War.

More trouble came to L. B. Leach
today when the state banking depart
ment ordered the removal of the for
mer president of the Wamego State
bank from the directorate of the Pho
neer State bank of Burlingame. The
order was issued by Walter E. Wilson,
state bank commissioner.
Leach's troubles began some weeks
ago when he was deposed as president
of the Wamego bank. He failed to
contribute generously TO the Red Cross
and bought sparingly of Liberty bonds.
1t was stated that he converted his
bonds into cash and failed to get into
the spirit of the war, with the result
that many accounts were withdrawn
from his bank. Additional trouble
came when Leach's son-in-law sought
a bomb proof job rather than answer
the call under the selective service act.
Now the officers of the Burlingame
bank have been asked to remove
Leach from the directorate Leach is
one of the weathiest men in Potta-
watomie county and is said to own
stock in a number of banks, as we'll
having been an officer of the
Wamego and Burlingame institutions.

NEW AUTO SHOP RULES
Close Sundays, and p. NJ. Every Day
Except Saturday, in Topeka.

A new arrangement will be put into
effect by automobile dealers, garages,
filling stations, repair and service
shops, beginning July l. At that time
a new closing order will be effective,
whereby all such houses will open at
7 o'clock in the morning and close at
s in the evenings, except Saturday
night. when the closing hour will be
8 o'clock. Also the houses will not
open at all on Sundays. Some one
central station will be chosen where
emergency work can be done nights
and Sundays.
The arrangement is to be made IN
compliance with the request of the
war service boards recommendation
of the National Automobile Dealers
having for its object the release of
men for war service. The mechanical
force about the garages and repair
stations may, under this arrangement.
be considerably reduced, so that the
extra laborers may engage in work
directly connected with the war.
The arrangement is a national one,
and in many places is already effec-
tive. There is no particular reason,
the automobile men say. why ma
chimes that are to be used on Sunday
cannot be put in order and filled with
gasoline, the previous day. With a
little forethought, and the use OF
dent. the new ruling will not work any
hardship on autoists.
The decision to follow this plan
was made at a meeting of the To-
peka Automobile Trades association
at the Elks club Tuesday night
Members of a committee appointed
to arrange for the emergency station
are: A B. kirkpatrick of the Capital
Auto & Supply Co, NJ. E. Palmer OF
the Palmer Auto Supply Co. and w.
H. lines of the lines Motor Car Co.
In order to get the motor car men

Want To Keep Your
Hair Perpetually Curly?

Perpetually wavy, curly hair is now
within the means of every woman to
possess. One need only get a few ounces
of plain liquid silmerine from her drug
gist and apply a little of it occasionally
with a clean tooth brush. This quickly
dries in the most beautiful and natural
looking waves and creases Imaginable.
Wind and weather do not affect the curli-
ness as where heated iron has been used.
Liquid simerine Is so pure and harm
less there is not the slightest danger of
spottinE the scalp or streaking the hair,
and II leaves no sticky or greasy trace. 1t
Will also be appreciated as beneficial
dressing. as IL keeps the hair soft, silky
and iustrous.-Adv.
