'SH0vELITIS' NToPEkA
Police Ultimatum Had Everyone
Clearing Sidewalks Today

The city of Topeka was today hit by
an epidemic of ''shovelitis'' The
board of health did not seem to be
alarmed and the police smiled with
satisfaction.
To explain: There were more side
walks cleared of snow this morning
than for many a day. The sudden
desire of Topekans to remove the icy
coatings was prompted by an ultima
tum from Chief T.. 5. Harbaugh Tues
day-~wherein the police head declared
that all property owners who did not
have sidewalks clean by 10 O'Clock
this morning would be in Jail ten min
utes after the specified time.
This afternoon not an arrest had
been made. The police telephones.
however. were kept busy by persons
who declared that they couldn't get
their sidewalks cleaned off because of
the labor situation.
That's all right said the desk ser
geant, in reply to such statements.
We have a man right here we will
send out" The man was either sent
out" to clear the sidewalk or the per-
son at the other end of the telephone
wire betrayed evidence of seamouflag-I
ing by saying that maybe someone
could be found to do thezw0fix. sfsgs5S

Earthquake Statistics.

1t has been calculated that there oc-
cur about 10000 earthquakes within a
year. or $3.50 hours, hence. that there
are on the average three and one-half
earthquakes in an hour. Fortunately.
not all earthquakes are of violent ma
ture, like that of A. d. 526. that killed
from 10000 to 100000 persons in the
region OF the Mediterranean, or that
of 1893, to which 10000 persons fell
victims in Sicily. or of Lisbon in 1855,
and those that devastated Chile. Peru
and Japan. or great frequency are
