CLERKS CATCH THIEVES
Topeka System Mfkes Life Uneasy
for ShopIifters.

Shop1ifters in Topeka are having
hard shedding, owing to the installa-
ton of a system of rewards offered
by the various department stores to
their clerks for every thief caught in
the act. The shoplifters are begin
ming to recognize this fact, and ac-
cording to the managers of the stores,
the professional acquirers of unpaid
for clothing and notions have sought
other and less guarded fields.
The manager of each department
store in Topeka, as the idea has been
explained, called his clerks together
some months ago and made a propo-
sition to his clerks. The clerks are
paid for each shoplifter caught by
them on a valuation of the goods
stolen basis. For instance, If a shop
litter is caught having goods worth
$40 in his possession, the clerk re-
sponsible for the detection gets re-
ward of 81. The reward varies with
increasing values

diers hereafter will be allowed to write
for publication and receive pay for
their work. The general staff an
nounced today that the order pro-
hibiting such writing has been modi-
fled to keep alive interest in indi-

HOT AS MIDSUMMER


again tomorrow. 1t cannot now be
called Indian summer. 1t is not cool
enough. The present brand is regular
summer weather. This morning at
1880 the temperature stood at IS de-
grees. This was a record OF IT de-
grees above normal. and is the average
reading for the middle of the summer
at the same hour of the day. This
afternoon the mercury will climb back
up to 90 degrees. Altho long accus-
toned to that heat last summer. the
cool weather Topeka has experienced
will make the heat expected this after
noon a great deal more noticeable. 1t
will continue thruout tomorrow also.
No rain has been reported anywhere
in Kansas during the last twenty-four
hours. Meteorologist Flora does not
make any predictions as to expected
rains either. He merely says Topeka
may continue to enjoy return to sum-
mer weather. From the weather
standpoint tomorrow might well be
recommended for picnics and other
excursions. On Friday there was no
freezing weather anywhere in the
United States. Weather in all parts of
the United States developed summer
characteristics.
The extremes on record for this
date were So degrees in 1909 and S4 in
1891. The wind at 10 o'clock this
morning was blowing at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour from the west.
