START MATCH PLAY
Country Club Golfers in Fight for
Championship Honors Now.


In spite of the inroads made in the
ranks Of the golfers at the Country
club because of the war, nearly fifty
players participated in the qualifying
rounds last week for the club golf
championship and the presidents cup.
Arthur Bonebrake bad the lowest
qualifying score, II, with Pat" Camp
bell second, shooting a 10, and Frank
Griggs third with 80. "Boney', how
ever, will not play in these two events,
withdrawing in order that others may
have a chance at winning the honors
that almost certainly would go to him
should he participate. AS Bonebrake
won the state golf championship in the
past two seasons, he has enough laur-
els to last until another year without
capturing all the club trophies besides,
and the club members appreciate his
generous consideration.
All first matches in both events, club
championship and presidents cup,
must be played this week on or before
saturday, November 2. and second
rounds must be finished in both events
by the week following, on or before
Saturday. November 9. Handicaps en-
ter into the matches for the presiden s
cup, as they dnd in qualifying for this
event, but in the championship flight
the play is straight match.
The golf committee announces that
all matches must be played on sched-
ule time or go by default.
In the qualifying rounds last week
it was strongly brought out that golf
is the great leveler of ages. 1t was
interesting to observe on the links
men of ages of John E. Frost and
Catlin competing for places in these
two annual events with such young
sters as Campbell and Mohler. In
golf the trophies do not always go to
the young. and the matches this week
between the older and younger men
| will be much closer than the differ
ence in their ages, and the gray-heads
may win.
The pairings for this weeks first
round in the events of the tournament
are as follows:
Club Championship.

TONS OF RUBBER ALL REPORTS GOOD
Topeka Contributed Literally
to Red Cross Drive.
Names of SIS French Children
on Rolls Here.

The rubber drive for the benefit of
the fund for the help of French or
phans was conducted today. with sat-
isfactory results. With today's collec-
tons, and the amount Of old rubber
the committee had previously gathered
together, the amount realized in the
drive is about two and a half tons.
The different kinds of rubber are of
varying values, so it is, thus far. i'm
possible for the committee to place an
estimate on the value of the collec-
ton. but it will be considerable.
About twenty cars were used for the
collecting work in the morning, and
twenty more in the afternoon. The
committee was ably assisted by the
Boy Scouts who did a great deal of the
work in connection with the collect
ing. and who came in from the trips
about the town with offers of further
assistance.
The members of the committee who
managed the drive were J. B. Walker,
d. J. Hathaway and Glenwood Jones.
The city was divided into districts and
canvassed thoroly by boys of the scout
troop and the owners of machines who
volunteered their services and their
cars. Many of the collectors were
women who drove their own machines.
Collect Later OH Some Streets.
Some of the districts of the city
where there is no pavements. could
not be covered today on account of the
mud, but IL anyone VINO has rubber to
give from parts of the city that were
not canvassed, will call ]. D. Walker
at the Pelletier store, cars will be
sent to make the collection as soon as
the streets are more pasSable.
The Topeka committee has already
on its list of adoptions the names Of
55S children of France who have been
made fatherless by the war. The
feeding and clothing of little children
who have suffered the loss of a parent
in the defense of the worlds liberties.
has fallen largely upon America, but
the maintaining of life in the bodies
of these children is looked upon by the
committee as only a part of the OBJ
legation that not only America, but
the whole world, owes to France, for
it is in France that the highest culture
of the ancient world has been pre-
served for the modern nations.
No other people has SO rich a heri-
tage in the finer arts, applied sciences,
ius as the French. and the preserva-
ton Of that culture in the world de-
ponds largely on the education of the
present generation of French children
in their own schools. Americans, out
growing the provincial view Of world
affairs, are shouldering part Of the
burden, looking even beyond the debt
that this country owes to France for
her help in establishing American in
dependence, to the greater world debt
owed by civilization itself to a Highly
gifted race.

New York. and wherever the pictures
of soldiers families are taken the di-
vision agrees to distribute them in the
war zone. The plan originated with
Thomas Ince, celebrated moving pic
ture producer, and has been so sue
cessful that the idea has been taken
up in cities all over the country. Many
of the fighting men have been made
happy by a view OF the faces and
scenes of home

The photographer, Reid. has one of
the three motion picture cameras in
the state equipped for such work as
the photographing of the soldiers

Still on the Run
Turnout Kansas.
New Cases Are Now Milder,
Doctor Sippy Says.

The influenza was abating thruout
Kansas in the reports received by the
state board of health today. There
probably were more deaths last week
than in the week previous but they
were chiefly cases which had been re-
ported previously. The actual death
figures are not yet available as the
local vital statistics registrars do not
make reports until the month is closed.
Things are looking BETTER" said
DR.. J. ]. Sippy. epidemiologist for the
state board of health. while there
are still a great many cases in Kansas
they are much milder than last week
and we look for a great improvement
thruout this week. All the physicians
report a material abatement not only
in the number of new cases but also
in the virulence of the disease. This
indicates that the disease is actually
on the run in Kansas now and we must
just keep right after it.
May Hold On Long Time.
kansas is chiefly an agricultural
community SO we may expect cases of
influenza for a considerable period yet
as it Is slow in getting thru the rural
districts as congestion is the chief aid
Of Infection
Today came the first objection to
the statewide closing order and it
really was not SO much an objection
to-the states orders as an appeal for
help. A moving picture man asked if
there wasn't some way whereby the
state could compel his landlord to
stand a part of his losses by a reduc-
| ton in the rent during the time the
picture house was closed. The owner
of the theater said he closed up with
out a whimper and thought it was a
good thing, but his loss had been very
heavy and he wanted to know if there
wasn't some way to spread his loss
around a little. State officials could
find no way to help him.
Stay in Fresh Air.
A warning to people to not let the
cold weather drive them from their
sleeping porches was issued today by
Doctor Crumbine, who says that the
cold weather is not likely to help in
the fight on the epidemic but that the
settling of the dust and the clearing
Of the tnosphere will probably have
compensatory effects.
Cold weather has no effect on the
disease, that u NO good effect Doctor
Crumbine says. Freezing tempera-
lures do not kill the germ but rather
have tendency to give it pep and
V1gor. 1t seems. During the epidemic
OF 1889 and 1890 the disease was at
its worst during the severest winter
weather, 1t is recalled.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Food sup
plies for the civilian population of
the Lille region of France, recently

there were described as even worse
