The burn was giving the president
some pain today but promised not to
be serious.
Altho the burn was so deep that
the resulting inflammation caused the
skin to break in several places. Dr.

hopeful that the member will not be

LESS ARMY FOOD
Fighting Forces Will
"Hooverize," Too.
In Summer Less Food Is Need
ed, Hence a Saving.

Washington, April 2O.-The ma
TONS fighting forces are preparing to
"Hooverize'' this summer. In the hot
months when there is greater danger
of food waste thru improper care,
there will be strictest economy in army
camps. An order issued by the war
department today provides for the re-
duction of surplus food supplies dur
ing hot weather to the minimum.
Not more than ten days supplies
of certain foodstuffs may be kept in
the company kitchens, the order says
and no camp can lave more than
thirty days supply of flour on hand
at one time.
Frequent close inspections will be
made to ascertain the quantity and
quality of the stores on hand. When
ever consumption of an article falls
below the quantity estimated imme-
date steps should be taken, the order
adds, to assure proper disposition be-
fore the food begins to spoil
I'm the present circumstances" the
order concludes. mo food loss is toe

Grubbs came in for his full share of

giving Bessie Stewart an equal trim

over the streets of Topeka. They
drove to Lawrence that night and
were married there at O'Clock in the
morning Grubbs admitted that while
they were engaged they had not set
on a definite wedding date until after
the chase on the streets of Topeka.
AT a late hour this afternoon, the
defense had filed no notice of appeal
to the supreme court. 1t was cur
rently rumored such an appeal would
be made. However, no notice to this
effect has been given by attorneys for
Grubbs.
After filing the suit Bessie Stewart
went to Kansas City where she worked
as q sales lady for a ladies' furnishing
store.

This Kind of Weather Enables
1t To Spread Out.
Topeka Got 2 of an Inch of
Snow, Flora Says.
TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY.

Temperatures for the day averaged
% degrees below the normal for the
date. The wind was blowing twelve
miles an hour from the north at 2
o'clock.
The cold weather of Friday. night
brought one blessing, according to E.
F. A. Reinisch, superintendent of city
parks. The cold killed all of the can
ker worms that were on the trees and
there will be no danger of defoliated
trees this year.
The forecast for next week says fair
and warmer weather will prevail; tenn
peratures will be above normal after
Tuesday.
world for the growing wheat
jubilantly declared Meteorologist
Flora this morning. You see in Kan
sas this kind of weather allows the
wheat to grow and expand and spread
out-and Kansas weeds do not brave
cold and snow in their attack on the
rtation'S bread basket
So far the cold has not done any
special damage to the fruit crops,
attic the peaches and cherries have
suffered to some extent. But the APP
pies are not hurt, and the present in
dications are that the Kansas apple
crop will be one of the biggest in the
history of the state.
But the big danger to the growing
fruit is due to arrive tonight, and it is
some gamble. too. You can play it
either way and with even chance
to win. If the clouds stay in the sky
thru the night the misty blanket will
be the covering that saves the tender
buds. but if the sky clears those same
tender buds are due to shrivel and
shrink and have the germ of life froz-
en- in their very hearts.
Snow Blanket Here.
The precipitation in Kansas Fri
day and Friday night was heaviest in
the east and central portions the west
portion recorded only very light rains
Topeka was under a blanket of 2
inch of snow this morning. Precipita-
ton in Topeka during the last twenty
four hours was LA inches.
The lowest temperature recorded in
Topeka during the last twenty-four
hours was 32.3 degrees at 1880 O'Clock
this morning. Temperatures this
afternoon were not expected to go
above As degrees. Temperatures to-
night are expected to fall to either
just above freezing or to about 80
degrees, depending largely on wheth-
Ell the clouds stay or go away. To-
morrow afternoon the mercury may

The wind was blowing twelve miles
an hour from the north this morn
ing. The highest temperature ever
recorded in Topeka on this date was
Sc degrees in 1896 and the lowest was
"a degrees in 1855.
The . inches of snow which fell in
