ON ROADS
Weather Bureau Here Will Tell
of Conditions Daily.
New Service Valuable to All
Automobile Users.

Dating from today the people of,
Kansas will not be forced to guess at
road conditions within the radius of
days drive because of lack of authen-
tic information. The road condition
bulletin, a new service innovation of
the weather bureau will make its first
appearance today, according to state
ment made by S. D. Flora, state me-
teorologist.
From a total of about 80 weather
bureau stations over Kansas, sioag
with the weather condition reports
telegraphed in to the central office at
Topeka each morning at o'clo k
there VIII come also a brief wire re-
port on the conditions of the roads
leading into the various towns in
which the stations are situated. These
will be supplemented by other eL" is
from reliable sources farther from the
stations and when all the returns are
charted, a very reliable picture of
road conditions that may be expected
in any particular part of the ctato will
be obtained.
1t has be:n the aim of Flora for
some time to coordinate a report of
this kind with the regular weather re-
port. The system has just been COM
pleted and from now on reports on
road conditions may be obtainable at
all times
The afternoon editions of the State
Journal have always carried the list
of reports from the individual sta
/ tons. This paper will now carry in
addition the road report from these
stations.
Altho the paper will carry the re-
port it will also be mailed out in a
bulletin form to places that have a
special use for it such as garages
where road information is asked for a
dozen times a day by touring parties
making cross country trips.
~ Various automobile clubs have en-
deavored to furnish road information.

ply company. which maintains a staff

ceived road reports from these men

time. changes in the road conditions

and a special endeavor made to obtain

furnish a service that will be much
appreciated by the public that travels
in motor cars.

$500 IN CASH PRIZES
For Overseas Experiences

Nearly every lad who went over
seas has an interesting story to tell
pathetic, amusing or tender-of some
child in France Perhaps it i slittle
Pierre who crept in to eat with him at
mess; or Marcelline whom he found,
white-faced and terror-stricken in
the cellar of ruined house; or Henri
whose father was killed in the trench
es and whose mother was taken to
Germany by the enemy; or it may
have been Aimee who insisted upon
being adopted by the "Americaine. /"
At any rate, there is always a story
and a child.
For such stories as these, or simple
ones telling of the friendship between
the French child and the American
soldier, 178 cash prizes are offered.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, men and
women who were n France during the
war in any capacity,or their families
sweethearts or friends, are invited to
compete for these prizes. Literary
ability is not required. Anybody who

Children of France, Room 634,4 10
Michigan Ave. Chicago" There is no
expense attacmed to entering the con
test, which is open to anybody who
wants to compete. Mothers, sisters,
sweethearts and wives should turn
over their letters from Bill or Tom or
Jack which they have been so proudly
treasuring, and hunt up the reference
to the little French children. just
some one little incident told simply
in letter may win a prize!

ALL MUST SUPPORT
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The Covenant Of the League of
Nations will create a situation which
will at least greatly restrict and les
sen the chances of war between ma
tons. Disputes between individuals
are settled by our courts and we
assume as matter OF course that
no ore shall turn to physical force.
The present war has brought before
mankind, more wildly than anything
else in history, the folly and waste
and crime Of war. We see its terrible
devastation; we see it's terrible
sufferings. All civilized mankind will
struggle for years to come under the
burdens Of this war. With our ad-
vance in education, with our means
Of disseminating information, we GER
tainly have reached the point where
public judgment should support an
understanding between nations that
tends to throw up barriers in the
path of forces gathering for war.
That the covenant Of the League
of Nations itself presents a real con-
structive method which undoubtedly
will greatly tend to restrict war must
be admitted by all. As such, all
should give It help and support.
