EXTREMISTS LOSE OUT
Overwhelmingly Defeated in France
Socialists Lead in Italy.


Paris. Nov: 1S.-Complete returns
available this noon from all but about
fifty districts confirm the indications
that Sundays elections to the chamber
of deputies resulted in a notable
triumph for the conservative, moder-
ate and nationalist element. In the
54S districts for which the returns are
in, these elements elected 494 mem
bers as compared with 54 seats won
by the extremists. OF the total ac-
counted for to date. 221 are former
deputies while 327 have not hitherto
been members of the chamber.

The city and community-not the

fall of grade school girls in Topeka,
william A McKeever, of Kansas uni

his address before the Current Topic

McKeever scored the city for its

So with Topeka. A Y. NJ. c. A. a

SHY AT METER PLAN
One Reader for Three Utilities Not
Favored by Purdy or Trcleaven.

One Reader for Three Utilities Not
Favored by Purdy or TreIeaven.
Adoption of a meter reading plan,
proposed Monday by Commissioner
Wilbur Stanfield. in conference with
A H. Purdy, and others. for consoli-
dation of the meter reading forces of
the Topeka Edison Co, the Consum-
er's Light & Heat Co. and the city
water department. has met with little
favor from officials of the two utlll-
ties companies.
Stanfield proposed that the meters
of all three organizations be read by
one man. He believed that a saving
in time, energy and money would re-
suit.
In the opinion of A. H. Purdy. of
The Topeka Edison Co, the idea is
one of the things that look good on
casual inspection but which closer
attention to details discloses numerous
disa dvantages and difficulties
L. G. Treleaven, of the Consumers
Light & Heat Co.. chara cterized the
proposition as being one in which the
disa dvantages greatly offset the ad-
vantages. He stated that the meter
reading cost was one of their lowest
expenses and that they could not pos
sibly save enough to make it worth
while.
Both utilities officials greatly dis
favor the idea of having employees that
are really not working directly for
them. Men can not work for three
bosses, and the three organizations
with totally different systems would
not be satisfied in all probability and
would have no redress, they believe.
Stanfield put the proposition in a
tentative way to learn the feasibility
of the proposition. With so many diff
ficulties apparent at the outset the
project will be dropped.

to 40, with a greater raise from 40 to

in the rate, which was made retroac-
