Handicap.

These ere the days when the eff
cheney expert is inviting us to prove
that we measure up to the average in
human intelligence by answering GER
tain complicated questions in a given
number of seconds. Here is one you
can try on yourself when nobody is
around. Time yourself and when you
have solved 1t go and try it on some
body else, not forgetting to remind
him that you did it In three seconds
and that three seconds is the time
limit.
Outline square on paper and then
divide 1t into ten trlangles each Of
which is equal to- one ninth of the
total sum or area represented by the
other nine triangles.
Three seconds is the limit, so go to
1t. OF course, If you are timing your
self, you need not be too particular
A few seconds or minutes over will
not make much difference beyond, in n
few isolated cases, confirming or shat
tering ones own private opinion of
oneself.

Endurance.

Though nation may be bought and
sold, deceived or betrayed, oppressed
or beggared, and In every other sense
undone, all is not lost if sense of
national honor survives the general
ruin. Even an individual cannot be
crushed by events or overwhelmed by
adversely II, in the wreck and ruin of
his fortune, the character of the man
remains unblemished. That force is
elastic, and, with the help of resolu-
ton, will raise him again out of any
depth Of calamity. But If the injured
sufferer, whether it be a great or a
little community, number of individ-
uals or a single person, be content to
submit in silence, and to endure with
out resentment-if no complaints shall
be uttered, no murmur shall be heard,
deploratum est-there must be some
thing celestial in the spirit that rises
from that descent.-Junius.

No ChIoroform Nausea.

Chloroform administered through a
tube is said to dispense with the fau-
sea which is almost invariably en-
countered otherwise. The new prac-
tice was inaugurated by French prac-
utloner, Doctor Gulsez. The nausea
is caused by part Of the chlorO-
form vapors being absorbed by the
esophagus and the stomach. Doctor
Guisez introduced the chloroform va
pors directly into the windpipe. The
tube method already has been en-
ployed in several hundred cases, and
with great success. 1t is particularly
useful for operations to be performed
on the head and neck.

MAY REFUSE IT?
Topeka Santa Fe Men Discuss
Presidents Offer.
Many Are Confused Over s and
1O-HOur Proposal.

President Wilson's offer of four
cents an hour increase in the wages
of railway shopmen is the principal
topic of discussion today among the
Santa Fe men of Topeka. While no
official statement has been made by
representative men, indications are
that the offer may be refused.
This, however, is theoretical. A
close study of the presidents offer.
union officials say. may reveal clauses
that will be satisfactory to the shop
men. There seems to be some doubt
as to the exact meaning of the 10-hour
basis of pay for an S-hour day, and
If this may be interpreted satisfactor-
lily, 1t might mean a settlement of the
controversy.
Above all. however, the local union
officials seem to believe as strongly as
ever that the difficulty will be settled
without a strike. The men at the
head of the railroad administration
and the heads of the union, they point
out, are broad minded and fully real
ize what a cessation of railroad work
would mean to the nation.

script Editions From Sky.

Late this evening Lieutenant Web
ber and w. T. Comstock of Topeka
leave in Webber's big Curtiss biplane
for Eskridge. where flying dates will
be kept tomorrow. On their way to
Eskridge the postscript editions of The
State Journal will be dropped at Do
yer, fifteen miles southwest as the
crow flies, and also this edition will be
delivered to Eskridge.
The State Journal was the first
Kansas newspaper to point out the
possibilities of the future by delivering
newspapers thru the air: Papers have
been sent to Eskridge, Baldwin. Hol-
ton and Emmett. Lieutenant Weber
had the honor of making the first air
flight with The State Journal.
Previous deliveries have been made
where a landing was accomplished in
the town. In dropping papers at Do
yer this evening the real system OF de-
llvering papers will be exhibited.
Last week two extra editions of The
State Journal were issued two even
ings for delivery to Horton by air but
engine trouble developed and the
flight was not completed.

Washington. Aug. 26.-Retan stores
for the sale of household commodities
included in the surplus stocks of the
war department will be established
September 25, it was announced today.
The stores will be located in depot
centers and other large cities and they
will accept and fill mail orders.
Continued purchase by the depart

these stores may be continued indeff-
nitely as part of the government cam
paign against the high cost of living is
understood to be under consideration.
Make Prices Fair.
Prices on all commodities offered
for sale will be so fixed as to prevent
discrimination between the purchasers
who buy over the counter and those
who purchase thru mail.
All mail orders will be delivered by
parcel post, but the policy of making
these sales thru the postoffice depart
ment is to be discontinued All such
orders will go directly to the stores.
To expedite the mail order sales, the
postoffice department has been asked
to establish sub-stations in each store.
Catalogues quoting prices and giving
inc lOCdLlOn OF all stores are being pre-
pared and will be available at every
postoffice in the United States. The
present plan is to open stores in the
fourteen zone supply cities, Boston,
New York, Philadelphia; Baltimore,
Atlanta, Jeffersonville, Chicago, st.
Louis, New Orleans. San Antonio.
Omaha, FL Paso, San Francisco and
Washington. The chain win be ex-
tended to additional cities as rapidly
as possible.
What VIII Be Sold.
Huge quantities of socks, under
wear, shirts, raincoats, blankets,
gloves tobacco, soap, and other arti-
cles will be sold at the stores.
The new plan for disposition of
army surplus is even broader than
the plan by which surplus food was
sold thru the parcel post.
Under this plan orders were handed
to postmasters who sent them to zone
supply offices and distributed them to
consumers
Under the new plan the postmasters
will be eliminated and consumers will
order by mail or buy from the army
direct.
