issued today inviting all elements of
radicals to unite under the banner of

committee to confer with the new po-
litical party to ascertain IL the two
factions might unite in one body.
Detectives, Be Seated.
A split in the ranks of the ultra
radical communists has developed

A Few Red Dittlcs.
The delegates sand social revolu-

was THE Gene Debs Gang" of which
the words of the refrain are:
GLORIOUS, glorious. wen make the Boil
Hail to the piutes, they are making more

While Gene lies in prison for US ALL"
Another song ran:
"All who right and justice seek
Burst your bonds, no longer weak,
Unite and join the Bolshevik,
Rise, rise, rise"
The delegates closed their singing
by giving the new party's yell;
''Roishevik, Bolshecik. Boisherik, bank,

Then 1t Became Very, Very Cold
on Kansas Avenue.

Three men and two girls-evidently
from out of town-stood on Kansas
avenue this morning watching the
crowd and commenting.
At once all of them conferred their
attention on something. A girl was
approaching. She wore one of the
new emotional sweaters. That is they

cases. This was enc of those. The
girl was properly equipped TO show off
the sweater 10 It's best advantage. The
three men fell in at attention to watch
her undulate by. She did, too--ail of
that.
She passed by. The men did an
about face much to the evident dis
pleasure OF the girls with them. "Oh.

They followed for about two blocks,

followed the lower ebbed their nerve,
but the higher rose their spirits
Finally, after about three blocks
one brave Romeo got away on his
right foot They were quite close. He

Shawnee, Okla.
Smith was foreman of the printing
plant at the barracks where govern

printed and carried out by men whose
term of service had expired. Smith
held this position from July 1, 1917,
until February %. 1919, on which date
he was discharged. He was picked up

Topeka Women May Establish
Market Bureau.
Would Give Information on
Cost of Necessities.
MRS. MULVANE HAS A PLAN
She Says Housewives Should
Do More Marketing.
Membership of 1000 Is Goal of
Organization.

Topeka women may establish a CEN
trail information and marketing bu-
reau in their campaign on the high
cost of living. Plans for the organiza-
ton were discussed today at the state
house. The plan calls for an organi-
zation of 1000 Topeka housewives
who would secure price lists and
market dope thru a central bureau.
Housewives would pay 20 to 80 cents
a month for the service.
Under the central organization plan
a paid secretary would investigate
selling prices at Topeka stores. An
information clerk would convey this
information to members OF the organ
ization. All members would be
pledged to conservative buying and
careful shopping with a view of OBJ
tanning the lowest prices.
Must Market More.
81 really. believe one big trouble
with the present high cost of living
is the failure of housewives to mar
ket," Mrs. D. w. Mulvane told Clyde
NJ. Reed. private secretary to Governor
Allen. TOO many women merely ask
for what they want and never stop to
inquire about the price. The tempta-
ton to take advantage of the situa-
ton Is too much for many merchants"
The plan which is now being per-
fected would call for the employment
OF a trained woman TO gather prices
on all commodities. An assistant
would answer telephone calls and d.
rect the shoppers who are members
of the housewives organization. In
order to meet necessary expenses,
each member would pay a nominal
monthly fee. 1t is the belief of Sec
rotary Reed. who proposed the plan,
that many times the monthly dues
would be saved by housewives thru
the information bureau. Reed be-
