The Greyhound.

good producer for It's owners. It was necessary to have dog that could run fast to capture animals for food, when weapons were in their infancy. There was no scale of points nor any typical lines on which this dog was bred. As a matter of fact utility was the foundation of all the great breeds of greyhounds. A wide-chested straight-sh slack-loined. poor Quartered dog Is unable to run fast and a dog that had those faults could not do what the greyhound does. And that is the reason why some form of greyhound can be traced back as far as we have any dog history.

Runor,

The character of that sort of infor- nation that is generally known as news is changing with vertiginous rap idity. Once news was generally sup posed to be a narration of something that had happened or was possibly gO- ing to happen, with. of course, due al lowances for errors and mistaken judgments. Now, however, news seems to be made up of reporting what somebody alleges might have happened. Rumor, of itself. has a news value. The fact that a rumor ex- isted is sufficient of itself, aside from the truth or falsity of the rumor, its probability or its possibility.

DID NOT INVENT TELESCOPE
But Calico Was the First to Perceive Its Possibilities in the Study of
 Astronomy.

The name of the man who first framed and used a telescope for the observation of the heavenly bodies Is Calico Galilei, though little known In that form. It was this scientist, who died January 8, 1642, who, it may be said, first gave stability and force to the theory which places the sun in the center of the planetary system. In April or May, 1909, Calico heard at Venice of little tubular instrument made by Hans Libbershey of Middle burg, which made distant objects ap- pear nearer,' and he immediately ap- piled himself to experimentation on the means by which such an instrument could be produced. Procuring couple of spectacle glasses, each plain on one side, but one convex and the second cOncave on the other side, and apply ing his eye to the concave glass. he found that objects were magnified three times, and brought apparently nearer. Soon after having made one which could magnify 930 times, Cali leo commenced observations on the sur face of the moon, which he discovered to be irregular, like that of the earth, and on Jupiter, which, in 1910, he as certained to be attended by four stars. as he called them, which after ward proved to be it's satellites.

Much Sameness in Mankind.

Console yourself, dear old man and brother; whatever you may be sure of, be sure at least of this, that you are dreadfuliy like other people. Human nature has much greater genius for sameness than for riginality.-Lowell.

In his address this afternoon Doctor
Mason pointed out three fundamental
processes in the maintenance of So
ciety. The first he described as the
dignity of law. declaring that a due
respect for law and government is
essential to every community. The
second he explained as the dignity of
work, making the assertion that the
duty of men is not to seek five-hour
days or shirk duties, but to hunt con-
slant employment and give it the best
that is in them. The dignity of man
hood he named as the third funda-
mental principle.
Altho the afternoon session was well
attended it was evident that many
more social workers would be here
for tomorrow's program. Delegates
were arriving in the city all day.
The session tomorrow morning will
relate to children. At noon luncheon
will be served in the First Methodist
church with Dean e. W. Blackmar, of
Kansas university, as POSTMASTER.
The afternoon session will be devoted

filing of quo warranto proceedings by
Attorney General Hopkins. The gov
ernor directed this action.
Almost Immediately following the
appointment of receivers
ing operators. miners and consumers
the governor left for Pittsburg and
mining camps in the Cfawford-Chero-
kee county fields. He will personally
appeal to the miners to return to work.
Under the governors plan, the mine
workers would be in the employ OF
the state during the receivership. They
would be paid on the basis of the scale
in existence at the time the men We're
called out. Any readjustment of tie
scale by the Washington conference,
tho, would be made retroactive.
Receivers were appointed by the
court on recommendation Of the gov
ernor. They include: Mayor Clarence
d. Sample, Fort Scott, representing
the public: Willard Titus, Girard, for
the coal miners, and c. F. Spencer
PIttsburg, for the operators. Titus is

Doctor Scholle has been a practic-
ing physician in Topeka for a mum Der
of years. But the insurance business
was not exactly Il new venture TO him.
He had several years of experience in
the home office medical departments
of several eastern companies prior to
coming to Topeka. His acquaintance
among the officers of insurance COM
panies in the middle west and east has
been helpful to him in the business he
chose to help build.
: IAN attractive disposition and ami
able broadmindedness have made him
very popular as medical director
among the field men, who usually feel
that the medical director is the only
one between them and success" the
field bulletin says. But this physician
can turn them down on an unfit pros
pect and still retain their entire friend

properties valued at fifty million dol
lars are placed in charge of tine re
ceiyers.
That action may be taken by the
operators to set aside the supreme
court order was indicated in state
ments by mine heads. Recently Gov
ernor Allen had been advised the
mines would be turned over to the
state provided assurances were mace
that the properties would be protected
and safeguarded and that all expense
would be met by the state. They rear
that the order in the present case does
not afford ample protection.
A delegation of Kansas City coal
operators met the governor when he
stopped in Kansas City, Monday night.
The governor, however refused TO SET
aside the existing order or to in any
manner interfere with the receiver
ship.
1t is probable Governor Allen will
spend several days among the miners.
He will make a number OF personal
appeals to the workers to meet de-
mands of the public for coal and to
work for the state in the crisis. HIS
appeal to the mine workers VIII be
concluded at monster meeting in
Pittsburg Jake Shepherd of Fort
Scott, attorney for the miners and
warm personal friend of Alexander
Howat has approved the governors
plan of state operation. He will ac-
company Governor Allen on his trip
thru the Crawford Cherokee Eelds.
The court order affects mines in
Cherokee and Crawford counties only.
Nearly 10000 miners are now idle In
that district. No action has been taken
as affecting Leavenworth and Usage
county mines. An order governing the
smaller mines of these counties may
come later state officials believe.
Again, the state may seek to eoncen-
trate mining labor in the larger field
and to ignore the Leavenworth-O Usage
districts during the strike.
Operators have not attempted the
operation Of their mines during the
strike. In a petition before the su-
preme court, the state urged that the
miners had thus entered into an agree
ment and combination in restraint of
trade and in violation of the antitrust
law.
