She joined the Salvation Army as a
volunteer maker and distributor of the

In her talk this noon Miss Porter
explained the why of the doughnut-

She asserted that the soldiers in
France had little sugar given to them.
She also said that Nthe Salvation Army
recognized the fact which every moth
er knows. that a man must have
certain amount OF sugar If his dispost-
ton is foSremain sweet. Therefor the
doughnut girls crammed as much SUI
gar into their doughnut dough as the
cough would hold. fried them in good

be made to stick.
Miss Porter will make talks in all
of the Topeka thea:ers this evening.

meetings-one at Silver Lake at s
o'clock in the evening and one at ten

CALENDARS MADE
UNNECESSARY IN
PLAN OF OHIOAN

Printed calendars would be a
thing of the past if the perpetual
calendar were adopted" said c. B.
Braustein, a well known Cincfn-
natl man, who has a plan for sim
plifying dates.
Let the year be divided into 13
months of % days each. This would
make 1854 days. AS there are 1854
days in a year, the odd day could be
placed anywhere in the calendar
and be as Universal Thanksgiving
Day. The other extra day would
come every fourth year and could
be placed after the last day in leap
year and be known as o Day. Leap
Year Day or Gala Day
Under this plan Monday would
always come on the LIST, Sth, 18th
and 22nd days of the month; Tues
day on the End, 9th, 18th, 23rd;
Wednesday on the Bird, 10th, 18th,

Short 1900 Tons.
Rock Island and Moline are
10000 tons short of the normal
consumption" F. H. Rockwell of
the Rockwell Ice & Fuel company
said today. That means we have
to ship the product in. We hope
to get 100 cars of ice from an ar
tificial plant in Peoria and another
100 cars of natural ice from the
north. If we do that we will have
about 10000 tons. That will place
US in a position where we will not
have to worry much. The ice from
Spirit Lake, Iowa, which was ship
ped in to the Union Coal & Ice
company houses on Rock river is
for the Rock Island railroad. In
fixing the price we have tried to
split with the consumer. 1t will
cost us $3.50 ton to ship the ice
in and there will be a heavy
shrinkage."

day, are similar to those in Rock

the first peep of dawn this
morning police and sherifTs

Earl Morrison, aged 2I, and
John Mills, aged 10, federal
prisoners who escaped from a
Burlington train here early last

shooting up the coach with the
revolver taken from Wertz. No
trace of the boys who were be-
ing taken to Pontiac refOrma-
tory and who are handcuffed
together, had been heard up to
S O'Clock.
Morrison and Mills still have
Wertz's revolver and from one
to three rounds of ammunition.
Police are expecting them to
put up a fight. All night long
the officers surrounded the
woods near the railroad yards
at BartOnViIle, just south of
here, where the boys made their
escape. With the coming Of
dawn the posses began closing
in and the capture of the
youthful pair of bandits was
