The Legislature Adjourns.

Final adjournment of the legislature
was reached about ten O'Clock Friday
night, after session of fourteen weeks,
which, as usual, was "short" only in Its
early days.
In number of measures passed this
legislature was less prolific than some
others, nor were there many new laws
of great importance passed.
Several proposed amendments to the
constitution were submitted to the peo-
pie by the legislature. The most impor-
tsnt Of these is that raising the limit Of
amount of bonds which may be issued
for highway building to ten million dol.
lars. A large amount of federal aid
money will be available for highway
construction if the state matches it dol.
lar for dollar, and the bond issue If the
amendment is adopted will permit of q
really extensive plan of road building.
A special election to vote on the consti-
tutional amendments will be held in
September of this year.
OF the new laws passed, doubtless the
one comforting the presidential suffrage
on women is of the most widespread
interest. The wOrkmen's compensation
law was extensively amended and its
conditions liberalized. Nearly dozen
bills were introduced affecting this mat
ter, and the one finally passed was one
made up by the joint committees on
judiciary and labor, which was in sense
a compromise.
A few of the other most important
measures passed were the resident hunt
ers' registration law, the creation OF a
board of examination for osteopsths,
and that providing for draft when
necessary to maintain the national guard
st peace standard.
o. the measures which failed, two Of
the most conspicuous were those provid-
ing for the distribution Of state school
funds on the basis Of aggregate attend
ance instead of the present method, and
the forty eight hour bill, establishing a
working week Of that length for women
and minors. Both of these measures
were passed by the house but were
defeated in the senate.
The much-contested lobster bill, which
in effect reduced the legal length OF
Holsters from ten and one-hslf 10 nine
inches, got through both houses but on
the last day of the session went up
against warning of a veto by the gov
ernOr, and in tue attempt to get Ii into a
form which would be acceptable, ii died.
The Porter school house resolve, sp-
propriating $4,000 to aid in erecting q
high school building at Porter, was
vetoed by the governor as establishing q
troublesome precedent. In the senate
the veto was sustained.
Fourteen veto messages were sent by
Governor Milliken 10 the Legislature dur
ing the session, and notice of his dissp-
proval in other cases led to the modifics-
ton of measures to meet bis ideas. or
the fourteen vetoes, three were OF meas
uces passed by the preceding legislature,
and sustaining them was practically q
mere matter of form. OF the other
eleven measures, two were passed over
the veto, and in the other cases the veto
was sustained.
Oxford Democrat., 1919-04-08

A correction is necessary of the state
ment made in last weeks Democrat con-
cerning the special resolve fsvorably
reported for the repair and improvement
of the road at Stowell Hill In Paris.
The resolve carries an appropriation by
the state of $1,000, provided the town
raises $1,000 in addition, ins'e Of $500
as was stated. The statement given last
week was written before the printed
resolve had appeared.
Opponents of the resident hunters
registration bill, which bad gone to its
f1nal stage as far as the legislature was
concerned, were not entirely satisfied
with the history and status of the bill,
and IL was held up on it's passage to be
enacted in the house, with call for a
vote by yeas and nays. It had previous
ly been passed by the house without q
record vote, call for the yeas and nays
having been overlooked. On Wednes-
day there was a roll call in the house,
and that body went on record by passing
the bill S5 to so.
Tuesday and Wednesday were lobster
days. On Tuesday the state house peo-
pie lunched-or rather gormandized-on
Holsters, on the upper floor Of the state
house. On Wednesday the house passed
bill reducing the legal length of lob
sters from 10 l-2 to Q inches. The lob
ster takes the place Of the herring this
year as the headliner in the fisheries
show, and the debate was interesting
not only to the members from along
shore, but as we'll to the lsndlubbers,
who haven't eaten q pound OF lobster In
months till they got to the legislature.

self by Carrying Paper Route.
WATSON LOANED HIM S225
He Is Brother of Proprietor OF
the Baltimore Hotel.
Is Now One of Big Land Owners
of Pacific Coast.

A number of years ago when w. H.
WATSON loaned a young Greek boy
~$225 with which to buy a State jour
nal route little did he realize that he
was starting the young emigrant from
Greece on the highway to fortune: a
financial success and achievement not
attained by WATSON himself.
The Chumos brothers, Constantine
and James, came to Topeka at about
the same time w. H. WATSON, now
commissioner of finance, arrived in
Topeka. Con Chumos now owns
and operates the Baltimore hotel
across from the Union Pacific station.
The brothers landed in New York after
leaving Greece and finally wound up
in Topeka with $24 in cash between
them and no particular reason for be-
ing here.
They split their capital fifty-fift
and after working at various jobs and
operating a stand on the street, Con"
opened up a candy, fruit and news
store in little wooden shack on the
lot south of the one now occupied by
the State journal building.
''Seven Men Ahead of Nc,
James Chumos, however, had a
vision. He wished an education. One
day while in the store WATSON was
talking with James who kept repeat
ing the mysterious slogan, There are
seven ahead of me-, WATSON re-
tanned his curiosity as long as possible
and then asked what this There are
seven ahead of me" could possibly
mean.
1t was a State Journal paper route.
But seven other men were after it.
James was broke. He had not done
as much with his original $12 as had
Con"
The woman who owned the route,
however was going to give Jim a
chance to raise the money but he
knew no way of doing it. 1t was here
that WATSON came forward with a
largeness of heart and strained his
pocket book to raise the required
ness. On the Journal route provided
by WATSON he practically put himself
thru Washburn college assisted by his
knowledge of Greek which he put to
a practical use in Greek classes.
Now Worth 100000.
Later there came a Mrs. Fowler,
the wife of a famous phrenologist.
She was a lecturer. She became in
terested in the welfare of the young
Greek boy and took him with her on
her 1ecturing tours as a clerk. All
went we'll until love touched them
regardless of the difference in their
ages and they decided to unite their
interests Ia marriage.
Later they went out to Washington
and Oregon where they engaged in
land operations that finally placed
pie of the state. WATSON heard from
Jim only few days ago from Sc
attic. 1t is reported that he is now
worth close to 100000.

The New Health Ideal.

"a new ideal is actuating public
health work today" says DR.. w. S.
Rankin, in q reprint from the jour
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton. entitled 1.-The New Public
Health" This new force, according
to Doctor Rankin, is vital quality,
which makes health work have for its
object more than keeping people out
on earth. 1t is qualitative, making for
greater human efficiency and better
quality of being, rather than fighting
diseases in order to reduce the death
rate. 1t encourages love OF health,
a desire for bodily endurance, eff
cheney and achievement rather than
fear of illness or the horror of death.
In short, it seeks health for the hap
piness, contentment and moral gain
that it brings rather than the miseries
that follow sooner or later in the wake
of ill-health.
with the old ideal of vital guam
tity," says Doctor Rankin, those dis
eases that have large mortalities and
high degrees of preventability have
tended to absorb our thought and
energy. With the new ideal we shall
be more mindful of those diseases that
play havoc with vital quality: Hook
worm Infection; parasites; malarial
infection; suppurating gums; chronic
constipation; grumbling gallstones;
nagging piles; improperly balanced ra-

tax, gradually increased over long
years, take from a careless people a
total of efficiency, of vital quality, of
life, that. could we but compare it

and the children of Shawnee county
have been invited to take part and
they are showing great interest in the
competition.
The object of the state association.
is to teach that tuberculosis is pre-

state and local associations: to supply
educational nurses: to assist the Red
Cross; promote public health educa-.
ton and fresh air living.
Show Work to Legislature.
The school children by the prepara-

Later this exhibit may be sent over

Owing to the closing of the schools
on account of the influenza epidemic
the state association decided that IL
would be better at this time for the

association to try and carry on the
