The Main
Works

Neither the loss on the insurance
bet, nor compensation, represents
the total bill of the war for. personal
service over and above regular pay
and maintenance. There are besides
allowances for the support of SOL
diers' families during the war, the
cost Of medical, surgical and hospital
treatment, funeral charges and the
cost of the administration of the
vocational rehabilitation act, where
by disabled soldiers are trained and
educated at government expense and
are on the government payroll while
being rehabilitated.
The stupendous tasks Of financing
all these services were intrusted to
the War Risk Bureau. 1t was in
administering them with all their
complications that the new bureau
got into such tangle of confusion
of correspondence, records and book
keeping that it has become the most
unpopular and most widely abused
bureau of the government. There is
scarcely soldiers family in the
land that has not some grievance
against it, and the average citizen
is convinced that it never will get
its vast and complex affairs straight
ened out. One of the unfortunate
results Of this period of ineficiency
is that many soldiers have become
so disguised that they will drop their
government insurance and will not
take advantage of the opportunity
to convert it into permanent life
insurance.
However, Colonel Henry D. Linds

Lady Lobby in Legislature Is
Shedding Bitter Tears.
Age of Majority Bill Slipped by
Mrs. Grinstead.
BAD ENOUGH FOR IT TO PASS
But When Only Legislator Of
Sex ApprOyed-HOrrOrs!
Her Committee Favored 1t
Without a Whimper.

1t was the lady member of the state
legislature who let the age of ma
jority slip thru the house. And today
the lady lawmaker and the members
Of the ladies' lobby are far from being
on intimate terms. Passage of the
Terrell bill was the biggest jolt given
the women of Kansas in the present
legislative session. But the chagrin
and humiliation which comes with the
realization that the first lady legisla-
tor permitted the passage of the
bill--in fact, recommended it from
her committees almost uncomfortable,
the women declare.
Since it was first discovered that the
Terrell bill had passed both legislative
bodies and had been signed by the
governor, members of the ladies' lobby
have been busily checking the respon-
Sibility. Probably no. greater shock
could have come to the women than to
learn that the bill actually slipped
right thru TIVE committee of which the
member of their own sex is chairman
And the bill was recommended for
passage without a dissenting vote
not even a wee, timid wall of protest
from the lady from Seward.
Busy Lady Lobby.
The ladies' lobby never misses
session of the legislature. 1t watches
the introduction of bills in the senate
and in the house. These women listen
to the debates, study the committee
reports and scan the proposed new
laws with an eye for jokers-especially
jokers that cripple or impair the rights
of women in Kansas. Somehow, tho,
the Terrell bill slipped into the senate
hopper. went to the committee, was
recommended and passed without one
woman realizing what had happened.
OF all measures which the women
did not want-with the possible ex-
ception of repeal of the suffrage
amendment-the Terrell bill was it.
Under this bill the age of majority
is conferred on all married women
when they attain the age of IS years.
Only two years ago the women had
fought through bill to make the age
of majority 81 years.
A Sad, Sad Case.
In the search of the legislative
records which tell the history of the
| Terrell bill, the women's lobby en-
| countered some sad, sad facts. They
| found that in the house the bill had
| been referred to the committee on
| public welfare. That is the prize up
| lift committee of the legislature. It
has to deal with affairs concerning
demon rum, .cigarets, vile habits, the
| poor working goil' and the cause of
women in general. In recognition of
| the first woman legislator in Kansas,
| Speaker Lambertson had placed the
| lady from Seward at the head Of the
| committee.
Now the women who are watching
| the. legislature for the club and well
| fare organiZation are shedding hot
| burning tears. They are angered be-
cause the Terrell bill was Slipped
over on them. They might forget all
| this. But the humiliation and sorrow
| which goes with the realization that
| their one, first and only lady law
| maker recommended the bill from her
| own committee is something more
| than these women can bear.

$50 BARRELS A DAY
Elmhurst Well on GilIett, Near Pea
body, Is q Good One

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 27-Elmhurst
Investment company, of Topeka, on
the Gillett in 1O-22-2, Marion county,
was reported last night as holding up
at around $50 barrels daily, which is
said to be all that the pump will carry.
1t is now the belief of the scouts that
oil in large quantities lies north, or
that the pool upon which the Elm
hurst and the National wells are To-
Gated. connects with the Elbing, ac-
cording to the statement of an oil
scout yesterday. With the Carter and
the Tidal on Mosslander coming in
dry. and the new locations of the big
companies being made to the north
east, running to the Kan-O-Tex near
Hampson, it is natural to surmise that
this is the big field, said the scout.
Since the Gillet came in many of
the scouts and oil men are watching
the Kan-O-Tex on the Joliffe in
6-22-5. If this well shows signs of
production it will prove up the field
between itself and the Gillett, and may
go long way toward esta blishing the
existence of a big pool to the south
and west of Florence.

FIG HTS.
A slow comical preliminary.

A slow comical preliminary, a
smuggling Knockout semi-fnal
and a whirlwind main event was
the boxing card at the Lyric
Theatre last night, which drew
a crowded house.
In the main event Ralph Lin

Bobby Burns after ten slashing
rounds of fighting County At

John B. Wright, of Tucson, were
selected as judges. At the fin
ish of the tenth round the judges

Harold Brown raised Ralph's

the decision. Many of the
spectators were of fthe. opinion
that it was a hairlsne decision
and that it should have been de-
clared a draw. Honors were
pretty even taken round for

to have baen over a longer route
than ten rounds. Both boys
were strong at the finish. Il
was a good fight.
In the semi-fnal Garrett won
via the knockout route in the
third round, although it was
probably a case of which fell
from exhaustion first as neither
had done any amount of train
ing and their appearance showed
that they were not in condition
for such heavy work. The first
and second rounds were Ra-
phaal's by a big margin as he
carried the fighting to Garrett
and practically fought him off
his feet.
The preliminary was a slow
amusing affair and at the con-
clusion of the fourth round when
the decision was given Battling

dience was loud in it's disap-

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. =
The difficulty between Germany
and Poland over Silesia, is onn
of long standing, and a number
of European wars in former
centuries were over the status
of that province. In the Tenth
Century it was Incorporated
with Poland, and it is a revival
of that ancient sovereignty that
Poland is claiming now. In the
latter part of the Thirteenth
century it was made a separate
duchy. Then the duchy was at
tached to the kingdom of Bo-
hemia. Then for a time the
Silesians appealed applied for
Polish protection against Bo-
hemia. But in the Fourteenth
century Bohemian domination
was established undisputed
Then in the Sixteenth century II
was attached to Austria. After
that Prussia succeeded in wrest-
ing a part of Silesia from Aus
tria; and those two nations
fought three wars over the un-
fortunate country. In the end
Silasia was divided. 1t is Ger,
