Of the inspector replied, he isn't an
old soldier and we won't pay for his

IT don't know just what we can
do" Harrison said mournfully. 1T is
just one blamed row after another out
there. We no sooner get one brand
of trouble ironed out until a half doz-
en- new brands break out in unexpect-
ed spots.
THE board of managers has no po-
lice power. We can't pick Hill up and
set him bodily out by the roadside. We
may cut off his rations But we can't
put him out He is in and apparently
he is very happy. 1 don't want to de-
stroy his happiness or disturb his
dream But the government says he
isn't an old soldier, won't grant an al
lowance for him and 1 want to find
some one who can help us out of this
muddle."

Col. ]. w. Harrison ot the state
board of managers of tbs, soldiers

method whereby he may GUST Sylves-

Harrison today appealed to the at

Hill is a member of the local Lin

an inmate of the state home which is
maintained at state and government
expense for the care of old soldiers.
Now the government contends that
Hill isn't an old soldier, was never in
the Civil war and isn't entitled to fed
eral aid. They state may gut off Hill S
rations at the commissary. But it has
no police powers as far as the author

wants the attorney generals office to

a new Y. W. c. A. home for girls

Purchase OF the Eagles club house at

mated today when a deed for the
property was transferred by the lodge

ing girls. For many months the Y. w.
G. ~ building at Seventh and Van
Buren, streets has been inadequate to
supply sufficient rooms for working
girls and it has been necessary to send
them to other rooming houses in the
neighborhood.
During the summer months the
shortage Of rooms was overcome to a
certain extent by leasing the Lakin
home at Second street and Western
avenue. The lease on this home has
expired.
There will be twenty bedrooms in
the new home for girls. Certain SAL
airy and age marital restrictions i'm
posed at the main building will be
abolished at the new home. Only
girls on small salaries and unmar-
ried have been given permanent rooms
at the Y. W. c. A. at Seventh and Van
Buren, streets. Temporarily, at least,
married women and women COM
handing large salaries will be sup
piled with rooms at the home recently
purchased. There will be just one big
living room. The remainder of the
space will be used for bedrooms.
The house purchased by the Y w.
c. A. has served as the club house
of Top Aerie No. So, Fraternal Order
OF Eagles for fourteen years. The
local order will either build or rent
other quarters according to B. F.
Holtwick, secretary. A meeting of the
lodge members will be held Monday

initely on the future home of the
order. The Eagle club house was

ALL CORSETS FAULT
Double Chins and Fat Legs Grow Like

NV York, Sept 2O.-Double chins
and fat legs-like the long green grass
growing around an obstruction in the
meadow-merely are growths that
naturally would thrive elsewhere if 1t
were not for tight corsets.
The international Conference of
Women Physicians came to that con-
clusion in adopting a resolution alb

women. and indorsing them only as "a
corrective measure" for older women

PLOTEST TO THE SOUTH
Nick Chiles Condemns Recent Attack
on ShiIlady.

on ShiIIady.
Asking If the recent assault on ].
R. Shillady, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People was the sentiment of
the officials of Travis county, Texas,
Nick Chiles, editor of the Plaindealer,
Topeka, has written letter to Cover
nor Hobby, of Austin, Texas.
Chiles condemns these men as out
laws. They are no more and no bet
ter than men who lynch, burn or rob
banks, he says, and have taken adj
vantage of popular opinion in the
south against progressive colored peo-
pie who stand up for manhood and
of the southern white man, equal
rights before the law.
Chiles says: ANY white man who
stands for colored progressiveness like
Shillady, will become unpopular and
subject to all the outrages and indig-
mites that southern white men heap
upon the colored race"
After stating that the policy of the
organization is to raise degraded
white men, such as those who attack
Shillady to a plane where they may
follow in the footsteps of the Savior.
Chiles asks the question, do you be-
lieve that the colored people of Amer
lea are entitled to all the rights and
benefits under the law as a white man
and do you not note, it is a fact that
the lowest white man is more re-
spected in Texas and accorded more
privileges and rights than the very
best colored MANI"
Chiles infers that southern people
cannot expect that the negro will
stand for this treatment without re-
senting it. Everybody, black and
white, must obey and respect the same
laws, he says. IF the white man can
do lawless things and nothing is done
about it, why cannot colored men do
the same things?"
The colored man could have way
laid and assassinated the class Of
white men he suspected of outraging
his women the same as white men
did. says Chiles.
which much of the serious trouble in
the south arises, Chiles says: You
know it is a fact in Texas and all over
| the South, white men are cohabiting
with colored women and raising fam
lilies and nothing is being said about
it, but if a colored man looks cross
| eyed at a white woman your people
are ready to lynch and burn him. You
know that the race is being mixed so
much in the south that you can hard
| ly distinguish one from the other.
The mixed colored people are going
4 north, marrying in the white race and
their children are returning south and
marrying into the white race, so you
see the southern white man is reap
| ing what he sows, and we fully believe
there are thousands of white people
! in the south with colored blood cours-
ing their veins and don't know it. at
! the same time they are cursing and
l'abusing the colored people and draw
| ing the color line"

PROBLEM PLAY
At THE STRAND
Are You Legally Married.
Today

The photoplay now being u
Thursday, Friday, Saturday at the
Strand theatre under the above title
is one of the most enlightening that
has ever been shown on a local
screen, exposing as it does the chaotic
and ridiculous condition of h mari
tai laws of the different states. The
story is based on facts brought about
by two years of careful research on
the part of Miles Dobson, B. A. into
the marital and divorce laws in force
throughout the United States.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, at Washington, D. c., a
handed a decision that makes biga-
mists of hundreds of thousands OF
men and women who thing themselves
lawfully married; it puts the stigma
of illegitimacy on more than half a
million children, and confuses prop
erty interests that many persons are
in possession of property for which
they have paid and to which they have
no legal title.
This decision is handed down in the
case of Haddock VS.. Haddock, and
is upheld by the Supreme Courts of
all of the several states who ave tried
such cases.
Does it affect you, you will ask ?
Unless you are better posted thar
s~eventy-hve per cent. of the lawyers,
you may not know or nave nedro Vi
this decision. and it may be the cause
of our children losing the right to
the name of their father and theiI

Billy Deering loves Helen Rogersi
and his proposal of marriage gains
her willing acceptance. He boldly
asks Gordon Rogers, railroad mag-r
nate and fnancier for the hand of his
daughter.
He is surprised at Rogers cool re-
buff. but doesn't give up and asks his
reason. They argue the matter for a
while and Rogers finally agrees that
if Billy ear work for three months
time without being once fired for in
competence, that he shall have the
girl.
Billy applies to an orchestra lead
er who wants a xylophone player and
gets the job. Then Mrs. O~gelthorpe
of the smart set, gives a dance and
the orchestra of which Billy is a MEM
Der, furnishes the music. OF course,
Helen is there and soon recognizes
Billy. Helen pleads with Billy TO stop
being foolish and come on out and
dance. She can't understand his re-
fusal and he can't enlighten her. She
vows that she will never see him
again. This delights Tom, Bnly's rival
who has been wooing Helen with an
ardent determination since Billy's de
parture.
Billy's mind is now in no state to
| play a xylophone, and while reaching
for a high c. he accidentally cracks
the bald fiddler on the head with his
little mallet. The next day, fearing he
will be fired for this offense, he alb
ruptly resigns, and again goes III
seeking employment.
Billy passes a Bohemian cafe
known as Capellano's Restaurant, sees
a sign, Man Wanted" goes in n
gets the job, which consists of his
donning a suit of armor and standing
at the head of the steps like a sentinel
of old, to form part Of the atmosphere
of the place.
Tom invites Helen and her father
out to the theatre. After the theatre
he informs his guests that he has a
pressing engagement at Capellano's.
| Helen has always wanted to go TO this
old cafe, and will have it no other
way but that Tom take them with
him. He is forced to the issue and
takes them along.
Two crooks arrive there first and
pause at the head of the steps to talk
over how easy it was to get a railroad
merger from Rogers. When Billy
hears the name of Rogers mentioned
and sees one Of the crooks show the
other the merger and then put it back
in his pocket, with one corner stick
ing out, he knows something is up.
Billy reaches out with his spear. gets
the merger and hides it under his ar
NOR.
Helen recognizes Billy in the armor
and Is shocked that he should be
there, and asks him why. Billy only
replies vaguely. Helen is angered and
determines to punish him. She goes
to the proprietor and asks that the
'halberdier" be instructed to wait
upon their table. Billy waits on their
table. but smiles and tells Rogers that
the three months will be up in thirty
minutes. AS fate would have it, he
drops a hot tureen full of soup. Rogers
sees a chance to beat him at the game
and asks the proprietor to fire him
