Glass today asked Secretary Baker to
hasten the return of the Forty-second
(Rainbow) division so it can partici-
pate in the Victory loan campaign
The date for the divisions return, now
set, is April 26, Glass said.

bers of the division as loan speakers
thruout the country.

TURNED LOOSE TEAR GAS
Soldier From Funston Plays Prac-
ticaI Joke on Hamilton Hall
Skaters.

A number of young Topeka people
are wondering how it is possible to
make the world safe for the public
who cares to indulge in roller skating.
Hamilton hall, the headquarters of
the Kansas State Guard, is open as a
skating rink certain nights and the
place is usually well patroniZed. But
one evening-not many evenings ago
the patrons became the victims of
practical joke, believed to have been
perpetrated by a soldier from Camp
Funston.
The skating was in full swing. Two
dozen or more couples were gliding
gracefully around the room, content
ment in their hearts. Half a dozen
fancy skaters were cutting figure
eights and Egyptian hieroglyphics in
an effort to excite the wonder of the
| lookers-on; joy was running rife. And
then it happened.
A young lady began to wipe tears
from her eyes, which was the more
unusual because she hadn't fallen
down once in the whole evening. A
/ youth, whirling along at a good speed,
collided abruptly with the wall, which
he hadn't seen for the tears in his
eyes. The health officers who guided
/ the public thru the flu epidemic
would have been shocked at the sur
den fit of sneezing that seized every
one. 1t was an era of "dewy eyes
tears soon streamed down the faces of
| everyone in the hall. Before the ar
mistice was signed the police would
have been called under the suspicion
/ that some German had turned loose a
quantity of poison gas. There was a
sudden rush for the windows. which
| were thrown. wide open: the inrush-
! ing fresh air dispelled the gas and in a
short time the eyes of the skaters were
dry once more. Everyone was won
dering what the strange phenomenon
| could have been, when someone dis
| covered that a soldier had turned
loose a small amount of the gas used
in training the men for the trenches
! at Camp Funston.
score of young people started a
search for him, but he was not to be
! found: he had played his practical
joke and disappeared.
