Little Hope for Reduction in
Cost of WOmen's Clothes.
Possibly by Fall Mere Man May
Agree With Wifey.
COTTON GOODS TO GO DOWN
Downward Trend VIII Be No.
ticeable This Spring.
L. G.. Thorpe Tells of Short
Buying on N. Y. Markets.

There is little hope of any reduc-
ton in the price of women's clothes
before fall. according to a stateme MT
made today by L. G. Thorpe, manager
and buyer for the w. W. Mills COM
pany of Topeka, who has just re-
turned from a trip to New York City.
Thorpe went to the metropolis in the
interests of his firm to look over the
spring and summer offerings of the
manufacturers Of women's clothing.
Thorpe stated today that it was his
observation while in New York that
the buyers for a large majority of the
stores over the country were making
purchases of goods and clothing spar
ingIy, most of the purchases being
made for delivery in six to eight
weeks.
You May See Drop.
Thorpe said that he sees little hope
for any reduction in the price OF
wooden goods even this fall-it will
probably be another year before the
downward trend begins to be notice
able. In cotton goods he said that he
thinks the drop will be of visible pro-
portions by spring-if one has fairly
good eyes.
Speaking of one of his experiences
in New York, Thorpe said that at tt e
Hotel McAlpin he saw prospective Gus
toners amble up to the desk in
steady stream, all OF them asking for
rooms. All the clerks did was to
wave them away regretfully. He said
that one buyer he met told him Of an
all night search thru New York;
business section for a room. Fortv-
four hotels were /visited-fnally the
buyer slept on a. cot in a hallway
Thorpe said that many of the buyers
went across the river to Newark, N. J.,
in order to find sleeping accommoda-
tons of any kind.

Wilbur 8. Magill Tells of IntOl-
cradle Conditions at Brest.
Company of Sick and Wounded
Exposed Five Hours.
WERE WAITING FOR BILLETS
Slept On Chicken Wire In
Leaky Wooden Barracks.
Thirty-Fifth Casualties Heavier
Than Other Divisions.

The story of how his company. COM
had to stand knee deep in mud for
five hours in driving rain while it
was being decided where they should
be billeted, is one of the incidents re-
lated by Wilbur S. Magill, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel J. Magill, 1912 Lin
coin street. who has returned home
after serving with the 10th engineers
in France. Magill says conditions at
the American embarkation point at
Brest, France, are almost intolerable.
After being gaSSed in the battle of
the Argonne forest he was moved to
base hospital No. 20 at Chatelgnyon,
and later sent TO st. Aignon. Here
men from all units. unfit for active
service, were organized into companies
to be sent home. Magill's company
consisted of $50 men and they were
sent from st. Aignon to Brest about
January 1 in box cars. They arrived
in Brest about 10 o'clock that night
and were forced to stand in the mud
and rain until o'clock next morning
until their billets should be decided
upon.
Barracks We're Leaky.
Altho the barracks were supposed
to have been completed when he ar
rived. Magill said they had evidently
been hastily constructed and were very
leaky. The men had three blankets
apiece and slept on chicken wire
stretched over frameworks, with the
cold rain dripping in on them thru the
cracks in the roof. 1t had rained for
seventy-two consecutive days and the
black loan of the soil in that vicinity
had been churned into a gigantic mass
of black, sticky mud by the thousands
of feet.
Magill was at Brest about two
weeks There was no mess hall: the
ho kitchen
where they received their Chow and
then passed out into an open court,
where they stood in the mud and ate,
often in a driving rain. Many of the
men, Magill said, had open wounds.
The barracks, according to the re-
turned engineer, were constructed by
American engineers, the construction
beginning just after the armistice was
signed. The barracks which the engt-
neers built for themselves, he said,
IDENTIFY hastily and carelessly thrown
together. Magill said he believed that
it could have been the fault of no 9TH
err than the officer in charge of the
tions existed.
Artillery Was Inadequate.
Magill showed a reluctance to dis
cuss the losses of the Thirty-fifth di-
vision in the battle of the Argonpe,
but admitted that they were probably
heavier than those of other divisions.
He also admitted that they had made
quate artillery support after the first
day, but attributed this fact chiefly to
the lack of tractors, believing the
heavy guns could have been gotten
over the roads in no other manner
There were plenty of tanks. he said.
but the lack of airplanes left them
open to attack by boche machines
carrying machine guns. and also gave
the German flyers ample opportunity
to observe the location of the Ameri-
can troops and enable their artillery
to get the exact range.

Estimated $4,000 Deaths in q.
s. Since Sept. 1.
Figures Based on Reports Re-
ceiyed by DR.. Clark.
Topeka IN "AKTl" CRUSADE
Cards, Pamphlets and Posters
Distributed by This City.
Boy Scouts Taking Important
Part in the Work.

If the influenza death rate thru
out the entire United States followed
the percentage established by figures
four of the largest cities in the coun-
try, $4,000 persons have died from
the disease since September 1.
According to reports received by
Dr. H. l.. Clark. city health officer,
from the United States census bureau.
in forty-four cities with a population
of 100000 or over, there has been a
total of 1885 deaths from influenza
and pneumonia between the dates of
Sept. 1 and Feb. s. The total number
of deaths aScribed to influenza alone
contributory causes were credited with
51,700 deaths during the period of the
epidemic.
The forty-four cities. says Dr. Clark.
have a total of 22,0S5,150. or 20 per
cent of the total population of the
United States. There have been $780,
600 persons killed by the disease in
this country IL the death rate estab-
lished in these forty-four representa-
tive cities has been maintained thru
out the entire country.
Campaign to Stop Disease.
The health department has UNDER
taken a campaign of considerable
magnitude against the spread of the
disease. 1t is the aim to stamp it
out entirely. Publicity both in pre-
ventive measures, methods of treat
ment, general health hints, industrial
nursing, supervision of schools and
Sunday schools, and various closing
orders and restrictions are all factors
in the drive for health. Thousands
of cards and pamphlets of various
sizes and bearing different MESA ges
have been issued thru the health de-
partment. One education bulletin has
already been distributed turnout the
business and residential districts. The
boy scouts have assisted materially
in distributing the literature.
An effort has been made in laying
out the warning cards to place before
the public the most authentic and re-
liable information. Five thousand
small "Stop, Look, Listen" cards have
been issued.
Flu Precautions Distributed.
Flu Precautions" in the form of
bills and posters have been distributed
to the extent of 1000 in the small
size. Five hundred of these have been
| issued in a larger size while 100 have
been issued in a. large size. The
| largest size is used to place in stores.
1t is also displayed in show windows.
| theater Hobbies, railway stations and
other public places where a large
conspicuous card would receive at
tention.
The advice given in Flu Precau-
lions" is good advice, says Doctor
Clark, not only as a means of pos
sibly avoiding contracting the flu, but
it also contains nine of the very best
rules known to the medical profession
for keeping healthy in general way.

or virus live but a short time after
leaving the body.
CD A nose spray of paraffine oil
and creosote and a gargle of soda
water would not be a sure preventive
against influenza. Indeed, there are
no known preventive measures, and
there is abundant evidence to warrant
a belief that the use of sprays and
gargles are not only of no value, but
that they are positively injurious, in
that they irritate the protecting mu-
cous surfaces of the normal throat and
nose and thus break down the natural
defenses of those tissues.
+ (4) It is not positively known when
the most dangerous time is in which
the disease may be transmitted from
the sick to the well. From recent ex-
perimenta1 evidence, it would seem
that it is probably at or before the
onset of the disease, and that shortly
after the onset Oength of time is I'M
known the patient is nominations to
others.
(5) Hot water bottles should not be
used when patient has a high fever.

PRUDENCE CRANDALL
j. NJ. Cavaness Suggests Monument to
Memory of Teacher.

Editor State Journal:
Nearly 100 years ago a teacher
named Prudence Crandall, started
school for colored children in one of
the New England states. This was
the first school of the kind ever taught
in the United States, and possibly in
the world. For this innovation she
was prosecuted to the limit. Merchants
refused to sell her food or clothing.
Friends and relatives were forbidden
to visit her. Her well was fouled,
and her property destroyed. Church
people even Joined the rabble in ex-
hibiting all manner of indignities to-
ward her. The legislature was pre-
vailed on to pass laws looking to the
suppressing of her school. At last her
home was burned, and she perforce
left the state, practically a pauper.
This woman lies buried in the ceme-
terry at Howard, Kan. Mrs. Tom
Thompson has written a pamphlet
giving in detail the life and persecu-
tons of this martyr of human liberty,
and it is on file in our State Historical
society.
The state of Kansas, thru it's legis1a-
tive body, should authorize the build
ing of an appropriate monument to
this noble woman. If they will not
authorize it the school teachers of
the state, aided by contributions from
school children, should do it. She
was certainly worthy of this recogni-
ton. ]. NJ. CAVANESS.

Rev. AdOlph Liljengren, of To-
peka, Enters New Field.
His Church Publications Read
All Over the Country.
ENGLISH TONGUE is POPULAR
Swedish Pastor Finds Growing
Tendency Toward 1t.
TOpekan Has Written 12 Books
of Wide Circulation.

Rev. Adolph Liljengren. pastor of the
Swedish Mission Bethel church OF
Topeka, has, besides erecting the new
church for his congregation since he
came here five years ago, also Interest,"
ed himself in publishing work. Three
years ago he startedsa monthly young
peoples paper. THE Sunflower."
which has steadily gained friends in
his denomination and which recently
was pronounced by the literars critics
of his denomination to be the best
young peoples paper among his pev-
pie.
Last Christmas, Reverend Liljengren
started another publication 1.-The SUM-
flower Sunday School Quarterly" in
which the international Sunday school
texts are printed parallel on the page
in both the Swedish and English
language. together with brief COM
mentaries. This publication became
SO popular that in six weeks three
editions were printed. Reverend Lii
jengren's quarterly is the first publica-
ton of its kind in which two languages
are used. Mr.. Liljengren expects to
print the edition for the second
quarter ten thousand copies.
: The demand for literature of this
kind indicates very forcibly the
tendency to turn to the English
tongue in the Sunday schools. and in
asmuch as the younger generation is
weak in its mother tongue, the time is
drawing night when English will be
used more extensively in the Swedish
American churches.
Mr.. Liljengren has written eleven
books, three having been written in
Topeka, of which one was a large
and attractive history of the activities
of the Mission Friends in Kansas.

ROSES.
The Persian Legend.

In Persia they commemorate with
a feast of roses an incident in the
life of ZoroaSter. When Zoroaster was
an infant, he was taken from his peo-
pie by the king. The kings wise men
warned him not to do SO, but the
king would not listen and had him
placed upon a pile of burning logs.
The little Zoroaster did not even wake
the brands of fire had become flowers
"a bed of roses. Those flames were
first caught up by the priests and
have been transmitted as a holy fire
which has been kept alive to this
day.
1t is in Persia, too, that the bulbul
or nightingale begins to sing when the
roses bloom, for so the bird tells his
