mas just right 20 extra military guar

and these guarantees may we'll have TO
take tho form OF special territorial re-
adjustments. In any case. France may
count on our sympathy and assistance
in obtaining all these necessary guar

lure Will be in Eastern Europe, and
that is why a barrier Of new states to

Franco has u particular interest in the
vest front, the detection OF Eolshoyjst
Russia makes II desirable that she
should find some substitute on the cast

must be a great JOY to her people that
this substitute should take the form
Of a barrier line of free peoples.
uRITAIS'S POSITION
\ SIMILAR TO THAT OF FRANCE
Our own position has many points
OF resemblance to that of France. The
tons com niunication with free peoples
between the Baltic and Adriatic Will
be over the sea. and. therefore, We
arc anxious about free passage into

VII-Conic and Pointed Tips
Copyright, 1919, by Public Ledger Go.

TON1C and pointed tips may easily
~ be treated of in the same section, rs
they agree in so many respects and are
distinguished from each other. In the
main, only in regard TO the degree Of
Intensity with which each of them OPP
crates.
Both indicate an artistic tempcra
nent: love for whatever Is beautiful
an indifference toward the more praC-
tlcal sides of life.
First Comic tips range all the way from
tho almost square to the almost pointed
They are always more rounded at the
end than the square tips and less point
ed than tho pointed tip. Moreover. they
differ from the pointed tip also in the
hnger not being as tapcring as the
finger of the pointed tip. In fact, some
times fingers. which are charactcrstiCal-
ly comic and of very high type, do not
taper at all.
A chronic disregard of order is one
of the chief traits shown by comic tips.
They speak of an exceedingly active
mind, which finds it too irksome to allow
itself TO be fettered by orderiness.
How beautiful a thing is. not how use
ful, is the question which is usually
uppermost in this sort of mind It is
tho tip with which ordinarily. we are
prone to associate the idea of art, es-
theticism, genius. This is correct so
far as a sense of beautiful is concerned ;
but, az a rule, the comic tip is accom-
PANIED by Incidence, which makes 1t
imperative as a producer. except where
IT approximates more toward the square
tip.

WEATHER IN JULY
The warmest Month of the
Year Begins Tomorrow.
More Sunshine for Topeka Than
in August, Records Show.

July Is normally a fairly pleasant
month in Kansas. with sunshiny days
and warm. balmy nights, such as are
practically unknown in the celebrated
California climate. The average rain
fall for the month at Topeka for the
last 81 years is 4:47 inches, which is
only slightly less than the average for
Nav or June and considerably more
than that for the country east of the
Mississippi river.
At Topeka it is usually the warmest
mouth OF the year. tho there is prob
ably more uncomfortably warm
weather in August, owing to the high
er humidity then The average after
noon temperature is IS degrees and
the average for the night Sc degrees,
but occasionally some very hot wealth
er has occurred this month. The
warmest month in the history of Kan
as was July. 1901, with a mean of 81
degrees at Topeka and the afternoon
temperature 100 Negroes or higher
every afternoon for nineteen days in
succession. The highest temperature
recorded locally in July was 107 de-
Erees on July 5, 1911. and the lowest
so degrees on July 9, 1891. These
high temperatures nearly always oc-
cur IN connection with dry weather
and a low relative humidity. which
makes II m .ch easier to endure them
than might be thought.
July rainfall is inclined to come in
downpours. The greatest amount
credited to the month locally was
1850 inches in 1909 and the least 0.32
inch in 1916. On July %, 1911, Psi
inches OF ram fell within a space OF
~ minutes. completely breaking the
great drouth OF that year.
July has a better wind movement
than August as a rule and more sun
shine than June. Several Julys have
passed with only one or two cloudy
DAYS recorded.
A warm or even hot July is favor
able for harvesting wheat and oats
and for threshihg, which are usually
well under way, and for cutting al
falfa, which is always general, but il
is likely to be disastrous for the corn
crop if there is a. shortage of moisture
in the ground. Corn taEsels and
shoots this month over most of Kan
sas and at this particular stage in its
development a hot, burning sun and
absence OF sufficient rain will always
cut the yield materially, as occurred
in 1913. 1916 and 1918.
A wet July, on the other hand.

IN TUBERCULAR SURVEY
Statistics Gathered Show Many Deaths
Among Infants.

Among Infants.
In line with the modern trend of
development of health thru prevention
of disease, upon the completion of a
course at Bethany college. ten district
nurses. one tuberculosis nurse on the
Topeka visiting nurse staff. and three
supervisors of local visiting associa-
tions were located in Kansas to make
tuberculosis survey. h
Statistics indicate that nine babies
died in the United States to every
American soldier killed in France.
One of the problems of the state and
the nation is to lower this death rate.
The highest death rate is in the early
period OF a child's life. During the
last three months 1880 infants and
children have been examined by the
state tuberculosis nurses
The report of Mrs. Virginia Knox
Kimban. supervisor, makes the fol-
lowing Indications:
Nurses have visited 265 towns.
They have listed 1850 persons at
flicted with tuberculosis. Discharged
soldiers and sailors receiving COM
pensation for the war risk bureau
have gone to the sanitarium. About
$50 schools were visited.

idea of the development of the anti

The Rev. Mr.. Rash made a plea for
steadfastness of purpose In the church
and advocated clinging to the spiritual
side of religion. He pointed out that
the absence of these factors lead to a
