High hopes are being entertained by

without tying up the country's traffic

PASS BUCK BACK
Commissioners and C. of C..
Dodge Air Field Responsibility.
Money May Have To Be Raised
by Private Parties.

The matter OF assuring the location
OF government landing field for pos
tai and military airplanes in Topeka is
a matter for decision tomorrow"
Already the buck has been passed
from the Chamber of Commerce to the
city commission and from the city
commission back to the Chamber of
Commerce The buck was passed
again today. which leaves the city
commission holding it.
And in the meantime Topeka is not
at all assured that the landing field
will be located here.
Col. c. NJ. Morrow, chief of the air
service for the central department.
was in Topeka about two weeks ago
and indicated a certain field which
would be acceptable to the govern
ment. He also left a blank contract
with Postmaster Rigby which was to
be signed and forwarded to him-if
Topeka really desired the landing
field-before today.
Will Cost $4,000 a Year.
Today the air service committee Of
the city with two or three representa-
tives of other lines met to discuss the
financial part of the proposition. II
will cost $4,000 yearly rental for land
for the establishment here of a land
ing field.
The city commissioners at a meeting
OF the DOaf0 OF directors OF the Cham-
Der of Commerce last week said defi-
nitely that the city is unable to finance
the proposition this year as the budget
is already made up. Forthwith the
Chamber directors came forth with
the offer to underwrite the PROPOSE
ton if the. commission would bind
itself to SO arrange next years budget
that the money would be repaid the
Chamber. The commissioners said
that this could not be done legally
and besides they did not show any
special inclination to do business on
this basis.
Take Private Subscriptions.
At meeting of the men this noon
it was suggested that a club of zoo
men be formed, each member OF
which would give $40 towards the
first years expense for the landing
field. This suggestion did not carry
far. and when the meeting adjourned
1t was planned that the city commits
sioners would have talk today or
tomorrow with the city attorney to
find out IF something cannot be
done"
In the meantime the contract which
should have been signed and on its
way to Colonel Morrow for presenta-
ton TO the air service board in Wash
ington is safely reposing in Postmas-
ter Rigby's safe. 1t is still unsigned
Also Robert Fullerton has been in

What About High Cost Of
Limeades in Topeka.
Lines Have Dropped s. Per
Cent Since 1918.
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACT
Obtains Evidence From Com
mission Men Here.
Soda Fountain Barons To Feel
H. C. of L. Probe.

Druggists and soda fountains bar
ons may be next on the carpet TO ex-
plain the high cost of living. Evil
dence secured by r. ]. Hopkins. at
torney general. shows that the price
of lines has dropped SO to IS per
cent since 1913. Last year the price
OF Hmeades was boosted 100 per-with-
out the war tax-and the price did
not go down when the line market
slumped.
A number of Topeka commission
merchants told their stories to Hop
kins in regard to marketing conditions
and profits. They asserted that in the
main prices were no higher than a
year ago. With the stress of war off
the public mind. however. everyone is
looking at the grocery bill with critf-
cal eye. Several commission men said
that the general retail prices. as well
as the prices received by commission
firms have changed little ins twelve
months.
Lines Go Down.
The price of lines. tho, seems to
have taken an awful sag" Hopkins
said today. II have secured informa-
ton which shows that last year lines
were sold at $40 and even $12 and SIS
case. Now they are down around IS.
But the price of limeades hasn't
dropped bit I understand the rate
was raised TO a dimeEor an increase
OF 100 per cent But the consumer re-
ceived no benefits when the lime prices
dropped"
Soda fountains fill two limeade or
ders with one lime. Hopkins has not
indicated just what course. he will fol-
low, but he may inquire of soft drink
mixers and druggists IL they are en-
ing a living profit with lime quotations
at present figures.

SET FIRE TO SCHOOL
Runaway Girls at BeIoit Make Advcn-

Runaway Girls at Beloit Make Adycn-
ture Complete.
Beloit. Kan, Aug. 1.-Two new
names may be added to the long list
of escapes from the state Industrial
school for girls during the admins
tration OF Mrs. Lillian Mitchner of To-
peka as superintendent. Not only did
two girls escape from the school, but
they also set fire to the school build
ing. The loss Of state property is said
to amount to several hundred dollars.
1t is stated that information as to
the fire and names of girls is being
withheld by officials at the state
school Records show that more girls
have run away during the administra-
ton of Mrs. Mitchner than during the
term of any former school superin-
teudent. 1t w3s the record of escapes
and information showing lack of dis
cipline and control which is said to
have led the state board of admins
tration to consider the removal of Mrs.
Mitchner.
Malcolm Grey. secretary of the state
board Of administration stated this
afternoon that no official information
had been received concerning the re-
ported escapes and incendiarisrn by
inmates of the state school for girls at
Beloit- Members of the state board
are out of the city. Facts concerning
the latest outbreak by the girls will
doubtless be Investigated when the

Some real girl swimmers are being
developed at the Y. W. c. A IN To-
peka and very soon il may be ex-
pected that Topeka nymphs will be
entered in statewide and national
swimming events.
The second examination contest of
the year at the w. C A. was held
this morning and the entries displayed
exceptional form for girl swimmers in
a locality where tank accommodations
are not of the best. Many of the girls
entered have been swimmers but a few
weeks, some of them entering the
water for the first time as short a
time as two weeks ago
1t Is really within the realm of pos
sibility that some of the girl swimmers
will be contenders for national titles
within a few years
