by cutting the glass out of door pam
els and unlocking the doors from the
inside. according to the police.
A Buick touring car belonging to
DIR. C. B. Van Horn, 1915 Mulvane
street, also was taken Friday night
from in front of the Masonic temple.

MEET SHAWNEE ROAD
jackson County Also Planning North
and South Highway.

Jackson county evidently intends to
make its first north and south hard
surfaced road join with the first
Shawnee county north and south high
way. A big delegation, of roads boost
ers from Jackson county met at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon in
joint session with the advocates of the
two proposed north and south lines of
Shawnee county and the Chamber of
Commerce good roads committee.
j. Frank Smith. general manager of
the Kansas Good Roads association,
presided at the meeting and explained
the intricacies of the federal aid law
to the road enthusiasts. 1t seems that
altho there is absolute harmony be-
tween the two forces advocating the
two north and south Shawnee county
roads yet each faction of boosters
is convinced that their particular
road is the one which should receive
first consideration. 1t is thought that
the difficulties will be - ironed out
within the next day or two, and that
the Jackson county officials will be
then notified of the Shawnee county
selection.

BENNING HEADS Y. M. C. A.
Davis, Guild and McVey Named to the
Board of Directors.

y. W. Benning was elected secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. A. at the regular
meeting of the board of directors Fri
day night. Byron Davis, George A.
Guild and Hugh McVey were elected
to vacancies in the board of directors.
The new plans for membership of
boys, proposed by o. w. Haskell, sec
rotary of the boys work department,
were adopted by the board. By these
plans. any boy between the ages of
and 16 years, inclusive, may become
a member of the Y. NJ. c. a. on his
moral qualifications, without the pay
ment of the usual fee, and will be en-
titled to all of the privileges of the
association.
There are certain standards that
the boy must measure up to, and he
must be recommended by the leader
of some organization of which he is a
member. By this plan it will be pos
sible for many boys who could not
otherwise do so, to enjoy the privilege
of the swimming pool, shower bath,
the games, good books and magazines
furnished by the Y NJ. C. A. 1t is be-
lieved that by this plan the member
ship of the boys department will be
materially enlarged

DREAM GIRL WINS
Ora Thompson Fails In Fight
With the Drug Habit.
In Jail Again After Plucky Bat
tie With Desires.

Ora Thompson, 35 years old, a To-
peka cleaner and dyer, walked out of
the county Jail apparently clear-eyed,
his head erect and told county Off
Gals that he was not only free in
body but free in soul. That was about
three months ago. Today he is back
in jail, charged with attempted bur-
glary. and with a physicians assist
ance is again trying to free his soul
from its vampire lady, queen NOR
phine.
Thompson, according to Hugh Lari-
mer. sheriff, had been in trouble be-
fore his confinement three months
ago. He broke into a doctors office
in North Topeka about two years ago,
Larimer says, in answer to the call of
his queen.
And since that time, according to
the story told by officials, Thompson
has been fighting to cast side the lin
gering arms, the enchanted veil of
cententment.
When released, after treatment
three months ago, he went to a
brothers farm in western Kansas and
there sought to forget. But the white
arms of desire ever in his imagination
holding the devilish, tiny little needle
pulled him back. He yielded

FRED vOILAND HOME
Topekan, With Y. NJ. C. A. Boys in
France, Says Boys Don't Ask Charity.

Topekan, With Y. NJ. C. A. Boys in
France, Says Boys Don't Ask Charity.
Fred Voiland, who has been in
France seven months as Y. M. c. A.
secretary with the Thirty-fifth di-
vision, has returned to Topeka. He
says that the Missouri politicians are
bringing pressure to bear on the war
department to have the Thirty-fifth
division mustered out at Jefferson
Barracks. which would deprive Kan
sas of giving the Joys the sort of well
come that is being planned. 1t would
be the proper thing for Kansas to
have first chance since she furnished
the largest per cent of the soldiers of
that division, Voiland says.
Speaking of the officers and men
of the Thirty-fifth division, Voiland
has this to say: They are the finest
bunch of boys one could imagine, and
the National Guard officers with them
are the bes. officers in the world. If
safer place for him than with those
officers. They are close to the boys.
They knew the boys at home, and they
take an interest in them.
Zone thing may be said about those
boys over there. They expect to come
back to civil life and enter into the
program of things-not to dictate, you
politics of the country-but to become
a part of the citizenship of the coun-
try they have served. Nor do they
want anything SAVED for them. They
don't want any one to try to fix things
for them. They know that they are
capable of finding suitable work when
they come home. And one thing that
they must not be regarded as objects
of charity"

MONEY TO SQUIRES
Judge WhitcOmb Decides Former Reg
lister of Deeds Entitled to 81, 500.

Under a decision by Judge Whit
comb in the district court today.
Ralph Squires, former register of
deeds, will receive approximately
$1,000 in excess fees which he col
lected while in office.
Judge Whitcomb sustained a part
of SquireS' demurrer to an answer
filed by the county attorneys office
in the case wherein Squires sued the
county for the excess fees. Squires
claimed that he was entitled to half
of the excess fees in his office as they
were allowed him for clerk hire.
The judge ruled that he would get
the money from a certain date in the
year of 1917 owing to the supreme
courts ruling on the statute under
which the former official made his
claim. Interest on the money, and
fees claimed prior to the statute going
into effect, were denied, hoI ever. The
amount denied was about S700.
