Ma Jinaki1s Tries To
Arouse Interest For
Them Poles II, Society
But Her Frivolous Friends just Yawn and Wonder What
Bathing Suit to Wear at Gage Park
Tomorrow Afternoon

all these questions of state was too
much for her nerves.
1 set down next to another woman
that I knew. and saw that she was
readin' the noon edition of The State
Journal, about how the Poles had got
them Reds on the run. Leastways, 1
thought that was what she was read
ing. But. la, / might 'knowed she
wa mt. She was just tryin' to figger
out whether Mr.. Flora was goin to
give 'em good weather for a picnic
they was planning for be next day.
and didn't even know they was fight
ing oyer there. She thought that the
trouble all ended when the armistice
was signed with Germany, and that
Germany had just laid down and for
got all about ambition and greed and
lust of power.

They'd ought to know about this yere
soviet system of government, that the
hullsheviks is a'goin' to try to cram
down our threats when they get thru
examining it down the Threats of those
folks over there. And they'd oughter
know that Germany is a gettin' out
some more of their deVlish propa-
ganda, and that they amt goin' to
leave a stone upturned to havin' chaos
and confusion rule over here, same's
over there"
The Soviet System.
So I tried to tell that there woman
about the soviet system. and what it
aimed to do. toward settin' civiliza-
ton back. not encouraging eddication;
keepin' folks in dense ignorance;
putin a premium on ignorance. In
fact; how they was KILN competition,
which is the big artery without which
business would die, and progress be
wiped often the face of the earth:
about how they nationalized wimmen
in Russia. under the soviet system;
how they aimed at the destruction of
sacred. 1 tried to make that woman
see that they amt no government in
the whole world with as representa-
tive a form of government as our'n,
and how the soviet government was
the farthest removed from represen-
tative government of any.
When You A-gom' Swimmin'?
| When I got thru, she said she
didn't know as we folks out here in
Kansas needed to fret ourselves over
them Poles, and that she couldn't fol-

sian, unless it was that the Russians
wore longer boards. and was 1 goin' to

BoB's IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Carnahan Takes on Pool Hall Patrons
and Most of Police Force.

r
Bob Carnahan is in trouble again.
This time Bob. who is employed by
the state to inspect electrical wiring
of hotels. attempted to clear Rigby's
pool hall of its clientele and took cave
man methods of gaining his end.
Carnahan, who the police say, was
full of whisky and fight. called some
of the patrons of the pool hall to the
door last night and knocked them
down. He tried these tactics on Glenn
Shaffer. a high school boy. Shs:fer'
ducked and Carnahan lost his foot
ing
In the meantime the proprietors,
who failed to appreciate the enter
called the police. Chief George G.
Hannah and Patrolman Dan Duncan
answered a hurry call. The chief. who
endeavorsd to use verbal persuasion,
received several blows for his trouble.
Duncan relied on the same tactics as
used by Carnahan. with his club as an
aid. Finally Carnahan was overcome
after Duncan broke finger on his
right hand.
At police headquarters Carnahan is
said'to have resented an inspection OF
the privacy of his pockets by Detec-
ives A Alba and L. W. Jackson. Alba
used cave man tactics and SO did
Carnahan. Jackson received a bump
between the eyes. Carnahan didn't
fare very well at the hands of Alba.
In the bull pen" Carnahan Knocked
Charles johnson, booked as a drunk,
across the floor. He wanted to fight
Richard Carter. the negro who
knocked down Paul williams. motor
cycle driver. and the police finally put
him in a solitary cell.
Today. Carnahan. who was charged
with disorderly conduct and drunken
ness, was released on a SO bond.
Carnahan has been involved in other
rows in which he proved himself a
'scrapper." He was divorced several
months ago from war bride"
Carnahan went to France with Bat
terry A.
Harper Rigby proprietor Of the
pool hall stated today that the fight
/ took place outside the hall and that
none of the employees called the police.

In this he will have the assistance
of the newly formed outpost signal
detachment of Kansas City under the
command of Lieut.. Ed. w. German.
The detachment is not camped at the
flats for the period of instruction, but
is attached to the regular signal troops
at Fort Riley.
During the first ofthe week the
men OF the detachment were working
with one of the very latest inventions
OF modern warfare. They were using
radio set mounted on a motorcycle
and so adjusted that while proceeding
along the road at speed of twenty or
thirty miles the operator could send
and receive messages for a distance of
five miles
The invention is the product OF
Lieut.. Sidney Jordan. who is now
working to increase the radius of eff
cheney of his instrument. When sta
tionary, the outfit can now send and
receive messages eighteen miles and
thus has made itself a valuable asset
to rapidly moving cavalry units.

and the national guardsnlen are the
ones who have thru their sacrifices

know that after what has passed. It
will be only the most ignorant who
even thinks of the national guardsman
