TAxICABS IN BERLIN
Consider Themselves Lucky to Get
 One Fare Day
By Associafed Press


 Berlin, October 12.-Taxicab and droshky drivers in Berlin, as numerous now as be- fore the war. have so little to do that many of them stand. all day at their places without a single fare. They have increased their prices ten to fifteen times the old rate, but the cost of living has kept pace with the increase, and some of them are in abject poverty. There are a few smart equipages, the obvious pride of the owners, but most of their vehicles present battered, forlorn aspect. A droShky driver, whose tall hat was dirty and broken, and whose clothes were patched in many places. perked up eag- erly at the prospect of fare, but when he discovered only a questioner lapsed into-h his customary lethargy.
 I've had only three fares in two days and have not earned enough to feed my horse he said.
 Before the war we were very busy People then went pleasure riding, and ai- ways called a cab to go to their offices Now the Germans cannot afford it, and the majority of the foreigners have their own automobiles"
 On either side of the parkway down the middle of Inter den Linden, hundreds of taXcabs and droshkies are parked, wait ing for customers. They take their turn al calls from the hotels and they consider they are lucky to get one "long-hauI customer 8 day.

The clever idea is that of Mrs. Fred Jones of Livington, Alabama, who, has evolved this very original idea of teaching children history, by arrang- ing the events and characters of Ala bama history in the form of a deck of cards.
 The game is something like the old fashioned Authors" and shows the great names of the great men and wo- men of this great commonwealth, the events that made history, and which made Alabama famous
 Such names and personages are to be reckoned within The Game of Ala bama History" as John Gayle, 193l 8, and such questions are asked on the lit- tie card as: During whose adminis- tration was the final treaty with the Creeks made?" this being the starting point in the tabulated history during the life of this famous statesman.

 "The Game of Alabama" is one of tho most modern and original ideas that has been invented in books for many days, and the clever and talented au- thor is sure to meet most apprecia- tive clientele.
 In speaking of the purpose of "The Game of Alabaam," Mrs. Jones says:
 This game is intended to be used as supplementary to the regular teach ing. and to aid in inpressing some i'm portant facts on the mind of the stu dent. Wisely used, it is beneficial, en- tertaining and stimulating.

 The making Of a German soldier has never been so affectngly told as in this latest hook by Miss Wylie. entitled '"Towards Morning" That she knows the German character through and through there can be no manner of doubt in the mind of anyone who reads this touching story and follows Hei- nuts career from the early lays when his mother, his dog and a wooden doll formed his small world, and were wrenched from him through Prussian discipline, to the terrible night when, hardened, callous, brutalized German soldier, he was ordered to a peasants hut to debase the solitary girl who lived there, and recognized in her the beloved playmate of his childhood Then comes 1elmut's soul-awakening. The soul the iron hand of Prussanism had well night crushed to death is saved by woman's love. To his old parents, Helmut's end means ruin and disgrace; to the girl who loved him it means spiritual victory, heralding the morning light of hope and peace.

 sonal reflection something that clutcEed at the heart"
 To the sprite-like American girl, with
 moon-lit hair and eyes of jade, who has crossed the sea with the courage or high adventure. the Green God symbol izes the paradox of the Orient, with it's orgy of lambent color, it's lure of mar cotic fragrance. it's baffling hostihties, it's insidious and nameless infanies. Seen through the inexperienced eyes of un- spoiled girlhood. the shifting, opalescent panorama of the tropic islands begirs like the vision of an enchanted dreant, wonderland of limitless and heaven high air castles. But while she reaches up to seize the stars, she heedlessly de- fies the little Gfeen God-and narrowly escapes reaping the whrlwind.

The double person. alities are so cleverly handled in ths gripping detective story that you will put it down at the end with sigh or regret that it is not twice as long,
 And so the story rambles on--always fluent and in well-chosen terms. with coIorful pictures of various localities Tn Europe obviously made by one who knows them personally. Suspense, ara natic action, humor of the quahties which make for real interest in an up to-date work of fiction characterize as a/readable book "The Doctor or Pimlico."

Teeth cannot glisten with flm-coat on them. You who want white teeth must learn how to remove it.
 This week your druggist oners-free-a new way of teeth cleaning. Millions now employ it. Leading dentists everywhere advise it. Go make that test One weeks results will be a revelation
 Film-the great enemy
 But this | more than Beauty question. Film runs millions of teeth. Most tooth troubles are now traced to it.
 Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordi- nary tooth paste cannot end it, so the tooth brush has left much of it intact
 It is the flm-coat that discolors, not the teeth Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food sub stance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Mllions of germs breed in it They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea All these troubles have been constantly increasing, because brushing failed to end that film

In this manner, long before sum mer outing by the sea threw her in the way of Lord Oswald Lancaster-London' most prominent ''society' man-Joan had made him in music-to use her child hoods expression and the most populat Of her successes as musical composer was inspired by hero worship to him. The latter part of the book is the story of their mutual love, secret and unsanc- toned by society, for there was an un- surmountable barrier to their union: but Joan was content to consider the world well lost for the sake of love which was to her the very root of being. the one divine spark that cannot die "Tem- perament' is more akin to the authors famous Story of Eden'' than any of her novels since that masterpiece.

Attorney General Favors Law So Git

In order that Kansas municipali-
ties may be able to cope with pos
sible winter shortage of coal, At
torney General Richard ]. Hopkins
to buy fuel and sell it direct to con-
sumers, If conditions warrant emer-
gency action.
In some Kansas cities municipal
coal and wood yards were conducted
last winter as clearing houses to
bring buyers and sellers together, but
under the present law cities have no
authority to engage in business Of
tliis kind on their own accord, Mr..
Hopkins said.
Conditions which prevailed last
fall and winter would, in my opinion.
Justify granting to cities the power
and authority to provide for fuel"
said Hopkins. "The distress and suf-
fefing caused by lack of fuel was of
itself sufficient excuse for enabling
cities to provide a means whereby
repetition of. such disaster may be
avoided.
"The brief special session Of the
legislature last winter did not give the
members sufficient time in which to
properly consider measure of this
kind. 1 am greatly in hopes that the
next session of the legislature will
give the matter due consideration and
feel certain that If it does so the cit
les will be granted such authority"

HOW AB0UTIT, GEORGE
Former County Attorney Ought to
Explain This

George BischOff, former county at
torney, is secretary Of the Democratic
central committee, and is issuing a
scary advertisement attacking the
county commissioners for allowing
and County Attorney Smith for ap-
proving alleged unlawful" bills to
the county clerk as purchasing
agent"
The only claim Mr.. Bisch0ff spec
flies Is that the county attorney APP
proved the county clerks bill for SER
vices as purchasing agent" for the
county and that this is without any
authority Of law. As a matter Of
fact County Clerk King has never
during Mr.. Smiths term presented a
bill to the board 81 county commits
sioners asking for pay for service as
purchasing agent. As no such claim
was presented by Mr.. King, Of course
no approval by Mr.. Smith has ever
been made.
But Mr.. Bischofr was county attor-
ney Of this county and now Is secre-
tary OF the Democratic county CEN
trail committee. During the time that
Mr.. Bischoff was county attorney,
before Mr. Smith. Mr., King did have
contract with the board Of county
commissioners in which they agreed
to pay him regular monthly sum
for acting as purchasing agent, and
Mr.. Bischoff during the time he was
county attorney approved the bills
for these services.
Why does the Democratic county
central committee, of which Mr..
Bischoff Is secretary and responsible
officer, claim now that these bills
were unlawful? II they are unlawful
now, they We're unlawful when he
put his APPROVAL on them. Now he
claims that Smith approved the "un
lawful" bills. Even II he had they |
wouldn't be "unlawful" because the
county commissioners have that au
thority, but we repeat that no such |
bills have ever been presented dur
