WILL co THE LIMIT
American Federation Labor Will
Name Presidential Choice.
Labor Men Will First Support
"Friendly" Congressman.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 26.-The
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, meeting here today,
is planning the most extensive pro-
gram in labor's history to elect con-
gressmen next November who Will vote
for the laws the workers want.
Our political plans are progressing
satisfactorily" Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the organization, said as the
delegates met.
Gompers is expected to attack con-
gress and perhaps say something
about the railroad bill when he speaks
here tonight at a mass meeting. He
intends TO explain labor's position in
politics.
With four million votes behind
them, leaders of organized labor now
are studying the presidential possi-
bilities.
Whether the labor block shall be
swung openly to an indicated candf-
date for the presidency is likely soon
to become a perplexing question to be
decided by the national nonpartisan
political campaign committee Of the
American Federation of Labor.
Organized labor never has formally
Endorsed any candidate for the presi-
dency and asked votes for that candt-
date alone. In former years. the word
has been passed out that a certain
candidate had a record unfriendly to
the cause, but no direct attempt has
been made TO defeat any one candidate
and elect his opponent.

TO IMPROVE HERE TO PLEAD GUILTY
Santa Fe to Spend S239,OO0 in
Topeka This Summer.
Seven Millions Are Set Aside
for Freight Cars.

Included in a Santa Fe budget for
eight million dollars worth of i'm
provements. a total of S239,O0O is set
aside for buildings in Topeka this year
An additional s7.S17,480 will be spent
for 400 new freight cars to be deliv-
cred this year. Issuance of gold bonds
of the company for payment of i'm
provement and purchase of new roll
ing stock has been approved by the
state court of industrial relations.
In the Topeka building program the
Santa Fe plans an expenditure of
sS5;000 for a central heating plant
An appropriation of 100000 is made
for enlargement of the present freight
station. The building is inadequate in
view of the great increase in freight
lief of Santa Fe officials that the en-
larged building will meet domestic de-
mands for a period Of at least five
years.
Increased business has also called
for new trackage in the local yards.
Expenditure of $4,000 for this pur-
pose is planned by the company under
its budget. Because of the increased
number of fuel oil engines now in
service the Santa F'e will install a fill
ing station for oil engines. This bet
terment costs $4,000. An additional
$4,000 will be spent for blast fur
fer tables in the passenger coach shop
will call for an expense of $4,000
while $4,000 will be expended for ven
tilators in the power house.
Work on the new improvements will
begin about April 10, according to an
nouncement by Fred c. Fox, Santa Fe
general manager.

Questions-Answers

Q. Tell me how to figure out baseball
players batting average ii. H z.
A. A batting average is obtained by
dividing the number of times player goes
to bat into the number of hits. Sacrifice
hits and bases on balls are not included
in the number of times at bat. A batting
average of 500 would mean that the player
made safe hit once out of every two times
at bat
Q. What organization did the most re
lief work during the WARY. V.
A. The Red Cross society the
largest organization doing relief work dur
ing the World War. 1t expended more than
SS00.OO0.0O0 alternating the suffering and
hardship caused by the war.
Q. What exemption may a widow claim
in making out her income tax return ?
Z. A.

nothing to do with her return II she has
personal exemption of 81 900, the same as
any other single person. If she is the
head Of a family she Is entitled to $1,000
exemption and 500 additional for each
child.
Q. What effect does light have on the
growth of plants M. +. c.
A. Plants do not grow in the dark. This
is shown by the different vigor of plants
growing In the shade and those In the
sunshine When the light is reduced to n
certain point there is no growth at all.

light Is not sufficient to affect plant
growth. Among the plans making the most
rapid seasonal growth are those of the
far north during the season when there is
no night.
