CITY PEOPLE "EAsY MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims or Beeoar for
Whom lusty Youth Mas En-
gagged In Barking"

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one of the Oldest
professions" of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation is
due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge APP
preach on Delaney street, the New
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance of this
beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up In a wheel chair.
Alongside was a husky youth Of nine
teen or SO. busily engaged in barking
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought 1t a good joke on
the alms-giving public, for there was
always a smirk OH his face. as his
friend shouted s 70 non should neglect
to drop a coin In the beggar's lap. His
s'spiei" was In Yiddish, which, roughly
translated into English, would be:

COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
U%nsiahtly "AppIe" Is a Legacy Be-
queathed to His Posterity by
Old Father Adam.

We all have 1t in" for Adam for
shutting to our faces the gates of the
Garden of Eden. But many of us,
though we may not know it, bear a
particular resemblance to this COM
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder. For it Is generally
conceded that an Adams apple" is
no aid to beauty. And besides making
of u Paradise a cold, bare world, it
is Adam who inflicted upon us this ad-
ditional burden. When our common
progenitor took the fatal bite that for
over doomed the rest of us to exist
ence by the sweat of our brows, q
piece Of the fruit is supposed to have
lodged In his throat and stuck there
in his children's children unto the nth
generation. And that is why the
slight proturberance hat some people
have at the front Of the throat is
called adams applet" Speaking of
ancestry. some of us carry about on
u persons unmistakable proof of u
ancient lineage.-Chicago Journal.

USE COMPRESSED AIR

Interesting Possibilities Offered

Many People Apply Light Oil to Side

Many people try to avoid the disa-
greeable job of ~greasing auto springs.
by applying a light oil to the side of
the spring. trusting to It's tendency to

weight of wheels and axles open the

If compressed air is available, or
even a helper to work the tire pump.
a blast of air against the side Of the

oil in where it belongs. The sketch

KEEP SEDIMENT TRAP CLEAN
Wire Gauze Screen Is Provided to
Catch All Foreign Matter

Most present-day gasoline tanks are
fitted with a sediment trap, which
usually is located at the place where
the pipe line leaves the tank. This
trap has a wire gauze screen and a
cup is provided to catch foreign mat

a practice to clean this sediment trap

Charging a breach of contract the
Topeka Oil & Development company
today filed suit in the district court
to collect $10,500 damages from the
Adanac Oil & Refining corporation.
and the Macsom corpora ton. both of
New York. The two defendants. it is
said, were under contract to do the
drilling on the leases composing 22,0
acres north of Rossville.
The plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANTS were under contract to drill
a we'll to the depth of 5000 feet, un-
less oil or gas in paying quantities
were struck sooner. 1t is claimed that
before this depth was reached, the two
concerns withdrew their rigs and re-
fused to proceed further This. the
local company claims in it's petition
damaged the plaintiff to the extent of
$500.
1t was also agreed, the petition re-
cites. that the Adanac and Macsom
corporations were to pay the rentals
on the leases. This amounts at pres
ent to $4,000. it is claimed The To-
peka company asks that it be given
judgment of the total amount and
that the contracts with the New York
corporations be declared null and void.
r. P. March. president of the To-
peka Oil & Development company,
filed an affidavit in garnishment, as
serting the possessions of the defend
ants are not sufficient to cover the
claim, but that they have money owing
from the Bank of Topeka. March was

TO NAME HOOVER

Indications Are Harding Has
Plan in Mind.

Washington, June 25-Despite ef-
forts of Warren G. Harding, Republi-
can presidential nominee, to discour-
age all speculation regarding cabinet
selections, the name of Herbert Hoov-
er as a possible choice for secretary of
state was circulating here today.
The Hoover talk started when he
took breakfast at Harding's house i'm
mediately upon return of the nominee
to Washington. Harding expressed
himself as highly pleased over his
conference with Hoover.
Harding is known to hold Hoover's
ability in high regard. Other factors
making Hoover a logical choice are
his thoro acquaintance with European
affairs, the high esteem in which he
is held abroad because of his food re-
lief efforts and the confidence Hoover
is reported to have in international
banking circles whose affairs are
wrapped up in international relations
of the United States.

81 MILDRED REED.

"Why couldn't we use the movies
to advertise our churches2" an idea
of the Rev. James =. deb. Kaye. dean
OF Grace cathedral has originated a
plan Of church advertising that is
unique in the country and perhaps in
the world.
Churches need to get closer to the
people," reasons Dean Kaye. 1T has
occurred to me that there is no surer
way of getting close to the people than
thru the movies.
Film Crowds Going to Church.
As a result. "exteriors" and Inter
iors" of Grace cathedral. motion pic
lures of the members of the parish
coming and going to service, of the
Girls Friendly society activities, of the
boys clubs Of the women Guild work
ers. the May fete of Bethany girls. of
the choir professional, of the Mems
club of the cathedral and various 9TH
er phases of the church life will be
put on the screens OF local theaters
once or twice each week, beginning in
the fall.
According to c. Tucker. representa-
tive of the Denver Film Advertising
company, Denver. Colo. who is max
ing the film. the method of adver-
tising church work has never been
used anywhere. The company pro-
duces only educational and CONNER
cial films.
ITO my knowledge Grace Cathedral
is the first church Of the country to
take up the plan and it may be that
II is a pioneer in a great and sue
cessful method of Strengthening
church work" Tucker said.
Church announcements have been
made on motion picture screens, but
pictures of church activities as an ap-
peal for church attendance are a plan
that marks definite progress in church
propaganda, Dean Kaye declared.
Newspaper advertising of churches is
only a recent awakening to the fact
that religion may need propaganda,
when propaganda is the secret of so
much business success" Dean Kaye
said. War time showed us the power
of the moving pictures in appealing
TO the people, and it is reasonable to
expect that such methods may in
crease the church's power"
Start Pictures Tomorrow.
The first films will be made of the
annual parish picnic at Vinewood to-
morrow. More than 200 persons are
expected to attend. Vinewood, for
merly an amusement park. has been
leased by the Girls Friendly society
Of the church as a vacation camp for
girls of the society and other girls of
Topeka. The films of the picnic and
other church pictures will be shown
soon at local theaters.
