ORDERS FOR CARS CANCELLED
State Officials Believe Railroads Are
Angry Because Rate Increases
Was Not Approved.

TOpeka.-HaVe the Kansas railroads
already begun Furnishing Kansas ship
pers because the Industrial court did
not rubber stamp" the interstate
commerce commission increase IN
freight and passenger rates?
That is the belief of state officials
and they have some facts that indi-
cate this belief is well founded. Since
September 8, when the Industrial
court told the railroads that it would
not approve the interstate commerce
commissions rate schedule without a
showing that the roads needed that
much money, every car order that
would bring empty cars into the state
has been Cancelled except two. No
empty cars are coming into the state
from eastern lines now. The cars Or
dered for the Kansas roads have been
stopped. The promises Of the car SER
vice commission that cars would be
kept coming until the grain situation
was relieved have been broken
Up to recently the Santa Fe had or
ders for total of IL ESQ cars, of which
it had received 8,828, with 276 on the
way. But the orders which would
have brought it the remaining 1000
cars have been Cancelled in the last
day or two. The Katy had orders for
$50 cars from eastern lines and had
received 293, but the orders to deliver
the balance have been Cancelled. The
Missouri Pacific has received 1928
cars from eastern lines, half OF which
were to go to other roads in Kansas.
All additional orders for cars have
been Cancelled. This road has yet to
deliver 126 cars to the Santa Fe and
166 to the Union Pacific, which will
complete all the orders for cars it has
which have not been Cancelled.
The Union Pacific and the Rock
Island have had all orders for add
tional cars Cancelled.
State officials began asking why the
orders for empty cars had been can
ceIed when cars were promised until
the situation had been relieved. But
no reply has been received to the tele'
gram sent by Governor Allen and the
railroads here do not offer any sug
gestions. The fact that these cancel
1ation orders came after the Industrial
court had refused to sign ION the dot
ted line" the big increase in rates is
taken by state officials as some evi
dence that the railroads have set out
to punish the state and compel action

STUCK IN THEIR MEMORIES
American Slang Phrases That Became Popular Among the FiIipinos
 and Frenchmen.

"Ail right" was generally the first English phrase the French picked up from American troops. "All right" an swers probably quarter of the ques- tiOns that an American is called upon to reply to. In the great mass of jar gon in strange tongue, it stood out on account of constant repetition. The poilus were wont to practice 1t, over their cognac and win blanc glasses, in place of their own tires bien," and yell 1t out to the Yankees on the side of the cafe.
 As the French mastered "all right" so the Filipinos took up "gangway" during the American occupation of the Philippine islands 20 years ago. Pur- suing rough-house tactics that were not permitted during the last war in France, the American troopers would go down the streets of the island towns, pushing the natives into the gutter and yelling "gangwayv It be- came so that whenever a native heard "gangway" half mile off, he imme- diately began to make way for the gang.
 During the insurrection, at the height of one of the rebels "of- fensives," the American troops were astonished to see great swarm of Aguinaldo's soldiers come rushing over the top, waving bolos and spears and yelling "Gangway Gangway!"
 The Filipinos thought "gangway" was vile American cuss word. They later decided that Col. Fred Funston and his Twentieth Kansas doughboys didn't care even if they were sworn at.-Ralph Duffy in Home Sector.

LONG A FAMOUS PLAYHOUSE
phia, to Be Torn Down, Dates From the Year 1909.

The oldest playhouse in America, which is to be replaced in part at least by modern structure, is the Walnut street theater in Philadelphia, opened in 1SO9 It has never missed season in these III years.
 Edwin Forrest made his first regular appearance here at the age of four teen, getting his first start through the influential backing of Col. John Swift, at one time mayor of Philadelphia. The play in which Forrest appeared was 'Douglas," and in the cast were Wheatley, Mrs. Williams, Joe Jeffer- sons grandmother, and Warren and Wood, managers of the theater and of the stock company. Warren and Wood considered themselves very unfortu- nate in the cast of noyices they had to deal with and were greatly surprised when Forrest acquitted himself so well that the public expressed desire for the plays repetition.
 The English tragedian. Edmund Kean, appeared at the Walnut in 1921. During the 16 nights of his engage ment the receipts ran as high as $1,- 379, only once falling below S650. In these days this was considered pro- digious sum in theatrical circles.

SUCCESS IN MARRIED LIFE.
To Insure It, Says Court Official, Each Should Be Partner, as in

A wide experience with husbands and wives has enabled Mrs. Julia l.. Me Guire of the Chicago court of domestic relations to formulate these principles which she gives in Peoples Magazine.
 ''It can all be summed up in about the same way textbooks on business tell one to sum up the proposition of going into business partnership:
 '1. Know your partner. Study him --or her-under trying circumstances as well as when things are going well.
 ''2. Be sure that you and your part ner agree in your purposes and am- bitions. Compare notes with each other and find out whether you have the same tastes and hopes for the future. Find out your prospective partners idea of what to do in pros perity or diversity.
 ''3. Settle upon your working pro gram for the future. Decide how you will apportion your working funds; face frankly the possibilities for trou- ble. and arrange in advance to meet thC4u.

LOOK TO FUTURE OF FOREST
Experts Point Out Folly of Practices Which Prevent the Reproduction
 of the Trees.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 That young growth in the woods, known popularly as brush" is some thing to be rid of. is prevalent but mistaken conception since forest cannot maintain itself long without re- production. For the sake of getting a scattering of green grass in the spring 1t is the short-sighted practice in hun dreds of localities to fire the woods regularly. This results in killing thou sands of small trees needed to con- tinue the forest in the future, and also injures large amount of marketable timber. Furthermore, such burning de stroys large amount of rich vegetable fertilizer.
 Cattle and hogs in hardwood stands, and hogs in long-leaf pines, keep the forest from being restocked. Damage from insects can be reduced by cutting timber at the proper time of year and by utilizing lightning-killed trees with out delay. since they harbor destruc- tive pests. Cattle destroy the produc- tive leaf mulch which keep the trees growing during long, dry spells. All large openings where light comes through into the forest should be filled with younger trees.

Telephone Defect Remedled.

Part of the construction of the tele- phone consists of pocket contain ing small quantity of granules of sarbon through which the vibrations pass. and the difficulty with this has always been that it's full efficiency has not been secured by reason of the fact that these particles become packed in and are therefore non active This condition is attributed to the moisture of the atmosphere. To remedy this defect some French inventors have made microphone in which each individual grain of car bon is in a coil by itself so that no two grains can touch each other, being in contact only with the walls of the cell and diaphragm of the in- strument. Experiments have shown that the new microphone is remark ably sensitive and gives purer tone than any constructed on the old prin- ciple. e.-Indianapolis News.

PURPLE DYE FROM sHELLFlsH
possibility That New Industry May Be Developed, Since the Supply Is
 InexhaustibIe.

On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
 especially in the region about Cocos bay. there abounds a kind of shellfish called the "nacascol," from which a fine purple color is obtained. So far no way has been found for preserving this dye, and the industry has remain ed in the hands of the few old people Who take the trouble to dye a few ounces of thread every summer. The process is very simple. On picking up the shell from the beach or detaching 1t from bowlder, the gatherer blows her breath into 1t, whereupon a few drops of greenish liquor ooze out. This liquor is collected in a clamshell and after a sufficient quantity has been collected the thread is passed through it. soon after assuming, on ex- posture to the sunlight a beautiful purple color, which is absolutely fast after 1t has turned purple. It Is thought possible that the dye turns fast only on exposure to the air and that the liquor could be preserved by keeping the air from it. There is
 little doubt that this industry of dye ing thread could be extended to greater proportions if an extensive de- mand at good prices could be found for the dyestuff.
