Carried by AL jennings

New York, Feb. 10.-"The modern
bandit is no gentleman" AL Jennings,
former famous outlaw, declared to-

Jennings based his assertion on his
encounter with a holdup man here
who relieved him of his purse con-
tanning SS4 and the treasured pardon
granted him by President Roosevelt.
AS result of his experience, he

decided modern New York is too wild

Not Like Old Days.
Asked to compare the technic of
the present day outlaw with the old
timer, Jennings replied:
There is no comparison. In the
old days a man might be an outlaw
and still be a gentleman. In my opin-
ion, the modern bandit is no gentle
man, Judging from the sample L met

This fellow, who apparently was a
foreigner of middle age, treated me
worse than a dog. 1 told him who L
was and tried to kid him, thinking the
situation would appeal to his sense
of humor or at least his professional
courtesy. His only response was to
jab me painfully in the ribs with his
gun and rip out a. string of curses.

Roosevelt granted me. 1 tried to tell
him about it, but he wouldn't listen.

Senate Committee Approves
Immigration Measure.
Johnson Bill Substitute Limits
But Does Not Exclude.

Nationals Admitted to e. S.
Held to Minimum.
BackerS Will Push Measure for
Immediate Action.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Emergency
legislation restricting immigration into
the United States for a period of fif-
teen months, beginning April l, 1921,
was recommended today by the senate
immigration committee when it report
ed favorably on the Dillingham; bill.
Will Be NO Exclusion.
immigration will be restricted on a
percentage basis, but no steps toward
actual exclusion will be taken, men,
bers of the senate immigration COM
mittee indicated today when they met
for consideration of the Dillingham;
bill.
Senator Colt, Rhode Island. chair
man of the committee. explained that
the Johnson bill, wholly excluding i'm
migrants for a year, was turned down
by the committee because it believed
conditions did not warrant such drastic
measures.
Limited to Per Cent.
The Dillingham; bill provides that
the number of aliens admitted to the
United States, in any year. be limited
to 5 per cent of the number of per-
sons of such nationality who are resid-
ing in this country on the basis of the
most recent census. Thus Italy-with
the Italian population in America to-
falling 1,343,125 in 1910-could send
only 67,156 emigrants a year to the
United States.
The question of Oriental immigra-
ton will be entirely eliminated from
the new legislation, the committee
having determined that immigration
from the so-called "Asiatic barred
zone" is an issue to be dealt with sep
arately. Neither would the Dilling-
ham bill be applicable to citizens OF
Canada, Cuba, Mexico and the coun-
tries of Central and South America.
Members of the senate committee
in commenting on the action taken
declared that immediate action on the
new bill will be demanded.

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY This SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones or little ones-soft
ones or hard ones-on any part of the
body, go quick by n simple method that
just dissolves them. To do this get about
two ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist-sprinkle little on a hot wet
spoEGe-rub over the blackheads brisky
for few seconds-and wash off. You'll
wonder where the blackheads have gone.
The calonite powder and the hot water have
just dissolved them. Pinching and sdueez-
ing blackheads only open the pores of the
skin and leave them open and unsightIy-
and unless the blackheads are big and
soft they will not come out, while the
simple application of calonite powder and
water dissolves them right out. leaving
the skin soft and the pores in their ma
tural condition. You can get calonite
powder at any drug store and if YOU are
troubled with these unsightly blemishes
you should certainly try this simple
method-Adv.

iOFFICE is OPENED
WOman's Auxiliary American
Legion Situated in Topeka.
Mrs. Ray Calihan, State Presi-
dent, Here for Organization.
CANDIDATES FOR SECRETARY
Four Women Would Hold Sal
aried Position in This City.
Executive Committee Meets at
Memorial Hall Sunday.

"a hezrt interest that no other or
ganization can supply. is making the
Women's Auxiliary appeal to women
of the country" Mrs. Ray Calihan,
state president of the Kansas Auxil-
larry. said today. Nearly four thou
sand Kansas women have responded
to that appeal"
Mrs. Calihan is in Topeka to assume
her duties as president and make plans
for furthering the work of the organ
ization. She has established an office
in the state headquarters office of the
American Legion in the Memorial
building.
Women who have never cared to
belong to any other organization, to
whom the woman's club or lodge does
not appeal. are joining the Women's
auxiliary to the American legion, her
membership meaning that her hus-
band. father. son or brother served his
country during the war; Mrs. Calihan
said.
In State 30 AuxiIiaries.
Kansas now has ninety auxiliaries
to the American legion, Mrs. Calihan
said Newton is the most strongly or
ganiZed chapter. Wichita has the
largest membership. Topeka's women's
auxiliary is ranked next to Newton in
strength of organization. Kansas was
fourth of all the states to begin for
nation of auxiliaries to the legion, and
Minnesota is the only state conceded
to lead Kansas in the interest and eff
cheney of the organization.
our Kansas department of the
women's auxiliary is only year old
in March, Mrs. Calihan said. I'VE
think it has made remarkable growth
for its youth"
Mrs. Calihan Washburn Girl.
Mrs. Calihan was chosen president
of the state auxiliary at a convention
in Newton, January IL. She is the
wife of Ray Fl. Calihan better known
as Brick Calihan.-a former Topekan.
He lived in Topeka for a number of
years, attended the Topeka high
. school and Washburn college, distin-
gushing himself as an athlete in his
I school career. He is now in law prac-
tice in Garden City. His wife's ehgi-
bility to auxiliary activities is his serv-
ice record with the 353rd signal bat
talon. Mrs. Calihan attended Wash
burn year and completed her college
work at the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Auxiliary work is doing much to
encourage democracy among our
women Mrs. Calihan said. AN ex-
cellent illustration of that is the fact
, that in one of our chapters a promi-
nent society woman, and her laun-
dress are equally active in promoting
the legion auxiliary interests. Their
sons were in the same unit and had
never met until war time. Now their
sons' friendship and the women's
membership in the legion are a nice
study in democracy"
Choose Secretary Sunday.
The appointment of a woman as
state secretary of the auxiliary. a sal
aried position, is the outstanding pur-
pose of a joint meeting of the execu-
tive committees of the auxiliary and
the legion in Topeka Sunday in the
