Filling Stations Refuse to Sell Gasoline

Automobile drivers will have to quit
smoking while getting their tanks
filled at any of the local filling sta
tions. The managers have issued an
ultimatum that in the future no Gus
toners will be served. If they are puff
ing away at long cigars, cigarets or
even pipes It makes no difference
how hard to crank the motor may be,
it also must be put out OF business
temporarily or the filling station win

The filling station men did not take
the initiative in this new wrinkle, l.
Z. Husseys state fire marshal, had 4
lot do do with It. There Is q state law
providing for the stopping Of motors
while having the tank filled. Smoking
Ia also taboo. Fire Marshal Hussey
has decided that now Is q good time
to enforce this law. Several bad fires
have occurred in the state as a result
Of filling tanks with gasoline while
the motor was running.
"Our customers resent being asked
to cut off their motors" said r. E.

native, however. since the fire marshal
has made it mandatory"
All filling stations have the same
rule and declare they will obey it.

PEOPLE TO SELECT Chief
C. b. Hypes Would Give Voters Voice
in City Appointments


A departure from the usual proce-

c. B. Hypes. candidate for mayor.
Hypes announced at a meeting in Sc
curity hall Friday night that II he is
elected he will ask the Chamber of
Commerce., Merchants association
and the civic bodies to decide upon a
chief of police and the Bar associa-
ton of the city to select police judge
and city attorney.
These are offices of great impor-
lance and are close to every man and
woman" said Hypes. Personally I
don't think one man knows better
than all others who Is best qualified
for these jobs. 1t Is upon this plat
form that 1 am, standing in my cam
paign. I promise to appoint to these
offices the men chosen by the lawyers
and civic bodies. rather than hand out
the Jobs to some one in payment for
their work in my campaign
Hypes asserted that these officers
are usually given as payment for
political debts. thus giving the people
no voice in the matter.
THE people of Topeka" said Hypes,
''have as much right to say who their
police chief will be as the mayor has,

planned is the nearest to representa-
