PHYSICIAN MAKES A REMARKA-
BILE DISCOVERY

An simplifying apparatus discov-
cred is SO delicate as to permit d
physician to make a stethoscopic
study of the heart action of a patti
ent hundreds of miles away was
demonstrated to group of army and
civilian men at the army signal corps
laboratories in Washington. The
principle involved is similar to that
used in transmitting President Hard
ing's inaugural address to the great
crowd that extended far beyond the
ordinary reach of human voice.
A demonstration was directed by
Brigadier General George Squire,
chief signal officer. The stethoscopic
apparatus with electric connection
was placed over the heart of one Of
the laboratory assistants and the
heart beat was amplified many thous-
ands of times, emerging through a
Photographic horn, to be heard dis
tinctly and studied by the physicians
in room some distance away.
The device may be used in con-
lnection with any telephone wires
and will function, it was said, at
the laboratory, as far as the tele-
phone wires Wal transmit the voice
in ordinary communication.

Some newspapers claim that they
print all the news that's fit to print,
while others state that if it's news
it appears in their publication. Per-

TRIBUTE TO 18Th
Gen. Charles I. Martin Speaker
at Reunion in Kansas City.
Kansas Adjutant Declares
America Peace Loving Nation.

Kansas City, Oct. 31.-High tribute
to the vaIor of the men of the 35th
division who lost their lives in the
world war was paid here today by
Brig. Gen. Charles I. Martin, adjutant
general of Kansas and president of the
35th division association at the second
annual reunion of the association held
in connection with the national Amer
lean Legion convention.
Official records show that the 35th
sas and Missouri national guard troops.
suffered 1884 casualties in the world
war, $50 dead and 6,S94 wounded.
In addition to Brigadier General
Martin, speakers at the memorial serv
ice included Brig. Gen. H. F. Mcclure
and Maj. Gen. William H. Wright,
former commanders of the 35th divi-
sion, Father L. c. Tiernan. former
chaplain 129th Field Artillery and the
Rev. Evans A. Edwards. of Lawrence,
former chaplain 140th infantry. Brig.
Gen Martin said in part:
I'VE are a peace-loving nation and
slow to become involved in war and
when we do it is always for a Just and
righteous cause in which pubue opin-
ion is aroused to the extent of making
it plain to our representatives that we
are ready to act. The fundamental
thing in a democracy like our own is
public opinion.
THE laws of the land are made and
enforced not in legislative bodies and
executive chambers but around the
hearthstone in the schoolroom and
beneath the pulpit"

TO topeka 5000
Conservative Estimate ON the
Teacher Attendance Here.
Other Cities Join Capital in
Shortage of Rooms.

According to conservative estimates
of attendance, Topeka will again have
by far the largest crowd of teachers
at the annual convention of the Kan
sas State Teachers association, open
ing Thursday
"A very conservative estimate will
place the Topeka attendance at 5000:
Wichita, 1000 and Salina and Pitts
burg, $500 each,'' F. L. Pinet, secre-
tary of the association, stated today.
Pinet will remain in Topeka thru
out the convention. instead of visiting
all four of the cities in which it is
held.
E. E. Mcdaniel, assistant to Pinet,
will go to Wichita to handle the Wich-
ita section, tonight. Miss Grace NJ.
the teacher placement bureau of the
association. will go Tuesday to Salina
to supervise the meeting there. The
convention at Pittsburg will be in
charge of Prof. L. A. Guthridge of the
faculty OF the State Normal Training
school there. Professor Guthridge has
handled the meeting during the past
two years. <
I'm case there is trouble somewhere,
a speaker fails to arrive, or something
of that sort, 1 can handle it easier
from right here in Topeka, than if I
were on the ground. will be in COM
munfcation, by long distance phone,
with all the different sections OF the
convention" Pinet said this morning.
At Salina it may be necessary to
divide the general sessions of the con-
ventiOn, and get additional teachers
if the attendance continues to in
crease, Pinet said.
Trouble In Rooms.
"They are having the same trouble
in getting rooms for the teachers in
all of the cities. Topeka isn't alone
in that" Pinet said in discussing the
room shortage.
The office staff at the Chamber of
Commerce is today receiving the
names and addresses of many women
with rooms which will be available
for the teachers, but there are not
enough rooms yet. and the Chamber
of Commerce is making every effort
to secure additional quarters for the
visiting teachers
There is a special scarcity of rooms
for teachers who will be in Topeka
for only one night, it was reported at
the Chamber of Commerce office.

LIGHT COSTS up
Additional Expense To Be Alb
SOrbed by Edison Company.
Preparations We're Made for
Strike on Railroads.

Cost of producing electric Juice"
to light the homes, stores. and offices
of Topeka has gone up considerably
and will stay at peak price for thirty
days, according to figures made public
today by the Topeka Edison company.
But the increased cost of the juice
will not be reflected in an increased
cost to users. The Edison company
must absorb the loss.
1t is all the fault of the strike
threat, too.
AS explained by A. H. Purdy, man
ager of the Topeka Edison company,
all public utilities must prepare for
strike, whenever railroad workers,
miners, or allied trades threaten walk
out. They must prepare just as tho
the strike We're inevitable and must
gamble By buying up huge supplies of
necessary fuel in order to meet the de-
mand of their patrons if the strike
really materializes.
Costs $1,000 Per Month More.
The railroad strike. which was to
have materialized Sunday advanced
the cost of juice production in Topeka
approximately $1,000 for the month
of November, according to Purdy.
Acting on the Supposition that the
strike would be effective the Topeka
Edison company went ahead and laid
its plans. 1t ordered thirty-day sup
in its fuel tanks at the plant, and
holding the rest in tanks on its own
rails and in the local railroad yards.
The strike threat failed to accomplish
its purpose, the Walk-out order has
been rescinded, and the company
finds itself with forty carloads of fuel
Oil on hand. On Approximately 10
earloads-cars now being held on To-
peka. railway tracks on East Second
street.-the company must pay a
daily car rental of 81 per car, or a
total of $450.
In the railroad yards are thirty car
loads more on which demurrage
charges must be paid. Demurrage
rates are 81 per car per day after the
first rty-eight hours. This rate is
applicable for three days. For this
period the demurrage total will be
$3.50 for the thirty cars.
Then the demurrage rate takes
sudden jump to five dollars per car
per day For the twenty-five days re-
naming on the month the total will
be approximately $3.50 for each car.
This demurrage total of $1,050, plus
$3.50 for the first three-day period,
plus car rental of $50, brings the grand
total to s1,635.
But the Edison company uses ap-
proximately two carloads of fuel oil
each day. AS fast as possible the cars
subject to demurrage will be used up,
SO that each day during the month
the demurrage will be Iessened by ten
dollars.
1t is estimated that at the end of
the thirty day period for which the
Edison company laid in fuel to combat
strike effects. the total loss to the com
pany for car rental and demuErage
will be approximately $1,000.

WORK RESUMED AT PLANT
Fire Damage VIII Not Amount to
S25,O0O. Says IIanlon.

Following the destruction of an un-
used building and a. portion of the
boiler room of the Leo-Greenwald
Vinegar Company's plant at Curtis and
Topeka avenues this morning by fire,
steam was up in the boilers this after
noon, and the work of the plant was
proceeding.
The damage was first estimated at
$4,000. Fire Chief Hanlon. preced-
ing a conference with the officers of
the company this Afternoon, stated
that he did not believe the damage
would be that large. It is understood
that the loss is covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire, which was dis
covered shortlE after midnight, is un-
known. The building which was de-
stroyed had formerly been used as a
grain elevator, but was not in use fol-
lowing the reconstruction of the plant,
