 The bill abolishes the office of attor- hey for the State Highway Department, and confers authority of the attorney upon the attorney generals office. An assistant is authorized in the office of the attorney general to care for this work at salary of s2, 400 per year.
 The bill also reduces the assessors fee from 9 cents to 15 cents, on the ground that his work is largely repe- ton of that done by the collector and is compromise on the total elimina tion of assessors fees.

He NEEDED A MATCH
DIR. Graham ChamBers Almost
Starved to Death During Two
Weeks Stay in Woods.

Atikokan, Ont, Oct. 15.-Dr. Graz
ham Chambers, Toronto physician,
rescued after being lost for two weeks
in the woods, almost starved to death
for lack of a match.
DR.. Chambers arrived here last night
on a litter strapped to the bow of a
motorboat. weakened from cold and
hunger. He said he had seen plenty
of partridges and that he had not
lacked ammunition but refrained from
shooting any birds because he was
convinced he could not eat them raw.
When found by two Indians, DR..
Chambers finally had shot partridge,
and was sitting under tree, trying
but vainIy-to force himself to eat the
raw flesh.
His feet were badly b1istered from
tramping thru the bush, tho he said
he had not done much tramping after
the first day when he realized he was
lost and was in danger of going further
into the woods. He said one of the
airmeh engaged in the search for him
had flown over the spot where he was
Standing, but he was unable to at
tract the flier'S attention.

CALL IT KANSAS CANCER"
Growth on Face Caused by Sum
and Wind Given Local Name by
Laboratory Men.

Altho the ultimate cause of cancer
is as much a mystery as ever, sur
geons are convinced that certain con-
ditions favor their growth. One fac
tor that is more and more being
recognized as a starting point for can
Ger is continued irritation at some
point.
When the medical missionaries first
went to China they were puzzled at
the frequency of cancer of the throat
in the Chinese men while the women
seemed immune. The cause, they are
now convinced, is irritation from eat
ing hot rice. The men eat at the first
table and bolt their rice hot off the
fire, while the women eat at the sec
ond table and eat cool rice and escape
the cancer.
There is a type of cancer of the face
that Kansas City laboratory men have
dubbed the kansas cancer" on ac-
count of its prevalence in the. clear
prairie States. Most of these cases
arise on the face of men with thin
skins and fair complexions and are
caused by the Irritation of the sun S
rays on those living in the open air.
These cancers begin with a small scab
that does not heal and often does not
turn malignant for years but finally
begins to spread and eat deeper and
is then a malignant growth. These
are durable with surgery and x-rays
if taken in time

Standing all day, or sitting in eramped
positions and often with wet feet, young
girls contract deranged conditions, and
before they are hardly aware of it they
develop headaches, backache, irregular
tiles, nervousness and bearing down

woman's ills. If every mother who has
a daughter suffering from such symp-
toms would profit by the experience Of

she may expect the same happy result.

Cleveland Funeral Director.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 15.-Unless
more persons die annually in the
United States the cost of turning up

beyond will continue to be an expen-
sive luxury, according to the report of
Hal Miller of Cleveland, funeral di-
rector and chairman of the committee
from the National Funeral Directors
association, named to confer with flu
neral equipment manufacturers about
prices, made before the convention
here.
Miller told the funeral men that the

country, made cheaper burial impos-
sible.

DROP in PRICE NASH q"
Today's Cut Comes as Surprise to
Motor Car Industry.

Coming as distinct surprise to
those in the automobile industry most
familiar with motor car values is the
announcement of the Nash Motors
company of a sweeping reduction in
prices of all models of the Nash four.
The passenger touring car has
been reduced $3.50. making the new
price S1,O45; the two-passenger road
ster now sells for s1,025; the three
passenger coupe $1,645, and the five
passenger sedan $1,S35.
These prices are ali f. O. b. Mil
waukee, and are effective Immediately.
When the Nash four went into pro-
duction a little over year ago the
touring car was priced at S1.395, the
coupe sold for $1,9S5 and the sedan
for $2185.

From a squalid, miserable eye-sore
known as Heirs Half Acre" there
has been evolved, in a little more than
two years, East1aWn park. one of the
most interesting civic projects COM
p1eted in ~ropeka in many years.
Eastlawn park is a beauty spot today,
but in 1919 there was no more unat-
tractive place in Topeka.
Children play in the park now. Be
fore it was built they played in the
streets or in the filthy yards and
shacks that constituted "Hen's Half
Acre" Grass, flowers and trees that
will mean restful shade in a few years,
greet the eyes now, in contrast to the
dnapidation and trash Of former years.
The contrast of before and after" is
wildly shown in the accompanying
photographs.
Work Completed This Year.
The transportation of "Helrs Half
Acre" was completed in the spring of
this year under the direction of Park
/ Commissioner Robert y. McGiffert and
Park Superintendent E. F. A. Rein
isch. The transformation into beauty
| spots of unattractiye places and the
furnishing of places for children to
play, are two big ideals of the park
commissioner. When some persons
with a different idea of parks sug-
gested that he place expensive nonu-

TO HELP EX-SERVICE men
President Harding Gives Them Prefer
ence in Postal Service.

Harding today took steps to make the
way easier for those who served in
the world war to secure appointment
in the postal service.
The president issued an executive
order providing that five points shall
be added to the earned rating of all
young men and women who had war
service, who are now seeking presi-
Dental postal appointments. The
order also waived all age limits for
these persons and permits the time
they spent in service to be counted in
their rating as business experience"

Created Benefit District.
Those who owned property facing
the old 'HeIl's Half Acre" had
splendid part in the creation of the
park. when they created a benefit dis
trict, pro rating the cost of acquiring
the land among themselves, under the
energetic leadership of S. Cunning
ham, grocer, at Eighth and Lake
streets. The cemetery association
gave $500 toward the cost of making
the park, as the park is on the route
to the cemetery. The material in the
disreputable old buildings was sold by
the city. When the gift of the land
by the citizens was made, the con-
tribution of the cemetery association
was also made. and the sale of the
junk heap of material from the old
buildings brought in d considera bic
amount. the park costing the city only
a little more than $1,v50

Washington. Oct. 15.-Confidence
