what is known as the buyers strike.
What, somebody may ask, are we buy

ply is that we are striking for shorter

within IS hours, in the belief of officials
at the Naval observatory here.
The present spot or group OF spots on
the lace or the sun, estimated by NaNai
observatory officials as $4,000 miles in
length and 2l,000 in latitude, was near
est the earth Saturday night, and Sun
day, through rotation of the sun, was
moving away from the solar meridian.
Naval observatory officials said yes
terday that, leaving out OF consideration
the decreasing effect of the spots on
electrical currents on the earth through
the usual breaking up of the spots, the
regular rotation of the sun on It's axis
would, within q few days, carry the
spots SO far from the earth as to make
their influence negligible.
The spots now on the face OF the sun,
and which We're visible to the naked
eye Sunday with the use of smoked
glass, were first photographed at the
Naval observatory last Monday when
the rotation of the sun brought that
side of the solar body within view.
The spots at that time, according to
DR. G.. III. Peters, were about one and a
half to two days old The following day
the photographs showed the spots to be
much agitated, the gaseous vapors OF
which they are composed resembling a
cYclOnic storm on the earth, Or. Pet
crs said
Saturdays photograph, taken about
noon, showed the spots to be on the So
lar meridian Naval observatory Off
Gals said that presence of such large
grogp of spots at this time was most
unusual as the prevalence OF the spots
move in an ll-year cycle and the apex
of prevalence occurred about four years
ago.

Predominant British authority adds to
ocean nomenclature the names of four
great intercOntinental incloSed seas-the
Arctic Sea, the Central American or West
Indian Sea, the Australia Asiatic or Malay
Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Thus we
have the watersurface Of the globe earth
divided into seven seas. 1t is curious in
view of this British treatment of ocean
ography that the Century Encyclopaedia

Seas asserts that the name was taken
from the seven oceans; The North At

South Pacific, Arctic Antarctic and Med
lterranean.
Seven is more or less standardized a.
the classic number. One can but suspect
that authors and mythologists have occa-
sionally pondered long to devise reason or
excuse for using it. THE seven seas" if
it attains general usage as an expression,

WANTS REFORM IN KILLING.
Society Says Cattle Suffer Mental
Anguish" i'm Seeing Others Slain.


Cattle suffer mental anguish" when
they see one another slaughtered at
abattoirs, according to officials of the
American society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, which soon will
sponsor legislation to have each animal
killed outside the presence of others.
Hogs, sheep and other dumb meat pro-
ducers likewise arc terrorized by such
practices, the society contends
Among the reforms which the orsani-
cation viii seek TO effect by legislation
is abolishing of the practice of cast
ing animals before slaughter. This
consists of binding their hind legs with
rope or chain and then hauling them up
with a windlass SO that their head and
foreTarts suspend downward. While
dangling III this position the throats of
the beasts are cut. the society asserts.
1t is argued that such practices cause
the animals to suffer, and that the only
humane and proper way to slaughter
them is ny first stunning with q sledge

BURY |. AND R. BILL
House judiciary Committee
Holds Funeral Service Today.
No Mercy Shown for Direct
Rule Proposal.

The initiative and referendum has
had another more or less decent burial.
Members of the house judiciary COM
mittee conducted short but impressive
services today over the remains of
Representative Harrington's proposal
to let the people rule direct from the
farm and blacksmith shop.
Kansas legislatures started Staying
initiative and referendum proposals
away back in 1911. In those days the
1. and R. was dear to the hearts of
Bill White and Roscoe Stubbs and VIC
Murdock. But after frequent discour-
agement, these promoters of the plan
to boss the lawmaking business and
still stay at home, have directed their
efforts along new channels. Since 1917
it rather looked as tho Kansas had ef-
fectively dismissed the plan.
Then Representative Harrington
came to Topeka from Cove county.
Being a Democrat and impressed with
important unfinished business of for
ner sessions. he presented the I. and
r. plan as a needed patch on the pres
ent state constitution. Harrington's S
resolution went to the judiciary COM
mittee. That committee is composed
of lawyers who are given but mildly to
the sentimental things of life. So to-
day they took a chance on crushing
the ambitions of the Cove county
member by killing his plan to make
the constitution a better document to
live under.

LAST BIC FIGHT
Senate Due to Stage Battle Over
Foreign Policy.
Army and Navy Appropriations
Bill "Casus BelIi."

Washington, Feb. 24.-The last big
fight of this congressional session
involving Americas future prepared
policy-was about to start in the SEN
ate today.
Cause of the battle lay in the army
and navy appropriations bill. Con-
sideration of the army bill began to-
day.
From Two Sources.
Opposition to the bills came from
two sources:
1-Senators who are demanding
that an army bill CT S362.214.S06 and
a navy bill of s496, 6,023,130 miss widely
the mark of economy.
2-Other elements led by Senator
Borah who declared that world con-
dition demands steps toward disarm-
ament.
This group announced it will insist
on a show down in the disarmament
question, asserting the world would
doubt Americas willingness to dis
arm if the two appropriations bills
were passed in their present state.
Senator Borah served notice today
that he would move to suspend the
rules that he might amend the naval
bill with call for disarmament con-
ference.

BARRIERS Union Has Not Consid-
cred Reduction.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 25.-Prices
for haircuts and shaves took a slump
here today when the Grand Opera
house barber shop announced a 10
cent and 5 cent reduction respec-
lively.
Shampoos. messages and tonics hit
the tobogean for declines of 10 and 1 5
cents each.
Other shops are expected to an
nounce similar reductions.
No prospects of a reduction in the
price of shaves and haircuts in To-
peka are in view. according to local
BARRIERS today. The BARRIERS union
controls prices here and there has
been no talk of any reduction, it was
declared. The non-union shops also
denied an intention of lowering prices.
The cost of materials has not de-
creased. it was contended, and there
fore the prices of head and facial
must remain.

WILL Be UNITED
Cooperation To Be keynote OF
Harding's Reign
Democrats Charge Senat
Oligarchy in the Saddle.

Washington. Feb. 25.-Co-operation
is to be the keynote of the Harding
administration, according to Harry NJ.
Daugherty. Harding's chief lieutenant
in carrying out the plan.
Daugherty went to his home in Co
lumbus, Ohio today but will return to
Washington Tuesday to. resume con-
ferences with leading Republican SEN
ators.
'It is to be the realest sort of CO.
operation" said Daugherty. 1T is to
be cooperation that will concede to
other men in this government and ma
ton some ability, some insight, some
experience worth having. 1t will
never, while Harding is in office, be g
one-man government"
Harding is said to have told sena-
tor who recently called on him:
81 intend to be friends with con-
gress; 1 know congress is willing to be
friends with me. Together we wtl
get things done: apart we shall merely
create trouble"
Daugherty has confined his confer
ences while here. almost entirely to
senators.
1.-The senate's oligarchy is getting
ready to function as never before" say
Democrats.
, "Hokum!" say Republicans.
Daugherty says he conferred with
senators principally because his bust
ness was with senator's
