Teaching a child to speak early"
says DR.. Swift, will have a far
reaching effect on the present edu-
c%ational system. When we had no
kindergartens someone saw the ne
cessity of having them to mold the
child's character when it is most
easily nodded. There is no reason
why the thing should not be carried
along still further. If a child can be
taught to speak when IL is six
months old, it will speed UP educa-
ton all along the line"

The program which will be given
during the chautauqua course at Gar
field park the first week in August by
the Cadmean cf1autauqua bureau will
cost between S2,250 and $4,000 and
will be one of the best programs ever
heard in Topeka. The North Topeka
Civic club will receive a per cent of
the proceeds, in return for standing
back of the enterprise and working
for its success, but assuming no part
of the expense.
Among the numbers on the program
are the Old New England Choir. an
organization that has preYen one of

movie actress, who will delight the
children and grownups also; Christian
Mathewson, the we'll known tenor:
Booth Lowry, humorist; the Bland or

lee singers, and Glenn Morris, electri-
cal expert and chemist, who will give
some remarkable exhibitions. These,
with several well known lecturers, will
offer a~selection to suit all tastes, and
it is believed that this chautauqua will
be more extensively patronized than
anything of the kind held in Topeka
in the past. Many tenting reserva-

being taken daily. Fred Buechner of
the North Topeka Civic club, has
charge of these reservations.

CHINA'S DEFAULT
HITS ARMS meet
Shows Economic Questions Are
EntangIed With Other
Problems.
ARMS FARLEY MUST SETTLE
Stress Is Being Laid Upon the Chinese
$5,5oo,ooo Loan Question Among
the Visiting Delegations Now
at Washington.

Washington. Nov. S.-China's de-
fault on the loan of $5,500,000 made
by the Continental and Commercial
Trust and Savings bonk of Chicago
and the attitude of the government of
the United States with respect to the
default have served to emphasize the
fact that among the assembling dele
gates to the conference on the limita-
ton of armament and Pacific problems
the world economic situation Is sub
ject of vital importance.
In the absence of accurate knowl-
edge of the program of this govern
ment on limitation of armament for
the conference the delegates have
found In the economic questions con-
fronting their respective countries a
subject for general discussion. Wheth-
er or not the economic questions can
be kept cut off from official discus
sions of armament Is matter for fu-
ture determination, but present indi-
cations point to the probability that be-
fore the conference adjourns ground
work for an international financial
conference will at least have been
made.
Recognition Not Dealt With.
1t is stated here on high authority
that the note to China ON the CONT
mental and Commercial Trust and Saw
ings bank did not deal directly or in
directly with the question of the rec
ognition of China in the coming con-
ference. On the contrary, the note
was based on the belief that the de-
fault was technical and that negotia-
tons would Immediately be opened
looking to refunding of the loan.
Failure to take this step, 1t was
pointed out, would have an effect on
Chinese credit and prestige, but even
this consequence could be mitigated
If a technical default resulted from a
mere delay in concluding the negotia-
tons.
China Held Up as Example.
Nevertheless, stress Is being laid
upon the Chinese loan question among
the visiting delegations and China Is
being neld up as an example Oh ma
ton facing an economic breakdown
which can only be remedied by inter.
national action Of some kind.
While China offers an extreme eX-
ample, European delegates have no
difficulty in finding a counterpart In
Austria, and there are discussions on
the deterioration of the value OF the
German mark and the Russian ruble.
Each nation represented in Wash
ington is eager and anxious to main
tain It's credit and prestige unimpaired
in the United States and there is con-
siderable urging now going on with
view to bringing economic problems
before the coming conference in some
form.
