Sokols Fostered Czech Esprit Of '76"
Prepared By
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

1.-THE coming of a delegation of
Sokol Gymnastic Societies from
Czechoslovakia to the United States
has a deeper interest than that at
taching to an international athletic
event. Europe's newborn republic
is sending to the far older republic
of the New World a representation
from an organization which had
much to do with keeping alive a ma
tional spirit against the day when
she seized her opportunity for indie
p~endence."
With this comment the National
Geographic Society issues the fol-
lowing bulletin explaining the his
torical significance of the Sokol So
cieties:
THE delegation of Sokols from
Czechoslovakia to the Chicago con-
vention r repaying the visit made
by many American Sokols who went
to Prague last year, each of them
bearing food drafts so that their
presence in Prague would not be
more of an embarrassment than a
help. A ggroup of American Sokols
met at the castle crowned hill where
the March and the Danube unite
there draped Old Glory over a
Millennial Monument, which was
by the Magyars to comment
crate the establishment of the Hun
garian state by Stephen the First
997. ,
Revielle to National Spirit
The founding of the Sokol organi
cation in Bohemia was the sounding
of the Reveille to a slumbering ma
ton. Czech nationality in 1862 was
somnolent. Even friends of the
HUSTLE people despaired of its re-
gaining its sense of freedom. The
enemies of the race which produced
Comenius openly sneered at the low
estate to which the once proud ma
ton had fallen.
Then came Miroslav Tyrs and
Jindrich Fugner, who conceived as
a means of awakening their race the
establishment of an organization
which would escape the antagonism
of the Hapsburg oppressors while
cementing the people into a unit by
training them in discipline and or
~ganization.
THE Sokols. or falcons. derive
their name from a Slav legend in
which that bird typiies a spirited
and courageous youth. The organ
ization is Slavic in conception and it
has so far aided in energizing sue
cessive Slavic groups.

SENATOR BROWNS ANNOUNCEMENT

Senator Browns announcement that he Will
not seek a renomination this fall comes as a
surprise. A second term is usually sought by
most candidates as much for a vindication for
themselves as anything else. They have their
record to stand on and when that record is a
good one, as Senator Browns is, they have a
strong card. Likewise, the man in Office always
has advantages over the other fellow on the
outside.
There is no doubt, therefore, had Senator
Brown chosen to run again he would have given
his opponent q hard race. That he does not

A number of years ago I learned
these two rules, which were Of value

A number of years ago I learned
these two rules, which were of value
to me:
Do not worry about the things
that you a help.
DO not worry about the things
which you cannot help.
They are good rules.
If there is anything about which
you are disposed to worry, help it,
and save the necessity for worry.
If there is anything about which
you cannot help, worry will not
avert the evil, and may lessen your
strength for the inevitable.
There are people who are a curse
to their friends because they can
face no possible situation without
futile and harmful worry.
But on the other hand, it should
be remembered, that there are some
situations which need some one to
worry about them.
1t worried Columbus that no
could be made to believe that the
earth was round.
1t worried George Washington
that the colonies were starting on

HEALTH THE KEYNOTE TO BEAUTY

Beauty means so much to women
power, social triumph, admiration and
love. Beauty implies good health. Who
ever saw a woman racked with pain,
struggling with or disease, who
could be called beautiful? The woman of
today in this high-strung nervous age is
continually OVERRIDING, with the result that
ills peculiar to her sex develop which. un-
checked, will ruin all chances for her
happiness. The natural restorative for
such ailments is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, which for more than
forty years has been recognized as a STAN
dard remedy for women's ills, and has
lone much to relieve pain and restore
good health to women.-Adv.

Knapp Issues Warning
To Kansas Legislators
Former State Auditor Quotes Figures Showing Increase
in State Expenses of 400 Per Cent in Last Eighteen
Years-Requests Legislators to Beware of
Campaign Propaganda.

Fred w. Knapp. former state audi
tor. issued a warning to state legisla-
tors to beware of propaganda cam
paigns for excessive state appropria-
tions. He quoted figures to show that
in the eighteen years since beginning
of the Bailey administration, the in
crease in state expense has been near
ly 400 per cent.
In his figures, Knapp divides the
administrations of the various Kansas
governors and gives annual direct and
Indirect state taxations He denies
statements by state officials that ap-
preparations were held down during
the war. He shows an increase of
more than two million dollars in ex-
penses for 1918 and for 1920 and near
ly three millions over 1917. The bare
figures are given without an analysis
of the buying power of the dollar dur
ing the war period.
Warns Legislature.
Knapp warns the legislature to be
careful. In his statement he says:
ITO one who has been on the in
side looking out and is now on the
outside looking in it is really anus
ing to see the strong-arm methods
which are being used to force the leg
islature to loosen up the purse-strings
and provide big appropriations. To
oppose this program means to be
dubbed a 'hold-back' or a 'tight-wad'
or a 'Nonpartisan Lacquer by the
Kansas City Star and some of the adj
ministration leaders! This noise is
not new to the experienced legislator
but it may fool some of the new ones.
"A systematic effort seems to have
been made to create the impression
that all the state institutions were
about ready to tumble down and that
unless this legislature came to the
rescue, the state schools and other
institutions would almost be obliged
to suspend business

not create some more expensive

Only Five Vote'for Change in

Crusading isn't a lost art in Kansas
by any means. Some of the warriors
who have helped keep the state in the
straight and narrow path since the
days of Carrie Nation went before the
joint judiciary and welfare commit
tees of the house in their attack on
the Kimbal1-Brown cigaret bill. And
their campaign was effective, too. At
the end there were just five commit
tee members who voted to recommend
the bill.
The Kimball-Brown measure didn't
repeal the cigaret law. 1t permitted
adults TO buy cigarets and to smoke
them. But it required dealers to pro-
vide bonds and bonds were subject to
forfeiture when sales were made to
minors. Since the opening of the seS-
sion the legislature has been flooded
with petitions protesting against the
bill.

tive Walter f. (Buster) Brown and

years been active in the reform cam
paigns in this state.
