The joy of living on a glorious
spring day was sufficient today for
most people. But there was no par
ticular Joy in living for a fourteen
year-old boy at Christ's hospital.
The boy is cheerful.
He never complains
But he has a great longing that the
spring air coming in his window and
the spring blossoms beside his bed
cannot ease. His great desire is for
something scarcely anyone would ask.
He wants a wooden leg.
Life has been lived mostly on
crutches by the boy. With the aid of
his crutches he has hobbled around
since he was quite small. One of his
legs grew normally but the other leg
did not grow rapidly enough below
the knee to give him ability to walk
as others do. The deformed leg
panied him and troubled him almost
beyond endurance.
Last summer he suffered with every
foot of ground he covered as he went
to his worA in the basket factory in
North Topeka. AS long as he was
able to work, however. he was just
about as happy as anybody. After
the basket factory closed he found
little odd jobs to occupy him. Pretty
soon. tho, it was SO hard for him to
get around and he walked SO slowly
that no one could employ him.
His parents couldn't give him the
care he needed. In his desperation
he went to the Public. Health Nursing

association. He had heard of the
work of the nurses who go about town
wearing the "P. H. N" armband.
Right away the boys case was turned
over to a physician and then to a sur
geon. The deformed leg has been
amputated. He stood the operation
well and will leave the hospital in a
very short time, and the old crutches
will serve again.
But the good angels of the Public
Health Nursing association cannot
supply the boys greatest want. much
as they would like to.
"Oh, if just had wooden leg, I'd
be as good as anybody" is the bur-
den of the boys existence. He con-
ffded in his nurse that he'd been prom
ised good job" if hefinally was able
to get around all right.
The good job" he has been prom
ised is bottling plant. His souls
desire to be able to hold down that
good job"i But a matter of $125
stands in the way of gratifying him.
The wooden leg he should have will
afford it. The nursing association
cannot spend so much on one patient.
Who will help him be las good as
anybody" and get the good job"
Anyone who feels that he can con-
tribute to such a cause may well feel
that he has accomplished good job"
The Lame Boy Fund" hereby estab-
lished by The State Journal is a plan
to help him get "as good as anybody"
Who will be the first to contribute?

MAY STICK ON JOB
Harding's Chances for Vacation
Depend on Congress.
Has Scores of Offers of a s'Sum-

Washington. March 25.-President
Harding is being besieged with scores
of offers of summer White House
from all parts of the country. it was
revealed at the White House today.
President Harding, however, it was
stated definitely, has accepted none of
the invitations, realizing that his vaca-
ton will depend largely on whether
congress takes a recess.
He may be forced to spend the sum-
mer here in case congress decides that
it must remain on the job and rush
the work of revising the tariff and
revenue laws. Harding desires to
spend part of the summer away from
the Washington heat, if public BUSH
ness will permit.
Friends of the president and the
cabinet have suggested that official
Washington summer along the shores
of Long Island. Among the numerous
vacation offers to Harding is one
from his friend DIR. Albert H. Ely,
who accompanied him on his FLORIDA
trip and has home at Southampton,

To CLOSE DEPICTS
Kansas Railroads Would Cut
Cost of Operation.
One Hundred Stations Would

The first of a long list of applica-
tons affecting operation of small town
railroad stations is being passed upon
today by the public utilities commits
sion. Railroads have sought to reduce
operating expenses by closing nearly
100 stations in Kansas. Nearly forty
cases will be determined in orders to
be issued by the commission during
the day.
Carriers claim freight and passenger
revenues from a number of these sta
lions have declined and that gross
operating revenues have shrunk until
it is not advisable to maintain the
stations. In a number of instances,
the roads showed, revenues from the
towns failed to pay the expense of
maintaining a station agent. A num-
Der of telegraphers as we'll as station
agents would be removed from small
town service by virtue of approval of
the applications,
Members of the commission are in
session today regarding the individual
cases. A separate order will doubtless
be issued affecting most Of the appli-
cations. In a number of cases the
railroads contended that salaries rang
ing from s1t8 to $14o a month were
necessary in order to secure teleg-
raphers, altho only two or three hours
work a day was necessary.
Information received by the Kansas
commission indicates that the rail-

BEGIN VAN D0RP TRIAL
Topeka Timer Faces Charge O.
White Slavery.

'hAsO
Joe Walters printer. 1903 East
Eighth avenue. gave up in despair
this morning at the preliminary of
Howard Van Dorp, charged with white
slavery, in the city court.
Walters was a witness for the state
and nearly every time he started to
answer a question put to him by
Tinkham Veale, county attorney,
Hugh Fisher and J. E. Addington, at
torneys for Van Dorp, objected.
Il don't know anything" Walters
finally groaned. why have you
anything, I'm losing valuable time"
Van Dorp is charged on two counts
with taking Mrs. H. p. Little, 1109
Brooks avenue, from her home to 1905
Seward avenue, and on one count with
taking her to Kansas City for immoral
purposes. The house on Seward ave-
nue. was the home of Mrs, J. Byers,
Walters mother-in-law. Walters and
Mrs. Walters testified that they had
seen Mrs. Little and Van Dorp at the
Byers home. They said Mrs. Byers
had introduced Mrs. Little to them as
Mrs. Wilson," and that she, in turn.
introduced Van Dorp as my husband.
Mr.. Wilson"
I Dan Harmon. 1927 Jackson street.
a street car conductor, testified that
MRS. Little got on MS car at the santa
Fe depot one day, about the time the
train came in from the east, with a
man\ not her husband, but said he
was not sure it was Van Dorp.
Walters testified that the day Van
Dorps trial was called and continued.
several weeks ago, he went to Van
DorpS tin shop to see him and try
to get him to 'let the old woman
(Mrs. Byers) alone, so we could get
her back" Mrs. Byers had gone to
Salt Lake City, evidence showed.
Walters said he told Van Dorp he
| could lick him." when the tin shop
proprietor showed fight.
Little sat on one side of the table,
behind Veale, and Van Dorp sat on
the other, behind his attorneys. Little
frequently smiled and stole an\amused
glance at Van Dorp. Van Dorp's
contenance was serious, except when
walters related the alleged fight epi-
sode. Mrs Little and all other wit
nesses were excluded from the court
room. Mrs. Little was brought to the
door three different time for Walters,
Mrs Walters and Harmon to see and
identify as the woman they had seen.
Van Dorp's attorney pleaded for a
continuance on the ground that they
were not ready for trial The testi-
mony of the three witnesses was taken,
however, and the case then continued
until Tuesday. 1t is probable that it
will be again postponed at that time.

CUT DOWN ON MILLING
Kansas Flour Makers Ask for Sus-
pension rs Per Cent Order.

Small town millers are beginning to
feel the strain of uncertain marketing
conditions. In consequence score of
applications have been sent to the
court of industrial relations asking
suspension of the regulation requiring
rs per cent capacity operation.
Many of the millers are unable to
market their output as rapidly as flour
and other food products are manufac-
tured. The situation is in a large de-
gree similar to one which confronted
Topeka millers several months ago.
Under the Industrial court act, tho.
the millers are required to operate rs
per cent capacity except where per-
mits are issued for reduced output.
The petitions now being sent to To-
peka seek suspension Of the existing
regulation and ask for relief from
compulsory operation regulations.

THAT GOAT IS HOME AGAIN
Festive Animal Escaped Three
Times Before She Was Placed in
Owners Basement.

Remember the story in The State
Journal last night about the goat
that escaped from q family in the
Melrose neighborhood? How the
neighbors, postmen, icemen, and all
callers were enlisted in the search
for the animal?
Here is today's chapter:
The goat was reported at Polk
school shortly after the home edition
OF The State journal was out last
evening. The owner telephoned for a
truck. When the driver arrived the
goat was gone. A few minutes later
how that goat did travel,-ft was
reported from Quinton Heights Here
it was captured and taken home to
Melrose After about a half hour of
confinement the animal again broke
loose. Again the neighborhood gave
chase in motor cars and baby buggies.
The goat was surrounded in Rose
acres. This time it was chained.
Just before dark last evening she
l broke loose again and in running
away from the pursuing crowd was
ner of Tenth and College avenue. The
front wheel of the car went squarely
over the goats neck and the shocked
| onlookers expected to carry home the
/ corpse.
But what is a motor car to festive
goat?
She turned over a few times, caught
her breath, kicked a wicked hoof,
leaped to her feet and was off with
greater speed than ever. At dark she
was captured at Ills Taylor street
| and spent a perfectly wretched night
| in the basement of the owner.
Pending further developments the
goat will live in the basement.
The Melrose neighborhood is rest
