THEY LEARNED ABOUT PENS
Rotarians Know Now About the Foun
tain Type.

Col Z. A. Havers, veteran of the
A. E. F., affiliated with the Water
man Fountain Pen company. of New
York, proved to the Topeka Rotarians
today, with a couple of dozen of stere-
oscopic slides and two reels of moving
picture films, that the pen is mightier
than the sword.
Colonel Havers is a traveller who
has seen every corner of the globe,
has crossed the Atlantic seventy times,
and has delved deep into the archie
illogical lore of the Orient and of
Palestine.
He traced the development of man.
kind, in his talk and with his pictures
from prehistoric times, to the present
emphasizing at every point the effect
on civilization which has been had
by the art of writing, and the instruz
ments which have been employed in
that art.
His film showed the every process
in manufacture of fountain pens from
the gathering of the rubber in the
forests of South America to the fin
ishing and packing of the pens them
selves in this country. The Rotarians
SWeltered a bit in the closed and dark
ened room, but were held by their in
terest in the words of the speaker
who himself is a Rotarian.
Preliminary to the talk on pens, two
new members were introduced to the
club-Corneiius B. E. Vancn and E.
E. Brayman. The Rev. John Wells
Rahill made a brief talk with the Ro-
tary motto, He Profits Most Who
Serves Best" as his text, and the case
of the Near East Relief, in its cam
paign this week for collecting old
clothes for the benefit of the sufferers
in Armenia, was presented by DR.. E.
j. Kulp.
The Rotary Glee club met for prac-
tice before the luncheon, and furnishe ed
music in addition to the singing by the
club for the program.
At the close of the luncheon there
was presented to every Rotarian pres
ent, copy of the "Oasaycap Chron-
icle,' the magazine issued monthly by
the Boys Industrial school.
The issue distributed today is a me-
mortal number. dedicated to the Ro-
tary clubs of the state in appreciation
of the work which they have done for
the boys in the school.

TO HIKE GAS COST
And Use Extra Two Cents to
Improve Victory Highway.
Is Plan of Retail Dealers in
Uintah Basin, Utah.

In the Uintah Basin, of ,Utoh, trav-
ersed by the Victory Highway, motor
lists. with the consent of the majority
of them are to be taxed 2 cents per
gallon of gasoline for the maintenance
OF the road
George w. Stansfield, president of
the association, has been advised that
retail dealers in gasoline in the Uintah
Basin are going to tack cents per
gallon onto the price of the gas they
sell, and the money thus raised is to
be used for the upkeep of the Victory
Highway. This action has been taken
as a result of a decision of the dealers
themselves. It will make fund OF
about $500 per month available for
the maintenance of the road thru the

The activity in road improvement
set forth has followed close upon the
installation of Victory highway road
edFns. according to Stansfield.
THE interest shown in the Victory
highway thru the Uintah basin IN
Utah" said President Stansfleld TINS
morning. proves conclusively to me
that within a couple of years the VIC
tory highway will be the most popular
of transcontinental routes. The re-
suit of traffic count by secretary
Reshel, of the Utah State Automobile
club, during the summer of 1871
shows that while the greatest volume
of travel into Salt Lake flowed over
the Lincoln highway, the victory
highway stood second with only
slightly less number of machines.
THE plans of the Victory highway
"A association. so far as Topeka is con-
cerned, will be presented to the board
of directors of the Topeka Chamber
of Commerce at lunch FRIDAY ana
their endorsement formally requested.
THE work of signing the Victory
highway is progressing most sausfac-
torily. the road signing truck now be-
ing at Denver BY the latter part OF

HEAD TURNS DOWN
SHIP BOARD BERTH

Washington, June 2-Walter G. Tea
gle. president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey today elm
irated himself from those under con-
sideration by Pres. Harding for chair
man of the Shipping Board.
Having learned that his name had
been placed before the president as 4
possibility for the position, Mr.. Tea
Gle came to Washington and inform
ed Mr.. Harding he regretted that cir
cumstances made it impossible at
this time for him to consider sever
ance of his connection with the Stand
ard Oil Company.
The development promised to delay
again the submission of nominations
for membership on the board to the
Senate. The president had hopes "a
close the whole matter this week, but
it was indicated after the interview
with Mr.. eTagle that there would be
another delay
Mr.. Teagle is the second prominent
business man who is understood to
have read himself out of the prcsi-
dents list of available men for the
board craftsmanship. The other is
James 4. Farrell, president of the
United States Steel Corporation who,
1t is believed, was seriously under
consideration for the appointment
but whose friends have indicated that
he would not accept it, if offered.
