HOW EUROPE SETTLES BALANCES.

How has Europe been able to continue to Dur chase goods in the United States at the rate she has been buying when purchases from across the Atlantic are relatively small? How has she bee settling the three and four biIlion-dolar annuai balances? These questions that are frequentI, asked. The shipment of four hundred mlone in gold to this country last year only partly answer them.
 The greater portion of the balances to the United states have been settled by the sale in this country of foreign securities Hundreds o millions of South American national and municipal bonds bank and trust company stocks, transportation and industrial securities formerly held in Europe have been sold in the United States or paid for with money borrowed in this country.

FLORA TELLS OF WEATHER
Rotarians Are Now Glad They Live

Rotarians Are Now Glad They Live
in Kansas.
After hearing S. D. Flora, the wealth
er man, address them at their regular
weekly luncheon at the Chamber of
Rotarians are mighty glad they live
in Kansas.
All of the common ills and supersti-
lions about Kansas insofar as weather
conditions are concerned, including
hot weather, hot winds, dry spells,
storms and tornadoes, were swept
away by the weather man, and il
there was any one present who had
ever said mean things about the eli
mate Of this great commonwealth,
they went away sorry and repentant.
Flora talked about Kansas, its
weather and how the latter is made
and where it comes from. explained
just how the forecasts are fixed up
and promised the Rotarians that there
would be no rain next Thursday when
the club is going on a picnic at the
Boys Industrial school.
Just now Kansans think it is hot,
but Flora declared that feeling was
more due to mental attitude than any
thing else. caused somewhat by the
weather dope that appears in the
newspapers, and asked the Rotarians

states, and swelter under a hotter sun
and fight away mosquitoes which he
described as big as potatoes" Not
only is it cooler here. the weather man
said, but he called attention to the
matter of money that must be paid to
the Santa Fe and the $40 per day hotel
rates that are incidental to taking a
trip. Then he gave the temperatures
in number of other places just to
show that Kansas is not such a bad
place after all.
They say that Kansas has drouths
and it was a. common calamity howl
years ago." said Flora, but my rec
ords show that the rainfall for eastern
Kansas is greater than that of any
other state in the union with the ex-
ception of four states along the Gulf
coast.
You have also heard that Kansas
has cyclones and tornadoes, but Kan
sas has no more of them than Illinois
and Iowa, and Kansas has no more

KILLED IN MD AIR
Four Persons Aboard Plane
Which Exploded ON High.
Were Making First Trip in New
Aerial BuSS.

Modesto. Cal, July 14.-Four per-
sons, including Harold (Bud) Coffee,
well known aviator. were killed here
today when a Jacuzzi monoplane, in
which they were making a flight
from Yosemite valley to Oakland, ex-
ploded six hundred feet in the air and
crashed in the heart of the city here.
The explosion tore the wings off
the plane and it fell like a plummet
to the street, on the edge of city
park. The plane was a mass of
flames and was completely wrecked
by the crash.
Identification of the victims was
difficult but local friends of Coffey,
who were quickly on the scene, i'm
mediately recognized his body. 1t
was reported the other persons in
the plane were Rachelle Jacuzzi,
John Kauke, and A. McLeash, but
Identification was not definite.
The plane, on Tuesday, established
a record by flying from Oakland and
landing on the floor of Yosemite val
ley in two hours. 1t was owned and
built by Jacuzzi brothers of Berkeley
and they had hoped to establish a
regular passenger service to Yosemite
valley.

ASK COURT FOR THEIR CHILD
Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Fitzgerald
Want Possession of Daughter.

Habeas corpus proceedings were
brought in the district court Wednes-
day by Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Fitz-
gerald, OF Kansas City, to recover pos
session of their s-months-old daugh-
ter, Arnetta, now in possession of Mr..
and Mrs. George McCabe. The hear
ing was set for O'Clock this morning,
but was continued until o'clock this
afternoon.
While travelling with a carnival COM
pany, Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald left the
baby with Mrs. J. H. Baird at the
Palace hotel in Lyons, Kan. McCabe
was then a merchant at that town.
He and his wife wanted to adopt a
baby and being told that Arnetta was
homeless and supposedly abandoned
by her parents, formally adopted the
child in the Rice county probate court.
Later they came to Topeka and are
now staying with Mrs. McCabe's
brother, Dale Ebright, 720 Lawrence
street.
Returning to Lyons for their little
daughter. the Fitzgeralds found she
had been adopted by Mrs. McCabe and
brought to Topeka. They then came
here and started the habeas corpus
proceedings. They declared they had
agreed to pay Mrs. Baird for taking
care OF the child and had merely left
her there a short time because it was
impractical to take her on the road
with them.
They accompanied the officers to
the Ebright home when the sub
poenas were served. Mrs. Fitzgerald
wept when she saw her baby thru the
screen door. Sitting in the court room
this morning, across the room from
the McCabes, the young mother would
gaze longingly at her little one lying
in Mrs. McCabes arms, then bury her
face in her handkerchief and weep.

was guilty of moral perjury" even
tho there was nothing on which to
base a charge of legal perjury. Re-
Gently officers of the company ex-
pressed their resentment against the
charge and asserted they had shown
good faith in their testimony. They
also asserted that Reed would be Civ
en- chance to prove his charge in a
court of competent jurisdiction.
Now employees of the operating end

We have found our employers and
supervisors to be honest and square
in their dealings with us; they have
taught us, as employees, to be sociable
and always willing to try and please
the public as a whole. We ask you
as chief executive of the state of
which we are all citizens, to see that
we get a square deal in the future"
Governor Allen will be asked for
an expression regarding the protest of
the employees when the letter is pre-
