settlement. 1t was in 1884 that
Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony in America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established little colony
on Roanoke island. There in
1887 was born the first Ameri-
can child of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported, and after few years
persisted. 1t vas not until over
century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and greater number Of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town of Newburn in ITO. By
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch-Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today its population en-
titles 1t to twelve electoral votes

of the causes that led to her attach
ment for Miles
Employees of the Behr estate declare

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 23.-The
special session of the grand jury was
charged Monday afternoon by Judge
w. w, Wa1ling in the Forty-fifth dis
trict court to investigate the activities
of the Ku Klux Khan.
Judge Walling launched into a
TRADE against the organization and
said he was alone responsible for de-
handing the jury to consider the
proposition, and If the Khan wanted
to retaliatc, to take measures against
him.
You all know of the French revo-
luton" he said land the Ku Klux
Khan movement is just one step this
side of anarchy. The Bolsheviki and
soviets, at least, think that they have
a government and are working to at
tain an ideal such as they see, but the
Khan is simply working against the
government"
Under the law homicide is some
times justifiable, Judge Walling de-
clared, and if any masked or I'M
masked men make threats, citizen
has the right to shoot to kill to pro-
tect himself.

FEWER Die IN KANSAS
Deaths In Six Months Number S,942 |
Compared With 1925 Last Year.

Deaths In Six Months Number S,942
Compared With 1925 Last Year.
Is Kansas producing a generation of
centenarians?
This question is asked by DR..
Charles H. Lerrigo. chief of the divi-
sion of vital statistics of the state
board of health. And the reason is
that deaths for the first six months
of 1921 We're but S,942 as compared
with II, 295 in the same period a year
ago. This is a death rate of five per
thousand for the half year. If this
rate be maintained indefinitely it
means ten death annually per thou
sand population and the average per-
son will live to be one hundred years
old.
Doctor Lerrigo is not disposed to be-
lieve that the tabled fountain of youth
has been discovered in Kansas, hut he
lions are apparently SO good.
A tabulation of deaths from the
principal diseases for the first six
months of 1921 shows several striking
features. In the first place, there
were eleven deaths from smallpox in
the first half of this year as compared
to three deaths in the entire year 1920.
Calling attention to these figures. Doc
tor Lerrigo issues a warning that re-
newed precautions must be taken
against this Virulent disease which
was supposed to be practically stamp
ed out.
A more encouraging feature is the
decrease in deaths from tuberculosis,
from sos in the first six months of
1920 to 400 in the corresponding
period of this year. Deaths from in
fluenza, which took its last heavy toll
in the spring of 1920, decreased in
the two periods from 1920 to 113.
other principal diseases which
caused deaths for the first six months
of 1921: typhoid fever, 81; measles,
IT; scarlet fever. S. whooping cough,
So; diphtheria, 11S; cancer (all
forms), 634; diabetes. 1885,; cerebral

Large Influx of Unemployed
From East Expected.
Judge Crawford Sounds Warn
ing to Job Hunters.
NOW MORE MEN THAN WORK
Much Improvement in Indus
trial Conditions Is Noted.
Topeka Leads Other Kansas
Cities in Employment.

Indication of a large influx of I'M
employed from the east is an alarming
feature Of the industrial situation in
Kansas, according to Judge John H.
Crawford of the Industrial court. who
is director of the Kansas free employ
ment bureau. Judge Crawford is
warning other states not to send men
to Kansas as there are no surplus
jobs available.
Kansas is better off than most other
states in this region from an employ
ment standpoint, because Kansas is
agricultural rather than industrial,
Judge Crawford stated, but an influx
Of unemployed would not only ag-
gravate the situation here but would
not materially relieve it in other sec
lions of the country.
The weekly registrations at the
seven Kansas branch employment
bureaus is now approximately 500 as
compared with 500 Jobs open. At
several offices there were nearly three
times as many men who called looking
for work as those who actually regis
tered, indicating a larger number of
drifters.
Indications of Bettcrmcnt.
Some indications of bettered indus
trial conditions have appeared, Judge
Crawford pointed out. The Santa Fe
Railway company at Topeka has an
nounce that about one-half of the 1900
men who were let out of the shops
here several months ago will be taken
BACK shortly. The railroad shops at
Kansas City, Kan, are now reported
nearly back to normal operation. Fall
blowing and other farm work will
absorb a portion of the unemployed.
The coal industry, which usually is IN
full blast by July 1, has been operat-
ing at about half time because of
little demand from industrial plants
for steam coal The mines are ex-
peeted to increase operations soon,
however. to take care of home fuel
demands.
No official estimate has been made
of the number Of unemployed in KAN
sssssince last January, when the num-
Der was placed at 10000. The pros
poets for the immediate future are
summed up in these abstracts from
the reports of employment bureau
managers from over the state: 0ft
Topeka in the Lead.
An increasing number of skilled
workmen are drifting into Topeka
from the larger industrial centers of
the east. They give very bad reports
Of conditions in the cities from which
they come. 1 am inclined to think
that Topeka is better off in regard to
labor than any other city of equal size
ia the United States. There is good
supply of small jobs offered daily.
Z Wichita-The demand for casual or
short jobs is very light. There is a
good demand for men on farms for
AL blowing. Men should not come
Here for work at this time as more
drifters or floating laborers are COM
Ing in than can be taken care of.
\ Kansas City-The railroads have
IiIt back most of their old employees in
the shops But few calls for farm
Hands are now being received. More
are expected soor.
Parsons-There is a surplus of reg
istrations. Demand for farm help for
fall blowing and seeding is a little
Heavier than last week.
