it is postponement of the date OF pay
ment, and by that time, ii is hoped the
wounds caused by the war will have
been healed. 1t must be remembered
that the loan was not a normal one.
The money was sent to us from the
United States, a land consecrated by
Washington to the defence against q

spindles at It's disposal, but only $4,000

States chiefly in Czecho-Slovalia. AS
most Of the spinneries and weaveries
are driven by water the scarcity of coal
has not been felt. But they have suf-
fercd badly from the lack of raw ma
terial Here credit is a question OF life
and death.
During the last months much has been
done in the way of wage work for for
eign employers the so-called "Vered-
lungsverkehr." Under this system the
foreign firm that gives the order sends
the raw material or half products for
refining and reserves all rights of own
ership. The Austrian Government and
special trust companies furnish the nee
essary guarantees. The refined goods
are being sent back to the employer,
the Austrian firm getting only the stipu-
lated wage and what material 1t may
save In the refining process.
The manufacturers here are trying to
recover their former position by enter
ing into close and permanent connec-
tlons with foreign firms with capital and
influence, This also is true in the dress
making and millinery trade, one of vi
enna's most important branches. As

Kansas WOmen's Federation
Backs Civil Service Plan.
Clay Center Woman Charges
Legislature With Fraud.

Parsons. Kan, April 2S.-The Kan
sas Federation of Women's clubs today
was urged to don its war laint" and
compel the Kansas state government
to put in operation more effectively
the civil service laws of the state, by
Mrs. Frances A. CIV. L.) Jennings of
Gay Center, chairman of the fedora
tlon department of civil service re-
FORM She openly charged that thru
fraud the last Kansas legislature de-
feated the aims of the law by leaving
the civil service department of the
state without appropriation. Mrs
jennings delivered an address on civil
service, as applied nationally and in
Kansas.
Other reports of department chair
men were read as follows: scholarship

and community service, Mrs. b f.

gates at large to the national fedora
ton meeting will be held this after
noon-
Mrs. Jennings said that originally
system, "altho without a name,'' pre-
vailed. Then later the spoils system
crept in she continued, land SO de-
moralized our government for fifty
years that the best men in all parties
saw the need of a reform and in 1888
congress enacted the federal civil serv-
ice reform laws. These have been
improved and really have done Won
ders for our government. In reality,
it may be said that civil service now
begins with the chief justice of the
United States supreme court and ends
with the last street sweeper, and espe-
cially includes every branchF of the
federal inspection service.
1.-The Kansas civil service laws are
not only imperfect, but are poorly
backed by our legislature. At each
session of the legislature the politi-
cians try to have the law repealed,
until finally at the last session. by
fraud. the appropriation for civil serv-
ice was cut out leaving our official
family at the mercy of the spoils sys-

SIMPLE APPLICATION
F THAT DISS0LVES
BLACKHEADS

No more sqeezing and pinching to get rid
Of those unsightly blemishes, blackheads.
There is one simple, safe and sure way to
get them out and that is to dissolve them.
To do this just get about two ounces Of
calonite powder from your .druggist-sprin
kle a little on a hot, wet sponge-rub
briskly over the blackheads for a few sec
onds-wash the parts and every blackhead
will be gone.
Pinching and squeezing out blackheads
make large pores and you cannot get all
OF the blackheads out this way-while this
simple application of calonite powder and
water dissolves every particle of them and
leaves the skin ana ur ~
condition. Any druggist will sell you the
calonite powder and about two ounces will
be all you will ever need.-Advertisement.

BREAK IN DRY dixie SEES END OF oil
Anti-SalOOn League Alarmed at
Beer Regulations.
"AII Fake" Says Ranying Call

Washington, April 2s.-Character-

prohibition" Wayne B. Wheeler. gen
eral counsel for the <Anti-Saloon
league, today issued call for the drys

the drinker to get beer for beverage
purposes by getting a physician to

Wheeler. "All the medical properties
in beer are easily obtainable in any
number of drugs.

Present Fields Exhausted by
1928, Says n. q. Expert.
Must Find Other Motor Fuel or
New Fields.

Lawrence, Kan, April 2S.-At the
present diminishing rate of )produc
ton, the world supply of oil will be
very low in 1922 and almost complete
ly exhausted by 1928 unless vast new
fields now unknown are discovered.
This is the startling prediction of some
biologists which is affirmed by Prof
r. S. Knappen ffthe department of
geology lat the University of Kansas.
Unless American genius discovers
some motor fuel to take the place of
gasoline. the old hitch rack may again
adorn the streets and avenues. and the
proverbial plow horse will be taken
from the obscure field where he has
| been silently laboring for the last
| twelve years to be hailed as con-
quering hero Carrying the specula-
ton still further, the horse and buggy
may again become the popular joy
riding equipment, replacing the auto
mobile.
The supply of oil is limited to
seven years at the present rate of
production" said Professor Knappen
THE peak of petroleum production
was reached in 1920 Estimated on a
basis of probably. improbablesand i'm
| possible oil producing areas, there is
little to indicate that the future
United States oil production will ever
rise above the point it reached in
1920. Mr.. Arnold, one of the foremost
| geologists, says that by September.
1879! MEXICO VIII be thru producing
| oil in commercial quantities.
Since Mexico produces 20 per cent
of all the oil produced in foreign coun-
tries there is little reason to believe
| that our supply of oil for refining
purposes can be sreatly extended by
any foreign oil production. The Rus
sian fields are our only possibility
Africa, from the producing standpoint,
| is hopeless. Europe is already well
drilled up. Some hope is given from
| the fields of Mesopotamia
There is little reason to believe
| that there will be any great future
production. The mid continent fields
were estimated as producing 33 per
cent of the total production in 1921
All the mid-continent fields are fairly
long-lived, that is they last about five
years"
In the opinion of Professor KNAPP
pen, either a substitute for gasoline
must be found or the oil companies
will have to commence refining oil
shale. So far this has not been found
commercially profitable, it is said
since the cost of refining is about two
or three times the present cost of gas

UNEMPLOYMENT IN NEAR EAST
More Than 100000 Out of Work in
and Near Constantinople.

Reports of relief agents in Con-
stantinople to officials of the Near
East Relief in New York tell of the
almost hopeless condition of unem-
n1ovment that exists in the Ottoman
canital and adds a heavy burden to
the task of administering relief.
French estimates, according to these
reports, place the number OF unem-
nIoyed among refugees alone in and
around Constantinople at more than
one hundred thousand. rms NUMBER
does not include refugees living on
their savings nor the resident popuIa-
ton.
uncertainty of the political situation,
and the vast number of refugees VINO
have come into the capital for safety
are largely blamed.
Every day men come to headquar-
ters of the Near East Relief. begging
for something to do" reports one re-
lief worker Yesterday an old man,
formerly secretary to the Armenian
bishop at Samsoun, came to US he
had been deported and returned
broken in health and spirit. He
sought a Job as a hamal. or burden
bearer, but the work is much too
heavy for him.
Every day wretched, weary groups
of men leave the Armenian refugee
camps looking for work. All uay long
they stand patiently in line hoping to
be chosen for work by the French,
who employ a number as laborers. In
some cases, merchants take on the
very needy among the unemployed,
tho they have absolutely nothing for
them to do.
Efforts are being made by welfare
organizations supported by Russians.
Armenians, French, British and
Americans to operate employment
agencies. But the applicants far out
number the available jobs.
Another difficulty is caused by the
numbers of peasants from rural dis
tricts who have been driven by con-
stant warfare and bandit raids from
their homes and are totally ignorant
of city ways.
