RICE TO SCOUR EGYPT
FOR SPECIES OF GOAT
Explorer Who Fought Cannibals
in South America Will Aid
Medical Research,

Despite the terrors through which
he passed while journeying through
the wilds Of South America, DIR. Alex
ander Hamilton Rice, explorer. plans
soon to leave for Egypt in an en-
deavor to locate certain species OF
goat which Is invaluable In medical re-
search work.
He expressed this intention in an
address on South America before the
Geographical society.
DR.. Rice said his trip through South
America took him up the Rio Negro.
the largest tributary Of the Amazon,
through natural canal more than 200
miles long. connecting 1t with the ORR
noco, into hitherto UNEMPLOYED portions
of Brazil. 1t was here that he came
In actual contact with the Guaharibos,
a virtually unknown tribe Of cannibal
Indians, who for II days pursued his
party in an effort to cut off Its re-
turn.
The attack occurred in a wild spot
along the banks Of the OrinOco, where
DR.. Rice had made camp the night
before. Two Indian guides saw some
thing moving along the banks. Look
ing closer. they perceived the forms
of Indians closing in on the camp.
"A few moments later" DIR. Rice
said, 1.-THE entire bank was literally
lined with wildly shrieking and ges-
ticulating figures, who brandished
bows about seven feet high, with ar
rows six feet long.
1--WE tried talking to them in every
language and dialect at our command
We laid hatchets, knives and fish on
the rocks In an attempt to pacify them,
but without success.
FINALLY. when one Of their arrows
landed just at my feet, l decided 1t
was time to do something, and we
fred the Winchester rifle and Parker
shotgun, our only weapons, over their
heads. That frightened them for the
moment, and gave US time to get our
things packed and start down the riv-
er. Shortly afterward, darkness de-
scended, and all night long we could
hear their bloOd-curdling screams as
they kept at our heels"

IT'S LOCAL OPTION
Kansas Sunday Theater Law Is
Not Strict One.
Public Sentiment Prevents Sun
day Shows Most Places.

Kansas has local option as far as
Sunday motion picture shows are con-
cerned. despite state law which has
been construed by the supreme court
to prevent them. AS a result Sunday
Leavenworth and a few other cities
in the state.
A simple explanation fer this appar-
ent violation of the law is given by
E. W. Clausen, assistant attorney gem
eral and Atchison city attorney. Local
juries he said, have refused to con-
Wet the showmen, and the state can
not appeal because of the federal con-
stitutional provision against twice be-
ing put in jeopardy of life or property
for the same offense.
An exhibitor attending the conven-
ton of the Kansas State Exhibitors
association at Wichita last week, is
reported to have asserted that sixty
five motion picture theaters are oper-
ating on Sunday in this state Some
of the exhibitors attending the con-
vention, protested against allowing
chautauquas and similar entertain
ments to run on Sunday and charge
admission while Sunday movies are
taboo because of public sentiment in
most communities. A statewide move
will be inaugurated to open the motion
picture houses on Sundays, it was said.
There is no specific statute in Kan
sas against Sunday theaters, but there
is a law. enacted in 1868. providing
that only work which is necessary
may be performed on the Sabbath. In
the only case of the kind decided by
the state supreme court, Topeka versus
Crawford. it was held that this law
prevents operation of theaters. Vio-
lation of the law is a misdemeanor
with a fine not exceeding $25.
When a test case was brought in an
Atchison court several years ago. the
unique plea was presented that the
theaters would lose money if they
were not permitted to run on Sunday,
and therefore that the work per-
formed in connection with the shows is
necessary" The jury approved this
construction of the law, and as a con-
sequence Sunday movies hold sway in
Atchison.

A persons handwriting may not be
an infallible indication of his charac-
ter, but in the case of Galli-Curci, the
great soprano who will be heard in
concert here on Tuesday, April 10, at
the auditorium, the handwriting eX-
pert has made a most accurate dag
nosis. This is his opinion after ex-
aiming the singers signature:
I'm the handwriting of Galli-Curci
the fine and tenuous lines show a de-
gree of refinement almost spiritual, a
fact which is again emphasized in the
long loop of the capital G. AS in the
signature of Paderewski, the artist
displays tenderness and an excessive
ly sympathetic nature. Everything
she does she finishes perfectly, and
the carefully closed as indicate a
spirit of reticence and modesty. Such
a one would discourse little about her
own achievements
Galli-Curci is really a superwoman.
%Some are born great, some achieve
greatness, others have greatness thrust
upon them" philosophers Malvolio in
Shakespeares Twelfth Night" 1t
would be difficult to tell in which
class the great Galli-Curci falls, but
it is safe to say that she does not come
in the last, for it was thru her own
efforts tht she achieved greatness
Perhaps she was born great, surely
she was born talented, but she GER
tainly did not have greatness thrust
upon her. She had to blaze her own
trail to success. Galli-Curci was given
1916 by Campanini- Had she not cleo
trified her audience as she did. her
remarkable success would not have
followed So RAPIDLY.

ALL NAvE: VOICE
g. of C, Plan Provides Work
For All Members.
Program of Work Will Be Sc
Iected by Entire Body.

Long experience has shown said
Jarvis Price. manager of the re-or
ganization of the Chamber of Com
merce that the only way to make a
Chamber Of Commerce completely sue
-cessful and active. is to have all the
members share equally in every re-
spect. Under the plan adopted for
Topeka. the members. and the mem
bers alone, will nominate for office
and determine who shall be the di-
rectors and what planks shall COM
pose the platform, or program of
work 1t is a fundamental principle
of the type of organization which is
being provided for the Topeka Cham
Der that the full membership shall di-
rect it's thought and life.
Elect by Ballot.
1.-THE election mechanism will be of
the simplest type. A ballot bearing
the roster of the entire mem bership
will be sent to each member On this
ballot. he will be asked to make a
certain number. usually fifteen per-
sons. to be nominated for membership
in the board of directors. Upon re-
turn of these ballots properly marked,
the names of a pre- determined num-
Der, usually thirty, having the largest
fumber of votes will become the nom
inees for the board of directors. This
the members and they will each vote
for one-half the number. The fifteen
or whatever the number of the board
of directors is to be. receiving the
highest number of votes, will be the
ones chosen. In this way a secret bal
lot uninfluenced by any other consid-
grafton is secured.
Choice Based on Fitness.
This is democracy, reduced to its
simplest type. The choice is based on
fitness in the opinion of his fellow
members. Ability and willingness to
serve the community will alone retain
a man i'll office for it is evident that
any director who does not meet the
s5aHdeIG of his fellow members will
fan of reelection.
The members forum will be an
ilaDoTtant feature of the new Cham
bcr Of Commerce. 1t will serve as a
channel of communication between
the membership and the officers and
directors. Thru frequent luncheons
and meetings. the membership will
have an opportunity to discuss new
Projects and hear the presentation of
new ideas and proposals. The forum
will serve to bring experts on impor-
tant subjects before the chamber as
means of assisting the community in
the solution of problems. 1t will be-
come a dynamo furnishing motion and
direction to the chamber as an organi
ton.
F"First and last the chief object of
Ire chamber will be that of bringing
together the most responsible and most
capable men and women of the. city
and Keeping them at work for the
bencflt of the community. The ac-
