RECORD IMPROVEMENT YEAR
Total Cost of New Street Work in To-
pcka VIII Be Half Million.

Three weeks mora of good weather
will see the big summer street pro-
gram of his department completed
according to w. S. Hancock, city street
commissioner.
During the last six, months the
street department has completed more
street improvements than have been
undertaken in Topeka before in many
years. 1t has raised and relayed more
than five miles of brick sidewalks;
has laid 10000 feet of new cement
walk; has installed four f1oodwater
sewers and one sanitary sewer and
completed five miles of street and
alley paving. all in addition to the
regular work of the department.
The total cost of the extra improve
ments this summer were about
100000.
Many improveme nts have been
made in North Topeka. The new side
walk and pavement projects were
scattered turnout the city. One Ct the
biggest Improvements was the storm
water sewer and pavement from Sew
enteenth street south to the Shunga-
nunga along the east side of the fair
grounds. This practically relieves the
flood water situation in South Topeka,
Commissioner Hancock declared.
The connecting of the West Tenth
avenue pavement with the county
road two and one-half blocks west
is another improvement that will be
completed in another week.
About $45O,OOO of the amount spent
went to the contractors. The city
builds the intersections and manholes,
and does the grading.

Jay House, co1umnist on the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger. and one of the
widest read newspaper writer's in the
comes once in a lifetime to one who
visits proudly each year the old home
town"
When Jay left Topeka as an ex-
mayor and a man accepted in any golf
foursome, he w2s rather naughty
about his game on the links. In fact
his trip to Philadelphia was made
with the Pullman fare and the Incl
dentals provided by his fond compan-
ions at the Country club. In Quaker
town. after establishing himself at his
typewriter, he was invited to play with
Cyrus H. K. Curtis, the man who made
Philadelphia famous, on the Curtis
private links, in the back yard of one
of the gentleman's homes.
Followers Of the House Second
Thought" column in the Public Ledger
and in The State Journal have noted
game-and the home town boys have
been laying aside a certain amount
each month to donate to the Philadel-
phian upon his arrival for the annual
vacation.
s House has been playing daily at the
Country club since he came to town
a few days ago. His game was up to
advance notices until the other day.
In fact it was progressing in a most
satisfactory manner that day until
No. had been reached. No. 8 at the
Country club is a par hole. 1t is
only 211 yards in length and the drive
is a short lift over willows and d
brook. Hundreds of times Jay has
lifted his drive to within a few feet of
the green. 1t is an easy brassy or
spoon-and to many a midiron. Fri
Cay Jays drive dribbled into the tall
grass just ahead of the tee. HIS sec
ond went into the ripping brook. The
third some place else. The fourth,
the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the
eighth-well, the only explanation is
nine strokes before the ball fell out of
sight.
Disgusted1y the ex-mayor fished out
his ball.
From No tee he topped another
and pounded his way sadly up the
fairway to No. 8 green in front of the
club house.
His game had "blown."
Jay House had been figuring on en-
tering the state editorial tournament
at lola next week.
81 still intend to go to lola" Jay
said today. But I don't intend to
play golf If some of the boys wish
to shuttle a few cards in the hotel
Monday evening I'll join 'em. But at
golf-never. I have blown up for the
winter-and in the old home town,
too"

STATE TO REST TODAY
Evidence in Trial of Marie McArdIe
Nearly Complete.

Cleveland, o. Oct. 7.-Tndications
today were the state would complete
its presentation of evidence against
Miss Marie McArdle charged with COM
plicity in the murder of Daniel Kaber,
wealthy publisher, during the day. The
defense will Immediately begin a fight
to save the pretty former Smith col
1ege student from a prison term.
Miss McArdle's attorneys are ex-
pected to rely mainly on an appeal to
the jury. Evidence to be presented,
it is expected, will deal chiefly with
paniatory Circumstances, no effort be-
ing made to deny that Miss McArdle
was privy to the crime for which her
mother, Mrs. Eva Kaber. is now serv-
ing a prison sentence.
The chief plea of the defense 1t is
thought, will be that Miss McArdle's
action in conceaing knowledge of her
mothers plans was an act of filial
affection.

A Fable in Slang

Once upon a Time there was a
Respectable old Town which sat
on the Bank of the Kaw River ra-
dating Happiness like a Clam at
High Tide There was, However,
large Fly in the Ointment of its
Self Content. Tourist travel passed
it BY. Automobile parties went by
it to che North and South and the
Dollars that they spent in Travel
did not Affect the Cash Registers
of the Merchants of that town.
Then a Small Citizen Of the Old
Town got an Idea and Arose and
Said, Let US put our Town on the
Map. Let us fix things so that
Travel will come Thru our Town
instead of Passing it By"
And then he Suggested that a
new Trans-co continental Highway be
Developed to be Known as the Vic
tory Highway to be Dedicated to
the Men and Women who Served
their Country during the War and
was elected President of an Asso-
citation organized to Put the Plan
across. When the President of the
United States heard of the Plan he
said it was Good One and accept
ed appointment as Honorary Ad-
wiser. So did Henry Ford who
makes the Lizzie. So did Thomas
EulSOA anu Cole1liali uu JIM anu
Harvey Firestone and Luther Bur-
bank and all of them said it was
a Grand Idea.
But did the Home Folks get up
and Whoop. They did not. They
did not seem to Care whether the
Victory Highway came thru
their Town or not and they did not
Seem to Attach any Great Impor-
lance to George Stansfield's plan
for Victory Highway passing
thru Topeka. In fact they did
Not seem to Give a Durn.

without Honor Save in His own

fuel oil a year ago. The estimate for
the fiscal year 1929 called for $34,-
000,0 600. Congress could only spare
SIT, 900. 900 at the time.
Accordingly, the navy finds itself in
the position of either having to call
off its program or curtail It unless
larger supplies of oil can be secured.
This may be brought to the attention
of congress shortly.
Aside from the maneuvers, which
are a vital part of the navy's training,
the actual operation of naval vessels
is already handicapped, 1t is known.
For instance, it is now regarded as
cheaper to keep a vessel tied up than
at sea and changes of stations have
been held at a minimum.

the directors for the purpose of Civ
ing an entertainment and party for
the teachers who come to Topeka
next month for the annual teachers
convention. The Chamber of Com

The attendance at the directors

TO DISCUSS DEBT
EurOpe's Obligation May Come
Up at Arms Farley.
One Group Wants Debt Paid to
Increase e. 8. Revenue.

Washington, Oct. despite the eff
forts of President Harding and Secre-
tary of State Hughes. the belief is
growing in Washington that it will be
impossible to keep out of the forth
coming armament conference the
question of Europe's paying to the
United States the SO 600, 900, 900 bor-
rowed during the war.
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes do not want to see the
debt question injected into the confer
ence. They believe the conference has
more chance of success if it is confined
to the primary purposes for which it
was caIled-limitatio of armament
and settlement of controversies in the
Pacific and Far East.
Would Solve Tax Problem.
There is a growing group in con-
gress, however. who want Europe to
settle with the United States, or at
least to state when settlement may be
expected.
Senators and representatives casting
about for new methods of raising reve-
nue. without further increasing the
tremendous tax burden of the people,
are beginning to cast longing glances
at the war debt as the best means of
accomplishing this.
At present the interest payments of
the huge debt which amount to ap-
proximately $500,000,000 a year, are
not being met. Great Britain has
made some installments of interest
but they have been small in COMPARE
son to the amount owed. Other ma
tons have paid nothing.
The so-called Penrose bill, giving
the secretary of the treasury wide dis
creionary power to arrange a settle
ment of the loans, is still held up with
little chance of its passage.
