Memorial Building to House New Kan

Ottawa. Kan, Dec. 22.-Definite
announcement has been received from
Adj. Gen. c. D. MaStin's office at To-
peka, that Ottawa would secure a
battery of the new field artillery regi-
ment now being organized in the state.
The organization is to be tentatively

lery, or the second Kansas national
guard regiment.
December 90 was set as tentative
daee for examination preliminary to
officially muster in. The basement
of the public auditorium, erected as n
memorial to the ex-service men of the
world war, will be used temporarily
as an armory and will provide floor
space for gun drill and storage of the
battery equipment.
The required minimum of fifty men
has been recruited under direction of
Merle G. Ellington, a world war vet
eran. who was given a commission of
second lieutenant two weeks ago. Re
cruiting will continue in the hope of
securing from sixty-five to eighty in

WHY THE DELAY2

President Harding ana the political
party of Which he is the recognized
hc-7 have been in complete control
of the government nearly a year. and
congress has been in session a large
part of time. yet there has. been no
permanent tariff legislation. Why
the delay?
Explanation probably lies in the
fact that majority leaders have dis
covered that sound business opinion
thruout the United States is strongly
against the enactment of high tariff
Certain groups favor specific duties
for their own protection, and there is
no doubt that plenty Of manufactured
clam - 'as made it's contribution to
the demand which the friends of the
tariff profess TO find. Also they may
have discovered that if a high tariff
law be enacted. the reaction on world
trade a. our own situation will be
so pronounced as to bring the inevita-
bic political retribution.
In order to enlist agricultural senti-
ment in favor of d high tariff it has
been proposed to levy an import duty
on cettail farm products. The com
petition along these lines is not severe,
embracins largely as it does wheat
from Canada. cereals and meat pro-
ducts from Argentina and cotton from
Brazil, Egypt and a few other coun-
tries. This looks like a paltry offset
to the markets we must lose for our
own agricuIt,IraI avDor+a4iops ;e n,
rope is unable to obtain the means Of
payment. We cannot go on forever
financing credit extensions thru the
war finance corporation, and at the
same time deny our debtors the right
to use their only means of. settlement.
As matters now stand, the opposi-
ton to the Fordney tariff bill is gem
e-al Id is based on sound business
grounds. The criticisms are set forth
in a recent editoria! in the Journal OF
Commerc, as follows:
1t is careIessly and inaccurately
framed, and will inflict great inequity
on different groups of producers and
consumers.
1t is extreme in it's rates and will
produce enormous advances of price
while almost absolutely prohibiting
certain classes of imports
1t is unworkable in it's administra-
tive mechanism, notably in the Amer
lean valuation provision. which is ad-
one of the most outrageous
elements ever suggested in a tariff
measure.
1t is full of what are called "jokers"
special adjustments designed to help
or protect particular firms or groups
of persons.
1t would not be a good revenue pro-
Queer because of it's disastrous influ-
ence on imports.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am en-
gagged to a travelling man who comes
here every few weeks on business. He
has asked me to marry him, but in
stead of consenting to a marriage in
my home he wants me to go to an
other city. meet him there and then
be married.
I love this man and it will break
my heart to give him up, but I do
not trust him as much as I ought to
since he will not be married here.
What would you advise?
MOLLY.
I would advise you to insist on a
home wedding. The man must haze
evil designs or he would have no OBJ
lection. Be very cautious, little girl.
because you will probably ruin your
life unless you listen to the wee small
voice that tells you all is not right.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How old
does a girl have to be to vote for
president2 My friend says eighteen
and believe it's twenty-one.
DOUBTING.
You are correct. twenty-one.

Dorothy Dix Tails
Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds.
HI DOROTHY DIX
Worlds highest Paid Woman WFitsE.

Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
When a woman takes off her cor
sets, and gets into her kimono, she
removes also her moral shield and
buckIer, and lets herself go, and does
and says things that she would be in
capable of doing nd saying IL she was
girded up for ball. The reason that
most family quarrels are at the break
fast table is because so many women
have made only a sketchy toilet, of q
boudoir cap and wrapper, and haV-
ing none of the restraining infIuen ceS
of clothes to hold them back. they
give rein to their tongues and tempers.
All of this is a matter of common
knowledge, and common experience TO
women and it explains why the bust
ness girl must dress appropriately for
business before women will ever
achieve any real success in the com
mercial world.
To begin with, nobody can take a
business girl Seriously while she Is
dressed at work as if she were going
to party. If man should come TO
business, or start forth to practice his
profession, in evening clothes, We
should regard him as joke. We
would never hire him if he applied for
a position. We would never call up
on his services if we needed a doctor
OF d lawyer.
And We feel exactly the same way
about girl who comes to work in a
fragile blouse, and thin silk stockings,
and perched upon two inch heel shoes
which are three sizes too small for
her. We know her real business is
husband hunt &, and there's no use
trying to teach her the details of her
work, and fitting her for a higher
place.
She has no interest in anything but
her clothes, and she is Just marking
time until she can get some man to
assume her board bill and shopping
ticket.
The girl who is worth helping is the
one who has instinctively dressed her
part, who has put on working clothes
that inspire confidence, and that
make her look capable and reliable.
When you go into a store it is the
girl with the plainly dressed hair, and
S-oes, and the tailor made look, that
you make for if you are going to buy
anything of consequence, not the friv-
olOus looking young thing who comes
mincing towards you on her lettering
heels, and who looks as if she had
just strolied in from an afternoon tea
But 1t is the effect of her clothes
on the girl herself that counts most
If she dresses like a business woman
she will n a business woman, and if
she dresses like a society girl she will
be a society girl in thought and de-
sires. No woman ever yet climbed the
ladder of success in a georgette
blouse.
The first place of wisdom that
Mother Eve gained after she ate of
the tree of knowledge was about the
Importance of dress to a woman, and
no daughter of hers, from that day to
this, has been able to disregard the
effect of her fig leaves upon herself.

Much satisfaction is reported IN
business circles over the recent adj
vance in foreign exchange, especially
marked during the past ten days.
Sterling has shown an advance of IT
points and is now approximately "a
cents above the November low and AZ
cents above T. figure of October l,
reachlng $4.24. which compares with
the low of the year of 1888. The rise
OF the franc and the mark have been
equally notable. Francs have been
lifted from 100 cents to S.26 cents.
The recovery represented by the pres
ent fig ,e is indicated by the low
point of t, year of $50 cents. The
mark, while still greatly deprecated
he's shown a very substantial gain
proportionately. Lira also have adj
vanced and so has the Austrian
crown. Foreign exchange is regard
ed as the pulse of the trade and con-
fidence of the world. 1t is affected
by domestic currency conditions by
the law Of supply and demand as reg
ulated by trade balance or sentiment
tally as a barometer of the relation of
current svelopments to worlds sta
bility.

JUST FOLKS
THE BAD EXAMPLE.
u EDGAR a. GUEST

He whipped his boy for lying
And his cheeks were flaming red,
And of course there's no denying
There was truth in what he said
That a liars always hated.
But the little fellow knew
That his father often stated
Many things that were untrue.
He caught the youngster cheating
And he sent him up to bed.
And it's useless now repeating
All the bitter things he said
He talked of honor loudly
As a lessen to be learned,
And forgot he'd boosted proudly
OF the cunning tricks he'd turned
He heard the yOungster swearing
And he punished him again
He'd have no hoy as daring
As to utter words prOfane-
Yet the ,yOungster could have told him,
Poor misguided little elf.
That it seemed unfair to scold him
When he often cursed, himself.
All in vain is splendid preaching
And the noble things we say.
All our task is wasted teaching
If We do not lead the way.
We can never. by reviewing
All the sermons On the shelves.
Keep the younger hands from doing
What we often do ourselves.

FOR BONUS
Getting Money Chief Issue in
Vet Reward Drive.
Beer Tax, Sales Tax, Foreign
Interest, All Are Proposed.

Washington. Dec. 22-Three plans
for raising revenue to pay a soldier
bonus will be laid before the house
ways and means committee when con-
gress reeonvenes on January 8. with
the expectation that a compensation
bill will be framed before February.
Members of the committee, it was
| learned today, have reached the con-
clusion that any bonus bill reported
to the house must carry its own levies
to meet the obligations which it Gre
ates. With this in mind, the follow
ing plans will be offered:
1. Manufacturers and business safe
tax, with tax on imports.
2. Special tax on legalized sales of
Misunderstanding beers and wines.
8. Receipts from a special bond
issue based on the refunded foreign
loans.
Chairman Fordney of the commit
tee, has always favored the manufac-
turers sale tax to raise the money for
a cash bonus on the basis of 81 a day,
with a maximum of seas for overseas
service and Of $500 for service in the
United States
The plan of Representative VoIk OF
New York, for a sales tax will bA
thoroly investigated by the committee
and tax experts will be heard in ex-

He OWED FROM TRAIN
New York Fireman Took Big
Chance TO Save Life of Boy
Knocked Off Railroad Trestle.

New York, Dec, 22.--Jerry Driseell,
locomotive fireman on Staten Island,
was graduated as a hero today.
While his train Travelled at twenty-five
miles an hour he jumped from the en-
CINE into a creek and saved the life
of William Alexander, a school boy,
who had been struck by the engine

The train had gone ahead almost a
mile before the engineer missed Dris-
