George C. Hall, 1904 Kansas avenue,
has originated a system of road mark
ing by which the distance between any
two points in the United States can be
determined easily. Mr.. Halls plan is
to number all section lines. Those
running north and south would be
called "roads" and those running east
and west trails" All would be con-
secutively numbered. Intersecting
numbers would locate houses. Farm
houses between section lines would
be numbered fractionally.
The plan would call for sign boards
along every road, giving correct trail
or road" numbers. By comparing
numbers tourists could determine the
distance to any point. Mr.. Hall has
applied for a patent on his idea, and
maps for his scheme in use have been
made for Shawnee county and will be
on exhibition at the Kansas Free Fair.
They show the division of Silver Lake
township.
Mr.. Hall has also gotten out a street
guide of Topeka which locates the
street numbers in alphabetical order.

Scores Open Shop Movement.
Mrs. O'Hare scored the open shop
movement, declaring that If it lived,
organized labor must die, and vice
versa
The railroad rates came in for Wig
orous condemnation from Mrs. O'Hare.
She declared that while thousands of
southern mill workers are dying with
pellagras the citrus fruit which would
save their lives, is rotting by hundreds
of thousands of bushels, because the
workers have not the money to pay
for transportation, while the produc-
ers OF the fruits are bankrupt.
To Cut Down Production.
''The whole scheme is to cut down
production, throw six million work
men out of employment, and sell the
products which are already on hand,
at fabulous price. Its whole OBJ
ject is to crush organized labor" she
declared.
In a private interview before the
speech, Mrs. O'Hare said that the
fourteen months which she spent in
the Missouri state penitentiary at JEFF
ferson City, Mo, were the most in
teresting and valuable of her entire
life.
It came out more fit. physically,
than I went in, and I did not suffer

find it difficult to concentrate my
mind on any political or economic
question"

real cause of their trouble. Without iron in
