Speech Sickness
Puzzles Doctors
Illinois Girl Has Talked Continuously
For Whole Week Not Even Stopping
to Sleep.

Waukegan, III, Feb. 12.-Physicians
here were puzzled today over the case
of Marian Rubind. 5-year-old daugh-
ter of a wealthy department store
owner here. who has talked constantly
for one week.
During that time she has not slept,
1t was said, except for two hours Mon
day night During her sleep she con-
unued to talk.
The girl is said to realize her condi-
ton but is not worried. Her conver-
sation is rational for that of a child.
She talks constantly about dolls, dolls
clothes, school and dancing
Physicians have ordered the child to
remain in bed in the hope that she
might drop off to sleep and stop talk
ing. But she continues to remain
wide awake and laughs when some-
thing amuses her fancy.
Doctors say the child is in good
health and are unable to explain her
condition One theory advanced was
that the talking spell is forerunner
to sleeping sickness.

CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT
Decision Will Be Made in Phone Rate
Discussion In Few Days

The court of industrial relations
took under advisement the application
of the city of Topeka for a re-hear-
ing in the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company increased rates, after
final hearing this morning of the
the case.
City Attorney Branaman and the
courts attorney, Fred S. Jackson, and
the court judges questioned witnesses
this morning. The chief witness was
the assistant engineer of the court,
w. G. Read, who answered ques-
tions relating to the figures used in
estimating depreciation value of the
company.
Several weeks ago citizens of Topeka
protested against the increased rates
granted the telephone company and
askd the court to grant a re-hear-
ing of the case. In presenting their
application, the chief reason given for
desiring a re-hearing of the matter
was that the time is inopportune, with
a general deflation of prices, to grant
any increase in rates and that the 20
per cent granted was exorbitant.
Judge George Wark, under whose
division OF court work the telephone
cases are classified. said today that
a decision regarding the re-hearing
would be forthcoming within a few
dayS.

He DEFENDS THE MOVIES
Brady Declares State Boards Try to
Improve on Federal Code.

Kansas City. Mo-. Feb! 12.-Scoffing
at the idea advanced in certain guar
ters that the movie is responsible for
the "crime wave" William A. Brady,
president of the National Associat ton
of the Motion Picture Industry, de-
clared that assumption ridiculous"
Brady said governments who for
got the injunction Thou shalt not kill
are the ones really responsible"
As to movie censorship he told a
meeting of exhibitors that 1.-The muz-
zling of the motion picture industry is
in no way different from the muz-
zling of the press"
Brady said in some states the censor
has the power of a czar. pointing to
Kansas. where no appeal is allowed
from the censorship boards decision.
He explained that all pictures were
made to conform to the federal law
prohibiting immoral scenes, but that
each state censorship board has diff
ferent idea of morality and tried to
improve on the federal code.

TO CONTROL SUGAR
Cuban Government Will Market
1921 Crop.
"Artfficial Depression" of Prices

Havana, Feb. 12.-Control of the
sale and shipment of Cuba's 192O-1s21
sugar crop has been placed in the
hands of governmental organiza-
ton known as the sugar finance COM
mission. This commission, appointed
yesterday by President Menocal, col-
sists of seven members, and will

Members of the body will receive no
compensation.
The decree appointing the commits
son directs sugar buyers or sellers to

made with firms in foreign countries.
All details of these contracts must be
given, and, in addition the agreements
must stipulate that the product they
cover is to be refined or used by the
buyer. and not sold or offered for sale
as crude sugar. Infractions of rules

viduals.
Provisions of the decree were ex-
planned here last night by r. B. Haw-

sands for State.
MAY TRY AN INCOME TAI
Hint at Plan Similar to Federal
System in Use.
Two Per Cent ON Production Is
Important Measure.

Flxlng OF a two per cent production
tax on all oil, gas, coal and other min
erals produced in this state, is provided
under terms of a bill introduced in the
house today by the committee on as
sessment and taxation. There is a
possibility that the committee may fol-
low this bill with a measure creating
an income tax fund similar to the ex-
isting federal tax system.
Provision is made in the new pro-
duction tax bill for testing the enact
ment-if the legislature gives approval
to the measure-before funds are dis
tributed or used by the state. A sec
ton of the bill provides that money
collected under the new plan shall be
held in trust fund by the state treas
ury until the supreme court has
passed on validity of the law. Law
yers believe there is serious question as
TO the ability of the Kansas legislature
to enact a production tax law under
the existing state constitution.
Raise Many Thousands.
1t is believed the new law will raise
hundreds of thousands of dollars in in
olrect revenue each year. One-half of
all money collected would go into the
general revenue fund of the state.
One-half of the money would be re-
turned to the counties in which the
tax originated. At least one-half of
the county's portion of the fund would
be available for general revenue pur-
poses.
The production tax bill is one of the
most important measures before the
legislature at this session. 1t affects
all mineral production in the state. The
tax would be gross values of outputs
of oil, gas, coal, zinc, lead and other
minerals in Kansas.
Several additional taxation bills may
be originated by the house committee
during the next week. One of these
bills is said to be provision for per-
sona1 income taxes. Such a measure
has been considered by the committee.

KILL LIFE ASSN
Move To Do Away With State
Organization.
Insurance Men Enter Merry
War in Convention.

The Life Insurance Association of
Kansas, is dead, buried. but not for
gotten. At the business session held
this morning at the Elk's club, a mo-
ton by o. T. Cropper. manager of the
Aetna Insurance company, to kill the
state association and revert to the old
form of local associations, was second
ed by H. o. Garvey. manager of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
company. The motion carried
The move to kill the state associa-
ton is believed to have originated in
Wichita. Richard Deaver, of the
Provident Life and Trust Insurance
company, with offices at Wichita,
made the principal talk, advocating
the removal of the state associat ton,
and condemning the ethics of certain
life insurance companies.
Officers of smaller state companies
believe that the move to kill the state
organization resulted from the stand
taken by the state organiza ton to
refuse to condemn Kansas companies
and for competitive reasons. The
larger companies thereby take a direct
slap at the state superintendent of in
surance, Frank L. Travis, and at the
blue sky board for chartering these
smaller companies. There is a con-
bill at the present time in
eign companies to invest IS per cent
of their Kansas reserve in Kansas Sc
curities.

TO ABOLISH STATE OFFICE
Bill in House Would Do Away With
Superintendent of Instruction.

Walter E. iBuster) Brown of Atchi-
son today introduced in the house a
concurrent resolution which tends to
separate Lorraine E. Wooster, state
superintendent of public instruction,
from her job. The concurrent resolu-
ton provides for the removal of the
office of state superintendent from the
list of constitutional offices.
With the separation of the place
from constitutional provision, the gov
ernor would be given appointive power.
The measure is strongly advocated by
officers of the State Teachers associa-
ton and number of prominent Kan
sas educators. 1t would. however, re-
move Miss Wooster from office at the
expiration of her present term. She
is now serving her second term as
Superintendent.

MEXICAN MONEY
 FLOWING INTO
 GERMAN HANDS
Mining Expert Says U. 5. Should Recognize Mexico
 Quickest Possible Time.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept g. Recognize Mexico and President Al verde Obregon and divert to America the stream of Mexican money which is flowing in millions of dollars into the pockets of German manufac- turers."
 That was the plea of J. C. Under. wood, an American mining expert, upon his arrival in Kansas City from Nogales, Ariz.
 According to Underwood the Am erican business man is losing thou sands of dollars. which he otherwise could get, solely because of the gov. ernment's refusal to recognize Obre- gon and his people.
 Underwood says manufacturers and mine operators of Mexico are pleading for equipment to run their plants destroyed during the civil war there
 ''The Mexican farmer is sorely in need of threshers and farming equip ment Hundreds of mills are closed because of lack of machinery. but American manufacturers are denied this market, because the United States adopts the attitude that the country below the Rio Grande is 2 void
 English, French and German sales men are seizing the opportunity and arriving in Mexico by the hundreds They are writing orders which oth erwise would be filled by American factories"
 For several years Underwood has made his home in NOgales, Ariz. where the dividing line between the United States and Mexico passes di rectly through the middle of the little city's main street.
 According to Underwood the time has arrived for America to grasp the fact that Mexico is tired of fighting and that the people stand solidly be hind their president.
