which is looked for sometime late
this fall, ample telephone facilities
will be available for all parts of To-
peka.
An Educational Program.
A comprehensive educational pro-
gram is being mapped out thru the
medium of which Topeka subscribers
are to be made acquainted with the
use of the new system. A series of
letters and booklets will be mailed to
each subscriber explaining various
phases of the operation. About Octo-
Der a demonstration board will make
a pilgrimage over the. city of Topeka
and will be shown before various
clubs, civic organizations, schools and
of expert operators, will visualize the
exact detailed process of a telephone
call by machine switching. 1t will
show all the steps from the time the
number is dialed thru the various me-
chanical routings until the called
party is reached. Moving pictures
are being prepared to be shown at
local theaters which will give an addi-
tional picturlzation of things which
the subscriber should know about
making calls by the machine switch
ing process
Some time this fall every subscriber
in Topeka will receive a personal call
company who will explain in detail
just how calls are made by the new
method. Subscribers will be shown
just how to do the dialing. The dial
tone, busy test, emergency calling, and
kindred points will be explained along
with other information which the
subscriber should know. In short,
every subscribe. will be given a prac-
teal lesson at his own station on just
how to use the new service.

opportunity to revisit the countries in
which they were stationed overseas
and to renew and cement the ties of
friendship formed during the World
war. Another object is to strengthen
the bond of friendship among allied

The following is an excerpt from .
copy of the program of the European

in Kansas:

sounding off. And on our own United

in visions, the green hills behind the

clothes on the grass to dry; they see
the winding streets of the quaint
towns where the doughgob whistled
rythmically, and up nearer the one
time cootie lines, the wheat waving,
where once John Buck searched for
the elusive potato vine. They see the
trenches breaking along the terrain
and tangled wire like a gridiron rum
ner lodging thru a field of tackles
In those same trenches they trained
the hopping freckles banqueted on
goldfish and willie, slept on the gravel
mattresses, and stood watch while the

moonlight and tried to dope out the

PAOLA WOULD BACK UP
City Changes Mind on Increase in
Gas Rate.

Paola wants to back up on its new
gas rate agreement with the local dis
tributing company. The town recently
agreed to pay a 5 cent increase to
cover an advance in gate rate charges
to the local company. Now it wants
to set aside the agreement.
The public utilities commission re-
ceived a copy of the new gas rate or
dinance, but has failed to sign it. In
the meantime, however, the Paola city
officials have taken action and the
state commission has been notified
that the town does not want to. pay
the gas rate increase if not required
to do so under court order.

London, July S.-The trouble which
caused the vatican carabineers to be
ordered from stheir barracks, appears
to have been adjusted, according to a
Rome dispatch to the Times.
Two of the principals of the mall
contents who were supported in their
refusal to go on duty by the fifty
carabineers in the vatican have re-
signed. and it is believed that one of
the demands of the carabineers for
increased pay has been granted, altho
vatican officials explain that all of
their demands cannot be met as the
vatican is short of money.
