1t always comes, and whether in a
physical or spiritual sense, always
catches some folks unprcparcl Tor
1t, and this has been the case since
time began, and will be as long as
time lasts. Ignorance, laziness or
misfortune brings severity and suf-
fering upon women and children. The
strong must bear the iniirmitics of
the weak. There are women and chill
dren living under conditions that we
would not tolerate for horse or dog,
and we need not 60 to Armenia or
Russia or anywhere else outside our
own territory, to find them. Shoeless
stockingless. almost houseless, these
women and children suffer.
Temporary help is needed and must
be given, but more should be done
These people, many of them, could
do better and improve their condi-
tions if they knew how. Every coun.
ty needs county agent or nurse,
such as Miss Lambert who was here
to show the people, not only what to
do In sickness but how to live.
AT this glad season, cannot some
one or more persons be found in each

needy ones, and act the part of the
good Samaritan, as shown in our

According to the Bible, the rain
falls alike on the just and unjust And
last nights storm demonstrated that
it didn't show any more discrimina-
ton about what make of motor car
it soaked up and waterlogged. Little
ones, big ones, middIe-siZed ones, got
their sensitive wiring wet, and then
they baked and sputtered and fixed,
and answered the fearful profanity
of their drivers with venomous and
vigorous profanity of their own
As a result many regulations were
ruined. The young gallants who
parked their busses in front of the
only girls homes had to leave them
there all night. and not a rev parties
out riding were late getting home.
The rain last night was Just the sort
of a rain to give an automobile bron-
chial trouble. 1t was accompanied by
dashing. whipping wind which
hurried water in under the hood and
to the points where IL would do the
most damage.
Most of the cars in difficulties were
not in serious trouble. A couple of
hours to dry out are about all most
cars needed.
James Z. Wilson. garage man. said
this morning that his men were
called last night to render first aid to
nineteen cars. including the police car.
which got wet and went on strike.
Most of them. he said. only needed
to be towed a block or SO, and they
regained their health and activity.
Six of them had to be pulled into the
garage for further attention.

Street Car Service Was Grip
pied by Storm Tuesday Night.
Several Hundred Feet of L. p.
Track washed Out.

Street car service was interrupted
in all parts of Topeka between the
hours of and 10 o'clock Tuesday
night, when Topeka received a rain
for the third successive, day this week.
1t measured 1.04 inches. making the
total precipitation for the three day
period 5.14 inches. Officials of the
Topeka Railway company reported no
damage from electricity. The service
was interrupted on account of the
and the falling of broken limbs and
trees on the wires.
A windstorm in the nature of a
small twiSter occurred in the district
northeast of the Santa Fe shops.
Many trees were destroyed. The
largest damage was reported on Ohio
avenue between Seward avenue and
Division street and on a portion of
State street in that vicinity. Damage
was also reported in Oakland.
Washout on Union Pacific.
Seven hundred feet of Union Pa
cific track was undermined by high
water Tuesday night between Wa
mego and ST. George, about forty
miles west of Topeka, interrupting
train service for several hours. The
washout occurred in two different
places where the track is subject to
frequent overflow. [
Westboupd passenger train No. los.
which left Topeka last evening at
$3.50 O'Clock, was the first train to be
delayed by the washout, followed
closely by No. '119. which left Topeka.
at S:07 o'clock. Both of these trains
were held at Wamego until the track
could be supported by temporary fill
ing. which required several hours.
Train No. 102 was only an hour late
this morning and other trains are
again running on schedule time.

so HAGUE FOLLOWS GENOA
Russian Conference Breaks Down.
With Ldt,Ie Hope of Renewal.
(By the Associated Presg.1

The Hague. July 1.-THE confer
ence with repi esentatives of soviet
Russia here broke down at / o'clock
this afternoon without apparent hope
of further meeting.
Maxim Litvinoff. of the Russian
delegation. said on leaving the confer
ence chamber that further meetings
were unlikely. as the non Russians in.
sisted upon the Russians making
promises with regard to property COM
pensation and giving guarantees which
were impossible until the Russians
knew what credit and loans would be
granted.
M LItvinoff added that the peace
pact would hold for one month aftes
the last meeting.
IN the conference session today
President Patyn after hearing the
Russian explanation concerning the
restitution OF confiscated foreign
property. announced that no useful
purpose would be served in continuing
the discussions.
Sir Philip Lloyd Greame of Greae
Britain said he would consult his col.
leagues as to whether any good coul@
be served by a further meeting Of the
sub-commission on property.

PLACED PREMIUM ON LOSING.
Johnny Buff Got $4,000 from Joe
Lynch for Dropping Title.

New York, July 12.-The New York
state athletic commission today will
make an investigation of the report
tnat Joe Lynch was forced by the
articles of agreement to paw Johnny
Buff nearly $4,000 for losing his
lightweight title on Monday
By the terms of the agreement, is is
said Buff was to receive 40 per cent
net receipts if he won and a $4,000
flat guarantee from Lynch If johnny
lost. As the net receipts amounted
to about $4,000. Lynch was forced to
make up the difference.
Therefore, since Buff is said to have
received nearly $4,000 more for los
ing than he would have received for
winning, the commission holds that a
premium was held on dishonesty.
