URGE STUDY OF
NATIONAL
Judge Martin ]. Wade Member Of
Committee Urging States to
Adopt Plan.

Judge Martin j. Wade, Iowa City,
United States district judge in
Iowa and we'll known in the tri-
cities, is a member of the committee
of the National Security league
which is urging legislatures of each
state in the union to pass bill re-
curing definite courses of study OF
the United States constitution.
The security league has for some
years been devoting a great deal of
its attention to the popularization
of the constitution of the United
States and has repeatedly called at
tention to the inadequacy of con-
stitutional instruction in the public
schools of the country.
The league is promoting this
campaign through a committee on
constitutional instruction which al
ready includes over 200 of the
leading educators of the country
The chairman of the committee is
Lloyd Taylor, secretary of the
league, a retired New York mer-
chant, who has been devoting his
entire time to patriotic and public
welfare work.
Illinois is being represented or
the committee by DR.. w. F. Quill
Ian, president of Wesleyan college
of Bloomington. However, the only
four states which now have a Law
requiring constitutional study are
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Yer
mont.
The contemplated bill reads IL
part:
such instruction in the consti
tutions of the United States shall
begin not later than the opening o.
the eighth grade and shall con
tinue in the high school course and
in courses of state colleges, univer
stiles and the educational de
partments of state and municipal
institutions TO an extent to be de
ter1nined by the superintendent o
public instruction"

routine course the matter was re-
ported to international heAdquar-
ters. There the matter was taken
up Immediately, with the result that
last year in this country alone as
0oo boys and girls who intended 70
quit school at the end OF their
grammar school course for various
reasons, were persuaded 10 continue
their educations.
Membership in q Rotary club is
no honorary AFFAIR. Most meetings
are weekly luncheons. -Four con-
secutive absences for other than ILL
ness or absence from the city
forces any member out automatic
ally. This has proven effective in
keeping Rotary out of the class of
organizations with non-active men,
berships.
The name Rotary was taken
originally from the fact that the
original group of four men in Chi
| cago were to hold meetings In each
others once in rotation. Since, the
name has been adapted to the sue
cession of officers Of the club, as the
Offices must rotate, with the excep-
l
urer. 1t is rare indeed that any
other exception Is made to this
| rule.
Seeks Opportunities, Not Thanks.
| The principles OF the organiza-
ton are carried into action in many
ways. Rotary is depended upon tc
get behind every kind of a move
ment for the betterment OF the com.
munity. There are some jobs thai
the clubs do when no other agen,
cies exist for their proper per.
Torrance. But it is one of tht
fundamental rules OF the organiza
ton to claim no credit for any
thing to thank any othel
organization or element in the com
munity for the opportunity to maxi
itself useful.
Here is what Paul Harris, tn,
originator of the idea, now interna
tional president emeritus and still
an active Rotarian, has to say:
: Rotary has dedicated itself Il
the advance of an ideal, the idea
of service. If the world once be
comes imbued with the spirit o
, service there will be no more &C
casion for war; the brotherhood 0
man will be here.
THE accomplishments of Rotar-
to date have been impressive in
, deed, its spontaneous spread froI
one country to another has bee
without precedent. There is a rea
son for such remarkable success;
lies in the fact that Rotary ha
placed its dependence upon tn
) most dependable attribute of men
friendliness; doubts and suspicion
? disappear when friendship enter:
brotherhood of man is friend
. ship, all inclusive, and Rotar
r therefore believes that in cultivat
. ing friendship, the means it ha
used in seeking the advancement {
o its ideal, service, it is assisting
/ made actual the highest and might
a lest of all human conceptions-th
brotherhood Of man"

COAL PRICE WAR
Cost to Consumer Is Reduced
by Local Dealers.
Not Much Danger Now Of
Shortage in Topeka.

An alleged price war which has be-
gun to rage among at least part of
the Topeka coal dealers was operating
to the benefit of consumers today. The
chief disagreement among the dealers
seemed to involve the price of South
ern Kansas lump and nut coal. Prices
on the nut coal varied from 1915 to
$1,000 and on lump coal from s10.25
to s11 today.
The opinions of dealers also varied
widely as to the available supply and
the probabilities of market variations
in the future. Some declared there
was no possibility of coal getting any
higher. while others declared that it
couldn't remain at the present level
very long. Only on one question We're
theSr anywhere near unanimous. And
that was that the price might not go
any higher provided the weather re-
mains warn. and the mines catch Up.
No Danger OF Shortage.
AS a matter of fact. after absorbing
all the inforn1a ton which Topeka coal
dealers could put out, one wondered
what one ought to DO about laying in
the winter supply. 1t was apparent
however, that there is not much dan
ger of a severe coal shortage and
that no one need lie awake nights
wondering how to obtain fuel
The Southern Kansas, or Cherokee
variety of coal. has been selling at $11
and s11.25. while the price on nut has
ranged around 5000. Then, it is
asserted, one dealer cut the price
ION the quiet" As soon as this was
found out, another followed suit.
Some of the dealers, however, are still
getting the price that prevailed a few
days ago.
The belief was expressed in ali quar-
ters that even in the event of a cold
snap, the price would go no higher
than the levels prevailing a few days
ago. Burlingame can now be pur-

The southern Kansas lump costs
the dealers Sc a ton at the mines
while nut costs $3.50. One dealer said
the freight on lump is S2.25 and OF
nut $1.90. Another declared the rates
were only s2.07 and s1.70, respect
