AMENDMENTS NOT
To CO ON BALLOT
PETITIONS FOR THE PAROCHIAL
AND OTHER AMENDMENTS
FAIL IN SIGNATURES.

Three proposed amendments to the
Michigan constitution were killed
automatically Thursday when pro-
ponents of the measure failed to file
Letitions carrying the 100000 sigma
lures necessary to submit them to
the voters at the forthcoming state
election to be held this fall
The amendments included one
that would require all children of
school age to attend public schools
and in effect abolish parochial and
private schools; another, to abolish
the moiety clause and TO make ap-
portionment for the state legislature
strictly on population basis and the
third to make the office of superin-
tendent Of the public instruction ap-
pointive instead of elective.
The petition for the so-called pa
rochial school amendment carried
only slightly more than 1000 sigma
tures, it was announced. According
to a statement to Detroit today by
JAS. Hamilton one Of the sponsors of
the movement, however, initiatory
petitions carrying 10000 signatures
have been received, but are being
withheld following decision to delay
a vote until next April.
The amendment to change the
status of the office of superintendent
of public instruction was 81 900 sig
natures short of the required num-
Der, according to figures from the
office of secretary of state, where
the petitions are filed. This propo-
sal, it was said, came nearer receiv.
ing the required number of sigma.
lures than any Of the others.
The movement for abolition of the
moiety clause received its principa
support in Detroit which would OBJ
tain increased legislative represen-
tation under the proposed change.

BIC RACING CARD
Total Of 24O Entries for Free
Fair Races.
New System Adopted for This
Years Program.

Taking the number of entries as an
indication. the appetites of Kansas
race fans should be wholly satisfied
by the horse races to be held at the
Kansas Free Fair next week.
There are $40 entries from the best
and fastest racing stables in the west.
/ Old timers asserted that the races last
year were the best seen on the local
track in the last twenty-five years and
the predictions are that the meet this
year will be sven better.
The new system adopted this year
the system OF adding ali entrance
fees to the purse-may be largely re-
sponsible for the manner in which the
s local meet is attracting the big stables
+ this season. The system will result in
much larger purses. and these. it is
conceded. are what draw the best
horses.
Among the horses entered for next
week the fans will find many old
favorites, many of them were winners
on the Topeka track last season.
Among them are Willie Chimes,
Oteola, Sweet Time, Moko Sym, Anna,
3. and Verilie Hal Among the en-
tries are most OF the horses whose
performance has created much at1en-
ton on western tracks this season and
the visitors to- the Topeka meet may
expect some real excitement when
the gong sounds. OF course, all the
horses entered will not start, but it Is
+ reasonable to expect that there will
be such a large number that 1t will
necessitate some split races.
The races will be held Monday,
tuesday, Thursday and Friday after
Moons. The program will consist of
the 2:25 trot, 2:20 trot, 2:25 pace, 2:17
pace, 2:1O pace. 2:17 trot, 2:12. trot,
2:15 trot, 3-year-old trot, 2:2O pace,
2:14 pace and 3-year-old pace.
= A rrnRT9n1 Of running races in
Guiding the Kansas Derby, is also be-
ing arranged. There are 1913 entries
in the early closing races and forty
two in the late closing races.

DEATH GAINS ON TOPEKlNS
Stork Is Outdistanced During First
Half of 1922.


Half of 1922.
A lower birth rate and a heavier
death rate in Topeka during 1922 is
indicated in, the figures for the first
six months announced by DIR. Earle
G. Brown. city health officer. Should
the ratio be carried out the rest of
the year, there will be LAB more
deaths than in 1921 and 121 less
births, Doctor Brown said.
During 1924 the death rate was
fourteen persons to each 1000, or TIA
for the year. There were 1,247 living
births, or a rate of 24.5 to 1000, popu-
lation. In the first six months of 1922
there were 42S deaths, or 1913 to each
1000 persons. During that same
period there were 563 births, or % for
each 1000.
The prevalence of acute infectious
diseases is blamed for-sthe increased
death rate Pneumonia, during these
six months, caused eighty -four deaths;
cancer, sixty-seven; tuberculosis, fif-
teen; influenza, eleven, and diphtheria,
nine. An increase in the number of
violent deaths also was noted. These
include three murders, one suicide,
two drownings. eight fatal automobile
accidents and one motorcycle accident.

CLEAN UP ON PROGRAM
State To Get Buildings Under Way
Before 1928 Session.

The state will probable get its en-
tire three and a half million dollar
building program for state institutions
under way before the legislature
meets. OF fifty-seven specific build
ing projects thirty-six have been COM
pleted, three new contracts will be let
this month and plans for sixteen adj
ditional buildings are now being pre-
pared by the state architect.
Most of the buildings which have
been completed are nominal priced
structures-many of them costing less
than $4,000 each. Two dormitories
one at the Emporia normal and an
other at Pittsburg-will be finished
this month. These buildings cost
$125.0o0 each.
Buildings for which the legislature
appropriated $2,630.499 have either
been completed or will be finished
this month. On these structures

of $157,03S as result of drops in
costs of building materials.

The Actress Who Was Graceful

Soed Herself Be One Of Those Fine Types Who Play the

l. was found to be unsuitable for a
certain part after few rehearsals In
It.
She was given another part, less i'm.
portant, and come one else was ''im-
ported" to take the principal role.
The deposcd actress stood at one
side and watched her at one rehearsal
and you know that Is something hard
to do.
It is one thing to watch some one do
something poorly that you know you
could do well but 1t IL another and
different task to see sorne one else do

TT WAS hard for the actress with the

that the circumstances were not re-

not do anything more than that to
hurt her.

Car, You Tell?
Where the First Birds Came From
By r. J. and A. ". Bodmer

When We think OF the first birds We
are apt to suppose that there we're orig
inally created one or more kinds OF
birds. and that the many varieties
found in the world today developed
from the original parent birds. That is
true, of course, If we start with the
first birds, but this was long time
after the first animal life came upon the
earth, before there were any birds at
all. Animals. which afterward turned
into birds, or from which birds devel-
oped. existed, but they did not rcsem-
bic birds In any way, for our feathered
friends developed from the ugly. scaly
crawling lizard. That is difficult TO un-
derstand. but the records Of geology
prove il to be true.
The changes in environment and the
habit of animal l!fe caused by the
changes in climate. available food and
the necessity Of defense on the part OF
the smaller creatures, and other cond!-
tioas in which the animals found them :
selves, have had marvellous effects on
the size. appearance and cleverness OF
animal creatures.
There Is no way in which man can
tell how long 1t took. or how many
changes had to be gone through to con :
yer. a lizard into bird. Hidden away
in our rocks, however, have been found
bodies Of animals which lived in pre-
historic times. how long before man ap
peared is not known. AZ this time in
the worlds growth. what is today rock
was mud and water. AS the animal;
died their bodies sank into the mud and
as time passed nature changed this mud
into solid rock, 50 that these bodies BE- =
came part Of the solid rock. After CEN
turtles man IS able, by studying THESE
fossils. TO show how birds developed from
