TO HELP DISABLED VETS
Plans Under Way for State Headquar-
tiers in Topeka.

Plans for the organization of a
state headquarters of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World War
are to be formulated at a meeting of
the local chapter of the organization
at the American Legion Hall, 2IO
West Sixth avenue, tonight. There
are five local chapters in the state. at
Pittsburg, Manhattan, Lawrence,
Wichita and Topeka.
1t is planned to have the state head
quarters in Topeka, to handle all Kan
sas cases of disabled veterans who
have not received the full compensa-
ton to which they are entitled
The proposition of organizing n col
ored chapter among the colored stu
dents of the Kansas Industrial and
Educational Institute near Topeka
who are receiving vocational training
there at the expense of the govern
ment, will also be considered.
The membership or the Topeka
chapter is steadily being increased, by
the addition of disa bled veterans, and
there are still other disabled men in
the city who are eligible for mem
bership.
A budget calling for the expendi-
ture of $500 for the immediate needs
of the local chapter and the establish
ment of a state headquarters, will be
presented to the active clubs of the
city, thru the Chamber of Commerce,
in the near future. Two members of
the committee which will present the
plan for raising the money by popu-
lad subscription are DR.. Edmund J.
Kulp. pastor of the First Methodist
church, and Col. Frank L. Travis.
Other members of the committee will
be added at 'tonight's meeting.
The organization claims to have
performed many services for the dis
abled veterans of the war. A ruling
has been established permitting vet
Grams who are receiving vocational
training, to keep the books and tools
with which they were supplied; a
claim service with headquarters one
block from the Veterans bureau of
the government in Washington; an
average of twenty five claims a day
of disabled veterans are being settled,
thru the efforts of the organization
local chapters are providing enter
tainment for men in hospital, club
house facilities, and summer vacation
camps.
The disabled veterans organization
and the American Legion are CO.
operating to secure the most benefits
of government compensation for dis
a bled men.

who was up for reelection. was able
to beat him out.
Down in Texas, Senator CuIbertson
is facing one of the bitterest battles
career because he started his cam
paign for reelection with fiery con-
demnation of the Klan.
CuIberson Has a Fight.
IF not curbed, it will usurp the
functions of the state and be de-
structive of government ITSELF said
Culberson, of the Klan, and it met his
defiance of its hooded legions by pit
ting a senatorial candidate against
him.
The Klan aspirant for Culberson's
seat is r. L. Henry, of Waco. a former
Democratic member of the house,
who, as chairman of its all-powerful
rules committee for a number of
years, was once a familiar figure
about the capital.
''I am in favor of the Ku Klux
Klan," Henry announced recently.
Senator Culberson recently said, the
khan must be destroyed 1 say to
him that the khan must and shall sur
vive in Texas and thruout the country.
Oklahoma Also Sees Scrap.
'T hope that the opposition will not
force US into a bitter and unrelenting
religious warfare, but if they do,
wherever you find me in this state,
you VIII 1lnd me going about with
the fiery cross in one hand, symbol
izing the Christian religion, and the
American flag in the other"
In Oklahoma, James H. Mathers,
former prosecutor of Carter county,
who was chief counsel for Clara
Smith, slayer of Jake Hamon, has just
announced himself as a candidate for
attorney general on a platform

King George and Queen Mary sent
a farewell message to Major Blake,
wishing him success. As the machine
was being overhauled, admirers
crowded around, tying mascots to 1t.
A large crowd gathered at Croydon
aerodrome and cheered Justify as the
powerful machine rose skyward. The
government ministry of aviation was
represented. Major Blake and his
companions received numerous mes
sages wishing them success and safe

Tugs to Accompany Part Way.
A fIotilla of tugs will be sent to the
Aleutian Islands and to other vantage
points where there is a sea passage.
The machines will all be equipped
with wireless so that the airmen can
keep in constant touch with land
while aloft.
Major Blake has arranged for es-
pecially constructed flying boats as a
measure of safety in the event he and
his companions are obliged to alight
while flying over stormy weather.
Increased interest was taken in the
start of the flight due to the fact that
this is Empire day and visitors gath
cred in London from all parts of the
British empire.
Major Blake served in the Royal
Flying corps during the war. Since
the war he has continued flying. Cap

MAY ELECTRIFY P. B. & w. r. r
Plans Being Considered by Pennsyl
vania r. X. for New York Washington

Plans Being Considered by Pennsyl
vania r. r. for New YOrk-W WashingtOn
Serious consideration is being given
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to propositions looking to the
electrifcation of its lines between New
York and Washington. 1t is not ex-.
pected that any move toward actual
work will be made in the immediate
future in view of existing difficulty in
raising large sums of money. But
according to Elisha Lee ce-president
of the Pennsylvania, "electnfication
may come sooner than most people ex-
pect." 1t has been known for some
time that the Pennsylvania investiga-
ted the cost of electrifying its Balti-
more terminals and that these investi-
cations, which took in construction
were extended to the entire line from
Baltimore to Washington. 1t also has
data as to the cost and feasibility of
electrifying the line from New York
to Washington. The New York term
inals already are electrified, and the
line from Broad Street Station, Phil
adelphia, as far as Paoli, is electrified
Electrification in these spots works
splendidly, it is said, and has fully
justified the change from steam.
Gustav Lindenthal, world famous con-
struction engineer, in an article in
Golfers on "What Is Ahead in Trans
portation," takes the view that cleo
trifcation of railroad lines is bound to
come. He refers to the electrifcation
of the Pennsylvania from Broad street
to Paoli, and states that "plans are in
hand to electrify the line to Baltimore
and Washington" Mr.. Lee, in dis
cussing the matter in his Office at
Broad street station Thursday, said
this was not altogether correct in the
sense that the Pennsylvania had def
mite plans. 1t would be more nearly
correct, he said, to say the company
had data from which the plans could
be developed. "Of course" he said,
"every operating railroad man knows
that electrifcation of lines in the more
densely settled sections is bound TO
come"

FEDERAL AID FOR OUR ROADS
Bill Which Passed House Will Give
Delaware Over S682.0O0

Under the Federal aid road bill
passed by the House of Congress,
more than $682,OOO will be available
within the next two years in Federal
funds for the construction of high
ways in Delaware. The bill passed
by the House would appropriate $685.
100000 for road construction through
out the country during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1923, and $75.OOO,OOO
to be similarly expended during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1924. 1t
is estimated that Delaware will re-
ceive $4,000 during the first year
and $4,000 the second year. Pass
age of the bill by the House, with
favorable action in the Senate regard
ed as certain, will give impetus to
road construction, not only in Della
ware, and relieve the anxiety which
has been felt because of the depletion
of Federal funds. Proponents said
that is would aid in solving the unem-
ployment problem.
