OIL PIPE LINE CONPl ETED
Topeka Edison Company Is Using Oil
for Fuel.


The pipe line between the new 231-
car oil reservoir of the Topeka Edison
company and the power plant of the
company at Eighth avenue and Van
Buren, has been completed. and all
fuel oil is now being unloaded at the
reservoir and pumped thru the line, to
the plant.
I'm an emergency. we could still
switch cars to the plant and unload
the fuel oil there. but we plan to
handle it all thru the pipe line" A. H
Purdy, manager of the company,
stated today.
In a short time it will be necessary
to heat the oil at the reservoir before
It is pumped into the pipe line Purdy
says. In cold weather the fluid thick
ems to the point where it will not flow
freely thru the six inch line. and a
special steam boiler has been installed
to heat it to the flowing point. Thus
far. it hasn't been necessary to heat it
after the summer sun got in it's work
The pumps are run by electricity, and
the sole mission of the steam plant is
to heat the oil.

DOD6G BROTHER 9
BUSINESS 5EDAN

Exceptional interest has been aroused by the
practical arrangement of the interior.
The entire rear compartment furnishings
seat, seat cushions, back cushions, seat
frame, foot rest, carpet and al-can be re-
moved from the car in a few moments.
The front seat is then tilted forward giving
a gross clearance Of twenty-five inches
through the rear doors.
In this way, a space of sxty-fou cubic feet
in the rear compartment is made available
for loading.
When the rear seat fixtures are back in
place, the interior is complete and attrac-
tive in appearance Its convertbity is not
apparent to the eye.
Business men, farmers, statesmen, campers,
tourists and everyone who has occasion, at
times to carry bulky articles or luggage,
will readily appreciate the great utility Of
this construction.

WITNESS DESCRIBES
Staying Of WOMAN
IN INSURANCE CASE
J. A. Briggs on Trial for
Murder of His Sister
in-Law.

Greeley, Col, Nov. Isl. A. Briggs
former school teacher testifying Tues
day in the trial of Bert J. Lowe, ac-
cused slayer of his sister-in-law, Ed
ma Fern Skinner, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
declared he heard "shrill piercing and
heartrending creams of an adult WON
an" in the Lowe house on the morn
ing of July 2, the day Of the alleged
Staying.
Briggs, regarded as one Of the
states most important witnesses, lv-
ed next door to the Lowe home at that
time. Screams of ooh! DON'T" fol-
lowed a terrible sharp double piercing
cry, the witness said.
Then there was a short. stifled
scream Briggs asserted, land a
series of low moans."
Briggs said he was going down eel
lar from the rear outside of his house
when he heard the cries and stopped
to listen. After returning from the
cellar. he said, he told his wife what
he had heard and looked through a
window at the Lowe residence.
He said he saw Lowe come out OF
the front door of the place and go to
front door of his own house. He then
heard his wife call the fire depart
ment upon loves request, he said
Turning back to the window he saw
smoke come from the kitchen and ran
with a bucket of water to the rear
door, he declared.
The state alleges that Lowe killed
his sister-in-law and then set the
house on fire to collect on al insur-
ance policy he had sold her with him
self named as beneficiary.

WAR WARNING
IS SOUNDED
BY PERSH|NC
Pleads for Preparedness
IN Address at Min
n~eapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 2S.-An appeal to
the nation to look cold. hard facts IN
the face and not forget our obliga-
tons in the blind hope that we may
not again engage in armed conflict,
marked an address delivered mere
Tuesday by General Pershing under
the auspices Of the American Defense
society.
AT present we do not see definite
indications, but none of us can tell
whether we shall have war in five, ten
or twenty years. General Pershing
said. IF we knew now to a certainty
that armed conflict would come in 20
years there would be an INN ediate de-
mand for preparations. Yet that is the
approximate interval that We have had
in the past between major wars.
There is no reason to think that the
immediate future will bring about a
cessation of war even though it was
said that we entered the world war
to bring about the end Of war;
Values Military Training
General Pershing devoted most of
his address to discussing the value of
military training as a school Of good
citizenship, making reference iQ this
connection to the findings of the recent
educational conference in Washington.
The conclusions of that conference, he
said, were that the training given in
reserve elements of the army and. at
civilian training camps constitute an
effective machinery through which
much can be done not only to benefit
the individual from the standpoint of
his physique and self-discipiine. but
from the standpoint of his relations
to til government that protects him
and which he is under obligations to
Defend
The chief of staff stressed again
draft statistics that show 30 per cent
Of the young men called out during
the war to have been personally sub
normal, largely due to defects durable
by proper training. and that one-fourth
OF the persons examined were unable
to read and write orr common Ian
guage and that more than 10 per cent
cannot even successfully speak
English"
