(By S. D. Flora, MeteorOloglst)

Last month was the wettest Sep
tember Topeka has experienced in
eight years and the sixth warmest on
record, with more sunshine than any
other month of the name. except one,
since the local record was begun, ac-
cording to the detailed summary of
the weather bureau. Temperatures
ranged from degrees to II degrees
above normal the first eight days and
the highest ever recorded at Topeka
in September occurred on the first
when the thermometer rose to 104 de-
grees. There was a light frost on
the eleventh, but no damage resulted.
The total rainfall was 5.51 inches.
which is 1877 inches above normal and
makes this the wsttest month in
years time, with the exception of
last July. The rains were well distrib-
uted thru the month.
There was a better movement of
wind than usual. The highest velocity
was 40 miles an hour from the west
on the second. Twenty days of the
month were clear, five partly cloudy,
and five cloudy.
The combination of abundant mois-
ture, high temperatures, and ample
sunshine made it one of the finest
crop growing Septembers on the local
market. Most corn was too near ma
turity to be benefited, but pastures
and the fourth crop of alfalfa took on
a new lease of life and made marked
improvement. The wet weather also
helped the apple crop and to some ex-
ten the grain sorghums. Corn was
practically all cut, fall rye was sown
and came up to fine stands, and some
wheat sowing was done.

SLANG OF GOOD OLD DAYS"
Great-Grandfathe Enlightens Flap- per as to the Meaning of Some
 Terms of Long Ago.

"IIe's poor nut" jeered the flap per.
 ''1n '59 we should have called him a 'ninny-hammer,' put in her great grandfather unexpectedly.
 The 1lapper looked interested. What was '59 for hip-pocket?' asked she.
 "'BingO,'" answered the old man promptly. And home brew we should have called 'blue-ruin'; "a gentleman occasionally was 'disguised.'
 'Go on," cried the fiapper, delighted.
 You, my dear"-he bowed to her would have been smart as a carrot in my day. Some of your contem- poraries I've seen 'slammocking' about In their 'clumpers, more like men than women, but you are always-.jim- my"
 Next you'll be telling me you shirn- mied in '59!"
 "No we hopped Do you know what we meant by 'hummer'?"
 "A good one," guessed the fiapper. How did you get eXcited?"
 'We were in a 'pucker,' or we went on burst or there was a 'plather,'" said her great-grandfather. Then he ended: But there's one word that your generation cant parallel What did we mean by 'mannersbitT
 "You have me, grandfather" ad- mitted the tlapper.
 The old man opened a little, worn book on the table beside him and read: Mannersbit-a portion of a dish left by the guests, that the host may not feel himself reproached.' Those were good old days-what?" said he.

HIGH FOOD VALUE OF DATES
Ideal Diet Never Properly Appreciated by the American Public, Is
 Physicians Assertion.

'The value of the date as a food is not half appreciated by the American public" writes Dr. John Harvey Kel- loSg. "The date not only furnishes a variety of sugar which is readily as- simulated and which is much more wholesome than cane sugar, but it SUD- plies fine quality of food iron. An ounce of dates, in fact, supplies one third more food iron than an ordinary beefsteak and iron of much finer quality.
 "The date is equally superior as a source of food lime and other food salts, supplying seven times as much lime as does beef tenderloin. The date requires nothing bat the simple addi- ton of milk to constitute a complete diet. A pound of dates and quart of milk afford nourishment not only suf- hcient in quantity to supply the needs of the average person, but of the high est quality.
 "The American people are suffering from lime starvation, which is result ing not only In loss of stature, due to lack of bone development, but an al-N most universal decay of teeth. The free use of dates with milk as part of the American breakfast would con- hse greatly to improvement of the national health and the lowering of the mortality rate" :,

REPUBLICANS HOLE
 ON HOUSE IS SLIM
Will Have Bare Majority Of Seven in the New Congress; G. 0. P.
 Blames "UnrCst."

Chicago, Nov. 9.-A continuation Of Republican control in congress, but with a majority of IS in the House slashed to seven and Senate ma jority cut in half, was assured to- might by practically complete reports from Tuesdays election.
 Tight races and belated returns leave the exact majorities in doubt for two days, but returns from the Third Kansas, the last district to re- port in the congressional race, ap- parently assures the election of W. Is. Sproul
 With this district Republican, the sixty-eighth House of Representative twill be composed of 225 Republicans, l POT Democrats, one Socialist, one FarmerLabor and one independent.
 In the senatorial contests late re- turns, which indicated the election or Lynn J. Frazier, recalled Nonpartisan | League governor in North Dakota, and the victory of Clarence C. Dill. Dem ocrat, in Washington. did not change the general complexion of the upper house.
 These returns forecast that the next Senate will have 5 Republicans, loss of seven, F Democrats, and one Farmer-Labor senator, from Minneso~ ta.
 New Democratic Governors. With Kansas the Democrats in the Middle West annexed the governor ship in three states, including Ohio and Nebraska all having had Repub- lican governors. The Democrats also retained the Oklahoma and Texas governorships. The Republicans re- elected governors in Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and North and South Dakota.
 The two old parties broke about even for United States senator, Demo- crats elected senators in Indiana and Michigan, defeating Republican in- cumbents, and the Republicans de- foated Democratic senators from Ohio and Nebraska. The Republican sena- torial seats in Iowa and Wisconsin were retained.
