TO COVER STATE
Kansas Automobile Owners To
Be Organized Is Plan.
Meeting Tonight Will Start Ac-
tiOn in Kansas.
LEGISLATION FIRST OBJECT
To Secure Spending of Auto
License Fees on Roads.
Other Services VIII Be Added as
Movement Grows.

Action will be taken tonight look
ing toward the formation of a state
automobile owners association in
Kansas, which is expected to WELD a
considerable influence in the highway
legislation and problems of the state
in the immediate future.
A committee composed of George
w. Stansfield, president of the Victory
Highway association; H. S. Putney,
chairman of the good roads committee
of the Chamber of Commerce; G. c.
Sickler. secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Clem w. Seeley, Sec
retary of the Topeka Automobile club,
will report tonight at the Chamber of
Commerce to the Automobile club on
the plan for the state association.
Ask Local Club for Support.
The committee has appointed a sub
committee composed of Sickler, Seeley,
and Putney, which is to draft a con-
stitution and bylaws for the state or
ganization. They have also tentatively
selected a manager for the association.
They will ask the local automobile
club to back them in carrying out
their plans for the larger organiza-
ton.
There are more than 100000
automobile owners in this state. They
are not getting value for the money
which is collected for them in auto
mobile license fees. under the present
state laws a member of the commit
tee said today. TT is the automobile
owners that we want to organize. The
question of good roads scares the pol
iticians. and incites the farmers who
are already overloaded with taxes, to
do murder. But it isn't a question of
Gnandinp the IA 6rS' f9XpS good
roads.
"The money has already been COL
1ected from the automobile owners
for the purpose of improving the
Dads. 1t is being held in the treas
ury because it can't be spent for any
other purpose and it isn't being spent
for good roads. 1t is up to the county
commissioners, under the present road
laws. and the county commissioners
aren't spending it. The automobile
owners-300, zoo of them-have paid
it in and nobody is getting any good
out of it,
Legislation First Object.
Legislation which will permit the
use of these funds for the benefit of
the roads of the state is the first OBJ
ject of the proposed organization.
which is to be instituted tonight.
There are other tentatively planned
activities for the organization, such as
are carried on by other state asSocia-
tions, but they will come later. The
linking up of the various services
which are authorized by the local
automobile clubs of the state into a
coherent service. is one of the projects
which is to wait until the urgent mat
ter of legislation for the protection
of the automobile owners is settled.
1t had been originally planned to
have the Topeka Automobile club be-
come the parent organization of the
state association. This idea has been
abandoned.
The personal, individual support or
the members of the club will be
sought, but the organization will be
separate entirely from the Topeka

ASK FOR FREEDOM
HOWat and DOrchy Would Give
Peace Bonds.
Attorney Arranges to File
Paper Promises To Be Good.

Pittsburg, Kan. Jan. 24.-A1exander
Howat and August Dorchy, deposed
and imprisoned officials of the Kan
sas coal miners union were preparing
today to seek their release from the
Columbus Jail.
Attorney Phil Gallery, it was stated,
was arranging for the filing of peace
bonds which would secure their lib
erty.
Howat and Dorchy have already
served over four months of a six
months Jail sentence, imposed when
they refused to file peace bonds of
$4,000, following their conviction in
district court for violation of the Kan
sas industrial law. The bonds were
required as a guarantee they would
obey the anti-strike law of Kansas
pending appeal of their conviction.
1t was said here that Howat desires
his liberty in order to appear at the
coal miners convention in Indianapolis
on February IA to take up his fight
against John L. Lewis, United Mine
Workers president.
1t is likely that Alexander Howat
and August Dorchy will provide
$1,000 peace bonds at an early date.
AS soon as the bonds are provided the
men will be released from the Chero-
kee county jail at Columbus.
The two mine union chiefs have
been in Jail since early October. Re
ports received in Topeka are to the
effect that they now plan to meet re-
quirements of the Cherokee county
district court and give peace bonds.

Miss Lucy Page CASTOR Is
No1O About To Boost the
FagManufdcturers Trade
In TRADE Against Women Smoking Cigarettes, She De
clares One Cigarette Has Same "Kick" AS Two Ounces
of Whisky-She Does Not Say How She Knows

high school girls in small communi-
ties, is warning them that cigarets
spoil beauty, coarsen the voice, cause
superfluous hair, sap vitality, make
old hags out of them long before
their time, and wreck moral stamina.
Morally, she says, with vigor. it is no
worse for a woman to smoke than a
man, but physically it's different. A
woman, because of her delicate or
ganism,- cannot stand up under cigar
cts. The effect of smoking on women
is the same, she says, as on the adol-
escent boy.
Have Powerful Kick.
Many girls do not realize, she point
ed out, that the furfuraI poison in one
cigaret has as much "kick" as two
ounces of whisky.
Miss CASTOR says $1,000. 900, 900
cigarets were made in the last year,
the highest on record.
But there is one good omen.
Strangely enough, it-or he-is a
man, the Prince of Wales. The prince,
she said. has turned thumbs down on
the mannish women. He does not
like girls to indulge in the fag. The
women of England. consequently, are
giving up the habit. So it will be in
America, eventually, Miss CASTOR de-
clares.

five miles an hour.
Blames Farmer For Crash.
THE reason for the accident was
simple enough" said Waidelich.
Some farmer drying a team hitched
I" farm wagon was going north on
Kansas avenue, and hugging the
street car track. He refused to either
move over toward the curbing or stop,
altho We blew the siren continually.
Lowman Hill street car was coming
south on Kansas avenue. We were
gong too fast to stop, and had our
choice of either driving into the rear
or the wagon, taking a head on col
hsion with the street car, or hitting
the post. The driver chose the post"

agricultural conference today by Her
bert Myrlck, editor of Farm and Home
of Springfield, Mass.
Mr.. Myrick also proposed reduction
of the United States budget for its
army and navy to the pre-war figure.
and the utilization OF the differences
which he said would be $500, 0O0, GOO
toward paying bonus for the former
service men. The Springfield editor
declared that more progress had been
made toward world peace in the last
two months than in the preceding
1000 years.
Parley Turns to Europe.
The national agricultural confer
ence turned to Europe. today for a
study of factors causing the general
American farm depression and for
possible means of relief.
G.. F. Warren of Ithaca, N. Y, just
! back from a trip of investigation in
Europe, told the delegates of the eff
, feet of the situation there on Ameri-
needs of accurate information for
{ American farmers as to European
production and demand.
For some years. the conditions in
Europe will be subject to erratic
changes both in supply and demand"
said Mr.. Warren. I'VE need to know
| all the currents of European move

! Mr. Warren asserted that because
deflation did not begin in Europe last
year, prices there were still much
above the pre-war level. and had
stimulated production to meet the de-
mand.

Wesley c. Mitchell. an economist of
New York told the delegates that IL
was reasonable to expect that the pur-
chasing power of gold would return
nearer to pre-war levels and that the
! commodity price tendency over long
period would tend downward
Il don't cherish the delusion that
we are helpless victims of inexorable

Santiago, Jan. 2S.-The proposed
conference in Washington betW cen
representatives of Peru and Chile will
become non-effective as far as Chile

negotiations is accepted by the United

This statement of Chile's position
was given by Foreign Minister Borros
Jarpa to the correspondent in discuss
ing the note sent to President Harding

Bolivia.
Senior Jarpa indicated that the ques-
ton of the LapeZ government inter

"Unquestionably, intercollegiate foot

that football games were the chief In
