new ROAD SYSTEM
Plans Made to Improve 6,575
Miles in Kansas.
Eleven Principal Highways In
cIuded in Present Programs

A complete system of state high
ways, comprising about 6,575 miles to
be improved ultimately under the new
federal aid act, has been tentatively
approved by the state highway COM
mission. It is estimated by NJ. w.
Watson, state highway engineer. that
within five miles on either side of
these roads is IS per cent of the states
entire valuation, 81 per cent of the
population and n per cent of, the
area.
Under the new federal road act,
each state is required to designate Z
per cent of it's entire mileage to re-
ceive aid. Since the total highway
mileage in Kansas is 124, 144, the state
is entitled to $3.50 miles in its i'm
proved road system. The highway
commission decided it would not be
necessary at this time to designate

BASKETBALL PLAYERS FAVORED
EmpOria Athletes Can Have Baths by
Order of "City Dads.''

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 9.-Another
virtue has been found in college ath-
letics. If man plays basketball at
the College of Emporia he may use
the shower baths. Otherwise they are
closed to him, according to the order
of the city commissioners.
The order is due to the water short
age in Emporia. When the city au-

resources were about to give out, they
placarded the college gymnasium with
notices that, until further orders, no
one but basketball men would be al

CAPITOL NEWS LETTER

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2s.--Al-
though the concensus of opinion
among the friends of Senator James
A. Reed in Washington is that he ex-
poets to be a candidate for re-elec-
ton, and that undoubtedly he intends
to submit his candidacy to the Demo-
Gratis of Missouri, the Senator himself
has made no announcement of such
intention.
Queries on this subject directed to
him by newspaper men of the Capital
have been parried with the character
istic Reed smile and the statement
that since the primaries are not to be
held until midsummer, there remains
ample time in which to make whatev-
er announcements the situation may
warrant or require. There is a faint
suspicion that Senator Reeds an
nouncement will not come from Wash
ington at all but that he will wait I'M
til an opportunity presents itself to
visit Missouri and issue his statement
there.
Irrespective of party affiliations,
Senator Reed has many admirers in
Washington, and the bare announce
ment that he is to make speech will
fill the Senate galleries, tribute paid
to no other member unless it is Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho. AS a master of
debate his interest is always courted
by contending factions in the Senate,
and although he may not win every
cause he champions he never fails to
leave his impress on its passage or
defeat. There have been few Sena-
tors in the last few decades who have
held quite the place in that body
which is enjoyed by Senator Reed and
for this reason the progress made and
the result in the Missouri primaries
this summer will be followed by cor
respondents and others in Washing
ton with the keenest interest. q
Governor Arthur M. Hyde, of Mis-
souri,, and DR.. E., B. Clements, chair

Putting Pep in
the Pictures
By r. RAY BAKER.

Allen Wexford realized that three
persons were booked to lose their jobs
In short time unless somebody put
pep into Peiton productions.
The three persons were Constance
Morton, Alfred Eldridge and Allen
Wexford. And the person whose duty
it was to furnish the missing ingre-

man.
Something had gone wrong and old
Jarvis Pelton knew it. He watched
the pictures with microscope, figura-
lively speaking, ever ready to pick
flaws, and he found flaws aplenty Of

There was no use talking. Pelton's
famous "heart plays" were not the

they used to. I'll give them little
longer to make good, and then
That meant only one thing. The
big three would be looking for new
employment, and jobs were scarce in
studios even for stars.
Time was when the movie audiences
used to cry; they were so wrapped UP
In the wonderful love-making of Con-
stance and Alfred. Now, according
to old Jarvis. people were known to
laugh when the couple got into action.
And 1t was Aliens fault, of course.
He was the director, and when any
thing was not convincing he was to
blame. He was one of the best direc-
tors in the business, but he was fall
ing down miserably on the job. He
had made Constance and Alfred, and
now he was uamaking them.
At first he, couldn't understand, 1t.
