in contrast with the Easter blizzards

crowded the drives in and about the
city thruout the afternoon, and the

yielded to the call of the spring to get
outdoors. Every hiking ground in
walking distance of Topeka was the
scene of strolling couples and parties
during the afternoon.
And in the evening. Topeka went to

evening services there were special

Hey, Skinny. C'mon over, quicck.
Right in the front window of The
State journal building is being dis
played a complete radio receiving set
constructed under the plans and out
lines published recently by this paper.
The set consists of a detector, con-
denser and tuning coil and except for
a phone is ready and rearin' to sputter
with the sparks. Furthermore, all of
the connections are made so that any
boy at a glance may see how the parts
of the set are put together.
The State Journals sample was
made by E ]. Campbell, 41O Topeka
boulevard, local wire chief for the
Rock Island railway, who followed the
series of articles written for this paper
by William G. H. Finch, of New York,
so closely that he has found it easy
to make number of the outfits.
And the best part about it is that
the set on display, just as it stands,
cost the measly sum of $2.25. Add to
this $1-25 for a phone, a few cents
for the wooden blocks if it be neces-
sary to buy them, and probably so
cents for q wire for an aerial and any
lad will find how easy it is to obtain
one.
This brings the total cost to ap-
proximately 81, and in any event Mr..
Campbell says that So should be suf-
ficient to cover all material necessary
even at higher prices than he had to
pay admitting that the prices are in
clined to vary in difference places.
According to Mr.. Cabpbell much
of the cost in making the sets is in the
labor and for that reason he cannot
fill orders for less than $3.50 and he
has sold a number of The Topeka State
Journals models at that price. Black
walnut is used in the sample set but
Mr.. Campbell says that most any kind
of blocks will do. He has even made
a number of sets out of cigar boxes
With the set that is now on exhibit
ton at The State Journal office, MIR.
Campbell says he has been able to
catch signals from a distance of 800 to
400 miles and has caught radio phone
messages from Kansas City. To pick
up the latter within radius of thirty
miles would be remarkable, Mr.. Camp
bell, but in this case the distance was
more than doubled

800 Added to Church Rolls.
Easter was observed in the majority
of the church of the city as day for
receiving into the church bodies, can
didates for membership, and some 800
names were added to the rolls of the
various organizations during the serv-
ices. 1t was also a special day for
baptisms, and scores of infants and
older persons were baptized at the
various churches.

MINERS AT WORK A ROTARY PARADE
One Hundred Small Mines in
Kansas in Operation.
No Large Strip or Pit Mines
Are Now Open.

Nearly 100 "dinky'' and wagon
mines in Cherokee and Crawford
counties are producing coal, according
to a statement today by Governo or
Allen. The governor made his state
ment following a conference with
Judge John H. Crawford of the indus
trial court.
Many union men are working in the
small wagon mines in the southeastern
Kansas field according to information n
received by state officials. The dinky
mines are managed on the cooperative
plan and produce a considerable ton
mage in the aggregate. None of the
big strip or pit mines in the field are
open.
Sixty Mines in Operation.
According to the statement by Gov
ernor Allen there are sixty small mines
being operated in Crawford county
In Cherokee county about forty mines
are producing coal, The total number
of wagon and gdfnky mines open in the
state is given by state figures at 12S.
Governor Allen today refused to dis
cuss the coal situation further than to
state that a considerable amount of
coal is now being mined in the state.
He said output at some of the mines
ranged from one to six cars a day.
Several hundred men are now engaged
in operation of the mines. Some of
them are former members of the
Howat organizations Others are mem
bers of the international mine work
ers union now on strike. The men
can work in the cooperative mines, it
is stated, without violating the union
strike order.
The governor has cancelled his
speaking engagement in New. Orleans.
Appointments in Topeka this week
caused the action.
Governor Allen said he did not ex-
pect to make a. statement for several
weeks regarding the governorship
campaign. He declined to state
whether he was still considering a
third term.

Want TAX RELIEF
Representative of 80 Hospitals
Present Their Case.
Are Subject to Direct State and
Local Taxes.

Representative of thirty mine pri-
vate hospitals, are in Topeka today
seeking relief from tax burdens which
may be levied by the state tax COM
mission. Protests came from the hos
pitaI arrangements following action
of the last legislature in providing
against state aid to the institutions.
This course automatically made the
hospitals subject to direct state and
local taxes and an expense of many
thousands of dollars.
For a number of years the thirty
nine hospitals have received state aid
amounting to $500 to $500 a year in
aid the hospital property was exempt
ed from direct taxes. In cases of Il
number of hospital plants this tax will
amount to $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Now their property is to he placed on
the tax rolls unless relief is pro-
vided-
Troubles to State Board.
Governor Allen was today in con-
ference with members of the state tax
commission regarding the situation.
This afternoon representatives of the
hospitals told their troubles to mem
bers of the state board of administra-
ton. Members of this board clearly
indicated that they felt the effect of
the legislative action wasAgreater than
intended by the lawmakers. Yet in
must receive state aid. The legislative
appropriation for private hospitals
was given to the board of administra-
tion for distribution, but clearly stated
that no funds should go to hospital
operating for profit.
1t was apparent this afternoon that
the governor and members of the
board of administration would try to
provide some remedy. One suggestion
was to the effect that the board make
a nominal appropriation to each in
stitution-possibly a sum as low as
dollar in each case-which would au-
tomatically relieve the hospitals from
tax responsibilities.
Effect of the appropriation provi-
sion dearly goes much further than
the legislature intended" said L. J.
Penney of the board of administration.
THE legislature intended to cut off
direct appropriations. Many of these
hospitals, tho. do a large amount of
charity work. They are entitled to
consid Grafton and if the tax penalty is
enforced, it will close many worthy
institutions.
Bishop Wise told me today" con-
tinued Penney. that enforcement of
the tax provision would force them to
close Christ's hospital in Topeka. He
said the hospital is already losing
money as are many similar institu
tions''
Three big Topeka hospitals are af-
fected by the tax ruling. They include
Christ's, st. Francis and Stormont hos
