"HERE is no more fascinating
field of study than that of
prehistoric times and the
life Of men during their earliest
groupings toward civilization. There
Is so much room for quite legitimate
speculation, for augmentation and
deductions and inferences from the
comparatively few facts OF which
wo are absolutely sure. 1t was a
natural consequence that the pure
romanccrs. the makers OF the fiction
or adventure, should have fallen
ayidly upon this field. and some of
them have produced not merely
readable stories but stories of some
value as guesses a. what men and
women were up to in the Stone Ages.
But for the most part the writer's of
fiction have overdone it, reaching
misleading, sometimes absurd. re-
suits. 1t is better to approach it
more soberly in treating it for pop
Mar consumption. That is the point
at which such book as this comes

their facts. nor are they guilty of
the common error of making their
prehistoric folk far too sophisi-
Gated. The book is aimed at the
youthful reader, or the non-technical
student, and is admirably fluent,
simple in it's Technology. but al
ways soundly founded upon good au-

able in it's preliminary explanations.

teaching they will be Obliged to con
tinue their studies at one o. me NOT

conservative estimate will place hall
of the graduates in some university
college or normal school before next
September. This Is Il record of
which Abilene should he justly
proud. In all probability few schools
in the state. outside Of the towns
where the state schools are located,
can show an equal record. Furher-
more the Abilene graduates invar-

FINE FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
Heavy Team And Lots of Pep For
A. H. s. This Year


The football prospects at A. II. S.
are looking better every day. Coach
McGahan is daily becoming more
popular with the members of the
squad, and every one is working
harder than at any time previously.
The prospects for real team never
were brighter. The candidates for
the line will average ITO pounds
from end to end, while the backs
will probably average 100. This is
heavy for high school team.
Leonard Rees, veteran line man,
is displaying all his old time pep and
fight. The coach is using him at
guard, and the way Rees gets around
the field will cause much grief for
the opponents of the A. III. s. team
this year. Another man who is MAX
ing a bid for place in the line is
John Kapp. John Is known at the
high school as one of the most relia-
BILE fellows in school, and every one
will be pulling for John to land a
regular berth at tackle this year.
Two well known boys are trying
out for the end positions. They are
Ralph Curry and Paul Griswold.
Both of these fellows handle the ball
with great skill and are working
hard and faithfully for the team.
Coach McGahan is insisting upon
regularly at practice, and upon care
full training on the part Of the boys.
In past years some Of the members
of the A. Fl. s. teams have shown
the effects of a lack of training. This
will not occur this year.

BAN ON POSTDATED CHECKS
Intent to Defraud Is Not an Element
of the Offense

The bad check artists are in for
a hard time. A recent decision Of
the supreme court sets up some rul-
ings that are a source Of comfort to
county attorneys and others who are
seeking to stop the bad check nui-
sance. These officers now say that
all that is needed is the cooperation
OF the business men who take in the
bad checks. This cooperation fire.
uently is lacking because the bust
ness man doesn't wish to make an
enemy of the bad check writer, his
relatives or friends.
The supreme court decision sets
forth that intent to defraul or ac-
cOmplishment of fraud are not ele-
ments of the offense, and are not es-
sential to the validity Of the bad
check act In other words, the pro-
secution doesn't have to show intent
to defraud in order to secure a con-
vietiOn.
This decision also sets forth that
sending a man to prison for writing
a bad check does not constitute i'm
prisOnment for debt, which is uncon-
stitutional.
The fact that a man when he
writes check, tells the payee that
he has no funds in the bank does
not excuse him.
The act also applies to postdated
checks-they are just as illegal as
the other Mounds checks.

attracted much attention. Their train
was late into Topeka and therefore
there was no one to meet them SO
they went direct to the Y. NJ. G. A.

lunch at the fair grounds, guests Of
the fair management, returned to
the Y. M. G. A. to put on their uni

o'clock. They were fourth in order
on the program in the contest:
Topeka Noticed Them
In the morning they serenaded the
Topeka State Journal and in the
afternoon the Topeka Capital office.
The Topeka State Journal carried the
following story regarding the sere-
nade:.
1.-The State Journal this morning
was serenaded by the members Of
three bands who have come to Tope-
ka to participate in the juvenile band
contest at the Kansas Free Fair this
afternoon.
1.-The first musical aggregation to
appear Onder the State Journars
window was the Harrington Boys
band Of thirty seven pieces, direct
ed by F. K. Reasener. And by the
way, they are not all boys. Several
girls could be noticed in lineup, but
they could play. The uniforms con-
sisted of red coats and blue trousers.

GET-TOGETHER MEETING

November 10
A meeting Of podtOm.cc employees
Of Kansas, in Topeka, November 10,
has been called by Postmaster Gen
eral Hubert Work. The meeting
will be a get-together session "for
the good of the service" at which
mutual problems will be discussed.
Although there are number of pos
tai employees associations which hold
meetings at stated intervals, this Is
said to be a new move on part Of the
federal department to make such
meetings departmental as well as
empl0ye affairs, without regard to
membership, in any organization.
Some high official of the department
probably will be there to talk to the
employees and hear suggestions they
have to make with view to i'm
provement in the service.
