Wine and women were too strongly
intrenched in the mind of Leonard
Carruthers, who recently sued her for
divorce, to allow of their home life
being happy, was the charge made by
Mrs. Nancy Carruthers in an answer
and cross petition filed today in the
district court.
Carruthers charged his wife with
abandonment and failure to perform
her household duties. In her answer
she asserts that Carruthers one time
took one of her girl friends motoring
and then Dragged about it to his wife.
He has also made statements in her
presence, she asserts, concerning "the
various physical attributes and
womanly charms of passing girls and
commented upon how he would like
to take them out some evening for =
good time And all the time she as
serts he was aware he was hurting her
feelings and apparently enjoyed see
ing her in tears of grief and morti-
fication.
Mrs. Carruthers SAYS she gave UP
her job with the Wolff Packing COM
pany to enter upon her domestic
duties when they were married May
81, 1922, and that she did all the
household duties in order to tighten
the work of her mother-in-law, with
whom they lived. But Carruthers
drank at frequent intervals and re-
manned out nights. she says, refusing
to tell her where he had been.
Mrs. Carruthers asks that the di-
vorce be given to herself and that she
be restored to her maiden name,

WANT TO CLOSE NINTH STREET
Kansas Hotel Company Presents Re-
quest to City Commission.


Permission to close Ninth street
during part of the construction OF
the Hotel kansan was asked of the
city commission by the Kansas Hotel
company, this morning.
It was explained that the amount
of material at this site will take up
considerable room and it is felt that
the closing Of this street during the
heavy part of the work would speed
up the work to a large extent
The letter stated further that. the
consent of the HARLAN Furniture COM

that of the directors of the Central

The Kaw Paving company's bid OF
$1.60 square yard for the paving of

A committee consisting of Earl
Akers, Guy Gascoigne, DR.. C. E. Brown
and ]. NJ. Averill waited upon the city
commission this morning asking for
more adequate fire protection in the
College Hill district.
1t was pointed out that half the
value of Topeka is in the part of town
in which No. 5 fire station is located,
and the present station is not large
enough and is not efficient enough to
take care of that section of the city
| in case of fire. The committee asked
for more efficient equipment and a

MORE PLAYGROUND SITES
school Board Has Plan To Purchase
More Property.

AOR~AsJs
Plans for purchasing several new
playground sites in Topeka were dis
cussed Monday night at a meeting of
the board of education. No definite
action will he taken on these pur-
chases, tho, until the legal department
of the board is given an opportunity
to condemn certain sites that are now
being held for what is said to be ex-
orbitant prices.
The board authorized the estab-
lishment of Americanization schools
10 be opened as soon as sufficient en-
rollments are received. These schools
will teach foreigners to read and write
and will give them the principle of
American citizenship.
Arrangements for additional radia-
tors to be installed in the girls gym
nasium at Topeka high school and for
new locks on the desks in the high
school mechanical drawing depart
,lnent were made. The board is con-
sidering the installation of domestic
science department at Branner school.
If this department is installed it will
be no longer necessary for the Bran
ner school girls to walk to Lincoln
school for their domestic science les
sons A request was received from
the Parent-Teachers' club of Wash
ington school for rest room to be
furnished in the school building. The
club offered to pay one-half of the
expenses.
Requests for cancellation of tuition
fees at the high school were rejected
by the board. A previous ruling makes
it necessary for either the pupil or
the parents to be residents of the city
before the tuition fees will be can
celled.
Dates of the remaining vacations of
the present semester decided on are:
October 10 and 20, Kansas state
teachers convention; November 80
and December l, Thanksgiving holi-
days, and December 81 to January 2,
Christmas holidays. January 26 will
close the present semester.
