Humble Plug of "Baccy'
 Entitled to War Medal

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 31.-A plug Of tobacco is the hero of this yarn and if things inanimate ever won the Distinguished Service Cross, this par ticular plug deserves the honor.
 On a French road in the battle zone during the World War, a young American Lieutenant, Frank H. lfc- Farland, assistant United States dis trict attorney, past commander Of the Kansas Department and now National Vice Commander of the Legion was asked for a "chew of baccy" by comrade. Stopping to fish the we'll gnawcd and elusive plug from a baggy pocket, McFar- land exchahged late stories with the tobacco borrower, while two compan ions with whom he had been on the way to machine gun nest, proceed cd down the street. They had ad- vanced only hundred yards when bomb, dropped from a German airplane, killed them both, along with three other Americans.
 The borrower of the fateful plug was Lieutenant Bobo. clown of the outfit, who is now baseball catcher in the Texas league. If the gov ernment wants to give that plug a medal and it should" said Bobo who tells the story, it'll have to be a posthumous award, cause when that bomb fell swallowed the whole darn plug"

GILPATRIC'S SENTENCE
 APPEARS JUST.

c. Harold Gilpatric, former state treasurer and cashier of the nation al bank at Putnam, will spend a comfortable term in Atlanta peni- tentiary. By confessing to the em- bezzlement of goodly portion of the funds he was charged with stealing, ne insured a quick trial. He him self wanted it over quickly. He ex- pected to go to prison and appar- ently is satisfied to expiate his crime according to the judgment of the court.
 Considering that his attempt at suicide resulted in blindness, much of the rigor of his punishment is lost. l. is more comfortable for a blind man to be taken care of at home among friends, perhaps; but the dictates Of humanity demand that blind man in prison must be well taken care of. Sentencing of blind man to prison appears to be very rare. On arriving in prison he will have 10 be subjected to dif- ferent treatment than the other pris- oners and probably will be unable to go through the same regimen.
 Gilpatric is already punished more severely than the law could have punished him for the embezzlement. He sought death when confronted with exposure, but fate intervened with what in the estimation of many Is even a worse fate. Assuming he will never regain his sight, as phy- | sicians say. 1t w.l make but a slight ]

ALL KINDS OF SPORTS
 ARE SCORED BY DOCTOR
London Specialists Says British Pub lie Golfs Too Much and Eats
 Too Much.

London, Oct. 31--The British pub lie golfs too much and eats too much according to Dr. Leonard Williams, a Harley street specialist and a cor responding member of the American Archaeological Society.
 As for golf, the game has a bad moral effect, according to the physi- clan. "A man loses his match" says Dr. Williams, land, as a result, is unhappy about it, is disgruntled. is bad tempered. His thoughts arc on the next game which he VOWS he will win. And too often he Is discoI- tented until he does win"
 The way the English take their food is almost as disturbing to Dr.. Williams as the way they take their golf. Tt is not realized by the pub lie that it takes as much energy to digest an English meal as it does to take a ivo-nile walk. People cat far too much. The day is started with a heavy breakfast; a full meat lunch follows: then there is tea, &C., companiei by clores and cakes and finally there in dinner. running to several courses. This is far more than can be properly digested.
 Tt would be saner and healthier to start with a Continental breakfast

FEDERAL AID ROADS IN CONNECTICUT.

Roads comprising the federal aid system of highways have been defn- i;ely designated in 4 states, accord ing to news from Washington. Ac- cording to the dispatch, which is based upon a report of the bureau of public roads of the L. S. depart ment Of agriculture, Connecticut is listed as being included in the sys- tenn to the extent Of SS5 miles.
 The entire system of federal aid highways totals 161406 miles. in cluding estimates for those states where the mileage has not yet been approved.
 Other New England states are list cd as follows: Massachusetts, 1,29o miles; Maine, 1393; Vermont, 1,o43: New Hamphire, 9SS; Rhode Island, 165.
 None of the New England states are listed with the leaders in federal aid roads, but it might be conceded that all of them are listed for larger mileage than has been suspected, as suming the figures are correct.
 The state with the biggest federal aid mileage is Texas, with 11.655 miles; South Dakota is next with SOFT; and then follow Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, etc. California, all ready one of the states credited with having a large mileage of perfect roads, is credited with 4,467 miles of federal aid highways. New York IS listed with 4,49S miles.
 Although Connecticuts S35 miles of federal aid roads, according to the report, looks little compared with some of the, western states, it's size, or lack of size, must be taken into consideration. On the basis of area, Connecticut's federal aid sys- tenn. based cp the governmental re- port, is quite as extensive as similar systems in most other states, and the same holds true Of Massachusetts.
 There has been much agitation against federal aid highways in New England, the charge being made and generally believed that such highways are exclusively constructed in far western states, largely with . tax money coming from the east. In the face of the report issued by the department of agriculture, this does not appear to be a fact if area is the New England states obtaining their full share of suqh highways based on area. Of course, whea mileage alone is Considered.

Wounded Vets Now Have
 Kitchen Forbes Forgot

Excelsior Springs, Missouri, Oct. 31.J--The famous "Kitchenless Hos pital" has been officially opened here recently for the treatment of United States Veterans Bureau patients, and now is prepared to care for and feed 125 veterans. During the Forbes administration of the Veterans Bu- resu, American Legion investigators discovered that the hospital had been erected complete in all respects except that no provision was made in the architects plans for Kitchen. Director Frank II. Hines of the Bu- reau has added complete kitchen facilities and the hospital, No. s9. is now one of the best equipped in the country.

then the western states receive the greater portion of this federal help.
 Such federal aid is given to states on the basis Of tho state paying half the costs of highway and the fed eral government paying the remain Ing half. All requests for such aid. of course, cannot be filled, as the ap- propriation of the government for the purpose has some limitations, and 1t is for this reason that the amount 10 be expended every year Is said 10 be allotted to the various states on basis of population and area, largely the latter,

It Can't Be Done


 The humorist was feeling very friendly with all the world. He had just sold a joke to the Fun Shop for five dollars and was making happily for a beanery to feed his famished stomach.
 Passing the show window of a hardware store he stopped to look at an enormous pair of sheet metal shears fully two feet long. Mani cure scissors?" he remarked to the clerk.
 The clerk looked at the humorist in astonishment. Mercy no!" he re- piled. Those are shears used by sheet metal workers. Manicure scis- sors are little tiny things!"
 The humorist hurried on. He ar rived at the beanery and seated himself. The place was called "The Presidents Cafe" The humorist eyed his glass containing the ice wa ter. Someone had eaten eggs re- gently. and the dishwasher was not thorough.
 The next time the president come in," remarked the humorist to the blonde waitress. T wish you would ask him to tell the dishwash- CT to put in more time, on the glasses"
 Why" said the female bean singer, "he never eats here-he's in Washington.
 That afternoon they found the humorist's body in the river. On his stilledand silent features was a look of great and indescribable sadness. But they never knew why! They never knew why.

SUCH ANTICS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED.

Theoretically, it Is no business of | President Coolidge as to who pays
 the expenses of hlstinguihed guests
 to the White House. When Secre-
 tary Slcmp announces that a dclcga-
 ton of so-and-sos are waiting in an
 ante-room for the privilege of see
 ing" the president the head of the
 house, by following the dictates of
 courtesy cannot at first inquire as to
 how they arrived in town. how much
 the trip cost and who paid the bill
 He must needs take 1t for granted
 that they paid their own way. thus
 crediting them with sincerity and a
 willingness to pay out their money
 to reach the terminus of their trip.
 But 1t is doubtful whether Secre-
 tary Slemp always remains in ignor- ance of how delegations of notables and near-notables arrive in town for the visit to the White House mecca. Maybe the astute slemp confdes with his chief and maybe he doesn't; we are willing to assume he doesn't, but will admit that others with a
 more cynical turn of mind can &C., cept a different assumption.
 A trip of theatrical stars made the trip to the White House from New York a week or so ago; it was a gay party, and the main object of the visit, it is said, was to make the president laugh. Al Jolson. after re- peated attempts, succeeded in doing so, and after the official veneer was brushed off the gathering. good time was had by all. The party was well written up by the bevy of dap per reporters who skirted around the proceedings, and the public read of the party with general satisfa ctlon- except perhaps the Democrats and the Progressives.
 But it is learned through evidence presented to the Borah committee that non-partisan committee of Republican citizens paid the entire ! expense of the jambouree, and that the actors and actorines didn't need to be so sincere about the trip as to . spend any Of their own hard earned lucre. Which takes some Of the var nish off the business and places 1t in rather a disagreeable light. Almost anybody who has the time and would like to enjoy trip 10 the White House would willingly make the trip if some "non- partisan" committee paid the expenses thereof. When all is said and done, some of these stage celebrities may yet vote for Davis or LaFollctte. We at least, that Al Jolson won't vote for anybody whom he cant make laugh at the first pun he utters.
 Tho nf e;t came 10 light after the trip of a delegation of labor men to the White House about month ago. Secre- tary Slemp was said to have been in on the ground floor in making the arrangements. The party formed a nice newspaper story after Labor Day. but the story was shorn Of some of its pretty aspects when the 'acts as to who paid the expenses became known. Ii
 Our opinion is that no president f the United States should lend him. self to this species of cheap self ldvcrtisement and we trust that President Coolidge was unaware of he arrangements" at the time. We much prefer to blame Slemp and ] other politicians for such ridiculous Intics.

weightier matter, The minor matter
 was the so-ealled Campbell sedition
 case, This was the withdrawal of
 the prosecution against Campbell,
 who was responsible for an article in
 the Communists Weekly melting
 soldiers and sailors to mutiny, This
 matter was merely match which
 started the greater poltcal contla-
 grafton incident to the Russian loan.
 IL is difficult to understand the in- trosHies of the British election without careful scrutiny of a mass of
 details that would require consider
 able space. One additional point,
 however, Is worthy of consideration.
 Macdonald is credited with having
 desired to rc-cstablish the two-p party system, desiring the country 10 be di- Nided into two forces Labor and anti-Labor. or as some term if, So- calist and anti-Socialist. He,has de- sired the total extinction of the Lib- eral party 10 this end. In this re- spcct he has made considerable prog ress. as the Liberal party as result of the election retains but handful of seats in parliament.
 MacDonald's thesis is that so long as the three-party system continued he believed that the Labor party could not attain a clear majority in Commons. His idea was to bring the radical wing of the Liberals within the Labor party, and from the appearance of the returns he has nearly succeeded, although the Con- servaties have a comfortable major | ity of seats over the Laborites and Liberals combined. He Is quoted as saying that the Conserva- tive forces might be able to dominate a few years more but not any long ! CT. He seems to be working for the 1 future as well as the present. | Whether he is right or wrong in his of course, remains to be seen.
 This is regarded as the secret of the Macdonald strategy He was put into office with the help of the Lib- , erals but when in office treated the | Liberals with contempt and did not desire their help. It has been their destruction he wanted and he has | been willing to suffer defeat to fur ther these tactics. Baldwin and Churchill, who joined the Conservatives, agree as to this out come of the struggle; other Liberals who would have preferred to- CO., operate with the Labor party, be- ieve it. The result has been a coa- easement of Liberals and Conserva- ives which far outntmber the La oorites at the present time. S
 The election was fought upon the Inquiry of the guaranteed loan to Russia, the influence exerted upon he Labor government by pro-Com- munfsts and the. failure of the La DOT party to relieve unemployment md to solve the housing problem.
 The Liberal Conservative coali- ion does not make many promises. They have sought and obtained pop liar support upon the assumption hey will govern better in the face of III exigencies as they arise than the -abor government has done in its ear of power or would be likely to 10 in the future.
