J. S. Cummings, one of the stale representatives from Bourbon county, saw a statehouse and legislative; hall for the first time at Topeka today. He is past 60 and was put on the ticket last summer against his will. Then he was elected.

It happened that he never had visited a state capital before he went to Topeka today. Uncle John Deton, senator from Elk and Chautauqua, is probably the happiest man at the inaugural today, says a Topeka dispatch. Four years ago Uncle John was elected, by eight hundred majority, but at the last November election this eight hundred dwindled to -'fit I was a tight race," said Uncle John tonight, "and. I won by showing discretion rather than valor. Out our way the standpat and Bull Moose sentiment was bitter.

We may have air brakes on our car. And perhaps when our Ocean to Ocean highway is finished we shall have to cool ten-mile-long grades of the Great Divide.

And the cost of all this luxury ranges from $1.25 to $25 and this in spite of the high cost or living.

CHILDREN OF DRINKERS Investigation in England Gives Surprising Results Prof. Carl Pearson has presented some surprising facts as a result of an investigation of the families of drinkers and of teetotalers recently made in the Galton Laboratory for Eugenics at the University. of London.

The old maxim of intimate household hygiene, "Drinking stunts one's children," was shown to be devoid of foundation as far as the material of this investigation was concerned, says 'a writer in the American Magazine. He tabulates the results of the investigation as follows: "First, putting all ages together, they found that the average height of the children whose parents drank was 47.9 inches, and of non-drinking parents of 47.5 inches. The average weifiht of the former was 55 pounds and the latter 5u.8 pounds. "But the children whose parents drank averaged 9.8 years old, while the children of the sober parents averaged 9.4 years. Making allowance for this correction by strict mathematical means the conclusion was that the drinking of parents had no appreciable effect upon the.

height or weight of their children. as to the child's general health. Here the children were divided into four categories: the healthy, the delicate, the epileptic and phthisical' and those who died young. "Surveying this table it is really hard to say where the connection lies between parental drinking and good health or bad health on the part of the children. Clearly there is no significant association.

"Third, concerning intelligence. Of all things that we have been accustomed to assume as likely, one of the foremost is that parental drinking weakens Children's wits. "But it was distinctly untrue of these English school children, so very untrue, in fact that there is a slight balance the other way. -The returns show that there were born to drinking fathers 34 per cent of defective sons and 30 per cent of defective to drinking mothers 40 per cent of defective sons and 24 per cent of defective daughters. While there were born to sober fathers 41 per cent of defective sons and 31 per cent of defective daughters; to sober mothers 39 per cent of defective sons and 30 per cent of defective daughters.

"Fourth, regarding eyesight. The children were examined for normal vision, short and far sight and three varieties of astigmatism. Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters were all considered separately. I omit the tables to save space; but their summary. shows two remarkable facts: "(1) The larger proportion of normal eyes is found among the children of drinking parents.

"(2) The larger proportion of hy-permctropia, myopia, mixed and myopic astimgatism is found among the children of sober parents. "An analysis of the tables- themselves reveals no correlation between parental drinking and bad eyesight in the child. If anything, it is the other way; the children of drinking parents have the better eyesigh' The World Almanac. The World Almanac for 1913 is the quarter's worth of information you ever "saw.

BOYCOTT TO GAIN A DEPOT Claflin. Citizens Use Trade as a Club on Missouri Pacific From The Kansas City Star. Oreat Bend, Kas.

Claflin, in the northeast corner of Barton county, has established a recent boycott on the Missouri Pacific which has at tracted the attention of the officials of the road and which the Claflin people hope will bear fruit. For five years the town has been promised a new depot by the road, and each year some excuse has been advanced for its not being built. This year the merchants started a boycott in freight by ordering everything brought in or sent out routed for the smallest possible' distance over the Gould lines. The town has a population of less than seven hundred, but its yearly shipment of -wheat alone is more than one thousand cars. The action of the townspeople brought two or three officials of the road there to investigate, and they explained that the only matter delaying the erection of a new depot was that of a site.

The townspeople believe this could be arranged easily if desired, and shipments to and from Claflin are still routed away from the Gould lines as much as possible. The small towns of this section generally, are interested in this fight between' the town and the railroad. With an Interstate Commerce Commission to protect their interests the people do not fear attempts on the part of the railroad to delay or fal to furnish cars.
