DITTMAN THEA*KE
Before leaving to develop the prop
erty owned by his father on an un-
chartered island Thomas Fielding is
secretly married to the daughter of
his neighbor. Secrecy is necessary
owing to the enmity that exists be-
tween the parents of this youthful
couple. Years later young Fielding
now resident in New York where he
is at the head of the rkh concern con-
trolling the coral deposits of Crimson
Shoals hears of the death of his wife
and is quite visibly shocked. His
grief however is soon forgotten in
the pressing duties as head of the
coral company. Despite efforts on
the part of all the officials of the
company much of the valuable coral
is mysteriously disappearing am*
Fielding desires to fire his foreman.
Jack Quinn. The foreman is popular
with both the workers and the stock-
holders and he determines to stiox
to the job. challenges Fielding to put
him out. The head of the firm there-
fore decides to adopt drastic measures
and along with a party of assistant:
>ets out for Crimson Shoals. There
Quinn puts Fielding under arrest and
many complications arise from h;s
endeavor to keep the prisoners under
surveillance. Meantime the man re-
sponsible for tho continued theft re-
doubles his efforts and plans to make
a haul of great magnitude by means
of a submarine. The thief is retain-
ed as an auditor of the company and
is not susneeted by Fielding. He is
exposed by Quinn who from an aero-
plane sinks the entire crew of rascals
in their submarine hint. It then trans-
pires that Quinn is Fielding’s own
son. The mother had died shortly aft-
ir his birth refusing any information
as to who the child’s father was. Thus
comes to a happy end the entire ro-
mance including the love affair be-
tween Quinn and Helen a pretty girl
who is in the party of Fielding.

ONLY ONE CANDIDATE
FOR SUPERINTENDENT
J. M. Carlisle Withdraws
Leaving it to Miss Blanton j
J. M. Carlisle of t'orpu- Christ i.;
who was a candidate for the nomina-*
tinn for state superintendent of pub
li«' instruction ha- withdrawn accord-1
ing to the following letter from Mr.
Carlisle to Secretary A. S. .Moody of
the state democratic executive com-
mittee. under date of June 21:
“This is a brief reply to your ap-
preciated letter of the 1 Hth.
“1 thank you for your notice that
the state democratic committee at its
recent meeting authorized the plac j
ing rf my name on the state demo-*
trutic ballot as a candidate for the
state superintendent of public in-
struction.
“After due reflection 1 have decid-
ed to ask you to notify the state dem-
ocratic executive committee that I do!
not desire that my name be placed!
on said state ballot.
“It is a custom which has become
a rule with the democratic party to
honor a person once elected to office!
with a second term when the service
randered has been reasonably ef-:
ficient. As a democrat and in com !
pliai.ee with this custom I respect-;
fully withdraw my name front the
ballot in honor of Miss Blanton now]
a can lidate for second term.
“I have for years believed in equal
suffrage. If 1 should make this race1
when the present incumbent is a wo-
man there would be reason to eoii-j
elude that my candidacy is bused on
the fact that the present incumbent
is a woman and therefore force the
women of the state into a defense of
her race for the second term. 1 have
no desire to become a party to such
contest.
RED CROSS TO RESUME
MAKING OF CLOTHING
Women members of Red Cross1
chapters threuyhout Missouri. Kansas
J'o\ii<. Arkansas and Oklahoma have
be« .1 asked to re-unie production oi
clothinir to -upply needy cbildren it
the war devastated art t- of Kurope.
an ordiny to jin announcement receiv-
ed to lay from Southwestern divisional
headquarters of thi» Red Cross at St.
Louis.
Puri hr the war one of the principal
contributions of the women of Amer- ;
iea was the sendliiR to our men over
■'Ca- and in this country an enormou- i
quantity of yarments sweaters robes j
seeks helmets and a meat array of
lesser articles that served to make thi
lot of douRhhoys in the hospitals or
the march and at the front more i
comfortable.
Tlu* resumption of clothing making.
\vh (h has been discontinued since the
dose of the war will be undertaken
by all Red Cross chapters throughout
the I'nited States. Junior Red Cros-
memIters will also tike part and ar-
rangements are being perfected by
which a laigc proportion of the goods
will b. made in the city school sewing
classes in the coming fall and winter
terms.
Reading pattern concerns have pre-
pared special designs of garments and
a complete set of instructions for theii
u e in the schools is ready. Retween
now and the time the schools reopen
most of the production of clothing will
he done by chapter workers who will
also handle details of packing ami
shipping.
Reports reaching the Red Cross
from abroad show that the need for
children’s clothing (especially in cen-
tral and southeastern Europe) is not
exaggerated. Rabies horn in hos-
pitals in Budapest according to a re-
cent cable are being wrapped in old
newspapers from lack of any gar-
ments whatever. In view of this need
the making of baby clothes will h<
specialized on throughout the division.
I nder the new plan of production
the articles of clothing will be shipped
direct from the chapter- to New York.
The work will be financed by the chap-
t»rs and all expenses borne by them
I* is not I’hccssary. the instructions
tate to pri vide workrooms. The gar-
ments are of simple design and can
be made by women meeting in neigh
berhood sewing circles churches
clubs ■ or in their own homes. The
receiving and inspection of the gar-
ments however will he done under
•he supervision of a Red Cross work
r who has been familiar with require-
•i cuts of making and inspecting
refugee clothing during the war. If
will not. however he necessary to ad-
here strictly to war time standards
and serviceable materials and simple
•4 vies of almost any kinds will be ac
cepted. (did clothes may he made in
to acceptable garments.
"It is not the intention of the
Southwestern division to urge produc-
tion on the scale on which it was con-
ducted during the war nor at the ex-
pense of work at home already under
way” said Miss Katherine Burlingame
director of auxiliary service who will
be in charge of production.
"Every effort is being made by thf
Red Cross abroad to prevent coddling
an I making dependent the recipient
of its assistance. Most of the work-
ers engage ! in foreign rel-ef are doc-
tors and ru; sos and the assistance
given is along the line of medical ser-
vice to the children and the aged.
About $00000000 will be expended
this year in services by the Red Cros-
overseas.”
"1 have received much encourage-
ment to continue in the race and I
have hand many letters and telegrams
of endorsement. 1 am thankful for
all the encouragement that has been
extended me but in justice to the
present incumbent and out of regard
for my own feelings I see no war
open to me at this time but to with-
draw from tlrs race.”

Statements as to Expenditur-

The following statement was given
uul by the pr. s today hy Mr. K. M.
Hubbard cnairmun of ’.lie ;tate high-
way commission:
Mr. Dailey one ^ f Hit candidate*
fi.r the highest office v.ithin the gift

fect that the offi< c expenditures of
the state highway department amount-
ed to var: u- surr.r tanging from 7.'*
per cent to f>0 per cent < f the money I
received by this department. These
statements are so in\v: rra.ited such
gross misrepre entations of the tru ■
facts and show in the j art of Mi.|

of the records of the various state
departments or or. medit-.ted .inten
tiun of ridirg irto office by attempt-
’ne»t<> wreck ail the good work that
has been done in the interest of the
cause of good roads in this state and
cause irreparable injury to one of
the most important departments of
the state government or just a de
liberate misrepre?entat:on of facts
that I feel I would be derelect in my
duty as chairman of the state high
way commission and that I owe it
to the public in general more espec-
ially to the friends of good road<
lover the state and the personnel of
the highway department to publicly
correct such statements and let th*
| people know the true facts which are
IS follows.
'1 he ent»ri* office and field expendi
Mires of tin* highway department for
the year 1919 amounted to approxi-
mately 10.3 per ient of the portion
<*f the automobile license fee ap
propr'ated for the use of the depart
ment. Only one-half of the total [
license fee paid come to the depart
ment. the balance being retained by;
the counties to he used in maintain !
ng their reads; therefore on the total
amount paid the percentage would
•inly he 5.15 per cent. Stating the
*ame thing in another way the net]
receipts of the highway department
from the automobile license fee fori
1919 amounted to $1345797.19. The
total office and field expense of the1
department for that year amounted
M» $141194.01. This paid all salaries
and expenses of every character o)
the entire department including all
itfice and field employes and the
••ust of engineering supervision of all
federal aid construction as well a
all state aid construction also all of-
fice supplies and other incidental ex-
• lenses. In addition to the Amount
| received by the department from tin
automobile fees there was available
out of federal appropriations the
amount of $3.80.3.20607. If the to
tnl of both state and federal fund
are considered the percentage of the
operating cost of the department e
only 2.7 per cent. These figures d*>
not include the cost of number plate'-
license seals and supplies bought b>
the department and furnished to the
tax collectors as required by the law.
This additional amount which of
course is not chargeable to our of
fice expense is approximately three
ner cent of the receipts from auto
mobile license fees.
This department has paid to the
counties to date on work that has
been completed or now under con-
struction a total amount of $2258-
510.37. Of this amount $1242056.92
was federal aid and is refunded by
the federal department the balance
$1014453.45 is state aid and was
i>aid out cf the -tate's portion of the
automobile license fei s. We are now
paying on work under contract and
upon estimates submitted by the coun-
ties each month approximately $350.
000.00.
These figures are p.U matters of*
record and can he easily verified b\
•my one who desires to do so. The
stati n ents referred to above wore
I firs* made by Mr Itailey in hi- Neff
Park speech. Immediately upon read
mg the press reports of this speech
I wired Mr. Hailey calling his atten I
tion to fhv fai t that a grave error j
had been committed by him and a
great injustice done the department.
In this wire l furnished him with the
•ibovo information relative to the cost
of operating the department and of
fered him my assistant e in aiding in J
retting at the true facts and correct-
ing the erroneous statement. This
offer was made under date of July
7tn. On July Syth a telegram wa'
received from Mr. Bailey substantial
'y .stating that he was unwilling to
idmit the incorrectness of his state
nent on my statement of percentage-
‘hat had been wired him and asking
o be furnished with the total aranun* i
-upplied for the use of the depart
nent ar.d the total amount of the of
f:ce expenditures for 1919. He stat
•d in his wire that he would be glao |
to make proper corrections if he wa-
'urnished with this information. H;- !
: request w as promptly complie 1 wit I
j hy wire. the figures were given h;n
■ and a further tender of the record1
vhich are public property and ac
essihle to anyone was made am
hough this was done on July 9th. t«
late 1 have not see a statement from
him making the proper correction.
It is deplorable that any man deem

hands of the people of the state oi
