WOMEN'S FACES
And Figures In Advertising the Sub
ject of Action by the z. w. P. A.

The ninth annual meeting of the Kan
sas Woman's Press association which
held it's last session in Topeka Thurs
day evening, was one of the best at
tended and most interesting meetings
ever held by the association.
Every year new members are taken
in and new interest is being shown until
the organization is becoming strong and
self-reliant.
An interesting programme was given
at the afternoon meeting and the at
tendance was large. Mrs. Mary E.
Heating of CimarrOn read a paper en-
titled, why Every Newspaper Should
Have a Woman on the Staff and this
combined with the bright remarks of a
half a dozen members which followed,
would have convinced even the most
prejudiced.
Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, always an in
teresting speaker gave a most practi-
cal talk on THE Present Trend of Lit
erature." Her statements, backed by
convincing proof were that the lit
erature of the present day inclines
toward a higher plane and that fewer
Objectionable books are published eV-
cry year.
A discussion followed on the subject.
''That Self-culture is Better Then Self
sacrifice The affirmative was taken
by Mrs Lena Elder Fuller and the neg
alive by Mrs. Cora Lewis. after which,
many of those present had something to
say on the subject. Both sides of the
question were elOQuently argued, put
book culture, versus soul culture was
the basis of the discussion until more
practical idea was introduced by the
suggestion of self-sacrifice which reach
es self effacement, which was, in the
minds of every one present. great mis-
take 1t was finally decided that self
culture is the outcome of self-sacrifice,
and that there can be no real Self-cul-
ture without self-secrifice.
The question, What is Objectionable
Advertising" occupied some time. Free
advertising, was suggested as one KIND
but that was passed over and more
serious view of the matter taken in re-
gard to newspapers and bill boards. At
a suggestion made by Mrs. Minnie ID.
Morgan, a resolution was adopted, ap-
pointing the president and secretary, a
committee to communicate with the
club women of Illinois in regard to the
movement they are making to prevent
women'S faces and figures from being
used for advertising purposes, with a
view to inauguratInS a like movement
in our own state.
1t was a disappointment to every one
that they were not to hear Miss Emma
Kelly talk on the KlOndike, but she was
compelled to return there sooner tnan
she expected.

WILL WEAR STARS. -
The Police Force to Be Given Stellar
Insignia Instead of Shields.

One of the first changes to be made
by Chief Ramsey will be in the badges
worn by the policemen.
The present shield will be superseded
by a sfx-pOinted star such as was
formerly in use. The stars will bear
the words police, Topeka" and the
number of the officer. The numbers will
be from one to %. The question has
often been raised about the legality of
an arrest by an officer wearing a shield
as the city ordinances read that the
badge of a policeman shall be a star
The new badges will be medium sized
stars. At present the force objects to
the shields they wear as looking too
much like an eXpressman's badge.

PROPERTY TO THE STATE.
Salina "Cowboy'' Dies, Leaving Prop
erty But No Heirs-$75O Found
Buried.
TFrOm the Salina Journal. I

A man known in Salina years ago as
Paddy" Gallagher died at his home
near Tom Martins farm, near the con-
f1uence of the Solomon and the Smoky
rivers, last Thursday. He was a bach
eIOr. In the early days he used to come
to Salina with long hair and arrayed in
cowboy apparel, and he would have
regular time" He would ride his horse
along sidewalks in daredevil fashion,
and paint the town a Vermillion hue.
But of late years he has seldom Wis
tied Salina, and from the fact that he
has been little heard of one might infer
that he had sowed his wild oats He
had lived a hermit's life and very little
had been known of him in a business
way. He leaves farm valued at Sc 900
and other property, but has no heirs.
In looking after his personal property
$3.50 in tomato can was found buried.
There being no heirs, the property will
revert to the state.
