HIPS NO LONGER FASHIONABLE
THIS YEAR, SAY THE CORSETIEPE
The New Corsets Are at Once the Most Artistic

Hips are out OF fashion this year, ac-

figure, and no matter how large or
matrorly looking they are they insist
upon having corsets that will give them
a slender waist. high, rounded bust. and
the graceful lines OF young girl. To
acquire such a figure. according TO the
corsetiere, women not otherwise extrav-
agant will often spend anywhere from
s25 to $45 for one garment, where for

have an aversion TO large hips. and

Lillian FaUorS Potatoes.

Lillian Russell declares that pota-
toes are the best things 10 eat in the
world Perhaps one reason why the
fair Russell is so loud in singing their
praises is that she only allows herself
potatoes as an Indulgence
They are TOO terribly fatteninz for
daily fare, but as a treat. a spree, a
reckless. daring dissipation. Lillian
passes over champagne and sugar
plums and orders potatoes sautees. Of
ten she cooks them herself as she was
taught in France. She slices thin cold
polied potatoes, puts a good sized Iump

DUNNING DELEGATES.
Hold Up Attempted by
Individuals.

In letter which is a frightful speei-
men of grammatical construction. GER
tain fraternaI society people Of Topeka
are soliciting delegates to the Semicen-
tennial convention held in Topeka on
January % to contribute to a fund to
erect a fraternial building for the
semfcentennfaL
The scheme is meeting with the most
severe condemnation. People outside
OF town, who happened to be selected
as delegates to the Semicentennial con-
vention, do not like the idea of being
Qunned Tor money. They say That II is
simply an example of how Topeka IS
trying to hog something" Said a Wen
known state officer, who happened TO
get one of these circulars:
i don't know these people who sign
this circular, but I see that the circu-
lar bears the approval Of T. J. Ander-
son. The circular is practically re-
quest that every delegate to the Semi
centennial convention contribute S11 to
the fund to erect a permanent building
OF some sort here in Topeka. Now /
an friendly to Topeka; I believe the
town is all right, and I want this Semi
centennial to be a big success. But a
letter of this kind, sent, as I suppose
to all the Sem1cenfennial delegates
viii have a most disastrous effect.
believe that the people who are back
of this Semicentennial should hasten to
deny any responsibility for such a let
ter. If the fraternal people want to
work among their own members for
contributions, that is all right but this
scheme of trying to hold up every per-
son who was delegate to the eonven-
ton is all wrong"
The circular is signed by J. z. Hazen
and W. F. Conklin, and is endorsed be-
low. Il heartily approve Of the above
plan. T. J. Anderson, secretary Of To-
pela Commercial club; E. D. Coon,

The letter further says that of each

The circular says in part:
AS you are one of the Semicenten-

going together to build a union frater-

JOE CANS WON OUT.
DecisiveIy Defeated Mike Sullivan in
Tenth Round

Los Angeles, March 19.-Joe Cans Of
Baltimore decisively defeated Mike
Twin Sullivan of Boston Saturday nfzh+
IN ten rounds. While Sullivan was. MOI
counted out he was on the floor and
practically helpless when the police in
structed the referee to end the fight
Cans made perfect fight, wearing
down Sullivan with a straight left BODY
punch that never failed to land and
which had Sullivan's ribs in red glow
from waist to shoulder all through the
fight. Sullivan apparently had a show
to win in the third round when he land
ed hard right swing on Cans jaw
staggering him and forcing him to stall
for the remainder of the round
There was absolutely no in-fighting
the men agreeing to break clean and
to avoid fighting in the clinches. If
anything, this gave Sullivan an advan-
tage, but barring the one blow in the
third round, he failed to land effective
ly on Cans.
The fight was held at Chutes base
ball park, the ring being pitched direct
" in front Of the grandstand, which
served as "bleacher seats" for the
crowd The seats Immediately around
the ring were scantily occupied. The
spectators sat and shivered from 8
o'clock until 10. The delay was caused,
1t is said, because Of SulIiyan's unwill-
ingness to fight before the small crowd.

STRANDED IN TOPEKA.
ssAetress" Applies to Poor Commits
sioner Hale for Help.

Here is another little story for girls
with stage fever to read before they
try the footlight route Of earning
living.
A young lady. probably % or "a
years old, came to Poor Commissioner
Hale this morning at the court house.
Il belonged to a theater company
she said. until about two days ago.
The company broke UP and I'm
stranded here in Topeka without
money. I wish you would get me
ticket SO that I could get home to
Chicago"
1--WE can't do anything for you,
said BIr. Hale we have no funds
to help stranded theatrical people who
are strong and we'll and able to work"
The young lady refused to give her
name or the company to which she
belonged, after she was turned
down" But she did look very much
disappointed and mighty lonely as she
turned away and went out of the poor
commissioners office.
Pretty heavy demands were made
on Mr.. Hale this morning. A lot Of
poor people are cut of coal, and ia
visions was down to the same stage
that Mother Hubbard found her
cupboard when she went to get her
poor dog a bone. Mr.. Hale supplied
all who came.
Lots of my regular customers
were on hand this morning" he said.
"a few new ones came also, as every
sharp snap brings in. have yet
found no case of extreme restitution.
So far ] have kept right up with my
orders Of coal. The dealers are sup
plying me as quickly as they can, and
am still keeping up with the pro-
cession-"

is making the motors for the new plant
is so rushed with work that it cannot
complete the job until May.
Mr.. McNeal thought he would have
the old motors moved over into the new
building as a temporary expedient, but
h e has found that the old motors won't
work with the kind of current which is
supplied from the state heating and
power plant. Consequently there is
nothing to do now but wait until the
new motors are ready in May.
