stitutton by One Head.

DIES MONIES, IOWA.-Further debate on the
bill for a single board Of regents for the three
Iowa educa tional institutions has been postponed
until next Tuesday. Senator Whipple Of Benton
county, chairman of the educational commission
which recommended the single board, made q
telling speech in favor Of the proposed change
He charged many abuses under the present sys-
tenn among them duplication of work. extrava-
CANT expenditures, keen rivalry among the insti-
buttons for appropriations, undue political activ-
ity and general lack Of competent supervision
and restraint.
The state university at Iowa City, the state
college of agriculture and mechanic arts at
Ames and the state normal college at Cedar
Falls he said, should never have been separated
in the beginning. 1t was no longer possible to
unite them, but he thought they should be placed
under a central board of control. He sharply
criticised the professors at Ames for lobbying
against the single board bill. Among other things
he pointed out that current expenses per stu
dent at Ames have increased from $S1 "a
a year in 1896 to $94.25 in 1905. At the state
university the same items for the same years
are respectively $500 and s140.74. sena tor

Duty and pollteness make It necessary for

only half said, though thoroughly under

glance Of the eye, the touching OF two feet
may convey whole volumes. And II Is to
this wireless telegraphy that this pair

sees in II a lesson In composition. There
are two focal points, the feet Of the lovers

Keeping shoes Well CroOmed.

No well-dressed woman IS ever careless
about the appearance Of her shoes. This,
at least, in theory, for oddly enough many
a woman who is otherwise perfectly
groomed wears footgear that is Disgrace
fully shabby and Ill kept
Strange to say, It is those who can least
afford to buy new pairs who are most
neglectful to preserve the life of their old
ones.
Nor is this hard to explain. The wealthy,
woman has enough shoes to change them
frequently-and occasional rests as
healthy for shoes as for their wearers.
Then she is well supplied with trees, which
are put into use the instant one pair OF
shoes is exchanged for another-than which
habit there is no greater preservative to
both shape and leather. Moreover, she can
probably control the services OF a maid
who sees to It that her mistress shoes are
kept constantly busted and blackened, with
sharp eye for stray buttons, rents or
run down heels.
But for the woman in moderate circum-
stances to keep her shoes in good condition
requires work. and plenty of it.
Now that there are bootblacking estab-
lishments especially for women in connec-
ton with many stores, the problem of
backing is not so hopeless formerly.
However, there are many times when these
are not accessible, and the average woman
would do well to invest in one Of the ad-
