popular railroad men ever In ANA

In leaving Amarillo Mr.. Stowell
states that he takes a most reluctant
leave OF the people, with whom he

years. Today he is passing among
his friends taking leave Of them and
expressing for them continued well

At this time Mr.. Stowell does not

(From Saturdays Daily)
Chicago, Nov. 1l.--"American
children are too clean, too vain and
too 'puffed up American school
teachers are too much inclined to be
fashionable. American parents are
too anxious to earn money" -
This is the view OF conditions in
the United States pictured by Pro-
fessor Frlts Kochpof tle Lake Gene
va new school, Switzerland. His
opinions, gained during a recent in
vestigation of American educational
institutions, are stated In an article
on "The Conservation OF Childhood, I"
In the November number OF the Ele-
mentary School Teacher, Nsued yes
terday from the University OF chica-
so press:
Professor Koch believes tho chill
dren would lose part OF their van
ity II the too fashionable teachers
Sere banished from the school rooms.
Not least among the detriments
70 a natural development OF children
is fashion, a forced culture OF vanity
and extravaganza" he declares in
discussing the tendency to place
clothes above learning. mot only
DO the parents, but also the teachers
set the example. To foilc/ slavishly
all the extravaganza OF fashion ap-
pears to be a far stronger tendency
han the desire to be refined and
simple.
Cleanliness is virtue not de-
mandrd from the factory hand while
1t work, hut children while at play
are constantly reprimanded because
OF their dirty hands, spots on theil
clothes, etc, So frequently are they
.allpd away from their real life be-
,ause Of this and so dressed up are
many Of them, because the father
can afford It and the mother likes
it, that natural, intense, wild play
is gradually replaced by occupations
Of lesser value, or by systematic
games, like tennis, basketball and
baseball.

MRS. TAFT NOW THE TOPIC

Mrs. Taft's hats was in toupe and
amethist shades and the other in
black and white. The first hat was
Of mushroom shaped felt in the
toupe or mole color, trimmed with
amethist velvet and wings TO match.
The second hat was OF black beaver
ON the order of small sailor, and
trimmed with fancy black and white
wings.
One OF Mrs. Taft's reasons for lik-
ing New York millinery is that the
woman who sold her the hats Is an
old school friend, who lived in the
same block in the same street with
Mrs. Taft in Cincinnati. This is tina
street on which Charles P. Taft,
brother of the president, lives and
where the president-elect's family
made their home during the CAM
paign.

EE.CORNERED FIGHT
FOR MAYOR

The mayoraItv contest this week de-
veloped into three-cornered fight, when
a petition nominating H. T. Senay for
mayor was fled with the town clerk. G.
w. Avery and E. II. Snyder are the
other nominees, and as each Of the can
ditiates i well known and has many
friends IN town, it is guess as to who
will be elected.
While each candidate has plenty of
supporters, the fight is not bitter one
by any means, and the best Of feeling
seems to prevail, generally speaking. In
the beginning it seemed for time that
the contest would be hot one, with con-
siderable bad feeling aroused, but now
nearly everybody has come to take a
sensible view of the situation and there
is nothing more serious III the air than a
good-naturcd election contest, such as is
actually enjoyed by the average Ameri-
can citizen.
There has been no change in alder
manic candidates, the nominees being N
follows:
First Ward-P. L. Eorclm.
Second Ward-Fred Sprague and ]. f.
Skyles.
Third ward-H. C. Wcgner and c. G..

Robinson had been apprised of the in

the house was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. ~ 1J
While it was birthday party, nobody
seems to know just which birthday it
was, and the real age of the surprised
host is just as much in the dark as ever.
1t is not to be inferred from this, how
ever, that Mr.. Robinson admits for a
moment that he is getting old. During
the evening the visitors presented Mr..
Robinson with a fine upholstered chair
as . reminder of the OCCASION.
