Make Way With a Tray of Watches in
a Newton Store Easily.

Newton. Sept. 25.-The Republican
says:
Last evening about 4:30 o'clock three
fairly well dressed Mexicans entered
P. NJ Anderson's store and asked Mrs.
Anderson, Phirs mother, who was in
charge of the store at the time to be
shown something that she understood
from their lingo to be crayons or pen
ellis of some nature. She started to the
rear of the store. where these supplies
are kept, two of the Mexicans follow
ing her. while the third one remained
towards the front. After parleying for
several minutes and jabbering fbetween
themselves in- language that was en-
tirely unintelligible to Mrs. Anderson,
they decided as she supposed. the
article she wes showing them was not
what they wanted and they left the
store.
In the meantime the third fellow had
disappeared. although this was consid-
cred Of no consequence at the time. but
a few minutes later Mrs. Anderson dis
covered that a case containing prob
ably two dozen watches ranging in
price from $3.50 to $1,000 was missing.

LIVE TN DORMITORIES.
President Sanders of Washburn Would
Change Plans.

In an article for the washburn Re-
view. DIR. Frank K. Sanders, president
of Washburn, has the following to say
concerning the needs of washburn:
1.-THE first need which impresses
itself on my mind is that of dormi-
tories. I should like to see the great
bulk of our students rooming on the
campus including many of those whose
homes are in Topeka. In New Haven
the city boys who go to college at all
go prevailing to Yale, but they are as
eager to room in college dormi-
otries as are those who come from a
distance. To have every student on
the campus is not essential; But to
have a large percentage is very de-
sirable, if the influences and associa-
tions of the college are to count for
their utmost advantage"
The dormitory question at Wash
burn has always been a troublesome
one. Holbrook. the girls dormitory.
is run on the college plan and has
worked out very successfully for a
number of years. But a dormitory for
the boys has always been looked at
with fear by a number of the board
of trustees. Washburn had a dormi-
tory a long time ago when Rice hall
was the whole college including the
gymnasium, library. observatory, col
lege office, laboratories, recitation
rooms. chapel and the boys dormi-
tory. 1t can still be remembered by
some of the students at that time, the
manner in which the rooms were kept
in condition and the general aspect of
the boarding house feed" When
you get a bunch of fellows together
over a boarding house table and try to
satisfy over three of them it is an
eternal question"
However. with the present accommo-
dations at the college and the modern
methods used mans dormitory would
follow in natural order in the list Of
improvements.
Washburn has suffered more than
any other college in the west on ac-
count of the lack of enthusiasm. First

is New Haven and Cambridge without

still have a bank clearing report with

suffers.
President Sanders idea is one that
will undoubtedly be needed and given
much thought and consideration by the
board OF trustees. The only sign OF q
boys dormitory at Washburn Is the
Y M C. A house which Is situated on
the campus. The two fraternity houses
and sorority house are greatly instru-.

vision. washburn students can not be
censured by their lack of Individual
enthusiasm but as a whole they ara
woefuIly lacking in the real stun that

sometimes think the speaker has
merely heard the name mentioned and
he does not know what the purpose
OF the company is. or its plan of
business. The Standard oil company
states. The Standard oil company
by the application of good sense to it's
business, by the application of genius
and discovery of the component parts
of the raw material has made oil
products reach values that were never
dreamed of a few years ago.
Il think that we all know more
about the purpose Of the Standard Oil
company and its plan of business
than we did few years ago. We
know that the Standard Oil company
has done wonders in the United
States
cor at least in the United states.
we ali know that the Standard Oil by
the application Of genius and dis
covery has developed some pretty
raw material in the organization of

mean reputable. We are positive on
that point. 1t might possibly mean re-

means Republican. The above letter

came clever household shoppers and dainty cooks. The instruction, how ever. was essentially different from that of the cooking school with it's mar ble topped tables gas ranges, and ideal utensils. The visiting teacher took things as she found them; cooked on a coal or wood stove or on an oil stove or charcoal stove and used whatever was at hand.
 She did not, however, use the dishpan for stew meat and rather insisted on stew pan. This fastidiousness, how ever, did not go as far as recommending expensive double boilers, fancy egg beaters and spices and oth CT accessor- les of the model kitchen. If a double boiler was needed it was made out of an old bucket or can. Her mission was to show that with proper management and fire, good food is as cheap as bad food.
 In cases of very poor families needing help, the cooking teacher paid for the food in addition to showing how it should be cooked In many of these very poor families it was found that their condition was largely due to wastefuness with food and total ignorance of how to buy and how to cook For the bride of the tene- ment has not the same chance as the bride of the apartment. The bride of the apartment can afford to experiment and waste money learning how to cook And when meals turn out an utter fail ure she and her husband go out to a restaurant and joke over the affair most charmingly. In the tenement, however. a ruined meal is catastrophe, and means hungry children and an angry hus- band who has no chance except the free
