May Stop Liquor Traffic.

In a recent decision the supreme
court of the United States held THAI
where liquor was shipped into prohi-
bition state for the purpose of violaI-
ing the prohibitory law that shipment
did not comprise interstate commerce.
That decision may be the salvation OF
the temperance people of Kansas who
have been looking for some way to
prevent the shipment of liquor into
this state from wet" states adjoin-

much for the careers that lie outside
the home. An investigation or the
subject at the university of Kansas
shows that the majority of the girls
there are taking courses that might be
included in curriculum of school of
matrimony. Nearly half the girls
who have been graduated since it was
established have taken the family
course in the department of sociology.
This course is a study of the econom-
ic questions arising out of the matri-
monial relations.

Lack DEVELOPMENT.

The world is full of half-developed
lives; men and women who are COM

things as they are weak in others, bril-
