EXPERIENCE OF KANSAS CITY

Commission System Wipes Out CITY
Debt IN Nlne Months.

Kan, established on a cash paying
basis With a surplus in every one oi

none of the revenue for lol used for
the expenses of 1910.
That was the condition financially

mission law that requires a municipal
corporation to live within its means
1t Is pointed out that when the com
missioners took charge III April. 1910.
the funds for the entire year practi
cally had been used in advance, and
there was an indebtedness against
nearly every fund.
The area Of the city under the uew
rule WAS seventeen square miles. while
the area In 1909 under the council
Jurisdiction was ten square miles The
assessed valuation OF the enlarged
city made In 1910 on which to collect
taxes for 1911 expenses Is $5S.S0O.OOt,
against an assessed valuation Ut $11,
OO0tNN made in 1909 for 1910 ex
penSes Of the city before the eXten

poses is the same under the 1910 levy
as under that of 1919

MIGHT HAVE COME EARLIER
Admirer of Musician Must Have Felt
Truth of the Answer lie
Received.

Signor Puccini, although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, Is
still young man. On the subject OF
his early success the Italian composer
said recently in New York
Il have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
Il remember one of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before seventy, would never have seen
any of his operas produced Luckily
he lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of obscurity and neglect,
and he frequently spoke bitterly OF
his bad fortune.
"Once, at the very end of his long
life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera in Rome, and said re-
spectfully:
81 have travelled all the way from
London to see the author of my IA
vorite opera
1.-The veteran composer, with ma
hcious smile, replied:
We'll, my friend. have given you
plenty of time to get here"

RENOVATING THE TULLE VEIL
Few Moments Care and Trouble viii
Restore Adornment to Orig
inaI Beauty.

Tulle wells that have become limp
may be renovated by pressing them
with a warm iron, having first placed
a handkerchief between the iron and
the tulle Lace wells and scarfs should
be soaked in strong lather of white
soap and soft water and allowed to
simmer gently in a saucepan over a
fire for about twenty minutes.
The wells should be lifted out and
squeezed tightly, but not rubbed, then
rinsed out in cold water. The second
lot of water should be family tinged
with blue and have in it a small guam
tity of hot starch. Clear the wells of
any particles of the starch by clap
ping well between the hands; then
pin on a clean white cloth and allow
to dry. In this manner they will look
as fresh and clean as when new, and
they may be washed any number of
times. Wells should always be ironed
with a handkerchief or piece Of fine

TRANSPARENT YOKE is HERE
Takes the Place of Low Neck Dress
and Is Welcomed Almost
Unanimously.

Except for actual evening dress, the
low neck is not seen now. Fash
ion DEGREES instead-and good sense
for once Joins her-that the transpar-
ent yoke and high collar be worn in
stead.
This yoke may be pleated or tucked,
but more frequently it is perfectly
plain, without suggestion OF ruchlng
or ornamentation Of any kind. OF
course the collar must be boned, but
the bones are made as few and as in
conspicuous as possible, SO that the
yoke and the collar seem simply fitted
closely, though not tightly, to the
figure.
These yokes are usually of net,
though chiffon and even tulle or ma
line are occasionally seen, particularly
the first; and they are, nine times out
of ten, dead white. If you have not
the sort of skin that can stand pure
white next to it, insert a tiny fold of
ecru or f1esh-colored chiffon under the
top Of your collar, but do not let 1t
be apparent.
This style is especially seen in
dressy gowns in the darker colors-
most Of all in black. The color con-
trast is striking, and is usually most
attra ctive and becoming. Although
one would not think so, it looks espe-
cially well on middle-aged women who
have not lost their fresh compilations
and whose hair is white or gray. Moth
ing could be more distinguished in
appearance than a draped black silk
gown, simply trimmed, with one of
these white net yokes and collars,
on a woman of this type.
The collar Is as high as can be
borne with comfort (and as tight
.also), and is slightly pointed under
the ears. In general, it has not even
a line of black at the top, but is, as
/ have said, absolutely plain through
out.-Exchange

Crows In Winter Quarters

Much attention has been attracted
within the last few days by an appar
ent migration of an unusually largt
number of crows eastward and over
this city 1t is believed that by stand
ing in one spot one might count al
many as a thousand crows passing
over the city within the space OF {
single hour.
When questioned on this subject thu
other day, Robert o. Morris, ornithol
ogist. said that of late great mum
bers of crows have taken to winterins
in the suburbs of Springfield, and thai
this year these birds are more numet
Gus than ever before. The eastward
migration Mr.. Morris declared to bt
only apparent, as the crows are just
as likely to fly in any other direction
and are not at present migrating al
all. The birds roost in the branches
of trees during the night and during
the daytime fly here and there in quest
OK food They have come from sec
tons further north, and year by yeal
exhibit a growing preference for the
vicinity of Springfield as a winter re
sort-Springfeld Union.
