Wichita, Kan, Oct. 16.-Mrs. H:
Samuels, wife of the widely known
Prof. Samuels of this city, was near
" decapitated by being struck across
the throat by a heavy wire stretched
across a road in Riverside park.
Eleven stitches were taken in Mrs.
Samuels throat and two in her
tongue. Physicians fear the injury
and shock may develop grave results.
Two wires had been strung across a
road in Riverside park to keep teams
from interfering with a picnic then in
progress. No clothes or other signals
were on the wires. Mrs. Samuels,
with a party OF friends, came past in
an auto. The lower wire struck across
the front of the engine and the driv-
er stopped short, but not before the
upper wire had glanced across the
top of the wind shield and caught
Mrs. Samuels across the throat. Three
other women in the car were some
what injured though none as seri-
ously as Mrs. Samuels.

Men Condemn OK for Women.

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 16.-Wome ath-
letes at the University of Kansas prob
ably will receive ks this year for the
first time in the history of the institu-
ton. At a meeting of the Women's Atm

decided and the insignia will be given
to seniors who have excelled in three
sports, hockey. tennis and basketball.
The form of the "K'' has not yet been
decided upon.
The idea of granting ks to women
does not appeal to the men of the school
and there threatens to be a campaign
against allowing the co-eds to wear the
coveted and distinctive insignia.

When Smith died the people
heard that he left everything he
had to the Orphan Asylum. They
admired him and praised him.
Then, when they heard that he
left nothing but twelve children
they changed their minds. There
is no more sacred duty than pro-
tecting your family. The surest
way to do this is to insure your

investments may go wrong,
Honest life insurance never does.
