American girl Is the poorest cook In
the world and the cause of many q
man taking to drink to drown her
heavy biscuits, is the opinion of Prof.
W. L. Bartolf, Lane Technical high
school teacher.
In an address before the National
Vocational and Industrial congress
Professor Bartolf advocated the aboli-
tion of the various forms of higher
education in the public and high
schools and the substitution of q prac.
tical course in home care and cook
ing. He said:
"There Is such thing as too much
culture. We keep our girls in school
stud ying the classics, when they should
be studying the various grades of
roast beef and the proper way to make
bread. The police of this city declare
that large percentage OF drunken.
ness Is due to the poor cooking at

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 2.-As re-
suit OF an investig alton made by the
department of the interior, the candi-
dacy OF John B. Kendrick for United
States senator from Wyoming, has
been seriously involved.
Kendrick, who is q wealthy cattle
man and lives near the Montana line,
made apple alton a few years ago to
cut timber in Montana setting forth
that he was q dry farmer and resi-
dent OF that state, and secured 5000
feet for building purposes. Kendrick g
candidacy resulted In his being called
upon for an explain alton, which be
made, to the effect that he was san
actual resident of Montana, although
claiming legal residence IN Wyom
ing."
Kendrick was chosen as the demo
cratic candidate in the recent primary
election. A department ruling that he
is bona fde resident of Montans
might result in his rejection by the
democratic party OF Wyoming.
