decided whether to blame Tandy and
Bone or leave the matter at the door
of the state board of health on ac-
count of an imaginary ruling from
that body, and l am just advised by
DR.. Crumbine, secretary of the board,
that to his knowledge his department
had never been consulted about the
matter of a curb market in Topeka!
Everybody knows that the state board
of health is not going to Interfere with
a properly conducted curb market, so
there is no excuse for abandoning the
project on that account.
AS to a location for a curb mar
ket, L have made several suggestions
to Mr.. Miller along that line but they
have seemingly been ignored. One
was to use the curb in front of the Au-
ditorium and also the space on the
alley at the south side of the Au-
ditorium. A sidewalk would be need
ed in the last place but it could be Laid
at a small expense. Another location
that 1 consider an admirable one is
the curb on the east side of the City
park on lower Kansas avenue. There
is frontage of nearly 400 feet there
and an exceptionally wide street. 1t
is also possible to extend it around on
the south side of the park If nee eSSary.
This location is in the very heart
of the district which to my mind would
be most likely to patronize a market
and would not bother any one unless
il might interfere with the amusement
company that has just been granted
a five year lease on City park and
which is 1 believe a matter of deeper
concern to Mr.. Miller than the mar
ket place.
1t is not at all out of the question
to try this curb market plan out this
spring and if it proves successful, go
before the people with bond PROPOSE
ton at the regular fall election IN
stead of waiting until next spring and
making political capital out of it.

BONE HASN'T CHANGED
SAYS His Position on Market House Is
Same as of Old.

To the Editor of the State Journal
In last nights issue of the State
Journal you say that my position rela-
tive to the city market has changed
with the wind. 1 would like to set you
right on this matter.
maintain the same position now that
/ have always taken relative to mar
ket house and have not changed in
the least, yours or Mr.. Miller's state
ment to the contrary notwithstanding
When Mr.. Miller first presented the
question It carried with it a call for
a special election to vote market house
bonds in a large amount. 1 said at
that time and repeat here that 1 am
unaltera bly, opposed to a bond issue III
any amount until the plan can first
be tried out on small scale and its
practicability proven. At that first
discussion and at several that followed
1 stated that L did not for a single
moment believe that a public market
would reduce the high cost of living or
change the price of foodstuffs one bit
insofar as the consumer is concerned
for 1 believe that the huckster or
truck gardener who brings his pro-
duce to city market will charge the
consumer just as much as the grocer
charges today. L think it is unreal
6onable to expect the huckster or gar
dener to retail his wares at anything
like the same price they would be will
ing to accept from the produce man
or grocer who took them in bulk
thereby relieving them of the neces-
siry of standing for five or six hours
at market place.
4 have also doubted the eagerness
OF the housewife to make special
trip to the market place for her table
supplies when she can step to the
phone and have them delivered Mt the
door or buy them from passing buck
STEERS as is her custom now.
/ may be wrong in my views on
this matter, but up to this time 1 have
had no reason for changing my mind.
However, 1 have said all along and
say now that 1 will vote for any sane
whether it be a curb market or any
other kind Mr.. Miller recommends
provided the experiment is made in
an economical way. / have never push
ed this market house idea and am IL:
10 way pushing it now. neither am
seeking to embarrass Mr.. Miller, as he
would have you believe, but 1 do not
intend to sit idly by and allow him
to charge me with the defeat of his
plans
Judging from his recent actions 1
very seriously doubt if Mr.. Miller ever
had any intention of putting his mar
ket house proposition through, for as
far as 1 can see the complexion of the
since last spring and he could put his
market house scheme through just
like he has a number of other things,
without consulting the little two
The truth of the matter is, he has been
looking for some convenient place to

GIRLS ARE JEALOUS.
So Daisy Chain Custom at Vassar May
Be Abolished.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April 5.-The
Vassar faculty is seriously considering
abandoning the custom of selecting the
"a prettiest girls in the senior class to
carry the famous daisy chain. 1t is
said the selections have frequently
caused much ill feeling among MEM
bers of the class. Some of the college
officials also object to the custom on
the ground that the prominence given
to it is likely to lead outsiders to think
that personal comeliness is more high
Iy esteemed at Vassor than scholarly
attainment.
The daisy chain at Vassar dates
back nearly fifty years to the time the
college was opened in 1865. Out of
the sophomore class each year averag-
ing ESQ students, committee of
class officials picks a group of "a
young women who seem to them to be
the most beautiful and graceful in the
class. This years selection included
ten girls from the middle Atlantic
