there were several beautiful hats lying
about. During the conversation the
little girl amused herself by examining

Points
for
Mothers
Length of children's skirts.


Mothers are often perplexed to know
just how long to make their young
children's and girls skirts.
For the Tot of one year the little
skirt must be cut to the top of the tiny
shoes. Any longer than this would in
terfere with progress when the little
one learns TO walk.
At eighteen months, when the sturdy
tot is running about, let the hem come
halfway between the shoe tops and the
knee When the third milestone has
been passed let the skirt be shortened
so as just 10 show the bend of the
knee and keep this length until the
little lady is six years old.
The average child between the ages
Of seven and twelve years should have
her dresses cut long enough to cover
the knee.
At thirteen add an inch or two to the
length OF the dress. and should she
continue to develop drop the skirt
length to point halfway between the
knee and ankle.
AS she reaches fifteen years let the
skirt be about two inches above her
shoe tops At sixteen skirt that
comes to the top Of the shoe is cor
rect.
When she Is eighteen she is young
lady and should be allowed to choose
the length of skirt she likes best. but
N she is wise girl she will cling to
ankle length. or about four inches from
the ground. These rules, of course, are
subject to modification, according to
the development of the girl. Some girls
are much larger or smaller than other1
at given age and should be dressed In
keeping with their size.
Until girl is past twenty-one she
should not wear very long skirts. Even
the debutante out for her second OF
third season can wear with propriety
q dance frock that escapes the floor by
three inches.

WELLS
To Be Drilled In Western
Kansas

Topeka, Kan. March 9--It is estlm-
ated by officials of the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe railway that more
than 5000 Irrigation wells are being
drilled in western Kansas this winter.
And every well means from 40 to co
acres of land under irrigation during
the hot season next summer.
"Derricks are as thick in western
Kansas as they ever were in the oil
fields" said Charles A. Walker, divl-
sion freight agent of the Santa Fe.
"They are similar in size and shape to
those used in the oil fields, and they
are in veritable droves throughout the
western part of the state, especially in
Finney, Scott, Hamilton, Ness, Logan
Haskell and Gray counties"
The wells vary in depth from so to
400 feet and are from 12 to 80 inches
In diameter, depending on how large
the pumps are. The drills 20 down
from Is to so feet after striking wat
er and the water Is drawn from the
bottom of the well, so that, there is
always sufficient head to the water to
guarantee steady pumping.
For 80 miles on each side of the Ar
kansas river there is what is known
as the "underfiow," an inexhaustible
sheet of water flowing through grav-
ell and sand at the rate of 500 feet a
day and from 100 to 800 feet thick All
of these wells tap this underflow and
get water from it for the crops when
the rains do not come. The water is
pumped into ponds scattered about ov-
er the fields to be irrigated, and the
pumps keep going day and night The
water is allowed to run out of these
ponds and over the fields as needed.
These wells cost from $3.50 to $4,000
fully equipped with pumps and gaso-
line engines, the cost depending on
the depth and size of the pumps. John
Bolts, near Syracuse, in Hamilton
county, has well 33 feet to water,
and a centrifugal pump with four
inch discharge pipe pumps 4S0 gallons
of water a minute.
The plant cost $3.50, and by starting
| the pump in May half section of 800
, acres of land will be irrigated all
summer as the water is stored in
eight ponds.

OFFICES LOCKED
President Murphy Also Returns to
Windy City From the
East.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-President Tom
lynch of the National League came
mere yesterday but refused to lift the
Veil OF mystery that surrounded the vis-
It. The head OF the parent baseball or
ganization arrived somewhat unexpect-
edly and spent the afternoon seeking
President Johnsan, Of the American
League.
Lynch stormed the American League
offices In the Fisher building, but found
them locked. Whether ne saw johnson
later In the day is not known. as Lynch
departed last night without admitting
anything more than the fUct that he
came to see the American League head
on business.
Lynch had nothing to add to the Fo-
gel case. The National League chief
seems convinced that the boss Of the
Phillies. who got himself In bad by say
ing the National League race was
crooked, will have trouble vlndicating
himself when his case Is taken up by
the league this month. Fogel asserts
he never uttered the statements credit
ed to him. and this wili.be his defense
at the meeting that may result III his
banishment from the league.
President Murphy, Of the Cubs, like
wise reached Chicago after several
days in the East. The Cub magnate
came in on a morning train, went to
his office for short stay. and then
disappeared. presumably to play golf,
his latest hobby.
Murphy had nothing in the way Of
news. refusing to admit that he was in
the East to talk trades with any clubs,
but insisting that he spent most Of his
time in looking over the new ball park
In Brooklyn. Murphy wants to get
ideas to embody In his new stadium,
that he promises to build In time for
the 1914 playing season.
While at his office Murphy had a con-
sultation with Joe Tinker the Cub
shortstop. who hopes to figure in a
trade that will take him away from the
West Side. Tinker informed Murphy
that he had been to Cincinnati and
agreed upon terms to manage the Reds
for Garry Hermann.
Tinker wanted to know what Murphy
Intended to do about II, but received
no IA atisfaction, as the Cub magnatc Is
about as far out at sea as he was ten
days ago when Tinker asserted he
wouldn't manage the Cubs for "A farm,
