WOMAN MAYOR OF WYOMING TOWN

and cattle range, and the children in the
country surrounding Dayton love and ad-
mire Aunt Susan"
Politically Mrs. wissler is q Democrat
but partisan politics cut little figure in
her election, as she was practically the
choice OF all parties. The saloon question
is dominant in Dayton. Like most towns
Of its class, Dayton is some lively
when a few visiting cowboys or sheep
herders come in from the lonely plains
and decide to wake things up. The con-
troll Of such turbulent spirits has vexed
the better class of citizens, and finally
it was decided to put a woman in the
mayors office and see IL some change for
the better could not be wrought.
Those who know Mrs Wissler have no
doubt that she will solve the problem
with determination, and at the same time
with tolerance. She has lived so long in
the big outdoor country that she knows
its questions are different from those Of
older communities and demand different
treatment. But life has been hard
fight for her, and she has delighted in
overcoming difficulties.
You bet that little woman in the
dry goods store is some scrapper," said
a 'gaunt cowpuncher, who had Just refined
up in front OF a Dayton saloon. 1T amt
her way to say much, but II she ever
takes It into her head to clean up this
town in a hurry, it's goin' to be a rec
ord-breakin' cleanup And II the mar
shall amt got sand enough to back her
up. she's jest liable to grab his star and
guns and go after the rough-necks her
self. You newspaper fellers are goin' to
get some good lively stories from this
here woman-bossed town Of Dayton, or
I'll miss my guess"
Mrs. Whistler has two grown children,
and says that politics has been a pleas
ant field Of work for her, ever since her
home duties ceased. Dayton. with its
population of only two or three hun
bred. does not appear like a big field
There's more devilment here than In
most cities many times the size," said
one Of, the new mayors boomers. IF
Aunt Susan can hold down the Job here
she wouldn't have any trouble bossing
New York or Chicago. We're going to
give her lots OF elbow room and plenty
Of help, and We believe that It amt going
to hurt things a bit to have a cracker
Jack housekeeper and business woman In
charge Of Dayton for awhile"

There's a little COW town in Northern
Wyoming whose mayor signs her name
Yours truly, Susan Wissler, Mayor Of
Dayton"
Though Wyoming is the FIRST equal suf-
frage State, no woman before secured
a mayors Office. Indeed, Mrs. Wissler
Is the second woman in the United States
to be Mayor, Hunnewell, Kans., having
chosen a woman for that post a year
or two ago. But the Hunnewen Mayor
was chosen more as a jest than In
earnest, it is said, and she was bitterly
opposed by the Town Council, whereas
Mrs. 'wfssler was selected from several
available candidates and was elected by
e rcusing majority that testified elo-
Quently TO the business ability which had
secured the the honor for her.
Il want to have some things corrected
about my election" said Mrs. Wissler
the other day. Some of the Wyoming
papers said the women elected me-
While many women voted for me, and I
appreciate their support, four-hfths of
the voters for me were cast by men.
You know Wyoming is q mans State,
and men are greatly in the majority
here. 1 doubt IL any one could get an
Office solely on the strength Of the wom-
an vote, as in other States where the
proportion Of women is much larger.
Another thing I want to have correct
ed is the story that I promised to close
the saloons and had appointed an anti
saloon man as marshal I made no
promises whatever-only that ! would do
my best to qualify for the office and to
give the people Of Dayton a good ad-
ministration. After I have made up my
mind what is the right thing to DO I
am going ahead without fear or favor,
and will have a marshal on the job
who will back me up
Mrs. Wissler is widow and has lived
in Wyoming twenty-five years. She IS
IN the dry goods business in Dalton, and
Is well known to the people Of Northern
Wyoming. Dayton is the chief town in
the cattle and sheep region, and is the
trading center OF the ranch folk for
miles around. Mrs. Wissler has a wide
acquaintance in her part OF the State
and even the cowboys and shepherd
ers know and respect her. For fifteen
years she taught school in the lonely
and isolated schoolhouses on the sheep

FOR WOMEN ON OTHER
SIDE OF THE HILL

The woman whose hair has started to
turn gray often faces a problem regard
ing dress. Her complexion, which has
lost the soft tints Of youth. should be
consulted.
The fair woman may md that her
delIcateIy colored skin has become
rather fiorid. The fresh ooloring of the
dark woman may have faded altogether.
Gowns Of crude hard shades should
be avoided in either case.
Laces Of the cream and old ivory
tints should be used instead Of white.
For indoor wear the skirts with long
flowing lines are charming
With silver hair shade of silver gray
TO tone with the hair is effective. In
fact, gray is always a safe color for the
woman who is past her frst youth.
Soft tones Of mauve and amethyst are
attractive colors, suitable for the dressy
gowns. Old rose also may be worn.
These gowns should be fashioned from
supple materials, which fall into grace
full folds. Velvet, crepe de chine, NOUS
seine de sole and soft silks Of endless
variety are suitable.

We are a strange lot Of folk. anyway,
We and our holidays. Strange upon the
Fourth, when we forget all about the
why for the day and the wonderful
trend Of events that Drought It about;
strange at Christmastide, when the
spirit OF shopping and of prodigal gift

most should dominate. Strange, too, at

The New Fourth
Nv FRANCES SHARPER.

Just a few years ago 1t was some
thing OF a novelty to read or hear about
the safe and sane Fourth" that q
handful Of dreamers were promising for
the future. But during that time the
movement has spread 50 far and so well
that there is greater peace OF mind in
the average family and fewer little
wrecks when the day is over.
But do You know that last year there
was a record OF 1,6OS children who were
killed or seriously injured as a result OF
too much OF the old cannon and cracker
spirit and too little Of the new way Of
telling the story of independence? That
was a goodly decrease over the year be-
fore but we never shall be satisfied
until the last murderous frecracker has
gone the sure way Of oblivion.
How did we ever grow to think that
explosives were soul stirring? The fact
is, even the most ardent boy OF all had
to acquire the taste, and generally pater-
familIas was the instructor.
We say the accidents are on the de-
cline and So they are Prohibitive laws
are being passed, some explosives elimi-
mated, and, best Of all, cities are taking
the initiative, in the-way OF furnishing
fascinating substitutes.
But the balance Of trouble is right
In the family. All the boys and many
of the girls have grown fond of the
noise, powder. and smoke, and so long
as there is a Johnny-neXt-door who will
have frecrackers 1t is a bit hard to
deny the children in the home who want
to keep up their end OF the usual car
nival Of noise.
But surely each family knows Of some
particular treat that can be substituted
year after year until the clamor for fire.
crackers dies away. There is So much
Of the spirit of imitation IN US all that
where one home makes a hard and fast
rule to break away from the old custom
others will gladly and easily fall in line.
Last year, when the new order Of
things was under discussion among a
little group Of men and women. the very
oldest of all, a grandmother, declared it
all nonsense, this talk Of the safe and
sane Fourth" She believed in a good
time" letting the little ones take their
chances. AS for her she liked a lot of
noise, smoke, and bang, always had II,

little grandchildren, whom she loved bet

And II was only a small firecracker, a
