First Excursion.

If the Seeing Topeka First ex-
cursion proves a success next Tues
day." said Secretary J. Will Kelley
OF the Commercial club today, we'll
arrange a similar tour of the factories
for the women
Inquiry has been made on the part
OF Topeka women who are interested
IN the idea as mapped out for the
men. The women do more shopping
than the men, and consequently the
advertising committee of the CONNER
cial club looked with favor upon the
suggestion of Secretary Kelley of ar
ranging for a special factory visiting
day for them which will eliminate
with a dinner.
The committee decided that it
would be impossible to take all the
business men on the tour in one di-
vision next Tuesday. The men will be
divided into groups, each group to
have a captain or chairman. These
chairmen will be chosen at a meeting
of the committee Friday noon. Rep
resentatives from each division will
tell of their experiences at the 6
o'clock dinner which will be given at
the club at the close of the excursion.
