Life along The Congo is battle with
beasts, savage tribes and disease. Here

The savage does not need houses

The negro savage is best let alone.
THE so-called civilized Christianized
savage is to be feared. To try to live
on brotherly terms with him is de-
moralizing-to him. Highly initiative,
he takes on all the vices of the white
man and none of his virtues. He re-
turns to his bush town, disseminating
the bad, never the good. This all ap-

to the native man."

WHY BARE WOMEN?
Pennsylvania Preacher Takes Mothers
of Immodest Girls to Task.

Altoona, Pa. May SIN caustic style
today the decline on moral standards
in America was placed on THE I'M
modest Fashions" by the Rev. j. H.
Keller, of Phillipsburg, Pa, speaking
before the Northwest Synod of the
Lutheran church. Rev. Mr.. Keller said:
The cry is that girls go wrong be-
cause they are logged by men, but the
initiative appears to be taken by the
mothers and daughters themselves. The
night caps, scant attire, peekaboo
waists, hobble skirts and flimsy sil1en
stockings do not breed respect for
womanhood. If women want to wear
trousers, why do they not wear them
with both legs instead of trying to
stick both feet into one leg?
IF men are not to be enticed to
make advances, why do the mothers
allow their daughters to walk around
barearmed, bare legged, with bare
backs and bare bosoms, making eyes at
the men?
with the immodest dress of the
average girl of today, it requires a
great deal of nerve for a minister to
look the ladies unblushingly in the face
and greet them with warm handshake

Chicago, May S.-Skull cutting by
machinery is the latest development
in cranial surgery. DR.. Emil G. Hog
lung of Chicago is the inventor. A
secret demonstration was given at the
May meeting of the Chicago Medical
society.
The machine is a cylindrical saw
operated at high speed by electricity.
A patient can be trepanned by this
method in a fraction of the time re-
quired by the old cI1isel and hand

In cases requiring instant operation
it is claimed that the new machine

would have been considered hopeless

THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
Farce. 1.-THE Aviator" Will Be Pre-
scented May 16.

The senior class of the Topeka high
school has already announced the sem
ior play for May 16.
The title of the play is 1.-The Aviator"
which is one of James Montgomery 5
greatest pieces, being by far the most
pretentious play ever presented by an
amateur organization in this city.
Anyone looking at the title alone
would see the possibilities of a great
farce of the Aviator. The story of
the plav is a scream from start to fin
ish and is full of perplexing situations
in comedy lines. 1t is the same play
that capitavated New York when it play
ed at the Aston theater. In Chicago
it had a long run at the Olympic. In
Philadelphia it had an equally long
stay at the Chestnut street opera
house.
The settings of the play are very
heavy. necessitating much special
scenery which is being secured from
Chicago. The Aeroplane scene in act
there where Robert Street flies into the
air. is very startling and has created
much comment because of the realism.
This is the first time THE Aviator"
has ever played Topeka. 1t is the first
time ever put on by amateurs. 1t is
fresh from the large eastern theaters
where Robert Eddinger and Christine
Norman played to tremendous houses.
Alan Dale in the New York American
says: The Aviator arrive at the AS
tor theater in every sense of the word
and it may be said at once that it leap
ed sky high into the azure of humor.'
