It is estimated that more than half
the residents Of the cities of the first
and second class in Kansas are VIC
lating the state law which provides
for the handling of trash and prohibits
its being burned under certain condi-
lions. The law which was passed
last winter, and was approved March
1S, last, provided that it was to take
effect six months after its approval.
1t went into effect September IS. AL
though men who are handling trash
burners, the proper installation of
which will conform to the law, &C.
cording to the state fire marshal, re-
port many more sales than before
the law became effective, it is known
that the majority of the people are
taking no steps toward living up to
the law.
Refuse must be hauled outside the
cities and burned or buried, according
to the law. Cremation in an author
ized trash burner will answer the pur
pose, according to State Fire Mar
shall Harrison Parkman. But most
people are doing neither. Those in
terested in fire prevention are now
asking themselves, when the officers
will begin a rigorous enforcement of
the law.

A law limiting the number Of gro
Gerry stores, decreasing the present
number one-half to two-thirds, would
aid materially in cutting down the i'm
mense majorities piled up by old High
Living Cost at the end of every
monthly campaign, according to DR.. S.
j. Crumbine, secretary of the state
board of health. No law would fit
the case without constitutional reg
ulation, Dr. Crumbine admits, but at
that he believes something ought to
be done about the matter, and that
at once.

Topeka PLANS FOR
STATE TEACHERS
Association Meeting Expected
to Break All Past Records.
WELL KNOWN MEN TO SPEAK
Educators From the Best Schools and
Universities in the Country Will
Take Part In the Two
Days Program.

Topeka.-Kansas teachers are com
fng to Topeka 5000 strong. They will
arrive here November 5. During the
two days following they will have
charge of the city and will hold the
biggest convention in the history OF
the state association.
Plans for the convention have gone
beyond the stage of mere predictions
and the attendance Is far from being
a matter of estimation. w. D. Ross,
state superintendent of public instrlc'
ton, believes tat 5000 teachers will
attend the convention. He is sure be
cause he has received reports from
all over the state to the effect tina;
the teachers are already beginning
their preparations for the two days
visit.
The program is the most extensive
ever prepared for the convention. Spe-
cial attention has been given to secur'
ing speakers, as the convention marks
the opening of the second half cen
fury of the history of the Kansas as
ISOLATION.
Educators from the best schools and
universities in the country have been
obtained to speak and to have charge
of departmental and round table con-
ferences. Among the best known are
]. A. James of Northwestern univer'
sity; Supt. John Kennedy, Batavia, N.
Y, famous as the originator of the
Batavia SYSTEM" DR.. C. A. Smith OF
the University of Virginia, and Dean
J. e. Russell of Columbia university.
Nine other speakers of almost equal
repute have places on the program
and represent the most progressive
educational thought along all lines.
An innovation which is expected to
prove popular is the plan to have the
prominent speakers appear not only at
one general or departmental meeting,
but at two or three different times and
places in order that all in attendance
7 may have an opportunity to hear them
The Topeka Teachers Association
and the Commercial Club are complet'
ing their plans for taking care of the
delegates. Committees have been ap.
pointed by both organizations to Sc
cure a list of houses where teachers
can secure lodgings. This list will be
kept in the lobby of the state house.
and teachers registering there will be
assigned locations.
Guides furnished by the Commercial
Club will meet all trains and direct
the visitors to the various buildings
where the convention will be in prog.
ress. Information booths will be main.
tanned both on Kansas avenue and in
the state house, where all questions
will be answered and literature de.
scriptive of Topeka will be distributed.
