soon to marry again and go west with
her husband. There were a dozen
candidates for the position she would
resign. and certain business men had
said to Miss Blair:
You are old enough and smart
enough to fill the position. Go for it.
We will back you"
Most of the candidates were con-
tent to forward their petitions by mail,
and sent her on to Washington to
plead her own case. She went direct
to the president and asked for the ap-
pointment.

their cases." he replied, land they

Do Not Need a Guardian.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Pape do not
need a guardian. At least this was
the judgment of the probate court this
morning, and an application made by
a daughter that both be adjudged fee
ble-minded, was dismissed. There is
a small amount of property involved,
q little farm north of Topeka and some
personal property, and the daughter,
Mrs. Bush, decided they were not
mentally qualified to take care of it.
So she brought the action. Other chill
dren and neighbors of the couple, both
of whom are getting well along in
years, came into court to protest
against the action. Judge Hugh Nc
Farland heard some of the evidence
and decided no guardian was needed.
So the case is dismissed

Another college professor, this time
q member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, comes to the
front with the rather unusual sugges-
ton that the longevity of the Egyp-
tian mobiles of ancient days might pos
sibly be attributed to the fact that
it was the custom of their numerous
wives to ii lie their feet, and, in adj
dition, that each of them drank on
an average of 100 jars of beer a
day. This is the first intimation ever
given that the tickling of a mans feet
encoura ges and increases his thirst
However, there are not so many men
in these days who are in need of arti-
fetal thirst producers.
