MISS HIL[YER'S WORK
Former Topeka Girl ''Nfaking Good
ON Boston Newspaper.

Miss Annie Laurie Hillyer, a we'll
known Topeka young woman, who
began newspaper work in this city as
a member of the staff of the Topeka
State Journal, and who secured last
simmer a position with the Boston
Traveller, seems to be making re-
markable progress in her new field.
. She is now a special story writer
for the Traveller. Each day there
appears in a prominent part of that
paper, a snappy, well written article
two or more columns long, under the
pen name of Laurie Hillyer.
One of the best artists on the staff
has been especially assigned to make
large and appropriate group draw
ing for each story. and a small por-
trait of Miss Hillyer appears at the
head of each article.
TIE subjects discussed embrace all
the topics of the day that would or
could interest wOmankind, and as
looked at from a wOman's viewpoint.
Prominent actors, authors and other
professional and public persons are
interviewed. Their aims and ambi-
tons as unfolded to the reporter are
clearly given to the public, and their
personality and peculiar traits are
portrayed in manner graphic, witty
and entertaining.
The experience of young women
just entering college athletics. of
young hous- lives learning to cook,
and their advice to those who come
after, the importers and merchants
opinions as to the influence of the
European war upon articles of femi-
nine apparel the lady reporters i'm
pressions of public functions, ETC., all
are discussed in a manner that not
only satisfies Miss Hillyer's employers
and causes them to advertise her writ
ings as special feature of this pa
per, but is bringing her much favor
able comment by the press of the
eastern states.

An infant of months is in Christ

have been at the Mckinney house
which has been used both as resi-

obtained by solicitation not only in

ROCK ISLANDS SIDE.
Officials Explain Details of Topeka
Mexican Case.

The report that has been circulat-
ing around Topeka for two or three
days that the Rock Island railway had
section hands back to their old coun-
try is untrue and not based on fact,
according to several prominent Off
Gals of the system.
On the Provident association call
ing list is a Mexican family in North
Topeka, four men, two women, hve
children. According to Mrs. E. ]. Cal
lahan, assistant secretary of the asso-
the four men was stopped two weeks
before they had completed six
months service. The Mexicans told
her that if they had been allowed to
labor two weeks longer they would
have been furnished free transporter
ton back to Mexico, where the rail-
road obtained them.
Now from actual statistics. nearly
every Mexican section hand employed
in this state by the Rock Island is a
Kansas Mexican. All of them have
been in the state for a year or more
Their homes are here. During the
summer. work is plentiful for the Lat
ms, but in winter they are Laid or
because it is an imposSibility to en-
ploy as large number of men in win
ter as in the hot months. But the Rock
Island. or any other Kansas read for
that fact, has never turned down a Sec
ticn hand in his application for trans
IortatiOn home.
But we have never had any apph-
cation this year by Mexicans yearniug
for their home country" c. w. ROurke,
assistant general manager of the Rock
Island said today. Il doubt if there is
