Then again he didn't ride natural.
He looked as thought he'd taken II

Miss Millicent. Sat straight enough,

"Acute appendicitis calls for immedi

there was no medical treatment for
acute appendicitis and that the mortal
fly following operation was always due
to delay, the surgeon being called In

The percentage of mortality in op-
erations for acute appendicitis under
taken in the early stages of the infiam-

WESTERN COLLEGES.

II has been ascertained that the
regular annual expenses of the aver
age student at the Kansas colleges
are $500. As it is impossible for
an average boy to attend any of the
eastern colleges-even the cheapest
Of them-for less than $500 a year,
it IS the suggestion OF a New York
editor that eastern fathers of linn
tied means who dislike to deny to
their sons the advantage of a col
lege training. send them to a west
ern college instead of to Yale, Har-
ward or Princeton.
They might do worse, even with
out the economic motive. The col
leges of Kansas, for instance, are
not famous. but there are several of
them where a spirit of work and of
material scholastic help prevails
that is rather rare ~ the great east

versity of Kansas. or Washburn col
lege. or Baker college, is likely to
be surprised at the old-fashioned
spirit OF doing everything Altogether,
under a joyous initiative that he finds
There is sort of apostolic zeal about
the business of getting an education in
one of these places. The visitor is i'm
pressed by the fact that it is all very
like the spirit that must have prevailed
at Yale or Harvard in the rude, strug-
Cling old days. when the giants of
New England were putting their young
heads together with such mighty re-
suits. In the west what the boys can
not find a professor to teach them,
they teach themselves.
In this spirit there is more intel
lectual boost than there is in mil
lion dollar laboratories or in required
courses OF reading perfunctorily work
ed up in paIatial libraries.

GARDEN CLUBS IN ORDER.

Right now, It has been suggested. is
the time to start garden clubs to make
use this summer of waste spots and
idle weeded lots for the beautifying OF
the community and reduction Of the
high cost OF living. The spring will be
too late for the necessary organization
work preceding the cultivation of
vegetables and geraniums in place Of
tin cans. The preparation period now
should be accepted II there are to be
no regrets later on when summer
comes and vacant lot gardens will be
so much appreciated.
There are plenty OF cities and towns
in the country, with their good inten-
tions and even their enthusiasm for
back lot and vacant 10. cultivation
and their dreams OF productive gar
den plots and flower beds, which come
up each year in the regret list for just
this failure to get ready in the late
winter for the spring campaign. In
itial steps put or until planting time
will defeat the hopes of any garden
club. Such community movements
should be set on foot now to achieve
satisfactory results.
The city of Seattle, Wash, has set
the pace by losing no time in getting
into the harness and starting garden
clubs for school children. clubs which
will extend their work beyond the
school yards and cultivate and beau
tify vacant lots. lawns and park strips.
The promotion of the plan has fallen
as usual to the women, and the moth
ers' congress has charge of the move
ment while Seattle realty men have
offered their service in obtaining
vacant lots throughout the city for the
work. Competent teachers are provid-
ed. and. which is absolutely essential
and proves the necessity for early
organization work, full instruction is
being given before the time arrives
for the actual work.

BLAMING NATIONAL GUARD.

The matter OF the national guard
came up last week IN the miners con-
Yention at Peoria. II was resolved and
made a matter OF record that the min
srs are TO do all they can against the
national guard in an effort TO defeat
IT'S purpose" The reason assigned for
this stand is that 'in every Industrial
struggle the national guard has been
found lined up against union labor"
The reported vote in that resolution
Is that 200 supported It and 10 dele
gates opposed. Just now we are in
terested IN the 10 men who had the
nerve 20 be recorded in opposition. OF
course they were badly outvoted; and
yet many miners on the other side In
the Peoria convention may live TO
change their minds and conclude that
the 10 perhaps were not so far wrong
First as TO the proposition that the
national guard Is always lined up
against union labor" There Is a chance
that this IS a hurried and mistaken
view OF the situation. The national
guard does not take sides in a contro-
yersy pending: # gets on the ground
solely for the purpose OF keeping order
and 20 prevent the destruction OF prop
erty.
Now would not this very thing be
done II there were no national guard

ate 20 the point where we are ready 10

Capital Comment.
BY CLYDE n. TAVENNER
Congressman from tho Fourteenth Cistrics

however, had anticipated this move
and had notified women employees In
certain establishments that they might
expect this action. They assured the
working women that this state of mind
on the part of their employers would
be only temporary. From past expert
ence in California and Washington It
was realized that the women dis
charged would be soon hired back
again. And as this is being written
that very thing Is happening The
few women who lost their jobs are
getting them back again.
AS a matter of fact, the short work
ing day means more employment for
women instead of less. Employers
now divide their working forces into
two shifts-one to begin earlier in the
morning and to quit earlier at night,
the other to begin and quit later. 1t
takes more. employees TO work into the
two-shift plan, but the employer finds
out that each employee is more efficient
than formerly due to the shorter
working hours. so that his establish
ment turns out more work per en-
ploye hired than under the old plan.
The city of Washington surely need
ed this law. An investigation made
before the adoption of the bill showed
women working in steam laundries in
the hot weather on an average of II to
IS hours a day for periods of two and
three months. The new law applies to
practically all women industrially en-
ployed except those in private offices
and domestic servants in private
homes. Hotel servants are included
in the provisions of the act. and also
that other class of women employees so
frequently exempted in States laws,
department store clerks. The law
prescribes a six-day week for women.
and prohibits night work for minors.
The best employers of Washington did
not oppose the legislation.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER, is

st. Louis, Mo, March 3.-Wesley
(Red) Simon, on trial here for the
murder of Emmett Carroll in a gang
feud nearly year ago. was shot and
killed yesterday during a recess or
the court before which he was being
tried. Simon was shot while in a sa-

The sheriff had feared an attack on
Simon and when court met special
officers were on hand to prevent dis

lunch Simon went to a saloon. Four
officers waited on a street corner for
his return.

are having hard enough time cutting
the hours OF women's labor to 10 hours
a day. =
The LaFollette law, which the presi-
dent has just signed, forbids the en-
ployment in the District of Columbia
OF women for longer than eight hours
in any one day. 1t is a measure which
is calculated TO jar the conservatism
of the east, and which, its hackers
hope. will stimulate similar legisla-
ton in all OF the eastern states.
No sooner had the law been signed
than certain employers who had
fought the legislation began to dis
charge women in their employ. They
did this TO make good their predictions
that the law would have just that eff

had advocated the LaFollette bill,
