Much work for Council.
During the last triennial term the
executive council has had many fine
points of law and procedure to weigh
and determine, due, chiefly, to the agi-
tatiOn growing out of the adoption Of
new rates by the adjourned session Of
the last head camp and the unwilling
ness of a portion of the membership
to accept and pay said rates. In this,
it's experience has Had been in COM

similar disturbances. Its position, how
ever. was made more difficult because
OF the tremendous size OF the ord er
and the large number of lives affected
by the adoption of any new legislation.

He has addressed circular to the
men Of Kansas asking them to discard
their blue and black summer clothing
for white. He wears white during the

would discard ice water as menace
to health.
"Women have learned the value Of
white dresses in the summer time,"
said DR.. Crumbine, Il can't understand
why the men haven't learned the les
son long ago. Anything that resists
heat In the summer makes for health.
Black, blue or any other dark cloth Is
a heat absorbent and injurious.
"Our summer temperatures are as
high and sometimes higher, than In the

is all that saves US. White clothes In
the tropics are not within Of fashion.
They are a tribute to necessity and
