DROPPING THE HYPHEN.

(From a private letter from
Edmund J. James, president of
the University of Iillinois.)
l have been especially pleased
in the midst of all these evil
dences of world hysteria, which
| think must have a connection
with the sun spots or some
other subtle cosmic influence, to
see how steadily year after
year, and how persistently the
various racial, national and re-
ligious elements of our society,
in no state more numerous than
in Illinois, are gradually coalesc-
ing into one great commonwealth
with definite aspirations and
systematic and definite plan Of
action.

STYLE TENDENCIES FOR SPRING
If for no other reason than the most
potent one fashion offers-desire for
change-spring styles would Of neces-
sity introduce radical tendencies for
1915. On some of these the style au-
thorities have agreed, not, however,
without a mind open for sudden sur
prises such as have been coming fire.
ouently in the past few months. Full
skirts are decided on. The circular or
flare types will lead in the materials
suited for them. From two and one
half yards to five, and in extreme
cases seven yards. Is the range for foot
measurement. Suitings such as Pana-
mas. Cabardines and Covert cloths
hang well in the circular pattern, but
not so well the thin summer fabrics.
For these therefore. pleated skirts will
undoubtedly find favor. A waist line
somewhat above normal will find
favor. For street attire the dominating
tendency seems to be decided return
TO the simple, smart, two-piece suits
with mannish tailoring. There will be
no sembIance to uniform" for
women, but clearly reversion from
the many queer effects which have
! doomed up IN kaleidoscope succesSlon

in Oklahoma Flood.
The High Waters Over Kansas
Are SubSiding.

Wichita, June 5.-F1ood waters in
homa are receding today. Only light
rains fell during the night. John
Bupp. wife and two young children,
were drowned in creek that over
flowed five miles north of Gage,
Okla, Friday afternoon. Trees were
uprooted at Kingman, Kan, by Sc
we're windstorm. Fruit was damaged
and the central part of the town was
overlooked. Five inches of water fell
during a cloudburst at Peck, Kan.
Some damage was done to fruits and
growing crops at Cheney, Kan, by
high wind and heavy rain. Today is
clear and warmer.
Only Small Streams Up.
Kansas City, June 5.-While the
smaller streams in northern central
Kansas were rising steadily today be-
cause of heavy rains yesterday fears
of another serious flood had abated.
In southern Kansas and northern
Oklahoma the streams were receding,
only light rains falling during the
night. In northern Kansas the sit
uation was most serious at Beloit,
where the Solomon river was re-
ported six feet above flood stage this
morning. According to the local U.
S. weather observer the danger is 10
cal and will not cause a material rise
in the Kansas river. The property
