KANSAS MAN WOULD
PROHIBIT COSMETICS
Other Odd Bills In L0gisIa-
lures of Various States.

Washingtos.-Many odd bills have
been passed recently or are pending in
Legislatures of various states Of this
country.
| Representative McGinnis of Greeley
county, Kan, introduced pure COM
plexion bill" prohibiting the use of
cosmetics of nearly every kind, besides
face powder. rouge. perfume, false
hair, hair dyes or bleaching materials
for the purpose of deceiving, advertis-
ing or creating false impression"
1t also prohibits piercing ears for rings
and forbids the wearing Of earrings.
The act applies only to women under
forty five years and provides punish
ment of $25 fine for each offense.
The queerest of all the odd bills In
troduced in the present Colorado leg
stature comes from Senator William
Adams, Democratic leader. This pro-
vides that chickens shall 60 to roost
between the hours of G and 7 o'clock
o. m. and provides penalties for viola
ton of the curfew. Another senate
measure declares jackrabbits eligible

Paris.-The problem of repopulation
of France Is receiving the atten-
ton of the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at a meeting Of the academy showing
that the number of births annually in
the country in the last twenty years
fell from $4,000 to 10000.
1t Is estimated If proportionate de-
crease should continue for another
twenty years the future military class
es would be 10000 less than the classes
of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
1t was suggested that important ad-
vantages should be accorded fathers
of families having numerous children,
and that the idea be generalized that
the normal family comprises three chill
dren.
It was suggested that the heads Of
such families be allowed to share in a
proposed recompense.

dresses, and the war department be-
came slightly lrritated. Nevertheless.
the list was furnished.
AS Washington looks at 1t, Mr.. Gard
ner has mapped out pretty big task
for himself. Inquiries by friends re-
Gently drew from him the smiling in
formation that he had been so busy on
the shipping and immigration bills that
he hadn't time to think much about
the dinner. but that he intended to go
through with it.
There is one feature, however, that
is causing Mr.. Gardeners friends con-
siderable merriment, the matter of
transportation. The list shows that
there will be one fare to be paid from
Porto Rico. two from San Francisco,
another from Pike county, Pa; ten
from New York and Brooklyn and
others from indianapolis and West
Philadelphia. But Mr.. Gardner is rich
enough to humor his whim.
He has a peculiar twinkle in his eyes
ut all times, and he gives the impress
sion of being constantly on the point
Of strangling good joke lest his con-
gressional dignity be lowered by the
telling. OF late when anybody men
lions the reserve army dinner his eyes
sparkle more than ever, and Washing
ton is about equally divided in opinion
rs to whether the dinner will ever
come off.
At first there was q general impress
sion that Mr.. Gardner in some subtle
way was trying to kid" the war de-
partment and that the war department
resented the attempt. If this was
true the department has had sudden
change of heart, for inquiries concern
ing the reserve army, its origin. num-
Der. location, etc, have been answered
with the greatest good will.
Recently it has developed that the
reserve army once consisted of seven
teen men. but last year a reservist
was dropped at his own request to en-
able him to join the. navy.
Authority for the creation of re-
serve army was given in the 1912
army appropriation act, and the pro
vision became effective Nov. |, 1912.
From that time on the war depart
ment raised Its enlistment periods
from four years to seven, and 1t was
provided in each enlistment contract
that the soldier serve four years with
the colors and the remaining three
years on reserve. subject to call in
event of war.
This is the invitation that Mr.. Gard
ner sent to each member of the re-
serve army:
my Dear Sir-I am contemplating
Inviting the members of the reserve
army OF the United States to be my
guests at a dinner in Washington. and
so to have the pleasure of meeting
each one in person. and write to ask
whether 1t is likely that you could be
present
"If your engagements are such as
to make It impossible for you to be
in washington at that time l would
appreciate it If you would send me
short sketch Of yourself and your
service in the army. together with a
photograph.
II hope. however. that you will be
able to be present and that the dinner
may be made an informal little re-
union of the reserve army"
