devising novelties in mourning STYLES.
Shop windows display practically
nothing else and mind you 1T is the
veritable widow as well as the lm1ta-
ton ones who insist on the most ultra
effects. Mourning jewelry, rings
brooches, blacelets, earrings, neck
laces and even wrist watches are law
ishly displayed. The full short skirts
of the moment are developed In dun
black silk and banded widely with
crinkly crepe unmindful of the lncon-
gruity of a widows veil that sweeps
down to the abbreviated skirt length.
The extreme shortness of the skirts
on the ordinary individual is enough
to make you gasp at first but after
you glimpse widow in a ballet effect
nothing further can disconcert you.
Even the children cannot escape
the pail and little boys are subdued
in black suits and black crepe bound
hats while little girls preen themselves
pathetfcally in crepe trimmed ebon
frocks and bead trimmed crepe hats
of black and white. 1 have even seen
black cloaks and bonnets on mere IN
fantS.
Goodness knows if it is any comfort
to the poor souls who have lost so
many in these dire days of war. 1
for one would be the last person in
the world to begrudge them the mea-
phase of it is, of course, the adap-
tation of the widows garb illegiti-
mately. And it is just as well to re-
member, even If you are an expert at
telling the real from the phony, that
right now in Paris there's a heap or
truth in the adage "a little widow is

hibited. On this committee were men

from Japan, China and Argentina
The Kansas exhibit at the big fair,
says Dean Jardine, is both artistic and
representative, and is one of the best
displays there. An effective color
scheme has been worked out by the
use of sorghums and sunflowers.
The college exhibit is in the educa
tional hall, where it is conceded to
rank among the very highest. Its
educative character has been particu-
larly commended.

ranged by the graduates themselves
All the seats in the parquet and bal
cony were filled and people were

was the fact that regular COM
mencement speech was made. The
program, with the exception of the in
vocation and short announcement
speech by superintendent H. w. Will
son, was entirely in the hands of the
students. The graduates showed ex-
cel1ent taste in the selection of the
numbers and the program was short
and well arranged.
After number by the high school
orchestra the graduates filed in be-
tween lines of sub-senior girls and
took their places on the stage while
Miss Mildred Haze1rigg played the
professional march. Rev. Willard F.
TroxelI was introduced by Superin-
tendent Wilson and delivered the in
vocation. A whistling solo by Miss
Florence Fair brought an encore and
a song by the boys quartet and a
reading by Miss Esther Freeman were
well received. Miss Freeman is an ac-
complished elocutionist.
The high school chorus showed ex-
cellent training and their number was
highly appreciated. Miss Aura Brad
ford is director. Sol Gilbert delivered
an Grafton on 1.-THE Mission of the

DEMAND SCHOOL CHANGES.
Hays Normal Shows Evidence of Diff
ferent Educational Ideas.

Hays, Kan, June 5.-The mar
velous prosperity of Western Kansas
the last two years through it's wheat
and alfalfa has changed the standard
of education in this half of Kansas.
Western Kansas boys and girls are
demanding more college work. 1t is
only within the last two years that
this desire has been general. Within
that time the personnel of the student
body of the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
has changed from students most of
whom cared only for county certifi-
Gates to the character of the student
body at the summer school now, who
for the most part, want to go on with
college education and get their de-
gree. These students want 20 fulfill
the spirit of the new law passed by
the last legislature.
AS evidence of this situation in
Western Kansas Registrar A F.
Bieker has announced that eighteen
courses in the secondary department
of the Fort Hays Kansas Normal had
been dropped from the program of
the summer school because there was
no demand for them. He said also
that seventeen new courses in the col
been organized in addition to the col
lege work offered on the printed pro-
gram.
This unanticipated demand by stu
dents of college rank for work in the
Fort Hays Normal has worked
hardship on eleven of the faculty.
One of these college classes had no
available recitation room. The in
structor set up green burlap screen
at the end of hall on the second
floor of the Industrial building, bor-
rowed some chairs from another in
structor and conducts the class. One
laboratory section in domestic art uses
an alcove adjoining the regular
laboratory because another section
filled it. -
Western Kansas is using its only
state school as never before.
