GOOD OLD KANSAS

When we think of Kansas we
have visions OF acre upon acre 81
tall yellow corn.
We see a flat prairie which is .
natural farm land for hundreds Of
miles.
We see a hard working and pros
porous people who are helping tc
feed the world.
We see strong men and women
who have worked together through
the terrible heat of summer and
made the most prolific farms in the
world, but we may not realize the
full significance of this splendid
achievement of labor.
Here are a few statistics about
this state whose prosperity at har-
vest time concerns US all SO closely:
Kansas women have voted on all
municipal affairs since 1887 and
have had full suffrage since 1918.
Kansas has but 2 per cent of IL
literacy.
Kansas has death rate of only
ten to one thousand.
Kansas has a prison population
of only TAO, of whom 40 per cent
were non-residents Of the state.
Kansas bank deposits have IN
creased in the last ten years from
100 million dollars to 230 million
dollars.
Kansas state tax three years ago
to less than .036 an acre,
on the average.
The bond Indebtedness of Kansas
ls less than ten cents each for every
person in the state.
Twenty-eight counties did not
have a Jail prisoner during all of
1914.
Forty-eight counties did not send
/ person to the penitentiary that
rear.
seventy-eight counties did not |

incur this new outbreak of irony
and dull-eged wit? Here Is the sit
uation: The Kansas civil service
commission has been called upon to
formulate a standard Of qualifica-
tons for stenographers who apply
for positions in the state depart
ments. And this astute commission
has stipulated that out Of one hun
'dred points to be made in the exam
ination thirty shall be based upon
personal attractiveness. In other
words, a young woman stenographer
must be at least of reasonable per-
sonal pulchritude to secure a state
job. The funny thing about this
idea is that 1t isn't so very funny,
after all.
Kansas people differ little from
the people of eastern communities.
Therefore in the offices Of Kansas
business men, as we'll as of public
officials, there is still demand for
Well-groomed, well-mannered and
well-behaved persons. There is the
same demand in New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston-but without
the same abundant opportunities
for meeting 1t in the matter of girl
stenographers. When the Kansas
commission places a 80 per cent
valuation upon womanly beauty, it
means something. On this basis I'LL
Kansas girls could qualify, of course;
but 1t places barrier against i'm

and elsewhere, who may be fairly
proficient in the essentials of stem
ography, typewriting and spelling,
but who could never hope to pass
the beauty test-in Kansas.-Kan-

THE SOUTHEAST DRIVE

The Germans seem to be getting
along well with their drive toward
Constantinople but they have con-
siderable to do yet. Taking Berlin
ss a starting point, it will be seen
that Belgrade, on the very northern
boundary Of Serbia and the first
point in hostile territory, is 700
miles distant.
From Belgrade down through
the center of Serbia to Nish is a
distance of 115 miles. Here is where
the Moslem armies Of old always
assembled preparatory to an inva-
sion Of Austria and Hungary, which
Austria and Germany must now
capture. From Nish to the Bulgar-
AN border Is an additional thirty
live miles. This makes $50 miles
through q country which, to put Il
