GERS Are Failures.

Emporia Kan, May 6.-Appoint-
ment of vocational supervisors In each
community to care for the 3SS,0OO
school children of Kansas during
their leisure days this summer and
thus win them from pitfalls that come
through association with undesirable
children of their respective neighbor-
hoods, was urged by Mrs j. r. Cod
ding of Leavenworth in an address at
the convention of the Kansas State
Federation of Women's Clubs here to-
day.
Mrs. Codding. who is in charge of
the state department of welfare and
industry, urged the club women to
take n keener interest, also in the
naming of Juvenile judges and court Of
ficials in cities and said every juve-
nile court should have woman

LAS citizens and homemakers," said
Mrs -Codding, the average club MEM
Der mother makes a wholesome home
for children. Around her own yard
and hearthstone we may assume that
moral and physical conditions are Civ
en- proper cure and contain no ob-
Jectionable conditions. But when our
child goes to the next corner or wan
ders a block away, what are the moral
and material conditions which 1t
finds? For the child, the community
environments are as potent as the
home influence"
Mrs Codding charged the women
delegates to go home and study their
from the standpoint of children.
I'VE can only cure crime as we cure
physical disease, by the law of pre-
vention," Mrs. Codding said. courts,
police and prison officers can only
now and then cure the individual
crime.
Up to the Public.
Its up TO communities to cure the
disease and the best is in the proper
supervision of children. The trained
supervisor finds in so many ways the
opportunity of Installing into child
life cardinal points of virtue. The
winning of the child is the winning of
the nation from crime"
An appeal for a $30,000,000 appro-
priatiOn by congress as an impetus for
a nationwide period of road making
was made to the convention this morn
ing by Mrs. Noble PrentiS of Topeka,
past president of the organization.
Mrs. PrentiS declared the lawmakinG
body at Washington was paying too
much attention to rivers and too little
to roads.
Mrs Prentis also urged the dele
gates to familiarize themselves with
the new laws passed by the last Kan
sas legislature.
Women are the new factors in the
political life Of Kansas and they
should know just what it costs to run
their state, their city and their coun-
try said Mrs. Prentis. She closed her
address with an appeal for appro-
priation from the next legislature for
the upkeep of the "Dooryard of Kan
sas"-the Capitol grounds at Topeka.

Miss Jane Adams, of Chica go, ad-

again become mere soldier producers

break down the relationship of the

unit of civilization. This relationship
and the responsibility of paternity
were aims for which women had

Delegates expressed themselves to-

hungry, traded his scout badge for

scout commissioner, saw small boy
wearing a scout badge the following
day, and upon inquiry learned the
story of the trade. Trading off a scout
badge is considered sufficient offense
to make it seem wise to discharge
boy from the scout organization, but
on account of the peculiar circum-
stances in this instance the boy who
negotiated the trade may be reinstated
in good grace.
The delegates to the Sunday school
have appreciated the brief
pipe organ recitals that have been

Whiskers and Observation-Disclosures

Whiskers and Observation-Disclosures
London papers publish pages every
week Of British officers who were
killed. One such page contained the
portraits of 20 fine looking men, of
whom 10 wore a mustache. None had
a full beard.
A similar group Of American army
officers would show more than half
devoid Of any such facial adornment.
The foreign styles are now very hot
for the mustache.
Alexander, Caesar. Napoleon, Fred
erick the Great, Washington and Won
Moltke were entirely beardless. But
during our Civil war the fashion was
for a face covered with whiskers.
Grant, Sherman, Meade, Thomas, Lee,
Jackson and Longstreet, only to men
ton a few, had full boards.
It will also be seen by an inspection
of wartime groups Of generals with
their staffs that very nearly every Of
ficer had a beard. Hancock and
Sheridan wore mustaches with i'm
perials," while BLACK Jack" Logan and
Custer had only long mustaches. That
