Real war conditions sometimes give
rude shocks TO the professional soldier
trained TO arms In the wellordered
of peace. Here Is n case In point.
a Prusslan Landwehr company was
being mustered into service and there
many things to be done. Uni.
forms, equipment. rifles, were TO be
distributed, rolls prepared, reports
made out, and quartermaster's lists
checked up. The captain had his hands
full. He ordered his first sergeant
to find a noncom. who could write
neatly and figure n little. The first
sergeant was equal to the emergency.
Corporal Kammermeyer was prompt.
ly summoned the crisply detailed for
duty as company clerk. The corporal
reported to the captain. who looked
him over with n mixture OF wonder
and distrust.

said.
"A little. sir. at your service"
The captain still looked dubious.
What IL your trade In civil life,
anyway" he said.
Il am professor Of mathematics,
captain" was the reply.

Carrie II. Simpson of Paola is one of the
superintendent assistants, on whom much
of the responsibility for the conduct of the
bureau falls. Miss Simpson, who, by the way,
is a daughter of Captain Ben Simpson, for
many years one of the states most prominent
and useful men, is intensely interested in her
work, and she is an earnest believer in the
worth of moving picture censorship to the
public. Il can see great improvement in the
tone of the films that are submitted to us for
our approval as the producers have learned
the policy of the Kansas censors," said
Miss Simpson recently. mot that so many
films have been rejected, but because it has
been the policy to cut out Objectionable
scenes In fact only two or three films
have been rejected entirely. Many have
been cut though, and the producers are
learning that films must be clean to get
by the authorities in Kansas 1t might be
expected that we would get great many
complaints from people who are dissatis-
fed with some of the films we have passed.
but the facts are that the only complaints
we have received have come from people
who have not seen the pictures, their criti-
cism being based on titles, over which the
censors have no control under the law"

SECTION

they receive, it must be admitted that very
little has been accomplished in the way OF
practical results. And while the question
of wages and hours is essentially busi-
ness question, to be met fairly in a differ
ent way in each industry, the fact remains
that it is a question in which the woman
hood of the country is vitality interested,
and one that cannot be solved without ref
erence to the woman's viewpoint. Kansas
has created an Industrial Welfare Commits
sion, consisting of three members, charged
with the responsibility of investigating the
conditions under which women and chill
dren are employed in the industries of the
state, and to make such regulations as to
wages and hours as may be deemed to be
in the public interest. 1t is particularly
fitting that a woman, Mrs. GenevIeve
Chalkley of Lawrence, has been selected to
serve as a member of this Commission.
Mrs Chalkley did not seek the place, in
deed she was probably considerably sur
prised when notified that she had been
chosen But she has undertaken her work
in a modest, common sense way that is
pleasing to those who urged her appoint
ment. Mrs. Chalkley is not public woman,
although keenly interested in public affairs.
With the rest of her sex, she found her
opportunity for public service rather re-
stricted prior to the passage of the equal
suffrage amendment, but she has been ac
tive in the avenues of service open to
women for several years. In club circles
she is favorably known to women in every
section of the state. Her friends believe
that it will be but short time until she
will be as favorably known among the
women wage workers of Kansas.
The Legislature had to make two tries at it
before a moving picture censorship law that
would stick was enacted But Kansas has
such law now, and movie" fans of discrim-
mating taste are authority for the statement

OF the states business as the years
go by. Even now, with equal suf-
frage in Kansas so new a thing that
the women have hardly had time to get
their political bearings, they are being
called to many places of official responsible
ity, some of them to places that hitherto
have been considered the Prerequisites" of
men only. Governor Capper recently APP
pointed a woman, we'll and widely known
among the women of the state, as mem
Der of the State Board of Corrections This
Board is charged with the management of
the state penal and correctional institutions,
the penitentiary at Lansing, the reforma-
tory at Hutchinson, the Industrial School
for Boys at Topeka and the Industrial
School for Girls at Beloit She will be the
first of her sex to serve in such a capacity in
Kansas and her work will be watched with
deep interest. Mrs. J. M. Miller of Council
Grove, wife of a former member of the
lower house OF Congress from the Fourth
District, was Governor Capper's appointee.
Although her husband has been a public
man for many years, Mrs. Miller has not
been much in the public eye. But she has
been deeply concerned with public ques-
tons, as is evidenced by her interest and
activity in club work She is now presi-
dent of the State Federation of Women's
Clubs, and her elevation to this position is
testimonial not only to her popularity,
but to her practical service in the work in
which the thoughtful and public spirited
women of the state are engaged Of course
men will be inclined generally to view her
appointment as more or less of an expert
ment. That is the attitude of men toward
woman, whenever she is placed in new
sphere. But Mrs. Miller brings to her new
work qualities which should make her sue
cessful The presence of woman on the
Board of Corrections should be particularly
beneficial in the management of the Indus
trial School for Girls, and the people of the
state will expect Mrs. Miller to give the
Board a new insight to the needs and func-
tons of that institution.
