Cell For Editors.
President Of the G.B.E. C Issues Call
for the Third Meeting Of the News
paper Conference.

Mr.. Norton A. Turner, editor of the
Russell Record and president of the
Golden Belt Editorial Conference, has
issued a call for meeting of the Con-
ference to be held at Hays in connec-
ton with the Golden Belt Educational
Association, Saturday, March IL. The
matters for discussion viii be projected
In series of Round Table meetings.
Dean Merle Thorpe of the University
of Kansas, will conduct these Round
Tables. These discussions viii COM
prize many of the features of weekly
newspaper plants. In other Editorial
Associations of the state these Round
Table meetings have been very profit
able and many newspaper men in the
eastern part of the state have said that
with Mr.. Turner conducting them they
were worth a great deal to every news
paper man present. P. Caspar Harvey,
the secretary of the Association, has
been asked by Mr.. Turner to send out
to each member of the Association a
personal letter urging them to be pres
ent and contribute to these informal
discussions. The meetings will be held
IN room IL throughout the day Satur-
day. The usual interesting features in
behalf of the editors are being prepared
by the Normal School and will be an
nounced later.
The Golden Belt Editorial Conference
comprises the newspapers in twenty
counties in this section of Kansas. The
meetings in the past have been well at
tended and always have been enthus-
iastic. The programs have been so varied
and sometimes so long that the business
! of the association has suffered. In
fact many questions have arisen which
should have been discussed but have
been throttled by long program. II
was to discuss some of these questions
that this plan of meeting was devised
for the third meeting. Mr. Turner and
Mr.. Harvey both have asked that this
letter be sent to the editors who are
members of this association.

MoNEY WAS EASILY EARNED
ed and Paid for Knowledge
Chemist Had Acquired.

A manufacturer of some patent COM
pound cane into the laboratory of an
analytical chemist one day with q bot
tie containing an unwholesomeIooking
mixture.
I would give $780," he said, to
know what would make the water and
Gil in this mixture separate"
The chemist looked at the bottle.
Very well" he said, write out your
check
Check" the other echoed. Z
Yes, your check for 800. You say
you are willing to give that, and for
that price l am willing to tell you
what will make the water and oil sep
arate"
The visitor hesitated a moment, and
then wrote a check for the sum named.
The chemist carefully deposited 1t n
his pocketbook, and then quietly
dropped into the liquid a pinch OF
common salt.
Instantly the water and oil separ-
ated. and whether the client was sat
is1ed or not, he had got what he want
ed and he had paid his own price for
it.

FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One of the
Most Remarkable CT Natural
curiositles.

Remarkable fossil forests exist in
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able, it is believed, OF the several fos-
sill forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt, in Cali
fOrnia and in Arizona-because in the
Yellowstone most OF the trees were
entombed in their original upright 20
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
silized trunks have evidently been car
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
Of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it Is difficult at
a little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the Hchen-
covered stumps OF kindred living spe-
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore well entitled TO be
called true fossil forest
It should not be supposed. however.
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass OF
volcanic material falling on than
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.

Leeend of BeIuian Laeemakers.

Once upon time there was a girl,
a dark-eyed Venetian girl, who had q
lover-an Venetian girls had, once
upon time. She was Iacemaker, he
was q sailor; and one day when he
had just returned from the Indian seas
she showed him the lace she had been
making. Thereupon he tossed into her
Jap a wonderfully delicate piece Of
coral and told her it was lace the mer-
maids wove in their caves deep under
the sea.
And when he had gone again she set
herself to weave her bridal veil; after
the pattern of the coral she woYe.
Filmy seaweed, fiuted shells, tiny sea-
horses and starfsh grew under her
hand until at last the veil was finished
and il was time for her lover tc return.
This is a real story, so-he came back,
and they were married, she il the veil
it had pleased her fancy to make.
Whether the wedding was a quiet one
CT not, all Venice heard of the veil.
Queens and princesses sought her out
and point de Venise" became the
rage.-Vogue.

EAvORITE DISH IN MEXICO
Hot TanaIes Worth Introa1esIon sase
American kiteheEs-HoE They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamales is to cook one or two chick
ems until tender Remove all meat
from the bone, shred it in thu chop
ping machine and add to It the LIQUOR
In which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
pepper, and thickened with cornmssl.
The rolls are about the sire Of link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks Of green corn Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boil them for three hours. It is best
TO taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether II is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which VIII take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one p00d
Of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful OF seed
ed raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper TO taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful OF cornmeal- Then
stir one and one-half cupfuls of corn
meal into boiling salted water, add
one tablespoonful OF shortening and
cool to the consistency OF mush. Line
q buttered baking dish with about
tT-o-thirds Of this mixture, pour in
tie meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour.

Weepina Trees.

One Of the wonders of plant life is
the weeping tree Of the Canary
islands. It is Of the laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower of va
ter crops from its tufted foliage. This
water is often collected at the foot
Of tie tree and forms a kind of pond,
froE which the inhabitants of the
neighhorhood can supply themselves
with beverage that is absolutely
fresh and pure.
The water comes out Of the tree
itself through innumera5le little pores
situated at the margin Of the leaves.
It issues FROM the plant as vapor dur
ing the daytime, when the heat is suf-
fciertly great to preserve it in that
condition; but in the evening, when
the temperature has lowered very
much, a considerable quantity OF it is
exude5 IL the form Of liquid drops
that collect near the edges OF the
leaves until these members so bend
down that the tears tumble OF on
the ground below in 4 veritable
shower.

Words in English LANGUAGE.

The English language is constantly
growing and almost every persons
vocabulary changes from year TO year.
The first edition of Webster's diction-
airy, two Quarto volumes, published In
1928, contained 10000 words and this
number was increased by several
thousand in the second edition Of
Webster's dictionary in 1910. An edi-
ton of 1890 contained 175,000 words
and the latest edition has more than
100000. Many Of these are technical,
scientific, or for other reasons re-
stricted to limited use, but nevsFthe-
less they are words. Obviously an
educated man has q larger vocabulary,
or command of words, than an unedu-
Gated one and q professional writer or
public speaker needs more than . day
laborer. Shakespeare had q vocsbu-
larry Of about $4,000 words, but some
that he used are now obsolete, vhiis
a large number Of new ones have hees
added. Milton used about 5000 Wof9A
1t is not likely that any public sreak-
er ever uses more than q few Aog-
sand words or the average citizen Or
man on the street more than q few
hundred.

EDUCATION DAY IN woMENs' CLUBS
Suggestions for Programs

Following are four subjects suggest
ed by the General Federation of WON
ems Clubs for the consideration of Club
Women this year. 1t is thought advis-
able that Kansas women join in this
movement to the extent of giving one
program at least in the years work TO
the consideration of one or more of
these subjects. If this meets with the
approval of club officers, your State
Chairman of Education viii greatly ap-
preciate your cooperation in bringing it
to the attention Of as many of the in
dividual clubs or declarations of clubs in
the State as possible. The third sub
ject is surely of great present interest.
Kansas has an immigrant problem
worth consideration. The fifth topic is
suggested in order that many women
may have the opportunity they desire
of working in harmony with the State
Board of Health. For information re-
garding the development of this sub
ject, application may be made to the
Director of Child Hygiene, Kansas
State Board of Health, Topeka.
SUBJECTS SUGGESTED
1. The School Manse
This is suggested in the hope that,
with the proper housing of the teacher,
the school in the rural community, ike
it's prototype in the city, may attract
the highest type Of teacher and become
a civic as well as an educational center.
IT The Appaal fo Youth
This is urged with the realization that
if the fine work of Women's Clubs is to
endure, it must have constant additions
in the way of youthful and enthusiastic
workers.
III. Our Duty to Immigrant
This is offered in order that club
women may help in the solution of a
great National problem-the Ameri-
canizing of our immigrant population.
" Individual Responsibility
This is emphasized with the know
ledge that just as no chain is stronger
than its weakest link, so is the strength
of the Federation measured, not by the
organization alone, but by the temper
and spirit of the individual women.who
make up the organization.
Suggestions for the development Of
these subjects may be obtained by ad-
dressing the Bureau of Information,
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
Portsmouth, n. J., or from State Chair
man of Education, s29 Lane St., Fope-
ka, Kansas,
V. The Health and MORALS of School
Children
Morals and health are interdependent.
Both are social problems. Whatever
affects adversely the health or morals
of one child in school affects them all to
a greater or less degree, Only by work
ing to improve the health and morals
of all children with whom her children
must associate can the modern mother
adequately protect her own. Apply to
the Division of Child Hygiene, State
Board of Health, Topeka, Kansas. en-

VI. What is the greatest educational
need of your community? OF
Kansas?
