OUR FASHION LETTER
ALL WILL Be white
Lack of Dyes Means a Real
Cheerful Summer.
Only Way to Get Green Is to
Turn to Envy.
BY MARGARET MASON.


(Written for the State JournaI.)
Small boys all know that tanning
Makes persons quite some smart;
And that's a fact that summer girls
Will have to take to heart,
Because all dyes grow Scarcer
Since first the war began
And for those dying to be smart
There's nothing left but tan.
New York, Feb. 5.-POsitively the
fects this coming spring and summer
is to turn green with envy, have a
yellow streak, fit of blues or red
yourself up to be the pink of neatness
They do say that all is fair in love and
war but it's been mighty hard for
some of US to be fair with the recent
embargo on peroxide. Fortunately
that has just been lifted and hearts
and heads are once more light.
The outlook for other dyestuffs,
however. is very dark. The weather
man has often predicted a white win
ter for us but now the fashion man
promises us a white summer-white
with a large dash of tan by way of
variety.
By way of getting the greatest
amount of variety out of tan you can
call it biege, ecru, string biscuit, sand
and putty, as its intensity of tanness
Wanes or wakes.
charming tan summer materials in
natural pongee, shantung and rajah
silks, to say nothing of natural linens,
that to be thus limited for our spring
and summer outfits threatens no real
tribulation.
Cotton voiles of rich biege color
striped in the same toned cotton vel
vet are most effective and the biege
black striped are stunning additions
to the new tan toned fa brics Faille
is lovely in these neutral shadings, too,
and spring suits of ecru accrue much
credit to the wearer as do the little
turbans of biscuit colored straw and
taffeta and the high shoes with putty
colored tops.

in a sand storm of sand coIored suits.
hats and accessories last spring, but
this years bisque hued crop promises
less violence and more quiet effective
ness.
As befitting a neutral nation that

And so the gray or tan mark will
be added to the aggregate mass OF
black marks against the war by the
woman of fashion. But between yol

IT SHRANK OVERNIGHT
Why Dibble Thought He Did Not Get
Ton of Hay.

Following argument of Tinkham
Veale. a local attorney, that ton of
hay will shrink to half size over night.
H. E. Taylor and Frank Langdon were
acquitted of a charge of attempting to
collect $10.50 from the Dibble Grocery
company for a ton of hay which, it
was alleged, they had not delivered.
The case was heard in the court of
Topeka before Judge Hugh Fisher.
In the case the state alleged thai
Taylor contracted with the company
to deliver the hay and later Langdon,
an employee of the Dibbles. told his
employers that the load was in the
barn. A few days later the Dibble
company's representatives appeared in
the county attorneys office and asked
for a warrant. Judge Fisher ruled
this morning that the evidence in the
case was not sufficient to find the
defendants guilty. The defendants
claimed that the hay was delivered.
Veale, their attorney, argued that it
was placed in a big barn with other
hay and shrank over night.

Closer Cooperation.
Possibly the greatest community
need is closer cooperation between
the people of the town and those IN
the country.
when the farmers of a community
are invited TO Join the town CONNER
cial club and town people are invited
to participate in the activities or the
rural organization, the best of feeling
prevails and everybody profits by the
get together idea.
LAS a result of a commercial CLUB
boosting campaign, some people move
into the community--likely farmers
from other states. The duty of the
commercial club or the farmers or
ganization to the newcomer is plain
but often it is neglected. The farmer
from Maine or Wisconsin, for instance,
who undertakes to farm in southwest
Kansas or the Panhandle of Texas the
same as he did at home, will fail. and
/ If he fails, he will move away, and
give the community black eye. 1t is
good business to sell the newcomer
/ farm and take his money. and it is
equally good business to foster him.
and help him get started in the right
direction. The newcomer soon be-
comes an asset or a liability to the
community. 1t is the duty of those
who are organized to build up the
country to make him an asset.
The Helpful Santa lie.
THE Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe
Railway company offers co-opera ton
in the upbuilding of the towns and ru-
raj districts in its territory. The serv-
ice of its Industrial department to as
sist towns in their efforts to secure
new Industries is given for the ask
ing; also the service of its colonial
ton department which directs through
extensive advertising the attention Of
homeseekers and other desirable in
VeStorS to Santa Fe territory; of its
agricultural department to carry on
experiments the year around, giving
farmers the results obtained; of its en-
gineering department to pass upon
plans for public work, especially bridge

, ing to do with drainage. when request

F railway company prospers only when

way and its patrons are mutual.
, THE mission of the commercial
club, therefore, is to make the get to-

bring it into harmony with every other

R RAILROADS
INCREASE OF S1.14
Enginemen Are Now Better
Paid Than 10 Years Ago.
Their Wage Ranges as High as
1857 a Day.

In ten years enginemen on railroads
in the United States have received an
increase of $1.14 in their average
daily compensation, according to fig
ures compiled by railways of the
country. The increase was made by
slow but steady advances, the largest
being "a cents. in 1911.
While the increase in daily COM
pensation for the whole country has
been $1.14, it has varied slightly in
the three districts into which railways
of the United States are divided. Dur
ing the ten year period, the increase
in the average daily compensation of
enginemen employed by railways in
the western district has been $1.O1,
while the increase in the southern dis
trict has been s1.44. The increase in
the eastern district was the same as
that for the whole country.
The average daily compensation of
enginemen in the United States in
1914 was 1924. The average pay ten
years before was $40. In 1914 only
enginemen employed on roads in the
southern district were receiving a
higher average daily pay than the
average for the country. Prior to
1914, however. both the southern and
western roads were offering engine
men a higher average daily compensa-
ton than the average for the United
states At no time during the last
ten years, however, have enginemen
district received an average daily pay
az high as the average for the whole
country.
In 1914, enginemen in the eastern
district of the country were receiving
an average daily compensation of
$5.11. as opposed to S5.67 for engine
men in the southern district and $5.c3
in the western division. In 1904. the
average daily compensations were:
Eastern district. 1897; southern,
S423: western, S4-22.
In the ten year period the average
daily compensations in the western
district have been: 1904, $4.22; 1905,
$426; 1906, s423; 1907, s4.35; 1908.
$4.59: 1909. s4.61: 1910, s4.7o; 1911,
$3.50; 1912. $5.15; 1913, $5.25; 1914,
s5.23.
| Compensations in the southern dis
trict were: 1904, s4.2S; 1905, s4-27;
1906, s4.33; 1907, s4.57: 1908, s4.52;

TO keep HIM OUT
Protest Against Reinstatement
of Wilcox Is Filed.
1t Is Charged That He Is in
Open Contempt.

Protests against the reinstatement of
E. c. Wilcox of Anthony, to the prac-
tice of law, were filed with the su-
preme court today by Robert P. Nc
that WILCOX has been practicing law in
contempt of court since his disbarment
in 1913
Recently the Anthony man filed a
petition with the supreme court ask
ing that he be reinstated to the prac-
tice of law in the state courts It was
recited that since his disbarment he
had faithfully observed the orders of
The court.
In the protest today McColloch de-
MES that Wilcox has complied with the
courts order. He declares the An
thony man has practiced law in dis
trict court, justice courts and city
courts and has filed numerous civil
actions. He is also charged with hav-
ing acted as counsellor and adviser
and has charged and collected fees for
his services Because of this action,
the complainant alleges that Wilcox
has been in open contempt of court
since the issuance of the disbarment
order.
Some time ago Wilcox is charged
with the organization of the Wilcox
Adjustment & Title company and that
members of the company including
Wilcox have been actively engaged in
the practice of law. The title com
pany, it is charged, is used merely as
method of practicing law.
Wilcox is said to own 1000 acres of
valuable land in Harper county in ad-
dition to a large number of cattle and
town property which brings valuab BILE
rentals. For this reason. it is urged.
Wilcox is amply able to engage in
business other than the practice of
law and has not shown to the court
that he should be reinstated
