An interview with this distinguish
ed actor, who Is so closely associated
with the role OF "Dsraelr' that the
name has become synonymous with
his real name, was quite formid-
able undertaking. until he was met
face to face.
Then. however, under the influence
of the most gentle, courtoousI and
quantity humorous person imayin-
able, It became such n pleasure that
the leave taking was quite as reluc-
tant as the approach.
First Of all. perhaps unfairly.
short personal description OF the
man will be OF interest. Unfair be-
cause of the views Mr.. Ariiss holds
on publicity, and the preservation of
the individuality of a star safe from

in and out Of his stage door like

but by the very few, Mr.: Arliss be-
lieves in leaving some little glamour
to the person of the actor And that
glamour and Interest cannot be sus-
tained when everything Is revealed
by the assiduous press agent.

A MONG the strangest sights In
~ France are the human hair
~ markets in Brittany, Auvergne,
and some districts of Nor
mandy. AT certain times the women
of the countryside flock to these mar
kets and exchange their long tresses for
silks and satins, dress ornaments and
household novelties. 1t is this hair sup
ply that forms the bulk of the artificial
hair sold in Paris.
But because the women of these de-
partments-as the provinces Of France
are politically termed-part with their
beautiful hair for articles OF barter, you
must not get the impression that they
are not like other women. and careless
of their appearance. They are Just as
vain OF their good looks as the women
of Paris. but the fashions of these de-
partments from time beyond memory
have included close-iitting caps that are
worn on all occasions. With the ex=
,ception of two fiat bands which pass
over the forehead ana down 10 the
ears. the caps hide all their hair.

ter out this way: "our large heads Of

BIG PUBLISHER HERE
Luncheon Given in Honor of w. Ill.
Cowles by Topeka Publisher.

W H. Cowles, editor and proprietor
of the Spokane Spokesman Review OF
the state of Washington, was in To-
peka yesterday, the guest of Frank F.
Mac Lehman.
Mr. CoWles is one of the big news
paper men of the country and is dl-
rector of the Associated Press. He has
very large financial interests in Wash
ington and California aside from his
big newspaper property. While here
he desired to study Kansas methods
in handling farm publications. He mas
three farm journals OF his own.
To this end. Mr. Mac Lehman gave
luncheon yesterday noon in the Grey
Room of the State Journal building.
Those present. with Mr.. Cowles and
Mr. Mac Lehman were: Governor Cap
per. owner of the Cappcr publications.
Marco Morrow. director of adVertis-
ing; Charles Dillon, mana ging editor
of the farm publications; E. w. Ran
kin, advertising marager of the Mail
and Breeze, one of Mr.. Capper's week
ly farm papers; w. Y. Morgan of the
Hutchinson News. and Arthur Car
ruth city editor of The State Journal
Mr.. Cowlcs was immensely pleased
with Topeka. He takes great interest
in banking and hotel situations as we'll
as in the newspaper field. He thinks
the prospects in all these three lines
very promising at the capital of this
state of wealth.

CUT OFF ALL RETURNS
New York Publishers Action Facing
Serious Paper Situation.

New York, May 3.-All the big
newspapers here today announce that
hereafter they will give no returns
Heretofore, most of these newspapers
have been in the habit of supplying
newsstands, news dealers and news
boys and taking back unsold copies.
This involves so much waste in white
paper that the New York publishers
have unanimously decided that here
after they will permit no papers to
leave their hands unless sold This
is in line with the most strenuous
daily papers in New York and else
in connection with the serious white
paper situation.
At the publishers meeting of four
days here last week, the white paper
conditions were uppermost in the con-
versation between different publishers
and in the topics at the meetings. The
big papers are cutting off free copies
not only to exchanges but to en-
ployees and advertisers and are en-
deavoring to let no printed white pa
per out of their hands unless it is paid
for. One western newspaper, whose
representative was here last week, has
announced that, beginning with the
first of June, the price it would now
have to pay for white paper would
cost it 100000 more for the next
twelve months than It had for the past
twelve months, assuming that the
same quantity was used Efforts will
be made to eliminate now every paper
not directly bringing in cash.

Goes To HOSPITAL
st. Francis Takes Mrs. DinS-
more without Cost.
Unable to Work and Is Almost
Destitute.

St Francis hospital has agreed to
care for Mrs. Bessie Dinsmore free OF
charge and she was taken to the hos
pital Tuesday afternoon. This action
on the part of the hospital authorities
will be of great assistance to the
stricken woman, but it must not be
forgotten that she is still in need of a
great many things. At the hospital
this morning it was reported that she
rested fairly well last night but her
condition is practically unchanged.
Mrs. Dinsmore is a hard working
woman and labored necessarily to sup
port herself and her only child before
the tragedy that took away the dear
est object of her affections though she
was in poor health for a long time and
barely able to work for a few weeks
prior to the death of little Edna. She
is suffering from complete break
down and it is absolutely necessary
that she receive AID until she is able
to work.
Subscriptions have been coming in
for the fund in response to a call by
the State journal and already this
morning seven dollars and fifty cents
has been donated. This money will
be kept until Mrs. Dinsmore is out
of the hospital, as she is in no need
of money until that time. The fed
GRAFTON of women's clubs will cooper
ate with the State Journal in the mat
ter and will probably take action that
will provide permanently for Mra
Dinsmore in the way of employment
as soon as she is able to work.
Those who have subscribed to the
relief fund for Mrs. Dinsmore and the
amounts follow:
