New York. Aug. 24.-Dominick
Proulson, one of the friskiest amateur
sharks in the waters about New Jer-
sey. is regretting his sense of humor
today after his arrest for pinching the
four legs Of what proved to be two
complainants. Miss Sophie Price and
Miss Cleminena Turrick were the per-
sons whose screams attracted police

According to the young women,
Proulson swan near and asked if they
cared to learn how to swim. They re-
quested that he pursue himself around

Price screamed and announced that a
shark was biting her. Miss Turrick
started to run toward shore and was
rather gently bitten also. She added

NO COL SLICkERS!
Kansas Won't Stand for ssThem
Eastern Orators"
ssThey're All Right Down East
But Not Here."-BensOn.
ONLY A "FIzzLE" OUT WEST
Only Western Speakers viii Be
Allowed on Soil.
Wilson VIII Rely Upon Kansas
for His Talent.
ONLY A "FIzzLE" OUT WEST

Down east orators for the Demo-
cratic national committee must do
their work in eastern states. W. F.
Benson, state bank commissioner, and
member of the Democratic national
campaign committee, declared today
that the eastern orators could not
come to Kansas without his protest.
Benson. who will have the power to
eliminate from the state any orator
suggested by the national committee,
stated today that he would accept only
speakers who talk the Kansas lam
guage.
Benson has been in politics a num-
Der of years. He has studied the
game from the inside and the outside.
He has listened to over press-agented
eastern spellbinders and gone home
with new pride for the boys on the
Eldorado high school debating team.
In st. Louis during the national con-
vention. Benson looked over the collec-
ton of eastern talent, but he didn't see
anything worthy of attention in Kan
sas. So Benson will rest the case of
Wilson and the Democratic admins
tration with the Kansas voters after
the western orators have driven home
their argument.
They're a FTzzle Out Here.
This stuff about big eastern
orators gives me pain" was Benson
expression today after returning from
conference with the national cam
paign committee in Washington. You
can bet your life Kansas doesn't get
any of this eastern talent if 1 have
anything to do with it. Those eastern
fellows are all right-down east. But
they are a fZzle out here. They SIM
ply don't talk the Kansas language
and can't get down to take hold of our
voters.
My complaint doesn't affect merely
the Democrats. 1t is true of the Re-
publicans, TOO. In Washington it is
the western man who is doing things.
And the man who delivers votes in
Kansas is the man who can talk the
language Kansas men and women I'M
derstand. 1 don't discount the east
ern man in his large towns, but out
here he is lost
why, I wouldn't give forty cents
for a whole flock of those eastern
spel1binders in a campaign in Kansas.
BESIDES, Kansas has a dozen men
who can talk a circle around any of
the eastern men who come here. They
know how to get down and take hold
of our people and how to present the
issues in a way that will get votes
Ard you can bet we are going after
votes in Kansas this fall-but not
with a bunch of those down-east ora
tors who are not in the same class
with our home TALENT

itors had nothing to do with the finan-
cial and entertainment program of the

gram of the moving picture conven-
/ ton, wish to review the history of the

Kansas City film exchanges
In June, Charles Harding and E.
H. Pearson, Kansas City film men,
came to Topeka and called a meeting
of the exhibitors for the purpose OF
projecting plan to hold a movie con-
vention in Topeka. They guaranteed
/ $3.50 to 5000 to finance the conven-
ton They also guaranteed to bring
five stars here for the movie ball
After the meeting the Topeka ex-
| hibitors held another meeting and
organized various committees for the
purpose of staging the convention
After making an estimate of the cost
! the local exhibitors requested the film

finance the convention.
/ THE film people positively refused
to forward any money. They stated
that they couldn't guarantee five star.
but promised to do their best

How to Judge a
Woman by Her Hair

There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such as
saying brunettes are quick-tempered.
But there is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to Judge a woman's neatness- If you
are one of the few who try to make
the most Of your hair. remember that
1t is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses. but always use some good
preparation made expressly for sham
pooling You can enjoy the very best
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water when your
shampoo is all ready. After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is Its lus-
tire and softness will also delight you.
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

BETTER WEATHER NOW
S ID. Flora, Observer in Topeka, Re.
turns After Trip.

S. d. Flora, weather observer in
charge of the Topeka station. has re-
turned from a trip thru northwestern
Kansas, and he brings wonderful tales
of good times back to the capital with
him. Rains have been plentiful in
that part of the state, according to
Mr.. Flora. and the farmers are al
most overrun with prosperity.
The farmers chief concern said
Mr. Flora" is when he can get to the
garage to buy machines or to have
his car repaired. Automobile men
are swamped with business. At many
places I saw thousands of bushels OF
wheat piled on the ground waiting for
empty cars or a place in the elevators. -
The corn crop, according to Mr..
Flora is better in northwestern Kan
sas than in the Kaw valley.

friends in the State Journal office.
There is fine field here for books,
stationery. typewriters and supplies,

French May Establish Munich

More Wedding Bells Must Ring
to Preserve the Race.
WIDOWS WE'D TOO SOON
Men Reported Dead Often Re-
turn After Long Periods.
Many Find Their Wives Living
With New Husbands.
WIDOWS WE'D TOO sOo|

Paris, Aug. 24.-Eugene Brieux,
member of the Acamedy of France,
with a view to encouraging marriage
after the war for the purpose of null
tiplying French homes, urges today
the establishment thruout France of
official matrimonial bureaus under the
direction of the mayors of towns and
villages. He says:
MANY young men are willing to
marry moneyless girls and many
young girls are willing to marry poor
or mutilated men. but the marriages
do not occur because the men and
girls do not meet Special registers
should be kept at all mayors offices
where eligible young people may sign
their names and give their age and
profession so that anyone desiring to
marry can find life companion with
out difficulty
Since we agree today that the
preservation of the race is the creates.
and most sacred duty. it is necessary
to give all help to those inclined to
build new homes
Much Involuntary Bigamy.
An extension of legal delays before
remarriage for widows of soldiers is
being considered in order to avoid
further cases of involuntary bigamy.
Some legal circles advocate an extern
sion of the legal delays until after the
war for wives of modified soldiers.

as believed dead" because they had
not been heard of for a long time, have
since reported or returned from Ger
many.
A well known provincial editor. NJ
Renaudet, estimates that during 1915
there were 10000 French soldiers who
as prisoners in Germany have been I'M
able to communicate with their fam
lilies in France. He declares that it is
Germany's fault if soldiers reported
as believed dead return MANNED to
France and find their wives remarked.
Germany does not allow prisoners
employed in Notifications, trenches or
transports to communicate with fam
lilies because of the knowledge derived
in the course of their work Owing to
this obligatory silence imposed on the
prisoners, it now happens that many
officially reckoned as dead are claim
ing to be reinstated as living citizens.
Bachelors Not Worried

quence and as regards married prison.
