Plan a Rest Room
for Country Customers.
Mrs. Sarah SayweH Celebrates
SSth Birthday Anniversary.

A petition is being circulated among
North Topeka merchants with the
purpose of increasing interest in the
establishment of rest room for
women who come in from the country.
Farmers wives who come to town
have no place where they can rest.
after shopping is completed, and are
compelled to stand about on the street
until they are ready to go home
Many who do not relish spending their
idle moments thus and who would
otherwise stay in North Topeka go to
the south side to shop because the
large dry goods stores provide COM.
Portable rest rooms for the accommo-
dation of their customers. If North
side merchants would cooperate in
tabliShing a rest room in the center
| of the business district, il is asserted,
the expense would be entirely out
weighed by the added patronage
gained Some merchants believe that
| the branch of the Y. w. c. A which,
| it is thought, will soon be established
| at Quincy school. would answer the
need But the people behind the move
ment say that Quincy school is too FIR
from the business center They. do not
think that the country people will
use it,
