THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS
An Instance in Which 1t Did Not
"Pay TO Advertise"

For Heavens sake cut out that
Ford Chassis advertisement, tele-
phoned the manager of the Topeka
Laundry to the State Journal, I'D like
to use the telephone for something be-
sides talking with women who want
work.
The relation of a Ford Chassis ad-
vertisement to female employment
had to be explained. 1t was due to a
typographical error.
The laundry inserted an advertise
ment reading: ''Wanted-A Ford
chassis" Through an error the want
ad was set "Wanted-Four chassis
Topeka Laundry"
AS soon as the paper was on the
streets the telephone at the laundry
began to ring.

in laundry I can do it. 1 have had

Change Spectators Have Good
Week on Strong Market.

New York, Domestic politics and
European complications as a whole
were relegated to positions of sec
ondary Importance this week while
the Mexican situation developed lew
and more acute phases. The deter
:nination of this government to take
drastic measures against the lawless
element IN the Mexican republic to
the extent of sending an armed force
across the border opened the way 20
much conjecture.
Judging from the course of st cks

undissuised satisfaction. Southern

American Smelling, all of which have
important interests south of the Rio

course was uncertain IN view of the

variable changes, but dealings in in

Anglo French war bonds were again
under pressure, but held a fraction
above the recent low record.

MIGHT TAKE LESS
Indications That Railroads Are
Willing to Compromise.
A Passenger Rate of 90 Cents
Might Prove Acceptable.

In closing the Missouri Pacific's
case before the public utilities COM
mission in an application for an in
crease in passenger fares, w. P. Wag-
gener, representing the Missouri Pa
cific, indicated that ruling similar
to that in the interstate passenger rate
case would be acceptable. Waggener
declared that his statement was not
an assurance that a split fare order
would be accepted, but indicated that
such a ruling would provide relief in
the state.
During a discussion of the case be-
fore the state commission Waggener
stated that the Missouri Pacific was
ready to compete with any road on
an equal basis. The two-cent rate,
he declared, meant loss to the road
of $1,1OO a day
What we want is a chance to get
out of the red with a 26 cent passen-
ger rate" Waggener stated.
Asked if his statement meant that
the road was fighting for the 2.6 cent
passenger rate order instead of for a
three cent rate, Waggener declared
that his road wanted the three cent
fare returned. A number of persons
who have followed the case, however,
have formed an opinion that a distri-
button of fares, based on the prin-
ciple employed by the interstate com
merce commission in the settlement of
the interstate passenger rate case,
would be acceptable to Kansas road
Railroad officials, however, have
failed to verify such a statement.
The Rock Island and Missouri,
week present their cases to the state
commission. The rate case was to-
day adjourned until Monday after

LAST SUPPER in WOOD
Copy OF Da Vinci's Famous Painting
for Grace Cathedral.

a fine wood carving from Oberam-
mergau of 1.-The Last Supper" by Da
Vinci. will be placed behind the altar
of Grace Cathedral when it is COM
pleted. The carving is magnificent
piece of work by a young Bavarian
who lived at one time in Oberam-
mergau, where the famous Passion
Play is produced. One of the broth
ers of the young artist played the part
of the Saviour in the play The young
fellow himself is now in this country
employed by a large concern, the iden-
tity of which is kept secret as Dean
Kaye has not yet finally consumInated
jealousy guarding against any posi-
bflity of being anticipated.
The carving represents the Savior
and His disciples taking their last sup
per together. The original painting
by Da Vinci is one of the most famous
paintings in the world. 1t was painted
On the wall of the Church of the Ma
donna Del Grazie in Milan. In Ma
poleon's first Italian campaign troops
were quartered in the church and the
room containing the painting was used
as a stable. Napoleon on learning of
this wrote an order that the monas-
terry should Immediately be vacate
and secured from further molestation.
The building of the church is now
assured as only $4,000 is needed to
make the pledges effective.

mothers cast offs. Nowadays, with
all the sophiStication of a full grown
follower of vogue, the wee ones in
sist on the latest spring lines and sill
houettes in the replenishment of their
wardrobeS- Like the elders, the chill
dren's styles smack of period dressing
Louis Seize, Directoire, 1860, 1880 and
also Louis Quinze- OF course all their
skirts are as full and wide as their
mothers and but a medium shorter.
Cunning little peasant frocks with
pointed bodices of laced black velvet
over short sleeved, frilly blouses of
white batiste and little full lowered
skirts of challie or crepe are quantity
charming and also childish. Many
indeed are the little models shown
with separate waists and skirts. some
with peplumS and others with little
SuSpender effects to match the skirt
material. Dear indeed to the hearts
of little girlhood are these miniature
separate skirt and blouse affairs just
like a real grown up lady's. One of
the SuSpender models comes with
skirt of striped green and white linen,
veritable little shirt waist of white
batiste, it's turn over collar and cuffs
finished with frilling picot edged in
green. A wide, band like belt of plain
green linen embroidered in vine of
white has two wide suSpender straps
going one over each shoulder, the
square ends of which protrude below
the belt line in little tab effects, like
a peplum. This model also comes in
rose and white and blue and white.
AS for coats, they are all narrow
across the shoulders and flare mod
ishly toward the finish. Silk peplum
or gabardine are the smartest mater
ials, always of course including fallle-
Some of them show touches of smock-
ing, insets below the high waist line
of blocks and pleats or tucks and
some are frogged smartly in gold or
silver braid. Yet others rely on a
collar of real lace, "a Jewelled button or
two or just the lustre of the material
to add chic. Hats run mostly to in
verified bowl effects OF leghorn and
Milan braid or to quaint little bonnets.
Picot edged ribbons are used lavishly
as trimming, as are button roses and
the gay cherries so beloved of the
grown ups just now Little feet shod
in high, white-kid-topped patent
feathers and white silk stockings show
dazzlingly below the full short skirts
just like mothers. Indeed. these little
| feet follow in mothers footsteps often
more sartorially than fittingly.

John R Connolly.

# either or both coast; should be
invaded, Mr. Connolly recently de-
clared, the people of the Atlantic
coast could retire westward behind
the Allegheny mountains and the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast could retire
eastward behind the Sierra Nevada
mountains, and there in the great
central basin, the richest country God
ever made, they could all live out
their lives in peace and security.
Because IF his expert knowledge of
naval affairs, gained as editor of the
Colby (kansas) Free Press, Mr.. Con-
nelly was made a member OF the
house naval affairs committee. When
Admiral Grant, in command of the
submarine tlotilla appeared recently
as witness before the committee, Mr..
Connolly had several questions to ask
during the cross-exa minatiCn. Here
is one of them:
Admiral Grant, there has been a
great deal of talk about torpedo boat
destroyers. Are they vessels to de-
stroy torpedoes?'
Another noted pacifist is Thomas
S. Butler, who has represented the
Eighteenth Pennsylvania district for
eighteen years. Recently he got an
admiral of the navy on the stand and
utterly floored him with this question:
So Big We're Not Scared.
Admiral, wouldn't we be in better
shape if we stopped building war
ships altogether, thus showing the
great powers that we are so big and
strong that we are not afraid? -
But in many respects the shrewd-
est of them all is Oscar Galloway, a
congressman from Texas. He used to
be prosecuting attorney of Comanche
county, and he has no mercy on peo-
pie who wear brass buttons.
Oscar is strong for submarines and
the plain people. He does not be-
lieve in battleships or snobs in uni
form. He got in an awful wallop re-
Gently on Rear Admiral Griffin, chief
engineer of the navy.
Mr.. Callaway-The number of acct
dents we have had in submarines on
account of chlorine gas has been al
most inconsidcra bic, admiral?
Admiral Griffin-Yes; but of
course, any accident that would result
in loss of life is one to which we
would have to give very serious con-
sideration.
Mr.. Callaway-Your accidents
from chlorine gas have not been as
fatal as those from unloaded guns,
have they, admiral?

Topeka Wins FIRST
Local II. s. Basketball Team Defeats
Atchison County IL to IL.

In the second days play of the First
district basketball tournament the To-
peka and Atchison county high
schools locked horns in the first game
this morning and Topeka won by the
close score of 2 to II. The game was
slow, and critics stated that the To-
peka team was far from its best.
Following the Topeka-Atchison
county game, Atchison city and Oska-
loosa took the court.
This afternoon the Topeka team
will meet the Atchison city team, and
it is generally thought that the winner
of this game will cinch the champion
ship.

Berlin. March 1.-THE news of the

hardly more than passing interest

the recognition of existing conditions,
