Want A SCHOOL
Merchants Will Ask for Instruc-
ton at H., U.
To Be Open to Students
Throughout the Year.

An appropriation for the establish
ment of a school of merchandising at
Kansas university probably will be one
the new legislative league for retail
merchants. A legislative committee,
including representatives of retail shoe
dealers. retail hardware and imple-
ment dealers, Kansas Pharmaceutical
association. bakers, butchers. cloth
iers. jewellers and the Kansas Retail
association will meet in Topeka in a
short time to prepare a legislative
program.
Under the plan outlined for the
school of merchandising $40, 900 a year
will be needed to operate the school.
Its doors would be open during all the
year for short courses for merchants.
AT present there is a merchants school
open one week out of the year at Law
renee But a number of Kansas mer-
chants wish to adopt the Minnesota
plan. That state has such a school in
operation the entire year. Studies to
be, pursued would include buying of
goods. window dressing, advertising
from the merchants standpoint and
treatment of employees.
The plan of the new legislative
organization of the retailers is to have
a single legislative committee and thus
avoid duplication in both effort and
finances. Heretofore each association
has maintained its own committee be-
iOTc the legislature. III the majority
OF cases all the committees were either
for or against any given bill pending
in the legislature but did not work
together. Most of the bills affecting
merchants are general measures and
seldom is a bill introduced that affects
one particular kind.
1t Is expected that the new league
will save the merchants of the state a
good many thousand dollars in legis-
lative years by preventing the dupli-
cation of work in the legislature. 1t is
probable that the single committee
representing all of the business asso-
effective work than a dozen of the
special committees for each line of
trade.

London, Aug. 3.-Next to the war,

northern Europe, where weather CT

1T is quite true, our advance

longer, in order to give good lines. A

were worn last season would not LOOK
