Young Women School Teachers
Real Smart Looking.
Best Appearing Convention
Delegates Here in Years.
TRAFFIC COPS ALL ON JOB
Streets Crowded in Topeka
Since Early This Morning. j.
Few Evidences of Old Fash
toned "SchOOl Marm.".

This is the day when the traffic
cop proves finally his right to place
on the city pay roll. On every corner
policeman is as busy as a one
armed paper hanger with the itch, for
the newly arrived teachers at the con-
ventiUn have learned and are follow
ing all the expert advice about seek
ing out the policeman for information
upon going into the city. Every street
car that stops on Kansas avenue, dis
gorges a bevy of women teachers, and
all along the streets, groups OF them
are gathered in little knots, welcom-
ing one another and exchanging ad-
dresses. All the young fellows about
town who never allow a good looking
skirt to fit unnoticed down the street,
are kept on a constant strain of at
tention.
The stores are crowded on this first
day of the convention, and the mer-
chants aid their clerks vie with the
cops in giving the visitors service
The women attending the convention
are no longer running true to the
ancient type of schoolmarm. They
nearly all look like girls; they look
even younger than they did last year
OF course they may be assuming a
virtue il they have it not" but it in
dicates that at least it is no longer
demanded, in the name of morals,
that a school teacher be plain, cross
and dowdy.
Smart Looking Clothes.
The young women are wearing
smart looking suits and hats, and
there are French heels and high top
boots, and smart, short skirts. Also,
the convention is giving color to the
old town; for the girls are sweeping
down the grey streets in bright col
ored clothes of the latest models, and
their suit cases are bulging in a way
that promises a parade of party gar
ments when the social affairs of the
convention are staged.
The teaching profession has never
been overpaid, but some advances
have been made in salaries in various
parts of the state. These raises
would have to be very substantial to
meet adequately the increased cost of
necessities and finery. And it is a
sure sign of the school teachers in
genuity and resource fulness that she
can appear in good looking clothes,
with a calm, unworried face, on the
salary she gets.
The hotels and rooning houses are
crowded, and many private homes
have been opened for the entertain
ment of the visitors. A reception for
all the visiting teachers will be given
Friday afternoon at the home t-of
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper,
which is to be the occasion for the
formal welcome to the members of

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

almost everyone knows that Sage
Tee and Sulphur. properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
INstre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
hottie of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in

other districts.
The disease was first discovered
this year at Van Buren, school nearly
month ago. Since that time two

CUTS ARE POOR
Artists Condemn Those Used in
State Text Books.
Luncheon Served Today at
PeIIetier's Tea Room.

About fifty Kansas artists and art
teachers attended the beautifully ap-
pointed luncheon of the Kansas Art
Teachers division of the annual State
Teachers meeting, which was served
in Pelletier's tea room at 1915 8. m.
today.
Miss Blanche Cassidy. of Leaven-
worth, president of the Art Teach
ers' association, was in charge of the
meeting. Among those present were
Geo. NJ. Stone, Albert T. Reid and Miss
Mary Bunker, of Topeka; Mr.. Hills.
designer of the Alternately Furniture
company; Mrs. Berger of the Berger
Engraving company, and Mr.. Rind-
skoff. interior decorator and costume
designer. all of Kansas City, Mo. T..
Principal Moore of the Leavenworth
schools, and Miss Carr, art teacher OF
the Leavenworth county schools.
Two forms of a constitution for an
arts and crafts club of the Kansas
State Teachers association, one to be
used if the state teachers meeting con-
tinues to be held a single meeting and
the other for use in case the meeting
is hereafter divided into four parts,
were read-and approved by those pres
ent.
The object of Arts and Crafts club
is to foster artistic knowledge among
the people of Kansas, and most espec-
tally to provide for the teaching of art
in the public schools and to prepare
teachers for this work.
Difference of Constitution.
The chief difference in the two
forms of constitution submitted is,
that in the event that the State
Teachers meeting is split up into four
parts, there will be four vice presi-
dents in the Arts and Crafts club, each
of whom will take charge of the round
table in his district, of the annual
teachers meeting held there. All OF
the other officers of the club will be
the same in either case, namely a
president and ecretary-treasurer
other persons besides teachers are
eligible to membership in the club,
and the annual dues are rs cents.
During the dinner the following res
olution was presented to the assem-
blage and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the text books published by
the state of Kansas have been con-
spicuously weak in their artistic side
the illustrations and reproductions
at best being only mediocre, and rec
ognizing this feature to be one of the
probation is cultivated in childhood,
the art section of the Kansas teachers
recommends and respectfully urges
the legislature to consider this most
important work, and that provision
be made for an art director on the
text book commission, who shall be
qualified as to illustrative art, repro
duction and composition, and who
shall provide for the school children
of Kansas the best art work obtain
able.
The art teachers round table met
in room Al of the manual training
nigh school at o'clock.

Noted Feminine Speaker Says
Civilization Is Degenerating.
PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAST
Industrial Life Is Taking Too
Much Nervous Energy.
More Religion, Play and Music
Are Needed.

"Civilization is going to smash is
the startling declaration maze py LII.
Alma webster Powell OF New YORK
CITY. who this afternoon gave an ad-
6,-ess 10 tbe urinary section on "Mu-
sic in the Health Trinity" Modern IN
dustrial life requires so much nervous
stimulus and energy that the moderh
man has ruined his physical SELF by
the time he is midleaged-
There are three means by Wh1ch
this over stimulus of industry can pc
combated," Doctor Powell said. These
are the influences of religion, play and
music The first of these. religion, has
nearly lost all of it's former force.
The old time religion has almost
ceased to exist, and instead people
now attend church to hear lectures on
sociological conditions and to be en-
tertained by a musical program. The
effective force of religion, that is. its
establishment of high unattainable
ideals, has greatly disappeared.
''Play," continued Doctor Powell,
may exist in a variety of forms. The
business man who works at his task,
not to make money, but for the joy
of achievement, is playing. The trou-
BILE is, however, that the great major
ity of our population simply makes a
wild scramble for money without
wholesome motives.
'Tf I were the princess of a princi-
pality I would provide brass bands in
such numbers that every person
would be within hearing distance of
them. I would have a band stand on
every corner and programs would be
given for two hours every morning,
noon, and evening. My health de-
partment's work would be reduced
by half and half of the normal police
force would be sufficient Music is
a force which counteracts the *evil
and detrimental influences that are
affecting the life. of nations.
TT is my belief that the reason that
the Italians and Russians are not bet
ter fighters is because of the musical
training that their enemy people re-
ceive. Further proof of this idea is
had when one learns that the Prus-
slams have the least musical training
of any people,
The reason that DR.. Powell is de-
voting her time to scattering abroad
the message of the power of music
at her own expense is that she be-
lieves that music is the most power
full of the agencies that can prevent
civilization from going to smash. She
will give a lecture recital at the high
school auditorium at 1890 tomorrow
