GOOD HABITS FIRST
Most important Requirement for
Mate, Say Students.
Women Are Insistent Also on Intel.
IectuaI Ability While Men Demand
Physical Beauty as Impor-
tant Requisite.

What are your requirements of the
person whom you would marry?
That question was asked of the stu
dents in connection with the discussion
on convention" by Prof. L. L. Bernard,
in his sociology class in the University
of Missouri, says the Kansas City Star.
SiXty-eight students, Al women and 27
men, placed on the professors desk
anonymous statements in answer to
the question.
The tabulated opinions show the
women consider good moral habits as
the prime requisite. Nineteen women
make it the first requirement, six the
second requirement, eight the third re-
quirement, six the fourth requirement,
one the fifth requirement and one does
not mention it, evidently considering it
of no Importance.
Good social position is considered
most important by seven women, while
the average place this requirement In
fourth place.
Good income Is held to be of prime
Importance by five women, while seven
teen hold 1t to be of secondary and ten
of tertiary Importance.
Congeniality and good treatment is
placed among the first four requisites
by 81 women, three of whom make it
the first requirement
One signifies her willingness to abide
with middle-aged man, while 13 place
youth as fifth in Importance.
One insists that good looks is the
first essential in husband, while the
majority seem willing to waive this
quality after putting in requests for a
good income, congeniality and a good
social position.
Just as the women require good
moral habits as the prime essentials
so the men insist on good character
and 20 demand it as the first require
ment.
While the women are more insistent
for intellectual ability, the men base
their faith on physical beauty. Five
men make 1t a first requirement, Is
make it a second requirement, while
no one places it below the fourth place.
All except five Of the men express an
opinion on congeniality but they do not
hold it as a high requirement and in
dicate their trust in character, youth
and beauty to include that quality.
The men are generally interested in
the training for home making, making
this requirement average fourth in i'm
portance. The men are decidedly in
terested In good heredity, while the
women make no mention Of it.
Two women and two men desire
their mates to be religious. One man
yearns for mutual infatuation and
places it as third requirement in his
scheme of things for marital bliss. One
woman longs for sympathy and assigns
1t in fifth place. One man insists on
sincerity and common sense while an
other requires musical talent in his
wife-to-be and a third demands his
wife must be economical.

Taste and Temperature.

The sense of taste resides in little
fask-shaped pockets imbedded in the
skin of the surface of the tongue and
In the upper part Of the throat. Each
of these bulbs has fibril of q nerve
connecting it with the larger nerves of
its region. Anything to be tasted must
be in dissolved or gaseous condition,
and differences in taste depend upon
the varying intensity with which the
impression is transmitted through the
nerves. 1t is not surprising, then, that
taste is much influenced by tempera-
ture and may temporarily be stopped
altogether by extreme heat or cold.
The sense Of taste is, 1t appears,
strongest at temperature between &c
and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BITl
No fooIlshnessl Lift your cornS
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
II is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

FREE RIDES FOR PHONE MEN
Bill to Help Railroad Men Changed to
Include Employees of TeIe-
phone Companies.

Just as the Kansas legislature ad
journed S. ]. Bear, chief lobbyist foI
the Missouri and Kansas Telephone
Company, was talking with a group OF
newspaper reporters about legislation
You fellows think you are mighty
smart" said Bear. you think you
know what goes on. But there is
something that got by you that you
don't know anything about. It's all
over and the governor has signed the
bill"
The newspaper reporters found the
other day what his great secret was.
In the amendments to the Anti-Pass
Law passed by the legislature there
is a provision that allows the railroads
to give passes to every telephone EN-.
ploye in the state of Kansas. Every
lineman, every operator, every official
and lawyer can have an annual pass
md not be violating the law.
The bill was drawn simply to per-
nit the railroads to give passes to the
families of pensioned employees. Some.
Ole wrote the word telephone" into
The list of exemptions. Later it was
stricken out and after the legislature
completed its work with the bill and
before the enrolled copy reached the
governor the word had been rein
serted.
Governor Capper did not discover
the opening of the Anti-Pass Law un-
til he was told about it by the re-
porters today. He at once began an
investigation and announced that the
validity of the law would be attacked
promptly and that he would see to it
that the state was not flooded with
telephone employees riding free. The
enrolled bill came to the governor in
the rush at the closing hours of the
session and when there is little or no
time to examine it.

FILE SUIT TO BREAK WILL
Sisters of Rich Kansas Bachelor
Claim Young Woman Used Undue
Influence With Brother.

Claiming tl,at Katherine Weir,
young woman of Greensburg, Kan,
exerted undue influence over S. D.
Robinette, a wealthy bachelor, to get
his money, sisters of Robinette have
sued in the federal court at Wichita to
break his will and obtain his 100000
estate. 1t is alleged that Miss Weir
employed lawyer of Wichita to visit
the bachelor at Hutchinson hospital
to "induce and procure the deceased
to make a will in her favor"
The sisters, Sallie ]. Robinette of
Denver; Florence Robinette and Rose
Zimmerman of Indiana and a brother,
George Robinette of Indiana, were left
not more than $17,5OO altogether by
the will, and this finally dwindled to
$4,000 for each of the first two sisters
and $1,000 each for Rose Zimmerman
and George Robinette, or total of
$4,000.
Mr.. Robinette, who owned land,
bonds, bank stock and considerable
cash, died in hospital at Hutchinson
last August.
Following the death, two Of the
sisters, Florence and Sallie Robinette,
came to Kansas and were at Green's
burg when a will witnessed by Post
master Sam S. Graybill of Hutchinson
and A. E. Asher was probated. Miss
| Weir and her attorney asked the sis
ters to compromise on the estate, they
allege, representing that the estate
was not worth more than $75,000
1.-THE defendant, Katherine Weir,
represented that she had been the
common law wife of the deceased and
that If an attempt was made to set
the will aside she would claim all of
the estate as the wife of the de-
ceased" declare the sisters in the
formal words of the suit.
