BLACkMAR FAVORS 1T
Kansas Should Revise Her Constitu-
ton, X. U. Professor Says.

Prof Frank w. Blackmar, OF Kan
sas university, believes Kansas as a
state should assert the same rights
that are given a city or township and
that the constitution should be re
vised to permit the people to build
roads, work prisoners and do many
other things denied under the pres
ent constitution The state university
man would solve the question thru
the calling of a constitutional con-
Vention.
Should the legislature fail to call
constitutional convention, Prof.
Blackmar favors amendments in such
a manner as to provide a more flex-
ible and adaptable government" Dis
cussing the plan for constitutional
convention, Prof. Blackmar declared
the present constitution stands in the
way of a more Simplified and econ
Omic government.

FUNDS FOR KANSAS
Legislative Recommendations for
Hughes Bill Before Congress.

Recommendation for legislation to
enable Kansas to come under the pro-
visions of the Smith-Hughes bill now
before congress, have been completed
by a committee of Kansas schoolmen
under the direction of Dr. c. A. Pros
ser, head of the Dunwoodie institute
at Minneapolis, MINI.
The recommendation are in the
hands of w. d. Ross, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, who will
attempt secure action from the legis-
lature this month. The Smith Hughes
bill proposes the providing of govern
ment aid for the hiring of teachers in
agricultural vocational and normal
training subjects. The appropriation
is on a sliding scale ranging nationally
from 100000 this year. to $1,000
900 annually by 1924. Kansas, by
passing legislation appropriating an
equal amount from the state. would
secure $4,000 government aid for the
teaching of agriculture this year; S.
600 for industrial trades teaching and
5000 for training teachers. The total
annual appropriation for Kansas by
1924 would be SIPS, 900.

ing, State normal. Emporia; H. l..
Kent, principal, school of agriculture

1t was at Topeka that Mr.. Field
took a civil service examination that
brought him a clerkship in Washing
ton in 1898. This was after the panic
of 1898 that swept over the Kansas
banks, when he brushed up his
stenography to take a new start in
life. His first government position
was in the photographic office of the
navy department when Admiral Sigs-
bee was in charge there.

In 1895, after two years, Mr. Field
decided to accept a 5000 position in the
department of justice in preference to
his 81 900 position in the navy depart
ment, because in the latter place Op-
portunity for promotion was wanting
For several years he was with the late
Major Strong, in the general agent
office of the department of justice,
and later was detailed to be appointed
clerk in that department. After filling
that position for two years he was
promoted by Attorney General Philan-

period of eleven years.

Home With Clothes Attire.

Burr Oak, Kan, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Otis
Carter, a bride of few months, met
death in a horrible manner. after
hours of agony from burning. She was
alone in the house and was replenish-
ing the fire in a woodworking stove,
when the flames puffed out, setting
fire to her dress.
She ran out of doors and rolled in
the snow, but not extinguishing the
blaze, lost her presence of mind and
started to run to the r. r. Richardson
home few hundred yards away,
with her clothing wrapped in flames.
When her husband reached her, much
of the clothing had been burned from
her body. The burns covered most of
her person.

Separation Becoming Popular Among

for divorce A month ago Chief Dan

drew in the matrimonial lottery is
cruel and that there's no living with
him. She also wants a divorce. So
does Mrs. Frank Lightfoot. She al

not support her. She has to support

piece of stove wood so that her only
peaceful moments are when he leaves
her, which he often does.
