New Fancy Collars
While collsr'ess styles are fash
ionable, dainty collars have by no
means been discarded; on the con-
trary, this is an accessory made
very much Of Some Of the new
shapes fall in rather long points
over the shoulders. others are point
ed in front and square in the back,
and the familiar sailor collar is ever
present. Fine voile, marquisette and
handkerchief linen in white and col
ors are used in the new collars.
Some are hemstitched by hand.
others by machine, and on almost
every one there is some touch Of
hand embroidery. Double collars
are usually made with the upper one
Of some color and a white one, a
little larger, under It.
The high stock collar is being
worn by smart women as much for
sports as for use with tailored cos
tunes. Usually It Is made Of pongee
or some heavy silk with ends that
cross in front OF striped or figured
silk.
For sports wear white silk
blouse with one of these collars and
skirt matching the figured or
striped silk in the collar, make a
very attractive costume. This idea
is also carried out in linens and the
new figured cotton materials which
are so smart for sports skirts. In
stead OF the high stock collar, some
open-neck blouses are worn with
graceful four-in-hand ties made of
the skirt material.
The Barrel Effect.
The barrel or bowling-pin silhou-
cite appears to be meeting with sue
cess not only in skirts of the tailored
type, but in afternoon frocks. The
effect obtained by soft draperies and
pleats at the upper part Of the skirt
makes very graceful lines and is es-
pecially pretty in afternoon silk

THE KENTUCKIAN
FOR 1917

The Kentuckian on Jan. |, 1917 rounds out IT'S
18th year. Under normal conditions the year 1916
ould have been year of unusual prosperity but
as the public is aware the exorbitant and unprece-
dent price charged for News Print Paper cut a
leep hole in the profits of all newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out of business.
The Kentuckian enters the new year with print
paper that cost $54 ton at this time last year now
costing about $40 for the same amount of paper
not as good. How long these conditions will con-
tlnue cannot be foretold.
Many newspapers have advanced rates but i'm
order that the circulation may not be lessened by
higher price the Kentuckian w i'll still be sent for
$500 year, the old price. 1t will be necessary
though to adhere rgidly to the cash system, since
more than S1.O0 must be paid in advance for the
paper upon which we print 156 papers and the cost
of printing leaves but little profit out of the second
dollar. We are asking old subscribers to stand
by us in this crisis by renewing promptly. Adver-
tisers will also be asked to pay slightly higher
rate for space, which is all newspaper has to sell
outside of it's subscriptions. We trust the adver-

CONGRESS TO TOPEKA
National Prohibition Meeting Coming
to Topeka in june

A national prohibition congress to
be held in Topeka June IS, 10 and 20,
is the plan of the headquarters COM
mittee of the Kansas Anti-Saloon
league, which is meeting at the state
headquarters, 91S Kansas avenue The

There will not only be members of

chiefly to form a national prohibi-
ton club, composed of all the prohi-
b1tion agencies in the state and all in
dividuals who are interested in the
cause of a "bone-dry' nation. Should
the club be formed it will undoubted-
ly at some time during the next ses-
sion of congress, hire a special train
to Washington and in a demonstra-
ton several hundred strong will show
Kansas wishes in the matter to con-
gress as well as making a campaign
for the support of the entire nation.
Following the close of the present
session of the legislature, an aggres-
sive law enforcing campaign of the
new dry laws passed by the legisla-
ture will be pushed, according to Off
GERS of the league.
Following are the members of the
headquarters committee who are in
Topeka for the conference: Gov. Ar
thur Capper, ex-Gov. E. w. Hoch, of
Marion; the Rev Q. c. Bronston, Hol-
ton; the Rev. NJ. L. Robey. Topeka:

The way to keep the family free
from colds is to keep the windows
wide open at night, so that plenty of
fresh air can circulate in the bed
room. Then whenever they show the
first signs of cold, rub Vap-O-Rub
well over the throat and chest and
cover with warm flannel cloth. Leave
the covering loose around the neck,

ingredients in the form of vapors.

No Need for Legislative Session
Until 1928, Says One.
Representative Wells Sees No
Reason for New Laws.
BIG LOSS TO STATE THIS YEAR
Net Cost of 100000 Just for
Operations of Legislators.
Appropriations All That Is
Necessary, He Declares.

When the legislature adjourns in
March, adjournment should be for SIX
years, according to H. r. Wells, rep
resentative from Miami county. The
Miami county member declares there
was no actual reason-aside from ap-
propriation bills-for a legislative
session this winter and no legislature
should convene in the state for at
least six years
1t is the belief of Representative
Wells that the 1917 legislative session
will have resulted in complete loss
of $4,000 to 500, 000-the expense
of an average session-because the the
lawmakers met at this time OF
course, under the constitution, 1t Will
be impossible to dodge the regular
biennial legislative sessions. But
Wells believes that If the legislators
would merely meet, pass appropria-
| ton bills and go home the state Woulo
be greatly benefited.
! The members of the 1917 session
| have introduced 1000 bills to date
| Wells believes the proposed legislation
| is entirely uncalled for, unnecessary
and that no general good will come to
the state thru the general enactments
| at this session.
Not an Issue.
There isn't one issue before the
people at this time which demands the
attention of the state legislature"
! Wells told friend on the floor of the
! house. 1T would have been the best
thing in the world for the state if the
legislature had been adjourned at least
six years. Possibly certain highway
legislation demands some attention at
the hands of the egislature-now that
| we are here and seem determined to
spend the fifty days IN session. But
aside from little highway legislation
and the appropriation bills, there ISM
a solitary thing, in my judgment, that
is worthy of consideration or should
receive serious attention..
Wells pointed to the heavy calendar
of proposed laws which he declared
unnecessary.
almost all of these bills are
amendatory of some law now on the
statute books" he said. ''Why the
people in our cities, counties and
townships barely familiarize them
selves with the laws enacted in one
session until another session is held
that either wipes them off the books
or provides amendments that mater
tally change their meaning and pro-
vide new methods for their operation.
We have so many laws now that no
one knows what they are all about.
But every legislature that comes to
Topeka adds a few hundred more. If
we would just quit and go home for
six years, it would. in my judgment, be
the creates. service we could render
the state"
