The deaf in Topeka today attending
the fourth triennial convention of
the Kansas Association of the Deaf
would place any deaf man or woman
in Jail who would solicit aims of the
hearing public. In fact, in resolutions
adopted unanimously today the deaf
urged the enactment of law that
would make the solicitation of aims by
the deaf an act punishable by law.
There is no necessity for deaf
person to beg or solicit aims on ac-
count of Deafness" reads the resolu-
ton. There are many who prey on
the sympathy of the public to the in
jury of the respectable and self sup
porting deaf Also there are many
hearing people who feign deafness for
the purpose of soliciting aims, more
successfully.
These facts are given as reason
for the adoption of resolution urging
the enactment of stringent laws
against the begging deaf and the beg
CARS adopting deafness, temporarily,
to obtain aims.
Want Better School
In their resolutions, the deaf ask
for the installation of a course in
practical agriculture at the state
school for the deaf at Olathe. l. is
pointed out that few of the deaf can
attend the State Agricultural college
at Manhattan.
The resolutions point to the tact
that there are 160 acres Ct fertile
farming land on the state property at
Olathe. 1t is urged that this land be
used in teaching practical farming
The deaf deplcre the fact that the
official publication of the deaf, at he
Olathe school has ceased publication
in the last year. They ask that the
ma nor ha nlyblished n
Also, resolutions adopted urge that
schools for the deaf thruout the coun-
/ try teach the, combination sign and
oral language instead of the oral Ian
guage alone.A The argument is MA de
that it will be impossible for all deaf
to acquire the oral language.
Thanks have been rendered to the
local committee, the Interpreters,
newspapers merchants and Chamber
of Commerce and all others who aid
ed in making the convention SUCCESS
Home for the Aged.
The deaf were, supplied with data
today concerning the three state
maintained in this country. These
homes are located in New York, in
Ohio and in Pennsylvania. The deaf
of Kansas are saving their nickels and
dimes to build similar home in this
state.
This afternoon the deaf enjoyed a
ride over the city in automobiles sup
piled by the Chamber of Commerce.
This evening they will have a talk fest
at Memorial hall

There is a certain quality of tub silk
that women have always worn in GER

feeling of extravaganza.

peared at a summer resort in a ging-

Then came a swift and, sharp de-
cline toward simplicity again. The
war in France started it: the war in
America established it. The southern
mills poured out a vast quantity of
checked calicoes in the colors which

The markets across the Pacific Of
fered their tremendous supply of pom

that it was no longer necessary to Buy
costly fabrics for the summer.

a cotton frock, she likes to give the
appearance of being economical. This
attitude, as l have often said in these
shortstories of fashion, is the slogan
of the season Hide your wealth un-

hour.
In Comes the Apron.
In the second year of the war, the
introduction of the apron was not due
to any notion concerning simplicity,
but to the adoption of medieval cos
tumery. Turnout several centuries of
fashion, the highest ladies in the land
considered the apron a lavish bit of
adornment to place on handsome
gown. This feeling is still reflected
among several races of peasantry in
Europe. where the apron is Shanded
from generation to generation because
of its expensive needlework and fine
material.

other note of simple dressing. 1t is
