walls sheds some practical light on the
question of what color the walls of

results of the research show that
white walls reflect by far the most

other colors in order of their light
rejecting qualities are: Cream, rose,

hands held out before her in agony
of sin and sorrow.
Her trial was sharp and short. She
hid her husbands guilt and took it Ola
herself. There could be but one SEN
tence. The next day she was carried
to the plaza, and a great crowd saw
the garrote fastened around her lovely
neck.
Even as the screw Of the garrote
was whirled By the eXecutiOner, Don
MunO de Monies ClarOs fell forward
in his chair in his rich house. AS
Luisa's eyes glazed, his life went out
on his brides breast.
None knows what has become of the
soul of Don MunO, but the soul of
Luisa assuredly knows no rest. She
must wander evermore through Mex
leo, wailing for her children. And she
bears with her the doom of everyone
who speaks to her, for the person ac-
costed by her surely will die within
the week. Should one accost her first,
and ask, as some have done: 'ThrOw
off your rebedo, senorita, that l may
see your pretty face" that man will
shrek when the yelled woman Obeys.
He will shrek just once, and fall dead.

to be made effective. the national
army should do a little '1eSSing and
lay aside its cigarettes and tobacco.
Along with wheatless and meatless

the cigarette urged that the soldiers.

wouldn't rest we'll until the soldiers
had responded to the demand Tor

well, indeed, but have any of US ever
heard of topaccoless days? / am for

tobaccoless day takes its place along
with the meatless and wheatless day

added, ITO US it seems exceedingly
strange that tobacco should be sup

been pronounced physically unfit for

PLAN FOR 1917 APPLES
Shawnee Horticultural Society in
Meeting ut State House.

Members of the Shawnee county
horticultural society are discussing
the apple crop and fruit growing con-
ditions in the Kaw valley at their an
nual meeting being held this after
noon in the state house. Plans for
storing and marketing the 1917 fruit
crop are being given consideration by
the horticulturists.
A number of prominent fruit grow
ers in the county are attending the
meeting, which will continue thruout
the afternoon. No formal program
was arranged and the discussion of
growing and marketing conditions is
largely informal
In the main fruit and berry men
in this county have enjoyed a fairly
prosperous year. Any shortage in the
crop was offset by long prices and
the cash returns have probably been
above the average. A number of
questions concerning the care of the
1917 fruit crop and preparation for
the 1918 crop are being discussed.
Fruit growers are planning greater
energies for next year and improved
plans for gathering, marketing and
conserving the crop. Practically all
of the members of the county organ
ization are members of the state So
ciety which will meet in Topeka this
winter
