That the latter has commended her for

she is offended.
can understand the humiliation she
must feel at having been given this call
down by her employer-not realizing that
the employer was probably the more en-
barrassed of the two.
Many young girls entering the business
world are so thrilled over the first few
dollars they earn that they naturally
spend them for little luxuries they could
not buy for themselves when they were
still In school-sheer blouses of lace or
georgette crepe, nobby hower-bedecked
hats, fancy hose, all of which are so
dear to the feminine heart.
But these girls make the mistake of
assuming that because they look pretty
in these things they will make an i'm
preston in the Office. They little realize
that most employers appreciate much
more the girl who dresses down" rather
than up" to her place. Her clothes
must not be shabby. but any suggestion
of display in an Office is extremely
foolish and will only subject the wearer
to unkind criticism.
A much greater impression will be
made II she confines her sartorial efforts
to fresh tailored linen shirts, sensible
businesslike boots and hats minus trim
ming reservlng her finery for high days
and holidays.

THE SECRET OF SOME WOMEN'S
TOTAL NEGLECT OF APPEARANCE
The Ardent Feminist Lkened to the Man Seeing
Active Service Who Grows a Beard-One
Example of the Opposite Type

AS AGAINST the girl who spends her
"A all-all her time. all her money and
all her thought-on her appearance, we
have the girl who neglects her personal
appearance altogether. She is not really
dressed merely clothed: her hair is al.
lowed to string down dejectedly, and, Of
course, she scorns the use of a powder
puff. Let her nose shnel Little she
caresl
All these signs of emancipation are In
reality, according TO w. L. George, but
phases of womans rebellion against the
existing order Of things. In his essay on
The Intelligence of Woman" he says
"She is even revolving against her own
beauty; often neglects her clothes. her
hair, her complexion, her teeth This is
. pity. but it must not be taken too seri-
ously.
Men on active service grow boards,
and woman in her emancipation cam
paign is still too busy T. think of the
art Of charming. suspect that as time
passes and she suffers less intoerably
from q sense Of injustice she will revert
to the old graces.
Inc art OF charming was response to
convention and of late years unconven-
donality, great deal of which is ridicu-
lous, has grown much more among
women than among men. That is not
wonderful. for there were so many things
woman might not do. Almost any move.
ment would bring her up against bar
rier That Is why 1t seems that she does
nothing in the world but break barriers
How genuine woman's rebellion is, no
man can say. 1t may be that woman's
impulse toward male occupations and
rights is only reaction against the
growing difficulty Of gaining a mate
children and home. But I very much
more believe that woman is straining
toward new order, that the swift evolu-
ton of her mind is leading her to con.
test more and more violently the as
sumption that there are ineradicable diff
ferences between the male and the female
mind. As she grows more capable of
grasping at education she will become
more worthy of It. Her intellect will
harden, tend to resemble that of a man,
and so. having escaped from the empti-
ness Of the past into the special fields
which have been conceded her, she will
make for broader fields-felds so vast
that they will embrace the world"

Then He Grabbed Convenient SUIT
Case Full of Liquor.

Andrew Desch, a Russian, was ar
rested by the Iolice the other day
charged with importing liquor. Desch
did not bring the liquor to Topeka and
he may not own it but he was caught
with the goods.
The officers who made the arrest
say another man brought the liquor
to Topeka by train, probably from
Kansas City. But Desch was stand
ing convenient to the train when it
stopped. He was leaning up against
a bicycle, just watching the train come
in. The man from Kansas City hop
ped off with a suit case in his right
hand. He rushed up to Desch, handed
the suit case to him, took the bicycle
and faded away. Desch also started
to fade away but the officers stopped
the process before he had entirely dis
appeared. They relieved him of the
heavy suit case and opened it. Inside
were seven quarts of whisky and one
quart of wine. Desch was arrested.

POLICEMAN MURDERED
BIoodstains in Stolen and Deserted
Auto Explains kidnapping.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 90
Bloodstains on the rear seat of the
automobile in which Patrolman
George Connery was kidnapped Tues
day, led police to believe today he had
been the victim of a daring murder.
Connery arrested two men for
speeding here Tuesday afternoon. He
got into the car and ordered them to
drive to the police station, and has not
been heard of since.
The car, believed to have been stolen
from Miss Mary Lisance of La Crosse,
Wis, was found in St. Paul late yes
terday. License tags ard other identi-
fication marks had been removed. A
blood spattered crank lay on the floor
of the car. The wheels were covered
with mud and grass, leading the police
to believe Connery had been driven to
a lonely spot and murdered.
Police believe the men were GRIM
inaIs who feared discovery and MUIR
dered Connery rather than risk iden-
tification.

secretary of the state board of agri-
culture and secretary of the defense
council, indicate fair supply of corn.
kaffir, cane and millet seed. Reports
from over the state show 137752

ply adequate to meet all demands
Members of the state defense coun-

information as to the seed supply in
this state. Except corn, kaffir and

the kaffir and cane seed supply is not

FIRST new ROADS
Cross State Highways To BE
Built Before Others.
Discuss Plans at
Meeting Today.

Cross state highways are to receive
preference in consideration OF perma-
nent highway projects, according 10
statement today by members or the
state highway commission Represen-
tatives of various highways are before
the commission today TO discuss meth
DDS of procedure Under the new or
der, it is probable that nearly 5000
miles of cross state roads VIII De
placed in the selective list.
Efforts will be centered this summer
in a campaign for permanent build
ing along at least a portion of the big
highways. Short length projects along
portions of the various trails and ROADS
will be considered in the campaign TO
stimulate a general road building prof.
ect. Representatives of the old and
new Santa Fe trails, the Meridian road
Way. and other roads have appeared
before the state commission to dis
cuSS building plans and the diStrlbu-
ton of federal aid.
Under the plans adopted by the
commission, it is probable that the
commission will recognize short length
road projects along all of the big cross
state highways. Efforts will be made
to centraliZe the initial building along
the various trails, with plans for lat
erals to be built later. Demands will
not be made for county length units,
but consideration will be given town
ship and road district units in an eff
fort to promote in every county a def
mite sentiment for permanent and hard
surface roads. The cross state high
ways to receive immediate considera-
ton will call for construction of 5000
miles of permanent roads The move
is the initial step in five years road
building camDaion
