 ONE STATUE A THRILLER
 We passed Loula's house, saluted the low mound on the lawn beneath which her favorite horse lies buried and traversed more smooth boulevards than I ever dreamed city could possess on the return to the heart of town.
 What is the gigantic five-story glass -and-tile refrigerator on the left with the crowd around it?" I asked.
 "Oh, that's a new milk station. Through the windows you can watch the milk go through the various stages of separation. sterilization, etc. You get all kinds of milk for all kinds of babies there"
 Of course there is nothing startlingl, novel in a milk depot. It is only thsi' Kansas City's milk depots are amazinf ly large and beautiful and equipped. {-

Registration Will Show Government What Our Wom R. F Johnston, Chairman Ninth Congressional Dstr1 -

government Of course, wherever there
 Is a suffrage unit, we work through it.
 but there are so many remote places
 where there is no organization.
 T would like especially to emphasize again what Mrs. Julian Parke, president of the Alabama Equal Suffrage associa- tion, said during her visit here last week about registration, not exacting pledge from women to leave ther homes," Mrs Johnston said. This is not at all necessary. The government in fact does not want women to leave their homes, it merely wants to know what they can do in case of an emer- gency during the war; it wants to know it's woman power; it wants to educate women if necessary, to fill positions; for instance, if a woman indicates on her registration card that she has an aptitude for telegraphy but has never had an opportunity to learn it, the gov errment will note that fact and provide, instruction for her; the same holds good in any other branch
 ''So many women have come to me within the past few days and said, I am a working woman and can't leave my job, so why should 1 register? would like for these women to know that they do not have to leave their jobs," Mrs. Johnston said Perhaps they have an hour they might be able to give to the government after offce hours or before; that hour would be just as ac- ceptable as a whole day; it is just what ever bit you can do for your country that means so much and shows true patriotism on the part of our women. believe that the women of this country will realize what a tremendous advan- tage it will be to register and that the result will be of benefit not only to the government but to the women individ- ualiy; it will be very easy matter when the time comes and women have signed the registration card and signi- fled what branch they are most profi- cient in for the government to put it's finger (so to speak) on them when they are needed. Tucked away in many re- mote corners of the country are women who are capable and strong and ready and willing to serve their country, but the government doesn't know who they are or where to find them. Registration solves the problem and it is sincerely urged that every woman in this district will register tomorrow"

 "Oh, Bill, Henry, Jim, Charlie! Be sure and stop at the In-a-dor' apartments and show her what Kansas City offers in the way of intensive housekeeping" The "In-a-dors," Impnderstand are na- tive to Kansas City. I thought we had condensed flats in New York. l thought the "built-ins" of southern California
 were the last word in space economy.
 But think MT. Murphy, who invented the 'In-a-dor," must have conceived It either while riding in the New York sub- way at O clock some night or while try ing to make his toilet in a crowded Pull man washroom.
 Anyhow, he has evolved compressed apartment where full sized beds slioe downward from the backs of doors at the turn of knob, where at the open- ing of a panel, a completely equipped Idesk issues forth, and where pocket licebox is hitched to the wall above the kitchen sink, the drippings of said ice box flowing into said sink, to be util- Iized in any way the housewifette may think of
 These multum in parvo homes are completely furnished, even to napkins and an eggbeater. Electric light, gas for cooking, steam heat and janltor service are all included in the rent,
  room and bath apartment we looked at. And you are allowed one child, if me- dium sized; two, If small.
 NO EMBARGO ON GRASS Most western cities claim to have more owned homes per 1000 popula- tion than any other city. I don't know which one actually has the most. But Kansas City looks to have the most
 It certainly had Colonel Nelson. own- Ter of the famous Kansas City Star. And one of the colonel's finest hobbies was laying out residence streets and building beautiful, moderately-p priced houses, which he sold to the thrifty on easy terms.
 I did not see shabby house in Kan sas City, though we drove over 50 miles of boulevards. The architecture ranges from the gingerbread type of 40 years ago, through the mausoleum type so popular with the rich in the sos, to the lovely, simple homes of now- adays-concrete and clapboard and shingle and stone. with homely door, ways and red brick walks. Even the colored population has modern, attrac- tive homes.
 The hills around Troost lake are a-boom with charming houses where man can have his garden, friend wife her tea arbor, the babies their chance
  and the whole family, including the dog, can jump into the lake for swim any minute they want to-all on d $2500 salary, say. You couldn't do that in New York on $1,000,000 pay en- velope because there isn't any such place within 50 miles of Broadway.

 ular Saks' store the Birmingham
 S branch of the Navy league has been able during the past few days to display the first "convalescent robe" which has been knitted here for the sailor-soldiers.
 The beautiful garment has been ex- travagantly admired since it has been shown in the Saks windows, and no doubt will inspire many who have here tofore had no connection with the local branch of the Navy league to join it and "do their bit'' toward knitting com forts" for the navy men
 The colors are wonderfully vivid and lovely in the 'convalescent robe" and few would believe that the entire gar- ment is made from scraps of yarn and wool-'1eft overs''-not quite enough to do anything 'big" with, yet quite suffi- cient to make a five-inch square for the robe.
 The "convalescent robe" is composed of 1S5 squares of five inches each, these squares are of every color imaginable, green, red blue, yellow, rose, and when a square has been started with one color

 N\ government what our women
 can't do as well as what they can do and that is exactly what the gov ernment wants to know; in other words, the government wants our women to give an account of themselves and their tall ents; registration for women is nothing new in other countries. England, Ger many and many foreign nations demand registration of their women just as they do of their men"
 Mrs Richard F. Johnston, who is chair man of the committee for the registra- ton of women for the Ninth Congress sional district, yesterday summed up the whole situation in the above quoted sen tence in regard to what registration for women means when she was speaking of what was expected of the women of Jeff ferson county tomorrow "Wednesday, which has been set apart as registration day.
 When the various war activities were assigned to the different womens organi- zations of the country, the Woman's s Equal Suffrage association was given the registration of women, and with their usual progressiveness and enthusiasm the members of the suffrage association all over the country are giving their best efforts to conduct the campaign thor oughly and accurately.
 Mrs. Johnston, who is one of the most prominent leaders of the suffrage move ment in Alabama, has taken hold of the work here with determination and grit, and while she had a very short time to formulate plans and make arrangements for registration day, she feels greatly en- couraged by the hearty response she has received from her co-workers all over the Ninth Congressional district.
 We have personally financed the work" Mrs. Johnston said, employing every means in reason to raise funds to defray the expenses. Except for short age in registration cards, things have progressed smoothly and satisfactorily. In the rural districts we expect to reach

Kansas City, August 12.-(Special.) ) Mention New York, and you think of sky scrapers. Charleston, and you see the Battery, where mammies tend aristo- cratic babes. Say New Orleans, and a perpetual carnival moistened with sazar- acs comes to mind. San Francisco means a lot of things to lot of people; you can't be quite sure what visions the nam. ing of that town will conjure up. But when you speak of Kansas City, don t you always think of millionaires?
 When you go to dollar-a-minute roof gardens in New York aren't they always full of Kansas City folks? And what would Mme. de la Pay and the Maison Charlotte Russo do if they didn't sell their best models to K. C.?
 I expected to see gold-plated limousnes and people wearing diamonds outside their gloves
 Instead, saw the usual models of Packards, Fords and roadsters, and the people attending to business in the most informal and comfortable linen suits that were ever Montgomery Warded at sS9S As for gloves, and diamonds, not.
 But where are all your millionaires?" besought a kind person who was acting as Baedeker, pro tenn T thought the place was knee deep in 'em! 1 thought you couldn't walk half block without pumping them out of your path?"
 True" said Baedeker, you have bumped a dozen already. The little wom- an in the cotton frock who just stopped her car to keep from running you down is the wife of one of our rich men-$12, 100000 at least. The man over there in the striped shirt and carrying the palm leaf fan owns 20 city blocks. The young man whose toe you just stepped on has given a quarter million to the Red Cross.
 NO ROOM FOR SNOBBERY
 ''The stout gentleman in the white the bank, is the person to whom the let ter of introduction in your hand is ad- dressed. Dunno how many millions he has. He runs five businesses. Every thing from sash and door factories to lead mines. That's his bank. Go right in. he'll see you!'
 Informality and comfort are keynotes of Kansas City Everybody's busy. Yet everybody has time to see you and be nice to you. Everybody has money. And they're so used to having it that they don't think much about it.
 They buy what they want. If what they want, either for themselves or for their city happens to cost a billion or so, they order it without any fuss, getting the best there is and taking it very much for granted.

their momentary want, they get it, nor pause to wonder. "What'll the Jonses think?' The Jonses don't think any, thing, as matter of fact. They do the same thing themselves.
 Airs and snobbery are no characteristic Of Kansas City The men are all too busy with crops and mills and mines and railroads and banks and factories-run- ming things that are already started. starting new things, opening up new tracts of land, building new towns-to pose or bluff
 The women are too much taken up with Red Cross and other efficiency work to bother with unproductive fritterings.
 l judge all this from the Huttigs and what the Huttigs showed me of their town.
 MILLIONAIRES JUST FOLKS
 William Huttig, president of the Ma tional Reserve bank, is the particular Kansas City millionaire to whom 1 had a note of introduction. I must get a note of introduction some time to New York millionaire, present 1t at o'clock on busy afternoon when the tempera- ture is at dalliance with the upper sos, and see what he will do.
 l may be prejudiced but I do not be- lieve New York one would jump right out of his chair, extend both hands and greet you as though you were the only person on earth who could bring per lection to an otherwise imperfect day.
 l don't believe New York one would shoo off callers-men who looked as if they had money to deposit or a new busi- ness deal to open up-and tell you not to be in a hurry, and hows that old geezer out in Denver, Harry Tammen, who gave you the note of introduction, and hoWs New York nice li'l burg, New York, but kinder slowD, and hows your work coming along, and what d you think of the country west of the Hudson river, anyway? But if (this Is after an hour) you really must go. let me send for the car and have you shown the town. Bill Jim Henry! Charlesl Get the Pack the Loco'll do just as well, oniy hurry up, and don't forget to show her the sash and door factory that founded the fam fly fortunes. And be sure and go round by Cliff drive and the Scout monument, and-oh, I say, don't fail to stop at the Country club and-order dinner at the Muehlebach. She'll enjoy the ice skat- ing and-lemme see-oh, take her all over the town
 Yes I must try out New York mill lionaire on that sometime.
 HOMES THAT FOLD UP
 "Oh, 1t isn't that we're any better than other folks" explains MT. Huttig. Its that New Workers live too far from their business. They haven't time for anything but business, once they get in from the suburbs or from Harlem where they live in bureau drawers!
 Those cliff dwellings may be all right for those that's used to them. But give me regular house with a garden and roof for kids to get mixed up with the grass and the dirt! You can have ali
