There are a couple of officers in our

also have so enjoyed their association
among the fair sex while here that
they are planning to return after they

one of the institutions of learning in
Topeka.
1t is alleged that the courses offered
are not SO attractive as the fact that
co-education is in force there Wheth-
er or not the track team will benefit
by these plans is still matter of con-
lecture as certain forms of activity do
not go well with track work.

Ebert is quoted as saying in an inter-
view with the Berlin correspondent of

to make a serious situation.

Mr.. Albert Patten, general manager
of the street railway company, has is
sued street car passes for the use of
the women of the canteen commit
tee of the Red Cross. He is willing to
trust that he will not be called by
the interstate commerce commission
or the public utilities commission for
issuing passes to the Red Cross wo-
men. Mr.. Patten noticed how busy
the canteen workers were and wished
to do something to help SO he volun-
teered to give these passes to be used
by the women while on duty and in
anisOrm.
According to the new plans of Mrs.
Charles Mitchell. the head of the can
teen work in Topeka, all members
on duty each day will report at the
canteen hut at the Union Pacific sta
ton for orders at 10 o'clock each
morning and some of them will then
go to the other stations to work. The
captain of the committee in charge
will be on duty in the hut all day.
The workers at the Santa Fe and Rock
Island may go back to the hut to
spend the hours between their trains
with the other members of the COM
mittee, without expense to themselves.
This is made possible thru the kind
ness of Mr.. Patten in making this gen
erous concession.
