make their exit in order to give the
center of the stage to evening wraps
and to coats for spring. But they are
NOT going to slip away unhonored and
unsung; they will pass out amid
hearty applause. The last efforts of
designers are as interesting and note
worthy as those that ushered in the
season, and just as our minds We're

came such examples of fine artistry as
appears in the two coats pictured

bonuty and smart style.

COAL OR BOOZE VICTORY OR DEFEAT.

Those who are not laborers are en-
gagged in that form of production
which more largely makes demand

common knowledge that alcohol

Those who cling 70 the fetish that

DRY KANSAS GOES OVER
THE TOP IN VOLUNTEERS
One Out of FortyIy~o Citizens i'm the
Service-State Has Given S.
600, 900 to Red Cross

Prohibition Kansas has made a
wonderful record in furnishing men
for the colors and in buying liberty
bonds. Topeka. the capital city
leads the nation for cities OF it's popu-
lation in the purchase OF bonds, with
purchase OF zoe per cent OF its
quota.
What becomes Of the vets conten-
ton that the license states are the
states where the greatest patriotism
is manifested Here is the story az
given to the public press.
In the first year OF American par
ticipation in the war Kansas furnished
10000 men for the army and navy.
Despite the universal draft. Kansas
early in June still had to her credit
more volunteers than drafted men in
the service, According to records OF
the state adjutant- generals office. 49,
375 Kansans had volunteered through
the federalized national guard OF the
regulars and 7.4aS had been selected
for the national army. This makes
a total of 35,S73 in the army. while
approximately 1000 volunteered their
services to the navy and marines.
There was. therefore. one Kansas
man in the service for approximately
every forty-two men, women and chill
dren in the states population OF
100000

other s2.50o,o00 having been contrib

by the various chapters through their
individual efforts
There are ITO Red Cross chapters
IN the state. Each chapter maintains
a live organization, women taking a
leading part in a systematic campaign
of knitting helmets. socks and sweat
ers making surgical dressings and
other supplies needed by the Red
Cross. 1t is estimated that there are
at least 10000 Kansas women thus
actively engaged In Red Cross work
In the recent Red Gross drive Kansas
raised nearly 81 100000 in excess OF
its quota Of s1,5S4.o00.
In two campaigns for the Young
Mems Christian association war fund
the state has contributed s750.000, the
campaign of last November running
