The boy was probably young and did
not feel prepared to marry until he
met the captains daughter, and then
he became infatuated with her. He
did not mean to hurt you and prob
ably does not realize to what extent
he has. He should never have
claimed all your time without meaning
that he would marry you; and you
should never have given him all your
time and thought without being en-
gagged to him. A girl simply cheats
herself when she limits herself to one
boy friend. You are still young and
have q great deal Of happiness ahead

make up your mind that if that boy
wasn't for you, some other boy will be.

Crawford, manager of the Crawford
theaters, who is in difficulty with the
stage hands union. The chorus lads

The antiphonal chorus between the

both sides have out the welcome sign

Roy Crawford this morning asserted
that the strike on the part of the
stage hands union in Topeka was not
going to interfere at all with the pro-
duction of the show.
THE union has called out some of
the carpenters" he said. but only
few of the men are affected by the
road call, and there are plenty of
workmen to take care of the show in
good shape. A bunch of the chorus
men of the company understand the
lighting business for the show and will
take care of that end of the work in

'the changes of scenery took %

handle the job here in Topeka don't
do it in 5 minutes he claims he will
have the show with all the scenery

LOCATE EVERY TREE
Boy Scouts Are Saving Government
Many Million Dollars.

To get every available black walnut
tree to market is the aim OF the forest
specialists working with the boy scouts
of America in their efforts to locate
this valuable war material.
Gun stocks and airplane propellers
must be made from black walnut be-
cause it will not warp or splinter when
hit with bullets or shrapnel.
When the government learned that
the country was apparently stripped
of this wood and that no known large
tracts of land where this timber grew
could be located, the president issued
an appeal to the boy scouts to seek the
country over in an endeavor to locate
black walnut whether it was in the
city, the country, forest tracts or
serving as a shade tree at some private
residence.
A plan was adopted to further this
work. Entering into the arrange
ments and lending their approval were
the bureau of aircraft production, the
ordnance department, the forest serv-
fense. The publicity literature was
furnished by the government.
The scouts went to work at once
and reports poured into Washington.
Figures supplied by the forest service
indicate that the scouts have located
14,03S,560 board feet and that reports
are still coming in. They have re-
ported about 1867 carloads. Thou
sands of gun stocks and propellers can
be built from this material.

SYNOD TO topeka
Lutheran Gathering of Four
States Here Next Week.
Patriotic Demonstration a Fea.
ture of the Program.

The Lutheran synod will hold its
annual convention in Topeka from
Wednesday, October 8, to Tuesday,
October Is. The convention will be
attended by representatives from Kan
sas. Oklahoma, Colorado and New
Mexico. Local members anticipate
more than ESQ members of the synod.
The meetings will be held at the st.
Johns Lutheran church, the Rev. P.
D. Mueller, pastor, Second and Van
Buren streets.
A feature on the program for the
week will be a patriotic meeting which
will be in, charge of a patriotic COM
mittee. The patriotic rally will be one
of the largest and best meetings on
the entire weeks program. The Rev.
f. D. Mueller serves as chairman for
the patriotic committee and today an
nounced that the patriotic meeting,
which will be held in Memorial hall on
October 10, will offer the drawing at
fractions of addresses by Governor
the University of Kansas, and Prof.

Despite the fact that many members
of the synod are actively engaged in
war work, both here and abroad, the
annual convention is expected to be
one of the largest and best the Luth-
eran synod has ever had. Changing
conditions felt thruout all industries
are felt in the religious field as well and
a large amount of work and new
measures to be considered and the
discard of other features which have
outgrown their usefulness will make
the meeting one of sufficient impor-
tance to insure the attendance of every
member of the synod who can possibly
desert his other duties in order to

Mid-season turban of tobacco brown
panne velvet, with it's crown sur
rounded by smoke balls of taupe-
colored ostrich feathers. There is a
visor to this turban which makes it
quite becoming.
1t takes only a slight demand from
the masses to bring a fashion into
strong popularity, and this recrudes-
cence of the ostrich feather, coming
as it did, thru a rather romantic con-
dition, thru the eternal call of human
nature that rises to the surface when
ever opportunity makes it strong
enough, became a certainty.
The prophets knew it would spread
over the world. The reporters fore
told it. Here we are in the thick of
it. There are ostrich feathers from
the head. They are used as fringe, as
rosettes, as flat embroidery, and of
course in their natural place, on the
hat.
The turbans of the hour rejoice in
these feathers. The large hats take
them on as old and dear friends. When
the feather is not used>straight, it is
twisted, and tur--d, and tortured into
capricious shapes to catch the coin
of those who do not care for the
plume as 1t grows.
The Turban Between Seasons.
1t is the ostrich feather on the tur-
ban that causes us to pause. Since the
days of Henri Quatre it has not been
a popular device, but because draped
turbans are considered extremely
smart for between seasons, and be-
cause ostrich feathers have returned,
the m;lliners decided to combine them.
The sketch shows a draped turban
OF brown panne velvet with taupe-
colored ostrich feathers arranged in
fluffs and puffs like the explosive
smoke from a shell. This turban has
a straight visor across the eyes, which
is in keeping with the demand for a
caplike effect over the forehead. 1t
gives the turban certain distinguish
ed appearance and makes it becoming
to the majority of women.
