postage stamp, a bit of paper, just
large enough to bear the imprint Of
her MajcStys hust, and covered at the

But the diplomatic ability, and the

MISS YANK SNIPES
French ''MegOttiers'' Reaping
Harvest From Americans.
Pick Up Cigar Stubs and Make
Them Into GMakin's."

Paris, April 2e.-By no one will the
departure of the American soldiers
from Paris be more keenly felt than
by the humble "megottiers'-the
pickers-up of cigar stubs and cigaret
ends. This. has been golden time for
them, and Papa Cinquante." who is
the recognized boss of the trade and
employs some thirty pickers, replies
disdainfully when folks grumble to
him about tho scarcity of tobacco.
There's always tobacco where
Americans are" he says. MY men
follow them up. Fine fellows! They
smoke good stuff, and, what's better,
they just chew their cigars and throw
away half of them. That's where we
gather in our little harvest The quail
ity of my tobacco has gone up several
degrees and he grinned.
Just now business is fine" he went
on. People are beginning to sit out
side the cafes again, and my men pick
up all the flag ends on the sidewalk.
Another squad cleans up the music
hall lounges early in the morning.
People smoke more than ever"
Out in the Latin quarter. Papa Gin
Quante has a drying and sorting shed.
where the cigar stubs are cut up and
made into pipe mixture, and the Gig
garet ends are sifted and turned into
new smokes. He pays from IS cents
to $1.25 a pound for the raw material,
according to quality" he says.

Topeka Parents Do Not Let
Youngster Keep Them Home.
Father and Mother Waltz With
Tot In Arms.
BABY BUGGY WALL FLOWER
Dance Halls May Soon Make
Provision for Infants.
Music Hath Charms To Keep
Them From Crying. -

The dance is not always to the
young. But sometimes It is to the
very young. Topeka parents are now
taking their infants to dances affd
dance halls may soon provide space
for parking baby buggies. Perhaps
nurseries will be provided in which
to place the little ones when they get
sleepy. The soft. swaying tones of the
Beautiful Ohio" or Till We Meet
Again" would quiet the pettishness of
the little ones and they would sleep,
dreaming Of the days to come when
they would dance.
Recently at one of the dances
man danced several numbers with his
wife and baby. The baby was not
dancing, of course, but was riding
contentedly along on the mans arm.
Judging from the expression on the
kiddie's face she was having as much
fun out of dancing as were her pa
rents.
Parents Good Dancers.
It was a waltz the orchestra was.
playing. The father and mother were
beautiful dancers. They were so good
that even on a very crowded floor the
fact that they were carrying the baby
along did not seem to hamper them
at all.
When the baby grows older she.
should be an exceptionally good dance
er if early training counts for any
thing. In the Imperial Russian ball
let's the dancers are practically all
dedicated to the dance from child
hood. They must start young or they
never .develop into the highest attain
ments as dancers. This Topeka little
one is imbibing the spirit of the dance
at an early age. Perfectly contented
she sat on her fathers arm and looked
about the room, watching the other
dancers and probably longing for the
| day when she would be big enough
to have partner and dance also. 3
Make Riddles Good. ro
Altho around most of the dance
| halls there is not much room for baby
buggies. it would seem that the beau-
tiful. soft. lifting sway of the waltz
| music would be most excellent for the
purpose of putting babies to sleep.
| The "steppier'' tunes might disturb
slumbers and cause little feet to start
kicking a bit on the dashboard of the
f, buggy but they might sleep at that.
Then parents who gave up dancing
1 after they were married might come
again to the dances they esteemed SO
highly when they were younger.

Army Again Offers "Opportu-
nifty To See the World"
Recruiting Station Opened Here
Guarantees Good Service.
NAVY ALSO NEEDS RECRUITS
Army Men To Replace Soldiers
Now in France.
Short Term Enlistments Make
Service Attractive.

An opportunity to see the world is
again presented to Topeka young men
by the reopening of the army and
navy recruiting stations here. The
army is now recruiting men for service
in France to relieve the men now
over there, as well as white men for
the infantry, coast artillery, engineers,
signal corps and medical departments
for service in Panama, Hawaii and
the Philippine islands. except that no
infantry will be accepted for Hawaii.
Men for the Philippine department are
for assignment in China.
The navy can now use all the men
available, on account of the increased
need of sailors on transports and cargo
vessels and the thousands of dis
charges to be given men who enlisted
for the duration of the war. The con-
ditions are now such that an appli-
cant's request to be sent to a certain
to be granted. America has the finest
navy in the world. second in size only
to that of Great Britain, and the op-
portunities, it is pointed out, are now
greater than ever for advancement.
Retain Enlisted Men.
Until the troops now in Europe car
be brought safely home, it is probable
that the men who enlisted for the
duration of the war will be retained, II
is said. After that there will be thou
sands of discharges and consequently
| thousands of vacancies that must be
filled up.
Men desiring to go to France will be
guaranteed overseas service, accord
| ing to Sergt. F. Violet, in charge of
the local army recruiting station al
534 Kansas avenue. Previous service
men-that is, men who have been dis
charged from the regular army-may
enlist for a period of one year. but on
this basis overseas service is not GER
| tain, it was explained. Recruiting for
the army has been more brisk in To-
peka than for the navy. The navy
recruiting station, which opened up
three weeks ago on the fifth floor OF
the New England building, has enlist
ed only two men since that time
Peter f. O'Connor. chief boatswain's
| mate, in charge of the office, stated
| today.
Rates of pay in the navy range
from that of apprentice seaman al
| $32 so a month to boilermakers at ST.
| a month. Blacksmiths, firemen, en-
| ginemen, machinists, coppersmiths
and hospital apprentices are among
the trades now open in the navy. The
rate of cents a mile allowed to dis
charged men from the point of dis
charge to point of enlistment has beer
| increased to cents.
Army Needs $4,000 Men.
| AT least 6U,OOO men are needed a
once for the army, it was explained
and there is no limit to the number
| the navy can use. The period durinf
| the closing days of the war when re-
| cruiting for the navy was prohibited
and the long period since the passins
| of the selective service law when nj
| volunteers would be accepted for the
army, are. now over. and the recruit
ing officers believe a large number o.
young men will take advantage of thi
new opportunity to see the world ant
serve their country.
