From the birth of Eve

And a woman's a woman
Though old or young
And she just WILL
Have her way.
They have called them
Cats

And "foulers," y
Unfair at sport a~.
And play.
Centuries of progress
Have given them this

They are coming =
Right into their OWL
With careers

They've mastered
Good breeding
And etiquette.
AS artists they're wonders.
They suffer in silence
And smile through pain
But they can't learn
To observe

She kicked and bit
And gouged and scratched
And tore down
Pretty tresses of

the road will be built from the eastern
line OF Neosho. county to Chanute.

No Dirt Road Aid.
No dirt roads in eastern counties

commission ruled. 1t denied an appli-
cation of Atchison county boosters
who sought aid for a system of dirt
roads. The Atchison delegation pro-
posed to build a strip of ten or twenty
miles of permanent roads. The re-

dirt.
Under the ruling of the commission,
no federal aid will go to eastern coun-
ties in the building of dirt roads. A

WORLD NEWS SUMMARY
Associated Press Review OF Peace
Table Developments, and OF Pa-
IiticaI and Military Situation.
lRu the Associated Press.l

There is reason to believe, according to
advices from Paris, that the council OF TOUR
will reach a decision by Thursday as TO
the reply that will be made to the German
counter proposals to the terms Of peace.
Allied EXPERTS are at work on the reply and
meetings are being held in Paris today
for the purpose of drafting memoranda TO
be submitted to the council OF -FOUR. II Is
probable this work is well under way.
Premier Clemenceau is understood to
maintain firmly that there can De no I'M
portant changes in the clauses OF the treaty
to which the Germans have entered their
strongest objections. There are intimations,
however, of a strong undercurrent OF sent
ment to meet the German offer OF defl-
mite sum of 10000 900 900 marks (S2o,o0O,
O0C OOOl as indemnity instead OF the IN
determinate sum that might be demanded
under the terms as presented. 1t also seems
possible that the clauses OF the pact relat-
ing to Silesia may be modfied so tnaI
Germany would be able to receive supplles
of grain, coal and other commodities in
spite of the transfer to Poland OIL SOW
eTeignty of that region.
That the Germans have not said their
last word in Directing to phases of the
treaty is Indicated by a memorandum
which has been drafted at Versailles by
German experts, who seek to refute ailied
charges as to the guilt Of Germany ior
the war This memorandum Will, II is
said be presented as n reply to the report
made by the inter-allied commission on
responsibility for the conflict.
The supreme economic council has ap-
pointed a committee to study plan Tor
the liquidation of the worlds food control
and to devise plans to meet the problems
that will arise after the coming harvest.
Dispatches from Paris state that after
the signing of the peace treaty the United
States cannot legally participate in the
control Of food supplies. and Herbert I;
Hoover chairman of the fnterallied 1000
commission, is said to beileve thnt tne
business can be handled thru regular

BOY SCOUT WEEK
Mayor Corwine Named To Conduct
$4,000 Campaign Here.


Following the reading of an an
nouncement by w. o. Rigby, this
noon at the Chamber of Commerce
to the effect that the president of the
United States has recommended that
the period beginning Sunday. June 8,
to Flag Day, June IA, be observed as
Boy Scout week. Mayor Corwine was
chosen by unanimous consent OF the
members to serve as a director of the
campaign.
The announcement is carried on the
letter head of the American Red Cross
and Is issued from the office of AL
fred Fairbank, acting manager OF the
southwest division at st. Louis. The
presidents proclamation is the first
notification that g. nationwide cam
paign is TO be instigated.
The purpose is to secure a million
associate members of the national
council; to secure a definite recogni-
ton of the effective service rendered
by the Boy Scouts: and to make a
survey of facts relating to the boyhood
of each community in order that with
the cooperation of churches, schools
and other organizations adequate pro-
vision may be made for extending the
Boy Scout program to a larger pro-
portion of American boyhood.
The national campaign is being or
ganized under the leadership of Will
liam G. McAdoo. The organization
will be similar to the one that handled
the Red Cross war fund and member
ship campaigns. They intend to eff
feet a special committee in each COM
munity. 1t is believed that many Red
Cross workers will offer their services
in pushing the campaign.
Topeka will be asked to raise 49,
900. The Topeka committee is COM
posed of Mayor Corwine, c. S. Elliott,
Frank Beck and Cecil Howes.
