meet the "one" girl, you will have a
hard time convincing her of your love

Eighteenth-Don't be jolly good :
fellow, willing to 60 out on all kinds
of parties. Think twice before you sc-
cept, and then go home and read by the

more often.
Twentieth--If you keep steady com

D ECENTLY In this column there
~ were printed twenty rules for an
ideal girl drawn up by ten regular fell
lows and addressed to this column.
Here is very original answer. One
regular girl" turns around and builds
an ideal man. Now boys Il is your
turn to see IL you measure up.
The rules come from II. G. F., who
attends girls college. They follow:
The set Of dos and don'ts printed for
girls by ten real live" young men
might be used as a girls creed" They
are well thought out, and IL is easily
seen that the ten young men had the
interest Of the girls at heart. But
have you ever thought of the ideal man
Read the following rules" and see
where you stand:
First--Don't think that looks count
everything; master your looks. don't
be slave to them. A genial smile and
a decent disposition mean more to a
real girl than the fashion plate" dear.
Second-Be neat and tidy dress your
hair well, but don't slick 1t down with
oil, and if you must raise a mustache.
don't wax it. Be natural looking, not
an advertisement.
Third-Don't have a cigarette con

''little god Nicotine.''
Fourth-Never give camoufage
name to girl, for sooner or later you
are likely to be eating your own words.
Fifth-Never try to make, q girl jeal-
GUS; she is likely to beat you at the
game.
Sixth-Treat girl fair. If you like
her, say 50; if you don't, reserve your
opinion.
Seventh-Be able to talk about cur =
rent topics, but don't rave over some
thing you know nothing about. Don't
try to put up the 'big bluff"
TIGHTH-Dress well, but not Hashy !;
IL wear good ties, but not loud ones /;
don't wear striped collars.
Ninth-If you are standing on the
street, don't stare at a girl as she
passes by.
Tenth-Keep your head up when you
walk. Don't slouch with your hands in
your pockets.
Eleventh-If you can't talk without
pulling off jokes. you had better keeT
quiet. If you "kid" too much, watch
out-you might be the goat.
Twelfth-If you don't know how tc

nights until you get the hang of it,, ther

Using Camera Upside Down

Photographers are sometimes con-
fronted by distractions in the line of
view which would give no trouble if the
camera could be operated a few feet
higher up. This difficulty has gener
ally to be faced when working in a
crowd. where there is no opportunity of
mounting to higher location. and
under such conditions it is handy to
have a camera with its mechanism Sc
constructed that it can be used upside
down. The operator locates his subject
in the finder by holding the camera over
his head.-Popular Mechanics.

tally try to figure how in the world you
are going to press your clothes and iron
the blouse you dare not trust to the

has nothing to do with circumventing
landladies. but it does deal with new
kind of ironing board that can be dis
guised. Let your conscience be your
guide. The board, about the size of the
regular ironing board, is made of
aluminium, which you know retains the
heat. There comes with it white bag
which fits over it snugly and forms the
cover. When not in use the ironing
board folds in the middle and fits into
the bag, which can be hung in the
closet. This should be a splendid space
saver for the woman who has a small
apartment. And. oh yes, when folded
it could be carried in a suitcase if you
are travelling.

been left in Kansas for the winter.
After the strike was called German
decided to pay his family a visit.
He arrived home the day before
Thanksgiving to find his wife and
babies actually cold in their home.
He went out and tried to get some
coal, but found none. Then came
the Governors call, and Friday
morning he went to some friends,
arranged for them to take care Of
his family and then took a train
for Topeka.
"My first duty is to my country
and the people who are suffering
from cold," German told Governor
Allen. "I'll go into the pits. And
I'll go as an American citizen, with
out being bound to any organiza-
tjon." He reached into his pocket
and pulled out q cardcase, extracted
q card showing him to be in good
standing with the United Mine
Workers Of America and tore it up.
Guy Gascoigne, a member of
union in Topeka for eighteen years,
did not tear up his union card, but
was one of the first to volunteer.
"My allegiance to the state and the
nation is above any union affilia-
tions," he declared.
There were three steam shovel
crews near Kansas City. They were
not working because of the bad
weather and knew that there would
not be steady work for considerable
part of the winter. The men went
in body to their foreman and told
him they were going to help Gov
ernor Allen dig some coal, for they
knew of the suffering among their
own friends and neighbors and
wanted to help.
"Why don't you take the shovels
along? They might use them down
there" said the foreman as he
wished them good luck and prepared
to join them.
The men then went to the company
officials for whom they were work
ing, explained what they intended to
do and asked if the company would
not lend the three big shovels if the
state needed them. The manager of
the company turned to a telephone,
called the Governor by long distance
and in a few minutes had arranged
for his men to join the volunteers
and for the Governor to use the
steam shovels if he could find place
| for them. The company arranged to

men which had been building state
highway near Lawrence sent it's fore
man to the telephone to call up the
Governor and tell him the thirty
men, who had spent months on out
door road work, were ready to leave
on the first train.
John M. Miller, farmer, and his
two sons walked into the Governors
Office.
"When do we start?" asked Miller.
"We left the youngest boy and two
girls at home to run the farm and
feed the stock and we are ready to
go down and help dig some COAL"

less quarrels in the making of
which they have had no part.
The people of this state are
interested, of course, that Just
and equitable settlement shall be
reached between the coal miners
and the coal operators, but they
see no reason why the industrial
activity of the state should cease
and its very life be threatened
while two parties at interest
blcker over the distribution of
human necessity which forms the
basis of their trafficking.
THE people know that this is
not In any sense strike-breaking
enterprise. 1t is not intended to
affect the adjustment of the issues
between the miners and the oper-
ators. But once and for all it
must be understood that the
powers of the state now sum-
moned into action for the protec-
ton of its people are above and
beyond those of any association
or organization, whether of capt.
tai or of individuals.
Coupled with the appeal was the
call for 1000 volunteers to man the
strip pits. Only experienced men
can mine coal in the deep. shafts.
But the strip pits are great open
places where the upper strata of
soil and rock have been stripped off
with steam shovels, leaving the bed
of coal, from two to four feet thick,
open and ready .for the dynamite
charges which break it up. Then
the big shovels come back and load
the coal into cars. There are fifteen
of these mines in Kansas. The only
skilled labor required is that for the
steam shovels, a fireman, engineer,
crane man and five helpers. All the
other labor required about the pits
is such as can be provided by COM
mon, hard-WOrkng men.
'We do not want Office men or
those unused to hard, outdoor labor
with picks and shovels," said the
Governor. owe want husky young
Americans who are not afraid to
work, chaps who can stand the most
gruelling sort Of manual labor in
the worst kind Of weather, and keep
at it. The sort of lads who built
roads, dug trenches and constructed
dugouts in the rain and snow and
cold and under shell fire in France
a year ago are the very best sort
of chaps to save thousands Of
women and children from suffering
and horrible death. They are the
lads we are looking for"
New-York tribune., 1919-12-07
Bows From the Trenches

Two days later Governor Allen
looked over the application cards of
the volunteers. Real tears came into
his eyes as he said:
"Gee, aren't they a bully lot! I
knew lot Of these boys in France,
and l knew they would not fail the
cries of the innocent sufferers in
this state. The spirit of chivalry
and true Americanism is still ram
pant in this state"
For within thirty-six hours after
he had issued his appeal Governor
Allen had more than four times as
many men as he wanted, many more
than he could possibly use. They
came from everywhere in Kansas
and few from outside the state.
They came, ex-scrvice men, from the
farms, the shops, the industrial
plants, the railroads, the offices,
schools-from everywhere that a
whole-s -souled, hard-working, honest
American lived. They came, not by
tens, but by hundreds. The state
was actually swamped by the num-
bers of men able to do the work and
willing to go into the coal pits.
For a few hours the Governor
and the receivers were worried be-
cause of the big steam shovels.
These machines are very expensive
and are the equal in size ard ca
racity Of those used by the govern
ment in building the Panama Canal.
To operate the mines successfully
the steam shovels are the key
links. Some coal could be gotten
out, but not nearly enough to supply
the urgent necessities of the state
except with the steam shovels in
full operation. Experienced men
were needed for this.
But the Governor need not have
worried about the skilled labor, for
it came to his call just the same as
the unskilled. Trained men left
good jobs to join the ranks of the
Kansas coal miners, just as they
left their jobs to join the army and
navy a year and two years ago,
when the call Of democracy was at
stake.
In less than forty hours the Gov
ernor had twenty-three complete
shovel crews of eight men each, and
in less than fifty hours they were
OH their way to the coal fields. By
the time the receivers were ready
to operate the mines on three
shift-a-day basis there were more
than enough skilled men to man the
steam shovels for every shift.
4 Unios, Volunteer
New-York tribune., 1919-12-07
By Cecil Howes

DURlNG the short but Oft
times exciting history of
0 Kansas there have been
numerous calls to the men
of the state to fight Indians, floods
and grasshoppers; to clean up the
wrecks of tornadoes and to take care
of tremendous wheat crops that
we're doomed to waste but for the
volunteer efforts Of those unaccus-
toned to that sort of work.
But never in the history of the
state nor of the country has there
been a call for volunteer coal min
ers to get out fuel to prevent suf-
fering among the sick, the babies,
children and women of the state
until Governor Henry ]. Allen is
sued an appeal last week for 1 900
husky young Americans to go into
the strip pits Of the Kansas coal
fields and get out the coal already
exposed.
1t was not q call to break a strike,
but q call to prevent suffering. The
Governor went down into the coal
fields and pleaded with the coal min
ers to dig some coal that there
might not be untold privation and
death among the innocent and de-
fenseless women and children of the
state. He promised the miners every
protection to their interests. The
native Americans among the 10000
miners were willing and ready to
return to work, but the radicals
would not permit them.

Deaf to Tie Pleas

What care we how the public
susfers?' was the reply of the radi-
Gals. The miners have suffered
for years. Let the people suffer a
few weeks and they will force the
operators to come to our terms"
Kansas had to have coal. Many
Industries wee closed, schools had
only scant supply, some hospitals
were without fuel, and thousands of
homes had no coal and could not
get wood to keep the stoves going.
Tie situation was actually the most
desperate that Kansas folks had
ever faced.
50 Governor Allen determined to
test the manhood of the state and
get the coal. First, he went to the
Supreme Court and took the mines
away from the owners, having re-
ccivers appointed for all the coal
mines in the state. Clarence Sam
pie, Mayor of Fort Scott and a
banker, and Ben S. Gaitskill, a law
yer, were named as the receivers,
and they took charge of all the
mines.
On Thanksgiving Day Governor
Allen issued his appeal for men.
This appeal said:
''It is the duty of government,
and it has the inherent power, to
protect The people whose welfare
is dependent upon it. Facing a
desperate situation, through a
stoppagc Of coal production at the
beginning of winter, government
in Kansas is brought to the pass
of using all it's powers to protect
the people whose suffering will
be unspeakable unless relief is
afforded. If government is to
mean anything, then it's obliga-
tion is to prevent innocent people
from becoming the victims of q
fuel famine which, in the course
of events, is both unnatural and
unnecessary.
Every department Of human
life is bound up in this issue.
Every industry and private occu-
patton which government is or
ganized to support is affected by
it, and the challenge Of those who
would bring upon us this catas-
trophe is a challenge to govern
ment. So far as Kansas is con-
cerned, government is gong W
accept the challenge. For this
sole purpose we are asking for
volunteers whose service we will
accept as rapidly as mining opera
tions can be increased. The duty
to which these men are volunteer
ing is hard labor, but they are
accepting it willingly out Of their
recognition of call as patriotic
as any that has brought men into
service. 1t is the age-old obliga-
ton of just government to pro-
tecs the innocent against the ruth

for the first contingent. The same
plan Of selection was followed at
the University Of Kansas and the
State Normal School. The entire
football squad of the university,
numbering more than thirty husky
young chaps, was the first to volun-
teer from the institution. They
signed the enrolment blanks during
the period between the first and
second halves of the annual Kan
sas-Missouri Thanksgiving Day
game, when they were told that the
Governor was going to appeal for
help.
The faculties of the University,
Agricultural College, Normal School
and Baker University, a Methodist
college, all arranged to give full
credits to those who volunteered
their services to the Governor.
There were two groups Of work
ers who needed to have experience,
! in addition to the steam shovel
operators. These were the shot men,
who explode the dynamite that
breaks up the coal, and the cooks
needed to prepare the food for the
workers. There was no trouble get
ting the cooks, for ex-army cooks
by the score volunteered their ser
vices, and enough were secured to
take care of the food for all the
workers. Men experienced in load
ing the charges and in firing dyna-
mite came to the Governor in large
numbers, and he had two or three
times as many experienced shot men
as were needed. The majority of
those who failed to get listed as ex-
perienced shot men enrolled as COM
mon laborers. Several experienced
shot firers in deep shaft coal mines
offered their services. These men
use black powder in firing the
charges that break down the coal in
deep shaft mining, but they knew
nothing of the handling of the dyna-
mite used in pit mining.
Included in the list of volunteers
were more than a score Of expert
enced shaft miners who had quit
mining. Most Of them had gone or
farms and were hardened to out.
door work in severe weather
These men were allowed to enroll
as their services may come in handy
when the deep shafts are opened
even if they are not useful except
as common laborers for strip mining
Most of them had been union men,
but had allowed their membership
to lapse.
