TOBACCO ROW UP
State Board of Education Hears Com
plants Against Miss King.

! Members of the state board of edu-
cation are today hearing complaints
against Julia B. King. secretary, whose
removal was recently demanded by
Lorraine E. Wooster state superin-
tendent of public instruction. Manda-
mus proceedings to compel Miss
Wooster to sign Miss Kings salary
vouchers are now pending in the
Shawnee county district court. s- =
Some time ago Miss Wooster sought
to remove Miss King from office. She
refused to eyacuate. The job pleased
her very well and she declined to bow
to demands of the state superin-
tendent. Then Miss Wooster refused
to sign her vouchers and asked the
state board to remove her from office
The voucher trouble landed in the
courts and a petition asks that Miss
Wooster personally pay Miss King s
attorneys a $1,000 fee for their SER
vices, in addition to the amount said
to be due Miss King for salary.
Trouble between Miss Wooster and
Miss King started last spring. 1t is
reported that Miss Wooster started a
fight on F. L. Pinet. secretary of the
Kansas state teachers association.
Her fight was based on Pinet's alleged
use of tobacco. When Miss Wooster
enlisted the support OF Miss King in
her fight. she is said to have received
rather frosty response. In cQnse-
quence, so Miss King alleges, her job
was demanded.
The state board may conclude the
taking of testimony late this after
noon

THE TEMPLE CITIES OF
JAPAN

Many feet have been treading their
way to the shrines in the temple cities
OF Japan in recent months.
In the temples of Tokyo many bits
Of American pocket money went to a
priest for writing pretty prayer on
a Slip of paper, which the visitor, in
true pilgrim fashion, pressed to his
forehead and to his breast and then
fastened to the temple wall in order
that 1t. might be a perpetual petition.
There are 10000 deities to whom de-
vout Japanese write, so a few Amer
leans pleas scarcely clogged the ce-
lestial postal service.
There were many native pilgrims on
the way to the shrines. During the
summer months when the crops have
been taken care of, the village folk,
though they have the temples of their
own patron deity and the fox god, feel
that they must send out a pilgrim or
two to the sacred mountains and holy
places of Japan to worship in behalf
OF those who cannot go, and so they
provide q fund for his expenses.
Nor does the emissary travel in
state. Life for him loses most of it's
complexities. He is equipped with a
cheap white cotton shirt that can be
easily washed, tight-fitting trousers
and a loose white cotton jacket which
he tucks in with a girdle. He wears
an enormous broad, stiff straw hat,
and on his back he carries a piece of
mating which serves him as an UNI
brella by day and as a bed by night.
He carries his luggage in two bundles,
one on his back and the other in front,
usually labeled with the name of the
shrine he is to visit, and somewhere
about his person there is hung a little
bell which tinkles as he stumps along
over the weary road from mountain
to mountain.
In August the pilgrim rolls off his
mat and the visitor from foreign lands
climbs out of bed at the crack OF
dawn to hear the lotus flower bloom
for the buds burst with a pleasing
characteristic sound.
If Nikko is the most beautiful city
in Japan, Kyoto can be called the mos
interesting. Here the feminine visitor
finds herself bewildered by the mos
exquisitely wrought of all the exquis
ite pottery, cloisonne, bronzes, fans
and velvets. After she has bough
more than she can comfortably ge1
home with, she probably will want tt

HOW SUGAR MADE CUBA
A WORLD Ell DORADO

Sugar, like shoes, we once took for
granted. But procuring enough for
the preserving season was a problem
and sugar "speak easies" are still not
uncommon in lands where the supply
is rationed.
Writing to the National Geographic
society, William Joseph Showalter
says:
with a sugar production nearly
doubled and prices more than quad
rupled since 1912, one can readily see
why Cuba is the worlds Ell Dorado Of
1920, and why sugar is its king.
"The imagination is almost over
powered in attempting to comprehend
the vast proportions of the sugar in
dustry Of the island as it exists this
year.
"The cane produced is Of such tre-
mendous volume that a procession Of
bull teams four abreast, reaching
around the earth, would be required
to move it. The crop would suffice to
build a solid wall around the entire
two thousand miles of the islands
coast line as high as an ordinary dwell
ing house and thick enough for a file
of four men to walk abreast on it.

BIRDS HAVE YANKEE ACCENT
Londoners Complain That Imported
Parrots Are Spelling the Pronun-
citation of Their Fellows.

The American accent has invaded
even the parrot house at the geological
gardens here, according to a London
correspondent of the Detroit News.
A large consignment Of birds has
arrived from America. Many have
names that suggest cocktails. Hither-
to scientists may have doubted the
ability of cockatoos to acquire a rec
ognizable accent, but two Of these
birds fresh from the New York zoo
speak unmistakable American.
They ask repeatedly for "clam
oysters on half shell" and beg their
amused visitors for hominy or Cali
fornia peanuts. Sometimes in an out
burst of patriotism they repeat "Cali-
fornfa" until it would appear that it Is
the only word in their vocabulary. And
now a very small green parrot in the
cage next door is trying to say
California" too.
A disguised keeper stands outside
his cage saying London, London,
London" but the small green parrot
does not seem to admire his accent so
much as that of his feathered trans
atlantic friends.
