SOME CHANGE EASILY.
A long time ago, back in my home
town, I used to know a girl and she
was a right decent sort of little thing
with lots of curly hair and dimples and
smiles and good looks and was a clever
one thing about everything she did.
She was a hard worker among her
friends, was always ready for a party
or a dance or a swim or anything and
every one thought that some day she
would grow up and be fine lady and
marry some good boy and he would be
so proud of her as a real sort of a
wife.
But the other day I met her, right
here in Topeka as she was changing
from one depot to another and she
was headed to the far west, where
they do things in a hurry and 1 was
so surprised could hardly talk to her
for she was full of paint and funny hair
doings adorned her head and she was
dressed in such a loud sort of way
and 1 did manage to speak to her.
And she said:

CITIZENSHIP IS
 TAUGHT WOMEN WICHITA SCHOOL
Non-Partisan League Working to Instruct Woman Voter in
 Use of National Ballot

WICHITA, Kan, Feb. "A citizen ship school was held at Wichita one week in January, under the auspices of the League of Women Voters, with Miss Marie Ames of St. Louis, as re- gional director.
 Three Functions
 Gray-haired grandmothers from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma attended with stub pencils and notebooks. The walls were hung with muslin charts upon which were printed representations of types Of government.
 "The school had three functions, '' said Miss Ames, "to teach the wom- en the use of the political machinery of the United States, the correct us- age of parliamentary law and how to make public speeches"
 Problem of Illiterary
 The aim of the citizenship school is to secure more intelligent citizen ship, more efficient elections and high CT political ideas, together with meas ures to protect women in industry. Intensive training in the citizenship schools in preceding the national suf- frage convention to be held in Feb ruary in Chicago.
 Illiteracy is one of the big prob lens the women believe should re- ceive attention. This problem, they say, has existed for a century and has grown bigger and blacker and more menacing each year. Political par ties have evaded this question, the women charge. They hope to create such a widespread demand for the needed correction of this i'll that each political party will adopt the move ment and make that aif a part of its platform and campaign.
 Is Not Partisan The League of Women Voters is a lon-partisan affair. Republican and Democratic women alike sat side by side at the Wichita school.

Old Childhood Game Borrowed
 For Grown-Ups

One phase of an evenings pleasure on St. valentines Day may be a game borrowed from the book of childhood It might be called an Identification contest. At any rate the guests must find articles placed about room to define certain questions or phases pre- sented to them by the hostess.
 Identify With Hearts
 Preparation for this requires se lection of articles placed in the room. each with a red heart pasted upon 1t. When the guests are started on their hunt. armed with paper upon which are listed the questions, they are told that everything in the room which is adorned with a red heart is an answer to one of the questions.
 The one who correctly answers the greatest number of these questions may be given an award-a tiny Cupid doll. or a miniature bow and arrow wound with strips of red and gold tissue paper.
 Suggested List
 Suggested questions and answers to start the list may be:
 Something taken from you before you have it-a photograph.
 An antique-an old fashioned flat iron.
 A gift from Bermuda-an onion.
 A striking resemblance-a mirror. Always out at night-a candle.
 Loved by none-an alarm clock. We part to meet again-a pair of opened scissors.
 Memories of other days-a 1919 cal endar.

 Sings Praises of Beet Sugar

That shrewd housewife. who holds pinch of sugar on Ter finger tips, then nibbles q crystal and cries out against that "cheat of grocerH who sold her beet sugar when she ordered cane, talks through her hat, in the opinion of the United States govern ment
 Literally there is not one atoms difference in beet sugar and cane su- gar, according to the department of agricultures sugar bulletin prepared by Mrs. Mary Hinman Abel, sugar ex- pert.
 By no chemical test can pure, crystalliZed sugar from the beet and from the cane be distinguished says Mrs. Abel. There is a popular i'm precision to the contrary, however, and it is often asserted that beet sugar has less sweetening power or that fruits preserved in it do not keep well, but this can only be true of specimens that have been improp- erly purified"
 Crystal for crystal and pound for pound beet sugar and cane sugar have the same sweetening power and food value and identically the same
  taste, the governments experiments show
 The present sugar shortage and the presence on the market of brown su- gars and moist "molasses' sugars has caused the cry to be raised once more that inferior" beet sugar is being sold instead of cane sugar.
 AS a matter of fact, experts say, these brown sugars are for the most part of cane extraction and are quite as wholesome as the white sugars. Their color il due to the presence of caramel, which is burnt sugar. always extracted by machinery and chemicals from first-grade sugars.
 More than one-half the total amount of sugar used in the United States is produced from sugar beets and 1t has been predicted that sooner or later almost all sugar will be ob tained from this source.

 Stress is being laid by the depart ment on attempts to standardize cloth rather than to limit styles for reduc- ing the prices of clothing. A uni form would not be feasible to advo- cate, as it is not expected that wo- men would take to it readily Put if the number of weaves is reduced production of yardage will increase. it is argued. and this will tend 10 lower prices of cloth, and ready-made clothes.
 Miss Strauss endorses a bill intro duced by Representative Rainey re- gently requiring that the Dercentage of materials be stamped on outside of all woven fabrics shipped in inter state commerce. in order to decrease the amount of low-grade' fabrics of- fered to the trade at nigh prices.
