Who Said Men
s. S. Workers
We're TSiSSies ,?

That Sunday school work is man
size work and that the Kansas State
Sunday School association is a several
hundred anpower organization is
evident by a glance over the city
auditorium at any of the general ses-
sions of the fifty-fifth annual con-
vention of that body which began in
Topeka this morning.
A least half and probably more
than half of the delegates to the meet
ing are men, even casual observation
shows. Those whose think that being
active in Sunday school work is 'wo-
mans job" are disillusioned when they
see the many red-blooded masculine
Kansans who are present at the Sun
day school convention sessions. Many
OF the men are superintendents Of
Sunday schools, others are teachers of
classes but many are merely mem
beros af Sunday school classes whose
interest in the work has earned them
the honor of being delegates to the
state convention.

New York. May 4.-Fannie Hurst,
noted writer, celebrated today the
fifth anniversary of her marriage to
jacques S. Danielson, pianist and COM
poser, by telling the world of the
union, which previously was kept a
secret.
Miss Hurst said she and her hus-
band decided to keep the affair a Sc
cret, to try out marriage for a year
and at the end of that period go quiet
ly apart, should the venture prove a
liability instead of an asset"
Miss Hurst said she was firmly of
the opinion that nine out of ten al
liances I saw about me were merely
sordid endurance tests overgrown with
the fungi of familiarity and con-
tempt
Her marriage, Miss Hurst said. was
the working out. of a problem of the
highly specialized needs of two pro-

inclination and by appointment"

Admitted Ere e
To Legion ShotD

The American Legion carnival,
which opened here Monday night, has
invited the newsboys to be its guests
Friday night. At that time the news
venders of The State Journal and the
Daily Capital will be admitted free
and will attend in a body. The In
dustrial school boys also will be in
vited. 1t will be a great night for the
gang"
Small boys were the chief worry of
the employees of the athletic show at
the Rice & Dorman carnival Monday
night. They evinced such great in
terest and such a lack of funds that
several holes were punched in the tent
wall that obstructed their vision.
In spite of the threatening weather.
the opening show of the carnival was
well attended. 1t is larger and has
more attractions than the average. al
tho many of the shows are familiar
to Topekans. A baby monkey excited
much interest and laughter on the
part of the children.
The merry -go-round, the whip and
all the usual freaks, sideshows and
profusion. The water carnival is good
and the diving acts are commendable.
No performances are given in the af-
ternoons, except on Saturday.

Publications, was still well in the lead

carnival The total number of votes

The choice of Abilene as the loca-
ton for the state office was partly be-
cause of its convenience for ]. H. En-
gle of Abilene, general secretary of
the association, who has held that Of
flee for tWenty-four years. Because Of
his energetic and faithful service to
the organization for such a long per-
iod, the association will give Engle
and his family a trip to the interna-
tionaI Sunday school convention in
of his property in Abilene and it is
possible to change the location of the
state offices without discommoding
the general secretary. who will remain
in Europe for three months.
The success of Topeka in obtaining
the offices of the state Sunday school
body will depend largely upon the Co
operation of the local Chamber of
Commerce. it is understood.
May Increase Budget.
Another important question before
the convention concerns the annual
budget of the association. The average
yearly budget has been $4,000, but it
is thought advisable by many officials
and members to make it $4,000 for
this year.
1t is understood that Rev. Frank G.

Until now the rebels have succeeded

Notwithstanding the rapid progress
the rebels have made, however, there
has been nothing in the reports re-
ceived here that has caused American
officers to believe Carranza will be
forced to surrender or run for a con-
siderable period of time. An increased
restriction of his zone of operations
was regarded as not unlikely thru the
cutting of all his lines of communica-
