SHAWLS and FANS
Romance Turks in Collection
Shown Recently at A. A. Robin
son Home.

Shawls and fans stand for romance
and stories and history. They are the
sort of things that are handed down
from generation to generation and are
among the keepsakiest of possessions.
The display OF these at the recent
exhibit at the A. A. Robinson home in
Topeka was most interesting. A long
table draped with filmy lace scarfs
was covered with old and beautiful
fans. There were fans with carved
ivory and gold inlaid ivory handles,
fans with mother of pearl handles
and with paintings in the style of
Vatican. There were fans dating
from the time of Louis XIV, Louis
XIV, Louis XVI. There were colonial
fans and Chinese fans and fans of
wonderful point lace. Such tales of
beauty and gaiety and romance as
seemed folded in their fragile ex-
panse.
The billiard room was hung with
shawls, most of them of silk with
heavy embr oidery in beautiful color
ings. There were red shawls, and blue
shawls, purple ones and white ones
and delicate shaw1s of rose and pink.
There was one with a design of roses
and leaves made entirely of French
knots done by hand. Most of the
shawls are owned by Mrs. Robinson
or by Mrs. Till McKercher and were
collected in Mexico. But some of
them are from the Orient

ARMS and THE MAN"
Comedy Satire With Clifford Devereux
Here April 2 and 3.

Arms and the Man" the great
comedy satire by George Bernard
Shaw has been produced on the stage
in many variations, but when Clifford
Devereux and his company produce it
at the Grand, April and 5, it will be
seen in it's undiluted form just as
Shaw wrote it.
The play in its musical version is
better known as THE Chocolate Sol
der" and produced as a straight COM
edy. it is equally popular. Opening
with a scene of powerful dramatic
force. it develops into some of the
cleverest and liveliest comedy written.
The play as produced by the De-
vereux company has a charming touch
and a compelling force to it, that
makes i: at once, one of the popular
plays OF the repertoire of the COM
pany. Mr. Devereux's Characterization
of Bluntchli, and Miss Zinita Crafts
Rama are clever interpretations. The
play is carried out with a vigor that is
unusual. Nobody should miss seeing
the play and understanding the great
Shaw's attitude on militarism.

QUIT The FIGHT
Kansas Educators Won't OPP
pose Miss Wooster's Election.
Will Not Put Candidate in Field
at Primaries.
LOW SALARY IS OBSTACLE
Can't Get Teachers to Make
Sacrifice, Says j. o. Hall.
Opinion That Miss Wooster Is
Unqualified Unchanged, Tho.

Kansas educators will abandon their
efforts to place a candidate in the
field against Miss Lorraine E. Woos-
ter, state superintendent of public
instruction. The teachers will not,
however. change their opinion that
Miss Wooster misrepresents the pro-
fession and does not possess the quail
ties of real educational leadership.
That was the statement today by ]. o.
Hall of Hutchinson, prominent state
educator.
Hall was a member of a special
committee appointed when the educa-
tional council met here several weeks
ago. The committee was named to
select candidate whom the teachers
might support in opposition to Miss
Wooster. Because of the low salary
paid by the state, none of the educa-
tors were willing to make the sacri-
flee. consequently the fight to de-
feat Miss Wooster in the August state
wide primaries will probably be aban-
doned, altho there is clearly no change
in the attitude of the state educators.
Halls Statement.
In a formal statement today, Hall
said:
so far as the school people of the state
are concerned, there will be no candidate
in the Republican primaries in August
| intendent of public instruction in Kansas.
This does not mean that the school peo-
pie, or even any considerable number of
them, are satisfied with the present ad-
, ministration of the state department. In
fact, 1t appears that nearly all the school
| people of the state are very much dissatis
fled with present conditions The low SAL
airy paid in the office appears to be the
| sole reason for the fact that no educational
| leader of the state aspires to the office
in these times of high cost of living.
AT mass meeting of educational lead
| ers In Topeka at the time of the educa-
tional council meeting last January a COM
mittee representing first and second class
cities, third class cities rural schools, state
| educational institutions, and class room
teachers was selected to canvass the field
! intenoent. In response to a very insistent
1 demand from all parts of the state that an
educational leader willing to make the
| necessary financial sacrifice involved in
taking the office of state superintendent
| be found, the committee has made careful
canvass OF the situation. The committee
! felt that its responsibility to the educa =
/ tional interests of the state would not per-
NIT II to urge any one except real edu-
cational leader to enter the race. Each
person approached would have to make a
large sacrifice in salary to take the office
! of state superintendent Each one felt
! that such a sacrifice was too much for one
person to make, and declined to become
candidate for the place. Under the cir
| cumstances the school people will not put q
1 candidate in the field, but will hope that
| the salary sufficiently attractive that some
person possessing qualities of real educa-
! tional leadership will be willing to take
! the office
