Little Hard Surfaeing Will Be
Done in Kansas This Year.

struction that requires brick or &C.

Watson. state highway engineer, an
nounced recently that the commission
would confine its efforts in the main
for the rest of this year to dirt road
work, bridges and cuIverts. Gravel
roads. and some macadam road in a
few counties, will be constructed, and
the present jobs completed as far as
possible.
The experience at the recent letting
in Hutchinson for Reno county hard
roads put the finishing touches to the
extensive plans for hard road con-
struction in Kansas this year. No bids
were obtained because the brick and
cement men couldn't promise deliy-
cries at all, nor fix any definite prices
for their products. Another letting in
Reno county will be held April Is at
Hutchinson for culverts and earth
work only. Other lettings advertised
for April are:

A AHousehold
Help In
Toys

Did you ever stop to think OF
realize that your children's toys,
playthings and play habits represent
a definite household help'
Some mothers have grasped this
idea and so developed it by careful
selection and guidance that their
children--partiicalarly their girls
are not only kept from underfoot"
and happily entertained, but are
also advanced rapidly in their rrac-
tical training for adult life's duties
and made really helpful assistants
in the manifold minor duties OF
their own household.
American toy manufacturers
have produced novelties of such real
durability, common sense design and
usually, really artistic appearance,
that the foreign toys have virtually
disappeared from American homes.
This is beneficial because toys are
national to the country of their
manufacture and with American
toys for American children the ideas
taught by such toys are naturally
enough thoroughly American.
In view of the fact that many toys
are made today as they were
thousands of years ago by the
Egyptians. in reproduction of house
hold implements and appurtances,
it requires little thought to be con-
vinced that American mothers can
be really benefited through their
children's playthings, only il those
playthings reflect faithfully the
home and surroundings in which
they live.
When a mother teaches her little
girl to love and care for her doll,
that doll becomes not only play
thing, but a silent teacher of the
child. Bathing it, dressing it and
loving" it teaches sanitation, care.

dresses teaches the important fun

the most widely known thing of its
kind in the whole international field.
ior il has travelled far and wide over
continents and, one might almost
say. hemispheres. visiting large
towns and small and addressing
many nations and peoples in the
universal, though elusive, language
Of pantomime. In addition to that,
it is perhaps the most important bal
let school of the day. By way OF
proof, there emerge brilliantly from
its ranks at the opening of the Amer
lean season two dancers, Miss
Oleneva and Mr.. Stepanoff. whose
work has all those qualities OF aero
batic skill, rhythmic grace and
poetic feeling that are associated
with the dance in its best manifesto
tons. The blossoming forth OF
these two, indeed, may be taken to
indicate that Nine. Pavlowa is de-
veloping the power of her asso-
ciates on the scheme of instruction
which she received from her mast
ers at the old Imperial Ballet OF
Petrosrad, and that she is Just as
Jealous to hand on the traditions, OF
her art to others as she is to display
her own incompatible talents as
premiere.
Nine. Pavlowa, from the time she
originated her company. about ~
wears ago, has kept studiously away
from that type of ballet when
Michel Fokine invented and which
Sergei Daighileff.s as manager, MADE
famous in western Europe ana
America. She no doubt saw at the
outset that this type, which usually
dramatizes some ancient legend ~
a manner at once realistic and
erotesaue, was fundamentally wrong
for her. She must have seen that
distinction for her lay in cultivating
the techn que of step and poise which
she inherited from the 18th century
dancers and in perfecting those float
ing. aerial illusions which she de-
rived from the dancers OF the early
10Th century romantic period. Again,
this artist Of imperial ballet school,
ing has shown slight interest IN
that sort of dancing, introduced ito
the stage by Miss Isadora Duncan,
which Processes to give pictorial IN,
terpretation of a piece of music and
which pretends to revive the meth
DDS of the ancient Greeks, although
she has permitted minor. members
OF her company on occasion to try
what they could do with it. In a
word, she has held firmly to the his
toric viewpoint; and she has sur
vived, while many other. dancers
have had their moment OF applause
and have worn out their welcome
before the public with one expert
ment after another.
