MOTHERS AND K1DDIEs' HOME
Provident Association Secures G. G.
Gage Home for Purpose.

Many mothers who are working to
support their children will be provided
with comfortable quarters and many
little children who have never had a
playground will be allowed to play in
a big shady yard as a result of the
renting of the G. G. Gage home at
Fourth and Van Buren, streets by the
Topeka Provident association.
The Gage home. the property of
Stormont hospital, will be painted, re-
papered and screened and arranged in
suites of two or three rooms each, to
accommodate at least five families of
mothers and children, it was an
nounced by Mrs. Darlene Newly, sec
rotary of the association. A reason
able rent will be paid by those who oc-
cupy the rooms, more reasonable than
can be obtained elsewhere.
The rental of the property is a step
toward the Provident associations am
bition to provide suitable quarters for
such mothers and children, Mrs.
Newly said.
A large garden already has been
planted on the site, Mrs. Newly said.
Mrs. Earl Williams and Mrs. Otto
Cutler, members of the Provident as
ISOLATION board, are working to raise
funds for putting the place in order
for the mothers and children. The
Gage home is only a short distance
from the day nursery, conducted by

BETTER TO FORGET THAN WRITE
Wife Granted Divorce from Husband
Who Kept a Diary.

TT is better to forget everything
than to put some things down in a
diary"
That was the remark today by Judge
George H Whitcomb of the second di-
vision of the district court, when he
granted Mrs. Pearl Glenn d divorce
from her husband, David Glenn, and
ordered the husband to pay $12 a
week for the support of the children.
You just can't get away from the
writing that appears in a diary" said
Judge Whitcomb when he ruled
against Glenn who wanted the divorce
and the custody of the children.
In { hotly contested divorce trial
during the first of the week. Glenn
accused his wife of intimacy with SOL
diers and with other indiscretions. But
there was nothing in writing against
her in the testimony offered.
On the other hand, Mrs. Glenn IN
some way obtained diary which she
claimed her husband wrote in which
it was alleged he told of-intimacy with
other women and jotted down obscene
stories and other things. Hence the
ruling in favor of the wife this morn
ing by Judge Whitcomb.

JEWS POSITIONS CELEBRATION.


The big Jewish celebration to have
been held in Topeka Monday in honor
of the return of Palestine to the Jews
has been postponed for several weeks.
according to Ike Gilberg. Gilberg said
the inability to obtain several speakers
scheduled TO appear here has caused
the delay.
The work of arranging removal of
Hebrews from the famine stricken
European countries and taking them
TO Palestine, where they may be cared
for is taking the time of the Jewish
leaders, Gilberg says. The initial
steps of this work soon will be com
pleted and the system worked out in
such way that leaders will have time
left for other endeavors. A similar
celebration to have been held in Gal
weston has been postponed for the
same reasons, Gilberg says.
No date has been set for the post
poned celebration. It will not be an
nounced until it is definitely known
when the desired speakers can be Sc
cured.

Appearing as a witness before the
senate committee. Hoover declared
state regulation of labor troubles was
impra ctical and that the solution lay
largely in acceptance of collective bar
gaining. He asserted that the kansas
labor court law was a worthy expert
ment, but compared it with the Aus
tralian law which he said was imprac-
teal The Kansas, law was not framed
after provisions of the Australian act.

talks to the bankers in Kansas City

FEW FLOWERS FOR DECORATION
Severe Spring Has Made House Variety
Necessary Memorial Day.

Decoration day with no materials
with which to decorate is the predic-
ton of E. F. A. Reinisch, superintend-
ent OF the Topeka park system The
continued cold weather this spring,
coupled with the Easter freeze. was
the cause of the hitherto unheard of
situation, Reinisch said today.
The lilacs which are usually album
dant at this time of the year, were alb
solutely killed by the late freeze as
were the snowballs and other early
blooms. 1t is probable, according to
Reinisch, that there may be a few Iris
and perhaps few peonies by
Memorial day. but unless the present
cold weather changes practically all
the graves that are decorated May 80
and 81 will be decorated with house
plans or greenhouse products.

Had 1t Bodied,
NolD They Want
Their Hair Back

London. May 15.-The fashion of
cutting women's hair short is waning.
and scores of short haired women are
searching West end hairdressing shops
for locks with which to replace those
of which they were shorn a few
months ago when the "bobbing'' craze
was at its height. This has created an
abnormal demand for hair of all
colors. Possessors of rich auburn or
pure white locks of suitable length can
obtain $12 or SIS by submitting to the
"bobbing' operation.
There is some irony in the fact that
many London women who paid five
or six shill'ngs a few months ago to
have their hair ''bobbed" and left the
tresses with the hair dresser. not know
ing they might have received money
Tor them, are now spending anxious
hours in other shops in an often futile
matching up" endeavor.
