TO Be FIRST CONSTITUTION
viii BE Submitted to Washburn
College Faculty Today.

The first constitution ever written
for Washburn college is ready for
submission to the college faculty to-
day. The need is felt for a specific
constitution. after the college affairs
have been guided by tradition, for
many years, and committee APP
pointed several weeks ago, composed
of two representatives of the college
executive board. two faculty members,
and two alumni members, framed the
written document to be submitted to-
day.
The chief object OF the newly writ
ten document is to allow the faculty a
greater part in the administration OF
the business affairs of the college and
to insure faculty members greater
permanency of position.
Before it can be adopted. the con-
stitution must have the approval of
the faculty. the board of trustees and
a representa- ton of alumni
New ideas in the government of the
college as. contained in the constitu-
ton include two committees which
shall act as intermediary bodies be-
tween the. faculty, the president and
the board of trustees: that the general
council should be composed CT deans
of departments and elective members
of the faculty equal to the number of
deans; a welfare council to consist OF
the president. three members of the
board of trustees and three members
of the general faculty.
Dismissal of faculty members,
which the new constitution says may
be made only by the board of trus-
tees on the recommendation of the
president after conference with the
general council, is not final until a
hearing is given the faculty member
whom it is desired to dismiss.
Extended notice OF intended dis
n1issal must be giveh TO faculty menu
bers, according TO the following clause
in the tentative constitution:
Except in of grave moral de-
! llnquency. notice of dismissal TO teachers
! on indefinite tenure shall be given at leu st
| six months before the close ~ the academic
/ year, and in the case of teachers who hav"
served in the institution for a period oc
4 I'VE years one years notice shall be given. .

Dorothy Dix Talks

BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Weman WFiter

Do you remember how, in Peter
Pan, Maud Adams would come down
: to the footlights and in that thrilling
voice of hers ask, DO you believe in
fairies?" And the whole house would
shout back at her: "Yes."
A belief in fairies is a very beauti-
full and lovely thing, and an agreeable
and innocuous pastime if INDUCED in
for an hour or so occasionally in the
twilight, but it becomes a very dan
gerous and mischievous faith if one
tries to make working proposition
of it.
And this is what women do. Ninety
nine per cent of the women in the
world still believe in fairies, and they
are sitting around waiting for their
fairy godmother to come along and
pull off some more Cinderella stuff,
and change their pumpkins into
! linousines, and their hand-me-downs
into Paris CONNECTIONS. and transport
them from their own gas ranges TO
scenes of princely splendor.
And they expect all of this change
TO come about thru some touch OF
magic wand, and without calling upon
them for any labor or effort
Now the days of magic are not past
Many a woman who began life as
kitchen drudge passes on TO riches
and splendor There are still fairies
and fairy godmothers. and conJure'
but they work in a different way IN
these times. and We call them by dif-
ferent names. The other name OF tne
good fairy used to be Luck. Now we
call her Pluck.
Nowadays a woman does not have
to sit around wishing for good fairy
All she has to do is to get up and De
her own good fairy. Let's see aoou'
it.
The first thing that the forlorn
maiden used to ask her fairy god
mother for was beauty, and i'm
mediately the ugly duckling was
turned into a beautiful swan. Her
carroty hair became golden. her pug
nose straight. her sallow complexion
bloomed with lilies and roses, and her
snaEgled teeth were converted into
pearls. Some miracle!f
The modern woman can practically
work this same metam orphosis in
herself whenever she chooses. She
can give light and lustre to hair By
brushing it. She can make over heI
complexion and her figure by diet and
exercise, and a lovely set of teeth are
simply a secret between her and heI
dentist.
Moreover, a woman's looks are
largely a. matter of clothes. Any
! a
dream in white chiffon; and whai
/ shade, color and line will camouflage
in the way of defects is beyond all
human guessing.
The second gift that the distraii
| maiden asked of her fairy gcdmother
was a husband. Probably a good
many girls think that a young woman
still needs the aid Of some good, strong
magic spell to enable her to catch g
man and lead him to the altar in these
days when tbs husband supply is sc
| far beloT par.
Not so. The girl who wants tC
marry is still her own best match
maker, but she must depend upor
herself, and get out and look up the
| kind of a man she wants. instead oil

thumbs waiting for the fairy prince tc

From Washington it is reported
that approximately 5000 cooperative
consumers societies are operating
thruout the country in an effort to
beat the high cost of living. Handling
food commodities in bulk, the societies
do gain for their members the advan-
tages of wholesale prices, but they are
not a final solution of the cost of liv-
ing problem. Wholesale prices in
crease, even as the retail prices do. de-
spite cooperative buying and distri-
button. The only permanent cure for
high prices is to be found in INCREASED
production, not merely Of food prod
ucts, but of all necessities, for high
prices in some lines OF commodities
cannot fail to have an influence on
prices in other lines.

The chamber of commerce OF the
state of New York, at a special meet
ing last week. appointed a committee
on public welfare to organize the peo-
pie to protect the public interest in
case of future strikes. Three hundred
and fifty prominent business men
pledged themselves to support the
plan. The committee has in charge
the perfecting of a plan whereby the
public may, by volunteer service AID
in maintaining the transportation OF
passengers. food and fuel. and in as
sisting the duly constituted authorities
in preserving law and order. Thus is
laid the foundation of a volunteer
army vastly more necessary and i'm
bortant to the country than an army
equipped with guns. Defenders of the
country are unnecessary unless we
have something to defend.

lovely home Of our own with maids to
wait upon us-I would ask her to visit
us again. There had been many really
fine things about her; some of them
had scarcely noticed while she was
with US. but they came to me after
ward when 1 was reminded again and
again of her.
She had darned all our stockings

cared for Roberts clothes in way /

not know how. She had been more
than kind when either of US felt indis-

Republican leaders in the east ap-
pear to be starting a back-fire against
Johnson by proposing Knox for the
Chicago nomination. The selection of
either one probably would be equiva-
lent to throwing away the election.
Both are good men but lack elements
of general popularity and popularity
counts for more in a campaign than
it did in years gone by. The voters
do not rally to the party banner as
once they did. They demand that the
candidate shall measure up TO certain
standards which they establish. They
DO longer vote "as they shot" and not
always as they shout.
