The art department of the Kansas
Free Fair has been allotted the en-
tire south wall of the Art and Mer-
camille building this year. Hereto
fore, the east ten or fifteen feet of that
wall has been given to other exhibits
or concessions. The south half of the
west wall will also be allotted to the
art department as at former fairs.
Among the educational institutions
which will be represented in the COL
lege and school division of the art de-
partment are: The State university,
Lawrence; the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, Manhattan. and Bethany
and Washburn colleges. Topeka. The
exhibits from some of these institu-
tTons are already on hand. Many
high schools in various parts of KAN
sas are also expected to exhibit.
There is much interest in applied
art at the present time. Interior deco
rating and costume designing are now
being taught in a thoro manner both
at the State university and at the State
Agricultural college and it is said that
the classes are well attended. The
high schools and even the graded
schools of the state have also taken
up the work in a more or less COM
plete manner.
It is said that Miss Araminta Hol-
man, instructor in art at the State
Agricultural college, has sent to the
fair a striking and original exhibit of
costume designing, the work of her

cred in the light of an impossible
dream. We> hope there may rise
someone who will point the way to an
understanding whereby all wars shall
cease
At the dedication of the Pont Roose-
welt, spanning the Marine at Chateau
Thierry, Past Commander D'Olier de-
clared that while the service men,
by reason of their participation in the
world war, could not be termed pacif-
lists, they represent the type of average
citizen who always pay the price of
war and as such they should lead in
impressing upon the nations public
leaders the lesson that war does not
pay. war between nations is as use
less and as senseless as duelling be-
tween individuals" he said. I'VE
hope that our leaders will so conduct
our nation that wars in the future
will be buried in that same deep grave
with duelling.''

Proverbs, End Chapter LIST to 9Th Verses.
Ny son, if thou wilt receive my words,
and hide my commandments, with thee;

liftest up thy voice for understanding,
If thou seekest her as silver, and search

Then shalt thou understand the fear Of

For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understand

He layeth up sound wisdom for the

walk uprightly.
He keepeth the paths of judgment and
preserveth the way of his saints.
Then shalt thou understand righteous

90, it's nice to get up in the morn
ing. but it's nicer to lie in bed!'
That's what the faces of the ma
jority of Topekans who board an early
morning car seem to say.
They all have their special seats-
these early risers, and anyone who so
much as dares to trespass on their
property is rewarded with a dirty
look.
There's the man who always walks
g.Egerly clear to the front seat, takes
off his hat and pulls the morning
dper out of his pocket. First he
glances al the weather forecast.-per-
haps to see how it will be for golfi:ig.

love-sick youth. But a glance would

dawn of the morning after" He had
chosen a seat on the sunny side,-but
why let little thing like that worry
him. He could pull down the blind,
but he didn't think of that. He. too,

Of Highways total exceeded by only
one other state in the union. Texas,
according to NJ. w. Watson, state
highway engineer.
Good road advocates have dreamed
OF day when a complete system of
paved highways will traverse the
state. Altho this vision is far from
realization. approximately 500 miles
of hard-surfaced roads have actually
under construction and 200 additional
miles have been approved for con-
struction at an early date. Most of
this work has been made possible by
federal aid.
Car for Every Six Persons.
Every person in the state. it has
been pointed out before, can go riding
in Kansas-owned automobiles at the
same time. The ratio is now about
one motor vehicle for every six per-
sons. According to the latest avail
able statistics, compiled in 1918, only
four other states surpass Kansas in
number of motor cars in proportion
| to population.
This year for the first time separate
| licenses have been required for motor
trucks. Officials of the automobile IL
cense division of the secretary of
states office have been surprised to
| find that eight out of every 100 motor
vehicles in the state are trucks. 1t
had been estimated that the total for
the state might reach 10000. But il

type. These lines are always in the
same place in the spectrum and indi-
cate the presence of certain elements
in the source of the light or in the at
mosphere surrounding it. The lines
are known as the Fraunhofer lines.
1t was discovered by John Doppler
that while these lines were very nearly
always in the same place, there were
times when they shifted slightly to-
ward the red end. and at other times
toward the violet end. Laboratory
experiments showed when the source
of light approached the observer, the
lines shifted toward the violet and
when it receded, the opposite result
was had. Movement at right angles
to the line of sight showed no dis
placement.
But Wen Still Chase Cars.
So far, so good. But Einstein has
used in his theory what is known as
the Lorent equation which postulates
the contraction of a body in ratio to
its speed. This means a foreshorten-
ing of a light ray from a luminous
point, If that point is moving toward
u.s. It further means a 1engthening
of that same ray if the luminous point
is moving away from US. This short
ening and frightening will be further
augmented if we too are in motion,
and we always are As a consequence,
statements of distance, time, size, ETC.,
are subject to error simply because
we cannot, or have not, taken into ac-
count, the difference in distance and
time traversed by a ray whose source
is moving from US and toward which
we are moving and the same rays
time and distance where we and the
luminous point are stationary. This
decrease and increase in length of
wave might produce the Doppler eff
feet but that has not been shown
SUPPLEMENTARY nor, as the Swiss pro-
fessor puts it, has the contrary been
shown"
Briefly, the relatively theory is
simply speculative natural philosophy,
mathematical in nature. which pre-
cludes the possibility of absolute meas
urements of time and distance with
our ordinary methods of measurement.
1t holds, also, that our standards of
measurement in all things are not the
same as might be used on any other
planet, or in any other solar system
or other universe. Very probably that
is so, but the genus homo will still
make frantic burst of speed in an
effort to catch the last car in spite of
the fact that his speed will make him
relatively shorter and thus increase
the distance between him and the car.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

Reservations for the national con-
vention of the women's auxiliary of
the American Legion to be held stimuli
taneously with the Legion's national
convention, will be made thru depart
ment headquarters of the auxiliary.
and then forwarded to the same COM
mittee in Kansas City which handles
reservations for the Legion. This
method is to be followed in all cases,
excepting where the Legion sends in
the number of reservations, including
Legionaires and members of the aux
Hilary.
With a goal of 10000 Kansas wom-
en- present at the convention, the aux
Hilary department headquarters has is
sued many bulletins urging Bachelor
Posts to organize auxiliary units.
Out of a total number of 34S Kansas
Legion posts, there are 16S which do
not have units. Literature. showing
and explaining what unparalleled
service a unit gives to the Legion and
to disabled "buddies," as well as to
the community, has been sent out to
the Bachelor Posts" in an effort to
organize enough units in Kansas to
make up the quota of 10000 women.
A call to the men of the world who
served in the late war to join now in
another campaign war against war,
was sounded by Franklin D'0lier, for
mer national commander of the
American Legion at Chateau Thierry
on August 26, and earlier in the same
week by John G. Emery, the legion's
present chief, speaking at the unveil-
ing of the French monument to the
A E. F. at F'lirey.
Blood is mixed with the mortar
that holds these stones erect Bayo-
nets beat into trowe1s spread it there
Emery said. Magnificent as this
tribute is and proud as am to behold
it. pray that it may be the last
monument France may ever have
cause to erect to an American soldier.
And by the same token may America
never have cause to raise a shaft to
a French soldier of another war.

Would you keep on going anyway,
or would you advise me not to go any

Something must be wrong with your
personality if most of the people do
not like you. Try to see what is
wrong and correct the faults which
make people turn from you. To begin
with, apply the golden rule and see if
you are doing unto others as you would
have them do unto you. Perhaps you
are bossy and unless you can have
your own way you are not satisfied.
Be more thoughtful of the people
around you and show an interest in
them if you want them to like you.
l would advise you to stay in the club
! and try to make more friends.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: About month
/ ago another boy told a boy friend of
mine who liked me and whom l liked
exceedingly well something about me
| that he did not like. How can | get
him to like me again? HELEN.
| Do not try to make him like you.
If he loses interest in you simply be-
| cause he hears something, it is not
your place to try to keep him. Forget
about him and make new friends.
