SECOND HONORS TO KANSAS
Minnesota First State With Carload OF
Corn for Near East.


Minnesota has taken first honors in
the initial shipment of a carload or
corn for the suffering and supplicat-
ing thousands in the Russian Cauca-
sus and Armenia, according to an
nouncements made today by the Ma
tional Near East Relief administra
ton. The first car of corn, donated
by the farmers, was shipped from Ed
gerton, Mimi; to the Quaker Oat
Mills, Cedar Rapids, where it will be
made into foodstuffs for the destitute
in the stricken countries.
Kansas claims second honors with
the shipment of two carloads from
Holton, Jackson county, this week.
Five million bushels of grain is
needed as a minimum relief for the
prevention OF wholesale famine thru
out the Caucasus and Armenian area.
Charles V. Vickery, national secretary
of the Near East Relief, who has just
come out of Armenia.
The farmers of the United States
volunteered five million bushels of
grain to the cause. Only one million
bushels has been handled to date. Mil
lions more are needed.
The Near East Relief organization
has been perfected. it is operated with
rigid economy and hearty co-opera-
ton on the part of mills, elevators and
state in this nation is rallying to the
assistance of the suffering.
Altho America is still struggling
against the high cost of living. her
people are not actually dying for want
of food and the generosity of the
farmers is depended upon to save the
Bible lands to the world.

MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

Topeka motorists are agitated
about the pickup last night of
scores of their number on the
charge of violating traffic laws
with bright lights.
Motorists are the ones to suffer
from glaring headlights. of course.
and they have no appeal in this
case, bat, in-most instances, they
are innocent o. the charges against
them. Thousands of dollars are
spent annually In Topeka by motor
car owners who purchase what is
marketed to them as legal lenses.
Then to be arrested and subjected
to fine because they have been put
to needless expense is agitating.
The city should make some per-
manent and lasting decision on
what is needed in lenses and the
dealers instructed to make their
sales accordingly. Illegal lenses
should be Illegal to sell as well as
to use on the streets.
The average motorist reRlizes the
disadvantages of bright fights. He.
not the pedestrian. usually suffers
from accidents caused by the glare
of motor bulbs. Very few cars
/ have been operated in Topeka with
plain glass lenses-practically ev-
cry car is equipped with some
sort of a lense that is advertised as
within the law.
Driving without some sort of n
headlight on Topeka's rough pave
ments is a dangerous undertaking
and motorists cannot be blamed
for throwing all the light possible
on the highway ahead of them.
But they do demand some sort of
an understanding. They don't
relish thu idea Of a regiment of pa
trolmen holding them up on street
intersections while their residences
are in danger OF the wave of bur-
glaries.
Police activity is to be commend
ed in all traffic vioiations-espec-
tally speeding-but the average hu-
man being wants to know how 10
obey a law before he is faced with
danger of disobeyance.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s--At the be-

there is no limit 20 their gorgeous
ness
Not only the richest and most or
nate OF materials are used In shoes
but the length 10 which ornamental
ton is carried reaches a fantastic
mark
. The sandal is still the most popu-
lar form with the low cut sides and
the insted strap running up the cen
ter OF the foot and Joining the en-
circling strap or straps.
Brocades OF metal cloth are espe-
clally IN vogue and steel bead en-
broiderles We with the most elabo-
rate gowns.
Period shoes are popular and the
high -tongued. square toes OF the
Louis XIV period may be seen In
cloth OF gold with big paste buckles.
Heels OF contrasting colors and
heels into which jewels are embed
ded. are extremely popular for eve-
ming wear
The street shoe is also lOw-even
unto the sandal point.
II looks as though It IS going 20
be a bad winter for the high shoe.
Spats will completely eliminate the
high shoe Aiong smaS dressers.
In street shoes a particularly good
model is the two-straped pump
with modified toe and low heel For
those who insist upon oxfords. a
model Of patent leather Is good. The
strapped shoe. however, even for
sports wear. is the most popular.
