WEATHER


days. Temperatures in Montana this
morning were higher than they were
in Kansas. At Helena the tempera-
ture was 46 degrees, and at Havre.
where on Tuesday morning it was
degrees below zero, the Thermometer
stood at 3S degrees this morning.
The sky is clear from Topeka to San
Francisco on the west, and to Ohio on
the east. No rain or snow has been
reported in the state during the past
twenty-four hours, and there is no
prospect of rain in the next twenty
four hours in Kansas.
The lowest temperature in Kansas

ed from Goodland and also from
Dodge City. The lowest in the United

on the list for consideration. The
house also had in its possession the
concurrent resolution from the senate
providing for resubmission of the
proposed amendment to classify prop
erty taxation. All of the tax meas
ures before the present session have
been slaughtered. In consequence,
the resolution which is a part of the
governors program seemingly had
slight chance to win the "a supporters
which is the necessary three-fourths
house vote.
Bills by the house agricultural COM
mittee providing for a state scale test
ing car and defining new duties and
powers of the state grain inspector
stood well at the foot of the senate
calendar The Hasty bill to compel
registration of party affiiiation had
been placed near the foot of the upper
house docket.

Lip Sticks Not Bad
Pastors Wives Told

Chicago, March 16.-The extremes
adopted by the modern girl should
not be judged too harshly, said Mary
Ross Potter, dean of women at North
western university last night at a
meeting of minister's wives.
There is nothing wrong with the
girl of today because she uses a lip
stick and a little rouge and a, dab of
powder" said Dean Potter.
''Of course the dress of the girl of
today-skirtc to knees, almost flimsy
stockings, f1imSy everything-iS not
the dress of mothers generation.
Nevertheless she is sweet and good and
kind at heart, she has an independence
that did not belong to her mothers
day, but such is the spirit of the times.

cording to DR.. Earle G. Brown, city

Both Houses to Clear Calendars
Before Adjournment.
Active Work of Session VIII Be
Disposed of Early.
HARD TO HOLD QUORUM
Chief Interest Is Centered In
Governors Appointments.
Several Appropriation Bills Are
Up For Action.

Kansas legislators are going home
tonight. Calendars in both houses
have been virtually cleaned of impor-
tant bills. Active work of the session
will be concluded early. But confer
ences may hold the law makers in
session long into the night.
One serious trouble today-always
the problem in the dosing hours of
a state legislature-is the holding of
a quorum to support conference re-
ports in the house. In the senate the
lines have been held together and the
only delays in the upper house to-
night may be in efforts of senate Of
ricers to find the members when rolls
are called. The session is due to end
at IL o'clock tonight. The exact time
of adjournment will be determined
only in the success of house and sem
ate conferees in ironing out differ
ences of the two bodies.
Say They Will Not Yield.
House members who showed their
teeth in Tuesdays session when they
cut big gashes in the public utilities
appropriation bill, today declared they
would not yield to senate demands to
restore the items. They are also in a
fretful mood regarding the consolida-
tion bill which spent the night in the
senate committee. Should the senate
committee report the bill before ad-
Journment, the upper house is almost
certain to inject several amendments
Such course will send the bill to
conference and much difficulty may
be encountered in securing it's final
passage.
1t is quite probable that revision
committees in both houses may rec
ommend the striking of number of
bills from the calendar sometime dur
ing the days proceedings. With the
decks cleared the legislators will be
at ease pending conference reports
and may engage in their biennial waste
basket duels. Many of the members,
tho, are anxious to go home and their
thoughts are of time tables rather
than the frivolous proceedings which
usually mark the closing of a state
legislature.
Interest In Appointments.
Chief interest of legislators today
centered in the governors appoint
ments. Nearly a dozen names were
due to reach the senate for confirma-
tion. The appointments include posi-
tions on the industrial court, public
utilities commission, state tax commits
sion, state board of administration,
bank commissioner, fire marshal, oil
inspector, warden of the penitentiary
and member of the state highway
commission. Much legislative COM
ment has been occasioned by virtue
of Governor Aliens course in holding
up appointments until the final day
of the legislative session. 1t was be-
cause of this action, perhaps, that
many of the stories neutrality-suspicious.
age deals became current.
Several Appropriation Bills.
Several appropriation bills were on
the calendar when the house met this
morning. The banking board bill and
the child research measure were also
