Another attractive feature in the
plan is the building of driveways thru
the grounds.
The tract of ground is being divided
off into lots of fifty foot frontage,
large enough to erect a summer house.
1t is expected that between $50 and
200 of these houses will be built this
spring and summer.
The site of the summer resort is on
the Kaw river, due south of Kiro, and
is considered as one of the best loca-
lions in Shawnee county for a camp
ing ground. On the camp site is
splendid bathing beach, plenty of good
fishing and an abundance of shade
trees.
The summer resort will be officially
opened within the next two weeks,
according to an announcement today

THESE BABIES NEED CLOTHES
Red Cross Chapter Asked to Make
Dresses for European Children

Red Cross Chapter Asked to Make
Dresses for European Children.
Here is a job that ought to appeal
to the women of Topeka. The local
Red Cross chapter has been asked to
make clothing for babies. Thousands
of infants in central and eastern Eu-
rope are actually naked. and there is
no way to clothe them, even in the
swaddling apparel of Biblical fame.
Old gunny sacks form the only
means of keeping these little Euro
peans. ushered into an unkind world
which is starving. disease stricken and
dependent upon the Red Cross for aid.
Mrs. J. G. Leopold. in charge of the
Red Cross work roouo at Pelletier's,
has issued an appeal that ought to
reach the hearts of every mother in
Topeka. Mothers who have children
of their own know how important it is
to properly clothe the little folks.
Just think how sad are the homes
across the sea, where the newest ar
rival can only be wrapped in old sacks
or papers," said Mrs. Leopold. THE
Red Cross must help or these little
babes will perish. We really owe
them something in the way of COM
fort. so long as we have so many lux
uries of our own"

lieves that every mother who knows
of the vital need for finishing these
clothes will help a part of the time.

IN SPECIAL CAR
Fifteen Prisoners Will Be
Taken to State RefOrmatOry.
One of Largest COnsignments
Ever Made From Here.

Topeka will contribute fifteen more
inmates to the Kansas state industrial
refoTmatory at Hutchinson tomorrow.
Sheriff Robert Miller has chartered
a special car from the Santa Fe to
carry the prisoners and their guards
to Hutchinson. The present consign-
ment of prisoners is one of the largest
ever taken from Shawnee county at
one time. The fact that the reforma-
tory has been quarantined on account
of smallpox for the last six weeks is
partially responsible for the large
number of prisoners now waiting to
begin their sentences.
Many Ask Parole for Youths.
Conspicuous among the prisoners
who will leave Topeka tomorrow are
William Perry and Lewis Taylor, sons
of prominent Topeka families. The
youths pleaded guilty to holding up
and robbing the Long Oil filling sta
ton on West Tenth avenue several
months ago. Nearly 100 letters ad-
dressed to Judge George H. Whit
comb by prominent Topeka business
men failed to obtain a parole for them,
however and a parole also was refused
by Governor Allen when the matter
was checked up to him April 5. The
boys were sentenced to serve not more
than five years.
Walter Curtis, Virgil Helm and
Mark JiIlson, the youths who accom-
pished the $4,000 jewelry robbery
from the Rock Island depot, will be
among those to go to Hutchinson to-
morrow. Curtis was arrested here by
Sheriff Miller. Jillson returned and
gave himself up at the request of his
father. Helm. who was night baggage
man at the Rock Island, was arrested
in Colorado. They were sentenced to
terms not exceeding seven years in the
reformatory.

was voted by the Piney Branch
citizens Association at a meeting
in the Iowa Methodist Episcopal

The District Commissioners were
ordered yesterday by Justice Bailey,
IN Equity Court, to appear next
Friday and show cause why they
should not be restrained from pro-

building for tubercular pupils at
Fourteenth and Upshur streets

Complaint was made by Charles

property owners, whose land lies
in the area bounded by Upshur and

The court was informed that the
Commissioners are without author
ity to erect the school in this VI
cinity, as Congress has not desig-
mated any particular location. The
Upshur street tract, lit is claimed,
has already been designated by
Congress solely for a tubercular
