parations were declared in political
circles today to be entirely unaccep
table. 1t was said the new proposals
did not diffsre materially from those
submitted at the London conference.
Paris, April 81 (By The Asso-

proposals on reparations, as trans
mitted to President Harding at Wash

and the French ambassador to the
United States, NJ. Jusserand, has been
notified to this effect The proposals
are characterized by government Of
ficials as a step backward" and arc
declared to give no promise Of a salts
factory settlement.
The general feeling is that occupa-
ton of the Ruhr region of Germany
is unavoidable, but it is believed in
some circles barely possible that in
some way the Berlin government may
be made to understand thru Wash

and tho. essential fact that no pro-

government unless based on the Paris

The statement also says with re-

aid"
Regarding his veto OF the bill cstab-
fishing branch of tho state agricul-
tural college at Rifle, tho governor
said:
The experience Of other states in
cssibhsning branch agricultural

France Adopts Khaki.

There used 10 be time when all military
uniforms were, i not necessarily things OF
beauty, at least garments of undoubted con-
sp!cuousness. Bright colors. gaudy trimmings
and brass buttons were thought Indispensable
and in the matter of gorgeousness private
was not greatly inferior to a field marshal
The wearing of such a uniform was one of the
strongest incentives to enlistment where voIun-
tary service obtained and one OF the compen-
sations of service where the service was
compulsory.
How far military science with its coIGIv
calculating ways has triumphed over the
psychology of seIf-adornment is seen in the
decision Of the French war council TO clothe
the armies of France in the khaki and olive
drab with which America is familiar. This
will not be done at once. because, first, the
stacks of horizon blue must be used up and
that will take 10~years But at the end of
that time there will not be to a superficial view
great deal of difference between the French
British and American uniforms
That unbeautiful shade known generally as
khaki. resulted from the decision of military
experts that it is more important for troops in
the field to be inconspicuous than to be pie
turesque. A soldier clad in olive drab lying
fiat in field or on a hillside is almost in
visible at few hundred yards. company
OF soldiers blends into the landscape so that
it is impossible to tell from a distance how
many OF them there are. The German field
gray and the French horizon blue were de-
vised for the same purposes. but the expert
ence of the war showed that neither is so
effcacious as khaki

Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Relief is in sight for the man who loves
corn beef and cabbage and desires the priv
ilege OF smoking in the house For we are
told by those who write for the household
pages and the magazines that old-fashioned
meals are coming into vogue again and that
corned beef and cabbage and pork and beans
will once more become standard articles on
the average bill of fare. In other words. we
are coming back to the simplicity of former
days, and when We go into a restaurant we
shall not have to engage the services of an
interpreter to get something to eat and will
know what it is before get it.
The explanation is very simple and is set
forth by the president of the Western Gamers
association, who says that the war ruined th-
palates of considerable segment of the peo-
pie, because they had so much money thew
learned to eat all sorts OF foolish things He
now predicts a return OF sanity and includes
among the first items TO return as corned beef
and cabbage and pork and beans aforesaid
Perhaps the best thing that could, happen 10
the country would be to get back TO that basis
The national pocketbook is back to that stage
now

although greatly diminished. still twice as pow
erfuI as those of the United States, making
demands that the United States would not be
in position to resist.
However the Washington conference may
be expected to go farther than promises. Ma
tions subscribing to armament limitations Will
be- or should be, enrolled in a covenant that
will forestal any future armed clashes between
nations Lessening OF ornaments will reduce
the possibility OF war. And with the posi-
bility of war lessened il is easier for nations To
get along together.
Secretary Hughes has made an excellent
start as the spokesman of the United States,
whose people are for peace first of all, and VINO
are willing to take in every other nation in the
world in a plan than will insure the future
harmony of the world Manifesty, it is the
purpose OF the United States representatives TO
go all the way in affording opportunity TO the
other powers to clear up the future and TO cut
off the staggering debts that are faced now
by reason of the enormous naval programs
II the conference fails it will not be the fault
OF the United States. And if it does fail the
people OF the United States are numerous
enough and rich enough to keep afoat a navy
that will not have to run away from any other
States does not propose to in any way imperil
its position through any concessions that it
may make at the Washington conference. 1t
will go just a. Tar as its neighbors, but no
farther.

Mrs. George Gould.

The life of Mrs. George Gould. who died
yesterday in New York, afforded happy con-
trast to those of other women of the stage
who married milIionares. Mrs. Gould was
known as one of the most wonderful mothers
in New York She was a member of Augustin
Daly's company when she met Mr.. Gould in
1886. She was a splendid actress. From the
day of hef marriage she turned her mind to
her home and toward helping to shape a happy
career for herself and her husband.
The world knows the history of Mrs. Gould.
There has never been suggestion of discord
or scandal in her life. She was accepted by
New York society and became one OF its ac-
knowledged leaders. But above everything
else she placed her family.
Mrs Gould is good answer TO the thought
that of the stage do not make good
wives and mothers 1t proves that all depends
upon the woman. assuming that she has hus-
band who appreciates her and respects her as
she should be respected as wife and mother
Mrs. Gould was the mother of seven chill
dren. There are also number of grand
children.

LET IN THE LIGHT!
BY RERTON RRAIEY.

Lei in the light, Let the doors be openI
The veil of secrecy must be rent
Or news" will be but fog to grope in,
haze OF gossip and rumor bIent:
Let in the light, there's a whole world dreaming
or burdens lightened, OF peace secure:
Have done. have done with the whispered
scheming
Which leads to ills that We may not cure
Let in the light; let the work be fashioned
SO all things done may be understood;
The world cries out in voice impassioned.
Let in the light for the light is good"
BY secret meetings and plotting quiet
The woes we suffer were brought, about:
Let i'll the light! Shall fail to try ii
And plunge once more into fear and doubt Z?
The light is good-and man will fear it
Whose aims are honest whose plans are
fair;
Only the plotters, the mean Of spirit
Will shrink from under the vivid glare;
These are the days that shall tell us whether
Our future fortune be veal or woe:
The nations rulers are met together
Let in the light that the world may KNOW!

Kansas City's Century.

Charles Phelps Gushing the author of a
booklet in honor OF Kansas City, gives the age
Of that city at 100 years. In 1921 French pio-
neers padded up the Missouri river from St.
Louis and, at its confluence with the Kansas
river. made settlement. The village had in
1855 d population of only AIS, says Mr. Cush-
ing, and it was not until long after the Civil
war that it attained an importance comparable
TO that of Leayenworth, Omaha and St. Joseph.
But its continuity with that tiny French settle
ment gives ground for its claim to be a
centennarian.
Kansas City. as the 1920 census showed, has
a population of $4,000 If include the
part of it that is in Kansas. separated from
Kansas City, Mo, by street and considerable
pride. there is another 100000. 1t happens
to be in Kansas City. Kan, that the packing

tually one except politically, though many who
live the Kansas side of the street called
State Line are loath to concede it TO be SO.
Kansas City is especially proud of the fact
that in volume of bank clearings it ranks fifth
among American cities.
Long before there Libraries in town
planning Kansas City had drawn up an ambi-
tious project for parks. Fairgrounds, pIazzas
and bouleVards. The plan was carried out and
elaborated upon, so that the city today is
eQualed by few others in sucn facilities The
entire town the whole has improved its
century Of existence especially the latter part
of it. and has deserved its growth. Kansas City
has Set up an example in municipal foresight
that may well be followed by other cities

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
The Rahy's Right.

My baby is months old. Is u
all right to feed him matted milk
and fresh milk at the same time,
or should l give him only one kind
at a time? Is matted milk as
healthful for babies as fresh milk
MRS. W. A.
Answer-If fresh milk is within
your means, and some sacrifice
should be made if necessary for
the baby's sake, by all means give
the baby fresh milk.
Hair Dye Is All Right.
After 80 is deadline for a. stenog-
rapher. When we pass that age. if
we ever do. we might as well be
dead. l want to hang on as long
as / can. but, alas. white hair makes
no hit with the zippy business man
today He is partial to golden
blondes and chestnut browns, and
th e shorter the skirt the longer the
paycheck. I'm not joking The
big business man seems to prefer
cute little girls about him. espe-
ciaIly if his wife is a big woman
I've thought of dyeing my hair. but
folks tell me all dyes are full of
sugar OF lead. K. J. M.
Answer-It is quite right to dye
your hair if you wish. Only a few
dyes contain lead and of course
should be avoided Hair dyeing is
not entirely satisfactory even in
skilled hands. but better entrust
the job to an old experienced hair
dresser.
