Only immediate relatives of the
bride and bridegroom and a few intf-
mate friends were present. The Rev.
Samuel B. Anderson of the Presbyter-
ian church read the marriage service.
The bride wore a gown of white crepe

The romantic attachment of the
youthful commissioner and his chief
clerk dates back to the time when
Topeka was fighting influenza with
Commissioner McGiffert as head of
the city health department and ajor
general in the fight The service of
Miss Lowe as right hand assistant to
the commissioner led him to make
her his secretary more than two years
ago, a position she held until Fri

same time found a sympathy of in
terest increasing until it eliminated
in today's event.
Mrs. McGiffert has lived in Topeka
practically all her life. In addition to
her work with the city park commits
sioner, she has been corresponding
secretary for the city planning board.
Recently her capability in her work
led the city commissioners to appoint
her chief clerk in the park depart
ment. She is unusually capable in
executive work and an attractive girl
of pleasing personality.
Commissioner McGiffert so won the
interest and gratitude of Topeka thru
his service in the marine corps in the
war, where he had a brilliant record,
costing him serious and permanent
personal injury, that he was elected
city commissioner of parks and public
property in the first election following
the war, and last April he was re-

Topeka PLANES TOO SPEEDY
Longren Machines Ruled Out of All

Concordia. Kan, Aug. 13.-Because
of their greater speed the two Lon
gren airplanes that were entered in
the aero meet were ruled out of all
of the racing events except the free
for-all that was to be held this after
noon. Other aviators, driving heav-
Ter planes, objected to having to go
against the Longren machines from
Topeka after they saw them perform
in the altitude contests in which they
took first and second prizes.
However, a special race was ar
ranged between the Longren baby
and the Laird Swallow from Wichita
and the little Topeka machine fin
ished far in the lead. Also, it was a
favorite for this afternoons free-for-
all.
Indications were that the meet
would close early enough this after
noon for most of the planes to start
for home. The Wichita, Emporia and
Arkansas City planes were to leave
tonight and the two Longren Ships
hope to get off for Topeka about 4
o'clock. The Nebraska flyers and pi-
lots from other states. however, ex-
pected to stay over until Sunday.

Gentle Boss!e, tired of the humdrnm

have taste of the gay life of the big

even attempted to enter Il street car.

DEFECT IN EXISTING MAPS
That They Are Not Drawn to Uniform
Scale Is Felt to Be an Educa-
tionaI Handicap.

1t has long been the dream of geog
raphers to make series of maps of
the world on uniform scale. Indeed,
it is considered unfortunate for school
children that the Biographies do not
show all countries by maps on
single uniform scale, for unless
student observes very carefully the
figures showing the scale Of each map
or the figures showing the area of the
country mapped he is likely to get the
which are generally mapped on a
small scale, are smaller than those
with which he is most familiar. Take
Australia, for example: The maps in
the Biographies now used In most Of
our schools show II ON small scale
about one third as large as that used
fer the map of the United States; yet
Australia is In fact, nearly as large
as the United States--only about one
fortieth (23a per cent? smaller. China
is generally shown smaller in area
than the United States, yet it is about
one-third larger.
The work of preparing maps Of the
entire world on uniform scale of one
to one million-that is, maps on which
one unit (any unit-inch, centimeter,
millimeter, etc. represents one million
like units On the ground-has been
under way for several years, and the
United States geological survey, De-
partment Of the Interior, has made
considerable progress in its work on
the parts Of this map that were as
signed to the United States. The
principle used in preparing these
maps, If adopted by the publishers of
school books, will give the children ac.
curate impressions of the relative
sizes of the countries Of the world.
