name to modest flower of purple
color and most delightful odor, that
came from Peru, long. long after the
Greek times. 1t was adopted into
France, and was there called-as we
can readily believe-the Flower of
Love" What the original Hehotrope
was. we do not know with certainty.
The Greek myth is that the sun god
Apollo is loved by Clytia. But Apollo
cares so little for her that he goes
a-wooing a Princess. The Princess
welcomes his advances, and it ends
with deep love on both sides. Clytia
in a fit of jealous anger goes and tells
the King. who furious at the miscon-
duct of his daughter, buries her alive.

You know that mortals may not mate
with the gods, as only great harm
and unhappiness can come of such a
union.
Apollo returns to the heavens with
out so much as a look for the unhappy
CIytia. She is bitterly conscious of
the great evil she has done and falls
to the ground and lies there for nine
days, watching the passing of Apollo
in his chariot and praying for look
of pity. Seeing her wasted with pri-
walton and sorrow. the gods have
mercy and change her into the Hello
trope. She still lies at length upon
the earth and looks towards heaven
with half averted eye, as waiting for
complete forgiveness and acceptance.

Many Estimates Given on
Budget for working Girls.
Amounts Vary From $3.50 to
$3.50 Per Year.
SURVEY BY INDUSTRIAL COURT
Amount Allowed for Stockings
Is Most Important.
Budget of X. s. A. C. Specialists
Is Most Liberal.

How much does it cost to cIothe .
woman properly2
Many answers have been given to
this question in the hearings OF the
Kansas court of industrial relations
preparatory to fixing new minimum
wage standards. The amount varies
from $3.50. suggested by Topeka en-
ployers, to $3.50, the amount proposed
at a mass meeting of Topeka working
girls.
In between these extrexnes there il
TIE estimate OF home economics sps-
cialists at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college that the minimum budget
for woman in business, such as store
clerk, should be $137.63. The wo1n-
ems division of the Industrial court,
in a survey conducted last summer by
Miss Lima Bresette, former head of
the division, determined that the MINI
mum clothing budget should be
$172.33. Testimony presented TO the
court in recent hearings, however,
has been to the effect that retail costs
have declined about 35 per cent since
last June, which would reduce Miss
Bresette's minimum to about Sis.
Stockings the Main Item.
One of the greatest variations in
the clothing budgets is in the amount
allowed for stockings. The women's
division of the court finally deter
should be made for six pair of Isle
hose annually. The club women had
previously advised the s9rvey work
ers that five pair of Isle and one pair
of silk should be allowed.
Six pair of 25-cent cotton hose fs
sufficient, according to the testimony
presented in behalf of Topeka ems
ployers.
The budget of K. S. A. c. special
lists is especially liberal in this re-
spect. 1t allows for two pair of wool
hose at 50 each, two pair of silk at 50
each and four pair of Isle at 81 eacf.
This budget, in fact, is more liberal
than the one worked out by Topeka
working girls themselves. They be-
heved eight pair OF wool hose, costing
$40, to be the minimum.
The Bresette Budget.
Large variations exist in other parts
or the budgets The Bresette budget
allowed one suit every year, sSO.Ie:
one coat in two years, $i4s1: two
cotton waists, 81; one silk waist S4s4:
two cotton dresses. $10.07; one worsted
dress, 1884.
The X. S. A. C. budget provides for
the following other clothing; for three
years: one wool dress, $40; three sffl<
dresses, $45; three cotton dresses.
II 30; six cotton waists $12; one silk
waist, $3.50. and one wool skirt IS.
The one-year budget of Topeka en-
ployers, the cause of so much ridicuie
by the working girls, provides for one
cotton dress at 81; one worsted dress
$3.50; one suit every three years at
$50, or $40 year: one coat every
three years at $25 or 1886 a year;
blouses. two year, total $5.95.

AFTER DELINQUENT .AUTOISTS
Sheriff Urges Car Owners to Obtain
1922 License Tags.

An appeal to every citizen to assist
in raising Shawnee county's average
in respect to automobile registration
was issued today by Sheriff Robert
Miller.
Sheriff Miller asserted that Shawnee
county is behind other counties in the
number of auto owners who have OBJ
tanned 1922 license tags, and asked
that every citizen cooperate with him
in experimenting those who are still
using old tags
'Tf every citizen" said the sheriff.
will write on postcard the number
of every old license tag he may see
and mail it 20 me, we will soon have
all the tagging ones in hand. Or,
they might telephone them to this
office
The licenses were supposed to be
paid during aJanuary. Several hun
bred are still in arrears and the police
have been making several arrests.
The maximum fine for not getting a
license is $25. There are still about
IS, 900 motorists in the state who have
not obtained their license tags, &C
cording to the secretary of state.

Fever form a Trade Knock" club :?
1t is great sport-if you don't
weaken.
George McDermott, president of the
Topeka Chamber of Commerce and
prominent attorney, and George God
frey Moore, president of the National
Reserve Life Insurance company, a
few years ago formed q club of this
kind. They decided that by listening
i'm they could pick up criticisms about
each other that would in the end be
beneficial.
Mr.. McDermott was telling about
it to a group OF friends at a Chamber
or Commerce luncheon the other day.
Moore came to me the day follow
ing our organization" he releted. He
was aglow over his first success in
obtaining a knock on my character.
He told me that man had told him
that I was the most conceited ass he
had ever known.
1T was a sad blow to my budding
career and that night thought about
it late into my erstwhile sleeping
hours.
1.-THE next day resolved to repay
George for his cruel blow. I blew into
