BIC ART EXHIBIT
illustrated Lecture May Be Fea-
ture of Free Fair Program.
Interest Is Greater This Year
Than Ever Before.

An illustrated art lecture in the
Peoples Pavilion may be>one of the
features of the art department at the
Kansas Free fair in Topeka Septem-
Der II to 16 if present plans are
realized. An increasing interest in
the art work all over the country
promises to make this department of
the Free Fair of greater interest this
year than ever before.
1t is probable that the American
Federation of Art, which brought
splendid exhibits here last year, will
bring another display to the Free Fair
this year. This federation lis doing
much to stimulate interest in art work
in the United States and now there is
hardly a village without its little art
club or society.
Among the probable exhibitors this
fall will be Mrs. L. c. Hodge, OF To-
peka who is now on the Pacific coast
painting with an art colony. 1t is
probable that Mrs. Hodge will have
considerable new stuff this year and
the public is looking forward with
much interest to her exhibits. Mrs.
Hodge does some excellent marine
and landscape painting.
Mrs. Gladys Nelson Smith of Min
neapolis, whose landscape and child
studies have been greatly admired by
eastern critics, will also probably have
an exhibit at the Free Fair this year.
Berger Sandzen of LindsDorg. famous
landscape painter; Mrs Katharine
Lindsay Perkins of Topeka, who does
both landscape and CHINA painting,
and probably Carl Bolmar and George
NJ. Stone are expected to have exhib-
it's on display.
other exhibits of interest will be
those from the schools and colleges.
The art class of the Kansas State Ag-
rlcultural college. of which Miss Ara
ninta Holman is the head, will prob
ably exhibit some original wall paper,
fabric and other decorations and de-
signs Kansas university. PittsburS
normal and perhaps the Haskell in
stitute are also expected to send ex-
hibits. High schools are showing an
increased interest in art and are ex-
pected to bring some interesting ex-
hibits to the Free Fair.

REGARD IT AS A JOKE
Striking Shopmen Don't Consider
Newly Formed Organization.

Newly EOrIncO OfSSdIlZnIIOn
The newly formed associations of
Santa Fe employees are regarded as a
joke by the striking shopmen, F. w.
Rauseh, speaking for the executive
committee of the Santa Fe shop crafts
declared today. Rausch declared that
organizations formed as the new as
under the control and have been fos-
tered by the company, and that they
will not be able to get anywhere when
they try to settle grievances of the
men with the company.
with the exception of one, and
possibly two, the heads of all these
new associations are men who
formerly were members of the fore
mems association" Rausch said.
The foremen have formed a new
association on the system, when they
were already members of a national
association of supervisors, which was
recognized by the UQited States rail-
road labor board since the strike.
Now the foremen on the Santa Fe are
trying to form a separate foremen's
organization of their own and are try
ing to get control of the other associa-
tons. We look upon the whole thing
as a joke" Rausch declared.
The speakers at the Sunday after
noon meeting of the shop crafts at
Ripley park at o'clock are both pas
ton will be offered by the Rev.
George E. Satterlee, of Lowman
Memorial Methodist church. The
first speaker will be the Rev. Clara H.
Hazelrigg. pastor of the West Side
Christian church, and the second will
be the Rev. +. H. Sutton, pastor of
the Euclid Avenue NJ. z. church

ALLEN SELLS AS A CLOWN
Twenty Years Ago Topekan
Earned ST a Week in Sawdust
Ring of Sells & Sterne Circus.

In The State Journal files of twenty
years ago, the following story about
Allen Sells appears:
Little Allen is no longer with the
Sells & Sterne consolidated, one ring
hippodrome and menagerie. He is now
doing his act twice n day in the big
tent as the smallest clown on earth.
ALLEN Sells was offered a position
by William Sells, his father. He con-
sfdered it carefully and then decided-to
give up his interests in the Sells &
Sterne circus and go to his father. HN
is a clown in the sawdust ring at the
salary of 81 per week. He is nearly
nine years old and his clown act is said
to be nearly as good as the efforts OF
the famous Billy Rice years ago. He
will be with the show until fall.
The circus instinct still remains
with Allen. He is now managing a
one-man travelling show in the inter-
ests of Field and Stream publishing
company. He shows several thrilling
films, featuring big game hunts and
other outdoor sports, gives a good BIT
of barking" before each show and
unless Allen has>changed since he left
Topeka a few weeks ago, he does some
good "clowning'' with it all.

DON'TS FOR SWIMMERS
Captain Raacke Says Deaths Are Due
to CarelessneSS.

Captain Raacke Says Deaths Are Due
to Carelessness.
Eight-tenths of the deaths from
drowning in the United States are due
to carelessness, according to Capt. n.
A. Raacke, of the American Red
Gross Life Saving corps. who was in
Topeka, Friday. Captain Raacke,
who has had wide experience as
life guard, suggests to following list
of "don'ts'' for swimmers
Don't go into the water when you
are overheated. The shock received
when you enter the water may cause
cramps.
Don't enter the water Immediately
after eating. Always wait for at least
two hours after a meal before going
Don't call for help in fun. You may
really need help some time and no
one will respond to your call.
Don't go in swimming alone. AL
ways have at least one person in the
water with you.
Don't wade into the water with your
hand above your head. Always keep
your hands at your sides, SO that you
will be ready to swim if you unex-
pectedly step into a deep hole.
Don't continue swimming when you
are exhausted. You may become so
weak that you cannot keep yourself
up. -
Ion dtleInpt 10 SWIM Ioi ioHS us
tances unless you are an expert SWIM
mer or unless someone in a boat goes
with you. You may become SO eX-
hausted that you cannot reach shore.
According to Captain Raacke,
! drowning is merely a form of strangu-
lation. A swin1mer should always
keep his windpipe clear.
Every swimmer is a potential life
saver. The motto of the Red Cross
life saving corps is. Every one swim
mer, and every swimmer life saver"
Captain Raacke said.

Well, it will be Mrs. Morgan.
Now that the primary returns are
practically complete there is little
doubt as to the identity of the first

next two years. Workmen are re-

"SMlLES ARE TRUMP" At
REX THEATER TODAY

Maurice Flynn, the picture star,
formerly one Of the nations foot
ball heroes, will be- welcomed to
our city next Saturday, when he
will appear in, his latest Fox pho
toplay, "Smiles Are Trump" at the
Rex theater, This is railroad tale
and has all the speed of Eight
engine" going down a forty per
cent grade, it is said. The picture
was adapted from a Frank L. Pack
ard story called tempered Steel"
It begins when Flynn, as Jim Car
son, a young assistant paymaster,
discovers that his superior officer
has been padding the payroll OF a
section boss. The discovery incenses
the paymaster and he sends his sub
ordinate to pay off the men himself,
secretly instructing the section boss
to be prepared to ''get" the bumpt-
ious young assistant. What happens
from then on provides exciting ac-
ton galore. which includes several
rough-and-tumblet fights, a giddy
plunge from an open trestle, and
a sensational race between two loco
motives on parallel tracks during
which Flynn makesSa blood curdling
leap from one speeding engine to
the other.

theme is portrayed by pretty Ora
