CARRIED in Strike Apron
Myra Mc4enry Is Taken
To Topeka Police Station
She Visits Attorney General Sheriff. Chief of Police and
State House and Finally, After Mighty Effort Gets
Into TroubIe-But She Isn't Taken Seriously.

Topeka was given her regular treat
today when Myra McHenry came to
town.
Wearing a huge oilcloth apron with
painted words down the front, ST

paraded up and down Kansas avenue.
thru the state house, city hall, court
house and police station and finally,
just as she desired, she was picked up
by a policeman and taken to head
quarters.
She was booked for investigation
by the police, held for three hours
just long enough to miss making a
speech at a political meeting-and
turned loose, apron and all.
Her most daring experience was a
visit to the office of Attorney General
Hopkins. The attorney general, still
warm from the William Allen White
industrial court law violation. looked
her over
IT don't see you below the eyes,"
he was quoted as saying to Myra.
After shaking her fist in his face and
expressing her widely known views
Governor Allen, she went to the gov
ernor'S office.
But Henry Allen was not in town.
1t was a lucky trip out of the city
for the governor. He will go thru
anything rather than entertain the
famous visitor from his home town.
Mrs. McHenry landed in Topeka
early Friday morning.
Late in the evening, while on patrol
duty on LowerFKansas avenue, accord
ing to Mrs. McHenry's story, she met
a policeman, went up to him and
shook hands with him.
'Ill have to take you to the police
station" he told her.
Il thought he was just funninS,
like policemen often do" Mrs. Nc
Henry said today, but 10 and behold!
he was in earnest. 1 wouldn't walk
to the police station, and wanted
him to carry me. (Mrs. McHenry's
weight is considerably short of a hun
dred pounds.) But he wouldn't do it.
Instead he called the police car, an1
they took me to the station.
when that policeman grasped me
by the arm, could feel the workings
of the Industrial court law in Topeka"
Arrived at the police station, Mrs.
McHenry was booked in the police
blotter 'for investigation" She was
taken to the police matron's room on
the second floor. The matron was
not at the Jail at the time, and while
Mrs. McHenry was in the room alone,
she used the phone freely, calling
friends who interested themselves in

''I'm in Jail, Mr. Hopkins. and the
industrial court law is functioning in

told the attorney general. She was
from the police station about

GIRLS BUDGET UP
Miss Nell Berger of Topeka In
terviewed in New York.
Saws She'll Have to Revise Her
Figures Upward.

Berger, buyer for Topeka, Kan,
department store, who recently gained
public attention by listing the price of
necessary clothing for an American
working girl at $3.50 a year. ad-
mitted today she would have to revise
her figures upward
The Kansas industrial court was
trying to find out how much it cost
a girl in the middlewest to dress. The
big mistake was made when the cob
of listing girls clothing was turned
over to men, while the task of setting
down the prices was turned over to
Miss Berger. The men, in their ig-
norance, listed such things as corsets,
petticoats corset covers and woolen
stockens when everyone knows no girl
Berger, who is here for her firm, said
so herself She also said that even
the humble working girls pay more
than 25 cents a pair for stockings.
Miss Berger's recent testimony be-
fore the industrial court in the mini
mum wage hearings aroused nation
wide comment and volcano of pro-
test from Kansas working girls. The
chief objection to the Topeka wo-
mans testimony was her statement to
the effect that hosiery could be pur-
chased for IS cents pair. In a sub
sequent statement Miss Berger an
nounced that she was not fixing a
standard for working girls in her tes-
timony. but sought only to give prices
at which dress materials might be
purchased if a working girl desired to
practice true economy

London, July 29.-COngestio in
British ports is beginning to threaten
interference with the export of coal
to America, which has taken such a
boom since the beginning of the strike

the two shift arrangement which the
dock workers imposed upon their en-
ployers during the war. Loading is
entirely suspended for six or seven
hours out of every twenty-four. The
employers have the right. under GER
tain circumstances, to claim restora-
ton of the three-shift system, and it
is considered possible that they may
raise this claim now.
