Princess Mary Likely to Show

 In reality there will be two process sions on Feb. 2S. the day of the wed- ding. Queen Mary and Queen Mother Alexandra with their escort and at tendants will form the first, the king following shortly afterward with the bride and an escort.
 Every new detail of the ceremony is displayed by the newspapers and seized upon by the public which thus learns today that the hat in which the bride will start her honeymoon is of "mole and larkspur blue geors- ette." The mole 10 match the mole wear and the blue georgette to match her dress.

 Miss Wooster and her administra- tion of the Kansas schols are facing other suits, filed by male teachers throughout the State, who seek to en- join her from cancelling their teach CTS certificates because they are users of tobacco.
 Kansas-home of the anu-cigarette law-cannot tolerate a teacher who his nome Miss Wooster has ruled. She requires every teacher to take oath that he, or she, will not use "the weed" in any form.
 Eminence Back in Print.
 Miss Whites suit has brought the little town of Eminence back on the map of the daily press.
 Emnience was the county seat of old Garfield County, which was abol- ished many years ago and made a part of Finney County. In the days Of the life of Eminence as a city it was on page one of half the news papers of the country almost daily. It was either under arms protecting g it's county seat against the attacks of rival towns, or under arms and march ing orders to bring the county seat back from sone other town which had taken it away over night.
 The State House at Topeka was kept busy for years answering the call for troops either for or against Eminence.
 It may now develop that Eminence again will become the seat of trouble over the vital question of whether a 'School marn" may dance, or paint her face, or bob her hair-or, per haps, smoke an occasional cigarette and still hold her certificate to teach.

 For Hiss White has been dismiss ed from her teachership in any school in Kansas because she dances.
 Her suit, upon which a judge and jury of Kansas farmers must pass, climaxes one of the most drastic school board rulings ever issued in a Western State.
 Miss Wooster, temperance advocate, anti-cigarette campaigner, enemy ol the bobbed head and the abbreVlateo skirt, has made law Of her own by VI hich Kansas teachers must abide Miss White alleges.
 Tobacco Is Barred.
 First.-Teachers in Kansas-men II or women cannot use tobacco in any form-pipe, cigar, cigarette, or a "chaw."
 second.-Teachers must not permit dancing in Kansas schools.
