SHORT SKIRTS
CAUSE TROUBLE
KANSAS FARMERS. DAUGHTERS
SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL
FOR WEARING SKIRTS TOO
SHORT.

Lawrence. Kan, April 13.-How
short girls skirt must be to be
disturber of scholastic peace, and
when, if ever, il becomes the con-
Germ of a school board, are questions
expected to be laid before the SUI
preme court of Kansas, following the
recent action of District udge Hugh
Means in sustaining demurrer of
the Vinland, Kansas rural school
board against his jurisdiction In an
action brought on behalf of Alice
Hansen and Maude Buchanan. Vim
land high school pupils against the
board
Alice and Maude are is years old,
ana both are farmers daughters.
Court action was brought by j. f..
Hansen, father of Alice, when the
vinland school board, after adopt
ing a rule requiring pupils to wear
skirts three inches below the knees,
decided that the skirts of Alice, and
Maude did not meet specifications,
and expelled them until such times
as their skirts should be lowered.
On application of Mr.. Hansen,
Judge Means issued temporary Or
der directing the school board to per-
NIT the girls to return to their stu
dies. They did so, without reserva-
tions or amendments as to skirt
length. Then the school board filed
demurrer to Judge Means jurisdic-
tion, which the Judge upheld, and
Hansen's attorney announced an ap-
peal to the supreme court.
The action of the school board
stirred up a horn cts nest in the
usually placid community of Vim
land. Supporters of the school
board said the board was right, that
three inches below the knee was a
| liberal allowance for skirts. Others
particularly friends of the girls
mpthers, said they believed Mrs
Hansen and Mrs. Buchanan, who
| made the costumes in question al
home knew more about what was
right and modest for girls TO veal
than any three men in the county
school board directors or not.
Judge Means was made the reci
pient of much unasked advice anc
commendation, from hundreds %
persons in all parts of the United
States.
sious minded women wrote to hin
gravely, pointing out the merits o
short skirts from a sanitary stand
point.

60 BACK HOME
FOR EMPLOYMENT
URGES THE FORMER
SOLDIERS NOT TO CONGRE-
GATE NTHE LARGE CITIES.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 13.--Ex-
service men of the country were ask
ed to go back to their home town
and get job, in an appeal which
Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander of the American Legion, to-
day asked the Associated Press 10
broadcast to the jobless veterans
who, he said are congregating in the
larger cities, where the unemploy-
ment situation is becoming worse.
The legion's effort to find EN-
plowment for the 100000 jobless ex-
service men, begun three weeks
ago, is gaining in effectiveness, Mr..
MacNider said.
But the stiffest problem" Mr..
MacNider continued, has been the
floater. In order to benefit the
worthy, the first principle of our ef-
fort has been for every community
to take care of its own.
1.-THE legion's advice is:
"Get back home. Get back among
the people who have watched you
grow from boyhood to manhood and
who naturally feel the greatest gra.
titude toward you for your service
In the war. Back with the home
folks lies your chance of honest
profitable employment m n

ATTACKS CUT IN
PAY RAIL WORKERS
COUNSEL FOR THE EMPLOYEES
MAKES PLEA FOR MEN BE-
FORE THE LABOR BOARD.

Chicago, April 13.-Any further
reduction in wages of railroad main
tenance of way employees would doom
to still further degradation the fam
lilies of 100000 track and shop la
borers who at present are receiving
such low wages that 1t is impossible
for them to secure proper food and
other bare necessities of existence, +"
declared Frank P. Walsh. counsel
for these employees before the Unit
ed States railroad labor board to-
day.
"The majority of these employees, I"
continued Mr.. Walsh, ''are now re-
ceiving an average wage of only $40
a month, and within the last year
have suffered reduction of almost
20 per cent. l contend that no man
can support a family at level OF
human on $40 a month.
Economic and medical experts
have demonstrated scientifically that
twice this amount and more is nee
essary to maintain a family at even
the lowest level that can be conceiv-
ed of at a minimum permissible to
the household of an American citi-
gen."
He suggested that this amount is
less than the ordinary middle class
family, living frugally, spends fol
food alone.
Evidence shows that existing
wages do not permit of proper nutri-
tion of children and cause high rate
of infant mortality" he declared
"A further decrease in wages by this
board would amount to an act o.
wholesale infanticide."

N. D. GRAIN MEN
PLAN MERGER
OFFICIALS CONFER In FARGO
WANT ONE UNIT
AGENCY.

Fargo, April ia committee
representing practically all agricul-
tural and grain interests in North
Dakota is meeting here this evening
to arrange details of merger of all
cooperative grain sales agencies of
the state into one unit.
This committee was chosen this
afternoon at meeting OF repre-
sentatives of four cooperative grain
marketing agencies of the state. The

meeting later In the evening.
1t was instructed to prepare 100
per cent pooling plan for the joint

Equity Cooperative exchange.
Another action taken at this aft
ernoon's meeting was appointment OF
committee to confer with members
of the state railroad and warehouse
commission at Bismarck tomorrow
regarding grain grades. The COM
mission will try to formulate a sys-
tenn of state grain grades to take
place of the North Dakota grain
grading law, recently declared uncon-
stitutional by the North Dakota su-
preme court.
The uestion of possible conflict
between contracts of the new joint
marketing agency and the United
States Grain Growers, inc, arose. u
L. Burdick, former North Dakots
director of the latter .body* declared
that there was no danger of thii
stating that the United States Grair
Growers, inc, contracts would bs
valid only in case that the organiza
tion functioned. This, he added, j
is not doing.
The proposed state unit is onl!
an expedient for marketing grair
luntil the United States Grain Grow
ers have marketing channels of thefl
own, it was emphasized at the meet
ing.
