rolled strips of crepe paper IT'S so,
and as for the colored sealing wax il
can be thinned and used as paint, for
the decoration of card table covers,
candy boxes, telephone book covers,
perfume bottles. candles, vases, ct al.
The accustomed use of crepe paper
for party decorations is developed by
the Dennison Company to miraculous
extent Fancy costumes for grown

well as for children are now being
shown at Cranes. Favors of every

The Washburn football squad, more
than fifty strong, is working out every
day under direction of Coach Mike
Vosburg and Athletic Director Dwight
T. Ream, and prospects are brighter
than have been at Washburn for sew
eral years. If early indications, mean
anything, Washburn will make a
mighty ,creditable showing in the
Kansas conference this year.
Practice started September II, and
every day has seen steady improve
ment in the players Both Coach Vos-
burg and Director Ream are enthused
over the early practice.
Several good scrimmages have been
held, and men have shown up better

carrying the ball, and other funda-
mentals of the game.
Few Injuries.
Few injuries have been reported at
Washburn in the early practice. The
number is surprisingly less than usual,
Director Ream said today. Usually
when the men come in and are soft,
early practice gives them bruises and
minor injuries.
Ralph Schrader, who sprained his
knee recently, is expected to be back
for work in a few days. Several play
ers have bruises and stiff muscles,
but for the most part they are in as
fine condition as they ever were
known to be so early in the season.
Getting the men in condition is one
of the purposes of the work at present.
After two or three hours of hard
without the men are given a once
around the field at a slow gait, then
in for shower and rundown.
First Aid at Gym.
Efficiency is the order at the gym
nasium. All men are weighing out
before practice. and are weighing
when they return. This helps the
coaches keep a line on how the men
are conditioning. In the gymnasium
is a room where towels and first aid
treatment are given the men. Harry
Crane is, in charge of this work. A
large electric light is used to loosen
up bruises by its heat. Sore spots
are, rubbed thoroly and liniment or
bandagess are at hand for those who
need such treatment,

duties of foil time coaching, he has

J. E. Cough, living at Sixteenth
street and Kansas avenue, was fined
$40 in police court Friday afternoon
as the result of a fight in which he
engaged with his neighbor. L. N. Bene-
dict. The affair is said to have started
when the 6-year-old sons of the two
got in a fight of their own. Benedict
is said to have gone. to Coughs home
to talk it over, where, after q few
words. the fathers themselves broke
off diplomatic relations and resorted
to the primitive. Benedict had Cough
arrested charged with assault.
While the clerks were not looking,
someone took $40 in cash and four
checks totaling $3.50 from the regis

They TAKE FORDS
Topeka Insurance Agencies Re-
port Loss of Many Cars.
Theft Ring Operates in FOrds,
Insurance Men Say.

An automobile theft gang, special
king in the stealing for Ford cars, is
now operating in Topeka, according to
local automobile insurance agencies.
A total of nine Fords, insured by local
agencies have disappeared since Sep
TENDER Is. In addition to this number
many uninsured cars have been taken,
1t was reported. This is said to be the
largest number of FOrds to have ever
disappeared in Topeka In one week.
Practically all the cars reported were
stolen from the theater district. The
thefts are made regularly at one or
two day intervals.
"A great many cars are disappear
ing and it appears that a gang is OPP
Grating and taking cars regularly to
Kansas City or some other distribut-
ing point" said Carl w. Trap, of the
firm of Trap and Meade. "Practi-
cally all the stealing is done in the
theater district and most or the thefts
occur during the first show. Nine
tenths of the stolen cars, with the ex-
ception of those taken for joyridins
purposes, are taken when parked on
Seventh street or Eighth avenue be-
tween Kansas avenue and Quincy
street. Conditions are more or less
favorable for the thieves as they can
now drive stolen car to Kansas City
in five hours with perfect ease.
when a car is stolen at g o'clock
in the evening it is possible to drive
into Kansas City by l o'clock and dis
pose of ii before morning. The
thieves are thought to be experienced
in their line they have on occasions
broken steel chains placed on auto
mobiles If persons would lock their
cars while attending a theater per-
formance the number of thefts might
be reduced"
The Cars Stolen.
The following thefts have been re-
ported to Trap in the last week:
September Is, Ford coupe, owned by
]. b. Wyatt, stolen from Seventh street
and Kansas avenue; September Is,
Ford coupe, owned by Ray c. Lund-
gren, stolen from 800 Western avenue;
September II, new Ford sedan, owned
by DIR. stephen S. Smith, stolen near

Two Ford coupes. owned by John
Raster, of 1916 Madison street, as
sistant city attorney, and G. w. Nc
Cord, of 1432 Tyler street, were stolen
Friday night.
George L. Tuer, automobile lnsur-
ance salesman, reported only one Ford
