In order that pictures which

In the early days Of the yoy-

sonnet of program committees were
approved by tho Legion state execu-
tive committee meeting with Ell Do

days ago.
Approximately 1000 persons are ex-

the convention. OF this number, about
half will be delegates sent by the
various posts thruout the state, rep

in Kansas. Alternates and visitors
at the convention are expected to
make up the other thousand.
Show s'Streets of Paris.''
Athletic contests, a band contest,
festival THE Streets Of Paris" a
uniform parade and speeches by many
prominent men. including Hanford
MacNider, national commander of the
Legion, appear as features of the
tentative program of the gathering.
The athletic contests, consisting
principally of a series of baseball
games, will be he'd in preparation for
the Kansas departments participation
in events scheduled for the annual ma
tional convention at New Orleans this
fall.
The band contest, according to the
program committee, will be open to
organizations from all parts of the
state. Cash prizes will be awarded
the winners of this event. Then there
will be a rodeo in connection with the
conventions list of entertainments.
There will be the usual program of
broncho busting, steer throwing and
roping exhibitions.
One night of the convention, to be
determined later, will be given over
to a grand carnival, THE Streets of
Paris" Those in charge say this af
fair will be similar in many respects
to the gala night held during the
state convention at Hutchinson last
year.
The uniform parade, according to
the arrangements committee, will be
a new departure in the holding of
state conventions. The day on which
this march will be staged, also, has
not yet been determined. All former
service men attending the gathering
will be asked to turn out in uniform,
the committee announced.
Preliminary convention committees

| meeting, as follows:
Committee on constitution and by

When rnilady goes forth to buy
a fur coat and finally decides on a
Hudson seal, she may be under the
impression that she is buying the
peIt of a seal that was raised in the
neighborhood of Hudson bay. If SO,
she is badly mistaken, for what she
really acquires to knock all of her
admiring friends cold, IS the skin OF
the American muskrat. This is on
the authority of E. p Main, manager
of the Kihekah Fur company at log
East Eighth.
OF course, the skin is not as it
originally grew on the muskrat. Then
it was a brown skin, with long guard
hairs" which were almost stiff enough
to be classified as bristles. When
the pelt had been tanned and dressed,
girls started to work on it with
tweezers. All the long guard hairs"
were carefully pulled OUT. Then the
soft long fur underneath was sheared
dyed black. The result Is what Mi
lady buys for Hudson seal. Beaver
and otter are also plucked of guard
hairs before being sold.
Near seal or ''sealine" are two trade
names for rabbit skin which has been
sheared and dyed, Main said. The
ordinary Dummies that kick up their
heels on the Kansas prairies are not
used so much to furnish these as the
Belgian hare. 1t is not a lasting skin
and people rarely get any real salts

FIRST VACATION IN DECADE
Henry Lewis, Street Car Con-
ductor, Has Worked on Topeka
Lines Twenty Eight YeaS-To
Colorado This Summer.

Henry Lewis, one of the oldest
trainmen of the Topeka Railway COM
pany, both in age and in point of
service, is now enjoying his first va
cation in ten years. He has been
continually on the job during this en-
tire period.
Lewis plans to go to Colorado and
rest up for thirty days. He has been
employed on the local street car lines
for nearly twenty eight years. He
has spent nearly twenty-one of these
years on the Lowman Hill line and
knows practically every regular pa
iron on the line. Lewis says he never
had the thrill of operating a horse
car. He came to Topeka one year
after the horse car and rapid transit
lines were consolidated.
Lewis has never taken more than
one day off at time in the last
decade just to rest up and take it
easy. Street car trainmen work Sun
days and naturally take a day off
once in a while.
Lewis does not wish to say how long
he expects to stay in the street car
game. He says that he might get
fired at any moment.
