 Topeka. Kan. March s1-Can a working girl c1othe herself on ss7.55 a year?
 It might be done in Gopher Prairie" but not in Topeka
 Topeka's working girls are still stamping a mean foot at the very thought that anyone could make such a statement.
 But it was made-and, by a girl, too, who, testifying in the minimum wage hearings before the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations. said that $ST.55 would buy everything, even to the femininiTne what nots that girl would require in a year.
 The testimony caused a near riot. and demanded to see some of the things the $S7,55 would buy.
 Hosiery at 25 Cents
 For instance, there was the item of stockings-six pairs for a year, at 25 cents
 show us some of the twenty-five cent hosiery" said the girls on their investigation tour. They were de- cidedly cotton and nothing else.
 Mot fit to wear" said the girls. as they threw them down.
 As for dresses, there was one cot ton dress listed at s7 and one worst ed dress at $13.50- The girls saw in home circles as a "bunga1ow apron
 "Imagine parading downtown in one of those." said girl. Think of it in a rainStOrn!'
 The item for suits. in the list sub- for a working girl, was $3O; but the suit was to last three years, or S10 per year on the suit question.

EPISCOPALIANS BEGIN CHURCH
 HEALINGS

Denver, March 31.-"Old-fashioned religious healing of the sick" will fea- ture Lenten services to- be conducted by Episcopal churches of this city, ac- cord1ng to announcement by Rev. R B. H. Bell. pastor of St. Thomas's Episcopal church of Denver.
 For the first time in the history of the Episcopal church in America, it was believed, healing services. in which virtually all Episcopal churches of the city will take part, will be held, 1t was announced in some down town church during the next month.
 Quietly and unostentatiously, what was termed practical religious heal ing has been conducted for some Gn f1me by Br: Bell and by the Rev: church. These two c1ergymen, with the Rt. Rev. Fred Ingley Episcopal Bishop p-Coadjutor of the Colorado dio- cease, have worked out the plan for the downtown mission, where solemn healing meetings will be held for all seeking relief
 Neglect Has Been Mistake.'
 The neglect of healing by the mistake" said Dr. Bell. "I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to heal the sick and make cripp1es whole through the church today just as much as he did 1t while on earth and as His dis cip1es carried on the work after His ascension.
 By this we do not mean that heal Ing should be made into a great pub lie hurrah, and we have done what has been done in a quiet manner Prayers for the sick must be in all without any idea toward public notoreity. Those who want to be healed must give themselves up to Christ beforehand"
 Dr. Bell declared that for the past year healing of the sick by clergy men has been ordered by the Church of England throughout the British and it is now the duty of every clergyman in that church to carry on the work of healing as part of the church's regular work

 And so it went all down the line coat every three years, at S25. four cotton suits Of underwear a yea, for n total Of S6.10; two pairs of shoes year; TWO blOuSeS a year, at $5.9 .95 for both, a kimono at go cents. etc
 The list was complete, even cor sets were included-one pair a year of the $1 variety and style of arch lecture.
 The girls stormed through the stores asking to see the various artt- cles, and each and every one was spurned with a toss of the head, the flash of angry eyes and decidedly un- complimentary remarks. Much more was said in regard to testimony that sixty cents 8 day was enough for food for a working girl
 Mgosh, they think we're canar- ies!" exclaimed one robust girl. "Try 1t for a week"
 In contradiction to this testimony or the Welfare Division of the Court. She thought six pairs of lisle hose at sixty-three cents a pair. the proper idea, and other clothing items were Tn proportion. Her idea of a kimono was one of the SPAS variety.
 Miss Mcfarland advocates 8 mini mum weekly wage of S16.99 for work her estimate that the Associated In- dustr1es of the State, representing the employers. introduced the testimony that SS755 will clothe a girl a whole year, even to handkerchiefs, an an1- brella and c pocketbook.
 But don't try to make a Topeka girl believe that!

Recent reports received from this

What will give additional interest to

that almost every village has its own

local villager takes good care to see
that each story is romance. Some of
