NOT EVERY METEOR FEELS ITS OBLIGED
 TO FALL IN KANSAS

MCPHERSON, Kan, May 12.-(Ho Kansas has attained reputation beyond this planet as a landing field for stray meteorites, but that reputa- ton would not stand the test Of sci ence, declared Prof. H. H. Ninlnger of McPherson college, past presl- dent of the Kansas Academy of Sci ence, in an address on the subject of meteorites
 The belief that Kansas, center Of the United States, exerts some. uneX- plained influence on the heavenly wanderers, is without foundation in fact, the professor asserted. A chart of recorded meteoritic falls discloses that one-ffth of the significant finds in the world have been in Kansas, and this has led, according to Pro- lessor Nininger, to the popular and fallacious impression that this state is peculiarly attractive to meteorites. Two explanations he offered for the apparent monopoly Kansas has maintained: the character of the soil, and the interest aroused in the sci ence.
 "The finding of stony meteorites," Professor Nininger pointed out, (which have not been seen to fall, may be considered among the rarest events in the annals of meteoritics. , Tn only two localities on this con- tinent have such finds occurred Il numbers-western Kansas and the coastal plans of Texas. In both of these regions the soil is comparative ly free from terrestrial rocks" This, he said, facilitated distinguishing me- teoritic stones from the earth. A series of witnessed falls of now famous iron and stone meteorites also had kept scientific circles, the public and the press interested in Kansas for long periods, he said, with which
 they were weighing down fences and roofs were in fact meteorites. Thus
 were the discoveries multiplied. 1 Scientists have never satisfactorily
 accounted for the concentration of iron meteorites in large showers,
 Professor Nininger told his audi
 ence One theory is that such show
 CTS are remnants of disintegrating
 comets which have "sideswiped" the
 earth. This, he said, may explain
 the huge crater in northeast Arizona,
 devoid of volcanic rock and sur
 rounded by traces of iron meteoritic
 falls, which geologists believe marks
 the entrance into the earth of a
 monster meteorite.

win the goodwill of the children of Doorn, is given by a Dutch journal ist, Barteld H. Ibelings, who recent ly visited Doorn castle.
 Another pastime of the former en- peror is collecting photographs c: the Prince of Wales, and he is also fond of cutting and pasting up pie lures of Queen Wilhelmina of Hol- land. He dresses most carefully, says Mr. Ibelings, and his suits are always of the latest cut. At the court which William continues to hold, the same stiff ceremonial as obtained in Berlin days is observed.
 One of the former emperor's chief ambitions is to become popular with the people, and especially the young folk of Doorn. He therefore often goes out personally to shop and ad, dresses the townfolk in their native dialect. He even deigns now to tip his hat pleasantly in greeting, where as formerly he had everybody bow ing to him.

 MT. James was enthusiastically applauded for his three delightful solos. Miss Eccles as accompanist left nothing to be desired.
 Supper was served shortly after midnight and the invited guests vot ed the members of Seward Chapter No. 10, Order of the Eastern Star perfect hosts and hostesses.

Little cheesecloth squares piled with
a handful of oatmeal and then tied up
into bags are splendid as beauty aids.
the water in your district is hard
this method will soften it: if your skin
is muddy, this will bleach It.
I'd suggest making up two sizes,
small ones with a tablespoonful of
meal for the hand basin when you
wash only face and hands, and others
twice as large for the bath. They take
,nly few minutes to make: indeed,
some enterprising firm should put them
out, made up, like little bags of tea
we can buy nowadays, with just enough
in for a small pot, and with a nice lit
tie tag to hang outside the pot on a
piece Of string. AS no firm has, to
date, you can make up a months sup
ply yourself in half an hour or less.
You could, IL you didn't mind the fakes
floating about pour the meal loose into
the water. I've tried both ways and
found only that the face cloth needed
a hot rinse to free it from the flakes.
Oatmeal is a splendid bleach. Even
in its least effective form, oatmeal soap
1t keeps the skin soft and white. And
that reminds me, that you can make up
excellent oatmeal soap yourself, by buy

finest oriental rugs come in COM
paratively small sizes only. They
have been selected one at a time,
probably, whenever the opportunity
presented to get a rare one or some-
thing that appealed. In the second
instance change of environment ne
cessitated the arrangement, though
the rugs may be handsome of their
kind. But for whatever reason, it is
essential to have such small rugs
properly placed If rooms are to look
attractive.
Grouping.
To prevent a scatter-rug appear
ance to a floor on which many rugs
are placed instead Of fewer and
larger ones, it is necessary to put
them in groups, SO that the eye takes
them in as such at first glance and
not as distinct and separate pieces
Each group of rugs should form
squares or rectangles, if possible, and
should be artistically centered in re-
spect to the furniture. One compare
lively large rug, for instance, may
have two or even three smaller ones
placed quite close to 1t to make
either of the geometric figures
named. Space should be allowed
about the group, as would be the case
II 1t were a separate rug, before
another rug or group comes, thus
identifying the group as a genuine
feature in the floor treatment. These
rug groups should be so planned that
they accent the desired size and
shape of the room just as they would
If they were one piece instead of two
or more.
Positions of Rugs.
If rugs extend lengthwise of
room the width is minimized. The
reverse of this is true when the rugs
are placed crosswise. So to accent
either dimension is easy Rugs
should not be placed askew on
floor. However. if a piece of furni-
ture stands at an angle to the walls
1t is entirely permissible to have a
rug that is before it follow the same
line. Such an arrangement is pleas
ingly noticeable in chambers, where
dressing tables or bureaus are placed
in diagonal position. probably to
insure the best light falling on
mirrors. A large easy chair fire.
room and the foot. mat before it takes
the same diagonal slant.
\ rug placed diagonally across a
corner before which is placed a
davenport or other large piece of fur
niture as described has the effect of
diminishing the size of the room.
This arrangement is recommended for
use in large rooms that are but spar
ingfy furnished. 1t should be shun-
ned in small rooms.
Effect of End Rugs.
If a room is too long or too wide
for a rug, even though it is large,
end rugs can be used to cover the
bare spaces. These should be placed
to accent the desired proportions
Two shorter rugs may be substituted
with good results for either Of the
long end rugs or for both of them.
The spaces between the end rugs and
the main one break the length or
width of room effectively and pro-
duce the result sought.

What Tomorrow Means to You

lSCCb.
Sometimes the planetary aspects
furnish clear indications as to the
course, under given conditions, that
business will take. Not fnfreQuent1y
they reveal only information that af-
fects individual weilbeing. Tomor-
rows signs pertain to the latter class,
and consequently the only advice of
a practical nature that can be given
is to attend only to routine duties.
In temperamental matters, however.
you can, If you have been Slowing
up" redouble your efforts to win that
which is dearest to your heart, and
If there be a strong urge to forget
triling differences 1t would be ad-
visable to allow the urge" to do it's
complete work, as the results desired
thereby will be secured.
Usually life consists of "ups and
downs" and this will be amply dem
onstrated in a physical sense by any
child born tomorrow. 1t will suffer
in the early stages of it's career from
some severe and threatening all
ments, but 1T will-thanks to it's la

dial measures. Temperamentally, 1t
Will be very variable, and little reli-
ance should be placed on the con-
stancy of its moods. A subject at all
times of extreme emotions, 1t will
both attract and repulse, although
an otherwise very pleasing person
ality will make for 1t more friends
and admirers than enemies. It's
tastes will be along artistic lines, and
these must not be frowned on but
encouraged
For those whose birthday Is to-
morrow the Interpretation of the

hopeful or an encouraging character.
They apparently are domestic, home
loving and comfort-see and yet
they find themselves surrounded by
inharmonious conditions under which
they chafe, but which, for some rea-
son or other. they are unable to
change. Their failure to alter ex-
listing circumstances is largely at
tributable to a lack of forcefulness
and the innate disinclination to do
anything that may cause them annoy
ance or inconvenience others. They
know what they want, but if to Sc
cure this they must sacrifice ease or
comfort they prefer to submit to
state of affairs which they know and
feel is incompatible with their de-
sires. This spirit of being apparently
satisfied with dissatisfaction and OF
trying to be contented with discon
tent cannot inure to either progress
or success.

1t is surprising what difference in
the entire appearance of a room is
made by the arrangement of the rugs
on the floor. The room may apear
wider or narrower, longer or shorter,
cosier or less homelike by the placing
of the rugs. Also it may look artistic
or inartistic by the adjustment of the
ing of rugs assumes a genuine signifi-
canoe in interior decoration entirely
apart from the kind, color and type
of the rugs themselves.
The correct position of rugs is de-
termined by the size, shape and char
acter of room, by the size and shape
of the rugs and the size and position
of the furniture. Architecture, there
fore, and furnishings must be taken
into consideration as well as the rugs
and the space to be covered For in
stance, rugs in hall and in the main
rooms of a house would be placed on
the floor somewhat differently from the
way they would in a chamber, but in
each instance the size and shape of
the rugs are determining factors.
Large Rugs.
On general principles a large rug is
chosen in preference TO smaller ones
for rooms characterized as the main
rooms of a house. The problem of ar
rangement is avoided, and the floor
covered without the size and shape
of the room being Influenced in any
apparent way. Domestic rugs come
woven to suit modern rooms, and even
oriental rugs may now be had in most
of these same sizes. This is not so with
antique or semi-antique oriental rugs,
so keenly sought after and cherished
by collectors.
Small Rugs.
1t is when the owner or the per-
son living in the house or apartment
has oriental rugs or determines to
use them that the problem of ar
rangement to accord with the rea-
sons enumerated becomes of para
mount Importance. There are also
many instances where rugs bought
for other rooms must be used in
those of different sizes and shapes,
and adjustments are imperative be-
cause OF change of residence.
In the first instance the rugs are
small from choice, since many of the
