APRIL AND MAY

APRIL AND MAY
April and May are tiara's filled with
priceless gems
To give to all the other months their
diadems,
Crocus, lilies, hyacinths, jonquils, daft
fodils,
Violets in the meadows, and dogwood
on the hills.
AS queens by right they sit upon a
throne,
Sometimes quite temperamental they
will own,
Yet smiles or tears, friendly or very
cold,
They don their crowns like soldiers,
brave and bold.
April has clothed the wood in green.
now with winning smile
May calls to us to leave all care and
work, awhile,
To share the riches of such priceless
gems
That other months will follow wearing
diadems.

So when Joe got back, he found his

NAVY AND beige comprise one of
the smartest color combinations of
the new season. This costume, ideal
for town wear, uses the new color
scheme to decided advantage. The
three-quarter length coat is of beige

aggerated in the back. It is worn
with a navy skirt and navy suede
belt which clasps with two silver
prongs. The coat may be used with
other skirts and different accessories.
With either brown or black it is equal

LANSING, Kans., June 22.-The
Kansas Penitentiary food, against
which 348 convict coal miners pro-
tested in Tuesdays mutiny, Is cooked
In a 64-year- kitchen-and the
Governor and warden agreed yester-
day the place is inSanitary.
On one small range, In steam pots
and in a 30-year-old oven, meals are
prepared for the 1878 inmates.
"The kitchen is In q building that
is insanitary and unfit for preparation
of food" Gov. ALI M. Landon said at
Topeka.
1.-THE Governor Is quite right" echoed
Warden Lacey Simpson today. THAT
kitchen isn't very sanitary. 1t was
built In 1871.
"An addition was made 40 years ago.
That's the newest part. We have one
range that isn't large enough to cook
all the food we need, so we use steam
pots mostly. Our oven is 80 years old
and we can hardly bake bread In it."
No concessions were made the
prisoners after they emerged from the
mine following 81 hours Of rioting
early Tuesday. In addition to better
food, they had demanded discarge Of
the prison physician.
Warden Simpson said the 1885
Legislature made an appropriation for
new kitchen and cold storage plant,
but did not provide for a new dining
room. The money will not be available
until after next February.
Food Is cooked by convicts, under
supervision Of civilian steward.
I'VE have a lot of first class cooks,
the warden said. But the kitchen is
so small they bump into each other"
