WOMEN OF KANSAS TO AUCTION THEIR VOTES Not for Cash, But for Legislation They Believe Will Do Most Toward Social Uplift of State—Parties to Make Bids for Favor. ___ r i linn irf nii JT* ARMY OFFICER INVENTS HYDRO AEROPLANE; PLANS OCEAN VOYAGE r ' " . . . . 1 ' 1,1 C." - 1 ~ ' m —Tr 11 < Topeka, Kan. Special: Kansas Women are going to auction off their Totes to the highest bidder, not In cash, but In the way of legislation that women believe Is necessary for the ■octal well being of the state. A meet ing of the women will be held here Saturday to consider what their de mands will be. and representatives of all the largo women's organizations In the Btate will bo present. So far the women enfranchised at the last state •lection have not aligned themselves to any party In great numbers, and it Is the belief of a large number of them that the majority will be guided by the conference here. A committee Is to be appointed to draft a legislative program, and the political party which grants their demands In the largest way will have their support. Among the demands of the women will be: The recall applied to all elective offi cials. No life tenure of office. National suffrage for women. Laws to prevent the morally, meiv^ tally or physically unfit. Laws for the aid or compensation ot Indigent, deserted or widowed mother* for the support of their children at home. More equitable, protective, compen satory and encouraging laws for labor and Industry. The absolute equality of husband and wife before the law, politically and aa to property; upon the death of either the children to share equally. Laws against the spoils system In politics. Laws to enforce greater economy In the administration of all political sub divisions. The platforms of all the political parties In the state already have de clared for some of these laws, the pro gressive platform carrying them now to a greater degree, but since all of the parties now have admitted women voters on an absolute equality there Is no doubt that each will incorporate all of the demands that will be made either In whole or in part.__ THE MOST FEMI NINE FEATURE._ The most feminine feature is tne mouth. The mouth can make or mar the face. It Is a merciless feature, for It Is an Infallible Index to character. It Indicates firmness, sullenness, cheer fulness, sensuality, hardness ami kind ness. It Is the weathervane of our face, betraying our moods with terrible fidelity. If the character Is naturally a beau tiful one, the ugliest mouth gains by It. If It Is not, the most beautiful mouth loses. To force a hard or un kind mouth Into a pretty position Is to give It an artificial look. Still, we can control the expressions of our mouth to a great extent. Youth generally means beauty, hut with age are apt to come tiny furrows and wrinkles In the lips. To help tills rub olive oil on them each night. Nothing ruins the lips so speedily as chapped lips. Never go out In win ter without rubbing a goodly amount of camphor Ice or vaseline on the lips. Do this when you come In. Carry a tin tube of It with your In your purse, and use it. It seems silly to say anything against the habits of biting or wetting tlio lips continually. Yet this la done with as tonishing regularity by women who otherwise are careful of their beauty. The old fable of bitting the Ups to m&ko them red Is long since disproved. The color, while It may flow Into the lips for the moment, quickly leaves them whiter, rougher and dryer than ever. Healthy lips are the reddest, TOUCH OF IRONY IN ISAAC’S FIRST CASE Ceremony of Swearing in Sir Rufus Rouses Widespread Interest Throughout All /[■Tip' - I England. London. Special; Sir Rufus Isaacs’ first case In court as the new Lord Chief Justice was given a Gilbert and Sullivan twist that has been causing subdued laughter ever since. The irony of the matter came from the fact that the new chief Justice, who was so recently Involved In speculations In wireless stock, was called upon to hear a stock exchange case. Sir Rufus Isaacs had taken the oaths of his office, and sat In the high seat of the Judge, and the first case was that of Abrahams, Jonas & Co. vs. Dennis and another. "M’lud,” began Hugo Young, " my sllents are well known stock brokers, •od the defendant, Dennis, Is a gentle man who from time to time speculated on the stock exchange. • • •” The new Lord Chief Justice of England listened appreciatively, and throughout all the case not a muscle of his Impassive face moved, not even when, later In the day, the cross-ex amining counsel flung words at Mr. Dennis that had an odd, familiar ring In them: "They were not Investments; they were speculations. You bought tor a rise.” The matter Itself was trlval enough —-a claim of £150 over a disputed Stock Exchange transaction—but to those who remembered recent events It seemed that the spirit of an Impish Puck had mode out the law lists so that on the very first morning that Sir Rufus Isaacs became the Lord Chlet Justice of England he should be faced With guiding the special Jury on the stlqueto of the Stock Exchange and Its transactions. ml_I — Din T) .. S__— .. Very Interesting spectacle, and long be fore the time appointed the court was crowded. The judge's gallery was bright with the colors of women's dresses. Famous JC. C.s sat row on row. Rarrlstors stood wedged In the well of the court, reaching to the door. Harry Isaacs, and near him Alfred Sutro, the new Lord Chief's broiherlnlaw, were In the court, and Godfrey Isaacs came in later. Then the associates from the other courts came in and grouped themselves below the bench—and there wus a pause. Abovo the empty throne of the judge, all carved mahogany and leather cushions, the lion and the unicorn of England stood their guard over the garter with lta motto, "Honl solt qul mal y pense.” Presently the heavy curtains parted, and all the dignity and splendor of the Judiciary of Eng land fled before the upstanding people. Sir Rufus Isaacs stood before them in trailing robes of scarlet and ermine. His face was astonishingly young, set In the gray frame of the Judge's full bottomed wig. He stood tall and slim, confronting the people without a tremer of nervousness, self-possessed, dignified and erect. On his right hand Lord Haldane waited. In the Lord Chancellor’s robes of gold and black, and on his left stood Sir H. H. Cozens-Hardy in the black and gold robes of the Master of the Rolls. Reaching along the bench, left and right the Judges lined up. A testament was handed to Sir Rufus Isaacs. HI# low voice rung out olear ly swearing allegiance to King George V, his heirs and successors according to law. Then, with a slight pause, he took another oath: L Rufus Daniel Isaacs, swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lord King George In the office of the Lord Chief Justice of England, and I will do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of The mouth makes or man the face, this realm, without fear or favor, affection or Ill-will. The new attorney general, Rlr John Rimon, rose from the well of the court “My lord, I move that the oath* now taken be recorded.” "Be It so, Mr. Attorney,” the Lord chief Justice said, taking his seat for the first time between the Lord Ohan« cellor and the Master of the Rolls. And Holdane spoke briefly then Sir John Simon eulogized Lord Alver Slr John Simon eulogized Lord Alver Btone In a brief speech, and then Chan cellor and Judges faded away. After a few minutes the new Lord Chiof Justice returned In a close wig, and without his ermine to deal with the stock ex change case. A Check on Speculation. From the Now York Times. The general opinion of national bank men thut a new currency law permitting rediscounting of commercial paper will bring about higher rates for call money has promoted much conjecture as to the future of Btock exchange business. The prediction has been made that the days pf giant markets are done and that “ lead ers” In great market movements will never more be heard of because marginal trading on a broad scale will no longer t>o possible. Btock exchange members of an analytical trend of mind accept this prophecy In part, but only In part. They argue that while a check will undoubtedly be placed on speculation of the more haz ardous sort, there never will cease to be speculation In securities so long as the cost of credit for the purpose lies within reasonable bounds. Call money will bo In sufficient supply, they believe, and at rates which. If not low, will be stable, thereby Insuring a condition of steadiness to the credit market that will preclude such sharp breaks In prices ns In the past when the banks started to call loans. The reform element on the hoard say that a firm call money market would be wel come. it would simplify their efforts to bring their business up to a standard be yond reproach. In Plain Black. From the St. Louis Republic. It Is said with some show of authority that Ambassador Gerard had Intended to present himself and his staff to the Ger man emperor In all the glory and gold lace of full diplomatic regalia, but that he changed the plan when a quiet hint was dropped In Washington that the "tra ditional black" would bo good enough and not, It la a fact that there waa no gold on the ambassador's coat and no feather In his hat when he was received at court. The controversy over what an American diplomat ought to wear Is about ns old as the deportment of state, and It probably never will be settled. On the one hand. It Is urged that devotion to the garb of plain democracy by our representatives abroad puts them at a disadvantage In the gorg eous and ceremonial courts of the old world and that refusal on their part to adopt a court costume amounts to rude ness On the other side Is ths sentiment that an American diplomat ought to rep resent America and that he does not rep resent Amorloa by Imitating Europe. The controversy Is not so vory Important, but the Republic Is Inclined to think that about nine-tenths of Its readers will bo glad that tire ambassador eschewed fur belows and held to the customs of his country. Up Hill AU the Time. A number of scientists have been ob serving the Immediate effect of high speed, heavy railroad trains In passing over the rails. Moving pictures and registering de vices indicate that there is a slight deflection of the rail In the center of the span between the ties at the tints a carwheel passes over it. In other words, It Is the theory that In effect a train Is going up hill even while passing over a level track, and that In ths aggregate of the number of wheels on a long and heavy train it re quires a large amount of energy to overcome this series of slight grades caused by the rail deflection between ties. The solution of this problem has not yet been suggested, but It Is stated, without confirmation, that Edison has been working on It. Captain Matthew A. Batson and his as by any sudden upward current Savannah. Ga. Special: On some bright morning within the next several weeks the Batson hydro-aeroplane, which has been created on Dutch Is land, near Thunderboldt, by Capt. Mat thew A. Batson, U. S. A., retired, will be sent skimming from the aerodrome Into the Herb river for a thorough try out. If this proves satisfactory—»rnd It Is confidently expected that It will be—the dual water-air craft will soon hereafter be sent Into the air. The models of the airship have flown faith fully, and Captain Batson sees no reason why the actual machine should not do likewise. The entire machine Is now assembled—the flying section having been affixed to the boat hull several days ago. It Is the Intention of Captain Batson, who will personally pilot the airship In Its Initial flights, to navigate the vessel Into the broad reaches of the Wilming ton river, and to make the first trial flights in the direction of Wilmington island. Two government officials, who have been Invited to witness the tryout are expected to reach Savannah short ly, and It Is understood that upon their arrival preparations for the first at tempt nt flying will shape up rapidly. Machine • Freight Carrier, Captain Baston expects his largest source of revenue to come eventually from the governments of the world, which will use his machines for a(my aviation purposes in preference to the unstable machines now In commission because of its superiority of construc tion and lifting and carrying capacity. He expects to also be the first to navi gate the air for commercial purposes. hydro-aeroplane in flight. In upper pic of air; lower picture shows position of Of a size to permit the carrying of sufficient fuel for a two days’ run, the big machine will not have to descend i to replenish its supply on the long : flight from Savanah to New York, : which will be attempted immediately i after the trial flights. If that flight ! proves satisfactory, then the first ; flight across the Atlantic ocean will be ; undertaken. This air craft, unlike any others, will have a normal speed ca paclty of 100 miles an hour. Under fa vorable conditions it will be able to at- 1 tain much greater speed than that. Its ' U-foot propellers make 1,000 revolutions a minute. Plans Ocean Voyage. Within a year from the date of the trial flights, If the present plans ’ of the Inventor do not miscarry, there ( will be operated between Savannah and < Liverpool, Kngland, a line of passenger i carrying air craft which will make the I trip across the Atlantic In 36 hours. The Batson aero yacht will carry about three tons dead weight In ad- < dltion to its own weight. Instead of i being comprised of a single plane or : pair of planes, the carrying surface is i distributed over a large number of i wings of moderate size. These are at tached to the chasis so as to yield to i the extra stresses caused when the ( machines encounters those great ; “boulders" of the air, just as I the springs of an automobile ! yield when an uneven road is 1 encountered, and by yielding pre- i vent the machine from upsetting or be- ] ing literally jarred to pieces. The mechanism controlling the "an gle of Incidence” of the wings Is so i turo second wing is shown raised, rudders to bank machine in turning. irranged that should all the engines b* stopped the wings will at once and lutomatically be set at a safe gliding ingle, and the machine descend by a series of long glides, during which tli< lilot maintains his control of the stear ng wheel, and can conduct the de scent so as to avoid obstacles in land ng. The weight is so adjusted in con lection with the sustaining surfaces hat the machine cannot upset. In urning the machine is banked by neans of one forward and two aft rud lers, the forward one being level with he extreme upper portion of the ma •hine and the two aft ones being level vith the extreme lower portion of the nachine. These rudders are set to the vind in such a way as to properly lank the machine in making a turn in sither direction. In addition the angle if incidence in the wings is alternated so as to assist in guiding the machine n the direction desired. Machine Has Three Engines. The motive power consists of three mgines and four propellers, each en gine independently operateable and ilone of sufficient power to drive the nachine safely in flight. In starting ill three engines may be utilized after vhich one is stopped to be afterwards hrown in again to relieve one of the ithers, in this way giving each engine ilternate periods of rest, or enabling t to be stopped for repairs without de fending and without affecting the light of the machine. A streamline :ar affords ample accommodations for lasscngers, where they may be as com ortable as in the cabin of a steamer, deans are provided for starting from ir alighting on either water or land. ENGLAND'S KING IS RULED BY ENGLAND’S PUEEN, SAYS RUMOR She Makes of Her Husband a Consoit, Rather Than a King, Except When Incensed Statesmen Reg ister Protest. Eondon. Special: An Anglo-Ameri can woman, whose wit and savolr falre made her a great favorite with the late king of England, Is credited with a mot which Is now going the rounds of Eondon society. "We had the court cf Queen Vic toria,” she said, "then the court of King Edward, and now we have the court of Queen Mary.” Those members of society who fall to see the point of the joke—report has it that there are some—have It pointed out to them that King George occupies much the same position In the royal menage as did that of the poor Prince Consort who could not havo a dish he liked put In the menu without first consulting Queen Victoria. While some allowance must be made for exaggeration in this statement. It Is a fact that King George's reliance on his wife has been carried to a degree of self effacement which strikes all members of the court circle. Promi nent and responsible members of the royal establishment are all now so fa miliar with the reply, "I think you had better consult the queen." when they seek King George’s directions about any matter In connection with the management of the household that they frequently d< so without consulting ms majesty at all. It saves time. The lists of persons to be asked tc the court functions and entertainments for the first two years of the king's reign were always made out by Lore Stamfordham and sent by him to tht lord chamberlain's office, whence tht Invitations were sent out. Now the In vitation lists are made out by Ladj Bertha Dawkins and Lady Eva Dug dale at the queen’s direction, and seni to the lord chamberlain's office without ever being shown to the king. Cases have iwtually occurred of names betns sent to the lord chamberlain's office bj Lord Stamfordham of persons whoir the king desired to have asked to t court function who nevertheless wer< not Invited. No Voice as to Children. The predominating influence in th< bringing up of the royal children has of course, been that of their mother whose decision in all matters is simplj echoed by their father. It was Queei Mary who decided that the Prince o Wales should go to Oxford: It wa: the queen who selected the Pollings wood as the ship on which Prince A1 hert should make his debut as a mid tly; It was her majesty who son prince llenry to Eton and Princi George to St. Peter's court, Broad stairs. King George Is apparently quite un conscious of being what one membe of the royal entourage called him, on of the "most henpecked men in hi kingdom. Anyway, if his majesty is aware o It he accepts the fact with complaeen Indifference ami possibly rather con gratulaied hintself that so far as th conduct of affairs at court is eon cerned. his consort relieves him of th performance of duties In which he doe not take the least Interest. Howevet, If George Is willing to le the queen be king, there are thos a. •>u; him who are nr' at all dispose to do so, and of late his majesty has received one or two pointed reminders of this fact. For example, during the last few months the queen was pres ent at official interviews between King George and some of his cabinet. These interviews take place in the king’s writing room in his personal apart ment, which Queen Mary, also of late, has taken to use as a writing room, with the result that she has sometimes been in the room on the arrival of a minis ter and remained there during the in terview. At last representations were made by Premier squith to Lord Stam fordham that some of his colleagues objected to the presence of the queen during their interviews on state af fairs with the sovereign, and Lord Stamfordham, who by no means ap proves of the authority Queen Mary exercises In the royal household, read ily enough undertook to convey the prime minister's message to both their majesties, with the result that minis terial audiences with the sovereign are now no longer attended by his con sort. Rebuked by Lord Chamberlain. More recently still, Queen Mary re ceived a respectful, but plain remind er from the lord chamberlain that she was taking upon herself an authority that properly belonged only to the king. This was when Queen Mary notified the lord chamberlain through Walling ton, of her desire to have some alter ations made in the hours for the de livery of letters to Buckingham pal ace. The alterations were made, but the instructions had to come direct from the king before they were. Queen Mary, in fact, is attempting to do what Lord Knollys warned her, after King George came to the throne, not to try and do, to boss the court. “Outside your private apartments let George be king," was the old courtier's advice to her majesty. It is said she has never forgiven him for offering it, and never has shown any signs of following it. 4- AND MEN. 4 4- ♦ From the American Magazine. “ ‘What do you like in the handicap?’ I asked, looking up from the form sheet. "Blister reached for the paper. ’In digo's the class,’ he said, after a glance at the entries. 'If they run to form, he’ll cop.' “ ‘There you go again, with your class!’ I exclaimed. 'You’re always talking about class! What does class ' mean ?’ 1 " ‘Long as you're been hangin’ round the track n' not know what class means!' Blister looked at me pityingly, i 'There's no class to that,’ he added with a grin. “ 'Seriously now,’ I urged. ‘Explain ■ it to me. Class as you call It, is beaten i right along.

From the Springfield Republican. Manufacturing New England Is In much better condition than what one may call railroad New England. The past year with Fall River cotton mills may be iudged ty the fact that the average rate of dividends has been 7.07 per cent above the average of former years. In New Bedford, new mills are being talked of. No one is now predicting the ’’ruin” of our cotton textile Industry, upon which the prosperity of New England so largely depends.

Persons born between Janu ary 21 and February 19 are said to be es I>eeially susceptible to these influences. Curiosity is piqued durins the unfriend ly sway of Uranus, so that trouble be tween friends Is oftentimes produced. Restlessness and discontent also are sen erated by the virbatlons of the planet to which are attributed strange, oeculte and magnetic powers. There is a prophecy that railway trou bles will disturb the country during the winter. A London astrologer foretells anxiety for the king of Norway, who will be dis turbed by international disputes.
