HELPING TO SAVE
Topeka Women Find Numer
ous Kinds of War Economy.
Some ETen Wear Husband's
Overalls To Save Dresses.
USE ALARM CLOCKS NO MORE;
Ko, Indeed! They Get Up at 7
O'clock Without Them.
Husbands Expected To Be Sat
isfied With Lean Menus.
Economy! War Econotny! ! The
most hated words of the household!
Long has the husband condemned the
phrase. And recently have the chil
dren deserted their mothers ai-ron
strings to join with the men in their
denunciation of "the facts" supported
by the words. The merchants, tho,
have Kttick close by the side of the
housewife in excusing oversights, un
reasonable demands and penny pirch
lnp methods. They, too, insist that
war is a terrible thins and that the
husband must suffer.
And the women's clubs' are respon
sible for the whole thin?. At least that
If the advice of any sane and human
husband. Not only has the butterfly
that was wont to scintillate in the
social orbit of Topeka promised to
cast aside her fluffies but she has in
vaded the wardrobe of her husband,
stolen his overalls and declared that
the robbery was in the name of "war
time economy." That is the first" of
fense. Meal Time Kxcuses.
The second offenH that femininity
has perpetrated upon man is expound
ed at every meal. No meat, no sugar,
little bread and tons of rice and oceans
of skimmed milk. That is ihe menu
that has driven frying pans from the
hook and sent them thru the "inspir
ing air of home." only to col.ide with
the most fragile vase of the "inspir
ing" parlor. In a smaller way these
same inspirations have been received
by kids. They howl, thev fight ond
some nearly cuss. But then it is war
times.
The domestic side of the man is once
more assailed in the evening when,
since Adam first took to sitting up
nights, Jights have been aglow. Now
in the somber shades of the front
porch or in the dark, husband and
wife once more thresh out "war econ
omy." It is truly insiring to the
neighbors. The movies are the only
place where it is supposed to be dark.
Home is to be lighted with intelligence
and electricity.
The ideal home, according to a con
current decision rendered by the
amalgamated order of excusing house
wives, war brides and "war wives." is
th one where two meatless days each
week, three potatoless days, three
milkless and four breadless and seven
tobaccoless days are observed.
From the woman's standpoint,

Theda Bara will appear Monday and
Tuesday at the Gem in "Gold and
tho Woman." The play tells of an
Indian curse which becomes felt thru
four generations. Miss Bara is seen
as a Mexican adventuress.
Wednesday and Thursday Mar
guerite Clark will star in "Pretty Sis

Friday and Saturday Harry Carey
will appear in "Straight Shooting," a

Maline co-stars with Carey.
This week's run at the Gem will
close tonight with Dorothy Dalton in
"The Flame of the Yukon." a tale of
northern dance halls and if fighting
men and pretty women.
which is usually just the other side of
right, many men believe, "war econ
omy" is a great thing. They arise at
7 o'clock in the morning, without the
aid of an alarm clock to save the
energy of silencing the demon in the
morning hours, descend to the kitchen,

toes that were held over from the last
"potato day," shave a loaf of bread
that was purchased two weeks ago,
and "feed" the man who has been
bringing in the "daily bread" for the
last five years.
The second stream of blessings of
"war economy" is ushered in shortly
after breakfast, when the husband is
on the street car saving sole leather.
Then the housewife runs to the tele
phone to save steps and calls up
the next door neighbor, v'no likewise
saves steps and jumps from her chair
to the telephone stand. Here they
chat. There is nothing els to do but
to knit for "Sammies" anl for "Blue
Jackets" and talk of the "funny men."
There is nothing more to do because
this is a meatless day, a potatoless
day and all that there is to prepare
for supper is soup. And the soup, ac
cording to the husband is noi "burned"
because the wife saves gas Then
at night it is the same story over
again no lights, much talk, movie
and home in the dark.
As for the man well, . he must
shave himself, shine his own shoes,
steal his matches, give up cigars, for
get his former freedom and fall for
the "flag of freedom."
WATERS IS CONFIRMED
Official O. K. Placed on Food Con
trol Appointment of Kansan.
Official confirmation of the ap
pointment of Dr. Henry J. Waters to
take charge of the food control work
in Kansas has been received in To
peka. Announcement of the appoint
ment of the head of the state defense
council was made nearly two weeks
i ago.
Doctor "Waters will be placed in
charge of the food control campaign
in Kansas by Herbert Hoover, fed
eral food director. He will co-operate
with the federal government in
the work of regulating consumption
and preventing the hoarding of

Her Path of Flight.

3 She rose and swooped a second
time.
4 Looping the loop completely.
6 She regains her former level.

when suddenly, to the terror of spec
tators 7 she turned her machine head-on
towards earth.
5 For 1,000 feet her biplane dived
as straight as a plummet.
9 Then she swerved Into a grace
ful curve and alighted smoothly near
her hanger.
Who is :t? Why it's 20-year-old
Katherine Stinson. the highest priced
woman aviator in the world, who will
thrill spectators at the Kanssas Free
Fair, to be held In Topeka September
10 to 15.
The flight pictured here is one
made by her at Sheepshead Bay last
year. Just for fun, and told about in
the World Magazine by Norah Meade,
a special writer. Miss Stinson has
made dozens of similar flights, but it
Just happens that no artist ever be
fore attempted to put her line of
flight on paper.
Out in California, one dark night,
an artist with a camera caught her
path of flight because it was marked
by a trail of fire. She had tolches
on her big biplane and went up at
night without announcement to see
whether or not she could loop and
swoop, and dip and curve in such
manner as to spell the abbreviation of
Golden state in fire. She did it. When
the flight was over and the film was
developed "Cal." written in a "flow
ing hand" appeared upon it.
War Flying Old Staff.
Miss Stinson has thrilled more spec
tators than any other woman aviator
and more than most of the men who
are flying for exhibition purposes.
Many of the stunts dispatches ascribe
to aviators on the west front in
Europe are old stuff to this Texas girl.
She is as much at home .n her big
biplane as most girls at 'he wheel of
an automobile. So thorclv familiar
is she with the machine that in many
flights she has neglected to costume
for them and has stepped into the ma
chine in some soft, clinging afternoon
gown, loosened her hair, waved her
hand at the crowd and climbed a
thousand feed in thw air before" spec
tators realized she was ready to start.
Besides making her own flights in
Topeka Miss Stinson will race in her
biplane with Fred Horey champion
dirt track auto driver of ..he world.
Horey, on the track, will attempt to
drive around it at a greater speed
than Miss Stinson who wiil be hover
ing over him in her plane
Nothing more thrilling will be seen
in Kansas this year than the sensa
tional flights to be made bv Miss Stinson.
