WORKERS IN FOWLER EARN REAL MONEY
and
Students Turn Out Materia To Fill Commercial Department's Orders
op
Kan
The commercial department of Fowler shops gives employment to from six to ten engineers each month, enabling them to earn the price of admission to the moving picture emporiums or to defray the expenses of a moonlight bortride on the Kaw as often as their eighty-five hours of work will permit them to go.
This work consists of making materials to fill rush orders that are sent to the commercial department. It includes foundry work, castings, turning, etc., and tedious duplicate work such as making threads on a large number of bolts with nuts to fit. In work of the latter kind, "labor long" employed beginser is able to thread about one bolt an hour while a skilled student will turn out 200 or more in half a day.
One student has worked for the last two or three weeks repairing the engine in the mechanical laboratory. He has taken the engine apart, cleaned it, and made new parts for the old ones that were worn. Jobs of this length, however, are the exe- cition.
The amount earned by each student working varies from $3 to $15 each month.

-FISCHER'S SHOES ARE GOOD SHOES.
White Footwear
The first warm day that first brings out lighter suits and frocks often makes a woman feel dissatisfied with her shoes. Are they a shade too heavy for warm young May? Or a little too dark for cool summer apparel? Or showing signs of wear from a long blustering Spring?
Many women who make these discoveries today will be glad to remember the satisfying values and variety of Fischer's White Shoes, Pumps and Slippers at $2.50 to $4.00. Here she may gratify her taste and desire for just the right style, material and make-up, and feel assured that her selection is correct.
