Through her interest in the theater Miss Hoopes has developed a collection of souvenir books purchased at performances.
"I haven't missed an outstanding play given in Kansas City or the immediate vicinity for a half century," she said.
Miss Hoopes, a woman of many interests, has developed a collection of exquisitely designed Chinese snuff-bottles. This unique collection includes bottles of jade, rose quartz, carved glass, and agate. One of the bottles is made of silver and plated with gold. Hand painted scenes and designs on the insides of the bottls beautify many of the creations.
A collection of foreign Bibles from seven countries tops the hobbies of Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor emerita of English.
While traveling abroad in 1922, Miss Hoopes saw the famous Passion Play which is given every 10 years by the villagers of Oberammergau, Bavaria. The play is eight hours in length. From this trip, she began a collection of travel books which has enlarged through the years.
Her collection of Bibles includes volumes in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Welsh, Swedish, Hungarian, and German. The German Bible, a Luther translation, was published in 1519. It is bound in calf skin with copper clasps. A Bible with parallel Greek and Latin columns is included in the set.
"Being on the lookout for items to enlarge my collections adds so much while traveling," Miss Hoopes said.
Kansas Has Small 1949 Wheat Crop
Miss Hoopes is currently lecturing and writing. She has had several book reviews published in the Dallas Times Herald this fall.
Topcka, Dec. 20 — (U.P.) — Kansas, the nation's No. 1 wheat state, this year grew its smallest crop since 1941, a final agricultural sizeup showed today. Yet, at the same time, Kansas had a good corn年, the U.S. department of agriculture noted in the year-end report.
The wheat crop, that nosedived in prospects beginning in the past June, even lost ground in the eyes of government experts the past two years. The manmate was off three million bushels from the early fall estimate.
The corn crop, on the other hand, kept improving with succeeding surveys by agriculture department observers. The final figure was 73.196,-000 bushels, up near four million from the September estimate. The yield was smaller than 1948's 81.-304.000 bushels, but it was sharply higher than the poor 40 million bushel harvest in 1947.
Kansas wheat production was 164,208,000 bushels, off more than 68 million from 1948 and down some 122 million from the mammoth harvest in 1947.
Clinton. Ia. — (U,P)— An over- anxious pheasant hunter paid a $10 fine for a bird he didn't get.

Chats With Wrong Stranger
pheasant flew up. Eberle blasted away, and the stranger introduced himself. He was the game warden, Maurice Jensen.
Independence, Kan. — (uP)—Miss Mabel Thomas said she could not buy another chicken with the 50 dollar she appreciated the remittance.

"About 30 years ago I killed a chicken which belonged to you ... I'm sorry, but I was hungry."

"This is a signal honor for Dr. Smith and for the University for him to be chosen for the exacting job, of program chairman of the important annual conference," Dr. Hall said.
Dr. Smith Named Program Chairman
Dr. Carlyle S. Smith, assistant curator in anthropology in the Museum of Natural History, has been appointed program chairman for the 8th Plains conference. The conference is an annual meeting of archaeologists and anthropologists with interests in the Great Plains region.
Man Jailed For Singing Hymns
The conference will be held next summer somewhere in the Great Plains area, said Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the Museum of Natural History.
Duncan, Okla. —(U.P.) -Singing hymns too loudly in a local church sent one Duncan man to jail. Police, called by church deacons, booked the enthusiastic singer for public drunkenness.
Washington, Dec. 21.—(U.R.)-Federal judge Henry A. Schweinhaut said today that he will rule in January on motions to dismiss the 14-month-old "lobbying" indictment against Rodger C. Slaughter of Kansas City, Mo.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury in October, 1948, on charges of failing to register as a lobbyist for several Midwest grain exchanges. He insists he was not a lobbyist, but an attorney for the Kansas City and Chicago boards of trade, and for the Minneapolis grain exchange.
Slaughter is a former Democratic congressman from Missouri whose primary election defeat was urged by President Truman in 1946.
His attorneys completed arguments the past March on a motion for dismissal. They contended the lobbyist registration act was unconstitutional, that its provisions would not apply to lawyers even if it were, and that the indictment itself was faulty in that it did not specify the occasions or dates on which Slaughter alleedly violated the act.
Lobby Case Set For January
Schweinhaut said he has not ruled on the motion yet because he is a member of a three-judge statutory court hearing a National Association of Manufacturer's challenge to the constitutionality of the lobbying law.
