Parent-Teachers Association Is Gentle in Handling Automobile Question
The motor car has also loomed up as the big problem of educational forces of Kansas City as well as one of the University's. Kansas City mothers who are interested in the Parent-Teacher Association are in elicited to handle this problem gently by writing a piece which appeared in the Star.

Members of the Parent-Teacher Association are divided in their sentiment as to whether students should drive cars. All practically agreed that the question was one for the board of education to decide.
"And students aren't going at such an awful gait. I盯, when fun I when in school, and I will trust the high school students today. They're not bad. I think any high school students should be taught to should go after, and go after hard, is to pound into the parents the idea of bringing their children up right when they are young, and then there won't be so much fuss about the rapid declines of youth," were favorable remarks made by Mrs. Graham, teacher of the Parent's Association.
Lied up against Mrs. Graham is Mrs. William Ullman, of Springfield, state president of the Parent Teacher Association, who said, "He is not a teacher and he certainly not in ours. I favor some sort of legislation in this matter."
"Why legislate?" I think without question that we should appeal to the students to use discretion, and not to stand on snobbishness. These bars are ridiculous, but it is also ridiculous to demand that the students do not drive motor cars to school. In some cases it is necessary to ride in cars on account of the great distances students have to travel.
Calls Car Ban Ridiculous
Board Cannot Act
William I. Cannfield, 612 Gumbel building, wrote a letter Thursday to the board of education demanding that the board make a ruling demanding that the board make a ruling prohibiting students from driving motor cars to high schools. The board announced that it had no power to make such a ruling and promptly passes the teacher Association, Mrs. Gehman will read Mr. Cannfield's letter Monday at a meeting of the presidents of the sixty-six parent-teacher circles, and ask for opinions.
The Rev. George Elton Harris, speaking before his congregation at the Calvary Baptist church, intimated that he did not approve of any movement to prohibit students from coming to school in motor cars.
"A student should be able to control his or her desires according to their means. Environment of this kind are no cause for lawness, nor should they be considered an excuse," the pastor said.
Organize to Save Mission
Native Daughters Urge That i be Made State Park
An effort is being made by the Native Daughters of Kansas to influence the state legislature to pass legislation for the preservation of old historic landmarks in Kansas. In a letter to the chancellor's office from this society, it is urged that the Mission be made into a state park. This is one of many letter being sent out to colleges and universities of Kansas.
"We ask that you lend your influence, first by helping to create a state-wide consciousness of the need of taking possession of the Shawnee in the name of the people. It is suggested that the statement be read as "the Shawnee and that they be urged to discuss it in their homes," save the letter.
"This having been done, will you address letters to the governor, the senator, and the representatives from your district, urging them to give their word on this matter," the news site now pending, which provides for Shawnee Mission's acquisition?
Three venerable brick building are all that remain of the thirteenth that once composed the old Shawnee Mission. They nestle in little valley in Johnson County, a few minutes' ride from the city limits of Rosaleda. Shawnee Mission was built in 1839 and the first legislature of Kansas held its first session then in 1855.

Charles E. Duffie, director of advertising and promotion for the M. E. Smith Company of Omaha, spoke this morning on a move to turnover in the number of times the capital invested in a stock is received back in sales in a given time; the sales always being the biggest of the merchandise," Mr. Duffie said.
"The only way in which turnover can be figured exactly is to show the amount of stock on hand each day, and to figure this at cost. There is nothing mysterious about it, as some people seem to think Turnover is a secret." Turnover is one of the most important means of increasing our profits."

Nature puts Hazard in Links After Golf Fan has his Course Laid out, Says K. U. Geologist
A region honey-combed with caves and abounding in sink-holes is described by Cary G. Croneius, instructor in the department of geology, who assisted in the mapping of Giles County, West Va., last summer.
The astounding feature of the sinkholes is their rapid development and appearance. A man acquired a water hazard on his golf course by the simple expedient of plugging in the hole after the golf course was laid out.
In mapping the region, in 1884, the sink-hole were so insignificant as to be overlooked. Since that time they have become the most important feature of the topography. Instead of mapping the heights, the depths are measured. In the memory of some of the oldest natives, some of the largest ones have developed. Often a fence is left hanging over a new hole.
The region is very similar to that of the famous Luray Cavern in the Shemandah valley, but is less well

known because caverns and springs are also an important permanent location in connection work in the limestone, of which the region is made up. An especially interesting cave is the "Salt-Peter" cave, known since the Civil War and used as a source of salt for the South.
Names and dated carved in the walls of the caves have in some cases been there since 1840. In one cave the name Woolwine, that of an old southern family, now Pittsburgh steel magnets, appear to have been a favorite playground for the young people of the day.
