Report Exaggerated,
*.Dead’ Artist Says
MANHATTAN, Kan. —0?'— A
Manhattan newspaper in an article
about Kansas artists referred to
Charles B. Rogers, professor of art
at Bethany College. Lindsborg.
"Charles Rogers," the article read.
‘was another outstanding man in
fhe art world during his lifetime.
Not long afterward came a reply
from Rogers.
"I’ve been in this art profession
’ 20 years, which is long enough to
| kill most people.” he wrote, "and
some of my enemies claim I am
dead in part. Others wish I were,
But my friends Insist I'm very much
alive.”
Rogers said he wouldn't mind the
report if it resulted in an immed
| late demand for his work—at high
prices. But, he said, such was not
j the case.

j Griff in Bride Can Learn
i
j
Griffin Brides— BUI
Griffin brides may have to go to
Sew York to do it, but here s a
chance for them to learn how .0
cook the pleasant way—on their
honeymoons.
Mack Weiner, resort operator, be
lieves a bride should learn how to
run a kitchen at the same time sheL
finding out how to run a husband.
Weiner ‘presides at White Roe
Lake at Livingston Manor, in up
state New York. The resort caters
to honeyniooners. 'and is typical ot
most mountain playgrounds except
for one thing.
j Weiner has started an intensive
cooking course for brides, a course
which he says grew out of "my own
sad experience •Immediately after I
married.”
i Weiner said. "My wife was a per
| feet dream girl to look at but hupe
| less when turned loose in the kit
chen.
"At first we just joked about her
poor cooking, but’as time went oy,
mealtime became an explosive oc
casion,'' he elaborated.
He said lhat after a few months
of bicarbonate of soda and fanni,
quarrels, "I took matters in hand
and started t eaching the missus
what you do with pots and pans."
Happy Ending
“I dug up all my old textbooks,'
he continued, "and proceeded to
conduct a home experiment in do
mestic science.”
Weiner said the story ended hap-
1 pily, for his wife eventually t>e
came a kitchen artist. But the
whole tiling caused him to open
the cooking classes at White Roe
last year for the first time so oih*?r
