One of the few Kansas women to have a place in ``Who's Who'' was the late Amanda T. Jones of Junction City. She was one of the most prolific poets of Kansas. Her ``Atlantic'' is a story of the rebellion; ``Utah and Other Poems;'' ``A Prairie Idyl;'' ``Flowers and a Weed;'' and ``Rubaiyat of Solomon Valley'' are volumes of verse. Her prose: ``Children's Stories,'' ``Fairy Arrows'' and ``The White Blackbird;'' ``A Psychic Autobiography,'' published in 1908; ``Man and Priest,'' a story of psychic detection; ``Mother of Pioneers,'' and a novel ready for publication, ``A Daughter of Wall St.'' Miss Jones originated a working women's home and patented many inventions, mostly household necessities. * * * * CHARLOTTE F.
