MODISH Wells,

Wells are more important than ever in
the calculation OF the fashionable, and
the s%wathing, floating folds of chiffon
and net are tremendously becoming II
artistically adjusted. The lace veil is
already a winter ~favorite, and the
Tosca nets with decorative borders are
also popular. White net dotted in black
and embroidered in a vine trailing floral
design above a hem of white chiffon is
one OF the new things.

one for each division on the system.
All the branches of each division are
indicated by index cards in their re-
spective sections, and the different
classes or subjects under which the
plans are filed are indexed by finder
cards with subjects distinctly marked,
such as alignment, under which is
given in detail on each card for the
individual plan showing the alignment
of the branch, and under profiles the
road under bridges, all bridges, etc.
These finder cards cover twenty sub
jects in all, so that when the division,
branch and class of plan wanted are
known, the index card can be located
Immediately, showing the section and
the letter of shelf or drawer with the
number showing its location.
A separate section is reserved for

Gated on separate finder card fol-
lowed by an Individual index card,
giving information for each plan. This
same method is used for an index of
plans of work under construction. "A
similar method Is used for filing the
aliases and maps of cities, counties
and states. which are of great interest
to the Baltimore & Ohio. An effort is
made to purchase all aliases and
maps as soon as published. in order
that this file can be as complete as
possible. A separate room is provided
for filing note books on surveys, and
these books are indexed so that any
information gotten in the field can be
obtained at any time from the orig
inal notes.

in which are installed a vertical
cylindrical machine and a continuous
Will'~ms, Brown and Earle blue
printer. Both of these machines print
by electricity, but the latter is an
automatic machine that washes and
dries the prints as fast as they are
printed on the continuous roll; re-
curing one boy to feed the tracing
and one to cut the prints as they
emerge from the machine. BY this
method one continuous print 80 yards
long can be made with as much ease
as a print one foot square. The
length of the prints is limited only
by the length of rolls of blue print
paper received. With this machine
two boys can turn out IL rolls of blue
prints so yards long in one day.

EXCESS BAGGAGE RATES.
Jobbers and Commercial Travellers to
Resist the New Ones.


Jobbers, merchants and commercial
travellers have begun a concerted
movement to resist the action of the
western and southwestern roads in
increasing the excess baggage rate
from 121a per cent of the one-way
rate to Is per cent. This was done
with the view of maintaining excess
baggage revenues where they were
and to prevent their reduction by the
2-cent passenger rate laws.
In taking the action indicated the
railroad associations named seem to
have overlooked the fact that there
are laws on the statute books of at
least several of the western states
making 121h per cent of the regular
one-way rate the legal excess bag
gage rate, and the commercial inter-
ests named claim that under these
laws the roads have no legal right to
increase the rate. At all events, it is
proposed to invoke these laws, and
refuse to pay the increased rate, or to
pay it only under protest, so that the
ground may be laid for its future re-
covery from the roads. ,
Certain commercial organizations
in st. Louis have taken action in the
matter by calling the attention of At
torney General Hadley of Missouri to
the action of the roads in the pre-
misses and to the state law which they
are violating. They have asked him
to take the steps necessary to have
the law enforced, and have under
taken to supply all the evidence nee
essary to secure the conviction or
roads charged with its breach

B. & O. Has New Filing System
in Engineering Department.
It's Believed to Be Most Com
plete in Country.
OLD WAY CUMBERSOME
Some Remarkable Blue Print
Machines in Use.
Other Items of Interest tt
Railway People.

The filing system in use in the en-
cheering department of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad is believed to
be the most complete method of keep
ing a record of the numberless pa
pers, blue prints, drawings, tracings,
ETC.. of any railroad in the country,
and the visitor to the department in
the General Office building is some
what surprised to learn of the manner
IN which this branch of the depart
ment is conducted.
The system is a marked departure
from the methods of filing in use in
the other large railroad offices of the
country, and is a compilation of the
best features of q number of the large
systems When the engineering de-
partment moved into their commodi-
Gus quarters in the new building Mr..
d. D. Carothers, chief engineer of the
road, sent Mr.. J. H. Milburn, his chief
draughtsman, to the home offices of a
number Of the large railroad systems
to make personal inspection of their
filing systems in order to obtain ideas
for use in installing such service on
the Baltimore & Ohio.
The file cases for plans are in a fire
proof vault. These cases are finished
in light oak, and all of them are
specially designed for their particular
purpose. The plans on file in this Of
hce cover all the construction work
and surveys. as well as plans giving
general information of the road and
properties as now operated.
The old system of filing by means of
a large ledger index, and which was
in use prior to the Baltimore fire, has
is very much simpler and enables the
locating of a blue print, ETC., in a
very much shorter time.
The index is divided into sections,

Emporfa Normal Football Eleven
Take Up Seasons Work.


= Emporia, Kan, Sept. r6,--Footban uni
forms were issued Thursday by the
Normal Athletic association to thirty
students who desire to play this year.
The normal will have two coaches, Paul
Samson, the physical director, and Owen
Samuel, who was coach for. the College
OF Enpor1a last year. Samuel did good
work for the college team and before
that for the high school.
Samuel has returned home from
vacation in Colorado and took charge
of the men in the afternoon Samson
will still help with the work, though his
other duties will keep him from giving
much time to football Nearly all of
last years players are in school, while
some members of last years freshrnna
team will be eligible and some players
of former years will be in school again.
waldorf, center; Burton, left guard;
Appletrad, right guard; Honska, right
tackle, all of last years team, are here.
The man most missed of last years
team will be Edgar Forde, who for sew
erai years has been a star tackle. Forde
is going to the university this fall. A
candidate to fill his place is George
Rorark, who played on the scrubs last
year. For the ends and halves there are
Bill Rorark, Forbes of last years fresh
man team, Golf, Rhine and Decker who
played snappy end two years ago and
is again in school. To fill Bright's place
at quarter is Campbell, of last seasons
freshman team.
In addition to these men there is
Ingram Forde and Fatty Mulvaney,
who played center for the high school
when he was younger. Chef Picken is
candidate for first team honors, and
he may be worked out with Campbell
for quarter. Other possibilities are
Gard, Owens, Balch and Isaacs. For the
freshman team there is a promising
bunch of material.
