Kansas City's street shower bath is max
ing a hit with that most suspicious of all
mortsls-the street urchin. This device is
the invention of e.. t. Brigham, superin-
tendent of the Helping Hand Institute
OF that city, but as no patents have been
taken out, It is available to anyone any
where.
In rigging up this bath three lengths OF
galvanized water pipe and a shower bath
attachment are needed. One section of the
pipe is attached horizontally to a city fire
plug. From this, as shown in the picture,
rises a five-foot section, to which is at
tached the shower proper. The horizontal
section is an inch In circumference and
the PERPENDICULAR section three-quarters Of

Not Yet Made
Building Plans
Still a Little Uncertainty as to Elk.
sctly What Will Be Done by
the Order.

The Woodmen hung a ven Of mystery
over their building site Saturday morning
1t was voted the afternoon previous that
the old building shall be moved directly
back and that the new building shall go
up in its place. An official announcement
Of this decision by the executive council
was given out
At the Saturday morning. session 1t was
voted to refer the matter Of getting bids
for the moving Of the old building to the
regular building committee. This is in
accord with the decision TO build on the
old site. But J. C. Root and other mem
bers of the council refuse to say positively
that this plan will be pursued.
There is a chance for something sur
prising yet" said Mr.. Root.
He was asked If 1t was contemplating re-
considering.
Il have made no such notion" he de-
clared. Every parliamentary body can re-
consider In the next two meetings"
Meanwhile the official vote stands in
favor OF the old site. Real estate men who
hoped TO sell the Woodmen something were
eager to believe that the matter is not
definitely settled and could see a tactical
move in the action OF the council Friday.
1t is known that some offers have been
reduced at the last minute.
Most Of the morning was spent by the
council in booking over prospective sketches
by architects. Four were submitted. One
is by Jarvis Hunt Of Chicago, another by
+. A. Hennhnger of Omaha, a third by
Goldman Starret of Chicago and the fourth
by Fisher q Lawrie.
The council adjourned at 12:3O to attend
the picnic at Ralston. Sessions will be
resumed Monday morning.

even the most v%entursome held back on the
matter OF costume. The question was set
tied by the youngsters in their own way
by running home and putting on a shirt
and pair OF knee trousers even more dill
apadated than the ones they we're wearing.
This decided, there was not more doubt as
TO the patronage OF the bath. The shower
attachment, being about seven feet above
the pavemnt is high nough to permit a
horse to stand underneath.
The Helping Hand Institute, among It's
useful functions, provides free indoor baths
for men and boys, but many youngsters
SHE'D off from a place where the means to
apparently excessive cleanliness was con-
cealed. Thereupon Mr.. Brigham went upon
the theory that II the boy would not come
to the bath, the next best thing would be
to bring the bath 10 the boy.
II this is Of such service in Kansas City,
why couldn't It be adopted in Omaha? The
device is not patented, but may be used
by any community.
