Why WATER IS MUDDY.
Fire Plugs Were Opened to Make
Tests.

The cause of the muddy water
throughout the city today comes from
the series of tests made by the nation
al underwriters on the Topeka water
works system.
From three to five hydrants were
opened at corners in the business and
resident districts. At all times the
flow In the heavier mains was fast and
satisfactory test resulted.
The fire pressure of 10 pounds was
kept up at all times. The opening of
these FIRE plugs in different parts of
the city under fire pressure stirred up
the sand in the mains making the
water muddy. But it is "clean" mud
and the only harm is in its quantity
not its quality.
This fire insurance test is made
every year.
Hydrants at the following corn ers
were tested today: Thirteenth and
Polk; Sixteenth and College; Tenth
and Clay; Potwin; Fifth and Western /:

MAN DRIVES WOMAN OUT.
Hand Ironing in ST. Louis No Longer
Feminine Position.

st. Louis. Mo. July 25.-Woman,
who has always reigned supreme in
the different industries of the home, is
to be supplanted by man in one branch
of which she has been proudest of her
ability.
This fact has been disclosed through
the hand laundries OF St. Louis, in
which men are taking the place of the
women in the handironing depart
ment. The change began about eight
months ago, and since that time the
laundries have been gradually hiring
men to take the place of the women

Laundrymen declare that hand IRON
ing on high grade material is much
more satisfactory than machinery.
Women are said to be unable to stand
the heavy strain of hand ironing.
Work done by men costs more, but. it

HOPES FOR ONE TREATY.
But President says Nations Are Not
Ready for 1t.

Washington, July 25.-Signatures of
all the parties to the negotiations for
general arbitration treaties appended
to one document would, it is said.
greatly please President Taft and Sec
rotary Knox. But it is realized THAI
the time is not yet ripe for such n
great stride towards a pact that would
make for universal peace and disarrna-
ment.
Were America, Great Britain,
France. Germany, Sweden and The
Netherlands to sign one convention,
such as was agreed upon at The Hague.
the effect would be to prevent them
from going to war with one another
over any such issue as spheres of in
fluence in Morocco or various boundary
lines in equatorial Africa. Apparently
they are not ready to go that far but
they are willing to enter into specis'
I'D separate treaties of arbitration
with America and it is the hope of the
administration that in the end the
beneficial workings of these special
treaties will incline all of the great
powers to enter into like relations
with one another either through the
medium of separate treaties or through
the general signature of one common
treaty.
