WALKING is A FAD
TOpekans Desert Motors for
the Sidewalks.
Brisk Fall Atmosphere Invites
the Pedestrian.
STREET CARS ARE EMPTY
Even Society Women Are Pad
ding in Hobbies.
What Is So Rare as a Day in
September.

This is the day of the pedestrian. All
the worlds a country road. The call of
the autumn woods sounds over the city
streets. Chauffeurs quit their ma
chimes, drivers desert their Steeds, bust
ness men abandon the street cars.
Conductors wear brow as melancholy
as Hamlet's and seldom ring in a nick
ell. Cars speed over the tracks with two
passengers when last month there were
twenty. Last Sunday the streets were
deserted, the sidewalks crowded. Par
ties tramped into the country to steal
apples and gather yellow daisies. Cool
weather and energy and desire to
tramp come at the same time.
Those who aren't lured by the paths
in the fields stroll the city streets. Ev-
erybody walked last Sunday. Possibly
they'll have a chance tomorrow. Peo-
pie walked to church and walked home.
Topeka hasn't Fifth avenue, an Es-
planade, a Beacon street, nor a prone
made. But it sailed forth in it's new fall
regalia and paraded where it willed.
Father donned his new high-crowned
hat, caught the hand of little Willie in
his new red cap-and walked. Mother
tied Little Sisters new hair ribbons.
slipped into her new slit gown-and
walked. Even the tightness of the new
''peg-top" skirts didn't deter Topeka
maids from a stroll. Everybody exer-
cised.
The most solitary man in town was
the driver of the Gage park stage Lots
of people visited the park, but they all
walked. The driver made innumerable
trips. looked hopefully about him-and
rode alone.
Lets take a walk" said everybody.
The man who thought he was ill found
he wasn't. The girl who was going to
read ''V. VS. Eyes" or ''Laddie," or
THE Inside of the Cup closed the
book and went outdoors. The young
ster who was going to play dolls in the
house danced into the yard. All To-
peka quoth, What is so rare as a day
in September" and tripped outside to
enjoy it.
Make the most of September and Oc-
tober, then. for November is coming
the melancholy days when the lure of
the autumn woods is lost in the charm
of a new book by an open fire.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 20.-The soak
ought not to make farmers forget about
pond week next November. In time
of rains prepare for drouth, ought to
be the motto, or slogan, or something
of every Kansas farmer this fall, say
the engineers at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college. The engineers aren t
forgetting pond week. General spec
ihcations and blue prints the con-
struction of farm ponds have been sent
out from the agricultural college this
week to scores of Kansas farmers who
had written to the state engineer for
advice.

be considered only suggestive" said III.
b. Walker, drainage and irrigation en-
gineer who prepared the specifications
and blue prints. 1T is impossible to
give specific information to every
farmer, because we do not know the
conditions under which each pond must
be built But we believe that if the
general directions given are followed,
and if the advice of the county surveyor
is sought, farmers ought to be able to
construct satisfactory storage ponds
without further help. The law pro-
vides that county surveyors shall fur
nish plans and specifications for this
work at county expense
If farmers find they are confronted
by particularly difficult engineering
problems, the agricultural college will
send an engineer to straighten out the

This is the second year of the Park
hurst series. The success of the series
last year was quite marked, consider
ing that the enterprise was new IN
Topeka, though it lost some money to
the mana gers. However, it made it
possible for Topeka people to hear, IN
their own town, many of the best ar
fists on the concert stage. and the list
for the present season OF those who
are to appear before the music lovers
of the city, is an alluring one. The
chart will be at Guilds three days, be
ginning September %. The sale of
seats has been unusually successful.
and Topeka people have proven that
they care enough for good music to
support a movement that brings it to
them from season to season.
The list of concerts and their dates
in the series are as follows: October
16, Tini-Corsi company; October 80,
Pasquale Amato; November 10, Fritz

solid earth and the axis of the embank-
ment placed at right angles to the gen
eraI direction of the natural flow or the
water. Specific dimensions must be
left to the Judgment of the engineer
In general, small earthen dams Shoulu
have a top width of at least six feet,
and when the crown is to be used as a
roadway the top width should be at
least twelve feet. The angle of the
side slopes of the embankment Will
vary according to the imperviousness
of the materials used in construction
The outer side slope should be at least
two horizontal and one foot vertl-
cal. while the inner side slope should be
al least two and one-half feet hori-
zontal and one foot vertical. The crown
of the dam should extend at least two
and one-half feet above the extreme
high-water line.
The essentials which should govern
the selection of material to be used in
earthen embankments are weight and
nervousness. In making this Selec-
ton the size and the form of the soil
grains. the weight of unit mass,
amount of pore space ana ingredients
subject to decay or change of form
must be carefully studied. Only good,
clean earth should be considered.
All earthen dams must be provided
with an adequate waste way or spill
way to discharge. without damage to
the structure, all the water which
arises above the flow line. All spill
ways should be constructed in the nat
uraI material and located at one end
of the emba nkment. In computing the
required area the extent of the water
shed must be determined and extreme
conditions of run-off considered For
normal drainage areas an effective
spiIlway area of seventeen square feet
for each eighty acres of land should be
sufficient. All spillways subject to ex-
cessive erosion should be protected by
proper Innings of timber stone or con- !
crete.

says:
As trade broadens. optimism spreads

in broadening demand. Coupled with
this are q number of other activities

marketing of crops at good prices:
