of the great engineering feats of re-
cent years, A. T. Robinson, of Topeka.
bridge engineer of the Santa Fe sys-
TEN. modestly said to a reporter for
the State Journal that he guessed
there is nothing unusual about 1t.
The fact that engineers journeyed
from several countries in Europe to
see the bridge in various stages of con-
structiOn shows the general interest
manifested in the structure. The
items of interest to the public" Mr.
Robinson added, probably would be
the taking down of the old structure
and the erection of the new one under
traffic. This part of the work had to
he carried on without material inter
ruption to business. We had to pro-
vide for on an average of ten through
trains daily. in addition to from SIX
TO 20 work trains. In the two years
work has been in progress on the
bridge, only three passenger trains
have been delayed from 10 to 20 min
utes. and it has been necessary to de-
tour only two trains for q few days
over another railroad
Carried Trains on False Work.
In order TO carry trains while the
bridge was under construction, MI
Robinson explained. heavy steel but
tresses were built around each pier.
These buttresses supported wood
false work that not only carried trat-
fic. but also the spans of the bridge
The false work rested on piling driven
in the bottom of the river. One span
was taken cut and new one built ana
set in place before any work was done
on the other span. that at no time
was there any great portion of the
bridge out of commission. As soon as
the new spans We're set in place, trains
were operated over them. The trains
had to run at slow speed over the
structure, but at no time did the false
work show signs of weakness.
The bridge. when completed, VIII
cost the Santa F'e about S1.5OO,OOO.
The construction work has furnished
employment for n small army of men.
At one time 400 were working on the
job. Mr.. Robinson believes that
world record was made for the small
number of accidents. Only one man
lost his life a Sibley, and he was not
working when killed. He was riding
on a car load of poles, and fell off.
The work men, generally, it seems, had
acquired the Santa Fe safety habit.

The only great trouble encountered
by workmen at Sibley was the ice jam
in the spring of 1912, but the diff

aside from the loss of considerable

flashing sun shades have failed to
make their appearance on Topeka s
petticoat lane as in the summers gone
by.
/ How do you account for it? What
have the fashions decreed? What can
be blamed?
The explanations of the pretty young
women in front of the shop windows,
the girls behind the department store
counters, the practical housewives and
the dealers in parasols differ. Many
experts in female finery declare that
there has been no decrease in the de-
mand fer the shadow makers-but the
stories told by the consumers do not
bear out their verdict.
Whatever is said does not change
the fact that along Kansas avenue
these summer afternoons the swelter-
ing sun rejecting from a brassy sky
shines without interference upon the
Panama covered heads of Topeka WO-
men, Once in awhile an umbrella or
paraSOl can be seen, to be sure. a
person sees wide scattering skirts and
tight round belts, too, but the women
who study the fashion plates choose
differently.
Fashion vs.. Old Sol.
Perhaps it has escaped your atten-
tion-but in the last few years manu-
facturers of mems suspenders in this
country have gone to the wall on aC-
tom prevalent among the sterner sex.
1t was only a few years ago that men
began to discard the exposed trousers
supporters. 1t was not very long ago
that men who wore belts found it
necessary to specify the belt strips
their trousers when buying a suit at
a clothing store. Now the shirts hang
loose and graceful 90 from the
shoulders and the trousers are held
up either by belt or by some hidden
mean.
Soon, perhaps. the makers of other
useless apparatus known to the manly
mind will throw up the sponge.
And so 1t is with women's parasols.
If other cities in the country are fol-
lowing the sun-burned complexion
hunt of TOpeka's healthy women,
something will have to be done to
bolster the sale of the fancy sun
shade.
1t is a question of the survival OF
the fittest-fashion VS.. Old Sol II
fashion DEGREES that women shall do
their afternoon shopping and strolling
without the paraSOl-and if the sun
continues to penetrate transparent
waists and flimsy hats-something
must give in. 1t is a safe bet that
the women will listen to the call from
Paris.
Is the Panama to Blame?
The wide sweeping black-ribbon-
trimmed climbing-rose Panamas being
worn by the women this summer is
believed to come in for a share of
the parasol downfall. These Pana-
mas cover every detail of the female
face except the chin and now and then
q glimpse of couple of full red lips.
Some Topeka maids have been known
to allow their pretty slightly-tipped
noses to appear from under the wavy
hats from the sunny southland oc-

THOUGHT 1T WAS PARIS
But the Style That Caught New York
err Designed in Topeka.

The Garment Workers Review of
New York has the following compli-
mentary notice of a Topeka man:
"A rather humorous incident was
caused when Mr.. Rambau of Fifth
avenue was introduced to Mrs J.
Scheinberg of Topeka, Kan. Mr.. and
Mrs. Scheinberg We're viewing the
different models of the exhibition
when Mr.. Rambeau was introduced to
Mrs. Scheinberg. Pardon me. Mrs
Scheinberg, is this not a Drecoll
model" With this remark. he pulled
out a sketch of a model from the
Atelier of Drecoll. With modest
smile, Mrs. Scheinberg replied: The
maker of this suit is at my side"
(Meaning her husband.)
When Fifth avenue tailors of New
York city go to Paris to sketch models
and find short time afterwards that
a tailor from Kansas has designed
virtually the same gown months be-
fore, it should settle the question to
some extent whether American tailors
are capable of originating designs or
whether we have to look to Paris for
ideas.

DOG MAKES HIGH
dive; BREAKS LEG

Yves Matlock has a dog that knows
the sensation of high diving but it is
probable that one experience will
suffice i, inasmuch as neither water
cushions or net had been provided
to break the force of the impact which
comes at the end of such dive. In
tentionally or by mistake, it jumped
from the room of the Oregon theater
building down to the pavement below
and it is now carrying one leg in
splints as result.
The animal, which is a fine Level
len setter, had followed his master
and Jake Welch to the roof of the
building. While on the roof it sud-
denly leaped upon the parapet which
rises several feet above the roof evi-

ECHO DEFEATS
LOCAL QUINTET

Defeated by the small margin of
six points in rough and hard fought
game, the members of the CONNER
cial basketball team returned this
morning on the motor from Echo
where they met the fast quintet of that
town last evening. The final score
was 81 to %. A return game will be
played in this city a week from next
Monday at which time the local team
believes it will turn the tables on the
victors of last night.
The game was close throughout
and in the second half at one time
was tied 20 to 20. The first half
ended with the score IS to 16 in ia
vor of Echo and in the second half
the home team contributed four more
points to its lead.
The Commercial men were consid-
erably handicapped by very slick
floor but frankly admit that the Echo
team is an extremely fast and clever
aggregation, The Echo boys, on the
other hand, have a wholesome respect
for the Pendletonians for they es-
capped defeat by the smallest margin
of all the games they have played
this year.
The Hoskins brothers were the star
point winners for the Echo bunch. C.
Hoskins at center threw four field
goals and five fouls, contributing a
total of 13 points. F. Hoskins at for
ward made ten points with field
throws, F. Markham, the other for
ward made three field baskets, and
Matthews, guard, one.
Grigsby for Pendleton made eleven
foul line. Johns contributed four
field baskets and Asbahr three.
Carl Gilbert refereed the first half
and George Hartman the second.
The following was the lineup: Echo,
F. Hoskins and F.. Markham, forwards,
C. Hoskins center, Matthews and c..
Markham, guards. Pendleton, AS
bahr and Grigsby, forwards, Johns,
center, Bowler and Graham, guards.
Team Welcomed Home.
When the vanquished team arrived
home on the motor this morning,
some Of the stay-at-homes gave it a
fitting welcome. An impromptu band
played funeral dirges, a flag at half
mast and a black stocking on a pole
as sign of grief was displayed by
members while a huge sign, bearing
the inscription: Let the third team do
it," and 1T was only a dream" met
the gaze of the returned heroes as
they stepped from the train. The
procession made its way up the street
at a solemn pace.

BUSINESS CONGESTED
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

That business before the Legislature
is fearfully congested and there is
danger the session may end with a
sad record is declared by S. ID. Peter
son, Milton lawyer and former rep
resentative who returned this morn
ing from Salem.
when the Legislature first con.
vened 1 thought the session would be
one of the best" says Mr.. Peterson.
Both houses have experienced pre-
siding officers and there was no fight
over their election. But SO much time
has been wasted trying to fight the
governor that the session is away be-
hind with its work.
THE chief clerk of the house, who
has been an official for the last Is
years, told me that the business of
the house is now more congested
than he has ever seen it before"
According to Peterson an effort is
being made by certain legislators to
have the members remain without
pay after the session is over. How
ever, he scarcely expects to see the
move succeed as the members usually
wish to get home, especially after
their pay stops.
