OLD RULE IS CHANGED.
Hereafter the MotOrman Will Flag
Streets Cars at Crossings.

For many years the conductors on
the Topeka street cars have been hop
ping off at railroad crossings, rum
ming ahead and tagging the car
across the tracks. The back end of
the car was left without supervision
while the conductor reversed the or
der of things and protected the front
end.
This morning a ruling went into ef-
feet making it the duty of the motor
man to flag the crossings. The car
stands by the railroad track while the
motorman runs ahead and ascertains
if the coast is clear. The rod which
separates the motorman's stall from
the exit has been removed. And the
conductor stands on the back platform
with a complacent grin while his fell
low worker goes ahead to see if all
is we'll.
The ruling is in line with the safety
first movement. Heretofore the back
platform of the car was left unpro-
tected and the crew had to guess
whether anyone was about to get off.
There was great possibility for acct
dents because the signal to go ahead
came from in front instead of the
back end of the car. Under the new
system both members of the crew are
a their places when the car starts.

They Take Precedence Over
Churches and Pool Halls.
Social Survey Gives Compare
tive Figures on Belleville.
ONE LONE PICTURE HOUSE
Surpasses in Total Attendance
the Six Churches.
The Four Pool Halls Rank
Third in Popularity.

If Belleville, Republic county, is an
close fight among the pool halls the
churches and the movies. In the pub
lished report Of the Belleville social
survey which has just come from the
press, Kansas is given her first light
on conditions as they actually exist in
a small town.
The Belleville survey gives some
strange facts and figures regarding
conditions in a small town and the
habits of the people who make that
town their home. Belleville is good
average town. It is far better than
some and yet cannot be listed as a
model. That fact, perhaps, was the
reason for selecting Belleville as the
Now that the report has been made
public. it will afford Kansas some in
teresting facts.
Belleville has n population of 1900.
1t has churches with seating capac-
ity of 1896. But the records show
that the churches are not always
filled. While the town has a church
membership of 969-a high, percent
age-the Sunday morning church at
tendance averages SGT, while the pray
er meeting attendance is 102.
In the course of a year, the report
shows, $500 people attend religious
services in some form. That is the
aggregate attendance at the six
churches from among the 969 affil-
lated members and the men and
women who are not active church
workers. The town has nine church
organizations, with six church build
ings. In five of the churches regular
services are conducted.
Yet Be1leville's church attendance
is Swallowed in the record of the
towns lone moving picture show
Bellevilles churches seat 1896 people.
The lone moving picture show seats
278 people. Yet in the year, the NOV
ing picture theater handled cash
crowd of 1885, 900, as against the COM
bined free church attendance of 93,-
500.
Four pool and billiard halls located
in Belleville offer as combined amuse-
ment facilities nineteen tables. Dur
ing the year, the Belleville billiard
halls received a combined patronage
of 10000 people as against $4,000 for
the churches and 10000 for the
single handed motion picture show.
The survey report was prepared by
the Kansas University department of
sociology and covers the life of the
town from almost every angle. A
second report, covering conditions in
Lawrence, is now being published.

Gap Between Sterling and La

To Be Filled in a Short Time
the Latest Santa Fe RumOr.
is NOT AFFIRMED OR DENIED
Bonds Asked for in TOpeka
Have a Great Significance.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

Significance is attached to the an
nouncement that the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe has asked authority from
the Kansas commission to issue S1O,-
S0S.000 bonds and that the proceeds
are to be used in making extensions
and improvements to its system in
western Texas. 1t is supposed that
in Que time the Texas commission will
be made officially acquainted with the
specific work to be accomplished by
the proposed bond issue. 1t is consider
ed probabI that the plans provide for
filling in the 125-mile gap that exists
between the Sterling City and Lamesa
branches.
The importance of making connec-
ton between these two lines is ap-
parent. The route of the proposed
road is via Big Springs, on the Texas
& Pacific. The construction of new
extension will give the Santa Fe
new route through q portion OF west
ern Texas that is undergoing rapid
agricultural development. 1t is said
that the branch line of the Santa Fe,
which runs from Slaton to Lamesa,
passing through Tahoka and O'Don-
nell. is the most profitable piece of
read, for it's mileage, belonging to the
Santa Fee in Texas.
Another new plan that the Santa
Fe is said to be preparing to build Is
projected to run from Lubbock or Sla-
ton to Roswell, n. NJ. During the last
few years the Santa Fe has been very
active in occupying the virgin territory
of western Texas. 1t has already grid
ironed large area of the richest
lands in that part of the state, with
well built roads, to the exclusion of
the other large railroad systems.
The rumor of the proposed extern
sions has been circulating in railway
circles in Topeka for quite awhile.
When asked about the matter today,
an operating official said: 1--WE do
not know anything about the matter
as it is under the Jurisdiction of F. c.
Fox, general manager of the western
lines at Amarillo"
1t would not surprise the Topeka
officials, however, to learn within
few weeks that the extensions will be

Spider Ties Up Train.

The following story is going the
rounds: A freight train on the Katy
whistled for the crossing signal at
Erie a few days ago. The man who
handles the signal reached for the
lever that controlled it. The train
continued to whistle for the signal. The
signal man was puzzled. He had gone
through the usual operations, but the
devise failed to work. A fifteen-min-
ute delay occurred wnen he discovered
that something had broken into part
of the electrical machinery ard had
broken the circuit. A search disclosed
spider on one of the terminal points.
The spider was removed and the
freight received the signal at last. The
spider was thoroughly electrocuted.
