where CARS STOP
Skip-StOp System in Effect
Here Tuesday, Oct. 1.
Take On and Discharge Pas
sengers Near Side of Street.

Tuesday, the first of October, the
skip-stop system will be inaugurated
in Topeka. The order was issued Of
ficiallv Friday afternoon by c. H.
Danner., Shawnee fuel administrator,
and copies of it were sent to the street
railway company and to Mayor House.
1t has been announced by Albert
Patten. general manager in Kansas of
the Illinois Traction company, and
Howard Patten, local superintendent,
that they are ready to commence the
new schedule at any time. 1t had been
their hope to have the street signs in
forming people that Cars Stop Here"
in place before the day of Inaugural
ton of the new system. Manufacture
ing and transportation difficulties will
probably delay the installation of these
signs.
= Stop on Near Side.
On Kansas avenue. from Tenth
street to Gordon street, cars will stop
at the south corner of every intersec-
ton; coming south cars will stop at
the north corner, except on Eighth
street, where the cars will stop on the
south corner as usual. Cars going
west will stop on the east side of the
street and cars going east will stop on
the west side of the street. Wash
nurn-Huntoon cars, both east and
westbound, will stop on the west side
of the street at Twelfth and Taylor
and on unpaved streets cars will stop
as they have before.
Change in Gage Line.
After October s, the Gage park line
will stop and turn at Summit street
and spur line will be run to Gage
park, making connections with the
Country clubMelrose line at the Sum
init street switch. The Gage park
spur will probable get one-half noul
service. Patten says that besides be-
ing matter of conservation the Gage
park line cannot be operated at &
profit under the existing schedules
with cars running7the full distance.
Keep CONTEMPORARIES.
The women, hired temporarily dur
ing the fair as conductors, will be con-
4tinued, according to Patten, probably
until the war is won. They have proved
very satisfactory says Patten and are
anxious to do their share by taking
the place of men gone to war. Thu
sstreet Garments union has issued al
sorder sanctioEing the employment O.
women conductors where necessary.
