manner There is much keen rivalry
and fancy diving and swimming are
the rule, not the exception.

chase in 1858. Improvements were

This had hardly begun to dry when
tiny cottonwood and willow trees be-
gan to spring up as thick as grass.
But these obstacles were gradually
overcome and now it has blossomed
out into one of the prettiest parks of
the city.
Last year a fine concrete swimming
pool was built but was not opened
for use until this summer. The dress
ing rooms are considered the finest in
any park in the city. The Fairgrounds
for children are also feature of the
park.

gar material will be furnished at gov
eminent expense. All the city has to
do it to pay the cost of erection. This
hangar will be approximately 100 feet
deep and 800 feet long and will ,be
capable of housing more than six
planes. a machine and repair shop,
and an air office.
Big Station Here.
But this is not nearly all that the
establishment here of a field would
mean, according to statements made
by Col. c. NJ. Morrow, chief of the air
division for the central department,
when he was here a few days ago.
Morrow said that there is an excep-
tionalty good chance for Topeka TO
obtain a permanent military air sta
ton here where pilots Of the reserve
corps would come each year to do
their thirty days of qualification work.
The call has already gone out over
the state for every pilot to register
with Robert Fullerton at Topeka, eth
err in person or by mail. When this
list is complete 1t will be forwarded to
the air service and Colonel Morrow
will make his recommendations to the
air department at Washington regard
ing the establishment in Topeka of a
permanent military air station.
Mean Permanent Equipment.
This would mean that at least five
planes in addition 10 the postal planes
would be permanently housed here in
government hangers. 1t would mean
that a corps of mechanics would be
stationed here to care for the planes
And the postal service itself would re-
quire five pilots, a chief pilot and ter
mechanics.
Nor would a landing field estab-
lished here for postal or military uses
be restricted solely to these purposes
The field would be available for pri-
vately owned planes. and the owners OF
such machines would be given an op-
portunity to build their own hangers
at the edge of the field at points des-
ignated by the commander of the
field.

Water at Y. w. c. A. Pool Rises
Like Raging Flood.
Then in a Minute 1t Settles to
the Tile Floor.
HOW DOES IT DO THIS?
Well, That's a Rather Sensitive
Question, Bill.
Reducing Parties Among the
Ladies Are the Cause.

Splash!
The popular fad among Topeka
women to reduce during this trying
era of soaring temperatures has rem
dered the Y. w. c. A swimming pool
more fluctuating proposition than
the New York stock market. The
problem is one to drive the cieverest
mathematician to distraction. At one
moment it is said the water in the
pool is six feet deep; the next moment
it barely comes to the knees of the
fair bathers. And 1t is only by care
full observation that one may attempt
to explain this strange phenomenon of
nature.
For example: A deep calm pervades
the pool and the surface of the water
is like huge sheet of glass. But see
more than 16b pounds of feminine
humanity poses for . dive.
Diving Board Groans.
The sturdy diving board creaks and
groans, and wheezes beneath the aw-
full load. Then comes a splash-such
a splash as would cause the biggest
torpedo ever fired in the Atlantic
ocean to sink shamefully to the bot
tom without exploding. In that por-
ticular spot the water disappears as 1t
did when Moses waved his wand in
the good old days of yore. But all
that goes up, comes down, and in an
OIner second Inc water rises over the
place like the waterspouts that caused
Columbus so much worry on his first
voyage of discovery and the huge
waves break with a thunderous sound
against the shining tile, like waves
upon "a stern and rockbeund coast"
The other day young woman was
standing in the pool with the water
about up TO her knees. Another vision
of loveliness-in fact, she was some
what more substantial than a vision
executed an energetic dive. The water
around the first woman suddenly in
creased from knee deep to neck deep,
then receded and left her standing on
the bare marble.
Keep in Deeper Part.
But such is life for those who muct
reduce. They must not mind such lit
| tie things as these. The water is
there, all right. all right, and II might
eliminate a little surplus flesh to
keep in the deeper parts, altho that
sometimes requires no little speed and
agility.
The only warning that one might
wish TO extend to these ladies is for
two or more OF them not to dive
quick succession. One might intend
to dive into deep water, but hardly
leave the diving board until the bot
tom would be shining high and dry.
These are problems that must be fig
ured out scientifically and only until
then can swimming in such q place
be accomplished with pleasure and
safety.

A new type of windmill that prom

latest word in the utilization of air
power; will operate farm machinery.
generate electricity and perform other
work for which man has depended
upon the gasoline motor for years.
The first OF these windmills to be in
stalled is on the site of the George
Burghart cigar factory in Highland
Park.
While the new air-power machine
is not in use at the present time, Burg
hart says it will be connected up in a
few days and that he will use it in
cigar manufacturing
Utilize All Air.
The windmill is about thirty feet
high and consists of a heavily trussed
upright shaft supporting four vertical
sails which turn in such a manner as
to catch every breath of air stirring.
The upright is supported by guys in
such a manner as to leave it free TO
turn on a pivot. The bottom of the
shaft fits into a beveled cog which
operates a horizontal shaft and there
are levers to throw it in and out OF
gear.
The sails are six feet in diameter
and require only the slightest breeze
to move them. The outward fling of
these sails operate much as the fly
wheel on a gasoline motor in increas-
ing and multiplying power.
VIII Manufacture 1t Here.
Currey. the inventor, is an employe
of the United Machine and Die Works
706 Jackson street. The local factory
will manufacture the new windmill. II
is said, and II the new invention lives
up to its present prospects OF practical
bility. the future in store for the in
dustry is unlimited.

A new water pumper has been IN
stalled on the hose truck at No. ! fire
station in North Topeka. The pump
is located under the drivers seat and
takes the place of the chemical tank
which has been moved to position
above the hose rack and back of the
driver. This truck is now called
triple combination apparatus by the
firemen.
The pump is operated by the motor
that pulls the car. When the hose
truck is stopped at a fire and the
gear, there is another gear slipped
back of the seat that throws the pump
into operation. 1t has two speeds.
Firemen say this type OF pumper Is
much more efficient than the steamer
apparatus which is large, nnwieldy,
hard to operate and does not produce
nearly so much power as the other
style of pumper.
Pumps $50 Gallons n Minute.
The new truck is now equipped the

of handling about T50 gallons per min

to the pumper. The pumper At No. .
station has four ta.5 for attaching
hose lines and will handle about 1000
gallons.
The equipment comes from the
Anerican-La France company which
built most. of the fire equipment
owned here.
The bumpers have been used at fires
continuously for a number of hours
without causing the engines to become
overheated, They are considered very

men and are at times an abso, tie ne

The establishment in Topeka of a
