WATER REVENUES GO UP
Mere MoI.cy To City Department Fol
loving Abolition of Fiat Rate.

Thru the abolition of flat water
rates, the city water department will
collect twice as much money this
month as in Dec Der, last year. ac-
cording to Commissioner w. y. Stan
field.
Putting of every water user in To-
peka on a meter has increased the
revenue from some large establish
ments fully three times the flat rate
they formerly paid. The water de-
partment has collected $4,000 already
this month and by January 1 the
amount is expected to be swelled to
$4,000. In the past collections dur
ing December. one of the poorest reve-
nue. months in the year, have not eX-
ceeded $1,000.
Under the new system, the National
hotel pays about $3.50 monthly, in
stead of its old flat rate of $50. The
Rock Island, which uses 100000 gal
Ions of city water a month, pays the
same scale as the poorest family. The
state hospital has become a water Gus
toner of the city during 1919. Com
missioner Stanfield\ says private fam
lilies are paying their bills more
promptly.
In furnishing Highland Park with
water for fire emergency, the city is
losing money, according to Stanfield
Topeka must bear the expense of
keeping pressure up in the mains
southeast of town, whether or not the
suburb uses water, and Highland Park
gets out of having to reimburse To-
peka for all the water that flows into
the mains. Supt. Fred Painter urges
a smaller and more active recorder
on a two-inch cutoff. It has also been
suggested that Highland Park pay
Topeka a flat rate for fire protection
and emergency relief Stanhe1d Is
negotiating with a committee of the
suburbs citizens for q more suitable
arrangements
Highland Park maintains water
plant of its own sufficient for ordi-
nary needs, but to meet emergencies
it obtained a connection with the To-
peka system

Milady's Shckc!s Go To Waist.
When a girl is on her mettle

To set mans brain awhirl.


New York, Dec. 20.-There are not

| but both silver and gold. not to men

| midst the warp and woof of all the
smartest fabrics for day wear or eve
ming wear or any old wear at all.
Positively We get more metallic ev-
cry day and il we aren't careful well

instead of by the yard. Judging from
some Of the evening toilettes it won 1
! take many carats at that
( The perfectly gorgeous metallic bro

"A great wave of favor for evening
gowns -draped to the figure and for

of the moment prove excellent screens
to conceal any necessary local treat

The rich metallic emhroidcries and
brocGdes are really the most wonder
fully expressive fabrics for the eve
ming costumes Of this most expensive
and cNtravasant era but they simply
won't stay in their proper sphere.
They insist on wing in on frocks

Cold motifs enhancing the charms

Aside from the metallic threads in
the fabrics and the applied metallic
cmbroideries, metal in its natural state
has us in its golden grip in the form

wires and links and interviewer scrolls
The more barbaric and bizarre the
design and effect the more these Cir
dies are to be desired and they are
striking the newest gold and silver

The belts that have had our coats
and wraps in their encirciing clasp for
10 these divers seasons past have at
last been cast adrift. The manteauN
of the mode hang free and unre-
strained from shoulder to hem save
for the graceful intake of a drape or
two. No belts are allowed to mar
their graceful symmetry and the little
string belt that has been dear to the
heart of the Partisan and all her copy
ing sisters as necessary coat acces-
sorv is no moro.
The belt in its more glorious and
opulent form. however. is working
overtime circling the rich robes of vel
vet and brocade and the simpler serge
and duvetyn with equal dazzling and
metallic charm.
With the H c. of L. ever on the
climb. tho, it certainly does strike one
as a bit appalling the way all this gold
