Working girls in Topeka, living away
from their homes, in rented rooms may

Few girls who are rooming in the
city have parlor privileges or even
have suitable places to live, according
to a report made recently of a survey
by Miss Lima Bresette. secretary of
the industrial welfare commission.
Miss Bresette said that many of the
girls were forced to receive their
friend in their bedrooms or to go to
public dance halls.
In order to do everything possible
to relieve the situation, the Y. w. c.
A. housing committee. recently organ
lied. with Mrs. Charles Dillon as chair
man, has found more than fifty rooms
which have been investigated and
placed on a list available at the Y. w.
c. A. All of the rooms are thoroiy
respectable and allow the girls parlor
privileges. The list is being added to

During the dance, which began at
the Elks club at O'Clock, Jiggs led
a dogs life, for Maggie had her eye
on him constantly and was armed with
her proverbial rolling pin. At length
JiggS Sneaked away, as he is wont to
do, and Joined the gang" at Dinty
Moore's place, which was represented
there, drinking beer (the near kind
and playing cards. Maggie saw him.
Flowing her way thru the crowd, she
burst into Dinty's place of business and
seized Jiggs. Chairs and tables were
upset in the mad scramble of Fathers
pals to get out of harms way, and the
spectators laughed until their sides
ached.
Prior to the dance, banquet was
served at Pelletier's tea room. where
the entire floor was reserved Tor the
occasion. In the absence of w. E.

MAY LOCATE AGENCY HERE


Topeka may become the headquar-
ters for state agency. and possible
distributing point flDr a new safety
damper for stoves. which is being
manufactured by corporation of
Kansas men. E. A. Orr, formerly with
the Peoples State bank of Garden
City, is in Topeka at the present time,
arranging for agencies for the damper.
The capital behind its manufacture is
from Garden City. it is understood, and
the factory has been established in
Pueblo, Colo, on account of the prog
unity to the steel mills there.
The damper is operated by Their
mostat, and works to the effect of
keeping any ordinary stove regulated
at an even temperature, which may be
set to any degree. 1t operates on the
same principle as the thermostatic
regulation of an incubator or fur
mace, but is adapted to be installed in
any stove pipe.
The damper will act as a safeguard
to prevent any stove or flue from be-
coming overheated, will keep the tenn
perature in any room even SO long as
there is fuel tn the stove. and has
other advantages claimed for it by the
manufacturers.
The state is TO be canvassed before
the damper is placed on sale in hard
ware stores, Orr said today, in order
to introduce the device.

WANT STRAIGHT STREET.
Bad "Jog'' in Road Near WoOdIawn
Park Obstructs Motorists View.


The parents of children who live on
or near the intersection of West and
Eleventh streets. are preparing to agi-
tate the question of having the streets
Strengthened 81 that motorists may
have a clear view of the intersection,
which is now INSTRUCTED by a Jog"
around Woodlawn Park.
The residents claim that there have
been more accidents on the corner in
question, than on any other corner in
the city. One man is quoted as say
ing that he has seen as many as three
accidents there in one day. 1t was
near this corner that two children
were run down and seriously injured
on Thanksgiving Day
No private property would have to
be condemned to straigthen the
street, it is commended, only the cutting
off of a small portion of the public
park.
The Lowman Hill school is only two
blocks from the corner in question,
and in addition to the children who
live about the corner there are many
of them who use the streeton the way
to and from school
Sentiment is SO strong among the
residents of the neighborhood that it
is probable they will present a petit
ton to the city commissioners for the
STRENGTHENING of the street.

WANT COPY OF ORDINANCE.

Topeka's method of dealing with
taxicabs is gaining renown, according
to City Attorney d. NJ. Branaman, who
has received requests from many cities
and from railroads for a copy of the
ordinance relating to operation and
control of taxicab lines in the city.
Copies of the licenses required of every
driver have also been requested by
other cities. The Union Pacific rail-
road approved of the Topeka way of
reserNin a certain parking space at
depots for the public and of requiring
licenses and bonds and introduced the
methods. into cities along the line. The
taxicab ordinance passed by the city
commission and fought by the taxicab
interests was approved by the supreme
court last spring

SEEKS TO RECOVER $4,000.
I. j. CharIesworth Brings Suit Against
ID. A. Kendall.

A suit to recover $4,000 was filed in
the district court this afternoon by 7.
J. Charlesworth against D. A. Kendall
of Pueblo, Colo.
In his petition Charlesworth set
forth that in March of this year he
purchased lot No. 1856 on Fourth street
from Kendall at a consideration OF
$4,000. The petition states that at
the time of the sale Kendall repre-
scented that the paving taxes had been
paid and that the house was in good
repair.
Upon investigation, Charlesworth
claims, he found that $35 was due on
paving taxes, three water pipes were
broken. the sewer needed repair, the
floors were decayed and that the plas-
ter was worthless.
Charlesworth asks to recover $4,000,
stating that, the house is not worth
more than this amount.
