By LOIS RoBINETTE.

The younger generation have the
foolish idea that there has always
been picture shows to go to-but not
SO. Twas only Is years ago that the
ance in Topeka. 1t was put on in a
tent called "Black-top" that was
pitched where the Elks building now
stands.
The show started about and the
two performances would be over by
such as the New York fire depart
ment making a run. Then came the
feature-some blood and thunder pro-
duction with lots of shooting and kill
ing-and finally the show ended with
an illustrated song, Where the
SilVery Colorado Wends It's Way"
For this noteworthy program that
flickered so that it was scarcely dis
tinguishable, the admission fee was a
quarter. But Topekans didn't fall
very hard for movies at first. Tt was
only the lower class that saw this
first picture. Topeka's 400" turned
up their noses at the very mention
of movies. So. after two months of
Improbable business the show trav-
eled on.
The next year a permanent movie
house was opened by the Stone
office is now located. The admission
to this was only a jitney..
In 1905 the Star theater, where the
Crystal is now located, showed three
reels of pictures and vaudeville.
Began to Gain Favor.
By this time pictures commenced
to gain favor in the eyes of the dubi-
Gus Topekans Each year saw an
other theater in Topeka, and each
year saw marked Improvement in the
pictures. They flickered less and you
got more and better reels for your
morey. At first, of course, there was
no Mary Pickford, or Charlie Chap
lin or Douglas Fairbanks in moviedom
the interest lay in the picture alone,
and not in the star. But in a few
years people commenced making
movie-acting a profession and the
pictures we have today are the result.

REDUCE LOSS AND DAMAGE
But Roads Paid Out $3s, O4S.3S5 From
January to April 80.

The freight claim division of the
American Railway association has
published a summary of freight loss
and damage payments for April show
ing freight claim expense aggregating
Se,2s1.165 for 2I2 carriers reporting.
The April total is the lowest of the
first four months in 1921, and the
amount of the claims from January l
to April 80 was $3S,043,335. Grain
Claims in April were paid at the rate
OF over S7,0OO,00O a year.
The circular states that many cars
arriving at1destinations leaking grain,
are sent back for another load with
out being repaired and that single
car is known to have lost several hun
dred dollars worth Of grain in this
way on three successive trips.
Durin April 1871 per cent of all
claims and Ills per cent of all dam
age were on carload shipments. Coal
losses were very heavy and showed a
tendency to increase. More attention
to the selection of cars by securing of
hoppers is recommended.
claims approximating 2S.3 per cent
of the total, or at the yearly rate of
S2S OOO,O 900. were classified as due to
rough handling of cars or the cause
OF damage not determined.
Some roads are using an impacto-
graph in merchandise cars. which re-
cords the exact date, time and degree
of any rough handling encountered,
thus identifying the crew at fault.

was foreman of the construction gang.
But this was an occasion of special
