TATE broke the back Of Emma
Haig, but it couldn't break
u her courage.
Ten weeks ago-they passed like
ten centuries-the little dancer was
spinning through the Music Box
Revue at the close Of the "Spring.
time Song" when her whirling legs
came too close to the footlights
and the next moment, crash
Emma went down, head first, on
the head Of an amazed and portly
musician, to whom twinkling legs
were no treat, and who was thor
oughly absorbed in the score.
As their heads came together he
saw more stars than there were
even on that star-spangled stage
and at first he was much put out.
But at that not half as much put
out as the girl who had thus un'
ceremoniously Stunned him.
Emma Haig was all in. Two
bones Of her spine cracked and the
dancing days Of that dancer SEEM
ed done. For days 1t looked like
curtains for the dancer, but she
wouldn't have it 80.
SECOND MISHAP.
That was the second mishap in a
week and Miss Haig recalled that
the fellow who said misfortunes
never come singly uttered barrel
full. What bothered the girl most,
though. was that she wouldn't be
able to come to court in answer to
that summons served on her by a
handsome motorcycle man a few
days before when she and Joseph
Santley, who dances with her, had
staged a motor handicap across the
Greensboro bridge. But Joe per-
suaded Magistrate Conway that
Emma really couldn't make tho
grade to court with a broken spine
and the court decided to call the
fine off.
Then Emma remembered that
her life ambition was to be a
Jockey!
II she couldn't hoof 1. for a

string of ponies as well as the

BY gosh, what's the use! Who
ever heard Of a jockey with q
broken back. and a girl jockey at
that. The idea was out!
A REAL AMBITION.
BY this time they had Emma UP
in the hospital. and the plasterer
was tucking his union card in an
inside pocket and brushing off his
clothes preparatory to calling 1t a
day. The sight of the medium in
which that artist worked reminded
Emma Of sculpture and she felt
like q lay figure in a studio. And
one thought led to another until
she remembered that way back
she had wanted to be an artist her
self-and then everything was
Jake.
wherefore, Emma Haig, a
woman Of parts. though some Of
the parts were broken, eased her
self up in bed and demanded an
easel. The surgeons and nurses

Wichita, Kan, July lin these
days of flappers and flapperisms, it
is a rarity to find girls of the debu-
tante age who can equal the record of
pretty Miss Ethel Means of wichita,
who is earning her way thru Fair
mount college by working as a regu-
lation farm hand on a farm near here.
Miss Means, who is 20, a junior. and
a typical college girl. addicted to
fluffy dresses, face powder and hand
mirrors when she is gong to school.
undergoes a complete metamorphosis
when she takes up her labors on the
farm. Downing khaki trousers and
an army shirt, and pulling a wide
brimmed hat down over her dark
curls, she would pass almost any
where for a handsome boy.
The Paramount girl is an expert
tractor engineer. She knows so much
about the average gasoline or steam
farm engine that she is in constant
demand among the farmers of SedE-
wick county who want blowing or
threshfng done. Turnout harvest she
drove a tractor. which pulled a string
of binders, over which her 1S-year-old
brother. Robert. had charge The
two together cut several hundred
acres of wheat. The brother will en-
ter Paramount college this fall as
freshman.
II enjoy the work" Miss Means
said recently, letting her tractor cool
while she answered questions of a
reporter 1T gets me out-of-doors
and makes me feel as if I were really
doing something TO forward the
worlds progress.
There's only one objection" she
added, laughing. And that is that
all my college career I've lust stn1pIv
been pestered to death with freckles
and they all come from driving a
tractor in the summer sun. When
finish college, I'm going to spend one
whole summer just luxuriating like
other girls, with nothing TO do but
wash my hair and wear pink silk
negligees,"

STORM DID MUCH DAMAGE
Santa Fe Reports Washout in Vi
cinity of Ce6farvale.

Santa Fe Reports Washout in Vi
cinity of Cedarvale.
The rain and wind storm Monday
night did considerable damage to the
Santa Fe, and more rain may result in
high water at several points, accord
ing to reports reaching the general
managers office, today.
1t is rumored that a bad washout
has occurred near Cedarvale but the
report cannot be verified as the wires
in that vicinity are down. Cedarvale
is the terminus of a branch line which
extends west from Havana, in south
ern Kansas. According to the rumor,
Cedarvale is cut off by high water.
The wind blew the roof from the
Santa Fe depot at Putnam, small
station south of Newton, where 1t also
blew down a semaphore pole and
turned over a box car. Three inches
of rain, accompanied by a high wind
and some hail, fell between Newton
and Mulvane.
Water was over the tracks a short
time last night between Newton and
McGraw and also near Grand Summit
east of Winfield. From four to five
inches of rain fell in that vicinity, re-
ports said, especially between Grand
Summit and Cambridge.
