PLAN A new VIADUCT
Reconstruction of Structure at First
and Branner Is Considered

Reconstruction of Structure at First
and Branner Is Considered
Reconstruction of the Oakland via
duct at First and Branner streets is
being considered by the Santa Fe rail-
way, the Topeka Street Railway COM
pany and the city of Topeka. The
plan is to rebuild the viaduct which
now forms a right angle on First and
Branner streets so that 1t will run
directly north and south. The incline
at the south-end of the viaduct would
be used by'autos which are now forced
to drive under the viaduct because of
the condition of the auto road over the
viaduct. The eastern slope of the via
duct would probably remain as it is
now to be used by street cars
The main objection to building the
incline on Branner street is the fact
that it would pass in front of several
homes near the corner of First and
Branner streets and the city would
probably be required to pay damage to
the property owners. The Branner
street incline would a so endanger the
pupils of Branner school, whose play
ground would be at the foot of the
viaduct. Cars coming off of the in
cline and those approaching it would
be travelling at a high rate of speed.

SHAWNEE WOMEN WINNERS
Magazine Conducts Contest of Interest
to Farm Women.

to Farm Women.
Manhattan, kan, Sept. ia con-
ference is to be held here tomorrow
which will be of interest to farm
women turnout the state of Kansas.
THE Farmers Wife" an agricuI-
tural magazine published in ST. Paul,
MIMI, recently staged a contest in
which the competitors submitted 500
word letters on the subject, why
Would-or Would Not-Want My
sDaughter to Marry a Farmer" Two
hundred Kansas farm women sub
mitted answers, and two of the an
swers were awarded prizes. Mrs.
Robert A. Steele. of Shawnee county,
and Mrs. Emma Harvey, of Riley
county, were the prize winners.
Miss Anna Coyle. field editor of the
magazine, is in Manhattan to confer
with w. D. Farrell. dean of the divi-
sion or agriculture, and Miss Nina B.
kre1ger, of the extension division, and
members of their stats. on the con-
dltions which the answers of the 200
Kansas farm women have revealed.
The rural sociology department of
the college may be invited to take, the
letters submitted and use them as
the basis of a survey of rural condi-
tions.
One of the attractions of farm life,
according to the letters, is the oppor-
tunity offered to farm women to have
their own Independent incomes.
Another is the higher moral standards
which the farm women believe pre-
vail in the country as compared to
the city. Kansas farm women main
tain that the 'hick' type of farmer
has gone out of existence, and that
the scientific farmer is coming in"
And the farm women maintain that
the scientific farmer is a good matri-
monial bet.
The Introduction of cultural influ-
ences and modern conveniences on the
farm have made it a pleasant place
to live and have ended it's isolation,

incline sloping west on First street.
If this plan was adopted the incline
would not interfere with the homes
near by and the children on the Bran
