URGES DRAINAGE SURVEY
Is Biggest Problem in Topeka, Says
City PLanner.

Drainage is the biggest problem
which the city planners for Topeka
are facing, Harland bartholomew, in
charge of the city plan, told the city
planning board at a special meeting
of that body held Tuesday night at the
ElkS club.
Bartholomew declared that there is
no adequate map of Topeka from the
standpoint of drainage, and urged that
a complete. drainage survey of the
entire city is necessary.
The city planner characterized as
absurd the state law which charges
all expense in relieving flood condi-
lions up to the property which di
rectly benefits.
Strengthening the Shunganunga
will afford only temporary relief"
Bartholomew declared. Other small
projects could be undertaken in other
parts of the city, which would also
offer temporary relief, but eventually
Topeka will have to take her drain
age problem seriously"

led from mine TO hospital.
According to company officials
the explosion occurred simultane-
ously with the crash OF three skip
cars" which ran wild down the slope
to the mine yards, approximately
eleven hundred feet from the en-
trance. These cars, breaking cable
while they were being hauled up the
slope TO the entrance, crashed down
ward, severlng an electric circuit.
This caused a spark and as the
cars crashed into the rackage yards
in the interior of the mine, where
loaded coal cars were assembled be-
fore being hauled to the surface, the
explosion occurred.
So great was the blast that the
flames belched upward all the way
to the mine entrance, approximately
eleven hundred feet, and then con-
tinued on 200 feet further TO the
mine tipple setting this afire.
Approximately fifty men were
working in the yards at the time
and all OF these men were either
killed or injured.
At a late hour tonight the main
entrance to mine No. was cleared
and rescue workers were using this
entrance to enter the mine and con-
tinue their work.

In no other record can you get the
same wonderful degree OF surface
quietness and pure, uninterrupted
music, for the simple reason that
Columbia alone possesses the secret
of making a material which, employed
as surface for photograph records,
obiiterates obnoxious and intrusive
surface sounds.
This new substance does not hush
loud surface noises. They are never
created. Surface noise is merely fric-
ton, the point of the needle grinding
on microscopic roughness and multi
piled by the sensitive reproducer. In
New Process Columbia Records this
microscopic roughness is refined away
till friction is almost fiction.
With new and unbelievabIy quiet
playing surfaces, the dream of
making the phonograph a musical
instrument of the highest and pur-
est tyne has become a realityf
Columbia's new surface discovery
has solved the whole question:! Re-
production of music has now entered
a new and greater phasel To-day,
the phonograph with the New Pro-
cess Columbia Records is n MASTER
full triumph. You can now buy

from any Columbia Dealer.
