Omaha s Human Ferrets Crawl Into 15-lnch Sewers Quite Casually Top, Steve Lawler and “Gun” Jacobson, human ferrets, who can crawl through any sewer. Middle, Stevel Lawler demonstrating how he recently crawled through a 15-inch sewer In S street, Seventeenth to Eighteenth street. Itottmn, George Olson and .lurku Brady, iniimle men of the sewer ninin tenanee and repair crow. The professions may he crowded, ac cording to a recent report by a sage observer, but this cannot be said of the business of crawling through sewers to removs obstructions or to repair leaks. Omahans who take for granted that there vast sewer system of Nearly 500 miles is functioning properly, do not know- of the- skill required in maintaining the municipal sanita tion. It Is seldom necessary to open a. street to repair or clear a sewer of 15 or more inches in diameter. Ob structions may be removed or repairs made by sending Steve lAWler or Gus Jacobson through like a ferret. Recently there was a leak in a 15 lnch sewer in S street, between Sev enteenth and Eighteenth streets. Human Ferret Enters. Instead of digging down to the leak, Steve Law-ler entered a manhole and crawled through the small pipe un til he reached the break, which he repaired by filling the crack with cement. Then he continued crawling through to the next manhole, which permitted an easy exit. Crawling through a 15-Inch sewer is not a frequent exploit, but it 13 accomplished now and then, Frank Carmody, superintendent of the sewer department, states that Lawler and Jacobson are modern Jean Valjeans. They will go through any sewer large enough to admit them. They have an occasional experience with eewer rata Now and then their flashlight discloses a horde of rats soampering ahead. These rate never attack unleee cornered. Sewer gas is a menace which must be considered by these underground workers Jacobson was overcome by this heavy gas while working in a manhole. He wae restored in about 24 hours. Roots 15 Feet Down. The growth of tree roots Into sewers Is another problem of the sewer department. Two years ago experiments were made with a spiral cutter device, but the machine waa not satisfactory. The most effective method Is to send men through with keen-fdged lnstrumenta Roots have been found In sewers 20 to 25 feet below the surface. Inspecting the larger eewers Is not difficult. The Minne Luna sewer Is 9Vi feet In diameter along Fort street and 11 feet In diameter from Twenty seventh avenus to the river. The Eurt street sewer Is from six to 12 feet In diameter. The stockyards sewer is eight feet In diameter and has such a swift flow that it keeps Itself free of obstructions. During the open season the sewer department has from 125 to 150 men, some being engaged In building storm sewers and others In making man holes and Inlets.

Comes a demand for new things, then the thrill of possession, and—“all’s well with the world” again, when you have for your very own, some expression of the season’s mood. » A Touch of Genius went into the creating of the dres.se* and suits for early Spring •— genius that they couhV be so simple, so comfortable, yet so brilliantly | smart. A defi nite touch of the tailleur i»x here, most no ticeable with the suits — in lines, in finishing and even material? Have you seen the mohairs, the flannels, the / French p o plins, - the moires?

Now — t h • two clasp, the gauntlet, the three - quarter and the more for mal lengths. Smart, they are, in their colors end their combination* to match or contrast your outfit.

The r clocks are smart as always, whan one goes sporting. From 4.SO , to 6.90 (for tha imported chif fons.) ► What Lies Beneath ' is of vast importance. Milady’s lingerie must not — •how beneath her gown, however , diaphanous, but ' should fashion be turned inside out— oh, then, these hid den a c e e s s ories, they must be per fect. The tailored i mode penetrates ( even to "her” un- 1 dies. What a pleas ant feeling to know that even under neath, one may ba a la mode. The smart glove •ilk garments The Brandeis Store is show injr, are quite consistent with this spirit of the tallleur. Vests and stcpins and bloomers of edible shades in com, penrh, apricot, orchid—end black. Oh my dear, the delicious moral reaction of black! From 2.9S to 6.00. \ How Paris Does Surprise Vs! In her newest hats she mixes fall and summer. Rut who would complain when there is fitted to ono's head a tiny clocn* of white hang* kok, whose crown and upper hrim is covered completely with black felt, with cutouts in flower • shapes to show the white beneath.
