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.

The very nicest thing about
Spring is its spirit of newness.
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?
Snappy! and ir
resistible. The colors will become
you surely—smoke gray, tile, al
mond green, all the tans, and of
course the black and white.
Suits from 29.00 to 98.00.
Dresser from 25.00 to 135.00.
Time was
when gloves were
merely gloves, worn
hy the gentlewom
an on all occasions,
with "covering” the
only motive. ’Tis
changed, indeed.
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. Cham
oisettes with blue
and red embroi
dories, Milanaise
and twill silks, and
the softest of fin
ished kids. Why,
no two seem alike!

you, too, will de- !
light.

f
Color Count«
' in hosiery this spring. Sunburnt
shades are quite right, airedale,
, dawn, peach, apricot, rachquet,
pearl gray—they will comple
ment your costume nicely. Of
course you’ll want chiffon. The
r clocks are smart as always, whan
one goes sporting. From 4.SO

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. Ye*,
the felts are indeed
smart. Try one of
the new octagon sail
ors—it is sure to be
come you. And the
taffeta models, they
are perfect. The
shades, they can
match or set off any
costume.
