Smoldering straw packed in a load of
tile on a vacant lot at Fifteenth and
California streets brought the fire de
partment to the scene shortly after noon.
Sparks from a passing switch engine is
believed to have started it. Two car
loads of building tile in which the blase
started were piled there by the National
Supply company, which has a contract
on the new Woodmen of the World build
ing. There was no damage to the tile.
Sanborn Advocates
Farm for Prisoners
Prisoners In the state, penitoutiary
should not be made to commute with the
manufacturers of the state, according'
to the belief of former Senator John H.
Mo re head, voiced at the weekly meeting
of the Omaha Manufacturers' association.
Mr. Morehead believes that prisoners
should be classified according to the
length of their sentences and those with
the shorter terms to serve be made to
Improve the public roads.
Mr. Morehead touched on the proposed
workingmen's compensation and employ
ers' liability bill, saying that he knew
no other way of adjusting differences
between employes and employers than by
the establishment of a commission to in
vestigate all cases.
Following Mr. Morehead's speech. Pres
ident F. E. Sanborn of the Manufactur
ers' association, said he believed the
state should have a farm of 2.00i acres,
which would be conducted by prison labor
and which would supply alt the public
Institutions of the state.
Manawa Will Have
Plenty of Water
Indication are that there will be
plenty of water in Lake Manawa this
summer and perhaps some to spare. For
weeks Mosquito creek discharged all of
Its waters Into the lake. Thls brought the
stage of water up to the normal. Then
the channel of the creek was diverted
and the waters turned out of the lake.
About this time the snows melted and
the lake was tilled bank full. That was
enough water, but It keeps coming right
along.
Within the last few days the Missouri
river ha been backing up the creek that
furnishes an outlet to the lake, until the
water In this stream has almost reached
the level of the lake. South of Council
Bluffs the Missouri Is beginning to slop
over the lowlands a little and the water
Is gradually creeping toward the lake. No
fear are expressed of any damage being
done, but It is certain that Manawa will
have plenty of water for baililng and
boating.
FRAIL BRIDGE STANDS AND
EXPENSIVE STRUCTURE FALLS
Engineers are puzxled by some of the
freaks of a flood. And the manner In
which the recent flood treated two
bridges over the Platte la the biggest
puszle of them all.
Last summer the automoblllata of
Omaha and Lincoln clubbed together,
raised $7,000. and built a frail structure
over the Platte near Ashland, a ' mile
above the bridge of the Burlington, con
structed at a cost of 1100,000, and supposed
to be a model of engineering skill and
strength.
The automobile bridge, being farthest
upstream, took the brunt of the flood
and the heaviest flow of Ice, yet It was
not damaged to the extent uf a dollar.
When the flood reached the Burlington
bridge one of the central piers was un
dermined and two spans of the structure
crumpled, steel girders a foot thick be
ing warped and bent out of shape.
OLD HAT SEES LOTS OF
TRAVEL ON LONG JOURNEY
The hat without a head In It. the ona
that has been traveling all over the conn-
try for the last tlx months, arrived in
Omaha yesterday morning, remaining a
few minutes and started out for Chicago.
Some six months ago. from some un
known point in the eaat, an express mes
senger who had nothing else to do, picked
a battered derby hat from the gutter,
put a shipping tag on It and sent It tn
Chicago, with the request that It bt
passed on. It was passed and when It
arrived here over the Rock Island, al
though badly dilapidated, to It was at
tached more than 100 tags. An agent at
the Union station, figuring out the dis
tance, estimates that sine the old hat
started on Its journey it has traveled
better than 20,000 miles.
BOYS HIKE TO MISSOURI
VALLEY AND RIDE BACK
Eight high school lads, all members of
the No Sigma Theta club of tha First
Presbyterian church, hiked to Missouri
Valley Wednesday, returning early In the
evening by train. The youthful pedes

Meet Me at the "Y"
is the Newest Idea
for Young Women
Ko mow meeting on the corner for
Young Women's Christian association
maiden!. The "mwt-me-on-1 he-corner"
habit Is dldHipeartiiK mid the young
women wire meeting their men friends
In the association instead.
Tha association Iliads want the girls
to have their em-orts to meet them in
the association building and contend thut
one of the purposes for which the build
ing was eHtabllnhed was to n;ke street
corner meeting unnecessary. The recep
tion room at the south end I ewneclftlly
for those who wlh ti meet friends, and
the building Is kept open until 9 o'clock
In order that the young women may en
tertain their friends there.
It Is much better for the girls to meet
their men friends In the building than on
the corners." nays Miss Lily Strop, gen
eral secretary. "And they tire coming
more and more to do so."
The association is making plans for an
outdoor recreation center near the down
town district at which bunincjis women
who work through in down-town offices
and factories during the hot weather may
enjoy a few hours outdoor life In the
evenings.
It is planned to have two tennis courts
and a canvassed covering under which the
young women may have supper. The sup
per will be put up sf the association
building on Ht. Mary's avenue, according
to order either for groups of girls or In
dividuals.
Mies Strong says that associations In
other cities make a special feature of
the recreation centers and that one Is
needed In Omaha, particularly since there
Is so little chance for outings for busi
ness women.

The membership committee of the Com
mercial club will confer with the execu
tive committee next Tuesday to make
plan for a big reception for the new
members brought In during the recent
campaign. No definite Idea has beeu
voiced, but it Is probable that a big din
ner will be given by the club, perhaps
in the Auditorium.
The membership committee lias decided
not to disband, but each mm. with a
clean slate, will start out "even with
the board" to gather members until No
vember 3l.
The members brought in during that
time will pay the to Initiation fee. which
will Include the first quarter' dues.
This makes the price In reality only

Besides the reception to be accorded
the new members as a body, arrange
ments have been made to recelv each
new member as he innkes his appearance
at the club rooms. John Steel, with a
corps of assistants, form the reception
coimnlttee In order to make sure that
no new member will be overlooked.

traveling men into the fold. A com
mittee composed of W. 15. I.umry. H. R.
(iould and F. 1). Parmer will work out a
scheme whereby these men w ho are not
often In the city may enjoy the benefits
of the club. They probably will be ac
cepted under the same provisions as

for the railroads, and while tha estimates

la believed that th damage will be
about 11.000,000, to aay nothing of th
loss of business, tha extra expense of
