Her Every Day
Since Marriage
Alleging that her husband meets
and follows tisr on1 the street, threat
ening her life, Helen Jenks. 424 Van
Buren street, today filed a petition in
the district court for a divorce from H.
C. Jenks, who she says is living at 402
Quincy street.
Mrs. Jenks declares in her petition
that her husband has cursed her every
day since their marriage August 3,
1919; that he is "insanely Jealous" and
abuses her when she looks at or
speaks to other persons passing on the
street. She finally had to leave home
and seek safety with friends, she says.
The wife declared that, altho Jenks
is making $130 a month as a Hock Is
land switchman, he has refused "to
provide a home" for her and that they
have lived in furnished rooms and
boarded among strangers since their
marriage. She has been forced to
work to buy clothes and pay expenses,
she alleges.
ASSEMBLING CITY WATER DATA.
Xo Announcements on Plans to Im
prove Supply.
Piles of data are beginning to arrive
in the office of the city water depart
ment. Consulting engineers are busy
assembling data, giving professional
diagnoses of the condition of the local
water plant and making prescriptions
as to what sort of treatment should be
administered.
Altho Commissioner Wilbur Stan
field declined today to divulge even
hints as to opinions of the specialists,
he seemed confident the disclosures to
be made soon would prove interesting.
It is evidently not the policy of the de
partment to unload the information
contained in the opinions until they
may be assembled in one mighty vol
ume of prognostications.
From the manner in which engi
neers have disagreed -in the past in
diagnosing the plant, an extensive dif
ferentiation 3f ideas may be antici
pated. The obtaining of opinions oif what
is the matter and what should be done
is easy, commissions point out, com
pared with the task that will follow
of raising money. There can be no
doubt that real betterment of the
plant Is to require an immense sum of
money.

SPALDING HERE TONIGHT
Wcfld Renowned Violinist in Concert
at City Auditorium, f f
Albert Spalding. who;plays here his
evening at the city auditorium, under
the direction of H. J. Dotterweich. of
the Topeka Concert Series, was asked
recently what he thought the late war
had done for music. Mr. Spalding,
who has just resumed his concert tour
after two years' aviation service, of
fered what sounds like a sane reply.
He says:
"The war has taught all of us to be
sincere, -true and unaffected. More
than ever in the world's history have
we gotten away from the bombastic
and spectacular. This, in my opinion,
will be evident in music artists and
audiences will be more honest, simple
and straightforward. For this reason,
I feel the war's influence on music will
be broad, rather than startling.
'There's no doubt in my mind that
an artist grows a trifle stale and gels
into a sort of rut after playing four or
five seasons in succession. When I
put my violin away and climbed
aboard a transport two years aso. nat
urally I wondered what might become
of my artistic career; but I was willing
and glad to sacrifice it for the big
cause. Now that I am back. I can't
begin, to express the freshness and
eagerness I have for mus'e. It may
sound small to say so, but the war was
a wonderful vacation .from one point
of view. , 1 see things bigger, feel them
bigger and hope I play better."

Painter Explains Cloudy Appearance
of City Water Today.
The city water, department is al
most pumping mud now, was Super
intendent Fred Painter's explanation
for the unusually i murky appearance
of the water today.
"Water in the wells Is very low."
said Painter. "We are almost pump
ing mud. When the wells are as low
as they are now a great deal of mud
in solution goes into the pipes. The
water is not being pumped direct from
the river. However, all water used for
drinking purposes should be boiled."
