LEGISLATIVE NOTES
The hou; in hollin(r nipM session
Iwice a werk in or!T to lisose of
tills that nre up for third trading .
Eleven Nebraska institutions en
jrffd in child work have pr-titlonrvl
bills that ould interfere with their
work.
The siftintr committee pave out the
apportionment hill first. Others will
follow in the order of their supposed
importance.
The senate finally passed the hill
providing for a standard loaf of bread
but considerable oratory was neces
sary in order to do it.
The senate approved n motion that
wnnte employes must be on the job
by 8:1.) in the morning instead of
toming when they please.
Among hills passed by the senate
are one increasing the enalty for
bank hold-up, and one providing nine
judges for the Omaha district.
The senate had the stage all set for
a fight over the movie hill but changed
its mind nt the last minute. A large
audience was disappointed.
Charges were made that the chairman
cf this committee was trying to smoth
er the bill because he wanted to get
favorable action on his own bill on the
same subject. The action of the house
is taken as a prediction of what is
likely to happen in the way of action
on crn.-orship.
As predicted, the state hail insur
ance bill ftill lacks a whole lot of being
out of the woods and predictions are
made that it will not pass unless the
$100,000 revolving fund section is tak
en out. Friends of the bill say it will
still be better than the present law,
even if this section is stricken out. One
reason it will be better is because it re
quires the payment of premiums in
advance. Under the present law
premiums do not have to be paid "n
until the hail season is over and it is
said many do not pay.
R. H. Howell won a victory when the
houe bill requiring the municipal ice
makers to buy out private competitors
was indefinitely postponed.
The house added $100,000 to the ap
propriation for state aid bridges. Th
appropriation bill was approved by th
house without much difficulty.
The senate approved the bill Uiat
reduces the amount of butter fat that
is included in ice cream. This may
have the effect of reducing the price
of ice cream.
By a close margin the houe decided
to put judges, school superintendents
and others back on the partisan ballot,
thus doing away with the nonpartisan
ballot.
The Yeiser hill making it a crime to
allow food products to spoil in order
to keep up prices received favorable
consideration in the house and will
probably pass.
The finance committee overlooked
the Kearney tuberculosis hospital
when making up the appropriation bill
but an item of $120,000 was added for
this institution.
Senate file 2K2 gives the pardon
loard the right to do as it pleases
about hearing applications for par
dons and paroles. The bill also pro
vides rules under which the board will
work.
Up to the present time Utah legis
lators have enjoyed four fist fights,
Nehiaska legislators have some lively
pcraps but all of them have been set
tied so far without resorting to Jack
Dempsey methods.
Members of the house judiciary
committee petitioned Governor Mc
Kelvie to introduce a bill to continue
the supreme court commission for two
years. The senate has twice killed a
bill to continne the commission.
The language bill, passed by the
senate, has reached the house and it is
expected to pass without serious oppo
Kition, although an active lobby ts
working against it. It will have to lie
reported out by the sifting committee,
The house has passed bills for the
American legion, the farmers, the
bankers, the attorneys, the cities of
Omaha and Lincoln and for most
everybody else but, so far, little or no
attention has been paid to bills wanted
by newspapers. Tart of the newspaper
bills have leen killed and all the oth
ers will go to the sifting committee so
their future is shrouded in considera
ble doubt.
advocates of the primary see in this
bill a correction of some of the weak
points in the primary law. If this bill
passe candidates must make three
campaigns, one for the convention, one
for the primary and one for election.
The judiciary committee reported
out three newspaper bills with a
recommendation that they be placed on
general tile and passed. Nome changes
ni'ic iiitnitj in iiiv.ui ijj wtc ci lit mi i n
but, on the whole they are an improve
ment over present laws. Three press
association bills were killed in commit
tee, one was killed in committee of the
whole and four have been favorably
reported by committee. Two other
bills favorable to newspapers are also
on general file. Several bills detri
mental to newspapers have been killed.
Two others that are detrimental to the
interests of newspapers are on general
file and are receiving attention.
The house added $G,000 to the ap
propriation for the banking depart
ment. This was done so additional ex
aminers can be employed. This de
partment now has an enormous
amount of work to do and more ex
aminers are needed.
Here's a Chaifce
For a Vet to Get
A Regular Wife
A man who "swears when necessary,
stays out late at night, and who isn't
afraid to chew tobneco," is the Lotha
rio and future companion of conjugal
bliss desired by a young woman of
Lincoln, who has outlined her matri
monial specifications in a letter to the
Mid-West Veteran, official organ of
the American Legion of Nebraska. The
writer, who signs herself "SHJly," has
appealed to the newspaper to find a
life mate among members of the
American Legion.
Other characteristics which the pro
spective "eave man'' must possess to
win Sally are: "It is my greatest am
bition to marry a man who is a real
fellow. I want a bird that is not afraid
to stand on his own feet and tell the
world where to head in. Prefer a man
with such a great, deep voice that
Republicans tremble when he speaks.
Is there an ex-service man who can
qualify ?"
Most members of the Legion in Ne
braska can qualify, according to the
editor of the Legion publication.

The house approved the soldier bo
nus bill but it cannot go into effect
until voted on by the people. It pro
vides lor a tax levy of one million dol
lars a year for ten years. Some feel
ing was stirred up over the bill and
the American Legion men refused to
vote either way.
The senate uNo approved the bill
requiring general registration of vot
ers. This bill requires assessors to
register all voters while making their
rounds. No further registration is
needed unless one removes from one
precinct to another. Voters who wish
to change their politics before voting
in a primary must notify the countv
clerk thirty days in advance. The ob
ject or the bill is to keep voters from
switching from one party to the other
in primary elections.
The senate advanced the marriage
bill but cut out some of its most dras
tic features. The section requiring
medical examination was taken out for
the reason that only a few physicians
in the state are able to make the prop
er tests. Ten days' notice are required
before a license may issue but if the
parties are over 21 the judge may
waive this requirement. The old mar
riage law now on the books is unchanged.
The senate passed a bill prov'd:ng
for an appropriation of $r?00,000 for a
new state reformatory without waiting
for the house to act.
Following are the names of the
house sifting committee:
Chairman Speaker Anderson.
First district Good of Nemaha and
Downing of Johnson.
Second Kobertson of Douglas, Fra
zeur of Sarpy.
Third Mears of Wayne, Lynn of
Knox.
Fourth Murphy of Saline, Ander
son of Hamilton.
Fifth Hyrum of Franklin, Good
rich of Nuckolls.
Sixth Harbour of Scotts Bluff and
Gould of Kearney.
It is said four or five potential can
didates for governor are functioning in
the legislature. It will be a labor of
love for the newspapers to start fires
under some of them when their boom
lets are launched.
Some of the legislators say they are
getting mighty tired of being called
upon to settle private scraps that
originate in Omaha. Some of them say
if they had it to do over again they
would vote to pass every Omaha bill
that comes up, regardless of what it
might do.
The American Legion soldier's relief
bill passed the house by a big major
ity. This bill provides an appropria
tion of two million dollars which is to
be invested in government bonds and
the interest will be used for needy
former soldiers.
The big fight over mov;e censorship
was started in th house Friday but it
was necessary to adjourn before it was
settled. It was understood that it
would again be taken up Tuesday af
ternoon. This letter has to go out too
soon to give the result. A start was
made by advancing the senate hill fav
oring national censorship. McFarland
then moved that his bill be killed. This
leaves the contest between the GifTord
Byrum bill and the child welfare bill.
A referendum submitted to Nebras
ka publishers shows that 93 per cent
of chose who voted are not in favor of
changing the present cigaret law. This
is not to be taken as meaning that the
editors favor the use of cigarets. They
are opposed to putting a law on the
statute books that does not have pub
lic sentiment behind it and that is sure
to be a dead letter. Whenever public
seniment demands an anti-cigaret law
the newspaper men wil support it, re
gardless of its elfect upon their revenues.

AT THE MOVIES
Tonight's feature at the Imperial is
"The Little Adventurer," with Shirley
Mason in the leading role.
The Douglas bill which provides for
the selection of primary candidates by
a convention is attracting considerable
attention. The bill provides for the
selection of three candidates by con
vention, thus giv'ng a chance for dif
ferent factions to be represented.
These names will then be placed on
the primary ballot. Opponents of the
bill say a referendum will surely be in
voked. On the other hand, some ardent
Saturday's attraction is "The Sap
head," in which Buster Kenton, the
comedy star, .steps out in regular pic
tures for the first time. He takes the
part of a simple soul with an un
limited simply of money earned hy his
father. He imagines that his sweet
heart likes the desperate -type, and
proceeds to become a wicked man, al
though the life bores him. After
being caught in a gambling raid, his
father turns him loose with a check
for a million dollars. He buys a eat
in the stock exchange, a lamb ready
to be sheared, and meets with totally
different fortunes than he had expected.
"The Poor Simp," with Owen Moore
in the lead, will be shown Sunday.
It's a rapid-fire farce without any of
the slapsick elements, one of the best
pictures this star has ever made.
The Mondav bill is "Rich Girl, Poor
Girl." Nora McShane lived in a tene
ment in Fish Alley. Beatrice Vander
fleet lived in a mansion or. the Park.
One was a daring little alley-cat the
other a silky-smooth pet angora. One
loved her "Muggsy" the other, her
Reginald yet they were pals. There!
we've got 'em started and it wouldn't
be fair to tell any more but Wow!
What a finish! When Beatrice has
been kidnapped and the loyal little
alley-cat anil her tough-guy tom-cat
friends come to her pal's rescue, claws
out and spitting fire!

Representative Epperson fought to
the last ditch in his etrort to defeat the
highway bills but he was systematic
ally and enthusiastically defeated at
every turn. He admitted that his ob
ject was to do away with federal aid
in road build;ng and put the entire
jurisdiction within the counties.
A special effort was made by the
house last week to dispose of as many
bills as possible in order to keep them
from falling into the grip of the sift
ing committee. This committee took
charge of the general file Monday anil
from now on only such bills will be
acted on as this committee passes out.
The senate expects to get along with
out a sifting committee.
The committee on education thinks
it is none of the public's business what
school txiards do with public money
so it killed the bill reouirincr school
loards to publish their proceedings
the same as city couWils anil county
boards are required to do. Since most
school boards have the same ideas the
the opinion is unanimous so far as
they aie concerned.
The Doulas primary bill provoked a
lot of oratory in the house but was
finally advanced. This bill provides
for a combination of convention and
primary. Candidates are to be selected
by a convention and then selections
will be made from the list in a pri
mary. Opponents of the bill predict
that if it becomes a law that refer
endum will be invoked and the people
will kill it.
Senate file 120, which asks congress
to provide a national board for cen
soring moving pictures, was taken
away from the house committee on
child welfare and reported out.

Why We are the Cleanest
Clothed People in the World
i
Said a famous Frenchman, visiting America
for the first time: "Ah you Americans
you are the cleanest clothed people in the
world. I envy you!" We have reason to
believe he meant what he said.
Clothes sent "out" in Siam are usually
washed in a village pond one water
for everybody's washing. Clow-can
sprinkling is universal among the
Chinese. In Mexico it is well known
that laundresses rent out apparel of
their patrons many instances are re
lated of men meeting their own shirts
on unfamiliar backs. Europe, too, has
its unusual customs.
Yet, clothes look clean in these
countries the difference is that here
we have linked up sanitary service
with our laundering. With us, clothes
are sterilized as well as cleansed.
This Will Illustrate :
Everything in the family bundle is
washed in five to ten baths of cleans
ing suds and rainsoft water in modern
laundries.
Sterilized, superheated air of 210
degrees to 280 degrees temperature is
used in drying. Still other pieces are
dried in ironing at a temperature of
320 degrees.
Clean clothes never come into con
tact with the soiled-wrapping in
aseptic paper, in a speciatt shipping
room well removed from the receiv
ing room, is the final step.
In modern laundries, personal arj
parel is refreshed and deansed 1
wardly and outwardly-actually made
purer than the milk we drink.
It is w-ell to remember that this
service of sanitation - which helns
keep us the cleanest clothed people in
the world-is obtainable only
modern laundries. y n
To be sure of this service that is
safe and saving; to be sure of protec
tion for your own health and that of
