When Dr. P. J. Flynn and family
came to Plattsmouth to reside they
brought with them "Laddie," a fine
collie dog that has in the years since
become a familiar fignre and the ob
ject of admiration from the children
especially who found in him a faith
ful friend and playmate. The faith
ful old dog is gone now, however, as
he has been, gradually growing so
feeble and old that he could xiot get
around and it was finally decided to
put him out of his suffering by .
chloroform. The passing of the play
mate and comrade of years has cast
a deep gloom over the Flynn house
hold and the. neighborhood where
the family has lived.
SELECTED AS INSTRUCTOR
Mr. W. L. Wernock, correspondent
of the Repperfs Auction School, of
Boulder, Colorado, writes the Journal
relative to CoL Rex Young who came
to Boulder as a student in the school.
He had not been in the school but a
short time when the management,
observing his ability, placed him
among the faculty of the school as
an instructor, thnis recognizing his
ability as an auctioneer and a hand
ler of men. We have known of Col.
Young's ability along this line and
felt certain he would make good in
his line anywhere.
THE MAN IN THE CAB
If you were in the cab of an en
gine speeding down the rails at forty
to sixty miles an hour and some half
drunk motorist came toward you
whizzing down a country lane with
his motor wide open, what do you
think about while that poor crazy
fool is flirting with death? You
knew that death rides ever under
your wheels. You know that cross
ing your pilot approaches may be
the last crossing some reckless driver
will ever attempt in this world. With
that possibility hanging over you
dozens of times in every day's work
what does it all mean to you? Chas. I
J. Barnett, locomotive engineer on .
the Illinois Central, gives this an
swer in an article in National Safe
ty News:
"From my cab window I often see
two or three automobiles speeding
to a crossing, coming from different
way. Each driver knows what I am
going to do. I am going straight
ahead on two narrow lines of rails,
4 feet and 1-2 an inch apart. I can
not turn aside, and I am not suppos
ed to stop to permit them to pass.
They all know that. But I have no
way of knowing what he intends to
do. One may race right up to the
end of the ties and stop. I suppose he
docs that to give me a thrill. If so,
he succeeds. Another may decide to
chance it and cross. Maybe he gets
across by reason of the shortness of
his wheelbase and the fact that he is
not carrying a spare tire. Sometimes
they flit up from the fireman's side
and I don't see them until No. 1100's
pilot is nosing past their tail light.."
Engineer Barnett -can't see why
the power of the 700 tons in his
train doesn't make some impression
upon the caution centers in the mo
torist's brain. "A train moving at the
speed of a mile a minute travels one-
eighth of a mile in seven and a half i
seconds," he says, and adds, signifi
cantly, "and seven and one-half sec
onds is a mighty brief interval."
And yet for all the speed and power
of a swiftly moving train, thirty!
drivers last year lost their lives af
ter driving through closed crossing
gates. In April. May and June of.
1922 seventy-seven motorists went
into the next world suddenly after
having disregarded or having run
over crossing watchmen. In twelve
cases the dead motorists lost their
lives by running head on into a train
that was actually blocking the cross
ing. Under the circumstances it is' no
wonder that Engineer Barnett never
climbs into his cab without feeliffgj
the strain of the possibility that the '
day's run may include a crossing fa
tality. And yet Engineer Barnett
has never had such a fatality yet, al
though he has piloted Engine No.
1100 a distance equivalent to seven
teen; times around the earth.

VETERANS' TRIBUTE
TO SCHUMANN-HEINK
Toast to Eer Son Who Sank in Ger
man U-Boat, While She Sobs
Had Sons in IT. S. A.
Minneapolis, June 30. While his
mother sat at the head bf the table
weeping, with her face buried in her
hands, thirty men who bore on their
bodies lasting scars of their service
for the allies in the World war, last
night silently drank a toast to a
man who went down on a German
U-boat in 19 IS and never came back.
He was the son of Madame Ernes
tine Sehumann-Helnk, in whose hon
or, as "the most distinguished dele
gate" to the convention of the Dis
jtbled American Veterans of the
World War, a dinner was given.
"I have two things to ask of you."
Madame Schumann-Heink said. Will
you promise these two things?"
"First, that you will never believe
any false stories you may hear about
me, stories that I was a German spy,
that I was untrue to this, my coun
try, and to you.
"The second promise I ask of you
is that, when I am dead, and it won't
be many more years now, you will
see to it that I am buried In America,
in my country. And, boys, maybe I
could have, in a way, the burial of a
soldier. Not any fuss. Have them
play 'taps' over my grave, as I have
sung it to you. Will you promise?"
Every one of the thirty veterans
silently stood up as she finished,
raised hia right hand and gave her
his solemn pledge.
"I had a son in the German navy.
He was mistaken, but he did what
he believed was right. I will not
apologize for him. I never have.
Remember, boys, I was his mother,
the same as I was the mother of
four sons serving with my country's
forces," said Madame Schumann
Heink. "And now," George E. Leach,
mayor of Minneapolis, said, "I pro
pose a toast to that man who went
down on the German U-boat in
1918."
Silently the thirty men arose and
raised their glasses. Madame Schumann-Heink
sank into her chair and
covered her face with her hands. Her
sobs could be heard by all.
And then those thirty men paid
her perhaps the finest tribute she
had ever received. Silently, with
bowed heads, they stood there and
waited until she had left the room.

BIRTH RATE FALLS) 1
COST IS TOO HIGH
All Agree High Cost of Living Chief
Obstacle to Big Families
Cut Out Children.
Chicago, July 2. It costs too much
to live, let alone raise children, Chi
cago ministers and physicians de
clared, in attempting to attribute a
cause for the decrease in the birth
rate of the country, as reported by
the bureau of Ftatistics, Washington.
The high cost cf living, not the
"modern girl" or birth-control propa
ganda, is the chief obstacle to big
families," it wrs agreed.
"It costs more to live now than
it used to, and the young people
are afraid to marry and have child
ren." the Rev. Johnston F. Meyers,
pastor of the Immanuel Baptist
church, said.
Many Work
"Then, too, many modern girlrt are
continuing in business after mar
riage, which is a most regrettable
ctate cf affairs. I think modern
women are not extravagant and the
'wild' type of girl ia in the minor
ity. H. N. Bundeson, Chicago health
commissioner, himself the father of
six children, declared the mother in
stinct would finally overbalance all
birth-control propaganda and that
only financial difficulties stood in
the way of "splendid, large fami
lies." "A home is never real without
children and I think our young peo
ple realize that." Bundeson said.
"The mother instinct is too deep
seated ever to be eradicated. There
is a" certain wildness in nKxlt-rn so
ciety, but I believe a decrease in
birth rates is due to the high cost
of living rather than to that."

LOSES FAST GAME
South Bend lost a very close and
the best game of the season to Wa
bash by the score of 4 to 3, the
past week. The contest was any
body's game up to the ninth inning.
The South Bend catcher was injured
In the third inning, being hit by a
pitched ball while at bat, which han
dicapped the South Bend team to
such an extent that they were un
able to win the game.
The batteries were: Wabash, Guy
Hopkins, pitcher; Hinds, catcher;
South Bend, Hoffman, pitcher, Har
din, catcher.
The batteries of both of the teams
were superior to the usual run of
amateur teams. Hopkins got four
teen strikeouts and Hoffman ten.
This was the third game that Hoff
man has ever pitched and s holding
Wabash to eight scattered hits. With
more experience and good manage
ment he will be ready for the big
show in a short time.
Special instructions in making the
novelties and attractive paper bas
kets and flowers can be had by call
