THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1923. PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOURNAL HAS RECORD OF FIFTY YEARS' AS A Former U of N Instructor Recalls Grasshopper Days and Buffalo Hunting in Nebraska. Dr. Gilbert Ellis Bailey, who was professor of chemistry at the Univer sity of Nebraska in 1874, lias' for the last fifteen years been professor of geology in the University of South ern California, says the State Jour nal. Mr. Lui'y celebrated hid seventy-first birthday a few weeks ago, and last week marked the end of fifty years of work as a professor. In an article in the Los Angeles j Times. Doctor Bailey reminds his; readers of the changes in education which have taken place during that time. Although deeply appreciative of the good old days he closes his article by saying that as he looks back over his fifty years as a univer sity professor he can only wonder at the immense progress that has been made and look forward to a still greater, grander progress in the fu ture. Dr. Bailey recalls that a part of his duties during the year at the Univerrifv of Nebraska were "kill ing bufTalo for the grasshopper suf- rrers. hnntiner on the republican rK-pr .mil i;ptnini? Prnfsor Rilev give a grr.sshopper banquet at Lin- coin." A m.?p of the country at that time would have shown that nearly all, of the educational institution.! were; from Chicago eastward. West of the Mississippi river was largely terra terra incognita. In Los Angeles fifty years ago they were just graduating their first class of seven from the high school. The status of science ct that lime is shown by Dr. Bailey's textbook, which he still keeps. It was writ ten by a Yale rrcfe.sor and "cover ed" the whole range of science in S.'.O small pagos. It advised the stu- dent that safety from lightning, could be found by "being within a j ieatuer ;ct. so as 10 ne entirely en veloped by the feathers." with fur ther warning not to let "the head or feet come into contact with the bed stead." It was a textbook of the times when men carried ladders to li?ht the street gr.s lights, as they did in front of the university. v. i. iumR "Just emerged from two-old-cat" fifty years ago, while football was purely a kicking scrimmage in which j one's shins suffered most. "No one ' , . . j.. . a coach might pull down more thn prexy himself." Dr. Bailey views with cheerful complacense the youth of today. He believes co-education is beneficial; he thinks methods of courting have rot changed very greatly; he insists that more safeguards are thrown cround the students of today than around those of yesterday and re joices that old-fashioned hazing is now the exception. The denomina- community anu me proper tional colleges he sees as a vital ele- l,13pla of community pride in their ment in returning to normalcy.

The new series of postage stamps the ninth since gummed stamps were intrndncpd In this country, is grad- nlv. helm? distributed, each denom- inntion coins to offices as they uis' DOSe cf their old stamps. Tne gtory of the nation is told in the njne designs from 14 cents to $5, explains W. I. Glover, third assistant I nostmaster general, unaer wnose ui- I rection the series was prepared Together they, stand for America as it might be viewed by a newly-ar rived immigrant. The stranger's first thought is of the primitive dwellers in the land, the aboriginal Indians, but on arrival the statute of liberty jpreet3 him, the symbol of a new civi lization, the natural wonders opening to his view in this new world are I represented by the golden gate and Niagara falls and its different forms of animal life by the buffalo; from these the alien's thoughts are sup- posed to- turn to the deeds of men who lived and died to build and pre- (serve the nation, and this idea is marked by the Lincoln amphitheater and the Lincoln memorial; thence his ernment. and so to his vision of America, the final picture." America, the $5 stamp, is the crowning glory of the series. It is larger than the others and is printed in red and blue on a white back ground. The purpose of revising the series was to obtain distinctive de signs not so easily confused as are many of the present series. Confus ion of the old 2 and 12 cent stamps, for instance, has been a frequent source of error. The 13 cent stamp, which originat ed in war times when the combined postage and registration fee was 13 cents, is not in the new series. There re two new ones, the 14 and 25 cent stamps, which are convenient in mail ing parcels Theodore Roosevelt appears on the o eeni stamp, me one wnicn mosi frequently carries letters to foreign lands. This .is his first appearance on a stamp. Technical descriptions of the dlf ferent stamp colors give a little in- formation to the layman in some in stances. Reference to the table shows that secretary of senate compensa tion check, for example, federal farm loan bank, and one centavos Philip pine island3 internal revenue are translated respectively into pink, daik gray and lavender. These terms are from the color scheme . of the United States bureau of printing and engraving. The designs and colors of the new stamps follow: 1 cent Franklin, green. 2 cent Washington, red. 3 cent Lincoln, purple. . 4 cent Martha Washington, of black-brown. 5 cent Roosevelt, blue. 6 cent Garfield, orange. 7 cent McKinley, black. 8 cent Grant, olive. 9 cent Jefferson, pink.. 10 cent Monroe, yellow. 11 cent Hayes, light blue. 12 cent Cleveland, purple-brown. 14 cent Indian head, yellow green. 15 cent Statute of liberty, dark gray. 20 cent Golden gate, of cigaret blue. 25 cent Niagara falls, of note green. 30 cent Buffalo, sepia. 50 cent Arlington amphitheater, lavender. $1 Lincoln memorial, brown. $2 United States capitol, blue. 15 American head, red, white and blue. ROUNDING UP CARS FOR OMAHA TRIP JULY 9TH , L. O. Minor, who has accepted the responsibility of rounding up trans portation for the Eagles band and other artists on the radio program, to and from Omaha next Monday night, is desirious of securing at least six or seven car owners who are willing to make the trip, leav ing here at 6:45 in the evening. Of course if the roads are bad, the trip will have to be made on the train. Otherwise, it is arranged to go in cars of which it is estimated it will folro of Iaoo .

Anyone having a car and who is willing to make the trip will please get In touch with Mr. Minor at once.

MOST MARRIED WOMEN HAPPY THE STATISTICS SHOW Out of 1,000 Replies from Among All Walks of Life, 87 Say Mar ital Life Runs Smoothly Statistics compiled under the direc tion of the American Social Hygiene association indicate that 87 per cent of the married women of America are happy. One per cent of those who returned questionnaires failed tq specify as to happiness. Tins miormation was omaineu from 1,000 women. While the num ber is too small to bo taken as an ab solute standard for the entire coun try, the results are considered in dicative. A total of 10,000 question naires were sent to women in all walks of life and in all parts of the United States. Had Their Opportunity The replies were naturally sent in anonymously. Despite the fact that the women thus had an opportunity, without fear of exposure, to paint sorry pictures of their lot in life and to give unbiased opinions of their husbands, only one woman charged her lTusband with cruelty. Of the 116 women who replied that they were unhappy, sixty-three as - signed the cause to incompatibality of temperament or interests. Four- teen said economic hardships were to blame. Only two ascribed "too much motherinlaw." The others gave var ious' reasons. Mativ Collefe Women Answer Though the questions were sent to:shiI13 vaiting for the dash to quar women of little education and to Col-iantine rarry 1,624 Greeks. The Ital lege graduates alike, nearly one-half of the renlies came from those who had attended college. One of the rea- sons eiven for this is that the qucs- tionnaire was so long and Involved cn mnnv tnniitripa thnt thf women ofi15"-!. and P.elglUlil, 13 little education were frightened by its complexities. - The average age of those who an swered was 37. They varied from 21 to S3. The average length of time married exceeded fifteen years. Tiiere were no unhappy wives under 24 or over 67. An overwhelming pro portion of the women recommended some form of sex instruction previ ous to marriage as a safeguard for future happiness. Many advised against employment outside of the home after marriage. MOVIE GARDEN IS OPEN FOR SEASON' New Addition to the Amusement Places of the City Makes De but for the Season. The Movie Garden which occupies! the site of the former Airdome on South Fifth street, has been formal ly opened to the public and will con tinue to operate during tne heated season with showings of the latest pictures and vaudeville.

Mr. Lewis had tried to stop the car as he saw the children coming across and the brakes were applied, sliding the car several feet so that there was not much speed when the car struck the child. The little ones were badly frightened and refused to allow Mr. Lewis to take them home. LOST Fifteen Jewel, open face Elgin gold watch. Had fob with Moose emblem Lost anything? Advertise it. Z MRS.

New York, . June 30. Sixteen steamships, their rails lined with 7,- 000 aliens who have forsaken their home lands, rode at anchor outside Ambrose lightship today waiting for the stroke of midnight to dash for quarantine, with adriiittance to the United States of their immigrant passengers as their goal. Heartbreaking scenes are expect ed by immigration officials as many of the immigrants who hope to gain entry to America under the July quotas of their respective countries face deportation because of the ex cessive numbers seeking admission. Fully 15,000 passengers are aboard twenty steamships that will enter this port tomorrow and Mon day. Most of them are immigrants. The midnight race will be timed by three official watches so that there will be no dispute about the first to reach quarantine. One watch will be kept by the Postal Telegraph, another by Western Union and the third by Ellis Island officials. Many aliens on slow vessels still steaming across the Atlantic will have made the journey in vain. They will be sent back to Europe without charge. During the day they will handle but 2,000 immigrants. Cramped con ditions are expected at Ellis Island, as there are only beds for 600. Many immigrants will be held on board ships for four or five days. Henry H. Curran, new commis sioner of immigration, who assumed '"' duties today, has asked Assistant j secretary of Labor White, Assistant Commissioner General Wixon and Chief Inspector Sibray to come to Ellis Island to expedite cases of im- migration who seek a review by Washington.

DOUBLE FUNERAL AS EROTHER AND SISTER BURIED AT GREENWOOD Last Saturday was a day of double mourning for one of Eagle's families. which seems to be having more than a reasonable amount of grief of late. As was stated in the Beacon last week R. C. Iloham.a brother of Mrs. Dr. Longacre, was accidently killed by a switch engine in the yards at Havelock while engaged in his duties as a switchman. 1 On the same day and at about the same hour a sister, Mrs. Jesse Reed, of Collis, Minn.,, who was known to be at death's door, passed away. Her remains were brought to Greenwood Friday evening and on Saturday the remains of brother and sister were laid away side by' side in the family plot. There was a large attendance at the funeral as both were well known in the community. Many went from here. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mrs. Dong acre in her sorrow. Eagle Beacon.

SMOOT PREDICTS HARDING'S RE-ELECTION WITHOUT FIGHT Utah Senator Also Expects Soldier Bonus Over Veto if Necessary Borah No Candidate. Washington, June 30. President Harding will bo re-nominated with out opposition and re-elected with out a real fight, although Henry Ford will be a candidate, Senator Smoot of Utah said here today on his way east to go abroad to study European economic conditions. He also predicted passage of a soldiers bonus bill by congress. Speaking of Mr. Ford, the senator said he does not consider him strong in the west, and that although he may know much about the median ii?m of an automobile, "a man who has presidential aspiration must know something about history of .the country." President Harding's western trip is having "a wonderful effect on the western people," the senator con tinued. adding that he did not be lieve Senator Borah of Idaho would be a presidential candidate. The president, he said, would be likely to veto a bonus bill which did not contain a provision for raising the money for payment, but he thought congress would pass some bonus measure even over a veto.

Nearly 200, 000 German marks, which had a face value of $47,600 before the war. could be purchased in the local for eign exchange market today for $1. The official rate quoted for marks was .000o cent eacn tne lowest ever recorded.

HEAD $123,000 to be Raised from Among the State Banks One-Twentieth of One Per Cent. Secretary Knudson or the depart ment of trade and commerce has lev ied an assessment upon all of the state banks ot one-twentieth of one per cent. This Is the regular semi annual assessment and the proceeds go into the state deposit guaranty fund. There is no actual transfer of cash. Each bank carries on its books an account with the fund and when an assessment is levied they credit the fund with their proportion, fig ured on their average deposits. When a draft is made on the fund to pay depositors in a failed bank, the secretary draws a draft for each bank's proportion, and it pays this draft In the ordinary way. When a contribution to the fund is collected from a failed bank the secretary sends a corresponding draft and the bank collects on this. The assessment will add about $123,000 to the fund. The guaranty fund commission has adjourned its sittings until July 10. It has elected E. J. Dempster of Geneva as vice chairman and Van Peterson of Curtis as secretary. These officiated in the same capaci ties for the temporary commission now out of office. The meeting was devoted largely to a discussion of plans for taking over and reducing the number of re ceiverships. This is a vital part of the bankers plan as expressed in the law, as greatly reduces the expenses and correspondingly benefits the guaranty fund. This will be pshed as rapidly as possible, although some opposition is expected from the men and attorneys who will lose desirable assignments. The commission has de ferred all appointments of attorneys and assistants and fixing of salaries to a future meeting. ffoleproof faserr As Plattsmouth headquar ters for Holeproof Hosiery for women, we naturally carry a complete line of the latest style ideas.
