Are Sure Giving Value.
The Dewier Brothers, the owners
of the Chevrolet Service Company,
who sell cars as well as make the
used one run to the very best, have
just designed an unique method of
advertising. They have made up a
book of services which ordinarily
would cost six dollars and which
they are selling for one dollar. The
service consists of mending tires,
washing the auto, recharging the
batteries, towing not to exceed two
miles, checking breaks and a num
ber of other things which every car
owner needs and most every day, all
amounting to six dollars, which they
sell for one dollar. It looks like
every person in the vicinity of Weep

Herman Hillman, who has an old
model T Ford and wished a power
plant, sawed the rear end of the
Ford off and placing a pully there
on the end of the drive shaft, has
the chassis harnessed up now so that

father has been making his home at
Idaho Falls, arrived in Weeping Wa

Elmer and family. Mr. Kintner says

Washington From the democrat
who probably will be the next speaker
there came Tuesday a prediction that
the house will organize and be ready
for business within two hours after
it meets. John N. Garner, who is
unopposed for the democratic speak
ership nomination, made that
"guess." It was the first public indi
cation from him that he did not be

several days, as it often has in the
past, when party strength was as
closely divided as it now is.
When his remark was interpreted
as meaning he expected to win the
speaker's chair immediately. Garner
quickly added: "I didn't say that."
Meanwhile, the closely contested
race for the republican speakership
nomination between Snell of New
York and Tilson of Connecticut in
republican ranks was further com
plicated by a prediction from Rep
resentative Hawley of Oregon, chair
man of the republican conference.
He said: "As long as Tilson wants to
he will remain as leader of the par
ty. If he should be elected speaker
he would leave the floor leadership
vacant: if not, he will remain leader
of the minority." Tilson was elected
floor leader in a caucus last Febru
ary. Hawley's interpretation of party
rules, however, brought immediate
denials from friends of Snell. State

Clinic for
the Children at
Nebraska City
Crippled and Physically Handicapped
Children to Receive Free
Examination.
The parents of every crippled or
physically handicapped child in Cass,
Johnson, Nemaha and Otoe counties,
are urged to avail themselves of the
opportunity of having their child ex
amined at the free clinic for crippled
children which will be held at the
Elks club in Nebraska City, Thurs
day, November 19, 1931.
The clinic will be conducted under
the auspices of the medical men in
the four counties and the Nebraska
City Lodge of Elks in co-operation
with a program for the physical re
storation and education of crippled
children in Nebraska, which is being
sponsored by the Nebraska State
Elks Association and the civilian re
habilitation division of the State De
partment for Vocational Education.
. Mr. J. H. Sweet, exalted ruler, of
the Nebraska City lodge of Elks and
his crippled children committee, Mr.
John Pfann, Mr. Lloyd E. Peterson
and Mr. Frank Coe, 'have charge of
the housing and general clinic ar
rangements for the lodge. A commit
tee composed entirely of women will
receive and register all of those who
attend the clinic. Representatives
from interested civic and fraternal
groups have been invited to attend
and assist he Elks in the program
committee room.
The interior of the Elks club
building will take on the general ap
pearance of an emergency hospital
in a stricken area, on the day of the
clinic. The task ci arranging the
interior to provid" adequate space for
the various examinations is in the
hand" of the Elks committee. The
committee stated that no detail which
will contribute to the privacy and
comf.lrt of the patients has been
overlooked. The clinic is so highly
organized that there will be no con
fusion in accommodating the several
hundred examiners, assistants, pat
ients and lay committees required in
a oiie day clinic of this kind.
Dr. R. H. Loder, Syracuse, chair
man of the Medical Clinic Commit
tee, composed of representatives
from the medical groups in the four
counties, announced that all details
covering the t?xaminations were vir
tdi:iy complete The bervices of ap
proximately thirty-five physicians.
surgeons and dentists and twenty
six nurses will be required to handle
the medical sections of the clinic dur
ing the day. He also stated that he
had received several inquiries from
doctors outside of the four counties,
regarding the work, and has extend
ed each of them an invitation to at
tend the clinic. The dlntc will rep
resent one of the largest gatherings
of professional men and women ever
assembled in this area in the inter
est of crippled humanity.
According to the plan of the clinic,
children and parents will be received
and registered by a special women's
committee. The history of their case
and all other information necessary
for the examiners will be obtained
by nurses. They will then receive
heart, lung and abdominal examin
ations, and finally th eorthopedic ex
amination. Those requiring neuro
examinations will be routed to this
department.
After the examinations have been
completed, the reports will be sent
to a special medical committee, the
members of which will reduce the
reports to language which may be
understood by the parents.
The reports will then go to the
program committee, consisting of the
co-operaing lay groups. This commit
tee is one of the most important sec
tions of the clinic, for it gives the
parents valuable advice regarding
the recommendations of the exam
iners.
The medical clinic activities com
mittee having charge of the medical
organization of the clinic is: Dr.
Roland H. Loder, Syracuse, chair-
iman; Dr. Martha M. McVean, Dr.

FISH ARE REMOVED FROM
LOW PONDS NEAR NORFOLK
Norfolk, Neb., Nov. 18. The work
of removing game fish, particularly
brook trout, from breeding ponds in
north Nebraska and of salvaging fish
from other ponds which are shallow
because of the dry summer and are
likely to freeze solid this winter, has
been progressing rapidly lately. The
job is being done by the state game,
forestation and parks commission un
der the direction of G. H. Nichols,
field man.
Fourteen thousand eastern brook
trout from three to six inches long
have ben taken from four ponds, one
on Dikeman creek near Royal, an
other on the E. C. Rector ranch north
of Ewing and two near Star on
Steele creek.

Saving Expect
ed in the Navy
Changes Include Loss of Eleven Hun
dred Men and Laying Up of
Seventeen Ships
Washington Changes in the as
signment of navy vessels that will
mean a net loss of approximately 100
officers and 1100 men, laying up of
17 vessels and an annual saving of
about $3,700,000, were announced by
the Navy Department here today in
what was widely interpreted as the
beginning of an active policy of re
trenchment. On the other hand naval offi
cials asserted that the decommis
sioning of speciflced vessels and the
laying up of others was part of a
program that was instituted long be
fore the Hoover economy drive was
announced, and that it is based sole
ly on the interests of increased effi
ciency. The ships to be complete decom
missioner are the Rochester, second
line cruiser; ithe Jason, aircraft ten
der in the Asiatic fleet, and three
submarines R-2, R-4 and R-5. The
latter will go. to the Philadelphia
Navy Yard for, eventual recommis
sioning. The ships to be laid up with skele
ton crews, approximately 30 per cent
of normal, are six destroyers from
the Asiatic fleet, and six submarines
from the Asiatic station. The de
stroyers will be displaced by the
Asheville and Sacramento, gunboats.
According to Rear Admiral Wil
liam V. Pratt the American de
stroyers are reaching the peak of
obsolence, and until better ships are
made available for replacements, in
cluding submarines; the present ves
sels should be removed as much as
possible from a strenuous schedule
of operations. Admiral Pratt likewise
feels that the submarines on the
Asiatic station are past their maxi
mum of efficiency and are not
needed in Asiatic waters.
The net loss of officers and men
by the changes will reach about 1100
it is estimated. The group of displac
ed men may be used elsewhere, but
no final decision will be made as to
their transfer pending action on the
1933 budget by Congress. Unques
tionably there will be lengthy dis
cussions in Congress over the Presi
dent's economy program and possibly
action that will block It.
Col. J. Clawson Roop, director of
the budget. Admiral Pratt and Mr.
Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of
the Navy, called at the White House
this morning and discussed the navy
budget.
Mr. Theodore Joslin, Mr. Hoover's
secretary, announced that a state
ment probably will be made later.
DUCK SEASON CLOSES
From Wednesday's Daily
Thursday is the last day of the duck
hunting season for 1931, the hunters
being out in large number yesterday
and today to try and secure a last
shot at the elusive duck. The season
has been one of the poorest in years,
there being only a very small part
of the ducks to be found that have
marked the previous seasons.
The dry conditions in the summer
season in the feeding grounds cf the
ducks In the north as well as the
slaughter of the ducks in the past
few years at the lakes and streams
in the north part of the U. S. and
in Canada have served to cut down
the number.
It is the general expectation that
a closed season for one or two years
on the ducks will be declared by the
federal government in order that the
entire wiping' out of the . wild ducks
and geese may' be halted. Where
once .flocks of hundreds of the ducks
and geese could be observed along
the streams in this section of the
west, now only a few scattering birds
are to be found in the migrating
season. Sportsmen in general are
urging the protection of the ducks
and wild geese that they may not
suffer the fate of other forms of wild
life in extinction.

Threat Seen to
Old Treaties in
China-Japan Row
Menacing Issue Thrust Into Man-
churian Peace Negotiations
Affects Versailles Pact.
Paris A new and menacing is
sue was thrust Tuesday into Man
churian peace negotiations. This is
sue was the possible effect on agi
tation to change the treaty of Ver
sailles in the event the League of
Nations council fails to uphold Ja
pan's demand that China recognize
the sanctity of all compacts existing
between Tokyo and Nanking govern
ments. Along with this new issue
came two other factors that confused
the search for the elusive compro
mise that might bring peace to Man
churia. There were indications the
United States was relaxing its firm
stand for Japanese evacuation of the
disputed area. And there were rum
blings from Russia.

Recognition of Treaties.
The recognition of existing treaties
is one of the five conditions lai'l
down by Tokyo for evacuation of
Manchuria. At a private meeting of
twelve. of the council members the
Chinese. and Japanese representatives
did not attend it was decided to
ask Japan to define exactly what it
means of the validity of treaties ex
isting between the two countries.
Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese represen
