Bright Lights a Menace.
There was a law passed some time
since in regard to the lights on an
auto, one which required a lens on
the lights of such refactory power
that the glare would be taken out of
the lights and the traveling at night
on the highways be rendered the
more safe. However, the bright
lights continue to be used and in
many cases cause accidents and much

damage as well as injury and death
to those traveling. A new device
has been invented which takes the
glare out of the bright lights, yet
still leaving the power of the light
for the roadway but keeps it from
the eyes of the driver coming against
them. Ray Galloway of 'Union was
installing them when we were in
Union a few days since.
Perfect-O-Lite Means Safety.
I have the agency for Cass county
for the perfect-o-lite. Try a pair at
my risk. They take away the glare
in auto lights.

Theabold Kihn Very Sick.

comfort to the parents in his illness.
Mr. Rihn was to visit the father a

ther better and that he may soon be

Finds Bare Coin.
In the ordinary run of business at
the restaurant of Mrs. H. W. Griffin,
she received in payment for eats at
the cafe, a half dollar bearing the
date of 1838, or ninety-three years
old. She took it to the Bank of Un
ion who had a catalog of old and rare
coins and found that there were a
number of designs of this coin of that
date and one bearing an "o" was
listed as being worth some seven
hundred dollars, but the coin which
Mrs. Griffin has failed to show the
letter on it and was listed as being
worth fifty cents and was worth its
face value.
Attending Convention at Omaha.

service is now wanted and when fin
ished will cover 14 towns and 15 or
IS rural schools. She tries to take
in all that wish the service during
the five school days in week.
The following letter from Supt. J.
H. Adee of the Consolidated School :
at Eagle, tells of the reaction to
this service.
Eagle, Nebraska.
Nov. 23, 1931.
Mrs. Henry A. Toll
Murdock. Nebraska
Dear Mrs. Tool:
At your request, I am stating our
reaction in the schools toward Nutri
tion work oifered by the Red Cross.
The course has been oifered now for
a period of eight weeks in each grade
of our elementary school by the Nu
trition worker of the Red Crops, Mrs.
Stepp, each Tuesday and to an adult
class from 2:30 to 4:30. The work
has been scheduled in a large meas
ure during the Hygiene period of
the pupils and correlates well with
the aims of the health curse. We
realize that improved diet means
better health and increated effici
ency. Pupils and parents need to
be informed that quality .f food is
as important as quantity. It is more
economical to properly balance a diet
than to eat an improper one.
Our experience seem to confirm
the adage that a prophet Is without
honor in his own country as the children-listen
to the Nutrition worker
better than to parents or teachers
and are more responsive in trying
to form the habit of eating the pro
per foods. Even those pupils and par
ents who are diet conscious often
need to be reminded. To fix a habit,
it is necessary that attention be cen
tered upon it from time to time.
This the Nutrition worker does in
regard to proper food habits.
As a parent, it is to be noted that
our children are eating foods cheer
fully which were taboo formerly with
them. The consumption is that
health is improved, a gain in weight
is noted and a more cheerful attitude
is noticeable.
Personally, I can give the work my
hearty approval as it carries out one
of the aims of education which is
health.
I trust the rest of the county may
be as fortunate as we have been in
having the opportunity to have this
work in our schools.
Sincerely yours,
J. H. ADEE.
Mr. J. H. Adee is superintendent
of the Eagle Consolidated Schools.

MOURN C. M. HOWARD DEATH
Grand Island News of the death
in Boston of Clarence M. Howard
came as a shock to old residents of
Grand Island, many of whom were
friends of his family. He spent his
boyhood here and began his business
career here.
Blake Clinton Howard. Clarence's
father, was a master mechanic in the
Union Pacific car shops here for many
years, and became closely identified
with the community. He was inter
ested in civic affairs, and because of
his sei fice as a member of the school
board of education, Howard school
and Howard street were named after
him.
Clarence's paternal ancestors set
tled in this country in 1634 and were
Presbyterian in religious faith. His
mother belonged to an old American
family and among her distant rela
tives was President Grover Cleve
land. POSTPONE SOCIAL

Family Quarrel
of Republicans
Not Yet Settled
Ranks Divided in Congress, While
Democrats Put Up United Front
Westerners Fight Moses
Washington Republican forces
divided before a united democratic
front as congress went to work after
receiving President Hoover's program
for steadying government finances
and speeding prosperity. First roll
calls in both house and senate show
ed the republican independents from
the northwest kicking up their heels
in the faces of regular administration
forces. Standing together the house
democratic majority scored a victory.
The senate democratic minority held
ranks and got a stalemate.
The house vote made it possible
for 145 members to bring a bill up
for decision. A vote on prohibition
probably will result. The new rules,
sponsored by the democrats, won by
227 to 194 with 11 republican inde

pendents joining the democratic ma
jority. It was a more personal affair in
the senate, where the three roll calls
were on the selection of a president
pro tempore. Twelve republicans
from the northwest bolted the party's
candidate, Moses of New Hampshire.
Senate democrats lined up solidly
behind their candidate, Pittnian of
Nevada, and sat back to aait a set
tlement of the republican family
quarrel. More votes will be taken
Wednesday, but no decision is in
prospect. Meanwhile Moses is still
president pro tem "very still," an.l
one of his close friends put it. He
is saying nothing.
Putting Hands to Wheel.
But even as these routine neces
sities of organization were permit
ting the new congress to get off some
of its recess steam, the legislators
were putting their hands to the
wheels for grinding out Presidential
recommendations.
The administration group lu.p?s
for early action on the president's
proposal for authorization of a gi
gantic credit corporation to bolster
up the emergency 500 million volun
tary pool formed last fall. Bills to
bring this about were introduced
promptly.
Democrats in the house hastened
to organize the important appropria
tions committee charged with fixing
the funds for carrying on the govern
ment next year. Representative
Byrns of Tennessee, the democratic
chairman, announced first consider
ation would be given to the request
by Mr. Hoover for an additional 200
millions to meet demands for loans
on the soldiers' bonus insurance cer
tificates. -
The outcome of the senate vote
cn president pro tem is clouded in
considerable doubt. Despite the per
sonal touch of the contest no bitter
ness was displayed by the member
ship. Senator Robinson, democratic
leader, smiled as he called for the
election of a president. Senator Wat
son, republican, smiled too, as he
nominated Moses, against whom the
fight was directed. Senator Norris
smiled and the senate smiled with
him as he asked if a vote could be
cast for any candidate without nom
inating him. Moses smiled as he
heard one after another of the "sons
of the wild jackass" vote against him.
