NUDISTS ANSWER AL SMITH
New York. The international
nudist conference struck back at the
advisory council of the Legion of
Decency and said "it Is strange In
deed" to find Alfred E. Smith in the
role of a crusader against nudism.
The former governor is chairman of
the advisory council.
"It appears," said Rev. Ilsley
Boone, executive secretary of the
nudist conference, "that the Legion
of Decency of the Catholic church
proposes an amendment to the pres
ent state laws against immorality,
this amendment being directed speci
fically against the nudist move
ment. . . .
"In the present instance, it is
strange indeed to find Mr. Smith fa
voring legislation designed to pro
hibit in the realm of moral3, if indeed
it be claimed that nudism is' itself
immoral, for he was one of the coun
try's staunchest advocates of prohi
bition repeal and on the first anni
versary of repeal made the state
ment that we cannot make people
moral by legislation. This has long
been recognized. Yet there is more
social danger to our young folks in
a quart of gin than in three miles
of state censored movie film."
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS GOLD
Baltimore. The secret service di
vision of the treasury department
mada it known that regardless of
who Judge Eugene O'Dunne decides
should have the gom hoard found
in a cellar here, Uncle Sam wants
the gold. A secret operative attend
ed the opening of hearings in the
circuit court and laid claim to the
3.53S coins now in the court clerk's
custody. The treasury will redeem
them by bullion measure instead of
the $11,000 face value, it was inti
mated. Since the coins weigh ap
proximately seventy pounds, this
may boost the value above $11,000.
Two boys, Theodore Jones and
Henry Grob, found the golden for
tune buried in an old copper con
tainer in the cellar of the house oc
cupied by Jones' family. The heirs

Washington. Senator Glass of
Virginia celebrated hi3 seventy-seventh
birth anniversary by going to
work earlier than usual and putting
in a full day's attendance.
He saw politicians and job-seekers,
attended the joint session for the
president's speech, walked twice
down the "longest corridor in the
world" between the senate and house
wings, and chatted with colleagues
with a vigor that belied his three
score and seventeen years.
Glass now 13 in his third senate
term. He served nine terms in the

Beyond Comparison in Quality,
Construction, Appearance and Price
With Any First Quality Tire Made
Tie way to create a
TIRE SENSATION is to
give the people what tliey
want, and Firestone has
done this with the new
Firestone Century Progress
Tire.
As millions of people
visited the Firestone Factory
at the World's Fair last year,
we asked this question
"What do you value most in
a tire?" They answered
"Give us Blow out Protection,
Non-Skid Safety, and Long
Wear at a moderate price."
This was a hig order, hut
Firestone has a hahit of
giving car owners what they
want when they want it.
We knew there was only
one way to build Quality
and Value into a tire at a
moderate price, and that
was by volume production,
"We built the greatest tire
ever made to sell at these
low prices. Car owners are
profiting because we found
out what they wanted and
found the way to give it to
them.
ThenewFirestoneCentury
Progress Tire IS EQUAL
OR SUPERIOR to any first
quality tire built, regardless
of "name, brand, by whom
manufactured, or at' what
price offered for sale.

swercd by Assistant Scout Executive
Ilar'oottle, who' later introduced Rev.
Walter II. Jackson, of Nebraska City,
r.z the man who has been selected to
be general chairman of circus promo
tion. Rev. Jackson, who until his re
cent assignment to Nebraska City, has
long beon active in Scouting circles
in the Covered Wagon council (north
of the Platte) gave an enthusiastic
explanation of the plans he has for
making the circus a success and be
spoke the co-cpcraticn of each troop
in the district. This one and one to
be held E.t Grand Island in June will
be the only two district circuses ever
undertaken, although in the larger
cities of the country they are held at
frequent intervals. It was admitted
that it would take a lot of energy to
put it over, but Rev. Jackson stated
they are assured of co-operation of
such concerns as the Lincoln Tele
phone company, which owns exten
sive equipment used in signaling used
at Lincoln circuses and also of Lin
coln Scouts who have acquired con
3:derable of the material needed and
will place use of the same at the dis
posal cf the Arbor Lodge district. A
complete organization will be set up
to look after all details and put the
circu3 on in a manner that will re
flect credit upon. Scouting in this dis
trict. .Mimeographed sheets describ
ing the acts desired in detail will be
sent out from Lincoln In a few days
and troops may select the parts they
prefer to take, after which general as
signment will be made and practice
can ba started in the individual troops
by February 1st. It is admitted that
the biggest difficulty will be in co
ordinating the acts without delay in
clearing the floor and getting the
next group out without the benefit of
rehearsal, such as is possible when
all acts are made up in one town, but
to this end the services of staging to return w
directors with showmanship ability
will be sought.

William J. Loeffel, state director
of FERA meat processing, said the
number of cattle processed in Ne
braska will total more than 4 S 0,000
head.
Loeffel said 373,289 head of cattle
had been bought in the state.
Amount spent for cattle purchases
by the government in Nebraska al
ready is more than -C, 500, 000.
The quota for cattle urchases this
week is 6,975 and government

Flcmington, N. J. The Haupt
mann trial means dollars to Flem
ington. A small army of 700 news
papermen, telegraph operators, visi
tors and others have "dug in" for the
duration of the trial, which the pros
ecution thinks will run from four
to six weeks. It is estimated that
each cf the 700 visiters will spend
$10 a day. That will mean $7,000 a
day, 34S.OOO a v.cek. $196,000 if
the trial lasts a month,, and $294,
000 if it runs six weeks. Add to that
the amount of money spent for item.3
other than living expenses, and the
