W CKECS 15th and Harney Streets AT lantic 4361 Appeals Court to Sit Weekly ¥ Judge Day to Block Avenue of Escape from Penalties. District Judge Day seek* to save the taxpayers and enrich the school board exchequer by a considerable sum, according to the announcement that beginning February 1 ha will hear appeals from the criminal division of the municipal court every’ Thurs day afternoon. In the past, appeals have been heard every few months with the result, says Judge Day, that the city prose cutor had to dismiss numerous cases because witnesses lost Interest or were not available. Thus have many police court fines been lost to the school beard fund. To C lose I Atop Holes. “There have been loop holes.' de clares Judge Day in a letter to the two city prosecutors, "by which petty criminals could avoid satisfying the penalty of the lower court. Wo are determined that the mere appeal from municipal court to the district court shall not prov* an avenue of escape to the guilty. ‘‘L'pon an appeal, the defendant is \ entitled to a fair trial and should be j given that trial as soon as possible Dismissal of cases should not recur because when the lesser offenses are not dealt with promptly the greater crimes are apt to increase.” Judge Goss Approves. By assisting the municipal court to become more effective. Judge Day lie lieves this action would remedy I lie difficulty in appeal cases and also discourage frivolous appeals. Judge Day stated he has had this idea in mind for several months. DIs trict Judge Goss, who will become the presiding jurist February 1, has ap proved this action. Judge Day will preside over court of domestic relations after Febru ary 1. • Auto Hits Truck; Two Die.

Bcc Want Ads Bring Itesults. “.a builder, with real selling ideas” joins The Omaha Bee January 15th and he will establish an advertising service department for The Bee that will mean much toward better ad vertising and successful business de velopment. Who does not remember the un common advertising of J. R. Phipps, the cobbler, The Goddard Fuel Co., Pray for Men, Wilcox & Allen, Stryker’s, Douglas Shoe Store, The French Dry Cleaning, Roberts’ Milk, Petersen & Pegau Baking Co. and a score of others. Each of these shows “the new slant” mind from his “new slant” pen. Each is an example of “stick out’’ copy, full of “the ring’’ of genuineness, for he picks his words with swift surety. He knows how to “say much in little”—and stop! In establishing this new Bee service department Mr. Austin will give his entire time to the accounts who seek his services. He will make a thorough study of your business and plan the kind of advertising that will do away with the risk of failure. The Bee is growing and growing fast —It is building the kind of a staff that a great newspaper must have and in bringing Mr. Austin to The Bee, we feel that we have achieved and advanced one step nearer the goal for which The Bee is aiming. But why is Mr. Austin coming to peg his hat at The Bee? Let him answer the question himself: “I have always had a warm spot in my heart for Omaha’s best known newspaper. Its aims are high. Its plans for making Omaha a Bigger and Better City are clear and well defined. The Bee is the kind of a newspaper that Omaha is proud of. It will be a keen pleasure to me to play a part in putting across the big things for Omaha that are on The Bee’s development program.” THE OMAHA BEE PUBLISHING CO. #
