Omaha Medics ' Stood Out in Coast Meet Nebraska has a scouting ointment for Its 75 to 56 defeat by California in the dual track meet at Berkeley last Saturday in the fact that the Bears have been intercollegiate cham pions two years and also were na tional collegiate title holders in 1922. With the exception that Johnny Merchant was not sporting Califor nia’s colors, the Bears presented vir tually the same team which won the national and intercollegiate meets. And the team was not weakened for the meet with Nebraska by the loss of Merchant, as his shoes were ca pably filled by Neufeldt, who tied with Becker, his teammate, in indi vidual scoring. Three years ago the Bears trounced Harry Gills’ Illinois squad, holders of the Western conference champion ship. The following year Bob Simp son's Missouri Tigers, boasting as a member of the team, Brutus Hamil ton, world’s decathalon champion, in vaded the coast and beat Occidental handily, but lust to the University of California. History Repeats. And so history repeated itself when the Cornhusker fell before the supe rior field work of the Sun Maid stat ers. As predicted, Nebraska cleaned up in track events and California In field. Lloyd's defeat in the 220 was some what of an upset. Cohen's victory ftjvcr his teammate, Slemmons, also was unexpected. In the hurdles Ne braska proved woefully weak. Two firsts and a second in these events would have put the meet on lee for : Nebraska, yet the best the Searlet timber toppers could do was to make two points out of a possible 18. The weight events went overwhelmingly in California's favor, 26 points to 1. Nebraska’s showing in tlie Jumps was not so bad. Turner's win over Muller ■ was sensational, as Muller won the high jump at the nutionul collegiate last year at 6 feet 2 Inches. Omaha Medics Stood Out. The Omaha Medics made a credit- , able showing by contributing 10 of | Nebraska's 5# points. Captain Allen won the mile without extending him- I self. Slemmons, lanky two-miler, was ; outsprinted at the finish and had to 1 be content with a second. Lear and j Kenner in the high and low hurdles. | respectively, proved the best bet for j l he Cornhuskers. each romping home with a third place. The excellent showing Nebraska made against California offsets the j Jay-hawk victory of March 24 at Kan las City. Omaha Bowlers • Get A. B.

BASEBALL, experts are picking pennant winners for this sea son. According to their skull fractured dope there are eight champs in each league. It isn't possible for any team to lose this year, if you believe dope that is being broiled up by powerful experts. Every outfit has million doliar infield and priceless pitching bunch. i Along about June all these ex- j perts will be picking butterflies out of their moth-bags. So many things ran happen to baseball teams inside of few weeks that anybody who lays odds on pennant futurity should have his hat examined for traces of Faster egg dye. When we say that Giants look like another winner, that doesn't mean they are going to blanket their field. There are other teams in this rare, and there will bo more competition this season than ever. But there is no team that looks better either on paper, gravel or grass. The Giants are too good And when you are over-confident that's when trouble pirks out your club for parking space. But McGraw is not cheeking up j his eggs before they are hatched.

Royce had gone away to the Michigan sanatorium where they spent part of every summer and would not be back until October. Claude and his mother gave all their attention to the war dispatcher. Day after day. through the first two weeks of August, the bewildering news trickled from the little towns out into the farming country. About the middle of the month came the story of the fall of the forts at Liege, battered at for nine days and finally reduced in a few hours by siege guns brought up from the rear —guns which evidently could destroy any fortifications that ever had been, or ever could be constructed. Even to these quiet wheat growing people, the siege guns before Liege were a menace; not to their safety or their goods, hut to their comfortable, es tablished way of thinking. They in Iroduoed the greater-than man force which afterward repeatedly brought, in to this war th*- effect of unfor seeable disaster, like tidal waves, earthquake* or the eruption <*f volca noes. On .the 23d came tlie news of the 1 •II of the forts at Namur; again giv ing warning that an unprecedented power of destruction had broken loose in the world. A few days later the story of the wiping out of the ancient and peaceful seat of learning at bou vain made it clear that this force was being directed toward Incredible ends. By this time. too. the papers were full of account* of the destruc tion of civilian populations s miething new. and certainly evil, was nt work among mankind. Nobody was ready with a name for It. None of the well worn words descriptive of human be navior seemed adequate. The epithets grouped about the name "AttUa" were 100 personal, too dramatic, too full of old, familiar human passion. One afternoon in the first week of September, Mrs. Wheeler was in the kitchen making cucumber pickles, when she heard Claude's car coming back from Frankfort. In a moment he entered, letting the. screen door slam behind him, and tTirew a bun die of mall on the table. "What do you think, Mother? The French have moved the seat of gov ernment to Bordeaux. Evidently they don't think they can hold Baris.'’ Airs. Win eler wiped tier pale, per spiring face with t lie hem of her apron and sat down in the nearest ehalr. ’’You mean that Bail* is not the capital of France any more? Can that lie true?’’ ‘'That’s what it looks like. Though the pa pel s say It's only a precaution ary measure.'’ She rose, "bet's go up to the map I don't remember exactly where Bor deaux Is. Mahnlley, you won't let my vinegar burn, will you?" Claude followed her to tile silting room, where her new map hung on the wall above the carpet lounge, i.•lining against the hack of u willow rocking ehalr, sho began to mofr her hand about over the brightly colored, shiny surface, murmuring. “Yen, there Is Bordeaux, so far to Die south; and there Is Paris. Claude, holiind her. looked over her shoulder. "Do you suppose they are going to hand their city over to the Germans, like a Christmas pres eat? I should think they'd burn It first, the way the Russians did Mas COW. They can do better than that now, they enn dynamite it!" "Don’t say such things.” Mrs. Wheeler dropped Into the deep willow chair, realising that site was very tired, now ttint she had left the stove and tho heat of the kitchen. She be gan to weakly wave the palm leaf fan before her face, “it's said to bo such a beautiful city. Perhaps th« Oermuna will spare It. as they did Brussels. They must lie sick of de struction by now. Get the encyolopi ilia and see wlmt it says. I’ve left toy glasses downstairs." Claude brought a volume from the liookcase and sat down on the lounge. Ho begun; "Paris, the capital city of Franco and the Department of the .Seine Shull I skip the history?" "No, Bead It all." He cleared ills throat and began again: "At Its first appearance In his tory. there WHS nothing to fill eshadow tin- important part which Parts w is to pluy in Europe and In the world, etc. Mrs Wheeler rocked anil fanned, forgetting the kitchen and the cumin hers as if they had never been. Hit fired body was resiing, and her mind. Which was never tired, was occupied with the account of early religious foundations under the Merovingian kings. Her eyes were always agree ably employed when they rested up on the sunburned neck and eatapuK shoulders of hir red headed son. Claude read faster and faster until he stopped with a gasp. “Mother, there are pages of kings! We'll read that some other time. 1 want to find out what it's like now, and whether it's going to have any more history." He ran his finger up and down the columns. "Here, this looks like busi ness. Defenses: Paris, in a recent Ger man account of the greatest fortresses of the. world, possesses three distinct rings of defenses"—here he broke off. "Now what do you think of that? A German account, and this is an English book! The world sim ply made a mistake about the Ger man’s all along. It s as if we invited a neiehlior over here and showed him our cattle and barns, and aft the time lie was planning how he would eome at night and club us in our beds." Mrs. Wheeler passed her hand over her brow. "Yet we have had so many German neighbors, and never one that wasn't kind and helpful "I know it. Everything Mrs. Er lich ever told me about Germany mode me wtnt to go there. And the people that sing all those beautiful songs about women and children went into Belgian villages and—" "Don'I. Claude!" his mother put out her hands as if to push Ids words back. "Head about the defences qt Paris; that's what we must think about now. I can't but believe, there is ona fort the Germans didn't put down in their book, and that it twill stand. We know Purls is a wicked city but there must Is- many God fearing people there, and God has preserved it all these year*. You saw in the paper how the Churches are full ail day of women praying." She leaned forward and smiled at him indulgently. "And you believe those prayers will accom plish nothing, son?" Claude squirmed, as he always did when hi* mother touched upon eertifln subjects. "Well, you see, I can't for get that the Germans are praying, too. And 1 guess they are Just nat urally more pious than the French. Taking up the book lie began once more; "In life low ground again, at tin- narrowest part of tlie grent loop of the Marne." etc. Claude and his mother had grown familiar with the name of that river and witli U>e idea of qts strategic Importance, before it began to stand out in black headlines a few days later.

Curb Is Sought u j on Hi^li Court: Congress Would Curtail Pow er of Supreme Judiciary to Set Aside Laws. Washington, April 10.—Progressive circles in congress seethed today with j renewed demands for a constitutional | amendment designed to curb the pres- ! ent unlimited power of the United : States supreme court to declare legislation unconstitutional by the barest of majorities. The latest decision, overthrowing the women's minimum wage law. fol lows closely on the heels of another famous decision declaring the child 1 labor law unconstitutional. In the j child labor case it was a 5 to 4 dect- j sion; In the minimum wage case it was 5 - to 3, and only the fact that Justice lands 1). Brandeis refrained from voting prevented it being an other 5 to 4 decision. Both these decisions have aroused congressional ire to a point where legislation to limit the court's powers is virtually certain of introduction In the next congress. ltorah Plans bill. 8enator William E.Borah,republican, of Idaho, said today that as soon as the next congress convenes he will Introduce a bill compelling a 7 to 2 vote by the court before it can de clare an act of congress unconstitu tional. Another plan, sponsored by Senator > T.a Follette, republican, of Wisconsin, would give congress the power to re- i enact laws by a two-thirds vote over an adverse decision by' the supreme court. This plan, necessitating a con stitutional amendment, would give congress the same power to override the supreme court as it now possesses in si tting aside a presidential veto. A third plan, proposed by Senator Fees, republican,' of Ohio, would re quire a two-thirds vote of the nine supreme court justices to make ef fective any decision holding an act of congr' sb unconstitutional. All three plans drew ardent supporters today as a result of the minimum wage decision. The movement was given additional impetus by "farm bloc" senators who looked upon the minimum wage decree as closing the door to price-fixing legislation. A half dozen bills to sta bilize wheat crop conditions by fixing minimum prices were pending when congress adjourned in March, and will be Introduced in the next session.

Washington, April 10.—Petitions asking for reconsideration of the re cent ruling requiring railroads t# se$l interchangeable mileage books at re duced rates were denied Tuesday by the Interstate Commerce commission. The Question I cannot answer THE nearest I can come to explain ing the ability to select tobacco is to say that it is an instinct—a certair % ability to tell by sight, or touch, or smell, what is fine tobacco and what is not. When I was a youth, employed in a cigar factory, I had this peculiar abil- , ity. My employer would not buy one pound of tobacco until I had passed judgment on it. And when,I became a cigar manufacturer it proved to be of inestimable value in securing the finest tobacco for La Palina. There are times when I feel that this instinct has temporarily deserted me. Sometimes when I am in Cuba I will refuse for several days to look at any tobacco rather than jeopardize the quality of La Palina by making a selec tion when I am uncertain of m\self. The methods employed in making La Palina are equally important. Men who have served this company for many years train and supervise each of our cigar-makers. Each one must know exactly how to combine the to baccos that produce the La Palina fla vor and how to arrange the leaf tips so that this flavor lasts as long as you smoke the cigar. Every member of this organization works for the satisfaction of La Palina smokers. Recause I know this to be true, I confidently say to you: If you will smoke one La Palina you will join the ranks of those who have made it the leading high-grade cigar in the United States. - CONGRESS CIGAR COM PAN A' \ Philadclph ia Major ..... nv Blunt ... 2 for 2.V Senator - - - 2 for 26c Magnolia .... ’5c Porfecto Grande, 3 for 50c Alto name roue other popular shapes and sites.
