Shaking Down the Ticker. A Good Offer. Two More Command ' ments. Beware, False Advisers. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Nothing is more disturbing than a little earthquake tremor. It is not so much what happens during the little shake, it’s your nervous ness wondering what’s coming next. They had their little earthquake in Wall street yesterday. Rail ways, steels, motors, oils shivered like calf's-foot jelly, and the coun try's stock exchanges went to bed expecting bad dreams. No one knows just what it means. And nobody knows the meaning of the various “explanations” written in Wall street lingo. But this is ac curate. Don’t gamble if you.j value sound sleep. Germany will offer 30,000.000, 000 gold marks, and. “security against war” if France will get out of. the Ruhr. “Mike,” said Mr. Field to Mr. Webber, i “I offered him $5,000 for his dog.” “But we ain’t got $5,000,” re plied “Mike.” “No,” said Mr. Field, “but ain't it a good offer?” The Church of England makes substitutes a duo-d£fcaloguc of the old Ten Commandments. The two new commandments are: Eleven: Love God with all thy heart. Twelve: Love thy neighbor as thyself. There is more than enough cut out of the old commandments to make room for the two new ones, and the cutting seems to have been done along lines of mod ern criticism. They have taken out “in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and rested the seventh day and hallowed it.” That’s a change in favor of mod ern theories on geology and evo lutions. They have also taken out “for I, the Lord thy God. am a jealous God and-visiting the sins of the lathers upon the children, even unto the third and fourth genera tions.” This agrees with the mod ern opinion that a supreme being, which is capable of regulating bil lions of suns, comets and nebulae planets through infinite, time and space would not feel jealous or punish innocent unborn children. Many old-fashioned people will resen* these changes. They re sented. not long ago, the uee of anaesthetics to make people un conscious in surgery. They said the I,ord wasted men J: a-Suffer and chloroform wS’ fntirffttfi# With H:3 plans. Scotch and English prntestants, for a long time, re jected quinine as an ungodly rem edy, because it was a Catholic dis covery, We gain wisdom slowly. : A girl 8 years old is found mur dered, the conditions horribly re volting. and a man suspected ia compelled by the police to sit for hours beside the child’s dead body. "If he knows anything, that ought to make him confess,” is the police theory. Not a sound theory yet. A man capable t>l committing the crime would be capable of looking at the body, unmoved, as the suspected man did yesterday. But wait a few days. Let the criminal’s superstitious fear of the : unknown work upon him. Give him ! plenty of indigestible food, let him dream of devils with sharp claws dragging him down. Then j show him the body and he may talk. The 14-year-old daughter of the president of the University of Mis souri, frightened by a man, iden tified as her assailant, a janitor of the college. That man, protest ing his innocence, was lynched by a mob surrounded by students, male and female, although it is not shown that any student actually took physical part in the lynching. The interesting part is that when the girl’s father begged the mob to obey the law, he was threatened. In his book on the mob, the late Professor Shaler of Harvard saya that a convention of clergymen, under the right condi tions, could be changed into a lynching crowd. North or south, east or west makes little difference. While one mob was busy at Co lumbia, Mo., another mob with difficulty was kept from a lynch ing in New York. Like Mrs. O’Grady, and the colonel’s lady, crowds are much the same under the same similar conditions. Stinnes has bought another newspaper. He is the millionaire Napoleon of Germany, fighting with money instead of men, fac tories instead of forts. He is wiser than Napoleon, who sup pressed newspapers, saying if he allowed them liberty his rule would not *ist 30 days. Stinnes says: *‘I will own th* newspapers and they will make my rule last longer.” The supreme court decides that, all ships, ours included, may sell liquor three miles off our coast. But no ship can bring liquor, even sealed in bond, into our ports. The solution may be a movable bar hoisted overboard by a der rick and left at a floating storage warehouse, three miles out by each ship arriving. Going out, the movable bar would be hoisted on deck again and all hands would proceed happy. A chance for in ventive genius to make a Irving. President Harding: Do you no tice the New York World’s eager ness to have you go in the world court? You remember that the World, in 1920, was not eager to have you elected. They applaud your talk in favor of the world court and push you toward it be cause they believe and know that it is another name for the league of natioiu. (Copyrltkt, 1IIJ.) 1 Living Room for Small Home Shown Here is s living room, planned as thf Ideal, for small homes. It is proving a popular exhibit at the Better Homes exposition being held at the Auditorium. Howell Discusses American Home irnntinued From Face Oee.y what he said by rearranging the fur niture which had been placed very attractively on the stage. The dif ference was evident. "There are too many useless pieces of furniture in the average nome. said Mr. Murray. "Never have your furni ture arranged so you have to wend your way around the house." Mr. Murray brought out that elec tric lamps arranged correctly add greatly to t*ie beauty of the home. Urges Simplicity in Dress. “No woman who is well dressed ever Attracts attention by the clothes she wears,” Miss Hanson told her au dience. “She should present a picture, all in all, and no one piece of her gar ment should stand out.” Miss Hsnsen caused much mirth when she sa d “God never intended elephants to be dressed like butter flies." She was then discussing the various types of dress. At that time she was showing some of the living models. "The Klapper Girl” was the center of attraction. The first living model picture was "The Sport Girl.” She was dressed in brght sport clothes. Other liv ing models were "Summer” and "Downtown.” * Miss Hansen explained the various kinds of color and what types should wear them. "I believe that the manu facturers who make negligees give them patterns to keep us awake in stead of furnishing us a color and pattern to induce rest," she said. "Red is passion and excitement. Tel low is sunshine. Blue stands for re serve and aloofness. Orange carries with it warmth. Oreen is restful and cooling. ■ Violet signifies distance.” Can Dress Cheaply. I Miss Hansen emphasized that cost f-does not make a thing good. She demonstrated this by announcing that a beautiful hat and gown creations worn by the ''Summer" model cost ; only $50. Here are some of Miss Hansen's dress tips: "Clean colors" should be wrorn in (he house. Stout women should not wear bright-colored sport clothes. Sport clothing Is abused more than any other garments. A touch or accent of black on a light or brilliant color is very attrac tive because of contrast. Women need a full length mirror by which to dress. Many of them dress in sections by collection instead of a ■ unit. 1 In dress size of wearer, color, ma terial, occasion and unity should be taken into consideration. Exhibits Are Ready. The 35 home furnishing exhibits were ready for inspection at the time Better Homes Shotv Unique in Fact That Nothing Being Sold In direct contrast to the usual building and home shows, there la no “button-holing" of prospective purchasers at the Better Home* ex position being held at the Audi torium this week. Absolutely nothing is sold from any exhibit or demonstration. No signs indicate which Omaha flrnj* furnished the various rooms that are on exhibition. "The purpose of this exposition is not to corral a large number of people Into one building in order lo sell them something,” said Edward Marshall, expert on interior deco rating. "The exposition is furnish ing a short college course to men i and women who really love a home 1 as it should be. We are here to , raise the standard of the present ! home.” the show opened. Model living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, a laundry, hall, and also a radio room were shown. The radio room furnished excellent music, received from nearby radio t sending stations. A well arranged law n greeted the ey* of one on entrance to the Audi- i torlum. From that time on until the exhibits were visited, it is one, splen- I dor of beautiful furniture and home furnishings, draperies and so forth. Different lectures will he given egch afternoon at 3 and evening at 8 Until the show end* Saturday night. The price of admission is 25 cents, war tax included. Following are the sponsors of the exposition: Orchard A Wilhelm company, Rur- I gegs Xash company, Beard Wall paper, company, Mlltnn Ungers A Son company, CortAldoua-Ifunt company, Hartman Furniture company. Eld ridge Importing company, Thoma* Kilpatrick company. The McGraw company, Mlokel Music house. Omaha Sanitary Supply ciur^gym, Thompson Belden company, U. ‘A. Ska ns com pany, and Union Outfitting company. These companies made it possible for th* wonderful exhibit of furnltur* and home furnishing*. "Th* exposition Is an unselfish at tempt to show how homes can be bettered and made attractive” said G. R. McDonald, representative of the American Homes bureau.

One of them de clared the day of kings and queens had passed and that labor would soon rule England. Others condemned the Mussolini government In Italy, which they said had been "established by outrage an dmaintained by repres aion." By Associated Press. Essen. May 1.—The observance of May day in the Ruhr was quiet, ac cording to reports received here, although large demonstrations were held in a number of the larger cities of the occupied area.

Indianapolis, May 1.—The Panama canal is the Achilles' heel of America. This is the observation of Alvin Owsley, national commander of the American Legion, who recently re turned from Panama, where he wit nessed the maneuvers of the. United States fleet in Panamanian waters. While making its seaboards com paratively safe with a strong navy nnd powerful coast defenses, the United States has left vulnerable the outstanding danger point In national defense—the Panama canal. The American Legion, through Its nation al legislative committee, will work for the better defense of the canal, he said. "We built at Panama the most powerful defense known when we ^completed the canal, but we have since had a world war," the legion commander stated. "Larger guns have been developed until we row have ships with guns more powerful than those of the canal defenses/ and we know other nations possess them. Hostile warships could shell the forti fied island that guards the Pacific entrance, steam close to shore and bombard the canal locks. "The canal is most vulnerable from the air,” Owsley' stated. "The fleet demonstrated conclusively in Us sham attack that the canal could not be successfully defended against aerial at tack. Attacking planes flew over the vital locks and could have bombed them at will. “The only way to fight airplanes la from the a If.” he continued, and lie advocated the establishment of air plane bases within the zone, with fighting planes and fighting pilots ready to take the air at a moment's warning in defense of the canal.” Making the air forces a separate branch of the service like the army and navy was utgcd bs Owsley.

If your home needs a coat or two of paint, DON’T PUT IT OFF, for if you do the cost later on will be many times the present cost of painting. Benjamin Moore PAINTS give you the maximum of surface protection. It spreads to an “even” coat and takes care of the expan sion and contraction without check ing or cracking. Before buying your paint get in touch with a Benjamin Moore Dealer. He will show' you paint economy. (Dealer*’ Name*) H. A.
