anight s Coat Tails Tugged * , by Lady Astor Sets House of Commons Into Peals of Laughter by Ef forts to Halt Flow of Speech. By AiMrlitnl Press. London, June 30.—Lady Astor, tug ging at the coat tails of Sir Fred erick George Banbury, in a vain effort to induce jhlm to stop speaking so that she and her liquor bill might have the right of way, sent the house of commons into peals of laughter last evening in which the grave speaker was obliged to join. The opportunity of finishing the final stages of her measuie had arisen and Lady Astor was hoping that the house could get to it if only she could placate Sir Frederick, who is a sworn opponent of her bill. As the time approached for con sideration of her measure Lady Astor took a seat on the step at Sir Fred erick’s feet. He, however, was well warmed up to the debate on the-agri cultural credits bill and paid no atten tion to the pleadings she addressed to him. Lady Astor finally tugged at his coat tails trying to force him to sit down^ while the house laughed heartily. At last Banbury stopped. There were five minutes left for the consi deration of the liquor bill and great was Lady Astor's discomfiture when Sir Frederick immediately began mov ing amendments to it. Uttering groans of impatience and exclamations of A dismay, her ladyship made a desper " ate and futile attempt to move clos ure. When the time limit expired, with Banbury still talking and pas sage of^the bill relegnted to some fu ' ture time, the laughter burst forth anew. Then Lady Astor rose from her seat, shook her fist at the enemy and, hastening toward him, gave him a re sentful punch, half in fun and half in petulance, while the members shouted with mirth. The bill was not lost as the gov ernment has promised to grant fa cilities for its eventual passage. 8 of Crew of Foundered Ship Die in Terrible Agony By Universal R^rvlrf. London.

Omaha America s Only Traveling Curio Shop Spends Few Days in Omaha Downtown passersby were attracted by a house-like body, to which coins, photos, skins, license plates, and other curios were affixed, mounted on - a Ford chassis that stood parked at various places along the business streets, last week. "America's only traveling curiosity shop" has gone 235,000 miles, or nine and a half times around the world, by land, railroad and steamship, and hfls worn out four Ford chassis. Though started originally for pleasure, the project has become a business. The interior of the cabin-shaped body is equipped with a complete camping outfit. Expenses ares made by selling souvenir cards and filming educational pictures of nature and current events. Exhibit Filins. The party includes S. Cramer and wife of Philadelphia; Thomas Cooney, cameraman, and Georges Sykes, me chanic. They carry with them three reels of their educational film to show free to various schools, orphanages and penal institutions along the rcute. Walla Walla, Wash, was the last prison at which they showed their wares. ‘‘I have 430 feet of undeveloped film that we took of a whale fight. The fellow that gets that is going to pay $25,000 for it,” declared Cramer. Bound for South. The travelers landed at San Fran cisco five weeks ago after a three months’ tour of the orient. They in tend to work their way to New Or leans and from there sail to South America, touring through the south ern continent to Cape Horn and then returning to New York. They may attempt Europe next spring. To date the adventurers have sold 17,000 feet of their lilms and just recently have released 10,000 feet more. The wanderers left town Thursday morning. Pinto to Put Powder on Poor Pot Popular Pet, Particular Pal of “Peaches” in City Hall, Probably Predestined to Pass Out. This is the simple story of a bold, had cockroach that inhabits the city health department at the city hall. Now as everyone knows, a cock roach is a blattid orthopterous insect, with a yellow band on the prothorax. Moreover, every cockroach which is in good health is voracious, not to say omnivorous. But no ordinary cockroach is this one which is engaged in light house keeping at the health department. For this one not only has made friends with employes of the depart ment, but has gained such standing that he can devour their lunches without being molested. Roars l.iUe a IJnn. The health officials have named him Pat. They declare he is sev eral years old, that he is so large he shoves waste baskets aside if they happen to be in his line of march and that when angered he roars like a lion. Pat is a peculiar favorite of Or. F. A. Sedlacek, assistant health commissioner. Or. Sedlacek insists the cockroach answers to the name of Pat and comes forth from his domicile whenever he is called. Girls In the department assert Pat often cornea forth when he isn't called. Pat’s Popularity. Here is an incident to demonstrate Pat’s great popularity, especially with the girls. He recently became wedged in the neck of a bottle of milk which one of the girls had pur chased for her luncheon. Instead of chastising Pat. the girl rescued him, and actually refused to drink the milk herself, probably feeling it would be wrong to rob Pat. But now the villain enters the story, in the form of Dr. A. S. Pinto, health commissioner. Dr. Pinto discovered the existence of Pat yesterday, and ruled that the hug must die. The em| ves protested violently, arguing that after all Put never entirely de voured their lunches and declaring that, after more than a year of his company he would be terribly missed. Later In the day, however, Dr. Pinto is rumored to have purchased some insect powder, and Pat’s friends fear Ms minutes are numbered.

City permits do not include the hundreds of modest homes built by families pioneering in the many addi tions marketed in lots and acres out side the corporate limits. All are a a part of Omaha's home growing life and belong exclusively to the home owning class.
