The puniness of man and all his works was em phasized by the storm which swept Omaha and Coun cil Bluffs and portions of Nebraska last Friday night. Water, fire and wind all have their uses. The race could not live without them. Any of them in excess is destructive. In the present instance, it was too much water that caused the damage. Nor was it only the proverbial house built upon the sand that suffered. The rains descended and the floods came and burst into some of the strongest build ings, flooding cellars, invading the auditoriums of theaters, undermining street paving, carrying away frame buildings while men viewed the havoc, as powerless as babes to check it. City streets became raging torrents and the Crushing waters carried down dirt and sand, deposit ing them inches deep over car tracks, pavements and sidewalks. Motorists were stranded in their ears for hours in some instances, unable to go on and afraid to leave their cars. For hours the thunder roared and almost con tinuous lightning flashes illumined the drenched streets and landscape while here and there houses were struck by the flashing bolts. Through the dread scene the fire department struggled to answer many calls for help. Nor was this the worst, for the angry elements also demanded human sacrifice. A young mother and her three children were numbered among the dead in Council Bluffs while at Louisville 12 persons, funeral mourners, in one house were drowned. Within 24 hours nearly one-fourth of the average annual precipitation of 30 inches fell in Omaha. It is interesting to note that Omaha records an annual rainfall about half way between the lowest and the highest in the United States. Phoenix, Ariz., gets only 7.9 inches a year while Mobile, Ala., has 62 inches. BEAUTY AND PROFITS. Even the name, “Aquila Court,” has a beautiful sound, and the business building which it denomi nates, now being built on the block between Six teenth and Seventeenth on Howard street, will live up to the name. The architect’s pictures show something entirely new to Omaha in a business structure. The main edifice, four stories high, in the form of an L, faces Sixteenth street and Howard street. Behind this will be a long, two-story building. Between the two will be a garden, with old-fash ioned stone walks, tall Lombardy poplar trees and, in the center, a stream of water. The whole effect, with the arcades and balconies of the buildings, will be like a part of old Madrid or ancient Verona set dovyn in the heart of this young city of the bustling west. Omaha has many office structures of the sky scraper type that are the last word in beauty and convenience. None presents itself to the mind which can be criV.cised. On the other hand, there are a few apartment buildings which are not as beautiful as they might be—and many which are lovely. It is not too much to say that the charming ones pay the best interest on the investment, for in most people is an uncon scious attraction to the beautiful. Foreign cities like Paris, Berlin and Vienna have beauty commissions. A property owner must sub mit his building plans. If they don’t measure up to the sceme of beauty, he must change them. The law operates to his own advantage as well as to that of the city. Here, so far, we have certain districts where buildings of a certain type may not be erected, and others where there is a minimum of cost for resi dences. But if that minimum is spent, the owner may erect whatever may please his fancy regard less of how it will affect the appearanoe of the neighborhood. It might be well to take a further step forward in the interest of beautiful architec ture. THE SUITABLE SUIT. A certain Omaha business man dug up his Palm Beach suit and wore it all last week, the weather be ing palmbeaehy, so to speak. Whereupon his associates and friends laughed loud, long and frequently and did point the finger of scorn at him in the marketplace, crying, “Where did you get the suit?” and “Are you going balmy?” But the temerarious man only smiled and kept his own counsel or, if he spoke, pointed out to them that if anybody was “balmy,” they were, inasmuch «s he dressed in accord with the weather while they were slaves of custom and blindly obeyed the dictates of the tailors like driven sheep which follow a leader to the slaughter house. One of the most curious contradictions oE hu man nature is that men though continually seeking something new and different, deride anything that is different from the accepted narrow standard in 'Tet n man walk down the street in November, wearing a straw hat, and, for some unprohed reason, all the other men think themselves warranted in chuckling at him. If a man were to walk the street in December Without wcarijg a coat he would-be in grave danger "f Annually gentlemen gain great amusement and . | ink they serve their country and protect tb.-ir f Ire nes by breaking up the straw hats of other men who are bold enough to wear this style of dome covering after a certain fixed date. Women are not so narrow in standards of dress. lhey wear furs in summer and straw hats m win ter Mcn'shouId’dress according to the weather. But ""'xS'FK ^decree, 1 that rubbers should be worn daily from September 1 to June 1 they would Liindly comply with the edict. GERMANY STILL FEARED. Germany has given up passive resistance in the Ruhr. But from France came no news of rejoicing at this new “victory” over the hereditary foe across the Rhine. Instead, there is in the news reports only word that France wonders what Germany is contemplat ing next. Poincare and his whole government have apparently grown more nervous than they were while tKe battle of the Ruhr was on. It is the old fear, the long suspicion, child of the hatred that has existed from time immemorial be tween the two nations and which has sapped their blood in repeated wars. Baffled so far in making Germany pay for the damage done in an unprovoked war, France faces the future with enhanced fear because of its decreasing population and the in creasing population of Germany. There are those in France who believe that Ger many, even now, is preparing to strike a blow. This alarmist view is not altogether without facts to back it. J. M. Scammell, writing in The North American Review, quotes the Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce to the effect that Germany is going ahead with its aeronautical development despite the treaty and that Germany is building aircraft in Switzer land, Italy, Russia and possibly in Scandinavian countries. There are now in Germany seven commercial lines in operation. The same authority reports a great commercial and military aviation program in Russia under German supervision. Dutch, French, German and Italian planes are used. There are eight schools and four factories established. German ex perts and German pilots are employed. . The soviets, moreover, recently authorized 200 planes for the red army. In Italy alone 100 were recently pur chased. The full program calls for about 5,000. “Russia,” says Colonel Guillet of the Italian gen eral staff, “if she is to be associated with ^European country, will form a rapprochement with her neigh bor Germany.” Nothing could appear to be more reasonable. Co-operation is in the interest of both. They are close neighbors. Their enemies they have in common. Russia has resources, and Germany the technicians whom Russia needs. Russia has man man power but needs officers; while Germany has the leaders whom the former lacks. Germany can strike a swift blow; she is highly concentrated en ergy; Rupia lacks communications and is slow, but has staying power, which Germany has not. TUTANKHAMEN OUTDONE. Old King Tut, recently heralded abroad as such a very old soul seems as modern as a cake eater of today, as word comes from the American Museum of Natural History expedition that it has found 12 dinosaur skeletons in the great desert of Gobi, Asia. The dinosaurs lived and died some 8 or 10 mil lions years ago, says Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborne, a scientist of the expedition. It makes King Tut look like 30 centuries. , Scientists of the world are all agog because the expedition has established an important scientific fact over which they have been arguing for de cades. The argument was, “Did dinosaurs lay eggs and hatch them or were baby dinosaurs born alive?” The question was bitterly fought, and both sides supported their contentions with learned hypotheses and logical deductions. No sooner had the egg-layers prevailed and laid their antagonists by the heels than out would come a learned monograph which gave the advantage to the born-alivers. But now the argument is settled, for good and all, according to Dr. Osborne. For he has found and is bringing back no less than 25 dinosaur eggs, laid in three nests by three mamma dinosaurs, away back there, 8 or 10 million years ago. Alas for the expectations of the mammas! Some thing happened in that dim mesozoic era that brought death to the mothers and death to their unhatched offspring. Which was doubtless a great misfortune to them but accrued, after millions of years, to wondrous delight in the American Museum of Na tural History and intense interest among scientists everywhere. The eggs are described as “curious-looking, brick colored, elongated petrifactions, six inches long.” It seems strange that the dinosaur, which was 60 or 60 fee( long, laid such small eggs. The modern hen does much better. But there is no doubt about it. tor several of the eggs were broken and show the formation of embryo dinosaurs. Thus is the final blow given to the born-alivers and they are left without a leg to stand on. But there is a fly in the ointment, a false note in the paean of triumph, heralding the emergence of the expedition from the desert. For no five-toed horse was found! Ah, to find that hypothetical five-toed horse! What a thrill it would be! The scientists dream of it as golfers* dream of shooting a hole in one. Remains of three toed horses have been found, and of four-toed horses. But the scientists are not discouraged. They feel as Bure that they will yet discover this horse as St. Louis does of winning a pennant. What we can't understand is why the girl in the movies doesn’t send a messenger to the apartment of the Hindu prince to take back the money she owes him, instead of going there herself, thus making it necessary for the hero to tear up the apartment and kill the prince in order to straighten things out. “The $10,000 banknote is the largest made but there are only a few of them in circulation,” says an article. We thought so. Women used to pine away and die for unre quited love. Today with the aid of a pistol they let the man do the dying. No man has been found old enough to tell how old a man should be when he gives up golf. t Homespun Verse —Hy Omaha's Own Poet— Robert Worthington Davim FATHER.

Readers of The Morning Bee are invited to use this column freely for expression on matters of putillo interest. Is Tliere Any One Who Cares? Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee; Sergeant York, U. S. A.: How many people in this thought ful, yes, appreciating, population will remember the name? There was a time when his name was on every tongue; he was a hero, yes a hero, but in this case as in many others, it was only seen as a name. From the hills of Tennessee came this Sergeant York, a man who was destined by fate to become great; he was only human like the rest of us. but in his manly chest, a heart of gold; yes gold, and It had to be, to ac complish what he did, not for him self, for he was ready to make the sacrifice. There have been pictures painted and entitled, “Lest We Forget.’’ For get what? The war's horrors, of course, but where do men like York come in? forgotten; he is probably contented for as we have said, he owned the heart of a man. This In a real sense makes him ap pear greater in my estimation; many of the most silent and unseen people are great. Willing to work and re ceive nothing Sergeant York is still a hero who deserves to have his name written where all can see it. Baseball players, fighters and men of all descriptions are pictured as great men while Sergeant York, “God bless him," is, shall I say forgotten? I hope not. He is human, he enjoyed the bright days of youth, gre,w to manhood, and was willing to sacrifice it for those, by whom he is never mentioned. He might have been able to attain great heights hud he cared to, by staging in the light of the world, but he had faith in the world and thought itxwas, must I say, thankful. Yes he received a medal, a fine thing, but, “The gift without the giver is bare,” and since he has the heart of a man he has felt the mean ing of this "slogan.’’ In some later years if T carry out the plans I have In hand now, my footsteps shall seek the man who possesses this heart of a real man and 1 shall say, "In iny estimation you are great, yes far greater than if you had stayed in ihe light of the world and received the applause of hundreds of thousands; men like you are needed today rfut they stay in the corners of the world, because they realize in this way they are do ing their share far more than the so . ailed ’Sheik’ of today. Congratula tions, my boy, you will think the world has forgotten you; as the time flies by it will seem more so. but my bov, there Is one who cares AN ADMIRER OF A GENIUS. Short Studies. Irvington, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha lice: In spite of all up to-date notions to the contrary, I still hold fast to the following beliefs-. That notwithstanding the great number of divorces, the marriage in stitution will not entirely disappear. That Christian countries are not to be too much blamed for their bloody wars: savage nations are no better in this this respect than civilized nations. That If civilized people commit more crimes than barbarians, it is because they are subject to greater tempta tions. That the slightest aquaintance gives a man the right to surrender his seat to a lady anywhere. It Is not necessary that they shall have been introduced to one another. I holffc in spite of all opposition that it is not a breach of decorum to pick up an old woman along the highway, and allow her to ride in the car. 1 have had several heated argu ments over this question, but I s'dl stand pat. That to be a financial failure, special talents are not necessary; strict honesty and plain dealing are usually sufficient. I still have hopes that Christians will some day cease to make war upon each other, unless they have some apparent reason for doing so. If I am too optimistic on this point, it is because my hopes have para lyzed my judgment. I hold that any young married couple. If they will exercise the neces sary will power, can purchase a home first, and th<| automobile later on. Rut even If they do lose their social standing. It Is better to get a home first. Forty years ago my father told me the day was coming when farmers would cease to buy watches, and cantlron razors In the auction shops, lie was sincere, but he was mistaken That day may possibly come, but It certainlv has not arrived yet. E. O M l.\TOS1I. Speaking <>f Cottonwood. Council Bluffs—To tho Editor of Tile Omaha Bee: Quite a controversy over the cottonwood ha* been stirred up In your columns. If those who participate would consult the facts as revealed after years of experi mentation by forestry departments of various states, they would not have so much reason for disagreement one with another. I have Just returned from a trip with a'forestry specialist, and tho cottonwood was one of the varieties that claimed our attention. For every purpose the cottonwood Is not equal to pine, and we don't ex pect it to be, tiut use cottonwood lum ber for Interior construction after once It has been well seasoned, and you have something strong, durable und so hard that nails do not drive easily. It is a very light wood, a good advantage, for barn timbers sawed from It are all the nmro easily hoisted Into place. But use cotton wood for outside framing and It may warp and cause the builder some eni barassment. One has written that cottonwood would grow well only on flut. low land. But I can point to splendid spectments on high land ns well as low. However, on the lower land they grow faster. I have seen these trees flourishing In the open spaces all the way from Ohio to Nebraska, Their trunks are large enough to make the saw mill man quite happy Another of your debaters has com plained that cottonwood casts Its cot ton ngalnst newly painted buildings —and he dosn’t know whether or not the pistillate (female) can be told from the stnmlnate (male) In the nursery row. This knowledge Is not exactly neceswyy, for the tree planter may select Ills own stock for setting. l,<-t him mark his male tree, that which sheds no cotton. In the summer time, and then take cuttings from that one only. Select cuttings In January, or February, bury them In damp sand, and their ends will sear over lo con servo their sap. Then In tho spring put these cuttings Into tho ground, iilmut two buds pointing upward above the surface of the soli. Keep them cultivated. They will talo root and grow. Wo have Just measured young trees that came from cotton wood cuttings Inst spring, and the highest of*them were nine feet These were on upland soil. Take the cutting from the mate tree only and In after year , there will bo no blowing of tho cotton. Homo day (hero will bo n clop of trunk- for ilia saw mill, and If feneo posts Is the requirement, creosote them to boiling It In, and the posts will last about :'■■ years All Ibis lias beep an es stained by forestry departments after many years of experimentation. Cottonwoods are tiy tin clans' IcrlsUt of ills middlew t u. They must have been an Inspiration to the pio neer. They Btaml out in the open and defy the storms. They are the cheer ful tree. They roar their songs In thp face of the gale, or they laugh lightly in the quiet winds of moon light nights. We must plant cotton woods more than we do. Wo must be less relentless with our cutting and slashing of them. They grow where many another and less glorious tree falls. In the old days they had to shed their ileecy seeds to per petuate their race. Now that civil ization can grow a tree from the cut ting as well or better than It can from the seed, the pistillate or female could be eliminated. But let a few of them remain, for we like their summer snowing. G. R. H. Wants Circus Money Back. Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha Bee: The writer was very much impressed with the writeup in The Morning Omaha Bee on the bottom of the front page giving the Ringling circus a writeup about their thor ough ^nd efficient methods. How ever, your paper failed to make any mention of the fact that thousands of people paid good money to witness their performance last night, and after wading knee-high through a sea of mud to reach the main tent, and then standing inside of a very leaky canvas and getting thoroughly soaked, they were rewarded with absolutely no performance whatever, and had to leave without even get ting their money refunded. It is true snipe official walked around and announced that a per formance would be given, but In the same breath practically dared the people to stay at their own risk, and those of us who did stay at our own risk got still wettter for our efforts (and no performance). it seems the city council ought to take some kind of action to prevent an occurrence of this kind In the future by compelling these people to put up bonds so that when the citi zens paid their money to witness the performance, some provision should be made to reimburse them in case a performance Is not carried out. It is possible some provision has been made fen* refunding the purchase price of the tickets, especially the re serve section which most of the tickets were sold for. but the writer received no such notice either public ly or otherwise, and believes your paper should start some kind of agita tion to protect the pedp'o against a future repetition.

If, on the other hand, you have land you want to dftpose of, better not be in too much of a hurry. This is the substance of ad vice to be gleaned from recent re ports on changes In the real estate market In Nebraska. Some large agencies in the state are reporting sales at prices which more nearly ap proach those of 1919 and more ade quately represent the Intrinsic value of improved farm lands than any In the last three years Many sales of land in the period of depression have tieen railed forced, when they were in reality not so. The owner was merely in a panic and lost faith In the community and its future. But these sales, together with bona fide foreclosures, of which there were plenty, have assisted in making a slow market and prolonged the period of depression. The land may climb back to fair prices slowly, hut the process Is sure. Even considering the losses front poor prices on grain, land has been a better investment for many than stocks and bonds have proved.—York New Teller.

FEEDING YOUNG BIRD. Your column, "Mother Nature," re minds me of a scene I witnessed in bird life this summer. While stand ing in my rear porch I noticed a Jennie Wren gathering food, and near by a young bird, either a robin or flicker, spreading its wings as young birds do when being fed. The wren went over and fed it. two or three times, and then flew away. I I related the Incident to my next door neighbor and she said she had witnessed the same scene. Neither of us had ever seen a like incident and 1 have wondered if it was unusual. JOHN R. MANCHESTER, 119 Lincoln Boulevard, Omaha. Books of Today ■ ■— i Frank Slayton's body. In evening clothes, was found on the floor of his elegant home. He was shot to base of brain, at close range, and there was no evidence of a struggle. His wife, Bella, strikingly beautiful, had Just finished her toilet for the night, stepped into a hall and was forced against a wall by a person who pressed a chloroform-soaked cloth against her mouth. George Slayton, brother of the dead man, was dozing in the library on the floor below, near an open window, six feet from the ground. Dr. Gordon found an un signed note, bearing a strange or cryptic legend, near the body. George Slayton found a monocle on silken cord, caught in fringe of the library portieres. A police sergeant took from Mrs. Slayton's chiffonier drawer a .38 caliber pistol, with one cartridge dis charged, and being of the game cali ber as the missile that killed Slay ten. Who killed Frank Slayton? You will have to read Sidney Williams new murder mystery, "In the Tenth Moon," to learn all of the horrible details. It Is a satisfactory story for this kind of a yarn. Mr. Williams wrote "The Body in the Blue Room." ■the I’enn Publishing company. Dorothea Moore's verse is charm ing-even when it is free verse. This she demonstrates in "Sel vage," a neatly bound volume pul out by the Stratford eempany. In an ill-advised moment, however, she included a collection of epigrams, some of which have seen the light of day heretofore. In another moment, still more poorly advised, she included a group of short stories and sketches. These are, for the most part, banal. She even waxes romantic over the bene fits derived by an aged couple from their automob.le, after the manner of our most highly i>aid and most asinine publicists. One looks for a stunning reproduction of the latest sport model, with a list price, f .o. b. Detroit, appended. If there is anyth.ng out of which It is impossible to squeeze romance. It is sti automobile—salesmen and advertising enthusiasts to the con trary notwithstanding. The father who advised his son to hold onto what he had and to keep adding a little more as time goes on, probably had no thought that the boy would some day turn out to be a bootlegger—Shelton Clipper.

Young Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., has exploded the idea that the sons of rich men are no account. He Is a shining exception to the general rule. Several years ago Mr. Vander bilt made up his mind to make hip living without depending on the in come from the stocks and bonds which a provident ancestor had handed down to him. He entered the news paper business and became a re porter. His former employers declare he was a good reporter. He was given no favors which were withheld from the other men on the papers where he wqrked and he labored diligently anil intelligently. A few weeks ago he' launched a newspaper enterprise of his own, In Los Angeles. The Illustrated News of Los Angeles follow’s the general style of the Lon don journals. It is in magazine form, filled with pictures of current events, short comment on current affairs, good reviews of the best hooka, plays and musical enterprises. At the end of the 10th day the newspaper had a circulation of 130,000 copies daily, and it sells for one cent. Mr. Vanderbilt says in an editorial which he wrote in a hospital where he was hurried for an operation on the day the paper was launched that he hag but one desire: to serve the public well. He is one rich young man who hps de cided, evidently, that there is a place In the world for him: that because a man has millions and the possession of those millions usually vouchsafes to men of his class a life of ease, there is no reason to expect all men of that class to do nothing that is worth while. His relatives and some of his rich friends may frown on an ambition to work, but the mass of the people of this country, who really do work for a living whether thpy do it for love or through necessity will hbpe that Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., makes a success of a venture which, in the beginning, seems sure to bring it to him. They Judged Wisely. From the Fargo fN. D.) Dally Tribune. In the midst of athletic tourna ments. and just as football begins to attract the attention of followers of school sports, a local college live stock judging team wins honors In an im portant but less spectacufar form of intercollegiate contest. Three men representing the North Dakota Agricultural college repeated their successes of last year by plac ing high this week among the dairy Judging teams from 10 other states nt the Dairv Congress at Waterloo. Ia, The tearfl from this sta'e ranked above several states where live stock and dairy husbandry are the outstand ing farming systems. North Dakota's representatives were placed above teams representing the nation's great est dair5’ states. The result of the contest is a tribute to the members of the team, but also to the coaches from the dairy department at the col lege who prepared the men. Nizing up an animal has long been a practice among live stock men. In recent years the method has been sys tematized by specialists who have de i' . _i ' ~ Abe Martin I FfcR^MERIFF j *£WMe.

From the Sioux Falla Press. The traditional grain of salt thou! ! be called into play when the lat st r> port that Bavaria Is likely to s' from the German republic Is und> - consideration. As the thing is now explained, if Berlin gives in t - Prance's coercive measures, Bata will pull out. To be sure, the Bavarians never took kindly to imperial dynasty ‘ ’ the Hohenzolierns and have alwa;. chafed under what was really Pr sian hegemony no matter by wh ■ name it was called. Xe'ertheless • vision of Teutonic unity—a vision 1< nr pursued in all of the several German: states before Bismarck finally wr-V< I together the German empire—pi ve powerful enough to force them to swallow their dislike of Prussia. Today, when not only Teuton; unity but the very existence cf an autonomous Germany is in jeopar ’ it is hardly probable that Bavaria w;ll 'urn recreant to cherished ideals an '. like a rat deserting a sinking ship leave the rest of Germany to stan 1 :he gaff alone. To act In that manner does not jibe with the well-known Bavarian character whose leading feature is sturdy, honest loyalty—a loyalty which in the past made it tas ter them to be misled.
