Trend to Suburb Told by Speaker Omaha Realtor Gives Talk Before Members of Tri angle Club. Daniel Carey, realtor, notes a grow ing tendency among city workers to live In suburban districts.

The establishment of Industries In the outlying districts where vyorkers may have their homes within walking distance. Is becoming more and more a feature of the growth of Omaha, as It Is with other cities, the speaker said More Automobiles. Mr. Carey noted that the increas ing use of the automobile and the establishment of good roads Is an Important factor In stimulating a de sire for suburban homes. A business man can live 10 or 12 miles from hlg office or other place of buainess and cover the distance between home and business with a car. within the time that It requires many city dwellers to get downtown In a street car. he asserted. Values Increasing. "Suburban acreage is now In a period of spectacular Increase of val ues," Mr. Carey said. "I have In mind a tract of 30 acres near the corporate limits of Omaha. This tract was sold 10 years ago for $5,000- This year we paid $30,0000 for the 30 acre* which we platted Into half acres snd acres and sold for country home sites.

County Attorney Frank Northrup of Pottawattamie county this morn irg filed applications for 23 perma nent liquor injunctions against per sons who have been convicted in dis trict court on liquor charges or who have been indicted on such charges by a grand jury. Some of the injunctions asked will also be against the property of the persons named arid will enjoin them, if granted, from possessing liquor or in any way violating the prohibition laws on the property described. Those against whom injunctions are sought include Mr. and Mrs Dolly Thompson, 409 North Twelfth street; Cora Iteese, 1135 Avenue A: Jens Pfctersen, 407 South Twenty first street; C. N. Petersen, 8 Pearl street; Charles Wood, 2708 South Seventh street; Glenn Donnelley, 1005 South Main street; I.. J. Harms, Nor walk township; Carrie Grace, 114 South Tenth street; Sam I.orella and Menzi Lorella, 816 North Eighth street; William Rodenburg, 257 Har rlson street; Joe and Dominie Guido, 915 Avenue I; .1.

Stanforth. George Klndall. Frank Belt, Steve Menichettl, Wil liam Bryson. Charles McDowell and William Vlnant. This is the largest number of slmi lar indictments ever sought at one time by Mr. Northrup, and is in ac cordance, ho says, with his policy of seeking permanent injunctions against all persons convicted of vio lating liquor laws. It facilitates the work of the courts in the cases of second offenders, he declares, a six-month sentence for contempt of court being made pos sible immediately they are shown to have violated the injunction.

Modern Gallant Steals Maidens Picture From Studio Show Case 1023 Romeo (.ovete Portrait Rather Than Lock of Hair —But Look at Photo. When knighthood was in flower, beauty was an incentive to chivalry. But Monday night in Council Bluffs —don’t confuse W'ith-4ast night on the liack porch—heauty was an incentive to crime. The direct cause was an enlarged photograph of Mias Florence He worts, 3340 Avenue E, exhibited in an exterior show case of the Knieely photograph studio at Scott street and Broadway. Miss Rewerta was graduated last year from the Abraham Lincoln High school in Council Bluffs, and is em ployed at the L'nited States National bank In Omaha. The photograph was easy to look at. Some one, intrigued by the lady's smile, or perhapis it was the way her hair—or maybe it was the eyes—any way, someone pried open the show case and Tuesday morning the photo graph was gone. It was the only arti cle in the display case which had been disturbed. Which only goes to show that the thief had absolutely no idea of the eternal fitness of things. Everyone knows that the proper expression of yiortft.ce frteuteitg | extreme admiration for a comely young woman is to snip off a lock of her hair, when she isn't looking, a la Lord Byron, hut never, under any circumstances, to steal her pho tograph “I'm sure I don't know why any one should want it." said Miss Re werts Tuesday morning.

Tlie secretary's statement said that the American government "is not pro posing to baiter away its principles."
