Shrine Head for Boys’ Week Move J Imperial Potentate Showered With Roses at Reception Preceding Address. Support of Omaha business men for the coming Omaha Boys’ week was urged Thursday night by Conrad V . Dykeman of New York, Imperial po tentate of the Mystice Shrine, in a talk to Iwtween 3,000 and 4.000 Shrin ers at the Masonic temple. Nineteenth and Douglas streets. A rose battle, in which the imperial Vitentate was showered with rose buds, featured the reception, which pre ceded his address. Support of the Boys’ week program, the speaker said, is demanded by good business logic, ir for no other reason. Many Not Beached ‘In every large city.” Dykeman' said, ‘‘there are many boys who are not reached by the Y. M. C. A„ the Boy Scouts, or other welfare move ments. These are the boys who sell papers, shine shoes and live on the street. They grow up without rare or consideration. They receive no atten tion from anyone but their parents, and in most cases learn nothing good from them. When they grow up, they become gunmen, thieves In a small "'•y. pollticisna and a drag on the community. ‘ You meet them later at the bar i>f Justice and In the penitentiary. The money you wilt be forced to spend In the future to pay for their keep and detention will be much more than you would spend now to give the boys a chance.” Distant Shrines Represented Shriners from all parts of the coun try attended the reception which pre ceded the talk. Representatives were present from temples at Butte, Mont.; New Yojk City, Rochester, N. Y.: Chicago, Sioux City, Des Moines and Ros Angeles. Mr. Dykeman paid tribute to the late President Warren G. Harding, who was a member of the Shrine. Accompanied by a delegation of Shriners from Denver, the Imperial potentate left Thursday night for that city, where he will speak tonight. Mrs. C. G.

W HNhinitnn ( orre»|M>mlent The Omilm Her. Washington, March 14.—With the Norbeck farm relief bill dead, the McNary Haugen export corporation bill promises to be the next relief 'measure to come before the senate. Numerous amendments are ready for introduction when the bill comes up for consideration. One of the notice able features in the vote on the Nor beck bill today was the fact thaf'the same southern democrats who had hailed certain insurgent republicans as "regular fellows" when the in surgents were playing their, game, turned a deaf ear to insurgent en treaties for farm relief. The few western democrats who did vote for the bill were augmented by Ralston of Indiana and Copeland of New York, two democratic possibilities for the presidential nomination. Senator Howell talked for half an hour today in favor of his amendment to the bill which would force the gov ernment to retain ownership of the cattle purchased under terms of the bill until all payments were com pleted. Such an amendment, he de clared, would wipe out law suits in case of default payments and would Iw extending credit to farmer* with out credit in the only wav * business institution would do it. Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Montana, democrat, supported the Howell amendment. He asserted It was the only business like way to handle such a loan. He also pointed to the fact that similar tactics in handling cattle loans to farmer* without credit were l>eing pursued by Montana bankers The Howell amendment, like all others, was killed.
