Original Twist of Lafs Counts Hearlv anti Healthy Response to Joke Is No Longer Out of Form. Where to pee Loral Laf* today: Sun theater, Onmlia. Suburban theater, Omaha. I.othrop theater, Omaha. Crescent theater, Omaha. Simply to repeat a joke* that you have heard is to follow the easiest course. But to sit down and think up an original twist of humor is to gi\e yourself a start over the rest of the field. The Local Laf contest being conducted by The Omaha Bee on the screens of various movie thea ters is bringing out much humor. The old fashioned idea that a good hearty laugh is .1 sign of ill-breeding has been relegated to the scrap heap with the high wheeled bicycles and bustles. Folks like to laugh in these Modern times, ami everybody is proud of i sense of humor. Begin today to send in your lafs to the I/or-al Laf editor of The Omaha .< •' Make them original and limit " Hern to 30 words each. Send in as miinv as you wish. Each week a first I ri/.e of is offered for the best joke, second prize of $3, third of $2 , nd 12 additional prizes of $1 each. Home jokes do not get into the cash i * izc division and yet have merit. From this class the Local Laf editor selects three each day for this col umn.

Sherman, 6318 North Thirty-first avenue, seemed to enjoy it. For instead of crying, as she feared, he kept right on smiling until the picture was taken. Here is tne worms rirsi interview with a baby: For years scientists have sought to find the key to baby’s babblings and many have been t%e theories that have sought to account for those mys terious words, "da.” "ooh," wah,” ’’goo.” and "eeh, eeh." The solution of tills age-old mys tery was solved today at the better baby ellnlc, at the Brandeis store, by the language expert of The Omaha Bee and Miss Krederlcka Nash, Oma ha society girl, who says that babies are "just too wonderful for words.” The solution of the mystery a 11 came out at baby’s bath, while Miss Nash was fixing up 7 months-old Lloyd Sherman, getting him ready for the eilnlr.

I won't ait still un less I feel like it." "Yee. yee,” came from the tub, while there was a great splashing about, meaning "This young lady hasn't bathed many babies anyway: I can tell by the way she goes at it.” "Mah, nmh," accompanied by vig orous kicking with the bare feet, which, translated, means "Mother would have had rye all washed and dressed by this time.” "Da, da." resignedly thinking of the limes daddy had said "What's the use?" when mother Insisted upon her own way, meaning "I suppose I might as well stand for it; she ought as well practice on me. and she's being careful, anyway."

New York, May 7.— New York at torneys today were working on .1 unique case In which the disposition of a *:.nn ODd estate depends upon which of two men, who met death on opposite sides of the globe at a Ini' at ihe same hour, was the first to die. The estate is that of Captain Cole man of the San Francisco Vigilantes of Argonaut days. His heirs were a son. Robert Louis Coleman, San Francisco financier, and a grandson, William T. Coleman, of Monrovia. Cal. The son, with George R. Do Long, New York broker, was slain by high waymen in Albania, last April 6, while on a tour of the world. On that same date the grandson died at his home in California. How the $300,000 estate shall be divided and whether descendants of the son or grandson shall receive the major spare depends upon which of Ihe two died first. John F. Rowte, an attorney of this city, has been requested to learn the hour and minute when Robert Louis Coleman and his companion were slain on the Tirana Scutari highway in Albania, Cabled press dispatches, which thus far have been Mr. Bowie's only source of Information, plarcd the hour at 10 a. m. April 0, Albanian lime. William T. Coleman was re ported to have died at 1 a. m. April 6, San Francisco time. As there are nine hours difference between Albanian time and San Francisco time, It would appear from the news dispatches that the sun and grandson died at the same hour and that, disposition of the estate hinge* upon a determination of Ihe approximate minute of death. Mr. Bowie said, however, that the official records showed that William T. Cole man died at 3:30 a. m., which would indicate he surv.ved his uncle In Albania by 2 1-2 hours. Mr. Bowie has taken steps to establish communication with Amer ican news correspondents In Albania and with public officials of that country He eald ire probably would QUAKE DISTURBS CALIFORNIA TOWN Los Angeles.

Thousands Rush to Diamond Field Report* of Huge Finds Start Scramble to African Mines. .Tohannesburgh, May 7.—Scenes and atorlea reminiscent of the first diamond rushes are reported from Stomplea, where a large diamond field waa recently discovered. Ten thousand diggers have already arrived, it la stated, while hundreds more, including many blacks, are streaming in from all sides dally. The nearest town la 20 miles away, and everybody is living on the bare veld. Whole families are said to be stowed away In miscellaneous ve hicles, with sacking for roofing. Enteric trouble is said to be rife, the food conditions being deplorable, even water having to be bought from venders. A farmer arrived at the diggings to try his luck, but could only get s piece of waste ground no one else would have. After setting to work on the lot he discovered several atones, eventually sold his claim for more than 140,000 and went home. Another proapector almost went mad with Joy when he sold his dia monds for $45,000. Burgess Bedtime Stories _i By Thornton W. Burges*.

Jerry Muskrat continued to drift and drift along on an old log acfoss the water-covered Green Meadow*, lie rather missed Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse, who had been drift ing on that same log. They had been company at least. But lie was glad that they had found a safe place in the old fence post, lie had watched them swim to It, climb It and dis appear In the hole near the top. He knew that they had nothing to fear from enemies there. But it was rather lonesome out there drifting along by himself. He was anxious, too. There was no knowing where he might drift to. He felt sure that sooner or later he would rearh land, but It might be so far from the Laughing Brook and Smiling Pool that he would get lost trying to get back there when the water finally left the Green Meadows. He tvas so busy thing of his own troubles that he didn't notice another old log drifting not far away. Nearer and nearer the two logs drifted. At last they bumped gently. " Hello, Jerry Muskrat," said a voice. It startled Jerry so that he nearly fell off his log.

"Great Snakes!” exclaimed Jerry, rubbing both eyes. "Where did you come from." "That's a foolish question." replied the young Chuck. "You know well enough where I came from.” "Well, then, where are you going." Jerry asked. "That's just as foolish as the other question.” retorted the young Chuck. "How do I know? Where are you going yourself?” Jerry grinned. "I wish I knew," said he. "Yes, sir, I wish I knew." "Isn't it dreadful? I didn't suppose there was so much water in all the Great World," chattered the young Chuck. "It is a wonder I wasn't drowned right in my own home. I've been drifting around on this old log all day. If ever I get on dry land again I'll make a home where the water cannot reach me, no matter how big a flood we have.
