Bad Auto Brakes Cause Trouble k w — ^ig Free Testing Campaign Opens in Omaha Monday. 'What is the question tha police Judge Is most likely to ask the mo torist who is brought before him fol lowing an accident? He is most likely sternly to in quire: "Were the brakes on this man's car in working condition?" If the answer is no, the judge is likely to pass a harsh judgment. And why shouldn't he?

Ilcnce the fr“e brake testing week which begins Monday with free test ing facilities in charge of experts between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets on Capitol avenue affords ali motorists an opportunity to know exactly the condition of their brakes. The motorist who has the tests made will drive on with a clear con science, because he has proved that his brakes are what they should be. And on his windshield will be a sticker, informing the world that he is a careful driver. The tests to be made here all next week, beginning each morfHng at tf and ending at 6, are Identical to those being made in other large cities of the country. It will only take 15 minutes, or less, to make each test. It la time well spent. |^oot and Mouth Ban Lifted in Southwest Washington, June 21.—The foot and mouth disease in California has been eradiraied almost rompletely.

' 0 as they can remember. York is also fond of flowers. One day last win ter Howard noticed York in the bank with a beautiful red rose on his coat lapel. The real estate man’s admiration for the posey led him into a conversa tion with York, in which he dis covered another whose tastes were similar to his own. Thereupon a great friendship was started. Since Howard's flowers have been in bloom he has brought some regu larly to Y’ork. Last Tuesday, how ever, was the first time he noticed the great variety of colors in his pansies. Pansy Fancier Gives “Posies” of 25 Shades to His Friend Cl’ZZLB—How many colors In pansies? You’d never think there are ?.i shades in that little hunch of posies which D. J Howard, real estate man. Sod South Fifty-eighth street, is hand ing to G. H. York, custodian of the lobby in Peters National bank. What's more, you'd never think J that all these shades could come from one square yard of a flower Barden, would you? But that's just what happened.

Federal Reserve Buys Laii(f Here Property at Seventeenth and Dodge—-Structure to Cost Half Million. Negotiation* were consummated Friday hy the Federal Reserve bank nf Kansas City whereby it acquired title to lot one. block HIS. located at Seventeenth and Dodge streets, where it will erect a building to house its branch bunk in Omaha. The building will he a three-story slone structure, ornate in design, and built expressly for the needs of the Omaha hank, in accordance wilh plans and speclfldntiun* drawn by Graham, Anderson, Probst K White, architects, of Chicago. The building when completed will represent a total expenditure of approximately $600,000. Present Space Inadequate The greatest need fur a new build ing arises fro;n the inadequacy of the present working quarters and limited vault space. The Omaha hank has for some time been obliged to obtain vault space In one of the city's larg est commercial banks. The federal rcserte branch hank at w omuha was established in September. 1917, in the building at Thirteenth nd Fa mam streets, which tt pur chased in May, 1920. At the begin ning the bank hud two officers anti 17 employes. It now has four officers and 107 employes. The increase in both the offlt ial and clerical staff is a reflection of increased volume. The peak of bills discounted since the establishment of the hank was 543.000,000: the amount held tn No vember, 1920. A proportionate in crease in volume In other depart ments of the hank are noteworthy. The transit department for example handles daily an average of 39,000 items cnmijnred with an average of 2,76k in 1917.
