Today A Three-Word. Speech* A Divorce for $1.50. Bow to This Ghost. Solid Brooklyn Eagle. By ARTHUR BRISBANE *--J John W. Davis means, to hold the short speech record, a wise, almost pious resolution. He will “accept” his nomination in only 4,000 words of talk. Great moderation and self-con trol, you say. Yet in 81 verses of the first, and two verses of the sec ond chjpters of Genesis, the Bible descril*s the creation of the earth and everything on it. And the whole thing, including the rest of the seventh day, is told in about 1,000 words. For brevity and beauty, candi dates, editors, and especially ad vertisement writers, should study the Bible, especially Genesis, Job, Isaiah, and the sermon on the mount. Any presidential candidate might make an acceptance speech, to 99 in 100, in three words, as follows: “Men above dollars.” Specialists in "Paris divorces may move to Moscow. There you get a divorce for $1.50 in five minutes if both parties agree—as they usually do in Paris. You don’t have to prove infidel ity or cruelty. Simply to agree is enough. Bolshevism gives you a divorce if you prove that your life partner is “exceedingly religious” or “too much addicted to religious superstition.” You can even get a divorce if your wife or husband is opposed to your politics. That is all new in divorce. Bolshevisrp, however, won’t go too far in making light of holy matrimony. No individual can get more than three divorces in one1 year, which recalls the department store adver tisement, “Only one to a custo mer.” ^ Mrs. Jack Gardiner of Boston, intelligent and rich, spent her life collecting fine works of art, stored in her “Venetian palace” in New England. Now, dying, she leaves all to the public “to be maintained as a public museum forever.” For that purpose she provides an income of $1,200,000. If her seven trustees disobey her wishes, every thing is to be sold and the money given to Harvard university to in crease professors’ salaries and maintain scholarships. Make a polite bow to the ghost of Mrs. Jack Gardiner, as it sails upward. She lived usefully and died intelligently. good chance for a conservative in vestment. Apply to Mr. Gunnison, Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn, N. Y., for information. ‘‘A strong 1,000,000-share mar ket,” was yesterday’s Wall street day of investing, speculating and gambling. You invest when you buy to keep, you speculate when you think you know what you are doing, you gamble when you play the fool. It was better than a 1,000,000 share market—actual sales, 1,200, 000 shares. Things are booming on .the stock market and on the farms. Whether because it ‘‘just happened,” or because powerful in siders are at work, things are going up. \ Farmers say it costs $1.15 to raise wheat. It sold yesterday at $1.28 for December. Corn sells well above a dollar a bushel. Men, not old, remember when farmers used corn for fuel because it was cheaper than coal—10 cents a bushel. If prices on farms and the stock exchange can be keep booming it will be a good thing for conserva tive candidates. The man making money isn’t much interested in complaints. In the case against bootlegging waiters at the Rits Carlton, New York, the “gentleman” that drank the stuff is fined $250. The waiter that sold it will be sent to prison, they say. Why? Which is more criminal, the rich man tempting the waiter with money or the waiter yielding to temptation. In the famous Garden of Eden case, everybody was punished. Adam, who was tempted, or said he was, left the Garden with Eve. And the snake, which played the part of “waiter,” was condemned to walk on his stomach in the dust, whereas he had previously gone along proudly on the tip of his tail. “Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat, all the days of thy life,” was the severe sen tence. In addifion, it was said that Eve’s children “shall bruise thy bead.” . And the snake could not hire alienists to prove that he was not responsible. (Copyright. 1924 ) TRAFFIC DELAYED BY DERAILMENT Peru, Neb.. July 23.—Traffic was ♦ led up all day and night Tuesday owing to derailment of several cars in a Burlington freight train south bound from Nebraska City to Bea trice. The train had just started out on Its run from Nebraska City when a steel tank car. loaded with 10,000 gal lons of gasoline Jumped the tracks, turned crossways and tore up ties and rails, derailing the following cars in the train. The damage will amount to several thousand dollars. Trains for the Beatrice and Tails City lines were held in Nebraska City and Peru until the tracks were clear ed and rebuilt. r: . _ i The old, solid and able Brook lyn Eagle is a good investment for anybody’s money. Five hundred shares of Brooklyn Eagle stock, (more later) can be bought at $180 a share. Why on earth Gunnison of the Eagle allows anybody else to get that stock with all the money he has, nobody knows. He's unselfish, that may explain it. Brooklyn, third city in the United States now, with more than 2.000. 000 inhabitants, will have 5.000. 000 persons within 20 years and will reach eventually from the East river to Montauk Point. And while Brooklyn stands, the solid old Eagle will stand. It is a Laundry Moves And Hot Plates Special Offer During July $1 Down Will Install One.

At the rental price of $70,000 a year, the F. W. Woolworth chain of 8 and 10-cent stores has leased the ground floor of the United States National Bank building at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. The lease, which will run for 50 years. Is said to establish a new high mark for downtown rentals In Omaha. To make room for fhe new store, remodeling that will cost $300,000 must be done. As a result of the new lease the Northrup-Jones Company and the New York Waist Shop must find new locations. In addition, the specs of the C. B. Brown Jewelry company will be reduced to 15 feet. Included In the remodeling which will be required. Is the removal of the huge vaults of the United States National Bank. The bank, it Is said, wfll acquire the Reed building, located between the United States National and the Omaha National bank buildings. With this arrangement, the entrances of the United States bank will be In the Reed building. The huge rental price was offered by Woolworth, it Is reported, when the Woolworth people discovered a rival chain was negotiating for the location. A deal was pending between the bank and the Kresge company, which operates a chain of stores in com petition to Woolworth, when the lat ter concern learned of the negotia tions and Immediately came forward with a higher bid. In addition to the store location, the Woolworth company Is leasing storage space In the basement of the Omaha National Bank. According to J. N. Monlan, man ager of the Woolworth store at Six teenth and Douglas streets, the Wool worth company will continue In the present location and operate the sec ond store as wrell.

' - 1 s Cub Mountain Lions Are Ppts of This Girl of Rocky Mountains y- j Washington, D. C., July 2J.—Cor nelia Bakker Is the daughter of Bob Bakker, champion "live lion" catcher of the Rocky mountains. They live on the western boundary of Olaeier National park where Bakker has cap tured 500 mountain lions In the last 20 years, thus earning the record of having done more than an army of big game hunters In protecting the deer of this vast game preserve, ac cording to the Bureau of National Parks. Cornelia makes pets of the cub mountain Hons that are some times included in her father’s catches. He trees and ropes the old Hons with a lariat. V The tragedy of It all la that Cor nelia has to part with her pets when they grow up and become ferocious. Her father then sells them to circuses and Cornelia cries at the parting. Then It Is up to dad to bring In an other litter of lion cubs for Cornelia to raise on the bottle.
