W. H. Westover, elected president of the District Judges association of Nebraska Tuesday at the meeting in the Hotel Fontenelle, is oldest of the 33 district judges in point of service, lie is in ills 3oth consecutive year on the bench. When he first took his place as district judge in northwestern Ne btaska, horse stealing and cattle rus tling were rampant. “Necktie par ties" were not infrequent when the thieves were caught. Judge West over put a, stop to the illegal hang ings and also to the thievery. He was born in Iowa and moved with his parents to n half-section farm two miles from Lincoln, Neb., in 1869. "In 1875 we had the finest looking ’’■in -I'H* JUU Mini. "At 4 one afternoon the grasshoppers went into the 160-acre field and the next morning there wasn't a leaf left." Soon after that the judge went to Ilutler county and taught school, boarding in a sod house. In the spring of ISSfi he arrived at Valentine which was then the end of the rail road. Leaving his wife there, he drove on west to Rushvllle, then a tent town, built a house and returned for his family. He has lived in Rushvllle ever since. • While In Omaha he called on Joy Hackler, whom he knew when Hack ler was deputy county treasurer of Keya Paha county at Spring view which was in the Judge’s district con sisting of five counties. GENE O’SULLIVAN has given up skating. He sits in his law office, like Achilles in his tent, and spurns the pleas of his friends to return to the ice where he gave brilliant promise of becoming a second Harry Kaskey. Gene was perfecting the feat of cutting his name with his skates. In gracefully curved letters he spelled it out. But, alas, not all! There was the apostrophe between the O and the S. He couldn't make that. “It seemed to prey on his mind, that apostrophe,” said Joe Lovely, his brother-in-law. "He puzzled and puzzled and it got to worrying him. "He was to have put on a sample of spelling his name at a carnival we're going to have in Syndicate park. John Hopkins and John Mor iarty are going to do some skiing and Jeff Southard will show some fancy coasting. “Gene would have been the big act. But, with his passion for i«er fection, he just couldn't do it. He imagined the vast crowd would Jeer at him and he would stand there on his skates, baffled, nonplussed and everything, powerless to write the apostrophe. "So he says lie's quit, lie's through From now on the Ico will see him no more. The little old apostrophe has driven a great skater from the ice.” Clothes Making Course Planned for Farm Vi omen Clarlnda, In..

Heat Wasted 1>\ Careless Firing Engineers Say Much Energy Rolls Out of Retelling Chimneys. Eliminate soot! That will take time, hut it Is j> s sible to make this no Idle dream in Omaha. One thing can he done at once, nnd that Is to minimize soot. The murky pall that cover* the city's business district could be lilted in a week if the interested persons, and that means virtually the whole body politic, would get their heads to gether on a solution of the problem. The coal men say: "Buy smokeless coal, or install the proper devices, or pay closer atten tion to stoking. It will cost no more in the long run and the smoke nuis ance can thus be abated.'' Much Heat, Power W asted. Engineers hold that a large degree of heat nnd power rolls out hi the volumes of carbonate* from the chimneys. Much f>f this, they de clare, can he conserved. Why not a school fur firemen? Stoking, in Its proper sense, calls for adequate training. The men who labor In the stokeholds of United States battleships are schooled by naval engineers. There is a mini mum of waste and maximum of ef ficiency. In time of war, when our battle craft enter dangerous waters, there Is very little smoke coming from the funnels to attract the enemy above or beneath the surface of the waves. New York's Solution. Nearly every city has combatted the smoke nuisance, ami some have solved It entirely. New York City did it some years ago by prohibiting the use of anything but anthracite coal. However, the metropolis Is adjacent to the hard coal fields of Pennsyl vania, so the smoke remedy was simple. The situation In Omaha il entirely different. The city con sumes the fuel of mines In the mid continental area—bituminous and semi-anthracite. Cincinnati has found that the small home owner Is one of the chief of fenders, In a recent report, Gordon IJ. Rowe, chief smoke inspector of that city, soys: "The ordinary home owner buys the cheapest furnace, and then buys the cheapest coal to burn In It. The result is that his coal bill Is nearly twice as much as It should be, that his chimney vomits dense black smoke for periods ranging from 10 AI»V KKTISKM F.NT, BEWARE THE Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble.

"The atmosphere of the city Is more or less Impregnated with smoke and soot all during the heating sea son, and the greater portion of It comes from residences and flat buildings.” The Chicago department of smoke prevention declares that "after sev eral years of experience the depart ment has found that the six minutes of dense smoke allowed by the city ordinance for cleaning fires or build ing neyv fires Is sufficient leeway for practically all plants." E. W. Fitt. city boiler Inspector, has under his supervision the en forcement of the anti-smoke ordi nance. The difficulties In enforcing this ordinance to the letter are all too apparent. The friendly coopera tion of property owners, particularly in the downtown district, Is abso lutely necessary. "We do noj prosecute any more,” Mr. Fitt wrote reeenjly In response to an Inquiry as to the smoke nuisance in Omaha, "having found force and police courts are not the means to achieve any results. We have sub stituted persuasion and explanation of the losses to the owners Instead though the fines still stand In the ordinance.” KANSAS CITY AND OMAHA IN BATTLE Omaha and Kansts City are stagirif their annual battle for second placf as livestock centers.

Teachers Told of Junior High N«‘w School Idea Not ‘"Sawed Off*’ From Regular High, Says Smith. “The Place of Extra Curricula Ac tlvltles In the Junior High School," was the subject of Leon O. Smith, Tuesday afternoon before the Junior High school section of the state teachers. Smith is ass stant superin tendent of Omaha schools. "The junior high school is an estab lished institution in modern educa tion," Smith said. “There was a time when it might he looked upon as an experiment in educational practice, but that day is long since past. Like all new Institutions, the Junior high school demands new organization, new outlooks and new practices. The chief difficulty in the way of making the Junior high school reach Its full measure of success lies in establish log the clear-cut junior high school idea in tlie minds of all concerned. Not “Sawed-Off’’ School. “The Idea too frequently is that the junior high school is merely a section of the old high school sawed off and nailed together with a strip similarli sawed off from the elementary school This conception spells failure in ad vance. There Is particularly a ten dency to copy the old high schooi ' plan with Its vices as well as Its vlr tues. "Naturally, the first reorganization of the junior high school was In the field of the curriculum, and much progress has been made along thi£ line. However, every junior hfrti school should make adequate pro vision for collateral activities in the fields of art, music, oratory, dramatic 1 art, athletics, social recreations anti community service. General student oi ganizations should be fostered and protected and the growth of healthful groups encouraged "In Omaha, in the administration of our schools. We are definitely commit ted lo the Junior high school Ides, but ut present we do not have a typical Junior high school in operation. It is necessary, therefore, for nie to draw upon the experience in other cities for what ideas may be extant in this discussion.” Smith followed with details of the operation of the Washington Junior High School at “Rochester, N. Y., and explained the scope of the “clul'S” at this and other junior high schools, stating that •■democracy Is the dis tinctive feature of junior high school clubs.” MAIL THIEVES ARE SOUGHT IN OMAHA Omaha postoffice Inspectors and po lice are searching the city for robbers who have been looting mall boxes In Nebraska and Iowa towns.
