To avoid trouble, keep your hands off three things, a man's money, family and religion. The bolshevik government, need ing money, and receiving com munist complaints of certain monks at Pechreski monastery, arrests 30 •of the monks and seizes their gold treasure of $40.0,000, hidden in the monastery belfries. In addition to the money the soviet government got 360 big diamonds, sacred images studded with gold, much gold and silver plate. From the soviet point of view, so far so good. But when the monks were sentenced to long terms at hard labor and put to work on the roads in their cassocks the peas ants, deeply religious, started kill ing communists and burned their buildings. To fight any religion is dangerous for any government. One of Napoleon’s first and wisest acts was to restore the status of the church and the salaries and dignities of the clergy,'saying that he also needed a spiritual gendar merie. All the world reads about the marvelous racing Finn. Nurmi. On Tuesday evening in New York he broke the two world’s indoor rec . ords. He’s an iron man. He ran ^ the mile in 4 minutes, 13 3-5 sec onds, cutting a second off the world's record. Then he ran 5,000 meters in 14 minutes, 44 3-5 sec onds, again breaking the world’s record. This mail has wonderful legs. _ But you can buy for a few hun dred dollars an automobile that will do for civilization a thousand times what Nurmi could do. Honor him, his legs, heart, lungs and courage; but honor still more highly such men as the late Stcin metz. A crippled hunchback, lie could not have run 5,000 meters in two hours. But his brain ran as well as Nurmi’s legs ran. If, by the way, Steinmetz came to tho United States today, a crippled Jewish boy, as he did 40 or 50 years ago, he would be sent home. Why doua the crowd pay to see fast legs ami care less for a think ing brain? Because the crowd can all run. Not all can think. Tf you want a string of pink pearls for your wife, or friend, ap ply to young Mr. I.eeds, son of the late Princes.* Anastasia. The pearls cost $340,000, not counting duty. Pearls have gone up, the price is a million dollars now. Forty-three beautiful pink pearls, somebody will get them. The poor lady who wore them, as the wife of the tin plate king, and then of a prince, brother of the Greek king, has gone. She has disappeared as completely as the various divers that brought them up. “going all naked to the hungry shark” in their pearl diving. So glory passes, and pearls re main. No sign of that “great 1925 drop in the stock market” yet. Stocks were up again yesterday, wheat up with them. And the in terest rate on call money of specu lation dropped to 214 per cent. The value of English money keeps going up. The pound was worth yesterday $4.7714,. almost its prewar value. Some European moneys are worth more than the American dol lar. But they haven’t so many dollars. That must be our consola tion. Germans, not allowed on French air line from Paris, have threat ened to shoot down French planes flying above Bavaria and Saxony— on the French air line, following from Paris to Bucharest and from Paris to Prague. The Germans won’t do it, of course, for two reasons. First, it is difficult to hit a swift machine in full flight. Second, Gel-many is at the mercy of France for the reason that Ger many has no flying machines, and therefore she might as well have no men. Her 65,000,000 of population would be utterly helpless against 100 Frenchmen up in the air. If one French machine were shot down over German soil a half dozen German cities would be destroyed the same day-. This country ought to learn some thing fr/m the helplessness of Ger many-. based entirely on the fact that she has no force in the air, al though she has millions of highly trained fighting men. Let us also remember that in the air Germany is no more helpless than the United States at this moment. Italian socialists and communists demand a revolution to get rid of Mussolini. The crisis there, what ever it is to be. is not far off. Italy would have had a revolution five or six years ago had not Mussolini taken charge, is the belief of some that understand such things. Something new in radio. Nor folk, V'a., tells of a man found wan dering unable to tell who he is. a victim of aphasia. His language is strange, no way of identifying him apparently. He will talk over the radio. Friends “listening in” may recognize the tone of his voice, claim him and help him. What else can you suggest for the radio to do? (Copyright. 1926.)

R. Phipps came to Omaha l\?M in ’17, the art of cobbling- was the same as that of any city. The awl, the iron last, the cob bier’s wax, the few sheets ot sole leather, the^cob bler’s hammer and his sharp paring knife “made up the inventory of his assets. % Today—51 shoe-making machines, the same as those used in only the foie most shoe manufacturing plants of the world, and 45 expert shoemakeis ate doing the cobbling for Phipps. Not a single hammer strikes the leathei, no? is the shoe stretched or pulled out ol shape by the faulty hand of ham cobblers. Every shoe is made new by Phipps. Every weak spot is replaced b\ new material. Every essence of style is returned. Every old appearance dis appears. when you send your old shoes to Phipps. Note the Features of Cobbling Only Phipps Can Give New welt?—new insoles—new toe linings— new vamp?, when the old ones are cracked — new toe box—new counters—new heel lin ing?—new latex inlay, which act as cushions for the sole, and make the ?ho"s w afcrprool— new’ custom steel arches— new full Ameri can oak soles—U.

Send your old shoes to Phipps to day—ami learn first hand the economy of master cobbling. Phipps caters to both city and out-state business. Parcel post orders are handled by a well organized department. \ Wherever you go else- j where in Omaha or else where in all America, the cobbler of old is un changed — he depends upon the old iron last, which fits neither the right nor left shoe, to absorb the shock of his hammer. i . * Ualf Soles An unsightly patch or a bit of untidy stitching is i the extent of his art— 1 and if you complain at this uncouth work, he reminds you that your > old shoes were wrecks when you gave them to ; him. thats all WOMEN’S SHOES RE-BUILT, $2.75 THE PAIR MEN’S SHOES RE-BUILT, $3 25 THE PAIR • * Th* phot. - -h"\vn below show the result* of Phipp- < obhliiur.
