Brake Incident Hosed by Mavor *«t _• J Heport of Chief of Volunteer Traffic Officers Clears Atmosphere. The incident of Dorothy Dahlman being charged 50 cents for automobile lnake Inspection, has been closed by her father. Major J. C. Dahlman, on receipt of a letter Saturday morning from Bert LeBron, captain of volun teer traffic officers. The mayor during city council meeting this week brought up the matter for Investigation, stating that lie wished to be informed whether the volunteer officers or garage men "ere making these charges. lie stated this daughter's ear was stop ped on I,e«venworth street and she was charged 50 cents for brake In Hpection. According to the mayor, T.eBron's letter makes no specific reference to tile case of Dorothy Dahlman, but gives details of the operations of the volunteer traffic squad. Few Summons leaned. "I wish you would note the few summons Issued," LeBron wrote. "We issue these summons only when necessary. When a party gets ‘hard boiled,’ and reuses to have his lights or other defects remedied and will give no good reason, we issue sum mons. There is no desire to cause any Inconvenience. We have in structed 20 garages how to properly adjust lights of all makes of cars and we have given them blue prints showing tlie correct angles of lights. "We also called these garage own ers in and got them together and established a fixed rate for the work. There is no charge for testing lights or brakes, hut when the light are tested and found out of focus, a charge of 50 cents Is made. The work is done by the garages and our officers have no interest whether the garages collect the money. Tall lights are 25 cents each and 30 cents if installed: headlights, 40 cents, and 50 cents it installed. "I think the public is familiar with the workings of our force and know that we have the backing of the city council, which we surely ought to have. They will appreciate our ef forts in making driving in Omaha a pleasure instead of a hazard.” Summaries Given. Mr. LeBron gave the following summaries of the operations of the squad cm the. three nights: April 3. Twenty-eighth and Leav enworth: Cars stopped, 148: tall lights repaired, 100; headlights re paired, 31; headlights adjusted, 66; arrests,-2: summons. 2.

Constipation produces disease, mis ery, inefficiency, premature old age, senility. Have your bowels moved today? II not, you are constipated. They should act at least twice daily to be healthy. They should be kept open to carry ofl the parts of food the body does not use, and which, if left in the body, become horrible and loathsome poisons which breed sickness and often fatal disease. Ii your bowels don’t move, they need help badly. Dr. Caldwell’s SYRUP PEPSIN The Family Laxative —gently opens the gates of clogged-up bowels and allows nature to restore a healthful condition. It is the prescription Dr. Caldwell used for years in his extensive practice and consists of a pleasing liquid combination of Egyptian senna, pepsin and aromatics.

Project and problems work at Pen tral High school, in room 130, under the supervision of Genevieve W. Clark, Is worthy of a place in a mu seum of history or in a section of the public library. The purpose of the work is to en able the young people to visualize the various periods of the world’s prog ress. Miss Clark explained. The work at Central high lias reached the stage where it was deem ed wise to name Miss Clark super visor. The students do the work be fore and after the regular school class periods and work about an hour a day at this activity on the days that they attend this room. The following four phases were worked out during this school year In the project and problem department: Life In medieval cities and manors; historical tableaux connected with the development of aristocracy; prog ress of industrial revolution; methods lot medieval sieges. Among the models of medieval sieges shown in this exhibit are the movable to\ver, catapult, ballista. mangonel, movable bullwark, batter ing ram and the vinea. Before begin ning any project, the group referred to at least five hooks on the sub ject to obtain correct Information. Their models are historically correct and the proportions carefully worked out. The court scene of Marie Antionette and Louis XVI Is a neat bit of work, showing Marie on her throne and Louis and two ladles ln-waltlng in the scene. The tiny costumes are correct as to designs and colors. The group on tills project worked many hours fashioning this to the last analysis of correctness. There is a medieval monastery worth viewing and there is a castle of central Europe. A coffee house of the lkth century is another project. The young people of the high school who have worked on these projects take a keen Interest in their achieve ments and Miss Clark Is enthush*sttc in directing her class in the project and problem work.

No Recourse for Creighton Men rrotrstn of Pair That They Were Not Members of Society in Vain. Robert M. Bell and James H. Carr were Informed Friday afternoon that they would not be reinstated in Creighton university, from which they were expelled Tuesday for alleged par ticipation in secret fraternity affairs. Bell appeared before the board ot trustees Thursday afternoon In an ef fort to secure reinstatement, and de nied that he was a member of Theta Nu Kpstlon, but admitted that he had taken part in the organization of an other secret order. He exonerated Carr of any participation in the latter fraternity. Both men are second year students. The decision of the trustees was an nounced in a letter to Beil from Father John F. McQ>rmlok, president of the university, which read: "Mr. Robert Bell: "It was the unanimous sense of the hoard that your statement of the case did not uncover any reason why the university should recede from the position taken in my for mer letter to you. "It will not take anything from the severity of this measure to say that we regret to have to maintain this stand. But in dealing with or ganizations of secret membership we feel convinced that our only re course is to drop the students con nected with them ns soon as the evidence available for us shows their connection with such organi zations as members or in any other way. "Since you spoke for Mr. Carr at the hearing, and since he may be looking for a reply through you, I must tell you the assertion that he is not a member does not alter the original findings against him, to the effect of being connected wllh the organization of the society. On his own admission he was present at at least one of the early meetings. Whether he subsequently became a member or not had nothing to do with the original charge and must therefore be regarded as irrele vant. ".Sincerely, "JOHN F. M'CORMICK.” Downtown Spring Cleanup \\ ill Be Started Tuesday Next Tuesday morning at 9, 50 mem bers of the Junior Chamber* of Com merce wil| meet in the city council chamber to begin a downtown spring c]eanup campaign under the direction of Health Commiaisoner A.
