In plare Of the regular Christmas pro
gram In each of the tnirteen uierary so-
letles of the hlh school, these organiza
tions united Friday afternoon In two large,
open programs In the big study rooms of
ths school building. Tickets were Issued to
society members and their friends, and
were required for admission. Attractive
program cards printed in the school colors
were slso provided. The sestlng capacity
of the large rooms was taxed to the utmost
by hundreds of students and visitors, many
being forced to stand. Beautiful society
pennants and flags were effectively used
s decorations.
rrlnclpal Waterhouae presided tn room
No. Ki, and the program opened with an
oration by Helen Wright, representing the
Latin society. She delivered a humorous
philippic against Cicero, who was blamed
for the Imagined misery of high school
Latin students. The Margaret Fuller so-
lety wss represented by Jasmine Bher-
taden, who rendered a difficult recitation,

darkey dialect.
The Demosthenlan and Webate.r Debating
societies crossed swords In a debate on
the question. "Resolved, that Japanese im
migration should be restrained by the tame
laws as Chinese Immigration." The argu
ments on each side were good. Will Ross
of the Webster society speaking for ths af
firmative and Fred Carlson of the Demos-
thenlsns defending the negativs. The
judges awarded their decision to the af
firmative, although many students in ths
audience favored ths other speaker.
The last number 6n the program In room
304 was a very commendable original poem
on imagination by Elsie Bolln. When 'she
wss Introduced her sister members of the
Browning society rose in a body and dls
played their colors arranged in bunches of
Small old rose and white ribbon on canes.
The other program In room 204 waa pre
sided over by Assistant Principal Woolery
and began with a chorus from the Elaine
society, which sang several original songs
about school, written .by Irene Langdon
and Eorantha McGavoc. Jessie Barnes
plsyed the plsno accompaniments, and the
girls who ssng were Marie Hardeman
Dora Johnson, Korantha McGavoc, Blanche
Bellla, Christine Paulsen, Lillian Taller
uphus, Irene Grant, Helen Harper and
Marguerite Grant, Miss Haxel Bmlth as
slated In draining ths chorus.
Ths Ciceronian society wss represented by
Mark Ssvldge, who delivered an oration
entitled "The Advancement; of Our Era.
Marjorle Beckett ably represented the
Frances Wlllard society with a recitation.
The Swan Song."
Ths girls' chorus of ths German so-
clety, which hsd been trained by Miss

Baum."

program was by Mary McCague, who read
an amualng original poem, "Uncle Remus
Hant Story." Perl Janney of the Llnliignr
Travel club read an Interesting assay on
travel, and the program was concluded b;
another song by the Elaine chorus.
GRANT BEATS OUT BARBER
Oannha, Fnv!n- Contractor Bids Way
Under Eatlraatea of Asphalt
Trast.
When the bids for paving In several dls
trlcts of Omaha were read at the city
council meeting last Tuesday night some
surprise was occasioned at ths bids of
John Grant. For the last flvs. or six years
Mr. Grsnt has been striving to Introduce
a bltullthlo pavement into umana, Dut
the charter has been so changed ha was
unable to have his pavement considered,
Mr. Grant has now decided to enter the
ssphalt paving field again and as he Is the
only Omaha paring contractor who h
dared to stand out against the Barber
Asphalt company, considerable Interest
attaches to his bids which were from 16 to
20 cents lower than ths asphalt bids of any
other contractor. Mr. Grant claims his
bid Is tS cents lower than ths others be
cause they add an additional 10 cents for
coping.
In many of the paving districts In ths
resident sections of Omsha, brick ts be
coming the most popular pavement, being
cheaper .than asphalt under ths old prices.
Since Mr. Grsnt has come in with his bid
S cents cheaper than ths others there is
considerable talk, of having aU tha pave
ments Installed with asphalt.
Ths asphalt pavement on Douglas street
has been In placs for over twenty-six years
and for nearly ths sams length of time on
many other down town streets. This pave
ment Is becoming so rotten and honey
combed that It la almost useless to repair
It farther and an effort has been made
from time to time to havs all ths entire
central portion of Omaha repaved. This can
only bs dons by petitions signed by the
property owners. Ths city council agreed
sometime ago to, secure these petitions that
this pavement might bs replaced early In
the spring, but up to data no move Is ap
parent. It Is claimed the property owners
all express a willingness to hsve the new
pavement, but when the petitions are cir
culated it Is said to be a different propo
sition, as few signers ran bs had.
Repeated efforts have been mads to have
ths charter so changed that the city en
gineer or council may order theaa pave
ments replaced as soon as their usefulness
has pssaed, but these efforts havs failed.
Mr. Orsnt ssys lis has put in low price
by which he can do tha work and still
make a living profit and that Is all be
wants. Ths new price for asphalt aver
ages about II a yard. v

GREAT VALUE CF ATHLETICS
Millions of Money fared Annanlly
by Keeplna; Workers In
Good Health.
At the annual convention of the Ama
teur Athletlc'unlon In New Tork City some
amaxlng statistics were published, show
ing the enormous growth of sthlctlcs In
America. According to the registration
committee's list, during the year no less
than 2.441. BiS Individuals engaged in ath
letics of some form or other, and this waa
exclusive of swimmers, wrestlers, boxers,
bssket-ball plsyers, base ball playcra and
gmnasts. ,
This roll of nearly 2.5on,ono athletes does
not Include millions of workers, who are
slso kecdntt- themselves In sound physical
-,,,,. fl),ini,, various honorable
...
Professions or trades
The interest, there-
fore, in athletics In Amerlcs IS even more
widespread than committee reports on
physical culture Indicate.
Light, common sense exercises which do
not overfatigue a man or woman, what
ever his or her age may be, generally serve
to keep each one who practices them In
good physical condition.
It Is .deplorable how many individuals
are tn a low state of health, due to their
own carelessness. The amount of wealth
lost to the community through sickness
that could have been avoided, and conse
quent inability to work, Is enormous. Sta
tistics on this point ara lacking in this
country, but at the international health ex
hibition In London some years sgo. Sir
James Paget mado the following signifi
cant statement:
"I think that we cannot escape from
the reasons to believe that we lose In Eng
land and Wales every year In consequence
of sickness 20,000,000 weeks' work; or, say,
as much work as 20,000,000 healthy peopln,
would do In a week. This Is equal to
about one-fortieth part of the work done
In each year by ths whole population be
tween fifteen and sixty-five years old."
Commenting on this loss of service and
reckoning It In terms of dollars and centa
as applied to the United States, a writer
estimated that the amount lost annually
from what should be the nation's wealth
would amount to over (200,000,000. The pe
cuniary value of athletics to a country Is
therefore obvious.
Proper exercise of the muscles Is essen
tial for necessary physical endeavors and
also for Intellectual employments. The
habit of earnest mechanical work which
lsa form of athletics in often conducive
to superior mental and intellectual work.
An eminent lecturer, who had risen from
the ranks of labor, once told an audience
at a mechanics' Institute that a good work
man In ths materials of life would. If he
had the talent, bo a good Workmen In the
materials of the mind; and thus It waa
they found that the most remarkable men
who had risen from the lower ranks of so
ciety, had not risen from those who had ab
stained from work, but from those who
had been the most Industrious, the most
active, and the most Intelligent In their
mechanical occupations. Boston Globo.
