Amusement Question Up.
Atlantic City, N. J, May 20 A
spirited discussion over the question
of Sunday amusements enlivened to
day's session of the general assembly
of the I'rcsbyteriau church, it came
when the recommendations of the
Sabbath observance committee were
being considered.
James DeWitt Andrews of New
York started the discussion when he
said :
"These resolutions condemn with
out exception all forms of sports on
the Sabbath, We must determine
what sports we expect to exclude. A
hundred years ago men would have
disapproved of Sunday trains. To
day they arc considered a necessity.
J Joes the general assembly of 1916
want to stand on record as disapprov
ing all sorts of Sunday games?
"In the old Scotch-Irish church golf
playing wa forbidden during the
church service on the Sabbath. Hut
they played golf later in the day.
"Today there are many young men
who have no opportunity to recuper
ate their health except on the Sab
bath," Mr. Andrews continued, "and
ordinary rest is not enough, I know
you arc against it, but the prohibition
of all games or sports is not a thing
to advance our cause at this time,"
The report of the committee was
adopted.

there has been a total net loss during

Many Omaha Women Would Be
Clowns in Circus Here This Week
That individual who prattled that
there's nothing new under the sun
should hark to the following tale a
tale in which the advocates of the
saying, "a woman can do anything a
man can do," should have just cause
to ring up another bull's eye for the
fair sex.
Also. Omaha will give Kurope. that
war-torn continent, where women are
reported to be engaged in every occu
pation, a new angle to conjure with.
Didja ever hear of a woman circus
clown? ,
There are nearly a half hundred
women in Omaha who want to enter
the clown profession, according to
the congenial and effervescent press
agent ol the At G. Barnes Wild Ani
mal circus, which will show in this
city May 26 and 27.
A few days ago J. F. Richardson,
general press agent of the circus, in
serted a want ad in The Bee asking
for applicants for the position of
woman clown. A day after the ad
appeared in The Bee it began to look
like clowning was as desirable a pro
tesnion as acting for the movies,
Mr. Richardson has received over
fifty applications from Omaha women
who would like to cavort about the
realm of the sawdust ring in chalk
tae and outlandish costume.
They came from women and gills
employed in many different vocations
at the present liine Clerks, stenog
rapher, waitresses, models, nurses,
housemaid", cooks, in fact, from
nearly all lines of endeavor followed
by women came re'iursls to be given
the job.
The oldest woman applying for the
clown position is 52 years, the young
est 15 years,
Many-sided and humorous (though
not intended to be), were the letters
from the would be clownesses.
One woman wrote that she had
been trying to amuse her husband
forthe last ten years and that as he
was as sour-fared a person as there
was in the world, she ought to lie able
to make a circus audience shake its
sidej with laughter.
Another married applicant airl she
had had lot of experience in slap
slick workat the expense of her
spouse,
One of the most promising looking
would-be clownesses to date is Fer
bital La Dreye, 2)11 Douglas street,
She is enthusiastic over the outlook
of a life in the world of the "big top"

and believes she can make any num
ber of the masculine gloom-chasers
spec.) up a little to keep up with her.
l-'ernita appears as though she might
make the going rough for any clown
who attempted to hog the spotlight
of the big show. "I'd like to be
clown: I don't see why the role
wouldn't be a big hit. A woman can
do anvthing a man can do. If they
give tiic the chance I'll 'knock 'em
dead." , ,
The premier of the '"one and only
woman clown in all the wide, wide
world" (the way the press agent de
scribes it), will be made at first or
second performance of the circus in
Omaha.
WAS PIONEER BUSINESS MAN
John C, Drexel, city commissioner
and pioneer resident of Omaha, died
at bis home, 2526 South Tenth street,
about 11 o'clock Saturday night after
illness of just one week.
A week ago Friday he took a bath
shortly after his dinner and was soon
confined to his bed, as no relief could
be offered. He bad been having a
little trouble a short time before and
made a trip to Excelsior Springs.

on a tract of land in South Omaha
known as the Drexel homestead. The

the site of Mr. Drexel's early home, a
log habitation built by his father,
Fred Drexel.
His early business experience was
gained with his father, who was a
stone contractor. Mr. Drexel served
six years as county coroner, from
1885 to 1891, having been appointed to
fill an unexpired term and elected
twice. He served ofie term as sheriff
and was nominated for a second term.
He was identified with the democratic
party.
With M. O. Maul he succeeded
John G. Jacob in the undertaking
business at 1417 Farnam and later
was associated with Robert Rosen
7.weig in the shoe business at 1419
Farnam street. At the time of his
death he was vice president of the
shoe company bearing his name.
He is survived by a wife and two
sons; John, jr., is with the Drexel
Shoe company and Herbert, IH-year-old
son, is a student at the Western
Military academv. He was summoned
home when his father's condition sm
ptonoiiin ed critical. Mr. Drexel's
father died twenty-two years ago.

In a lottery for a set of the
Encyclopaedia
Britannica
sasaSBasaMsssasasassama
-and LOST!
George Washington was a thrifty and forehanded man;
he died, it is said, the richest man in the new world
Americals first millionaire.
He had a weakness for getting things cheap; and like a large number ol
people in his day, he often played the lotteries. One adventure he records
laconically in his diary under date of Oct. 14, 1788 (three months before he
was chosen the first President of the new Republic):
"By profit and losss. in two chances in raffling for encyclopaedia
Britannica, which I did not win, 14." '
This great work, already famous, was deeply coveted in Washington's day.
And such rafflings were many. The custom still prevails.
A few weeks at?o. at a charitv fair in New York City, a set of the new Eleventh
Edition of the Britannica was offered in a raffle and 1800 tickets were sold.
The sum of $450 was realized from the sale of a single set of this work. It is
doubtful if any other setof new booksin any language could bring such a sum.
The people of today are as eager to own this famous work as in Washing
ton's time, as is evidenced by the fact that more than 70,000 people have
already paid more than $16,000,000 for the new Eleventh Edition.
The reason is clear enough. In Washington's day, as in our own, the
Encyclopaedia Britannica represented the finest digest of the world's knowl
edge which could be obtained.
It is this fact which has made it for 148 years the standard in the English
language, and incomparably the greatest work of reference in any language.
