Railroad Trafflo Increases With
the summer tourist business over for
the season, the railroads are not ex.
periencing any letup, so far as travel
is concerned. Instead, it is increasing.
For instance, during the period from
September T to 14 and after the hur
- rying home in anticipation of a strike
of the trainmen had passed, passenger
travel on the Union Faciflo was up
to last year and 36 per cent better than

Hog Sheds for the
Swine Show Ready
On the eve of the National swine
show, which will be held here at the
local yards,s October 2 to 7. the big
nc steel and concrete hog sheds will
soon be completed, according to an'
nouncement at the exchange building
yesterday. Oeneral Manager Buck
ineham of the vard9 company is con-
siderably elated over the compliment
given the- new sheds, when but
partly completed, by Assistant secre'
tary of Agriculture Carl Vrooman,
who recently paid the vards a visit.
Mr. Vrooman, it is the 'delight of
Buckingham to repeat, called the new
hog pens "hog parlors," in preference
to "hog pens, as they were re
ferred to in description. Last rivets
are now being driven in the steel
braces and it is expected that the en
tire job, involving an expendtiure of
$IUO,l)W, will be completed before
October I.
With the new three-deck sheds, the
capacity of the hog division has been
increased from 287 to 612 carloads
per day. This increase has made it
practically impossible for-the hog
division to be overcrowded or even
overworked during a rush period. The
sheds are so constructed that they
can De used at times as sheep barns.
This combination idea is the personal
thought of Mr. Buckingham. It is
estimated that the hog sneds have a
capacity that will outmeasure the
largest day's run of hugs yet recorded
in the history of the yards by 212
carloads. , .

FREIGHT RATES HURT
OMAHA'S BUSINESS
s
Flat Distance Scale Cripples
Local Jobbers' Power to
, ' Compete for Trade.
NEIGHBORS "TO BENEFIT
Omaha dry goods jobbers will pay
12 cents more in freight to get their
goods to the retailers of O'Neil, Neb.,
than will the Sioux City houses under
the flat distance scale of freight rates
to go into effect Octdber 25.
Omaha hardware jobbers will pay
10.2 cents per hundred, more to ship
their hardware to O'Neill merchants
than will the Sioux City jobbers.
Omaha grocery jobbers will have
to pay 7.2 cents per hundredweight-more
to get their goods to
O'Neill than will the Sioux City job
bers. In the above O'Neill is merelv
chosen as a representative point at
which Omaha and Sioux Citv wtll
meet in competition for business. The
discrimination holds in a greater or
less degree' all along the Northwest
ern line in northern Nebraska. I
Lincoln Has Advantage. '
.Xmco'ln has an advaMap nvr'
Omaha in competing for business at
Hastings, for example, on the Bur
lington of 7 cents Der hundred-weinht
on dry goods. .
Fremont on the Union Pacific line
has -an advantage over Omaha in
competing for business, for example,
at neutral Lity 01 o cents on ory
goods, 1.8 cents on hardware and
o of a cent on groceries.
Fremont, however,' has few large
jobbing houses handling these vari
ous commodities, so that the result
will be that Omaha houses will
probably establish branches there,
and-that Fremont will be made more
of a distributing point than it has
been in the past of these commodi
ties.
Lead on Kansas Jllfy.
Though Omaha jobbers, are some'
what lamenting these conditions they
are pleased to know that they beat
Kansas City in competition for south
ern Nebraska business by about 16
cents on dry goods, 13 cents on hard
ware and a- dime on eroceries.
- Similar advantage is in Omaha's
favor as against St. Joseph. These
cities formerly cut in heavily on
southern Nebraska business.

Policeman Guy Wright
' Enforces Old Ordinance
In spite of the fact that copies of
the city ordinance relating to ex
pectorating are conspicuously posted
in- all street cars, Patrolman Guy
Wright yesterday noon scored a
unique record by arresting Charles
Roseman for spitting on the floor of
a street car.
The ordinance has been in force
for many years, but old police offi
cials say 4hey cannot remember an
arrest ever being made for such an
offense, even during the "anti-spit"
crusade of a year ago.

UNIFORM OR NOT
FOR SCHOOL GIRLS
Discussion is Started as to
Whether Some High School
Girls Overdress.
BOARD MEMBER SAYS YES
Is there need of dress reform
among the girls of the tlrree public
high schools of Greater Omaha? Do
some of the daughters of well-to-do
parents embarrass other girls by
wearing up-to-the-minute and expen
sive clothes? Will the adoption of a
uniform solve the problem?
Uniform for high school' girlsl
That is what some of the School
board members are considering. The
same proposition is now before the
Board of Education 'of Kansas City,
Mo., and is a live issue in educational
circle. Uniforms for high school
atria lias hmiA in flm.li,
years ago. but at that time the school

years ago and will support it again.
Some of the High girls wear low

almost to the degree of immodesty,"

Board of Education.- The doctor re

views with alarm the tendency of
some high school girls to display
their wealth in the form of dollies in
the class rooms. He says this sit

am not ready to indorse the uniform
idea. -1 know that finishing schools

their attendants."

wiic snu we agree mat a little mure
modesty in dress would improve the

schools. I am considering the uni
form proposal."
Paint on Their Faces.
According to Principal Masters of
Central High school, the problem at
his school is more a matter ot tacial
decoration than of bodily adornment
"I believe there is room for dress
reform at our high school, although
my observations prompt me to state
that Omaha High school girls are
more sensible in the matter of dress
than other cities I have visited. Some
of our grrls, however, seem to think
that copious annhcatiohs of paint on
their face will add to their particular
types ot beauty, and it is our aim to
educate them away frorrt painting
their faces, while we encourage the
painting of landscapes and other
scenes on paper, stated Principal
Masters.
