Schreiber, superintendent of the Public Welfare board, in an official communication to the National Board of Censors of Motion Pictures. Continuing, he wrote: "However, this is a new and delicate question and under no circumstance should the life of a child be allowed to pass away without a committee of thoroughly competent physicians acting upon the case. From the many terribly de formed cripples seen on the streets and in public places, with but a re semblance of the human and none of the intellect, cared for by devoted parents, or in institutions all of this thoroughly convinces me in my opinion. The elimination of the un fit must come about by an educational propaganda, but whether the photo play will present these truths in a lair and convincing manner, I am not prepared to say." Omaha social workers are heine asked for their opinions ofithe advis ability of killing "unfits" at birth; also of the presentation of this subject in motion pictures for general distribu tion. Omaha is being asked for its opinion of the wisdom of exploiting this theme in motion pictures. Auto Dealers Have Decided to Move To a New Location Omaha auto dealers at a meeting held at noon decided upon a new location for auto row. Ihey will try to move it to Howard street between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets. This move was brought about because of increasing rents along Farnam street. The committee which has been working up a new location reported favorably on the new site and the dealers are going out at once to try to secure contracts for the land, much of which is owned by the Kountze interests, the dealers ex pect to build their own buildings and thus stop paying rent. Some had already arranged to move off Farnam street.

Town of Five Hundred Springs Up in Ten Days The station of Parkerton, on the Northwestern's line into Wyoming, has been opened, with an agent, ex press and baggageman and an opera tor. Thirty days ago Parkerton was only a siding, but now it is a town of nearly SOU, the greater portion of this growth having occurred during the last ten days. Parkerton is five and one-half miles west of Glenrock, and its sudden coming into existence is due to the fact that oil has been struck, not only in the vicinity, but right on the town site. It is in the center of an oil field six miles long and three miles wide. In the last ten days seven pro ducing well have been brought in, all within four miles of the town. At this time sixty wells are being sunk in the field.

Passenger train No. 103, leaving Kansas City at 8:45 o'clock Thursday morning and due here at 4:45 Thurs day afternoon, and freight train No. 164, southbound, came together head-on at Wolcott, a passing siding fifteen miles this side of Kansas City, at about 9:30 o'clock Thursday morn ing. No one was seriously injured, but a good many of the passengers were considerably shaken up. The passenger train reached Omaha three hours late. Sam Geinsburg, traveling salesman for a Chicago shoe house, tells the following story of the meeting of the trains: 'The passenger was moving along at about twenty-five miles per hour and as we approached Wolcott there was a shock, a sudden stop and the passengers in the car in which I was sitting found themselves sprawl ing about the floor. Some sustained slight bruises, but none was seriously injured. Investigating, we discovered that at Wolcott there were three freight trains standing, all going south. Two were on the siding and one out on the main line. The con ductor of the freight on the main line had sent a flagman ahead, but the smoke from the engines was so dense that he was completely obscured. Not seeing the flagman, the engineer of our train ran head-on into the engine of the train on the main line. Both engines were pretty badly wrecked, that constituting the most of the dam age. None of the passengers was se riously injured and none of them was from Omaha, so far as I could learn. In jumping, Engineer Ridgeway sus tained a broken leg and Fireman Clark a number of bruises. Both were of the passenger train." Man Found Dead In Bear of Saloon "Oh, let him alone. You ought to know that joe never wakes up when ' you want him to."

' Xloch took Koslba'i advice and al lowed Pyzdek to stay where he was. A few hours later, at 8 o'clock, Mrs. Kloch looked at the prostrate man' and noticed that his face was blue. Further investigation revealed that he was dead. The coroner will investi gate the case. Police information shows that Pyz dek was drinking heavily Thanksgiv ing day and attended a dance later in the evening. ' It is their belief tha' after the dance Pyzdek tried to get.' into tne saloon by way of the reat door and fell down the hatchway. Mr. and Mrs. Kloch say that the mai. was alive at 6:30 o'clock Friday morn ing when they first tried to awaken him and when Kosiba urged them to "let him alone."
