MAYOR TO CLOSE
DETENTION HOME
IF NOT IMPROVED
Sith Says the Home Is for
Criminals and Not
for Unfortunate
... Children.
The Good Samaritan
Visiting Nurse Association Tag Day Today.
The Board of Public Welfare held
a meeting yesterday afternoon.
which the new member, ' Judge
Howard Kennedy, was present.
Mayor Smith was also present. The
time of the board was largely taken
, up by a discussion of the city's deten
tion home, brought forth by the re
pprt of a case handled by the board
The woman in the case, a soldier'
wife, had been placed in the detention
home when found afflicted with a so
cial disease. She has a baby recently
. born, afflicted with the same disease.
The baby was placed in the county
hospital and the mothre in the deten
tion home. The mother told the we!
fare board! she had run away from
the detention home to find her baby,
but was caught and thrown in the city
jaw, wnere she slept all, night on the
bare" floor, after whcibshe was taken
back to the detention home. She is
very anxious to have her baby. ;
"There is a misconception on the
part of the health dfficials." said
Mayor Smith, "as to the purpose of
ine detention home, and unless there
is a change made in the way such
cases as this are handled, the home
will be discontinued. The home is
for criminals, not unfortunates. There
has been no charge lodged against
this woman and she is not accused as
a criminal, yet she is treated like one
I have a number of affidavits now on
my desk as to treatment received at
the detention home by unfortuantes
tnat make my blood boil. : This is on
ly one of many cases." .
Dr. Jennie Callfas defended the ac
tions of those in ehartre of th 4fn.
tion home, and branded as false the
assertions or tnose who ten such tales
as some the mayor Quoted. She as
serted sbe had called unexpectedly a
numDcr oi nmes at tne nome and al
ways found things above reproach.
The board decided it had no juris
diction in the case of the . soldier's
. wife. " !i t ...,,.'
, The board adopted a new rule pro-
Yiumg mat in me iuiurc sessions snail
be held in secret and all matters that
are to come before the board must be
submitted in writing. It is estimated
that much time will be saved by this
procedure.

Workmen Coming Out of "
Financial Diffiqulties
Lincoln, Sept 3. (Special.) A
statement cent to the state auditor
from the American Order of United
Workmen of Nebraska shows that
that organization is coming out from
under its financial load in good shape.
At the time the Omaha and Fremont
lodges asked for transfer to the Iowa
jurisdiction and their application was
denied by the state insurance board,
the Nebraska jurisdiction was heavily
incumbered. In denying the applica
tion the board gave as the reason
that it believed that if the jurisdiction
remained intact that it would be able
to pay out. ,
The report coming in today shows
that July 1, 1917, it had death claims
approved and , unapproved of $300,500
and that op to August this had been
added to until the claims had reached
the total sum of $635,500. However,
these claims have been paid off as
fast as the funds would permit until
during the same period $558,000 of
the amount had been paid, leaving
but $95,500 of an unpaid balance.
The cash balance in the treasury is
shown to be $6,465.03 and beneficiary
fund investments, $44,463.06 leaving a
deficit Aug. 29. 1918, of $44,571.91.
The average age of death since May
1, 1917, is given as 60 years.

Please Do Not Ask
For the Time of Day
On September 1, we discontinued answering requests for the
"time of day' This was done because it is imperative now that
all non-essential practices be eliminated to conserve labor and
equipment
When a subscriber lifts his telephone receiver and asks:
"What is the correct time, please?" It requires as much of the
operator's time and an equal use of the telephone equipment as
would be needed to complete an ordinary telephone call.
In Omaha alone 21,000 requests for the time are made daily.
The answering of such requests requires considerable use of
equipment, as well as the time of operators.
The supply of transportation, labor, raw material and equip
ment is only sufficient to meet the present demands of the govern
ment and of industries either directly or indirectly connected with ,
the prosecution of the war. It is therefore becoming more and
more necessary to reduce non-essential services of every kind.
The telephone service is necessarily affected by the general
condition of the labor and material market, and the less essential
uses of the telephone must be restricted.
War conditions have greatly increased the demands for
necessary service, which makes it imperative that telephone facili
ties be conserved in every possible way. ' ' ' 4

Just a word about stocks in Omaha. Wholesalers and manufacturers have now on hand
large stocks of fall and winter goods. If it is possible to secure merchandise you can get it
in Omaha, and one advantage in buying from local houses is that the goods you want can ba
delivered quickly, no waiting and less danger of long delay in transit It is the logical thing,
to do during these times; yes, it is the wise thing to do when transportation is so congested.
Buy in Omaha.

affected all over with rheumatism and
suffered fearful pain from it,

had rendered her unable to look after
her household affairs. She never slept
well and was unable, much of the
time, to get about the house. ;
