Nobody's figure tallied when f forts were made yesterday to accr t.iin how much alcohol C. 15. !t.hmi!t oi the Hikcll Manulaclur iK company had drawn out on hit 1 1 rmit during June, IV.'l. The arithmetic was cont'incd to those present at a hearing in the of f.ce of V. S. Rohrer, federal prohibi tion enforcement ollicer, wK-re .Schmidt's alcohol permit it in Jan ger of revocation. Report filed in Kohrer'i office for Jiiite show the company drew out 1,5'7.65 proof callous of alcohol. In Atik'int, when Kohrcr demand ed a report from Schmidt for June, the hitter turned in return which kulirer totaled up to 1,859.73 gal- Figures Challenged. David Fitch, attorney for the Hi kill company, challenged this figure, citcrday. lie added up the mm on a machine, arriving at a total of 1.5H0.45. "Rohrer and District Attorney Kiiulrr should revise their arithmc tio,H he remarked. Hut still another figure was forth coining. Returns from wholesale drug companies and distilling con cirnt which provided the alcohol to Schmidt total 1.801.H6 proof gallon. "How old is Ann?" will be a sim ple problem to the one Kohrer took under advisement, after the hearing, which developed several more com plications. One i the amount of bond under which .Schmidt withdrew alcohol. Part of the time the bond was $5,000 and part of the time, $15,000, the law permitting the withdrawal oi 2i& proof gallons for each $1,000. Attacks procedure. The hearing waxed hot .when At torney Fitch objected to the whole procedure on the ground that his client had not been served with a statement of fact, nor of the nature and extent of the injuiry, which goc back to 1920. before Kohrcr assumed office. "We've got a lot of things in our records you won't like to sec," an nounced Kohrer. "Trot 'e:n out!" returned Fitch. ,The Harmon company's hearing is set for this morning. Lambert H. Holcomb, the head of the Holcomb Food Chemical Pro ducts company, whose record show that 22 gallons of cinnamon extract and oil of cinnamon, had been sold durinji July and August, wag quizzed yesterday morning as to the uses of the extract. He explained that it was sold in the making of cinna mon rolls. ... , . The Holcomb case, winch headed the list of nine chemical companies to be investigated, was taken under Another Clash Over ; Light and Power Rates Looms in uty unincii A new clash over the electric light and power rates appears probably with a new ordinance to bet pre pared by City Commissioners H. li. Ziniman, D. B. Butler and John Hopkins, with Corporation- Counsel V. C. Lambert serving as a special committee appointed by the city council. ' " ,. The former ordinance on the light and power subject was known as "the Ure ordinance." It was repealed when the present committee was named. ' . , According to a statement received from Alton D. Adams of Boston, an expert employed by the city, had the Ure ordinance been in effect last vcar, ths revenues of, the Nebraska Power company would have in creased $307,321, this calculation be ing based on the actual kilowatt hours used during the year. The Ure ordinance was to have given lower rates to the small users of current and gas, according to, those who supported it at the time it was under consideration. ' . T have not seen Mr. Adanu state ment in detail, but any such tota s he claims is absurd," commented J. E. Davidson, vice president of the Nebraska Power company. More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J.

Dan Butler Stands Alone Against Monarch Garden City Commissioner D. .B. Butler in city council meeting yesterday morning opposed confirmation of the board of welfare's' recommendation that a dance hall permit be granted to LeRoy Broomfield to operate the Monarch cabaret at 107 South Four teenth street. A resolution offered " by Mayor Dahlman was adopted, Butler alone in the minority. "Oh, J.cfl gue.H Jdl wsi afire with tiuliuiain and cscitemmi and he gave Jack a great hug and re KHiuding Li even before he hud chance to climb out of hi ovtrcojt. "That's jit't, like a woman." he grumbled, pretending to be vexed. "Asking me to guess when it may be anything, from lemon pie for din ner or ink spilled on the carpet." Jill laughed delightedly. "Xo catastrophe, honey, but a ereat surprise. What do you think? The Van I'elts have akrd u. to din ner big doings, too, and we'll meet some w under iul people." And thus it came to pass tint Jack spent $''.'.50 on a new suit of dinner clothes and the thing that Jill deem ed neceseary to accompany them, and Jill was freshly accoutred in purple and fine linen at a cost of even more than this. The day after the Van Pelt soiree found them gaily breakfasting on toast and marmalade and coflct. "Xo eges this morning?'' asked Jack mildly. "Xope," said Jill saucily. "Too expensive after all the money c sprnt on the spread last night." They smiled at each other with understanding. "Gee" started Jill. "I should say so," agreed Jack. "It must be terrible to live that way, eh, honey?" "Positively dreadful," agreed Jill daintily buttering another shce of toast into which she sank her sharp white teeth with frank relish. "Think of those poor dear Van Telts." "You don't really think that butler beats them, do you?" asked Jack with a grin. "I wouldn't be surprised," said Jill. "He was terrible to me. He came and yanked my soup away before I had the chance to take three spoon fuls of it." Jack nodded. "He did some sleight-of-hand with my fish before I even got into it at all." "And did you see that black look he gave Mrs. Van Felt when she dawdled over the duck?" "Fierce, ch?" "And he pretended that poor dear Mr. Van Tclt was finished with his ice before he had eaten hardly any !( it at a'l and took it awiy from j him."

I caught hrr eyeing my powder ce and I'm sure she disapproved the scent I had." "Oh course, it's pretty nice to be a rich as the Van Pelts "Jill went on. "Hut well, honey, if we ever become as rich as they are" "You aid it. honey." Jack chuckled. "We will manage to get along without butlers or valels and things, won't we, dear?" "I should say so'. But, then, when we are as rich as the Van Pelts we will probably change our minds," she sighed at the ihouiiht, "We're in mi danger, Jill," said her huthand, "Why, Jack. I Jut know you'll have as much money as Mr Van IVIt some day, for you're f'tc times as smart and everything" lie silenced her with his l.i ss the whittle of the 8 IH echoed from the vicinity of the station.

Lvcty worker hkes to feci that lie represent, t hi boss, something more than a mere machine for turn ing out much work in a given time. Employers who have given thought to the matter realise that It means a lot to the employe to re ceive a kindly word from the "Old Man," or the "Man in the Private Office." If those who employ great num bers of men would go through their industries once in a while and give a smile and a pleaut word of rec ognition here and there to their men, even to those In the most humble jobs, there would be more and bet ter work done. An employer can bring a lot of i happiness to his men by this practice, i pio ijing it is done in genuine good 'M'ifit. ... The man who lias heen spoken to kindly or who has had a smile from the man at the top goes home with a better feeling in Ins heart for his employer. It is with real pleasure that he tells his Wile and daughter. He feels more interest in the bui nes, and that means he puts more interest and better work into his share of the production.
