Federal Official' Total of

Alcohol Withdrawals 1
Disputed By Attorney.
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.

Mulai llatid, before going to war, launches a rhymed curse on hi
enemies, thereby in many cane licking them before a shot is tired,
When Mulai Hand goes to war
No rife blaze their firry breath,
No bombing squadrons sweep before
To scare the enemy to death.
Hie guns are parked in their garage,
lit needs them not to voice his wrath;
Nor does he need a fierce barrage
To sweep ail army from his path.
Not he; he writes a rhyming curse
I'poit the hated foeman's head
And when the latter reads the verse
Invariably it knocks him dead.
We wonder often what he writes
This talented Moroccan bard,
What form of verse it is that smites
A well-armed enemy so hard.
What rhymes are these that men but read
When they are taken from the mail
A single time, and then proceed
To shudder and turn deadly pale?
If verse contains the power to lay
The instruments of war on shelves,
We think perhaps that we some day
May be a general ourselves.
And yet, although we've put our heart
In curses wrought with cunning rhyme,
And toiled upon this noble art
Of late in all our leisure time.
We cannot somehow catch the knack:
The folks to whom we send the stuff
Are prone too often to come back
And when they do, to get too rough
The thing has worried us a bit,
It's put a dent in our conceit,
Tr as we v'll. we must admit
That Mr. Hafid has us beatl

The best way to restrict immigration would be to ship all newly-landed

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."
"Mill, the butler wasn't bad as

milled and sceinrd to be ottended

Jill nodded brightly.
"The msid who fixed me up a bit
was just like that, too. 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

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
The Value of Encouragement.
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.
