14 THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1921. Checking Over I. Q. Contest of Bee Is Big Job Some of Answrri More Comi cal Than Instructive- An. nouncr mtnt of Winner To Be Made Soon. Only about half through checking I nd here it it two nionlhs tince the "I. Q." doted. It icemi at though every one who turned in a que ttonaire discovered a different way to nitrate the answer to every question. There's no end to the variety, and most of them correct at that. It's some Job if the quettionalre editor had realized how many people were goin to send in answers and how many different answers could be found to each question, he wouldn't have done it. Every time 1,000 questionnaires are checked 1UO.000.UA) answers have to be read, re-read, and studied to make sure that no possible mistake is made in declaring them nun or wrong. Avalanche of Answers. , Librarians at the public libraries in Omaha and elsewhere throughout the state warned us that we could expect an avalanche of answers and they were right. Day after day persons stood in line at the library reference rooms patiently waiting their turn at tne many tomes which might contain the information they sought. And now the "I. Q." editor has to "stand in line." wondering where in the world they discovered some of those complicated, erudite answers. It isn't all brief at that. Some of the questionaires' would keep a trav eling monologist stocked with jokes for a year. One man, who could not placa John Hancock, insists that Henry Ford must have invented the dollar watch because it takes so much winding. "Bryan Greatest Humorist." And" lots of the girls refuse to rec ognize a spectrum unless they are allowed to see pink and lavender in it One fellow who "answered the questions off hand because they were so easy," answers question No 65, "What is a caisson?" "A game of cards." ' One can be almost certain of the politics of the elderly gentleman who lists W. J. Bryan as America's greatest - humorist, in answering No. 57. Some More Good Ones. And yow can imagine the disgusted look on the face of the party who writes "Nobody, it was here," in answer to number 47, "Who dis covered the law of gravitation?" Paul Revere would turn over i his grave could he know that he was "A headless rider." A bright young miss describes harmony as "A color that is used in, sweaters and athletic suits." But this one takes the brown derby. (66) "What is a shoemaker's last?" "Where, the army is almost defeated and doesn't have no food or cloth ing." May Finish This Month. It might seem that with such a galaxy of unusual answers it would be possible to eliminate a large num ber of questionaires and just judge the better, but there is always the I possibility that only one or two an swers may be wrong, so every ques tional is being given a earful dou ble checking. i Frdnr the progress made so far The Bee hopes to complete the checking some time this month and reward the patience of its many con testants by announcing the winners and awarding the $3,500 in cash prizes. $2,500 Netted in First Day Of Salvation Army Drive The first day of the Salvation Army drive to raise $42,600 resulted 'in contributions. totalling $2500, ac cording to H. E. Roulfs, executive secretary, yesterday. "I am satisfied with the results of the first day's drive," declared Mr.' Roulfs. "Contributions were re ceived mostly from individuals and not from firms of the city. We have 2 teams out today and I am con fident that the returns tonight will be considerably better than yester day. . At least "99 per cent of those we have approached' have indicated their appreciation of the work ac complished by the Salvation Army in the city." - , r : : ; , : Arthur J.

Henrietta Hen ran fat as the could down tho)lnk and stood at near the water as she atrea, cackling loudly and flapping her wina. What shall I dor Oh, what shall Z dot'Htwutt. Hn fjuawktd. Her child, who was swimming in the duck-pond. 6eemrd to have no intention of minding her. Nor did he seem to have any intention of drowning; and as for getting his feet wet. he acted as if he liked that. "What shall I do? Oh. what shall I do?" Henrietta Hen squawked. Shu made so much noise that some of her neighbors came a running, to see what was the matter. " And as soon as they discovered what had hap pened they began to laugh. "We. may as well tell you," they said to Henrietta Hen, "That that chap out there is a duckling. The water-won't hurt him." Henrietta Hen gasped and gasped. She was astonished. But she soon pulled herself together. And it was just like her to begin to boast. feeel she cried to her friends, and waved toward the water with an air of pride. "There isn't one of you that has a child that can beat him swimming. . I should hope iii.. r said Polly Plymouth Rock with a shnu of her fine shoulders. And all the others agreed that they wanted no swim mers in their families. Henrietta Hen announced that she was sorry for them. "Every brood," she declared, "should have at least "Sayl" , Jack positively' barked it from the bathroom where he was finishing his dressing, and, Jill wondered guiltily if - she had mislaid his shav ing soap or had forgotten to lay out a dean towel for him. "Yes dear," she cried cheerfully, "what is it?" "Haven't" I cot a decent black tie to my name?" , A black tie i "Sure a black tie," he cried back irritably. "I don't want to wear one of these neckties that looks like a western sunset or a summer- rain bow to the office." ' "Why I think your ties are very pretty," said Jilt' defensively. Defen sively, because .most of his ties were her own selection. "They're all of them too giddy," h said shortly.' "I ought ' to L wear black or dark navy blue. A man of my type looks better in quiet dignified-colors." "A man of your type?" repeated Jill suspiciously. "Who said that?" "What's that?'? ' "You heard me. Who said that?" "Well ah Miss Barker said so, and she's right." ' , Miss Barker was the stenographer at Jack's office, which accounted for Jill's sniff of disdain. "What does Miss Barker know about it, I'd like to know? Is she so interested in ah men of your type?" . "Don't be absurd," said Jack stiff ly. "But it stands to reason that black or dark blue ties are fitted to me: They're more dignified." 'Dignified," -chuckled Jill. "For goodness' sake what do you want to look dignified for? Why, you're not thirty yet?" - - "Well even if I'm not, it is better that I look dressed in quiet taste, doesn't it? Do I want to wear green and yellow and pink neckties?" "Oh, bosh. Jack," said Jill. "Put on that nice dark-green tie and get along to town. Breakfast has been ready .fifteen minutes." ', There was a grumbling obedience. Jill smiled whimsically at her Jack-man across the breakfast table and there was . a teasing imp in her eyes. "Well,- if Miss Barker insists that your ties are all wrong and that you ought to have something black and dignified I'll get you that kind." Jack wrinkled into a puzzled little smile. . . . . .

Really, h; had never frit quite so important before not even when her firt broo4 pecked their way out of their shell. "There's nothing quite like swim mina," Henrietta Hen remarked with a silly smirk. "If it weren't tor get ting my feet wet I'd be tempted ti learn myself. No doubt my ton could tetch me." "Your ton!" the old while hen tniffrd. "He's not your ton, Hen riteet Hen. Somebody played a joke on you. i Somebody put duck's egg under you while you were hatching your eggs. And I think I can guru who it wat that did it. For just a moment Henrietta Hen stood still. The newt almost took her breath away. Her comb trem bled on the top of her head. She even stopped clucking. And the looked from one to another of her compan ions as if in hopes of finding one face, at, least, that looked doubtful. . . . Alast Everybody appeared to agree with old Whitey. "If this is to," Henrietta muttered at last, "it't strange nobody ever noticed before that there was a duck ling in my brood." ' "We knew from the very first! folly Plymouth Rock told her. "You were the only one on th: farm that duln t see that one of your fam ily was different from the rest." All this time the young duckling was swimming farther and farther away. He seemed to have forgotten all about his foster' mother. . V Henrietta Hen took one lonir last look at him. She guessed that the might have ttood there forever cack- Iine for him to come back and he wouldn't have paid the slightest heed to her. Then she gathered her children her realty own about her. "Cornel ' she said to them. "We'll go home now." "What about him?" they demand ed, pointing to the truant duckling who was bobbing about on the rippling- water. "Aren't you going to make him come, -too?" . ... '.. "No!" said their mother. "We're well rid of him. He has been more trouble to me than all the rest of you to tell the truth, I never liked him very well." Copyright, 1121, International Feature Service, Inc. ' "Well, all right, hon if you don't mind," he answered . doubtfully. So, sure enough, there was a small parcel by his plate when' he came home from the office that night. He opened it carelessly and then Jill heard a cry of indignant aston ishment. - Jack held up a small ready-made bow tie of rusty black and stared at it in grim disapproyat. "What do you call this?" he de manded. Jill dimpled at him . from the kitchen door. " "That's a nice dignified black necktie," she said. "Nice." he repeated scornfully. "Why that's fit for some undertaker about 90 years old. You don't expect me to wear such a terrible thing as that, do , you? Why" But his Jill-girt Svaved him into si lence.

Charle magne followed directions and hit arrow lighted upon a clump of sow thistle. By royal proclamation the people ate sow-thistle and the plague disappeared; presumably .the rain fell also. It is evident that the sow thistle was one of the many "light ning plants" of the Old Germans plants which were supposed to be engendered, or at least fructified, by lightning, and lightning is, as a rule, accompanied by rain. In the use of the plant in connection with hogs so common in Germany, there may be a r.eminiscense of the pig which was sacrificed to Isis to insure moisture.

Don't look in such a cold, disgust ed way at the despondent men whom you may see on the park benches. Some of them may be bums, but there are others, in the greater ma jority, at present, if the truth were known, who are out of work because they cannot get work. They feel like outcasts to be classed with the parasites who won't work. They experience mental as well as physical pain to be hungry and pub licly disgraced.

I'l WHY ll , Do Wa Speak of TroubU-Mskera at Jingoes Y Every time that the black cloud of war 'cam itt shadow over any of the nation of the wrld there it one word that It almost certain to make its appearance upon the ed itorul rIc of English and Amer ican newspapers the term "jingo" at applied to those who seek to create trouble or foater discontent between nations. rarentlrst, so far at actual deri vation, h concerned", the term goea back to the days of the Rusto-Turk-Uh war when it appeared more than likely that. Great liritain would be drawn Into the conflict. A popular' song in England at that time had', the refrain: " "We don't want to fight, but. by Jigt.' if we do 1 i . We've got the men. we've got tlw ships, we've got the money, too." i 'Here the "by Jingo," was merely an eiclamation which some author ities trace to a pagan dfltv a sort of. KaH-brother to "by Jove." But the song became so popular that the streets rang with it and, had it not been for the diplomacy of those in power, England would have found itself en.tnuglcd in a quarrel in which it had no real personal inter ests. On top of this came the elec tions in which the Liberals, headed by Gladstone, referred to the foreign policy of the Torrics as being one of "bloodshed, glory and jingoism." This gave the term additional stand ing and, ever since this time, it has been used to indicate those of bellig erent instincts those, who, for one reason or another, are apt 'o rush headlong into war without proper consideration for the lives or prin ciples at stake.
