Jack and Jill "Isn't it disgusting to te a Io of women cheating men out of nonfat jobs," demanded Jack, with genuine indignation in hit voice a they en tered the pretty diuing room. "I think you're unkind, dear," remonstrated Jill. "Restaurant work is not 10 hard on women. Mri could be working in factoriei." "There's a great deal of unemploy ment, though, dear," and Jack at down at a table near the window. "Every man has aome one or more women folk to provide for" "Well, if aome of his women folk could work, too, without being found fault with his money and theirs could bring in more joy." Jack was studying the menu, and shook his head tapicntly. "There, you've been reading some of these suffragette things in the magazines. There's no sense in cheating men out of work." Jill said nothmg. She was more interested in the menu, at that moment, "Well, I'd like a little service." muttered Jack. "There are 20 wait resses in this restaurant and nobody to take our orders. Oh, there's a real live man waiter. I'm going to get him." Jack called to the masculine being who lazily rambled over to him. "Now, I'll get a little speed, I know," said Jack. He gave his order, and settled back expectantly "Now, just see the difference. It takes a well-trained man servant o know how to serve a meal correct ly. Women are such amateurs." "But, Jack, dear, I'm your servitor at hame, most of the time. Am I an amateur when I bring in the chops and the coffee?" "Nonsense, child. That's domestic bliss. ' These women ought to 'e home instead of in a public res taurant. That's what I object to." They chatted, they talked, thev lspsed into silence, and they both grew quite cross with the world, as they vainly waited for their meal. At last Jack asked a neat little woman waiting on another table to go on a still hunt for the waiter. "Yes, sir, right away, sir." In a few minutes the masculine waiter rambled out to them, with a sullen indifference. "Was it tomato soup or oysters youse ordered," he asked Jack. "Great Scott 1 It's 40 minutes since I gave my order. Have you ! been asleep. Hurry that along." The waiter leaned over the table, with an ugly leer and snarled. 'If youse don't like it go some w'eres else,' he growled. Jack and Jill both detected an aroma which was assuredly not Volsteadishl Jack started to rise, angrily, but Jill put her hand upon his arm. "Just a minute, dear," she said, calming him, and she beckoned to the quiet little waitress from the next table. "Will you please serve -.is, we're delayed now, and this man does not seem to know his work very well." The waiter swaggered away, mut tering imprecations. "Al right, madam," came the re ply. Then with a little hesitation; "if you please, I'd rather you'd not complain about him.' ' She v.ii swiftly cribbing Jack's repetition of the otutr and duap (cared through the swinging doo'i to the kitchen in a jiffy. ' . "Great Scott!" cried Jack, as they heard a crsah from the directiou of the kitchen. "Sounds like a riot" There was a great "how-do-you-do" from the rear then silence, and the butincai of serving the dme'i proceeded quietly. Their Htle wait ress cam forward with the tray of food, and deftly placed the dishes before them. 'Why she's .rving whispered Jck U Jill, a the woman turned away for an instant. "What is the matter?" asked Jil! sympathetically. "Wat that waiter in trouble f He must have been drinking." "Yes, madam," and lier lip quiv ered pathetically. "They fired him after he hit the chef with a dih." t "But why do you bother hc' just a bum," blurted out Jack. "Yes I'm afraid he is but lie's my husband, sir, and I got him th;s job the first one since his saloon closed. And it's been pretty hard to send three youngsters to school and feed him, too." She hurried away for their second course. "What was that you said, honey, about every man having so many women to support that it was cheat ing for women to hold restaurant jobs?" "I forget, darling, said Jack, fumb ling in his pocket. "I know this one little woman is going to get a dollar tip, today 1" . , ' (Copyright, list, Thompson Feature Service.)

Maul Orders Receive Our Prompt Attention BEATON DRUG CO. 15th and Farnam St. Ziinnian Would Use Auditorium Cellar as Market Proposes $225,000 Bond Issue Be Submitted to Cover Ira provement Costs in Mu nicipal HulL Should the basement of the Au ditorium be improved to meet the reptiirrmcnts of a municipal nur. ket? City Commissioner II. B. Zim man, whose department includes the management o: the Auditorium, an nounced before the city council, sit ting at a budget board yesterday afternoon, that he will bring this matter before the city council at an early date for consideration. The commissioner suggested that a bond proposition of $225,000 be submitted to the people, to cover -the cost of acneral improvements of the A ii1('nriint a .1 ata11 a a kaa niAnAaili4 ' changes in the basement. Koutsky Enters Objection. "Do you think it is fair to tax the people for engaging in business and then establish a market across the street in the basement of the Audi torium?" inquired Commissioner Jo seph Koutsky. "The establishment of a city mar ket has been recognized as a prop er (unction of city government,' re plied Mr. Zimnuit. "This would be providing space where the producer could sell hs ware. The city would nut he tugjging in the business it self." aUynr Dahlman announced that he favored the submission of a bond proposition to improve the Audi torium, but he reserved his judg ment on the market place sugges tion. Mr. Zimman explained that $22S. 000 would cover the expense of im proving the Auditorium and remod eling the basement. He stated that the basement project contemplated an excavation 132 by 2(4 feet. Ife also asserted that he believed the basement could be rented for $30,000 a year for market purposes. The mayor announced that he will ask the council to submit to the vot ers' a bond proposition for the ad dition of another story to the pub lic library1 and for installation of elevators, the cost of which has been estimated at $100,000. - It is proposed to submit these bond propositions at the primary election next July. The present city charter probably will be submitted at the same time for approval or rejection as the ba sis for a home rule charter, accord ing to the provisions of the state constitutional amendments.
