Elkhorn Weather Man Wins Bee Questionnaire Contest (Continued From rfe One.) the point finally reached where the last few hundred were under con sideration, the judges spent a month in "checking the answers in these, so that there was no possibility of a mistake in making the awards.'---- There were four classes of prizes offered to contestants. The first prize in the "Royal" list is $1,000 cash. Other prizes in this clSss range from $400 to $10. Prizes in the "Grand" list range from $500 to $5; in the "Special" list, from $250 to $2, and in the ordinary list, from" $50 to $1. Weather Man Wins. Vincent E. Jakl, United States weather observer near Elkhorn, Neb., is the winner of the first "Royal" prize of $1,000. Mr. Jakl, who is an Omaha High school graduate, turned in two questionnaires. First, award in the "Grand" prize list, $500, goes to Miss Kathleen Ros siter, llfi South Thirty-fourth street. Miss Rossiter says that the encylo pedia -was her favorite book as a child and that she had a good gen eral knowledge of the questions, or she would not have attempted to an swer them. Le.e C. Batchelder, 4234 .Douglas street, wins first prize of $250 in the "special" awards. Mr. Batchel-' der, who attacked the questionnaire in a serious and determined manner, says that he gathered his informa tion anywhere and everywhere that it could he gleaned. The $50 first prize in the "ordi nary" awards goes to Winter Byles, 108 South Twenty-fourth street. Mr. Byles is the publisher of the Time Saver railway guide. Mrs. Charles J. Hubbard, Colo nial apartments, is the winner of the second prize of $400 in the "royal" awards. Third prize in this class, $200, goes to W. E. Conley, Colo nial apartments. Dora M.

Willeford, 6010 Florence boulevard, is the win ner of $100 as second in the "spe cial" awards. Liberal Education. Many of the contestants expressed themselves as having benefitted greatly by the knowledge gained through looking up the answers to the questionnaire. "It was a liberal education,'' is the way one contestant put it. "I thought that any man with an or dinary education could answer these questions until I tried it. I realize now that the average man really knows less than he thinks he does." What Judges Say By HARLEY G. MOORHEAD. Now that the final awards have been made in trie questionnaire con test, conducted by The Bee, it is proper to make a statement concern ing the papers submitted by the con testants. Considering the great variety of information elicited by these questions, it seems remarka ble that so many contestants sub mitted papers with a very few mis takes. I believe it has been a great educational benefit to every one who participated . (including the judges). Like the questions sub mitted by Mr. Edison in his ques tionnaires, a large number of read ers of The Bee have been induced to think out the answers to the ques tions and in many instances to do considerable research work to get exact information, - The Bee is to be congratulated upon serving the community to this end. The Bee also is to be congratulat ed upon having pulled the wool ovet the eyes of the judges by inducing them to volunteer to judge the an swers to these questionnaires. ' It seemed for a while that we judges would be putting in two or three months of solid time tc ac complish the job which had been undertaken. Personally, now that the job is completed, I feel repaid for the time expended in view of the benefit derived. Those who did not fill out questionnaires so is to for mally enter the contest also have benefited by reading this question naire. Winners are to be congratulated for their carefully prepared an swers. The awards have been made entirely upon merit and without favor te anyone. By M. C Peters. , - Upon The Bee's iKPfr.t plea !ai some one able to sacrifice the time to questions which concern public good, I was persuaded with the two more eminent associates, Mr. David son and Mr. Moorhead, to super, vise and carry out the exceedingly arduous detail of passing judgment upon the answers to The Bee's ques tionnaire problem. It was a tedious, tiring job, ac complished by the judges with the knowledge that they have at least done their best. No attention was paid to the names of the partici pants; the absorbing topic being the correctness and intelligence under which the answers were returned. As a preliminary, each judge care fully determined the proper answer to each question and reached a joint decision on every one of them. The work was tedious, the volume of it so great and the fact that we could only to the service give certain hours of work after our regular business must form an excuse for the delay. There is satisfaction, at least in the minds of the judges, that we have acted carefully and conscien tiously and that we have selected the papers with impartial judgment. To those, who have lost, we offer the consolation that no names were known to us, excepting those of the successful ones and these only be cause we had finally to compile this list from the correct answers scored. The winners deserve and receive our hearty congratulations.

Few sir! nowadays receive "much rest do mestic trainim." Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the secretary of commerce, declares in a statement is sued by her a newly elected presi dent of the National Council of Girl Scouts. "In the domestic field the work of the Girl Scouts is very important," says Mrs. Hoover. "During the last SO years, as compared to earlier times, few girl have received much real domestic training. To be sure, the girl from the country and the village is usually observant and has learned much from her mother, but, generally speaking, they have not been taught in conscientious detail how their homes are, or should be, run. They lack knowledge of the mechanism the mechanics of home making. "The same generalization applies to daughters of very well-to-do city parents, and more particularly to girls living in the small apartments of the highly congested districts of the city. "Among the latter group many of even the essentials of a home are often lacking, and consequently the girls have little opportunity to know what a real home should be." Mrs. Hoover makes appeal for 10, 000 women who are "capable and in telligent and willing to fit them selves to take charge of Girl Scout troops." More than 100,000 girls are waiting to join the Scouts, she says, but cannot be taken in because of lack of leaders. Mrs. Hoover is the mother of two sons.. She was born in Iowa, but most' of her life was spent in Cali fornia. She and her famous hus band met and fell in love with each other while both were students in the same class at the Leland Stan ford university.

The condition shown in the Dec ember call, a statement issued at the white house said, "demonstrates that the process of liquidation has been proceeding at such an excellent, rate that it may fairly be said that we are well on the road to getting the "frozen credit's" thawed out.

Four Months Ago u Divort-ft'Coetl-Mother Slips to Clenwood With Fellow Student of Omaha Univer lity for Wedding. The elopement and marriage of Mrs. Kstherine I. Fisher, pretty young University of Omaha student, to Clarence Kdee, formrr student of the same school, was unveiled yes terday. , The ceremony, which took place in Glcnwood, la., on November 2 of lat year, has been kept a secret, not only to the young couple's fel low students at the university, but to their parent, they admitted. The bride has continued to be known at the university as Mrs. Fisher, the name of a former hus band, from whom she obtained a di vorce decree August 7, 1918. Coed Not Surprised. "I'm not exactly surprised that they married," said another pretty university coed. "They -have gone from one class to another together for a long time, and every noon they went over to a little bakery for lunch. "Oh. I believe I know when they married. The psychology class went to Glcnwood last fall. They went together in a little car of their own. i i.u i.. - .u . r .k anil icit uciuic me vi me But apparently psychology and love were not mixed, for young Mr Edee denied stoutly that the cere mony was performed on this pil grimage. "We were married later than that," he said. "I'll admit we got the idea of going to Glcnwood to be married on that occasion, though." Rev. LeRoy Bobbitt of the Bap tist church at Glcnwood performed the ceremony. G Austin Edee, brother of the groom, was present to make an affidavit that the groom was 21 vears old. "Don't let anyone kno-w about the marriage until were through school," was the .young couple's parting admonition, as they left Glen wood.

George Dorn, auociate pastor of Kountze Memorial LuUictan church. It bears postage of 10,000 rubles, worth more than $5.tH0 in American money in normal times. Bastron. a native German but a Russian officer, writes to hi Omaha brother-in-law of the terrible famine conditions, lie is in tharuc of the transportation of foodstuffs from the Caucasus to the great Volga famine district. The only available food in this district, Bastron says, is Hour made of eround bark and trrass stubble mixed with horse hoofs and car casses of dead animals. No real flour has been obtainable for three years. Last fall, melons, including the rinds, were eaten and served to stay the tanuiie lor me moment. In the little districts where alio lute famine does not reign, prices are fantastic. A kingle horse or cow will sell for l.Ouo.OUO rubles. A ruble was worth 1.5 cents in American money before the war. Ilcnre the price of such au animal is equivalent to $SlS,0tKI according to the pre-war rate of exchange. A pound of but tih when it was available sold for :W ruble or $101.50. Bastron's salary is 1,000,000 duhh-s a mouth. The Lutheran constitutency hi the Volga district is overwhelming, says the letter. Fach church has from 5,000 to 60,0(10 members. Lutherans in this country have sent large sum of money and consignments M clothing to the starving Russians but the need is still desperate. Dope Trial Halted While Hunt for Missing D ollar Bill Occupies Court Jurymen, attorneys and federal officials played "hide the $1 bill" yesterday in federal court when a marked bill that was evidence against an alleged "dope head" disappeared. Federal Judge Woodrough chuckled, but "Big" Joe Manning, fed eral narcotic inspector, spoke in favor of searching all in the court room. "Hey, we got to ' have that evidence," spoke "Big' 'Joe- " 'Sno foolin'. Who got away with it?" Assistant United States Attorney George Keyser scratched his scalp and almost gave up the case. The prisoner beamed in a smile of hope. . Someone suggested search warrants and jurymen started to get on their knees in the search when the "end pony" in the first row flashed a greenback from his pocket "Guess this is it," he spoke. "Someone let us inspect it and I for got to give it back." The case was resumed. Plan Radio Control by Federal Board Continued lrooi Tf On.) rector of the bureau of standards: representatives, one each, frcun the War department, Navy department, Postoffice deoartment and the De partment of Agriculture; Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, Representa tive White of Maine, R. B. Howell of Omaha; Dr. Alfred N. Gold smith, secretary of the Institute of Radio Engineers, New York; Prof. C. M. Jansky, jr., Minnesota; Hiram Percy Maxim, president of the American Relay league of Hartford, Conn., and Prof. L. A. Lazcltinc cf Stevens institute, Hobokcn. Consider Broader Aspects. Apart from the conference there are recommendations from a previous interdeoartmental conference regard ing broader aspects of the problems ot radio, cable, telegrap nana tele phone communication which bear a relation to the new subject. - isins are also pending in congress bearing on the subject introduced by Senator Kellogg ana iccpreseniaiive wmw, who are members of secretary ttoov' er's conference eroun. The eeneral oolicv outlined by the interdepartmental committee named months ago to consider the whole subject of communication is that the proposed new department of national defense shall have rieht of way in radio communications at all times for national safety and defense purposes Strict Regulation Planned. The development of radio com munication bv orivate initiative r.nd capital is to be encouraged, but nnder strict governmental regulations. In the government program a line will be drawn between the civil and military radio service. It is felt that operation and regu lation ouzht to be divorced, other wise claims of discrimination would arise. It is believed that the Ut- partment of Commerce will continue to exercise regulation through licens ing the wave lengths, with the walls strong enough so that it will abso lutely control the situation. lhere is essentially an agreement that the Postoffice department should operate radio in the interior nf the Un ted States that deals witn all governmental matters, with the exception ot purely army suojects. It is intended to give the -wavy department operation of the gov ernment radio on the high seas, as heretofore.. Development Unlimited. That the future developments and utilization of radio communication are almost unlimited is the opinion expressed by the experts within and without the government service. While opinions differ, it is the gen eral view that the big future for radio lies: In communication with ships at ea- . . , In communication with airplanes in flight. , In communication with isolated sections. For transoceanic communication. One important field will be found in the formation of a national net work available in case of a national emergency, in time of a great flood, conflagration, hurricane, strike or riots, when the ordinary means of communication have been cut off or broken dow. Enthused Over Action. Those interested in the future of radio communication have been en thused that the official action of President Harding at the cabinet session makes the study of a federal policy one that will receive im mediate attention. This new conference is expected to absorb all that the informal inter department conference on the gen eral subject of communications has already done respecting radio. The ' informal interdepartmental conferences recognized that one -of the biggest uses of radio in this country would be for broadcasting information to isolated sections, and the postoffice department, which in stituted such a service, sending out crop and weather bulletins, con cluded that such a service had to be a monopoly and that if it is a mono poly the government should control it. This must involve a standardiza tion and control of wave lengths and machinery for administration of the service. Secretary Hoover's confer ence will have this as one of its canicular problems. ; I, Wanted to Wed Beth of Women Could Not Get Divorce From Wife Slew Man Strolling With Sweetheart. Cleveland, O., Feb. 18. Three mysterious slayings, in two of which women were the victims, may be solved by the confession County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton today announced William Anderson had made to him and Captain of Detec tives George Mattowitz from a state penitentiary cell last night.
