Dexter C. Buell
Back on Job at

Surriirl at Kejiortfd Rfiiig

' ant With Official.
Dexter C. fluell was bak on the
job yesterday it Prlleviif, despite
much ado about lit alleged renigna
lion a director,
"And I shall tie lure at l"i.g a I
am needed, tie it a day, week, month
or longer," lie declared on h! return
from Chicago etirrl.iy morning.
He expressed considerable surorie
at a published statement th.it he had
resigned. M. E. Iliad, brad (. the
St. l.oun district bureau, told The
fiee he received no such notice.
Explanation It Simple.
"The explanation is very tiiiipie,"
aid Uucll. "I wan employed only
to it in opening the I'.ellcvue vo
cational school lit ex-service men.
Iteilevue was opened January 16. is
functioning a well, if not better than
any of the other government train
ing renteri, is a credit to Mr. Head
:ind the other officials, and hat proved
that it will serve its purpo-e well.
"I wrote Mr. Head about the fimt
of February telling him that the
school wa- running so smoothly that
I thought it would not he neresary
H'r ir.c to devote any considerable
amount of time there and suggested
that he relieve mo as iwion as con
silient, and volunteered to (jive such
time 1 he desired atter I had been
relieved, in agisting in new prob
lem that might arise after the new
head of ihe school was appointed.
there was turther reason for this
action, in that at the request of the
Veterans' bureau I had undertaken
the instruction of some 100 ex-service
men in connection with my other
business and there was some com
plication because nf the fact that in
rdcr to handle Uellcvuc for the
Veteran's bureau it had been neces
sary to give he a civil service ap
pointment which conflicted with the
"ther training work I am doing un
der government contract.
"The relations between myself and
this Dcllevue work, and St. Louis
bureau officers have been most
pleasant.
"I have had no word yet from
St. Louis as to when I will be re
lieved and shall continue my duty
at Bcllevue until convenient for St.
Louis to relieve me," '
From ether War Veterans' bureau
officials in the city yesterday, it was
learned that Uucll will be retained
until ano'.hcr man, selected for the
permanent post, can arrange his af
fairs to assume the job.
Jefferii Is Interested.
In the meantime, a dispatch from
Washington divulged the fact that
Colonel Ijams, in charge of the capi
tal bureau, wired Head at St, Louis
that Congressman Jcffcris was in
quiring about the removal of Buell.
"Please advise ywhat., action was
taken and the reasons."
Head replied: "Received no in
formation relative to Buell's resigna
tion, consequently no action taken
and no reasons to offer."

JMr? 5 Mrs Thomas T Manvi Ie ,Jr
Pittsburgh, Feb. 18. Divorce pro
ceedings of Florence E. Manville,
former beautiful chorus girl, against
Thomas F. Manville, ir., son of the
millionaire asbestos king, who is
head of the Johns-Manville company
of New York, disclosed a new love
triangle here today.
Young Manville risked being dis
inherited of his father's millions -nd
had his allowance cut off when he
married the chorus girl. Then heJ
went to work as an humble employe
in his father's factory. The couple
lived happily and simply for a while,
Mrs. Manville testified today, but
young Manville' love cooled and
then he jilted her for another girl.
She was willing to live the simple
life as long as Vanvillc was true to
her, but, she testified, she discovered
there was another woman occupying
her husband's attentions. When she
protested the husband is declared to
have said:
"If I can't run around and do as I
please 1 won't live with you any
longer."
Mrs. Manville testified she refused
to sanction any such proposition and
so her husband left her. She had to
.sue him for support, she declared,
and he, was ordered to pay her $12 a
week and furnish a surety bond of
$1,200. The couple became es
tranged July 2, 1917, according to
the testimony. They were married
June 8, 1911, in New York.

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. Coburn, 2706 Bristol
street, winner of $100 as fourth prize
in the "royal" class, is a teacher
in Lothrop school, where she has
been employed for several years.
Dean T. Smith, 3306 Dewey ave
nue, wins $200 as second prize and
Mrs. J. B. Ryan, $100 as third in
the "grand" class. H. B. 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.

Mrmbrri of Organization
Should He Taught Home
Malting, Sayi Mrs.
Hoover. New Ilead.
Wishincton. Feb. 18. 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

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. Mrs. Edee is living with her par
ents at 329 North Forty-first street,
and Edee is living with his at 3317
Seward street.
Has Baby Girl.
Mrs. Edee is the mother of a little
girl, Katherine Charlotte, by her
former marriage, she sued ner nus
band, Robert E. Fisher, to whom
she was married August 15, 1914, for
divorce in district court on July 2,
1918.
She charged him with extreme cru
elty and asked custody of their child,
then 20 months old.
A decree giving her the custody
of the child and $20 a month was
handed down August 7. 1918.
Sheep-Killing Dog Preys
on Herds Near Pawnee City
Pawnee, Neb., Feb. 18. (Special.)
A sheep-killing dog, presumably
the one that ravaged the country
near here a few weeks ago, is loose
again. The herd belonging to George
Lenard, farmer and stockraiser, was
attacked. Two sheep were killed and
four injured so they had to be shot.
The dog was attacking' the hogs
when the hired man arrived with a
gun. He fired at "the intruder but
missed. Blood hounds were brought
from Beatrice, but failed to scent a

made to kill the intruder.

A letter from hi hrothcr-iu-Uvv,
Trof. Albert B.ntron, Saratow, Rus
lis, was received Friday by Rev.
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.

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. ;

Dr. t oprlund vigorously con
demned the so-called "code of ethics'
of doctor who male a secret of
cures for various sicknesses.
"Sort of Miracle Man."
"The medic! profession through
the age has rhoeit to make itielf a

warming up to hi subject. "The
doctor has been looked upon a
sort of miracle man. lie hss hidden
his wisdom behind a veil of silence.
An air of mystery lias surrounded
the profession, and we have devel
oped a code nf ethics.
"This, I believe, i the most anti
quated, moss-covered and gcrm-Iaden
institution in the world."
T. illustrate his contentions, the
health commissioner cited rancer,
which, he said, is curable in the be
ginning of its growth. The public
must be taught this, he declared. If

medical profession about ranerr the

Power of Advertising.
The power of advertising was
vividly shown by the publicity given
to Dr. Adolph Lorenr. the famou
Viennese surgeon, Dr. Copelrnd
continued. "Dr. Lorcnz did not
briii); with him any greater ability
than at least 20 surgeons in this city
possess. Other doctors, Copeland
stated, did not let the .public know
they could cure paralysis, and so the
public remained in blissful ignorance
of their ability. But when newspa
pers began to exploit the feats of
Dr. Lorenz 35,000 persons flocked to
him to receive his treatment.
"There is something wrong with
the system that makes it impossible
for the sick or the crippled person
to know he can be healed," Cope
land went on. "And the fault is
with the medical profession, which
has been unwilling to advertise what
it can do"
