1$ Marriage an Adventure?
One of the Omaha Sunday paper cartooned
marriage as the greatest of all gambles. About
the time the indolent home-stayers were idly
viewing this cartoon, a minister who lately had
been involved in the wreckage of his own home
announced that it takes nerve to marry.
Omaha has in the neighborhood of 35,000
homes, of varying grades and degrees of com
fort and luxury. How many of them, do you
think, were built on the basis of a gamble, or
founded on nerve?
If by "gamble," a ,word susceptible of many
definitions, we are to suppose that the young
man and the young woman approached an un
known future filled with a high resolve to face
together whatever fortune the unseen days ahead
might bring, then it was a gamble, and a noble
one. If it is courageous to highly devote a life
to the erection of a family altar, to rear around
it children who will be trained in the ways that
make for useful, worthy lives, then these fathers
and mothers had nerve.
Courage, both moral and physical, is required
of every man and woman each day they live.
The ordinary tasks of life are fraught with more
or less of physical danger; jeopardy attends at
every step, the hazard of disease or accident is
always present, yet the true heart goes cheer
fully on, and is not afraid because of the path
that can not be seen. Moral courage is requited,
for on every hand temptation waits, lurking in
attractive guise, to lure the unwary from the
right. Any one may be faced at any moment
with the crisis that demands decision and will
rot delay for answer. Moral courage sustains
ihe soul in the hour of trial, and the right de
cision is always the easiest to make.
Marriage is not a gamble, when entered into
seriously. An equal partnership between a man
and a woman, a sacred and holy relation, the ful
filling of which is a joy to either, holds no ele
ment of chance, and calls for no expenditure of
"nerve." It does require that each partner have
consideration for the other, that self must give
way, and that no plan which is not mutual shall
.survive the thought. Divorces come when one
or the other partner no longer cares to carry out
the compact. , .'
The smoke arising from thousands'of chim
neys each morning, the light that shines from
thousands of windows each evening, speak for
the homes of Omaha, where Marriage has not
failed, where it is not a gamble, but a glorious
certainty, and where the "nerve" is but the stead
fast devotion of husbands and wives to carry on.
Putting the Bonus Up to Mellon.
Senator Underwood, leader of the democratic
minority in the United States senate, came out
flatly against the bonus. He was supported by
Senator Myersj of Montana, another democrat,
on the floor of the senate just a week ago. It is
idle to speculate what the democratic party would
do about rewarding America's defenders if it
were in power its platform certainly avoided
the question. The lineup on both sides of con
gress is rather amusing; in general those mem
bers who are seeking re-election favor the bonus
while those who hold over for a few years feel
Jreer to indulge their personal bias, considering
that the public will have forgotten their position
by the date of their next election contest.
The proposal for bonus payments by a sales
tax appears to have been discouraged by the at
titude manifested by seventy representatives,
chiefly from the west, who favor the bonus but
tnet to plan a flight on the tax on manufactures.
The plan now favored by an apparent majority
is for a bonus to be paid out of interest pay
ments on the foreign debt. More than $10,000,
000,000 is owed America by European nations,
and this is being increased by accruing interest
at the rate of about $1,300,000 a day. Secretary
Mellon has submitted his plan for refunding this
debt and arranging payment There seems to be
the possibility that not a great deal will be re
ceived on this account for two years. However,
if congress thrusts the matter of financing the
bonus jjayments on the secretary of the treasury,
he may be trusted to find a way if there be one.
v Over in Des Moines.
Serious consideration of the city manager
form of municipal government is being given in
Des Moines. A committee composed, of mem
bers of the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Co
operative clubs will make a thorough investiga
tion of the advisability of changing the present
commission form for that of the commission
manager. Already 263 American cities have adopted this
business-like plan of government. Geveland.
with a population of about 800,000, is the largest
community to turn to this means of relief from
the slow-moving, inefficient poiitical government
whose wasteful methods may fairly be charged
with considerable blame for high taxes.
Under the commission-manager system the
people; tlrvt board of director and ht in

man or in engineer, end he U paid !ry

long will it be before the people of Omaha
find such leadership?
Who Owni the Air?
Tite great quotient of radio wave length I
not comprehended by the general public. There
are now only 150 different wive band that can
be ued in uirele telephony and telegraphy.
Under tentative international arrangement the
United States i claiming thirty-five of tlieae
wave length for the ue oi it people. Great
Britain, largely for maritime ue, has adopted
certain other lengths. and to on around the
world.
It niu.t be understood that the radiophone,
wonderful a it in, doe not admit of indis
criminate ditpatch of menage. Ai far as it has
been developed it use i confined to a few send
ing nations in each section, without any limit
on the number of receiving stations that can
catch its magic wave. No apparatus is capable
of catching only wave of 100 feet In length and
ignoring those 110 feet in other words, wide
latitude must be allowed each message. If two
station send out messages simultaneously of
similar wave length, interference result which
blurs them both.
There are said to be .100,000 amateur wireless
operators in America, most of them having only
receiving sets. Secretary Hoover, in calling a
tadio conference, has elated that he is the rep
resentative of the small boys who compose a
large proportion of these amateur. Certainly
they must be protected in their rights of experi
mentation that is, they should be given a spe
cial wave length to which they will confine their
aerial conversation. The army and the navy
radio stations must be given other wave lengths
to which no one else will be entitled. The com
mercial wireless telegraph and telephone com
panies are entitled also to a certain band.
The phrase, "as free as the air," seems to be
proved fa!e by this arrangement, but some
strong regulatory hand is needed. To an alarm
ing extent the radio business of the United States
and of Europe as well is in the hands of an in
ternational syndicate. This is claiming a sort of
squatter sovereignty, taking the position that all
the wave lengths that it has used are its special
property.
It is important that the government should
guard the interests of the public and see to it
that the ether does not come to be regarded
as a vested right. This radio conference at Wasn
mgton will have a prodigious effect on the future.
Facing the Facts.
Secretary Denby's reply to Samuel Gompers,
that diversion of the navy yard establishments to
peace uses would only set up competition with
private plants, and would afford no relief for the
jobless, on its surface seems convincing. It is,
in effect, a statement that the great machine
shops of the United States are useful only for
making implements of warfare, and that when
these are no longer needed, then the skilled
workers who were there employed are to be
caught up and absorbed in the general world of
industry outside governmental activity.
Of course, this was included in the disarma
ment program, and was so understood by those
who had carefully examined the proposal. It is
not, however, an argument in favor of the con
tinual building of warships or the making of
great guns. A peace use should be, found for the
splendid establishments that have been erected
at public expense. No thought is entertained
that they will be dismantled or allowed to fall
into decay. Nor should the dispersion of the
equally magnificent staffs of employes be per
mitted. No other employer had gathered to
gether men of such skill and ability as were
found in the navy yard shops of the country.
Only the highest type of mechanic could hold
his own in that company, and in the working
forces of the different plants the government
possessed a distinct asset of which it should now
take advantage.
For example, the Leviathan, owned by the fed
eral government, is to be reconditioned, but, ac
cording to the arrangement about to be entered
into, the work will be done at a private yard.
Ordinary business prudence would direct that
this be carried on by the government, as the
bills will ultimately be paid from the public
treasury. Other ways are present for the ef
fective use of the navy yard plants, to the end
that employment will be provided for some of
the men now laid off without pay, and also af
fording opportunity for economy that ought to
be welcome.
Case of Ambassador Harvey.
The Bee has not been retained for the defense
of Ambassador Harvey, nor does it feel impelled
to take up the issue in his behalf. That very
versatile gentleman is amply qualified to look
out for himself in the hurly-burly of life, and has
done so with considerable ability so far. What
this paper does want to call attention to is the
quality of the attacks now being made on him.
Democratic editors who have sobbed and sighed
and gurgled and squirmed in the ecstacy incident
to excessive indulgence in the League of Nations
brew find themselves suddenly shocked, grieved,
pained, even flabbergasted, because George Har
vey has intimated that a closer union between
the United States and Great Britain would be of
advantage to the world. This, of course, does
not include Senator Reed, or those other able
democrats, who see in the four-power pact in
abandonment by the United States of hs do
minion over the Pacific. That dominion, of
course, subsisting without reference to Australia,
Japan, China, or India, whose shores are washed
by Pacific waters, and which in turn involves
Great Britain, France, Holland and Portugal.
No matter how wide the ocean, .or what is on the
other side, the United States is to dominate it.
Such rubbish may serve political ends, and it is
i a part of that which finds expression in the tin-
reasoning attack on the American ambassador to
j the Court of St. James. Its consistency is ex
hibited by expressions commending the "hands
across the channel" between England and
France, and rebelling at the thought of "hands
across the sea" between America and England.
Maybe it is asking too much to expect con
sistency from the democrats .when a campaign
is approaching.
Weakness of Ii-3S
Structural Defect In the
2R I Developed by Inquiry.
The Metropolitan Utilities district also pro
poses to do some expanding.
Helium gas may not burn, nor w ill it fix a
labled rudder.
(From the New York Tim.)
The report of the British aeronautical ree.rch
committee upon the cautrt that contributed to
the deitruttion of the dirigible R.Jo (American
2R-2 after purchase) is authoritative because it
reflects the judgment of eminent cirutiU who
cn not be upected oi hostility to the air min
istry. The chairman o( the committee i Sir
Richard lilirebroiik, director oi the department
cf aeronautic at the Imperial College oi Tech
potogy, and the other member are representa
tive specialist, one or more of them belonging to
the Hntih air ministry. Ihe committee tmdi
that "the arcidrnt wa due to structural weakne
in the design of the irhip," for which the de.
igncr were rcponiile, chiefly because "no
calculation were made of the strret due to the
aerodynamic force to which the hip would be
kubjected." It is averted, to illustrate this point,
that "the catt-ulattoui made tfy the denign staff,
taking ipecihe account only ot the forces and
movements due to the distribution of weight and
buovanry, including gas pretire, were mil
leading," It will occur to laymen reading the report
that what seem like ovcroight on the part of
the designers of R-3& wai due to tome extent to
lack of practical experience in .the operating of
dirigibles. If they hud sat. by the tide of pilots
who steered and manocuvcred these great ships,
they could have had a better undemanding of
the (train to which a dirigible i subjected In
changing direction or in buffeting the wind. The
Hritisli conimiitee says: "The structure was not
improbably weakened by the cumulative effect
of reversals of stresses of magnitude not far
short cf the falling strew." On her three tests
before the disaster. R-38 had developed struc
tural weaknesses which, unfortunately, were not
regarded as serious, and attempts were made by
repairers to correct them. On the fourth and
fntal trial, in which prominent aeronautical of
ficers of both the British and American services
lost their lives, the commander. Flight Lieut.
Wann. "was trying the shin on a few short turns
to see how she answered her rudders." Fifty
degrees of turn with IS degrees of helm had
been completed, when the end came. He has
testified that there was no abrupt reversal of the
helm, that it was held amidships for a brief in
terval before being put over again. In short,
care was taken in operating the long cable con
trols. The framework of the ship, 698 feet in
length, was too weak at the aft part of the hull
to withstand the strain put upon it by the swing
of the stern. This, by the way, was a finding of
the court of inquiry ordered by the air miniitry
after the loss of the ship.
In the report of the aeronautical research
committee is there not a warning and a lesson
for the American naval designers of ZR-l. a
sister ship to ZR-2. but larger? In his report
in December to Secretary Denby, Rear Admiral
W. A. Moffett. chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
said that "definite progress has been made to
ward the completion of the rigid airship ZR-l,
tinder construction at the naval aircraft factory
in Philadelphia." It is proper to be solicitous
about the calculations of the stresses due to the
aerodynamic forces to which the ship would be
subjected." Are our designers improving upon
the methods of the Dritish? Certainly a scrutiny
of the American plans would he timely. It will
be folly to go on building dirigibles if the les
sons of disaster are not heeded.
Hutton Webster's History
It was H. G. Wells who Introduced to
many American readers Prof. Hutton Webster
of the University of Nebraska as one of the few
writers of histoy worth reading. Of course, the
thousands of young people who are using Dr.
Webster's various histories know him well. Dr.
Webster is a social anthropologist of interna
tional reputation. It is because he has set him
self to the task of making history intelligible and
interesting and important to high school students
that he has been overlooked, often, by a general
public which prides itself on having graduated
from text books.
Therefore, the recent publication of Prof.
Webster's latest work, "World History" CD. C.
Heath), ought to serve to bring this Nebraska
writer into the place he truly deserves. This
volume is intended as a textbook for high
schools. It has the text format. The author
expressly says it is written for young students.
Yet the book will repay reading by even the
most advanced of grownups and most learned
readers of Mr. Wells.
Wells has several times written in praise of
Dr." Webster. This is rfot because there' is anv
major agreement in the political views -of both
writers; one would never notice any in a reading
of the two world histories. But it is because Dr.
Webster was one of the first to write ,history
with that clearness of vision and. broadness of
scope and intensity of meaning that the times
demand. And, also, because he writes simply,
so that the most complex historical situations
and problems are made intelligible to students.
. It isn't fair to comnare this "W'orld History"
with the "Outline." When Dr. Webster writes
that "History of Civilization" that he could pro
duce, comparisons will be in order. Yet one
can't but make a few notes contrasting the two
works.
The main thesis of Mr. Wells, which so many
thinkwas discovered by that major prophet that
history has seen a tremendous advance in the cul
ture and civilization of mankind, and that the
future holds even greater things in store is the
underlying current of Dr. Webster's work. But
in the "World History" we get no preachments,
no shouting of the theme from every section, no
loncc detours for the reiterated expression of the
author's views or opinions, no flouting of the
rules of history writing, no juggling of all the
facts to fore a great climax, and no substitution
of eminent, literary English for the continuous
movement of the story of human life.
Dr. Webster combines the balanced sociolo
gist and keen historian. Everywhere, he lets
his story tell itself. He hasn't paid too much at
tention to those prehistoric ancestors of ours who
left only their jawbones, or slighted those his
toric figures who have loomed large. The first
seven chapters tell concisely perhaps too calm
ly for those who must think of progress always
interms of eloquence of the basis of our his
tory. As Wells pointed out, the story is a mar
velous tale that all our school children should
know; they should know, too, of the cultural
situations of vastly important movements, and
should recognize 'that a world history must in
clude all the lands and peoples of the world. .
Dr. Webster has performed- a great service
to the school children and the general public
He has produced probably the finest history
text published in this country. There are 115
maps and even more illustrations in the work.
It covers all phases of history and human prog
ress from the remotest periods of time to the
Washington disarmament conference. In gen
eral, no specific point of view is represented.
Except for some of the facts of the causes of
the war, etc., concerning which there is yet great
dispute. Dr. Webster writes with authority, im
partiality, breadth and vision.
This work is not entirely a new one. Many
chapters are taken -unchanged from others of
the author's histories. But the basis the sec
tions dealing with "prehistory" and early ancient
history are entirely new, and other parts are
rewritten, as well as, of course, new chapters
on the most recent events.
It will fill the need which the work of Wells
has created for a "world history." It will give
the high school student a sound basis for an in
telligent understanding of the world we live in,
and the foundations of development. It will do
the same for every grownup.
Heath & Co. would do veil to issue another
I edition of this work for adult readers.

Injection of human blood a a meaiiM

Thla i how MiuNrul did It with IS
exposed children.
The blood waa drawn from i"-r-aona

Theae patient were proved to ho
free from clinical tutxrculonis mid
avphill of any kind. The blood was
drawn between five and nine !hh
after recover)'. It waa kept In an
Icebox Bfter being; drawn. Th
aerum, after havlntr been drawn
from the entire blood, wii preserved
with a little chemical preservative,
and then put away In the Icebox
until time came to use It.
Sixteen children who had never
had meaale. all of whom had been
definitely exposed, were injected
with the serum, at a time some
where between tho time of exposure
and the time when the dlnease could
be expected to ahow iuelf.
Five cuttle centimeters ot this
aerum (about one teaspoonful) waa
Injected deep into the muscles ot
the thish.
Meaale la so contagious and sus
ceptibility to it la ao general that
there waa every reaeon to expect all
16 of the children would develop the
disease.
Of the 16. 12 were not Blck at all.
Four developed what waa called very
mild measles. One got sick on tho
12th day after exposure and three
on the 19th day. MeaBles which de
velop 19 days after exposeure can
be expected to run a miiu course.
None of the cases died.
How long the protection lasts is
far from beln established. One of
these, vaccinated children contracted
measles two months later. i ms
method has now been used by a fair
number of men in considerable
number of Institutions in many parts
of the world. It is the rather ften
eral nninion that it Klves a protec
tion which lasts six months. Six
months' Immunity Is ample to carry
a group of children beyond the dan
ger point.
IT the disease fteis inio an uinuiu
tion it can be forced out in much
lena than that period of time. Six
months freedom will carry the time
beyond the' pneumonia, season, ana
pneumonia is the complication to
fear in measles.
Measles is not a warm weather
disease. A six months' protection
will bridge the time between the
measles season and hot weather
time.
Sixty per cent of all deaths from
measles occur in the first two years
of life. A six months' safety period
gives a chance to get the children
under 2 years of age away from
danger.
"We now have proved means of
vaccination against smallpox, ty
phoid fever, lockjaw, hydropnobla,
diphtheria, measles and scarlet
fever.
Perhaps whooping cought should
be added to the lift.

Doctor's View of School Ikiartl.
Salt I.nU City. Feb. 21. To the
Hdltor of Th Uee: An Open letter
to the Hoard of Kducatlon, rotate
Normal School. Lincoln, Neb.
(eiitlemen: l note wlin some
amusement In today paper that Ihe
Hoard of IMuciition of State Nor
mal Schools of Nebraska will refuse
ItiKtructora of any of the normal col
leges of Nebrnxka leaves of absence
to Ktudy at the universities of Co
lumbia. ChlcaKO and Northwestern,
because clKaret smoking la common
among the women of those Institu
tions. Why the monopoly on selfishness
for men only?
The sauce for the gander ought to
be good for the gooee. College hoys
arc notorious for their fumid
achievements and no one seems to
object even when it occasionally
happens thHt a hoy has to withdraw
from college and forego all further
educational advantages because he
has acquired a tobacco heart. And,
during the war the women of the
land were asked for funds to pam
per the soldier bnys by buying to
bacco for them even while thou
sands of young men were being
turned down in the draft because of
physical wreckage due to the use of
nicotine.
Now. if you worthy gentlemen of
the state board (and I will wager
that 90 per cent of you use tobacco
in some form and all of you were
licked In early youth for indulging
in the same) really have the world's
good at heart, why not use your ef
forts for turning the many millions
of acres now given over to raising
tobacco for men's selfishness alone
into land that will give crops of
foodstuffs, cotton and flax for the
good of suffering humanity?
Was it tha same board as yours
that some years ago put the ban on
women's short skirts (and the ex
treme at that time was only six
inches from the ground) and did not
say one word not one word about
the unbeautiful clothes of men?
If your efforts to reform the world
by meddling with women's affairs in
regard to tobacco bear no better re
sults than they did in the matter of
the hygienic short skirt, I am afraid
Try Porch Sleeping.
M. W. H. writes: "My boy, ased
13. has very bad coughs and colds.
He has one after another. Looks
pale and thin, misses 'so much from
school. What can be the cause of
it? Is it possible the colds are
caused from bad tonsils? He wears
a wool Jersey and wool mackinaw.
Has heavy shoes to keep feet dry.
He is growing fast and is Inclined
to stoop over and does not walk
straight.
"We have a well-ventilated, well
heated upper flat, with plenty of
light and air. Would it be better
sleeping out on the porch if I in
closed it with canvas?
"His father died when he was
about 30 of tuberculosis, and I have
tried to take special rare of my boy.
I send him to the country in the
summer and he gets fat and well,
but goes down when back in school."
REPLY.
Tou should have his nose, throat
and chest gone over and if anything
is found wrong it should be cor
rected. I think it would benefit him to
sleep on the porch if he reacts well
to cold. Try it and be governed by
experience.
AVhat you say about his posture
indicates that he needs gymnasium
work. Does he tako cold baths,
followed by vigorous rubs? If not,
try that. Children of his type (and
it is a recognized type) generally
need to take some form of lime
through most of the winter.
Whip live Mockers.
A schoolmarm writes: "I have two
boys, one 12 and one 15, in my room
ftho stutter. Could you give me any
suggestion I could use to break their
stammering?
"One of the boys comes from a
family where both -mother and
father stammer. Anything would
be a blessing for their good."
REPLY.
Teach them to think calmly and
never to speak until they have
thought out what they are to say.
Keep the other .children from
laughing at them or mocking them
or in any way noticing their infirm
ity. If any boy sings "Katy" keep him
In or whip him.
Do everything possible to prevent
the pupils concerned from noticing
the infirmity. Get a copy of Blan
ton's book entitled "Speech Defects
of Children." Study it and have the
parents of these boys study it.
To Cure Carbuncle.
K. D. S. writes: "W7ill you kindly
inform me, through your column,
what causes a carbuncle and what!
can do to remove it from my neck.
1 never drink tea or coffee."
REPLY.
The Immediate cause Is infection
of the deep skin by pus cocfi. Among
the contributing causes are diabetes,
eating too much, and particularly
too much starch and sugar, and irri
tation of the skin due to such things
aa scratchy collar bands, dirty skin,
subjecting. the skin to dirty oil and
dust.
Clean up your skin, change your
diet, and protect the carbuncle
ligainst filth and phlysical injury,
and it will get well.
To prevent others change what
ever habit or condition which caused
this one.
