ease. Doughty had been a resident
of Lincoln for a number of years;
bis wife leaving him some time ago,
and since which time, he has lived

abouts was not learned at his death.

BOTH KRANKLIN AND
DIAMOND THEATRES UNDER
NEW MANAGEMENT
The Diamond Theatre Company has
leased the Diamond Theatre located
on Lake street, Just west of 24th and
the Franklin theatre located at the
corner of 24th and Franklin Streets.
It is their intention to give the people
residing in this neighborhood only, the
very finest motion pictures obtain
able as well as entirely new vaude
ville entertainment, and a new esm
pany of musical comedy players.
The Franklin theatre is closed end
will reopen Friday night, March 21st.
It la now being retouched, repainted,
refurnished and newly equipped thru
oat.
The Diamond Theatre is still run
ning under the new policy and will be
newly decorated while it is in opera
tion.
On Friday, March 21st for the gala
opening event both theatres will play
Robinson's Plantation Band of New
Ortanaa,.*, This ie without a doubt, the
hedk »1 itt* Seas Mad In the United
States and it has played some or uie
finest theatres and dance halls in the
country. It is an organization of 10
men and it was only through an enor
mous expense that they were able to
be brought to Omaha for this purpose.
Negotiations are under way by the
Diamond Theatre Company to secure
this same band to play at a dance in
Dreamland Hall on Thursday night,
March 27th, but it is not certain
whether they can be obtained. In ad
dition to the jazz band both theatres
will play their regular photoplay at
tractions so that the patrons will be
'abe to see and hear two attractions
for the price of one.
DIAMOND THEATRE
SECURES “DOWN TO
THE SEA IN SHIPS”
On Thursday and Friday, March 20
and 21, the Diamond Theatre will
play "Down To The’Sea in Ships."
This is the photoplay which created
snch a sensation down town when it
played at the Sun theatre for two
weeks at a 50c admission price. In
this picture is shown the capture of
a 98 ton bull whale in which three
men actually lost their lives. It is
by far the most thrilling scene ever
photographed and the manufacturers
of this photoplay claim that It is the
only authentic picture of this kind
ever produced. There is a reward of
$10,000.00 for anyone who can dis
prove the facts of this picture.
On the same two days the Diamond
Theatre will start running the fa
mous second series of "Fighting
Blood" stories. This is a continua
tion of the first series of "Fighting
Blood” stories which were, so popular
in this same theatre. Both of these
pictures are shown Thursday and Fri
day, and on Friday in addition all
patrons will have a chance to hear
the famous Robinson Jazz Band.
On Saturday, March 22nd the Dia
mond Theatre announces "The tlreat
Mail Robbdry,” a thrilling photoplay
which is everything that the name
j implies and contains every conceivable
' kind of thrill.
OPENING ATTRACTION
AT FRANKLIN THEATRE
On Saturday, March 22nd, the
' Franklin Theatre announces as its
1 opening attraction “The Mask of Lo
I pez," direct from its downtown run
; at advance prices. In this photoplay,
a new Western star is featured—Fred
I Thompson, whom all critics say will
i soon be one of the leaders. The pic
| ture also stars Silver King, the fa
mous $100,000.00 prize white stallion.
This horse performs more tricks than
Tom Mix’s Tony ever heard of, and
the picture is one we are sure will
meet with the approval of all the
Franklin patrons.
On Sunday, March 2:ird, the Frank
lin Theatre announces a triple pro
gram. First the feature picture will
be "The Man from Glengarry,” a grip
i ping story of the North woods abund
j ant with thrills and sensations. The
i second will be a brand new comedy
by Tarry Seinon entitled “Horse
Shoes,” being one of the best he has
ever made, and the third will be a!
new picture starring Leo Maloney,!
called “Unsuspecting Strangers.” All
three of these pictures will be shown
at. one price.
EQUINOCTIAL STORMS
ONLY SUPERSTITION
U. S. Weather Bureau Says
Belief Is Mythical.
- 1
Washington.—The weather bureau
at Washington has just dispelled sev- j
era! common superstitions concerning
the wea tlier. In both Kurope and 1
America there in an old belief that a I
severe storm—the so-called “equlnoc- j
tlal storm” or “equinoctial gale"—is 1
due about the date of either equinox,
that is, March 21 or September 22, or
more particularly about the date of
the autumnal or vernal equinox, say*
the New York Times.
“The fallacy of this idea consists In
Identifying »fiy storm that occurs
within a week or several weeks of the
equinox as the equinoctial storm,”
says the bureau. “Statistics show that
there is no maximum of storm fre
quency either in this country or In
Kurope close to the date of either
equinox. Of course, In the long run
storms do occur about these dates.
Just as they occur at all other times
In the year. No reason why storms
should he especially frequent around
the equinoxes is known to meteorolo
gists.
“In the United States the belief In
the equinoctial storm as an event of
regular occurrence has perhaps been
fostered by the fact that West Indian
hurricanes are most common In the
late summer and early autumn.
Called Equinoctial Anyway.
Occasionally a severe storm of this
character sweeps up our Atlantic sea
board, doing a great deal of damage
and attracting general attention. If
It happens anywhere near September
S3 the event is sure to be heralded as
the equinoctial storm.”'
Commenting on the moon's influence
on the weather, the bureau says:
"Modem science la unable to find
any evidence that the moon affects the
weather to an appreciable extent, and
unable to conceive of any reason why
It should. The .movements of the at
mosphere that give ua different kinds
of weather all Involve the expenditure
of an Immense amount of energy In
the form of heat. Such energy comas
to ns from the sun, and Its varying ef
fects depend mainly upon the varying
positions of the earth aa it revolves
around the son and rotates on Its axis.

fraction of this reaches the earth. The
amount of heat we receive from the
moon has been measured with very
delicate Instruments. It is so exces
sively minute that whatever effect It
may have on our atmosphere must be
completely swamped and obliterated
by the enormously greater effects of
solar energy.
Dry and Wet Moon Myth.
“It Is true that the pull of the moon
and the sun upon the atmosphere pro
duces a tide in the atmosphere much
like a tide In the ocean. But tills, too,
has been measured and It is found to
be inslgniticunt compared with the al- i
ternale expanding and shrinking of
the atmosphere due to heating by day
and cooling by night—the ‘heat tide,’
so to speak. Hence It Is of no prac
tical interest.
“The belief in ‘dry and wet’ moons,
Indicated by the position of the lunar
cresceut in the evening sky, and a
host of other notions associating the
moon with the weather, are merely
Idle superstitions. Moonlight is some
times said to be conducive to frosts.
Tbe fact is that moonlight nights also
are clear nights, and it is the absence |
of clouds, not the presence of the I
moon, that favors the occurreney of j
frosts by permitting a rapid loss of,
heat from the earth."
New Brazilian Law
Safeguards Inventions j
Rio de Janeiro.—A new law govern- |
Ing patents on Inventions went into ef- j
feet in Brazil recently. In the words
of the minister of agriculture, corn- ;
merce and industry, who proposed
the change, it “will protect the pub- ,
Uc as well as the inventor."
Under the former law, patents were
registered in each of the 'J1 Brazilian
states and If ttie inventor failed to
register his rights in any state he re
ceived no protection in that state, j
The new law requires one registration
with the federal government.
The new law is expected to he of j
special service to foreign manufac
turers.
Urged to Grow Flax
St. Paul, Minn.—Manufacturers of
flax products of the United States ap
pealed to agricultural educators of the
Northwest in a conference here to
urge farmers to grow more flax. It
was agreed that flax has a place In
the system of crop rotation and that
the present good murket for the prod
uct makes it a crop worth raising.
Jap Police Adopt Pistols.
Tokyo.—The long saher of the Jap
anese policeman, nn unwieldy weapon
In a “rough and tumble," is to be re
placed by m revolver and short sword.
Tile regulations announce that the
revolver shall be used only for pur
poses of self-defense or against prla
oners attempting to escape.
Sweden Electrified
Stockholm.—Sweden has bought her
last steam locomotive. She expects to
electrify all of her railway lines with
in ten years, the operating power to
be developed almost entirely front the
many waterfalls of the country.
