...... . i muni, ilA Ik Vi 1 in, i )Z 1 LEGISLATIVE NOTES The hou; in hollin(r nipM session Iwice a werk in or!T to lisose of tills that nre up for third trading . Eleven Nebraska institutions en jrffd in child work have pr-titlonrvl bills that ould interfere with their work. The siftintr committee pave out the apportionment hill first. Others will follow in the order of their supposed importance. The senate finally passed the hill providing for a standard loaf of bread but considerable oratory was neces sary in order to do it. The senate approved n motion that wnnte employes must be on the job by 8:1.) in the morning instead of toming when they please. Among hills passed by the senate are one increasing the enalty for bank hold-up, and one providing nine judges for the Omaha district. The senate had the stage all set for a fight over the movie hill but changed its mind nt the last minute. A large audience was disappointed. Charges were made that the chairman cf this committee was trying to smoth er the bill because he wanted to get favorable action on his own bill on the same subject. The action of the house is taken as a prediction of what is likely to happen in the way of action on crn.-orship. As predicted, the state hail insur ance bill ftill lacks a whole lot of being out of the woods and predictions are made that it will not pass unless the $100,000 revolving fund section is tak en out. Friends of the bill say it will still be better than the present law, even if this section is stricken out. One reason it will be better is because it re quires the payment of premiums in advance. Under the present law premiums do not have to be paid "n until the hail season is over and it is said many do not pay. R. H. Howell won a victory when the houe bill requiring the municipal ice makers to buy out private competitors was indefinitely postponed. The house added $100,000 to the ap propriation for state aid bridges. Th appropriation bill was approved by th house without much difficulty. The senate approved the bill Uiat reduces the amount of butter fat that is included in ice cream. This may have the effect of reducing the price of ice cream. By a close margin the houe decided to put judges, school superintendents and others back on the partisan ballot, thus doing away with the nonpartisan ballot. The Yeiser hill making it a crime to allow food products to spoil in order to keep up prices received favorable consideration in the house and will probably pass. The finance committee overlooked the Kearney tuberculosis hospital when making up the appropriation bill but an item of $120,000 was added for this institution. Senate file 2K2 gives the pardon loard the right to do as it pleases about hearing applications for par dons and paroles. The bill also pro vides rules under which the board will work. Up to the present time Utah legis lators have enjoyed four fist fights, Nehiaska legislators have some lively pcraps but all of them have been set tied so far without resorting to Jack Dempsey methods. Members of the house judiciary committee petitioned Governor Mc Kelvie to introduce a bill to continue the supreme court commission for two years. The senate has twice killed a bill to continne the commission. The language bill, passed by the senate, has reached the house and it is expected to pass without serious oppo Kition, although an active lobby ts working against it. It will have to lie reported out by the sifting committee, The house has passed bills for the American legion, the farmers, the bankers, the attorneys, the cities of Omaha and Lincoln and for most everybody else but, so far, little or no attention has been paid to bills wanted by newspapers. Tart of the newspaper bills have leen killed and all the oth ers will go to the sifting committee so their future is shrouded in considera ble doubt. advocates of the primary see in this bill a correction of some of the weak points in the primary law. If this bill passe candidates must make three campaigns, one for the convention, one for the primary and one for election. The judiciary committee reported out three newspaper bills with a recommendation that they be placed on general tile and passed. Nome changes ni'ic iiitnitj in iiiv.ui ijj wtc ci lit mi i n but, on the whole they are an improve ment over present laws. Three press association bills were killed in commit tee, one was killed in committee of the whole and four have been favorably reported by committee. Two other bills favorable to newspapers are also on general file. Several bills detri mental to newspapers have been killed. Two others that are detrimental to the interests of newspapers are on general file and are receiving attention. The house added $G,000 to the ap propriation for the banking depart ment. This was done so additional ex aminers can be employed. This de partment now has an enormous amount of work to do and more ex aminers are needed. Here's a Chaifce For a Vet to Get A Regular Wife A man who "swears when necessary, stays out late at night, and who isn't afraid to chew tobneco," is the Lotha rio and future companion of conjugal bliss desired by a young woman of Lincoln, who has outlined her matri monial specifications in a letter to the Mid-West Veteran, official organ of the American Legion of Nebraska. The writer, who signs herself "SHJly," has appealed to the newspaper to find a life mate among members of the American Legion. Other characteristics which the pro spective "eave man'' must possess to win Sally are: "It is my greatest am bition to marry a man who is a real fellow. I want a bird that is not afraid to stand on his own feet and tell the world where to head in. Prefer a man with such a great, deep voice that Republicans tremble when he speaks. Is there an ex-service man who can qualify ?" Most members of the Legion in Ne braska can qualify, according to the editor of the Legion publication. It's time to use them.

"Hey, Jimmie," shouted the other, "keep yer fingers together when yere swimmin. Ye wouldn't eat soup w it a' fork, would yer?" Wanted to buy both your fat The house approved the soldier bo nus bill but it cannot go into effect until voted on by the people. It pro vides lor a tax levy of one million dol lars a year for ten years. Some feel ing was stirred up over the bill and the American Legion men refused to vote either way. The senate uNo approved the bill requiring general registration of vot ers. This bill requires assessors to register all voters while making their rounds. No further registration is needed unless one removes from one precinct to another. Voters who wish to change their politics before voting in a primary must notify the countv clerk thirty days in advance. The ob ject or the bill is to keep voters from switching from one party to the other in primary elections. The senate advanced the marriage bill but cut out some of its most dras tic features. The section requiring medical examination was taken out for the reason that only a few physicians in the state are able to make the prop er tests. Ten days' notice are required before a license may issue but if the parties are over 21 the judge may waive this requirement. The old mar riage law now on the books is unchanged. The senate passed a bill prov'd:ng for an appropriation of $r?00,000 for a new state reformatory without waiting for the house to act. Following are the names of the house sifting committee: Chairman Speaker Anderson. First district Good of Nemaha and Downing of Johnson. Second Kobertson of Douglas, Fra zeur of Sarpy. Third Mears of Wayne, Lynn of Knox. Fourth Murphy of Saline, Ander son of Hamilton. Fifth Hyrum of Franklin, Good rich of Nuckolls. Sixth Harbour of Scotts Bluff and Gould of Kearney. It is said four or five potential can didates for governor are functioning in the legislature. It will be a labor of love for the newspapers to start fires under some of them when their boom lets are launched. Some of the legislators say they are getting mighty tired of being called upon to settle private scraps that originate in Omaha. Some of them say if they had it to do over again they would vote to pass every Omaha bill that comes up, regardless of what it might do. The American Legion soldier's relief bill passed the house by a big major ity. This bill provides an appropria tion of two million dollars which is to be invested in government bonds and the interest will be used for needy former soldiers. The big fight over mov;e censorship was started in th house Friday but it was necessary to adjourn before it was settled. It was understood that it would again be taken up Tuesday af ternoon. This letter has to go out too soon to give the result. A start was made by advancing the senate hill fav oring national censorship. McFarland then moved that his bill be killed. This leaves the contest between the GifTord Byrum bill and the child welfare bill. A referendum submitted to Nebras ka publishers shows that 93 per cent of chose who voted are not in favor of changing the present cigaret law. This is not to be taken as meaning that the editors favor the use of cigarets. They are opposed to putting a law on the statute books that does not have pub lic sentiment behind it and that is sure to be a dead letter. Whenever public seniment demands an anti-cigaret law the newspaper men wil support it, re gardless of its elfect upon their revenues. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION Regular teachers examinations will be held at the court house March 2G OPAL RUSSELL, S0-S3 County Superintendent. AT THE MOVIES Tonight's feature at the Imperial is "The Little Adventurer," with Shirley Mason in the leading role. The Douglas bill which provides for the selection of primary candidates by a convention is attracting considerable attention. The bill provides for the selection of three candidates by con vention, thus giv'ng a chance for dif ferent factions to be represented. These names will then be placed on the primary ballot. Opponents of the bill say a referendum will surely be in voked. On the other hand, some ardent Saturday's attraction is "The Sap head," in which Buster Kenton, the comedy star, .steps out in regular pic tures for the first time. He takes the part of a simple soul with an un limited simply of money earned hy his father. He imagines that his sweet heart likes the desperate -type, and proceeds to become a wicked man, al though the life bores him. After being caught in a gambling raid, his father turns him loose with a check for a million dollars. He buys a eat in the stock exchange, a lamb ready to be sheared, and meets with totally different fortunes than he had expected. "The Poor Simp," with Owen Moore in the lead, will be shown Sunday. It's a rapid-fire farce without any of the slapsick elements, one of the best pictures this star has ever made. The Mondav bill is "Rich Girl, Poor Girl." Nora McShane lived in a tene ment in Fish Alley. Beatrice Vander fleet lived in a mansion or. the Park. One was a daring little alley-cat the other a silky-smooth pet angora. One loved her "Muggsy" the other, her Reginald yet they were pals. There! we've got 'em started and it wouldn't be fair to tell any more but Wow! What a finish! When Beatrice has been kidnapped and the loyal little alley-cat anil her tough-guy tom-cat friends come to her pal's rescue, claws out and spitting fire! Wanted to buy both your fat and stock hogs.

Phone 71. 18tf Representative Epperson fought to the last ditch in his etrort to defeat the highway bills but he was systematic ally and enthusiastically defeated at every turn. He admitted that his ob ject was to do away with federal aid in road build;ng and put the entire jurisdiction within the counties. A special effort was made by the house last week to dispose of as many bills as possible in order to keep them from falling into the grip of the sift ing committee. This committee took charge of the general file Monday anil from now on only such bills will be acted on as this committee passes out. The senate expects to get along with out a sifting committee. The committee on education thinks it is none of the public's business what school txiards do with public money so it killed the bill reouirincr school loards to publish their proceedings the same as city couWils anil county boards are required to do. Since most school boards have the same ideas the the opinion is unanimous so far as they aie concerned. The Doulas primary bill provoked a lot of oratory in the house but was finally advanced. This bill provides for a combination of convention and primary. Candidates are to be selected by a convention and then selections will be made from the list in a pri mary. Opponents of the bill predict that if it becomes a law that refer endum will be invoked and the people will kill it. Senate file 120, which asks congress to provide a national board for cen soring moving pictures, was taken away from the house committee on child welfare and reported out.

MINORT, Pastor I L Why We are the Cleanest Clothed People in the World i Said a famous Frenchman, visiting America for the first time: "Ah you Americans you are the cleanest clothed people in the world. I envy you!" We have reason to believe he meant what he said. Clothes sent "out" in Siam are usually washed in a village pond one water for everybody's washing. Clow-can sprinkling is universal among the Chinese. In Mexico it is well known that laundresses rent out apparel of their patrons many instances are re lated of men meeting their own shirts on unfamiliar backs. Europe, too, has its unusual customs. Yet, clothes look clean in these countries the difference is that here we have linked up sanitary service with our laundering. With us, clothes are sterilized as well as cleansed. This Will Illustrate : Everything in the family bundle is washed in five to ten baths of cleans ing suds and rainsoft water in modern laundries. Sterilized, superheated air of 210 degrees to 280 degrees temperature is used in drying. Still other pieces are dried in ironing at a temperature of 320 degrees. Clean clothes never come into con tact with the soiled-wrapping in aseptic paper, in a speciatt shipping room well removed from the receiv ing room, is the final step. In modern laundries, personal arj parel is refreshed and deansed 1 wardly and outwardly-actually made purer than the milk we drink. It is w-ell to remember that this service of sanitation - which helns keep us the cleanest clothed people in the world-is obtainable only modern laundries. y n To be sure of this service that is safe and saving; to be sure of protec tion for your own health and that of X art 1 SeCU,e he,P tht : wSl take all of the inconvenience arJ work of washday out of you, home send your family washing to the mod' em laundry in your city.
