then settled down to a quiet life as
manager or porter for his wife's
rooming house. But not for long.. Am
bition stirred him, and he engaged in
the landscaoe irardeninir game.
The landscape barbering was highly
effective for a while. There were a'
few contracts signed or about to be
signed, when something happened.
Handsome Harry, while he made beau
tiful water color sketches, got no op
portunity to make Alliance front yards
look like the private grounds of John
D's estate at Pocantico Hills. Just
what it was that made the landscaping
unprofitable is not known, although
there were rumors of one sort and an
other afloat at the time.
Then, unfortunately, the Rosetta
rooming house began to be suspected
by the police. There was a hazy sus
picion that there was moonshine to be
had in those plastered halls, During
last year's race meet, Mrs. R. was ar
rested and paid a fine of $100 and
costs on a charge of illegal sale of in
toxicating liquor.
And then, a few months ago, a state
booze hound in disguise stopped at
-the Rosetta rooming house. He pur
chased some prime moonshine at bar
pain prices, testifying in court that
jiosetta and his wife had both sold the
.stuff to him. He said that Harry had
told him of having forty gallons of
stuff laid away against the Big Drouth
nd that it was concealed on his larce,
spacious and imaginary ranch near the
city.

The anti-radicalism lecture sched

20, to be given by Peter W. Collins,
u-ni-ld famous authority on labor and
other economic problems, has been in
definitely postponed, due to the illness
of the lecturer, who is now confined
in a hospital at Casper, Wyo. It is
possible that a later date may be set,
or arrangements made for another
speaker to take his place, but in any
event the talk will not be given until
tome time later than the date origi
nally set.
The E. G. Laing clothing store was

report being that the owner had de

"Three people ou tof ten are wear

actual survey it has been found '.hat
seven out of every ten should be wear

for glasses in modern civilized . ife is
due to the constant use of the eyes at
close range, and the almost con-scant
exposure to glare from sidewalks,
streets or buildings, or high power
electric liehts. It is the constant use
of the eyes for close work that has
made scientific glass-fitting a great
basic human need.
The strain of civilized life falls
most heavily upon the eyes, the most
delicate and the hardest worked of any
of the organs of the body. This is
especially true of school children, be
cause a child's eyes are immature.
They are baby eyes until he has
leached the age of from ten to twelve
jears, and too freouently he is required
to do work which would mean a full
load for mature eyes.

SUGGEST A GYM
AND CLUB ROOfi
FOR DOY SCOOTS
ADVISORY COUNCIL TO CONS1D
ER PERMANENT QUARTERS.
Believe That Way Can Be Found to
Furnish Amusement, Recreation
and Training for Youths.
The local advisory council for the
Boy Scouts is now considering the es
tablishing of a permanent headquar
ters for the city's four scout troops,
and several locations have been sug
gested, among them the room in the
Masonic Temple building, recently
vacated by the American Railway ex
press company. The project is in a
somewhat tentative shape, as there are
several points to be settled before any
definite action is taken, among them
the important matter of financing the
plans, but Scoutmaster B. W. Reach
and others with whom he has discussed
the plan are exceedingly enthusiastic
over the prospect
During the summer time, the boys
are not greatly in need of a place for
holding their drills, as this can be done
out of doors, at the camp at Belmont
or the club house at Broncho lake.
But there is always need for a central
meeting place. The idea is to fit up
some downtown location as a club
room and gymnasium, with reading
room, a place to write letters and the
scouts' wireless apparatus.
"This will solve the problem of in
teresting boys up to the age of eigh
teen years," Mr. Keach says. "When
we get a place where they can be at
home, and where we are equipped to
take care of them, there will not be
any problem of keeping boys off the
streets. If we can get our wireless
apparatus erected in some uptown lo
cation, where there is plenty of room,
there'll be a crowd of interested boys
there until the lights are turned out.
With a gymnasium and other things
to interest them the Boy Scouts will
make real progress in Alliance."
, The Scouts have had rather a diffi
cult time in getting organized the last
time. The chief difficulty is the mat
ter of holding their regular drills.
They used the city armory for a time
but discovered that it was sometimes
given to other meetings or entertain
ments when they had not been notified.
They now have one evening a week.
Lowry & Henry have come to the
Scouts' rescue with the Roof Garden,
which has been placed at their dis
posal, and it is the only building in the I
cny wnicn can care ior me memDers
of all four troops at the same time.
This building can still be used when
it is desired to have a general assembly
of the scouts, but the downtown quar
ters would provide facilities for in
dividual troop drills, and a schedule
could be arranged whereby every one
of the troops could be provided for on
definite nights, and the work of train
ing can proceed on a regular schedule,
without interruption.
It is believed that the advisory
council will have little difficulty in
financing a project of this kind. Alli
ance has no Y. M. C. A., and there is
no place where boys from the age of
twelve to eighteen are free to enjoy
themselves, unless it is on the streets.
The reading room and gymnasium
fetaures could also be available to the
DeMolay boys, and if the Scout board
decides to go ahead with the project,
it is thought that there will be plenty
of support from business men and
others to put it over.
Fashion Shop
Announcing Seventh
Annual Opening
Saturday, March 11, is set as the
date for the seventh annual opening of
the Fashion Shop. It so happens that
this date is the exact anniversary of
this business. Six years ago, on March
11, A. G. Isaacson opened the Fashion
Shop, and each year has found it
growing in prominence, with a patron
age from a larger territory. About a
year ago the entire building was re
modeled and a set of fixtures and fur
nishings installed which have no equal
in western Nebraska and are com
parable to those found in the exclusive
shops of the lartrcr cities.
The Fashion Shop has builded its
prestiee on the quality of its merchan
dise and the authenticity of its styles,
as well as the exceptional selections
which its patrons are afforded. The
new 1922 spring styles, which will be
displayed to the public Saturday, in
clude the latest creations in ladies
suits, dresses and coats for spring
wear. The showing will include the
new fabrics and colors in garments for
street and home, sport models, and a
splendid selection of the latest modes
in undergarments.
Special attention of visitors is called
to a large shipment of spring millinery
just received, which will be one of the
i ttractions for the oneninf. There will
be dozens of models, direct from the
fashion centers of the east.
Special music will be furnished from
? to 5 p. m, on Saturday, the opening
day.

FINAL TRIBUTE IS
PAID BY FRIENDS
OF E. L . KIBBLE
FUNERAL SERVICES WERE HELD
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Business Houses Cloned During the
Services in Honor of Memory
of Real Estate Man.
Funeral services for Ephraim T.
Kibble, sixty years of age, who died at
his home in Alliance Sunday evening,
were held from the First Methodist
church in this city at 2:30 Wednesday,
with Rev. Mearl C. Smith, pastor, in
charge. Interment was made in Green
wood cemetery, the Elks and Eagles
lodges taking part in the services at
the grave. Mr. Smith took for the text
for the sermon the first verse of the
fourteenth chapter of John, the same
text having been used for the services
for bis father and graidfather.
A large concourse of friends gath
ered ot the church, completely filling
it. The business houses of the city
were closed from 2:30 to 3 p. m. in
memory of Mr. Kibble.
Lloyd C. Thomas, as a part of the
service at the church, read the follow
ing tribute to his friend:
My friends and brothers, we have
gathered here today to participate in
the last sad rites in honor of one who
to us was both a friend and a brother,
a father and husband. Death, who
knocks with equal hand at the door of
the cottage arid the palace gate, has
been busy at his appointed work.
With us it is a time-honored custom
that amid the turmoil of this life we
pause on such an occasion as this to
note the departure of one of our
brothers upon that vast and silent
journey to the undiscovered country
from which no traveler has ever re
turned.
Tribute to the Dead
"It is proper and fitting that we so
honor our dead. It brings before our
mental vision the uncertainty of life,
and the fact that for mortal man there
is no escape from the call of death.
Death is no respecter of persons. .The
same cold hand that touches with dead
ly chill the heartstrings of the poor
and Ftitls the vibrations, clutches with
a deadly, unrelenting grasp the great
and mighty of the earth and produces
the same dread and suffering.

Marcus Frankle '
Talks to Members
of the Rotary Club
Rotarian Marcus Frankle was the
speaker at the Wednesday evening din
ner of the Alliance Rotary club, held
at the Palm Room of the Alliance'
Hotel. Mr. -Frankle took for his sub
ject, "Fabrics," and said he had been
collecting material for that talk during
thirty-five years of business !ife. Mr.
frankle spoke for almost an hour on
the various grades of cloth that are In
every-day use, exhibiting samples of
each and telling of their peculiarities.
Among the features, Mr. Frankle
gave a home test by which cotton and
wool could be distinguished, as wel as
silk and cotton. He alio showed how
mixtures of the two could be discov
ered by the aid of an ordinary match.
The cotton thread burns with a flash,
whereas silk and wool will char and
smolder. "A number of people have
the idea that clothing inetvha;.t3 are
keeping this test a trade secret," Mr.
t rankle said, but we re not. 1 hese
days the reliable merchant is perfect
ly i rank as regards the m Venn's in
his wares."
Another interesting point br i ght
out was in regard to the use if the
term "shoddy." As mojt Americans
use this word, the speaker Mid, they
intend to refer to any inferior J.ranJ
of goods. As a matter of fact, he
continued, shoddy is usually very good
quality for the price it is sold at, and
the use to which it is put. "It has one
virtue," he declared. "It v.J look as
bad in six weeks as it will after six
months' wear." Shoddy, Yf e?.pl lined,
is made of second-hand clothini; i.t up
and rewoven, with usually r. facing of
new material.
Mr. Frankle had with him samples
of the various kinds of cloth, w hich he
explained and passed around tor the
inspection of his hearers. He wove
into his discourse some interesting
facts in regard to the history of silk,
wool and cotton, and pointed f it how,
in the early days of history, various
emperors were anxious to confine the
industry to one country, but how any
worthy industry had always nvJKiged
to become distributed over the world.
He brought out the point, also, that at
any time the effort had been nvide to
regulate the price to be charged for
silk or wool, the industry had lan
guished until the restrictions v re re
moved. An interesting exhibit showed the
process of making wool cloth, from the
; raw wool to the finished product The
raw wool is first washed, then combed
and carded, then dyed and then woven,
aftr which it is shrunk.
The facts concerning :ilk and the
acts concerning win ana t:te
various samples or suk mixtures, were, tes&eu aat.jr ,iio.v.v s1 .

Band Concert
Monday Evening
At Imperial
The next concert of the Alliance
band, will be given Monday evening at
the Imperial theatre. This concert
will start at 8:00 instead of 9:00
o'clock, as formerly, as only short sub
jects will be run before the concert,
rather than a long film. It was found
thatf a picture made the program too
long to be really enjoyable, and hence
the change has been made. These con
certs are for the purpose of raising
money to support the band next sum
mer, when there will undoubtedly be
need for one. The band, which is
un dr the direction of J. P. Mann, is a
credit to any town, and has greatly
pleased those who have heard it.
The program will be:
"Fruhlingslied", March IOssy
"Cupids Charms", Serenade Miller
"Joy to the World ", Sacred

A CHANGE IN
PROGRAM FOR
BOXING BOUT
WOP FLYNN HAS ANNEXED A
BROKEN WRIST,
Young Billy Papke of Denver Will
Go With Mel Wyland in the
Semi-Windup.
George Madscn, official boxing pro
moter for Alliance post No. 7 of th
American ' Legion, nas been having
quite a bit of grief in getting the prin
cipals lined up for the first of the
post's boxing bouts, which will b
staged at the Roof Garden on Satur
day evening, March 18. At last, how
ever, after a ten-day stretch of bad
luck, Mr.-Madsen is able to present a
complete card, which will, burring
providence and accidents, stand hitched
until the sponge is tossed into th
Roof Garden ring.
The first two scrappers procured for
the event were- Omaha pugs, who
cheerfully agreed to come to Alliance
for a certain price. Once the agree
ment was made and announcement
displayed, the Omaha boys decided
that they d shake down the post for s
bit more kale. They set their mark
out of all reason, and as a result will
be dining on thin air, by the 18th, if
the promoter's wishes come true. In
cidentally, it's interesting in this con
nection to note that the state boxing
board is considering an investigation
of a so-called ring trust in Omaha.
And so Madscn cast his eyes about
for another likely pair. In the old
days before he went into the army.
Madsen was fairly well acquainted
with the ring game around Denver, and
he got in touch with some pugs in th
Colorado metropolis, and got a full

change in date was necessitated be
cause the floor of the church annex is
now being varnished, and it was feared
that it would be impossible to have the
building in readiness for the earlier
date.
