Lord Curzon, today.
Both accused Premier Poincare of
"unnecessary precipitancy." The
drastic criticism of the action of the
French government in summarily
turning down the German offer with
out consulting Britain and Italy was
enthusiastically applauded by all
parties in parliament.
War Record Recalled
Poincare's affront to the nations
that sacrificed the flower of their
manhood from 1914 to 1918 to hold;

at the suggestion of Lord Curzon.
It is an open secret here that Lord
Curzon wished to delay the answer to
Germany in order to make it a joint
note from all the allies, after they
had heard from Washington.
Lord Birkenhead, who was primed
for a powerful attack on France in
the house of lords tonight, refrained,
because he did not wish to embarrass
Lord Curzon, who. it is declared. Is
determined that Poincare shall no
longer be allowed to bank and bar
the door to a settlement.
Plan Joint Note
Britain, in a note which will be
identical with one from Italy to be
sent to Germany Friday, will express
regret that Crancellor Cuno's offer
is not satisfactory, and the hope that
a better and more liberal offer will
be forthcoming from Berlin.
A tremendous revulsion of the feel

applause in the house of commons at

Last evening the members of the
Young Men's Bible Class of the
Methodist church with a number, of
visitors enjoyed the opportunity of
spending a short time with C. E.
Hartford, state fire marshal, who
was in the city and had been per
suaded to give the class a short talk
along the lined of his work in fight
ing the causes that lead to fires.
Preceding the address of the even
ing the usual sing was enjoyed with
Mrs. E. H. Wescott leading the sing
ing and the large number of young
men present made a very effective
chorus.
Mr. Hartford, who was introduced
by A. H. Duxbury, chairman of the
speakers' committee, gave a short!
outline of the trouble that the state
has had at North Platte where the
burning of the old court house has
led to one of the biggest scandals in
public life in the west part of the
state and threatens to involve many
prominent residents of Lincoln coun
ty. He told how the records from the
treasurer's office had been carried 'to
a small attic over the district court
room and here the oil soaked records
. had been placed with other old docu-
Iments stored there and evidently fir
ed. The supposition had been evi
dently that the fire would burn up

occurred the fire might have passed
as an ordinary case, but instead the
fire burned the rafters and boards
that made up the floor of the attic
and let the oil soaked records fall
through the ceiling of the court room
to the floor below where they were
found and are being checked up by
the fire wardens to be evidence

The Eastern Star Kensington club
met yesterday afternoon at the par

were present to enjoy the occasion.
The afternoon was spent in sewing
and a general social good time while
a flower guessing contest was one of
the sources of pleasure to the ladies.
The rooms were made very attractive
by the decorations of the purple and
white lilacs and also the wild Sweet
Williams that furnished a very
springlike feature to the decorations.

Mrs. Fred G. Egenberger and
daughter, Mis3 Helen, departed this

enjoy the day there visiting with
friends and looking after some mat
ters of business.
Kansas City. Mo., May 8. Harvest
wages this year must be slightly
higher than those paid last year be
cause of a rising trend in other In
dustries, it was generally agreed at
a labor conference here today of rep
resentatives of Nebraska, Iowa, Mis
souri, Kansas and Oklahoma. The
morning' session was taken up by
discussion of wage conditioss and
what might be expected in the har
vest fields thi3 year.

interested parties and led to the fir
ing of the court house. There would
be arrests made of seven or eight of
the prominent residents there before
the affair was over, Mr. Hartford pro
phesied. These acts had come from
the manner in which the men Involv
ed had lived, the speaker pointed out,
and he urged the class members to
see that their lives were laid along
more Christian standards.
In response to questions' from
members of the class, Mr. Hartford
stated that seventy-five per cent of
the fires over the country were due
to carelessness and indifference and
that fifteen per cent were from de
fective wiring. In the present year of
1923 the loss had reached $100,000
more than in 1923, but this included
the packing house fire In Omaha.

Don't wait until tomorrow to give
them the "once over!" You may be
in the hospital by then or the po
lice station. Cats may have nine lives
but no mortal has ever yet been kill
ed more than once. It doesn't sound
like a big item in the "Things to Do
Today" column, but,
More motor accidents result from
faulty brakes than from any other
cause. This has been the finding of
the National Safety Council in a sur
vey of auto smash-ups, traffic deaths
and reckless driving cases.
When your car 13 going ten miles
an hour, will your brakes bring it to
a standstill witnin y.s reet; or iu.s
feet at fifteen miles; 37 feet at twen
ty miles: 58 feet at twenty-five
miles; 73.3 feet at thirty miles; 104
feet at thirty-five miles: 148 feet at
forty miles and 231 feet at fifty
miles? If not, get busy! Brakes
should be tested every day. Before
going a block from the garage make
a service test by throwing out the
clutch and applying the brakes. If
possible a dry spot should be selected
for this test. Under no circumstances
should the car be taken farther if
the brakes fail to operate correctly.
Go back to the garage and have
them fixed.
If your brake linings are slippery,
remove the rear wheels and wash the
linings with kerosene; never oil
them. If your brakes squeal, that can
be stopped by removing the wheels
and softening the linings with a file.
If the linings are worn down, have
new ones put in. Only an experienced
mechanic should Install brake lin
ings. Be sure your brakes are adjust
ed properly. If they drag they wear
quickly and unnecessarily; if they
are too loose they won't act quickly.
Automobile brakes have a definite
relation to safety.
Watch those brakes! Keep out of
trouble; keep out of jail.
