"GIRL SCOUTS" TO
' SOLVE GREAT PROB
LEM OF COUNTRY
National Organization Will Take on
the Work of Reaching Thousands
of Girls Over the Conntry.
NoTember 16th is Girl Scout Sun
day. On that day pirls in khaki in
cities and towns all over the coun
try will inarch to church in groups.
Special sermons, based on the ten
Girl Scout laws, have been prepared.
Girl Scouts in New York will at
tend three services. More than 1,000
Catholic girls will march to the nine
o'clock services at St Patrick's Cathe
dral. Patrick Cardinal Hayes will
speak. At eleven o'clock the Hebrew

Portugese Synagogue, 70th street
and Central Pork West. Dr. Desola
Pool will preach. At 3:30 in the
afternoon the Protestant service will
be held at the Broadway Tabernacle,

The text for the services will be
taken from the Girl Scout laws
which are:
A Girl Scout's Honor is to be
trusted.
A Girl Scout is Loyal.
A Girl Scout's Duty is to be use
ful and to help others.
A Girl Scout is a friend to all and
a eister to every other Girl Scout.
A Girl Scout is courteous.
A Girl Scout is a friend to animals.
A Girl Scout obeys orders.
A Girl Scout is cheerruT.
A Girl Scout is thrifty.
A Girl Scout is clean in thought,
word and deed.
That it is the play hours of a
child's day that count most in de
veloping both physique and char
acter, and that it is the right of
childhood to grow in stature and
In wisdom is the theme that has been
suggested by leaders of the Girl
Scout movement and sent out to
clergymen all over the country.
"The majority of homes lack the
facilities, means and understanding
necessary for providing a child with
the wholesome outlets It should
Lave," they say.
"All about us we see the wrecks
of young lives, which could have
been saved if parents had had the
right kind of resources In dealing
with recreational problems. Of the
country's delinquent girls, fifty-four
per cent are under seventeen years
of age. Suppressed childhood, bad
environment and limited opportun
ity are the causes of the down-grade.
"If there is one social crime for
which there is no forgiveness, it
Is the neglect of youth. In behalf
of boys, fine organizations have been
developed, of which we may be
proud. We are Just coming to realize
how all-important it is to organize
in behalf of the girls also.
The Girl Scout organization was
formed to meet this need. Already
over a half-million adolescent girls
have enjoyed its wholesome, char
acter building program.
"Health is the first of a young
glrl' rights. The girls of today are
the mothers of tomorrow, and sickly
mothers and puny babies are the
results of unhealthy abnormal girl
nood. "Home-making Is a gome every
frirl loves to play if she has a chance.
Te Girl Scout organization teaches
home nursing, child nursing, cooking
and sewing.
" Another right of girlhood is
to see the beautiful and learn to
love It. When the yearning for it
is crushed the soul begins to die.
'Teen age girls are highly sensitive
to beauty. Scout music, pageantry,
plays and folk-lore afford a chance
for beautiful expression, and trans
form adolescent sentimentality into
a healthy appreciation of beauty.
"A girl must grow in favour with
God and man. She must be prepared
to take her part in human society.

RAILROAD TO HAVE
TRUCK
LINES
The Union Pacific railroad may, in
the near future, enter the business of
transporting freight by motor truck
throughout Nebraska.
Such was the statement of Charles
Lane, general freight agent of the
railroad in Omaha, made Wednesday,
"There are no definit plans for
such an action under way at the
time," Mr. Lane said. "None of the
officials are meeting and considering
the question at all but it is in the air
and the project is in the minds of
all of the officials at least.
"The time will come when we
must do it.
"The time is also coming when the
auto trucks will be forced to pay for
the use of public highways as the
motor busses are forced to pay to
day. The heavy trucks need good
roads and should pay for them."
HILL DECLARED
NOT GUILTY IN
DRY LAW TEST
Jury Rules Manufacture of Light
Wines in Home No Violation
of Volstead Act.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 13. After
20 hours of deliberation the jury in
the case of Congressman John Philip
Hill charged with violating the Vol
stead law, brought in a verdict of
not guilty on all six counts of the
indictment.
Haggard and drawn, the jurymen
who were charged by Federal Judge
Morris E. Soper to determine whether
or not wine and cider, admittedly
manufactured by Congressman Hill,
was "intoxicating in fact," filed out
at 10 o'clock today and exonerated
Hill on all counts of the indicment
charging him with violating the dary
law. The announcement, which was
received by a crowd that extended to
the corridors, was greeted with an
outburst of enthusiasm.
To Propose Bill.
Hill immediately said he would
use the trial and the ruling of Judge
Soper to propose a bill in the legis
lature to legalize the sale of light
wines and beer.
At the termination of the three
day hearing. Judge Soper had charg
ed the jury to disregard the two
extremes in definitions of intoxica
tion which had been couchsafed in
the testimony.
Judge Soper also had ruled that
the 1 per cent clause in the Volstead
act does not apply to home bever
ages and the jury was ordered to de
termine khether reasonable amounts
of Hill's wine and cider would in
toxicate. Judge Soper had gone to great
length to impress the importance of
the case upon the jury. He said the
fact, borne out by the evidence, that
the defendant had been active in
connection with the" dry law, should
be left out of consideration.
The trial was the result of de
liberate campaign on Hill's part to
force court action and test the valid
ity of section 29 of the Volstead act,
which he said, was discrimination in
favor of the farmer against the city
j man in he manufacture of cider.
I Washington. Nov. 13. Congress-
man John Philip Hill's "home-brew
j victory" won before a jury in a Balt
J imore federal court will not result in
any change in the present policy of
the prohibition department to ferret
out and prosecute home-brewers who
exceed the legal alcholic limit in
. their brewing, it was asserted today
by department officials.
From the attitude of the Depart
ment of Justice and the prohibition
bureau, it appeared that Hill the de
cision will be to all intents and pur
poses "ignored" by the prohibition
enforcement authorities.
Attorney General Stone said it was
extremely unlikely the government
would take any appeal in the case.
DIRECTS UNIONS'
MEN TO TESTIFY
Judge Wilkerson Orders Lail Chiei3
to Appear Before the Labor
Board as Bequested.
Chicago, Nov. 14. Federal Judg
Wilkerson, who recently granted a
petition of the United States rail
road labor board to compel testi
mony before it, yesterday entered a 1
order directing D. B. Robertsor.
president of the Brotherhood c "
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemeu
to appear before the board and tes
tify. Counsel for Mr. Robertson im
mediately gave notice of an appei.1
to the United States Supreme court.
The appeal of Robertson will de
lay final decision in the controversy
as to the board's power to compel
testimony, but Weymouth Kirkland,
counsel for the labor board, plans to
expedite a hearing.
I The dispute originally arose over
the failure of western railroads and
representatives of the engine serv
ice brotherhoods to agree on wages
and working rules and when the
I labor board took jurisdiction, rep
resentatives of the employes refused
Uo testify, disputing the right of the
board to compel testimony and de
claring the board was a partial tri
bunal. Judge "Wilkerson on the board's
petition held that its right to appeal
to the Federal courts included the
right to compel testimony.

PROHIBITION DI
RECTOR THOMAS
TO IGNORE RULE
Made in Decision of Federal Judge
Soper in Hill Case "Ruling
Of a Wet Judge."
Elmer Thomas, federal prohibi
tion enforcement officer for Nebras
ka, firmly announced yesterday that
any liquor made in his territory,
whether at home for home use only,
or in a bootlegger's still for sale, is
illegal if it contains more than one
half of 1 per cent of alcohol by vol
ume, in spite of the ruling by Fed
eral Judge Soper at Baltimore Tues
day, that home-brew could contain
any amount of "kick," just eo it was
not "intoxicating in fact."
"That's just the ruling of a wet
judge in a wet territory," said Mr.
Thomas. "It will have no effect here.
It is the old game of the wets, but
thev have been losing all along the
line."
No one with hope in his breast
has inquired at the prohibition of
fice for a ruling in line with that at
Baltimore, said Mr. Thomas, and he
anticipates none.
"The wets want to emasculate the
constitution," Mr. Thomas asserted.
"The Volstead act doesn't prohibit
the manufacture of malt, spiritous
and vinous liquors like our state
law; it prohibits intoxicating liquor
and defines it as containing more
than one-half of one per cent of al
cohol.
"If that definition were done away
with, in every case we would have
to prove that the liquor was intoxi
cating, and it would be almost im
possible. Only in wet territory can
Ithey get away with decisions like
that.
"Their goal is beer with 5 per cent
(alcohol and wine with 15 to IS per
i cent alcohol. But they can't get
away with it in dry territory."
Judge Soper's opinion could only
be used in argument here, and would
have no weight with a federal judge
in this district, except as a citation,
according to Thomas. Federal judges
all over the land have adhered strict
ly to the one-half of one per cent
definition of intoxicants, and will
probably continue to do so.
Federal Judge Woodrough is in
Sioux Falls, S. D., and comment from
him could not be obtained.

OLD IDEAS EXPLODED
In a recent article, Mr. A. S. Ack
erman disposes of Bome old ideas,
and declares as follows:
Cancer is not hereditary.
Sulphur and molasses are not good
for children in the spring, or at any
other time.
Linseed poultices depend for their
value entirely upon their heat; the
linseed has no effect.
Mild winters do not necessarily fill
the graveyard, but are more health
ful than severe ones.
What is often supposed to be
"healthful ozone" at the seashore is
often only the smell of decayed sea
weed. Ozone does not exist at a
lower altitude than 8,000 feet above
sea level.
Gas stoves are not unhealthful,
neither do they dry the atmosphere
unduly.
Owls do not avoid daylight, and
cats do not see any better at night
than do other animals.
Ostriches do not bury their heads
in the sand, and a beaver does not
use his tail as a trowel.
Alligators do not attack man, but
crockodiles do.
GAS PRICE ADVANCES

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 13. Retail
prices for gasoline in Lincoln will
be advanced tomorrow from 12x2 to

nouncement tonight by L. L. Coryell,
who conducts a number of stations'
here and in other towns of the state, j
, Coryell said the advance was the
result of an increase in the whole
sale price.
J. R. Ferris, purchasing agent for
the state finance department, which
buys supplies for state filling sta
tions here, said he had advices from
twenty-eight cities and towns where
the price had recently been ad-
J vanred.
TWO MEN HAD PART
IN KILLING OF KATZ
Positive Testimony Given by a
Woman at Inquest On Remains
of Murdered Man.
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 14.
Two persons, and not a single
handed killer, were implicated in
the slaying here last Monday of
Harry Katz. a diamond broker, anti
quarian and musican, according to
the testimony at the inquest here
today of Mrs. R. B. Dexter, niece of
Katz' apartment house manager. The
inquest verdict was death from gun
shot wound inflicted by unidentified
persons with murderous intent.
Mrs. Dexter positively declared
that she heard the footsteps of two
men coming down the stairs after
she heard the shot fired that ended
Katz' life. She said she went to the
door of her aunt's apartment on the
floor below that on which the Katz'
apartment was located and saw the
street door closing behind the feet
of the pair in flight.
Immediately afterward. Mrs. Dex
ter testified, Katz staggered down
the stairs into her aunt's apartment,
where he died a few moments later
without revealing the names of his
assailants. Before the shot was fired
on the floor above, the witness said,
she distinctly heard a scuffle.
Dorothy Carroll, wife of a bar
ber, Charles E. Carroll, wlio is be
ing held by the police in .connec
tion with the slaying, appeared at
the inquest accompanied by her at
torney after police had searched the
city to question her a second time
in regard to the affair.
Carroll, who is separated from
his wife and his roomate. Earl H.
Bridges, were taken into custody
last night when a ?2 calibre pistol,
the same size as that which fired
the bullet which killed Katz, was
found in Carroll's room.

C TT A Pt.nHM,Min1 n
sweeping uuseis iiiaxaiirii.cu ooi
Rumors Without Foundation
No Tax Changes.
Washington. Nov. 14. Reports
of sweeping changes in the cabinet
were characterized today at the ;
White House as rumors and without
foundation. It was announced there
earlier in the week that only Secre
tary Davis of the department of la
bor had indicated to the president
he wished to retire after next March
4.
The administration does not fel
that the question of tax reduction
should be taken up until the govern
ment's books are balanced at the
close of this fiscal year, which ends
next June 30. Until that time it is
the opinion of President Coolidge
that the actual amount of reduc
tion possible cannot be determined
and scientific action is thus impos
sible. Meanwhile the president has no
intention of calling a session of the
new congress March 4. It was stated
today at the White House he would
not call a special session unlea; hp
considers it very necessary.
Taxation, the president feels,
should Tie among the first problems
to be considered by the new con
gress, which, if not called into ex
tra session, will meet for the first
time in December, 1925. Mr. Cool
idge expects such farm legislation
as is necessary to be enacted at the
coming short session of congress.
The McNary-IIaugen farm relief
bill will not be pressed for enact
ment at the next session of congress,
Senator McNary of Oregon, co-author
of the measure, said today, upon his
return to Washington.
Senator McNary said he still be
lieved in the bill as a fundamental
principle of legislation, but felt that
the emergency it was designed to
meet had passed. Conditions of dis
tress among farmers had been large
ly relieved, he said, except for cattle
raisers who could not be assisted by
the bill. He predicted that if the
present increased price of wheat,
corn and hogs is maintained for the
nxt year or two the farmers will
extricate themselves from any fur
ther difficulty.
He also predicted that no diffi
culty would be found in the short
session in the passage of the second
deficiency bill, carrying appropria
tions for a number of reclamation
projects. This bill failed of passage
in the last session.
Des Moines. Nov. 14. Congress
man Haupen, co-author of the Mc-Nary-Haugen
farm relief measure,
expressed disagreement with Senator
McNary of Oregon when informed
today that the Oregon senator be
lieved the chief agricultural emer
gency had passed and that for that
reason the bill would not be pressed
for passage in the new congress.
Senator Brookhart declared he
agreed with Congressman Haugen,
that the emergency had not passed
and the condition of the farmer re
quired early attention of congress.
BORAH IS ADVOCATE
OF AN EXTRA SESSION
To Take Up World Court. Farm and
Railroad Legislation and Pos
sibly Tax Revision
Washington, Nov. 13. An extra
session of the new congress soon af
ter next March 4 was urged today
by Senator Borah, republican, of
Idaho, who said he thought farm
and railroad measures, as well as the
world court proposal and perhaps
tax relief, should be taken up at
that time.
The Idaho senator voiced his opin
ion after a call on President Cool
idge, but said the legislative situa
tion was not discussed at their con
ference. Administration officials who
are close to the present, indicated
yesterday that he had no present
plan for the calling of a special ses
sion. Senator Borah believes that little
in the way of general legislation
will be accomplished at the coming
snort session which is to be devoted
largely to work on appropriations.
He regards a delay until the regular
meeting of the new congress in De
cember of next year as unnecessary
and unwarranted.
As a result of the death of Sena
tor Lodge, Mr. Borah is in line for
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, which is charged with
chief responsibility for action on the
world court proposal. He said today
he had no specific plan for such ac
tion but thought the question should
be brought up and disposed of one
way or another.
Senator Borah said he told the
president he believed the republican
party should "legislate as close to
the election returns as possible" and
for that reason, if it were possible,
immediate steps should be taken
even at the short session of congress,
for enactment of farm relief, legisla
tion, revision of transportation laws
and the development of reclamation
projects.
The president agreed with him. the
Idaho senator said, that the report
of the fact finding commission on
reclamation should be adopted. This
commission was appointed by the in
terior department and has suggested
appropriations for a number of de
velopments. An opinion contrary to that of
Mr. Borah was expressed by Repre
sentative Burton, republican, Ohio, .
another u hite house caller, who said
he saw no necessity for an extra ses
sion and believed that in addition
to the appropriation bills, such farm
measures as are necessary can be
passed at the short session. Mr. Bur
ton discussed the question briefly
with the president.
In connection with the extra ses
sion proposal, Mr. Borah said he be
lieved the commission appointed to
recommend farm relief measures
would have ample time to report by
next March 4.
Senator Borah placed himself on
record as against efforts to "read
out of the party," republicans who
had associated themselves with the
La Follette movement in the recent
election.
He declared they "should be read
in," adding "the main question is
whether La Follette wants to come
into the party."
"He may not wish to come in,"
he said.
FRANK P. CQRRICK
WANTS CLERKSHIP
Dr. Bass Not an Applicant
George Liggett Being Pushed
For Bank Eoard.
Frank P. Corrick of Lincoln, who
was in charge of the organization
and work of Coolidge and Dawes
clubs in Nebraska during the late
campaign, is a candidate for his
old position as chief clerk of the
Nebraska hous in the coming leg
islative session and has already se
cured a number of pledges from elee
ed house members for their support.
Dr. T. W. Bass, secretary of the
republican state committee, is not
a candidate for either chief clerk of
the house nor secretary of the senate,
although his name has been men
tioned for both places. It is expected
that Dr. Bass will receive one of the
major appointments under the rev;
state administration, either on the
board of control or as the head of
one of the code departments.
Mr. Corrick may later on receive
some federal appointment, but tihs
probably will not be until after
President Coolidge is re-inaugurated
on March 4. In the interim, his
legislative experience and acquaint
ance will doubtless give him the in
side track for chief clerk of the house
in legislature. The session will be
two-thirds gone before the national
administration begins its new term.
Liggett Urged for Banking head.
George Liggett of Utica. a well
known Nebraska banker and former
member of the legislature, is bein?
pushed to the front by some of the
men engaged in that line of busi
ness, for appointment as the new
head of the state banking admin
istration. He has not as yet signi
fied that he desires the place. Lig
gett is a young man and is looked
upon as good material.
Charles H. Randall of Randolph,
who was the republican nominee for
governor in 19 22, is another whose
name has been suggested for the
supervisory position over state
banks. His capability is generally
recognized. The fact that he has
been in business as a national bank
er, though not at the present time,
might weigh against his appoint
ment. It is thought that Governor-elect
McMullen will consult Walter W.
Head of Omaha, treasurer of the
republican state committee, who
took a leading part in raising funds
for Nebraska campaign, and will be
guided largely by his advice in filling
this position.
Where Labor Job May Go.
There is said to be some prob
ability that Governor-elect McMul
len will pick a man from the rail
road brotherhood ranks to fill the
position of state labor commis
sioner, or labor secretary, and that
his choice will rest upon one of
those who assisted him in the late
campaign in behalf of McMullen,
after the state officials of these or
ganizations had joined In an en
dorsement of J. N. Norton, his dem
ocratic opponent.
There seems to be very strong
backing among good roads boosters
for the proposal to retain Engineer
Roy Cochran in charge of the pub
lic work department, which em
braces highways, irrigation and
water power. Mr. Cochran Is con
sidered to be an exceptionally able
official.
CHURCH CHOIR ON STRIKE
Washington, Nov. 14. Bobbed
hair members of the choir of Mt.
Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal
church, south, here, have gone on
strike against the term "bobbed
haired sissies" applied to them by
Rev. Burke Culpepper, a Memphis
evangelist.
After reciting a Bible story, the
Rev. Mr. Culpepper turned to the
choir and telling of the foibles of
the present day made the remark
which nettled several of the sing
ers. An indignation meeting was
held and according to one source,
at least, half of the female portion
of the choir have refused to con
tinue their service. The Rev. Wil
liam A. Lambeth, pastor of the
church, termed the incident a "tem
pest in a teapot" and declared only
two or three young women had re
frained from attendance. Mean
while the Rev. Mr. Culpepper, stick
ing to his guns, has opened a new
fusilade on bobbed hair, quoting
scripture to bear out his contention
that it is not in accordance with the
teachings of the bible.

ELEPHANTS IN A TANTRUM
Philadelphia, Nov. 13. Three
baby elephants, part of a vaudeville
net at a local theatre today, scored
such a smashing hit in private life
that their owner. Don Darrab of
New York, was held on $3 00 bail
pending repairs to certain parts of
the northeast section of Philadel
phia. The trio, confined at night in
a garage, took offense early today at
sounds from a balky motor car. They
snapped their chains and sallied
forth with the car owner leading the
procession at a hot pace.
Fragrant whins of breakfast be
ing prepared by Mrs. Anna Dam
more in her kitchen halted the ele
phant section of the parade and one
of the trio uprooted the Dammore
fence. Mrs. Dammore glanced out
her window and then, with three
young Dammores sought th roof.
The ele;,hant entered through the
back door, taking it with him.
"Babe." one of the runaways,
b"rned his trunk on the stove,
seized that article by it.s underpin
ning and upet it. The other ele
phants wrecked the ice box and
splintered the furniture. "Babe"
then headed an exodus from the
Dammore house.
