of uniformity in building regulations
of different cities in the same local

Stineman of Chicago, in an ad
dress before the annual convention
of the Nebraska league of munici
palities. He said the league can perform
service of lasting benefit to Ne
braska cities by sponsoring prepera
tions of modern building regulations.
4 Jeatures, of. Grand Jsland's build
ing code were outlined by Mayor O.
A. Abbott, jr. They indued a sys
tem of records that shows how much
construction and repair work has
been done in a year, regulations gov
erning all buildings, sanitation, and
regular inspection of all structures.
Mayor Abbott advocated a similar
cade for other cities in the state.
A resolution urging the governor
and legislature of Nebraska to pass
a law authorizing the survey of wa
ter resources in the state and pro
viding funds for carrying the recom
mendation into effect, was adopted at
the closing session of the league.

Sent Letters of
Commendation
Six Married Pedagogs Who Retire
at End of Present Year are
Praised for Their Ability
The following letter has just been
sent to six married ladies who have
held teaching positions in the Platts
mouth schools for the past number of
years, but who under a recent ruling
of the Board of Education become in
eligible for re-election after the
close of the present term.
It will be remembered that the
ruling which was made some time
ago, forbade the hiring of any new
married women teachers and set the
date for its application to those al
ready serving in that capacity as
September 1. 1929.
Following is the copy of the let
ter, which was signed by all members
of the school board, to-wit: Frank L.
Cummins, president; Frank A. Cloidt,
secretary; H. F. Goos, E. A. Wurl
and Mrs. John F. Gorder:
"The board of education wish to
take this means of thanking you for
the years of faithful service which
you have given as a teacher in the
Plattsmouth public schools. We want
it thoroughly understood that failure
to retain your services is in no way
to be construed as a reflection upon
your character, or the efficiency of
your teaching, both of which are held
in high esteem by the board and
community alike.
"We have been mindful however,
and assume that you have as well,
of a growing dissatisfaction in the
community with the policy of the
board of education in retaining mar
ried women on the instructional
staff of our public schools while well
qualified young teachers are unable
to secure employment due to the
present surplus of teachers. There
fore, feeling that the time had ar
rived when this growing sentiment
ought not longer be disregarded, the
board modified its policy on March
5, 1928, which action was reported
to you at the time.
"However, in order to give aeh
teacher affected time to make suitable
adjustments, the board decided to
make the new ruling effective as of
September 1, 1929. No personal feel
ing whatsoever toward any teacher
is involved in this changed policy of
the board." Respectfully yours.
Board of Education.
Return of
Convict Labor
- is Proposed
Representative O'Gara of Cedar
Would Lessen the Burden of
Expense on Taxpayers
Representative O'Gara of Cedar
county introduced two bills in the
house Friday providing for return
of convict labor on roads and for
manufacture of number plates and
road markers at the penitentiary by
inmates. The last named bill, simi
lar to one introduced at a previous
session, carries an appropriation of
$25,000 for purchase of machinery,
equipment and installation.
Two years ago, according to the
introducer, the state was required
to pay out something like $86,000
for the care of state prisoners in
county jails where they were kept
indefinitely because of lack of room
in the penitentiary.
H. R. Co. convict labor bill, pro
vides that whenever the state or
any county shall be engaged in the
construction of any road or other
public work, the board, department
or commission charged with con
struction of such work may certify
to the state board of pardons re
quest for such number of men as
may be used in such construction.
If the board of pardons shall deem
it advisable and there are men in
the penitentiary or reformatory
trust worth', the board may direct
the warden to make such men avail
able. The department, board, com
mission or county engaged in such
public work may contract as to wages
to be paid.
H. R. 64, dealing with manufac
ture of number plates at the peni
tentiary or reformatory, includes
also road markers and signs required
by the department of public works.
Out of the fund appropriated for
road maintenance and administra
tion, the department of public works
shall pay each year to the board of
control the actual cost of manufac
turing such number plates, markers
and signs. The board of control shall
determine said cost and each year In
clude a reasonable depreciation of
machinery, and equipment as well
as expense of labor, material and
supplies.
WOMAN REGAINING SIGHT
Los Angeles, Jan. 10. Mrs. Thel

quor runners' revenge victim, who
was stricken blind here Sunday night
after she had taken drinks with

liquor at her apartment Saturday.
The friends who drank with her Sun
day were not affected. v
Mrs. Sanford and her siBter, Mrs.
Juanita Burns, obtained evidence
while working for the federal cus

SCORES MEN OF WES POINT-
AnnapoliB, Md.. Jan., 16. faj.
Enoch Garey. president of the United
States naval college, talking before
the navy club today, said that when
MaJ. Gen. Amos Frlea, head of the
chemical warfare service of the Unit
ed States army, denounced American
peace workers as traitors he revealed
a narrow Intolerance ot which the
United States military academy is in
part to blame.
President Garey, himself a grad
uate of West Point, based his criti
cism of West Point on lack of cul
ture subjects in the curriculum.
Without these, he said there 1b no
certainty that the graduate of WeBt
Point will possess the qualities of
human understanding and tolerance.
He branded as "nonsense the de
fense of West Point that there is no
time for teaching literature, phil
osophy and the social sciences.

Surgetra General Ctuiuning Unable to
Be Present Doctor Denes
Condition Serious
Washington, Jan. 10. Public
health officials and scientists from all
over the United States mobilized
here today for an attack on influenza
which for several wteks has been
spreading over the country.
They gathered, however, without
the presence of the commander in
chief. Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum
ming, who called for the mobilization
only to find himself afflicted with the
disease and unable to be on hand
when the session began.
At the outset of the Meeting As
sistant Surgeon General Draper, pre
siding for Dr. Cumming, appointed
three committees on epidemiology,
prevention and research to eumraar
ize the deliberations and report
them in a form which may be dis
tributed to the public for informa
tion. While public health officials for
several weeks have been issuing re
ports on the prevalence of the dis
ease in many parts, of the country,
the session was only a few hours
old when Dr. G. H. Gigelow, , state
health officer of. Massachusetts, start
led the gathering with the announce- 1
ment that in ins opinion no influenza
epidemicf .existed. . y
Says Report Exaggerated.
He declared that he was tired of
reading newspaper accounts a bout
the supposed, epidemic, and said that
graphs ahdvchartB. which have been
issued, are' nothing more than reports
on the panic of the nation.
Dr. Cnmming in a message read
to the session reiterated a recent
warning .by the public health serv
ice that a more severe epidemic
might follow the present outbreak.

Victims Not Made Immune.'
He said'lhe studies made public
health officials of the 1J1S epidemic
were the first complete reports that
had been available. One salient fact
was brought by this study, he said,
was that an attack of influenza ap
parently did - not r'ertder the victim
immune, to later, attacks. This, he
added, was shown by the large num
ber, of persons' who were attacked
mlwth the 19IS and the 1920 epi-J

ON FAR2S RELIEF
Washington, Jan. 10. The de
claration that congress can look for
"stronger" farm relief legislation re
commendations from. President-elect
Hoover than are provided in the Mc
Nary bill before the senate was made
today by Senator Brookhart, repub
fican, Iowa.-
Senator Brookhart is one of those
who have conferred here with. Mr.
Hoover. Without stating that any
definite farm program was discussed
at the Hoover conference, Senator
Brookhart declared today that he was
certain the president-elect was pre
pared to "go a long way" on farm
legislation.
He 6aid he understood Hr. Hoover's
ideas to be more liberal than the
privisions of the McNary bill. He
had no idea that the president-elect
has a definite bill in. mind which he
would prsent tothe neyt congress.
The Iowa senator is one of those
demanding that farm relief legisla
tion be deferred until the extra ses
sion, which had been promised by
Mr. Hoover in the event this con
gres to act.

Short Sections.
The senate adjourned until Mon
day afternoon and the house until
tomorrow. The introduction of bills
was the only business to come before
the bodies.
Senator A. B. Woofi Of Gerinfc, in
troduced what he believe to be a
"model automobile driver's license
bill." It provides for the licensing
of all motor vehicle operators in the
state.
A fee of 75 cents would be charg
ed for a license which would be good
for as long as a person remained a
restident of the state. The license
would be revoked upon violation of
state, county and municipal traffic
regulations. The length of tim a li
cense would be revoked would de
pend upon the seriousness of the vio
lation. For Safer Driving
Any person over 16 years of ap"
and not totally blind or deaf would
be eligible to a license, providing
that one year prior to application,
they had not been convicted ct vio
lation of liquor or narcotic laws or
had not been under sentenoe for a
felony.
Senator Wood said he thought the
bill would go a long way toward
making the streets and highways
.safe, especially eliminating drunken
and drug-crazed drivers.
