Candidate Peeved at
Woman Voters' Queries
Balbao, July !. Candidates for
places on the city central commit
tees are contemplating with mingled
emotions the questionnaire sent out
by the League of Women Voters In
an, effort to "purify" municipal pol
itirs.
Circuit Court Clerk Nat Goldstein
involved in the Lowden presidential
campaign "slush fund," is particular
lv irritated. Some of the auestions.
he asserts, are insulting.
With the thermometer hovering
around 90 as the campaign grows
warmer, many of the candidates have
become wrathful. Here are the ques
tions the inquisitive women voters
wanted aniwered:
"State your true name
"Have you been imprisoned in the
city jail, workhouse or penitentiary?
Have you ever been arrested? If
so, for what?
"Have you ever been indicted or
charged with a felony or other
crime? If to, what?
"Are you skilled in the four funda
mental rules of arithmetic?
"Are you able to read and write
readily the English language?"
Four-Legged Chicken Is
Ostracised by Its Brood
Victoria, B. C, July 1. A quadru
ped chicken was included in a brood
which was hatched here by a hen
owned by Miss E. M. Smith.
All the legs are on the under side
of the body, and while all were well
formed the chick has a. difficult time
in maneuvering. In stopping to
scratch, for instance, the hind tegs
come off the ground, due to the ab
sence of knees in the forelegs.
The other chicks of the brood are
greatly puzzled at the freak and will
have nothing to do with it.

Prosperity Is
Shown in Loan
Firm Records
Assets of Omaha Building
and Loan Companies Grow
From $718,018 to $58,
000,000 in 25 Years.
By THOMAS J. FITZMORRIS.
Prosperity has a multitude of
favorites, a countless number of
energetic, enthusiastic, untiring and
plodding wooers. Chance favorites
are as skyrockets, flashing- for a
moment and then vanishing. "Lucky
strikes" are few beside the crowd
of failures in that 'quest for the
fabled "pot of gold." Where one of
the impatient for getting rich quick,
dashing from the sidelines of the
race, achieves an Eskimo pie for
tune, thousands of eager pursuers
fall by the wayside, unheralded ayid
unsuntr.
Real prosperity, the prosperity
that endures because it is tlie flower
ing of toil, honesty and square deal
ing, is that which is constructive and
uplifting, and directly benefits the
community as a whole. Measured
by that standard, co-operative thrift
stands forth as a prime favorite of
prosperity in Omaha.
Twenty-five yeara ago the build
ing, savings and loan associations of
Omaha and South Omaha, 11 in
number, reported on December 31,
1897, assets of $718,018.90. Today
the assets of 10 of the 12 associa
tions in Greater Omaha, in round
numbers, total $58,000,000. From
less than three quarters of a million
of assets at the close of 1897 to the
huge total on June 30, 1922. meas
ures a span of growth which chal
lenges other favorites of prosperity
to a show down.
Fiscal Year's Growth.
Assets of the associations of
Omaha at the close of the fiscal
year last Friday, and the distributed
earnings, averaging 6 per cent for
the past six months are as follows:

The . fiscal year increase in re
sourcs amounts to $6,000,000, com
pared with $4,000,000 during the pre
ceding fiscal year.
The six first named associations
were included in the state report of
December 31, 1897. Five more in
cluded in that ancient booklet have
since gone out of business. Six asso
ciations have been organized in Omi1
ha in recent years, three of them
within the past two years.
The quarter century record of
Omaha co-operatives is one of con
tinuous prosperity. Some years the
expansion of business has been so
great as to tax the physical and men
tal strength of the managers. Rarely
has an association suffered a decrease
in annual volume of business. At
the present time associations axe
moving forward at a steady, normal
pace, with growing resources ample
for the needs of Omaha's swelling
host of home buyers and home build
ers. '
The reasons why prosperity plays
the co-operatives as a favorite are not
far to seek. Every member shares in
the prosperity, and the doors are
open to all comers to share the pros
perity on equal terms. To those who
share it comes the satisfaction of
knowing that the combined savings
are employed in upbuilding Omaha
as a city of homes and home owners.
During the past six mnths the con
struction of single dwellings, meas
ured by city permits, increased 60
per cent over the same period of 1921.
Should this rate of construction con
tinue through the last half of the
year, the total will come close to 1,500

A woman's confidence in her Cadillac
is reflected in her deep peace of mind.
She approaches the car each day ab
solutely certain that it is the same
ready and reliable Cadillac it was the
day before.
As one owner happily phrases it, the
Cadillac is the car that one can think
in and not about. The beauty, the
comfort, the unparalleled gliding-
smoothness of the Cadillac will
ever rank high in the appreciation
of the owner. But we believe these
traits are surpassed in her esteem,
and their own charm heightened, by
her car's sure reliability.
The Cadillac owner achieves the
highest form of motoring enjoyment
because she is enabled to forget utterly
about the mechanism of her car.

Patriotie Influences of Homes.
Assisting home ownership lends to
the gospel of saving and striving a
most effective appeal, and is an un
failing magnet attracting thrifty peo
ple to these institutions. Home
ownership Is the visible expression
of thrift in its best form, and every
means employed in advancing owner
ship makes for family independence
artd stability, and the perpetuity of
American institutions. Addressing
a convention of association men in
Lincoln recently 1'resident Kennedy
of the United States National bank
emphasized this patriotic mission in
these words:
"It is not only a question of the
number of homes you help to build
(u your several communities. Look
beyond that to the boys and girls
who are born in those homes, who
cultivate home sentiment and form
home ties. These children go out
from these homes carrying with
them tender memories which will
cling to them all their lives. They
in tune found their own homes. Boys
and girls born and bred in hotels and
apartment houses have no home life
to look back upon, and no home
standards upon which to build for
themselves. They have been de
frauded of their birthright Out of
the thousands of homes that the
associations are helping to buiil tens
of thousands of children will go im
bued with the home spirit. It is
not so much what we are accomplish
ing today; it is what we hope to
accomplish tomorrow. We are try
ing to preserve the foundation on
which this government rests. God
grant that we may succeed."
"Dullard" Makes
$50,000 Invention
Head of Engineering College
Didn't Even Know In
ventor Pupil.
Cincinnati, (), July 1. George
Sperti, 23-year-old student at the
University of Cincinnati and regard
ed as a "hopelrte dullard by his
professors in the electrical engineer
ing department, quietly sold all
rights to a new type of electric meter,
hi invention, for JSO.MO,
Dean Hermann Schneider of the
collrae of engineering, has annuonc
ed this fact, declaring that Sperti,
who is working liio way through
school, perfected the invention and
sold it without confiding in anyone.
Schneider received a letter from
the company which purchased the in
vention congratulating him on turn
ing out pupil of the caliber of Har
old .sperti. lie did not know sperti
and investigated. When he asked a
professor in the electrical engineer
ing department who Harold Sperti
was. the professor replied:
"A hopeless dullard who is flunk
ing out in practically everything."
Dean Schneider wrote the com
fiany officials their reasons for the
etter of congratulation to him. Their
reply revealed for the first time that
Sperti had invented an entirely new
type of electrical meter and sold it
to them for $50,000.
Eiperts Explain How to
Judge Qualities of Egg
Washington, July I. Da ou
know how la tell the quality of an
egg without breaking the shell? It's
aa simple as blinking your ryrt, says
pepaiiment ol Agriculture expert.
All yon need, they say, is a paaie
board bo, with hole one and one
fourth inches in diameter, a strong
light such as is given by a lamp or
an electric light bulb, a dark room
and, of roitrae, the egg.
Hold the egg clo.e against the
hole, The strong light will render
its rontents vitible, and you ran as
certain the egg's quality by the an-
pearanre of the yolk, the white and
the air space at the blunt end. Then
compare the egg with charts fur
nished by the Department of Agri
culture and you will know, without
breaking the egg, whether or not it
is frrth,
Tins process is known as testing
