City to Operate
Under Home Rule
Within 60 Davs
Omaha No Longer Compelled
to Go to Legislature
for Changes in
Charter.
Oinuh will begin to function un
der it own home rule charter 60
days from Ut Tueday, when the
votert approved the existing charter
at a Dasu tor ine nome rule pun 01
lity government. In givinn thia ex
preotioTi at the primary Omaha took
advantage of a privilege extended by
the new atate constitution approved
in 1920.
Before the home rule charter be
romei the book of law for Omaha
the city clerk must file a certified
irny with the secretary of state and
i'lso file copy "in the archives of
the city of Omaha."
Law la Liberal
The effect of government by home
tule charter means that the city of
Omaha will not be required here
after to go to the legislature to have
the charter amended or modified.
Changes in the charter hereafter may
be accomplished by the city council
initiating proposals, or electors may
submit changes by filing petitions
containing not less than 5 per cent
of the gubernatorial vote at the last
preceding election. Whether the
council or electors initiate proposals,
they must be submitted to the voters
at a general or special election before
. they become part ot the charter.
. The law provides ftiat alternative
propositions may be submitted on the
same subject. For instance, if the
council submits an amendment, an
elector or electors may submit a
counter proposition if 5 per tent peti
tion accompanies the request The
law is liberal in allowing every
voter to have a voice in the develop
ment of the charjer.
Chance to Grind Ax.
"No charter or amendment shall
be adopted or repealed, except by ma
jority vote of electors," reads a sec
tion of the law.
Corporation Counsel W. C. Lam
bert believes the law so liberal on
the subject of home rule charter that
there may be opportunities "for per
sons with axes to grind to befuddle
the voters. He also is of the opinion
that a charter convention may be
called for the preparation of amend
ments to be submitted, but he' does
not anticipate this plan Mould be
favored. He agrees that the . pre
ferred plan would be for the council
or electors to submit amendments
as the exigencies of city government
require.

ANOTHER WHIRLIGIG.
"Appearing in the paper recent
ly," E. V. writes, "there was a letter
written to you by M. V. J. under
the title of "The Whirligig Woman,"
which interested nie greatly.
"Recently I was in close touch
with a' case almost parallel with (he
facts as stated by M. W. J.
"The woman in question was the
youngest of three daughters. The
cider daughter seems to be a pcron
of education and refinement. The
second has a disposition to which a
great' many people would take a dis
like sort of a cold-shouldered one.
Has one son who is not normal.
Divorced probably IS to 20 years
ago.
"The youngest daughter had a very
sick spell near the age of 15. I do
not know just what it was, but have
been told it was very serious and
recovery was doubtful and slow. She
was 37 last birthday.
"She was tricky, scheming all the
time in regards to paying her bills,
but was not what you would call
selfish rather careless in her habits
and way of doing housework. In
fact, fought with the neighbors
wherever she lived even her own
sisters and did not see the eldest for
11 years, and was not 'on speaking
terms with the other , sister at all
times. Her education was probably
two years high 'school. She did not
finish for her own reasons
"Was married twice daughter by
first hubsand and daughter by sec
ond. She was a good talker, and
could command a stranger's atten
tion, but could not hold anybody's,
friendship very long. She was very'
immoral in her talk, not only in the
home, but to the neighbors and out
siders. Had no consideration for
anybody's feeling, not even her own
child or husband's. Was very con
trary anr would want everything
done her own way, regardless of
whether right or wrong else there
was trouble.
"She had been arrested twice. First
time for her conduct, and second time
for striking a neighbor's child. Final
ly it gost so bad in the home that her
husband had ehr sent to the psycho
pathic hospital. When released after
three weeks' confinement, and one
week after her release turned the gas
on herself and daughter.
"Let me add mental tests showed
her to have a mentality of 11 years
and 11 months and a rating of 74.4.
j The behavior clmifiratidn was
I 'floater da.'H
! REPLY,
This woman was a 1.' year old mo-
1 ron.
In addition to her deficient men
tality khe had a diseased disposition.
Since a nephew is not normal, and
since it is more in keeping with the
condition, it i probable that her fee-hlc-mindcdncfs
was congenital rather
than the result of the illness in child
hood. Since she had a 12-ycar-old mind,
keeping in school during the later
years of the grades and the first two
years of high school was a waste ol
time and money.
Since her older sitter was peculiar
i' was probable that in this case
much of the diseased disposition was
inherited.
The very severe itinera at 15 might
have contributed, in that it inter
ruptedand otherwite interfered with
training.
The twists in personality and be
havior you mention are frequently
associated with feeble-mindedness.
I'erhaps this is becaure of the men,
tal limitations in great part.
Nevertheless, such cases are fairly
amenable to social training, if the
process is begun early.
Had the effort of her schooling
been to teach her book knowledge up
to the 12-year level, and to have put
the rest of the energy, thought, and
money expended on training her in
behavior, the result would have been
a far more satisfactory citizen.
Two Bran Recipes.
Mrs. M. S. writes: "What would be
your advice to a person who had to
take a . physic every day for four
years?
"I live too far from town to get
fre.h fruit and vegetables in win
ter. "I aked the advice of our doctor.
He told nil I should Rot be that way.
H aave me a few pills.

heard of an operation of the tpleen?
"2. Can one live without the
spleen?
"3. I this a reriou operation?
"4. 1 am a young man with an
enlarged ipleen and have been ad

A FLOWER TO EVERY VISITOR
The Piggly Wiggly Stores have been a pronounced success.
The Housewives of Omaha have evidenced, by their continuous,
patronage, their unqualified approval of the PIGGLY WIGGLY sys
tem. These stores have been visited by the society class the banker
class the wage-earner class and by the PLAIN American class all .
of whom have said that they liked the PIGGLY WIGGLY way that
they saved money that they find a most comprehensive assortment of
food,products of the best nationally known brands.
The locations of the above PIGGLY WIGGLY stores, which open t
Saturday were chosen because of repeated solicitations from those '
neighborhoods that we establish a PIGGLY WIGGLY store in that
part of Omaha.
The success of the PIGGLY WIGGLY store is no miracle not the
- result of skillful or sensational advertising, nor is it the result of any
experiment it is simply the outcome of eliminating extravagant and
unnecessary, service buying for CASH in tremendous quantities
' selling for CASH and expecting of all'customers the service of serv
ing themselves -a, sensible, practical system.
Under the PIGGLY WIGGLY system, the customers, instead of
being a dead load, become, and are part of the machinery of. service
and delivery, and save for THEMSELVES the cost of the service they;
render themselves you buy only what you want you select for your
selfyou see the SAVINGS that you .make by the plainly-marked
price tags on everything, and you estimate at a glance just how much
you have earned for yourself every time you visit and patronize
PIGGLY WIGGLY.
