During 19?!, from January 1 to
October 1, Z'.il alarm were turned
In, against 1.693 alarm during the
same period In 1922,
According to Fire Chief Salter, the
losses thla year have been running
allKh'ly lower than 1921 even though
nior alarm have been turned In.
Fire I.oses Inrreaiie.
However, th chief atatea that dur
ing th winter month th losses
always Increaae, due to the fact that
fewer peraon are on th at reel a and
often fire ere not reported until
they have gained considerable head
way; and due to the fact that the
farting of furnnr fire and heating
plnnt In residencoa and buildings
always cuusee a great number of
fire.
- Consequently th chief urge that
all citizen take extra precaution dur
ing the coming month.
Every owner of building and busi
ness Institution ahould make lnspec
tlon of hi premise and should see
to It that there 1 no accumulation of
rubbish or waste mater'.nl, and that
a complete equipment of fire ex
tinguisher are kept In working
order.
Shingle roof are also the cause of
many fire and the chief regard this
matter aa on of th most Important
of all.
Only by close oo-operatlon on the
part of every citlcn can the splendid
record mnlntained by tho Omnha fire
department be maintained throughout

tem. Thl committee demand reten
tion of th budget system and th ret
pott deal favorably with practically
every department Investigated.
Home question and answer con
ta'ned In th pamphlet follow:
Q. If the code law wer repeab-d
what would follow?
A. Th state would have to revert
buck to the old board and commission
form, with all its wast and Ineffi
ciency and It adaptability for po
litical machine purposes.
Q. Of how many of th former
board and commissions was th gov
ernor a member?
A. He wa either a member of a
board or the head of a commission In
15 of the 2 agencies abolished. Of
th remaining agencies, he had the
entire appointive power, with only
one exception.
Kecrelarlea Are "Appointed.
Q. Who appoint the code secre
taries? A. The governor, with the con
sent of both house of the legislature.
t. Doee the governor have moro
appointive power under the code than
before?
Ji. No, he ha less. Whereas he
made all the appointment In 11 of the
department that were under the old
system, and wu a member of tho
board that made the appointment In
15 oiher activities, h now only ap
point the six ecretarle under the
code and these secretaries, in turn
by constitutional provision), make
all the appointment In each of their
department.
Q. Is there any duplication of work
between the constitutional offices and
the code departments?
A. No. Th dutle of the constitu
tional officers are largely ministerial.
though some of them do have police
und law enforcing powers, while the
duties of the code department have
to do almost wholly with the adminis
tration and enforcement of laws that
were enacted without reference to the
dutle of the constitutional offices and
for which the governor was largely
held responsible before the .code went
Into effect.
Q. Is the coda responsible for the
inspectors in the variou departments.
A. It is not. These Inspectors,
whose employment was authorized
by one legislature after another, near
ly all existed before tho code went In
to (Te-t, and, considering the amount
of work don, are now feer In num-l-er.
y What I th relation of th code
tu the executive builget?
A. Through the depaiiment of fi
nance ci fated by the code, th gov
ernor 1 able to saercls absolute con
trot over expenditure, and 111 Inclu
ion of an executive budget in the
new constitution enabled lb legisla
ture to give him the power to keep ail
spending agencies within the appro
priation. Th code department of
f.niinc 1 a necessary part of this
system since It gathers the f ict uud
ruurcs upon Hhich th governor act,
Has Saved Money.
U. What hag been th effect of thl
bU'lgstury control?
A. At the end of the fust year it
mad It possible for the governor to
uall the legislature In special session
ind tu point out how appropriation
could b reduced over flt.UVU.VUV Thl
enabled the lowering of stats taxe a
third for 1922, or f3.Skil.VV0. Under
it no deficiencies, such a marked pre
vious udmlnlstratluns, are possible.
Q. How are code employe secured?
A. Iiy a system in which com
petency and merit ar th principal
feature, Under th old bourd and
commission plan place wur awarded
on th basis of political pull.
y. Whut checking of houi i done?
A. A full eight-hour working day 1
secured by requiring ull employes, In
office and In the field, to lgn dully
working slips, giving time to Hoik and
to lunch and the tlm of P-avlng.
Thl afford a complete check.
Q. What has been the effect of the
code upon the standardization of
sa larfes?
A. I'rlor to the adoption of the code.
there was little relation between th
dtule performed and the pay received
by the employe of the variou boards.
When the code wa Inaugurated, a
salary standardization plan wa adopt
ed that provide for standard title of
position and uniform salaries for the
same claa of work. It fixe a mini
mum salary rate, with advancement
to a higher rate at specified time and
promotion from a lower to a '.llgher
crade of service upon the recom
mendation of the department head.

cal machine building?

of your shoe sags?
And when the arch of your

But your arch cannot fall
when you are wearing this
wonderful new shoe. For there
is a bridge of steel to carry the

The miracle of this shoe,
however, is, that even though
it has a bridge of steel, the
arch is as flexible as the arch of
a bed room slipper. For down
right comfort there's never been
a shoe to equal it.

Constantinople, Sept. 30. (By A. P.)
Wireless dispatches to the American
embassy and reports received by The
Associated Press from Smyrna, Salon
Iki, Rodosto nnd the islnnds of Mlty

of refugee are In danger of perish
ing if assistance does not arrive
promptly.
Conservative estimates' place the
number of eurTerer at 400,000. The
Greek revolution ha resulted In utter
administrative chao and a complete
breakdown of all the normal processes
of life. A message from the Amer
ican relief worker on the Island of
Mltylene says:
"The situation Is desperate. Refu
gee crazed by hunger ar throwing
themselves Into the eea. There I no

ALTHOUGH one is apt to regard
furniture as the most important
factor in the furnishing of a room, it
may be said that the treatment of
the floors and windows is hardly
secondary, for upon the appropriate
and artistic character of the rugs and
draperies, largely depends the gen
eral success of the furnishing scheme.
Successful window hangings and
floor coverings depend largely not
upon the cost of the materials as
much .as upon appropriate selec
tion. In addition 'to meeting your re
quirements along these lines, we are
prepared to assist you to most ad
vantageous selections by affording
you the benefit of our experience
and wide knowledge of these mat
ters, which we freely offer.
