Ask “If hat’s the News?” Many Minds. Many Answers. Wild Animals at Night. If the Prince Marries. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Try this experiment: Ask in dividuals of different sorts “What’s the news?” Some of last night’s answers: • Watson, the city editor: ‘ The Coit girl has been found (she was the center of a missing girl mys tery). That college boy murder is getting better every day. The legislature has found a way to kill the Mullan-Gage act anyhow." (That is the New York state prohi bition enforcement act.) Answer of the gay young man: “So-and-so won the ball game. They are going to have the ball game early and the Willard-Firpo fight late, so you can see botli the same afternoon.” The earnest young man answers: “Those fliers crossed from ocean to-occan without a stop, in less than than 27 hours, mending their engine as they flew, making sure of their location by sighting a graveyard below them in New Mexico. Other soldier fliers will try to make that trip in 14 hours.” The old man—rich: “The mar • ket is rather puzzling. I don't un derstand the way railroad stocks are acting, and bonds act strange ly, too—some of the good ones. There is no bad news. Americans must be getting frightened by their own prosperity.” The man of serious interests an swers: “Cuno, the ablest man in Germany, will probably drop from power. A bad thing for Ger many and the other countries. There is no *se discussing what will or may happen. “This big war was Ihe first fight among nations using science in bat tle and international finance. It's like a brand new kind of surgical operation tried on a dozen pa tients at once, and a very serious operation. No one can tell which, if any. of the patients will re-, cover.” The good old-fashioned woman: “Haven’t you heard the glorious news? President Harding will make his campaign on an abso lutely 100 per cent dry basis. No tampering with the rum evil, no evasion of the Volstead law. How glorious for our young men! And Mr. Ford will run on 100 per cent prohibition, of course, and so ev erything is all right.” The dear old lady forgets that if Harding and Ford should div.de the Volstead vote and some democrat run as candidate of all the wets, it might be a wet election. Each of us finds the news in his own thought. If the ball drops into zero on the roulette wheel, three times running, that’s the great news at Monte Carlo. If there’s a tnan to be hanged or elec trocuted next morning, that’s the news of the prison. One scientist has learned that animals in cages become wild again at night, stalking imaginary prey, and long to kill. That’s what hu man beings do, day by day, when a mob forms. They go back to the jungle. Another scientist, studying sleep, says it adds some mysterious sub stance to the brain cells. Lack of sleep takes away that substance, so does excessive fatigue.- Just what sleep does, no man knows. It’s probably like letting your en gine run while the car stands still. That gives your generator a chance to charge the battery. We charge the nerve battery in sleep. The generator runs while we are still. Two stories are printed about the prince of Wales. One is that he won’t marry and has offered to resign the throne and let his broth er, the duke of York, have it, be cause England wouldn't want an unmarried king. The other story, especially cabled to Frank Munsey, says the prince will wed a Belgian princess. What would come of such a mar riage, which is.not normally desired by the man or woman involved? A poor kind of a king would come of that marriage, probably. For the quality of the children de pends on the man's affection for his wife arid the woman’s respect for her husband. William the Conqueror was a real king and .a real conqueror. His father was the duke of Nor mandy. His mother was the daugh ter of a poor tanner. The duke saw her washing clothes in a brook and William the Conqueror was the result. The duke married her later on. A baseball man has played 1,000 games in succession, not missing one. That is wonderful, but other things are more wonderful. An old lady died, aged 116. Her heart got tired and stopped at last. Before it tired, thut wonderful en gine, never stopping day or night, had beaten 37,000,000 times every year, expanding and eontracting, supplying blond to the tfcidy de pending upon it. That means more than four thousand million heartbeats in one ifetime without a miss. That you might call a record. Bilt compared with celestial ma chinery that’s nothing. Every day for hundreds of millions of years, the earth has turned on its axis. Tt has travelled around th_> sun more than 552,000,000 miles, an nually, the sun meanwhile rushing through space, heaven knows where, dragging the earth with it. The earth hasn’t missed a single turn on its own axis or around the sun or made a mistake of a foot or an inch in its annual trip of mom than half a billion miles. That’s what you might call acruracy. Respect and trust the Power thut arranges it. (Comrmiii. mi.? Acreage of Corn Will Be Large Burlington Reports of Crop Conditions Over State Are Optimistic.

BURGESS. Drummer’s Fears Are Realized. Who tries to keep a secret may By loo much care give It away. —Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Drummer tile Woodpecker couldn't stop worrying about Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He couldn’t get Chat terer out of his mind. No. sir. do what he would, he couldn't get Chat terer out of his mind. The result was that he spent more time than ever in that maple tree in Farmer Drown s dooryard where his home was. If he went over to the Old Orchard he never remained long, but after a very short visit would hurry hack to that maple tree. Now, If he had stopped to think i about it he might have seen that this was the very worst thing he could do. Continually flying back to that maple tree was in reality giving his secret away. Those who noticed him guessed right away what i meant, and one of these was Chatterer the j Red Squirrel. On three different vis its to the Old Orchard Chatterer had I seen Drummer fly over to that maple tree. "Aha!" said Chatterer to himself. "Drummer seems very fond of that maple tree. There must be a reason. Yes, sir, there must he a reason. He cannot possibly And as much food i over there as he can find in the Old Orchard, so why does he keep going , back there? He has a nest there. That's it. he lias a nest, there. Prob ably there are eggs in that nest right now. My, how good they would taste! I must slip over and look that tree over early tomorrow morning. If I do not find a nest of eggs there I will be one surprised Squirrel." He licked his lips as he thought about those eggs. Ho very early the next morning, almost as soon as it was daylight. Chatterer the Red Squirrel left the Green Forest, scampered along the old stonewall on the edge of the Old Orchard, made sure that the way was clear in Farmer Brown's barnyard find then scurried across to the maple 1 tree to which he had seen Drum mer the Woodpecker fly so often. ! Now it happened that when Chat terer started up that tree only Mrs. Drummer was at home. Only a few moments before Drummer had left to get his breakfast. Chatterer knew exactly what to look for and where to lok for it. He wast ed no time, hut made straight for the dead stub of a branch half way up lha tree. He knew that if Drummer had a home in that tree it would be in that dead stub. Ho he wasn't in the least surprised when looking up 1 Sf H fA*t “\ha"!l said ( hatter to himself. "Driiiiiiner seems very fond of I list maple tree." from the foot of that stub be ssw ,'Ihove him the little round entrance to ‘Drummer's home, fp he climbed without a pause. Now, Mrs. Drummer, sitting on the < ggs In her home, had heard t'hnt tcrer's claws as he started to climb. 1 She had known at once what the i sound of those claws meant. She knew that Drummer's fears were re. all zed at last and lhat Chatterer was ; climbing that maple tree. Mrs. Drummer promptly did some climb | ,ng loo. She climbed up lo where | her head with Its stout, sharp bill was right opposite that entrance. There she waited, and In her eyes was a look which, If Chatterer could have seen It, would have made him very cautious Chatter had seen Drummer start for the Old Orchard, lie suspected that Mrs. Drummer might he over there also, hut of course he was not certain of this However, be didn't think much about Mrs, Drummer. Il<> knew that if h- could surprl-e tier he could easily kill her on the nest and so get the eggs. Chatterer counted on surprising her lie didn't count on being surprised himself.

CHAPTER IV\ The morning of the third day; Claude and the Virginian and the marine were up very early, standing In the bow, watching the Anchises mount the fresh blowing hills of wa ter, its prow, as it rose and fell, al ways a dull triangle against the glit ter. Their escorts looked like dream ships, soft and iridescent as shell in the pearl-colored tints of the morn ing. Only the dark smudges of smoke told that they were mechanical reali ties with stokers and engines. While the three stood there, u ser geant brought Claude word that two of his men would have to report at siek-call. Corporal Tannhauser had had such an attack of nose-bleed during the night thift the sergeant thought he might die before ho got it stopped. Tannhauser was up now, and in the breakfast line, but the sergeant was sure he ought not to be. This Fritz Tannhauser was the tallest man in the company, a Uermnn-Amerlean hoy who, when asked his name, usually said that his name was Dennis and that he was of Irish descent. Even this morning he tried to joke, and pointing to his big red face told Claude he thought he had measles. “Only they ain’t Ger man measles, lieutenant ” he insisted. Medleal inspection took a long while that morning. There seemed to be an outbreak of sickness on board. When Claude brought his two men up to the doctor, he told them to go below and get into bed. As they left he turned to Claude. "Give them hot tea. and pile army blankets on them. Make them sweat if you can.” Claude remarked that the hold wasn’t a very cheerful place for sick men. ”'l know that, lieutenant, hut there are a number of sick men this morn ing. and the only other physician on board Is the sickest of the lot. There's the ship's doctor, of course, but he's only responsible for the crew, and so far he doesn't seem interested. I've got to overhaul the hospital and the medical stores this morning.” "In there an epidemic of the same sort?” "Well, I hope not. But I'll have plenty to do today, ho I count on you to look after those two." The doctor was a New Englander who had joined them at Hoboken. He was a brisk, trim man. with piercing eyes, clean cut features, and grey hair just the color of his pale face. Claude felt at once that he knew his business, and ho went below to carry out instruc tions as well as he could. When he came up from the hold, he saw the aviator—whose name, he had learned, was Victor Morse— smoking by the rail. This cabin* mate still piqued his curiosity. "First time you've been up, isn't It?" The aviator was looking at the dis tant smoke plumes over the quiver ing. bright water. "Time enough I wish I knew where we are heading for. It will he awfully awkward for me If we make a French port " "I thought you said you were to report in France." "I am. But I want to report In London tirst." He continued to gaze off at the painted ships Claude no ticed that in standing he held his chin very high. His eyes, now that he was quite sober. were brilliantly young and daring: they seemed scornful of things about him He held himself conspicuously apart, as if he were not among his own kind. Claude had seen a captured crane, tied by Its leg to a hencoop, behave exactly like that among Mahalley's chickens: hold Its wings to its sides, jind move its head about quickly and glare. "1 suppose you have friends In London?" he disked. "Rather:” the aviator replied with , feeling. i.»o you like it better tnan raris *"I shouldn't imagine anything was much better than London. I've not been in Paris; always went home when I was on leave. They work us pretty hard. In the infantry and ar tillery our men get only a fortnight I Off in 12 months. I understand the Americans have leased the icivnra— recuperate at Nice and Monte Carlo. The only tTook s tour wo had win Gallipoli," he added gritnlv "Take qih* of mine. Mv brother went me two boxes just before w»* sailed. I ll put a W»x in vour bunk next time I go down. They're good ones." The young tnan turned and looked him over with surprise. "I say, j that's very decent of you! Yes. thank you. I will." Claude had tried yesterday, when ■ he lent Victor some shirts, to make him talk als>ut his aerial adventures, hut upon that subject he was as dose as a clatr.. lie admitted that th«* long ird scar cat his upper arm had been drilled by n sharpshooter from a Ger man Fokker, hut added hurriedlv that it was of no consequence as he had made n good landing. Now, on the strength of tic- cigars. Claude thought he would probe a little fur ther. lie aHked wnether there was anything In the lost trunk that couldn t be replaced, anything "valu able." "There's one thing that’s positively Invaluable; a Zeiss lens, in perfect condition. I've got several good pho tographic outfits from time to time, hut the lenses are always cracked by heat—the things usually coine down on tire. This one I got out of a plane I brought down up at Bar-li Due. and there's not a scratch on it; simply a miracle." "You get all the loot when you bring down a marhine, do you?” Claude asked encouragingly. "Of course. I’ve a good collection; alimenters and compasses and glasses. This lens I always carry with me, be cause I'm afraid to leave it any where.” "I suppose it makes a fellow feel pretty fine, to bring down one of those German planes.” "Sometimes. I brought down one too many, though; it was very un pleasant." Victor paused, frowningi But Claude’s open, credulous face was too rr.Ueh for his reserve. "I brought down a woman once. She was a plucky devil, tlew a scouting machine and had bothered us a bit, going over our lines. Naturally, we didn't know it was a woman until she came down. She was crushed underneath things. She lived a few hours and dictated a. letter her people. I went out and dropped it inside their lines. It was nasty business. I was quite knocked out. I got a fortnight's leave in Lon don. though. Wheeler,” he broke nut suddenly. "I wish I knew we were going there now!" "I'd like it well enougli if we were." ' Victor shrugged. “I should hope so!" He turned his chin in Claude's direction. "See here, if you like, I’ll show you London! It’s a promise. Americans never see it, you know. They sit in a Y hut and write to their Poliyannas, or they go round hunting for the Tower. I'll show you a city that's alive; that Is, unless you've a preference for museums.” His listener laughed. “No, I want to see life, as they say.” "Umph! I’d like to set you down in some places I can think of. Very well, I invite you to dine with me at the Savoy, the first night we're in London. The curtain will rise on this world for you. Nobody admitted who isn't in evening dress. The Jewels will dazzle you. Actresses, duchesses, all the handsomest .women in Europe.” "But I thought London was dark and gloomy since the war.” Victor smiled and teased his small straw-colored moustache with his thumb and middle linger. "There are a few bright spots left, thank you!” lie began to explain to a novice what life at the front was really like. No body who had seen 'service talked about the war, or thought about it; it was merely a condition under which they lived. Men talked about the par ticular regiment they were Jealous of. or the favored division that was put ir. for all the show- fighting. Every body thought about his own game, his personal life that he managed to keep going in spite of discipline; his next leave, how to get champagne without twying for it, dodging the guard, getting into scrapes with women and”gettlng out again. "Are you quick with your French?" he asked. Claurle grinned "N'ot especially.’ “You'd better brush up on It If you want to do anything with French girls 1 hear your M P.'s are very strict. You must he able to toe* the word the minute you see a skirt, and make your date before the guard gets onto you." "1 suppose French girls haven’t any scruples?” Claude remarked care lessly. Victor shrugged his narrow shoul ders. "I haven't found that girls have many, anywhere. When we Canadians were training in England, we all had our weekend wives. I be lieve the girls in Crystal I,ake used to he more or less fussy—but that's long ago and far away. You won’t have any difficulty.” When Victor was in the middle of a tale of amorous adventure, a little different from any Claude had ever heard. Tod Fanning joined them. The aviator did not acknowledge the pres ence of a new listener, but when he had finished his story, walked away with his special swagger, his eyes fixed upon the distance. fanning looked after him with d|s gust. “Do you believe him? I don’t think he's any sueh heart-smasher. I like his nerve, calling you ‘Eeften ant!' When he speaks to me he'll have to say Dootenant- or I'll spoil his beauty." That day the men remembered long afterward, for II was the gnd of the lino weather, and of tho-*■ first long, carefree days at sea. In the after noon Claude and the young marine, the Virginian and Fanning, sat to gether In the sun watching the water scia>p Itself out In hollows and pile itself up in blue, rolling hills. I'sher was telling his companions a long dory about the landing of the ma rines at Vera Crus. "It s a great old town, he con j eluded. "C»ne thing there I'll never forget Some '*f the nativ« * took n 1 few of its out to the old prison that stands on a ro< k In the sea.

Western School Will Be Closed Failure of Legislature to Ap propriate funds Ends Life of Irrigation College. Special Dispatch In The Omaha Bee. Scottshluff. Neb., May- 8.—Failure of the legislature to make specific appropriation for maintaining the school of Irrigation at Scottshluff means, that this institution, a branch of the state university and the only one of its kind in the country, will pass out of existence at the end of June. Since January. 1921, it has been teaching Irrigation engineering under the direction of Supt. T. Ii. Mc Carthy. Most of the pupils of the school, during Its two and a half years, have been exservice men taking vocational training under government assistance.
