T oday George Eastman s Idea. Awake—Soon Asleep. Cigar Stub Prosperity. Poor Mr. Tagore. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v-y George Eastman, whose idea is to spend his money in Rochester for the benefit of the country that made him enormously rich, has added an opera school, to be paid for by him, of course, to the equip ment of the Rochester university. Generous scholarships enabling students to study abroad, and open to students in all American cities, were included in the program. To stimulate and encourage knowledge of music in this coun try is better than building a col lege stadium for athletics. Music is as far above football, baseball, or running as the brain is above the feet. For details address George Eastman, Rochester, N. Y. Senator La Follette, rejoicing in Magnus Johnson’s election, says: “The people are awake.” So they are, senator, but remember how easily the dear people go back to sleep again. Wheat dropped below $1 just as Minnesota voted and Johnson was elected. Let wheat hop up to S2 and where will Johnson be? The American people remember moderately well. They forget amazingly well. A close observer says: “Longer cigar stubs point to prosperity.’’ Men throwing away cigars half smoked prove they have plenty of money to buy more. That’s a modern American idea of pros perity. When the late George M. Pullman was building his first sleeping cars, he gave up smoking entirely to save the cost of 5 cent cigars. That was the way to achieve prosperity. Prosperity bas ed on throwing things away won't last. Tagore says he won’t return to I the United States. Our “selfish j nationalistic spirit” shocked him. Rabindranatch Tagore Bengali, to give him his full name, is a good, gentle poet. But in Amer ica he missed the point that he should have taken back to his countrymen. If there were more of the offensive “selfish nationalis tic spirit,” in India, you wouldn’t have thirty-odd millions of meat eating, beer-drinking Englishmen rufing 300,000,000 vegetarian Vsifltifiii* ^ousanda of milea away. Mr. Daugherty, attorney gen ial, will cut up the International Harvester trust into three pieces, if he can. That news Tuesday made Stock exchange gentlemen put down the price of Interna tional Harvester. Wise ones prob ably were glad of the chance to buy it. Remember what happened to Standard Oil when a righteous indignant government chopped that up into several pieces. The old company was worth about $1 000,000,000. The little chopped up pieces became worth several thousand millions. Four sabre-toothed tigers were worse than one dinosaur in the old days, more active, more effi cient. Less bulk to carry around. Elinora Duse, grea'. Italian ac tress, returns here in October. Good news. Hear her if you can. Orchestra seats will cost $11. They would be cheap, if you could afford them, at $1,100. Every American actor and actress should study Duse. She knows how to do things without effort. That’s the great art. England wants France to modify its course in the Ruhr. French newspapers say England has gone back on its noble ideas "because it has a strong commer cial interest in restoring Germany as a customer." Business does make a difference. It costa 50 cents to make a gal lon of moonshine whisky that sells for $00, after you put color ing matter, chemicals, etc., in side and a good label outside. It will take a long fight to kill off a business that brings in $00 for 50 cents, plus a label. (Copyright 1»IJ) Frontier Days Boosters Take Fremont liv Storm HpnlAl IMopiitrh to Thf Ormtlm lire.

S. of Future in Unfinished Book Declares Advancing Science Will Abolish Cities — Predicts Co-Opera tive Estates. Would you rather be living now, or a thousand years hence? A thousand years from now the old world will be almost an Utopia, according to Henry Olerich, Omaha scientist, of 2219 Darimore avenue. Mr. Olerich has just completed a book, not yet published. In which he described life at it will be lived 10 centuries from now. Here are a few of his ideas: A thousand years from now— The world will be cltyless and coun tryless. Instead of living in crowded cities and in lonely country homes, people will live in social groups on large landed estates on a co-operative basis. Write Own Pay Check. Each member of the group will make out his or her own pay check for the co-operative labor each has performed, and the work of being par ents will be paid for the same as any other work. Such cooperation will easily pro duce for each worker at least $10 a day, with a three-hour workday. On these big co-operative farms will be large greenhouses covering acres of fertile land, with non breakable glass, which will furnish a year-around supply of fresh veg etables. Every one will live In co-operative mansions—glorified apartment build ings—which will accommodate 500 persons, and will contain a great auditorium or theater, a large library, a gymnasium, astronomical apparatus, artistic art and photograph galleries, a department store, and, among other things, a high class restaurant. Radio Sets in Homes. Each person will do his own house keeping in individual apartments, each of which will be equipped with receiving and sending radio sets, and musical instruments. The bride will pay her own ex penses on her honeymoon. Motive power developed from solar energy will run all machinery and make the airplane such a perfect means of transportation that it will fly around the earth in 50 hours and will do away with the ocean steam ship. Children wt)l bear the names of their mothers, rather than of their fathers. The co-operative kitchens will have banished ail the drudgery of married life. People will ba principally vege tarians. • Mr. Olerich is 71, and has written 14 other books on scientific subjects. This book, in which he portrays life a thousand years from now, is his most mature effort, and probably will be his last book, he says. He is a bachelor and maintains in his small quarters a kitchen which is a marvel of neat ness and efficiency. He declares he has no desire to ac quire money from his writings, inas much as he has a private income suf ficient to care for his wants. Reads H. G. Wells. “I have just finished H. G. Weil's book expressing his ideas of Utopia,’’ said Mr. Olerich. “It has Its good points, but he took Ills characters to another planet to carry out his ideas, • which makes his book of less value. All my predictions are based on the moat scientific observations I have been able to make during my long life." Despite his advanced age. Mr. Olerich has typewritten hi* book in an errorless fashion himself. He also has drawn illustrations for the book, which he has named "The Story of the "World a Thousand Years Hence.” Suit to Relieve $21,600 Promissory Notes Filed Special Dispatch to The Omaha Dec.

The smokestacks stand like a forest around the green meadow in which sits St. Ann's Italian .church, and the sound of its bells, if it had bells, would be drowned by the clanging and whistling and puffing of the trains switching back and fortli on the near by network of tracks. Yet in this odd ly commercialized setting is being displayed a kind of faith which is older than the snorting of engines or the burning of coal, a faith which was hoary when America w»as still an undreamed of continent. Six times a day the little red brick church with the green tilo roof is crowded to Us doors by people who come to be healed of their disease or relieved of their problems. They [lack it as full as safety allows, and those who cannot find room In the building kneel on the sidewalk outside. There are feeble old women and old meu with canes and crutches, worried mothers, pallid young men, women with child, rugged fatherp carrying ailing children, clear-eyed young girls, smiling and uneasily impressed, and boys with their mischief overawed and forgotten for the time being. Filled With Hope. They come, so far as one may judge by their faces, filled witli hope and belief that their problems will be solved, their sufferings removed, through the intercession of St. Ann, the patron of the little church. The morning masses at 6. 7 and 8, are given over to receiving the sacrament and repeating the prayers to the Virgin and St. Ann. prayers and responses repeated endlessly by priest and congregation and increas ing in speed to an unintelligible burr of sound. There is something sooth ing and impressive, even to the mere ly curious, in the swift, strongly accented, rhythmic repetitions ring Ing out in the masculine, trombone like voice of the priest: "Jesus, Mary, Joseph and St. Ann, "Grant us the favors we ask of thee" —and in the quick importunate pray ers which follow. In the middle of the service comes a dramatic silence, in which the petitioner sl'.saiiy names the request which l»e seeks through the in tercession of St. Ann, and then the rhythmic prayers begin again. During the afternoon services, at 2, 7 and 8, tlie sacrament is omitted and a sermon takes Us place. Hopes for Cures. Father Michael A. Stagno, pastor of the Church of Kt. Ann. says that many cures have followed novena In pnst years, and hopes that the increased ln ercst and devotion will bring Increased results this summer. It will not he known whether any cures have taken place until toward or after the end of the novena.
