Novelists are supposed to go about with note books, jotting down bits of information that they latef weave into fiction, using actual occurrences or remarks to support the fabric of their realism. Many and varied are the results, and fantastic and even grotesque some of the images projected. We are moved to wonder what sort of tale one of these im pressionists would prepare from the unvarnished annals of Max Dick. Max Dick is a landlord on the East Side in New York: he owns a tenement house in Rivington street in which there were a week ago 226 children. ‘‘Eleven kiddies make a fine family,” says Max Dick, “but thirteen are better.” Think of that, some of you property owners, who bar babies from your flats. He started, years ago, as a little boy in a sweat shop. Young as he was, and poverty stricken, he had a dream, and he worked to make it come true. Earning $2.75 a week on his first job, he saved a little and planted it with his mother. In time he rosa to the eminence of $10 a week, and then he could save more. Last week he told a newspaper reporter how he bought his clothes in a second hand store which stood where his tenement house now stands. He paid 25 cents for a pair of shoes, and $2.60 for a suit of clothes. But his dream was shining brighter all the time. The day came when he bought the first lot he owned on Rivington street for $500. Other proper ties have been picked up since then, but on his first sne he realized his dream. It was a tenement house that should have light and air, and other things for comfort, and in which babies should be welcome. Max Dick has prospered, for his habits of frugality and thrift have continued, and he is listed well-to-do, but at no time has he lost touch with his friends on the East Side. Simple enough, isn’t It,? The lives of such men are always simple, devoid of the dramatic; just the concrete sordidness of drudging day in and day out, scrimping, saving, denying one’a self all the little luxuries and pleasures, merely to get ahead. Yes, that is one side of the picture, but look at the other. Dozens and dozens of little children, playing and romping in safety, shouting after “Uncle Max” as be comes and goes, giving him a joy he never eould buy with money. Add to this the blessings of fath ers and mothers, who realize the advantage they have in such a landlord, and It must be clear that Max Dick has that which is not found even in story books or happy ending plays. Wealth is power, and when power is used for the good of those who do not possess it, it Is God like. Max Dick has approached if he has not in very truth touched the real secret of human happiness. He has made others happy. EVEN THE OCEAN IS DRIER. While a great deal is heard of the rush to the bar as soon as the liner crosses the three-mile limit, something on the other side of the story occasionally comes to the surface. T. D. Stewart, chief steward on the White Star liner, Adriatic, who haa been 35 years in the North Atlantic trade, tells the New York Times that drinking among passengers at sea has been steadily declining for the last twenty years. He says: “It is npt because liquor costa have gone up. but chiefly because the present generation does not drink beer, wine or spirituous liquors as its forbears did. Efficiency in business, with telephones, wire less, radio, taxicabs, electrical devices and the gen eral demand for more speed has destroyed the old idea of doing business in the forenoon and devoting the reat of the day and night to drinking." Steward Smith describes the old-fashioned toper, who waa not found only at aea, who began drinking aa aoon as he opened his eyes in the morning and kept it up all day without getting drunk. He gives aome prices that will make a bootlegger laugh, and the bootlegger's patron groan. Read this: “Whisky at that time cost 90 cents a bottle, gin tO oents, rum 50 cents, good red or white table wine (0 cents, and champagne was 92 a quart. Beer, ale or stout waa S cents a bottle, and a whisky or brandy with soda water could be obtained In the ft rat class smoking room for 12 cents. The best cut pipe tobacco on the ship waa 95 cents a pound. • “Passengers bought spirits by the bottle and kept them In the swinging racks over their seats at table. At dinner time In *»ie first-class dining saloon thirty years ago champagne was seen on every table." If this change has come about under the process of social evolution, the case for ultimate prohibition does not appear so hopeless aa some folks think. Men are giving up intoxicating liquor, not so much because tha law forbids it as because they have something to do besides drink. HOW MUCH IS A MAN WORTH? Enactment of compensation laws to provide re lief for victims of industrial mishaps has brought out a wide variation of estimates as to the value of different members of the human body. These are not so much because of the laws, although they are sufficiently wide apart, but because of decisions in courts constructing those laws. For example, a thumb is worth $226 in Wyoming, $600 in Oregon, And the legal compensation for sixty weeks in New York and Alabama. In Nebraska, Alabama, Con necticut, Delaware, Kansas and New York, the hand extends to the elbow, while in Colorado it only ex tends to the wrist. Other differences of view as to the seriousness of injuries, the relation of the members of the body, and their effect on the earning power of the indi vidual are noted by the National Industrial Confer ence hoard, whidL is interested in securing some ap proach to uniformity in the laws of the several ulutes and the practices of the courts that deal with compensation cases. Identical injuries, the hoard feels, ought to lie treated as nearly hs possible the same in all slates. Also, there should be agreement rules that govern medical treatment, hospital care I similar details. fact that compensation laws vary so is not taken as a hopeless sign, for the belief is justified that experience will lead to greater harmony in the provisions, The interesting thing at the moment is that the states are alive to the need of provisions tor the care of victims of industry. When all have enacted compensation laws, and time has shown the way, definite agreement on methods mid amount of payment may be expected. FAMILIARITY DEFEATS MATRIMONY. Einstein made a mistake in his calculations, those on which he based his startling statements in setting up, a new or, rather, upsetting the old physical uni verse. We do not know what it was, for it is for those who can soar into the uppermost realms of sublimated mathematics, but Einstein admits it and others have pointed it out. This is just to show that even the most expert of figure jugglers may pull what the tutor over at the business college calls a boner, when he detects it in the work of a pupil. Reflecting on this we are not inclined to be dis turbed seriously by those who fancy they see the end of marriage in the mounting totals of divorces granted. Admitting that there is the semblance of evil in the fact reported from the census bureau that fewer marriages and more divorces took place in 1922 than in 1916, we still can find comfort in the statement that in Nebraska more than 10,000 of the couples married did not seek divorce. Reasons for the change are being sought in all directions, by so cial workers who are earnestly bent on preserving the sacred institution of marriage and perpetuating the home. One who is not cynical, and who feels at times that he does not love his fellow man, gives it as his opinion that some of the cause may be found in con ditions that obviously contribute to the general re sult. The so-called freedom of life, indulged by both the sexes, tends to produce a sort of neuter state of mind. Marriage fundamentally is depen dent on mystery, and when the eyes are opened and nothing left to the imagination, the sex lure that, might lead to matrimony disappears. Boys and girls who mingle together freely in the intimacy of a splendid companionship, express the fine spirit of the age, but they get to know one another too well. The girl learns to play the games, do the work, and in every way to rival her brother, and any glamour of superiority he might once have possessed dissolves under the light of her knowledge. So with the boy, who sees his sister going about, doing those things •that used to fee sacred to masculinity alone. He loses’that sense of reverence and awe the male once had for the female, and treats her as an equal in stead of something far above him. And neither of these attitudes stimulates the impulse to marriage. Economic independence has its share in produc ing the result, both in the decrease of marriage and increase in divorce. Yet neither of these con clusions implies that the situation ia hopeless. When matters are a little better adjusted, as they soon will be, the old-fashioned interest in mating will be re vived, and domestic partnerships will be formed on a more solid and enduring basis than those which have startled the moralist*. A RADIO PLOT. If one doesn’t wish to read a novel, It is the easiest thing In the world to avoid. Of course, a certain amount of social pressure is laid by friends who insist on discussing the latest literary sensation and never fail to inquire if one has read it. But nothing can force a person against hia will to purchase or borrow a book that he doesn't care to read. However, before tha ingenious plan of a wealthy writer in the east, the nonreading public is helpless. He proposes nothing less than the erection of a radio sending station on his country estate beside the Hudson, over which he wijl broadcast each day a portion of his writings. Nor is he inclined to be selfish with this insidious device. Author* from all over the country, he announces, have written him, some to secure the loan of his wireless, other* to *eek particulars so that they might erect a broadcasting station of their own. What ar# the people to do to protect them selves? There is a fascination in sitting before a radio telephone receiver. Anything heard through these miraculous seta aeems interesting and won derful. Those who would not think of walking across the street to hear a lecture or concert are entranced by the asm* thing when it comes dash ing through space to their ears. Suppose this novelist should read the first chapter of hia latest story and then announce that the concluding sec tions could be purchased at any book store? Ver ily, here i« a plot and one against which the aver age human being ia helpless. WHEN THE FAMILY'S AWAY. Consider the lot of the poor summer bachelors. They have no home, only a house, vacant and cheer less, so silent that it shrieks and tears at the nerves. Stilled ia the laughter of the children, gone is every real interest in life. Frequently the effort is made to make merry over the spectacle of the husband whose family is away for a vacation. Someone even wrote a song entitled "My Wife's Gone to the Country, Hooray, Hooray.” The most than can be said is that these lack all semblance of appreciation and real facts. There is no pile of dishes accumulating in the sink. You see the summer bachelor* sitting soberly about the table at the cafes downtown. If they so much as eat breakfast at home, it is always out of the same few dishes, rinsed hastily under the faucet. The living room is a vacuum in which nothing moves nor lives. No litter of paper dolls or toys, no hats or sweaters east carelessly on the bench. It is like a tomb. Perhaps there is a milkman who persists in leaving the customary plentiful supply of milk whether or not the bottles and ticket* arc put out on the porch. Faithful soul, little does he realize the annoyance he causes by enforcing a morning diet of milk. And if the deserted man of the household should try sleeping late in the morning he soon finds that the door bell ringing solicitors expect every home to he up and stirring shortly after eight. There Is no comfort in solitude in the city. Husbands seldom or never enjoy their wive’s vaca tions. MAKING THE MAILS GO FASTER It will not be between sunup snd sundown that the mail will cross tho continent by airship, but the flight will be fast enough to make Father Time rub his eyes and shake his hour glaas. Less than 14 hours from New York to Omaha, 18 hours from Omaha to San Francisco, and there you hnve it. Tho time set for the journey from New York to Omaha is just about what the “flyers” that run on railroad schedule consume in the journey from Omaha to Chicago, and ip only about two-thirds of the time between Chicago and New York. It means a net saving of tho running time from New York to Chicago. On the western end of the flight the time consumed will he about what a mail train takes up between Omaha and Cheyenne, saving the time consumed between that point and San Francisco. The world do move, anil the postal service is trying to keep up with its motion. Denver is having a lot of trouble with the Platte, hut the worst of her fears has never been realised. Gasoline at present prices explodes us well as it did last week. The Lantern By DON MARQUIS. O Who But Godf O, who but God could nuke a gentle flower And set it in green mosses by a stream? And give it living wind*, and every hour Bring it more radiance until a dream Is not so exquisite— Q. who could take Pale petals and pale leaves and breathe a deep Forgotten fragrance, till the grass is sweet And there Is drowsy silence like a sleep About them? Such are violets and buttercups. And the small daisy beautifully neat. —Mabel Simpson. Matrimony should be a game of ekill as well as a game of chance. A vice ... is something so pleasant that it doesn't seem right for other people to be enjoying it. A scientist of the osteopathic school suggested recently that more men. es pecially fat men, should wear corsets. People are always telling fat men what they should and what they shouldn't do and expecting them to take it good-naturedly. Personally, as one fit the fat, we draw a line at the corset. We are certain that a corset would make us feel self conscious and shy; we should be wondering all the time if people were commenting upon it; we should be wondering if people heard it creak when we sat down. But there le a more serious objection; what becomes of the embonpoint that ia suppressed by a corset? It must go somewhere, it msy vanish eventually, but it does not vanish at once. It must squeeze out above the corset or below the cor set. and in either case there ia no real gain in the way of manly sym metry. We have some respect for the sclen tists they are usually well meaning persona Even when they are frivol ous they are seldom conscious of their own frivolity. But this corset Idea is »n Indignity to which we will not submit. What would happen—this is a purely academic question, for we do not. have fleas—what would hap pen If a flea got under the darned thing? It Is a fact not generally known, but nevertheless a fact, that It was fleaa getting under their armor where they couldn't scratch that Anally de cided the knlghte of old to give up chivalry. It haa been generally sup posed that armor went out when gun powder came In. ' But It waa the fleaa that they picksd up In their crusadda to Pales tine that, really disgusted the knights Hundreds of millions of fleas, trained by the Saracens to bite Christiana, proved the most adequate defense of the Holy Land from the onslaughts of Christendom; and to this day that country Is still In the hands of the Moslems, and to this day the fleaa abound. At least, this is the report *1 get from our entomological authority. Arrhy. our our historical authority, Mr. Clem Hawley. Am usings. One-hslf the world doesn’t know how the other half lives.

They're strong on their dancing. Each maiden entrancing r» bent on enhancing Her pow'r to amuse. They carry email casee To mirror their faces. And add to their graces With lip stick and rouge They’re all In transition, They prate of a mission. And grandma's tradition Is void and null.

Governor Thayer had mads an appeal to ths presidents of the lines serving Nsbraska. and Edward Rosewttsr sup ported him, publishing this sdltorial on January 27, 1190. "THEY SHOI LD HEED THE APPEAL." "Tha appeal addressed by Governor Thayer to the managers of the rail roads in Nebraska, asking for auch re ductlon of the ratea on corn a« will enable the farmera of the atate to market their crop* with some profit, has been promised careful considers tlon by the general manager of the B. & M. railroad, and it is to be pre sumed will receive attention from other managers. The matter Is one of such Importance as to merit the most serious consideration from the rail roads. These corporations are cer tainly Interested in the progress and prosperity of Nebraska. The material growth of the atate must result in a larger prosperity for the railroads, that carry its products and bring into it the commodities which the market ing of these products will enable its people to buy. The great staple of Nebraska, its corn crop, is the de pendence of the Urge majority of its people for support, and therefore t large part of its business Interests. If this product la not marketed, or most of it is marketed at a price which, owing to the high freight rates, leaves no profit to the farmer, it is inevitar ble that all business must suffer, the general prosperity be unfavorably af fected and the progress of the state be retarded In such a state of af fairs the railroads doing business In Nebraska could not escape a share of the injury. "In his second letter on the sub ject Governor Thayer shows that at the price of corn in Chicago there is no profit to the farmer with the present rate of freight. Corn shipped to Chi cago from central Nebraska will yield to the shipper only 12 cents a bushel. Nobody will pretend that this Is a fair return. On the contrary, it Is simply ruinous The farmers of the state with fixed obligations to meet and the neoesaltlea Incident to their Industry to provide for. to say nothing of the other demands upon them can not long withstand the disastrous conse quences of such a condition of affairs. A few of them are in position to bear for s time the drain It entails.

There Is no authority to compel them to ehanre their rates on through shipment* of com. The mat ter I* on* over which they have. In Its nresent condition, exclusive control. They are merely appealed to to con sider whether it. will not be wise snd just to afford the farmers of Nebraska ths relief thst It is In their power to give, and without which It Is ap parent the general prosperity must suffer. A careful study of the situs tion will convince them, we believe, that they should promptly heed the appeal.” Daily Prayer For ths T-erS God I* s tan snd shtstd ; ths T.ord win a tvs ftsor and alory, no good thing will tfs withhold from thsm thst walk uprightly-* r* It 11 Lord we thank Thee for the hies* ings of the day th«t la gone.

If QUIVF.Y. i SnI) Natary I’uMir Out of Today's Sermons "Four Feet on tlie Fender" will be the theme of Rev. Ada 8. An derson at Plymouth Congrega tional church this morning. Taking as her text Gen. 2:1S, she will have something to say regarding ihe dlvlns institution and authority rif marriage, as well as the manner in ivhich the relationship is entered in hese days. She will give some ad vice to young people as to the selec tion of their partners for life, telling ilso the way to make the best of a seemingly bad bargain. The ideal home and Us inmates will be consid ered. She will say In part: "Vou can learn more about a girl by calling on her In her home for an evening than by taking her to a dozen entertainmente. If she always wants to go somewhere or to be doing some thing, It means one of two things— either she is selfish and cares more for amusement you provide than for you, or else her head Is empty and she is unable to be happy without the aid of eome extra excitement. She will not fit into a modest home very well. "If you want to know how a man will treat you. listen to the way he talks about othera—hia employers, his business associates, his friends. If everyone is always wrong except him self, if he Is always complaining that no one does anything for him. al though you never heard of his doing anything for anyone else, look out for him. ‘‘Almost anyone Is likable at a pic nic, when the day is pleasant and food good. Life Isn't all a picnic. “No woman ought to consent to he supported. She ought to say: 'I am not seeking or consenting to be sup ported. There will be two of us. If I cannot earn as much as you, I can save more. We can plan together.’ "Aware of the fact, that one gener ation touches another, what do you want to pass on? For what do you want to be responsible’ When you are dead and gone, you’ll walk the streets in the characters of your children. "God says to you as he intrusts you with a young life: ‘Take this child and train It for Me and I will give thee thy wages.’ Be true and you will receive the wages—the Joy of seeing your sons and daug'ers grow into beautiful manhood and womanhood." This evening at the First Swed ish Baptist churrh, Thirty-fourth and Burt streets. Rev. C. A. 8e gerstrom will have for hla sub ject “Fullness,” and will say: This word expresses a state or qual ity of being full, completeness, per fection, something accomplished "tn Thy presence la fullness of Joy,” says the Psalmist (16:77). We wish to speak about fullness from four different aspects, namely: Fullness of evil, "full ness of time." as Christ's first and second coming, fullness of the glory of the Lord, "fullness of Christ." Wickedness in the world has been and Is yet great. In Noah's days even the 120 years of his preaching was com pleted and the awful flood came ana destroyed every living thing on land except that which was saved through the ark. Future prophecy tells of a day when the wicked shall drink the full cup of God's wrath. They shall cry to the rocks and the mountains and admit that "the great day of His wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand?" Rev. 6:17. Indeed, evil and death shall be conquered in due time. In what has been said we have seen the end of evil In the world and the glorious victory of Christ and His righteousness Hence It is needful for us to ssk ourselves what our hearts are full of Is it the world or is it Christ? We cannot have both at the same time. "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter’ Can the fig tree my brethren, bear olive berries?" James 3:11-12. W4 must therefore have the fullness of Christ or perish As Jesus was "full of grace and truth,” eo “of His fullness have we all re ceived and grace for grace." .Toh. 1:14 16 "For it pleased the Father that th Him should all fullness dwell." Col. 1:19 Have vou re ceived this fullness’ As He came to Hie own and His own received him not," eo many today are refusing to take Christ and tie saved We pray that you may "know the love of Christ, w hich passeMi knowledge, that v« might be filled with all the fullness of God.” Kph. 3:19, Christ has bought His church with His own precious blood. The church is Hla body, the fullness of Him that fllleth all In all. Eph. 1:23. If we love Christ and His church, we shall faithfully work "till we come In the unity of the faith— unto a perfect man, unto the meas ure of the atature of the fullneee of Christ. Eph. 4:13, At the St. Paul Presbyterian church, Twenty-sixth and Seward afreets, the Rev. Ruaaell Taylor will have for hi* theme today “The Markets of Jehovah.” Tb# text will be from Isaiah 6S:l; “Conic, buy wine and milk with out money and without price.” He will say in part: To a nation years ago that had through transgressions lost sight of the abundant and wholesome and all supplying market of Jehovah, and to nationa and men today who for the same reason are unaware of the “un searchable rlchea of God,” "The Call" comes forth from heaven, “Com*, buy wine and milk without money and without price." Not for one week only, but for years and centuries of weeks God's mer chandisers, prophets and preachers and godly rnen and women have sent forth "The Call" to the markets of Jehovah, manufacturer of worlds, maker and ruler of empires and na tions. creator and sustainer of all things. Oh, then, can we not see that far beyond Its immediate surroundings, Israel was being called to Him who could supply all its needs? And what Is of more import to us, can it not be seen that the call to a Joyless and hungering world sven today, a world that haa searched to the uttermost for pleasure and found It not, a world that has tested all m:. nner of food only to find an unappeased appetite, I say can It not be seen that the call comes forth to this present age: "Come ye, buy wine and milk with out money and without price.” "Come to Him who la able to supply all your needs. For In Him Is fullness of Joy forever more." "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more." And may the church be as alert as are the venders of earth's merchan dise to extend "The Call" throughout the length and breadth of His do main. Harvest Home Nebraska, golden harveat home.
