Pill Box Officers Efficient in
^ Handling W<ork, Letters
Say—Latch Robbers
in Acts.
Efficiency of the police bill box
system was praised again yesterday
in a letter from George H. Hawkins,
2820 Ames avenue. Mr. Hawkins de
clared that in a time of need, he had
received exceedingly prompt and ef
ficient service from officers stationed
at the Fontenelle park station.
“At 11:30 last Monday -night.” ho
says, “some degenerate cuss raised
h small section of my brick walk and
heaved it through the large glass of
the window of my home at 2820 Ames
avenue.”
Then he tells how ho called the
central police station and motorcycle
officers wore at his front door almost
before he had hung up the telephone
receiver. His praise, he declares, can
hot be too high for such efficient
work.
Mr. Hawkins is only one of many
who praise the work of the “pill
boxers.” This group of men under
the leadership of Capt. Lyman
Wheeler has given excellent service
to the residents of Omaha during the
last summer.
The station at Fiftieth and Dodge
streets has been praised on numerous
occasions as has the one at Thir
teenth and Vinton streets. On one
occasion the officers stationed at
Thirty-third and Cuming street cap
tured a man who attempted murder
by being ready to go on an instant’s
notice.
At Miller park and at Hanscom
park the officers have been fortunate
in capturing burglars in the act of
robbing stores.
Every time such work as this is
done several letters are sent to'the
chief commending the officers. The
chief declares, and all other members
of the department declare, that the
pill box system is one of the most
Ineffective weapons against crime ever
inaugurated in Omaha.

Air Bombs Herald Bursting
Into Flames of K. K. K.
Emblem at Initiation.
Billings, Mont., Sep.. 21.—Thousands
of visitors to the Midland Empire fair
were treated last night to a spectacle
not advertised on the program.
At 10 o'clock the city was aroused
by a continuous bursting of air bombs
over the rim rockd that surround the
northern part of the city, followed a
little later by the bursting into flames
of a cross nearly 50 feet in height,
the fiery cross of the K. K. K.
As the cross blazed, lighting the
entire top of the hills, hundreds of
red flares were touched off, and on
the edge of the hills, 300 feet above
the city, marched hundreds of white
robed members of the organisation,
carrying red and green flaming
torches.
Just back of the edge of the cliffs
were hundreds more of klansmen,
farming a continuous moving circle,
in which several hundred candidates
Were being Initiated into the order.
Back from the edges of the cliff
stood six buglers whose signals moved
the white-robed members in their
maneuvers. In front of the buglers
burned the cross. To the right of
the cross stood an American flag, and
at the base of this was a large flat
rock, used as an altar in the initia
tion ceremonies.
At the close of the ceremonies sev
eral areial bombs were exploded and
the entire assembly sang "America.".
According to officials of the klan,
the meeting was a state wide gather
ing, nearly 2,000 members,being pres
ent. .

Why There Were No More Baby
Turtles.
Spotty the Turtle and Mre. Spotty
had watched the bank down which
two of their babies had come to
enter the Smiling Pool. To these two
babies Spotty and Mrs. Spotty paid
no attention at all. By their actions
you would not have supposed that
they had the least interest in those
babies. As a matter pf fact tjiey
didn’t have much Interest in fliein.
As a father Spotty the Turtle is any
thing but a success. As a mother
Mrs. Spotty is not much better. She
considers her duty done when she
has dug a hole in the sand, laid her
eggs therein and then carefully cov
ered them up.
Mrs. Spotty's interest in her babies
was chiefly in finding out how many
there were. So having seen those
two enter the Smiling Pool, she and
Spotty watched for more. But no
more appeared. The next day they
watched, but they watched In vain.
Finally they decided that those two
made up their whole family.
’’Something happened to those
other eggs," declared Mrs. Spotty.
"As sure as you live, something hap
pened to those other eggs. I laid
a lot of them, and I buried them as
carefully as I knew how."
Spotty yawned. "Do you remember
where you buried them?” he inquired.
“Certainly I do,” replied Mrs. Spot
ty, rather sharply.
"Then why don't you go over there
and see if you can find out what
happened to them?" asked Spotty.
"What good would It do?" retorted
Mrs. Spotty. "No, thank you, I'll
stay right here. My, how good this
sun feels!" Mrs. Spotty made her
self comfortable for a sun bath, add
appeared to forget that there ever
were any bahy Turtles In all the
Great World.
Something had happened to those
eggs that Mrs. Spotty had so care
fully burled. Something had hap
pened to them very shortly after she
Something happened to those other
eggs, declared Mrs. Spotty.
had burled them. A certain little
gentleman In black and white had
come along that way. He had had
something on his mind. That some
thing was eggs, Turtle eggs. Jimmy
Skunk Is very fond of Turtle eggs,
and he knows when and where to
look for them.
The moment Jimmy had seen the
place where Mrs. Spotty had buried
her eggs he had said to himself,
"This looks like a likely place. It Is
Just the kind of a place a Turtle
would choose. It looks to me as If
the sand has been disturbed here.
I’ll do a little digging."
So Jimmy Skunk promptly set to
work and began to dig out the sand
at that particular place. He hadn’t
dug far when he felt something
round. Jimmy's eyes sparkled. In a
moment he pulled out a white egg.
His eyes sparkled more than ever.
He stopped digging and ate that
egg. He smacked his lips. "My. this
is good!” said Jimmy.
Then Jimmy went on with his
search. Kgg after egg he dug out
and ate. At last his stomach was
full, for he had already had a good
meal before finding those eggs. Hav
ing had enough, Jimmy went on his
way. And so It happened that two
eggs were left, and those were the
two from which had hatched the two
baby Turtles which, as you know,
had found their way to the Smiling
Pool. And this is why Spotty and
•Mrs. Spotiy had looked in vain for
more members of their family.
