Mother Hopes
■“Enoch Arden”
I Will Return
Son Disappeared Three Years
Ago and Parents Still
Keep Vigil, Dreaming
of Return.
A dream. In which their lost son,
Edward Emil, appeared to. them
causes Mr. and Mrs. Edward Macek,
1018 South Fifty-second street, to
believe that he will return home in
the fleBh soon.
Yesterday, at the Thanksgiving board
where their other four sons, John,
Will, Elmer and George and their
wives and children sit down, there
was a place set for Edward Emil.
"He might come in. Who knows!
Stranger things have happened,”
muses his mother in whose eyes is
the age-old mother-longing for the
son who Is gone, the son whom she
vemembces as a babe in her arms, as
a youngster prattling at her knee and
now In the full vigor of manhood.
"My husband dreamed of our boy
just the other night," she said Thurs
day morning. "In the dream he saw’
Edward distinctly. He saw him here at
home. Our dear boy was much thin
ner and had aged. It was as though
he has had a hard time of it since
he left us three years ago toddy.
"I saw hiw. too, in a dream some
time ago. And I have never ceased
to hope for his return, especially at
Thanksg.ving and Christmas time. Be
fore he jvas married he was home so
much. My other sons come to see
me often, but I miss Edward.”
Edward, a printer and embosser, a
tall young man of 25 with brown hair
and blue eyes, left home to go to
the grocery just three years ago. He
had been married three years. He
called to his little son and naked if
he wanted to go with him. The
boy, occupied with his play, said he
didn't. The father walked out of the
yard and never returned. Not a word
has been heard from him.
If Edward returns he will find that
his wife remarried two years after his
departure. She is now Mrs. Bert
Breen. She has give up hope of ever
seeing him again.
But his mother will never cease to
hope and pray. For that is the way
with mothers.

Czech Consul in Omaha Required
to Perform Many Duties in Office
Stanley Serpan Works on Re
port on Visit to Native
Land When Free
From Business.
We're always busy here at the
Czecho-Slovaklan consulate," said
Stanley Serpen, consul, "When we're
not taking care of our people I'm
doing this,” .-fid he pointed to a copy
of his report on his recent trip to
Europe, which he was In the act of
duplicating for the benefit of some
other consulate.
It was a rather young appearing
man with intelligent blue eyes and
soft brown hair who wheeled In his
office chair to face his interviewer
in room 201 National building. He
is pleasantly business like and Ameri
can, but with a touch of finesse
which reminded one of the European
intelligentsia.
Mr. Serpan was born in Bohemia
and came to America when he was 12.
After an education in Omaha schools
he entered the employ of the Na
tional Printing company, for whom
he worked 18 years. He was secre
tary of John Rosicky, founder of the
company, for the five years prior to
his death In 1910. Soon after he ac
cepted the position of consul. "I have
been here 23 years altogether," he
declared.
Among other activities the consul
ate, which is maintained by the
Czecho-Slovaklan government, cares
for 15,000 Omahans of that national
ity. both naturalized Americans and
aliens. Soldiers who were recruited
for the Czerho-Slovak army during
the war and returned disabled are
awarded allowances. Widows of those
.who failed to return are also sup
ported through pensions.
Through the consulate passports
are Issued to Czecho slovak citizens,
and passports are vised for citizens
of the United States to travel Jo the
Czecho-Slovakinn republic. Business
and commercial Information is fur
nished, certified translations made of
or Into Czecho-Slovaklan, German,
i in mm i ,
; St^xU'j Setp&ii,
English or other languages, und legal
matters are looked after.
According to Mr. Kerpan, he found
In his trip to Europe that Czecho
slovakia is ns prosperous as could be
expected under prevailing conditions.
"But there are too many people for
such prosperity as one finds here," he
said. "Th« country is 40 per cent
agricultural, 40 per cent Industrial,
and 20 per cent follow the professions
or engage in business.
"The people are still complaining.
Conditions will he greatly Improved
when Russ a, the Balkans and other
customers for Its export trade become
settled. In some of the glass fac
tories I was told that American trade
was all that kept them going. f
"Otherwise, conditions are as near
normal as could be expected In a land
of 13.000.000 Inhabitants with less
land In an area slightly smaller than
that of Nebraska.
He added that the demand for Im
migration to the United States Is not
great, although the Czechoslovak
quota could be twice filled.
