    ..More Money for
University, Plea
Regents’ Head Says Cost Be
low That of Other
States.
Frank W. Judson, newly elected
president of ths board of regents of
the University of Nebraska, was not
apprised of his new position until he
returned to Omaha Friday.
In a statement, he declares that he
appreciates the compliment and the
evidence of confidence on the part
ot his associates. His statement fol
lows in part:
"The most important business in
this stats is the education of our
i hildren. This is done through a
great system of public schools, ele
mentary, secondary and higher—our
university is the head, not because
ii is more important than other
schools, but it is the institution in
which the students complete their
1 reparation in whatever may be their
selected line for future service.
"1 appreciate the fact that condi
'Ions in this section during this pe
riod have not been good and that it
is not advisable to endeavor to pro
gress too rapidly under such condi
tions. I beligve, however, we have
reached the point where we mus*
have more money for the conduct of
l lie university. The cost per student
for the maintenance and operation
of the University of Nebraska is be
that of any other state univer
sity occupying a position similar to
that we enjoy. Our1 university'is be
ing operated in a most economical
manner. If. however, we are to keep
in the race and maintain our posi
t on with other state universities, we
must think in new terms of the sup
port of our university.
"Some new and modern buildings
r.re necessary—new equipment re
quired to replace that worn beyond
repair or out of date—more teachers
me needed in some departments—
higher salaries must he paid to some
of our faculty or their valuable serv
ices will be lost. It is my hope that
every citizen in this state interested
in education will become more active
in thpir support of our university and
co-operate with us to obtain the sup
port, financial and otherwise, that is
needed at this time.”

Scmtily-Clai Chorus Girls of Yesteryear Now Wearing
Latest Model Gowns That Fail to Shock Most Critical
By ELIZABETH GOII.I).
What has become of the scantily
rlatl chorus girl?
We don't sec as much of her as we
did.
Is she changing in manner of dress
for the stage?
Several seasons ago bare knees were
the rage in musical productions. This
season the show girls that have come
to Omaha in extravaganza, burlesque
and vaudeville are all dressed up.
The majority of attractions at
Ontaha theaters this season have been
veritable style shows, or contained
scenes depicting the hoop-skirt period.
Generally speaking, there seems to be
little need for censorship. Only when
an act of posing Is shown is there
reason for the appearance of tights.
The above picture Is of a number
of chorus girls in a musical show
coming to the Orpheum theater next
week. They are wearing clothes of
the latest mode that cover thfm en
tirely. The other picture Is of a
chorus gill who. (lid come to Omaha
this year, but she was an exception.
"Old Man" Johnson of the Gayety
theater enforces a strict rule In his
theater that all girls in tile burlesque
must wear tights. These shows
have little need to heed the rule,
for they have become musical at
tractions that include a parade of
new gowns with elaborate wardrobes.
Johnson holds style shows at the
matinee during a part of the season
for the benefit of the women of the
audience.
Many musiral productions have
turned to the hoop-skirt styles and
old-fashioned dances. The abbrevi
ated costumes of the smaller girls in
the chorus have even made a decided
change to real dresses used as a
colorful background for the print (pals
of the show.
Vaudeville has even become for the
feminine members on the bills a place
to display the latest styles of the day.
House managers and agents of the
Orpheum circuit are held responsible
by Marcus Holman, president, for the
shows in their theaters.
V.'elfnre boards, a bureau of censor
ship or body of community reformers
find little need for work In Omaha
theaters this season. The shows have
been fewr and far between that have
been at all shocking, at least in dress.
G. Hog Sees Shadow;
Didn't See It Last Year;
Coldest Day on March 1H
Doesn’t Mean Anything
The (iruundhng saw his shadow
Saturday noon. This announcement
brings word that there will be six
weeks more of cold weather, if
supersltions mean anything. But,
arrording to Metereoiogist M. V.
Robins, even if the groundling does
see his shadow on a dear day, cold
weather doesn’t always follow.
For instance, the records at the
weather' bureau show that on Feb
ruary 2, 1923, although it was
cloudy and the groundhog saw no
shadow, Omaha had the coldest day
on record for March 18 when it was
8 below tero. On February 2, 1923,
the thermometer began to drop at
2 in the afternoon and went down
to 8 below the next morning. Con
trary to belief when Groundhog day
was clear in the years 1922 and
1921, the following six weeks had
warm weather.
Groundhog day is also known as
Candlemas day. This day has been
an instltutlop among those of
Christian faith since early Christian
times. The name la taken from the
custom of blessing candles in Ro
man Catholic and English churches
at the celebration of purification of
the Virgin Mary.
In Seotlnud, school children bring
money to their teachers today.

Bunk clearings for this week were:
$34,771,050.03; last week, $33,238,580.

K5IOV \l. of kernels of corn

careless mothers, to he issued by
l)r. \. M. Pinto, city health com

Here Is the lisi:
Don't let babies play with small
safety pins
Don't leave loose buttons around

Don't giie babies peanuts or
small hard randies.
Don't allow the babies to play
with toffee beans, berries, marbles,
or any oilier small objects.
Don't let the babies play with
pennies or other coins. There Is
danger of them swallowing them
as well as bring unsanitary.
"The danger of these objects could
be prevented by the mother." said
l>r. Isaacs. "Habies nml small chil
dren should be taught not to put them
in their mouths.

Bryan Pads Rap

“Nothing Personal," Gover
nor Declares in Comment on
Oil Lease Inquiry.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Roe.
l.incoln, Feb. 2.—Veiled criticism of
William (llbbs McAdoo for his accept
ance of. *250,000 from the oil interest
was seen here today behind Governor
Bryan's comment on the progress of
the Teapot Dome investigation, al
though he denied hia intention to dis
cuss "Individual cases.”
"When you take into consideration
the cost of oil, would you taka into
consideration the *250,000 paid to Wil
liam Gibbs McAdoo?" Governor Bryan
was asked.
The governor had atated twice
previously that he did not see how
lie could do anything about reducing
the cost of gasoline until he deter
mined what the oil companies had to
pay for leases.
Nothing Personal.
"I do not intend to discuss indi
vidual cases," was the governor’s re
ply, "or to make any personal refer
ence when I attempt to get at the
hare production cost of oil. Press re
ports do not furnish enough material
for any personal criticism.
"The policy of big business In em
ploying prominent men to influence
government officials has been recog
nized as a curse for years.
"Some one apparently has Imposed
on President Coolidge in causing him
| to select attorneys who have been
connected with the oil interests to
prosecute others accused of accept
ing money from the same interests.
“It might be well for the senate
investigating committee to learn who
It wuh that made such recommenda
I tions and whether they received
, money for using their influence with
^he president.”
In political circles here today the
general opinion prevails that William
Gibbs McAdoo’s connection with the
Teapot Dome inquiry Improves Gov
ernor Bryan’s chances as a presiden
tial possibility.

Omaha Women Cigaret Smokers Buy Bravely |
Not So “Keen” About Pet Brands and
Don't Ask for Cork Tips, Clerks Say
But Shy at Lighting ’Em Up at Cigar Counter
Omaha women buy cigarets without a qualm.
Borne smoke them openly in restaurants without a thought of rensura.
But they have not reached “smoke equality” with the men to the ex
tent of lighting up at the cigar counter.
That is the testimony of Omaha cigar store men, whd declare that
women for the most part buy the same brands of cigarets smoked by men.
and even buy their matches while in the cigar stores.
^SMltSS*
“Ye*, some women buy a dozen or more packages of (igarets at a
time," was the report of a < lerk at one cigar stand in a drug store on
Fifteenth street. “And the women aren't so particular about the brand as
the men. They don’t even ask for cork tip*. I suppose that is because most
of them use holders."
In the restaurants where smoking is permitted, the girls who smoke
seldom leave more than the tips in the ash trays.
Increased consumption of cigarets by women not only of Omaha, but
all. over the country, is indicated by the report made at the national to
bacco exposition now in session in New York, to the effect that 7,000,000,000
cigarets were smoked by women in 1923. %
Decision has been made to put fancy and colored ( igarets oh the market
for the women.

Paris, Feb. 2.—Paul Raynal's play,
' The Tomb I'nder the Arch of Tri
umph," caused as much of an up
roar at its opening in the Comedia
Francaia last night as its dress re
hearsal the other afternoon.
The paying as well as the invited
patrons of the theater came armed
with whistles and horns and at the
climax of the third act. when the re
turned soldier proclaimed hie heretl
cal doctrines concerning the family,
the arguments became so heated that
the mangement thought it prudent to
turn on the iighla.
The play, however, was carried on
to the end, thanks to a strong-arm
squad of ushers who spent a large
share of the evening removing or
quelling the more vociferous parti
sans.
Those who approved and those who
disapproved of the play were still at
lit long after the curtain fell, even
until the lights were turned out.
Then they groped their wav from the
theater, arguing ss they went.
