How 'to Hurry Spring
Tf you are tired of winter, and
want a bit of spring without waiting
for it, gather some branches from
shade trees or cherries which need
trimming, advises Caroline K. String
er In the bulletin of the Onlahai
Walking club. Put the branches In!
water for a few days, and you will
then understand why lilacs and cher
ries sometimes blossom in a warm
October Instead of waiting for May
to come.
The spring beauties snd violets
were safely blanketed by the autumn
leaves which fell, not because they
were killed by frost, but because
they were deliberately shed by the
trees and shrubs which bore them.
The leaf-scars on last summer's
shoots are not ragged and unprotect
ed, but covered by a smooth layer,
♦ ho cuttlng-off layer, which healed
the scar-to-be In advance of Its mak
ing. The buds formed In the axils
of the lenves provided for new leaves
and flowers before the old leaves snd
fruit were discarded.
The arrangement of the buds snd
leaf scars alwnys follows a definite
plan. Maples have leaf-buds In twos,
placed opposite ench other, with each
pair alternating on the stem with the
pair below, while the flower buds are
'h'ekly clustered on tha tips of tho
twigs.
The willows and cottonwoods and
elms have buds placed singly nnd
forming n spiral about the stem The
pussy willows have a single, large,
brown scale over their furry flower
buds. Cottonwoods seal their aenles
with balsam. The American elm has
smooth scale leaven, while the buds
of the red or slippery elm ate cover
ed with thick, soft, brown hairs.
Meeting Date Changed.
The Ladles' Aid society of at.

League of Voters
Opens Local
Headquarters.
Announcement of the opening of
new permanent headquarters for the
Woman’s League of Voters on the
fourth floor of the Kilpatrick store
was made by Mrs. Gentry Waldo yes
terday noon at the luncheon of the
league In the Brandels tea room. The
headquarters opened for the first
lime yesterday.
A question box, where information
about political and civic affairs may
bo dropped, a bulletin board where
answers to these questions and any
other Information that seems valuable
will be posted, are a part of the plan
for this headquarters. As soon as ar
rangements can be made, a member
of the league always will be on duty
during working hours at this desk.
Mrs. W. LeRoy Davis, Lincoln,
state president of the League Of Vot
ers, outlined the national and state
aims of the league to an audience of
about 60 women.
Federal Program Outlined.
The participation of America in the
world court, the passage of tho child
labor amendment, the amendment
of the Smith Hughes act so as to give
a larger proportion of the appropria
tion to domestic science, tho defeat of
the blanket amendment for obliterat
ing all distinction between women and
men in constitution and laws, and the
passage of a universal marriage and
divorce act, were mentioned by Mrs.
Davis as (the legislative program of
the national league.
The blanket amendment is opposed
by the principal woman's organiza
tions of the country, because it
would do away at a stroke with a
great deal of welfare legislation such
as minimum wage and maximum
hours. A custodial farm for women
federal prisoners, for whom at present
no adequate provision is made, Is
favored by the league, said the
speaker.
In Nebraska Its legislative program
Includes the acceptance by Nebraska
of the Sheppard Towner act and the
making of an appropriation sufficient
to meet the requirements; the support
of the present state marriage law,
which is llkel yto be attacked, and
the removal of the party circle from
the ballot. Officers of the league
ore cooperating with organized wom
en in neighboring states to work for
the passage of marriRge laws like the
Nebraska measure, so that the weak
nesses from which it suffers at pres
ent with be removed.
Report on Illiteracy.
Mrs. C. G. Ryan. Grand Island, de
scribed the recent Illiteracy confer
ence in Washington which she at
ic-nded, and told of tho efforts of tho
league in New England, with special
reference to Connecticutt, where it Is
well organized.
Miss Helen Shamp urged league
members to join the national child
labor committee, which Is working
for legislation to protect the chil
dren, and emphasized Nebraska's
present black record In that respect.
Although it has large numbers of
( hildren employed In the beet fields,
It had only 22 persons sufficiently
interested to Join the child labor com
mittee until the present campaign
was launched a week or so ago. Miss
Helen Gauss spoke briefly pf the so
cial settlement, of which she has
just become head, and Mrs. F .H.
Cole argued for the Frazier bill, to
make postofflce superintendents ap
pointed by civil service.

“My Husband’s Love’’ j
Lillian Devised ilie 1’lans for the
Journey
"You have been misinformed,'’ I
said with emphasis, es the man whom
I suspected of being a detective fin
ished his clumsy, faltering speech
concerning the possible departure of
the children visiting us. “We have
children here, it Is true, six of them
—my own, my friend's little girl, and
the four children of my husband's
sister who was killed in an automo
bile accident a few days ago. But
they are going to stay right with
us, and we shall have no possible
need of a baggage wagon."
I told the fluttering remnants of
my Puritan conscience that I had
spoken only the literal truth, al
though the statement was meant to
mislead the man opposite to me. He
opened his rather small eye* and
looked at me fixedly as I talked, and
then lowered them with a submissive
air.
The Visitor Departs
"I’m sorry to have troubled you, ’
he said. “No offense meant, Ma’m,
I’m sure.”
“And none taken,’’ I assured him
with an air of heartiness. ”1 am
very glad to know that Mr. Jones
has a partner, and I shall send for
you when we have anything in your
line. Just let me have your card.”
"The printer disappointed me,” he
explained glbly—evidently this point
was one he had thought out before
hand—"so I haven’t anything but a
blank card. I’ll put our telephone
number on that, and then you can
call us up any time you want to."
"Thank you,” I said cordially as
lie brought out a pencil and wrote
laboriously upon a card. He handed
it to me with an awkward attempt
at a bow when he had finished and
with a look around the kitchen as
keen and appraising as his conver
sation had been clumsy, he got him
self out of the door, and I saw him
pass the window on his way to the
road.
With a sudden thought, I beckoned
to Jim.
"Go out and see what sort of con
veyance brought him down here,’’ I
said. "If he were telling the truth.
’Smiling Jim Jones’ and his rig
ought to be outside.”
“I already found out,” Jim r<v
plied. "It was one of the village
taxis."
With this final link in the chain
of suspicion against the flat-footed
man, I hurried upstairs to Lillian’s
room, and rapped softly yet impera
tively,
"It’s unpardonable to disturb you.”
I said as she opened the door, “but
the man whom we saw at the sta
tion was just here, and-”
"I wondered how long It would

take him to mosey down here.” she
returned, drawing a chair forward
for me. "Sit down and tell me about
it.”
I gave her every detail, while with
chin cupped in her hands and her el
bows on her knees she listened at
tentively. She kept the posturo for
several minutes after I finished, nnd
then sprang to her feet with de
cision.
"You have the vight dope on
him," she said. "He may not be
strong on the brain cells, but he'll
hang on to your trail like a blood
hound, so It's up to us to draw a red
herring across it.”
The Ostentatious Departure.
She stopped for a second, then
looked up at me whimsically.
"Drat your relatives." she said.
"There are about fifteen-sixteen
things I'd rather do than go to New
York with Marion tonight."
I stared at her for a second before
I grasped her plan.
"You clever old dear,” I exclaimed.
“You mean to make him think—”
"Couldn't do that,” she interrupted
gibingly. "He isn’t capable of It.
But, seriously, I think if some other
taxi than the one which brought him
down, here—get the name of the
driver from Jim as soon as you can—
has a call from here to take passen
gers to the Watermill station—our
sleuth will find it out—the first thing
he will do is to make the taxi rounds
—and then he can be depended upon
to prick up his ears, haul up his gal
luses and beat it to the railroad,
where he will follow’ Marion and me
and three other youngsters I'll bor
row to a nice little hotel in New
York. In the meantime—will your
car stand a trip to New York?”
“Of course," I retorted with the in
dignation of any normal car owner.
"Curtains In good order?" she went
on imperturbably. j
"Perfect.”
"How about the luggage carrier for
the side?”
"It was all right yesterday."
“Then—let me see—Harriet and you
on the front seat. Edwin and the
four kids In the tonneau—you can
manage it without much discomfort,
if you stop all night at Rlverhead, or,
better still, one of the villages on the
north side. Here's the Idea, get your
car out, right away—luckily you put
uras, oil and water in this morning—
and the minute It's dark, load up
arid sneak out that wood road at the
back of the pasture lot, and beat it
across the country for the north
shore. Then tomorrow’ early you can
ease down to New Vork and the
apartment, with the certainty that
you’ve thrown our flat-footed sleuth
off the track. How does it strike you'. ’
