Mrs. Carl R. Gray
Pleads for Homes
Moral Progress Urged at Joint
Meeting of Noonday Llubs
—Love Is Discussed.
"Having an affinity isn't love; hu
man affection isn't love; nor Is ani
mal passion love,” said Mrs. Carl
R. Gray yesterday during a talk to a
joint meeting of the Kiwanis and
Continental clubs at Hotel Rome.
"Rove comes only from God," she
told 200 men at the tables. "You must
be born again.”
“What can we do for Omaha” was
lier subject. She stressed the thought
that moral progress Is as essential as
commercial achievements. She re
ferred to homes where righteousness
abides.
“Is your wife your partner or your
slave?” she asked. “You took her
away from all other men. You
couldn't send her enough candy and
flowers before you married her.
Have you written your wife a love
letter recently? Don't you suppose
that she enjoys flowers and candy as
much as slie did before you married
her? You may nave forgotten that
your wife still wants to be loved and
wants to be told so, now and then.”
Mrs. Gray said she was pleading
for the homes of Omaha.
“What are you doing to help the
morals of the women of Omaha,” was
another query. “Are you drinking
with the women of Omaha? Are you
gambling with them? Are you smok
0 ing with them? Are you haranguing
with them?
“I have been told that there were
103 more divorces granted In one
recent month in Douglas county than
there were applications for marriage.
Do you know what that means?”
The speaker was Introduced by G.
W. Noble.
Moving Muny Courts
Will Cost Big Sum
Mayor Dahlman and City Attorney
Van Dusen were Informed that alter
ations costing $01,000 will be neces
sary to accommodate four munici
pal courts in the Douglas county
courthouse and that the city will have
to pay a. rental of $1,000 a month
if it Insists on the county furnishing
this space.
"We based the rental figure on
second floor offices in the vicinity of
the courthouse,” said County Com
missioner Kubat. ,
Mayor Dahlman expressed himself
as being in doubt as to whether
the moving of the courts from city
hall to the courthouse Is practical.
Hie attention was called to the fact
that Ak-Rar-Ben and several other or
ganizations would have to move out
; ef the courthouse should the courts
be moved there.

Mayor Holds What's
hair for Wilson Is
Also Fair for Lenin
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 8.—''Presi
dent Coolldge did not send condol
ences to Russia when Lenin died—ho
why should Mayor Hoan send condol
ences to Washington on the death of
Woodrow Wilson?”
This was the defense of Mayor
Moan s refusal to express Milwau
kee's sympathy on the death of the
'war president, as advanced today by
Louis Arnold, tax commissioner.
Mr. Arnold’s statement was made
after a score of state organizations
condemned the mayor’s action as un
patriotic and un-American.
Jewelers Object
to Marriage Law
Statute Cost Then $5,000,000,
President Says—Amuses
Code Body Member.
Lincoln, Feh. 8.—The repeal of Ne
braska's marriage law will be one
of the more important questions for
consideration at the Nebraska Jewel
ers’ convention, to be held at Grand
Island February 18 to 20, R. A. Good
all of Ogallala, president, said here
today.
Nebraska Is losing $5,000,000 a
year because of the law, Goodall said,
and added that his estimate Is based
on the amount spent by couples out
side the state.
Mrs. Draper Smith was on the chil
dren's code commission which worked
for the marriage law. She is amused
at the attitude of the jewelers.
"Since they have approved the law,
why do they wish its repeal?” she
asks.
"They don't really know how much
they are losing each year because of
this law. Merchants all over the coun
try dhl not do as much business last,
year as they have done in former
years. Their alleged loss to the state
of $5,000,000 is rather large.”
Howard Kennedy, who also was on
the commission, said that money loss
was not a sufficient reason for ask
ing repeal of the law.
Dr. Palmer Findley was another
Omahan on the commission.

You’ll Never Hit the Ball
With the Bat On Your Shoulder
The men who make a city are the
. fellows who “swing” for the things
worth while. Too many men die
on third base. They lack the nerve
to “hit the ball” and follow through.
Ix?t’s “score” for Omaha. We’ve
got a wonderful city—it offers un
limited opportunities to red-blood
ed men who will dedicate them
selves to its service for a bigger
ar.d better city. Tell the world
about Omaha—it’s a great place to
live!
