Toda
Europe a Shambles?
Better Than Monkey
Glands.
Poor Overcoat Makers.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Lloyd George predicts another
worse war in Europe, “that will
convert Europe into a shambles
within the lifetime of this genera
tion.” It’s a gruesome prediction.
Jlut the growing power of labor in
England and throughout Europe,
and the great intelligence, and real
knowledge of European labor lead
srs may help the situation.
Hitherto a few ambitious, cov
etous or patriotic individuals have
set the workers to fighting. The
workers had nothing to say about
it.
In England just now, they have
all to say. It may make a differ
ence, when the men that must do
the fighting decide on peace or war.
France takes a wise step in ar
ranging to cut down its army by
220,000 men. Those men, produc
ing wealth as civilians, and no
longer a burden on other workers,
will help solve the French prob
lem.
If now France will encourage its
ally Poland, working practically
under French dictation, to cut down
the huge Polish army, that also
will help.
They don’t need us in any league
over there. What they need is to
settle their troubles, in the only
possible way, by retrenchment.
The brilliant surgeon Voronoff
who plants glands from animals in
human beings, restoring youth and
vigor—more or less—is off to Africa
for new experiments. One thou
sand animals are ready for him, in
cluding many chimpanzees so much
like humans their blood can be used
for transfusion in human beings.
Voronoff will do marvelous work,
undoubtedly. But a remade man
is, at best, a second-hand product.
Science should devote itself to sav
ing the real new youth that now
goes to waste. One hundred and
nine thousand human babies die in
the United States every year before
they are one month old. To save
them would be worth more than
revamping old men, with monkey
glands.
Overcoat makers can sympathize
with potato farmers. Occasionally
farmers plant too many potatoes,
the crop is big, the price so low, it
hardly pays to dig. The next year
farmers plant too few potatoes, and
the price goes out of reach.
That happened this year tt> mak
ers of overcoats. They made too
many kinds. Good manufacturers
are overstocked with coats they
don’t want to carry through an
other year, a.id they are cutting to
the bone. This may interest you, if
you need an overcoat.
Next year, remembering their
burnt fingers of 1923-1924, over
coats manufactured will probably
be too few. Then prices will be
above the normal.
Never spend money uselessly,
but if you will need an overcoat
this year or next, you will probably
save money buying it now.
Those that love dogs and others
are agitated because rich Mrs. O.
L. Dunn of New Jersey left orders
to chloroform her valuable dogs
when she died.
Kind hearted people want to save
Wee blackie, Lady Puff Ball and
General Mite, Pomeranians, worth
$1,000 each, also two “Pom” pups
and a fox terrier.
The excitement about these dogs
is a sign of improved civilization,
although you wonder why people
get so much excited about dogs that
will die painlessly under chloro
lorm and so little excited about
the children in Europe, Hying pain
fully of starvation.
The excitement shows how stan
dards change. The Asiatic chief
tain, at his death, had his favorite
horse slaughtered. The African
chief had his wives slaughtered,
“favorites” or not, because he
wanted them to come along and
wait on him in the next world.
Now we bury with our carcasses
only expensive coffins, with silver
handles, squandering money on
fancy tombs to put the coffins in.
That * progress.
Now Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan
gives the people a magnificent
library building, and a far more
valuable library collected by hia
father.
Many millions are represented In
the 25,000 volumes, by the finest
private collection of rare books in
the world.
It will give scholars access to
thousands of books that they could
not see elsewhere, and facilitate the
original research which alone satis
fies true scholarship.
Providence works with marvelous
wisdom. Tiny creatures below the
water selfishly build their homes
of coral and Palm Beach, where the
prosperous dash and doze, rests on
a coral reef that those little crea
tures built.
The intelligent man begins, with
eager selfishness, building up his
fortune for himself. His view gets
broader and the fortune that he has
built, as the little creatures build
up the coral reef, becomes the
foundation of a future and better
civilization.
Mr. Morgan’s generous gift will
enrich the few thut go to original
sources for their information.
What a hundred millions of
Americans need and what gome
body should provide, is a collection
of books, 100 to 500, prepared so
that people will actually read them
and not merely own them. Kvery
really great book, of which thcro
are perhaps 600 in all the world,
which the average human being
knows by name, but does not read,
contains within itself a smaller
book that every intelligent person
would read.
Someone should peptonize, con
dense and distribute knowledge, now
inaccessible to those most urgently
in need of it.

Disposition of Race Horse
Figures in Suit Over Note
Buyer Declares Animal ^ as
• Not ‘'Kind*’ as Represent
ed; Cross Petition Asks
Damages.
Because he says Doctor Martin, a
raqo horse he purchased from the
Wall brothers of Fremont, Neb., was
not an animal of kind and lovable
disposition as represented, George H.
White of Malvern, la., ie opposing
th#' effort of the Wall brothers in
District Judge Goss' court, to collect
from him a $300 note given in part
payment for the horse.
Not only that, he has filed a cross
petition demanding $545 damages.
Paid S100 in Cash.
White declares he bought the horse
February 24, 1922, for $400, giving
$100 in cash and his note for the bal
ance. The animal was represented as
being able to pace one mile in 2:211-4,
he said, and a quarter mile In 32 sec
onds. The horse was also represent
ed as having a kind disposition.
White says he discovered the al
legations concerning tne animal’s dis
position were untrue: that he spent
more than $200 in training him,
without entering him in a single race,
and finally had to sell the horse for
$55.
“Temperamental Maybe’’
Scott Wall, one of the brothers
from whom the horse was purchased,
admitted that Doctor Martin may
have been a bit temperamental.
"Even Spark Plug dosen't win all
his races," he averred.
Mules Strayed.
Paul Joseff, Sarpy county farmer,
has asked South Omaha police to

When a Woman Takes the Wheel of This
Car Her Selection Is Made
Woman’s intuitive sense of value leads her to choose
this Coupe in preference to more costly cars. She finds
in the smart body style, the pleasing color scheme, the
quality of the furnishings, those things which appeal to
her good taste. She is quick to appreciate the unusual
.spaciousness of the interior, the deep-cushioned uphol
stery, and easy-riding springs. And when she takes the
wheel and actually experiences the brilliant performance
of this"bathed in oil”motor—nothing but a Dort will do.
