School Pupils Need 10 Hours of Sleep, Claim Health Supervisor Tells Con tinental Club Hygiene Work Gets Results Among - : Students. "Every grade school pupil should have at least 10 hours each day In bed to develop efficiency.” said Charlotte Townsend, supervisor of health In public schools, speaking Friday noon to the Continental club in Hotel Fontenelle. She explained that her department is enlisting Juvenile leaders In every Mock In the city to promote the "ear ly to bed and early to rise” idea. lUss Townsend stated that In 1919 a sm vey of Omaha grade school chil dren showed that 65 per cent had lost one or more of their permanent mo lars, while in 1924 that percentage had been reduced to 29 per cent. “In our health program," she add ed;'“which Includes personal hygiene, foot!, rest, recreation, posture and cheerfulness we are stressing the thought of cheerfulness, which Is a state of mind and may become a hab it. Cheerfulness Is an important fea ture of health. We are endeavoring to promote good cheer In the homes and }t Is our aim to get this Idea over with 1,200 teachers in the schools." She related that while riding in an elector a few days ago the colored operator whispered to her: "Miss Townsend, I have brushel my teeth ever since X left Long school.” “I would say that he left L<ong school two years ago and his Interest In mouth hygiene was evidence that in many instances our school health rrogram creates habits which are tarried from the schoolroom Into adult life,” Miss Townsend added, POLICE SEEKING ARMED FUGITIVE (Continued From Pngs One.) seefl the girl frequently around the Taylor county fair. The fair, how ever, closed August 2, three days be fore Lillian McKinney Is said to have left home. Suspect Is Released. A man and woman held at Daven port, la., Friday morning as suspects were released after being questioned by authorities. Their car aroused suspicion- having a Nebraska license. Onlaha police notified Parrish they are busy running down clues which they hope will lead to the location of the "mystery man.” Authorities have announced that they will hold the body as long as possible for Identification. Sheriff Parrish received a telegram this morning from Mrs. J. Mathews, 410 South Eighth street, St. Joseph* Moy, asking him If the unidentified girL found dead near Bedford had a mole on her right shoulder. She de clared that her daughter, who ran away, had such a mole. The "mystery girl" does not, how ever. County attorney wns asked to wire Mrs* F. XI. Keefer of Clarks, Neb., whether the body had been Identi fied. The dispatch said nothing further. Trail of Hough led through Omaha, It was discovered by local police who are already following fresh clue# to the suspect. Detectives discovered that a gray plaid skirt, similar to the one found about the body of the dead girl, In a suitcase was pawned by a man an swering the description of “Carl Hough,” sought as the “mystery man,” Friday to A. Rosen, 416 South Tenth street. Saturday, Rosen said, the stranger called for the suitcase and left In Its stead a brown suit, saying that he could return for It Monday. Rosen said that the man drove up to the shop In a car similar to the “mystery car.” Son of Rancher. “Whose is this?” Rosen asked, pointing to the ekirt. "Oh, that's my girl's," said the stranger in the blue serge suit. Rosen told police that the stranger told him his name was Carl Hough and that he was a nephew of Emer son Hough, author of "The Covered Wagon.’ He said that his father was a South Dakota rancher and that he was on his way to visit hla mother In Iowa. Tracing Cleaner’s Stamp. The stranger committed several forgeries In Omaha, according to Chief of Detectives Ben Danbaum. Detectives are now combing the city In hopes that the suspect is atill In town. Detectives Farmer and Davis, through Omaha cleaner's stamp found on the brown suit left with Rosen by the stranger, are tracing to find where the man stopped while in Omaha. They hope If they find out this that they will be able to pick up a trail to his present whereabouts. Wanted for Questioning. Records of Clay R. Wilson and a Carl Hough were dug out of the po lice Bertlllon records Friday morn lng. Rosen said that the Carl Hough, who was arrested In Omaha and held for Investigation early this year, was not the man who pawned the suitcase and skirt with him. Wilson’s fingerprints tally with the classification of Carey Wilson’s finger prints from Anamosa reformatory. He escaped from the Oklahoma peni tentiary in 1023, where he was sen tenced for obtaining money under false pretenses. Carey Wilson is wanted by Bedford authorities for questioning.

A famous meeting place was the bend In the old cowpath In the Old Pasture where Peter Rabbit watched from the safety of a bramble-tangle. By Just sitting there, watching, Peter was learning a great deal. He had seen for himself that Reddy Fox Is polite to Old Man Coyote and steps aside for him; that Old Man Coyote is polite to Buster Bear and steps aside for him; that Buster Bear is polite to Jimmy Skunk and steps aside for him. Now Peter was won dering if there was any one for whom Jimmy Skunk would step aside and be polite. It gave Peter something to think about. “Why is Reddy Fox polite to Old Man Coyote?” Peter asked him self. “It Is because he Is afraid of him. Why Is Old Man Coyote polite to Buster Bear? It Is for the same reason that Reddy is polite to Old Man Coyote. Why Is Buster Bear polite to Jimmy Skunk? It Is be cause he doesn't dare to be otherwise. So it seems to me that politeness is chiefly due to respect, and respect Is chiefly due to fear. I don't believe one of those fellows was polite be cause he wanted to be polite. Jimmy Skunk isn’t very big, but of all the people here in the Old Pasture he is, I guess, the most independent. He doesn’t have to be polite to any one unless he wants to be. There is no one to make him poille through fear. Hello! Here comes Jimmy now!” Sure enough, there was Jimmy Skunk slowly ambling down the old cowpath. You know Jimmy seldom , hurries. Peter looked down tho old cowpath to see if any one was coming He begged Itiizztnil's pardon for hav ing disturbed him. up it. No one was In sight. Peter was a little disappointed. Nearer came Jimmy Skunk. Now he was right at the bend in the old cow path in front of where Peter was hiding In the bramble-tangle. A sharpt chirring rattle made Peter jump as if he were trying to jump out of his skin. It seemed to come from right under his nose. But, it didn't. It came from the middle of the old cowpath right out in front. Peter's eyes looked as if they might pop out of his head. Yes, sir, they did so. They looked as if they might pop out of his head ns he stared at the old cowpath right in front of him.

Probably he had been there all the time and Peter hadn't seen him. At last Peter turned to look at Jimmy Skunk. He was just In time to see Jimmy leave the old cowpath and at a safe distance go around Buzztall the Rattlesnake. Jimmy was most polite about It. He begged Buzz tail’s pardon for having disturbed him. He told Buzztall that had he known that Buzztall was using the path that morning he himself would have taken another path. Buzztall said nothing. He shook hij rattles a few times more and then settled him self for a sun bath. So once more Peter Rabbit found himself mistaken. There was same one to whom even Jimmy Skunk wae polite. And Jimmy’s politeness was the same kind of poiitenssa that Peter had already seen so meny timer. Do you wonder that Peter once more said to himself, "This Is a funny old world. Yes, sir, this is a funny old world.” The next story: "The Real Master of the Old Pasture.” f A New Fall Dresses S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y v‘!r $1fi50 vt" 25.00 * V 25.00 F. W.
