Health Supervisor Tells Con

Gets Results Among

"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

“I would say that he left L<ong

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.

By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Few are those who will offend
One who can hla own defend.
—Jimmy Skunk.
Peter Sees a Fourth Meeting.
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. There

his tall, was Buzztall the Rattlesnake.
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.”
