Success Is Predicted With the pulse nf business in the Omaha trade territory already quick ened by higher prices for farm prod ucts, Omaha wholesalers are antici pating a record-breaking Merchants' Kail Market week, not only from the standpoint of attendance but also from the trade aspect. The week opens Monday with an elaborate program, and continues through the week with unceasing festivities and unusual opportunities for visiting merchants to gain help ful Ideas and information and to car ry on their marketing. Last fall the attendance totaled 050 visiting mechants. Wholesalers esti mate that the attendance will total more than 1.200 merchants this year. They base this 'estimate on the op timistic reports from salesmen. Entertainment for All. In Omaha merchant market weeks are not regarded from tile dollar and cents standpoint. The week here is unique, in that it provides the sort of entertainment which wives and families, as well as the merchants themselves, can enjoy. The unfailing success of tho week is attributed lo a large extent to this sort of en tertainment. The week also affords a personal contract between the merchants and officials of big houses which invari ably results in \Varm friendship, so that, even though merchants spent not a single cent during their visit, most wholesalers would consider the week a valuable affair. There is Interest, however. In the amount of money any big gathering brings to the city, and a prominent wholesaler estimates that during market weeks o* the past few sea sons the average out-of-town mer chant has ordered merchandise worth $750. This estimate is based on busi ness during a period of depression, however, and with the present low slocks throughout the country this same wholesaler is confident the average order this fall will amount to $1,000. So, assuming that the at tendance is only 1,000, orders which will tie placed will total $1,000,0000, In addition to the general good will and activity created by the week. Wholesalers Praise Week. Here Is how several of the score of Omaha wholesalers interested in Ihc week feel about the prospects of its success: H. M. Hundley of Byrne ft Ham mer Dry Hoods company: With im proving general conditions we ex pect to entertain the largest number of merchants ever assembled at one time In the Omaha market.

Kor last night Mars was only some 34,000,000 miles away.

The train was stopped by "robbers,” who cut the mail car loose. Instantly great calcium lights were turned from the car, so bright a robber 20 feet away could have been shot. This picture, made late at night, was made by the flare of the lights. Mail clerks immediately opened fire through small portholes, similar to those in army tanks. When the "rob bers” sought to get under the car to avoid the fire from the portholes the mail clerks opened fire through the floor with riot guns, to which were attached shot deflectors, which scattered buckshot over a wide range. Theoretically, all the bandits were killed, the mail clerks being saved by the steel-jacketed car. Apartment Meteorologist at Omalia Tells How to Keep Cool on Hot August B Days. lAIfANS could live under ground and keep cool during the hot August days, Hays M. V. Robins, meteorologist of the local weather bureau. Apartments or rooms built below the buildings or houses would be much eooier than the upstairs rooms these days. "Cool air of the night enuld be poured Into the deep cellar of a house to Insure proper ventilation." Mr. Robins declares, "and that coolness w'ould remain for some time. With descent below the surface the times of maximum and minimum tempera ture are retarded as murh as several months at good depths. Annual changes of ground temperature fol low after those of the air abo\e to a depth of so feet. Far From Cool. "Heat of the ground is fi om the interior of the earth and by the sun. The heat of the sun raises tlie tem perature on the earth rather than from within. Any place where the sun doesn't reach is, of course, the place to make the summer quarters. Even an apartment in a skyscraper is far from cool, although it may have good ventilation and plenty o£ breeze. Artificial daylight and proper flooring and walls would make the cellar rooms ideal. "An upstairs room that has be come unbearable during the hot day can he cooled a number of degrees by hanging a wet sheet there. If the sheet is kept saturated with water. the evaporation will chill the air per ceptibly. The process of cooling is a ‘salt and ice' one of evaporation. Many business houses use the blower fans over Ice." Expensive, But (ioo4. Prof. ‘Willis 1.. Moore, former chief of the I'nited States weather bureau, has suggested that underground con struction should be of concrete. The ideal location for such a cool place for summer is a hillside, where a conduit leading from its bottom and opening at a lower level will afford air drainage and if supplemented by ventilators on top. the requisite at mospheric circulation. Probably these cellar rooms would he Ideal for winter to be kept warm. Although expensne the system sug gested by Professor Moore is con ceded to be a good on», says Meteor ologist Robins.

BOYD GATEWOOD. 1'nlvergal Service Staff c orreepoodent. Dalian, Tex., Aug. 23.—Texas ap pears today to have burled the Ku Klux Klan under an avalanche of votes and to have repudlsted the klan ( candidates in the state-wide primary election by an overwhelming majority in a reoord-breaking vote. Rarely has there been a major po litical contest in Texas in which the Bigns in the political heavens pointed so preponderantly to a single result as this stormy campaign which came to a climax today. Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, first woman candidate for a governorship, seems to have been swept into office in a flame of antl-klan sentiment which blazed across Texas three weeks arc and sent all of its fore most political leaders hastening to the stump with the cry. "the woods are on fire and the klan will be caught in the conflagration." Vote Records Smashed. And that is what today's election appears to have been, a rtate-wide conflagration. The first primary elec tion, held July 26, smashed all rec- / ords in Texas for big votes, piling up 702.<K>0 In the state. This election a ill exceed that record by severnl thousand ballots, if the signs hold Cp a» they have been In all section!# of the state. 7 »l!x D.'Robertson of Dallas, klan candidate for governor, appears to have been caught in the tidal wave of evident anti-klan sentiment and swept into political obscurity with only the sra«ll distinction of being the first man beaten by a woman fev the governorship of the Lone Star «tate. largest in the union. Mrs. Ferguson remained secluded »t i he- home in Temple throughout the day. save when she went to her okt ; home polling place and cast a ballot for herself. She was accompanied l by- her towering husband, for whom -he r.vde the race as one ef vindica tion for hi* Impeachment 10 years ago. and who campaigned the state for her In his typically Texas man ! ner. which i» the very essence of | pour it on ’em.” Mrs. Ferguson Jubilant. A« the hours wore on and It be |<anm evident over the state that Texas had surged to the polls like an army repelling invasion, Mr*. Fergu son became Jubilant "Sbe'll win by 200,POO votes," said her husband. James E. Ferguson. The Ku Klux Klan and the cohorts of Invisible government have been dealt a death Wow in this state." S'bere were no disorders reported up to the approach of the hour for closing of the polls. The election moved off orderly enough. Ideal i weather prevailed everywhere in the | state. A notable feature of the elec ! tion was the enormous woman vote teing cast. Out of their town houses, out of their farms, off ranches and from store and factory the women of Teams trooped to the voting boxes | .ill day, thousands in the rural dis trict wearing sunbonnets and chant - I mg hymns against the klan. Interest High. Interest remained at high pitch *11 day.
