„ A properly dressed window will contribute to the winter coziness
of your home, keep it warmer and reduce expenditures for fuel by
blocking drafts from the outside and loss of heat from the inside.
* The ideal window dress pictured here is a snug-fitting Venetian
blind with full-hung draperies of light-weight wool. A simple valance
adds a decorative touch and prevents drafts and heat loss at the top
of the windows.
Tests by the Armour Research Foundation of Chicago show that
the blinds can save enough in fuel costs to pay for themselves during
their long term of usefulness. An air space is formed between closed
'slats of the blind and window glass that prevents drafts from enter
ing the room and interior heat' from escaping.
f Windows, are naturally, not the only factors to be considered in
’insulating your home, but they can do their part gracefully and effec
tively with the proper treatment. __
HOIf THE GAS PLANT
W ILL BE USED
The District in order to insure a
full supply of gas for their customers
have taken the following steps in
case there should be breaks in the
mains, floods or other acts of grovi
dents. . ^
*> j« A M ..
First — The Utilities have irtstfalled
in the gas plant 10 large PropaJie
tanks holding in all 25,000 gallons in
the liquid form. PropOne is a petro
leum product. A gallon of propane
will vaporize into 36 cu. feet of 2500
btu propane fas.
Second—This gas will be mixed with
our old 600 Btu gas which we still
manufacture. The propane gas will be
redcue to 1000 btu and both gases
stored for an emergency in our No 5
Holder. The holers are the large tanks
you see when you drive by the gas
works.
Thirdly—We will store full of natural
gas No. 6, 7, and our high pressure
holder.
Fourth—We will keep Our No. 8 hol
der full of 600 btu gas. Now should
there be an emergency we will mix
the three gasses reduced to 1000 Btu
fromour reserve tanks and shoot this
mixture through the mains. This mix
ed gas will operate like natural gas
so that you can not tell the difference
in the burning of your gas appliances.
Just exactly what goes on in the
old plant now days you say wish to
know. Here is the story.
A new engine room and gas pumps
have been installed to pump the gas
from storage and push it through the
mains. Some changing in piping have
beefi made to faciliate distribution.
All Natural gas is conditioned at
the gas plant. That is it is first odor*
ized, since natural gas is odorless,
Then it is fogged, thot is mixing gas
with an oil spray, then the gas is
humidified or spraying it with live
steam. This is done to prevent leak
age at the joints in gas mains, since
natural g asis a dry gas.
The gas plant in a case of a sus
tained emergency can resume full pro.
duction in eight hours of the old 600
Btu gas since we have in stock a full
inventory of all the necessary mater
ial We have in our emergency tanks
all the gas necessary to keep the gas
flowing until we could resume full
production of 600 btu gas.
The high pressure holder that is
thd green ball you see on 21 and
Martha looking like a big ballon)
could provide necessary pressure un
til the pusher pumps go into opera
tion.
Engineers and fireman are on duty
24 hours a day. The boilers provide
heat for the buildings, the Service
Building across the street and the
ice plant at 20 and Poppleton and the
Poppleton Avenue Pumping Station
are supplied by a steam line from the
gas plant. The boilers heat the water
in the holders in winter to keep the
water from freezing and supply live
steam for all other purposes. Gas
makers are on the job and experts '
are on duty to condition the gas.
Maintence men are at work to keep !
the plant in immediate operating con- !
dition.

THE PRICE IFE PAY
FOR PREJUDICE
By Banche Alice Rich
The Negro in our country has suf
fered more gravely than any other
group. It is often suggested that the
Negro should lift himself by his own
bootstraps, but it ns usually forgotten
that his feet are set in concrete.
Many of us want sincerely to eradi
cate the problem of racism in our
country.
Race prejudice is not only a sha
dow over the colored—it is a shadow
over all of us, and the shadow is
darkest over those who feel it least
and allow its evil effects to go on.
It is the white people who are en
dangered most by race prejudice. We
cannot grow in strength and eader
ship for democracy as ong as this
problem exists, for as surely as night
follows day, our country will fail in
its democracy because of race pre
judice unless we root it out.
We are endangered in the world
where there are many millions more
of colored people than of white. The
world will close down on us some
day if race prejudice goes on divid
ing us.
^understanding rather than
meaness, make men unjust to each
other. Ignorance and prejudce feed
upon each other. The ignorant are al
ways prejudiced, and the prejudiced
> are always ignorant.
■ Our attitudes, our prejudices and
segregation are more harmful to
America as a whole than to Negroes
i or any minority group. Our racial pat
■ terns are hurting our economy and
handicapping us. It is keeping us
' from full use of Negroes and break
ing the morale of millions who make
up the minority groups.
Hate must never be permitted to
strangle Amerca. If it does our nation
will be a sck nation. It will even
eventualy die. The disease of hate is
a disease to which people have not
yet become immune. It is a disease
of the human mind which people have
not yet learned to control. To under
stand it and keep it from spreading
we must attach it the same as we
would attach any disease of the body.
All of us realize that racism is pre
valent. But, too often, we are all
responsible. We must open our eyes
and ears. We must see what is hap
pening to people against whom pre
judice is directed and to people who
holds prejudice in their minds, how
prejudce is attaching both the tor
mented and the tormentors. We must
recognize its growth and spead. We
must know what harm prejudice is
doing everywhere.
The highest wisdom is to know the
truth, the highest virtue is to do
right. One should have either the
brains to lead or the faith to follow.
To be willing to live the truth is a
greater virtue than to be willing to
die for one’s opinions.
Justice and liberty are for all or
for none. Injustice cannot linger in
a land that is really bright with free
dom’s holy light. An individual or
people cannot long remain both Jek
yll and Hyde, for one character or
the other wi|l evdntu^Uy trjumph.
A race cannot be persistently unjust
and dishonest to another race and be
permanently either honest or just to
itself. Kindness never degraded any
one. A virtuous man is an asset to
his community—and a vicious man is
a deficit—regardless qi race identity.
Let all the friends of humanity,
bend every energy to increase the
Negroes’ respect and patience. Encou
rage Negroes in professions and busi
ness. It will help every body.
And this should be the Christian
duty and patriotic obligation of every
true American.
‘‘If we all set our eyes on justice
for all men, the momentum of right
1 eousness will overcome all obstales,
even the race question.”

POLITENESS
If I could command the speech of
twenty nations I would praech polite
ness in them all. It is the Aladdin's
lamp of success. I do not speak idly
in praise of politeness, for out of
the experience of fifty-six years in
the bainkiqg business it has been
borne in upon me almost daily that
courtesy is one of the prime factors
in the building up of every character.
It is the hallmark of the Christian
gentleman and of the keen man of
aaffirs.
1 William Penn wrote: ‘’The wisdom
of nations lies in their proverbs,
which are brief and pithy. Collect
and learn them; they are notable
measures and direction for human
life; you have much in little; they
save time in speaking, and upon oc
casions may be the fullest softest an
swers.” Because there is so much in
terest in China at the present time
we have gathered a few of her pro
verbs :
Just scale and a full measure in
jure no man.
Going to law is losing the cOw
for the sake of the cat.
All the virtues are in peril when
filial piety is attacked.
A collection of good sentences re
sembles a string of pearls.
Rogues differ little. Each began
first as a disobedient son.
What is whispered in your ear is
often heard a hundred miles off.**
A wise man adapts himself to cir- '
cumstances as water shapes itself to '
the vessel that contains it. 1 /
A single conversation across the i
table with a wise man is worth a }
month’s study of books.
Not the cry, but the flight Of the }
wild duck, leads the flock to fly and '
follow.
Think of your own faults the first
part of the night while you are
awake, and the faults of others the
latter part of the night when you
are asleep.

The Public
Approves This
Kind of
Action
The conditions in the state’s
taverns are decidedly improved
over that of several years ago.
Most Nebraska tavern owners,
today, keep their places clean
and wholesome, and operate in
an orderly, acceptable manner.
The present-day beer retailer
! goes out of his way to avoid
any practice or condition that
may be displeasing to the gen
eral public.
Violations of the law such as
sales to minors or to intoxicat
ed persons are constantly
guarded against, and tavern
owners refuse to tolerate noise
or boisterous conduct.
These improved conditions are
largely the result of the Ne
braska Committee’s program
of self-regulation. This pro
gram, now in its 10th year, has
been so effective it has won the
approval of the public. Its ac
tivities will continue with un
abated vigor.
