To the Editor of The Bee: Every day I am con fronted by the spectacle of some one look ing down upon and belittling the waitress, who, through no fault of her own, must wait upon any one who happens to patron ise a public dining room. There is no ap parent reason for this, for In this age the world should admire the worker and no one in a legitimate line of existence should be subjected to sarcasm r ridicule. Waiting on table Is one of the few line of work in which women may Te Independ ent ,for the average wage of t8 a week and board, and the tips received, enable them to live a they should. So why should they be sneered at? Adventure and excite ment are lacking In the life of the wait ress and she often has to work In a much less pretentious building, but the fact are that she Is paid better than the shop girl. My advice Is to admire all who work. We are all servant of one another, so one "has no advantage over another. It la only false custom that has led to the Idea that the shop girl I above the waitress. EDWARD KING, , "1904 South Sixth Street. Council Bluffs. V Names en Street. ' OMAHA, Dec. 4. To the Editor of The Bee: , How I pity tttnee visitors that will come to Omaha to the corn show If they want to find location In Omaha. So few names of streets up, especially In the busi ness sections. So few, comparatively, num bers up. One want to find what . block he Is on. and In some, business blocks one has to look a good deal to find a number up ' that will Inform' him. Business men are very partloular to have number and street on their tatlonery Cards, letter leads, billheads, etc. but very frequently neglect to have that number over their door so one can locate .them readily, and then ' one frequently wants to Jot down the location of a certain store. They will find the name up perhaps a long. Jaw breaking one which Indicates nothing as to location, and of which he cares noth ing. But the number, which if up he could Jot down quickly, he looks In vain for. Then perhaps of a Sunday he will want totigp .to church and will look In the city directory to find the location of the church and 4 will find, for Instance: "Christian church, 26th st a w cor Howard; First Methodist, n w cor 22d & Dodge." Than he wonders where under the heavens How ard and Dodge, streets . are. . After here twenty-four hours he gets on to the num bered streets. He thinks; "Well, perhaps this directory will tell me somewhere be tween It covers where these street are." But, why I why I could they not Just as well give the number of Twenty-sixth street the Christian church Is on, and the number the First Methodist Is on Twenty second street T Then he could know how far north or south, how many blocks from the center of Dodge treet they' are. The numbered streets Indicate location, but Howard, Davenport, indicate no location to a stranger. If the directory maker would always give the number of the num bered street, and then put In "Corner Howard," or whatever street corner It 1, they .would make a great Improvement In their, directory. It would then be a direc tory that " would direct without circumlo cution. In fact, would save the work and space of putting on the street corner, as the ' number would Indicate the corner.

THEORY FITCFTWAS KILLED Relative of Council Sinn's Man Fear He Met Foal Play In ' London. Relatives of E. P. Fitch, the Council Bluffs man who disappeared In England a few. weeks ago, have had no word of htra and not the least sort of new clue has been forthcoming. The search of London ho pltals .has been totally fruitless and the terrible conviction Is forcing Itself on rela tlves and friends that he met With foul play. Th last Item of Information about him was that the letter he gave to some pne to mall while on the train between Dover and London was not mailed until two days after he gave it. This letter gave the'news that he intended to go to a hos pital at once for an operation for append! eitls. The delay in mailing the letter may signify- nothing more than carelessness on the part of the unknown man who mailed It. Relatives and friends In Council Bluffs have appealed to Governor Garst to aid In the search for him. In compliance with the request Governor Garst ha net In mo tion the Btate machinery to aid In the at tempt to locate the missing man. Through the state authorities the Btate department at Washington will be appealed to and the English government will be ' petitioned to make, an extra effort to discover the missing lowan. Mr. Fitch, who resides at 113) Fourth avenue. Council Bluffa, with hla sisters, Miss Julia Fitch and Miss Anna Fitch, was laat heard from October 20. He wrote his alsters then that he had been taken sick While enroute from France to . London England. Since then all efforts on the part of the family to obtain any trace of him have met with no result. . ' too; ROOM by the Information Bureau of the Corn Show. We want everyone having rooms to rent during the Corn Show to list them with us, free of cost, (hat we may fill the rooms as we. have applicants for same. In order to-take care of the crowds, which will bo in Omaha during the National Corn Exposition, it is absolutely necessary for Omaha people, who. have rooms, to offer them and take care of our visitors. By getting your rooms in early it will be much easier to handle them for the Corn Show opens December 9th and we want all thie rooms in by that time. For further particulars call Douglas 2516 and ask for V. D. Dermody. One of the serious problems with which the Board of Education will grapple at the regular meeting Monday evening will be the finances. The latest report of the city treasurer shows' that there Is little more than I1.E0O In the treasury for school purposes. To this will be added about $6,000 from the state apportionment This addition will make It possible to pay most of the school warrant for the month of December. Thl 1 a short month and will not be a heavy drain. The warrant will probably have to be registered after the first of the year until April.' The corpora tlons seldom pay their oounty tax until about that time, so little money will be coming In before that, daje. Most of the money already expended has been derived from liquor licenses. This fund has usually carried the expenses over Into the month of February or about that time, o that there ha been little registering for a number of years. At the beginning of the school year of UKX-, however, a number of extra expenditures for Improvement and new buildings, as well the addition of some new teacher and the purchase of several series of new text books, have drained the treasury rapidly. It 1 believed that the board -will come out at the end of the school year about as well a usual. The rapid development cf the city and the Increase of population ha required the erection of school buildings about as fast as the funds would permit. It 1 likely that new building will be required -by the close of the present year. Lodge Election. The past week - has been an Important one to numerous fraternal societies of the city.
