LAX METHODS ARE AT FAULT Urates f Isaalnc ftappliea fcy Permits Operation t rheae Families mm Raoba for Twenty Year. Two forms of graft which have been worked on charitable associations for year, tiav been unearthed by th board! of county commissioners, who recently aeke.1 th Associated Charities to tske up the work connected with the county department. Records of the county board show that many persons -have been living off of charity for mor thsn twenty year and th charity habit ha been handed down from generation to generation. The records also show that many persons have been receiving help from th county and at th same time making regular payments on homos, which hsve been bought on the Installment plan. These systems have been made possible by the lax methods which prevailed In the county office many years back before the dispensing of charity wa reduced to a system Though the Investigation haa not been completed, records have been produced to how that these two forms of graft have been worked systematically for mor than twenty years In some instances. "The charity habit ha become chronic among many famllle In Omaha," said on of th county commissioner Tuesday morning. "Record show that twenty or thirty years ago, som people were given help. And the habit ha been handed down to the children and grandchildren. There objects of charity have evidently Instructed their children how to approach the association and get on the payroll. Some of these families have made It a profession, this method of getting help, and the younger generation has developed the system to the highest possible plane. Several Pay for Horn. Though deplorable, this system Is not con sidered ss flagrant as that which has per mitted peopl to pay for their home while they were receiving aid from the associa tion. The latter scheme was easily worked as the methods m vogue In the charity of feces at the time made It easy. Cards were Issued to families entitling them to so much coal each month and to a certain number of orders of groceries. Tne recipients of the cards lived off the sup plies secured from the county store. In the meantime they hustled enough to earn money to make payments on homes whicn had been bought on the Installment plan. In a few cases the grafters have been en abled to pay out the total cost of their homes. Oa Roll Forty Years. The records show that one man haa been on the charity payroll for forty years. Under the system recently Instituted by the Associated Charities, when this office was requested to takt over the dispensing of county money such practices will be Im possible. The charity office is calling In these cards and confiscating them. Of more than 130 cards issued the Associated Char ities has succeeded in confiscating nearly 100. The collecting of the others is but a question of time a they are taken up as fast as they are presented. The Investigation has not been completed. Of fifty cases Investigated It has been found that ten ' paupers" wer paying for homes on th Installment plan. Doubonett Cocktail Puts Society Folks Truly "Under Table" Three Little Drinks Put Three Very Proper People "All to the Bad" They Blame the Cook, The "Doubonett" cocktail Is a perfectly proper drink sometimes. They are perfectly proper persons sll three of them all the time. But three "Doubonett" cocktails put the three under the table. It sll happened out West Farnam way In a perfectly proper home, early Sunday evening, too. A fashionable surgeon was one of the trio of friends enjoying a sociable half hour before th play. "Oh. I just love mixed drink." purred the tall brunette. Th host deftly poured forth the In gredients and stirred the rt with a long mixing spoon just like a really truly bar tender. "Just enough for three." h remarked, as he filled the glasses for his guests. "You see I always take mine straight." Three cute little cocktail disappeared. Then the guests wilted and th tall bru nette lolled over like a drooping Illy. The parlor looked more like a hospital an hour later. "You'll be all right In time for the second act," said th surgeon en couragingly after they had been restored i consciousness. "That was a lovely drink, but It seemed rather strong, don't you think," sug gested the brunette, as she opened her eyes. This Is not a poison plot In high society. In fact, there is -nothing to it at all ex cept that the hiusemaid had put tlie chafing dish fuel In the gin bottle. No Bids Received for Lighting the City Gas Company, However, is Required to Send In a Bid Under Its Franchise. No one seems to want the Job of lighting the streets of Omaha with gas for a period of three years. Though bids have been ad vertised and are to be opened Tuesday afternoon, not a single bid had been re ceived by the city clerk up to noon Mon day. City official have begun to wonder whether they are going to get any offera. The Omaha Gas company, however, will send In a bid, as It Is required to do under It franchise. General Manager Clabaugh of the company stated that a bid would be sent in Tuesday morning. While the bida are pending, th council will tackle the resolution offered by Coun cilman Funhouser last Tuesday night, which provides for the appointment of a commission of three to adjust the differ ences between the city and the gas com pany for street lighting for the last five years. Funkhouser'e resolution provides for the sppolntment of three, one by the city, another by the gas company and the third to be selected by these two, to formu late some basis of settlement If possible. The resolution will come up at th meeting of the committee of the whole Monday afternoon. According to many member of the council, this body will delay action on Funkhouser's measur this afternoon. Th resolution Is not received with favor among the councilmen, aa they take It to mean that the council la unable to solve the question and the resolution directly calls on outside help to adjust the differences. This is the main reason why the resolution I being opposed and will be laid over for a week at least.

Miss Ida V. Jontz, secretary of the As sociated Charities, has gone all discover ers of the meanest man alive one better. She discovered two of them Monday morn ing. To make )e task easy, both strolled Into th office with the aame request. Either from sheer ignorance or from an oversupply of that IndlHpenslble quality known as nerve, both told a story which made the attachea of the office sit up and take notice. In brief, they wanted the of fice to provide for their support, albeit they wer able bodied and possessed of sufficient brawn snd muscle to look a tiger In the face ar.fl spit in its eye. To make the coincidence of their re quests all the more remarkable, they gave the same address and Investigation de veloped that they told the truth. They itave the names of Charles Newstrom and Charles Petersen and said they lived at ST.17 North Thirty-ninth street. Newstrom offered this story In behalf of his plea for help. "I am a married man with a wife and several children. My wife, who Is sixty years old. Is strong and able to work. She supports the family by dally labor, but she won't support me and h won't let me live with the family. Now I don't want you to provide for their keeps but I think you should hand me ccoush e"ry month to let me live In com fort." Petersen told a similar atory. differing from that told by Newstrom In that Ills family was not In Omaha. Petersen said his family still lived In the old country and that the members were getting enough money to live In comfort. But he opined that as the earnings of the family did not reach aa far as Omaha charity office should look after him. Miss Jonts told these applicants what she couldn't do for them, hlch, In effect, was that the ''nothing doing" sign waa hung out especially for their kind. The Yelloas Peril.

II ALUMNI TO CONTROL COLLEGE Nebraska Graduates of Allegheny Get Board Representation, PRESIDENT MINISTERS' GUEST Dr. W. H. Crawford la Fit trrt alaed by Methodist Clergymen at l.smch- t'omea West to Or (aalie Work. Some time In the future the Omaha and Lincoln alumni of Allegheny college. Mead vllle. Pa., will be organised and given rep resentation on the board controlling that Institution. This assurance was given Monday by Dr. William H. Crawford, pres ident of Allegheny college, who was given a complimentary luncheon at the Hotel Iyal at noon by about tllrty Methodist ministers of Omaha, South Omaha and vicinity. Dr. Crawford explains that' at the last annual meeting of the cortege board that body voted to give the alumni of th col lege representation on the board and In order to organise the groups of alumni In at least the larger cities of the west. Dr. Crawford was chosen to conduct the work of organising and he came here on that mission, en route to the Taclflo coast "The most effective organisations will be formed on the Paclfio coast," said Dr. Crawford In speaking of tils work in the west, "for there are to be found the largest groups of alumni. Why there are not more of them in the middle west I am not able to explain, but It Is true that there are more alumni on the coast than In any other part of the country. There do not seem to be enough of them to form an ef fective association here, but I feel confi dent that later on it will be possible for the Omaha and Lincoln alumni to organize Jointly. "The largebt groups In the country are at Los Angeles and Pasadena, and we will have two very effective organizations there. Alumni are to be found ,ln en couraging numbers also in Seattle, Tort land and other Pacific coast cities. I will be in Lincoln Tuexday to meet the alumni there and then I go to Denver and across the divide." Dr. Crawford Is not only organizing the alumni, but he la seeking to establish closer relationship between the college he represents and the high schools of the country. It is the desire of the college board that a better understanding be es tablished "between the college and high schools, especially with relation to cur riculums. In every city vUlted by Dr. Crawford he familiarizes himself with the work carried on in the high schools, and upon his return ho will make a full report of his findings to the college board.

He figured if Calumet, the new baking powder, selling at a moder ate price, could be so successful, there must be some gooes in it. So be took a hand, and bought a can of Calumet, emptied the can containing her "favorite" baking powder and filled it with Calumet. That evening, unsuspecting the trick, Wifey prepared and served torn, of her famous biscuit piping hot, temptingly browned and puffed up to airy lightness, they were even more delicious than usual. Hubby, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in convincing her that the basis . 01 tne improvement was Calumet liaking powder. And so an ever lasting friend for Calumet was made. .u, 'w 'I'm 111 J Sr. r: This truthful little Incident simply prove that tb housewife is oftimes prejudiced against ail baking powder except the one she ha been using for years.
