Aesthetic dancing as an art has taken a firm hold upon the Imaginations of the young people of Omaha, particularly those who have means and leisure to study It with persistence and according to well worked out theories. As a way of making children graceful and healthy and as a social training for older people It Is gain ing many adherents and the old-time dan cing school h considered hardly sufficient as an education in things terpslchorean tor ths modern young woman. Some young men even may be found in the classes and many little boys. The young people who are to perform Saturday afternoon and night were trained for the most part In the school of Miss Lowden. on the top floor of the City Na tional bank building. Here, In a spacious room overlooking the valley of the Mis souri, and with a splendid view of the city and the river they are educated by Mies Lowden and her assistants In the beauties of graceful movement; Their success In attaining these qualities of ease o.auiy win be displayed at the thea tfi. All the resources and skill of the children will i p,lt to test In difficult and elaborate bailors. Aa numbers are now arranged, the first will be the Grecian flower carnival. The costumes are especially lovely In this num ber and the participants are chosen from among the city's debutantes anrt .n,.i, maidens. They will be clad In the simple' """'" garments or the Greeks, with no . color except the flowers they carry. Great wreaths and festoons of flowers will be used In the figures, and at the end of the scene a shower of rose petals will fall upon the dancers. The beauty of this ballet.wllj be enhanced by the use of U the lighting facilities of the Brandels theater. The second movement will be a moonlit scene snd will be charming.

It will be thoroughly and typically Irish. There will be an Irish lilt and an Irish Jig, and they will be danced by little misses who have the natural enthusiasm and spirit to carry them through . with dah and abandon. The closlng of this number wUI be still another novelty. Mr. Hugh Wal lace, tenor, will sing a group of real' Irish songs. These will not be the Imitation Irish melodies that are so commonly heard, but the real thing, with the lilt of Erin In them. Mr. Wallace and Miss Mabel Bu chanan will act out a pretty pantomime of Irish love-making as a finale. The mem bers of Hie ballet are to be: Misses .

From Ireland It Is but a short way to England. English country life will be por trayed In a hunting pantomime. The gay scarlet 'eoats of the huntresses and the diminutive jocklea will make this number brilliant.

GIVES ADVICE AGAINST FLIES Persona Wis Permit Weeds Get Rank W ill Be Arrested I alll They Obey the City Or. elsasm. "Owners who permit weeds to grow on their property will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." says D. R. W. Connell, health commissioner. Tiie health commissioner has isaued warnings to all residents of the city. 'He says he means burners from the Jumn and any one who refuses to comply with the regulations will not be yanked into police coure once, but as often as. he violates the orders. "Nothing Is more detrimental to the health of a community than unsightly weeds throughout the city," said the health commissioner. "Absolutely no ex cuse, save laiiness. can be offered for per muting the weeds to grow. Tbe ordinances are strict on this question and I propose te see that they are enforced. "If citisens will take time by the fore lock and no,t allow the weeds to get a start, it will be an easy matter to stamp them out. But once they gef going right. It la next to Impossible to kill them. Now Is the time to get busy." Dr. Connell has also declared war on the penky house fly. Declaring that it Is re sponsible for more diseases than any other thiee contributing causes. Dr. Connell has offe.-ed 'suggestions, which will put the house fly out of business. "Flies breed in piles of refuse, which are permitted to accumulate during the winter months," says the health commissioner. "Coining from these places, the legs of the files are loaded with deadly disease producing germs, which work havoc once they Btt a foothold tn any home. Espe cially do they attack babels, which are unable to protect themselves. "If cltisi ns will get a solution of sulphate of iron, about a half pound to a gallon of water, and sprinkle It on these refuse ac cumulations, the larvae will be killed. The sulutlon is inexpensive and will repay the trouble many times over." On another page will be found the rules) governing the Boeklovers' CeateeC watchword In a campaign for this very thing started by ' the Northwestern last Julys Safety first, efficiency and economy next declared the official who started the movement and the experience has proved It to be the best working plan ever devised for these three necessities tn railroad work. The plan has saved thousands of the employes of the company from accident, Statistics showing a 60 per cent decrease In accidents In April of 1HU over the same month In 1910. In addition It has saved the company thousands of tons of Coal and material because looking for defects that might cause accident, the defects in man ner of caring for material and waste of material appear also and are corrected. In the month of April, 1911. there were 332 accidents, as compared with 644 In April, 1910. This Is the first time that there has been a full decrease of 50 per cent, but the statistics show that from July 1, 1910, to April 1, 1911, the number of employes Injured was 6, S01. against 6.7M In the for mer year. This decrease of 905 people In jured came In the ten months of organiza tion and In the near future the road hopes to reduce a much greater percentage. The plan of working is so simple that it might have been working out through mere experience years ago, on many railroads. On the last Saturday of each month, be ginning last spring, the company officials called meetings of men from every branch f the service to discuss the problem. The meetings were held In the offices of the division superintendents and the division mechanics and questions of operation and suggestions for Improvements taken up. The division superintendents met with the general superintendent later and sugges tions that appeared as likely of good re sults were taken up with the general man agers and put Into effect Saggestlous from All. Starting on this crude system It soon be come possible for the lowliest employe, a track walker or an engine wiper, to make any suggestion In regard to the saving of life and limb in his department and In the next orders he may see It come out with the president's name under It Steps for organisation of the road have been taken and now in each division there is a committee of investigation of all safety auggeetions. Division safety com mittees composed of division officials also have been formed and all reports go to a central safety committee which takes them up seriously and Investigates them. In the working out of their system the safety committee reports show that it Is the little things that nave causea tne worst acci dents and nothing Is now too small to be passed over. R. C. Richards, general claim agent, la the chairman of the central committee and other members are S. G. Strickland, gen eral division superintendent; H. T. Bentley, assistant superintendent of motive power; O. B. Shrand. trainmaster Chicago termi nals; C. H. Osborne, assistant superintend ent car department; W. J. Towns, engineer maintenance of way; H. E. Rlckensen, di vision superintendent; W. B. Dunham, su pervisor motive power and machinery, and E. E. Nash. Home of the ideas presented and being used In the system to keep the idea of "the conservation of men and things" "be fore each employe are most original, many of them appear hardly worth considering. But each man Is working with good spirit and the spirit between the official and the M. hV t 1 A a A 1 VC Vw AAA A V A A A -f - V V V 'sst such bargain prices on printed and inlaid lin oleums as we phall offer for Monday one day only.
