RESOLUTIONS ARE NOT PASSED
Reaaoa ie that but five Meanbers
of the Society Are Present
Want Better ry for
Women Workers,
The bmaha Woman Huffrage society
has drawn up a set of New Tear's resolu
tions which make the resolutions of mere
man anent the water wugon, my lady
nicotine, etc., pale Into Insignificance,
since they look to no less a consummation
than the regeneration of the city of
Omaha. Tho resolutions were prepared
by the executive committee, presented at
Wednesday's meeting, but not acted upon,
becausu only five members were present.
Resolution 1, after stating that Omaha
government is corrupt; that government
from a male point of view cannot govern
Justly both men and women; that great
problems of a social nature are as much
women s problems as men's; that a new
form of government Is soon to go Into
eflect, resolves to secure from every
commissioner a statement of his atti
tude toward woman suffrage, to work for
women's appointments to offices under
which social problems come.
Resolution 2 promises to help Omaha
womon teachers In a campaign for equal
pay with men and suggests a committee
to report wages of men and women
teachers and janitors.
Resolution 3 deals with the minimum
wage for women, quotes the statement of
a recent report of the National Trade
Union league that the minimum wage on
which a girl can live respectably Is $12 a
week, and doc'ares that moral obliquity
of women and girls comes from low
wages. It resolves that since the Omaha
merchants have Just passed through an
unusually profitably Christmas season,
the suffrage society will support the 112
minimum wage for Omaha women
workers and that the Commercial club,
Omaha Woman's club and mlnlsters.be
asked their aid In a campaign for the
minimum wage. A commltteo Is asked to
Investigate wage and working conditions
of Omaha women with a view of gaining
the minimum wage.
Dairy Inspector
Makes Suggestions
Dairy Inspector Claude F. Bossie, sub
mitting his annual report to the health
commissioner, outlined the work that has
been accomplished by use of the dairy
scoring card. He also pointed out that
Omaha receives the cleanest milk In
the t'nited Htates, according to reports,
nt from 1 to 2 cents per quart cheaper.
Tho recommendations he makes In his
report follow:
"1. That the milk inspector who takes
samples from the various dairies be in
strurftd to take at least one vample from
each dairy monthly and that the amount
of butter fat each sample contains be
published in conjunction with monthly
score.
'2. That nil the different brands of
condensed milk and evaporated cream
sold In Omaha be tested monthly and re-
lilt published.
"3. That the milk ordinance be amended
so that a standard of 3.5 per cent butter
fat be provided, and also to provldo a
mandard for cendeiibed milk,
"4. That the so-called sediment test be
maJe from time to time upon all milk
shipped Into the city, and previous to
pasteurization, if found dirty, to destroy
same.
"That the ordinances be so amended
that the health commissioner be given
power to suspend any milk license (pend
Ing a hearing) upon a satisfactory show
ing made by the dairy Inspector that
said licensee has failed to comply with the
rules of department as to sanitary regu-
lat.ons."

FREIGHT f RAINSMEET IN CRASH
Wrerklnan Crewa Are Sent Ont from

Kngineer Wilson and Fireman Fisher
were killed In a Chicago A Great Western
head-on collision at llentlry, seventeen

siding at Bentley to be passed by No.
t6. The crew made the run to the meet
ing point and was backing Into tho siding
from the east end. The curs had been
pushed In and the engine was almost
ready to clear when No. sr, running at
about twenty milts an hour came around
the oirve, having orders to run Into
Council Bluffs.
Both engineers realized the danger at
about the same Instant and whistled for
brakes, but It was too late, for a minute
later the engine No. M hit that of No.
IW and with terrible force. The two en
gines crumpled like card boxes, burying

John Behm Recalls
Early Life in Omaha
John P. Behm, who was engaged In
houae moving for many years after re
turning to Omaha from the war in 18U6.
sheds some new light on the history of
the old drug store building at Twenfth
and Dodge, streets. "It was built In 1M6,"
said Mr. Behm, on the south side of
Farnam street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, by John Logan, who occu
pied It as a grocery store. It stood at
that location until 1806. when we moved
It to the present location for A. D. Jones,
who was then occupying a house on thi
rear of the lot, fating Dodge street. An
Incident of the early day that I will never
forget was the death of the only child
of Mr. Jones., Alfred, a chum of mine
before I enlisted. He died In the Jones
home on Dodge street, and was burled in
the yard at the rear of the house. Such
burials on the home spot were not con
sidered improper in those days, and quite
few of the old Omaha families burled
relatives In their own yards In the 'M."

Dr. Nichols Tells
of New Scientific
Management Course
Dr, l'rnrst F. Nichols, president of
Dartmouth college, whs the guest of
honor of the' University club of Omaha
at a tioondny luncheon Thin vlay. The
large dining room wits crowded t ca
pacity by members of the cru and prom
inent men Interested In the sub.leet Dr.
Nichols was to discuss. "Scientific Man
agement." Clement Chaso presided and
Introduced the speaker.
President Nichols opened with an ex
planation of what scientific management
means In Industrial establishments. He
told how men had been taught to handle
four times more plglron In a day with
about the same, expenditure of effort as
in tho handling of twelve tons before In
structions; how bricklayers had been
taught to lay three or four times as many
brick under systematized conditions as
they did under the methods handed down
to apprentices from other generations.
With the Idea of developing the best
thought on these lines, Dartmouth college
had last fall culled a conference of manu
facturers, financiers and business men,
and this conference drew representatives
from all the states and from Canada.
Its discussions and conclusions are to be
published n little later, and Dr. Nichols
promised It will bo the lliost valuable
book on the subject yet put out.
Dr. Nichols gave an Interesting review
of the specialized training that Dartmouth
is giving men In Tuck college. They nro
given opportunity to take post graduate
work In mechanics, in finance, in nr.
counting, in engineering. "We do not
claim," he said, "to turn out men who
can teach an employer how to run his
business light off, but we do claim to
turn out men aiiosn special training Is
based on a broad general education, and
who are well equipped to develop Into
valuable men In the different lines they
elect to follow."
Many Are After the
Omaha Postoffice
Tho air of expectancy In the Omaha
postoffice is becoming almost thick
enough to cut with a knife as the tlmo
approaches for the appointment of a
postmaster. Postmuster "Ben" Thomas,
who has been hanging on by his eyebrows
for a year, was giving It out up to re
cently that he was suro of reappointment
In fuct, that he had to have It because
it was the only way to vindicate Ills
good name. On the outside he Is still
putting up the talk that he expects a sec
ond term, but on the Inside It Is known
that Thomas has been laying down gn
Senator Brown to hold him In till after
the primary In April, Intimating that un
less this Is done, Senator Brown's vote
will suffer terribly.
In tho Interval the other candidates
for the postoffice plum, both avowed
and receptive, are piling up endorsements.
The most active candidates arc Franklin
S. Hliotwcll. D. M. Haverly, Harry 11.
Zimman and George II. Thummel, with
Charles E. Black, John C. Wharton, John
Grant and Charlea L. Saunders on the
waiting list. The commission of Post
master Thomas expires about February
IT), and his -successor la due to be named
In two or three weeks.
G. G. Wallace Takes
Commission Blank
Councilman O. F. Brucker has filed his
petition with the city clerk as a candidate
for the nomination for city commis
sioner. The requisite 100 signatures are
attached. This is the first petition to

Sjveral petitions have been taken out.
but It Is not known for whom all of them

Evry Woman Has a
Right to Bo Beautiful
(Annie lily In The Graphic.)
'A clear, soft nnd satiny complexion
Is every woman's tight. It can be
achieved by rubbing your face, neck and
arms gently each morning with a solu
tion made by dissolving u small original
P'lokngo of mayatone In n hnlf plnt of
witch hazel. This Is a true complexion
bcautlfier nnd prevents growth of hair.
'It Is a mistake to wash tho head, for
in addition to danger of catching cold,
sonp and water take tho life out and
leave the hair (lull and brittle. Ihy
shampooing keeps tho hair soft, wavy
and beautifully lustrous. Put a cupful of
corn meal In a fruit Jar and mix with It
the contents of a smnll original package
of therox. Just sprinkle on tho head and
brush through tho hair. It brushes out
easily nnd takes all dirt with It.
