Pioneers Hold Meeting The monthly
meeting of the Douglas County Pioneers'
association yesterday was largely
attended and was a sort of a family
gathering, there being no business to dli.
pose of. Some thirty-five of the mem
bers gathered in the rooms In the court
house and devoted an hour to recounting
Incidents of pioneer days and renewing
friendships.
Tsamstars Dismissed William Robin
ton, Q. Scott and Ed rang burn, charged
with driving through the. floral parade
last week, were discharged In police
court. All three men are employed' by
Hugh Mtirphy, and were hauling hot as
phalt to Eighteenth and Farnam' street
and had secured permits to pass through
the pageant, as the work to which they
were hauling the asphalt had to be fin
ished, according to contract, that afternoon.
Teachers Will Be
Given Excursions
Around the City
The publicity bureau Is preparing to
send out 19,000 welcome folders of Omaha
to the teachers of the state, who are
expected to attend the meeting of the
State Teachers' aseoctalon hero In No
vember. The folders contain some Inter
esting viewa of Omaha and a lot of
concise Information about the, metropolis.
Invitations are constantly being received
at the publicity bureau from manufac
turers and wholesalers In the city, ask
ing that the teachers visit their plants
during their stay In Omaha.
The excursion feature of the association
meeting is becoming an Important feature
and every year the teachers are taken
In a body through some of tho large man
ufacturing plants of the city. The list of
invitations will be presented to the .teach
ers when they come and a decision will
then be made on a list of those to be ac
cepted for excursions that will be enter
taining and instructive.
Of recent years the idea has grown in
teachers' associations and educational
circles that teachers, besides having a
fund of book Information, Bhould learn
as much as possible about the state In
which they have the care of the young,
and should especially have a compre
hensive knowledge of the large industries
and manufactories In that state. It is
in pursuance of this idea that excursions
of the' teachers are becoming more and
more popular.
Horse is Beaten
Until it Dies
Because a horse which he had purchased
did not .prove to be as good a bargain
as he expected, William Nltche, teamster
living at Twenty-seventh and Mander
son streets. Is said to have beaten the an
imal about the head with a two-by-four,
injuring the beast so severely that he
was fqreed to shoot it.
.Nltche made the purchase Tuesday aft
ernoon, and Wednesday discovered that
the animal was balky. Infuriated at hav
ing driven a bad bargain he secured tho
piece of heavy planking and rained blow
after blow about the htlpless animal's
head. The brute, with blood pouring from
several cuts opened by the board, at
tracted the attention of neighbors with
its moaning. The police were notified
and Humane Officer Hans Nielsen dis
patched, and he had a difficult time in
bringing the man to the station without
trouble from a crowd that had gathered.
In police court Nltche pleaded not
guilty, but tho evidence submitted against
him proved sufficient for Judge Foster
to administer a fine of $25 and costs.
Nltchs appealed the case.

IN WHOLESALE DISTRICT
A branch cafeteria of the Young
Women's Christian association will be
opened In the old Evans laundry building

lunch time did not have time to go very
far from their work for their lunch.

women that we are opening the new
cafeteria. The rooms are almost ready
and we will be able to serve lunches Just
is soon as the equipment arrives, which

"We are facing a form of race suicide
today that you are not yet familiar with,"
saw Charles Frederick Weller of New
York, associate secretary of th Play
grounds and Ilecreatlon Association of
America. In his talk at the Clmmerclai
club at noon yesterday. "It Is a suicide
of the quality of tho race rather than
the quantity," He waa speaking of the
necessity of well regulated playgrounds
In the cities and towns In order that a
wholesome race might continue to thrive.
"We have tested our lives too much by
the cost of the rugs on our floors, or
by the number of (automoblles In the
garages."
Ho tald he believed In the saying in
England that the battle of Waterloo was
won on the playfields of England In giv
ing tho boys, who were to bo the future
soldiers, tho proper kind of play, "The
reason we are all crasy over base ball,"'
he said, "Is that It brings Into action
the motions of stone throwing, of club
wielding and of running, which were the
very foundations of existence- In primitive.
life. And these activities must be kept
alive."
He gave figure's from a tabulation made
In Richmond, Va., which showed that 1
per cent of the children wero on the
playgrounds, 4 per cent on the vacant
lots, 5 per cent In the yards and TO per
cent on the streets. "This he said is a
typical case. A tabulation of the where
about of 1,528 children In Kansas City, he
said, showed 13 per cent working, S3 per
cent playing and 50 per cent doing ab
solutely nothing.
He suggested that Omaha set to work
to study Us own situation In this regard.

"The social service board has decided
It Is without power to Interfere "with,
tangoing, turkey trotting and 'other
shameless exhibitions' at the clubs and
Ak-Sar-Ben ball." says T. F. Sturgess,
who adds, "something ought to be done,
for some of the clubs, whose members
are supposed to know better, have been
guilty of most shameless performances."
Sturgess, chairman of tho social board,
says he Is not afraid to "mention names"
and proceeds to take a rap at tho
Country club for one and mentions the
Omaha club as being a sort of inciden
tal aid to the Country club's "Immoral
Influence."
"After shameless danotng at the Coun
try club some of the men and women
went to the Omaha club and spent the
night," said Sturgess. "I don't care
who knows how the social service board
feels about this matter. We believe we
have a right to expect something differ

community. If they persist In setting
such demoralizing examples, what can
be expected of the publlo dance hall?

YOUTH FORGES LETTER
TO GET INTO THE NAVY
A young man who appeared capable of
passing, all the examinations the navy
recriiltlng officers could think of except
the age qualification, entered the other
day and expressed a desire to become a
sailor. -He was told that it would be
necessary for him to get the written eon
sent of his mother before he could be
enlisted, or her statement to the fact
that he Is of age. Tho young man ap
peared again. He had a letter, dated
from Galesburg, 111. Tho recruiting of
ficers Idly wondered how It was posstblo
to write to Illinois', and recelvo a letter
the second day, and noticed that the
writing was In tho same hand as that
of the young man. When asked If he
had the envelope the letter came In, the
young man produced one with all the
confidence In tho world. It was dated
October 4. "fhe young man was con
fidently advised as to tho quickest exit
of the Federal building.
DANCING TEACHER SAYS
OMAHA IS NOT TANGO MAD
Miss Jewell Simpson, teacher of danc
lng at the Douglas Auditorium academy,
says that though she has advertised for
pupils for her tango class, there have
been so few responses, that she has de
cided to abandon that branch, for the
present at least.
"Out of 200 students, only two have
asked to be taught the tango or Its varia
tions," she said. "The rest are satisfied
with the simple, old-fashioned waltr and
two step.
"This fact convinces me that even
though the tango Is at the height of Its
popularity In the east, and In certain
places here, It will never be universal or
long lived. The average Omaha miss or
youth Is apparently satisfied with tho
waltz or two step at dances, and the lock
legged steps, even though simple), are not
very eagerly sought after. So I don't
think that the social service board Will
need to worry about Omaha going tango
mad."
TEMPERANCE UNIONISTS
