Pictures from the Book of the Arch, Is
to be the name of the big electrical parade
for Ak-Sar-Ben this year to take placa on
the evening of October 7. The Book ot the
i Ages Is the Bible. There are to- be
twenty floats representing each a separate
and striking scene or situation In PIVIcal
literature. The work on the floats has
been going on under the direction of
Artisan Qua Renze for some months, and
Is well under way. The electrical display
Is to be beautiful, and the allegorical rep
resentation Is to be excellent.
The next term of the rresbytrian
Theological seminary will open Wednes
day at 9 o'clock. At 2 o'clock Prof. l. E.
Jenkins will deliver the opening address
In the chapel. All friends of the seminary
are invited to hear this address.
A number of students have already en
rolled for the approaching year ami the
Indications are that the Incoming class
will be large.
Prof. Herron, who was In Germany
when war was declared, reached New
Tork last Monday on the steamer
Rochambeau and after spending . some
days with his mother in Pittsburg will
return to Omaha. It Is expected that he
will soon deliver an address on the con
ditions in Europe.
President A. B. Marshall Is filling the
pulpit of the Presbyterian church of
Beatrice, Neb., on the Sundays of the
month and will also address the presby
tery of Bt Joseph Monday evening.
Living Models to
Display Newest of
v the Fall Styles
Shoppers at the Thompson-Belden com
pany store Monday and Tuesday will be
transported back to the days orf Louis
XVI. The interior of the store will be
transformed into a grape arbor, and lattice-work
with trailing vines will furnish
a clever background for the living models,
who will display the latest In fall fash
Ions. The models will mingle with the
shoppers all over the store and will be
attended by costumed pages, as In the
brilliant days of the French monarch.
The window displays will be most ar
tistic. The rerlod following the Louis
Qulnze regime will be expressed here,
too. In the old rose, gold and white back
ground of the drawing room. Hie paint
ings are copies of original paintings of
that period and the furniture is of the
daintily gilt sort of that period.
This effective setting will be used to
display handsome gowns and exquisite
robes for the ladles of King Ak-Sar-Ben's
court. Many of the models for evening
gowns are in the flowing Mandarin style
and are for the most part of the new
silk chiffon velour and brocaded silk
velour. ;
The military effect has. been utilized In
many of the fall suits, which have high
military collars, much braid, tassels and
gold emblem, and are, of course, fitted
garments instead of the bloused ones that
have been "Popular.. . . 'T - .
Fitch is the popular fur for this season
and many striking novelties are shown
In the fur sets. The collars are often
cape effect, while some are mere neck
pieces In contrasting fur, that may be
fastened on to the muffs, when not in
use, to enhance their beauty.
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
OPENS TERM WEDNESDAY
Tomorrow night Is Omaha night at Ak-Sar-Ben
den. Also the evening's per
formance and Initiation formally closes
the stunts for the season. Thousands of
Omahans are expected to flock to the den
this evening If the weather permits, as
the closing night Is always well attended.
There are hundreds of Omaha members
of Ak-Sar-Ben who have paid their dues,
but who up to the present time have not
been initiated this summer. Many have
been out of town during practically the
whole of the den season. Others for one
reason or the other have been too busy to
get out there during the Monday even
ings. These are to be milled through the
Initiation and performance in a way that
will make them wish they had gone
through when outsiders were made thf
goats of the evening Instead of them
selves. But even after the den has formally
closed, it Is to be opened again on but
one occasion during the season. This
will be Wednesday night of this week
when the bankers of the state In their
convention In Omaha are to be enter
tained and Initiated. Omaha members,
of course, will be admitted also on this
Wednesday evening, even though their
ticket books will have been consumed.
The cover of the books turned In at the
gate will take the place of a ticket for
this occasion.
SHRIVER FINDS BUSINESS
CONDITIONS IN EAST GOOD
W. a. fihriver is back from Pennsyl
vania, where he visited his boyhood home.
In Pennsylvania he found business con
ditions fairly good, but there did not
seem to be the prosperity noted in Ne
braska. The Pennsylvania crops have
been about the average, but high prices
are bringing the farmers more money
than normally.
Mr. Shirver noted that all of the larger
steel mills arc In operation, but not over
crowded with orders. lie was told that
the war had resulted in curtailing the
output, as but few new enterprises are
being launched.
NEW YORK CONCERN WILL
HAVE WAREHOUSE HERE
Omaha is to become the location for a
warehouse or charging station for the
1-lnde Air Products company of New
York. The company has Just decided to
establish such a warehouse here, making1
the fourteenth warehouse, or charging
station of the company in the I'nlted
States. The Industrial committee of thej
Commercial club made some endeavor to
nduce the company to establish a manu
facturing plant In Omaha, but it was
decided by the company officials that
the quantity of their product In the Imme
diate vicinity did not warrant the build
ing Of a factory here.
Bee readers are too Intelligent to over
look the opportunities in the "want ad"
columns. They're worth while reading.
Schools Crowded
by the Increased
RollofThis Year
Attendance at public school, larger than
a year ago, la crowding some of the school
buildings until It seems now that it will
be necessary to shorten hours and double
shifts or secure additional rooms. As
many as seventy-six pupils are being
taught In rooms lntrnded to accomodate
thirty-five.
Lothrop school has ten rooms with
slxty'or more pupils; Columbian and Clif
ton Hill each one; Farnam. two; Central
has two rooms Into which more than
seventy pupils are crowded; Lincoln,
Lake, Mason and Train are in the same
condition.
Parents are complaining, but the Board
of Education is as yet unable to remedy
the situation, because no funds exist with
which to build additions or new schools.
The committee which has considered the
advisability of submitting a large bond
Issue this fall has been unable to agree
upon any definite thing to do.
Superintendent Oraff has shifted pupils
from crowded schools to schools less
crowded, but; the congestion is still so
great that educational work la greatly
hampered, children are Inconvenienced
and their health menaced.
Mother Pleads that
Son Be Left Out of
School to Get a Job
"I'll go to work myself, rather than
tako charity," Mrs. Eba Marguls. 1(J1
South Twentieth street, told Judge W. O.
Sears in Juvenile, court. She was plead
ing that her 15-year-old boy, HarTy. be
granted permanent excuse from attend
ing school, so that he could take a regu
lar Job and support her. She was heart
broken at the Judge's order that the lad
should go to school, and with big tears
In her eyes and her voice shaken by aobs.
declared she would not accept the finan
cial aid offered by the Juvenile authori
ties. Judge Sears, remembering that the boy
had been in court a number of times, and
had been paroled from Kearney reform
school thought the youngster would be
better off in school than working without
the restraint of constituted authority.
Omaha Wheat Mart
Suffers Decline of
More Than a Cent
Omaha's grain market has suffered an
other decline of more than a full cent per
bushel all around. Receipts continued
fairly heavy on the local market, there
being eighty cars of wheat, twenty of
corn and sixty-eight of oats on sale.
The Omaha cash price for wheat was
11.0361.WH as against $1.0M4i81.1H4 In Chi
cago. The futures follewed the decline
In cash, in Chicago, December selling
at $t.l214'8'1.14,4 and May. Il.MSl.22.
WARD SUES COON AND
BACON FOR LARGE SUM
In federal court, Kenneth B. Ward, a
civil engineer of Columbus, O., has sued
C. B. Coon and Frank W, Baeon, doing
business as the Omaha and Western
Traction company, for $5,238, salary and
money advanced for hotel and other ex
penses. The Omaha and Western Traction com
pany, ' according to Ward, was organized
by Coon and Bacon for the purpose of
constructing a railroad from Omaha to
Sioux City and he was employed to secure
right-of-way. Most of this, he alleges, he
has secured, but has not been paid .for bis
services.
MANY HIGH FRESHMEN
TAKING LATIN THIS YEAR
Miss Bessie Snyder of the high school
Latin department reports that the largest
number of freshmen have enrolled than
ever before. Even at times when the
whole enrollment of the school was above
1,700, the number of pupils taking Latin
was smaller. This year the eleven be
ginners' classes were not enough and
three more had to be added, making a
total of over 330 students taking the
study in its advanced branches and 4
taking the rudiments.
