"The patient la dead," a nurse, re
ported at the county hospital Friday
night. She referred to Mrs. Gladys
Short, who, though only just past 18
yean of age, was said at the hospital
to have had the saddest experience of
any patient ever treated there.
Totally .paralyzed below the ahoulders
abla to movo but a few muaclea of her
body, but retaining- her mental faculties
and the memory of a baby who diod
when one Any old, Mrs. Short longed
for death in the county Institution,
where the end at length came. Two
weeks ago she became the possessor of
$2,000, her share of a sum received from
the Clarkson hospital in settlement of
her damage suit against It Her physical
condition was so low, however, that it
wss Impossible to remove her from the
county hospital.
On August 18, Mrs. Short suffered a
broken back as the result of leaping from
a window In the Clarkson hospital while
tn delirium, which followed the birth
and death of her baby.
During the succeeding months she lay.
in bed, practically motionless, 'retaining
no sensation In the parts of her body
stricken by paralysis and able to move
her arms only a few Inches. She had
been a pretty girl and popular among
her friends and see mod unable to under
stand the catastrophe which had befallen
her.
"I used to be like otber girls. Why
should this happen to me," she repeated
many times to nurses at the hospital.
Suit In her behalf for $UV,'0 was
brought against the' hospital and settle
ment waa effected for $3,000,
E. I Fotter has the honor of having
hauled in the first member for Ak-ar-Urn
since the organisation of the hustling
committee Frlifay noon at the Pazton
hotel. Twenty-eight men met for lunch
eon at the Paxton and oiganlied the new
1!1S hustling committee. It Is a live
bunch. It Is made up to a great extent
of the busy weasels that fcrrltcd out
some of the 2..V1O of gorgeously greon ten
dollar bills List year for Ak-Sar-Ben.
When the committee wss duly organised
and the teams chosen, there wss a
scramble from the table to get nut and
get members.
In some fiften minutes after the said
scrambling, E. L, Potter strutted into
the Ak-Sar-Ben office. 1717 Douglas
street, leading two $10 bills by the ears.
They were the perfectly good legal tender
of John T. MtQulllIn and F. 9. Hanna.
He was the first man on the Job with a
membership since the organisation of the
committee. Then he d'icked diagonally
arros the street and hauled In the $10 of
W. R. Burbank, manager of the Fon
tenelle hotel. liurbank did not hestltate.
Of course he wanted to be a member of

one walking over and getting ths money,

the million dollar hotel that is attracting
attention throughout the country, and he
Is ready with the big lever to begin the
boosting with Omaha's boosters.
Randall Brown, as chairman of the
membership committee. Is chairman of

Prove What It
- WiUDoforYou.
That the Crelghton Memorial St. Jo
seph's luiw'lai treated 'JW free patients
during the year 19H is shown by the an
nral report cf that institution, jUBt Issued
by the hospital. It also shows that nearly
i,O0C patleats were cared for dui-.ng the
yar.
The hosoi'al Is operated by the Sisters
of St- Francis, who thank all who have
contributed to the success of the Institu
tion b co-operaiing In, the care of the
sick and suffering.
To Increase the facilities of the surgical
department a building 45x130 feet and
two stories in height has ven erected at
a cost ef $30,000. This building, wh'ch is
really an annex to th main building,
occupies a space behind the body anl be
tween the wings of the honpttal. It con
nects with both the basement story and
first floor of the main bi'l.dlng. .On the
first floor are the surgeons' wash and
dressing rooms, Instruments, ster'llrlng
and four operating rooms, a laboratory,
an eye, ear, nose and throat room espe
cially equipped for operative work. On
the second floor are four operating roonu
sterilizing, Instrument and anaesthetic
rooms with lour dressing rooms. The
amphitheater is at the end of this build
ing and la entered through a wide cor
ridor. The walls are set with white
glased tile to a height of twelve feet, and
the floors are laid with vitreous tile. The
seats, arranged In tiers above the floor
snd entirely of tile, command a full view
of the "arena" where all clinics are held.
The seating capacity la 140.
X-Rmy Laboratory.
The X-Ray laboratory has been recently
re-equipped and fully modernised, being
now the most complete laboratory of its
kind In the central west Besides the
large SchelJel-Western Interwpterless
machine wired to use both 110 and 220
volts alternating current, there is the
high frequency attachment with elec
trodes and auto-condensation couch. For
diagnostic work a Kelly-Koett tube-stand
and automatic table are In use.
DurtniT the last year a two-story fire
proof laboratory building has been i-wted
Just at the rear of the clinical amphithea
ter and operating rooms. This bulldlnj
is of modern construction and admirably
adapted to laboratory purposes aa io

The poor of Omaha have long ago
learned that they WU1 not be turned away
hungry from St. Joseph's hospital. And
so, during the long winter, from eighty
five to 120 have dally been fed by the
liters when they presented themselves.
This has kept up from the very first cold
spell of early winter until now warmer
weather has cut the number to about
seventy a day. '
It was noted by some of the patients
In the hospital that during the coldest
weather some of these hungry people
came to the hospital In the street cars
ior their rations.

Collector of Customs Cadet Taylor de
clares thst federal "dope" laws are doing
Incalculable good and are solving a ter
rible problem aa no ether force on earth
could.
"It would seem now that we have
ample anti-dope laws, both federal and
state, to meet the situation." he eald.
"As collector of customs I have caused
warrants to be Issued In about twenty
one opium cases In this district during
the last year eighteen in Omaha and
three In Lincoln, Conviction Is so cer
tain that In every case reached pleas of
guilty were filed. The new lawa. how
ever, will reach the real parties who
have been selling dope. It has been
known for a long time that certain so
called drug stores were selling opium, but
unfortunately the law did not reach
them. They were commercialising a vice.
New Means of Enfoi-rriue.
"With the customs laws still tn forou,
and with the co-operation of the Internal
revenue of (leers charged with the en
foroement of the new federal law of
March 1, and the city authorities of the
law Just signed by Governor Morehead,
I have no doubt that a great change for
the better will soon appear. Had the
public recognised the real danger to so
ciety from this terrible habit ths new
lams would have been passed Ion? ag'
"During the last year or more this olflcs
has had the hearty co-operation' of the
Omaha police department. The new laws,
both state and national, have the enrdlal
approval, of every one who has been
brought In contact with the victims of
dope. There now will be a decrease In
crimes, housebreaking for plumbing fix
tures, etc., in Omaha and other Nebraska
cities."

Why Does Goodyear Tower So High
Among a Hundred Others?
Last year we sold 1,479,883 Cood
year pleasure car tires alone about
one tire for every cat in use.
Yet Goodyear has some hundred
rival. How came this tire to domi
nate like that?
Millions of Salesmen
Can there be any reason but this?
In the yean before, we sent into
service millions of Fortified Tires.
And those tires, by their records, sold
the tires of last year.
You know that. Perhaps you favor
another tire. But you know in your
heart that Goodyears, in some ways,
must excel the rest.
Five Costly Ways
. They do excel in at least five ways, -
costly and important.
Each is exclusive to
Goodyear Fortified
Tires.
These combat rim
cutting, blowouts,
loose treads. They
combat insecurity,

punctures and skidding. These tires
alone get our "On-AirM cure, which
costs us $450,000 yearly. They alone,
for safety's sake, have 126 braided
piano wires vulcanized into each tire
base.
They alone have our All-Weather
tread. Its toughness and thickness re
sist wear and puncture. And no other
tread has such sharp, resistless grips.
Reductions Total 45
Goodyear price reductions for two
years total 45 per cent. The last big
reduction was on February 1st. Three
times in two years, as our cost came
down, we cut the cost to you. Thus
our matchless production always in
. sures you most for your money in
Goodyears.
Each year these tires grow better.
We keep scores of ex
perts constantly work
ing, seeking new ways
to improve them.
Doesn't fairness to ; "

ing these tires? Any,.g
