When Mr. Louis II. Wetmore faoed an
Omaha audience Monday afternoon In the
lecture hall of the Sacred Heart convent
to apeak upon "Heresy and Orthodoxy In
literature." ha impressed hit hearera
that hla Idea of the greatest of all hareajr
would not be against religious dogma, but
tha principles of art. 1
Mr. Wetmore seemed far mora tha
artist than tha religion teacher. Thla
waa never mora marked than when ha
dwelt with loving reminiscence upon for
mer associations with Mfr. Robert Hugh
Benson. One particularly delightful Inci
dent waa of tha time Mgr. Benaon and
Helaire Belloo determined that Gilbert
K. Cheaterton muat be converted to the
Roman Cstholio church and Father
Vaughn waa bodily taken from hla home
and depoalted in a room with Cheaterton
to change tha men's faith. At tha end
of an hour Belloo and Mgr. Benaon re
turned and found Cheaterton and Father
Vaughn convulaed In hysterical laughter.
Tha time fixed for theological discussion
had been spent by tha men'a telling every
Illy story they could recall. '

Jn a way of dreamy charm Mr. Wet

when ha and a group of youn men
lived, a little company of esthetic monka,
with rulea and office and manual labor
and periods of alienee. But It waa tha
artist, not tha devotee, that spoke In tha

fear of going to bed.
The great eurplec of tha afternoon
came Just as Mr. Wetmora finished read

rey, and tha lecturer launched directly
Into a most , spirited speech against
prohibition. It was as little expected aa a
denunciation of the present tariff, and
left tha audlenoa gasping for a minute.

As a close friend- of Georga Bernard

In dandlea. olghlng: over the utter drearl
nesa of the world they lived In. he turned
tha literary men of itreat Britain Into
Idealists, preaching socialism. Hut Hhaw
erred, Wetmora aeserterf. In knowingly
writing for tha future. In saying thins;
that ha means for men In D years to
come. "Shaw Is haunted by the hoM
of the uture," the lecturer said; "he Is
afraid that aome one In the year 2110 will
say, 'Oh, Hhaw, yea, a,n antiquated writer
who waa -rery popular In the early
IWl.' "
Aa for It. O. Wells, Mr- Wetmore pre
dicted a great boom In America aa tha
writer declined In England. "It Is a
reographlral accident," he explained It,
"but literary America takes up what Eng
land repudiates."
A fine vein of comedy ran tnroughout
tha entire lecture, and many hearty
laugh, esperlallj- from the atudent por
tion of the audience; came when the
absent-mindedness of Gilbert K. Chester
ton waa told In many amusing Incidents.
"Tha fault of modern writers Is their
desire to prophesy." was one of the Wet
mora epigrams; ."It Is the easiest way
they know they cannot compete with tho
great men of the past, so they turn to.the
future."

MIDWIYES SHOULD
BE BETTER TRAINED
Dr. Stastnv Says They Should Be
Made to Conform to Some Stand

SHOULD HAVE TRAINING SCHOOL
, The training, supervision and con
trol of midwtrei was advocated by
Tr. Olga Stastny in her talk on "The
Problems of Midwifery," t the baby
health exhibit yestrtday afternoon.
"Mldwlves should be made to con
form to some standard Just as much
po as physicians or nurses. Nebraska
has absolutely no lew controlling
n.ldwires. although the records of
1906 show at least 25 per cent of
births were attended by mldwlves."
rr. Msstny scored phy?rans who Ig
nored esses of neglect nd Ignorance on
the part of mldwlves. Instead of report
ing theln. "This country U far behind
European countries In protecting mothers
and children from Ignorant, careless mld
wlves. Since the passage of the Midwife
act In England in 1902, the death rate of
Infants at birth has deeresed one-third
and the death-rate of mothers, one
fifth," suld the speaker.
Advocates Tralnlaar.
Tho state cannot, control mldwlves,
howevei-.untll it first establishes Dlacea
of tfalnlng for them, either In hospitals
or us entension work from medical
schools, according to Dr. Btastny.
M'ss Myrtle Kits Roberts, director f
he vocation bureau established by the
Asaociauon or Collegiate Alumnae, spoke
i Vocational Aptitudes of Children"
and Miss Bess Dumont, physical director
of the Central High school, gave some
aspects of the physical welfare of the
child.

POPCORJf NOT GOOD FOR BABIES
Mothers Are Advised Not to Feed
; Infanta Everythlne; . en Table..
Frankfurters and popcorn may be all
right for carnival and base ball fn hut

iwersen.
Dr. Iwerserf, in a lecture to mother, at
the Boyd theater, in connection with the
Baby Health Week" Dron-am. doi.r.ri
that he had known mothers to give babies
a aste of everything on the table, such
aa Ice cream, pickles, hot corn, tomatoes.
irnitiuriers, candy and popcorn.
"Don't teed him every time he cries,"
he cautioned.
"Don't feed him Indiscriminately."
In the artificial feeding of babies. Dr.
Iwersen pleaded with the mothers to get
good, clean milk. Some of the dirtiest
milk looks clean and rich in cream, but
still Is full of bacteria, he explained.
Judging from his remarks on the dress
of infants, tha apparel of the baby should
be plain and comfortable. Lace around
the neclt of baby dresses is liable to
cause an irritation of the ekln and de
velop a bad case of ecsema, he aald.
"Mothers are prone to ask their neigh
bors' advice, and this la injurious to the
baby," he asserted. "Tour neighbor may
have raised six or seven children in her
day. What time she had left from her
regular work was given to her babies.
That la the extent of her experience. She
undoubtedly knows more about cooking,
baking and keeping house than the doc
torbut not babies."
Dr. Iwersen waa introduced by Mr.

NO CONFIRMATION NECESSARY
Boys Are Seeking
Fathers for the
Y. M.C. A. Banquet
The latest out-of-the-ordlnary "stunf
of the Young ' Men's Christian associa
tion is finding fathers for boys who
haven't their own paters available. These
substitute dads will be sworn In for serv
ice March 28 on the occasion of the
sixth annual "Father and Son" banquet
The aim . of the gathering - will be to
emphasize particularly the chum relation
between fathers and sons. Although the
rule Is that no boy wilt be admitted un
less accompanied . by his father, nor
will a man gain entry unless he has
a son In tow, the association will en
deavor to find substitutes for the former.
Dr. George B. Condra of the Nebraska
Conservation and Welfare commission,
will be the principal ' speaker. "Ne
braska's Best Products" haa been chosen
as his subject.
Invitations are being Issued to a larga
group of fathers and sons, not only those
connected with the association, but also
to outsiders. Fathers having sons over
11 years old are invited regardless of
their connection with the Young Men s
Christian association.
COLONEL MACDANIELS DIES
AT FIFTY YEARS OF AGE
Henry W. E. MacDanlels, colonel on
the governor's staff, died early Monday
morning at his home, 27a Charlea street,
after a long illness. Colonel MacDanlels
was born In Dublin. Ireland, In Novem
ber. 1868, .and came to Omaha twenty
five years ago. '
He was employed for a number or yean
by the, Union Pacific and from 190) ti
1811 was chief accountant for the M
Keen Motor company.
He la survived by his wife and a daugh
ters, Mrs. Frank Creedon of Omaha.
Funeral services il be held from Tag-
gart'e undertaking parlora at 1:1) WeTnes-
day morning to 8U ohn s cnurcn at s
o'clock. Burial will be in Holy aepuicner
ctmeterjr.
J. W. Woodrough, who was ap
pointed yesterday by President Wil
son to be federal judge In the Omaha
division, succeeding the late Judge
William H. Munger, will probably
begin hla active duties Monday, April
3, when the new terra of tha court
opens.
-This will not be definitely known
until orders come frem Washington.
Federal Judge Martin J. Wade of
Davenport, la., had been ordered to
Omaha to preside at this opening
session of the April term of court.
In view of Mr. Woodrough's nomi
nation it is probable that he will be
gin his service thenj
It is not necessary for htm to be
confirmed by the senate before he is
qualified to act as United States
Judge. Judge W. D. McHugh, it Is
recalled, acted as federal Judge here
for several months following his
nomination by President Cleveland
in 1896, and the senate later failed
to confirm him.
Mr. Woodrough Is one of the youngest
men ever appointed a federal Judge In
Nebraska. He is 42 years, old. William
H. Munger was 52 when he was appointed
In J897. T. C. Munger was S when he
took his place on the bench in 1907. W.
, D. McHugh waa only 87 when he was
appointed in 189S.
Objects to' Spell tnar.
"A man came nto the clerk's office
Tuesday and grumbled because the new
Judge doesn't spell his name phonetically.
"He ought to spell It 'Woodrow,' like
President Wilson spells his," said this
man.
"But that Isn't the - way It's pro-,
nounced," said John Nicholson. "It's
pronounced 'Woodruff.' "
In "Who's Who" there Is not & single
person spelling his name "Woodrough."
But there are fourteen who spell it
'Woodruff."
. The salary of a federal Judge is SS.ROO
a year for life. He can retire when he
reaches the age of 70 years and his sal
ary continues Just the same. .

The Manicure Lady
She and Winifred 60 in for
the Fad of Skating
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
"I was up to the skating rink last
night," said the Manicure Lady.' "I wish
I could skate better, George. It Is tha
poetry of motion If it is did right; but
the way I skate Is more like : blank
verse."
"It's Just like every other erase," said
the Head Barber.. "About the time you
get it down fine something else will come
along and you will have to begin learn
ing that. Ufa is too short to be all the
time learning something new."
"But skating is . such grand exercise,
George. Wilfrid has went in for It, the
way he goes in for everything new. Ha
wrote a poem about skating. It goes
like this:
1 dearly love o'er the Ice to glide.
With a charming companion by my side.
Our keen skates bite Into the ice
And the sharp wind fans her cheeks so
nice.
I sometimes dream and hope and plan
That after my next life has loegan
With some sweet girl I may skate and
skate.
Part of the time, at any rate.
"If he keeps on writing poetry like
that." said tha Head Barber, "he will go
to a -place where there ain't no ice to
skate on. All the poe's go to Heaven,
and all the people that thing' they are
poets go to the other town."
"Well." said the the Manicure Lady,
"the ones that go to the other town that
they tell about won't have no trobule
finding a barber If they need a shave."
"I suppose not." said the Head Barber.
"They might even be able to get their
nails fixed up in a ptpch. But, speaking
about this skating erase, it sure must
have the town pretty tight in its grip
when it has the wife going. Bhe is try
ing to get me interested In It, but I done
all my skating when I was a boy. Maybe
when I get old and childish I'll give It
another whirl."
"Sur you will," said the Manicure
Lady. "It takes tha old gents for tha
pomps and vanities of this wicked world.
There Is more old gents comes in here to
have their nails did than young men,
though goodness knows the young men
needs it more, being less dudelike than
them old beaus.
"I had one customer yesterday that
must have been 80. He was a regular
old flirt, too. Most of them old Beau
Brummels is. They . give me a pain.
They better look out or I'll marry one
of them some day before he can catch
his breath."
'That's what you oughta do, ktddo.
marry a rich old guy, as long aa you
don't love no other young fellow and
can't marry me."-
"You and me would never wed,
George," said the Manicure Lady firmly.
"I wouldn't even be a sister to you. You
talk too much."
"You can talk yourself," said the Head
Barber, "but you have one of then kind
hearts, kid, and most of tha time yeu
don't hurt ray feelings none. I don't pay
enough attention to our chatter."
"Some day." said the Manicure Lady,
"when I am married and bav somebody
worth talking to, he will pay attention
to me. You bet he will pay attention.
There comes a customer for you, George.
Don't out him on the bean. It look
cute with, wt Kit tm.lt
