VAUDEVILLE IN THE
MUNICIPAL COURT
Negro Defendant Tells Judge
Education Board is "Arm
of the Oity."
SUIT AGAINST CONTRACTOR
According to the evidence of Wil
liam Lawson, negro janitor for the
Board of Education, appearing as de
fendant before Judge Murdock of the
municipal court, a contractor, is not
supposed to do any work, and the
Board of Education is "an arm of the
city." The other arm of the city is
the Water board.
Scott Irwin, 2121 North Tvrtnty
eighth avenue, negro janitor in the
service of the Water board, brought
suit against Lawson for $11.15 for
labor claimed to have been rtndered
in connection with cleaning the city
hall skvlitrht. for which Lawson con
tracted the job for $40 with the city
through Commissioner Wtthnell. Ir
win was given a judgment for $10
and costi.
Ia Hia Own Attorney.
Acting as his own attorney, Lawson
injected considerable ginger into the
proceedings.
"Arc you working for the city?"
isked Judge Murdock.
"I am working for the Board of Ed
ication and I suppose you would call
'.hat an arm of the city. Guess the
vVater board i- the other arm, re
plied Lawson. ,
I even bought that man some
meals," added the defendant.
"Judge, he never bought me a gin
gersnap," retorted Irwin with hauteur.
"How much work did you do on
that job? quizzed Irwm.
"I was the contractor and don't you
know that a contractor is not sup
posed to work?" responded Lawson.
"Gunpowder" and Pep.
When an item marked "gunpow
der" on Lawson's statement of ma
terials was brought into question, he
explained that gunpowder was not
used in cleaning the skylight, but this
item represented a purchase of liquid
refreshment intended to keep the
workers in proper mental state. Judge
Murdock was curious to learn ot me
cleaning properties of gunpowder.
Lawson impressed the tact tnat ne
was the contractor of the job; that
one William Davis was manager, and
Irwin was the hired man. who got
tired before the work was completed.
But Irwin convinced the court of the
justness of his claim.
Irwin vouchsafed the information
that he was the man who eot Lawson

DR. C. G. ABBOT GETS
RUMFORD MEDALS
American Academy of Arts and
Sciences Confers Honor on
Smithsonian Professor.
STUDIED SOLAR RADIATION
Washington, fr)cc. 9. Dr. Charles
G. Abbot, director of the Smithson
ian astrophysical observatory, has
been presented with the Rumford
medals by the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences for his researches
in solarVadiation.
To receive the Rumford medals is
a signal honor. They arc awarded
by the academy to American scien
tists whose discoveries or researches
have greatly advanced our knowledge
of light or heat. Since the establish
ment of thtse medals by Count Rum
ford in 1796 they have been awarded
to only twenty-eight men. Among
theme were Langley, Edison, Corliss,
Ericsson. Rowland, Hale, Thomson
and Acheson.
Dr. Abbot has been director of
the Smithsonian astronhysical ob
servatory at Washington since 1907,
when he succeeded its founder, nr.
Samuel Pierpont Langley, late secre
tary of the Smithsonian institution.
Dr. Abbot came to the observatory
in 1895, and has done much to ad
vance our knowledge of the sun,
especially on the 'subject of the
amount and variability of the solar
radiation, on which all animal and
plant life on the earth depends.
Value in Heat.
The results obtained by the staff
of the observatory in Washington, at
sea level; at Bassour. Algeria, three
quarters of a mile above sea level;
on Mount Wilson, California, at the
height nf over a mile: on Mount
Whitney, California, three miles high,
and finally by a self-registering ap-
naratns nf Dr. Abbot s design car
ried by Iree Balloons to over uuceii
miles elevation, show that the aver
age value of the "solar constant of
radiation" is 1.932 calories of heat per
square centimeter per minute. Thai
is to say, wnen tne earm is i mc
mean distance from the sun, an ob
server outside the atmosphere, on the
moon, for instance, could warm one
gram of water 1.932 degrees centi
grade each minute by the sun's rays
collected over an area of one square
centimeter. Expressed in another
way, the sun's rays would suffice to
melt a layer of ice 426 feet thick-each
year, at the earth's mean distance.
This would indicate that the total
heat emitted by the sun in a year
equals the heat which would be ob
tained by burning 400,000,000,000,000.
000 000,000 (400 sextillion) tons of an
thracite coal, although only about
four ten-billionths of i this enormous
heat reaches the earth, or the heat of
160.000,000,000,000 tons ot coal.
Sun is a Star.
A principal result of Dr. Abbot's in
vestigations is the discovery that the
sun is a variable star. In other words,
the heat derived from the sun is not
constant, but changes irregularly
frotn Hiv tn dav and from year to
year through a range of ahout 10 per
cent. This may wetl affect climates,
and an expedition to South America
is planned for next year to observe
more fully the solar variation in the
most favorable cloudless region.
For determining the intensity of
solar radiation Dr. Abbot has in
vented several forms of pyrheliomters
literally, heat-measurcs. About
thirty of his instruments are now
used as standards in all parts of the
world. His studies have embraced
ANNOUNCED.
HA7BI HEMPEh
investigations on the dependence of
the earth's temperature on solar
radiation, and the utilization of the
sun's heat for practical purposes such
as the solar heater or cooker, and
solar engines.
Sensitive Instrument.
Another unique instrument, greatly
improved at the observatory in recent
years, is the bolometer of Langley, a
very delicate electrical thermometer
for measuring slight changes in tem
perature and used in the solar work.
This instrument can now measure a
change in temperaturf of one hundred-millionth
(1-100,000,000) of a de
gree, and Dr. Abbot is making further
improvements so that, it will not only
register a change of a billionth of a
degree, but it will be ten-fold more
efficient in collecting heat as well. The
instrument is simple m torni, being
composed of two very fine platinum
threads so arranged in a vacuum,
that radiations allowed to fall on one
increase its resistance over that of
the other, the difference being re
corded by a very delicate galvano
meter. Measures Sky Heat
Dr. Abbot's new instrument known
as the pyranometer, used in taking
measurements of the light, or heat
of the sky, has proven very success
ful, and it is expected that a new
method of determining solar varia
tions by means of it will be effected.
If successful, this method will enable
many observers, who have been un
able to undertake expensive and com
plicated investigations with the spec-tro-bolometer,
to take a part in ob
serving the variability of the sun. The
pyranometer ma" also enable botan
ists to study the intensity of the
light in which plants grow, whether
in full sunshine or deep Jiade.
Last summer. Dr. Abbot and Mr.
Aldrich occupied the Smithsonian ob
serving station on Mount Wilson, Cali
fornia, from June to October, where
they continued the series of observa
tions on solar radiations in order to
follow the variations of the sun. The
weather was not as favorable as
usual, and early in October it was
very rainy, but despite the unfavor
able conditions, satisfactory results

until on August 5 it became almosl

evening, reminded them of the phe
nomena which followed the eruption
of Mount Katmai in 1912. A similat
state of the sky in Switzerland, dur
ing July and August, was reported by
Dr laurer. Dr. Abbot believes that
this widely diffused haze may have
been caused by volcanic ermmuua,
and a powerful eruption of the vol

Have Hair that Won't Blow Off
There is a feeling of comfort and self assurance in
the thought of one's hair won't come off.
Every woman, with reasonably good health, may have
that kind of hair provided she will give it care and
attention.
The scalp must be kept clean and free from dandruff. For
this purpose there is nothing superior to Newbro's Herpicide. Used
intelligently, the effect of Herpicide is quickly apparent in the in
creased life, luster and luxuriance of the hair.
Beautiful hair and Newbro's Herpicide are almost invariably
associated. Herpicide eradicates dandruff, checks falling hair, stops
itching of the scalp. The odor is delightful.

Much to Be Thankful.
By Eva Meyer, Aged 10 Years, West
Point, Neb. Route 3. Blue Side.
I am thankful that I have a good
home, plenty to eat and good clothes
to wear. I think all children that
have a good home ought to be thank
ful I am also thankful that our coun
try is not in war. Just think of the
poor children over in Europe. I'm
afraid they cannot be very thankful
when their fathers are killed in battle
and there is no one to provide for
them. I wish we could do something
to end this terrible war. We had for
Thanksgiving dinner a goose, cran
berries and apple and pumpkin pie.
We live in the country and mamma
raised some geese and ducks. In the

Life as a Rabbit
By William Tuma, Aged 9 Years, Box
74, Elba, Neb. Red Side.
' I will tell you a story about myself.
I am a rabbit I live in a hole in the
canyon. People like to hunt rabbits.
Once as I was out playing I saw a
hunter, but I sneaked into the hole as
fast as I could. Sometimes in sum
mer I used to go to Farmer Brown s
garden for some cabbage, and once he
saw me, so he shot at me, and I never
went there again.
How Violet Was Named.
By Margaret Brown, Aged 13 Years,
2816 Charles Street Omaha,
Neb. Blue Side.
It was in a large garden and the
trees and flowers were blooming all
around when Queen Rose glided into
the forest followed by all her servants.
This gaudy, yet stately, queen of flow
ers sat down in her throne of moss
and began to call her servants
around her. Now in this time the
flowers had no names and it took
a long time for Queen Rose to de
scribe the servant she wanted. When
they were all gathered around her
she told them she was going to name
her flowers according to their appear
ances and accomplishments. Then
she began: Come forward my dear
reef flower with the 'bag of seeds
around your neck which make me
sleep. Your name shall be Poppy,
which means "sleep."
"Now little flower who rings the
evening bells. Your name shall be
Bine Bell because your color is like
that of the sky."
Now she had them all named ex
cept a shy little purple flower which
had hid between the lily and, peony.
Oueen Rose spying her cried, "Oh,
dear I how will I ever get a name to
fit yon." While she was pondering
she heard the gentian remaric, now
modest she seems to be" "1 know,"
cried Qoeen Rose, "yoor name shall
be Violet"
To this dav vou will always hear
people remark how modest she is. I

Jane Wins Prize.
By Augusta Stephens, Aged 12 Years,
4311 South Twenty-sixth Street,
Omaha. Blue Side.
Jane was very happy until a felon
grew on her hand, which pained Jane
very much so that she could not
write.
Joyce, her sister, came in the room
one day.
"Mr. Rockway was going to give
away a beautiful doll alt dressed up
very pretty. I wanted to try my luck
to win it, so I wrote a story and had
it all ready to be recopied when the
felon came on ray finger," said Jane.
"I will tell you what I will do," said
Joyce. "I will recopy it athough the
prize is going to be given out tonight.
Where is it?"
"In my desk at school," said Jane.
Joyce ran off to school as the bell
was ringing, all the while thinking
about the story.
"Oh, that was only the first bell,"
said she,' "and I will have time to copy
it and after school take it to the office
on the way home."
Reaching in Jane's desk she found
a great pile of papers and thought
the top one must be it, so she took it.
bhe copied it all and then the lasn
bell rang.
After school she took it to the: office
and laid it on the manager's desk. He
was very busy and just looked at her.
She walked home happily.
As soon as she reached the house
she ran to Jane's side and said: "Oh,
Jane, dear, that story was fine."
Did you send the one about re
form government, the one I wanted
to have sent"
"Reform government," said Joyce.
"Why, no I I took the first on the
pile about how the apples grew and
how the stars grew in them and the
apple pies and the smell of apple
sauce and how the sun beat upon
them and the tired city men coming
to the farm and enjoying the orchard."
Just then Jane began to cry, and
said, "I worked so hard on reform
government"
Joyce ran back to the office to get
the other one and take the one Jane
did not like back. The manager was
not there and Joyce was discouraged.
That night Joyce's and Jane's father
came in and said, "Why, Jane, I never
thought you would write so well. The
manager told me he smelt the apple
sauce ana pies ana thought he was i
out in the orchard away from his
dusty office, and here is your doll."
Jane ran up and kissed Joyce and
said, "Oh, how I love you!"

"I say it's a shame," said Jack to
his sister two days before Thanks

fat and funny, I just can't bear to
see him killed for us to eat."
"Oh, I'll tell you Jack," put in Betty,
"we can take him in the wagon and
run away."
"You've struck ft. Betty," said Jack.
"And oh, Jack," said Betty next morn
ing, "mother always lets my bed air
out till noon, so she won't see the
note I pinned on my pillow."
So early next morning before their
parents were up (though Jack and
Betty thought them sound asleep),
they had their lunch all packed, in
cluding corn and grain for Mr. Tur

had been in the window and had seen
all toat happened. It was quite dark
when they returned, but the parents
were not worried. Next ciay was

A Happy Thanksgiving.
By Lucille McKitrick, Aged 10 Years,
1323 South Twenty-seventh

It was the week before Thanksgiv
ing when Jim Brown, a newsboy, was
standing in the cold snow, ragged and
cold. He was wishing he could get a
turkey for his mother and ten broth
ers and sisters. He took out his
purse and counted the money. He
had $4, but it was needed in the
family, so he could not use that.
Just then a man came to buy a
paper and gave him $1 for it, and also
a card which read. Mr. C. M. Smith,

Life of Marcus Whitman.
Volta Torrey, Aged 11 Years,
Avoca la. Blue lde.
Marcus Whitman was born in Con
necticut, but when only a small boy
the family moved, to New York,
where he spent the usual life of a
country boy, driving home the cows,
doing the chores and later on going
to work in the fields. His first ambi
tion was to be a clergyman and go
west, but knowing bow hard it was
for a clergyman to make a living on
the western frontier his friends dis
couraged him and he finally decided
to go to Canada, only to come back
again about four years later.
About this time an Indian chief
came down from Oregon to St. louis
asking for the "White Man's Book of
Life" (meaning the Bible). Young
Whitman was the first one who vol
unteered to go as a missionary and
was soon ordered to go and report.
Starting from St. Louis he continued
ud the river lo Council Bluffs, where
hi' bought a wagon, which proved to
hq the first wagon to go all the way
from Council Bluffs to Oregon but
by the time it got there it had only
two wheels left.
Since the ownership of Oregon
then depended largely on the num
ber of immigrants that country had
sent, Whitman learning that the
ownership of Oregon would probably
be settled in March, started out, ac
companied by General Amos Love
joy, lo Washington to try and get
Oregon for the United tSates.
He arrived in Washington clad in
the same buckskin uniform he had
worn when he left Oregon and at
once asked for permission to see the
president. After President Taylor had
heard Whitman's story he agreed to
hold Oregon until Whitman could
get more immigrants out there and
obtain possession of it for the United
States.
Whitman was killed in his office in
Oregon while prescribing medicine,
by an Indian who was hired to do so
by one of Whitman's enemies.
Jacky Remembers Others.
By Mae Gietien, Aged II Years, 2414
Spaulding Street. Omaha. Blue Side.
One day Jackv came rushing into
the house. He found his mother in
the parlor crocheting. He said: "I
have been thinking of a plan. Thanks
giving will be here in three days and
I was thinking of taking some of the
money I have saved and buying two
nice big fat chickens for poor old
Mr?. Smith and her three children. I
know they will be very happy."
"That is a very good plan indeed,"
said his mother. "You may do so If
you wish."
Jacky waited patiently for the day
to come when he should carry his
Thanksgiving treat to them. They
were very glad and thanked him
gratefully. He went home with a
happy hcarl. He was happy all day
long.

So Florence went home and as luck
would have it her stepmother was not

and sure enough there was the large
box with the hooks and the small box
in it. She opened it and found some

very happy. She soon found pencil

left her $25 for a present.
She then packed her few belongings

the while, double their strength and endnrmnce and entirely get
rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In
from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the
proper form. And this after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months, without obtaining any benefit. But don't
take the old forms of reduced iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that
can easily be absorbed and assimilated like nuxated Iron if you
want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete or prisefighter has won the day simply
because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and
filled hia blood with iron before he went into the affray, while
mny another haa gone down to inglorious defeat simply fir
the lack of iron. E. Sauer, M. D,
NOTK Nuxated' Iron, recommended above by Dr. Snuer, is not
a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known
to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely pre.'u-ribed
by enjinent phyalcians everywhere. Unlike tht older organic
iron products, it Is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the nt,omach; on the contrary, it ib
the most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion, a
well as for nervous, run-down condition. The manufacturers
nave auch great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to
forfeit 1100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take
any man or woman under 60 who lackn iron, and increase their
strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they
hnve no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund youv
money If it docs not at least double your strength and endurance
In ten days' time. U is dispensed in this city by SheraMe)
McConnell Drug Stores and all other druggist. sj
