Pretty Miss to Sing With the High
School Boys
Little, Miss Riiu Snyder, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Snyder of Coun
cil Bluffs, is to sing the title roll
in the comic opera, "Pocahontas,"
which will he gicvn hy the Glee clubs
of Council Muffs High school at the
Nicholas theater, Friday evening.
Miss Snyder is a member of this
year's senior class. Her voice is a
clear, pretty soprano. She is dark
and petite and well suited to the part
of the romantic fndian girl.
For a number of years it has been
customary for the Glee clubs to per
sent some cantata or light opera in
the late winter or early spring. About
sixty-seven boys and girls, chiefly
from the three upper high school
classes, comprise the (ilee clubs. The
majority of these will form the chor
uses. Other leading parts will be
taken by Wheaton Clark, as the noble
Captain John Smith; by Harold
Hughes as John Rolfe, his friend, and
by Mildred Buz7a, as "Ahmeek." The
production is under the direction of
Miss Angie Middlcton, supervisor of
music in the public schools.
A special feature of this year's per
formance will be the appearance of
the high school orchestra, which has
been working as hard and as faith
fully as have the members of the
opera cast.

Jury in Stephenson
Case Fails to Agree
Aurora, Neb., Feb. 17. (Special
Telegram.) Shortly before noon to
day the jury in the damage case of
Samuel C. Stephenson against the
Union Pacific notified Judge Corcoran
that it could not agree and it was dis
missed. The jurors had been out for
about twenty hours. They announced
that the final ballot stood seven to
five. The trial lasted three days.
Stephenson sued for $2,500 damages
for injuries he received in a wreck
near North Loup. The case will be
tried again in April.
Steel Net is Placed at
Gate of New York Port
New York, Feb. 17. A steel net,
designed to protect the port of New
York from hostile submarine and
other war craft in the event of war
was put in place at the entrance of
the harbor today. For the present it
will be kept in position only between
sunset and sunrise and will bar all
ships from leaving or entering the
harbor during the night. In case of
war, its construction provides for
placing it as a permanent barrier.

A humorous incident of the 117
edition of the grand jury was the
bodv's investigation of a burlesque
gambling party staged at the Uni
versity club not long since. Accora
iiiir to rumors, the sixteen jurymen
believed in good faith that they were
on the trail of "something hot." A
member of the University club was
subpoenaed and quizzed, it is said,
as tn where the gambling parapher

It is understood that the grand jury
would like to know where, on short

activities there, although greater pre
cautions are now being taken than
ever before in peace times to guard
military secrets. Much information
concerning the balloon establishment
here is withheld.
"With Omaha's tine, mild weather
slipping by day after day lately while
we have been impatiently waiting
since last November for repair ma

become very disappointed and dis

"There is no possibility of our at

day, but we hope to be ready to do
something then or soon after."
Repairs Were Needed.
The Fort Omaha balloon plant, in
cluding huge shed, hydrogen plant
and outfit of large ruhheriaed cotton
gas bags, was installed by Captain
Chandler a number of years ago.
When the post was recently redesig
nated as a balloon training station, it
was found to need extensive repairs.
Many special parts and materials,
both metal and rubber, were ordered
for the necessary repair work last
fall, but have not yet arrived. Al

road freight congestion, have greatly
delayed the repair work.
One hundred men, newly enlisted in
the army, are now at Fort Omaha.
They have kept the experienced men
busy giving them general army train
ing, and will rapidly be instructed in
the work of handling ballooning
equipment on the ground.
Captain D. H. Bowen and Lieuten
ant L. C. Davidson of the army are
also at the fort to receive instruction
as observation balloon pilots. Cap
tain Chandler and Leo Stevens, a civ
ilian expert and maker of balloons,
are the instructors.
While stormy weather will not in

conditions must be right. Captain
Chandler says a flight would not be
attempted in such wind conditions as
prevailed Saturday.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
Hair Is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very care
ful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. A,n espe
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of canthrox- (which you
can get at any druggists) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates a soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and pliant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of natural
color, also a flufliness which makes it
seem much heavier than it is. After
a canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure. Advertisement.
