THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 13, un, MRS. CANGESTAD I HELD UNDER BOND Wife of Real Estate Broker Bound Over for Trial on Charge of Stabbing Her Husband With Shears, Mrs. N'ina Mae Gangestad, militant wife of Edward G. Gangestad, real es tate broker, smiled all the time she Wis in court yesterday to answer to the charge of stabbing her husband with intent to wound. Not once did she glance at Mr. Gangestad, who leaned on a stout cane and gazed grimly at his wife's back, the only view she allowed him. Not a word did Mrs. Gangestad otter. Through counsel she entered i plea of not guilty, waived prelim inary examination and was bound iver to the district court under bonds )f $750. The posting of the bond was merely I matter of minutes. The fair de fendant had already offered a bond of $2,000 as surety for her appearance in court. Woman Modishly Gowned. Mrs. Gangestad wore a black and white checked suit of stylish cut, a large picture hat with two birds of paradise feathers and a scarf of white fox fur. From her ear lobes hung two pearls. The domestic affairs of the Gange stads bulk large in police history. A divorce, a remarriage, a suit for di vorce, a reconciliation and an assault and battery, case preceded Mrs. Gangestad's alleged stabbing of her husband with a pair of shears. Later Mrs. Gangestad and Walter Jewell, a bell boy in a local hotel, were ar rested on a statutory charge. Mr. Gangestad swore out the war rants in the last case, which is await ing trial in district court. Detroit Couple Wedded ' Here to Escape Mann Act Sam Lenenberg, 30 years- old, charged by federal authorities with having violated the Mann act in bring ing May Schor, 22 years old, to Omaha from Detroit, Mich., and the young woman were married by Judge Crawford in county court Saturday morning to escape prosecution. United States Marshal Klynn, a deputy jailer, and County Jail Matron Johns were witnesses. The bridegroom was released from jail in order to be married at the re quest of the Department of Justice. After the ceremony Lenenberg was taken to the federal building and then released on $1,000 bond. The "tip" resulting in the man's ar rest was given to the federal offi cials by a former sweetheart of the girl, who came to Oinaha from De troit and asked her to return home with him. No Wife Beaters in Omaha Since Nebraska Went Dry There are fewer cases of drunken ness and wife-beating in Omaha now than ever before in the history of the city. Since May 1 only ten. men have been arrested on the charge of drunken ness. In the first twelve davs of Mav. 1916, the number of "drunks" in po lice court was eighty-seven. Since Mav 1. 1917. not a single case of wife-beating has been tried in po lice court. - -"I have had only one complaint from a wife about the abuse her hus. band was giving her," said Judge Madden, "and that trouble was ad justed without bringing either party into court. - " What the Women Can Do in War By LEONARD WOOD, Major General United Statu Army. War brings with it a call to na tional service for women as well as men. There are two very important ways in which women can help the nation in war: First By working in industry, thereby releasing men for the front, and Second By joining the American Red Cross. Every man and woman owes it as a duty to the country to become a mem ber of the American Red Cross. Mem bershipit is as low as $1 should be universal. Instead of having a mem bership of 500,000, as at present, the American Red Cross should far ex ceed the 1,800.000 membership in Ja pan, the 1,400,000 in Russian and the million each in France and England. Membership alone does not neces sarily imply service. It means merely that one helps to support the admin istrative organization directing the work of the Red Cross. After membership there is opportu nity .for service with the Red Cross. Every chapter has its work rooms and its auxiliaries. It has trained instruc tors in the preparation of hospital and surgical supplies needed here and abroad. Many chapters have classes in first aid to the wounded, home care of the sick, home dietetics and in the making of surgical dressings. All of these are at the service of women who wish to aid their country. But what the Red Cross does need today is trained women for the work of military relief. The immediate call is for competent nurses. A soldier's life is too precious to risk in un skilled hands. Nurses must largely be drawn from the hopitals of the cities. Women must be found to take the places of many nurses in civilian hos pitals. To prepare for this emer gency the Red Cross has been con ducting great training classes for women. From them will largely be drawn also the nurses' aids attached to the base hospitals organized throughout the country. Twenty-eight of these hospitals, with 500 beds each and a complement of fifteen nurses' aids, are now ready for active service. Even CAR FARE MAY BE B00STED0NE CENT Street Railway Company Con siders Six-Cent Rate to Offset Increased Cost of Upkeep. A 6-ccnt street car fare Is among the possibilities which may strike Omaha amidships during these days of II. C. oi L. "The continually advancing cost of materials is a problem with all trac tion companies of the' country," said General Manager Leussler of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company. "We do not wish to change from the standard 5-cent fare if we can possibly help it. It is a question whether the public would rather have a lower standard of service or a high er rate of fare. We don't think our patrons would stand for a depreciated service," continued this official. The Wall Street Journal of this week carries an article on the subject State railway commissions of eastern states have authorized a 6-ccnt rate and even as high as 7 cents in some instances upon showings made by the companies. Mr. Leussler declares his company has been giving the matter considera tion, but nas arrived at no decision. Officials of the Omaha company say they will wait a while longer, hoping that the situation may offer a silver lining, but he intimates that if no re lief conies soon serious thought must be given to the 6-cent rate proposi tion. Coal Miners of Wyoming Given Increase in Pay Cheyenne, Wyo., May 12. Four thousand coal miners in the Wyoming district were granted an increase of from 7 to 8 cents a ton, effective im mediately on all coal mined, under an agreement signed today with south ern Wyoming coal operators. Persistent Advertising Is the Road To Success. the djctors and nurses attached to these units have been innoculated against typhoid and other dangers of field service. The functions of the Red Cross, however, go far beyond service in military hospitals. In addition to the department Of military relief is the department of Civilian relief, equally large and equally important. Dependents of fighting men cannot be neglected. Red Cross committees, assisted by expert investigators, take care of children who need aid. The needs of convalescing soldiers from the front, will be looked after. If the' time comes when women must go into industry, the burden of caring for children must be shifted from many mothers. Homes or nur series must be found for infants. It is the Red Cross that is called upon to meet these emergencies also. Between the Red Cross and other relief organizations there should be co-operation. The independent or ganizations should constitute a sort of "relief militia," or service force. Americanization Night . At the Commercial Club Sixty aliens will complete their cit izenship at the - Commercial club rooms Monday night This will oc cur on the occasion of the second Americanization night held at thj club rooms recently. The program will begin at 8 o'clock. All the district judges will be pres ent, and the privileges and responsi bilities of citizenship will be ex plained by prominent speakers. Invitations are being lent out to several hundred foreign-born persons in Omaha who attended night schools preparatory to taking out citizenship papers. It is hoped that many of them may be brought in. to wjtness the ceremony. I : Sues on Policy of Man Supposed to Be Dead Court of Honor, a fraternal order, answering the suit of Mrs. Alice E. R. Mitchell, suing in district court on a $1,000 policy held by her husband, Charles D. Mitchell, who disappeared October 30, 1916, denies he is dead. The widow is confident that her husband is the man who jumped from the Douglas street -bridge into the Missouri river last fall. Clothing identified as that worn by Mitchell at the time of his disappearance was found later. The bridge toll man saw a man climb over the railing and jump into the river, but his identity was never positively established. Women to Knit Sweaters And Socks for the Soldiers Inquiries are being made at the National League of Woman Service headquarters for evening classes in knitting sweaters and socks for the soldiers. "It is very possible that such classes will be formed for the business women as soon as the knitting ma chines arrive," said Mrs. A. C Smith, local chairman. As classes will be held in the league rooms during the day, the women in charge are anxious for all interested ,to visit the headquarters and register. Yarn may be bought at wholesale prices at the league rooms. Normal Temperature Probable Next Week Washington, May 12.

Why Is This Question So Often Tabooed? ONE of the most difficult tasks for any car salesman to explain satisfactorily is why most fine cars must weigh between 3000 and 4000 pounds, when the Franklin Touring Car, for instance, weighs just 2280 pounds. Big Weight Is Car Owner's Loss We admit our inability to advance any real reason.' We know too well what Scientific Light Weight means in the Franklin Car. Franklin weights are not attained to meet today's de mand for light cars, but are the results of fifteen years of consistent scientific-light-weight car building. The difference between the Scientific-Light-Weight Franklin and cars burdened with unnecessary deadweight is daily illustrated on the used-car market Used Franklins for sale are scarce, but if you find one, price it and see for yourself how high its value is in pro portion to other used-car values. Figure what is back of Franklin records of 10,000 miles to the set of tires and 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline. Then investigate the claims of Franklin owners for unusual road ability, safety and comfort. Look around and see if any heavy car is equalling the general satisfaction that Franklin owners talk of. We say find out all you can about the car you're going to own and maintain. That's business-like way to judge whether Scientific Light Weight or superfluous weight ap peals to you and your purse. Franklin Motor Car Company 2205 Farnam Street Phone Douglas 1712 R-U-2-B-1-OF-60 which in time of war should merge with the Red Cross just as the Na tional Guard merges with the regular army. The Red Cross is the big brother of the medical services. The army and navy cannot get along without it. Without it i warring nation is almost helpless for the reason that a nation in time of war is unable to provide an adequate medical organization without civilian aid. In no war have there ever been enough nurses and surgeons. As no chain is stronger than its weakest link, so no army is stronger than its Red Cross. So clearly ii this under stood that in time of war the govern ment requires the Red Cross to give all its energies and facilities to the nation, caring for the fighting men and their dependents at home. The Red CroSs is the only organiza tion authorized by the government to render war relief service. It acts under a charter from the government. Congress passed the act incorporating it. This a.-t made the president its official head and placed representa tives of the army and navy on its di recting staff. In other words, the Red Cross is officially as much a part. of the gov ernment machinery as the army it self. ' Despite this official standing, how ever, the Red Cross must depend upon voluntary service of women and men. It is the great volunteer army that is serving hu-nanity as well as the na tion. And it is an army made up largely of women. You sit in it not on it. That's why the OTY delivers comfort like the biggest car made. The Liberty leads in thought of the owner. Get into one today, W.
