Omaha Boy in France Writes
Of Yankee Rail Efficiency
John Welsh, federal inspector ot
locomotives for this district, has re
ceived a letter from his son, Cor
poral Edmund Welsh, Company C,
Thirteenth regiment of engineers
(railway), American expeditionary
force. Edmund volunteered soon
after war was declared and went with
the first force of 10 regiments of
railway men to France. These are
the men who have put new life into
the French railways, especially those
near the front.
"We have been operating near a
large city which has been shelled, re
peatedly and which lias been a head
liner in the war dispatches since
soon after the war started," says Cor
poral Welsh.
His father believes he refers to
Verdun. It i? evident also that lie
is in a mountainous region, judging
from what he says of the way the
trains arc operated.
"We have no airbrakes on these
1 rains." he writes. "The method of
operating on heavy grades is to run
until about two-thirds of it is over
the highest crest of the grade. Then
it is stopped and the brakes are set
and we. go down grade under
steam. This is the only safe way of
operating on these grades without
airbrakes."
It is evident also that the place
where young Welsh is serving is near
the trout, as he says there is a train
about every ,W minutes. There is no
time card. The line is double tracked
and a continuous stream of traffic is
kept going in both directions. Train
dispatching, he says, is done by
telephone. 11c declares the Ameri
can engineers arc putting real "Yan
kee" efficiency into the important
railway lines near the front in France.
Corporal Welsh's home is at 3361
Howard street. i

Omaha Roads Will
Drop All Parlor Cars
The individual who is going to
, travel out ot Omaha and who desires
; to ride in a parlor car had better do
! his tiding prior to January o. After
I that parlor cars are to be eliminated
! so far as the Omaha roads are con
cerned.
While the elimination of parlor
cars is a war measure, the order to
cease running them does not come
from the railroad war board. Passen
ger agents of the roads got together
and agreed to the proposition.
The saving in fuel by reason of
cutting out of the parlor car service
ts considerable. Railroad operating
men have figured it out that the haul
ing ot a parlor car 100 miles means
the consumption of one ton of coal,
thus to carry a car from Omaha to
Chicago would mean the burning of
live tons of coal, estimated as being
$5 a ton, o. a total of $25.
Out of Omaha there are something
like 100 parlor cars operated daily.

Job Seekers Storm
Employment Bureau
Hundreds of shivering job-seek
ers braved the zero weather Friday
and swarmed through the doors of
the Free Employment bureau in
the basement of the court house
in search of one of the "$5. $6.
$7-a-day positions," "hundreds" of
which were told of by two Omaha
newspapers as only awaiting ap-pl-'cants.
In the free news publicity given
the Free Employment bureau by
two newspapers, $75 a month jobs
were "going begging" and the un
employed of Omaha, mostly men
more than 50 years old, rushed to
fill the gaps in the business world.
They were informed that there
were no such jobs "going begging"
in the men's department. The in
formation was given to the news
papers by an emnloye of the de
partment, vho mistook the 20 odd
positions open for women ac
countants, stenographers, etc., as
an Indication of general scarcity of
help. The women's positions were
filled shortly pfter opening hours
friday morning.

Removal
Sale
Bargain
The word "Bargain" is most elusive these days because
so often abused. The "bargains" offered in the "Double
Clearance" are bargains worthy of the name. Time, thought
and care was exercised before re-marking the women's suits,
coats, dresses, waists, furs, etc., offered. ALL are "bargains."
Foresight
The values in women's attire that are placed in your
pathway now, by reason of the "Double Clearance," will not
be available when once this sale shall have been declared
ended. Better exercise "foresight," which is no more than
a common sense faculty of seeing things far ahead.
Desirability
Of what avail would women's garments be even at bar
gain prices, if they were not "desirable"? The suits, coats,
dresses, waists, and furs in the "Double Clearance" are cer
tainly desirable. They are stylish beyond question; made up
faultlessly.

practic talk on Page 2-B.
Chiropractic
Hea?th Talks
Xorvous di'bility or exhaustion,
:ilso popularly known as nervous
prostration or nervous weakness,
is becoming alarmingly prevalent.
The wear, tear and strain of
modern life is concentrated upon
the nervous system. The care and
consequent, fret, worry and labor
of this ifco ate greater than ever
before known.
People who think themselves
doomed to an existence under the
burden of a so-called "incurable"
malady should investigate my
methods.
Chiropractic never fails to give
relief, and if properly pursued, in
variably results in a permanent
cure. '
Eighty per cent of the opera
tions could be avoided by taking
Chiropractic Adjustments, whether
it be tonsilitis, appendicitis, or in
the very class known as "women
diseases."
Many chronic cures for refer
ence. Consultation is absolutely free;
no obligation.
My cash fee is $1.00 for a single

$10.00. Outside calls made by ap
