I 5 OMAHA TO HAVE DARK NIGHTS FROM NOW TO THE MIDDLE OF MARCH Omaha Retailers, Acting on the Suggestion of Fuel Ad - ministrator Kennedy, Decide to Make Every Night a Lightless Night; Barbers Shorten Hours; May Limit the Pool Halls. Every night is to be lightles night in Omaha, beginning Sunday, January 27, until March 15, by recommendation of the board of directors of the Associated Retailers of Omaha. They are acting upon the suggestion of Fuel Administrator John L. Kennedy. -Hitherto, Thursday nights and Sun-9 - day nights have been lightless. Hence forth until March 15, every night is to be lightless. Secretary J. W. Metcalfe of the As sociated Retailers explains that, ac cording to their interpretation this means that big outside electric signs are to be dark, and that the lights in the display windows and in the stores are to be kept out during the hours when the store is closed. The movement is to save fuel, and the fuel administration has made the request in order that he may not be compelled to use more drastic mea sures. Shorter Barber Hours. Master Barbers' asociation and barbers generally throughout the city have agreed upon shorter hours to save fuel and lights. They are co operating with the fuel administra tion and the movement carries with it the recommendation of Mr. Ken nedy. At a meeting of the Barbers' associated Friday the following hours were unanimously endorsed: Week days except Saturday, open 8 a. ro close 7 p. m. Saturdays, open 8 a. m., close 10 p. m.; Mr.', Kennedy urges all barbers in the city of Omaha to co-operate and do thejir bit to win the war. The public should cheerfully do their part, and conform cordially to the hours adopted, he says. The ''new hours take effect next Monday, J. ML Payne is president and J. W. Light secretary of the Barbers' as sociation. ; Comment On Pool Halls, Federal Fuel Administrator Ken nedy, has advised Mayor Dahlman of alleged failure by some pool and bil liard hall proprietors to co-operate in the fuel conservation movement.

British Labor Backs 5 ; Members in Cabinet ' Nottingham, Jan. 26.--Vhile con demning the votes cast in the House of Commons on some occasions by Ueorge N. Barnes and other members of the labor party, tjic labor confer ence Thursday by a large majority, shelved a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the labor members from the cabinet. Arthur Henderson, former member of the war cabinet, appealed to the conference not to adopt the resolu tion. He said it would break up the government and delay peace. The attacks on the-labor members of the cabinet came largely from the fringes of the party and were in many cases so fiery and anarchistic as to earn hisses from even such an ex tremely tolerant audience as this. The main body of the delegates stood firmly (behind Mr. Henderson in his plea. Baker to Answer Attack " Of Chambwiain Monday Washington, Tan. 26.

The Red Cross fund campaign of early last summer was among the first war activities to "put Omaha on the map" as a city that gives with sur passing liberality to worthy objects. Even before that in the- first Red Cross membership campaign Omaha had done so wonderfully that ex President Taft,' chairman of the na tional Red Cross committee, when urged to come to Omaha, replied: "Any city which can put on a Red Cross drive that yields nearly 30,000 members in one week doesn't need me to tell them how to do it. ' In the great national Red Cross fund campaign to raise $100,000,000, Omaha's apportionment was $J 10,00, as set by the National Council of De fense. Pledge Half Allotment. Three days before the drive began a mere handful of citizens held a meet ing and then and there pledged more than half of the allotment of Omaha. And when the drive was over Omaha had reached down in its generous pocket and subscribed the immense total of $257,000, nearly 20 per cent more than its allotment. Credit for this was due not only to the captains of industry, but to the wage earners and the salaried people who in many instances made a real sacrifice for the good cause. Chairman G. W. Wattles announced early in the campaign that no sum would be considered too small to be accepted. The slogan "Give one day's pay" was sounded and in a great many instances people actually did this. i Boy Scouts Help - 't The Boy Scouts threw, their energy into the campaign, reaching a class of people that couldn't be reached in any other way. They secured 4,248 pledges, amounting to $16,480, and de feated three business men's teams in friendly competition. The work of gathering in the money and pledges was so thoroughly sys tematized and the committees worked with such whole-hearted enthusiasm and energy that hardly an individual in the whole city was unsolicited. It was a remarkable exhibition of sys tematic work and careful executive management as well as a splendid ex ample of liberality. Here was a proposition entirety dif ferent from Liberty bonds. Subscrib ers to Liberty bonds merely make an investment, loaning their money on the best security and at a good rate of interest. But the Omanans and others who gave to . the great Red Cross fund gave without hope of re turn, gave gladly because their hearts were tn the cause and money seemed sordid in comparison with the good hat the money could do in comtort Hg and succoring our soldiers and :ailors. : .

TO LAST WHEN VESSEL SANK Old residents of Omaha who knew Lieutenant Stanton Kalk, grand father of General T. H. Stanton, and his family, will be prou.d to know that General Stanton's grandson and name sake exhibited the same qualities when the great call came that characterized his grandfather, who was known dur ing the dangerous days of quelling Indian uprisings after he had served in the civil war as the "Fighting Pay master." Official reports say that he saved the life of the commander of the Jacob Jones at the risk of his own life, and that he virtually forced mem bers of the crew into the launches, while he, himself, remained behind on a raft. There arc many conflicting stories told by survivors concerning Lieutenant Kalk's unalloyed bravery, but all are agreed that even in the face of death he was cool and calm and ordered members of the ship's crey to seek places of safety. One story is to the effect that he jumped from an overloaded raft and started to swim to another one quite a dis tance away and that he became ex hausted before he reached the raft. The late John Gurnet, once an or derly to General Stanton, then a ma jor, used to tell thrilling tales of the courage and resourcefulness of Major Stanton when Gurnet accompanied him on his dangerous missions of pay ing off troops in the Indian fighting days.' Gurnet epitomized General Stanton by saying: "He was as gentle as a lamb and as brave as a lion.'' When he retired as paymaster gen eral of the army, General Stanton re turned to make Omaha his home, where he had been stationed a num ber of times for long periods (in his career as an army officer), and where he and his family had many friends. Lieutenant Stanton Kalk's mother. Mrs. Flora Stanton Kalk, was mar ried in Omaha and returned here to live with her parents after the 'death of her husband, Lieutenant F. G.

According 'to her story her hus band, booked as II. Nelson, made love to her in Omaha and she consent ed to elope with him. Two months after marrying him she stated that5 Ire began to beat her and forced her to lead a life of shame. Tired of his al leged brutality she appealed to the police. It is stated by the police that the case may Le referred to the fed eral authorities to prosecute.

The thought I mean is this: 'What a noble type of manhood our American youth is proving itself to be when put to the test and what an in spiration to the rest of us and to gen erations to come.' ' According to Bagley's report, this young Stanton Kalk, only 23, showed courage, resourcefulness and self sacrifice in the highest degree when the test came.

He was an enthusiastic naturalist. He made a thumb sketch of the bird and de scribed it to his mother and asked playfully if she thought the stuffed one of the species that he had bought and would bring home would be too large for the living room. He made a water color sketch of the Jacob Jones (he stood second in his class at Annapolis in mechanical drawing), with the sun at its back to give his mother an idea of the beautiful light effects of the sea, sun and ship com bined. When the time came this young man as officer of the deck acted with promptness and initiative in doing everything possible to avoid the tor pedo from the submarine. Later, fearing for the safety of the men on his raft, he swam some dis tance to the other raft to equalize the weight. Some hours later he died on this raft to which he had swam and was buried at sea. : Emerson would have said that he was one of nature's noble men. ' COAL MINERS IN FAVOR OF OLD AGE PENSION SYSTEM Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 26. Before the expected final adjournment of the convention of the United Mine Work ers late today, the delegates plan to adopt a policy to meet the issues pre sented in two important suits that have been decided adversely to the union. A special committee of nine district presidents will formulate its policy. . In addition, the union must raise $800,000 as an appeal bond ;to secure the payment of a judgment of $600,000 won by the Coronado Coal company and others against the organization for alleged' violation of the Sherman anti-trust laws in Arkansas. The other case in which the union is involved- is that of the Hitchman Coal and Coke company of West Vir ginia. In this case the union officers were enjoined from soliciting the company's men. to join the United Mine Workers and the officers have been cited to appear before the su preme court of the United States and show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt for alleged vio lation of the injunction. A special committee of the union has made a report in favor of es tablishing an old age pension system instead of founding a home for old or disabled miners.

Chiropractic Talks CHIROPRACTIC FOR INFANTILE PARALYSIS Poliomyelitis, or Infantile Paraly sis, ira type of paralysis in general; it is an unnatural interference with normal physiological function. Its cause is not by any means so com plex as to be beyond understanding, as many people believe. It is true that a great many professional men are at sea and quite often truthfully state that the cause is unknown, and always will be, until they study cause instead of effects of a cause. Many claims have been made that Infantile Paralysis is caused by a germ so small that no glass has ever been made powerful enough to see it. There are at the present time thous ands of people suffering from fear due to the scare over Infantile Paraly sis and there are also thousands of persons afflicted with the diseise 1 whose suffering could be relieved and health restored by Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments, which removes the pres-, sure from the nerves responsible for the trouble. Technically speaking, In fantile Paralysis is an inflammation of the anterior horns of the spinal cord scientifically named Poliomye litis.

Would It not be a wise and common-sense proposition If you have any member of the family suffering from the disease to at least have their aplne examin ed by a competent Chiropractor before you make the statement that there Is no cure? We, as Chiropractors, believe that preven tive measures should be kept up: Chiro practors give the same Importance to disease as any other achool of the healing art. The resistance of the body depends upon the condition of the spinal column; the Chi ropractor makes it his business to build up the resistance. The body will combat dis ease so long at the resistance Is normal. Chlropraclo Spinal Adjustments are posi tively harmless.

Warning to the public to be careful in the use of hair dyes, rouge, hair re movers and similar cosmetics be cause many of them contain poisonous ingredients, was given today by the bureau of standards. "Rouge for cheeks or lips has been the cause of serious mercury poisoning," says the bureau's state-, ment, owing to the presence of vermillion (mercury sulphide). Hair removers are in general quite corrosive in character and some times poisonous.
