"I have two sons in the army and I wanted to go myself," declared the doctor, "so I convinced them that I still had sufficient spirit and 'pep.' I was 25 pounds underweight, but that was the only thing wrong. The Los Angeles army physicians were aston ished at my condition." Record in Omaha. Dr. Clark has a splendid record in Dr. A. W.

THREE TO ACT AS WOMAN'S SALUTE CONTEST JUDGES Mrs. H. H. Baldrige and Mrs. C. T. Kountze Will Select Third Judge; Announce Winners Sunday. Mrs. H. H. Baldrige, head of the shipping department of the Red Cross, and Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, head of the woman's service department, will select a third woman and act as judges in the "Woman's Salute Contest" which closes today at 6 p. m. Winners of the four prizes which aggregate $50 will be announced in Sunday morning's Bee. Mrs. Baldrige and Mrs. Kountze, although especially busy at all times with their Red Cross work, were will ing to undertake the task of going through the hundreds of contest let ters which have been received by The Bee, and were delighted at the pros pect of women having a salute with which they can show respect and reverence to Old Glory. Endorse Salute Idea. "I think it is a fine thing for The Bee to do this," declared Mrs. Bald rige. Mrs. C. D. Hutchinson. 4041 Seward : street, Omaha, interprets her salute i as meaning "To arms." It is done this I wav: "Raise both arms above your head with fingers extended, palms toward the flag." G. S. Kinsler, 38(56 Farnam street, Omaha: "Stand straight with left hand straight down at side, head low ered and right hand a little above the heart, with three middle fingers ex tended, standing for the red, white and blue; others under hand." Many contributors would have wo men salute the flage in the same man ner a private salutes an officer. It is the opinion of army men that this is distinctly an enlisted man's privilege. C. Austin, 718 North Nineteenth street, Omaha: "Place right hand on chest, and pay a mental tribute to our flag, reciting the following: All glory be to thee, the emblem of the free, wave above us evermore, freedom reigns from shore to shore." Miss Helen Linn, 2511 Ames ave nue: "Face the flag, place right hand over heart, then throw a kiss to the flap." M. Benson, 1605 Elm street: "Salute with bowed head in the attitude of reverence and prayer." Mrs. M. Osbon, 4425 South Twenty-third street: "Bring right hand to the temple with thumb touching fore head, then down to side, then up plac ing the hand over the heart and down to side, eyes on flag." Mrs. B. F. Nine. 121 Grant avenue, York, Neb., has been a "shut in" for four years, due to an accident, but she enthusiastically suggests a salute for women who can review the American flag. It is: "Place tip ends of fingers of right hand against the lips and let the hand fall backward toward the flag an(J say 'I love you Old Glory.' " Mrs. A. B. Hinterlong, 714 South Thirty-sixth street. Omaha: "Use the old fashioned courteous bow of colo nial days." Clifton Young. 2517 M street, Omaha: "Place the right hand on the chest and bow the head." The salute adopted by the Women's Relief corps of the Grand Army of the Republic is suggested by Mrs. Taleferro, secretary of the Grant corps of Omaha. It is as follows: "The right hand is uplifted, palm outward, to a line with and close to the forehead, then dropped slowly to side." Missouri Pacific Called On Carpet by Terminal Men Uncle Sam is about to go to the mat with the Missouri Pacific Rail road company. The Omaha terminals committee has asked the Missouri Pacific to ex plain the delay in completion of the double tracking of the Omaha Belt line road and the construction of via ducts at Dodge, Douglas and Farnam st'eets. The committee makes no threats, but the inference is that if the rail road does not speed up the work started a year aso, it will be taken out of their hands by the government. A survey of the Belt line and the connections has resulted in the con clusion that it is necessary for the expeditious handling of freight through the Omaha terminals. It is now a one-track line a greater part of the distance and its facilities for handling freight are seriously ham pered by the work on the double tracking and the building of the via ducts. This work, it is contended, has been permitted to drag to the in convenience of roads operating over the line. It is said the aim of the terminals committee is to route eastbound busi ness out of South Omaha over the Belt line and the Illinois Central bridge, thus relieving the congestion in the Omaha yards ami over the Union Pacific bridge.
