Ihink that "for the safety of the pub
lic, police shoulu observe traffic rules

Kemmel Hill Top May
Prove Death Trap for
Teutons in High Drive
British Headquarters in France,
May 1. The Franco-British bat
teries are constantly shelling Mont
Kemmel. Unless the enemy can
push beyond this isolated strong
hold the rill top may become
virtually a death trap.
The advantage of Kemmel to the
enemy is a tactical one. He is now
committed to an attempt to push
on and capture the whole chain of
hills.
DARK MOON WON'T
HELP POTATOES
OR INJURE THEM
"Proverb Just Genera! and
Harmless Superstition," Says
Rigge; Plant Spuds in
Proper Season. .
. By WILLIAM F. RIGGE.
The Creighton observatory has
lately been called upon by several
parties who wished to plant potatoes
in ''the dark of the moon," and wanted
to know when that would be.
"The dark of the moon" is that time
when the moon is waning, that is,
after full moort until new moon, espe
cially the week after the' last quarter.
Whether that time of planting is bene
ficial to the growth of potatoes and
other young plants, and "the light of
the moon" is injurious to them, is a
'general and harmless popular super
stition. It has never been proved to be
either true or false. Systematic ob
servation would be necessary to estab
lish either statement: a few isolated
successes or failures- prove .nothing.
The best time to plant anything is
the proper season and favorable
weather.
Days Are Longer.
The days increase in length nearly
an hour during the month, being 13
hours 52 minutes long on the 1st. 14
hours 24 minutes on the 15th, and 14
hours 50 minutes on the 30th.
Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are still
evening stars. Jupiter is not so easy
to find in the twilight, it sets on the
15th at 10:21 p. m. Saturn on that day
sets at 1:49 a. in., and Mars at 3:28
a. m. Venus is the morning 6tar, ris
ing on the 15th at 2:24 a. m.
""he moon is in conjunction with
Venus on the 7th, with Jupiter on the
lltii, with Saturn On the 16th, and
with Mars on, thcl9th. The con
junction of the young moon with
Jupiter -oil the 11th will be pretty
close, but unfortunately botli set too
soon for us.

lEDDIE RICKENBACHER
DOWNS ENEMY AIRMAN
IN DUEL0
Well Known Lieutenant Shoots Up Hun Machine in Ter
rific Air Battle on Tout Sector in France; Iowa
Aviator Also Figures in Spectacular
Achievement
An Omaha boy. has shot
France. He is Lieutenant Edward V. Kickenbacher, famous as
! . - i 1 a J at
an automobile driver Derore ne emercu me war.
The news of Rickenbacher's achievement was received in
Omaha in a dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent
rith the American ahny in France.
Or. the night of April 29 Ricken
bacher, in company with Captain Nor
man Hall of Colfax, la., engaged in
a sky duel with an enemy plane over
the American lines on the Toul sec
tor. !
The Nebraska and Iowa bird men
first engaged the Hun -machine over
:be American lines. Lieutenant Rick
enbacher swent over the boche and
opened fire with his machine gun,
while Captain Hall darted bemno tne
German and also opened fire.
BOTH RETURN UNSCATHED.
The German made desperate at
tempts to escape and returned the
fire of the- Americans. Several bul
lets pierced Captain Hall's machine.
But Lieutenant Rickenbacher, flying
above his foe, had the advantage, and
he rained bullets into the hostile
plane. The German, flying toward
his own line with all possible haste,
began to tumble. A moment later it
fell behind the German lines. Lieu
tenant Rickenbacher and Laptam
Hall returned unscathed. It was the
third enemy machine bagged by
Americans on the loul sector in three
weeks, in addition to the possibility
of several others unofficially reported.
Lieutenant Rickenbacher was an
Omaha automobile man for several
years. He was a salesman for the
hirestone-Columbus company, wlncn
has since gom out of business. It
was during his connection with this
firm that "Rick,? as he is commonly
and affectionately known n Omaha,
began hs career as an automobile
driver. His first competitions were
staged on the treacherous little
mile dirt track located west of Elm
wood park, on Leavenworth street.
Great Racing Record.
"Rick" captured everything in sight
on tne little dirt tracic. une sun-
day afternoon he won nine out of 10
races staged and probably would have
won the other but for mechanical
foubles.
Gradually Rickenbacher began the
invasion of foreign fields. He en
tered races on the dirt tracks in Ne
braska and neighboring states. He
soon became the leading driver in this
part of the country.
Then in 1914 he attracted the at
tention of the Duesenberg racing
team and began his career on the big
time speedways. His first year out
he sprang into nation-wide promi
nence by winning one of the biggest
speedway events of the year,, the 300
mile cLssic at Sioux City "on July 4
of that year. He won many other big
speedway and road racing events and
from that day on his fame grew
rapidly.
Wins Big Derby.
On July 5, 1915, Rickenbacher won
the first 300-mile derby on the new
board speedway in Omaha. He also
took part in the 1916 race on the
Omaha track, but failed to -finish,
when his motor went back on him. He
won second place, however, in a 50
mile consolation event. That year,
Rickenbacher, driving a car which
was 10 miles an hour slower than
most of the machines engaged in rac
ing, ranked third among the racing
drivers of the country.
Less than a month after the declar
ation .aj made that a state of war
existed between the United States
and Germany, Rickenbacher enlisted
in the army. He was assigned to the
signal corps, given the rank of ser
geant and sent to France with the
first expeditionary force as General
Pershing's personal chauffeur.
Record Training Period.
But Rickenbacher, who had previ
ously dabbled a bit in aviation, wanted
to get into air work. His plea for a
transfer was. granted and he entered
a French flying school. In just five
weeks he became a commissioned avi
ator. He broke all records in learn

ache of any kind is often caused by kidney disorders, which
means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter
and uric acid accumulate within the body in great abundance, over
working the sick kidneys; hence the congestion of blood causes back
ache in the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes

PALMES SPEAKS
TO REALTORS ON
' COAL SITUATION
Arthur O. Palmer, executive secre
tary of the'Ncbraska Fuel administra
tion, addressed the Omaha Real Es
tate board At the Chamber of Com
merce Wednesday noon on the coal
situation.
"The situation which confronts us
is aptly illustrated in the parable of
the 10 virgins," declared Mr Palmer,
"If you do not buy your coal now and
provide for the hard times next win
ter you will be in the exact position
of the five cjreless virgins who failed
to carry a supply of oil when going to
meet the bridegroom. You will be
out of it.
"I want all of you men to pass the
word on to your customers and
tenants, and impress them with the
necessity of .aying in a supply of coal.
We are all in national service and it
is up to us to literally 'Keep the
Home Fires Burning" until the boys
come home. '
D. C Patterson reported a failure
to interest sufficient capital in the pit
for the storage of steam coal to make
practical thj undertaking of con
struction of the storage plant.
"If we cannot interest the coal men
in building this pit," said Mr Patter
son, "I think that we should take ft up
with the Chamber of Commerce and
get them behind the movement and
when the pit is constructed it will
automatically put the coal dealers out
of business; that is, provided the peo
ple will build the pit."
Reports from the various realtors
on the progress of the "Own Your
Home" campaign were heard In the
majority of case3 the realtors ex
pressed satisfaction with the results of
the campaign and told of increased
business.
The report of the committee on the
handling of property owned by enemy-aliens
was set over until next
Wednesday.

District Exemption Officials
Deny- Favoritism Has Been
Shown in Any Appeal
Cases Before Body.
F. A. Kennedy, Douglas Cones, A.
D. Cameron and John Robertson,
members of 'the district exemption
board, have issued a statement in re
gard to certain charges made against
Ed P. Smith, candidate for city com
missioner, and member of district
board for division No. 1.
"It was charged that Mr. Smith,
in the performance of his duties as a
member of the board, has practiced
favortism, and several specific in
stances are cited. It is due to the
public, as well as to Mr. Smith, to
say. that these charges are utterly
without foundation. ,
"No registrant has been placed in
any class without the affimative vote
of at least- three members of this
board, and the attack upon Mr. Smith
is in effect' an attack upon the en
tire board as such, the individual
membership thereof, as well as the se
lective service law under which we
are operating.
Say No One Favored.
"In all thin work, this board, and
each of its members, have worked
unitedly, and earnestly endeavored to
classify every registrant fairly and
impartially. We have passed upon
more than 25,000 questionnaires, and
not one has been favored or been
classified because of any influence of
any person or interest.

RESULTS ARE BIG
SURPRISETO HIM
SAYS OMAHA MAN
Began to Think He'd Never Get
Well Feels Fine Since Tak
ing Tanlac Gains 10
Pounds.
Here is another instance of the re
markable reconstructive powers of
Tanlac. Walker S. Meadville, a cabi
net maker, employed by the Imperial
Sash and Door Company, living at
7604 North Twenty-ninth street,
called at a Sherman & McConnell
drug store, recently, for his third bot
tle of the medicine and said:
"Tanlac has relieved me of two
years' suffering that had almost put
me out of commission. Sly liver and
kidneys were out of order, I had ter
rible pains in my back and side and
was so bad off I often had to stay in
bed for two weeks at a time, where I
just rolled and tossed in agony. I
couldn't get any rest scarcely, had
no energy or ambition and felt tired
and worn-out all the time. I had lost
20 pounds in weight and was in such
a bad fix I thought I would never get
well.
"But, I'm feeling entirely different
now and the results I have gotten
from Tanlac have certainly been a
glad surprise to me. It has put me in
shape to where 1 have already gained
back 10 pounds of my lost weight and
it won't take me long at this rate to
eet back the other 10. The pain has
all left my back and side, my kidneys
and liver seem to be in good shape
and my sleep is sound and restful. In
fact, I'm feeling just fine and am
glad for everybody to know what
Tanlac has done for me."
Most of the so-called stomach,
liver and kidney troubles, are due
almost entirely to catarrhal inflam
mation of these organs. The constant
coughing up of mucus, dull throb
bing headaches, frequent sneezing,
watery eyes, pains in the pit of the
stomach, sides and kidney region, lost
appetite, no ambition, depression of
spirits and the persistent contracting
of coughs and colds, are characteris
tic symptoms of this trouble from
which so many people suffer.
Tanlac benefited Mr. Meadville be
cause it contains certain medicinal
properties which combat these very
troubles. Thousands are now using
the medicine in all parts of the
United States and Canada with the
same remarkable results. Scores of
testimonials ate received daily from
men and women of unquestioned hon
esty and integrity who feel gratified
as a result of having found such a
great source of relief.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher
man & McConnell Drug Company,
