A good many ears ,aRo the writer hereof met Homer C. Stuntz in Cali fornia. Three weeks ago he met him again, but the bishop as he is now, did not look the same as In the former cay. , Three weeks of puzzling over the problem his brought out the fact that it is not any added dignity which his responsible posi! n as over-pastor of more than a quarter of a million Methodists, in Omaha a'ea has given him which has made the change, but because sometime in the past he has discarded the 'neat and natty Van Dyke beard which used to adorn his chin. The previous existence of this beard s probably a deep, dark, dank secret which the good bishop would desire unpublished, but when one starts to sketch the career of a man who has attained some degree of em inence it is necessary to probe deeply into just such tender memories. There is no getting away from it. He used to have that beard, and it gave him a fierce, Castilian look, quite in contrast to the genial, smiling ex pression which is -so welTTtnown to everyone in Omaha. A Dreamer Back of the Beard. 'This story starts, however, a long time before the beard arrived. It dates back to nearly a half rentury ago when a small boy, he used to cjimb the tallest trees on the highest hill on his father's homestead in the corner of Pennsylvania which touches the lake, and used to gaze cut over the water, and dream of other lakes in far away lands which he hoped some day to. see, and of strange peoples whose lives he would some day touclvhelp Ifully, -How that dream canie true is part of this sketch. The lad, whose father was a sur veyor and farmer, passed through the tirade schools, and the local acad emy at his home town of Albion, and then attended the date normal, ne did not expect to make teaching his life work, but he thought it might be a stepping stone to the attainment of what at that time came to be the ambition of his young manhood, to be a lawyer. , Educated in Lawr and Theology. Young Stuntz spenthis spare time in the study of law. In 1879 he moved to Iowa, teaching and studying law. He was never admitted to practice, but a kindly judge allowed him to "Whoop-Dee-Doo" v Gives Theater Goers Joyful Time at Gayety 1 Novelty of beautiful settings feat ure Rose Sydell's famous ' London Belles in VWhoop-DeeiDoo," at the Gayety theater this week.

The tire exploded. try his 'ikill in a few police cot cases. 1 Befote he had developed qaite the legal acumen of a Marshall there came to the young man an irresistible im pulse that he ought to become a preacher, and he went awa to Chi cago, graduating in the class of 1884 from the theological school. Returning to Iowa, he built the foundation for his career as a min ister of the gospel by serving one of those old country circuits, which !-ave tried the faith of so t many .jdern prophets. He had the foresight about this time to marry tne woman who has had a very large part in his life since, who was Miss Estelle 'ark of Dubuque. la. - In 1887 the young minister and his wife went to India as missionaries Their work was among the Eurasians, to whom William Taylor hat! come a few years before, as a flaming evan gel, winning tens of thousands to the Christian faith. These Eurasians were of mixed blood, largely white. Two or three hundred thousand of them were in India, and were neither Christian nor Buddhist. They had no moral stand ards and were among the lowest f humankind. There were four years of mini?try to these people, combined with the editorship of the Bombay Guardian, and later the Indian Witness. During this period a daughter was bi . now' Mrs. Harry P. Hunter, of Omaha. Faraway Lake Dream Comes Tru.. Eye failure led to the transfer of Mr. Stuntz to Naini Tal, in the l.ill country, for teaching and pasforal work in one of the summer capitals of India. f It was here that the dream of a far away lake came true. Tal is the word for lake in the Hindu language, and the parsonage of the. young mission ary was located on the side of a mountain a hundred feet above a' gem of purest ray serene that nestW in the bowl of the hills, its crystal depths fed from the eternal snows just, above. The bishop told of catching lake trout 27 inches long. Yom know a bishop can get by with a story of trout that1 size. He explained, how ever, that lake rout grow bigger than bro,ok trout. Just how big the fish- were which got away he did not state. i , . It was of these summer capitals in the hills, in which all the splendor of India, and an English society sec ond only to that ofLondon, scintil lates during the three months when the plains are simmering under tenv peratures of 110 to 125, .that Kipling wrote his Plain Tales of the Hills. They were real stories of real people, and Bishop Sfuntz states that Kipling did more .with these stories to reno vate moral conditions in the summer capitals than a dozen missionaries could have done. ' Bishop Knew Haig in India. At Naini Tal, when young Stuntz was there, there was a dashing young captain, a hard working military man, Captain Haig. This captain has lately become known as Sir Douglas Haig, field marshal of the armies of Britain in France. For four years Mr. Stuntz was pastor of a big church, teacher in a school, chaplain of the British troops, and for one of the years superintend ent of a district 350 miles long. In four years, he suffered a breakdown, strange to say, and was sent back, over his protest, to America. There was a year for recuperation, two pastorates in Iowa, and then five years in the, Philippines,, organizing mission work there. Forced back again to America by sickness, after Two Men Arrested for Alleged Thefts of Autos Id Omaha Edward Falconer. 2430 Seward street, and H. E. Martindale, 2106 Lake street, were arrested Saturday by Detectives Pszynowski, Murphy, Rich, and Danhaum, and are being reld for investigation in connection with recent auto thefts. The detectives allege that the two went t the South Omaha horse barn recently and attempted to steal a new machine, but the engine, stalled and aroused suspicion of employes aiid they were forced to leave the car. They are alleged to work together and Martindale remains in 'heir car as, a lookout.' and to assist in making a rapid escape in case they are appre hended in their work. Falconer was given a 30-day sus pended sentence in police court re cently when arraigned for vagrancy. The auto squad allege they have been implicated in numerous other auto thefts during the last three months.

War profit eers of 1917 were most numerous in business devoted to food production and distribution, cotton and woolen maunfacturing and dealing, coal min ing copper, .aluminum and other metal production and oil production and distribution, according to a treasury analysis of income tax re turns. In addition, thousands of small concerns in a great variety of classi fications made profits ranging from 100 to 3,000 per cent above their nor mal pre-war profits', which even then were considered high. In Citing certain industry as con taining the largest percentage of pro fiteers, the treasury has made it clear that not all individual businesses in these groups have gathered in swollen earnings. vThis is true particularly of coal operators, some of whom made enormous profitSv while others'1 made barely enough to pay justified divi dends. With few exceptions, manufacturers 1 i V TA i - I I Y I f 4 rfn J X Vv N 3 HOMER which'Mr. Stuntz was made field sec retary of the Methodist Missionary society, and a year later correspond ing secretary. How He Came to Omaha. In '1912 Dr. Stuntz was elected bishop. He choose ' South America as his field, remaining until 1916, when at the request of the ministers of the Omahfl area he was assigned here. This, Bishop Stuntz considers the highest compliment he ever re ceived, that the men'who knew him best should have desired him as their presiding bishop. "Perhaps they are not so enthusiastic now," remarked the bishop, widi a twinkle in his eye, "since I have had to assign them to. their pastorates. Bishop Stuntz has two enthusiasms, South America and the Mississippi Valley. South America to him is marvelous, in resources and in possi bilities. He believes it will show the most remarkable growth within the next century that the world has ever seen. And 'I needs, he believes, all the aid of every sort" that the.- United States can give. His Faith-in the Middle West. The middle west, in which Bishop Stuntz has spent so large a part of his life, he considers the very heart of America. "There is n6 other equal amount of . land in which civilization has so nearly approximated the ideal of the Kingdom of God,", he said. "These broad spaces seem toThave de veloped a people who have a firmer. grip on the realiWes of life than any other people. In spite of the faults which are found here the middle west contains all the fine qualities of a newl Puritanism upon which the future of the land will be built." Bishop and Mrs. Stuntz will start Monday on a pilgrimage to China and India, which" will last for seven months. The bishop goes to the aid of Bishop Bashford of India and Bishop John E. Robinson of China, both of whom have broken down from overwork. He will hold a number of confer ences, and will have general supervis ion of the work during this time. It may be he will again visit Naini Tal and catch some more of those 27-inch trout. And who knows? he may grow that fierce Van Dyke again. T. P. A. Votes to Help Drive For Salvation Army $60,000 The execut'ive committee of Travel ers' Protective association, countiijg among its membership hundreds of traveling salesmen here, at a meet ing yesterday decided to help in the Salvation Army drive for $60,000 here the week of September 9.

Sheriff Gets Slacker, and Pint of Booze ?t Resort Sheriff Clark arrested a man with out a registration card and found an other with a pint of booze in his pocket during a midnight raid Sat urday at 'the Scheschey.road hoaise near Carter lake. Ralph Taylor failed to show that he had registered under the draft and George Smith carried the exhilaration. The officers found a dozen men and women dancing and drinking in the place. Numerous reports about the resort have been received of late. Only One Car "Squeal."

Dumber production, stimulated by tne sudden enormous demand trora cantonments and other government operations, netted forest and saw mill owners as well as distributors' profits several times above those of nor mal years.

Meat packers, flour millers and can ners stood at the fop "of the list of food profit takers, according to in come returns. Farmers also made money heavily lasr year, but not enough of their returns have beer analyzed to justify -a ler.eral state ment of their profits, officials say.

There were no casualties.. The Germans dropped- five bombs on Thursday night and six on Friday night, two of the latter failing to ex plode. The hospital tents cover sev eral acres. The nearest bomb struck within 20 yards of one large tent. Along the Vesle the French and Americans have continued their -harassing artillery fire day and night, the Germans replying at intervals. There was no infantry action on either side and the line remains unchanged. Th,p Germans apparently are con fining their efforts to the air, their bombing machines Friday night reaclting points alone; the Marne south and "southwest of Fismes, endeavor ing to bomb bridges and railway cen ters and places wherever they thought troops mighmbe quartered. Anti-aircraft guns quickly drove off the enemy before they could do much damage. At some places the Germans dropped bombs on either side of the Marne where the French and Americanswere completing the reconstruction of bridges destroyed by the Germans in their retreat.
