OLFACTORY EXPEDITION IS Aroma Arising From Our Industries Shows Progress of Western Gateway INSTRUCTIVE OMAHA TRIP Qrruha is t most fortunate city in the number and variety of its smells. There is no better test of the indus tries and interests of any city than the odors which pervade its atmosphere. If these are many and of diverse char acter it is safe to conclude that the citv is prosperous and happy and busv. Omaha is alt of these things. judging from her smells. There are many one-scent cities communities which poesess and are known by a single aroma, or at most two or three mingled types of fra grance. Boston, for example, with its verv air permeated by the odor of baked beans and cod fish balls. Chi cago, smelling of fresh fish and stale vegetables. St. Louis, redolent of bock beer. Los Angeles, with the fra grance of orange blossoms, somewhat diluted with the scent of eastern tourists and burnt gasolene. Omaha is not cribbed and confine in any such way by limitations on the extent of its appeal to the nasal or gans. It has smells galore, indicative of the bustling, varied life of this metropolis of the midwest. There is that pungent odor that wafts its way gently to our noses when the wind is in the south. At first whiff almost anyone would conclude that this is of an offensive nature. Far would such a conclusion be of the truth." That odor is the very type and symbol of the source of a great part of the wealth which has made beauty and happiness possible in Omaha. What would Omaha be without its packing district? When properly as sociated with the things which that district has created the south winds become fragrant, to the discriminat ing nose. Center of Commerce. Sometimes there floats over the city from the river section a thin hare, with a somewhat gaseous flavor. No one in Omaha chokes on this, be cause it comes from the teeming rail road yards at the gateway between the east and the west. It is a smell that speaks eloquently of the opu lence of coal fields and coke ovens, and that tells the story of a nation's transcontinental commerce. One would naturally expect that from a smelter a smell would arise. Especially if it hapened to be the big gest smelter of the kind in the world, BIG AMERICAN HOSPITALS NOW FILLED BY YANKS Military Institutions Built in France Are Put to use After Recent Battles. , By Associated Press. Paris, Aug. 17. The fierce fighting of American troops around Cantigny, Chateau-Thierry and other centers of the big enemy offensive, has brought in its train a sudden transformation and development in the great Ameri can military hospital at Neuilly in the Paris suburbs and others like it in the suburbs of Auteuil, Joinville and other points, which are now in truth American institutions not only in name, foundation, staff and equip ment, but in that grimmest element of a hospital's work, wounded men American wounded borne back from the fighting front. The Americanism of these hospitals has proved a timely blessing to the young American heroes who got out alive from the furnace of fire, giving them American surroundings, Ameri can surgeons and nurses, their own language in which to hear and express their cares. American food, and some tiling of that spirit of home which, people of the same blood carry across the sea. The big Neuilly establishment has been taxed to its utmost to meet this sudden influx from the great offensive. Its capacity was suddenly swollen from 500 to 1,200 or 1,500, with a con siderable part of the arrivals Ameri cans. Five hundred cases arrived in a single day of the June fighting. Most of them were original cases, direct from the field and not yet op erated on. They had come in ambu lances, two days on the road, for there are no railroads linking the remote storm centers where the enemy strikes his surprise blows. But great as the emergency was, it was success fully met, and in the first call made upon it to care for American wounded the big American institution added an other page to its record of devoted service, Magnitude of Work. At 10-o'clock this morning the di recting surgeon started on his daily inspection of the cases under his care, and going with him, one had the op portunity of seeing the magnitude of this work, the smoothness with which it was proceeding, with here and there a glimpse of the American wounded marines, artillerymen, infantry and machine gun men. The war surgeons with their staffs of nurses had cared for the cases through the night and day, and now the chief surgeon of the section was making his tour to see how each case had progressed and to direct further course of treatment. Ahead stretched the long corridor, with cots filled with wounded lining one side, while the wards opened from the other side. The corridor was bathed with sunshine from the long row of windows, and many of the men.had their windows open taking a sun bath. One of them had the idea that the sunshine would be a healing balm for his wound, and the ugly opening in the left arm was laid out so as to get the full slant of the sun. There was little or no odor of anas thetics or drugs, such as one is apt to associate with hospitals. Every thing was scrupulously clean, floors, windows, bed linen; women were at work making every nook and corner immaculate; vases of bright flowers were on all the nurses' tables to give an air of cheer, and the whole place had the stamp of comfort. Use Corridors as Wards. These corridors have had to be used as wards during the heavy influx of wounded from the big fights of early June, when every available corner of which is probably equivalent to say ing that it is the biggest smelter in the universe. Those who have smelt Omaha's smelter, when the wind is favorable are ready to agree as to the bigness of the smell, at least. But it has a golden flavor. It smells like the mines of Ophir, and its auriferous fragrance has a rich and opulent aroma that brings to the smeller vis ions of some fabled land where one may pluck twenty dollar gold pieces from the bushes by the roadside. Less sternly pervasive odors are not lacking in Omaha. A dozen parks and thousands of well kept gardens tell the fragrant story of the perfume of flowers that, helps ta sweeten all of life. The real haven for the seeker of na sal delights, however, is the whole sale district. There one may sniff and sniff and never fail to find an odor new, a fragrance strange and wierd. Wholesale District Smells. There is no more delightful wav to spend an hour than to take an olfac tory expedition to this district. No more than a hint can be given of the numerous appeals which are made to the refined and educated nostril. There is the soft fragrance of ripe and overripe fruit that drifts out of the commission houses. There is the aroma, suggestive of fried chicken and roast turkey coming from the poultry houses. Drug establishments pro claim their presence with hydrochlo ric acid and asefoedita. The alluring scent of fresh roasted coffee drifts into the air. And so on, and so on. The experienced ameller, though, will attempt to detach himself from the detailed odors, and catch the gen eral effect. A firm somewhere aome time" ago ascertained the favorite perfumes of several thousand women, and con cocted a powder or a liquid or some thing combining all of them. It is claimed that the result has a uni versal appeal that every woman loves the compound. Something like that is the case in the Omaha wholesale district. It is surrounded by an atmosphere com- j.j i . . .. pounciea 01 smeiis mai in comDina tion ought to appeal to any olfactory organ, however sniptious and particu lar it may be. Anyone who can't find a smell to suit him in this district ought to be banished to China. the building was suddenly called into use, doubling and trebling its beds within two days. Gradually, how ever, the French cases are going to French hospitals, and all the Ameri can cases will soon be installed in the regular wards. Entering one of the wards with American cases, the wounded men were sitting up removing their band ages in order that the directing sur geon might note the progress. Some of them were far enough on the road to recovery to be up and dressed, and with soldierly instinct they stood rigidly st attention as tha chief sur geon entered. But every man of them, in bed or standing at attention, was smiling and apparently happy. These smiling faces gave no evidence of pain, and of 500 cases visited this morning only two complained of pain When inquiry was made of the head nurse as to this absence of pain among hundreds of men with com pound fractures, and ugly, gaping wounds from shrapnel and shell, she said there was comparatively little pain after the first few days, and then only when the wound was handled. Punish Police Officers Who Fail to Salute Flag Chief of Police Dempsey says he will take drastic action against any officer on the Omaha police force, who, while in uniform and on duty, fails to salute the flag as the colors pass by in procession. ' The head of the police department Lhas already issued an order com manding the salute of the flag under these conditions, but he has heard that some of the officers have been careless and remiss in their observ ance, especially in cases where the flag has been borne in procession by draft men on their way to the depots for entrainment. Saturday a supplemental order was issued, calling attention of the offi cers to informal reports of delin quencies and saying that steps would be taken to discipline any officer fail ing in this regard in the future. "My men must be 100 per cent American in their deeds as well as their spirit," said the chief, "and 1 shall expect of every man that he show proper reverence for the flag of our country." Sues for Permission to Buy Stock in State Bank Miroslav C. Ruzicka has filed suit in district court against the Lindsay State bank, Lindsay, Neb., and its stockholders, Frank J. Swoboda. John W. Swboda, Emil V. Swoboda. John J. Muck, Leonard Eucker, Andrew Hansen, Charles Mamrath and John Korth, asking that he, as a stockhold er, be given the right to buy an extra snares of the bank's capital stock. Ruzicka alleges that he holds 43 shares of the capital stock. He al leges that the other stockholders held a meeting sometime ago and de cided to raise the bank's capital stock from $25,000 to $35,000. He alleges the meeting was unknown to him and that the other stockholders di vided the shares of(the extra $10,000 among themselves, althuogh he had a legal right to purchase 17'i shares of the new rating. He now wants the court to cancel 1754 shares of the capital stock and make them over to him.

This is the order of County Food Administrator Allen. It was further ordered that Raisman contrib ute $25 to the Red Cross. At a hearing before Mr. Allen, it was proven that Raisman had violat ed the food regulations and had sold sugar and flour in excess quantities.
