THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1018. 9 UTILITY TYPES ARE FEATURE AT POULTRY SHOW Useless Birds and "Freaks" Are Noticeably Lacking at , yBig Exhibition in the Auditorium. With 1,500 "birds" crowing lustily, , cackling contentedly, cooing affec tionately, honking stridently, and quacking continuously, the Munici- Dal auditorium will rrannnrl (nr ill. balance of the week to the bucolic strams of a gigantic syncopated barnyard melody, Monday morning witnessed the official opening of the fifth annual exhibition of the Omaha Foultry as sociation, which is designated as 'America's first great educational show." Exhibitors 'from 'Nebraska, Kan sas, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois have selected from their poultry yards fowls of the choicest symmetry, coloring, marking, and . carriage, representing' the bluest . blood and most aristocratic lineage, to snow m competition in what is considered the premier exhibition ot the middle west. Best Arrangement Yet. Under the direction of Manager Franke, the arrangements of the ex hibits this year is the best that has yet been developed. All of the pens are accessible from all points and wide side aisles permit of an easy circulation of spectators and the - best facilities for judging. One of the most impressive fea tures of the show this year is the marked -predominance of utility fowl. There are none of the freak types, such as "frizzlies," "silkies," Creve-Coeurs, or the various orna- t mental types of crested poultry, and even the exhibit of bantams is small , '.his year. Utility Fowls Predominate. The insistent demand for food producing types, egg layers and meat-making breeds, due to war conditions, has had an evolutionary effect and hai weeded out the unfit, , leaving only the fit for breeding and exhibition purposes. , It is noticeable, too, tfiat most all of the types of fowl on display are those which are old reliables and have been standard for generations. There is a generous display of the sluggish Asiatics, breeds noted for 1 1 ' rt . 1 . I ' u nc r nesn-nroaucinir uuaimrs. sutii is the Buff Cachins, Black Lang ihans and Light Brahmas, birds that it maturity will weigh almost as . much as a turkey. Then there are the egg-laying types. These consist of the Medi terraneans and are classified as Leg horns, Anconas, Houdans, Black Minorcas, all of them veritable egg laying machines. Of these the Black Minorcas are the most remarkable, both for their laying qualities and the size of their eggs. It has been luggested that the eggs of the latter breed, because of their size, should be sold by the pound, rather than the time-honored method of by the dozen. Plenty of Americans. f Then there are the "Americans, such as the Barred Plymouth Rocks, 1 which are considered the best all purpose fowl in the world today, the descendants of the "old blue hen" ' being able to compete with any breed in egg and meat production and being noted for earlier maturity. In this as in all other exhibits, the competition is very strong. Next in popularity are the Rhode Island Reds, both rose and single comb, and there are some mighty choice entries in this class. The different breeds of Wyandottes, another HMHftfotf FILMLAND K'THOTO PlY OFFERING J FOR.4 TODAY" NEW offerings are booked at the Strand, Sun and Muse theaters today. Douglas Fairbanks in "He Comes Up Smiling" will be at the Strand today and for the re mainder of the week in what is said to be the best pictur that Doug ever made. At the Sun today and tomorrow will be seen Gail Kane in "Tl.e Daredevil," a play that is full of action and thrills, while at the Muse Norma Talmadge is to return for a one day's engagement in the play in which she was seen at this theater several months ago, "De Luxe Annie." Francis X. Bushman and Mrs. Bushman, the Beverly Bayne of mo tion pictures, have changed compan ies and will appear with Vitagraph productions in the coming year. The Bushman-Bayne team has been working in Metro for some time. A Windsor tie, spats and tortoise shell spectacles never made an ex p.rienced movie scenario writer.

American development, are also very popular and there are several exhib its of the comparatively new breed jrf Rhode Island Whites. The great egg r layer among the American breeds is represented in the Wyan dotte. English types are represented in the white and buff Orpingtons, a splendid fowl, better adapted to meat production than to egg laying. A newcomer among the exhibits this year is a Dutch pro duction, the Silver Campine, a beau tiful type of bird in its cblorings and a great egg producer. Fighting Varieties There There is a noticeable sprinkling of Cornish games and other fighting varieties in the show this year, prob ably due to the world-wide develop ment of the combative spirit. As vet no exhihit of America' great Thanksgiving bird, the lordly turkey, has been entered, but it is thought by tomorrow there will be several notable displays. The Peters Milling company has a fine display in the large flock of wild mallard ducks exhibited in one of the oens on the south side of the room. These fowls, it is said, are easily domesticated. ' I here is a small exhibit ot Chinese and Ring Neck pheasants which is attracting a great deal ot attention. Leghorn Exhibit Attracts. Before the war the exhibit of pet pigeons used to be quite a feature. Many beautiful types of tumblers, pouters, turbots and fantails were shown. But high prices for feed and the uselessness of the types caused a lack of interest in them and they have been superseded by the Homer types, which produce the dainty and toothsome squabs, which delight the rich man's epicurean tastes and helps put large gobs of his wealth in cir culation. There is quite a large ex hibit of this type of pigeon this year. One of the notable exhibits at this year's show is a pen of Barron Leg horns, entered from the Cherrycroft farm of John W. Welch. In an egg laying contest this pen shows an average capacity of 240 eggs per an num, per bird. One pullet in the contest laid 31 eggs in March. Judging of the fowls by Judges A. L. Smith, St. Paul.-Minn.; J. C. John ston, Bridgeton, , Mo., and Adam Thompson, Amity, Mo., began Mon day morning. The only class that was complete at the time was the Anconas and the judges started work on them. Irish Self-Determination Club Is Formed in Omaha A gathering of men of the Irish race met Suday afternoon and ef fected an organization to be known as the "Irish Self-Determination Club." .

War's Deadly Dullness May Force World Peace By DAVID WARK ' GRIFFITH (Who staged his latest master piece, ,"Hearts of the World," now playing at the Brandeis theater, on the battlefields of France.) This awful thing must never be allowed to happen again as long as the'world lasts. That is the thought that was up permost in my mind as I stood in the front line trenches in Flanders and watched the horrid tragedy of war blazing back and forth across the wastes of x No Man's Land. And that is the universal cry that is, coming from all the tortured nations i who were drawn into the war. This desolate and piteous cry has probably followed every war since the world .began. Has our anguished prayer' any better chance to be heard than all the other cries for peace that come echoing with mockery to us out of the illimitable sorrows ,of the past? There is no question at all that wars happen very largely owing to the eagerness of the soldiers forladventure. The military caste in every country is ever pressing for war. - If there had been no military caste in Germany there would have been no war. And without the picturesque glamor that always has gone with armies there would have been no military caste. Consider the case of the German farm -boy. From infancy he has been getting up at daybreak; he has worked all day in the fields when not pegging away at school. At night he crawled into his weary bed. Every day was like every other day and every day was a day of bitter, uninteresting toil. The time came when he was called to the colors. He found himself transformed into a young god. He stood at a palace gate with a drawn saber flashing in his hand. A silver breast plate cover ed the swelling chest that but yes terday was concealed by a soiled farmer's smock. On his head was a silvVr casque with a tali horse hair plume that nodded and tossed in the breezes. When he went on guard duty a magnficent military band escorted him down the Lin den. , Our civilization has been guilty of bur tragic error. ' It has made the machinery of peace dull, tiresome,, stupid, old It ha , made the machinery of L I war vivid, picturesque, beautiful, attractive. Armies thrill with life and adventure. Armies are proud; they tingle with pride. Various remedies have been of fered for the correction of this crucial error of civilization. It appears to me that the evil is about to correct itself. I have a feeling that this war will do a great deal toward squeez ing the romance out of army life. The dreadful squalor of modern fighting gives a new aspect t to an age-old drama. After the war is over the farmer may wear again the gleaming cuirass; his saber may flash as of old, but it will never be the-same. Under the shining armen he will, in imagination, feel the crawling vermin of the trenches. When the military band escorts -him down the Linden he will remem ber how, on another day, he was escorted into a trench that crawled with lice and gav; forth reeking vile odors, that was horrible with tilth and mud. This life of a soldier in modern war is the life of an underpaid, overworked ditch digger, com pelled to live in discomfort and danger. i That's not the stuff upon which the war monster can feed with safety. With the adventure gone and the picturesqueness gone, the war monster is due for a very slim diet. In devoting herself to the glori fication of war, Germany has de stroyed its glories. In seekyig to transform a nation into an 'army, she has made armies forever d's tasteful. In seeking to make war fare the steady diet of mankind, she has given the world a severe case of martial indigestion. Out of this situation may Ww not ihope that' n6w that this war is done, the war drums will beat no longer; that the battle flags i 'M be furled! AMERICA IS NOT DEMOCRATIC TO NEW CITIZENS Chairman of Minnesota De fense Council Urges "Amer icanization" in Address Before Large Audience. . America cannot be a real demo cracy until the Americanization problem is solved, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter oHMinneapolis, chairman of the Minnesota Women's Council of Defense, speaking on "The New America," told a large audience on Monday at the Fontenelle. We have a false relation with the people who come fro.m other lands," she said. "The woman with a shawl over her head can teach the college wo men with her Ph. D. a thing or two because she has lived closer to real life. The Dagoes, Sheenies and Syrian peddlers, upon whom we Americans cast our vituperation, are the same Dagoes and Sheenies who fought for these flags of the allies which decorate our luncheon table today." Failed in Our Duty. "It is a hideous indictment that so many men in our army cannot read of write English. We have not done our duty -to immigrantSi We have not taught them, we have permitted them to do our dirty work, housed them poorly, paid them ooorlv and put them into a lower grade of civilization than that which we enjoy. These are all cankers in our American civilization which must be cut-out before we will have a real democracy. We need the mysticism and spirituality of the Russian, the courtesy, kindliness and passion of the Italian and so something from each nation. We must weave them into the fabric of our Americanism, but before we attempt to do it we must learn a few things, prepare ourselves with humility, drop the attitude of the superior approaching the inferior, learn the national char acteristics of the person to be ap proached and must imbue ourselves with belief in the doctrine of the brotherhood of man." "War has cast the spotlight on our own inconsistencies. We have against the brutality of the Germans, but how about our own brutality in the lynching of negroes, cruelty to Indians, 1,500 girls who annually disappear, our homes for delinquent girls? Twenty thousand disabled soldiers will be taught new trades but how about the 700,000 annually disabled industrial workers? What are we doing for them? Is there more danger in factory than fight ing at the front. Two per cent of our army suffered casualties, but seven out of every 10 babies die each year. Is it more dangerous to be a baby under 1 year of age in this country than a soldier in bat tle?" . Inefficiency,1 excessive individual ism and disregard for existing condi tions are the great dangers to demo cracy to be guarded against in the reconstruction period Mrs. Winter, pointed out. Mrs. Winter, who is mentioned as the next president of the Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs, speaks under the auspices of the League to Enforce Peace. AT THE THEATERS AMUSEMENTS PHONE oug. 494.

The charm of the skit offered by Gladys Stark and Henry Berg man particularly pleased the big audience. The vocal ability of Florie Millership in the miniature musical comedy, "The Girl on the Magazine," was 'another feature to win hearty approbation. Nothing on the bill is more entertaining than the mvstifvintr card manioula- tions of Nate Leipzig. The song writers, Gilbert and rnedland, scofe a decided hit with some of their new compositions. The tuneful musical comedy suc cess, "Leave It to Jane," is founded upon George Ade's famous comedy, "The College Widow," and retains all the humor and delightful char acter impersonations of that high ly successful play with the addi: tional attraction of melodious music, it will be presented at the Boyd for this week with matinees next Thursday and Saturday. For fonr nights, commencing Sunday evening, December 1, at Boyd's theater, William Hodge will be sedn in his diverting comedy, "A Cure for Curables." Mr. Hodge has again put the laughter-loving public under a heavy contribution. His natural drollery and the sincer ity of his own performance are en hanced by the many amusing studies of character furnished by his asso ciates in the representation. To a large section of the playgoing public Mr. Hodge's performances are among the greatest theatrical plea sures of the day. There are women thousands of them itf France, who in two years have not had a comb, brush or hair pin. D. W. Griffith makes this statement. And Mr. Griffith ought to know, for he spent 18 months in France producing "Hearts of the World," his greatest achievement, which is now playing at the Bran deis theater.

The piece is a fairy tale, in which the Fairy Behylune takes Tyltyl on a journey with his first loves to find his real mate, visiting in its course the abodes of his ancestors and of his descendants. Allies Are Holding Huns Level at Spa Conference Paris, Nov. 25. (Havas.) The mixed conference between the allies and Germans continues at Spa, the German headquarters. Discussions are often quite lively, according to the Echo De Paris, but the allies imperatively put a stop to recrim inatfons intended to reopen conver sations on the actual signing of the armistice. Warns "Grass Widow" Not to Remarry for Six Months When Judge Day in district court granted a decree of divorce to Barbara Slafer from Charles Shifer, lie made the folhwing state ment: "You will understand that you must not remarry within a pe riod of six monthe from the date of the decree. Don't understand me as another woman did not ng ago. She thought that I said she must be remarried within six months, and her reply was, 'Judge, I will do the best I can.'" Mrs. Slafer told the court that she did not ask for any alimony for herself, but wanted an allowance for two children, Edward, S years old, and Julia, 2 years old. The judge ardered Slafer should pay her $30 per month for IS years for the chil dren. The wife attends Comenius night school and works during the day. She was married on November 13, 1913, in New York City, when she was 17 years old. Mayor and Friend to Give Spuds to Soldier Families Mayor'Smith and his friend, K. L. Tierce of Hemingford, Neb., are providing a carload of potatoes to be given to the dependent families of soldiers in Omaha. The mayor received the proposition from Mr. Pierce some time ago and Monday he had word that the- spuds are on the way. The mayor will pay the freight and is now planning with Mrs. Wilhelm, head of the civilian relief committee of the Red Cross, on the means of distributing them. Applications for the potatoes may be made either to the mayor or to Mrs. Wilhelm. t n ' n of "Benny" by Lincoln Man Clyde Gladfetter of Lincoln and Lawrence Nelson, both living at the Powell apartments, were sentenced to 30 days in the city jail by Polici Tuiina c: ri.ji..,.. juug Dim jiumiaj, uiauicucr Was charged with petit larceny, and Nel son with receiving stolen goods.
