o kXJt, V LITTLE RED Of!E' npQi.1 SCHOOL IN STATUS TO GO Bill Is Up to Redistrict the State and to Provide Means of Trans portation. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Jan. 26. (Special.) To redistrict the state of Nebraska for choql purposes, enlarging the ichool districts so as to provide two or three rooms and as many teach ers for each school is the plan which will be proposed in a bill being drawn by Representative Jacobs of Custer county and which will be in troduced in the house in the next few days, VWe want to get away from the oiie-room country school and to give, the farmers' children a better cFince," said Mr. Jacobs. "This can be-don by throwing 25 or 30 sec tions of land in one district, estab lishing a school with several teachers and providing means to transport the children to and from the school. The siz of the district of course will vary according to local condi tions and the density of the popula tion." Two years ago the Ollis bill was passed incorporating the same plan ! but making.it optional with the dis tricts and as a result nfct a single one took advantage of it. Before the law. can be put into effect, the Ollis ')ill provided, 35 per cent of the prop erty owners had to approve it. The Jacobs bill will make the re districting mandatory. County lines will be disregarded in the formation of the larger districts where they :annot be conveniently followed. The Custer county man is still undecided as to whether the redis ricting should be done by the local people or by a representative of the state superintendent's office. i Douglas County Casss to Come Bsfore Supreme Court Lincoln, Jan.- 26.

But all doctors agree that colds are a forerunner of influenza and if the bowels are kept jpen the danger is vastly less. Here is the reason. If food-waste is allowed to lie in the system, it ferments and fills the blood with dangerous poisons which the kid neys, lungs and skin pors struggle to throw off. If cold attacks then, there is nothing to stop it Even medicines lose their full effective ness because of the overwork, de manded. Colds can Easily Turn Into Influ enza and Pneumonia. The first question your doctor ill ask is, "How are your bowels?" He knows the vital importance of a thorough laxative, one .that will completelyclean the system. Get a bottle of SALINOS from your druggist This is a thoro lax ative which will completely empty the entire digestive tract, including the lower bowels, where most pois ons are formed. SALINOS is really pleasant to take, pleasant in 'taste and in action. SALINOS is not expensive, a bot tle for a Quarter at your druggists (larger sizes, Fifty cents and a Dollar). Be safe!

African Golf Sport of American Army; French Have New Game Knocking Off Hats of German Soldiers Principal Pas time Along Rhine; Even Though Man Devel oped Into Second Ty Cobb, Business Has ' Little Future, Says Doughboy. By DAMON RUNYOLV Staff Correspondent of Universal Service. With the American Army of Oc cupation, Coblenz, Jan. 26. Aside from a little African golf and a few indoor sports there hasn t been much doing with athletic diversion since the Americans hit the Rhine. The foot ball season is over. It's too cold for baseball. Somebody for got to bring the tennis racquets along. So sport has been pretty dead around here until yesterday when some of the French dropped in and gave us a demonstration of a new pastime which is said to be most popular in the French sector around ilayence. It is. also said the British are fairly adept at -it in Cologne and that the Belgians in Aix Les Baines are really expert. The Americans had heard of it but never seen it played. The game is played with a cane or sword and a German civilian hat. The idea is to knock off the German's hat if the German fails to salute the colors. ' A battalion of French Algerian troops from the famous fighting corps came here by boat recently to be reviewed by General Dickman and the French Genera! Mangin, Quite a delegation of German civil ians lined the Esplanade along the Rhine river front as the troops land ed with their picturesque red fezzed band playing and bugles blowing. In the crowd were a lot of French offi cers and numerous Americans, in cluding both officers and enlisted men. German Kellys Hit Breeze. . As the, French colors went past the hands of all the soldiers flew to their caps in salute. The Ger man civilians stood silently watch ing. Suddenly, bingo, up went a German hat high into the air. A French officer had reached out with his cane and deftly flicked it off the astonished German's head. Zip! Up went another German cady into the ozone and toward the right field wall of the Rhine. Zip, zip! More German kellys hit the breeze. Our soldiers at first were vastly surprised at the lid shower. They couldn't understand what made the bats fly. When they discovered the motive power they became greatly interested but also intensely critical, after the characteristic of Ameri cans toward any game they do not play. They commented on the technique of some ff the Frenchmen as, it appealed to them, not realizing that they were seeing the best hat knockers in all Rhenish Prussia. "There's one fellow there who's picking nothing but derbies," com mented a doughboy. "I don't see nothing to knocking off them old iron dicers. I'd like to see him swing on,a flat cap once just' to see how good his eye is." , j "Sir," said another doughboy? ac costing a French captain, "to settle an argument between me and ""my friend over -here, will you tell -me whether a fedora hat counts more than a Yale crush?"

Ap proximately 400 Lincoln voters will be disqualified by the alien voting amendment passed at the last state election, City Clerk Theodore Berg estimates. Mr. Berg has received no official notice from the secretary of state to remove the names of the foreign-born voters, who have not completed their - naturalization be yond, taking out first papers, but he has already started upon hTs own initiative to. make the revisions. About Only division, became involved in a heat ed debate with Lt. Stern, from the Third army headquarters, the former claiming that a cleek would be more efficacious in getting at a hat which was bunkered between a pair of large ears, the latter contending in f . t . i v As for the Germans, they couldn't grasp the game at all. Germans aren't much on sport anyway They hadn't been advised by proc lamation or otherwise that they'd have to salute French colors and Americans hadn't been requiring salutes of American colors since oc cupation. Some people say it isn't the custom for Germans as civilians to even salute their own colors. So they were pretty soft-for hat-knockers-off. Junius Wood, of the Chicago News, didn't think much about the ability of the supposed French ex perts. "There ain't one of1 them could hit old Joe Gans in the head with a sack of peas," he allowed- Hank Gowdy, who was spending the week in Coblenz, was also un impressed. "If them guys under the hats would duck now and then 'twouldn't be so easy fpr them Frenchmen" he said. "I'd like to see one of them knock my lid off if I knew he was going to try. Look at the times Poll Perritt tried to dust me off when I was up there at the old home plate. Its a cinch to hit a winging target." Rare Form Displayed. Despite these carping criticisms, however, it must be said that the Frenchmen at times displayed rare form.' Some Americans were around that night deprecating the exhibition on the ground that we have tne exclusive hat-knocking-off privileges in this section and that it was-a clear infringement of our copyright, yet the fact remains Americans had failed to exercise their rights in that respect so Frenchmen cannot . be blamed for invading this territory. It they re going to organize a hat-knocking-off . league, however, Americans are apt to be bad tailend-, ers tor a time until tney gt the hang of the game. Meantime, tonight there was heard along the Rhine the sound of cy clonic sneezing. Many high collar ed German hair cuts were exposed to chilly breezes yesterday. Here after local hat styles are likely to be sunbonnets which you can tie under the chin. And what the score was at the finish nobody knows, but it is rumor ed an American colonel wandering around with a camera in hand, snapped a couple of young French officers attached to headquarters as they took their moriaritys a second tme at some skypieces and these officers suddenly disappeared. May be they weren't sufficiently develop ed. ' Also,; that , night ; a couple of soldiers "were? heard "arguing that even if a man - should become a regular Ty Cobb at knocking off hats he wouldn't get anywhere be cause the business 'really has no future- , , LEHDEPi PARTIES B 1131 1 EBi EXTRA Congress Unable to Clear Cal endars, in 31 Working Days That Remain of Present Term. - Washington, Jan. 26.

Garner Says Germany . Should Be Admitted - to League of Nations Urbana ,111., Jan. 26. Frof. James W. Garner, head of the department of political science at the University of Illinois, in an address here today, expressed the opinion that Germany should be admitted to the league of nations. "If Germany is left out there will gather around her a group of friend ly states and she will become the center of intrigue that will be a constant source of danger," said Pro fessor Garner. "We will have the world divided in two and as for those who say that Germany's word does not mean anything, we must remember that the Germany of to day is not the Germany oS 1914, con trolled by the kaiser and J the crown prince. There is every rciison to be lieve that democratic Germany may be relied uuon to keep her word." TROOPS WATCH POLLS AS HUNS CAST BALLOTS No Disorder and No Indication of .
