ft Vifti AEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY" 4, 1313. CETTEH SERVICE GALIPAIGH OEGUII BY EXPRESS GO. Nation-Wide Camnaign for Better Packing of Express Shipments is to Be Started Soon. Plan of most comprehensive nature to brine about conditions which will make possible a marked improvement m the express service throughout the country, were, an' nounced by VV. S. Warner, local rep resentative of the American Railway Express Co. A Better Service Campaign" will be undertaken by the 135.000 men and women em ployed in the express business, for the purpose of raising the stand ards of packing, wrapping and marking express shipments. The drive will start on February 10, in every city and town in the country. It will comprise a cam paign of Education and appeal among express employes simultane ously with a widespread effort to secure the co-operation ot the ship nine public along the same lines No new packing or marking rules 'have been adopted for the cam- taien. but express drivers and re ceiving clerks will be instructed hereafter to insist, firmly but court eously, th;U- the rules already in force be strictly adhered to. It is expected that all who ship bv exoress. and JUO.lMMJUU ship ments are annually traveling that way, will be keenly interested in the forthcoming drive, because it so intimately concerns the transporta tion end of. many different trades and industries, some of which de pend almost exclusively upon the :xpress service. During "Light" Months, The "Better Packing Better Marking" campaign will be conduct ed at a period of the year when the express movement is usually the lightest and just before the heavy commodity business starts to move in March. Not all of the fault is laid at the door of the shipper. The express company officials are free to admit their own shortcomings nd do not evade responsibility for :hem. During the campaign there ivill be an energetic endeavor to prevent rough handling, mis-routing r other deviations from correct ex press methods in offices and term inals, and closer supervision of the work of employes is expected to improve internal operating condi :ious. A determined effort will.be made during- the campaign to eradicate iviiat is known as the "No Mark" rvil. From July 1 to November 30 af last year, 127,859 shipments, an average of about 25,500 a month, were turned over to the "No Mark" bureaus maintained by the com pany, because all means of identi Hcation of either shippers or con signees had been lost, and their de ivery, except in a few cases, made impossible. Personal baggage, wdware and automobile tires com irise the largest proportion of the 'No Mark" shipments, which are jttrilinted largely to the failure of shippers to mark clearly and to pack heir goods substantially. With the iielp of the shippers and. through the influence, of the campaign, the ;xpress company hopes to solve this oroblem. ; x Many "No -Mark" shipments lose iheir individual character because ,'iie single tag upon which a ship per depends to carry his package :o destination, is torn off. The use of tags at all is discouraged by the expressmen, but where it is abso lutely necessary, shippers are.urged , never to use less than two. "With i personal baggage sent by express. I it is wise to enclose the name and address of the shipper, in case fur ther identification is necessary. :, Another cause of damage to. or loss of shipments in transit is the use of a poor quality -of wrapping paper and twine, or an insufficient riuantity of good paper. Old or second hand cartons and otjier con tainers, which do not stand up or tarry several old marks, are found to be responsible for many- ship ments being damaged, wrongly . de livered or going astray. Old marks on baggage have sent many trunks; tiid suitcases to the wrong destina tions.

Tiernan's. where they "next en tered as the clock was striking 3, finally satisfied their craving for Bohemia, with its' hilarity, its banks of acrid smoke, its explosive laugh ter, and its flashing beauties. "Don't you just adore, it?" said Kitty excitedly. "Did you ever see such people! Oh, Lord, what good times men do havel" Freed from the censorship of social eyes and a little excited, she began to grow kittenish, in deter mined effort to rival the formidable youth of Amy Forrester. Mrs. Chal-, loner, with her impenetrable,- smil-' ing calm, sipping her glass of cham pagne, frowned significantly. - "Kitty, be careful!" ; "A short life but a merry one I" exclaimed Mrs. LJghtbody reckless ly, looking around with thirsty eyes. She gathered in every tribute, even to the meanest, to the slanted glances of the heavy-jowled dancers, to the stares of the ratty waiters, crediting all to her personaPaccount. "I'm just waking up Look to your self, Gladys!" ...... The caution did not apply to Mrs. Challoner. At most, on the sculp tured white cheeks, a tongue of red showed and "in the eyes a sparkle of gathering excitement. To Amy, she was, and always remained, a complete mystery; . "I "She looks as though she had just come out of the ice box," she thought to herself. "Is she capable of emotion? What, attracts men to her?" Mfs. Challoner ha-d a high bred disdain of the crowd, a fastidi ous air of perpetually looking down on some one. Amy remembered Morley's description' of her former mistress and wondered. .What was she like in her own home, when the front door had been closed for the night. ' " .... -: , The sounds of rising, laughter, the whirling, breathless swaying of the dancers, tlie staccato music, glances and whispers divined the awakening of the primitive savage, the spectacle of this boisterous re laxation aroused in her the appetite for movement. ' She -danced cease lessly, never tired, never visibly ex cited. Once Amy caught a glimpse of what burned beneath the surface a sudden glance in her direction when Charlie Pardee was lingering beyond the needs of strict . polite ness. He saw it, and left her in stantly and docilely. "If I were .a man," thought Amy, remembering the look, "I would never fall in love with her. I shouldn't dare!" She would have liked to discuss her with Monte Bracken. Up to now, it had amused him to acquiesce in the attitude ot indifference she J tiacl assumed towards mm. She resented this, as she had re sented everything he had done or left undone. Nevertheless, she was always conscious of his presence, whether she followed him in the tangle of the dancers or caught the fragments of his conversation with Irma, fragments which came to her through the jumble of the strident evening. Mie watched tne two cov ertly, wondering how deep his in terest went, resenting the intimacy of their conversation. "He thinks I'm too much of a child to put himself out," she thought irritably. When he. should ask her to dance, as finally he must, she would refuse curtly, with some sharp answer, which would bring him to a realization of her displea sure. , x He rose, at last; and approached where she sat on the fringe of the lushing crowd. A little gleam came into her eyes. 'Mrs. Forrester? he said, bow ing. She turned, as thouglr in sur prise. .. : ; ." "Yesr . "Mav I srive vou the ODDortunitv cl refusing to dance this with me," he said, looking good-humoredly in to her eyes. ' "Why?" she said, taken back. "Because you will refuse." She got up suddenly. "Let's dance!" He obeyed. (Continued Tomorrow.) , ' CHAPTER XV. Immediately Amy wis satisfied that Monte Bracken would be there, she felt a sharp return of her for mer irritation. She gave him her hand loosely, turning to the oth ers, who were already discussing new plans for the evening. Dress ing was voted a bore, the conven tional restaurant another bore, the ater a dreadful bore, and slumming the only real thing to do. "Slumming is tbo adorable 1" claimed Mrs. Lightbody, bobbing up and down and clapping her hands without notice of the staring crowd. "I just adore slumming. You can have so' much more fufr when no body's watching!" --' They dined at a beer garden in Harlem, amused themsilves noisily at a melodrama. in the Grand Opera House, until warned by the manage ment,, and came down Broadway, dipping into chop suey restaurants, flashy cabarets, and shoddy dance halls. At 2 o'clock, after this pro found study of the habits of the un explored races which live about Fifty-ninth street, they returned to civilization, for a little breathing spell at a roof garden. "Hello," said . Mrs. Challoner, who was ahead, if here aren t our hus bands!" .. Challoner, a strapping coal miner, pitchforked into society by the genius of a masterful father, greet ed her without surprise. Sober? said Mrs. Challoner, raising her eyebrows. , "faTTly.'' "Amusing yourself?" "So-so." "Want us to clear out?" "No; we're quite respectable aren't you?" Good lordmend husband- wouldn't you know it?" exclaimed Kitty, in whispered anguish to Amy. "For heaven's sake hang on to the captain, or there'll be murder 1" With a rapid motion, she attached herself to Laracy's arm, who, after start ot surprise, being a wide awake young gentleman, compre- hended the role he was tOaBiay. The meeting of the Lightbodys was simplicity itself. Hello, what are you doing here? Hope 1 m not in your way, led dear. "You? No. Why should you?" He nodded affably to the rest. and followed Challoner back to their party in an opposite box a thin. middle-aged, bow-legged, horsy man, quite bald and world-weary. touching family reunion, said Bracken meditatively. "And there is still a blue law forbidding husbands to kiss their wives in public. What an awful moment! said Amy, who, convinced by Mrs. Light body's agitation, was awaiting a touch of melodrama. "What will she tell him?" "I say, Amy you are green 1" said Tody Dawson, from his 'superior worldly wisdom. Ted Ltghtbody care what Kitty does? That's a good one P . He went off into a roar of laughter. "But then " "Oh, that's just Kitty's way of ap pearing devilish!" Dancing this with me, aren t you? said Captain tfarrisdale, stalking up. Under orders said. Amy, with laugh. The captain was not a subtle per son." , "Been dying to break away the whole evening' he said, with a kill ing glance. .

"Say the word, and I'm the came." hesaid rashly. : 'You are direct, aren't you?" she said, leading him ori "Yes; I don't take long to make up my mind." He added pointedly, i"I have been watGhing you." "And you never are disappoint ed?" "Eh, what?. Oh, I see you're mak ing fun of me," he said, iiy short breaths, for the task of guiding her through, the ..whirling crowd was an ordeal. .. , .... T. . . "Clever man!" r . ... "Look here; suppose we sit this out." "Thought you could dance all night with me." He laughed and stopped short "I like you; you've got spirit. Sit down here a moment." He turned and stared at her. "Have I'met you before? - Tell me about yourself. What are you married, divorced or a widow?" - ".You must be awfully rich," she demurely. J'Why? Oh, I seel No offense. I just wanted to know." "Ask Kitty, then." He made a wry face. "Look here; you don't think I'm in love with Kitty Lightbody now?" ; "No; you couldn't be. You're a married man.' .... He looked at her a long moment, studying her, not used to an attitude of opposition iff the women he condescended to admire. "I can't make you out," he said, frowning. "Perhaps I'm divorced." s "I wish you were." . .- "Heavens, how, rapid you are! Look, out; Kitty's watching youl" "Look here," he said, 'if you don't believe I say what I mean, ride back to Chilton with me in my car." She stood tip, laughing, as another dance began. "Will you?" -n. "Tell you later," she said evasive ly. If. Mrs, Lightbody wished to use her as a screen, she could take the consequences. Mrs. Lightbody, who had, in fact, watched them with growing anxiety, greeted them with a marked petu lance. "Joe.- come right' away from that designing blond young woman! You are entirely too attentive." "Captain Barrisdale has followed your orders splendidly,' said Amy slowlv. "What orders?" ' "Why, didn't you tell him to make love to me?" Barrisdale pulled at hjjs mustache and shot her an imploring glance" from undejjiis tufted eyebrows. "Well, Joe, the joke's on you," said Mrs. Lightbody acidly, "and serves you right, too, wasting your time on a bride!"

Huns in the Blood Garage in Basement is 1 Again Before Council The proposal to inaugurate a mu nicipal garage in the basement of the Auditorium, which a few weeks ago was endorsed by all the city commissioners, nearly went by the board on a motion of Commission er Butler to place it on file.
