BY GOOD START
AS BOYSCOUTS
Supt. Beveridge Praises Move
ment and Declares It
Will Have Vital Ef
fect on Nation.
Superintendent of Schools J. H.
llcveridge addressed a meeting of
about 250 scout leaders and masters
at the CreiRliton law building last
night. The meeting was held under
the auspices of CreiRliton university
and a cordial opening address was
made by Fa'her V. X. McMcnamy,
who expressed the desire of the uni
versity to co-operate in every way
with the local movement.
Beveridge Praises Movement.
"The boy scout movement is the
greatest ever inaugurated for char
acter building, said Superintendent
of Schools Beveridge, in his address
to the leaders c the movement in
Omaha.
"Balfour, and other famous Eu
ropean statesmen said before we
entered the war that America was
commercialized and materialized,
but did he realize that education was
behind that commercialism and that
education means idealism?1' Ameri
can literature and American history
showed ideals of our forefathers, but
the eyes of the world were on us
when we entered the great war
still belicveing that commercialized
America would he of little aid to
the allies. Rut the war progressed
and in 1918 our boys go down in
history as struggling beside Eng
land, France and Italy in the fight
fur ideals.
"It will fall to this generation
even more than those of the past to
keep these ideals in the souls of our
boys who arc now growing into
manhood.
Keeping Boys Fit.
"Instead of 450,000 members of
tlie organization in America I hope
that soon every boy may join the
great movement. The first draft
found 700,000 men rejected, unfit for
military service on account of physi
cal defects. One of the first things
in the boy scout's training is the
necessity of physical fitness and how
to take good care of himself."
J. J. Masters will address a mctt
.'ng of boy scout leaders Thursday
evening, and a course in army sign
nalling will be given by Austin Ware
of Creighton university.

first member of the executive com
mittee from the middle west. The

men on both coasts.
"We expect Mr. Head to be ap
pointed vice president of the entire
National Boy Scout movement said
Scout Executive Hoyt.
Mr. Head will leave soon to at
tend the national council meeting to
be held at the Commodore hotel,
New York City, March 24 and will

Heard at the Auto Show
The stripped model of the Ruick
Six is attracting unlimited atten
tion at the automobile show. An
added refinement to the car is a metal
covering for the motor to prevent
the gathering of dust and grit. The
Buick chasis is mounted on stands
with the vital parts of the motor and
and transmission in full view of the
spectator. Body designs of the
Huick possess an addition of refine
ments in the way of upholstery and
durable construction.
Both the open and the closed
Scripps-Booth models displayed at
the Automobile show are built with
an eye to beauty as well as utility.
The bodies of these models follow
the lines of much more expensive
cars, having a long, straight, stream
line effect.
The six-cylinder models are
mounted on a chassis equipped with
a light but powerful valvc-in-head
motor, developing more than 40
horse power.

DEATHS DAILY
I PETROORAD
NUMBER 4,000
Human Flesh . Is Sold
to
Starving Population in
Russia by Chinese
Soldiers.
Washington. March 11. Chaotic
conditions in Russia, particularly in
Petrograd and Moscow, were de
scribed in reports received today by
the State department. The depths
to which the country had been
plunged by bolshevik rule was said
by the advices to be indicated in a
report from Moscow saying that
human flesh had been sold to the
famine-stricken population by some
Chinese soldiers who later were ar
rested. Both Moscow and Petrograd
were reported without fuel of any
kind. The supplies of coal, kero
sene and gasoline have been ex
hausted and since wood was nation
alized in September, it has not been
available for private consumption.
Because of lack of fuel, the advices
said the sewage and water systems
of Petrograd might cease operation
at any time.
The streets of Petrograd were
described as deserted with the ex
ception of soldiers and civilians beg
ging for bread. The deaths in the
city, chiefly from typhoid and small
pox, were estimated at 4,000 daily.
The Swiss, Danish, Swedish, Dutch
and British embassies were said to
have been looted.
Conditions in Moscow were repre
sented as better than in Petrograd
although all industries in the former
city except a few military plants
have ceased to operate. The only
food available is brought to Moscow
by peasants, who sell it at great
prices, sugar bringing 20 rubles a
pound, which at the old value of the
ruble would be $10. dog meat sells
at seven and horse flesh at 21 rubles
a pound.
Many of the stores in Moscow
have been closed and those remain
ing open are permitted to sell mer
chandise and foodstuffs only on the
card system.
Celebration of mass in the church
es has for the most part ceased.
Traction and electric light services
are irregular, electricity being avail
able for lighting purposes only two
hours each dav.
Social Democrats Strongest
Party in Finnish Landtag
Washiugton, March 11. The so
cialists won the largest number of
seats in the 'Finnish landtag in the
recent election. Swedish press re
ports received today by the State
department give the results as fol
lows: Socialists, SO; Finnish republicans,
(evenly divided between young
Finns and agrarians) 70; Finnish
monarchists, 22; Swedes (including
three republicans), 22.
On this basis the social demo
cras are the strongest party in the
landtag, holding about 80 seats out
of a total of 200, followed by the
agrarians with a membership of 35.
Sixteen-Year-Old Mother
of Babe, 6 Months, Is Dead
Shenandoah, la., March 11.
(Special.) Mrs. Mabel Cloyd
Martin, 16-year-old mother of a
6 months' babe, died Monday of
influenza at the home of her
father, Alex Cloyd. The child
wife and mother was ill but a
.short while. Her mother, vic
tim of the same disease, was
buried Monday and her husband
is m a critical condition. Five
other members of the stricken
family are ill.
. Mrs. Cloyd was seized with an
attack of the "flu" last week.
Her condition promised recov
ery, but when the girt was told
of her mother's death, and one
by one other members of the
household were forced to retire
to their beds, the burden was
more than equal to her failing
strength.
shown at the Omaha automobile
show, it has undergone, vigorous
tests and is ready for manufacture.
It will be built by the Cleveland
Automobile company, affiliated with
the Chandler Motor Car company.
It is very probable that the new
Cleveland will be marketed largely
through the present Chandler dis
tributors. Although the Saxon Motor Car
corporation, in common with the
rest of the automobile manufactur
ers, has no new models on exhibi
tion at the show, visitors at the ex
hibit have been particularly attract
ed to the Saxon display this week
by the innovations to be seen on
the Saxon cars, which are new.
Several refinements have been added
to the Saxon which make for com
fort and riding convenience. These
have been put on without any os
tentation and without any particular
announcement. Gypsy side curtains
are added to the top and a plate
glass window is in the rear. The
gasoline tank is removed from the
cowl to the rear, with an attachment
of a Stewart vacuum feed system.
For the man who' wants a car
primarily for his own use, the Olds
mobile Six roadster is the logical
answer. As shown in the Oldsmo
bile exhibit in the Annex of the
Auditorium, it is light, sturdy,
powerful a car to be depended up
on under all circumstances. It is
handsome, compact, businesslike,
well-balanced and comfortable a car
that insures keen enjoyment. It is
economical in the extreme.
J. R. Van Cleve service manager
for the Dort Motor company of
Flint, Mich., is in Omaha for the
entire week of the Auto Show. Mr.
Van Cleve has attended all the big
shows throughout the country, in
cluding the New York and Chicago
shows, and his opinion is that the
decorations of the Omaha show are
surpassed by none.

WORLDLY WISE
YOUTH TAKEN
AGAIN BY POLICE
Eddie Toman, Arrested on
Charge of Incorrigibility,
Plays Old-Timer at
Station.
Worldly wise far beyond his years,
Eddie Toman, alias Harry Young,
16, was arrested for incorrigibility
last night after eluding police and
juvenile authorities for several days.
He was taken with six other youths
who were engaged in a "free-for-all"
at Sixteenth and Cass streets.
Eddie assumed a sang froid air
when he entered the police station
which would have done credit to a
foreign count.
"Yu got me at last, haven't yu?"
he growled, casting a disdainful
glance at a detective standing near
by. "It was an accident though,
wasn't it? S'pose your goin' tu send
me back to Kearney. I'd sooner go
to the pen this time. Looks like a
fellow ought tu have a little choice
where he goes after being at the re
form school twice."
Eddie was nearly arrested yester
day while attempting to steal bread
from a bakery wagon at Seventeenth
and Webster streets. Detectives
Rich and Anderson seized him, but
he spun such a realistic "sob" story,
and shed such realistic tears that
he was released.
According to the police, Eddie
was on parole from the reform
school. At request of his relatives
he is to be sent back.
He told police he was living with
his uncle until a few days ago.
"Yu see, he to'd me as long as 1
paid my board I could stay." ex
plained the youth. "When it wm
lime to pay I left without giving
him a chance to kick me out."
He gave a fictitious address as
well as name when arrested, but
according to police his relatives
live at 1408 Chicago street.

You know that pine is used in
nearly all prescriptions and remedies
for coughs. The reason ia that pine
contains several peculiar elements that
have a remarkable effect iit soothing
and healing the membranes of tUo
throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine ana syrup. The "syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine couch remedy
that money can buy, put 2'j ounces
of Pines in a pint "bottle, and fill up
with home-made sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey, or
corn eyrup, instead of sufrnr e'yruD.
Either way, you makea full pint .aore
than you can buy ready-made for three
times the money. It is pure, good
and very pleasant children like it.
You can feel this take hold of &
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tiaht, or may te persist
ently loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the sanuin
named membranes and .this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in 24 hours or less. Splendid',
too, for bronchial asthma, .hoarseness,
ap a.tiv ftrdinnrv -throat ailment..
Pinex is a highly concentrated com-1
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and ia famous the world over for its
prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2Vj ounces of Pihex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to (rive abso
