HEAR SKIP-STOP
CASE ON APRIL 9
Company Shows That Plan
Saved $80,000 SinceLast

From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, April 3. The Nebraska
Kailway commission, which on
March 24 ordered the Omaha and
Council Bluffs Street Railway com
pany to discontinue its skip-stop
system at the close of the authorized
emergency period fixed by the com
mission for April 13, has called a-
hearing on the question in Omaha
April 9, following a formal applica
tion from the company to continue
the system, filed Thursday.
The company makes a showing
that the plan since its operation last
October had saved $80,000, of which
$20,000 was in fuel; that the com
pany from August, 1918, to February,-
1919, had incurred a deficit of
85,376.71, and that the system saved
6 to 8 minutes running time for the
public each trip over its lines.
"This financial showing, v which
the company has made before and
which is now before the Nebraska
supreme court on appeal from the
commission, will not be considered
at the present hearing, which will
concern only service and conven
ience," says Chairman Tom Hall of
the commission.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don t.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash It out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis-

of ordinary liquid arvon ; apply it at

moisten the scalp and rub it in gent

By mornings most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will

French War Brides to Teach
Yanks Use of Cheap Meats
Mrs. Downing, Brought to Omaha by Arrangement With
Bee, Tells Women's Club Meet How to Make Proper
Use of Lower Graded Meat Cuts.
French war brides brought home
by American doughboys will teach
the American housewives many se
crets of cookery, according to Mrs.
Helen Harrington Downing, food
expert of Armour & Co., who ad
dressed the Second district meeting
of the Nebraska Federation of
Women's clubs yesterday afternoon
by arrangement with The Bee.
"The French housewife knows
how to be thrifty. She can cook the
inexpensive parts of beef to taste
just as good as the higher-priced
cuts."
Use Cheap Meats, Urged.
The use of heart, lungs, liver and
brains and the other extra meat
portions, which are cheaper and
plentiful, on account of the ship
ment for army consumption over
seas of the other cuts of meat, is ad
vocated by Mrs. Downing. She dis
tributed recipes telling how to cook
them.
The need for continued foor con
servation is a point emphasized by
the food expert. "America still has
the task of feeding starving Europe,
and food-saving is more necessary
than ever before," she said.
Dollar Stretching Taught.
How to cut the cost of living by
using business methods in the home,
how a dollar can be stretched to the
limit without stinting the menus and
making men yearn for the extrava
gances of yester-year and the easy
use of food substitutes is included
in knowledge imparted by Mrs.
Downing.
"Always insist on government-inspected
meat," Mrs. Downing urged
the Club women. "The government
spends more than $6,000,000 annual
ly in meat inspection for your pro
tection. Take advantage of it."
The Second district meeting, at
tended by over 200 club women,
opened its annual session in Grace
Methodist church yesterday morning
Mrs. E. P. Boyer of Papillion, vice
president, presided in the absence
of Mrs. William Berry, chairman,
who is ill.
NEW REPORT IS
MADE ON FOREIGN
LANGUAGE BILL
Revised Draft Tends to Let
Down Bars on Parochial
Schools for Religious
Instruction.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, April 3. The majority
of the conference committee in
charge of the measure reversed it
self Thursday morning, on the re
port on S. F. 24, the Siman foreign
language bill, and a new report was
framed which five of the six con
ferees signed.
The revised draft cuts out of the
bill the word "secular," which was
put in by four members of the joint
committee Wednesday and which
had the effect of letting down the
bars for parochial schools to give
catechism and other religious in
struction in a foreign tongue. It
changes the wording slightly as to
other provisions, making it clear
that above the eighth grade foreign
languages may be taught as lan
guages, but not used as a medium
of instruction for other subjects.
Senators Reed, Cordeal and Si
man and Representatives Gerhart
and Byrum ratified the bill in this
form by signing the majority report.
Mr. Reynolds alone held out for a
further revision. He prepared a
minority report proposing an addi
tion to the majority draft, so that
church schools held on Saturdays
or after the regular school hours on
other days, would not be forbidden
to teach in foreign tongues.
It was believed that both branches
would adopt the majority report.

orders on official business and was
compelled to cancel his engagement

session of the Nebraska legislature.
