Howat, president of district 14,

agreement between the coal miners
and the coal operators of Novem
ber, 1917, which gave the miners an
increase of $1.40 a day, unless
Howat ordered the striking miners

Howat, in answer, wired to Gar

submitted." The miners. Howat
wired, are prepared to light to the
last ditch against the automatic
penalty clause-, which he denounces
as "infamous."

"It is a joy to see these unfor

of being clean," says the report.
"They stay in the bathroom as long
as possible. After being cleaned
up the families are housed in sep

bread, rice and milk. Mattresses
and blankets are also passed out to
them. After a few days rest they
are started toward their homes
along the Albanian border. While
many of these refugees have died of

relief reached them, hundreds have
been saved and conditions which
threatened typhus and smallpox epi

175 Fifth Ae. New York
Lorene Stanley, after an additional
hearing lasting two hours in juvenile
court yesterday morning, -was taken
from her white father and colored
step-mother by order of Juvenile
Judge Troup and will be placed in a
home by the juvenile court author-
ties.
Thev won't take my little girl
while there's any couraction I can
go through to keep her," declared
h.dward Stanley, tne latner. His
attorney said the case would be ap
pealed at once to the higher court's.
We will go all the way to the
supreme court before we will see a
child taken from its own father, who
is giving her the best of care, he
said.
Lorene herself was brought into
th'. crowded court room and ques
tioned by Judge Troup. She is a
sweet child and the juvenile officers
all are "in love" with her.
Girl Does Not Cry.
Lorene twisted the little gold ring
on one finger and dabbed at her
eyes with a tiny handkerchief, but
she did not cry.
"Would you rather stay with your
father or go to' a home that we will
find for you?" asked the judge.
"Rather go to the new home,"
said Lorene.
A court reporter was employed
by the father to take down all the
testimony this morning.
"I sure will taks. it to the higher
court if they don't give me my little
girl here," he said. "I'll spend every
dollar I've got."
Stanley refused to admit that he
was married to the mother of
Lorene.
"She was my housekeeper in El
wood, Kan., for several years," he
said.
Other testimony disclosed a
mixed up maze? of domestic rela
tions. Stanley admitted he was
married once before he married the
present Mrs. Stanley, who is a col
ored woman, but of light hue.
Married in 1917.
"But that woman's been dead IS
years," he said. Next he lived with
the woman in Elmwood, Kan., who,
according to letters from there was
known as Mrs. Stanley, and trey had
three children of whom Lorene is
the youngest. He came to Omaha
and met the present wife, said to be
part colored in blood. Thev were
married in Council Bluffs, October
23, 1917.
The present Mrs. Stanley had been
married to Samuel P. Walton, al
leged to be a colored man. He was
in court and testified that he is of
colored blood. Mrs. Stanley said
he had told her he was Mexican.
She said she herself is not colored
but French-Irish.
At present there is a suit pending
in district court by Walton against
Stanley for alienation of the former
Mrs. Wralton s (the present Mrs.
Stanley's) affections.
Live on County Road.
The Stanleys live at 6614 County
road . Slanley said lie is making $4
a day as an automobile mechanic. He
is 46 years old. Little Lorene when
brought into the court room today
took no notice of either her father
or her stepmother though she was
seated next to them.
Judge Troup took the child from
the parents on the ground that she
is neglected.
"She has been well clothed, fed
and sent to school," he said. "But
neglect may consist of not having
the proper environment to give her
the chance to grow up as nature in
tended she should."
A half grown son of Mrs. Stanley
by'her former marriage also was
part of the family when Lorene was
taken away. 1 he boy is colored.
Ararat a Republic.
The appeal made by the newly
established republic of Ararat for
recognition by the United States will
be better understood, at least geo
giaphically, when it is explained
that the region in question is a pro
vince of Armenia.
It takes its name from the moun-

Fit the Foot,

' No person can do a full day's
work satisfactory to himself, nor
in comfort, if he is wearing a pair
of ill-fitting shoes.
In the Douglas Shoe Store you
will find fitters experienced in the
science of fitting shoes giving'foot
comfort. They will tell you at
once why you have foot trouble,
and why it is necessary for you
to wear the shoe placed upon your feet. They perhaps
spend more time in fitting y&u with shoes, but wherr
you leave the store you realize you have been fitted
with a shoe possessing fit.style and comfort.
Don't continue to neglect your feet for another
day. The longer, you keep putting it off, the longer
you will suffer, and the harder will be the foot dorrec
tion. '

tain on which the ark made a land
ing after the flood Ararat, mean
inb Noah's mountain.
The whole world, according to
the Bible story, was submerged dur
ing the period of the deluge and
Ararat's topmost peak was the first
dry land to appear above the water,
for the simple reason that it was the
loftiest in Armenia, at all events.
As viewed today it gives a notion
of the depths of the flood, inasmuch
as the peak is more than three miles
above sea level. It is dome shaped
and its slopes for 9,000 feet from the
top are covered with everlasting
snow and great fields of glittering
ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah and his
family and all the animals disem
barked from the Ark. As for ascent
to the top, it was formerly believed
to be impossible. Boston Herald.

f What Color of a
Tune Do You Like?
Perhaps you don't realize there are pink
pieces of music, blue melodies, red
sonatas: and rainbow symphonies."
Those who know best about music
say so.
You see color crops out everywhere.
For instance, when Goodrich
brought forth Black Tread rubber,
the color caught; and soon a lot of
tires were skmro; the black song
in treads.
, Of course quality, not color, makes
Goodrich treaas outwear others.
The distinctive coloring of Silvertown
Cord Tires, and their graceful model
ing make them much sought by
motorists to dress smart cars.
But Goodrich would make them ugly
as an old shoe, if ugliness would add
another mile' to their durability.
