;ew York, June 18. "I think any
body who has any control over a
young woman is doing very wrong
to- let her go to France and enter
tain soldiers, dance with them, and
so on. Human nature is the same
on the Marne as on Broadway.

or something like that, who gave
vent to her opinions in New York
on the eve of her 60th trip, to

follows:
-Ain't it the truth? Think how
niuch better a man you would be
today if you had been let alone
with your innocent imaginings and
your boulevard mademoiselles and
all that. But instead you were lured
away to some lowly canteen by a
siren girl worker to satiate your
dissipated appetite with roast beef
and potatoes, and maybe you actual
ly indulged in vicious conversation,
asking her whether she ever met
Sadie Smith the time she went to
Cedar Rapids, la., because Sadie is
your girl. And then you may have
sunk to such depths of depravity as
to show her Sadie's picture, and
this scarlet vampire of a canteen
worker actually admitted that she
looked real nice.
Or it's possible that you forgot
home and mother long enough to
go to one of their awful entertain
ments. There you heard an Ameri
can girl sing 'American songs and
accompany herself on an American
piano. You were so glad to see her
that you could have kissed her,
which shows how damnably dan
gerous she was. But in the cold,
gray dawn of the morning after you

Weather.
Sale is the Result of a Big
Purchase Made Late
Last Summer.
The mdst remarkable sale of
Porch Rockers held in Omaha
this season takes place next Sat
urday at the Union Outfitting
Company.
The event results from a large
order for Maple Rockers which a
buyer of the firm placed with a
prominent New Hampshire Chair
manufacturer late last summer
at considerably below the prices
such high grade rockers are sell
ing for today at wholesale.
There are a number of models
to select from all with rigid, full
maple post construction, wide
arms and comfortable, double
cane seat and back, or slat back.
The savings are convincing
evidence of the ever-growing pur

of the High Rent District, where,
as always, you make your own

PROHIBITION IS
MADE DRASTIC BY
ACTION OF HOUSE
Sentiment of Judiciary Com
mittee Generally Opposed
Exempting Beer and Wines
From Wartime Act.
(By Universal Service.)
Washington, June 18. The Unit
ed States will be bone dry after July
1, following the action yesterday of
the house judiciary committee in de
feating a motion by Representative
Igoe, democrat of Missouri, to ex
empt light wines and beer from the
provisions of the war. time prohibi
tion enforcement act, by a vote of
10 to 3.
Those who voted with Mr. Tgoe
were Representative Gard, democrat,
of Ohio, and Representative Classon,
republican, of Wisconsin.
Representative Steels, democrat,
of Pennsylvania, was prepared to
vote for the Igoe motion, but was
absent from the room when the
vote was taken. He succeeded later,
however, in having his name record
ed in favor of the motion.
Ten Favored Exemption.
Only one other member of the
committee is known to have been
in favor of the repeal movement.
He is , Representative Dyer, rep
ublican, of Missouri, who was ab
sent. Seven other members of the
committee were absent.
They were: Representatives Gra
ham, of Pennsylvania; Reavis, of
Nebraska and Husted, New York,
republicans, and Thomas, Ken
tucky; Whaley, South Carolina, and
Neeley, West Virginia, democrats
Members voting against the re
peal were:
r . . ri. J ti
jxcyrcseruauves v oisicau, .Minne
sota; chairman; Morgan, Okla
homa; Walsh, Massachusetts; Cur
rie, Michigan; Boies, Iowa; Chris
topherson, South Dakota; Yates,
Illinois; and Goodykoontz, West
Virginia, republicans, and Represen
tatives Webb, North Carolina, and
Caraway, Arkansas, democrats,
of being used as a beverage."
Following defeat of the motion,
the committee proceeded with the
drafting of the bill creating ma
chinery for the enforcement of war
time and constitutional prohibition.
The committee's decision on the in
terpretation of the term "intoxicat
ing liquors" is the most drastie yet
written on the statute books of the
United States. It follows:
'That the word 'liquor' or thci
prrase intoxicating liquor used ir.
this act shail be construed to in
clude alcohol, brandy, whisky, ruin,
gin, beer, ale, port and wine, and in
addition thereto, any spirituous or
vinous, malt or fermentel liquor,
liquids and compounds, whether
medicated, prqpriteary, patented or
not, and by whatever name called,
containing one-half of one per
centum or more of alcohol by vol
ume, which are potable or capable
of being used a a berage."
A motion to separate war-time
ana constitutional prohibition en
forcement bills was lost on a tie
vote, 8 to 8. Representative Walsh,
who made the motion insisted that
congress wou'd be placed in a
ridiculous position if it passed this
omnibus bill and the president
within a month or six weeks should
rescind war-tin'e prohibition of b;er
and, wine.
Mr. Walsh asserted further that
the effect of the omnibus bill would
be to continutt'war time prohibition
of beer and wine even after the
president has acted unless congress
could be brought to consider the
repeal and amendment of part of
the enforcement act.
The enforcement bill will be re
ported before the end of the present
week, accoring to the present plans
of the committee. Its considera
tion in the house will be asked
early next week.
Charge Medical Body
With Framings Laws
to Eliminate Fellows
New York, June 18. The Amer
ican Medical association was
charged with trying "to frame laws
to eliminate the other 200,000 phy
sicians and surgeons of which it
does not approve," in the address 'of
Dr. Ignatz Mayer, of Detroit, pres
ident of trie Allied Medical asso
ciation, at its annual convention
here.
"Our association has gone on rec
ord as being opposed to low stand
ard medical schools and diploma
mills and will not admit into mem
bership those who are not qualified
to practice," Dr. Mayer said, "but it
sees no reason to exclude osteopaths
or drugless physicians who have re
ceived a .thorough medical training
covering a period of several years."
Dr. Mayer was re-elected presi
dent. Dr. L. M. Ottofy, St. Louis,
was re-elected for the eighth time
secretary-treasurer.
Prays for Buyer for Farm;
Wrong Man Came; Files Suit
Chehalis, Wash., June 18. "One
night I prayed to God to send a
buyer for the farm," says Mrs.
Dorothy Ann Mawson, in her suit
here against F. T. Hamshaw and
others, to set aside transfer of land.
"Then Hamshaw came next day and
I sold him the farm for $1 and some
shares of . stock in a tractor com
pany." Mrs. Mawson says she now knows
that "God didn't send Hamshaw"
and asks that the land be returned
to her. She claims the tractor stock
is valueless.
"Stench Mystery" Is Solved

The "stench mystery" which has

covered a rendering works at Ninth

Investigation was started after a

My Heart and My Husband
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
What Rita Brown Did to End the
"Party."
A "Look here. Dicky Graham," Rita
Brown shrilled loudly. "Cut that
high-and-mighty pose right now.
Where do you get off withit any
way? Nobody ever heard of your
being shocked at anything, no mat
ter now low. That's your rep, my
lad, so don't try any dodges like
this on me, just because your wife's
with you. As for Leila "
Leila Fairfax seemed to shrink
into her chair, while, a gray pallor
crept over her face.
,"Oh, Rita, don't!" she breathed. I
guessed that though the Fairfax
girls had been thrown much with
Miss Brown, this was the first time
the gentle southern girl had seen
the other woman with the veneer
stripped from the very common
wood of her personality.
"Don't get excited, dearie,"
Dicky advised lazily, in quite his
former, manner, although I had seen
his lips set in a thin line at Miss
Brown's reference to me. "If you
behave, we'll let you stay a while
longer, but if you turn that calliope
whistl on again, we'll mosey out of
here, pronto. I'm a quiet, law-abiding
pusson, and I don't hanker after
no bouncer coming this way and
requesting us to get out. I'd rather
beat him to it."
I caught my breath in terrified
amazement. I couldn't understand
Dirky at all. He must have seen
as had the rest of us that Rita
Brown's temper was decidedly af
fected by what she had taken, and
that soothing words instead of ag
gravating ones were necessary if
we" were to avoid an exhibition of
her rage. Yet he was going out of
his way to tease her.
"Dicky," I whispered, "don't
tease her."
I , thought no one could possibly
hear the words, but Rita Brown's
ears must have been preternaturally
sharpened. She turned her eyes on
me for a second with an expression
of contempt that relegated me to
the nethermost point of her horizon.
"Don't .worry about me," she said,
her tone icy, in spite of the. fact
thac her lips were visibly trembling
with rage. "Keep your sympathy
for your husband. He's going to
nctd it in another minute."
She turned on Dicky with eyes
a:nl cheeks fairly aflame with rage.
"You you!" she choked, and then
before anyone guessed what she
meant to do, she picked up the glass
the waiter had just brought, and
tl.tew glass and contents at Dicky's
face.
With almost incredible quickness
to my excited observation it seemed
almost as if he had expected her
to do exactly that very thing he
threw up his hand, and struck at the
glass, so that it fell to the table in
front of him, shattering it against
a plate, and spattering the liquor
over the cloth, but luckily resulting
in no injury to anyone.
Alfred Durkee looked quickly
around, his . face drained of every
vestige of color. I know what pride
of appearance is hidden underneath
his volatile good-nature, was sure
that he was suffering an agony of
humiliation that the mother whom
he idolized should be involved in so
tawdry a scene. Fortunately, how
ever, the crashing music of the jazz
orchestra had effectively drowned
both Rita's raucous voice and the
crash of the glass. But his expres
sion when he turned back and
looked at her was as set and stern
as if a whole regiment of officials
were advancing toward our table.
"Let's get out of this," he said,
signalling to a waiter. "Check!" lie
commanded briefly when the man
had come, and then he looked ap
pealingly at his mother.
"Sorry to hurry you, mother,
dear," he said and there was a choke
in his voice, an expression in his
eyes that read the funeral service
over any fancy he may have had for
the girl who had just outraged all
canons of decent drecding.
"Oh, I'm quite ready to go!" lit
tle Mrs. Durkee rejoined with a
brave assumption of casualness, and
in a few moments more we were out
in the air and rushing homeward.
Rita Brown had uttered no word
since the glass had left her hand.
Palpably subdued she preceded s
out of the cafe, punctiliously guided
by Alfred Durkee, who, after that
first withering look, paid her the
same outward attention that he had
give her on the trip over.
But my heart beat fast with the
hope that any povyer she might have
had over him was gone.

Negro In Winter Suit
Steals a Palm Beach;
Says He Was Hungry
Kansas City, Mo., June 18. A
Palm Beach suit, on a dummy in
front of the store of A. Weine.
caused the downfall of Houston
Williams, a negro.
"Here Ah am, with last winter's
suit, and dat dummy with a Pa'm
Beach cooler ' mused Houston, the
thermometer registering 90 in the
fhade. So he put the dummy un
der his arm, and began making
quick time down the street.
"Buck" Stephenson, former "cop,"
who now operates a clothes clean
ing shop, just across the street from
the store where the dummy was,
sfiw the peiformance, started i:i
pursuit and caught the negro.
In south municipal court, Judge
Fleming asked Williams:
"Why did you take that- suit?"
"I wux hiugry, jedge," replied
Williams.
"Could you eat a Palm Beach
suit?" queried the judge. Williams
l.?d no reply, so "hizonnor" said.
