1 NO EXCUSE FOR A GENERAL STRIKE.
It is difficult to see how the threat made by
the committee of the Central Labor Union wait
ing upon the mayor that they will involve
Omaha in a general strike if settlement of the
' demands of the teamsters are jiot satisfactorily
settled within a specified time limit can be
countenanced, much less supported, by the
steady sober-minded wage workers of this city.'
No such committee has authority to order
all the unions to strike or to vote on the ques
tion of striking. But if it did have the author
ity there is no condition here to warrant the
other unions making the demands of the team
sters their own.
The great body of Omaha wage workers
have no special grievances they cannot adjust
with their employers and they have every in
i terestsof themselves and their families to sub-
serve by keeping business and industry regu
i larly going and maintaining uninterrupted eni
j ployment. The rank and file of organized labor
j in Omaha has usually been level-headed and re
I fused to be stampeded even when a few of their
leaders lose their heads. We feel sure
these men will show that they think and act
for themselves should any attempt be made to
carry out this unralled-for and ill-advised gen
eral strike threat.
Yes, but what posy did Kink Albert throw

Revised version for autoists: Better go slow

The Huns complain that this is their "dark

In the language of the American Federation

"Mexico Spurns League." Never, says Gen
eral Aguilar, will she consent to join it. "No

" 'tobks as if the district court had "passed
the buck" to the supreme court in deciding the
validity of the foreign language law.
"Cast your bread upon the waters; and it
shall return to you after many days." The Bee's
'Free Milk and Ice Fund offers an opportunity
to do this.
' Have the Germans, in the fall of the Ebert
Sche'idemann government, merely "retired to
posifRns previously prepared," as they used to
say in the dear old days?
You have to go away from home to hear

If the Pennsylvania legislature passes that
''bill allowing tenants to appeal to the court
when they believe their rents are raised un
reasonably, there will be the busiest time the

Nebraska druggists have gone on record
against the administrative code bill because
they believe it fixes the fee for examination for
druggists' licenses too high. That's a good
reason for druggists.
Red Cross Geneva Conference
- At request of the Red Cross societies of the
United States. France. Great Britain, Italy and
Japan, an international conference of the Ked
Cross organizations of the world has been
called to meet at Geneva 30 days after the
declaration of peace. The international com
mittee has formulated plans for the considera
tion of the conference which includes a world
wide co-ordination of Red Cross activities in
keeping with the spirit of the limes. The world's
leading experts in public health, tuberculosis
hygiene and sanitation and child welfare will be
invited, so that all experience and all knowledge
of peculiar and crying needs may be consid
ered in the formulation of programs to be sub
muted to the Red Cross society of each nation
as helpful suggestions. The maintenance' of s
permanent working organization at Geneva tr
study and report conditions and experiences
within the scope of the work of the societies, is
another suggestion,
j The commute says: "The conception inv-A-es
not merely efforts to relieve human suffering but
to prevent it; not alone the sufferings of one
. people but an attempt to arouse all peoples to
sense of their responsibility for the welfare of
their fellow beings throughout the world. In
brief, the f plan contemplates the formation of
what will ' be. in effect, an association in the
interest of all humanity. It is a program both
- ideal and practical; ideal in that its supreme
aim is humanity; practical in that it seeks means
and -measures to meet the tragic crises which
are daily recurrent in the live of all mankind."
' The Red Cross society is tenderly regarded
around the world, not for the ideals it has
preached or for-its "attempts to arouse their
, fellow beings." but for the ideals that it has
fracticed in meeting the great tragic crises,
t is these practices that have made the Red
Cross what it is and have brought support from
all sorts and conditions of people, everywhere.
There is a possibility only faint, perhaps that
too much stress may be laid on the spreading
of opinions instead of the extension of relief.
It is a tendency that a large and successful "as
sociation in the interest of all humanity" should
carefully guard against St Louis Globe
Democra .
Is It To Be a Riot of Fashion?
If coming events , cast their shadows before,
this question, ' Is it to be a riot of fashion?"
must be pertinent and timely. From Taris,
acknowledged fountain-head of latest styles in
dress, come warnings of "the audacity of fash-
ion", now being perpetrated there. To quote
from a reliable authority on woman's correct
apparel, writing on the spot:
Feminine Paris is dressing in its. finest
feathers. Wherever one goes, the Bois, the
theater, the races, the restaurants, or private
parties, dress is in the height of fashion, and
fashion is"" losing her head. No extravagance
is too great for her, no indiscretion too dar
ing. She vaunts her short skirts, her sleeve
less dresses, her decollete bodices with 'a
smile that has something reckless in it. She
even bares her legs and scarcely covers her
toes in shoes that look utterly absurd with
toe-caps, ankle-straps, and heels that are
three and four inches l(igh. Dresses are worn
in the daytime, at public functions, which
would have been censured by Queen Vic
toria at court, and the apparel .of a ballet
dancer is modest in comparison with the
chemise dresses that depend for their fasten
ing on one button on the shoulder, or on one
hook at the waist, on a skirt that is slit from
ankle to hip on both sides, or has a cross
over open front.
vDoes this uot indicate that the fashion pen
dulum is beginning to swing to the opposite ex
treme from where it pointed a little, while ago
when everything was sombre and sad? War
time brought out widows' weeds and patriotic
self-sacrifice led to wearing made-over gar
ments. The gay and the gaudy and the ornate
gave way to the simple, unostentatious gowns
and accompaniments. But the ending of war.
1 which has taken off restrictions upon foods and
I amusements and motor cars and yachts nat
! urally opens the way to license in feminine
j dress and the depleted supply of males stim
j ulates keener competition to attract. M fashion,
I is already "losing her head" in Paris, must if
j not be only a forerunner of the fast approach
i ing time when these fads and foibles will cross
1 the ocean and begin to display their vagaries
I here?
Continuous Ice Supply a Health Measure.
The points made in the article in our
Health Hint column today, discussing the ques
tion of the daily ice supply in the summer time
from the standpoint of, health and sanitation-,
should be hammered down. The writer, who
speaks with the knowledge of a trained medical
man, emphasizes the absolute necessity in our
climate of proper refrigeration of perishable
foods every day of the week, including Sun
days, and the clanger of ice-boxes of limited ca
pacity running out and the foods stored in
them having to be thrown away because spoiled,
or if by chance eaten, producing sickness.
- While in the winter time it may be, easy to
tide over a day or two without a fresh supply
of ice. in the heated season most households
have to have their refrigerators replenished
oftener than once in 48 hours, especially if they
use any of the ice for other purposes. Keeping
the refrigerator in ice on Sunday as well as
other dgys in 'summer time, therefore, is above
all a matter of health and sanitation, and a
situation is presented by the interruption of
service which the health department should take
in hand as an emergency and refuse to let the
city council experiment with through fool
ordinances forbidding Sunday sale or delivery.
Especially in Omaha, maintaining . a municipal
ice plant, it would not be out pf order for the
head of the' health department to insist on the
city ice stations being open for business during,
certain "hours on Sunday through the summer
' months so people may have, the necessary con
1 tinuqus supply of ice for household purposes.
' Where there's a will and some one to execute
it, there's a way.
The fact that the trans-Atlantic flight was
1 undertaken to pull down a $50,000 prize put up
, by the London Mail served as a reminder that
a Chicago newspaper once upon a time spent
even more money than that to promote a bal
loon expedition to the North Pole. The balloon
venture failed because of adverse weather con
ditions, but it is quite within the realm of prob
, abilities that the airplane will do that job at a
' not distant -day. .

Views and Reviews !
Fifty Yeats for Two Great and
Growing Universities
Attention is drawn by the publication of a
"Semi-centennial Anniversary Book" to the fact
that, the University of Nebraska jfgnalized by
its last "commencement" the completion of 50
years since its founding. The anniversary book,
it is explained by Miss Louise Pound, who com
piled and edited it, is made up of articles hastily
prepared with some overlapping of material,
but intended to give a fair reflex of the progress
of the university during its first half-century
period. As usual in such cases a great dea!
more space is devoted to the beginnings and
more emphasis placed upon the pioneers of the
different activities than upon, what has come
later.
There is no dubt of course that our state
university has grown far and away beyond the
wildest dreams or fondest expectation of those
who laid the foundations. The truth is, if we
are frank enough to admit it; the university was
scarcely more than a4iigh school or academy
during the first 20 jxars of its existence,
necessarily so because there was neither the
student nor the faculty material to make possi
ble anything more pretentious. From the early
'90s, however, it began to come to itself
and gradually to reach out and cover the field
that properly belongs to higher education.
Today it is again in a transition state through
the process of rebuilding, which will doubtless
be accompanied or followed by further re-organization
and expansion. The University of
Nebraska is young, even among American uni
versities, and our state, although it has always
taken great pride in its high rank for small
illiteracy, will constantly set greater store upon
education and special training for its future
citizens.

The anniversary book includes personal
sketches of past chancellors, beginning with
Chancellor Benton, and going down a list of
Fsirfield, Manatt, Canfield and Andrews, but
has only incidental reference to Chancellor Mc
Lean, and to the present head, Chancellor
Avery. I take it that the sketches are inserted
on the theory that they are a combination of
eulogy and obituary, and that these two are left
out because they are still alive, but they really
belong to the first half-century as much as do
the others. Dr. Canfield was 'chancellor when
I first came in touch with the university, and a
busy, bustling, pushing man he was. He was
an organizer, but also, as I used to tell him, a
sort of educational drummer. He went up anil
down the state to let the people know what kind
of an institution he was in charge of and what
he was trying to do with" it and traveled so fast
he got ahead of the chariot. He went from Ne
braska to Ohio State university, and then to
Columbia, where he served as librarian until he
died. The next chancellor. George E. MacLean,
had s been but briefly installed when I was ap
pointed to a short term on the board of regents.
Dr. MacLean was a polished gentleman of the
old school, not so rough and ready as his
predecessor, but smooth and diplomatic, in fact,
I thought sometimes, too diplomatic in avoid
ing responsibilities that he could conveniently
get away from. He nevertheless unquestionably
raised the educational standard of the teaching
and made' a real contribution in divesting the
university of some of its grammar grade and
high school appendages. Chancellor MacLean
was at last accounts living 'in retirement in
Brooklyn.
It is vvort(i noting that at the same time that
the University of Nebraska was celebrating its
semi-centennial, so likewise was Cornell univer
sity, which is also a land grant institution that
was started out just 50 years ago. Its founder,
Ezra Cornell, as well as Sage, who was asso
ciated with him, helped swell the fortune which
helped to endow Cornell1 through the enterprise
of building up the Pacific telegraph, in which
tltey were engaged in conjunction with Edward
Creighton, who, as we know, also made im
portant bequests to promote higher education
in the university founded as his memorial here
in Omaha. Cornell is almost a state university
for the state of New York, beautifully laid out
on the plateau overlooking Cayuga lake, an
ideal spot for such a school. If Cornell has
reached the very highest rank in its 50 years
much of the credit must be given the exceptional
succession of men who have been at the direct
ing helm, first Andrew D. White, then Charles
Kendall Adams, who later went to Tie Univer
sity of Wisconsin, and for the last half of the
period, Jacob Gquld Schurman, who must now
be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in point
of tenure, of our American university heads.
Cornell has a large company of influential al
umni hereabouts, who are rightfully proud of
their alma mater.
When Railroading Was Young
As a historic addition to much present con
versation about railroad management, somebody
lias unearthed a list of instructions to conduc
tors, trainmen, enginemen, and station masters
in the days when American locomotives burned
wood ana were going very fast indeed at twenty
miles'an hour. Engineers were then forbidden
to make up lost time. If the train got behind its
schedule the order was to "let all the time of
delay or detention be added to the running
time." When a train was a full hour late the
stationatnaster was directed to "start on horse
back to learn the cause of the delay." The head
brakeman in that day of hand brakes carried a
whistle which he blew when he wished to notify
the engineer to stop the train; and conductors
were ordered "as much as they can consistently
with the duty of taking tickets, to keep a look
out for dangers and difficulties upon the. road,
in all directions, seeing that no objects project
into the road at any pointand when discovered
'ave them removed." Christian Science Moni-
or.

Sunday f.aws apt! Health.
Our recent experience with tropi
cal heat in connection with the
ordinance forbidding the sale o4 ice
on Sunday brings to the foregone
more and emphasizes how sadly our
lawmaking bodies functionate.
At any time of the year the stor
age of perishable food in the home
is a' subject of much concern to
eVery housekeeper. She knows that
when a food spoils and is inad
vertently eaten (and this may hap
pen because an odor and a had taste
may he absent), very serious results
in the way of sickness may follow,
and even death in a short time. For
the preservation of perishable foods
refrigeration is necessary, and for
this we use ice in households gener
ally. In winter nature is our great
est aid n preventing food stuffs from
spoiling; but in summer we need
ic. and lots of it, the warmer the
weather the more ice we need. It
is a well known fact that few house
holds have ice chests with sufficient
ice capacity to last more than 48
hours in moderately warm weather,
the same being capacity for only 24
hours when the weather is as warm
as we have been experiencing the
last week or more. Such weather is
not the exception in Omaha at this
time of the year, and it is a safe pre
diction that we will have this hih
degree of heat from six to eight
weeks each year.
At such times every housewife
knows that even with an abundance
of ice such articles as milk, soup,
raw meats, ets., are kept fresh with
difficulty and only through eternal
vigilance. Not only is ice a neces
sity for the preservation of food, but'
it is also a most valuable adjunct in
sickness, and in preventing sickness
through the lowering of the body
temperatures by t taking cooling
draughts and palatable cool foods.
The appetite is notably in abeyance
in hot weather, warm food too often
offering no inducement to partake;
so there is danger of undernourish
ment from lack of appropriate food.
This, is particularly the case with
children. To those so affected by the
heat, cool nourishing drinks, and
cooled foods are prone to be at
tractive and even appetizing, to pro
duce which we of course need ice.
In spite of all these cogent rea
sons for-an ample supply of ice.
without forethought as to the inval
uable assistance of ice as a pre
ventative of sickness, and its use in
sickness, our commissioners pass a
law making the sale of ice on Sun
day a misdemeanor. And no move
has been made to modify or repeal
the law, although the emergency is
great. This being the ease, it is
high time to inquire whether there
is not some way by which this stupid
law cannot be nullified, at least dur
ing the hot weather.
Fortunately we have most excel
lent laws defining the powers of
our health commissioner, the official
whose duty it is to prevent disease
through- such measures as he deems
best. These laws give him the wid
est discretionary powers in emer
gencies, permitting him to act inde
pendently of the council, and his
orders undersuch circumstances are
subject to court interpretation only.
If our health commissioner so wills,
he can declare the sale and delivery
of ice on Sundays during summer
an essental for the prevention of
disease and for the promotion of
health of the people, and it is a safe
prediction that no court In the land
will overrule this exercise of benign
arid wise authority. If the commis
sion do not act on their own initia
tive it is up to our health commis
sioner larking action by the latter
official, citizens generally should
protect their health even if they
ignore the ordinance, for the courts
would interpret the law on the ques
tion as to whether a justifiable emer
gency exists, and physicians with
out number would testify in favor
of such an interpretation.

Omaha, June 20. To the Kditor
of the Bee: Tlie press of theiTnited
States often repeats the statement
that there is plenty of gold in this
country, and it leaves you with the
idea that gold does not cut much
figure with the finance of the na
tion. The true answer to this ppint
of view is found in asking the qiis
tion, "What gives England her su
premacy in the financial world?"
Not her navy, her manufacturers,
nor her products, but the fact that
she controls the gold product of the
world, enabling this nation to estab
lish the rates of exchange.

Great Hritain and her colonies
produced in 1916. 65 per cent of the
world's gold; the I'nited States pro
duced 23 per cent of the world's sup
ply of gold. The United States and
its colonies showed a decrease in the
production of gold of 13 per cent,
thus showing that our gold produc
tion is falling off. Immediately after
peace is declared a heavy outflow of
gold will begin. We will be called
upon to return all that has come in
here and more besides. The ques
tion naturally suggests itself. "Where
is this gold to come from?" The
answer is, Our government, unlike
any other government in tjn world,
now races me issue ot now is tnis
increased production to be brought
about. There are two methods:
First: Increase the standard value of
gold to $41. Z-t per ounce, or. Second:
Pay a bonus of $20.00 per ounce.
Few people realize what the pro
duction of gold has done for the
United States. Its wonderful pro
duction of golrT in the west made
possible the building of the first
transcontinental railroad. Gold of
the west saved the credit of the na
tion in 1865 and 1917. Gold has ad
vantage over all other minerals. No
group of mert can control its output
or fix its price.
After the war European nations
will not permit us to retain the large
stock of gold that has been sent here.
They will compete in an endeavor to
rriake their new securities so entic
ing, both as to taxation and rates
of interest, that after the embargo
is released on gold, it will soon flow
into their channels, and we will be
called upon to furnish more gold to
help resuscitate and rebuild he
countries now at war.
The odds are in favrr of the
country that has the gold to keep its
commerce alive during the coming
crisis. In order to protect our na
tion,, we must adopt at once the
slogan "Dig More Gold." Our won-
Lilerfully rich domain in the Black
Hills country and the territory west
of the Rocky mountains and Alaska
is only waiting development; and
when developed it will increase that
production of gold to such an extent
that we can become the bankers of
the world in fact not only in name
as we are today.
An Increased production of gold in
America will go farther toward help
ing any condition that may arise
than any other thing; it will enable
ns to extinguish our national In
debtedness, release the increased
burdens of taxation, furnish employ
ment to the unemployed, stimulate
all forms of industry and bring con-'
tentment and prosperity to the peo
ple of the United states. Let our
slogan be "Dig More Gold."

How to Incrense Weight.
Will you please tell me what I can
do to increase my weight? I am five
feet, five and one-half inches tall and
weigh 118 pounds. Hoping to see
same in your paper soon.
RUTH H.
At that outset I must remind you
that some people are constitutional
ly stout, and some are lean, and that
where this is the case much diffi
culty may be experienced in pro
ducing desired . results. However,
there are few persons who will not
respond in a degree to appropriate
dieting and living. The indications
for you are to eat an abundance of
starchy food, such as potatoes, car
rots, cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc.
Also drink a regular amount of milk
daily, say a quart. Then sweets are
not interdicted, in fact, ice cream,
candy, and desserts, all promote the
laying on of fat'. Get an abundance
of sleep. That is very essential.
Resting one-half to an hour after
meals, if you can do so, will also
promote the laying on of fat. Dis
position is also very imnortant, a
phlegmatic attitude making for a
gain in weight; nervousness, irrita
bility, restlessness, etc., working the
contrary. I take it for granted you
take a moderate amount of exer-
'cise. and indulge in congenial di
versions. If you do not, then get
the habit.
A Woman Ruler in India.
Bhopal, the second greatest Mo
hammedan state in India, has been
ruled over by a woman for several
generations: The present Begum is
the granddauthter and the daughter
of ruling Begums, and she is said to
be in njany respects the . most 're
markable of the three. -Among her
other claims to distinction is the
discarding of the purdah, or veil,
which, among Mohammedan women
especially, is considered the only cor
rect manner of appearing in any
public place. The Begum, more
over, has displayed marked loyalty
to Britifh "rule and was a liberal con
tributor to the cause of the empire
during the late war in Europe.
