We Are Demonstrating
The Voss Triple
Tub Washer
The Most Complete Washing Machine Known
PRACTICAL demonstrations are being made daily at our
store, showing every working feature of this most re
markable of washing machines. You have to see it to
appreciate the big stride forward that has been made in the
perfecting of this equipment.
The Voss Triple Tub Washer is the development of over
41 years of experience and research in the building of family
washing machines. It is, indeed, a laundry complete in itself.
All three tubs are a connected unit and are self-draining,
which means that even the work of lifting water or tilting
the tubs is done away with. The tubs drain through a com
mon drain direct to the floor drain.
Throughout, this washer is built to last for years, even
the staves of the tub being thicker than the ordinary. The
Voss washing mechanism is a perfectly safe method of laun
dering fine garments. Besides, it has the advantage of a
double wringer control, which, as a matter of convenience
and safety, has no equal. The wringer is controlled as
' easily by the foot as by the hand. Controlling it by the
foot, leaves both hands free for feeding the clothes into
the wringer. . :.

Judge Upholds Legislative
Act Regarding Language
However, Issues Temporary Injunction Against State
Officials Preventing Them to Enforce Law Until
Its Validity Has Been Decided by State. Supreme
: Court
The act passed by the last legisla
ture prohibiting the use of any lan
guage other than Englii in schools
below the eighth grade, was upheld
by District Judge Wakeley yesterday
when he sustained demurruers filed
by Governor McKelvie, Attorney
General Davis and County Attor
ney Shotwell.
Bonds were filed by the plaintiffs
in the case and it will be carried to
the supreme court.
Judge Wakeley issued a tempo
rary injunction against the attorney
general and county attorney, pre
venting them from enforcing the
law until its validity has been de
cided by the state supreme court.
The plaintiffs are the Nebraska
district of the Evangelical Lutheran
Synod of Missouri and Ohio, and
St. Francis Catholic church of the
South Side. They allege that op
eration of the law would interfere
with numerous pai-ciial sellouts
which they conduct,, attended by
many children who, when they first
come to school, cannot understand
English.
Yesterday four other plaintiffs in
tervened in the case. They are St
Wenceslaus Catholic church, the
board of directors of the Bohemian
school of the South Side, the board
of directors of the Bohemian school
of Omaha, and Charles Spalek.
The two schools say they operate
Boston House Members
Vote $100 Bonus to Yanks
Boston The republican members
of the house, meeting in a star
chamber caucus, voted to favor a
bill providing a $100 bonus to every
soldier, sailor and marine from Mas
sachusetts, the money to be raised
by taxation on a 50-50 basis, one
half of the amount from property
taxation and the other half from
a head tax.
A number of bills providing a
bonus or a weekly bounty are pend
ing before the house ways and
mears committee and the committee
will now draw up a new bill em
bodying the new features.

on Saturdays only and do not inter
fere with the work of their pupils
in the regular schools. Mr. Spalek
says he has three children and sends
them to the Bohemian school on
Saturdays for cultural and economic
reasons. He says he wants them to
learn the Bohemian language before
they get through the eighth grade,
as it is much more difficult for them
after they have gone that far in
school.
The petition of these interveners
alleges that the foreign language law
is in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitu
tion, and of the first, third, fourth
and fifth sections of the bill of
rights of the Nebraska constitution.
The temporary injunction granted
will permit the operation of all
schools in the state using other lan
guages than English until the su
preme court has passed upon the
validity of the law.
Attorney General Davis yesterday
filed a formal answer to the suit in
the district court in which he holds
that no injunction should be granted
unless the plaintiffs attack the con
stitutionality of the foreign language
law and assert that their property
lights are endangered by its opera
tion. Both these points are alleged in
the petition of the original plaintiffs
and cf the intervenors.
Horse-Drawn Hearse
Rapidly Disappearing
Boston Scores of horse-drawn
hearses are being shipped from here
to New Brunswick. The advent of
motor vehicles for funerals has
thrown a large number of the old
style hearses on the market.
It is said that the purchasers in
the . provinces are putting the
hearses to other uses. Instead of
being used for conveying the dead,
they are employed in some places
in .Nova bcotia to collect poultry.
The rear doors are- removed and
the opening covered with slats and
the chickens and fowls are carried
alive to market. Other hearses
have been converted into peddlers'
wagons.

SERVICE
OLD-TIME "SALT"
GIVES WAY TO
GLEAN GUT YOUTH
Through Energy of Boston
Woman, Young Men of
U. S. Merchant Marine
Form Club.
With the close of the war another
fictioned type of American man
hood is about to disappear. The
old-time merchant marine, the prov
erbial "hardshell" has disappeared
into a past already peopled by pi
rates, long-bearded sea captains and
sea rovers.
Neither the German army nor
navy, submarine force or airplane
power drove him away. Instead he
has disappeared largely through the
kindness and the effects ot one lit
tie woman, Mrs. Henry Howard of
boston and Brookhne. Mass.
Out of many openmgs she chooses
for her interest this new type of
merchant marine who answered the
government's call for seaman; the
type who for the first time left dis
tant nomes with no idea of the try
ing handicaps to developing "sea
legs." She saw a vision of how this
new interest could be made a per
nianent adjunct to the present sys
tern of manning American ships
with cleancut, self-respecting Amer
ican crews. And this means the dis
appearance cf the old merchant ma
rine, practically a "man without
a country, separated temporarily
from his country's economic inter
ests, living a life made up of short
and intense periods of individual
hilarity ashore followed by long,
long stretches of the sea's lonely
isolation. His very whereabouts
were unknown to his family or
friends.
Connection With Homt. '
This very fact formed the nucleus
of Mrs. Howard's service bureau
during the war. The Home Service
of the Red Cross kept the fathers
and mothers in some connection
with army and navy, but the mer
chant marine would have been en
tirely separated except for this one
woman and her social bureau. Going
among her friends she told in a
simnle, touching way of uncer
tainty that came to families about
the brothers, sons or many newly
married men who went unhesitat
inely into the dangers of the open
sea. Submarine attacks, torpedoes
made it necessary for many to
chance their lives to open boats,
with a prospect of being taken, if
rescued, penniless to some foreign
port. This gave her money to
answer every appeal that came tor
help from the absent merchant
sailor's family. There was no ap
propriation but neither was there
one aooeal unanswered.
But the main field in which Mrs.
Howard did her work was in the
social service centers created at the
various training stations. Un
daunted by the scorn of aged sailors
who scoffed at "coddling" these
newcomers, she and her friends
went among them. Unconsciously
they picked up the things that were
the surest to banish homesickness.
Missinir buttonst were sewed on, let
ters were written, base ball games
and athletics started, and lastly a
merchant marine club was es
tablished in Norfolk, Va., where for
the first time, a merchant sailor.
with his newly adopted uniform,
might mingle at a club and feel at
home.
Homes in Foreign Ports.
But another vision comes with
this reality: Mrs. Howard sees in
the future a chain of such homes in
foreign ports of the world co-operating
with local social centers where
the merchant sailor, particularly the
American, will find himself wel
come. She wanted to clear the
vision of these newly enlisted men
so that they could aMd would look
upon the world with a clear and
friendly eye, whatever port they
enter.
Until this vision becomes realzied
she keeps in touch with all these
men by a sailors' directory, showing
the mariner the way to a kindly
greeting at any shore.
So, starting with these boys, who
for the first time had left home, a
series of magical changes came over
the hitherto accepted type of mer
chant sailor and his life. A uniform
gave him prestige where hitherto
he had no standing; a hostess house
gave him a place to entertain and
bV entertained as the army and navy
men; the Red Circle club of the
War Camp Community service pro
vided a place to play billiards, bowl
or smoke in a pleasurable environ
ment, and a woman and the various
agencies who later became interest
ed in her work provided t place
where sick were nursed in mind as
well as body and where each was
helped to adjust himself to his new
surroundings.
"Guest" Is 0. K., But
"Lodger" Is Out of Luck
Salem, Ore. If you are a guest
of an Oregon hotel and have your
clothes "pinched" from your room
yon can make the hotel proprietor
pay. But if you are just a mere
"rocmer" or "lodger" you're out of
luck.
This is the ruling as it stands
to day made by the state supreme
court, A. M. Mcintosh was a reg
ular "roomer" in the Standish hotel,
Portland. When his clothes were
stolen he sued the hotel for $84.
The lower courts granted the
amount requested, but the supreme
court overruled that decision, becuse
Mcintosh was not a transient
"gue st" but a steady "lodger.".
Three Volunteer for Spanking
Elyria, O. "We are going to
have a public spanking and I want
volunteers," said Judge Duffy in
open court "Who will volunteer?"
Every husky in the employ of the
city shot up his hand. The victims
were three small boys who had
hurled stones at a troop train and
had hit a railroad fireman. Their
parents agreed to the spanking
ordered by the court The
"spankers' are to be drafted.

Farmers Oppose Financiers
in Reconstruction Plan
Want International Board and Not Individual Invest
ments Which Would Place Bankers In Control Over
Activities and Life of Peoples and Governments.
By JUSTIN M'GRATH.
Washington, June 21. The
Farmers' National council will fight
wits all its power and influence the
proposal of leading New York
bankers to have the financial inter
ests of the United States arrange
for consolidation of the financial in
terests of the world to sustain the
.war stricken countries of Europe
and their industries during the re
construction period.
George P. Hampton, the manag
ing director of the council, an
nounced today that the plan of the
New York financiers was directly
opposed to the plan of the farmers
of America, as expressed through
their reconstruction plan, adopted
at the Farmers' National Recon
struction conference held in Wash
ington last January.
At this conference the farmers
decided that among the instru
mentalities necessary to make a
league of nations really effective is
an international investment board.
Investments Lead to War.
In urging the establishment of
such a board the conference de
clared that foreign investments
have been a prolific source of mis
understanding between nations, and,
if unregulated, will in the future
lead to conditions that will make
war unavoidable.
The idea of the conference was
that the establishment of the pro
posed international investment
board would prevent the investment
of money by one nation in another
unless agreeable to the nation in
which the investment was made,
and furthermore, would prevent the
use of force by any nation to pro

"The financial interests of the
country," said Mr. Hampton "are
now endeavoring, in opposition to
the plan proposed by the farmers
of the country, to put into effect
the plan proposed by Messrs. Van
derlip, Davison and others by
which the financial interests and
not the governments, would con
trol the financing necessary for
world reconstruction.
"Mr. Vanderlip's idea was that
the money should be loaned the
distressed countries and a lien on
their customs accepted as security.
"Mr. Davison's suggestion was
that debentures be issued against the
credits established in Europe. Every
country would guarantee the deben
tures against it. .Then the banking
interests could place the debentures
with the public, distributed as widely
as possible.
Would Put Financiers in Control.
"This plan involves, as admitted
by its advocates, very close co-operation
between the financial interests
and the governments of the several
countries, and puts the financiers in
dagerous control over the activities
of every government, and the "eco
nomic and political life" of the peo
ple involved.
"Before the European war start
ed the total indebtedness of the
world, governmental and commer
cial, was, in round figures, $300,000,
000,000. It has been increased dur
ing the war by at least $180,000,
000,000. It is necessary that this
vast indebtedness should be liqui
dated at the earliest possible mo
ment and that, pending such liqui
dation, governments should be in
complete control of the international
investmets.. The proposal of the

Present Crime Wave ; ,
Like Days of Civil 1
War, Says Policeman
St. Louis, Mo. Thomas W. Pur
cell, a policeman, who has served
continuously in the St. Louis police
department since 1866, after being
discharged from the Union forces,
declares that the preseent crime
wave in cities is no worse than the
one which followed the reconstruc
tion period after the Civil war.
"There was lots of crime at that
time, just as there is now," Purcell
says, in speaking about the recon
struction period following the Civil
war, "but the perpetrators had
nothing faster than horses and they
didn't get away. Automobiles seem,
to make it easier for them to es
cape." Purcell is the only surviving mem
ber of the first detachment ol
mounted police.
He was a member of the posse
that tried to capture the James and
Younger boys, who terrorized the
middle west.

This is the second issue the Farm
ers' National council has raised with
the capitalist class, the other being
the proposal to sell to private in

built by the government during the
war. The farmers are strong advo
cates of government ownership of
the fleet and are planning for a
country-wide campaign against the
proposal to dispose of it.
