Barker Block, 15th and Farnam
streets. We have stated that
this would be the finest dental
office in the middle west. That
the public may know, we invite
them to visit us.
A In the past number of years
we have done .dental work for
thousands always with the un
derstanding that we guaranteed
our-work. To these we suggest
that if they so desire, we would

and if any attention is necessary
we are ready and would be glad
of the opportunity to make good
our guarantee. 1
With larger office quarters,
improved facilities, greater ca
pacity; the presence pf special
ists in every branch of . dental
surgery, we can renew our
promise to our friends and pa
trons that all our work in the
future as in the past, is done
under a guarantee which at all

Empress A Japanese opperette
heads the vaudeville bill at the Em
press this half of the week, and as
the photoplay attraction there is
offered Bessie Barriscale in "Tan
gled Threads," a stirring story of
how a woman vindicates her char
acter. Richard Jones, the Sennett com
edy (director, made a sensational
debut in motion pictures. Tbe first
time he came into a studio, Mr. Sen
nett was working in a comedy with
the late Fred Mace. On that day
pie throwing was at its height.
Somebody was trying to hit some
body else with a pie. They missed
the mark every time. "Here," said
Mr. Sennett, looking up and catch
ing sight of Jones, "you try this."
Mr. Jones, having been a star col
lege base ball pitcher, got the pie,
wound up the way they do, hoisted
one leg toward the chandeliers, bal
anced himself on the other foot and
let her go zowiet The outdoor
drop struck Mace in the eye and
nearly knocked him out. Jones got
a permanent job with the company,
but they never asked him to throw
any more pies. For safety's sake,
fhey put him in the chemical de
partment. '
Strand A really worth-while pho
toplay is "The Haunted Bedroom,"
starring dainty Enid Bennett, which
is on view at the Strand. The mys
tical atmosphere imparted by the
story fills the spectator with thrills
and there isn't a dull moment
throughout the action. It is quite
certain that all who see this pro
duction will find it entertaining to a
degree. The support is excellent.
Muse The jovial Taylor Holmes
has never been funnier than he is in
this story, from the popular morfthly
magazine, by George Agnew Cham
berlain. The laughs start during the
first reel, when the hero must sac
rifice his fortune because he has
rescued a little girl from the back
row of the chorus. He becomes a
taxi driver to fill the void caused by
his lost income. And when the
maid-of-all-work, Maude Eburne, at
the chauffeur's lodgings, attempts
to force her unwelcome courtship
by her supposed knowledge that her
hero is the- 'laxi bandit," even the
most chronic grouch won't be able
to keep bis face straight.
Rialto A new picture in which
that delightful and popular little
star, Vivian Martin, 'plays the lead
ing role "An Innocent Adventur
ess," will be shown here today and
Saturday. The picture shows how
the innocence of a little girl can
sometimes become a great and pow
erful force for good and cause the
regeneration of a man. .. In this in-

To Install Automatic
Telephones in Tyler
and Douglas Exchanges
Douglas and Tyler exchanges of
the Nebraska Telephone company
will be supplied with automatic tele
phones to supplant the less modern
"manual" instruments now in use,
according to an announcement by
President W. B. T. Belt
Though the change has been
definitely decided, upon, it will not
take place until some time in 1921,
before which time the supplies and
equipment necessary for the instal
lation of the new instruments can
not be manufactured and transport
ed to this city.
The material and equipment has
already been contracted for. A
year will elapse before the new
equipment can be installed atter it
arrives here, said Mr. Belt.
All employes of the company will
be retained after the substitution,
although this will necessitate the
transfer of many girls now employ
ed as operators to other depart
ments. '
The shortage of employes is so
great at. present that it is believed
the Tyler and Douglas exchange op
erators may find positions in other
exchanges.
Increased efficiency as well as
greater economy is expected to re
sult from the use of new instru
ments. -

Police Inefficiency Is Cause of
Another Drowning Tragedy
Commissioner Ringer Admits Pulmoters Were Not Re
paired After Death of Four Children Month Ago.
He Says : "We Don't Believe in Them."
Police inefficiency and Commis
sioner Ringer's refusal to keep the
pulmotor in repair were directly re
sponsible for the death Wednesday
night of Joseph Wiley, the 12-yeat
old boy, who died after being res
cued from George's lake between
Benson and Happy Hollow, accord
ing to Mr. Ringer's own admission.
Young Wiley was taken from 25
feet of water and life was not ex
tinct for half an hour.
Had there been one of the paid
city physicians at the police sta
tion to answer the emergency, as
there is supposed to be at all times,
and had the pulmotor been in work
ing order, young Wiley would be
alive today.
This is the belief of those who
exerted all of the efforts at their
command to save the boy's life.
Ringer Admits Charge.
Commissioner Ringer, who was
criticized severely for not keeping
the pumotor in repair, which re
sulted in the death of several school
children a month ago in Riverview
park, admits he has made no effort
to put the lungmotor in working
order. He declared he did not be
lieve in pulmotors, notwithstanding
the fact they are used successfully
every day all over the country.
No effort is being made, said Mr.
Ringer, to keep the police pulmotor
in working order. "On the advice
of Health- Commissioner Manning
some time ago, vt are not keeping
these pulmotors up. Dr. Manning
aUvised us that the manual form of
resuscitation is the most reliable,"
said the police commissioner, "and
that the pulmotors are not reliable
and not worth keeping in working
condition."
Police Commissioner Ringer's re
fusal to repair the lungmotor was
the cause of the deaths of one or
two of the children in Riverview
park, according to the statement of
one of the policemen who helped
take the children from the water
at that time.
Showed Signs of Life
S. S. Montgomery, 5019 Chicago
street, declared that while he was
attempting to resuscitate Wiley
Wednesday, the victim showed signs
of life, and that it is more than prob
able if the police, who were already
on the scene, had been accompan
ied by a physician ready to use the
pulmotor, the child's life would
have been saved.
Montgomery, who is indignant
over the inability of the police de
partment to meet emergency cases
of this character, made the follow
ing statement:
"When I reached the scene of the
drowning the police were there
without a physician or pulmotor. I

worked over the boy and at one time
there were indications of life being
still in the body. I am convinced
that if the police" had brought a
pulmotor and a physician with them,
the boys life would have been
saved.
"I asked the policeman where the
pulmotor was. They told me it was
out of commission. It looks as if
the city could notf afford a pul
motor. By the time private phy
sicians could be reached the boy was
dead.
Citizens Plan Action.
"I will start a subscription list by
giving $10 towards the purchase of a
pulmotor for the city, and if it is
necessary citizens should start an
other subscription list to pay for the
services of a physician, who will re
main at the police station ready to
respond to such emergency calls.
Mr. Ringer has several physicians
on his pay roll, who are charged
with the duty of remaining at the
station at all times. There was no
physician at the station a month ago
when the distress call was sent in
from Riverview park.
Mr. Ringer has made no effort to
explain this negligence. So far as
is known, he took no steps follow
ing the Riverpark tragedy to see that
the city physicians charged with the
duty of remaining at the police sta
tion did not neglect their duty in the
future.
The drowning occurred at 8
o'clock. In company with Irving
Williams, 2547 North Sixtieth ave
nue; Keith Cannell. 2331 North
Sixty-fifth street; Walter Shelley,
4612 Parker street, and Paul Mon
roe, Fortieth and Izard streets, the
Wiley boy went for a plunge in the
cold waters of the lake. His com
panions stated that he was unable
to swim and got into, deep water.
One of the boys rushed to the Hap
py Hollow club telephone and called
the police station. In the meantime
several physicians responded. R. E.
Montgomery, 5105 Davenport street,
recoverd the body by diving.
Just four weeks ago yesterday fou
children were drowned in the pond
at Riverview park on account ot
carelessness in not protecting the
little folks who were allowed to use
boats which were rented by the
concessionaire of the park. It waz
stated at that time on reliable au
thority that a pulmotor in time and
in working order would have saved
the life of at least one girl who
died after being rescued from tbe
water.
One month after the drownings
at Riverview park, the city couiic'i
has started its official investigation
The council yesterday approved vf
appointment of a special committee,
comprising Mayor Smith and Com

There comes a time when
almost everyone needs credit.
Young men want to go into busi-

"business houses want to expand.
One of the quickest ways
of establishing a line of credit
is through a bank taking care
to choose a strong, reliable in

business there.
Soon you will be known
to the bank's officers, and when
the time comes that you need

to ask for accommodations.
