WOMEN DAN VOTE
AT PRIMARIES,
SAYS ATTORNEY
Author of Partial Suffrage
Law Names Elections at
Which NeW Voters Can
Participate.
Women are entitled to vote for all
. .elective officers in primary elections,
according to a ruling of C A. Soren
sen, attorney, and author of the
woman suffrage law.
In response to a request of Mrs.
W,E. Barkley of Lincoln, presi
dent of the Nebraska'Woman Suf
- frage association, for an opinion on
the voting privileges of women un
der the partial woman suffrage act
of 1917, he ruled that women could
vote for all officers at primary elec
tions, including the constitutional
convention primary.
According to Mr. Sorensen's rul
ing on voting at primaries, the
primary is mof an ejection, but an
orderly method of selecting men to
represent their political party in an
election.
Under this ruling women will be
, entitled to vote at the primary elec
tion. SeDtember 16, 1919. for the se
lection of candidates for delegates
to the Constitutional convention and
at the general primary election next
spring will have the same rights as
men in electing the candidates of the
' various political parties for presi
dent, governor, attorney-general and
other minor state officers, supreme
and district court judges, congress
men, members of the legislature and
all county and precinct officers.
At the general election in Novem
ber he rules that women may vote
for president of the United States
and all county and precinct officers,
except county judge and upon
county propositions, such as bond
issues. All school propositions and
' officers may be voted on by women.
He rules that women are not en
titled to vote on Questions submitted
to the voters of the state under the
DETAILED PLAN
OF AERIAL MAIL
SERVICE SOON
Hangars Needed In Omaha to
Be Decided Upon This
Week.
Robert H Manley, commissioner
of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, returned from Washington
yesterday with the information that
within two weeks complete details
of the air mail service will be 'an
nounced at Washington.
John A. Jor,dan, in charge of the
air mail field -service, will be in
Omaha this week to look over tbe
Omaha landing field and determine
what will be necessary in the way
of hangars for the airships.
The service from Chicago to
Omaha, is another leg in the ex
tension of the service that is ex
pected to etentually extend from
coast to coast. The installation of
the service is expected to quickly
follow the visit of Mr. Jordan,
though it is possible that the air
mail ships will not commence ar
riving before September or pos
sibly, October.
According to information gather
ed by Mr. Manley, Qmaha will be
a relay station, later on, mail for
Denver being taken out of here.
Mr. Manley was informed that
the government is now trying out
for mail carrying purposes a much
larger machine, one equipped with
three motors. If they prove satis
factory, they will go into the Omaha-Chicago
service.
While in Washington, Mr. Manley
called at the War department and
was informed that officials are not
ready to announce the program rela
tive to the balloon school at
Omaha. He was given to under
stand that it would be continued
and probably greatly enlarged in
the near future.
-J Talking with War department of
ficials, Mr. Manley reached the con
clusion that while no enormous
standing army is contemplated, the
forces will be maintained at a total
between 250,000 and 400,000 men.

' ul tried for five long years to
find something that would over
come my troubles, and during the
past year I spent five hundred dol
lars for treatment, but I never got
any relief at all until I commenced
taking Tanlac," said Mrs. Clarence
Teas, who lives at 1208 Colorado
Ave., Kansas City, Mo., the other
day.
. "I was certainly despondent over
my condition when I began taking
Tanlac," continued Mrs. Teas, '.'for
I had just had an X-ray examina
tion, and was told that I would
never get well unless I underwent
an operation. My kidneys were in
bad condition, and I suffered ter
ribly with pains in the small of my
back, and frequently had bad spells
f sick headaches. , I had stomach
trouble, too, and everything I ate
would disagree with me, and I
finally got to- where it was t hard
matter for me to retain what little
did eat. I often had severe
iramping spells which were caused
by gas forming from sour, undi
gested food. My condition just
gradually got worse until I was
zery weaW and run down.
"I had been reading about the
good Tanlac was doing so many
people right here in Kansas City,
I decided to give it a trial and it
proved to be just the medicine I
needed. Why, I have actually
. gained ten pounds, and I have only
taken three bottles. My kidneys
- seem to be in perfect condition, and
the stomach trouble has been com
pletely overcome. ' I have a fine
. appetite, and can eat meats and
t pastries, and many other things I
didn't dare touch before, and I
never suffer a particle afterwards.
I get plenty of good, restful sleep'

Chicago System of Traffic -Regulation
May Be Used Here
The c'ty council is considering
adopting the Chicago system of
traffic regulation in Omaha. Under
this system the traffic officer would
stand on the sidewalk at intersec
tions and direct traffic by means of
whistle signals. This system is re
ported to be satisfactory even in
the crowded loop streets of Chi

a success.

Two of the largest signs in Omaha
were put in place yesterday on the
Paxton block, northeast corner of

signs each extend from the top of
the building to within 15 feet of the

as Benson & Thorne. This store

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it wjth.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than anything else you .can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes eyery particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
ana it leaves it fine and silky,
bright fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months. Adv.

Marlowe Relizes His Danger.
"You say someming In that man
uscript of yours, Mr. Trent, about
the swift,- automatic way in which
one's ideas arrange themselves
about some new, illuminating
thought. It is quite true. The awful
intensity of ill-will that had flamed
after me from those straining eye
balls had poured over my mind like
a search-light.. I was thinking quite
clearly now, and almost coldly, for
I knew wht -at least I knew whom
I had to fear, and instinct warned
me that it was not a time to give
room to the emotions that were
righting to possess me. The man
hated me insanely. That incredible
fact I suddenly knew. But the face
had told me it would have told any
body more than that. It was a face
of hatred gratified, it proclaimed
some damnable triumph. It had
gloated over me driving away to
myfate. This too was plain to me.
And what was my fate?
"I stopped the car. It had gone
about two hundred and fifty yards,
and a sharp bend of the road hid
the spot where I had set Manderson
down. I lav back in the seat and
thought it out. Something was to
happen to me. In Paris? Probably
why else should I be sent there,
with money and a ticket But why
Paris? That puzzled me, for I had
no melodramatic idea about Paris. I
put the point aside for a moment. I
turned to the other things that had
roused my attention that evening.
The lie about my 'persuading him
to go for a moonlight run.' What
was the intention of that? Mander
son, I said to myself, will be return
ing without me while I am on my
way to Southampton. What will he
tell them about me? How account
for his returning alone and without
the car? As I asked myself that sin
ister question there rushed into my
mi..d the last of my difficulties:
'Where are the thousand pounds?'
And in the same instant came the
answer: 'The thousand pounds are
in my pocket.'
"I got up and stepped from the
car. My knees trembled and I felt
very sick. I saw the plot now as I
thought. The whole of the story
about the papers and the necessity
of their being taken to Paris was a
blind. With Manderson's money
about me, of which he would, de
clare I had robbed him, I was to all
appearance attempting to escape
from England, with every precau
tion that guilt could suggest. He
would communicate with the police
at once, and would, know how to put
them on my track. I should be ar
rested in Paris if I got so far
living under a false name, after hav
ing left the car under a false name.
disguised myself, and traveled in a
cabin which I had booked in ad
vance, also under a false name. It
would be plainly the crime of a man
without money, and for some
reason desperately in want of it. As
for mv account of the affair, it
would be too preposterous.
"As this ghastly array of incrimin
ating circumstances rose before me,
I dragged the stout lettercase trom
my pocket. In the intensity of the
moment I never entertained the
faintest doubt that I was right, and
that the money was there. It Would
easily hold the packets of notes.
But as I felt it and weighed it in
my hands it seeemed to me there
must be more than this. It was too
bulky. What more was to be laid
to my charge. After all, a thousand
pounds was not much -to tempt a
man like myself to run the risk of
penal servitude. In this new agita
tion, scarcely knowing what I did,
I caught the surrounding strap in
my fingers just above the' fastening
and tore the staple out of the lock.
These locks, you know, are pretty
flimsy as a rule."
Here Marlow paused and walked
to the oaken desk before the win
daw. Opening a drawer full of mis
cellaneous objects, he took out a
box of odd keys, and selected a
small one distinguished by a piece
of pink tape. ,
He handed it to Trent. "I keep
that by me as a sort of morbid me
mento. It is the key to the lock I
smashed. I might have saved my
self the trouble if I had known that
this key was at that moment in the
left-hand side-pocket of my over
coat. Manderson must have slipped
it in, either while the coat was hang
ing in the hall or while he sat at my
side in the car. I might not have
found the tiny thing there for weeks
as a matter of fact I did find it
two days after Monderson was dead
but a police search would have
found it in five minutes. And then I
I with the case and its contents
in my pockets, my false name and
my sham spectacles and the rest of
it I should have had no explana
tion to offer but the highly con
vincing one that I didn't know the
key was there."
Trent dangled the kev bv its taoe
idly. Then "How do you know this
is the key of that case?" he asked
quickly.
"I tried it. As soon as I found it
I went up and fitted it to the lock
I knew where I nad left the thine,
So do you, I think, Mr. Trent Don't
you?" There was a faint shade of
mockery in Marlowe s voice!
, Toucher Trent said, with a dry
smile. "I found a large empty letter-
case with a burst lock lying with
other odds and ends on the dressing
table in Manderson's room. Your
statement is that you put it there.
I could make nothing of it." He
closed his lips.
"There was no reason for hiding
it, said Marlowe. But to get back
to my story. I burst the lock of the
strap. I opened the case before one
of the lamps of the car. The first
thing I found in it I ought to have
expected, of course; but I hadn't."
He paused and glanced at Trent.
"It was " began Trent mechani
cally; and then stoooed himself.
"Try not to bring me in any more,
if you don't mind," he said, meeting
the other's eye. "I have comoli-
mented you already in that docu
ment on your cleverness. You need
not prove it by making the judge
help you out with your evidence."
"All right,"agreed Marlowe. "I
couldn't resist just that much. If
you had been in my place you would
have known before I did that Man
derson's little pocket case was there.
As soon as I saw it, of course, I re
membered his not havins had it
1, about him when I asked for the,
money, and his surprising anger.
He had made a false step. He had
already fastened his note-case up
with the rest of what was to figure
as my plunder, and placed it in my
hands. I opened it. It contained a
few -notes as usual I didn't count
them.
"Tucked into the flaps of the big
case in packets were, the other
notes, just as I had brought them
from London. And with them were
two small wash-leather bags, the
look of which I knew well. My
heart jumped sickeningly again,
for this too was utterly unexpected.
In those bags Manderson kept the
diamonds in which he had been in
vesting for some time past. I didn't
open them;-1 could feel the tiny
stones shifting under the pressure
of my fingers. How many thousands'
of pounds' worth there were I have
no idea. We had regarded Mander
son's diamond-buying as merely a
speculative fad. I believe now that it
was the earliest movement in the
scheme for my ruin. or any one
like myself to" be represented as hav
ing robbed him there ought to be a
strong inducement shown. That had
been provided with a vengeance
"Now, I thought, I have the
whole thing plain, and I must act.
I saw instantly what I must do. I
had left Manderson about a mite
from the house. It would take him
twenty minutes, fifteen if he walked
fast, to get back to the house, where
he would of course immediately tell
his story of robbery, and probably
would telephone at once to the po
lice in Bishopsbridge. I had left him
only five or six minutes ago for all
that I have just told you was as
quick thinking as I ever did. It
would be easy to overtake him in
the car before he neared the house,
There would be an awkward inter
view I set my teeth as I thought
of it, and all my fears vanished as
I began to savor the gratification
of telling him my opinion of him.
There are probably few people who
ever positively looked forward to
an awkward interview with Man
derson; but I was mad with rage.
My honor and my liberty had been
plotted against with detestable
treachery. I did not consider what
would follow the interview. That
would arrange itself.
"J had started and turned the car
I was already going fast when
I heard the sound of a shot in front
of me, to the right.
"Instantly I stopped the car. My
first wild thought was that Mander
son was sihooting at me. Then I re
alized that the noise had not been
close at hand. I could see nobodv
on the road, though the moonlight
Hooded it. 1 had left Manderson at
a spot just round a corner that was
now some fifty yards ahead of me.

again with a jar, and for a moment

Marlowe made another pause.
and Trent, with a puckered brow,
inquired: On the golf-course?
"Obviously," remarked Mr. Cud-
ules. "The eighth green is just
there. He had grown more and
more interested as Marlowe went
on, and was now playing feverishly
with his thin beard.
"On the green, quite close to the
flag," said Mr. Marlowe. "He lay
on his back, his arms were stretched
abroad, his jacket and heavy over
coat were open; the light shone
hideously on his white face and his
shirtfront; it glistened on his bared
teeth and one of the eyes. The other

unable for the moment to think of
all, I could even see a thin dark

the shattered socket to the ear.

at his feet a pistol.

Cliquot Club Elects New
Addition; Doubles Output
.The Clicquot club Co., Millis,
Mass., has just completed a new ad
dition to its plant. New machinery
is being installed. This will double
the production. A new power plant
has been erected which will triple
previous power equipment. Two
new sidetracks have been secured.
This is due to the tremendously
increased business which the Clic
quot Club Co. is doing. This concern,
which has been under the present
management for the last 10 years,
has secured a national business.
Clicquot Club is practically the only
domestic ginger ale which is sold in
almost every part of this country.
The quality of the product has never
been allowed to deteriorate. During
the time when there was a marked
shortage of sugar the managemnt
preferred to curtail the production
rather than use any substitute. It
is a product which has won its posi
tion of supremacy by quality and the
strength of its advertising effort.

What Madge Discovered in Mr.
Stockbridge's Desk.
It was not a pleasant task that
faced me when Alice Holcombe hast
ily left Mr. Stockbridge's office with
the declaration that she could not
c-ptn his private dsk even to get tne
papers he wished, because she knew
him too well."
Only the fact that I suspected her
secret hopeless fondness for her girl
hood s friend and had compassion
for it ma.de me willing to tiki lu-r
place and to undertake the search
which I knew irust be made.
With the jifncipai s keys in my
hands I sat down before the small
desk Mr. Stock-bridge had bought
tor himself some time before, al
though a large rolltop one, provided
for his use by. the school board,
stood ifl the office. Through my
brain ran the mischievous comment
upon the desk from the frivolous lips
of Bess Dean:
"Mark my word. girls, Kenny's
got a secret drawer in that thing
where he keeps his old love letters
and the heads of his former wives."
That the desk held secrets prob
ably most innocent ones of Ken
neth Stockbridge's past, I knew from
the mad behavior of the principal's
wife the day before, when she had
stolen her husband's keys and pried
into the secrets he had endeavored
to keep inviolate. I earnestly hoped
that the missing reports which Mr.
Stockbridge wished sent to Albany
might be the first things upon which
my eyes should rest when I opened
the desk, so that I might be able to
conclude immediately a task most
distasteful to me.
Disheartening Chaos.
But as I drew out the right-hand
drawers of the desk I saw that no
such simple solution of my problem
awaited me. Mr. Stockbridge,
whether by nature or by stern train
ing, is the most methodical of men.
The papers in his other desk to
which the head teachers have access,
are always neatly arranged, and his
letter files are models. The papers
before me, however, were scattered
and tumbled in disheartening con
fusion. Hastily I pulled open the other
two drawers upon the right side. The
same chaos met my gaze. ine
drawers looked as if they had been
invaded by some mischievous monk
ey with a touch of malignance in his
mischief, and I thought grimly that
Milly Stockbridge did have some
thing decidedly simian in her mental
make-up.
Hunting for the missing papers in
the ruck before me was a much
greater problem, I said grimly to
myself, than that of the man who
first set out to search a haystack for
a needle. There was but one thing
to be done, and that was to go
through the mess systematically, re
arrange and file all the contents of
the drawers. Thus, only, could I be
sure whether or not the missing Al
bany reports were ajnong the tum
bled papers.
I worked fast and methodically,
putting upon one side of each drawer
neat little piles of papers pertaining
to the school, each set docketed and
its location entered in the pages of a
small memorandum book I found.
It was not until the contents of
two drawers had been put in per
fect order, and I was at work upon
the third that I found the missing re
ports. I verified them hastily, laid
ihem on top of the desk, and cast a
doubtful glance at the confused mass
of papers in the lowest drawer, in
woeful contrast to the orderly array
in the ones I had just finished.
Should I finish the job I had begun?
My loathing of disorder triumphed
over my reluctance to linger a mo
ment longer than was necessary
over the distasteful task which had
been forced upon me. I looked at my
wrist watch, found that I had time
to finish arranging the drawer before
my first class, turned to my sorting
with renewed zeal.
Almost the first thing my fingers
fmind wat a ohotoirraDh torn sav
agely across. Mechicalfy I fitted the
two pieces together, preparatory to
putting it in an envelope. And then
I recognized the picture tace ot
