12 THE BEE: OMAHAyS FRIDAY, ' AUGUST 8.' 1919. My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison' New Phase of Revelations of a Wife BRINGING UP FATHER Sm Jiffs and Mafgi in Full Pal of Colors in Th Sunday Bn. Drawn for The Bee by McManua CopyriRM 191 International News Service What Happened After Rita Brown Went to Telephone., Here's your drug shop." f Alfred swung the car to the side of the road, drew tip in front of a village pharmacy as if he had been driving a car for years. Wnd here's your marume." He held out a bill. "Oh, I don't want thatl I'll only have to get it changed." Rita Brown spoke petulantly. I surmised that she was glad of an excuse to vent . her resentment against Alfred Dur kee. . "Allow me, old dear." Dicky sprang to his feet, held out some stiver to the girl, then opened the door and assisted her to the ground ' with a sweeping flourish of his hat. " "May I assist you in telephoning, hold the receiver to your shell-like ear or any little thmg like that? I should so like to help you." Dicky's voice expressed the most elaborate concern. I wished that he would forego his love of teasing in this particular in . stance, for the girl's eyes were smoldering with wrath. She was in no mood for pleasantry of any de scription. Dicky Would Bet She had accepted the silver coins, with a cool ,crisp "Thank you." She turned on Dicky now with a look that spelred anger rising' almost to " the danger point. "Suppose you close your trap and bolt' it 1" she said raucously with a reversion to the type from which I suspected she had been bred, and, turning upon her heel, walked haughtily into the drug store. "Dear chee-ldl I'm so afraid she's upset about something." Dicky's face was like an undertaker's, his voice a piping falsetto. "What can it be? Alfie, you naughty, naughty boy, why didn t you let her have the seat try your side?" Alfred spread his hands toward Leila, nodded his head smilingly, but vouchsafed no other answer. The Virginia girl's cheeks vied in color with the berries she had been hulling before the ride. Dicky regarded her ' quizzically. I was afraid he would j make some other teasing remark to her, rose to my feet quickfy, seizing the first excuse I could think of to - divert Dicky's attention. "Oh, Dicky, there's a display of those rubbers for the canning jars which mother and Mrs. - Durkee wanted so much! See, in that gro , eery window. We couldn't get them in the Marvin stores. Let's hurry. We can get them by the time Miss Brown finishes her telephoning." "Anything to oblige you, petty- ' dear." When Dicky is. in a teasing mood he generally invents some ridiculous "pet name" with which to Address me, knowing my abhorrence of public endearments. But as we walked toward the grocery store he i dropped his affected manner ab ruptly. "Bt you a fiver we see the last o(THer Grace of Greenwich to- ". night," he said in a voice meant for my ear only. "What do you mean?" I asked startled. "What I say. She'll fly the coop tohight." TBut she's made all plans to stay days longer." "That was when she still had an idea she might cop old Alf out when he wasn't looking, or had forgotten to cross his fingers. But she isn't quite bone from her neck up, you know and anybody who wasn't solid ivory above the shoulder blades would deduce from our Alfie's little ,' performance this afternoon that he f was quite fed tip on the Rita Brown proposition, and intended to cast his glances in another direction." Has Dicky Intuition? T erav sn imnarient little siffh at Dicky's atrocious slang, but I had learned wisdom with the years and didn't voice my irritation. Instead I devoted my mind to the mental translation of his jargon. - . "You really think he's attracted . by Leila?" I asked eagerly, forget ting Rita Brown for the moment in this hint of a romance. Dicky cast a whimsical glance at me. , "Oh, no he doesn't know she'j on earth," he began teasingly, then ab ruptly changed his manner. "I don't remember ever seeing old Alf quite so fitting up and taking . quite so much notice,' he said re flectively. "I only hope the Fair faxes won't go when the Brown de parts." "What makes you think she's go . ing?" I persisted. f "Intutition, life-of-me-heart. I i know as well as if I were listening to her that she's arranging with somebody in dear old Greenwich vil lage to send her an urgent summons : ' home tonight." (Continued Tomorrow.) Draft Evaders Who , TooLGirl Trapped c 'on Flat Top Mountain Welch, W. Va. Aug. 7.

With a total of almost 1,400 votes accounted for, the oppo sition to the treaty as a whole has grown to stronger than 10 to 1. Of the 1,398 persons who have ex pressed their attitude towards the peace treaty in its present form 1,284 oppose the treaty, while but 114 favor immediateratification of the covenant. From Sterling, Neb., The Bee re ceived a petition signed by 31 per sons, 23 of whom oppose the league of nations issue, and eight of whom favor radical changes in the instru' ment. The petition also included 42 names advocating the immediate re peal of the daylight saving law. A Neligh, Neb., party sends in a peti tion with 19 names opposing the league of nation issue. A Seward, Neb., petition bears 28 , names, all opposing the league of nations. Following are some of the letters voicing the sentiment of a few of The Bee readers' on the covenant is sues: H. J. Bailey, city: "I enclose my vote in your straw vote on the peace treaty. I do not think this straw vote is going to indicate the senti ment of the people of this section, for, naturally, the republicans who are interested in trying to make a political issue ofthis matter, and to oppose the present administration, will respond to such a vote carried on by you in greater number than will those who favor the treaty. "The claim made by those oppos ing the treaty that we yi$ld up some of our sovereign rights is ridiculous, when we consider that this is done by both parties to every treaty and as a matter of fact, is done by every individual when he yields ac quiescence to any law. I have con fidence that the president and his advisers are just as much interested in protecting the rights of this coun try as the republican politicians who are striving to make an issue, and that we can afford to yield as much to secure a permanent peace as can any of the other nations who are parties to this treaty." Quotes President Wilson. Writing of his opposition to the league of nations, J. A. W. Johnson of Kilgore, Neb., quotes President Wilson in his famous address on "Entangling Alliances" on May 6, 1914. in tffcich the president said: "There are just as vital thing? stirring nowsthat concern the exist ence of the nation as were stirring then (to wit, in Washington's time) and every man who worthily stands in this presence should examine himself and see whether he has the full conception of what it means. America should live its own life. Washington saw it when he wrote his farewell address. It was not merely because of passing and transient circumstances that Wash ington and we must keep from en tangling alliances. It was because he say that no country had yet set its face in the same direction in which America had set its face. We cannot form alliances with those who are not going our way, and in our might and in the confidence and definitenes of our own purpose we need not and we should not form alliances with any nation in the world. Those who are right, those who study their consciences in de termining their policy, those who hold their honor higher than their advantages, do not need alliances When we go out from this presence we ought to take the idea with us that we too are devoted to the pur pose "of enabling America to live its own life, to be the justest, the most progressive, the most honorable, the THE GOLDEN WEST s IS ATTRACTING INVESTORS NATION-WIDE OUR MARKET LETTER Dwells in detail on reliable Oil and Mining issues.

T The City may at its option increase the amount of any sinking fund payment. ' Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the chief seaport and leading commercial City of the Kingdom. Situated on one of the largest harbors of Europe at the entrance to the Baltic Sea, it holds a strategic position for world trade. The City has by far the most important free port in Scandinavia, an advantage of much consequence in the commerce of Northern Europe. From 1895 ivhen the Free Port was established, to 1913, the last full year before the war, the annual tonnage entering Copenhagen increased from 260,096 tons to 1,801,299 tons. The population of the Cityis 550,000. Tfhis is nearly one-fifth the population of the entire Kingdom. Loans, of Copenhagen have always been held in high favor among European investors. In normal times these loans were issued at rates of interest of 3lz omd 4. The total debt of Copenhagen including the present issue is approximately $89,879,200. The debt of' the City has increased relatively little during the entire war period. We are advised that no other foreign loan will be issued by the City within one year.
