BY E. C. SNYDER
. (Staff Cortpondnt Omh Bae.)
' Washington, Aug. ' 23.-r-(Special
Telegrm.) Special cljrks in the
Omaha and sub postoffices to the
number of 30 or more will be grati-
.. fied to learn that through the inter-
' est of Congressman Jefferis, aided
by C. P. Franciscus, president of the
United National Association of Post
office Oerks, with offices in New
York City, Postmaster General
' Burleson has issued a ruling that
where special clerks, whose basic
, aalary it $1,300 a year and whose ef-
. ficiency rating is 90 per cent or
over, will from July 1 of this year re
?eeive $1,400 a year which, with the
bonus df $240, will give them a sal
ary of $1,640.
Some time ago L. P. Dyherberg
of Omaha, acting as spokesman for
the special clerks of the main and
tub postoffices in that city, wrote
Congressman Jefferis, enclosing a'
resolution signed by all the specials
in which they pointed out the alleg
ed discriminations against them in
.: former postoffice appropriation bills
and stating the postmaster general
was responsible for the discrimina-
' tion. Representative Jefferis had a
conference with Chairman S'eener-
,' sonof the postoffice and post roads
committee in which Mr. Steenerson
: stated that a request had been made
by the postmaster general that the
.: $1,800. minimum salary be not ap
plied . to special clerks. Chairman
, Steenerson, however, assured the
Omaha, man that the matter would
be taken up in the next postoffice
. j appropriation bill. -
V'.v Meantime C. P. Franciscus wrote
v President Wilson, calling attention
to the j unjust discrimination. The
''. letter, in due course reached Fost-
mater General Burleson, who yesterday-informed
Mr. Franciscus of
:vthe increased salary for special
clerks ind in recognition of Mr. Jef-
; fens' efforts in behalf of these clerks
Mr. Franciscus communicated the
t foregoing information to the con-
' gressmsn today.

Tragedies Caused by High
Living Cost, Says Shotwell
That numerous tragedies, murders
and suicides committed in Omaha
of late are directly traceable to the
high cost of living and insufficient
support, is the statement of County
Attorney Shotwell.
Every day many women come
to me with complaints and at-
sirine to nave tneir anncuiues
straightened out," declared Mr.
Shotwell, "and in the majority of
the cases the trouble is principally
due' to improper providing on the
part of the husband.
"When improperly supported the
wives become peevish and irritable,
the men worry and reach a similar
state and then things begin to hap
pen, in many cases resulting tragic
ally. I don't know where the blame
lies, neither can I suggest a remedy.
The high cost of living is responsi
ble for many evils."

"Jazz" Music Makes
Big Hit With Beauty
Trust at the Gayety
Direct from a year's engagement
in Flo-Flo at the Cort theater, New
York,' Miss Effie Burton made her
debut in burlesque in "The Beauty
Trust production, Nedra, at the
Gayety theater yesterday. She has
a fine voice and her musical numbers
were well received.
The show specializes on "jarz" and
the musical numbers conducted by
Heinie Hanley keep the feet of the
audience tapping the floor. Mr. Han
ley established an enviable reputa
tion as a "jaxz violinist" before the
larger cabarets were closed.
Miss Frances Farr as Nedra, the
sleeping queen of Atlantis, put "pep"
in the show at her every appearance.
She was assisted in leading the jazz
numbers of the chorus by Miss Inez
Hanley.
The Beautv Trust, which made its
first appearance in Omaha, is all that
the name lraohes. All the costumes
and scenery are new and the mu
sical program includes all the latest
successes.
Featuring the production are three
comedians, Jack Pearl, Al Hillier and
Eugene Rauth. Pearl and Hillier
are new comers to this circuit and
made hosts of friends on their first
appearance.
Misses Burton and Hanley were
well received in a specialty, "Mo
ments of Melody." The three round
ers, Rick, Young and Gardner,
"brought down the house" with their
musical selections.

Come Take a Ride
A Five Passenger Closed Model I.
of the Car Men Are Praising
In the Essex Sedan
Now comes the Essex Sedan to express our
conception of closed car luxury.
The advantages of comfort and simplicity of
the touring model are retained.
The identical chassis with all its performance
qualities is used. The body has the same bewitch
ing square lines as the touring model.
By its performance and appeal through its
quality the Sedan is winning the same real praise
from motorists as distinguishes the Essex you
know.
As Well Done and as
Good a Performer
Close to a thousand Essex Sedans are already
In service.
Their owners are advertising it, just as the
touring model was made the most talked of car
of the season. .
The Essex has made its' record on every high
way. Its owners know the thrill that comes with
the ability to dominate every acceleration and
driving situation.
Moderate in first cost and upkeep, safety and
comfort in driving, and a way all its own in re
taining its performance qualities and rigidity,
even after the hardest servce, account for the
opinions you most frequently hear of the Essex.
The Sedifn offers the same advantages in
moderate cost of purchase and operation. It is
J
a small de luxe car that is easy to drive, com
fortable to ride in and capable of meeting any
operation requirement. And yet it neither ap
pears, rides nor'operates like a small car. It has
the big, costly car feeling of power and solidarity
that gives it the combined advantages of both
types.
For All Seasons
For City or Touring
You have heard what people say about the
Essex. Now note their remarks about the Sedan.
There is nothing cheap or small in its appear
ance. It is as dainty as a jewel box.
Exclusive and compact in outward design
though it is, owners are pleasingly surprised
with the roomy space inside those wide opening
doors. The luxury of it finds truth in their
comparisons with car qualities in the high priced
field.
Reputation of the Essex touring model brings
confidence with first interest in this closed model.
It gratifies every taste and wins affection by per
formance and endurance.
It is as well received as the 10,000 Essex tour
ing models now in service.
We would like you to take a ride in the Essex
Sedan. Then if you decide for it, you should
allow some time for delivery. ' The demand greatly
exceeds production.
