He died after firing two shots in to his own body and a love affair was the cause. Omaha is wide-eyed, speculative. forgiving and condemning of the boy who took 'his life because of unrequited love. The cause is be ing discussed by those who read and those who knew the Patter son family and the Yaeger family the parents of. Francos Yaeger, his sweetheart. Some say that modern parents encourage the "date making" in their young children who have no discretion and no judgment. There is not much defense for such par ents. Yet, I am wondering if they are as guilty of committing a sin in this direction as they are in omitting to correct tendencies. Children naturally follow the lead of their elders. At first they like the idea of making engagementi with- children of the opposite se. Parents smile and tjink this cute. Sometimes it is. But there is a far more serious side to life which is being entirely overlooked. Franklin was but 16 and there is no doubt that he loved little 14-year-old Frances Yaeger a mere child who should not have been permitted to "make dates" ' with anyone. During the 'teens, we must all admit, boys and girl, go througn the most trying period of their lives. Yet, how few stop to con sider that these years should have the most serious consideration of the parents. They are leaving child hood to enter manhood and woman hood. Their minds are veritable brain-storms. They feel more keen ly, suffer more intensely, - than at any other time in their lives. The average person thinks of a child according to the years it has lived. This is the easy way the way of least menetal resistance, so parents and the world at large: take it. . Franklin Patterson suffered th; tortures known only to rare souis at 16, no doubt. Pie deeply loved little Frances Yaeger, a child who should be playing with children in stead of thinking of dates and love affairs. Children are not pieces of dough, but living human beings, souls just the same as the oldest man or woman on earth. They should be given serious consideration and judged, not by the years they have lived, but by the thoughts they think. Because Franklin Patterson's mind and heart were far in advance of his experience and judgment, he lies dead today and the mourners cannot bring him back with regrets. U. P. Manager, Home from Rail Wage Meet, Sees Bright Future YVT M. Jeffers. general manager of the Union Pacific railroad, returned from Washington, D. C, Sunday after a month's absence, during which time he has represented the central western region at a hearing of railroad firemen before the fed eral wage board. Mr. Jeffers would not comment on the labor conditions as it affects the railroads. "I believe the future for the rail roads of this country is bright," he said, "in spite of the many labor dis putes. I was merely a witness at hearings in Washington. "Any plans for the Union Pacific railroad, when it is returned to pri vate ownership, would be prema ture at the present time. We have all we can do to handle the business which we have on hand."

Skinner's the Best Macaroni and Spaghetti Recipe Book Free Omaha High School Is Shrouded In Gloom Over Boy's Suicide Central high, school was shrouded in gloom yesterday over the death of Franklin 'S. Patterson, 16-year-old sophomore, 3333 Pine street, who, Saturday night, shot himself while attending a stag party of his fel- lovV-students at the home ot Al bert Evans, 3015 South'Thirty-third street. Despondency over an miat uation for a class-mate, Frances Yaeger, 14 years old, 2959 Harris street, is the reason assigned for the suicide, his intimate friends say. Patterson's last words as he stag gered from the room after firing the fatal shot were: "Tell her I'm all right." His fraternity brothers of the Sigma Tau Nu, a high school organization, who were present at the. party, held him as he gasped the words. Funeral services will be held at 2 tomorrow afternoon at Stack & Falconer's undertaking parlors. Burial will be in West Lawn. Six members of the boy's class will act as pall-bearers.
