DR. J, E. JENKINS
ADDRESSES MEET
OF WOMAN'S CLUB
Declares Fair Sex Is Taking
Its Place In the Great
Movements of the
Day.
A painting by Bert Feenan,
brother of Miss Emma Feenan of
the art department, Omaha Wom
an's club, was presented to the
Americanization committee of the
club, Miss Katherine Worley, direc
tor, at the opening meeting held
Monday afternoon at the Y. VV. C.
A.' The painting will be used as a
prize for night school work in con
nection with Americanization. Miss
Worley reported on activities of the
Americanization workers saying
that every agency which could ad
vance the cause had been employed.
"We have consulted with the board
of education, have worked through
the city mission, have used inter
preters, utilized foreign newspapers,
and have had the assistance of
parish priests."
Mrs. John Haarman reported en
thusiastically on art, literature and
music at the Fairbury convention
and Mrs. R. L. Frantz gave a clever
review of an address by Mrs.
Frank Ambler Pattison of New Jer
sey on "Scientific Management in
the Home."
To Endow Nursery Bed.
Upon motion of Dr. Kathleen Sul
livan of the health department, and
approval of the directory, the club
voted to endow a bed for the Day
Nursery, which will open in Jacobs
Hall early in December. Mrs. W.
H. Hatteroth was made recording
secretary, succeeding Mrs. James C.
Dahlman, resigned.
The program for the day was in
charge of the parliamentary law de
partment, Mrs. R. E. McKelvey,
leader. It consisted of a Mac
Dowel! composition played by Miss
Delia Erixon, who was presented a
bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums,
and an address by Dr. J. E. Jenkins
on "The Value of a Knowledge of
Parliamentary Law."
"Women are coming to take
their places in great movements oi
the day and also to effect laws of
society and th,e structure of govern
ment," said Dr. Jenkins in opening.
"It is not enough to have good in
tentions, but one must have saga
city as well in dealing with groups
in deliberative law. Nor is right
alignment sufficient; one must
know when to make wise compro
mise. And as a last resort, familiar
ity with principles of parliamentary
procedure are a most valuable
weapon." To illustrate this point,
the nomination of Woodrow Wil
son, and the present situation in
congress, were cited.
End Greater Than Means.
"After all, parliamentary law and
practice are but means to ends and
the end is far greater than the
means. It is well to be acquainted
with the means, but they are grasp
ed with comparative ease if we see
the gravity, the necessity for, ind
the sacredness of good legislation."
Dr. Jenkins decried the ignorance
of the personnel in many -of our
modern legislatures. He discussed
the difference between constitu
tional' and statutory law, saying that
too often our constitutions contain
limitations which should be sub
jects for statutory enactment, i
Among the important functions
of government named by Dr. Jenk
ins, were: More direct legislation,
proportionate representation, popu
lar nominations, civil service reform
(and reform of some civil service re
form, he added), home rule for
cities, .non-partisan city elections,
government insurance, public regu
lation and ownership of monopolies,
or anything likely to be monopolized
among the necessities of life, and
employment "Just as slavery is a
thing of the past, so should be the
unemployment of anyone who needs
work and is willing to perform it."
Sheriff Sells 25,000
Empty Beer Bottles
for $400 at Auction
Twenty-five thousand empty beer
bottles were sold at auction yester
day by Sheriff Mike Clark to Nathan
Steinberg in the basement of the
court house for $400.
The bottles have been emptied in
the last week by a force of deputy
sheriffs under an order of the dis
trict court. They were taken from
the premises of Anton Larson on
West Center street in the summer
of 1917 and later ordered con
fiscated. This beer was stored outside of
the Larsen home. The sheriff did
not take a large amount of beer
stored in Larsen's cellar, consider
ing that he had the right to have
this, as it was in his dwelling.
Much of the beer was stolen after
the riot from the vault in the base
ment of the court house where it
was stored. Many holes were cut
with wire nippers in the heavy wire
netting of the vault and the bottles
were then removed by reaching be
tween the steel bars.
Says City Sold Him
Potatoes, but Failed
4 to Deliver Them
J. F. Reese, Forty-ninth and
Mason streets, complains that two
and one-half bushels of potatoes
bought and paid for November 6 at
the city hall, where the mayor s; de
partment held a sale, had not been
delivered when he addressed the
following letter to The Bee Mon
day:
"Eleven days ago, or, to be more
exact, on November 6, at the city
hall my wife bought two and one
half bushels of potatoes, paying
$4.50 for the same to be delivered
the next day. They have never
been delivered and all we get from
city officials is promise of delivery
tomorrow, but tomorrow never
comes. I am wondering if it will
be the same way with the potatoes
and if they will never come. Now
this sale may have been only a little
joke of some of the public jokers,
hut if such is the case, I fail to find
$4.50 worth of fun if
My HEART and
My HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
How Mother Graham "Disposed of
Major Grantland.
I have alwavs Drided myself upon
my self-control, but every iota of it
was shredded from me by the in-:
creasing pain, different from any
thing I had ever before experienced,
which tore at my -side after Major
Grantland had put me down upon
my bed.
"Oh. what is it? I gasped wildly.
looking up at him in an unreasoning
panic.
He put out his hands and tooK
mine in a strong grip.
"Don't be frightened." he said. "I
do not think it is dangerous, but I
am afraid you have fractured a rib.
The physician, of course, will be
able to ascertain this point definitely
when he arrives. But just now there
js nothing for you except to be your
intrepid, natural self."
My mother-in-law, who had busied
herself with putting in order the
trifles scattered upon my dressing
table, gave one of her characteristic
snorts.
"Ma or Grant and." she said crisp
ly, "if you have quite finished reas
suring my daughter-in-law, perhaps
you will be so kind as to let me at
tend to her. I must undress her and
put her to bed. Tlease send the
maid up as you go downstairs."
Madge Protests.
"Oh!" I exclaimed in a frenzy of
humiliation at the insulting tone and
words, "I am so sorry. It is shame
ful." . ..
"Don't give it another thought,
he said in a low tone, pressing my
hands slightly and laying them
down upon the bed. Then he turn
ed to my mother-in-law, and his
words were as measured and cold as
the dripping of an icicle.
"Mrs. Graham must be moved a,
little as possible before the physician
arrives. Movement is torture to her.
Remove her shoes, cut her clothing
wherever it is impossible to remove
it without movemen i'pon her part.
Above everything keep her quiet un
til the physician' comes."
His voice had the ring of one ac
customed to command instant obe
dience and respectful attention. But
those under his authority had been
soldiers, not an irascible old woman.
She threw back her head haught
ily and assumed her most crushing
g'rande dame manner.
"You will oerhans pardon me,
Major Grantland, if I remind you
that I am the mother-in-law of Dr.
Braithwaite. whose work in Fans
attracted a good deal of favorable
comment during the war. I was a
member ofiis household for years
and I do not need your advice or
that of any , other nonmedical man
upon the proper procedure to follow
with a possible fractured rib preced
ing the arrival of a physician. '
A Puzzle.
She- Was magnificent. I had to ad
mit it, despite my resentment at
at her unjustified rudeness to
Major Grantland. But I was start
led to Jiear the officer laugh boy
ishly, for it was so odd and curious
a transition from his ordinarily
grave moods. But evidently he was
sportsman enough to recognize the
point she had scored against him.
"Madam, I acknowledge with ad
miration your Parthian shot," he
said, bowing in his awkward yet dig
nified manner. "I will await your
pleasure as to the questions you
wish to ask me downstairs. Good
afternoon." He strode to the, door, closed it
behind him and I heard his foot
steps going down stairs. I kept my
eyes closed and waited in almost a
nervous frenzy of apprehension for
what Mother Graham would say.
I was sure that she would make
some caustic remark about the offi
cer's carrying me upstairs, yet she
had effectuattv thwarted my own
protest. Usually I can follow her
mental processes pretty accurately,
but this was one of the times when
she completely baffled me as to what
her brain concepts might be.
My absolute astonishment may
be imagined when her voice came to
my ears with a softness and a gen
tleness that would make the tradi
tional cooing dove hide her head in
hopeless envy.
"Is the pain so bad, child? But I
know it must be. I had one once,
myself. Now if that jackanapes of
an officer had gone about his busi
ness when he got you up here, in
stead of palavering around, I would
have had Katie up here and we
would have had you as comfortable
as you could be. Of eourse I
couldn't stop the pain, but I could
have gotten all these bothersome
things off.
"Drat the men, anyway. There's
not one pf 'em has the sense of a
grasshopper. And where in creation
is that ape of a girl? He certainly
.nust have tol4 her to come up here,
unless he's gone completely out of
his seven senses, as I more than
half believe."
And I wondered, worriedly, if
there was a deeper meaning to her
running diatribe against the officer
tvan appeared on the surface.

Don't wait for riches, or old age.
At San Diego, California, any man who has
won a competence may have his "cottage by
the sea," his ocean view, his daily swim, and
a home wreathed in year-round flowers and
garlanded in perpetual green.
In this modern city of 85,000 inhabitants, more
homes and streets overlook bay and ocean
than in any other city in America.
Thousands of attractive residences above the down'
town streets look out across the blue and silver bay,
the white beaches and noble headlands, to the
Coronado Islands of the Mexican Republic and the
sea'rimmed horizon.
From the nestling bungalows of Point Loma, facing
bay and business city and the mountain sunrises,
the decks of warships and merchantmen steaming
in and out of harbor seem but a biscuit-toss away.
Roses bloom everywhere in January as in June.
There's sunshine more than 350 days each year, and
