THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919. Y LITHUANIANS DO HARD WORK OF AMERICA - Famous Chemist Jells of Im portance of People of This Nationality to the United States. P. T. Zurii of New York Gty, who has visited the local Lithuanian colony, lectured on the "Future of Lithuania." ' He pointed out the op portunities of Lithuania in an ad dress here. , , Mr. Zuris is a chemist, formerly N. Y. He has been an editor of Syracuse University Cosmopolitan Student. During the war he served ' as a chemist in the United States chemical warfare service, as a ser geant. After service, he organized the first Lithuanian shoe factory in America, at Brockton, Mass. Now he is with the Lithuanian Development corporation, which is exporting to Lithuania. , "The Lithuanians, who are 900,000 strong in America, and who live among you here in Omaha are 1,200 in number, are very litte known to you, yet .they dig your coal, dig anr smelt the iron in your foundries, fell your trees, clear the lands for new cities, slaughter the cattle and pack them for the market," he said. In a word they do all the hard work. Yet these people, although all peaceful workingmen, they demand, com paratively speaking, high wages and are willing to work for them. This recessarily means a higher standard of living. "The chief Lithuanian centers in America are Wyoming, Lehigh and Shenadoah valleys, i. e., hard coal regions of Pennsylvania. Here there ara over 250.O0Q. The tailor- ing of New York City and Brooklyn is practically carried on by the Lith uanians. Boston and its cluster. of small towns, engaged in production of boots and shoes, are great Lith uanian centers. The well known Brockton shoes are, to a great de gree, Lithuanian products. Chicago has 100,000 Lithuanians, who are chiefly employed in packing houses. Your own city has 1,200, whose chief occupation is in packing houses. "You meet these people ' every day, work with them and participate - in all walks of life, yet you do not know them. The Lithuanians of America have given 40,000 soldiers, purchased over $36,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds and did their bit so that the Americans might aid them when the time comes. "The Lithuanians come from the western part of Europe. Up to the 16th century Lithuania has been a free country. Its people have lived on Baltic shores from the remotest ages. Tacitus in his works refer ring to Sudenai, Galindae, et Trakf (the three chief branches of Lith uanians), refers to them as 'peace ful, hospitable and the most ancient inhibitants of Europe. Further, he points out that they are "superior in civilization, for they have carried on agriculture when Helvelli, Gauls and other roving tribes, from which the present Europe sprung, were yet in a primitive stage." Two Dozen Quarts of Whisky Brought Carpenter Trouble Detectives arrested H. B. Kirwin, carpenter for the Cudahy Packing company, at his home, 5131 South Twenty-third street, Thursday nights The officers say they found 24 quarts of whisky hidden in, a tloset at his home. In police court Friday Kirwin ad mitted having the whisky, which he said he bought for his own use. He said he paid $142.50 for 12 quarts and that he had the oth'er 12 quarts left over before the state went dry. The court assessed a fine of $100 and costs and ordered the liquor confiscated and destroyed. Driver Injured In Collision Fined $10 for Drunkenness A fine of $10 and costs was levied upon Ray Overbay, Millard hotel, in Central police court yesterday on a' charge of drunkenness. I , A charge of reckless ' driving against him was dismissed.

CENTRAL TYPEWRITER EXCIIAflGE D. 4121. 1905 Farnam St. 1 What Arthur Walters Brought to Madge. Despite the assiduous interest in my convalescence which Major Grantland displayed, an interest which never permitted my sick room to lack fresh roses, he was not the first grown-up ' masculine caller I had when my fractured rib had healed sufficiently to permit of my walking around downstairs and into the garden. It was a far different sort of man whose card Katie brought to me the first day I was downstairs. She tendered it at the end of her fingers s if it were something that would bite. An Insistent Caller "I joost tired sweeping dot bunch of soup greens off front porch," she said pertly. "He coom every day for two, tree days, say he want see you. I tell him nothings doing till next week, but he coom joost same.. Missis Underwood she say bring everybody to her, but he never have time to stay.- She ask me vot he look like, and ven I tell her she say he probably some young book agent, and tell me to say you never home, he get tired cooming. He never give me dot card before, but he saw you in yard joost now, and say bring dot card to you qfeeck. Vot I say? Tell heem get qveeck to hell out of here?" "Katie I Katie 1" I- reproved, re pressing a smile with difficulty, for my little maid's adventures in Amer ican slang and mild profanity are irresistibly funny sometimes. "You must not say such things." "I know, I always forget," Katie returned with' superb nonchalance. "But you pleese let me tell dot empty can on front steps joost dis vunce vot I said?" Her eyes were laughing, her lips pursed and pleading, and I knew that she was anxious to save me the possible ennui of seeing a per sistent stranger. But the name on the engraved card which she had handed me was not strange to me, although I had never seen the man who owned the cognomen. v ARTHUR WALTERS. Walters, Hines & Gibson, 79 Front Street, Attorneys-at-Law. x Bayview, L. I. One of the most lovable girls in my class in the Bayview high school bore the name of Esther Walters, and I knew from her girlish com ments that this must be the idolized brother, "Art," of whom she had so often spoken. That the young man was a stanch friend of Kenneth Stockbridge I also knew, and my decision to see him was taken in a moment. . ... "Take Mr. Walters into the liv ing .room, Katie," I said with quiet soberness, the manner which always best subdues my volatile little maid, "and say that I will be there di rectly." , ' She looked at me shrewdly. The Sealed Letter. "All right. I feex." sh acquiesced, and in another moment I heard her assuring my caller that "Meesis Graham, she coom in double qveeck." , . ,.,',, TLf fire imnrMsmnlof Mr. Wal- j . - , ..-. h cnranor to his feet at my entrance was of extreme boyishness, but a second look told me mat fle was much older than he seemed, Vi, in far thf Mrlv thirties were not far away from him if he had not already entered tnem. - pui vnnnor nr old. he was a most pre possessing chap, and I felt the tre mors which had seized me at the sight of the word "attorney one AA in the nresent state of uncertainty surrounding the mys tery of Milly Stockbridge's aeatn vanish at my first look into the steady hazel eyes of the young so- UC"Mr. Walters, I believe," I said, .ni,'.ilv "I am Mr. Graham. I have heard of you often from your sister, Esther." He laughed boyishly. "Not more often than I nave heard of vou from the same source, he countered promptly. "I only hope her accounts of me are as enthu siastic as those she gives of you. "They are the last word in en thusiasm," I smiled, and then as we sat down in chairs facing each oth er I saw that the young attorneys face grew grave. "I must only detain you a moment, Mrs. Graham, for I find that be cause of my friendship for Kenneth Stockbridge I am constantly shad owed. But I have a letter for you from nim which he could trust to no one else, and which he insisted that I must deliver only'jnto your own hands. I know-nothing of its T An know that if you are ever asked if I brought you any message from Kennem atocKonagc you must deny it positively. Say that my business with youi was a purely personal one, invent any ex cuse you piease, Dut give no one an inklinc that mv friend has ever sent you a message of any sort You will promise tnisr "Of course." I said simply, but T fu aimin thi shadow of intoler able mystery and crime enwrapping me as I spoke. (Continued Monday.) Retired Ranchman Dies at -Home fore at Age of 76 James M.
