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. Over
bay was arrested last night when a
rented car which he was driving col
lided with another car carrying
license number 153489, ' Iowa, at
Twenty-fourth and Harney streets.
The driver of the Iowa car drove
away. ' , ' '
Overbay suffered cuts about the
head and face. The car he was
driving was badly damaged.

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.
