(Special ; Telegram.)-Coach Schissler's Ne- - braska Cornhuskers galloped to the second victory of tHe season Thurs- day by walloping the Morningside " Maroons of Sioux City, la., by the f decisive score of 39 to 9. The Huskers bowed to the crowd 1 ' In three distinct formations as they ' appeared Wednesday, when the Ma roons were beaten 37 to 14. The " "speed squadron," Bekins, center; Smith and Russell, forwards,' and Newman and Bailey, guards, opened ; first. Capt. Schellenberg, by reason of ' considerable sweet floor work, in which the Maroons were held prac " tically helpless, paved the way to numerous goals by Patty and Payn- ter, former Omaha high I school r stars. ' . v 1 Maroon Guard Feature!. . '.. The spectacular guarding lof J Rorapaugh, Maroon safety, who hails from Norfolk, Neb., was a feature. - A. Smith, Husker forward who got away for four thrilling shots in Wednesday's clash, was held with : but one goal today. Wenig, center, and acting captain, played well. The "relay system" of the Husk ers, by which three complete teams are thrown into the play consecu tively, was responsible largely for (j-. the Maroon defeats. Summary.

M.C. A. gym... - ' . . I he contest from start to ftnisn was hard fought and was interesting, and as the1 game was coming' to ah end it looked as though it would re quire the extra five-minute .period, hut through an unfortunate accident Capt. Ike Mahoney, left forward of the 'Montclaires, who starred throughout the. battle, missed the basket when he threw the ball a little high. Had hemade the goal the game would have ended a tie and an extra period would haVe been neeessary to 'decide the championship.

Concave Screen For Movies Given Trial In Ney York Theater New York, Dec. 18. A concave motion picture screen that may revolutionize the movies -was tried out at a local theater this morning. It is said to give the effect of a third dimension an appearance of thickness or depth that relieves eye strain. A group of- scientists wit nessed the experiment. Dr. Louis Pech, head of the fa culty of medicine at the University of Montpelier, France, the inventor, i supervised the exhibition. Dr. Pech inscribes the relief from eye strain I to his belief that the eye functions normally when it sees things of three dimensions, even if the ap pearance of the third dimension is an illusion.

Ineffici ency, carelessness and a disregard of the provisions of the act under which it operated were charged against the United States housing corporation by the senate public building and grounds investigating subcommittee in a report recom mending that steps be taken to re cover many thousands of dollars alleged by the subcommittee to have been expended improperly by the corporation. : . s Mismanagement by the corpora tion, the report as submitted to the senate charged, resulted in its fail ure to have ready for occupancy a single building until almost two months after the armistice was signed, or eight months after the passage of the appropriation act. Although citing specific .eilbendi tures sufficiently grave to warrant the government in entering civil suits for restitution, the report ex presses the opinion that in most of these cases the persons who profited will restore voluntarily the alleged nearned portion. Want Money Refunded. 'Other recommendations made' by the subcommittee provided that, architects who, it is charged, were paid excessively for "overhead" ex penses, be called upon to give the committee an exact statement of the amount of their overhead ex penditures. These employes of the corporation, the committee believes, were not parties to intentional viola tion of the law and "if they are actuated by the patriotic principles attributed to them they will refund ; the sums paid them in excess of the exact cost of the overhead. 1 he amount the subcommittee considers recoverable from this source is placed $50,000. Civil suits to recover $30,000 spent for "extras" and $16,000 charged to subletting of labor by contractiMg firm also was received by the com mittee in the event of a failure to return the money voluntarily. The "extras" were charged as incident of the construction of women's dormitories in Washington for women war workers, in connection with which it was alleged original estimates were radically altered in dicating a willingness to "substi tute the contractor's demands for the estimate division's judgement." Regularity of a loan for $500,000 made to the Springfield Consoli dated Water company of Philadel phia also was questioned in the committee's report, together with "bther loans to railroads, street railways and utility companies." The latter concerns were not identified. Scrutinization of the loans by the Treasury department was recommended with demand for additional security where inade quate collateral has been provided. Charges of inefficiency and bad management were more prominent in the report than references to ovr payments. While attention is called to the denials of the officials of the corporation that they intend ed to let contracts for more than the appropriation act provided, the report declares the officials had planned, according to, the records secured by the committee, the ex penditure of $145,175,605, although the amount of the appropriation was $100,000,000. Practically all buildings erected Proposed Increase in - Electrical Rates Will Not Hit Small Consumer The Nebraska Power company is contemplating an increase ofiits power rates to large consumers, but the increase, if ordered, will not affect the small consumers who are now paying the 6-cent rate, officials of the company said. , W. D. McHugh, attorney for tie power coinpany, has conferred with Corporation Counsel Lambert, whe advised that the ordinance, fixing the present rates will not perrifit a rate of more than 6 cents, but Mr. Lambert, did not see any obstacle to the company increasing the block rates below the 6-cent rate. J. E. Davidson, vice presidenl and general-manager of the Nebras ka Power company, said: "It is evi dent to the public that since 1917 our operating expenses have been materially increased on account of the advance of the cost of coal, labor, taxes and materials which we use. - We have tried to swallow the bitter pill of these burdens, but we have reached a point. where we must consider a prospective increase of coal, on account of the advance of miners' wages and also an ad vance of freight rates. ; We have been trying to stave off and will not make any increase of rates unless it is absolutely necessary." ' by the corporation were "of a per manent character, the comrqittee re ported, notwithstanding the provi sion that they , be of a temporary character. The failure of the cor poration to produce a completed house until the first of the present year, was pointed to by the cpmmit- tee as indicative ot the cumbrous nature of the organization." r- ' rf.
