OMAHA'S FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Figures usually afford little satisfaction to
tht citiren who it concerned with them only
as they apply to his own particular business
Now and then one comes across tome that
turn out to be quite consoling when analysed.
Omaha peoplt have not heard a great deal
about their fire department since the matter of
forming a union and getting pay raised was dis
posed of soma months ago. They know that
such a thing exists, because they hear the tracks
going swiftly and sometimes noisily through tha
streets, and read sow and then in tha papers of
a fire that wai pot out. Beyond this, they do
not know that a department exists, so smoothly
and efficiently does it function.
In the report of E. D. Beach, chief of the
bureau of fire prevention for the state, is dis
closed some interesting information. Last year
the fire loss in Nebraska was 34 per cent less
than the year before, 959 blazes having entailed
a total loss of property amounting in value, to
$2,158,204.81, an average loss of $2,250 to each
fire. Outside, of the cities of Omaha and Lin
coln, 387 fires are reported, in which property
to the value of $1,076,140.81 was destroyed, an
average loss of $2,780; in Lincoln 136 fires did
damage amounting to $103,034.25, an average of
$757 per fire, and in Omaha 436 fires brought a
total loss of $243,768.53, an average of $559, or
less than one-fourth that of the state, and only
two-thirds that of Lincoln and one-fifth that of
the smaller cities.
This may not be conclusive proof of the
superiority of the local firemen, but it would
indicate a vigilance and skill in combating fire
that deserves commendation. As such The Bee
commends it, not only to the citizens, but to
the insurance companies who are doing business
here.
Treaty Up to the United States.
When the Entente Allies decided to ex
change with Germany ratifications of the Treaty
of Versailles, it amounted to service of notice
on the United States that its participation was a
matter for its own decision. In this light the
talk of compromise on the reservations pro
posed takes on a new character. The assertion
from the White House that certain of the pro
posed reservations would be accepted is prac
tically done away with. Late and reliable in
formation from London is to the effect that at
the conference between Lloyd George and Cle
menceau, recently carried on there, the senate
reservations were not discussed, for the reason
that the premiers felt it would be decidedly in
delicate to presume to suggest to the United
States what course should be followed. "A
wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse,"
however, and while only the most informal in
timation was possible, it is certain such
intimation was given to the effect that the
course taken by the United States would be sat
isfactory to England and France. Ambassador
Davis has been reported as having communi
cated this information to Secretary Lansing, so
that Washington is fully informed as to the at
titude of the Allies on the treaty and the League
of Nations. No reason exists to think that the
bulk of the reservations proposed are objec
tionable, or that America's presence in the
league on the terms proposed by the senate
would be resented by any. Therefore, any com
promise that may be effected will take the form
of saving the face of certain of the "swallow it
whole" group and will not materially modify
the safeguards sought to be established for the
interests of the United States.
Ralph W. Connell.
The sudden death of Ralph W. Connell is
more than a cause for shock to those who knew
him well. They will mourn for a genial friend,
whose warm nature was hidden under a brusque
manner, but whose sincerity was never known
to fail at a pinch. As a 'medical man he was
among the leaders of his profession fpr many
years, and many will gratefully recall not only
his scientific skill and knowledge, but the ten
derness that marked his relations with a patient.
Above all this, the public owes him some
thine more than is ever likely to be paid. For
years it has been Omaha's proudest boast that
this is the best city in the country for a baby to
be born in. If the rate of infant mortality has
been so reduced that it is less here than in any
of the large cities, it is because of the great
work done by Dr. Connell when serving as
health commissioner. To him fell the Augean
task of cleansing the city milk supply.
How extensive this work, and how hopeless
it seemed t the start, nobody knows better
than The Bee, which faced libel suits, personal
threats, and all manner of abuse and opposition
because it supported Dr. Connell in his cam
paign for a cleaner milk supply. If Omaha has
purt milk for its babies, and for its citizens gen
erally, it is because this campaign was fear
lessly and persistently fought through to a place
where even the dairymen found it was to their
interests to observe the regulations established,
and to the energy, zeal and scientific knowledge
of Dr. Ralph W. Connell the city is indebted for
this boon.
Geography Will Stand.
One of the scientists now in session at St.
Louis points out a very popular error, the belief
that geography was changed by the world war. It
is not so, he says. Climate, language, physical
contour and other characteristics that really de
termine the geographical divisions, of the world
are not altered by the incidence of a war. Po
litical boundaries may be arbitrarily set up or
knocked down, as they have in this connection,
but the real separation of the earth's surface
into zones or regions is not affected by the acts
of men. Physical geography presents the same
aspect, and will be studied with the same pur
pose as heretofore. And that is another point
that may be stressed in urging the proper study
of geography. Teachers of the science were
spurred into activity in the early day of the
war, trying to make the public acquainted with
the truth the professor has again expressed.
Proper inquiry into the fascinating field of
knowledge embraced in real geography wilf
more than repay for the time spent, and will
convince any of the futility of man-made boun
daries for empires.
Propaganda That Has No
' . Prop
From the Kansas City Times.
The Communist Internationale which imur
glei manifestoes out of Russia in messengers'
boots must have a queer notion of America if
it dreams such fulminations can rouse anything
but amusement in this country. Perhaps the
authors and conspirators get some thrills out
of the industry, which we suppose includes the
use of codes, the signing of oaths in blood and
all the other dark solemnities that go with the
cellar trade, but outside of that their rewards
are likely to be small.
These deluded propagandista do not even
know how to make themselves understood.
Their vocabulary of hate and destruction is
unknown to Americans. "Dictatorship of the
proletariat" has a terrific sound, of course, but
the attempt to make it a slogan in a country
that has no proletariat is really pathetic. What
these Russian chwrnheads imagine to be the
American proletariat is the class of wage earn
ers iwho nave just spent some odd millions
of dollars buying Christmas presents for their
families and friends. What a shock the Rus
sian whiskerandos would have received could
they have seen their anticipated pupils in this
country bucking the Christmas crowds in the
stores to plank down their money for the best
merchandise on the shelves I No Russian
sovieteer could have survived it.
"Down with capitalism" is another phrase
being brought in by the soviet bootleggers. The
poor muddleheads don't realize they are explod
ing this petard for their own hoisting. Capi
talism doesn't mean in America what it means in
Russia. Every man in America is a capitalist,
none more so than the workman who is saving
his earnings to go into business for himself, and
the history of American industry shows its
great recruitin is from this source. The Car
negies, the Edisons, the Schwabs, come from
the shop bench. The merchant princes come
from the counter. The railrpad magnates come
from the section. All are capitalists from the
time they get their first dime. There is some
thing exquisitely humorous in ienorant Russian
fanatics, living on plunder, trying to stampede
this class ot Americans into anarchy with
phrases hatched in Russian cellars and vodka
dens.
Perhaps there could be no Quicker wav to
disillusion the Communist Internationale than
to relieve it of the trouble of bootlegging its
literary product. Publicity may be the only ex
posure it needs. No intelligent American needs
to do more than read it to be convinced of its
silliness.
Taking the Census
Mr. Rockefeller's Gifts
The first censua was the enumera
tion of the Israelites by Moses,
1490 B. C.
In the United Kingdom the first
complete census wa taken In 1801
and since then It has been taken
every tenth year.
The first census of the United
States, in 1790, cost 144,000, and at
that the money ran out and the
names were never printed.
The first census of the British em
pire waa taken In 1871, the work be
ing done In one night. Since then a
similar census has been taken every
ten years.
The United States census of 1910
was notable In that It was the first
to be taken by the permanent census
bureau, which had been established
in 1902.
When the first census was taken
the area of the United States was
825,000 square miles, or abbut one
fourth of the present area, with less
than 30 per cent of that populated
Printed schedules were used In the
taking; of the United States census
for the first time in 1830. Previously
the enumerators had used such
paper as they happened to possess,
The first federal census showed
New York City to be possessed of a
population of 33,000. The new cen
sus is expected to show a population
or close to 6,000,000 for the metrop
olis.
The force of enumerators and
clerks employed to take the present
United States census represents a
larger body than the combined nopu
latlon of New York and Boston 130
years ago, when the first sencus was
taken.
Out of the greatest difficulties en
countered in taking the first United
states census was a religious super-
sdtion. .Many or the preachers were
violently oppoosed to the census, be
cause in Bible times a rurse fell over
the land when the children of Israel
were numbered.
During the 120 years between the
taking of the first census In 1730 and
the enumeration of 1910 the center
of population of the United States
moved westward at an average rate
of about 47 miles for each decade.
The last census showed the center
to be in the city of Bloomlngton,
lnd.
The first United states census
numbered only the inhabitants of
the country. In the decennial census
of 1810 an attempt was made for the
first time to collect Industrial sta
tistics. The data gathered along this
line was far from complete, but valu
able, nevertheless, as furnishing a
general indication of the extent and
nature of the manufacturing Indus
The taking of the census by the
British government in India is a par
ticularly difficult taski for there ques
tions of caste mysteriously obtrude.
On the occasion of the last census it
was said that hundreds of thousands
of Mussulmans and Hindus hid
themselves in the forest all night,
preferring to face the terrors of the
.lungle rather than the questioning
of a government clerk.
MUCH IN LITTLE.

enough for the man who only works six hours.

teller foundation, Mr. Rockefeller adheres to
the severely practical policy laid down by him
many years ago.
Briefly, the general education board is dedi
cated to furthering the interests of education
through existing institutions; the Rockefeller
foundation, under its charter, to oromotine "the
well-being of mankind throughout the world."
in directing special attention to the need of
more adequate salaries to members of the
teaching profession in the United States at a
time when the cost of living has enormously
increased, Mr. Rockefeller repeats an old story.
It is a situation that has been more discussed
than changed for the better. There is but one
form of relief, and it should not be left alone to
men of exceptional wealth to furnish the means.
"Co-operation with higher institutions of learn
ing in raising sums specifically devoted to the
increase of teachers' salaries," not a method re
leasing them from the obligation to do their
full share, ts expressly indicated bv the donor
as his wish.
The activities of the Rockefeller foundation
have rapidly broadened and become world-wMr
n extent. Thev will now include assistance Ui
the medical profession of Canada. A brief sum
mary in the annual report of the foundation of
the work carried on during the year 1918 in
cludes a campaign against tuberculosis in
France, against yellow fever in Guatemala and
Ecuador, for malaria control in the lower Mis
sissippi valley and hookworm control and bet
ter sanitation in 12 states of the union and 21
foreign states, the contribution to various war
work agencies of - nearly $22,000,000 in four
years, construction work on 15 buildings of a
new medical center in Peking and increased
support for missionary hospitals 'and medical
schools in China, the after-care of infantile
paralysis cases, further advances in studies in
mental hygiene and medical research through
various agencies and many similar activities of
scientific and humanitarian character.
With the funds now at its disposal the
Rockefeller foundation gains new strength for.
wider undertakings in "promoting the well
being of mankind," the noblest end to which
modern science can devote its efforts. New

On Subsidizing Literature
Some attention has been attracted in this
country by the announcement that the Schiller
stiftung of Germany, which now has a capital
of 2,500,000 marks, is planning to use the yearly
income, 91,000 marks, to subsidize living writers
rather than to support relatives of deceased
writers. '
This action brings up anew the controversy
as to whether or not art is genuinely aided by
the practice of subsidizing writers. Most of the
leading Eglish writers do not think highly of
the idea, the chief trouble with the proposal
has always lain in the difficulty of detecting real
genius. In practice mediocre writers are usu
ally selected as the beneficiaries, with the result
that genius continues to starve in the proverbial
garret. The German plan is to select the
older and definitely established writers as the
judges. That may seem a happy solution of
the problem, yet such are the vicissitudes of
literature that standards deemed sound in one
generation are usually challenged sharply by
the artists of the next. In consequence, the
older writers are too apt to hit upon writers
who are orthodox as to standards, but posses
sing no ability that rises beyond that of grace
ful limitation, whereas the real forces of the
coming generation, the 'writers who renounce
the older standards as obsolete, are ignored
as mere rebels, heretics and freaks Minne

What Shall I Be?
Answered for
.Boys
Salesman.
Br 9. H. Millar.
That hoy can talk; he ought to be
a salesman," says Uncle Hiram
Most people are like Uncle Hiram;
they think that a good line of talk
is more necessary for a salesman
than a good line to sell.
This is wrong. When we make a
list of the things you must have to
be a salesman we will put' first:
1. Something good to sell. If
you don't believe yourself that what
ou
money you
sell is worth the
ask, how are you going to convince
wiser men than you that it is?
Z. Kuthusiasm. This makes more
sales than argument, for it is catch
nig. It makes a man grab for his
pen.
3. Agreeable personality, not nec
essarily good looks. Many a homely
red-headed. Irishman can win a cor
dial handshake, where a handsomer
man of a handsomer race will get a
cold, "I'm too busy today."
4. Self-confidence. More sales
men fail because they cannot "close"
than for any other reason. It takes
nerve, and to have nerve you must
he fearlessly self-reliant. If you are
right, don't let any man run over
you.
5. Personal sales talk. A parrot
ran learn a line of jabber. It take
brains and salesmanship to pick out
the one thing that will convince you
man and present it so clearly that he
igns.
6. Straight living. Most sales are
lost after the man is half persuaded
and many when he is nine-tenths
convinced. It takes pep to put on
that extra 10 per cent. If tou 'os'
that pep the night before your sale
is gone. A ?5 date may cost Sin
more in lost commissions the next
o'aw
7. Work. It is very easy in sell
ig on the road to be content with a
three-hour day, especially when vou
ell the first man in the mortung.
Do a man's work.
Opportunities.
There are always business men
who want to sell more. A real sales
man is never out of a job. Salesmen
win promotion to executive posi
tions. The board of directcs of
the business want a president and
managers "ho can make sales.
Study Seriously.
To learn salesmanship you must
sell. Nevertheless you must study,
too. Look through the advertising
columns of a good magazine; you
will see a dozen chances to get books
or courses on salesmanship.

a x fair knowledge of shorthand,

and accurate bookkeeper to an office

of her company. The early habit of
taking pains with the .little details
called cents and working them into
an orderly account, added to her de

largely to her advancement.

The Best Cough Syrup
is Home-made.
Here's an eaar war to save $?, and
yet hare the best cough remedy
yon ever tried.
wmmmm
You've probably heard of this well
known plan of making cough syrup at
borne. But have you ever used itt
When you do, you will understand
whv thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of
a cough will quickly earn it a perma
nent place in your home. .
Into a pint bottle, pour V ounce
of Finex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup instead of sugar eyrup.
Either way, it tastes good, neer
spoils, and gives you a full pint of bet
ter cough remedy than you could buy
ready-made for three times its cost
It is really wonderful how quickly
this home-made remedy conquers a
cough usually in 24 hours or lees. It
seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or tight
cough, alts the phlegm, heals toe mem
branes, and gives almost immediate
relief. Splendid for throat tickle,
