THE BEE; OMAHA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1820. 6, PROTEST MADE vinton school , nw pd nmn nc I depopulated by ON GRADING OF i mildjnfluenza ST. MARY'S AVE;!Hta' cTiTsf'T ,n' I speclion, Days the Situation City Council Committee On the Not Dangerous. Whole Hears Complaints Made by Property Owners. Proposed grading of St, Marys avenue, Seventeenth to Twenty fifth street, and Howard street west of Twentieth street, brought 'pro testing property owners before the city council committee of the whole yesterday morning. 's Among the principal objectors were F. H. Davis and Mrs. F. II. Cole, representing Clarkson hos pital. Plans for this gr-ading pro jejet show a cut of 11 feet in front of the hospital. A cut of five feet would be made at Howard and Twenty-second streets. The protests were all against the grading of Howard street, which is necessary in tonnectiun with the St. Marys avenue grading. This is one of the projects worked out last year by the city planning commission and the city engineer ing department. Engineers con tend that this improvement will btnefit the adjacent property as well as the entire city, and they further insist that it is necessary for the proper development of Omaha. The city council will hear argu ments on both sides before taking final action. Similar protests were heard before 1 the Dodge street grading project was finally approved by the city council, i T V Kimball, architect, said: "It is a question of natural law, rather than of opinion, that this district should be graded. It will have to be done some time, and the longer it is postponed, the more it will cost. The grading of St. Marys avenue will give an outlet to Twenty-fourth street which is becoming the great north and south highway. "Six yean ago I urged that street car lines be not allowed on Twenty- fourth street until it had been widen ed .and straightened. It would have cost about $100,000 at that tipe to have widened and straightened this street. The work is, going to be done soon at a cost of about $1,000, 000." . Etifity-five children of the lower grades of Vinton school, Twenty first street and Boulevard avenue, were absent yesterday on account of the prevalence of a disease which Dr. J. F. Edwafds, health commis sioner, believes may be a mild orm of influenza. Most of these children were ex cluded by school nurses. No spe cific case of influenza has been re ported by any physician from this school district. Coughing and sore throat were symptcms affecting one-sixth of the enrollment of the school,' but only in the lower grades. The health commissioner directed Dr. Allyn Moser, assistant, to make a thorough examination and to have bacteriological tests made of cul tures. A school nurse will remain in this school district until the situa tion has been checked. Dr. Edwards madeNa personal ex amination of Vinton school and re ported that the sanitation of the building was satisfactory in every detail. v The doctor also visited nine homes of stricken rhi!drin KT A ... ..,11.. : 4. nifi oi.v. itaujr aci i- ous as yet in the situation at Vinton school," the health commissioner said. "It appears to be an epidemic of colds resembling in some respects mild influenza. We are keeping a close check on the school.

I'JHAT OXYGEN DOES FOR THE G BODY Without it there could be no living body since without v oxygen there cannot be any life. Oxygen acts on the blood, and by constantly cleansing and revitaliz ing it, converts the blood into a vigilant guardian against the in sidious attacks of disease. It assists every natural force in the body. It makes it possible for the blood to build up what the stress of daily activity, over-work, over-exertion, and over-taxing of the body .:ars down. Waste products are cast out new cells grow the hollow cheeks ifill out and take on the ruddy glow of health. The spring conies back to the step, the whole body tingles with health and ritali- ty, while the brain is cleared to meet the battle with the problems of life. If the supply of oxygen is not sufficient the engine runs down vital force wanes the fire goes out . and the whole machinery of the body stops. But when the blood is vitalized with oxygen the complicated structure of the cells of the body is broken fown, and the energy liberated that drives the human engine. REOLO, the wonderful discov ery of Dr. A. L. Reusing, makes rich red blood vitalized with oxy gen, iron and the cell-salts that the blood requires to maintain health and vigor. It stimulates the ap petite, aids digestion, tones up the heart and nervous system, rapidly increases the red blood cells and Isends through the entire body a stream of vitalized health-restoring blood, that nourishes every cell of the tissues, blood, nerves, brain and bones. ' - Healthy blood makes the whole body healthy. - The cheeks glow, the eyes soarkle, the step becomes light and elastic and the whole body thrills with the vigor and vitality of Derfect health. If you are not feeling welltry REOLO. It is not expensive. Each package contains 100 pleasant, taseless tablets, enough for two weeks' treatment, and it only costs one dollar.

When I was in Chicago some days ago a man with whom I was dis cussing the industrial problem sud denly asked: "What are you going to do about me?" "What do you mean?" "Well I'm the Innocent By stander. I'm the man who gets the brickbat intended for "one of the belligerents. I'm the Public. What ever happens 1 get hurt. I have dealt in former articles with the attitude of various groups of employers and employes toward the present industrial unrest. It is now important to consider the point of view of the "great third party." The awakening of the public to the seriousness of the present -mrest, its threat to American institutions, is in some ways, the greatest news in the whole situation. We are in the midst of a sudden, powerful, and, at present, crude re assertion of public rights. It is as though the American giant had sud denly awakened or just returned from war overseas! and finding dis order all about, had acted with ter rific force and direction. It is the American way we may not at all approve it, but there it is! to act first and inquire about it afterwards. I recall a saying of the early days in the north woods, when the lum bermen first went in: "Cut the trees, ask about the lines afterwards." There is much of this spirit still left' in America. Pounce on Disturbers. So we have pounced right and left upon disturbers with little inquiry and less understanding tossed one handful of them back to Russia and evidently propose to toss still oth ers. No one knows the number of thousands or the fleet of ships re quired to take them! A stupendous business! We have raided the offi ces and homes of both wild and tame radicals, sometimes with legal authority and sometimes without; we .have choked off radical orators; turned out radical members of the legislature and now propose the most sweeping and drastic legisla tion in the world for dealing with disturbers. One bold stroke at what seemed a- threat ,to public rights and public order the police strike at Boston has made a pres idential candidate! Deep Instinct Underlying. ' It is not the way they do it in England, nor yefNn France; it is our way, and must be so accepted and dealt with. It is our way, and behind it, ruth: less as it is, and little as many of us can approve the methods employed, there is a deep instinct that the sel fish forces of cliques, groups, inter ests, whether of labor or capital, in American life have grown too strong, and that "there must," as one leader expressed it, "be some kind of a new-deal." The causes of the present disor der and unrest reach far back and deep down; the war merely acceler ated developments already under way. At the bottom lies the popu lar discontent, which has been grow ing for years, with the economic ar rangements of society; a feeling that they are unjust and undemocratic; a feeling that while there have been enormous developments in machin ery and business organization, the social and political structure has not kept pace with them. This feeling is not peculiar to America; it is world-wide. Someone has said that the 'ereat- est invention of the "wonderful cen tury" was not the steam engine, or the dynamo, or wireless telegraphy, but that extraordinary and potent device, unrestricted social organiza tion. , ' Groups everywhere that felt oo- pressed, or wanted protection, or privilege, organized to get it Capi talists organized, combined, trusti fiedand succeeded beyond the dreams of avarice. Labor organized and became powerful. Prohibition ists organized and dried up the country. Women organized and got the vote. Voluntary social organiza tion has for the last 25 years been humanity s magic wand. It , would do anything! It has built up a won derful technique of its own. It knows how to get monev. use Droo- aganda, influence"" elections, force legislators.. It is a wonderful tool- used sometimes for good ourooses. sometimes for wholly selfish purposes. Old and New Contrasted.' Consider more specifically labor organization. I remember well the little, dismal, smoky rooms over sa loons that used to represent the typical labor union headquarters of 25 years ago. I thought of the con trast the other , day when I . visited the fine hall it "tost several hundred thousand dollars built by the Street' Car Men's union of Chicago. Once the movement demonstrated its success in improving the condi tions of liie for working men and it was the only way they had it spread' like wildfire. I was amazed the other day to look at the lists of unions affiliated with one . of the principal city central bodies; school teachers, actors, newspaper, writers, architects, nurses. They are dll com ing in. Public employes are com ing in: policemen, postmen. The movement is even, penetrating the rarified atmosphere where authors and college professors are supposed to dwell. I received a communication the other day from the Authors' league, of which 1 am a member, that read strangely like many a trade union document only the pantsmakers and hodcarriers have had longer ex perience and know better how to do it We authors have gone at the business 'n our "labor union" of standardizing contracts making bet ter terms with our employers the. predatory and shamefully plutocratic publishers and working for more pay and better living conditions. "As a result of six years of un remitting effort," remarks this docu ment, "the author enjoys a new standing and a greater security thrfh at any other time, in the history of the profession." ; You see what our union does! We're better off than erer Shake speare was, or Dickens or Thacker ay, or Cervantes, or Goethe. We're securer; we have a new standing, and organization did it! College Man'-s Point. I live in a college town, and all about are college professors. They complain bitterly of cold and hunger and long hours of work and low pay; I hear that their living condi tions are being investigated not only by the government but by at least one foundation.' The union is the only remedy! As I say, this tendency toward group organizations has gone to great lengths in our society. It has been a" powerful centrifugal influ ence, disintegrating our life into thousands of small, warring groups, societies, factions each seeking its own advancement, its own security, regardless of anything else. This has applied to both employers and employes. One reason why political life has. reached such a low ebb in America why politics attracts so poor a quality of leadership is because vital men who really want some thing done feel surr of getting it through outside Organizations than through the indirect and cumbrous machinerjf politics. In its essence this strong, crude impulse toward a new public order represents a powerful reaction from these disintegrating tendencies. For years we were hammering selfish capitalistic organizations we are still at it and now we are hammering labor organizations. We don't want either Gary or Gompers to boss us; to control our lives or force their will upon us. v We have had one or two recent object lessons of stunning force. The entire 110,000,000 of us have seen our business paralyzed, our production cut off in the steel in dustry because Gary and Gompers could not agree. The 110,000,000 of us have suffered still more acutely because 400,000 of us who are coal miners stopped producing a basic necessity of life. There was never demonstration of group interest Deiore in America such an acute against public interest. No wonder the American giant is angry blindly angry and beats about in a kind of berserkian rage not at all particular as to what heads he hits, or how. A New Sense Abroad. If this rage, however, were the only expression of the public inter est, the outlook would be dark in deed. But it is not. While there are powerful forces using the fine burst of passion for a "new ideal," for "public rights," for "law . and order" in America to serve their own selfish interests using it as a smoke-screen to conceal their own purposes there is, it seems to me. a new sense abroad that law and order must be based upon a real understanding of the new con ditions and upon a solid foundation of justice. Never before has there, been such a number of inquiries from all sides and by all kinds of organizations; or such a desire to get at the truth. We have had government inquiries one commission now sitting which have aroused unusual public interest. It is nothing that, the presidents' first commission failed; at least, it failed dramatically, with the protagonists of the opposing issues clearly re vealed. On what may be called the side of the capitalists the awakening is marked. The other day in the office of oneof the notable figures of Wall Street where one would least ex pect to find such a sentimental saw framed and hanging on the wall this quotation from a speech by Mr. Asquith, delivered in January of last year: "The old system has broken down. War was it? final declaration of in solvency. New factors are at work. Science not only has said its last words, but is airly to be described as still only lisping the alphabet of anihilation." New Methods Devised. Organizations such as chambers of commerce and merchants' associa tions have been working on the problem. They all begin with the as sumption that the old system is at least cracking, if not, as Asquith says, broken down, and that new methods must be devised to meet the situation. I have before me. for ex ample, the report of the Merchants' association ot New York, which at tributes the difficulty to the greed and blindness of both groups labor and capitaland suggests the follow; ing remedies which are very differ ent in tenor from those which wonld have been recommended by a similar organization a few years ago: "The recognition by both employ ers and employes that the determina tion to achieve national prosperity rather than to enforce maximum selfish returns should be the control ling motive in industry. ' "The establishment of a recog nized and permanent method of con ference between the employer and his employes. "The limitation of the economic law of supply and demand as a ba sis of labor policy by the utilization of a more human doctrine." The Chamber of Commerce df the United States has also made public the careful report of a committee which lays down 13 "principles of industrial relations, a Among these principles are the following: "The public interest requires ad justment of industrial relations by peaceful methods. Right to Organize. "The right of workers to organizer-is as clearly recognized as that of any other element or part of the community. "Industrial harmony and prosper ity .will be most "effectually pro moted by adequate representation of the parties in interest." The church, which represents a great conservative opinion in Amer ica, is moving as never before, try ing, to understand and meet the new conditions and problems. In one churchI know on a recent Sunday morning prt large men's class dis cussed "The Relation Between Wag'es and Production;" another was studying Prof. Rauschenbusch's book on social problems in the light of Christian teaching, and a wom en's class was considering "The Health of the Community." One great church movement has been spending tens of thousands of dollars making an investigation ot the steel strike, and one need only refer to the social reconstruction i program of the Federal Council of Uiurches in America and the pro nouncement of he Catholic war council of the United States to be convinced of the deep and serious interest of the churches in this prob lem. Stand of Church. In a recent statement the Unita rian Church of America says: "The claim to a more equitable distribution of the profits of in dustry is not only clamorous but just." ' " A sense that the old system is unjjust and needs revision per meates all groups of our society. A prominent business man took from his pocket the other day and read to me this paragraph: "The rapid growth of great cities, tle enormous masses of immigrants (many of them ignorant of our lan guage) and the gteatly increased complications of -life have created conditions under, which the- provi sions for obtaining justice which were formerly sufficient are suffii cient no longer. I think the true criticism which we should make upon our own conduct is that we have been so busy about our in dividual affairs that we have been slow to appreciate the changes of conditions which to so great an ex tent have put justice beyond the reach of the poor." "What bolshevik said that?" he inquired, and answered his own question, "It was Elihu Root." He was quoting from a new and exhaustice study of the "present denial of justice to the poor," made by so respectable a body as the Carnegie foundation. Not only public and business and religious bodies are awakening, but labor groups as well. Labor is learn- i ing that it has public as well as spe i cial interests, that to a large extent it is the public. I heard a speech at the convention of the Labor party at Chicago in November by Glenn E. Plumb, whose name is connected with a new plan, the Plumb plan, for railroad control. He set forth the new situation in a way which seemed to startle some of the labor leaders there assembled. He said that in the early days of or ganized labor craft groups could ; get together, and by organization lorce up wages, the cost of which the employers promptly passed along to the public. But what is the public? asked Mr. Plumb, and went on to show that a large ma jority of the public was madj up of wage earners or wage earners' families, so that when a strong unio got a raise in wages most of it was paid by other wage earners. As more and more labor organizations got into the field, the more wages were forced up, the faster grew the process by which increasing wages for one group chased up the living costs of all the other groups. Idea of Plumb. He might also have said, but did not, that not only increasing wages, but lessening production whether caused by the limitation of output by labor unions, the inefficiency of employers or by strikes or lockouts, had to be met by the public, a ma jority of which was also wage earners. In short, we are . all the public toward each separate greedy group, whether of workers or em ployers. Mr. Plumb's idea is that there has get to be a "new deal, a new ar rangement of society"; he has a "plan" for working it out, so has the new labor, party, so have the socialists. I am not here entering iiito the merits or weaknesses of any of these plans or proposals, whether coming from labor or capi talistic organizations, or churches or other public bodies, but tailing attention to them as evidences of the wide awakening to the serious ness of the problem and the effort to grapple with rtt. A new note was also prominent in the so-called 'bill of rights" is sued by a group of 119 uwron lead ers at Washington on December 12. There is a clear attempt to meet the new public criticism of labor or ganization, especially regarding pro ductivity and efficiency, by the pro posal of new remedies for the or ganization of industry. No group any longer dares , leave the public out of account. All this grouping for a better un derstanding of conditions, this as sumption oil all sides that there ought to be more justice, more de mocracy in our industrial ' relation ships however uncertain yet of spe cific applications of new remedies is surely the most hopeful elements in the present unrest.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY Hair is by far the most conspic uous thing about us and is proba bly the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair trou bles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair; that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff,' excess oil and dirt; can easily be used at trifling ex pense, by simply dissolving a tea spoonfu of canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid enough so it is easy to apply it to' all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all im purities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while! the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After a canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure.
