THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY. MARCH 8, 1920. My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of'a Wife" What Mtdg Read in Jack'a Words to Katherint. Whatever question waa in Kath arine brain brought there by the sight of the little signal to Marion fthtch she had inadvertently caught was resolutely pat away from her for future examination. I knew her so well that I could almost visual ize the process of some tidy little brain serf picking the question up efficiently, carrying it to a vacant compartment and tucking it away neatly labelled to be brought forth again when Katherine should find , time to examine it. I led the way to the waiting car, .knowing they were probably ex pecting to be put into a taxi, and waited with the touch of childish Vanity which I bore will leave me when driving my own car has be come 1ms of a novelty for the sur prised comments I knew they would make. "Madge!" Katherine exclaimed, as 1 opened the door of the tonneau nd swept them an exaggerated lit tle bow. "Your own car? How perfectly dear!" "Simply too adorably delicious for anything," Jack drawled. A Strained Moment. I glanced quickly at him, wonder ing if I was mistaken about a cer tain inflection in his tone. The words signified nothing. Said in one way they were simply the good natured teasing which most men use and no sane woman resents. But there was something aout the way Jack had spoken that made me won der if he had meant really to . satirize Katherine's little, burst of enthusiasm. If this were so, if he habitually used that weapon, the little speech woul have cut her. I knew Jack's hatred of exuber ance. From the time he was a small boy he hated any one to "fuss" over him or anything else. I think the absence of that quality from my make-up was one of the reasons for his fancy that he cared for me in other than "cousinly fashion, while Dicky openly resents my '"standoffishness," as he puts it. Vet it is Dicky and I, Jack and Kather ine, who are life partners, such is Fate's shuffle of the cards, ' There was nothing in Katherine's voice, however, to indicate chagrin. She continued her exclaiming as if her husband handn't spoken. I knew her training, however, the professional poise which masked the natural girlish exuberance of her. It would have enabled her to con trol any feeling she might have had on the subject. Japan Is Capturing China Trade Which Should Come to U. S. Chicago, March 7. "China is ripe for American-made goods." This is the message brought here by R. M. Calkins,, vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Vaul railroad, after a trip to the . Orient. "The Chinese people look upon America as their friend and natur ally are receptive to trade proposi? tions," said Mr. Calkins. "But it is their development work in a prac tical and businesslike manner. "Now is not the time to send a subordinate or junior .member of the firm to China. The head of the firm should go. s ' "The British do not send over pri vate secretaries to China when they want China's trade. Instead, the head of the firm goes, and he gets the orders, too. "Japan is keenly alive in the won derful field that China offers and is working with might and main to capture it., In spite of the hostility the Chinese display toward the Japa nese the latter are shipping wool from Australia and selling it to the Chinese. The Japanese are buying cotton in the United States and shipping it to Japan, where it is made up into cloth and then on it goes to China. Official, Lowered Into Sea, Discovered Tune of "Subs" London, March 7 The tune which the deadly submarine played as it moved beneath the waves was discovered by an admiralty official who was an expert musician. It has just been revealed that when the sea lords were seeking means of detecting the approach of a submarine, Sir Richard Paget, stripped to the waist, was lowered, head down, into the water. He came tip bumming the exact note made by the moving submarine. From this small and strange be ginning sound detectors were per fected which saved many lives and resulted in the sinking of many U boats. Man Beheaded When Power Splits Grindstone Atlantic City, N. J., March 7 Coupling his autbmobile with a frindstone to get quicker results, esse Steelman, 53 years old, a wealthy farmer of Scullville, 10 mites from here, started the engine xnd commenced sharpening his ax. There was a grinding crash, the grindstone, split and pieces were catapulted through the sides of the garage. One large section struck Steelman at the neck, completely beheading him. Next -War On the Pacific, Says Australian Premier London, March 7 The prediction hat "the next war would probably Veakoutin the Pacific" was attrib uted . to Premier Hughes of Aus tralia, in a Central News dispatch from Melbourne. The premier was quoted at saying in a speech: "We are hedged about with na tions who lust after Australia. We matt be ready with sufficient forces to aay; Thus far and no farther.' " Ebert Gets Furnishings ! ' Of Ex-Kaiser's Yacht Berlin, March 7 The magnificent furnishings and" fittings of the ex imperial yacht. Holienzollfu. have been transferred to the official home "And you don't mean you're driv ing yourself ? When did you learn?" Suppose we get in and give the lady a chance to demonstrate her skill," Jack said, still smiling, draw ing her toward the tonneau as he spoke. , v Again that indefinable note in his voice. But I had no time for con templation of it, for I naturally wished to make no mistakes in mo tor technique, and starting my car and swinging around to the main road took all my attention. No one spoke for a minute or two. Then I heard Katherine's voice, low, hesitating, from the rear seat. "Jack, dear, won't you lay that silk muffler across the back of your neck. You know how the wind af fects you." ' "Will you please allow me to-be the judge for the necessity of that?" The words were eaoally low, con trolled, but simply dripping with icy annoyance. , l knew men tnat i hadn't been mistaken in those other intonations. Jack was in the habit of speaking to Katherine in this un oleasant manner. My heart ached with sympathy for .my little friend, but not because of Jack's habit of speech. That simply was one of her marital annoyances. Every wife has them, and every husband. No doubt Jack and his grievances. But the thing I could not forgive Jack was that he should humiliate Katherine by speaking to her in this manner before me. A wife can forgive a husband al most anything if he only preserves the fiction before outsiders that he is the same devoted attentive cavalier he was in the days of their courtship and early marriage. And in this case Jack's offence was the more grievous because Katherine knew of my brother-cousin's feeling toward"me in the days before he met and loved her. That Katherine loved me truly, clearly. I knew. I also knew that she had never bothered her head about that old dead feeling. But it was not in human nature for her to accept equably a slight from her husband in my hearing. I could have shaken Jack until his teeth chattered with the best grace in the world. I pressed the accelerator and sent the car along faster. I wanted sud denly to get home to hurry along the meeting staged for the veranda. And I am afraid I had for the mo ment a savage little hope that some thing would happen to shake my brother-cousin out 'of his ugly, satirical mood. (Continued Tomorrow.) Has Postcard Photo Taken From Soldier by German By International News Service. Wanston Salem, N. C, March 7 Mr. Grady C. Stone, of No. 902 Bellewood avenue, this city, has in fus possession a postcard picture which was the property of some American soldier killed in the Meuse-Argonne offensive in Novem ber, 1918. He obtained the picture from a German soldier on the day of the signing of the armistice. The German stated that he had taken it from the body of an American as it was being buried. Mr. Stone is trying to find the relatives of the dead hero in order that he may re turn the picture to them. The pic ture appears to be the family group of the soldier in which are himself, his father and mother, a brother and seven sisters. It is taken at the side of a frame dwelling on which are tacked two striped blankets as a background. , United Brewers Plan Emergency Convention Atlantic Cityt N. J., March 7. The United States Brewers'association has called an emergency convention here at the Hotel Traymore, for February 26 and 27. The convention has been twice postponed because of national developments. Noted attorneys are listed among the speakers. - , A national program that will have a strong bearing on the presidential campaign is reported to be foremost among the topics to be considered. To Get Strong and Put on Flesh Peoole who have tried it say that one of the quickest and surest ways in which those who are weak, thin, nervous and run down can grow strong and put on pounds of solid stay-there flesh, is to take a 6-ersin tablet of Blood-Iron Phos phate with each meal. This is doubtless due to the well known fact that Blood Iron Phosphate quickly builds up depleted nervous energy and at the same time sup plies the iron necessary to make rich, red strength building blood. If yon are weak, thin, nervous, or are lacking in the old time vigor, endurance and optimism, go to Sherman & McConnell Drug , Co., or any good druggist and get enough Blood-Iron Phosphate to last three weeks and take as directed. If at the end of three weeks you don t reel one hundred per cent better and aren't in every way satisfied you can have your money back for the asking. Fair, isn't It J Better try it today.

Kerwin, director of the Bureau of Mediation and Conciliation of the Department of Labor. v His bureau haa some thirty-five industrial mediators known officially as commissioners of conciliation, scattered through the dif- l f erent sections of the country. "Public opinion has been so taken up with this con- It troversy, and with the coal : that the general situation is As proof, for the week : new low record, was reached in the number of strikes re ; ported to the Department of Labor for adjustment. Off 1 . cials there cannot recall the time when only two new cases were brought before their attention in one week. Further statistics show !"ber some 31 new cases were diation and Conciliation. Comparative1 figures show that J during November 34 cases were taken up ; in September, 73; in August, 91; July, 91, and June, 94. The Bureau of Mediation and Conciliation is estab lished in the organic act of the Department of Labor, r which authorizes the secretary of labor to act as a media tor or to appoint commissioners of conciliation whenever in his judgment the interests of industrial peace require it. It has not been the general policy of this very effective branch of the government to intervene in any threatened ' industrial dispute unless requested to do so either by the 'employer, the employe orjhe public directly affected. f This policy has vindicated itself. Often a strike or threat ened strike is in process of negotiation through local agen cies, and the intervention of a third party, even a repre sentative of the federal government would tend to upset pending negotiations. - During the fiscal year the Department of Labor has as- t signed, commissioners of conciliation to 1,780 cases, made J up of 278 strikes, 1,113 disputes and threatened strikes, J 63 lockouts and 17 walkouts. In only 111 instances have 1 the commissioners failed to The division of conciliation has shown a decided ad vance in the number of cases ; effectiveness as a mediating part of 1913, when first created, the division handled 33 strikes or threatened strikes; in 1915, 42; in 1916, 227; in 1917, 378; in 1918, 1,217, and in 1919, the fiscal year I just closed, 1,780. In many have involved thousands of workers engaged on great op erations were quietly averted through the efforts of the commissioners and all this was accomplished with little I publicity and the consequent attended industrial disturbances when heralded in th press. ' . "In spite of all that has been said and done," our na tional conciliator thinks, "a better feeling exists today be tween the working man and his employer." He concludes i. that "while the coming year ment of the industrial unrest, mendous reduction in the f lockouts, and that both the adjustment agencies will be busily engaged in harmoniz ing matters in disputes between employers and employes while the plants remain in operation. As an evidence , of our faith in this statement, the Department of Labor is today handling 107 trade disputes involving thousands of workers and of the 107 cases less than 18 are strikes; f the others being settled by our pension of operations or loss in production, to say nothing of the monetary loss falling upon both workers and man agements when a strike is on."
