THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY. MARCH 22, 1920. 5, CHILDREN MADE MISANTHROPES BY YARNAMES "Where's Your Medals?" and "You Ain't No Hero!" Tor ment Lads on Play grounds. London, March 21. The iniqui tous "war-name" mania, which ac counted for so many "Mafekings," "Bullers" and "Kitcheners" during the South African campaign, and which was revived with renewed in tensity in 1914, is lieginning to have its baneful effects already. Verily, as R. L. Stevenson has it, does the influence of a name make itself felt from the cradle. The case of a Guildford youngster branded like Cain with the title of "Kitchener Haig Jones" is typical of thousands of others who, born in the days when martial fervor was at its height, have been christened martially. ' Young Jones, now about 5, is al ready beginning to find his name weighing heavily upon him. His ad vent is a signal for banter. "Where's Your Medals?" His first appearance at school rouses the imagination of his fellow scholars. They crowd round him in , the-playground and ask him: "Can you tight, Kitchener?" "Where's your medals, Haig J" "Ain't you brought your guns, general?" One inventive lad made up a new game. Kitchener 'Haig was to be a brave general attacked by Germans. He was to vanquish the enemy and win the V. C. When the enemy advanced, poor Kitchener Haig disappeared under a mass of boisterous juvenile human ity.. It ts not to be wondered at that the little Paladin is becoming a mis anthrope; he shuns his fellow men. At home he is afraid of visitors. They will ask him if he's going to be a soldier. Mother Now Sorry. The proud mother admits now the mistake she made while father was away in France. She wants him to go into trade grocery for prefer ence. But, says Mr. Jones, "You can't put a boy with those names into the grocery." A Kitchener Haig could hardly serve currants over a counter, somehow. "If I'd been at home." says his father, "he'd have been called Hary, after his grandfather!" iUCrtllWlUIC, IMC uuv nJtuua mi out of school hours playing in the back garden alone. He is -too ncrv ouii to venture farther. He has his own games "road scraping" (with garden hoel, shopkeeping (with peb bles and pieces of wood), engine driving (with the mowing machine), but he doesn't like "soldiers!" Ministers Pray for Defeat Of Bills in Legislature Crysfield. Md., Marcli 21. Public prayer services were held in all the churches of Crysfield . Sunday, the ministers praying for the deliver ance of their people from t)e hard ships which they claim would be placed upon them by bills now in tTie legislature, which provide for increased taxes and licenses on the different branches of the crab and oyster business. DIIOIIJCQ MAN BACK ON FEET PRAISES TANLAC Suffered a Complete Break down, But Feels Like a New ' Man, Now. "Nearly everybody in Pans that Knows me has had something to say about my remarkable improvement and I am glad to express my opinion publicly about Tanlac, said John E. Kauffman, proprietor of the Kauffman Planing Mills of Paris, 111., when he called, at the Funten Drag Co. in Terre Haute, lnd., a few dayr ago. "About five years ago I suffered a complete nervous breakdown and my stomach and kidneys all got out of order. I had to live on the light est kind of diets and I fell off in weight so much that my friends hardly recognized me at first sight. Right after I ate anything gas would begin to form on my stomach and for hours afterwards I felt bloated up, heavy and uncomfortable. My hnthpred me day in and day out and I had a pain acrossl my back that simpiy Kepi me m agony all the time. If I stooped over and tried -to straighten back up again the pain would nearly kill me and I would have to grit my teeth to be able to bear it. It was impossible for me to sleep much, for the pains were so awful my wife had to get up at all hours of it.. ;-i,f .ni trv to Violn me (ret relief.

In two weeks' time I was eating anything I wanted and I have kept it up ever since and have not been bothered with any kind of stomach trouble. My kidneys are in the best kind of condition and. I cant tell I ever had a pain in my back. I have gained back all my lost weight 'and my friends all say I am look ing like a different man altogether.

Cadet Company C of Central high is to give the first banquet of the regiment this year at the Y. M. C A., March 31. The company jazz band, a feature of the regiment, will play. About 100 members of Com pany C are expected to atterfd, ac cording to First Sergeant George Benolken, chairman of the banquet committee: The following will be honor guests, and will be called upon to give brief talks: J. G. Masters, principal; E. E. McMilla. faculty drill director; Dr. H. E. Senter, dean of boys; F. H.

Mess call will be blown by Company Bugler Richard Evans. At the THEATERS f rT!HE Master of Ballantrae," I in which the distinguished American actor, Walker Whiteside, will appear at the Bran deis,,tonight, Tuesday and Wednes day, with matinee on Wednesday, has thrills a' plenty; love passages of the soul-stirring kind; mystery of the weird sort, and breathless'sccnes of wonderful intensity. There are numerous amusing episodes and many laughable " incidents, much witty dialogue and situations which never fail to bring peals of laugh ter. Robert Louis Stevenson consid ered '"The Master of Ballantrae" his greatest work and it certainly af fords Walker Whiteside innumera ble opportunities for brilliant acting. The action of the headline act at the Orpheum belies its name of "Extra Dry," for it has to do. mnrc or less, with the exhilarating ef fects of 5,000-year-old elixir found encased with mummies. The princi pals are Jack 'Fairbanks, Herbert Hocy, Miss Gertrude Mudge and Miss Beth Stanley. There are sever al pretty ensemble numbers. Miss Stanley is a clever soubrette. An Egyptian ballet scene is one of the features of the act, which has many bright lines and situations. t Bob Hall is popular with his ex temporaneous singing, obtaining considerable fun with the other acts of the bill and some of the typical attendants in front. Steele and Winslow close the program with a rollicking roller skating burlesque of unusual merit. Dewitt Young and sister offer a series of juggling md balancing feats. Arthur Stone ami Marion Haves have the comedy hit of the bill, Mr. Stone's whims'cal characterizatino being excruciating ly funny. Rawls and Van Kaufman, a blonde 'woman and a black-faced character of the lazy type, get a Joi of fun out of their dialogue. Fay Courtney, formerly of the Courtney sisters, is a young woman of Amazonian proportions and a voice in keeping. She is assisted by Fred Farbre and sings several songs, one of which is Kipling's "East is East and West is West." Topics of the day and Kinograms continue to entertain and amuse as screen features of the regular vaudeville program. Gus Hill's minstrels made a short but animated visit to Omaha yester day, giving a single performance at the Brandeis theater. Headed still by George Wilson, "the daddy of them all," this revival of what "negro minstrelsy" was 40 years or more ago, is welcome to a public that has been surfeited by the frills and ornaments that have been im posed upon this form of entertain ment under the guise of improve ments. Gus Hill has brought it back to the status of fun, singing and dancing, with some grotesquery that makes for real good amuse ment. George Wilson astonishes by his grip on youth, and moves afjout on the stage as lively as if he were his own grandson. His voice is clear, his brain active, and he sim ply glistens with humor. His asso ciates, a rather lengthy list, are all worth while, and the whole, well bears out its boast, that it is the only real minstrel troupe now before the public. "Cheer Up," a musical comedy, leads the list at the Empress this week, and certainly makes the custo mers like it. It is as good as its name. Then we have with us Bertie Fowler, who always did get away good in this town, and who has not lost the knack. She tells her stones, sings her songs and takes her audi ences into her confidence with all the grace of yore. Two musical teams, Cleveland Dowry and Brown and Simmons, vie for popularity with songs, jests, dances and instru mental music.

Railroad traffic experts estimate that to provide revenues sufficient to take care of the $1,000,000,()0! wage advances already granted an increase . in freight rates of ap proximately 25 per cent will b: re quired. The extent of this increase will be for the interstate commerce commission to determine, af.ei hearings that are expected to extend well into the summer. The decision must be made before September 1, when the government guarantee of prewar earnings expires. If the new wage conference re sults in a further increase in the railroad payroll then under the transportation act the commiss'on again will be obliged to' raise freight or passenger rates, or both, to pro vide the additional revenue to uay the wages. It is estimated that each increase of a cent an hour in wastes rates adds $50,000,000 a year to the payroll, requiring an advance of 1 1-2 per cent in freight rates. The granting of the new $1,000, 000,000 wage demands would, under the law, mean a further 25 per cent advance in freight rates on top of the 25 per cent advance about to be considered by the interstate com merce commission. Face Big Increase. When the railroads were turned back to their owners on March 1, the managements were faced with an annual payroll of $2,770,000,000, as compared with $1,740,000,000 tinder private operation prior to gov ernment control, an increase of $1, 030,000,000. The increases granted to the principal classes of employes by the railroad administration are shown by comparison of the follow ing payrolls: 19)7 l'arrnll. 1920 Payroll. Train crews 108,000,000 $ 70K.000.000 Shopmen S78,000,000 730,000,000 Maintenance of wnvK 849,000,000 IS77,0OO,OO Telegraphers .. 73,000,000 ll.l, 000,000 (ierlis 2S9.0O0.OOO 415.000.000 All others 173.1)00,000 235,000,000 Total Sl,710,000,000 113,770.000,000 Wage Demands Accumulate. In the last eight months of gov ernment operation new wage de mands kept on accumulating. While the leaders of some Of the more conservative unions, notably War ren S. Stone of the locomotive en gineers, L. E. Sheppard of the con ductors, and W. G. Lee of the train men believed that further large wage increases would only increase pro duction costs and living costs, and urged a waiting policy, the radical labor leaders, especially in the shop crafts, weie insistent on further wage advances. The result was that the conservatives, for self-protection, had to follow along with the radicals and make proportionate de mands. All of these new demands, cover ing 1.850,000 of the 1,950,000 em ployes, have now been turned over to the railroad companies. These de mands by classes of employes, are estimated by railroad managers as follows: 356,000 engineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen, and yard men, ask for increased wages of $290,000,000, an average increase per man of $810; 473,000 shopmen (machinists, boiler makers, black smiths, carpenters, painters, elec tricians, car repairers etc..) ask tor an increase of $184,000,000, an average increase per man of $390, 588,000 maintenance of way men (section men and foremen, unskil'ed workers, engine housemen, etc) ask for an increase of $401,000,000, an increase per man of $680;'78.C00 telegrapher's, block operators and station agents ask for an increase of $50,000,000, an average per man of $640 ; 359,000 clerks, messengers, etc., ask for an increase of $175,000, 000, an average per man of $480. No Representative of Public. On the national wage conference called to pass upon these new de mands are 117 leaders of the rail road unions and 15 railroad mana gers. No public representatives will sit on the board. The new railroad labor board, authorized by the trans portation act, has not yet been ap pointed by the president. This board will consist of nine members, three each from the employes, the railroad managements and the public. It will sit in Chicago. That the $1,000,000,000 wage de mands will eventually come before the new labor board, on which the public is represented, is considered a certainty. It is not believed here that a conference committee made up only of employers and employes would have the courage to agree to increase the railroad payroll by any large amount, on the supposition that the interstate commerce com mission would under the law be at once obliged to pass the cost on to the public through increases in rates. It is pointed out that the very evident purpose of congress, in framing the transportation act, was to put both railroad rates and rail road wages under public control. While the managements and the men will have six votes to the pub lic's three on the new labor board, the law provides that no wage award can be made by this board which does not have the vote of at least one of the three representatives of the public.

Residents of Hungary Must Give Half Their Money to Government Budapest- March 21. The govern ment has ordered all banks closed and that preparations be made to commence the stamping of all money in circulation in Hungary. Money in the hands of the people must be presented to the banks and the bearer is to "receive stamped money in half the amount presented. The other Half is to be converted into state bonds to be redeemable in a few years. The bonds will bear in terest al the rate of 4 per cent per annum. As the notes of the Austro-Hun-carian bank circulating in Hungary amount to about 14,000,000.000 kronen, the compulsory state loan is expected to bring about 7,000,000, 000 kronen. There is the greatest excitement throughout the country, because the peasantry has hoarded huge sums of "blue money." The farmers are trying to avoid losses by asking double prices for their products, and are demanding pay ment in silver, gold or manufac tured articles. i (TTUCKLEBERRY FINN" has reached H the screen.

Lansing Made Honorary Chairman of Board To Fight Red Menace Chicago Trihune-Omaha Dee Leased Wire. Washington, March 21. Robert Lansing, former secretary of state, has accepted honorary chairman ship of the National Inter-Church board, which has effected a strong alliance of more tan a score cf church denominational organiza tions to fight the "red" men. ice. Former Secretary of the Interioi Franklin K. Lane, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and Secretary William B. Wilson of the depart ment of labor, have joined with Mr. Lansing in warmly commending the plans of the Inter-church board as an important and far-reaching move to combat radicalism. The church plan of tackling the "red" problem in a practical way is outlined in a report made public by officials of the Inter-church world movement. Survey by the co-operating churches has resulted in a defi nite decision to draw heavily upon the wealth and man-power of the church.es to promote Americaniza tion. I Free Love and State Control of Children Advocated in France 9 Faris, March 21. Free love and state control of children are being advocated in France as a remedy for depopulation. The method sug gested is described by Odette Eulac as a "maternity card," issued on a doctor's certificate to every expect ant mother, married or unmarried, who makes a request for one. Such a card entitles a woman to shorter working hours or light er work, medical attention and eventually hospital room and a physician's care. The chlid is to be cared for by the state, on the principle that no woman should be asked to be both a worker and a mother in other words to carry a burden twice as heavy as that imposed on man, who is by nature stronger. The maternity card gives a woman right over her child, doing away with' paternal authority and making motherhood worth while for women. The scheme is one of the most dar ing suggested, in France where it is nothing short of a revolution in morals and conventions, for it amounts to dignifying the girl mother hitherto regarded as an out cast of society and of diminishing masculine prestige always upheld in France. Mrs. Zabriskie's Ninth Organ Recital Draws Large Audience An assemblage that filled every scat in the First Presbyterian church listened to the ninth of a series of organ recitals by Louise Shadduck Zabriskie on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Zabriskie was assisted by Mrs. Verne Miller, contralto, and Miss Henritta M. Rees, who played the organ while Mrs. Zabriskie gave three violin numbers. The program was pronounced by many the best of the series. It contained numbers well calcu lated to exhibit the possibilities of the splendid organ, and others that charmed by the beauty of composi tion and expression without taxing the range of the mighty instru ment. Among these was the offer tory, "Sunset," from "Pastoral Suite" by Clifford Demarest. Its simplicity, its harmonies and tone contrasts, all expressive of the theme, and the taste with which it was played, made it one of the bright spots of the hour. Another most en joyable number was the dainty "Chanson Indoue," (Rimsky-Korsa-koff), played with exquisite effect in the violin group by Mrs. Zabris kie. with Miss Rees at the organ. A perfect background for the beautiful tones of the stringed instrument, so skillfully handled, was afforded by the organ, also under control of one who knows it well. Mrs. Miller's solo, "He is Kind, He is Good," (Massenet), was well sung, her tones being smooth and pure, in both upper and lower reg ister, her enunciation perfect, and the effect charming.

My HEART and My HUSBAND By ADELE GARRISON How Madge Contrived to Manage the Situation. It" was but the work of a minute or two for Alfred Durkee.and me to carry his mother uo to her room. We laid her.upon the bed, whose throw-back bedclothlng; and rumpled pillow showed that she had been in it before making her noctural jour ney down the stairs. My little neighbor had only a light kimono thrown over her nightdress, while her bare feet were thrust into dainty high-heeled slippers of the kind she always affects. "Look at those," Alfred groaned in masculine exasperation. "No won der she stumbled. Andwhatever took her down those stairs? What shall 1 bring you? Some water? And the doctor" "The .water, please, .and Dickey has telephoned for Dr. Gibson." I was straightening the little woman's feet, and saw in a moment the cause of her swooning. One foot and ankle were already swoolen nearly double their size. She evidently had tripped upon her high heels, tried to save herself, and her foot had been twisted underneath her. Whether or not there were broken bones or simply a nasty sprain I, of course, could not tell until a physician came; indeed, had no time to determine. Before Alfred returned with the water I had straightened her body comfortably in bed, and was search ing her dressing table for the pow erful smelling salts I knew she kept there. I placed them beneath her nostrils, and when Alfred returned man-like with a trail of water dripping over himself and the rug I bade him chafe her hands while I dashed the water into her face. A Different Dickey. As we worked we heard the door open and close downstairs, and steps unpn the stairs. In another moment Dicky came hurriedly into the room. "What can I do?" he asked quiet ly, all the captiousness evidently suppressed or eliminated. "Take my place here just a min ute," I said. I opened my mouth to tell him how to sprinkle the water in Mrs. Durkee's face, reflected that a veteran of the army ought to know something about first aid, regret ted my caution when I saw him throwing the water with such vigor as to saturate my little friend's night dress. Inside .the minute I had named I was back with a pungent restorative which I set on a chair by the bed side, ready to administer it the first second I saw that Mrs. Durkee was able to swallow. Then I took the water basin from Dicky's hands. "Do you think you could find the coffee things in the kitchen?" I asked, remembering his justifiable pride in his coffee making. "We shall need some hot, strong coffee here quickly. And what did Dr. Gibson say?" "He'll be here as soon as he can get out his car and run over. And as for the coffee, I've helped Alf root it out too often over here not to know where it is. I'll have some for you pronto." The Patient Commands. "Turn on the hot water heater." I called after him as he hurried to ward the stairs. "We'll need hot water for hot water bags as soon as you can get it ready." "All right. Leave it to your uncle," he called back cheerily, and I think the tone did more to com pose Alfred Durkee than anything else could have done. Alfred loves his mother dearly, and I saw that this, seizure of hers had done some thing months of active campaigning had not achieved, made him panic stricken as a nervous schoolgirl. The hand chafing and the cold wa ter kept up a minute or two longei and brought back my little friend to consciousness. She moaned with pain as she opened her eyes, and then in the next second shivered. "So cold," she murmured, and I saw that something must be done immediately about the soaked night dress. "Drink this," I commanded, put ting the pungent restorative to her lips. "Oh, I can't!" she said plaintively. "You must," I returned with deci sion, and by sheer force of will I put it down her.

I couldn't buy one like it again in these shoddy times. You shan't touch it" ' I felt like shaking her, but I saw that carrying my point would only mean a scene which would agitate her, therefore with a shrug of my shoulders I turned to Alfred. "Bring me some heavy Turkish, towels." I said. "I'll stuff them iin tder the soaked portions of the gown. t uai win invt iu uw " the doctor comes." ( Confirmed tomorrow.) - .
