"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!"

John E. Kauffman, proprietor of

Funten Drag Co. in Terre Haute,

"About five years ago I suffered
a complete nervous breakdown and
my stomach and kidneys all got out

hardly recognized me at first sight.

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

cording to First Sergeant George
Benolken, chairman of the banquet

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. Dustin Farnum m

How It Should Be Done
Rail Men to Ask
Salary Increases
Of $1,000,000,000
(Continued From First Page.)
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:

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.

Washington, March 21. Robert
Lansing, former secretary of state,

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. The program:

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. Then I turned to
Alfred. "Bring me a pair of scissors
and that heavy sweater of your
mother's," I said.
"Oh! What are you going to do?"
she asked as he hurried to the bed
side with the articles for which I
had asked.
"I'll make Dicky buy you a new
one," I said cheerfully, "because he
soaked this one throwing water on
you. But I've got to get this wet
night dress off you, and this is the
only way to do it."
I had the scissors at the neck of
the gown when she pushed my hand
away with unexpected strength.
"Why, Madge Graham 1" she said
indignantly. "This is one of my
best gowns. 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.)

time.
Inasmuch as Sherman A McConnell Drue
Co., and all other druggists are authorized
to sell Blood-Iron Phosphate under a guar
antee of satisfaction or money back, every
thin, weak, nervous or anemic man or

COAL DUST LODGED
IN MINER'S LUNGS
Tell how his cough wu coai
quered and health restored.
"In November, 1916, I waa working in
a coal mine and the doctors said the coal
dust had settled in my lungs. I couldn't
lie down on my right side, coughed so
I couldn't sleep and had constant pain
in my right lung and under my shoulder
blades. I coughed so hard the blood
would spurt out of my nose. Finally
the doctors had me change climate and
live outdoors, but didn't improve.
"Then I came home and started on '
Milks Emulsion. Thank God, I did, as it
did 'me a lot of good right from the
start, loosening up the coal dust in my
right lung. In a few weeks my lungs
were free. I could sleep like a baby, had
an excellent appetite and my cough left
me entirely. I gained back 80 pounds in
weight and went back to work in the -mines
completely restored to health."
