Moving Fever Fails to
Hit Omaha Families;
No Houses Are Vacant
There is one form of spring fever
that Omaha citizens are not af
flicted with. That is-the fever to
move "along about the first of
April."
According to a number of stor
age transfer 'men in the city there
is much less moving this spring than
ever before and hundreds of people,
unable to rent homes, are filling the
warehouses with stored household
affects,
.' "The acute shortage of rental
properties also is mad manifest,"
said Charles Knowles of the Fidel
ity Transfer company, "through the
widespread 'consolidation ,of fami
lies.' Young people ar? moving in
with the old people and the con
solidation extends all along the
line.
"According to many new families
the problem of providing adequate
. housing has been partically solved
in Chicago and elsewhere and they
complain that nothing is being done
along-this line in Omaha."
More than 90,000 persons are un
employed at the present time in
Vienna.

According to Mayor King the town
has just faced one "dinged" "dis
aster after another. .
First, the light plant blew-up.
Then the driver of the jitney bus

town's only barber left for parts
unknown, leaving the male . inhabi

safety razors or growing whiskers.
Finally the Lone Jack bank was
robbed. That didn't create much
excitement because, Mayor King
said, thTTtown was used to calamities.

Prohibition, It Is Asserted,
May Have Transformed
Erstwhile Cowering Hus
bands Into Lions.
By EARLE C. REEVES.
International Nwn Service Staff
Correspondent.
London. April 10. "'Are Amer
icans afraid of their wives?" is the
bold theme which Richard Keverne
chooses to discuss in the Daily Mif-
ror.
They were some of them are
even yet but a great mascunnist
movement is sweeping the states,
Richard maintains,, and this move
ment will soon free the enslaved
sex.
"Riehts for men are being de
manded," he writes.
"I take it that in the bad old days
of demon rum when a man came
home late from the club he had a
sort of guilty feeling. He wanted
to tlacate his wife.
"So, of course, he put up with any
thing for the sake of peace and a
quiet life. He would return and say,
'les, dear, it's auite true that I did
dine with Cyrus Tones, and as a mat
ter of fact it was his birthday and
we did have just one bottle, al
though, as you know, I didn't want
it; but I saw some splendid hajs in
the new shop on Nitie Thousand
and Twenty-ninth street today, and
I thought perhaps you might look in
there tomorrow and buy a dozen or
so.'
"Then she would sav: ' 'How
sweet of you,' or words to that ef
fect. 1 was just dvinsr tor a new
set of hats-now get on with sweep
incr the parlor, dear.' .
"And there you are. Demon rum
had riveted yet another fetter upon
his victim.
"But that is all finished and done
with now. The tired business man
returns from his office sharp on
time now. He has too much time
on his hands.
"Now we alt know the fate that
lies in wait for idle hands. The
tired business man promptly gets
into mischief. He begins to revolt
against his dollars and dust-chasing
life. Living a perfect life with noth
ing to hide, it occurs to him that he
will give up housework. Brooding
over the situation, he decides thatjie
is a slave.
"And here we have the beginnings
of a masculinist movement.
"Where this will lead it is hard to
say. Perhaps the women will in
self-defense vote America wet again.
Already I read that thev would like
' be dominated for a change."
British Seamen Protest
Against Chinese Coolies
London, April 10 Chinese coolies
are displacing British seamen, and
the latter are getting their dander
up.
The seamen have protested to the
board of trade, pointing out that but
8J82 Chinese were employed in 1914
on British ships and that this num
ber had doubled a year later, while
the end of the war has not seen dis
continuance of the shipowners' prac
tice of exploiting cheap Chinese la
bor while British ex-fighters are job
less. 1
. The sailors have asked that the
recent act which stipulated that no
alien he employed in any capacity
on a British ship at a rate of pav
less than the rate paid to British
subjects be made operative at once.
Mistake to Tell Lies
iu iimiueii, rdaiui oaya
Columbus. O., April 10. "It is
a" mistake to tell lies to children.
Even the Santa Claus.myth can be
told in such a way as not to be un
truthful," declares Rev.' Irving
Maurer, pastor of the First Congre
gational church, here, discussing the
subject, "Telling the Truth."
"Children lie either because their
parents have been found out or be
cause their parents are unskillful in
questioning them," Rev. Dr. Maurer
continued.
"Sex truths early should be told
children, for a child will learn these
facts in a distorted, impure, un.
'truthful aspect if you lie to him
about thein.
"So, too, children should learn the
facts about the Bible, about religion,
about science, in order not to be
compelled in adolescence to find
themselves deceit J

Capt. F. C. Kenower, Serving
With Red Cross In Reval,
; Writes Interesting Letter
of His Activities.
J. E. Davidson has received an
interesting letter from Capt. F. C.
Kenower, who is serving in Red
Cross work at fteval, Esthonia.
When Mr. Davidson was director of
personnel in Nebraska for the
American Red Cross society he ap
pointed Captain' Kenower to the
post he now occupies. The captain
is well known in Omaha and Lin
coln, having been manager of a
business in the latter city at the
time of his appointment. The let
ter follows:
Reval, Esthonia,
'February 14, 1920.
Dear Mr. Davidson:
Thought that you might be in
teresed in knowing what was going
on in this part of the world as re
gards Red Cross work, so will drop
you a line today while awaiting the
courier to Riga.
A month ago I was sent to Reval
to taka charge of the work in Es
thonia and Finland. I had been in
Latvia for about six months. I went
through the bombardment of Riga,
remaining there the entire month of
shelling. We were very busy as
sisting the wounded and carrying
them to the hospitals. Fortunately
we had a good stock of bandages
and medicines, the only stock in
that country and we were much
sought after, ,
I had several rather exciting ex
periences, on'of which was having
26 high explosives light within a
very short distance from where I
was overseeing the unloading of a
boatload of supplies. -With a scratch
or two and a slight gasing I came
out as good as new.
It seems that I am fortunate in
drawing good assignments, for I
have come here to cope with the
typhus epidemic now raging in Es
thonia, having been brought down
by the northwest army in its re
treat from Petrograd. It has been
something terrible, have now about
7,600 cases of spotted typhus, and
men lying on the floors in their filth
with one doctor to abdut 1,300 men
and nurses almost as few. Many
of the members of medical staffs
have already died. The dead lie for
days without being taken from the
buildings and then they are only
carried to the rear and allowed to
accumulate until several sled loads
are piled up, thenMaken to the woods
and scattered about.
We faced a proposition that
looked almost hopeless, but I had
IS good field men who worked all
the time arranging and assisting the
poor helpless Russians. in getting
some sort of aa organization, se
cured factory buildings and made
wooden cots and without mattresses
and pillows, pajamas, etc., , made
them at least more comfortable than
they were.
Helped Organize Hospitals.
You might be interested in know
ing that we helped in the organiza
tion of hospitals containing some
6.000 beds. In all there are 16,000
sick in f e old northwest army anfL
many yet are lying on the floors,
daily at the same old game, "cootie
hunting." I have seen as many as
15 men in a small room, with papers
or bottles and picking their clothing
and' patiently placing the game in
some safe place; There are no dis
infectants other than we have and
our supply at the present time is
limited.
We have, with our sanitary men,
personally disinfected many build
ings, deloused the clothing and built
bath houses to bathe them. We
have now enroute many supplies to
combat the epidemic and will go
after it on a large and systematic
scale if the political situation does
not make a change in our plans.
These countries, newly born, just -fairly
thrive on this political food
and then the late peace treaty has
put a different complexion on things.
But the Red Cross do not enter on
politics nor meddle in them; it's a
set and fast rule. Anyway, it's a
most interesting place to be just
now and I will never forget the ex
periences that I am having.
Men Have Spotted Typhus.
We have two men in the hospital
with spotted typhus now and one is
very ill. I am hoping that he will
pass through the crisis. I have been
so unfortunate as to have lost two
people from my personnel during
my experience in Ked Cross worn
and it s not pleasant.
Just now we are casting longing
eyes on Petrograd with tons by the
thousands piled up ready for the
work when the time comes and it
bids fair to be the biggest activity
that the American Red Cross has at
tempted. I had planned on return
ing home at the expiration of my
contract on March 1. but in anticipa
tion of getting to Petrograd among
the first party I am remaining.
High. Praise for Commander.
Our commission is headed by'Lr.
Col. Edward W. Ryan, a most ca
pable man with many years of Red
Cross experience in just such work,
and under him I am sure that we
will never be ashamed of the record
that we are making and will make
in the future.
In a-'letter one can but mar the
surface of our work and the inter
esting things that we see and the
words qannot express, the way in
which gratitude is shown the
"Amerikanskis" and their wonderful
systems and manner of getting at
things that are to be done. I am
flad I came and glad that I am here,
will see you upon my arrival home,
whenever that may be, and will take
interest in talking to you and can
ten you many tilings tnat I cannot
write.
Please give Frank Judson mv best
regards if you should happen to see
himsoon.
