FEARS ANOTHER
CLASH AMONG
WORLD NATIONS
Will Come Within Next 35
Years, According to Wis
consin Professor Who
Speaks Here.
Dr. E. A. Ross, head of the de
partment of political and social
economy of the University of Wis
consin, bclieve9 that another inter
national cataclysm will occur during
the next 35 years and probably not
sooner than 20 years, unless some
stabilizing medium such as the
league of nations shall be established.
Dr. Ross is eminent as a student
of the underlying causes of . dis
turbance in nations and in the
world. He has written books and
has traveled extensively.' He is in
Omaha today to deliver three talks
to members of the Onjaha School
Korum. He spoke yesterday in city
council chamber.
Adherent of League.
"I am for the league of nations,"
the Wisconsin educator said. "Those
who appreciate what the federal
union of our states meant to the
happiness of this nation, and what
the league of nations means to the
happiness of the world, will not or-
nosc the league. I don't believe that
Senator Hiram Johnson and other
irreconcilables have traveled in other
countries. They are parochial in
tlieir point ot view. They do not
think in terms of internationalism."
He said "the forces of change are
leading humanity along an untried
path against its. will.
Without the league of nations he
forsees great economic differences
between the nations.
National Lineup Problematical.
"It will be a question of who will
get the nitrates, or the cotton, or the
petroleum, or other resources, he
added. He said it would be.diffi
cult to even speculate on the prob
able lineup of the nations . in the
years to come if the United States
does not join the league.
"If Germany should be dominated
by the bolsheviki, that country
might form an alliance with Rus
sia," he said. "There may be an
economic conflict between Great
Britain and this country, or between
Great Britain and Germany."
Dr. Ross stated that members of
the faculty of the University of Wis
consin are generally for Herbert
Hoover for president. At a recent
dinner of 13 professors he said, all
were for the former food adminis
trator. Issues Warning to Women.
In his talks to the teachers he as
serted that the bias of masculine
minds has impressed itself upon the
thinking of the world and he
warned women against the influence
of propaganda when reading or
hearing the thoughts of mere man.
"Traditioual thought in religion,
ethics, government economics and
sport is so colored with masculine
pugnacity that women ought to
pluck un courage to do their own
thinking," he said. "Now that they
have the ballot and have joint re
sponsibility with the other sex for
the social future, they ought to dis
trust man-made thought and en
deavor to arrive at ideas untainted
by male instincts. They ought to
confide more in the promptings of
their own natures and assum? a
more critical attitude toward the de
liverances of the male mind."
Instinct of Pugnacity Snare.
He contended that in the process
of social evolution in which man
kind now finds itself, the instinct of
pugnacity is a snare leading men to
strife and mutual destruction.
"Woman's outfit of instincts is
very much safer than man's for the
stage of development we have en
tered upon," was another thought.
Nevertheless, current thought is
deeply tainted by male pugnacity.

Aged Woman Composes Poem as She Chants
Hymns and Weaves Pretty Paper Flowers
Philosophy of Life Ex
pressed in Ode to Fa
vorite Flower.
Confiding her entire worldly hap
piness in the artistic skill of making
paper flowers, Mrs. Mary Burge, 61
years old, weaves awav her quiet life
m a cheery room at the City Mis
sion, 1204 Pacific street.
pay by day, with deft fingers de
spite a partially crippled right hand,
the quaint matron of the mission
molds flowers of appealing beauty
trom sheets or mere scraps of tissue
paper.
Her whole entity is given to the
making of flowers all kinds.
Chants Religious Hymns.
"And aren't flowers nature's
rarest beauty?" she asks. "I love
them. They're so much to me,
alone in the world."
A religious hymnal is also a
means of solace to Mrs. Burge.
As diversion from her tedious
work of making flowers, she reads
and hums various selections.
"Kind persons visit me and buy
my flowers," Mrs. Burge says. "But
the day is dull without a word to
God or a thought of. the hereafter.
That's why I love the hymns.
Composes Ode to the Daisy.
"I'm always happy. Miss An
thony, the superintendent, is so
good to me. She likes my flowers,
too, and shows them to visitors
here." .
As an ode to her choicest flower,
the daisy, Mrs. Burge has composed
lines which, next to her flowers, she
considers her proudest work of art.
The poem reads:
The Daisy.
Sweet little daisy, so pure and whHe.
Oft have I gathered you from tender
tern:
I will eee no more of the' daisy's white
Till springtime cornea again.
I have no daisies to cherish me now;
Cold winter has come again
And nipped my daisies, so pure and white,
From oft their tender stem.
Daisies, fairest of all the flowers.
That blossom in the grove:
How they spread their opening leaflets
Among the flowers I love.
I hove that when I'm dead and gone,
That some kind friend wUl take
A few of the fairest, sweetest flowers.
And strew them at my feet.
Wreathe them in garlands:
Entwine them round my brow of clay
And take a few of the fairest flowers
On my grave to lay.
Then I'll need no more of Earth's fair
flowers.
The sweetest blossoms I love;
If 5
I'll gather them from the golden strand,
In that Eden above.
At Mission Six Months. -
Visitors to her room delight in
going over her array of hand made
flowers. '
Mrs. Burge frequently receives re
munerative offerings for her flowers.
Hardly a Visitor to the City Mission
leaves without a flower from the
quaint woman's room.
Mrs. Burge has been living at the
City Mission for the past six
months. Her right hand is crippled
from an illness, several years ago.
The death of her husband 20
years ago left her without support.
For months last year, Mrs. Burge
was an invalid at the Methodist hos
pital. When she regained strength and
was able to leave the hospital, she
took up her home at the City Mis
sion. Though the Mission is not entire
ly a home of charity, Miss Mary
Anthony, superintendent, acquiesced
to a sympathetic request of the
"motherly matron" of the place that
she 'be allowed to remain at the
home.
Her philosophy of a happy life is
summed up in the following terse
sentence:
"Do justice; love mercy and have
humble faith in God."

Entire Nation to Hear
President at Same Time
Washington, April 24. Maj. Gen.
George O. Squier, chief signal offi
cer, Ui S. A., in a statement written
for the Public Service Journal makes
the following prediction:
"It is believed that the time is not
far distant when it will be possible
for the president of the United
States to address the entire Ameri
can people from the White House
at the different localities where they
are assembled by the spoken word."
General Squier said that develop
ment of electrical intercommunica
tion is very rapid in all directions.
He referred to submarine cabling,
land telegraphing, radio and combi
nations of all of these means of
communication. His idea that the
president might speak from the
White House to all of the people of
the country at one time, is based
particularly upon the development
of the radio telephone.

Netting the dog, the wagon crew
placed it in the cage on the wagon.
Then excitement started in earn
est. Attacking the other canines in the
cage, the dog bit them all severely.
For blocks, the distressing yelps of
the bitten animals were heard.
The wagon was driven to a police
station where a policemen, firing
through the meshes of the cage,
killed the evidently mad dog. The
wagon was then driven to the coun
ty pound where the other dogs were
killed. .

Butter Fat In Midwest Milk
Above Requirement, Is Report
Recent tests made of milk of the
Midwest Co-operative Milk Produc
ers' association show the butter-fat
content as follows: 3.5, 4.5, 3.7 and
3.6, which was more than the legal
minimum of 3.2 per cent, according
to James V. Chizek, milk and dairy
inspector for the health department.
He also reported that every test he
made of cream was above the legal
requirement. Only one milk test
made sinoe the plant was opened a
month ago was below the standard.
Mr Chizek offered this informa
tion in connection with an allega
tion made in a lawsuit started Fri
day in district court against the
company by a former employe.
Advises Teachers to
Shy Clear of Politics
For Good Citizenship
Prof. E. A. Ross, political econ
omist and writer on sociological
subjects, advised public school
teachers yesterday afternoon to ab
stain from affiliating with the "polit
ical partisan game."
He spoke in the city council cham
ber under the auspices of the Omaha
School Forum and stressed his ob
jections to the political parties,
which he said were not the best
mediums for women to find their
places in this "man-made world."
"I hope the majority of women
will be slow to go into this partisan
political game, which is so far re
moved from patriotism and citizen-
ship," he said.
"If you go in either as a democrat
6r a republican you will not be able
to do much for your country," was
another thought. .
The professor arraigned the polit
ical parties by asserting that they
are dominated by men and are con
taminated by the . "pugnacious na
tures of men."
. Expect Record Fruit Crop
Henryetta, Okl., April 24. This
district has prospects for the largest
fruit crop in its history.

shape.1- Cherry trees already are
loaded with buds. Peach trees, by
far the greatest in number, have
.Vlropped their blossoms.
