rui mi 7rT the days of trie tor pilot it was cheaper to mwe t?dr?pdyre?C V JSC In the old days before moving be came a luxury, May day was a time of peanut eating and giggling among the population at large. ' The folks used to gyrate around a May pole holding pretty colored rib bons in their mitts like street car straps. After they got dizzy they would sit around, listen to the pic colo player in the village band try ing to neutralize the racket made be tween the trap drummer and the base horn. Then everybody horned in on the big feed and grabbed in digestion from last year's wienie sandwiches. But things have changed since our grandfathers only wore their sus penders on special occasions. On the Loop Again. The family moves irt May, and about October 1 are on the loop again. It's a great life. Eleven more acts like this just fill an or phctim bill. The old oil lamp moving is. a of thinir of the oast, like Bob Ros nresidential olatform. You Can blame a bird for moving into a trap that won t raise bunions on nis el bows from trying to turn around mi room without backinor out. costs 50 bucks to move $12 worth of furniture, which goes to show that it is cheaper to leave your fur niture and pay the instalments. No family can afford to move eve though they are two jumps behin in the rent and one iumo ahead c the poor house. Trips, like war, cost money. Button Up the Back. In the days of the bar pilot it was cheaper to move than pay rent, now it ain't either. We know of one poor bird who rented a squad of rooms tha.t looked like an egg case. The rooms were all of the form fitting kind that but toned tin the back. - One room was slightly larger than the others owing to the fact that the hinges on the door folded out sM ii tifemBKi ' i I K , iff n ' ji i W& m mmm s - . rv.YT X ZXmmf Omaha Sunday OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING.

The kitchenette was a combination player piano and sink. This bird was inside when the works folded up and is now suffering from rent shock, proving that if flats get any smaller they will be renting them in sizes ike shirts and collars. Nomination Means Election. . When the family pops into the new coop where the previous family has just made their escape, they find the telephone company has ampu tated the phone, the talking machine company sends you 10 berries for three months' service, the three months' service consists mostly of the company running pretty green and yellow wires up and down the side of one room until you think it "is a harp. The three remaining months you spend showing prospective renters the flat ,w!o plan on moving in after you evacuate. The electric light birds and the gas hounds horn in on you for a col lection of 10 spots. The electric birds squawk for you to use more juice and less gas. The gas hounds page you to use more gas and less juice. You think they are the same company until you get two bills, and besides it doesn't make any differ ence if the trick meters add up your bill correct, the collector will add it up wrong anyway. A nomination on the ticket is equivalent to election. And they still call it May day, meaning that you may live through it iiid you may not. s The overall movement is gaining momentum. As a protest against the fiigh cost of clothing, it's a good one. But we shudder to think what the clothing barons may do. We expect soon to sec ads like this: Splendid Values in OVERALLS For Young Mn and Men Who Want to Stay Young. $60 and $75 Here's a subtle one for those who jeek expression in their clothes: Smart, Up-to-the-Min-ute Styles in OVERALLS Tailored from Splendid, Stout, Hand-Picked Denim. .

We have to turn the eggs every day, you know, and it's quite a job. "It' quite a ceremony, turning the eggs. All my boys' are anxious to do it, or were at first, but I notice quite a decrease in their enthusiasm already. The chickens are due in about another week." The sheriff says he'll be satisfied if they only get 64 chicks out of the 6i eggs. ' Rhine Wine In London London, April 24. Rhine wine is on the tables of the wealthy again, Dr. Sthamer, dining in a baronet's house, pronounced a bottle from his native land the finest he had tasted, but he found a label covered with Al lied flags pasted over the original German label.

Dysentery Plays Havoc With Colonies of Bees Wisconsin beekeepers suffered more than average losses, among their bees during the past winter. These losses, according to H. I. Hambleton of economic entomology department of the university were due largely to dysentery, "When the bees were put into win ter quarters last fall, they did not have enough of the right kind of honey to carry them through until spring. "Sugar, the best substitute for honey, was so scarce all winter -that the bee keepers could, not get enough to feed their colonies. The result was that many died from dy sentery, caused bv the accumulation of digestive products in the intes tines. "Unless the bees are carefully watched now, there will be more losses this spring," he says. "Bee keepers should examine their colon ies carefully to see that they have enough honey. Those that do not should be fed plenty of sugar syrup so that the new brood will be out by the time that sweet clover blooms.

Therefore the students call him "Biplane." Large cars may have their advantages, but that they make one look grotesque can hardly be denied. v ' Now if a girl has inherited large cars she may conceal tnesewitn coiffure a la mode that is. over the ears: but in the case of the less for tunate sex such an expedient is out of question. lartp pars are a nuisance. F'r instance. It has been noticed Kv the nrefect of discipline at Creighton that whenever the wind blows from the south "Biplane" is always late in arriving at college. The nretect deduced tne cause oi "Biplane's" tardiness, viz.: That i "Biplane," who lives in tne norm end of town and always walks to school, must necessarily on account of his large protuberances, work against the wind just as a bird or sail vessel must under like circum stances, hence his tardiness when the south wind prevails. On the other hand, it has also been noticed that when the wind blows from the north "Biplane" always arrives at the college fully half an hour before time. Tin nrpfrrt of disciDlinc has ad vised "Biplane" never to choose an outdoor occupation, fearing that sooner or later he would be blown before some speeding bus, with the inevitable consequences. Omaha Officer Has Unique Experience In Occupied German 1 own Guy Williams, who was a lieuten ant in the Eighth Machine Gun battalion of the Third division, A. E. F., had an odd experience when he was in the occupied region of Germany. "We came in to a certain town late one day," he said. "I went to a house to get billeted. I knocked. and the door was opened Dy an elderly woman. I was astonished to see her throw up her hands, and a look of amazement come into her eyps. She seemed about to throw her arms about me. Then she burst into tears. "Unable to understand. I fol lowed her into the house. Her hus band was sitting by the fire, aivd lie also started when he saw me. The woman took a lamp and beckoned me to follow her into the front room. ' "And there, on the wall, was my picture. I thought it was my pic ture 'when I first looked at it. My eyes, my hair, my nose, my whole expression. It was I in every re spect but ope. The picture was of a man in a German uniforms The woman made me understand that it was her youngest son who had-been killed in the German army early in the war."

"Spike" Lenahan, a senior at Creighton, and two of his comrades were traveling from the south of France to Paris. ''This was when "Spike" was with the army in France. In the same compartment with them was a middle-age man and his wife, conversing in French. Full of raillery the soldiers began to make remarks about the man, in English, of course. "The big fat chump should be tn the first line trenches," said one. "Just because he is married the coward is playing safe," added an other. Then "Spike" came out with this: "I doji't think much of his wife either for letting him hide behind her skirts." "He sure would make a fine tar get for Fritz with that Taftian ro- tnnilitv nf Ins wriulrln t her "That's probably why Foch has exempted him.

But after a briet okcp,i tlip man rjine hack and in perfect English politely asked the boys to come and have dinner with his wife and lnmselt. Vn thunderbolt would ever have been more effective in stunning the soldiers than this revelation that all they had said was understood by this man and his wife.

"But my wife is an American,1 persisted the man, "and it is her de sire that you do us the pleasure or dining with us." Wife Herself Comes. Ashamed to confront the wife, the trio persistently refused the in vitation. Thereupon the man went Knt tn hp Hininc car. But almost immediately, his wife came to extend her invitation personally. So the boys accepted, and the rest of the journey was pleasantly spent in the company of this man and his American wife, and needless to say English was the language em ployed. When they arrived at Paris, the gentleman told the boys that it was his great desire to make every American soldier perfectly at home while in Europe and he invited them to his Paris residence when thsti, should have time to come. While parting with them he presented his card which revealed him to be the prime minister of Monaco. Woe to These Landlubbers If 'Seadog' Ever Catches Up 1 y Lieutenant Commander Frowns as Subordinate Places Mail Bag Filled With Waste Paper at His Feet But He Smiles When He Hears How It Happens. "Seadog" Johnson, on duty spas modically on the good ship "Navy Recruiting Station," anchored -at Fourteenth and Douglas streets, has lost all respect for the careless pedestrian. Each day "Seadog" Johnson cata pults through the straps of a wheat sack cr mail bag. and pulls dead ahead to the post office for Lieuten ant Commander Lowder's before breakfast advice from someone prominent and authoritative in Wil sonton. Johnson lingered some in the basking sunshine t'other mawnin.' The mail bag on his shoulder was as open as a pinochle game in the hold of a battleship. Several pussyfooted humans mis took "Seadog" for a mispaintcd ci gar store Indian, apparently. Four out of 100 of the goofs who passed ''Seadog" failed to throw waste paper in the mail bag. Johnson was unaware of the depredations tha! were being committed. Not long after, he laid the mail bag with contents on Lieutenant Com mander Lowder's desk. Upon inspection, the L. C. didn'l know whether the Finn brothers had rifled the mail at the postoffice or "Seadog" Johnson had picked up some junker's daily gatherings. "Scadog's" out gunnin' now for the tramps who derided his mail bag with waste paper. Yanks Approve Efforts Of British Army Actors Coblenz. April 24.
