J 7 fHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; MAY 2. 1920. SURPLUS WOMAN HAS OWN IDEAS OF UNDESIRABLES Declares Unmarried Men Are Just as Superfluous As Are Bachelor Maids. London, May 1. "Leave us alone. We're all right," comes the exasperated wail of one Rachel Fer iguson, who admjts she may be a surplus woman; but who, neverthe ;less draws her own blacklist of '"women who would not be missed." ' The surplus woman discussion has been too much for Rachel's patience, and she says as much in the Daily Sketch.- ; - "If to be unmarried renders you superfluous," she writes, "then the war has created a great number of superfluous men young 'fellows who cannot keep themselves, let alone a .wife." Then this is her list: "To my mind the women truly falling under this head art those who are 'catty' to their fellow women, the scandal-mongers, the sleek matinee-going, bargain-hunting, never-rise-until-eleven-ers, the willing loafers through life. "To them add the woman who ; marries for comfort and refuses to " have children (without having made i her intentions tlain to the man and ' giving him a chance to escapeherX ' because babies will interfere with jazz teas and eat up money she - wants for hats. , "And don't forget, the woman without, a jense of humor, who is perhaps the most subtly superfluous of the lot, being neither, a completed ' human being nor a satisfactory citi , zen of the world." - - Aged Omahan, When Young, Trailed Outlaws to "Den" "Uncle Dick" James Was Scout and Indian Trail er in Early Days. Richard F. James, 84 years old, better known as "Uncle Dick," said to be Nebraska's only living scout and Indian fighter of the early days, is now an Omahan and a real live booster of the town he lives in, too. Stories James tells of the early days of scouting over the wild plains and battling with the friendless and half civilized Indians, would fill hun dreds of books, although the veteran is not the type of man who cares to talk about himself or brag of the hardships endured. James has lived in Omaha for a number of years. A business that he tried to make successful became a failure and. he then came to Ne braska's metropolis, where he is now connected with one of the large in surance companies and traveling on the road. History Told By Friend. Most of the early History of the old scout was told by one of his friends, C. R. Pinneo, 3117 Lincoln boulevard. Whenever James comes to Omaha from one of his road trips, he never , misses calling on Mr, Pinneo. It was through these friendly meetings that Pinned was able to learn anything of the scout's early history. James was in Nebraska when the Forty-Niners . passed through in their mad rush for gold. He was the first sheriff of Dawson county and was engaged in many battles with different outlaw bands who were ignorant of laws and the con stitution of the United States. Threats Sent to Sheriff, During the sensational episode in the early days when Mitchell and Ketchum were both burned at the stake, Nebraska pioneers will re call how intense the feeling was (7 v ' I I if H f V , against the 'outlaw gang that killed the two men. Posses -formed all over the county, hunted the slayers of the two men but to no avail. Threats were sent to James, who was sheriff there, to keep away from the gang or rdeatlv would follow. . Old trails 'were the only clues Sheriff James had to follow. He ran everyone down and .finally.' captured the men.jn a dugout which they had constructed and where ; they hoped to defy their trailers, ; Always Been a Booster. James,-frora the day. he called Ne braska his home, has always been a booster for the state and was at all times, even jn 'the' early days, doing his part in building up the Antelope YOUNG TRAVELER ESCAPES PERILS OF LONG TRIP Siberian Widow and Child Are Reunited After a Year of Separation. "' Hayden, Colo., May 1. After traveling approximately 7,000 miles alone, 3-year-old Sbiro Chakirido, is safely in his mother's arms here, while the lad's stepfather, Louis Charos, ex-soldier, is tilling the soil on a 320-acre plot upon which the little lamily of three expect to spend their remaining days. Through efforts of the Red Cross state. He has one son, Richard, of Gary, 111., and one daughter, Martha, of Chickasee, Okl. Another son, Lt. Edgar James; was killed in an accident during the war while, sta tioned at Camp Lewis. It was. just last week that James met his two children after being sep erated, from them for many years. Both son and daughter have done much traveling but always kept up their correspondence with their father. the bahy, who has been separated from its mother for over a year, was started on his long ocean voyage across the Pacific ' He was met by a representative of the Red Cross in Sail Francisco and prepared for the last leg of his long journey from Vladivostok to Colorado. Two years ago Mrs. Chahirido and her husband kept a restaurant in a Siberian town. Then came the up risings and turmoil incident to the "Red terror" that has spelled finis for so many happy homes. One day during the disturbances the bolshe vists entered the little restaurant and killed Mrs. Chakirido's husband. By a miracle the wife and baby es caped to her. home, near the town of Chita. When the American army forces entered Siberia Louis Charos, a member of Company H, 175th infan try, met the pretty widow, and they were married in February, 1919. Mrs. Charos returned to America with her soldier husband upon the evacu ation of Siberia by Uncle Sam's men, but was obliged to leave her little son behind. After months of frenzied search ?nd through the aid of the American Red Cross, the Charos were able to get in touch with the boy, and little Sbiro was started upon the long journey that has ended in the happy reunion with his mother.

Sotne of yon will say one tire and some 'another. But do you know? The tire situation is constantly changing. (Ml good tires have been constantly bettered. " The cost per mile is going down.' Mileage is increasing. Do you know which hre is leading in this new day trend? v Do you know what service is expected in a prime tire nowadays? Make :. comparison A 15-Year Verdict The Crowell Auto Supply Co., Newton Center, Mass say that tor 15 years they hare) handled every popular make el tire. Nerer has a tire afforded their customers such untrertal Mti (faction as the Miller, la 2 years they have not had a dozen adiestments, and they have nerer known a Miller user to chance to another tire. -i The Miller Tire is perhaps toddy the most talked-about tire in Amer ica. - Users everywhere are citing ; mileage records which surprise them. And, above all else, amazing uni formit; .' t Large tire users are making count less comparisons. Sometimes over 20 makes-are tested against Millers. And Millers are winning enormous cdntracts on these records. Have you compared a Miller with the tire you' favor? I not, you owe that to yourself. And you owe it to the Miller. . ; ; ; The new-day tire Miller Tires both Cords and Fab rics are built by new-day methods. The strength requirements are ex treme. Over $300 daily is spent to prove that cords and fabrics meet them, f V- '" ' EigHi machines in the factory are ran night and day to watch the mile age under severe conditions. Count- less other tests are constantly made on fieary cars, on taxis, trucks and jitneys. Five other good tires are thus constantly compared with the Millers, to prove that the .Millers excel them. Every tire signed Every Miller Tire is signed. A record is kept of the maker, the process and' the inspector. If a tire proves defective, both the maker and inspector are penalized. If a tire disappoints, we learn &e reason tor it. fYear after year the Miller Tires" have thus been constantly bettered. And these endless comparisons prove them to be the best tires built today. They do not vary, The tires are uniform. Not one tire in a hundred proves in any way defective.. There are numerous large cities from which, last year, not a single Miller Tire came back. In Akron their home town more Miller Tires are sold at retail "than all other makes together. Not a single Miller Tire, made under ,the new methods, has ever come back with the tread gone " ; These new-day tires', all over the coun try, are making remarkable records. They have won hundreds of thousands of permanent users by comparative per formance. : ;v , You should try these tires. Compare the mileage with the mileage you get now. It wilhwe believe, change your whole conception of what a tire should do. When you buy a new car insist on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now supply them and there is no extra charge.

The Most Talked-about Tires in America Ccrdi or Fabric " Geared-to-the-Road MILLER RUBBER CO. Omaha Branch 2220 Farnam Street. Phone Douglas 8924. and Alamito Cream 3 , m i i a a' s 3 X i i m " It Pays to Advertise " Forty -eight thousand people attended the Furniture Pageant. The following facts will probably be of interest to all of them i The purpose of the "Pageant" was to prove that "careful co-ordination" of Furniture with other things that go to make homes beautiful, not only effects most satisfactory results, but constitutes an actual saving in money, in the long run; because that which is satisfactory does not have to be "made over." v 1 The fact that every piece of furniture, rug or drapery fabric is from our own stock and not imported for the occasion will prove the ability of a mid-west house to compete with any like concern in the country. The Furniture Pageant is an Orchard & Wilhelm Company origination planned by the adver ' ' tising department and directed by a special committee of three, who were in turn aided by at least a hundred and fifty loyal volunteers; employes of the store. In addition to this,' Thomp son, Belden & Company sent a score of fashionably gowned models and supplied linens to the various settings, for which we wish to thank them publicly. The cost of the whole affair, instead of being heavy as one might suppose, was very small indeed, owing to the fact that the exhibits came from the regular stocks carried by the store at all times. Another thing that all people hereabouts will regard with favor is that the Orchard & Wilhelm store caters to everybody desiring value, faithful service and courtesy, whether they live in a cottage or a castle, because the merchandise carried by the company is "From the Cheapest That's GOOD to the Best That's Made." The best standards of value are evenly maintained at all times, because "the sale" is not a habit that forces the price of regular goods up, but is only used, and that only occasionally, as a means of keeping our stocks free from discontinued patterns, etc. The economical handling of business depends unon the following factors: Our abilitv to buv in sufficient quantities to insure lowest prices; the capacity to warehouse a large reserve ; the elimina tion of demurrage charges; the ability to take advantage of all cash discounts; the fact that we a. i s i i ' 3 m 5 m 9 t: m 5 9 . e m v are wnoiesaiers and manufacturers as well as retailers; truthful advertising; a large and efficient fleet of delivery trucks; skilled "year-round" employes in all mechanical departments, eliminating the necessity of "jobbing out;" an effective operating committee to pass on all store policies, even pageants, and last and most important of all, three hundred emploves who take a pride in 100 per cent loyalty. iiiauiiiiiiiiiifliiiiittuiiiiuiiiittiuM i I - e I.
