THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, MAY 3. 1920. MANY AMERICANS IN GRAVE DANGER FROM TURK MOBS Neutrality Out of Question in Besieged Cities of Cecilia Appeal to United States Authorities. iw York Tlmea-f'hlragn Tribune Cable. Copyright. 10JO. T?cirut, May 2. The French have evacuated Adana and there are many Americans in Cilician cities which are beleaguered by the Turks. French Harrisons at Bclrmadir and Pozanti has not been heard from for a month. Americans must be pot out lof the beleaguered cities of Cilicia, where their lives arc in serious danger. A message has reached Beirut. concern ing mission workers who escaped . from Aintab and Urfa after being besieged a month. John H. Boyd, who was director at Aintab, is en route to Constantinople to appeal to . the United States high commission er there for aid, and if necessary, he will go to Paris. Loretta Biglcy of Chicago and Elizabeth Harris of Fprt Wayne, Ind.. are now at Beirut. - They say the Turks were fought for 21 days at Aintab. When they left, the wom en say, they promised American who had lived there for 25 years to spare no ertort to bring to the atten- on ot the American authorities the dangerous position of the Americans in Lilicia. I hey hope for action. They say that neutrality is out of the question for Americans in be sieged cities. They declare that Americans at Aintab and Urfa were forced, in self defense, to shoot Turks. Turkish nationalists are accusing the Americans of aiding the Arme nians, and the predicament of the Americans at Aintab is madevworse because they refuse to desert the v- orphans. Instead, they insist on re moving a thousand of them from the bandit infested territory into the peaceful zone. This would neces sitate a powerful escort The big question arises as to the source from which such an escort .would come, from the Turks or the French. Americans at Aintab now owe their safety to the strength of French occupation. Americans leav ing there, however, with a French escort would invite massacre at the hands of Turkish-nationalists on the charge that the Americans were pro French.

ASPIRIN FOR COLDS Name "Bayer" is on Genuine Aspirin say Bayer For Boys and Girls Wild Life! of Forest The Buzzing Bumble Bee. KRAN'CIS HOLT-WHEELER. If there are plenty of old maids in a village the clover crop will be good. This sounds like nonsense, but it's a real bit of science. One of the greatest naturalists in the world worked it out. It acts this way: Where there are old maids, there are cats: where there are cats, there will be fewer field mice, because the cats will eat them; where there are fewer field mice, there will be more bumMe bee nests, because the mice destroy them; where there are plenty of bumble bees, the clover will be better fertilized and thus make a better crop. Of all the ex amples showing the dependence of one thing on another in nature, there is none better than this, but, unless one knew the steps, it would be mighty hard to figure out how an old maid could affect the clover crop. Try it on someone in your class and -see. The bumble bee or, humble hee is one of the very first of the sum mer workers. She makes a nest when few flowers ar out, and there is so little honey that she has to re open her nest and feed the babies through a hole in the cell. Only the queens live through the winter. Une ot the most interesting things about the bumble bee is that she is half-way between the solitary bee. where the worker and queen are one. and the hive bee, where the worker never becomes a queen, nor the queen a worker. With the bum ble bees, if the queen dies, some times the workers can keep the com munity from dying out. This, of course, would be quite impossible with the hive or honey bees. A keen observer will often find, in a humble bee s nest, cells made bv an other insect. There's an interesting neia tor discovery along this line. (Tomorrow-Huntine Eve sees Waterspout.) I'M THE GUY!

I want you to repeat what you've said. Maybe I'm stalling for time. I can't help, it, if :t annoys you, or that you think I'm a "whatter." That's your concern, if I say it too often to suit you. What difference does it make? If you think anything is worth telling me, you ought to think it's worth repeating. Besides, maybe, I don't under stand and am stalling for time to think. In that way I can get my mind going and you think only that I didn't hear what you said. Also I may have been reading and didn't get all that you said and so I ask After Whooping Cough -What? This is No. 4 of a Series of advertisements, prepared by a com petent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's Vapo Rub may be of value in this condition. Whooping cough is the "mean est" disease that childhood is "heir to. While rarely fatal in Itself, except to children under two years of age, still it hangs on fcjfip long the coughing paroxysms ere so violent, preventing proper sleep and digestion that when jthe vdiscase does disappear it leaves the child weakened and run down. In addition the violent coughing racks and strains the air passages and after re- . covery this irritation frequently remains. , During this period of conval escence the child should he most carefully watched until full strength is restored and the air Ipassages regain their normal tone . A prominent authority even goes so far as to say "There is more aiminal neglect, in connection with whooping cough than with any other disease." , While the disease is active, IVick's VapoRub usually helps to 'lessen the violence of the cough- ' ling, but it is during conval 'escence that Vicks is most val uable. I Because Vicks acts locally by Stimulation thru the skin to 60c draw out the inflammation, at tract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough . In addition the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vapor ized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long , thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. " 'Stjgwv Vicks should be r rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered - with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth ing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying swallow a small bit the size of a pea. Children's digestions are deli cate easily disturbed by . too much "dosing." Vicks, there fore, is particularly recommended, since it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects.

Take astronomy. Looked at as a mathematical problem, it's a stiff grind. Even to learn solar, planetary and stellar motions isn't easy. But, if you make it per sonal, there's a new interest, and once one is interested in a subject, it never seems half as hard. Looked at from the earth, the sun seems to follow a regular trail among the stars. This is called the ecliptic. , broad belt, 8 degrees wide, on each side of this line is called the zodiac. This is divided into 32 parts for the 12 months, and each part is named after the name of the constellation of stars through which the sun seems to pass. In the 3,000 years that have passed since this zodiac was named, owing to "precession," the signs of the zodiac and of the constellations have shifted one plr.ee.

The ancients believed that the month in which a boy or girl was born determined character. Thus from March 21 to April 20, the per son born was under the influence of the ram, from April 21 to May 20 under the bull, and so forth. There are many so-called inter pretations. Here's a classic one: Horn under the Ram (Jason's Golden Fleece), a love for adventure and discovery; under the Bull (also Venus), fond of the opposite sex; under the Twins (Castor and Pol lux), courage and helpfulness; un der the Crab (Mercury), smartness in affairs; under the Lion (Jupiter), poor employe, but good boss; under the Virgin (Ceres), fond of garden ing and agriculture, thrifty; under the Balance (Vulcan), good worker, just; under the Scorpion (Mars), fond of fighting; under the Archer (Diana), fond of hunting, aggres sive;! under Capricornus (fan), fond of nature, fickle; under the Water Bearer (Juno), good organizer, poor in detail, wasteful, jealous; un der the Fishes (Neptune), fond of travel and good instinct for com merce.

They're good words, even though they may not be as polite as others, and I can use them if I wish. If they worry you, that's your concern, not mine. Talk louder or be willing to repeat. Say things so I can understand, or forget it and let me stall for time to think so that I may not have to admit you're too deep for me. That's how I feel about it. WHY? Does a Dog Turn Round and Round Before Lying Down? (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syn dicate, Inc.) This action is one of the clear est indications of the fact that the forefathers of the dogs we now know ran wild in the woods and that when they were ready to rest they would turn round and round in a circle in order to smooth down the grass or weeds so that they might have a com fortable resting place. In spite of the fact that centuries have passed and the great majority of the dogs of today never have to make their beds in such ajnan ner, the habit persists because it has become an instinct of the animal through countless years of training in the open. Bearing these facts in mind, it is rather amusing to watch a pampered Pomeranian that would starve unless someone brought him his meat, well cooked and delicately prepared, carefully turning around on his silken pillow before he lies down for a nap. But it is only another proof of the lasting effect of in stinct and habit. Tomorrow's Question Why do people shake hands? Lowden Receives 64,551 Plurality in Illinois Springfield, 111., May 2. Gov.

Kit and Kat were in a hurry to get home, for fear the saint would get there first. It was growing late, so they all went to a waffle shop for their sup per. In the shop a woman sat before an open fire. On the tire was a bi; waffle iron. She made the waffles, put sugar and butter on them and passed a plate of them to each one. Oh, how good they were. When they had eaten their waffle?, Father and Mother Vedder and the Twins went back to the canal and put on their skates. It was late in the afternoon. They took hold oi hands and began to skate' toward home, four in a row. Father and Mother Vedder were on the outside, and "the Twins in the middle. It was dark when they reached home. Vrouw Vedder lighted the tire, while Father Vedder went to feed the cow and see that the chick ens and ducks and geese were all safe for the night. Kit and Kat ran for their wooden shoes. They each took one and put some hay in it. This was for St. Nicholas to give to his horse. Father Vedder put the shoes on the mantel. Then they hurried to bed to make morning come quicker. Father and Mother Vedder sat up late that night. Mother Vedder said it was to prepare the goose for din ner the next day. . When the Twins woke the next morning the fire was already roar ing up the chimney, and the kitchen was warm as toast. They hopped out of bed and ran for their wooden shoes. Mother Vedder reached up to the mantel shelf for them. Truly, the hay was gone and there in each shoe was a package done up in paper. "Oh. he did come! lie did come!" cried Kat. "O, mother, you're sure you didn't build the fire before he had got out of the chimney?" "I'm sure," said Vrouw Vedder. "I've made the fire on many a St. Nicholas morning, and I've never burned him yet!" The Twins climbed up the steps to their cupboard bed and sat on the edge of it to open their packages. In Kit's was a big St. Nicholas cake, like the one in the shop win dow! And in Kat's were three cakes like birds, and two like fish! "Just what we wanted!" said Kit and Kat. "Do you suppose he heard us say so?" "St. Nicholas can hear what peo ple think," said Vrouw Vedder. "He is coming to see you tonight at 6 o'clock, and you must be ready to sine him a little song and answer any questions he asks you. "How glad I am that we are so good!" said Kit. "We'll see what the saint thinks about that," said the mother. "No.v get dressed; for grandfather and grandmother will be here for din ner, and we're going to have roast goose, and there's a great deal to do." (Rights Reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.)

LUTHERAN MASS MEETING STARTS RELIEF DRIVE Omaha Committees Ready to Begin E very-Member, Can vass Next Sunday for European Sufferers. Lutherans of Omaha gathered in mass meeting at Kountze Memorial Lutheran church yesterday after noon to hear Rev. Dr. C. P. Mac Laughlin of Fittsburg, Ta., and Rev. Dr. George T. Rygh of Columbia S. C, tell of the needs of Lutherans in the war-torn regions of France, Russia, Poland, Germany, Austria, Finland, Czecho-Slovakia and other countries of continental Europe. This ineeti"- was preparatory to the campaign to be made by the United Lutheran church in America. 1,500,000 strong, to raise $1,800,001) to relieve European Lutherans. The campaign will begin next Sunday and continue one week. Nebraska's quota of this sum is $47,000, to be contributed by the 43,000 members of 331 congregations. "These, our brcthern, are perishing without the barest necessities of life," said Rev. Dr. Rygh. "In Poland they are homeless and churchless, kept from death only by charity. In Russia the war and the red terror have scattered them. In Hungary they are persecuted, their churches and schools command eered. Thirty million Lutherans in Europe are in severe straits." , - Rev. MacLaughlin pointed to the. previous Lutheran united campaigns. "Last fall we gathered 1,700,000 pounds of clothing and sent it to Lutherans and others in Poland who had no clothing of any kind. This is a call to real service and the . Lutherans of the United States will respond to it as they have in the past. We shall , be disappointed unless the total sum raised goes above $3,000,000 although the sum asked for is only $1,800,000." Rev. Fred R.
