LEGION MEMBERS
PLAN WAR UPON
COMMERCE BODY
Are Aroused by Resolution
Passed by Omaha Chamber
On Bonus Plan and De
mand Retraction..
Thart maHc vestrrdav bv oronv
Jnrnt Omaha members of the Amer
ican Legion to withdraw their mem
berships in the. Chamber ot Com
merce, as a result of a resolution
adopted by the chamber executive
committee last Tuesday, brought a
conciliatory statement "yesterday
afternoon from J. "David Larson,
Chamber of Commerce commis
sioner. '.'
Aroused Legion members con
sidered the offending resolution as
a direct slap at the soldier bonus
plan backed by the national Legion
organization. .. ; -
Larson Makes Statement.
"I am sure Chamber of Commerce
members did not and do not want
to do anything to injurechances
of former' soldiers for obtaining
additional - compensation for their
' war services," Commissioner Lar
son announced. "Because of the
misunderstanding that has arisen
the resolution adopted last . Tues-
day will be taken up again at the
next meeting of the chamber ex
ecutive committee, and referred to
a special committee, which will be
instructed to invite Legion officials
for a conference. The wording of
the resolution, I am sure, will be
changed if it is found it does not
, express clearly the attitude of the
chamber in favor of a constructive
bonus plan." . - ' ''
Following is the resolution which
aroused a storm of protest among
.Legion members and officials: "
- Here's Resolution. .
"Resolved, That . the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce deplores any
tardiness in generous treatment of
all persons in. the armed forces who
are disable.d or sick in consequence
of their service in the great war, as
well as for the dependents of those
who lost their lives, apd advocates
immediate provision for them in
accordance with their just dues. The
Omaha Chamber approves such con
structive measures as may be di
rectly calculated to enable such per
sons to -cultivate the soil, build
homes or obtain vocational train
ing. It warns, however, against a
general cash bonus given without
discrimination."
Warning Held Unnecessary.
Allan Tukey, vice commander of
the National Legion organization,
pointed out the resolution specifical
ly advocated a bonus only for sick
or disabled ex-soldiers. He cofr
demned the "warning" against a
general cash bonus as uncalled for,
inasmuch as no organization of
world war fighters had ever backed
such a plan.
, Predict General Exodus.
Hird St'ryker and Harry Mont
gomery, members of the executive
committee of the Douglas county
Legion post, predicted a general"
exodus of Legion members from the
Chamber of Commerce' unless the
resolution was amended or retracted.
Numerous threats of resignations
from the chamber were voiced at a
,mcetinc yesterday of the committee
' in chargc'of the Legion membership
campaign, which opens next Mon
day. Some members advocated mak
' ing the offending resolution an issue
in the membership campaign and
"declaring war" on the Chsfmber of
Commerce. .
Commissioner Larson explained
late yesterday the resolution was an
exact copy of one adopted several
weeks ago by the National Chamber,
cf Commerce. At that time, he
stated, . congress was considering a
' hill fnr a straight cash bonus to ex-
soldiers and chamber members L

him from a death sentence by tes

"Dickie" ' Schwartz, freed , from
prison and no longer under the
shadow of a death sentence imposed
in police court last December, was
wagging his tail, chuckling dog
chuckles and barking in high glee
Wednesday afternoon at his home,
2050 North Nineteenth street.
He was no more enthusiastic over
being at home again, however, than
were Pearle Schwartz, 16 years old,
and Arthur Schwartz, 14, at having
him vith them after his five months'
enforced absence behind the bars of
the city dog pound.
"Dickie's" liberty was restored
Wednesday by an. order of District

on an allegation tfm he had mali

A Flying Table
GRANT M. HYDE
"You could fly a table if you had
a . strong enough motor," an air
plane designer once said, "provided
tlfat the motor could be made light
enough to be in proportion to the
plane. Some "of the newer French
combat planes bear quite a resem
blance to two legless tables, one
abo,ve the, other."
As you watch an airplane glidiifg
along, high in the air. it looks like
a feather floating in the wind. But
it is not floating. It is driving.
Gravitation pulls it down, the pres
sure of air under the ..planes drives
it. up, and the motor forces it for
ward so that there shall be pressure
under, the planes. If the motor
stops," then an airplane comes down,
gliding or falling. ,
Airships need their motors only
for forward driving and steering.
They need a motor to fly, but not
to float. But. because they depend
fcr their lifting powers, on a gas
lighter than air, and the difference
in weight is" not very great, all air
ships must be large. A combat
piane, like a Spad, hovering over a
Zeppelin, looks like a wasp -Covering
over an elephant.
The combined power and light
ness .of modern motors is what has
made flying possible in our times,
and never before.' Until the gaso
line motor, was perfected, man did
not . have a self-contained power
plant Jight enough to raise, its own
weight by the power it developed.
And, even if preceding generations
had developed the idea, they could
not have made it practical, lacking
our mod-ern knowledge of metals
..nd metallurgy. The success of the
bird, as a flying machine, does iot
depend upon the construction of the
wyigs, but upon the extraordinary
force and lightness of the , power
plant 'which lies in his nervous and
muscular system.'

A Touring Grindstone, f
FRANCIS BOLT-WHEELER
Did you ever run across a woman
who really kept her kitchen knives
or scissors sharp? How many lawn
mowers do you know that are hard
to push because the blades are blunt?
How many people have tools in the
woodshed which they seldom use be
cause; they have let them " be
come rusted or dull?
If a fellow will take the trouble to
learn how to sharpen tools and a
first-class cutler will teach him how
for a couple of dollars and if he
will invest in a grindstone, a few
files and the like he can have, a
steady job and be his own boss in
any farming neighborhood, village,
small town, young city or metro
polis. It is one of the rules of commerce
that there is more money in doing
small things -at a low price, but
which are needed everywhere. You
can be sure that two out of every
three houses you will, go to will
have something that needs sharpen
ing. Of course, like everything
else, you must know how to do it
well. You can earn more at a dime
for sharpening a knife than in any of
the fancy jobs which seem to pay
a lot. And your original investment
is small. - Also you are, your own
boss. Since the job is j done in a
few minutes, you can .begin, any
time you like, and stop, any time
you like.yf ; .
Two boys together, one to collect
articles to be sharpened .and the
other to do the sharpening, the first
one turning the grindstone when
any heavy piece of work is to' be
done, an axe, for example, can easily
make three dollars apiece per day,
and there are not many jobs that
pay that and allow one's independ
tnce at the same .time. And, if a
boy gets expert at such jobs as. set
ling a saw which is difficult this
rate of earning may be doubled.

Omaha consumers are likely to be
paying 33 cents 'a pound for sugar
within the next few weeks, accord
ing toiE. M. Reynolds, head of the
Omaha fair price commission. He
made the announcement yesterday,
following a ' meeting Wednesday
afternoon with the wholesalers rep
resenting food products and - other
lines. . ' ' '
"Sugar is now being sold by Oma
ha retailers all the way from 20 to
31 cents a pound, based ton the price
at which they had purchased their
supply," Mr. ' Reynolds explained.
"Stocks bought at the lower prices
are becoming exhausted and a fur
ther increase appears probable."
Retail sugar sales are being

officials to see that retailers do not
collect more profit than 2 cents a

Japanese Twins tn the .Garden.
It was springtime and the flow
ers in the garden were just pushing
their , leaves through the ground.
The sun was shining, and a little
new yellow butterfly, that had only
just crept out of its snug cocoon
that very day, was dancing about in
the sunshine.
"I suppose we were new once, too,
weren't we?" said Take, watching
the butterfly.
"I suppose wewere," Taro an
swered, "We grew; right up out of
the root of a" tree. ' Natsu told me
so." ' . '
"I wonder which tree it was,"
Take -said. - .
"It must have been one of the
trees in our own garden, of course,"
Taro j answered; "or else we
shouldn't be here."
"Wouldn't it have been a terrible
ffccidorU if we had happened to
grow in some other garden?" said
Take. She looked quite scared just
at the vfry thought of such a thing.
"Maybe if we had we shouldn't
have been ourselves at ; all," Taro
answered. He looked a little scared,
too. , ,
"Who should be have been, then?"
asked Take. , , ' ,
"I -don't know, I'm sure," Taro
said. I can't think. But, anyway,
we're lucky that it didn't happen.
We're here and we're ourselves 1"
"Let's go into the garden this
minute and see if we can find Bot'
Chan's tree," said Take. "He's so
new that maybe we can find the very
spot where he grew." -
"The fairies would surely hide the
place so we couldn't find it," said
Taro; "but we can try. Let's go
softly; then maybe they won't hear
us." p . ; - '.

WHY? -
Do Men's Hats Have Small Bows
Inside
The little bow of (.silk ribbon
which adorns the back of the
sweat band inside a man's hat
is such an usual adjunct of mas
culine headgear that most peo
ple don't give it any thought at
all or, if they So, they think
that it is placed there to hold the
band in place. v As a matter of
fact, this was its original pur
pose, but hats are now so . ac
curately shaped that the bow is
entirely superfluous and is re
tained only in deference to a fash
ion ofseveral hundred years ago.
In the days when hunting hats
were widely worn, the manufac
ture of these had not. reached its
present state of efficiency and
and men found it difficult to se
cure a hat that fitted sufficiently
snug for it to remain in place
during the excitement of the
chase. Also, a number of hunt
ers suffered from injuries re
reived when they, fell from their
horses and landed on their heads.
So the Loudon hatmakcrs hit
upon the expedient of making
their hats with adjustable leather
linings, which were well padded
and laced at the back with a
small throng or bow Of'silk. 4The
padding has been eliminated and
it is no longer necessary to ad
just the size of one's hat by al
tering the sweat band but the
little bow at the back, inside the
hat, still remains.
