the Pacific coast, must hie himself
to his omce.
It is all because the State of New
ork is "saving daylight and the
rest of the country is not.
On account of the difference of
time the market opens at 7 o'clock
coast time regularly, and since the
New Yorkers shoved back their
clocks it is necessary for San Fran
cisco brokers to be in their omces
at 6 o'clock.
Whenthe change was proposed
coast brokers frantically petitioned
the board of governors of the New
York Exchange not to change their
time, but their petitions -were in vain.
Stens were then taken to oersuade
the city fathers of San Francisco
also to adopt daylight saving. An
ordinance was drawn and went to
committee and there it died.
As a result the financial district
witnesses the unusual sight of a
string of high-priced automobiles
parked there at 6 in the morning.
"I often meet myself coming to
work if I've been out the night be
fore,"' complained one broker. "It
was bad enough Waving to get to the
office at 7' o'clock,' but 6-is impost
sible. But there - is no way out
ofit."
Brokers' operators have to come
to work now at 5 instead of 6, as
before.
However, the only bright lining
of tUc otherwise dark cloud which
hangs over the brokerage district is
the fact that they have their after
noons practically free. ,

"it had to come.. The high price
of real estate made us do it, along
with the evermounting costs of
shovels, spades and other essentials
to the construction of graves."
Fred Larkin of the West Lawn
cemetery: also admits that his asso
ciation had to raise the ante on
their holes in the ground.
But West Lawn and Forest Lawn
are the only two in Omaha, where
the prices have increased.
''Profiteering is unknown here,"
says D. C. Callahan, superintendent
at Prospect cemetery.-
"Our lots are the same price they
were 30 years -ago. It costs you two
and three times as much to build
a cozy.littje home 'way out in the
suburbs now as it did 10 years ago,
but out here let me show you some
of our choice "
"Wait," we interposed, "were not
looking for anyfhing- out here. JvVait
a few years. We prefer to battle
with life for some time yet."
Mr. Callahan has been with Pros
pect cemetery for 30 years. He has
no memory of an advance in price
for lots there in that time. ,
You Can't Be Ejected., -
"I consider this the best location
in Omaha for a permanent home,"
continued Mr. Callahan. , .. ,
"After all, a man spends more
time here after he makes up his
mind to come, than he does in any
other place.' And now is the time
to make reservations for homes
here, because if things keen mount
ing on the price list as they have
in the past, we will be forced to
advance our revenue in order to
stay modern.,
Lots in Mt. Hope cemetery sell
tor tne same price they did 10 years
ago, and a canvass of other sextons
and superintendents and secretaries
of cemetery associations disclosed
the Cheering fact that their. Quota
tions, too, are uncnangea.

I guess I gotta right to tell em

"Don't try Xo kid me," the officer

Huh! I don't, don't I?" and To-

Box G-27, Omaha Be
; .Twenty-two dollars a day was col
lected by Douglas county last year
for marriage licenses thrcugh the
hymeneal bureau of the county
fudge's office. j
'iwo bucks is the price of4a ticket
on the matrimonial limited now,
same as it was 20 years ago. Wittf
the exception of water, electric cur
rent, gold dust, the Saturday Eve
ning Post and air, the marriage li
cense is the only thing that has not
increased in price during recent
years.
Yea, bo, and it s the -same price
to one and all. Tall or short, young
or old, white, black or medium, fat
or thin, beautiful or not,, they all
pay two dollars. bucks, beans.
smackers, iron men,shekles or si
moleons and'pass upon the inside"
to see the big show of matrimony.
There are many connictine reports
about this show, some declaring it
is undoubtedly the greatest exhibi
tion in the civilized universe, others
ing to it and that it isn't worth the
price of admission. , , .
Comfortable Annual Income,
The admission price which Doug
las county collects amounts to ' a
comfortable sum annually. Last
year it footed up to $6,640, approxi
mately $Zt a day for every day the
box omce was open.
In 1918 "Cupid" Stubbendorf col
lected only $4,854 in license fees,
for 2,427 licenses, this being due to
the fact that so many of our swains
were participating in the well-known
European war. Thel had enougn
war, so to spealc, without getting
married. .
Mr. Stubbendorf keeps in a little
book a record of his sales, of mar
riage licenses to the unsuspecting
public.. This shows, that during th
eight years ending with 1919 he sold
a toml of 21,759 licenses at a flat
ra'te of.$2 each, a. total of $43,518".
If this sum were given to some
happy pair it would enable them to
set ur housekeeping in a modest way
nowadays and possibly to pay the
rent for ,two or three months m
advance.
"Cupid" Has a Monopoly.
Mr. Stubbendorf has a monopoly
on marriage licenses in uougia?
county. Nobody else can issue any.
Of course, in marriage it isn t the
original cost, but the "upkeep" that
runs into money.
Besides, the $2 isn t even all of
the original, cost There's the cere
mony that has to be performed. Tha
county has a ceremony department
and Ijjst year 401 couples went from
the license counter directly into the
office of County Judge Crawford,
where the marriage ceremony was
performed at a modest but fixed
charge of $3.
Judge Crawford doesn't brag
about it, but he runs far ahead of
"Marrying Parson" Savidge in num
ber of wedding ceremonies per
formed. . In the first four months of
this year he married 205 couples, an
average of more than two for each
working day.; The county also gets
these fees, which last year amounted
to $1,203.
Some "Tightwad" Bridegrooms.
Preachers have no "fixed charge
and get anywhere from. 50 cents or
less to $100 or more. Bridegrooms
have been knowrt to gt the cere
mony for nothing by oromisine to
"send a check" and then forgetting
to do so.
The official county ceremonv.
priced at $3, is the shortest known.
K takes just 33 seconds. This fig
ures out to 9 cents per second for
the judge's time. It happens thus,
for example:,, ,
2:11:00 Couple enters judge's of
fice. 1
2:11:01 Judge dashes in front
other door, coming from the court
room, where he is hearing a case.
2:11:03 "Do you take this man
to be your lawful husband?" asks
the judge.
2:11:06 "Yes, sir," says the bride.
2:11:08 "Do you take this woman.

Nurse's Testimony in Divorce
Trial Raises Moral Question
-rOpjnion. Is Divided.
Boston, May 15. Is it possible for
a married man to pay attention to
a single woman? '
Is it nice of the woman to receive
such attentions?
iuiss Margaret Merrv, a voung
nurse, testified at the divorce trial
of Harry M. Garfield that she had
gone riding with Garfield when she
knew he was married, and that she
"thought it was perfectly all right
for a respectable eirl to. have the
friendship of a respectable man ivei!
if he was married."
"Are such matters becoming more
lax, due to the new freedom of
woman and woman's active associa
tion with man in all walks of life?"
"Is the old order chantrine? Js it
all right?"
These questions were put to three
representative women.

There's Worrying In V
France, Too, Over the .
Next Apartment House
Paris, May 15. The difficulty of
finding 'an apartment or a house itjv
which to live in Paris is growing
more serious every day r.nd is at
tracting columns of attention inthe
newspapers.
Two French generals are now dis
puting possession of an apartment
in the Rue Marignan. General Reg
nier, the present occupant, has re
ceived notice that he . must move
and surrender possession to General
Battaille, .who has offered more
money. But General Rcgnier, who
is the father of six children, cannot
find another apartment and has re
fused to move. The two generals
went to court about it. The judge
settled the matter by granting Gen
eral Regnier a delay until October
15, on condition that he allow Gen
eral Battaille one room in which to
live.
The lodging crisis reaches even to
the Island of Madagascar, accord
ing to a French colonial officer now
serving there.
The rebuilding of cities in the dev
astated region of France, has drawn
away thousands of building labor-!
ers.. Many were killed in the war.
Thousands of carpenters have
turned their attention to furniture
making, a business almost interrup
ted during the war, and which they
find much 'more profitable than
their former trade. But the chief
factor hindering building operations
in Paris is the high cost of both
labor and material. ,'

WILSON'S STAND
ON PEACE PACT
SCORED BY REED
V
Missouri Senator Declares No
body Outside of Lunatic
Asylum Believes Unquali
- tied Approval Possible.
Cblrar Trlban-Omaha Boa Leased Wire.
Washington, May 15 If Presi
dent Wilson dictates the platform
of the San Francisco convention
it will be the "epitaph of present
day democracy," because "nobody
outside a lunatic asylum believes
unqualified approval of the treaty
possible," Senator R.ee'd of Missouri,
democrat, declared in the senate
Friday. 1
The senator's speech j- virtually
concluded the general debate on the
peace resolution and cleared the way
for the final vote in the senate to
day. Senator Reed declared he
was going to vote for the Knox
resolution and indications are the
measure will be passed by a majori- ,
ty of about eight or 10 votes.
"No sane man believes it pos
sible, Mr. Reed said, "that the peace
treaty can be ratified until after
March 4, 1921. It the democratic
party writes into its platform a
declaration for unconditional ac
ceptance of the treaty, there cannot
be such a change made m senate
membership as would prevent one
third from rejecting it. A change
in the senate to ratify the treaty
could not be accomplished before
three years after March 4, 1921.
Nobody outside a lunatic asylum
believes unqualified approval of the
treaty possible.
Position Insures Defeat. -
"I woifder 'what will become of
democratic candidates for re-election
to. the senate if the treaty is made
a party issue. I would not like to
predict their fate. Does not the
position taken by the president in
sure defeat?"
Raps All But Six.
Taken in one wav or another. Mr.
Reed said, all but six democratic
senators come under the president's
"If thev deserve it. thev oue-ht tn
be incontinently put out of office,"
said Senator Reed.
Mr. Reed read a list of those
emocratic senators, who at last
voted to ratify, the treaty, "incurring
all the " dishonor imputed by the
president." "They are dishonored,
disgraced and damned," said Senator
Reed. i
"The olatform as written will he-
the epitaph of present day democracy."
