was also declared to have a fond
nes for , bright liehts and "wild
women" by his daughter-in-law, de-
.iiicu mai ms inclinations were any
thing but domestic.
"I don't 'like wild women and 1
don t like dance halls." he said yes
terday. "The whoft thin is an
"injustice to my son. I never took
nin to dance halls. I did take him
and hll Wife to a htirleannit ihn
which was a self-sacrifice to myself,
as I much prefer classical music."
.' Has No Young Ideas.
I am not an old man with young
ideas. I'm an old man with mature
ideas," he asserted.
Young Lindsay says it was im-
' possible for him to dance much be
cause he was on hisfeet all day.
He always arrived at work on time,
he said.
He also denied that his father
coaxed him out at nights, as his wife
charged.
Father Avoided Him. '
"My father has never visited my
home since the summer of 1918,"
young Lindsay asserted. "I was tak
ing every opportunity to see him,
though, and not a day passed that
I did not hit him iot money. Father
did not try to coax me out. He
rather tried to avoid me." ,
The elder Lindsay is business
manager of a Swedish paper, the
Omaha Posten. His son, who is 21
years old, is a mail carrier. He was
married in 1915, when he was 16
years old, and his wife, at the time,
was 21 years old.

Washington, May 29. The pro
posed soldiers' bonus is comprehen
sively condemned in the platform
adopted by the Virginia democratic
convention, approval of which docu
ment was voiced by President Wil
son in a letter' to senator Glass of
Virginia today. '
J. hank you for sending me the
copy of the platform recently adopt
ed by the democrats of Virginia,"
the president wrote. "Aside from
the purely personal references,
which of course I deeply appreciate,
let me say to you, my dear senator,
that the sentiments expressed in this
notable document are in full accord
with my own views.
"Surely" this platform recites a
record of achievement in which all
Americans have a just cause for
pride and congratulation."
The plank on the soldiers' bonus
follows:
"The federal government shpuld
treat with the utmost generosity
every soldier of the world war,
whether his disability due to
wounds received in action or to
health impaired in service; and for
the dependents, of the brave men
who died in line of duty the govern
ment's tenderest concern and rich
est bounty should be their requital.
But we deplore stimulated efforts
to fasten further oppressive burdens
upon the taxpayers of the, country
by enormous bond issues or con
sumption and retroactive tax levies
to give an indiscriminate bonus to
enlisted men, thousands of whom
themselves repel the idea of having
their unselfish service appraised in
terms of pecuniary reward. The
fine aptriotism exhibited, the heroic
conduct displayed by American sol
diers at home and abroad, consti
tute a sacred heritage of posterity,
the worth of which can never be
recompensed from the treasury and
the renown ot which should never
be diminished by dross." j

Mrs! Sandoroff.

RULES AGAINST
YOUTH BLINDED ,
BY EXPLOSION
Judge Holds Railroad Company
Not Responsible for Injuries
to John O'HaraSued
v for $100,000.
Even the comfort ofm oney dam
ages was denied blind John O'Hara
yesterday, when District Judge
Goss, after hearing testimony for
three days' in O'Hara's $100,000
damage suit, intervened and directed
the jury to return a verdict against
him. . '
O'Hara, 20 years old, waa.blinded
for life in an explosion in the Coun-'
til Bluffs railroad yards .where he
was working, September 13, 1919.
His father, Frank J. OIHara,
brought suit against the federal
railroad administration for $100,000.
"My decision to take the case
from the jury and direct a verdict
for the railroad was based on a
ouestion of law," said Judge Goss.
"I couldn't see from the evidence
that O'Hara's employers were to
blame for the explosion."
Attorney Will Appeal
"I shall certainly appeal the case
to the supreme court immediately,"
declared John O. Yeiser, attorney
for O'Hara. i
Young O'Hara, a tall, good look
ing, intelligent lad, was led slowly
away by his parents.
"I don't understand the law,", said
Mr. O'Hara. "My boy will never
see again. He was blinded while
he was working for the railroad, yet
they don't have to pay him."
Railroad Fights Bitterly. '
The railroad fought the case bit
terly. Charles P. Williams, a spe
cial attorney for the railroad admin
istration, was here from St. Louis.
Vitnesses were brought by the
railroad from El Paso, Tex., Bos
ton, New York and other points to
testify regarding the nature of the
mine grenade, the explosion of
which caused the youth's blindness.
O'Hara was employed at a
"gantry," or large crane, in the
Council Bluffs yards. He was
straightening out a piece of old
wire for use in steadying a load of
telegraph poles which the crane was
to move from an out-of-order car to
a good one, when the bulb on the
end of the wire exploded.
It is believed the wire with its
death-dealing bulb had fallen by
mistake into a coal car at the coal
mine.
The O'Haras live in Council
Bluffs.

To prevent defective tires
One hears a great deal about Miller Tires
nowadays about remarkable mileage and
unique uniformity.
Do you realize that ten years have been
spent in perfecting this tire? And that $1,000
a day is spent just to guard against defects?
Every tire signed
Cords and fabrics are all tested in the most
exacting: ways.
Not a tread is made until
a sample of the stock is
vulcanized and tested in
the laboratory.
, Fifty experts inspect the
finished tire. Each must
sign every tire he passes,
and the man who makes it
signs it If a tire comes
back, both these men' are
penalized.
Thousands of , users are maHrlg Wmparf
sons. They put another tire on the opposit
wheel and .watch the mileage. And aU this
talk about Miller Tires comes through those
comparisons.
It is this uniformity this constant su
premacy that has placed Miller Tires where
they are. I
They don't come back
Stage line Tests
Seme of the greatest tire tests exe eon
ducted on California stage lines. Some
are on 12-passenger bases weighing 8,600
pounds loaded. On line after line Miller
Tires are winning against a score of rwal
makes. .On the Eldorado stage line 22
makes were compared.
Over 1,000 tires a year are worn
out at the factory in watching
Miller mileage. . ' '
Eight geared-up machines each
run two tires ,650 miles per day.
Heavy cars, urtder-tired, are run '
night and day on the road. Scores
of taxis and jitneys are employed '
in these ceaseless tests.
Five rival makes are constantly
compared with Millers. Day after J
day the Miller makers prove that
their tires excel. They knw the
mileage they are giving, they know
that they are uniform.
Million-mile tests
Many large users are comparing
Millers in million-mile tests, and
over. Often a score of makes are
run against the Miller. On stage
lines, taxia and trucks Millers are
winning enormous contracts by
out-serving every rival.

A defective Miller TirV
is a miry. There are no-;
merous large cities from
which not a single Miller
Tire came back last year.
In Akron where Mil
lers are made the Miller
Tire outsells at retail all
other makes combined. On
a retail business of $500,000
yearly, only 15 tires came
back last year.
Over 99 Miller Tires in 100 ex
ceed the expectations. ;
Think what that means to you.
The records which Miller Tires
make are dependable. What they
do for you once they will do for
you constantly. In a lifetime's use
the probability is you would never
get a laulty tire.
Watch your mileage
Don't take other men's figures on
mileage. Conditions differ. Learn what
Miller gives you on your car. Compare
a Miller with the tire you now use. Let
the records show which is best.
Such a test will probably be a revela
tion to you. Perhaps you do not knows
the service tires should give today.
Don't guess on tires. The Miller fae
tory is spending fortunes to wig extra
mileage for you. Find out what it is.
