PARSON PILOT
FLIES OVER TO
PUNISH ENEMY
A. J. Nielson, Former Bluffs
Preacher, Lands at Ak-Sar-"
Ben Field, Wallops Man
and Hops Off Again.
Spectators at Ak-Sar-Ben flying
field last Monday were startled
about the middle of the afternoon
when an airplane swooped down
out of the clouds and the pilot
leaped from his seat, leaving his mo-
. tor running.
He raced madly afoot to the han
gar. A man saw him coming and
evidently sensed trouble, for he be
gan to run in the opposite direction.
The racing pilot soon overtook
' him, however, smote him to the
-earth several times, dusted off his
clothes and hands, and turned back
to his waiting airplane.
Back Into the Clouds.
He leaped into his seat, threw in
.the fever and, with a roar, the ma
chine hopped off and soon disap
peared in the clouds from which it
pad so suddenly swooped.
The chastised man picked himself
tip from the position in which the
apparently irate pilot had left him,
and dragged his vcary way back
into the hangar.
Further investigation by in
terested spectators to the whirlwind
bout disclosed the fact that the pilot
vho had promoted the little ener
tainment tor the motorists parked
about the field wa-; none other than
A. J. Nielson of Council Bluffs,
former Methodist minister, and now
engaged in commeicial aviation.
Rather reluctantly Pilot Nielson
yesterday told the stcry of the sud
den outburst of his wrath.
The object of h;s sudden atten
tions at Ak-Sar-Ben field was Jack
Kirk, airplane mechanician, former
ly employed by Nielson in Council
Bluffs.
Flying was slark several weeks
pgo and Nielson laid off Mecban-
ician Kirk.
He made a number of unsuccessful
attempts to get work for Kirk at
other aviation fields in western Iowa
and easter-u Nebraska.
Last Monday, reports came to
Nielson that Kirk' had wound up at
Ak-Sar-Ben field, where he was
'talkinor too much." as the flvinsr ex-
' parson put it.
So Nielson decided to, take the
- lir, or mount his plane, and visit
Ak-Sar-Ben field to make Kirk ''cat
his- words."
The more he thought about it, the
madder he got, the ex-preacher ad--rnitted,
and by the time he had
reached the field and was making
his landing, he had worked himself
into a frenzy.
He saw his man at the hangar,
and as he ran toward him, the ob
ject of his visit bolted.
Flight Indicated Guilt.
Thjt ended it, the pilot said, for
he running gave him enough proof
that tht, rumors concerning Kirk's
remarks had really been made, and
he felt guilty for making them.
So Nielson took after him, and
when he caught up, his ministerial
dignity dropped from his shoulders
and he was suddenly transformed
into the scrapping youth' he had
teen, in the days of his boyhood.
He tore loose, administered sev
eral severe wallops, trotted back to
his plane, and soared home.
As the cool zephyrs of the upper
air bathed his brow. Pilot Nielson
said "that feeling of satisfaction of
a duty well performed" just seemed
to swell and fill his breast.
The whole affair took less than an
hour, including flying time.

Traction Manager Tells Com
mission Company Is Unable
To Pay Increase Asked.
Union leaders and street car' offi
cials were "watchfully waiting" for
new developments in the wage con
troversy yesterday.
"We are simply marking time un
til we learn what the State Railway
commission intends to do," declared
J. A. Munroe, vice president of the
company. '
"The situation is unchanged," said
G. Whitlow, secretary of the union.
"We have submitted our complaint
to the State Railway iommission
asking that it take jurisdiction of the
wage dispute. We are now waiting
to see the results."
The complaint formulated by lead
ers of the local street car men's
union in Omaha Friday afternoon
was presented to the commission in
Lincoln this morning by Frank M.
Coffey, Lincoln attorney and former
state labor commissioner.
After inspecting the complaint the
commission requested that a clause
be added stating that a strike was
pending in Omaha unless a settle
ment was reached. (Attorney Coffey
asserted that there should be no ob
jection to adding this clause. He
will probably revise the complaint
after conferring with leaders of the
union in Omaha.
Indications are that the commis
sion will take charge of the matter.
R. A. Leussler, vice president and
general manager of the Omaha &
Council Bluffs street railway com
pany, held a closed conference with
the commission yesterday.
Thorne Browne, a member of the
commission, said after the confer
ence that Mr. Leussler had asserted
no wage increase could be paid by
the company unless there was an
increase in receipts. '

Miss Abbott,,who is chairman of
the executive committee of the im
migration bureau of Illinois, as
serted: "We must adjust our educational

tell the immigrant that if he does
not like our educational system he
should go where there is one of his
liking."

Why the
Brunswick
wins so many friends
Of the major instruments, the Bruns
wick was the first to play all records
,with faithful regard for different re
quirements. This feature alone created
thousands of admirers. For it meant
that a Brunswick owner could buy and
play any record, whatever make.
Since different makes offer different
artists, and no one make offers them all,
music lovers saw in the Brunswick the
opportunity to select their own library
of records, without restriction.
Today the Brunswick Method of Re
production is a recognized triumph. It
means perfected reproduction to all who
know it. And the news is spreading fast.
You may test YOUR Brunswick in
your own home BEFORE you purchase.

Slip Covers
Summer the Slip Cover Season.
They not only protect the upholstery from dust
and summer suns, but also reclothe each piece
in the natural garb of the season. Cretonne is
very largely used and when the hangings are
made to coincide with the slip covers the effect
is most pleasing. Sunfast materials, cotton
damasks and repp, are also used, of course, and
in many instances are very appropriate. One of
the principal things to remember about slip cov
ers is the fit and make ; this is important, other
wise the results are disappointing. Phone us
for suggestions and estimates; it does not
