T I t t 1 1 "J I ' -. 12 THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1920. 1 Denver Lawyer Won Reputation On Mining Law .Victim of Interurban Collision Prominent in Early Colo rado History Was Known Internationally. (By International Newt Service.) Denver, Sept. 27. Robert S. Mor rison, who was one of the victims of the disastrous head-on collision on the Denver and Interurban Elec tric railway, just outside the city limits on Labor day, was one of the leading men of Colorado in its early history, and had an international reputation as a legal expert in min ing and patent law. Morrison was born in Allegheny, Pa., in 184.5. He was graduated from Amherst college and came to Colorado in 1871. After a short residence in Denver lie removed to Georgetown, then the largest city in the state and the cen ter of the greatest mining activity known, with the possible exception of Leadville. Familiar with the wealth of his native state of Pennsylvania, as shown in its mining and oil indus try, Morrison entered with en thusiasm into the development of the mining industry in the Centen nial state. He built up a large legal practise and was attorney for many j jr.ngiisii investors, who at that time had large sums invested in Colo rado. , Devoting his time almost exclu sively to mining law, Morrison, a-; early as 1878 published a digest of mining decisions, which was soon followed by the publication of "Mor rison's Rights," which, at the time of hi. tragic death, had reached the 15ih edition and is accepted as au thoritative wherever mining is known. So accurate were "Mor rison's Rights" considered that in 1885 the forms of leases, bonds, min ing deeds and applications for pa tents were adopted by the United States government. Morrison has published during the past 30 years many volumes, his "Morrison's Mining Reports" having reached the 25th volume. It is a complete annotated encyclopedia of mining law, both American and English. ; Morrison was also a lecturer at the law school of the Colorado university. Morrison's wife, who was Edel mira De Soto, of lima, Peru, died several years ago. She was a lineal descendant of the famous explorer De Soto. The couple had travelled extensively in Mexico and South and Central America previous to Mrs. Morrison's death. Morrison is survived by a son and two daughters. Changes Are Announced In Assignments of Mail Pilots Pilots J. P. Murray, Weif Cook and C. V. Pickup, who have been flying air mail planes west of Chey enne, have been transferred " to 'the Cheyenne-Omaha division. The transfer was made after the DeHav ilands were removed from the west- trn-' route. Clarence Lange, veteran pilot at the local station, has been trans ferred from the Omaha to Chicago run to the Omaha to Cheyenne route. Pilots Christensen, Lowe, Huking and Amberg fly ships between here and Chicago. Air mail service west of Cheyenne will be resumed as' soon as more planes can be delivered, according to V. I. Vatow, manager of the Omaha station. Increase of $15,000,000 in Rediscounts Reported An increase of $15,000,000 in re discbunts over the previous week is reported by the Tenth district federal reserve 'bank for the close of business last ' Friday. The total amount was $41,000,000, as com pared with $26,000,000 the previous week. The increase is said to be due to the demand for money to move the crops. Rates of interest on discounts have not ' been in j creased. Parents Problems How much time should children of grammar-school age spend in home study? This depends somewhat upon the ges of the children, and to some extent upon their places in school. It should depend more than it does upon the health of the child. WHY?- . Does a Ball Bounce? (Cosyrlfht. 1920. By Tha Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Some of the latest develop ments of motion pictures im-, provemenU which permit the in timate detailed study of such, swiftly moving objects as a' bul let or a projectile being fired from the muzzle of a big gun have enabled us to see what takes place when a ball strikes "the ground and bounces upward. The ball, which is perfectly spherical up to the moment when it strikes the floor, becomes flattened for the fraction of a second. As much of it as comes in contact with the obstruction loses its rounded surface, but, because the ball possesses the quality known as elasticity (the ability to return to its former shape,) it almost in stantly becomes rounded again and literally forces itself upward. In other words, it "bounces." Practically all solid materials, even stones, possess this quality in a greater or lesser degree, but irubber and cork are extremely clastic which is the reason that these substances are so widely used in the manufacture of balls of all kinds. Base balls, made with a cork center tightly wound with yarn and covered with horse .hide, are not nearly as elastic as a rubber ball, and some of these, hit by men like "Babe" Ruth, are permanently flattened, while a rubber ball would have retained its spherical shape even after be ing driven a much further dis tance. Tomorrw Why are the days of the week so named? Y XX An Invitation. Rusty Wren's cousin, Lou Bill, lived in the reeds on the bank of Black Creek. Although everybody called him "Long Bill," like Rusty Wren he was actually short and chubby. His bill, however, was much longer than Rusty's. You see, he belonged to one branch of the Marsh Wren family; and they all had bills like that. Long Bill Wren claimed that his real name was William; but people generally smilled when he made that statement. It was not often that Rusty met this cousin of his. lor Rusty seldun "I was just going to the orchard myself to hunt for insects," said Rusty. ventured so far from home as Black Creek. And being very fond of water. Long Bill did not care to spend any of his valuable time in Farmer Green's dooryard. Of course, there was the duck pond not far away and the river, too. But the only water .really close to Rusty's home was the watering trough. And that was entirely too small to please Long Bill Wren. So no one ever saw him around the farm buildings. For a long time Rusty had neither seen nor heard of his cousin, when one day Jolly Robin knocked at his door. "I won't come in," said Jolly (of course he couldn't have, anyhow HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations What Madge Arranged for Leila Fairfax. I did not attempt to hide facts when I found Mrs. Lukens and proffered my request that Leila be allowed to stay in her house for a day or two. I knew that some explanation of the request was due her, because of her acquaintanceship with the Paiges. I realized it would be use less to employ subterfuge with her; she had too keen a mind, too sharp a whimsical curiosity. So, with a tolerant smile, I frankly said that my little friend, the bride-to-be, had been much upset by a foolish, tri fling quarrel with iier fiance, and that 1 would like to have her stay near me for a little while until she regained her poise. "It's none of my business,"' Mrs. Lukens said, with a shrewd, reminis cent little grin, "but I'll bet a cookie it's over a bachelor dinner." "You win," said, adopting one of Dicky's pet phrases. "I knew it," she retorted. "How well I remember the week before I was married. Mr. Lukens was a very popular man, and well, I guess we staged at least three good by for.ever stunts before the wedding day arrived. And how real all thai suffering seemed at the time! How little girls know of life after all!" Leila's Retreat. ' She paused, and I knew her mind had gone racing back, as had my own, ove the hard yet beloved paths trodden by the feet of a wom an who has known wifehood and motherhood. But in another minute she faced me practically. "Come with me," she said. "I'll show you the room I'll give her." She led the way out into the little rear hall, up the steps to the landing upon which opened the door behind which Leila sat, then on up another short flight to the upper hall and a door directly above the one on the landing. "There!" she said, throwing it tpen. "This room is directly over mine, so she won't be timid. She looks like a scarv little thing but I think she'll like this." "I am sure she will," I said, en thusiastically, and, indeed, the room was a most attractive one, with wide windows looking out over the pine grove to the shimmering of the lake in the distance. I mentally reaf firmed the impression I had re ceived that Mrs. Lukens' house was the most attractive, most perfectly appointed of any that I had ever seen provided for tourists. "Just bring her right up here," she said practically. "She won't want to sec me for awhile, so I'll justi show you where things are. I don't give any meals, you know, so you will have to arrange that to suit yourself. She won't eat more'n a canary until her row is settled, anyway. She went swiftly about the room, showing me closet and bureau drawers, then went back as quickly as she had come. Then I descended the stairs, found Leila weeping, brought her up to the hoom, and turned down the bed clothing. "Let me help you undress, and then you get into bed and go to sleep if you can." I said in matter-of-fact tones. "We'll discuss things later.. Xo one but me will come near the room, so don't worry. And if you should need anything" I showed her a bell cunningly hid den in the wall "just press this and Mrs. Lukens will come to you." A Weapon Against Rita.

Old Mr. Crow came to the orchard today and he asked me to deliver an invitation from your cousin who lives near Black Creek." "That's Long Bill!" Rusty Wren exclaimed. Jolly Robin nodded. "He's go ing to have a party," he explained. "And he wants you to come to it." "When will it take place?" .Rusty asked eagerly. "Tomorrow!" said Jolly Robin. "It's rather short notice," Rusty Vreii observed. "Mr. Crow has been keeping the message for yoa for some time," Jolly Robin explained "He said he thought it would be more of a .surprise if you didn't know about the partv too sOon." "We'll be there anyhow," Rusty's wife interrupted behind her hus l?nd's back. She had been listening with a good deal of interest to Jolly's message. "But you're not invited," Jolly Robin told her. "This is a men's party so Mr., Crow says." "iou may tell old Mr. Crow that my husband won't be able to be present," Mrs. Rusty Wren snapped. "He's going to be very busy to morrow, for he promised to help me with my housecleaning." Rusty Wren looked worried. But he said nothing more just then. He wanted to go to his cousin's party. But he did not like to argue with his wife, especially in the presence of a neighbor. Soon Jolly Robin said he must go back to the orchard, because he had to take care of his children while his wife went out to make a call. Mrs. Rusty did not urge him to stay. And, since she seemed upset over something. Rusty thought it just as well if their visitor did not linger there too long. ' "I was just going to the orchard myself to hunt for insects," said Rusty. "So I'll go with you." Mrs. Rusty shot a quick look at him. "Remember! You're going to be busy at home tomorrow 1" she warned him. "Yes! yes!" lie said. And he seemed in a bit of a hurry to get to the orchard it couldn't have been to get away from home. (Copyright Gosset & Dunlap.) HUSBAND New Phase of of a Wife rest," she wailed. "My head feels as if it were splitting." "I'll fix that," I said, cheerily, and in two or three minutes I had her tucked into bed, with her feet and body warmly covered and a towel wrung of cold water pinned tightly around her head. Then I pulled down the window shades to the apertures through which the pine laden air came, and left her, know ing that she needed no medicine save rest and sleep. With swift steps I went back to our own cottage, and, luckily dodging the observation of anyone, I gained my own room and locked the door. I wanted solitude in which to arrange my campaign against Rita Brown. That it would be warfare, I knew, for I had dismissed as utterly futule any. thought of appeal to her to re tract the things she had said to Leila. She was adamant in will, ut terly unscrupulous in principle. But I guessed that, although she was de termined to annex for herself Hugh Grantland and his millions, yet she was unwilling to see Leila marry Alfred Durkee, the man for whom I surmised she secretly cared. I realized something else also. I must be possessed of an especially ftrong weapon before I could hope for anything from an encounter with Rita Brown. She would laugh at any ordinary me'.hods of attack. I must possess the power to crush her before I faced her. But where to find such a weapon? There was but one person possessed of the power and resourcefulness to help me Lillian Underwood, and she was nearly a thousand miles away. (Continued Tomorrow.) Common Sense THE OVERDRESSED GIRL. By J. J. Mundy. Young-Expensively - Dresscd-Of-fice-Woman, you may wonder why it is that girls, plainer in dress and face succeed in getting good, earn est, frugal husbands while you seem to attract only the butterfly sort of fellows who have at least half of their week's pay spent before they receive it. You know you arc better dressed and more attractive in appearance, and you have more admirers than they, but these girls get the best of you when it comes to choice in life partners. Well, it's this way; you attract the worthless fellows because you are so extravagant. You can look a part well, but that is all they want of you, anyway. The shallow fellow is' more or less on dress parade attitude and con siders the girl only from the up-to-the-minute style standpoint. .Now, which sort do you care to win, the young man of good sense or the shallow one? If a young man has the right sort of respect and feeling for a girl he wants to see her neatly but suitably dressed in accordance with her oc cupation, and that means beyond criticism. The over-dressed girl shows she has no place to go to wear good clothes or she would save them to. wear at the right time and pJace. x CoiyrlBt, 19:i). Inte-iatlunat Feature Service, Inc.

BY ELLA RANDALL PEARCE. From International restore Set-vice, Inc. When Miss Cynthia Spafford an nounced her intention of going to summer camp with the grfls, her niece Carolyn, who lived with her, was more than surprised. She was worried as well. "I don't know what we're going to do with Aunt Cynthia in camp." she complained to her associates. "She's so excessively . gentle and set in fastidious ways. How can she rough it with the rest of usr "She needn't, answered one Titian haired maiden. "We can stand one lady in camp, can't we?" "And I'd rather have a gentle chaperon than one who tries to win all the medals, like Mrs. DeWitt did." chimed in another member. "I've asked Aunt Cynthia to go with me each year, but she always refused until now." Carolyn still wore her anxious look. "If you only ktiew how dependent aunt is on mod ern convenience's; how fond she is of the small comforts of life. And at her age " All Want to Help. "It's time she got out of the rut, then," returned Miss Titian hair. "Perhaps she feels that way about it. Anyway, I think your aunt's a dear, Carolyn. And we'll all do our best to train I mean to make her comfortable." "Now, girls, do not bother at all about me,' said Miss Cynthia Spaf ford when they had reached their camp in the Shawangunk hills. "Let your spirits be free and untram mcled, and conduct yourselves ac cording to your program or your sportive fancy. I have brought my own means of entertainment with nie, my books and embroidery, and I shall enjoy communing with nature from my rocking chair on the porch." . " . Miss Spafford. had brought more than her books and embroidery to add to her enjoyment of camp life. She had brought a trunkful of dainty wearing apparel, some fine china for her individual use, most of her jewelry and a box of toilet prepara tions and accessories. Some Contrast. In her filmy frocks and exquisite French-heeled shoes, with fashion able ornaments and an elaborate coiffure, the camp's chaperon pre sented a remarkable contrast to its trig, khaki-clad members. The latter lost no time in assuming a sun kissed, wind-blown complexion, and to this recklessness, Miss Spaf ford gave many a mildly disapprov ing sigh. "Do not forget the social season ahead, my dears," she warned po litely. "You will be longing for snow and roses then . And the skin's fine texture is more easily preserved than restored. My grandmother Ursult Spafford was a belle in her day: one of the belles of Boston. And at 60 she had the most marvel ous complexion one could imagine. Snow and roses indeed 1 It was a typical English complexion at its best." Miss Cynthia smiled in compla cency, as she always did when speaking of her ancestors. She was very proud of her pedigree and of her family name. From Old Family. "The Spaf fords are among the oldest families in New England," she would say. "I remember when I was a little girl, our town held two families of renown the Spaf- tords and the Winslows. Each one felt superior and secretly jealous of the other, until they compared family trees one day, and discovered that Thomas Spafford and James Win slow had come from England in the same ship, three years after the landing of the Mayflower." "If there's one thing Aunt Cyn thia reveres, after a Spafford, it's a Win slow." laughed Carolyn. "I doubt if I shall ever be permitted to marry unless by that cerernonv the two great names are united Spaf ford and Winslow." "And his name is Smith," mur mured one of her companions, whereupon Carolyn blushed a beau tiful 1 rose color. Good Chaperon. But Miss Cynthia, for all her fas tidious ways and superior airs, was a most satisfactory chaperon even in the Shawangunk hills. The campers enjoyed the gentle touch of domesticity with frhich their ru raL living was invested, and the small comforts ready for them in their hours of relaxation. Then Miss Spafford had secured a good cook and took pleasure in planning delectable meals. But this good cook, like many other good cooks, had a failing and one day the camp was cooklcss. "And we're going on a long hike today, all of us," fretted Carolyn, "but I don't like to leave ypu alone, Aunt Cynthia." "I shall not mind bcine alone in this peaceful scene," said Miss Spaf ford. "Go, by all means, and I will have a nice supner ready for you when you return." The campers departed and. dur ing the latter part of the day, a few members, trailing behind the others, lost their way in the woods. After an hour or more of searching and hallooing, they met again. the wan derers wild-eyed and excited. Many Experiences. They had been through a most harrowing experience. While beat ing about in the woods, trying to find their friends, they had been confronted by a tramp, an awful fel low of unkempt appearance ard brutish manners. He had evidently been drinking and was dangerously menacing. So, at his command, the frightened girls had given un whit money they had, and one s-irl had handed over her wrist watch. Then he had sworn at them and disap peared in the underbrush. Carolyn heard with paling cheeks. "We are not far from camp." she faltered. "Drt you suppose he would would Oh, let's hurry. Poor Aunt Cvnthia is alone." The little party hurried home in panic. But they found Miss Spafford sitting1 j in her low rocker on the porch, placidly embroidering. "Oh, Aunt Cynthia!" cried Caro lyn, and bean to tell her story, ending with her fears for her aunt's safety. The elder lady raised a white hand languidly. Camp to Camp.
