s THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1920. V 1 1 ,11 ... !3 :! Overflow Crowd 1 Hears Reavis at Kiwanis Club fbraka Congressman Tells How Revenue Laws of Na tion Are Reacting Against Bueinetiti. . An overflow meetinjt of members and their guests crowded the dinintf room of the Koine' hotel yesterttoy when ConRrestrtian' Reavis of Fall City old the Kiwanis club where the nation stands today. According to H. VV. Bubb, newly elected president of the club, the meeting was the best and most rep resentative body ever assembled by his club, lie attributed the great turn-out to the fact that Congress man Reavis is an eloquent speaker. '.The c!ty commissioners witTi the mayor, city and district judges, members-elect of the senate and house from this county and the wives of many members responded to the invitations by being present. Over 300 Attend. The entertainment committee had arranged for 1(30 guests, but last minute S,'0. S. calls were sent out to the chef to prepare for IsO more. About 40 members had to sacrifice the' places for guests of honor. Congressman Reavis directed the first part of his address to the men by relating inside information on the revenue laws of the nation, how they were reacting against business and taking revenue out of the chan nel of business ;lnd tieing it up in government securities, and Liberty bonds, which he declared, is the chief cause of money tightness throughout the country. Praise for Women. Directing his address to the women he said the men should tip their hats to the women for1 the won derful support they gave the nation during the war. It was about time for congress to wake up and give them national suffrage, he declared. This remark elicited outbursts of cheering and applause. He gave the women credit for de veloping sterling character in the American youth, who during the war, he said, showed such wonder ful consideration for the rights of others. They made good soldiers, he aid, because they received the oroper Christian training in the American homes. C'onRrssn!an Reavis was intro duced by J. A. Sunderland, who pre; sided over the .meeting. I Lincoln Highway Crew Busy Placing Markers Along Famam Street Four men comprising 'the official rrad-marking crew of the Lincoln Highway association-arrived in OmA ha yesterday from the east, and busied themselves placing markers along Famam street. The crew is headed by H. M. Seu bert, and is traveling in two motor irucks. It started westward last July at the Pennsylvania-New Jer sey state line and has been placing permanent markers along the entirs route. This is the second time the high w-iy association has undertaken the marking of the great road. In 1916 8,000 red, white and blue markers were stenciled on telegraph posts from New York City as "far west as the Nebraska-Wyoming line These markers have faded.however, and new steel markers are beiiif, substituted. Omaha is the western destination of the crew, as the Omaha-Pacific coast lap of the highway has been already equipped with steel marker. i Congre r ssman Keavis Plans Big Saving in - Bill Before House The discharge of about 30,000 fed eral employes in various depart ments 'to,, do away with overlapping and duplication in government busi ness is the chief aim of a bill drafted by C. F. Reavis, representative from the First congressional district of Nebraska. It is estimated that at least $JUO,000,000 will be saved to the government if this bill passes Congressman Reavis polled a ma jority of 19,000 over his democratic opponent and led Harding by 4,000 vote, phenomenal showing. He was re-elected for his fourth term. Congressman Reayis left for Washington last night to take up with a committee the work of per fecting his bill. , s "I nope to see this bill passed at the next session of congress," de clared Representative Reavis.

"Why don't you get some new clothes?" ' - It vcas Mr. Frog that asked the question; and he asked it of Brownie Beaver, who was at work on top of his house. Mr. Frog had been hid ing among the lily-pads, watching Brownie. But Brownie hadn't no ticed him until he stuck his head out of thex water and sgoke. At first Mr. Frog's question made Brownie a bit peevish. "What's the matter with my clothes?" he asked hotly. "There's nothing the matter wth What's the matter with my tail?" Brownie snapped them nothing at all," said Mr. Frog "except that they are not as be coming to you as they might be. Of course," he added, as he saw that Brownie Beaver was frowning, "you look handsome in them. But you've no idea how you'd look in clothes of my making." , Brownie Beaver felt more agree able as soon as Mr. Frog had told him what he meant. "Do you make clothes?" he in auired. "I'm a tailor," Mr. Frog replied." "And 1 ve just opened a shop at the upper end of the pond." "What's the matter with my tail?" Brownie snapped. He was angry again. Then Mr. Frog explained that a tailor made suits. . "We've nothing to do with tails," he said "unless it's coat-tails." "What about cattails?" Brownie ask id. "You're prtt" close to some right now. So you can hardlv say you hf.ve nothir" to do w! " them." - Mr. Frog sm$ed. "I see you're a joker," he said. "And it really seems a pity," he went Sense -ommon Guard Your Tongue. By J. J.

International Feature , Service, Inc. WHY- Do We Refer to "Interest" on Money? , ' , v (Copyright. 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) It is an interesting fact that in nearly all languages the word used to designate the amount of money earned by other money is one which has the primary mean ing of "fruit." "offspting" or "in crease." Talbot in his "English Etymologies" advances the the ory ; that the word "interest is a mere corruption of 'increase' or 'iircress,' as it was formerly spelled, ahd that our ancestors leut or borrowed money at such and such a rate of increase." As further proof of this contention Talbot refers to Ezekiel xviii, verses 8, 13 and 17. ' The word "interest" made its first appearance in English in this sinse in an act of Parliament in 1623, when it was declared to sig nify "laf ful increase by the way of compensation for the yse of money lent." The same act fixed the lawful interest rate at 8 per cent. (Monday Whv Do We Stretch When We Arc Tired?) For a Real Hot Fire 1 ry Uur Rosewood a"",. s23 Hold Fire for 24 Hours With out Attention.

Mr. Frog was wait ing for him, with a broad smJe on his face. Any smile of his iust had to be broad, because he had such a vide mouth. "Come right in!" Mr. Frog said. "I'll measure you at .nee." So Br wnie Beaver stepped inside Mr. Frog's shop to be measured for his new suit. It was all over in a few minutes. Mr. F r seratche some f rures n a flat stone. And then he went into the ba"k room of his shoo. He stayed there a long time. And when he came into the front part again he found Brownie Eeaver still there. r- "What are you maiting for?" Mr. Frog asked. He seamed surprised thnt, Brownie had not left. "I'm waiting for my . suit, of course." Brownie Beaver said. "Oh! That wort be ready for three davs," Mr. Frog told him. "I have to nyike it, you know." ' Brownie thought that Mr. Frog must be a slow worker; and he told him as much. ,s - But Mr. Frog did not agree with hir.i. "I'm 'very spry!" he claimed. "On the jump every minutes.!" As, Brownie started way, Mr. Frog called him back. . "I'd get a new hat if I were you," he suggested. - What's the matter with this hat?" Brownie wanted to know. "It's a beaver hat one my great-grandfather used to wear. It's been in our family a good many years and I'd hate to part with it." "You needn't part with it," Mr. Frog said pleasantly. "Just don't wear it that's all! For it won't lookSvell with the clothes I'm going to make for you." Then' Brownie Beaver moved away once more. And as-air? Mr. Frog stopped him. "I'd boy a collar if I were you," he said. . i "What's the matter with this neck erchief?" Bi'ownie Beaver demanded. "It belonged to my great-grandmother." "Then I'd be careful of it if I were you," Mr. Frog told him. "And please get a stiff white collar to wear."'-!, , "Won't it get limp in the water!" Brownie asked, doubtfully. "Get a celluloid ore, of course," Mr. Frog replied. "That's the only kind of collar you ought to wear." So Brownie Beaver left the tailor shorj. Arid he was feeling quite un happy." He had always been satis fied with his clothes. But. now he began to dislike everything he had on. And he could hardly wait' for three days to nass, he was in such a hurry for Mr. Frog to finish his new suit. (Copyright.

It was not until after Hugh Grant land had left the tea room, taking with him the man named "Tim" not until I inyseli had taken farewell of Hetty Kane and was walking down the pine-bordered road that there came to me the possible significance in jpne of the sentences cl the offi cer's last appeal to me to disregard Grace Draper s appeal tor pardon. "I fear that he will be inclined to be as magnanimous in this case as you are," he had said, referring to Dicky, and my statement that the matter of Grace Draper must lie be tween my husband me alone. I stopped short in the deserted street and caught my breath sharply with a sensation as of actual physical pain at the thought of the"meaning which miRht lie behind his wo;ds. Did Hugh Grantland mean me to believe I asked myself indignantly then caught myself up with a feel ing of apology to the absent officer.' He was absolutely incapable of in sinuation or of anything else that was not in accordance with the most rigid tenets of honor. But I knew that there had been in his single track mind but one intense, vehe ment thought to keep me from par doning Grace Draper. In his eager ness to accomplish that purpose he had, I feared, let slip a belief con cerning Dicky s proDBOie attrtuae, which he would not otherwise have uttered. Madge's Generosity to Dicky. Was it possible, I wondered drearily, that Dicky's interest in the release of Grace Draper was so pat ent that even Hugh Grantland's straightforward, unsuspicious mind had registered it? Or I brought myself to with a jerk, swung my un worthy thought to the rightabout, and started them down a more wor thy channel was it not more prob able that the officer was simply ut tering his recognition of what all Dicky's friends said of his willing ness to forgive any injury? I made a little vow to myseu there in the twilight, while the pine boughs swayed above me with the first muttering of a coming storm, a promise that I would trust my hus band fully in this matter. I vowed that I would keep nothing back from him, but -would act upon his advice absolutely, whether it was to for give Grace Draper or to ignore her reauest for nardon. Then I was ashamed' of the mental reservation, but I could not control. the thought no matter what resulted, I should be absolved,1 in my own conscience at least, of all blame. The muttering in the pine boughs increased to a low growl. Evident ly the storm was near at hand. I hastened my footsteps and turned into the driveway of Mrs. Luken' home as the first drops of rain be gan to fall, scurrying around the house and up the veranda steps of our little cottage just in time to es cape a drenching. Dicky met me at the top of the steps, his face full of annoyance. , Dicky Is Wise. "Where on earth have you been?" he asked ' impatiently. "I've been waiting for you- hours."

I knew that I had been gone from the house less than an hour, and reflected whimsically upon the times he had kept me waiting. I wondered if all husbands were as inconsistent, or whether Dicky was alone in his quirkiness. "You might have been drenched," he grumbled on, and, womanlike, I promptly forgot his crossness in the warm little feeling his solicitude gave me. I have never forgotten a sage little observation of Mrs. Stew art's, the dear old woman in whose house my mother and I lived for so long. "Depend upon it," she used to re mark, "when a man worries over vour health it's a 6ign that lie's reallv in love." We were in the warm, brightly lighted little living room by this tine, and Mother Graham added her inquisition to Dicky's: "Whatever did that girl want of you?" "What girl?" Dicky asked, and I torebore the sly comment that it was strange he had' not asked his mother where I was if he had been waiting "hours" for me. I was morally cer tain that he had only just arrived at the cottage himself. "Betty Kane," his mother rejoined tartly. "She sent a message by some child that she had something ever there she thought Margaret would like to see, and, of course, Margaret piked off immediately, and I haven't seen hide nor hair of her since. Wasn't I right?" turning to me. "Didn't she want to sell you something?" "Aren't you always right?" I par ried. "She really has some lovely things over there, made from pine needles by one of the women in the neighborhood. I brought ydu some thing I thought you'd like, but if you'd rather have the article I chose it really doesn't matter to me." I unwrapped a sandwich tray and a little basket and handed them to my mother-in-law. When she had made her choice incidentally and characteustically she selected the sandwich trav. which I had chosen for myself she went into her own room with her treasure, and Dicky turned to me with a quizzical smile at the corners of his mouth.
