i THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 19201 Tiijiber Aplenty Anticipated for r City Hall Jobs Pre lent . Commissioners Ex pected to Be Candidates, But Not En Bloc; Many Other Aspirants Touted. The open season lias arrived for i onvcrsation anent the city election : i ampaign which will occupy the stage after the holiday season shall : have been passed. It lias been ob- served that during the last few j weeks some of the prospective can- j didates have been looking at the i city hall with anxious eyes and mull-1 mgr over , the ' thought of whether they should risk their good money and political reputation by getting into the race. Unless something to the contrary j should occur in the state legislature this winter, affecting Omaha's form; ' of municipal government, there will be a primary election during the hrst week of April for the nomina- lion of 14 candidates who will sub mit themselves in May for the elec tion of seven city commissioners. No Lack of Candidates. It is anticipated that there -will he no dearth of "timber" for the consideration of the voters at the elimination contest in April. One .hundred or more candidates would liot surprise the innocent bystander. Rumors of prospective combinations 1 already fill the air. Mayor Smith has announced that i he is through with politics and tt is generally understqpd that he will not seek re-election. Some believe he has aspirations to be governor or t'nited States senator, but those are political speculations and are yet to he confirmed by the mayor himself. Present indications are that the incumbent city commissioners will all be candidates for re-election and it is further understood that they will not make the race en bloc. This city administration has hot been the most notable for team work, accord ing to some of the observing ones and for that reason it is expected that it will be every one for him self during the approaching city campaign. Commissioners Zimman and Ring er will not ue in tne same com bination, if there are any combina tions. Within the last two months Mr. Ringer, at a church meeting, expressed his state of mind concern ing Mr. Zimman's policies on certain phases of certain government, Mr. Zimman's opinions of Mr. Ringer have been publicly expressed in the city council chamber many times during the last two years and six months. Butler May Race Alone. An organization already is being launched in behalf of Commissioner FalconeY. Commissioner Butler, it is stated, is ready to make the race alone.. Commissioner lire is being men tioned occasionally in connection . with the position of mayor for the next three years unless he should be named as postmaster when the federal lightning strikes hereabouts, Mr. Ure is maintaining a discreet silence. He smiles significantly when sked about the rumors, stating that fee is not responsible for them and explaining that when the right time eomes he will have something to sav. He said he was too busy just now with his Christmas shopping and other chores to think about the next city campaign. Nevertheless, there are persistent sound waves which reverberate the name of Ure in connection with tlie mayor's of fice. . Commissioner Towl avers that tie wants to wait and see what Santa Claus brings him before he talks about the city campaign. United States Marshal J. C. Dahl man, who was mayor for 12 years previous to the present city admin istration, is among the outsiders mentioned by the political sooth sayers. If Mr. iDahlman intends to relinquish his present federal job for the chances of getting back into the city hall, he has not publicly an nounced it. The last time he was questioned on the subject he declined to commit himself. Steve Maloney, former head of the city detective department, who was removed after a sensational hearing during the police coinmissionership of A. C. Kugcl, is among those who arc being mentioned. Mr. Maloney has confessed that he has'a lecling of confidence in his ability to per fbrm the ditties of city commissioner and believes he would be able to qualify for the place of police com missioner. The Maloney boom has been traced to some of his friends. He hasiadc no definite announce ment. ; Others Who May Run. . These is more foundation in tire rumor, that B. F. Thomas will make the race, than there is in the Ma loney boomlet. Mr. Thomas has served as postmaster and in other public positions. He would neitfter affirm nor deny that he was taking the matter tinder "prayerfnl consid eration." Gotfld Dietz, M. L. Learned and Rome Miller are among those whose names have been heard in the public forum. They are tactfully silent, except Mr. Learned who laughed and said somebody was trying to "kid" him. It is remembered, how ever, that a prominent Omaha man uttered a similar remark three years ago this month and when the- time came he walked over to the election commissioner's office and planked down his filing fee of $10. J. B. Hummel, former city com missioner in charge of the park de partment, was defeated three years Ago when there was a turnover in the city, administration. Mr. Hum mel, according to the best informa tion, will be in the race for the primary.

MONTAGUE Holding a Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife THE GLORY THAT WAS GREASE When visitors in Athens A year or two ago Asked passers-by the reason why The people shouted so, And why the flags were waving And why the bugles brayed, ' And everywhere a gladsome air Was fulsomely displayed, , The Greeks would grin and answer, "Our shouts and plaudits ring And we are gay because today We're chasing out the king! When visitors in Athens Today ask why the crowd In bright array makes holiday And shouts its cheers aloud, And holds torchlight processions With every one in line, And getelit up when brims the cup With good old Samian wine, Some citizens will answer, "Good news is on the wing. Come on along and join the throng, We're welcoming our king!" There was a time that Athens Had statesmanship to spare, , When Pericles, Demosthenes And Socrates were there.

The News Dicky Broke to Mother Graham and Madge. I frankly confess that I was cur ious concerning the revelation Moth er Graham meant to make when she "got her breath back." But it was several minutes after she was en sconced on the veranda looking over the pine grove before she appeared ready to talk. "It's good to be out again," she commented, as she looked out through the sunlight-flecked pines. "Do you know, Margaret, when you get to be my age, you'll wonder each time an illness sends you to bed whether or not you'll ever see the sunlight on the trees again." My heart constricted with pity for her, and with a sudden uncomfor table anticipation of the old age standpoint that would some time be mine, as it was now my motner-m-law's, But I answered her lightly, "You'll see the sunlight on the trees for many years to come, moth er. I ll bank on you. But let s tallt of something more cheerful. What is it you were going to tell me Dicky said? Under the Window, "What makes you think that's go ing to be a cheerful subject?" she demanded with a wry little grin Then she continued meditatively: "1 haven't much to go on except this. 1 overheard Richard talking to Dr, Paige underneath my window this morning. Uf course, Kicnara naa no idea I could hear him. But he was asking the doctor whether my hpart was nerfectlv strong, and if I could stand a piece of news, which. while not sad, migbt still upset me.

(Spe ciaLl All doubt as to the identity of Ernest A. Guest, 20, who was killed here a week ago in a battle with the police, was cleared away upon the arrival of Lieut. R. Mc Donald, an officer of the summary court martial board at Fort Crook. The body was compared with the description on the . soldiers' service if cord and were found to coincide. The gun med in the affair by Guest was tracedfback to his post, where it was missed by a corporal, shortly after Guest's disappearance. Guest enlisted in April, 1920.

I 'waited this time until I was sure a reply was expected of me. "How perfectly maddening, I commented at last. "Then you have no idea what Dr. Paige's verdiCI was?" "Not the slightest," my mother-in-law returned. "But that doesn't make the slightest difference," she added, compressing her lips. 1 11 have it out of Richard thejiext time he comes home, if it's something that sets my heart jumping four ways for Sunday. I hate mysteries." "Hold Your Breath." I echoed her words entally as I stooped and pulled a blanket more closely about her knees. And I was frankly glad, for once, for her per sistence. I could not, wouia not, my self, have made any reference to the "surprise" Dicky had planned for nie until he should get ready to tell me i what it was. But I knew his mother would be merciless in her queries and that mv curiosityand uneasiness would be fed without any effort on mv part. "I was frankly uneasy as to this mysterious "surprise" which Dicky wan planning. He has a penchant, as his mother said frequently, for getting himself into the most ridicu lous scrapes, and for fathering the mnct imnrartirable oroiects. I had a vague suspicion as to the nature of this present "surprise," but I did not like to admit its truth even to my self, much less to Mother Graham. " I wondered if Dr. Paige might not have forbidden any revelation to my mother-in-law as the day wore away and Dicky did not return to the house. But late in the afternoon, when I had ensconced Mother Gra ham safely in her room again and was sitting sewing near her. he came breezilv into the room, whistling a particularly "jazz" bit of music. "Richard." his mother said tartly, "if you feel that way you must get that out of your system; will you please go down in the pine grove out of earshot and whistle it clear through as many times as you wish. Then you will be satisfied, and I won't be annoyed. You know I de test that sort of music." Dicky stopped short, looked rue fully at his mother, then threw back his head and laughed. "You and Madge will jazz, too, when you hear my news," he said. "Now just hold vour breath while I get this out. I've "sold the Marvin house for $20,000. What do you think of that for high !" (Continued Tomorrow.) 1. At what age should children be permitted to attend the theater? This depends upon the character of the play given, the time of day and the disposition of the children. School children, regardless of their ages, should not attend evening per formances; no. children should see silly or suggeslive plays. The thea ter should be very sparingly used be fore adult life. , That remark made Sandy for me in the mail-box. It's ter I'M THE GUY I'M THE. GUY who gives himself amanicure m public. Why shouldn't 1? Tell me that. I don't see how I could make better use of la few minutes' spare time. I want my nails to look well and I don't intend to let a little thing like the public keep me from attending to them. Besides, I don't have time when I'm home to fix them right, I'm always in such a terrible hurry getting out. So I generally complete my toilet on the cars, for I'm always equipped with a knife, a scissors, a file and an emery board. I always shine them up with the palm of my hand. There isn't any reason tor your getting up on your high horse and telling me how iguoraut you think I WHY- Is Judas Pictured With Red Hair? For centuries past, the people of England have had a marked aversion to red hair a feeling attributed by historians and other experts to the hatred orig inally felt for the invading Danes and this dislike has cropped up in a number of ways, of which none is more interesting than the popular impression that Juras Is cariot had red hair and beard. The old dramatists and poets make frequent allusions to the subject. Shakespeare, in "As You Like It." makes Rosalind say: "His hair is of the dissem bling color," to which Celia re plies;. "Something borwner than Judas," Middhton, in his "Chaste Maid of Cheapside," pub lished in 1620, makes one of his characters, in speaking of a gift Apostle spoon, say "That was Judas with the red board," while Dryden's famous epigram on Jaboc Tonson describes him as having "two left legs and Judas Colored hair." ' f Probably for the same reason there is a legend or belief preva lent in rural England that Cain had a red beard and, in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," Shakespeare makes Simple speak of Slender as having a "yellow beard," a Cina-(Caiu) colored beard." (Copyright, 120. by tlii Wheelfr Syn dicate Inc.) lucky I found it when I did, for I believe Farmer Green would havx taken it if I hadn't reached the box before him." Old. Mr. Crow laughed mock ingly when Sandy called to him that he had a letter. "I see you have qne," Mr. Crow said. "But the question is, to whom does it really belong? . If the truth were known, I guess that letter rightfully belongs to a farmer named Green." That remark made Sandy angry. "The letter belongs to me!" he told Mr. Crow. "Here's my pic ture on it. You can see for yourself." Now, Mr. Crow could not read either for all he was so old. And when he saw the picture of a chip munk on the envelope, exactly like Sandy, he was very much sur prised. "Why don't you open your let ter?" he asked. "I hadn't, thought of that," Sandy replied. So he tore open the en velope and pulled out a paper. Its certainly for me, he said, "for here's my picture again. But I'd like to , know why these other people have their pictures in my let ter. They've no business in my letter!" Mr. Crow looked over Sandy's shoulder which was not at all a polite thing to do. I lhats queer! Mr. Lrow ex claimed. "There's one of the Red- Squirrel boys an.d Mrs. Mouse's son. And this voung ciiap here looks a lot like Rinaldo Rat. . . .! I'd be pretty angry if anybody sent j me a letter like triat, Mr. Crow then said. ' jov. tne real trouoie witn :ir, Crow was that he was jealous be cause Sandy Chipmunk had a letter while he had none. Id throw that letter away, if it was mine." remarked -Mr. Crow, And he--said so much that at last Sandy Chipmunk tossed the letter away and. went off to hunt for birds' eggs. As soon as Sandy was out of sight, Mr. Crow picked up the letter and flew home with it. He felt better because at last he had a letter, while Sandy Chipmunk no longer had one. That very afternoon Farmer Green drove to the village. And on bis way he stopped at the houses of several of his neighbors, to talk about the weather and the crops. And each one of them showed him a letter' that had come that day. telling all about a new kind of poison, to rid a farmer of chip munks and red squirrels and rats and mice.- "Sprinkle our powder around your corn-crib," the letter said, "and these little rodents will trouble you no longer." . "I declare!" cried Farmer Green at last. "I seem to be the only nerson in the neie'hhorhood that didn't get one of those letters.") Then he happened to remember the letter Sandy Chipmunk had carried away m his mouth. "It must have been that letter that the chipmunk stole out of my mail-box:!" Farmer Green said. And that night, when he reached home and told his family about the letter, his son, Johnnie, laughed harder than ever. "That must be a wise chip munk!" Johnnie Green exclaimed. "I wih I could catch him and put him in my squirrel cage." . "I wish he'd leave my mail alone," said Farmer Green. "The next thing we know, he'll be tak ing my newspaper to read. And maybe he'll come right into the house and borrpw my spectacles." Johnnie Green seemed to think his father was joking. And per haps he was. What do you think about it? (CapyriKlit.
