Omaha Realtors
Approve Bill to
"License Dealers
Proposed Law Would Form
State Real Estate Department
To Eliminate "Wild Cat" ,
; Land Schemes.
The Omaha real estate board ap
proved last week the real estate
license bill which is to be introduced
in the next legislature by the legis
lative committee of the Nebraska
State Realty Dealers' association.
Secretary Mauel of the state as
sociation appeared before the Omaha
board at its weekly meeting and
presented the bill in detailed form.1
This is a regulatory bill providing
for the creation of a real estate de
partment, the expense to be borne
eutirely by fees to be" charged to
jreal estate dealers.
The bill provides that the fee be
$10 annually for brokers and $2 for
salesmen. . ,,
. The chief purpose of the bill, ac
cording to Secretary Mauel, is to
enable the state to regulate unethical
and "fly by night" dealers.
' The bill will be largely a protec
tion to the public," Mauel said. "It
will provide for official investigation
of "wildcat' 'land schemes that have
taken millions out of the state' in
the past. Official investigation will
naturally pi-event the carrying out of
euch schemes." ; '
Price Asked for Omaha
Flat Buildings Is Too
. High for Investment
Two salesmen for Hastings Hey
den canvassed the district between f
Dodge and Cumingslreets west of
Seventeenth . to Lincoln boulevard
last week looking for flat buildings
as an investment for a client.
They found 38 buildings that they
regarded as desirable, but found only
four owners that would consider sell
ing. .
."These four owners had their ,pnoc
so high," said Kenneth, Reed, one of
the salesmen, "that their pr6perty
would not be desirable for- invest
ment." V
Members of the company interpret
this as evidence that the Omaha real
estate market is as firm as it, ever

New York, ' Dec 11. Unhappy
married women, be of good cheer!
Now. we said "unhaooy" and not
"unhappily." And there is a great
difference. ' .
The good cheer has naught to do
with the approaching holiday sea
son .either.
It is directly dependent on the
visit to New York of Dr. . Julian
Bourguet, noted French surgeon and
specialist in facial reconstruction,
now at the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
He removes wrinkles, .gives a lift
to weary faces and puts impudent,
turned up noses and inquisitive,
overlone ones into their olaces. reEU-
i lar and pleasing to behold.
We inserts morale where none
ever grew before and makes large
sounding-board ears lie down and
behave.
Not that all this is done in the
cause of mere beauty. No, indeed,
Dr. Bourguet maintains that not a
desire to be handsome, but a wish to
be inconspicious causes most of the
0perationsi he performs; that deep
suffering is caused many by facial
deformities. ' ; ,
Makes Wives "Young." )
And' best of all he makes young
again the wife whose rearing of chil
dren and enduring of' domestic bur
dens have placed unsightly wrinkles
in her face. ,
"So many women grow old before
their husbands," says Dr. Bourguet.
"That is a pity yes?"
"The women wish to keep up with
the man, ,who after many years of
marriage, "manages to keep himself
young and gay." His wife must go
the same pace or lose. Her trouble
is wrinkles, and they are easy to
banish. Her tissues may be, too re
laxed and a little lifting smboth'es
out her countenance, takes her back
to youth. "', .
"Few men worry about wrinkles.
BEE-
a patriot in
suspense:..
By SAM HELLMAN.
"Patriotism" said Old Dr. John
feon during a severe attack of epi
grammitis. "is the last refuge of a
scoundrel." It isn't anything of the
sort Patriotism is the pathological
condition of the mind which leads a,
man to" think he would rather die
from a shrapnel wound in a trench
than from cirrhosis of the liver in
bed. In years to come which would
you rather have your child say, "My
father was killed at the head of his
regiment, or "the old man died of
hardening of the arteries?" Sure you
would the latter. That's patriotism.
. Jenie Hill who talked $2 hats into
$8 sales at the Peerless department
store was patriotic within limitations.
She clapped her hatds at the movies
every time they flashed an American
flag or a battleship passing uiider
Brooklyn bridge and coincided with
the view that one American could
lick 100 Austriahs, Albanians, Afri
cans, Bolivians, Bulgars, (oh. finish
it yourself. You can't take in tpo
much territory.) . : ;- . ,1
-"Well, relations are bfoke," re
marked Hailley in shoes the day of
that great international jilt.
"You don't say," exclaimed Jennie,
"mine have been that way for a long
time."
"What way?" '
.CBroke, kid, broke. They ain't
none of them $ver seen one of them
new dimes because " the old ones
would be new'to Jhem. Say, if all
the junk in this store could be got
tor $10 the whole bunch couldn't
buy a remnant of cheese clofh. Why
Cousin Mike "
3 "Hey, there. : Come out of it'.
Wipe the bene dust off your collar.
What I'm trying to tell you is that
ty-e're Ifoing to have war with Ger
many;'., We broke all relations with
, them today. . -Get me?"
""War?" repeated Jennie, "what
abdut? Over some relations?"
"WUi it's like this Say you don'F
need to. know what about, do you?
We're gonna liave war I tell you." '
"Are, you gonna fight" asked
Jennie.. . - , . ,
p ,"Sure, ,if they need nic."
Heavens, it .can t get that bad.
Af crt't you afraid?" '
"Me, I. Should, say not I'd like
to be an aviator you know one of
thfm air fighters.
v.. .:ti t.
You will be," consoled Jennie.
'no matter, what part of the army
Largre noses and unsightlyears are
their chief trouble. .
''Deformities cause more unhappi
ness than we think. Projected mar
riages 'are often broken off arid so
cial positions ruined because of
ugly features." '-. . ; ' " V
Erases Wrinkles.' .
Wrinkles in the forehead are re
moved, as Dr. Bourguet explained,
by, incisioii in the scalj) several
inches above the temples. The
nerves which cause the eyebrows to
be raised in petulance or worry are
severed, and after the cause is re
moved the wrinkles disappear.
"But suppose one wishes to raise
her eyebrows later on. Suppose she
is surprised?" I asked.
"Ah." laughed the surgeon, "what
would you; there must be some sac
rifice and some compensation. We
can't Ijave everything.
' "Wrinkles about the eyes, cheeks,
mouth arid in the neck are simple
to remove. Just a lifting up of the
skin in different places in the scalp,
where it never shows, takes them
away, the scars never show.
"Double chins?" Those can be re
moved by massage. My work is with
the 'wrinkled faces that sag.
"It is very satisfactory to me to
know that I have relieved a patient
of suffering and unhappiness'. Few
of my patients have come seeking
beauty, but only to be relieved of
embarrassment of some sorthL ,
Work for Maimed Soldiers? ,.
But so far we have spoken only
of the peacetime work of this doc
tor, so well known in France. Dur-4
ing xne war ne, am general work
at the friSnt and later on, after serv
ing at the Marne, Yser and Cham
pagne, he went; to Paris to specialize
in reconstructing the features of
maimed soldiers. t
Dr. Bourguet plans to remain in
America for a month, during which
time he will have, conferences with
Dr. Gushing of Boston, and Dr,
Frazier of Philadelphia "

nurse.", ; . ., . . . .
"Nurse", ' huh, ; what do you know
about being a nurse?"
"What do you know about flyin?''

"Nothin' stirrinV I'm goin with

guarantee the authenticity of the written will which Mr. Reynolds had
made previously, and which he read Itito the Ediphone. Attorney James
E. Callahan is shown in the photo dictating his name as a "spoken
signature." "Mr. Reynolds is very careful because ofhis large estate,"
the attorney said, in explaining the unusual method ol making a will.
"An erasure or alteration can be made in a written will, but not on a
phonograph record. A writtea signature can be forged; voices cannot
be imitated. The record shows jthe court the strength of voice of the
testator and the court can judge trom the fluency as evidenced m the

tension of credit.
U. S. May Furnish Credit. -
Whether the credit shall be ex
tended by the United States gov
ernment or by private capital is a
question that has been discussed tat
not settled. Some of the Harding
advisers advocate an extension of
government credit. .
On the ground that in no other
way could the United States accom
plish so cheaply and so effectively
the maintenance of orderly govern
ment in Mexico and tha the vital
interest of the United States in Mex
ico warrants such asistance as
much as the extension of credit to
the allies during the war. .
It is realized, however, that there
would be considerable opposition to
the' Extension of government credit
for several hundred million dollars
and its is conceived to be likely that
the advance of funds would be made
by a group of American fianciers on
terms approved by the government.
"It is suspected that the apparent
hitch in pbregon's acceptance of
the Wilson administration's, terms
of recognition , is not unrelated to
prospective understanding between
him apid the Harding administration.

isfied that an infraction of the cov
enant as described in article 16 of the
document has occurred, they will be
expected to carry out the provisions
of-the first paragraph of that article,
.namely, break off till financial, com
mercial and personal relations oe- .
tween their national and the nation
als of the covenant-breaking state.
The report, which is taken as mere
ly interpreting the covenant, pro
voked a somewhat confused debate.

Switzerland, obtained a modificatiqn
;u favor of maintaing ."relations far -purely
humanitarian purposes."
