Switzler Quits
5,000 Committee
Due to "Business"
Split Over Issue of Municipal
Ownership Believed by
Some to Be Cause of
Resignation.
K. M. Switiler, 4914 Davenport
street, associated in the law business
with his father, Warren Switzler, re
signed yesterday from membership
in the Committee of 5,000 with
which he has been prominently
identified for a period of years.
Recently he has teen serving on
a special committee of that organ
ization, with C. F. Harrison and F.
i). Wead, in the work of selecting
candidates who would subscribe to
the principles of the Committee of
5,000.
In his formal resignation to Mr.
W'c.id, president, Mr. Switzler states
that "on account of pressure of busi
ness," he is unable to continue his
membership. He made it ptain that
his resignation carries with it with
drawal from membership as well as
a member of the special committee.
Ordinary membership in the organ
ization does not require the time of
a member to fulfill his obligation.
Not in Sympathy.
, It Is generally known that "pres
sure of business," does not toll the
full story of Mr. Switzler's resigna
tion. As a member of the nominat
ing committee it was necessary that
Mr. Switzler should require candi
dates to be endorsed or considered
for endorsement to subscribe to a
municipal ownership principle, which
expression Mr. Switzler does not be
Jj'eve should be required. He is not
in avmnathu with at! t ntan. rtf
the Committee of 5,000. He belicvea
the organization makes a pretence
of one issue and an advancement of
another, resulting in a "confusion of
issues."
He further believes that the lead
ers of the organization are not con
sistent and his objection to the mu
nicipal ownership feature of their
candidate-requirement is on the
srrounds that the Committee of 5,000
has only one function and that is
"good government."
Disagree on Issue. '
In this connection it is pointed out
that,F. D. Wead, president of the
Committee of 5,000, is also chairman
of the Metropolitan Water board,
and i a strong advocate of munici
pal ownership. Mr. Switzler and
Mr, Wead do not agree on that issue.
Mr. Switzler insists he is just "as
much for good government as he
has been. He is identified with the
Your Face and What It Tells
Should a Blonde Marry a Brunette Type? "Color
ing" Isn't a Dependable Guide to Characteris
' tics, Says Analyst Most Persons "Medium."
By MABEL WARNER RUGG.
Many writers on character analysis
have attempted to show up coloring
alone as an infallible index to char
acter, but front many years of ob
servation I know the distinct fallacy
of this attempt.
Aggressiveness, enthusiasm, opti
mism, general "pep" are qualities
these writers attribute to blondes, but
I have analyzed many a blonde who
did not express any of these. Bru
nettes are supposed to be given to
thoughtfulness, studtousness, serious
outlook on life, inclination to worry
and steadfastness. Yet you can pick
from your own acquaintances bru
nettes who do not show these char
acteristics at all.
There are, though, a few things we
can express as rather dependable
from color indications alone. Ex
tremes in coloring nearly always de
note extremes in temperament. The
extreme , blonde must guard against
extremes both of optimism and pessi
mism. The extreme brunette must
watch against negative moods of pes
simism and lack of self-confidence.
Blondes Like Variety.
The blonde loves variety, both in
work and play. This is probably
the reason blondes are accused ot
fickleness. Blondes as a rule, also,
are practical and commercial, while
the brunette does not require so
much activity, and is inclined to do
the nerious, mental work of the
world.
An examination of the pictures of
philosophers, leaders in religious
thought and musical composers
shows a predominance of brunette
coloring.
What "Color" to Marry?
Lay aside rightnow any belief in
the old superstition that an extreme
blonde should marry an extreme
brunette. Medium complexion
tends to an even balance in tem
perament. So, if you are inclined
to "moods" jt is better to associate
closely with a person who is bal
anced, who hits neither extreme of
pessimism nor optimism.
When you make your observations
of people for coloring, be sure you
know what really is a blonde and
what a brunette. If you may have
brown eyes and very light brown
hair, you are medium, the brown
eyes offsetting the light hair. Be
your eyes ever so light blue, if your
Iiair is dark, then you are medium.
Dark skin coloring, too, offsets
lightness both of hair and eyes, and
vice versa.

Play Stores Not
Fair. Says Grocer
Omaha Firm Charges Discrim
ination in Display of Goods
At Schools.
Alleging discrimination shown
against its goods in the display of
sample "stocks" in the play stores
in 40 Omaha public schools, a local
grocery firm complained to the
Board of Education.
The subject was discussed at a
meeting of the board, the outcome
being that this chain of stores will
be supervised hereafter directly from
the office of John H. Beveridge,
superintendent.
Some of the school board mem
bers were for closing the stores en
tirely, but a majority believed it
would be. harsh to deprive the chil
dren of the pleasure and instruc
tion they are deriving from this
school feature.
The proposition was launched last
year, being presented by the Manu
facturers' association to the school
authorities through W. A Ellis, as
sistant commisioner of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The specific complaint registered
by the grocery firm was that they
asked to have a line of their goods
installed in these stores and were
refused by the manufacturers' com
mittee, which provisioned" the
stores.
