THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1921. Crowds Besiege Library to Solve Bee Questionnaire Reference Works in Demand; v Seekers After Knowledge Find Orange in Berry and Onion Related to Lily. HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison' New Phase of "Revelation of a Wife" Did you know the onion and lily were related? Well they are. The lily spends most of it time in high society and church, thus characteriz ing itself as a plutocrat. The onion is usually found in some sort of stew and being poor, the lily has nothing to do with it. Each is noted for its perfume. The one of sweet penetrat ing odor reminding one of church choirs and surplices, the other ot stevedores and bull fighters. This is only one of the many things that are found out every day in the reference room of the public library by huudreds of men, wom en and children, from every walk in life who are seeking answers to the questions propounded in The Bee's questionnaire. Ministers, engineers, coal heavers, stenographers, schoot girls and in surance men are congregating in the room each evening. With The Bee's questionnaire spread before them thev dig into the encyclopcda Brit- tanica or Americana and a host of other reference works getting the an swers 10 questions. Not Edison Product. The questionnaire did not originate with Edison. Many of the boys who heaved a mean hand grenade in the Argonne knew what it was. Edison merely converted it to his own use. The Bee is making it popular for hundreds of persons who never knew there was a public library with books inside 'n everthing, are find ing it out now and are learning to find their way about through a maze of reference works with intelligence. It isn't altogether a search after knowledge, librarian say. For those who answer 31 of the questions correctly know they will receive a financial reward. . Even at that. . In searching for the answers to the ques tions a great deal of knowledge is gained. One of the questions is: What is a, spectrum? Looking up spectrum in the encyclopedia orte learns that it has souething to do with spectro graphy. After spectrum is says: See, dispersion, light, spectroscope. The search continues and in time the searcher learns what a spectrum is. Concerns Geography. . One of the questions has to do with the geography of Nebraska. Consequently a new map of the state showing everything connected with it geographically lias been hung up in the library hall for easy access. What is an orange, appears to be an easy question. The answer is probably written, a fruit. Brother you never was so wrong. An orange is the fruit of a certain plant of the citrus family and in reality is a berry. i Did you know that the horse once had five toes and was known to our forefathers as the cohippus? . It did, and was. - It 'took five periods) of r'nit, for th Viorsrv tft" evolute into a. '!-, it le trtitav Husbands Come Too. Husbands come to the reference room and look up the questions for their wives. Hired girls look up th answers after they have done the dishes at night. The librarians at first thought they would compile answers to all the questions and . pass them out to all comers. Then the idea came to them! that it would be more educational for each person seeking the answers to look them op himself. Only when a seeker is really stuck and in trou ble will the librarians aid.. This was the idea The Bee had in mind when the contest was launched. To spread knowledge among its readrs and pay them while they w ere being educated. The contest closes August 31, All answers to the questionnaire must be in by 6 p. m. Favors Coeducation In Business Colleges Prof. J. A. Youngstrom, president of the American Institute of Business Efficiency, claims that a business college teaching shorthand, type writing, secretarial work, bookkeep ing, accountancy, comptometry, sales manship, etc., should be co-educational. For, he says, how e"!se is a boy or girl who graduates and is sent out to take a position in an office, where both men and women must mingle, to acquire that grace and t ease of manner that not only makes one pleasant and agreeable, but also more desirable and efficient? Timidity, unnecessary embarrass ment and" inability successfully to meet and converse with men or wom en of opposite sex, socially or on business subjects, are some of the handicaps of people who have been isolated one from the other through out their college career. These draw backs in themselves are frequently responsible for mediocre careers, he says. Due to these reasons, he says, among the students of the Ameri can Institute of Business Efficiency, are both men and women. Man Freezes Hands. Plattsmouth, Neb., Aug. 7. (Spe cial.) Frank Johnson of Louisville had his hands frozen in midsummer while attempting to connect a gas drum in which the valve had become opened to his soda fountain. The gas escaped with such rapidity as to create a freezing atmosphere about his hands as he worked. Crcighton University. Commencement of the ninth session of Creighton university summer school, held In to University auditorium, was remark able In that graduates came from the eastern and western extremities ef the continent, and from near and distant parts of the Intervening- country both north and south. The 43 recipients of the various masters and bachelors decrees cam from !T localities and represented Ore con, Washington, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas. Oklahoma Missouri. Tennessee. - Iowa, Illinois, New York and Nova ecotia. Rev. Mark J. McNeal ot the Cathollo University of Japan, was a guest of Crelghton university, July SO to August 3. and poke with many influential, persons of Omaha. He ts traveling through th United States to Interest bis fellow coun trymen in his university which Is tn Toklo. and to raise th endowment fund ot ISOO.OOe needed for th university to receive from th Japanese government the standing recognition of an tmparial institution. He went from Omaha to Denver, with th intention ot stopping her again on his war east. Whit Marsden's Letter Meant to Dicky. T lisi i crime It In cr i y nuf t ( t Vi "it- dinary had happened to Dicky, the news of which was contained in the letter he was smoothing out, I was sure. I was certain ot something else also, that whatever revelation the letter contained, I did not wish in 1irn if rn 111 nnhliV liirrtiu'Sv Therefore, I did not stop the car, as he had suggested, but sent it along at undiminished speed, speak ing quickly, pieaaingiy, as i ciia so. "Oh, Dicky, please! We're almost at the farm. I'll just give these sulphur Qindles to Mrs. Ticer she's waiting for them, you know and then let's go up on our hill. Vc shan't be disturbed there, and you can tell me all about it." "Oh. of course, if Mrs. Ticer's sulphur candles are of more import ance than my affairs I" he began ruffily, but my ear caught an intona tion of relief beneath his crustiness, and I knew that he in reality ap proved my suggestion. It's No Use-" I did not answer him indeed, did not speak again until we had turned into the neglected, grass-grown driveway of the Dacey place, had delivered the sulphur candles to Mrs. Ticer, and then turned the car up an old weedy cow-patch leading past the barn to the pasture land on the hillside. As we reached it. I parked the car in such a fashion that the exquisitely etched view of- roll ing meadows, woodland and church-spired-village, with the oecan at th end, should face my beauty-loving husband and comfort him, or at least distract his attention. But he only gave it his unusual tribute of a, long1, silent, admiring look, then turned back to m; with a gesture which savored somewhat of actual despair. .What could Marsden have written to make my Peter Pan look like this? "It's no use, Madge," Dicky said heavily.. "The only use I can sec for this view is for me to do it over and over again, and go around with the little pictures . under . my arm peddling them. Look at thisl" He held out the crumpled pages of Marsden's letter to me. 1 ' "Do You Wonder? I scanned them curiously, seeing what I always ,sav in Marsden's letters, a short typewritten page, dic tated to his stenographer, for office inspection and record, and then a letter written in his own rather ec centric chirography for Dicky's eyes alone, a letter of inside expla nation, intimtae, confidential, highly indiscreet if it fell into certain hands, but safe for Dicky who counts Marsden as one of his best friends always destroyedd bis pri vate letters as soon as he had read them. I took up the official letter first. "My Dear Mr. Graham: I re gret to inform you that Mr. Pennington is not satisfied with the illustrations you have made for his forthcoming book, Tn That Day. We have vainly tried in every way to alter his decision, but he abso lutely refuses to .consider them, say ing that they do not correctly inter pret the spirit of his novel. " As-you will no doubt remember, our agree ment provided that Mr. Penning ton's approval was necessary for the acceptance of the illustrations. I wish you would come into the office that we may talk the matter over. Please advise if you can come in Monday. Mr. Pennington will be out ot the city unt.i men, and, of course, it is netessary that he be at the conterence. coraiany yours, "STEPHEN MARSDEN. I put the page down, looking at my husband with a sympathetic, frightened understanding of his feel ing upon the receipt of the letter. I remember so well how frankly overjoyed Dicky had been when Marsden had given him the Penning- because of Marsden's personal pref erence or friendship Marsden would not have given nor Dicky received anything on that basis but Pen nington, the man of the day in book circles, had been hunting an illus trator, dissatisfied with the big men who had been doing the work, and Marsden had adroitly brought some specimens of Dicky's work before the great author's eyes, without a word of comment upon them. Pen nington had declared that they were exactly the kind of thing' he wished, and Dicky forthwith had been given the work of illustrating his just finished novel. It had meant a great deal, for Dicky while a promising and more than ordinarily successful illustrator has not reached the top of the ladder, where three or four men sit complacently but insecurely, and this was the first time he had been chosen to illustrate one of the books which I had heard him dedscribe as "top-hole things." And now, th; illustrations over which he , had worked so hard, had been rejected. "Do you wonder I'm hipped?" Dicky demanded, as my gaze met his. "That just about means I'm finished in this game. But just read Marsden's private screed, and see what damnable luck I've had." (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) Parents' Problems Should the interest of a boy of 11 in reading stories of thrilling ad venture be curbed J Provided that the adventures of these stories are healthy, that is to say dependent upon courage and guided by right, there would seem to be no reason why a boy's interest in reading them should be curbed. Put withip his reach such books as Nansen's 'Farthest North, Stanley's Darkest Africa, or any of the va rious accounts of the dashes for the north and south pole. The myrtle and the leek are re garded , as luck-bringers, and in Va1es they say a leek growing ort a wall will keep off witches. Cotner Universly.

"The young man or woman who wants to enter business life, who must do so without capital and who does not know definitely in what branch they want to specialize, would make no mistake in choosing ste nography," says a Boylcs college professor. "A good stenographer can always get a good position at a good salary. "But this, however, is not the main point. The big thing is that stenography offers such great op portunities for advancement. It puts the young workers in positions of confidence, in direct contact with big business men, gives them the se crets of business and holds open the door of oppotunity to them daily. "Edward Bok, vice president of the Curtis Publishing company, who began his business career as a ste nographer, said: "'Stenography places employes in positions of confidence and bring them into direct contact with the employer. This gives them an in sight into the inner workings of business which they could not get in any other way and it gives them a chance to distinguish themselves in the eyes of their employers. Thou sands, millions, of men and women never come in contact with the boss. Consequently, much fine talent is overlooked.' " In the training of stenographers, Eoyles' college keeps constantly in mind the opportunities afforded by direct contact with the employer, and the advantages to be derived from special knowledge that will make the stenographer a real assistant to the executive. Stenography as given at Boyles college is reaily a private secretarial course, embracing not only short hand and typewriting, but office practice, business usage and secre tarial drills. By knowing more than mere shorthand, by having a work ing knowledge of business princi ples and office practices, the be ginner in a stenographic postion can at once win the favor f his em ployer, thus paving the way for ad vancement to an administrative po sition.
