The birth rate in Nebraska is two and a halt times greater than the death rate judgng from figures compiled by the vital statistics bureau of the state depart ment of health from its registrars in Nebraska. Which leads Miss May F. Hyland, state registrar, to an nounce that "Nebraska is facing any thing but race suicide." Replies from a questionnaire sent to all registrars in the state con taining 18 questions relative to vital statistic information in the state, dis close there are 2.50O certificates of birth received each month as com pared with 1,000 certificates of death for the same period. - Births Add 30,000. Taking the monthly figures for births and deaths, Miss Hyland bases a yearly gain to the population of Nebraska or 30,000 by native birth and a loss of 12,000 by death. It was pointed out, however, that these figures are averages arrived at through general survey and would probably vary in many communities and state in succeeding years. Licenses to marry were awarded 15.928 couples last year, according to figures brought out by the ques tionnaire, the county judge of each county being required by law to file, before ' February each year, an abridged statement of all marriage licenses issued by him during the preceding calendar year. Divorces Low. The number of divorces as com pared with marriage licenses was very low, according to Miss Hyland. "Nebraskans desirous of ascertain ing the record of any birth, death, marriage or divorce have, through the records of the vital statistics system in the state, immediate access to this information," Miss Hyland said, in explaining the details of the statistical survey in the state. "On many occasions it has been found that such information has brought untold benefit to interested parties." Man Alleged to Have Sold Indians Omaha Booze-, Jailed Auburn, Neb., Aug. 12. (Special.)

Lincoln, Aug. 12. (Special.) Ray Lower, former cashier of the Valparaiso State bank, will not be rleased from the Wahoo county jail until his bonds are personally ap proved by Assistant Attorney Gen eral J. B. Chase. "The bond for Lowler is $20,000 and there must be the name or names of some mighty responsible citizens on that bond to get him out this time," Chase said today. Chase returned today from Wa hoo, where he was called yesterday by a telephone message from Low er's wife saying she had bondsmen to get her banker husband out of jail. "When I arrived I found the bonds were not ready and left ward to notify me when they were ready and I would make another trip to ascertain the financial status of his bondsmen," Chase said. Lower pleaded guilty once to con verting several thousands of dollars of the bank's money to his own use and was sentenced to the peniten tiary. Then a lawyer took his case and appealed from the sentence of the district court on the ground that the complaint was signed by the as sistant attorney general instead of the attorney general. The supreme court upheld the lawyer's conten tion and dismissed the case on the technicality. However, there are 22 other counts pending against Lower, who finally was arrested early this week after officers had searched for him for several weeks after the supreme court's decision. "We're going after him again stronger than ever," Chase said. "This trial undoubtedly will cost the state considerable money." Get New Fire Truck Fawnee City, Neb., Aug. 12 (Special.)

By E. C. SNYDER. Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee. Washington, Aug. 12. (Special Telegram.) Dairymen in Nebraska, who have not hesitated to write their congressmen about protecting the producers and manufacturers of pure milk products against substi tutes, will welcome action of the house committee on agriculture which reported favorably the so called Voight filled-milk bill today. Congressman McLaughlin of the York district, a member of the com mittee, who has been greatly inter red in this legislation, said that the purpose of the bill was to safe guard makers of pure milk products trom the substitutes that contain vegetable oils in the place of butter fats- In explaining the provisions of the measure, he said: "Many brands of filled milk have been so" labeled as to make it im possible for the purchaser to know whether he is buying pure milk or filled milk. Instances were reported tn flip committee wh ile the hearings were in progress where children in the cities had been greatly under nourished because of the consump tion of filled milk in which the but ter, fat was absent. "The measure as reported makes it unlawful to manufacture within any territory or possession of the United States or the District of Columbia, or to ship within such territory any filled milk, and carries a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, in case of violation. A saving clause of 30 days after the act becomes a law is incorporated in the bill in order to allow time for business conditions to adjust them selves to the provisions of the new law. "It was the understanding of the committee in reporting the bill that it would not be taken up for con sideration in the house until after Sizes for All Builds of Men s l the recess of the house, which will probably terminate about Octo ber 1."
