THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 1921. 7 A. Girl Editor Runs Telephone Board For Local Color Finds Oat What Hello Girls Like to See in Their Ma gazine, and Now to Ob tain It From Them. By HAZEL BLAIR. St. Louis, Mo. Three months ex perience as a telephone operator fol lowing her graduation from the journalistic de partment of the , Missouri state university,., in oi der to obtain in formation for her new job as asso ciate editor of the Southwestern . Telephone News, is the unique rcc- rri marl Vv 1iei: Mary Sue Pat ton of bt. Louis. She knows just what sort of material the girls want to to see in the monthly maga zine and just how to obtain from them what they do know. Misa-fPatton was graduated from college in 1920, and went to Canada to do newspaper work. Later she returned- and took the journalistic degree. She was then told of the need in St. Louis for such a position if she would work as an operator for several months. Pending the plac ing of her there "she worked on an Oklahoma paper for several weeks. Then as she tells the story: "I was sent for to work on the switch board in St. Louis. I wept with fear and trembling and reported to the schools, only to be turned down. However, that matter was fixed up and I started in on the most strenu ous work I had ever attempted. Fi nally I arrived at the place where I was a real operator. The girls came to know me just as one of themselves and I liked them. It all stands me in good stead now. "There is no way that helps to hold a position higher as much as by working with those of the ranks first. It gives you understanding that is valuable. My friends tell me the system is better since I quit operating ana Decame an caitor maybe so." Doctors Declare War on Cocktails THE LOVE LINK By OWEN OLIVER London Physicians Assert Craze Ruining Stomachs Of Nation. London," Aug. 13. An anti-cocktail campaign has been launched by Lon don medical men at the very moment when sweltering heat is driving thousands to their favorite bars for "clover clubs," "bronxes" and all other brands of cocktails guaranteed to brace and cool. ( Men's stomachs are being ruined by the cocktail habit, say the medicos, and what is worse the ladies are becoming addicts. The news papers have taken up tre discussion pro and con and have discovered that many a London drinker gets away with six or eight cocktails ev ery evening before dinner. It was not learned how many they get away with after dinner. The doctors say that this is all wrong that it creates an abnormal appetite and that the digestive organs cannot take care of both the booze and the extra supply of food. An American physician agrees with them in a letter to the Times, but another American, writing from the bar of a London club, remarks that hun dreds of thousands of Americans have been licking up cocktails all their lives apparently with no bad results. - l.WW-Old Chicaeo Grl Has Never Seen Rail Train Chicago, Aug. 13. Dolly Malley, 13-ycar-old school girl, has never seen a railroad train except in the school "g'og'aphy." Although living within easy walk ing distance of five great Chicago railway terminals, the girl has never left , the neighborhood ot her hotne.i Newspapermen who found she had never even visited Chicago's "loop," only eight blocks away, suspected a "child prisoner" story. Investigation showed, however, it was entirely Dolly's fault. "I just never cared about going away from here," she told reporters. "I was born and !iscd here in this neighborhood and it's good enough for me." 1 Not even "choo-choos can coax her away. Town of 20 Families Shows What Real Boosting Is Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 13. North moor, a new hamlet, populated by 20 families, has developed a "get it done" spirit. Recently the citizens met and formed the East Platte County Tf uunsici HUM. Since that time the club has ob tained a right-of-way for a road; ' elected a road committee; asked for donations, and 20 minutes later had and some in monthly payments. Northmoor does not want to be known as a "dead" town, therefore the boosters have built a community house. Thev are olanning to use this for entertainments, banquets and dances at regular intervals.

They will not only wear pajamas at their annual banquet, but these will be of finest silk texture. A rule just adopted by the club calls for this form of "evening dress" at the yearly affair which -will be held August 4 i THE professor's discourse, when he showed us round his collec tion of antiquities, was interest ing. I mentioned it approvingly to several people afterwards, I remem ber. I also remember that, at the time, was very bored I I am an old woman of the present world, present-worldly. I do not care what happened 2,000 years B. C. I was relieved, therefore, when my niece, Amanda, interrupted him in a dissertation about the bearing of some blobs on a piece of flower pot he called them an inscription upon the exact date of something which happened to a Rameses or a Ptolemy I always confuse them. She rushed upon us, and held up a flat ring of dull brass; something like the ring of a big curtain pole, only solid. "Oh!" she cried. "They had cur tains then, professor!" ' "Curtains?" he said. "Yes; yes! But that is an anklet, Amanda. Not a curtain ring; a peculiar sort of anklet." "What peculiar sort?' she wanted to know. "It was what they called a love link," he told her. "It differs from the ordinary anklets. They were mostly worn by slaves, and were cither plain or bore merely orna mental ngures or an inscription which was in effect: This young lady is the property of .' " 'But suppose shed grown oia, Amanda interposed, and wasnt y0?8' .... Charming ladies never grow oia, he replied. "Look at your aunt! He bowed to me. I will own that, when the profes sor comes out of the past, he has a present tact and readiness. "Anyhow," Amanda said, 'this one isn't that sort." "No," he agreed. "It is, as I staled, a love link. What qualified a fragment of brass to exercise magic powers I don't know. It is clear that the power was thought tn reside oartlv in the material, not only in the inscription or the decora- tion, thougn tnat nuie ngure uic Egvptian equivalent of a Cupid. ' "And what does the inscription sav," she persisted. "Something like this. As let me see. I managed to turn it into verse of equivalent meter. If I can re call it ... . Yes. I can: As bee to flower. As river to sea, As slave to power Thou comest to me. "The translation, of course, is not quite literal. For instance " "Who is 'me?' " Amanda inter rupted. N "The giver," he said, "naturally." "Oh!" she cried. "I see! It's a charm! To make any one fall in love. What a naughty little brace let. Leg bracelet, I mean. I wish you'd give it to me!" I laughed. The professor reflect ed; laughed also. Amanda appeared to reflect; but she never does i men she joined in the laughter. "I shouldn't put it on, you know," she protested. "And I suppose she had to -wear -it to well, to be drawn? You , couldn t wear an anklet nowadays; not while skirts are so short; but I'd love to have it! I suppose you won t give it to mer She looked at him with her head on one side. Amanda is fascinating, and I interposed to save the poor man. He prizes his B. C.'s. "He'll need it to catch his des tined sorrow," I told her. "Leave it to him, Amanda. You'd better beg a bait that you can fish with." "Ye-e3," she wielded unwillingly. "It's a man's charm, of course; and since he doesn't wish to use it on me!" . "You say you wouldnt wear it," he apologized. "If long skirts came in I might," she thought. "When they do," he countered, "I'll consider the question." "You nasty, mean oh, well! Aren't there any charms for wo men to draw men with?" "I believe," he stated gravely, there are 391." her eyes wide. "Then give me one." "You have them all," he asserted, without a twinkle in his eye. "Bow for the compliment," I told her. "He doesn't mean it for a compliment,"-she said mournfully; "only ihat he won't give me any of his old things! It's just an excuse; a mean excuse!" She pouted. Upon my rord, I pity the man Amanda pouts at. I don't know how he can be expected to stand it. He couldn't. "If you'll wait a few days," he promised her, "while I take a plaster cast of the anklet, then I'll give it to you. You'll put it on at your own risk, you know." "And yours," I warned, him. "O," she said, "he's all' right! I haven't the charm for him." "Any of the 391 will do!" he mur mured. , "I've tried about SO," she declared, and they haven't had any effect that I can see. Unless the chocolates are due to them? They're awfully nice chos. anyway; and the love link is sweet! Ever so sweet! Thank you so much. I shall love it. And, if I run into your studio some day, you'll know I've had it on! And" ( she sat back on the table with her hands on it "and what will you do then?" "Angels and . ministers of grace defend us!" he cried. "I you're too i:ear that vase, Amanda! Mind!" He moved several articles further from her; wiped his forehead with his handkerchief. "That," he observed," was a near thing. Now come and have some tea, before you beg a mummy! Or an embalmed heart!" "I suppose," she teased, "you haven't any other sort?" We went down to tea, and while Amanda was talking to his sister her husband was abroad and she was keeping house for the professor I talked to him. He was at school with my youngest brother, and I was always a big sister to him. "Fred," I stated, "you are a fool!" "You've known that for over 30 .years," he said, "and I've known it for the last three or fourl What is the latest illustration," "That anklet thing is no use to the child," I illustrated, "and I sup pose it's valuable to you?" He nodded. "From the plaster cast," he ob served, "I shall have a copy made." ."A copy! Umph! That won't lJ th same thigg to you "No." He grinned. "It will be to Amanda, though 1" We looked at each other with mu tual appreciation. I always thank Providence that, among my friends, I reckon some with a gift of humor. "What are you laughing at, auntie?" Amanda wanted to know. "He thinks you can't get the ank let on," I stated promptly. "Oh!" She perked herself and stuck out a foot for inspection. "Can't I, indeed! Look at that! Three and a half, and small ankles! But I shan't try. Which does it charm on? I'll try the other." "Either," he said. "Oh, well! You needn't be afraid!" She resumed her conversation, and I shock my head at him. "What horrible, deceitful creatures men are," I rproached him. "How ever, I was going to suggest it to you! In Amanda's interest, of course. "She says she isn't going to try it on," he observed. "And she'll do it before she's had it half an hour," I assured him, "just to see if it has any effect! Of course it hasn't the real one, I mean. You don't believe that?" "Depends on the person it's used on," he thought. "I imagine the Egyptians tried it oo. ladies who were predisposed to be affected by it! You see, anything which kept them thinking about the, suitor would be a sort of charm. For ex ample, if Captain Richards gave it to her? Eh?" "Umph!" I said. "I'm not sure whether it's Richards. Amanda doesn't seem to- settle upon her flower! The naughty little bee. She's a nimrnlarlv attractive . girl, don t you think, Fred? Even a confirmed old bachelor like you must own that. Come, don t be mean. Own it just to please me." "Most attractive," ne agreed ; "most attractive! If I had met any one like her IS years ago when I was S and 20 well, I dont sup pose I'd have had my present pro fessorship, or the same reputation as a scholar. I have often thought that a man would be wise to marry a plain wcjman; less distraction from the serious business of life.!" "You've known several plain women," I reminded him. "Ah! Yes! I didn't want to marry them, you see! That's the drawback to plain women. You don't. Well, I'm pleased to give the child the anklet. She should have the original if it were any better to her; but it isn't. She doesn't need any charm. She has her 392" "You said 391." "I left out her aunt!" he grinned. "The "relationship alone is almost sufficient to me to 'do me in,' as they say. Now, if you weren't mar ried 1" "I don't think I'm plain enough," I protested. "That," he stated, "is the second insuperable difficulty!" "I have boxed your ears several times," I reminded him. "After I have taken advantage of the mistletoe," he reflected. He em phasized the 'after.' ' I must say I like Professor Fred. You see, he was in love with me when he was 11 and I was 1 and 20. My husband says I was rather like Amanda then. It was nearly a fortnight later be fore the anklet came. Amanda shrieked with delight when she took it out of the box. "It looks newer," she observed. "He's had it polished up a bit for me. That was thoughtful. You know, he is kind. The little Cupid thing is quite plain. O, you dear, naughty, wicked little charm!" She stroked it. "It's ever so solid and heavy. You feel!" I took the anklet and inspected it. No doubt he had had it dulled down as much as he could; but to me it looked suspiciously new and bright. Amanda kicked off her shoes. "Which leg had I better try it on first?" She puzzled. "Umph!" I said. "The right. gen erally has first choice." "Ye-es," she agreed doubtfully; "but in some things the left is the right. Your heart's on the left, isn't it?" She felt herself carefully. "I should think it would work best on that side. Wouldn't you?" "Good gracious, child!" I cried. "Any one would think you wanted it to work!" . "I want to know if it does,' she explained. "Like you taste uncle's medicine, you knowl - It isn't that you want to, only you're inquisitive about things." "I am not -inquisitive, Amanda, I denied, "but I always like to ascer tain the exact facts about every thing." "That's what I mean," she stated. "I think the left leg is the right one. Help me push it on. O-o-h-h! Don't be rough, auntie! Don't be rough! They must have had little feet in those days! If any one wa:ited to charm a big woman I wonder what they did. Push hard. Not too hard! Ugh-h! Ah-h-h! That's it!" She rose and pranced about the room in her stockings, holding up her skirts to display the anklet. "I don't seem to feel anything," she complained. "I thought I did just at first; but it was only the cold creeping up me; and now it's warmed. . What an old darling the professor is! But, of course, he isn't old really. I call him awfully nice looking. Don't you?" "I haven't the anklet on,' I men tioned. "Now, dont- start being silly! It isn't that. I don't feel anything. I whoo!" She cut a caper and stood on one foot to feel the other. "A love pang?" I suggested. "A nail on the carpet!" she cried. "Mary ought to sweep better! Do you know, I was quite startled. I really thought it was beginning to work. It isn't a nail. It's a screw. Uncle must have dropped it when he mended the chair. I shall talk to him about it; tell him he might have lamed his best niece for life! He always drops half his things. I wonder why he's never married?" "I can show you my marriage lines, miss!" I said. "I don't mean uncle and you. I mean the professor and nobody. It isn't as if he was always buried in his books and things. T expect a nice, sensible wife some one like you, you know would think they only kept him out of the way just enough. I should go in and dig him out, like you do uncle! If I were his wife, I mean. I don't think he'd bi iaYage; only pretejid to be. Like uncle I po you know, I think uncle likes vou. "Do you?" I sniffed. "Do you?" "I do, really I Of course he does! You know it. You're laughing! I think Uncle Will has a nice way. He often reminds me of the professor. I adore big, strong men like that. It doesn't seem to have any effect. auntie. I think I d better try the other leg." "Amanda," I said, "do you want to kill your poor old aunt with laugh ing?" "Not yet," she stated, and flopped down in a chair beside me. "Help pull this thing off first. I'll hold the chair, and you pull. Nowl Only the thing; not my leg. Not my leg! 1 don't want that off 1 Ah-h-h I 1 wonder if they had thinner legs .n those daysl Or smaller feet!" She rubbed hers. "There's a difference in feet and ankles," I remarked, "even in pairs. I believe my right foot is a trifle smaller than the left. Perhaps yours is." It wasn't. In fact, it seemed to be larger. She made such a fuss when tried to squeeze the anklet over it that I refused to proceed. "Why ever should you hurt your self over a parcel of nonsense, child?" I argued. "Of course, you don't believe in it; and you say it has no effect." "Not on the left leg," she owned, "but it might on the other." "Why, any one would think you wanted it to bewitch you!" I cried. "And, if you do, there's no need for the wretched thing." "Of course I don't!" she declared indignantly. "Why, he's ever so much older; and, even if it did well, he wouldn't want it to, would he?" "No," I told her. "of course he wouldn't. A child like you! He's a confirmed old bachelor. You'd need all your three hundred and ninety two charms to get over him." "That's one more than he said," she commented. "Whew! You have given this foot something to take, Aunt Freda. Three hundred and ninety-one it was." "And me!" I observed. "I should be an attractive aunt-in-law, you know." i "There's that, of course," she owned; "and he's always nice to us, isn't he? He is nice. I must write and thank him. I shan't say it didn't work. He might feel hurt. I think I'll say that it only works a little, but I think that is because I thought rather a lot of him before. He won't misunderstand what I mean, will he?" "No," I told her, "and mind you don't! I don't wish for an unre quited love affair on my hands. You're trouble enough as it is!" "O, auntie!" she begged. "Please don't be so silly. I'm not a bit ro mantic. Not in a foolish way, I mean. Of course, there is something rather romantic about an old charm like this. Thousands of years oldl And eroodness knows how many poor women it has had an influence over. They must have naa legs ukc stilts. I'd never be able to bear it for long!" , , "You haven't trot to." I remancea; "and you'll be a little fool if you ever try again." "Yes," she owned. "I shall write and thank him nicely. Perhaps if I make a very good letter of it he'll think it's 393 four, really. Uncle would be a jolly relative to get, you know! We ought to add him in." "If you don't mind," John grunted when-I told him, "he'll get me. He has a way of looking at the kid and if she takes it into her mad little head that she likes him . .!" "My dear man," I scoffed, "she's about as likely to catch the man in the moon! He's the most con firmed bachelor in all bachelordom." "Umph!" said John. "I thought I was, but she's very like you at that age, Freda. Hanged if you don't look much the same when you grin. I never thought the saucy ttyle would wear so well, old girl." He clapped me on the shoulder. The great bear! "I suppose you want me to let you off for a billiard match or something," I commented. "Don't you? O, we're not so old yet, old manl" I was out to a bridge party that evening and didn't think any more about Amanda and her love link. She was in bed before we came home. I had hardly got to sleep before she came rapping at the bed room door. "Auntie," she cried, "the wind's dreadful! It shakes the place and makes it sound like burglars." "Put your head under the clothes, silly." I advised. . "But there's a mouse in the wains coating. Do come into my room. "Amanda," I grumbled, "I wish you'd been twins! Then one of you would have been company for the other." However, I went. I m afraid I spoil her rather. A childless woman. Ah! How glad I am that she keeps so foolishly young! I curled up in her bed till 1 got warm. Then I stretched out; and my foot hit upon something hard; something upon Amanda's leg. "Amanda! I cried. Youve got it on!" She clung to me. "That's what I'm really frightened about," she whispered shakily. "It seems to work better on the right leg; and it it won't come off!" I sat up in bed. "I'll soon have it off!" I vowed. She pulled me down. "I don't think I want it off," she confessed. How she clung to me! You see, her mother died when she was 5. I remember that I didn't like to ask John if I might have her; but he understood and proposed it. I like my husband for several rea sons, lhat is one ot them. Well, there was nothing to be said that I could see; nothing to do but to help her get rid of the foolish idea before it stuck close enough to make the operation too painful. I was miserable and didn't sleep all night. Quite early the next day I went and saw the professor. "Fred," I said, "I am afraid that harm may come out of your little jest. Amanda well, you aren't used to children; and 1 don t think any man not even the father of 50 girls-" "Fifty!" he cried. "He couldn't be." "If he was a Mormon he might," I thought. "But I don't believe he'd realize what fool girls are. Jbj; 1 child will put the thing en, and quite apart from rubbing the skin off her ankles it's liable to put ideas in her head." "Eh!" he jerked out. "Ideas that it can exercise a spell over her, you know. I see only one way out of it. You must let me tell her that, so far from having any wish to to 'draw' her, or whatever you call it you were so averse to doing it that" "Er," he interrupted, "not averse exactly. I you see, I'm unsuited by age, and perhaps by tempera ment. I might get over the temper amental difficulty possibly, but Anno Domini is a er an established fact, and" "I know; I know!" I agreed. "I'll put it like that. I'll be careful of her feelings, Fred. Til put it that way, owing to the differences in age and disposition, which you felt couldn't be got over " "I didn't say" "You don't know whether you did or didn't till I've finished telling you what I'm going to say you said. I shall say you felt that it wouldn't be fair to subject her to any possible occult influence. That's the right term, don't you think? Occult in fluence?" "Yes, but-" "Oh, do let me get a word in 1" I implored. "Talk about women talk ing! You men never give them a chance. Sometimes I tell John " "What do ycu want to tell Aman da?" he interrupted. "You won't let me come to it," I complained. "I want to tell her that you didn't send the real thing; only an imitation" "But" "I won't be interrupted," I flared out. I believe I stamped my foot. "Even Amanda wouldn't believe that there's any charm in a copy, would she?" . "I don't know if" "O, yes, you dol When she knows what it is she'll let me send for a man to cut it off and " "Cut it offl" he gasped. "It went on and off her left foot all right," I explained; "but she didn't think it had. much mtluence there. Then she got it on her right ankle it's grazed the skin and she can't get it off. At least well, she says she can't. She'd manage it, I expect, if she knew it was only an imitation" "Rut" he said. "no. dont stop me. I must say it. It's the original. I only polished it up to make you think it was a copy I As a matter of fact, I haven t made one. "You mean" I caught him by the sleeve you want it to to influence her? Fred? You want my little Amanda? d , "Want her!" he cried. uooa heavens! Of course I dol'" "01" I laughed and cried, xou irtintir man! You vou idiotic man! That great lump of brass isn't the love link for her. Utter ner a i u golden ring! For the wedding finger I" . . . He came round to see her m the afternoon. I gave them an hour and .. u-u Ttion T went in to them. He looked flushed and triumphant, and O. my little Amanda looKea love ly! She gripped my hand tightly and put her other nana in nib. "Auntie," she said, "do you know what that naughty love link has gone and done?" I Farmer Pays $10 for Store; Police Search for "Owner" Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 13. "Yes, there's one born every minute, as P. Barnum said. E Hober journeyed to Kansas City from his farm near Avondale, Mo. Hober was tired of tilling the soil. He knew of only one way by which he could earn his living in the big city. . "I will buy a poultry shop and live forever in the midst of my fel lows and the 'bright lights,' he said. As Hober stood in front of a certain poultry shop a negro approached. "Like that?" asked the negro. "Gee. wish it was mine," replied Hober. , "You, can have it for $80," offered the negro. The bargain was made. Hober paid the negro a $10 bill on the spot. The remaining $70 was to be paid at the same place the following morning.

Official statistics claim that only 8,458 Germans left their country for North and South America in 1920, which was sup posed to be the greatest emigrating year for Germany. Most of the Germans, that is, 1,429 emigrated to South America via Holland. Other countries, such as Po land and Czecho-Slovakia, sent part of their emigrants through German ports, but the figures seem amazing ly low when compared to prewar figures. Proud Hamburg reports that nine Polish and Czecho-Slovak citizens-took the steamer for the new world in Hamburg, while Bremen can boast of 1,966 foreign emigrants starting for the new country from its port.
