Spy System of
Germany Again
At Work in U.S.
Such Ii Declaration in Omaha
Of Congremman Currit,
leading Move to Pro
tect U. S. Dye Industry.
Germany' jy system, which
worked o effectively in America
prior to the war, W at work again
in the United States with practically
ai much efficiency ai ever, accord
ing to Congressman Gilbert A. C'ur
tic, Midland, Mich., who in on a
fpeaking tour of the country in the
interests oi the American Chemical
foundation, an organization that ,
seeks to protect the American money j
invested in the dye industry.
"Ikfore the war Germany had I
practically a world monopoly on dye- J
stuffs. It controlled 90 per cent 1
ci the dye output and but tor the J
war it wouia nave, in nine, com
puted her monopoly and controlled
the world.
Protected from Germans.
"The world war brought other na
tions who had been depending upon
Germany for dyes to manufacturing
their own. Now the United States
and China are the only countries
where there is an open market for
German dyes. England. France and
Switzerland brought their dye indus
tries up to such high standards that
they can operate independent of Ger
many and their products are protect
ed by legislation against underselling
ty the German manufacturers.
"At the outbreak of the war we
found in the United States that Ger
many had established agents who
controlled the dye industry. It was
also discovered that the head of the
dye industry was also the head of
the German secret service and that
it t . I
;:h Dusmrss activities aim mrucuits
which might act against Germany,
prior to our entering the war, were
checked by these men.
Would Protect Industry.
"The Fordney bill would protect
the dye industry in America. For
70 real's Germany has controlled this
field. In the few years America has
been , producing" dyes wonderful
progress has been made. Germany's
experience is of great aid to her in
preventing waste and the knowledge
of using by-products. . American
manufacturers must learn to prevent
wastage and only through experience
can it be done. Protective legisla
tion would protect American inter
ests and help nourish an industry
that would mean millions of dollars
each year. There are now 212 pro
ducers making 260 dyes.
Can Undersell U. S. '
"Germany can now produce dye
and undersell the American products
because of the cheapness of labor and
ingredients used fn the dye industry.
"It has been proven that the three
men, H. A. Metz, a former congress
man, and Kuttroff & Pickhardt, who
are making the loudest protests
against that portion of the Fordney
bill that deals with the dye industry,
were formerly identified with two of
the biggest dye producers in Ger
many and represented them in
America. ; . -." -" ... ,.
'"Germany has her. mind set on su
premacy in the ' dye field as well as
the toy field. She hopes to regain
world supremacy in these lines.
Americans who have entered these
fields should ' be protected," Mr.
Currie declared. .
Mr. Currie I spoke at a public af
fairs luncheon at the Chamber oi
Commerce Friday noon. ;
In Congress During War.
Mr. Currie served in congress dur
ing the war, is former speaVer of the
house in Michigan and represented
his district in the state legislature.
Mr., Currie left Saturday , for
Hastings where lie will deliver an
address Mondays He will then go
to Denver where he will address .the
annual convention of detail druggists
in convention there next week. .
Auto Bandits Escape
n if .
rosse or motorists
Police cars and several others
joined in a chase after three automo
bile bandits Saturday night. The
Aandits, in a stolen touring car, sped
'cast on Douglas street and ran the
machine into a cinder pile at Ninth
and Dodge streets. They jumped
out of the moving machine.
Police, when they arrived on the
scene, found L. B. Hutchinson, 121
Turner boulevard, lying in the street
He said he received his injuries
when the machine struck him as he
was crosing the street.
He was arrested and held for in
vestigation. Police said , he might
have been one of those in the car and
received his injuries when he jumped
from the car.

F'riustance: '
A pastor, tired of suffering from
the continued heat spell, gathered
his flock together and for three
hours prayed earnestly for rain.
Evidently his prayers were an
swered, for the rain came and in
torrents.
However, an electrical storm pre
ceded it and a bolt ( of lightning,
striking a manufacturing plant one
square away from the church, started
a $150,000 conflagration.

If there be any truth in the theory
of reincarnation, Lizzie Parsons, the
American girl portrayed by Elsie
Ferguson in "Footlights," at the Ri
alto theater this week, must have
been a Russian princess, in a pre
vious existence. As a child she was
attracted to Russian books and at
night when her family had retired,
she would act out the roles of many
Russian heroines. In later years,
carrying out her determination to
go on the stage, she gave interpre
tations of these parts, in a cheap
vaudeville house. Her talent was rec
ognized by a theatrical manager, who
exploits her as' a Russian actress of
European fame.
So natural was the transformation
of the conventional New England
girl to that of a worldly Russian
actress that Lizzie succeeded in de
ceiving those of her supposed na
tionality. Many interesting develop
ments ensue. , Reginald Denny is the
leading man.
Claire Whitney Stars.
"Fine Feathers," starring Claire
Whitney and Eugene Pallette at the
Moon theater this week, s the' story
of Bob Reynolds, a young construc
tion engineer, and his wife, Jane,
who begins to see that love is hard
ly enough, and that she deserves jew
els and expensive clothes other wives
have. To satisfy her, the husband is
plunged into a maelstrom of dis
honesty and is finally ruined.
Beautiful Betty.
Betty Compson is featured in "At
the End of the World," at the
Strand theater this week. .
The story deals with the daughter
of a gambling resort keeper in
Shanghai, China, who has . been
taught to regard men as beasts and
to hold fhem at arm's length. She
does so until the man she loves
leaves her without leaving a word
and in despair mingled with disgust,
she contracts an unhappy marriage.
Then comes a divorce and the scene
shifts to a lighthouse on a lonely
island where scenes of tremendous
dramatic interest transpire. Of course
the ending is happy for all con
cerned. "The Old Nest"
Continued performances of "The
Old Nest" at the Sun theater yes
terday drew capacity houses. v
The back ground upon which thi3
drama unfolds is the simple old
fashioned home of a typical Ameri
can familv. The incidents that
transpire in this atmosphere; the
rearing of the brood from babyhood
to full growth, the flight from the
old nest, and the sudden happy
home-coming of the flock are so
unerringly true to life that one is
constantly assailed by the shock of
memories long hidden beneath the
dust of years.

Mexican Slain
At Celebration
Of Independence
'Queen of Mexico City' Smiles
On Wt of Party Who
Is Killed by Jealous
Swain.
Friday was one of two days when
Mexicans celebrate the independence
of Mexico.
"Little Mexico"' in Council Bluffs
joined in the celebration.
Jose Sanchez, 1615 Fifteenth ave
nue, Council Bluffs, is dead as a re
sult of the celebration which was
held at his home, and police are
seeking the man who slew him-.
Jose invited "Little Mexico," en
masse, to sup and dance with him in
honor of the occasion. With the
Mexicans came Nina Pasquele, 22,
snd pretty, known as the "Queen of
Mexico City."
Nina smiled on her host and
showered him with pretty graces in
the course of the evening.
One of the euests. whose name
! police have not yet learned, resented
this, drew a long stuietto ana as
sailed Jose. Then bedlam broke
loose, other residents in the neigh
borhood notified police.
Officers reached the little stucco
bungalow home of Sanchez at 4:13
a m., to find him lying unconscious
on the front porch with a gaping
wound four inches deep extending
from his left shoulder to his hip, be
sides numerous other slashes.
They hastened him ' to Edmund
son hospital where he died at 6 a. m.
without being able to tell police the
name of his slayer.
When police joined the search for
his assailant, they .found the' win
dows in Sanchez' home all broken
out, and the furniture scattered
along the street.
A broom was needed to sweep the
revolver shells from the porch
floor. "-
Sanchez' home is next door to the
pool hall where five men were slain
in an attempted holdup a year ago.
The ether day when Mexicans
celebrate the independence of Mex
ico is September 28.

All our skill, facilities, and lifelong knowledge of
the finest tobaccos are concentrated on this one
cigarette CAMEL.
Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost qual
ity. Nothing is too good for Camels. They are as
good as it's possible to make a cigarette.
Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the
same high, exclusive standard. You can always
depend on the same mellow-mild refreshing smooth
ness the taste and rich flavor of choicest tobaccos
and entire freedom f rom cigaretty aftertaste.
gsmsssjniieBSMgaBasssss, nasBVsaaasMas tkaasa aeaasBasaBaaaaaawMssssssi MMSMsBasanaMaj.t, '
And remember this! Camels come in one size
package only 20 cigarettes just the right size to
make the greatest saving in production and packing.
This saving goes straight into Camel Quality. That's
tone reason why you can get Camel Quality at so
moderate a price. V
Here's another. We put no useless frills on the
Camel package. No "extra wrappers!" Nothing
just for show! r
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And their added cost
must go onto the price or come out of the quality.
One thing and one only is responsible for
Camels great and growing popularity
That is CAMEL QUALITY.

Holding a Husband
AsUle Garrison's New Phase tf
R..l.tio. ef Wife"
The Reason Dicky Sadly Blamed
Himself.
At sight of my hunband ru.liiru
as if fremiti, into the mom 1 U
only a curiotit uumbntt, an in
finite weariness, when by all ordi
nary canons I should have experi
enced a wild surge of thankful relief
at his arrival to share the burden
of our boy's disappearance.
But I had longed for him so in
tensely during those terrible lir:
hours and had waited so hopclely
for him that the emotion combined
with the consuming terror which
was obkttaiiig my every minute had
sapped my power to feel. My col
lapc at the coming of the darkness
with my baby still missing had tc it
me in the condition of a person
severely beaten, whose nerve end
are becoming blunted to the pain.
.-What a Punishment l-
Subconsciously, I knew that there
would be no more collapses, that I
would go on and on like an animal
in a treadmill until my baby was
found or I knew for a certainty that
he had ceased to live. And I also
knew that if the latter news came
there would be no strength left for
me to take up life again.
So it was that, with the detach
ment of a stranger, I :aw Dicky's
white set face quiver into anguish as
he came up to me, threw his arms
around me and strained me close in
an embrace that held in it less of
protection than it did of positive,
clinging appeal.
"Oh, my God! Madge! Don't tell
me he isn't found yet!'' I heard him
gasp.
"But he isn't," I returned, me
chanically. He unlocked his arms from around
me, seizing my shoulder in a sav
age grasp.
"But aren't you doing anything?
Tsn't there any one hunting for him'
When did he go, and where from?
Tell me, tell me? Where's that
Draper devil? Did she take him?"
I thought Dicky must be going
out of his mind, but I felt no sor
row or pity, nothing but '.he neces
sity of answering his questions and
the' dull urge of going on' and on
in my search for my baby.
"It's no use," I said dully.
"Grace Draper didn't .take him. She

was w:ih me when he went away.
She's out now calling for him for
me. Nut he won't wuevrr You'll
see. lie can't. Everybody's been
hunting for him -every man in the
m ighhorhoml. I stayed out cull
ing him until I fell over and they
nude me rome in,"
I felt hint tatch his breath, draw
luck and loo'; at me sharply. 1 hen
1 was caught again to his breast ,
and heard him murmur in broken,
remorseful accents:
"My poor girl, all alone with this.
And to think 1 wasn't here I If I
had been hete I could have kept
him, Oh, my God, what a puniii-1
mrnt!" !
He groped his way to the big
armchair and sank down into it,'
carrying me with him, And then,
for a little, there was no sound save ;
tearless, shuddering intakes of the,
breath, more terrible than sobs,.'
which seemea to tear lus body in
two.
Edith Fairfax Explains.
His anguish left me cold. I do
not believe that at this moment his
very death would have affected me.
I stirred restlessly in his arms
looked Past him casualty to the door
and saw thaf the remorse which was
swaying hint was shared by some
one else.
For, standing in the doorway
loading to the nail, was Luith Fair
fax, with eyes full of remorseful
anguish burning in her pallid face.
She was flattened against the door,
with her hands spread out against it,
as if she were trying Jo escape ob-i
servation, but as her eyes caught
mine she came forward swiftly,
knelt by me on the side farthest
away from Dicky and turned an im
ploring face up to me, I saw with
dull amazement that she seemed to
shrink frofli Dicky's proximity.
"Madge," she said solemnly, "I've
been very thoughtless and unfair
these last few days, but I'll I'll
atone; you II see. Ill not rest until
I find your baby. And you must
let Leila and Mother Durkee and
Aunt Dora take care of you. They'll
be here any minute now. They had
to wait a few minutes before start
ing, .white Dicky didn't stop the car
tor a sccoikI alter the hotel man

sagejust whirled around and came
on flying. I'll I'll keep out of your
way, tor I know you won t want to
see me, but I'll be hunting every
minute for that blessed baby." .
She rose, went back into the hall;
and I felt Dicky shrink away from
tier as she passed. I guoesed that,
N. C
while no doubt the feeling would
wear iy if Junior were found, yet
just now Dicky hated her, and she
knrw it, fur 'her share in hi sli
mier from home upon this day. Hut
Dii key's feeling toward her, or htt
feeling toward Dicky, meant noth
ing to me, I only feared that Dicky
might think it necessary to voice
his remorse to me also,
Before either of us could speale,
however, there was a hutle in the
hall, and little Mrs. Durkee, with
tear-bedewed eyes, rushed up In me.
Mechanically, I arose to greet her,
curiously glad to be away front
Dicky's clinging arms, as strangely
grateful for her embrace instead.
Over her head 1 saw the tiny figure
of Aunt Dora J'aige. with the stal
wart figure of Dr. Jim beside her,
while Alfred and Leila were rli.se
behind them the deep, sympathetic
grief they all felt mirrored on their
faces.
And I knew but could feel no
emotion at the knowledge that as
far as human friendly aid could Ri
these dear and tried friends wouu'
er.haust themselves in our service.
The value of the diamond produc-,
lion in the I'nion of South Africa
last year constituted a record for the
industry.
