Washington, Nov. i-There ire
comparatively few men who need
work and cannot find it in Kansas,
Missouri and Nebraska, according to
the report! lent by the mayors of
the largest eitiei to the presidents
conference on unemployment. Col.
Arthur Woods, former police com
missioner of New York City, is chair
man of the committee on community,
civic and permanent measure, and
at the request of Secretary Hoover,
chairman of the conference, is in
correspondence with mayors of cities
of more than 25,000 inhabitants, to
learn the status of their unemploy
ment, and to inform them of some
emergency measures that are being
applied in certain municipalities. '
Some of these relief measures,
Colonel Woods stated today, are
"Spruce-up campaigns" as applied
to the home, the office and the mu
nicipalityadditional work on the
street-cleaning departments and the
hastened construction of necessary
public works.
Drive Cains Important.
Reports gathered by the committee,
from many cities, indicate ihat in
dividuals, organizations and mu
nicipal bodies are waking up to the
national emergency and that the un
employment drive is gaining impetus,
it was stated. Mayors m n all cities
state that they can care for their
own unemployed, hut cannot take
care of floaters from other cities. '
Nebraska is not suffering seriously
from unemployment, Governor Sam
uel R. McKelvie has informed the
conference. "There seems to be
work for almost everyone who cares
to work at a living wage," he says.
Some building is being done in the
state and a limited amount of public
improvements will be carried oit this
winter. , ,
This is Nebraska's plan to pro
vide winter employment for agricul
tural labor. Governor McKelvie re
ports as follows: "We have a very
large corn crop in this state and
through the various agencies we arc
directing as many as care for this
kind of work to places where they,
may find employment. , ... .
Lincoln Unemployed Few.
Lincoln, Neb., has one of the
smallest percentages of unemploy
ment of any city in the country..
The United States Department of
Labor statistics for September. 1
gave only 475 without work in the
city of 54,948 a percentage of only
C.9 unemployment. Frank Ci Zeh
rung, mayor of Lincoln, reports that
there is no urgent need for relief at
' present, and in his opinion, there, is
not likely to be. Many laborers may
have to submit to wage cuts, he said,
which will necessitate the propor
tionate cutting of luxuries in the
homes, but unless there is a change
in conditions, ' he 'does not foresee
any actual suffering. . t,
Lincoln has no slums, and no very
poor people and not many factory
workers, he asserts, and all the resi
dents are considered "rather prosper
ous." The Chamber of Commerce,
with Its membership of 2,000, has
held a meeting to discuss the gen
eral unemployment situation, and is
ready to take any steps that, may be
necessary if an emergency arises in
Lincoln. ,
Does Much Building.,,
An extensive building program,
both of public structures and private,
is one of the contributing auses to
Lincoln's high status of employment,
Mayor Zchrung reports. These build-

Vsll! Son "Richard
New York, Oct. 31.- "Daredevil Jack," of the films, otherwise known as
Jacques. Young, is suing Irma Young for divorce and the custody of their
4-year-old son, Richard. Mrs. Young is making a desperate fight for the
possession of her child. '
Young hazarded a lone expedition to Labrador recently for a moving
picture company. When he came back he made charges against his wite.
Two supposed detectives trailed her, according to Young's attorney, and
gathered evidence. Under oath, Mrs. Young denied the accusations and is
now filing a counter suit against her husband.
Mrs. Young is 24, and thin, small and nervous. There are permature
lines on her face that fade into a glowing, tender smile when she speaks
of her little son. She said: "They arc trying to take my baby away from
me. But I'll fight for him. He needs me; and, furthermore, I dont wish
him to leave me because he is at the age when he needs a mother's care.
My husband, 'Jack' Young, never wished to make. a permanent home for
us. We always had to live in furnished rooms and hotels."
ing projects include rSctiool building,
$750,000, largely for labor; $200,000
to be spent by the city on paving,
paving repairs, sewer extensions and
sewer repairs; work on the state cap
itol, to be commenced before the end
of the year, giving employment to
hundreds of men; $100,000 to be
spent by the county on road and
bridge work; demand by farmers for
cornhuskcrs to assist in one of the
largest corn crops in the history of
the state; ?30,000 spent by the trac
tion company on trad: .construction
and repairs; Lincoln factories are
running almost at normsl capacity;
the railroads are adding men to their
payrolls instead of laying them off.
and although the building permits are
not uo to normal, there is oerhaps
sufficient building to employ 100 !
men. On October 8 permits were
granted by the city engineer for the
construction of six residences in
Lincoln, their total cost being $35,
500. Mayor James C. Dahlman of Oma
ha has notified Secretary Hoover that
unemployment is not acute there, and
actual relief will not be necessary un
less the weether becomes severe.
Organization of efforts is being per
fected, r.nd the city and state bodies
will co-opente with federal authori
ties in carrying out the recommenda
tions of the president's conference.
British Premier
Unable to Attend
Arms Conference
Lloyd George Cancels Passage
To America Owing to Crave
Crisis in Irish Peace -Negotations.
London, Nev, 2. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Premier Lloyd George
has definitely canceled his nassaae
on the steamer Aquitauia, on which
he was to have proceeded to the
United States November S to attend
the Washington conference. This
tact became officially known here to
night for the first time.
It had been known, however, for
some days that the critical stage the
Irish negotiations had reached
probably would prevent Mr. Lloyd
George from sailing Saturday.
Cancellation by the premier of his
passage is considered a favorable,
rather than an unfavorable, sign of
the progress of the Irish negotia
tions. The interpretation placed on
it is that Mr. Lloyd George hopes
that a few days' delay will enable
him to see a settlement reached, or
at least the basis of an agreement
In this connection importance is at
tached to the fact that Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, is coming
Saturday.
There was a reason to believe to
day that a plan of settlement of the
Irish question has been drafted and
is being discussed in detail by the
committee representing the govern
ment and the Irish delegations.
Aside from the recent formal
meetings of the committee and of
the conference as a whole, there have
been more intimate explorations of
the situation at private meetings.
Negotiations relative to peace in
Ireland have progressed to a point
which makes necessary the presence
in London of Sir James Craig, the
premier of Ulster, it was declared
here this morning. Political corre
spondents of London newspapers to
day centered their attention upon the
Ulster question and speculated
whether Sir James would soon join
in the conversations going forward
here.
Attorney General Rules
On Prescription Beer
Lincoln, Nov. 2. (Special.) The
order of federal authorities to release
beer for prescriptions will effect no
cures in Nebraska, according to At

"Absolutely nothing doing in the
prescription line," Davis rules. "Ne

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Almost everyone know that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the onty way to get this mixture was
to make it st home, which is musty
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ak at anv
drug store for "Wyeih's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. You will get
a large bottle ol this oui-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gredients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger. 1

Gentlemen :
In reference to your letter of February 26th, I am glad to say that
we recommend the use of Wolf's Head No. 8 Oil in our aviation engines,
and that we use this oil investing all our product. These engines are
operated under very severe temperatures and pressures, and there arc
very few lubricating oils, which are satisfactory under these conditions. . ' .!
Our engines in the Pulitzer Trophy Race were lubricated with Wolf 's , ; ;
