"Y" Has Big Plans for
Members During the
Spring Holiday Week
The first school week in April is
to be vacation week for boys in the
Omaha schools. During this time
springlike weather will be here and
it will be a time when every "Y"
boy will be anxious to get out into
the woods for hikes, woodcraft and
other outdoor sports.
It has always been the policy of
the "Y" boys division to have some
thing at the building every day for
every member during these vaca
tions. .
This vacation there will be many
interesting features for the "Y"
members by the way of all day
hikes, Bird club expeditions, factory
trips, parties, game tourneys and
many other features.
Advantage of the coming spring
days will be used for two all-day
hikes and one Bird club trip in the
early morning to the- Bird reserve
in Fontenelle forest.
Factory trips will' be made to
places that were not open during
the Christmas vacation program.
There will be many good times for
all members every day. -
BoysoftheY.M.C.A. '
Members Should Know
k Among the younger high school
boys who have shown talents as de
veloping leaders Donald Shoup has
earned a very popular place among
the activities at high school and in
the "Y."
In the gymnasium classes Don has
the office of leader. He has always
been on the'job helping the members
of his squad through their apparatus
work and is very highly respected by
the physical directors and the boys
of the class.
Last summer Don attended the
younger boys period at Camp Shel
don where he was a camper in the
Cheyenne Cottage which won many
of the highest honors of camp.
He attends and is a member of the
First Christian church, Sunday
school and Scout troop. He is a
willing worker among the activities
of these organizations. He is 14
year's old, a sophomore in Central
High school and a member of the
Cadet regiment.,
Y.M.G.A. Bible Clubs
Plan Big Banquets .
for Closing Season
The boys' Bible study clubs at the
"Y" will soon close after a most suc
cessful year's work with 750 differ
ent boys enrolled in the 43 different
clubs and classes conducted. April
15 will see the close of all the clubs
'and banquets will feature the end of
the year with each one of them.
The biggest closing banquet will
be the Central Junior and Senior
Ht-Y, which will hold a joint clos
ing meeting on Friday evening,
April 14, with Dwight N. Lewis of
' Des Moines as speaker. South and
Technical Hi-Y clubs will also hold
a' joint closing meeting, although
the speaker has not yet been an
nounced for this meeting.
The Grade club will hold its last
meeting on Saturday noon, April 15,
with special movies, an orchestra
and a special dinner. There are 160
boys in this group of grade lads and
the teachers of the 14 classes are al
most entirely made up of high school
boys, juniors and seniors.
Examinations will be given In
each course some time before the
last meeting and boys passing the
examination will all receive diplo
mas from the international Y. M. C.
A. The local association has held
second place in its Bible study work
among all the Y. M. C. A.'s in North
America for several years. V
"Y" Has Many New Members.

To Maintain Order.
Mulcahy'a houe adJrcs was not

or even the moderately well-lo-do
Wive.
Let us see what it means to be
minister of defenne of the Dail
Eireann. The Dail Etreann Is the
congress of the lrii.li republic. It
was proscribed from holding public
meetings, its member were in hid
ing when the British reversed their
policy of suppression of the rebellion
by force and recoaniied the delegates
sent by the dail for the negotiations
which culminated in the treaty
establishing the free state.
This was to be submitted to the
British parliament and to the dail for
ratification. The dail ratified the
treaty by seven votes after violent
debate.
De Vatcra held the decision was
net final. So he started his cam
paign for the repudiation of the dail't
action. The British troops began
their evacuation and the different
government departments prepared to
turn over all authority to the pro
visional government under Michael
Collins.
Who was to maintain order? The
Irish Republican army. The British
were turning over to the I. R. A.
arms and ammunition; recognizing
its military succession.
Belief in "Dick" Mulcahy.
De V'alera's men say 75 per cent
of the I. R. A. are irreconcilably for
a republic, and the Collins men (ay
75 per cent are for the free state.
The provisional government has no
minister of defense: it has no army.
Officially the I. R. A. might not
obe " an order from De Valera, who
wa no longer president of the dail.
Griffith-was in his place. Might it
obey an order from Collins? if not,
might it obey one from Griffith?
As minister of defense of the dail,
Mulcahy has his office at room 56
in the hotel, but he w to be found
during active business hours at the"
headquarters of the provisional gov
ernment of the free state in the city
hall. As a member of the dail he
voted for the treaty, and his speech in
its favor was said to have been the
influence more than that of any other
man which carried the day because
the army believed in him. That is
his great asset; the army believes in
"Dick" Mulcahy.
The night when I say him the
news was bad. There had been
grumbling in Britain about turning
over imperial arms and munitions to
an uncertain "republican" armyv
shooting and bombing again in Bel
fast; Ulster "specials" were kidnap
ing I. R. A.'s and I. R. A.'s were
kidnaping "specials." As a result
the evacuation by bntish troops naa
just been stopped.
But little Richard Mulcahv. was
not disturbed by all this. He had
an office as agent for some firm or
other within a few hundred yards
of Dublin Castle from which he
directed operations against its pow
er. If anyone could pass as a civil
ian who appeared utterly disasso
ciated from anything military or
belligerent, it is Richard Mulcahy.
Yet a reckless volunteer ready to
sell his life for an enemy's life
would look into Mulcahy's soft
brown eyes and swear by him as
a leader to the death. He is a
natural strategist of the kind that
Sine. Fein needed.
I had not come for an 'inter
view" with him at this time. An
interview with any real stuff in it
such as is at his . command would
have been as difficult to secure as
one from Lord Curzon.
"If you begin answering the
things said about you, you will have
to answer them all. Why begin,
then?" said Mulcahy.
If Richard Mulcahy had been
born in America instead of Water
ford, Ireland. 'where rebellion against
England is bred hot in the blood,
he would have worked his way
through college, I should say, and
now have a thriving practice, prob
ably as a surgeon. As it was, he
entered the postal service, and man

Plan Spring Program
In a few weeks the Bible class
season will be over, final meetings
will have been held, examinations
and regular gatherings will be sus
pended for all groups except the
Junior Employed B boys, who have
decided to carry on their club activi
ties until the middle of May.
Among the coming events they are
looking forward to is the April
fool's party, Saturday night, April 1.
in the boys' division of the "Y."
Plans are already being put into op
eration to make this the very finest
of all parties ever given for the jun
iors of the night class.
Other coming events are: Bjg "J"
feed, Pals night party, special speak
ers, movies, initiations, and' ending
the season with a trip out into the
woods for a supper and a big camp
fire to1 close the season's activities.
This club has more than doubled
its membership during the winter
and has-had many features aside
from the regular Bible study, gymna
sium and swimming classes. .

Collins-DeValera Row.
Young Irishmen say that the busi
ness of a free Ireland will be to up
set the preconceived notions of out
siders about Ireland.
The other night I sat up late with
a group of young men in the thick
of the political ferment. I mentioned
to then; the timeworn precept that
the Irish could rule other people,
but not themselves, and' referred to
the Collimi-De Valera row, which
critics cited in proof of the truth of
the precept.
"We use our wits in ruling others,
not force," sa;d one, "and now you

many a dull month. In the midst of
it the tall boy with the black head,
knocked ree of his hat, went down
like a reed, for every hand was
reaching for him hungrily.
For one awful moment Miss Es
ther Ransome was paralyzed with
terror, her hand at her mouth and
all the color gone from her pretty
cheeks. Her dilated eyes took in
the sprawling sentences on the
board. And then that something in
side her which made her the sweet,
courageous woman that she was rose
up and cleared her brain with magic.
She darted through the surging
fringes of the melee and grabbed the
Crawford boy by the shoulder with
no gentle hand.
The dilated eyes devoured Babe's
prideful effort.
They shone and softened wonder
fully for, a second, then hardened
with the light of battle.
In another moment she was in
among the fighters, tearing at heads,
arms, shoulders like a veritable fury.
"Stopl" she screamed wildly.
"Stop! Stop this! Let me through!"
They were pretty wild, but they
heard that shrill keening and reluc
tantly obeyed. They backed lum
beringly out, leaving a cleared space
in the lee of the platform.
Alas for Lothario!
Limp, battered, one eye dreamily
closing, the black hair like a witch's
mop, Babe Cutler reposed against
the raised edge of the dais.
Down on her knees went the
schoolma'am.
Straight to her breast she gath
ered the fallen head, while the gray
eyes shot fire at the abashed crowd
of adoring punchers who were but
tilting in her honor. '
"Fine bunchl" she cried bitterly,
to"a hundred to one fight I How many
does it take to whip one manr Ana
all before you know what it's aboutl"
"Great Scott!" whispered Sid,
open-mouthed, "what's it about? Ain't
that enough?" he waved a bleeding
hand at the blackboard Babe had
done some damage at least "Miss
Putty Face! Putty Face! Holy
smoke!"
"'Putty Face' nothing!"
Miss . Ransome waved the soiled
and crumpled missive.
"Read that! 'Pretty Face' get

ing into cowboy lingo "and trip

round face of Henry's mother, shin
ing red like a moon in a fog "that

speakable boy another day, I shall

"Resign now," came a one-sided
mumble from the depths where
Babe's face was blissfully hidden.
"Resign now, sweetheart!"
"Now!" cried Miss Ransome like
a parrot "I resign nowl In favor
of Mr. Mr. Cutler."

that it could not.

Some experts in political tactics
ay that when Michael Collins and
his fellow signatories to the treaty
establishing the Irih Free State re
turned home they should have taken
the offensive by saying:
"We have won a great victory.
The British army i going alter
many centuries. Our own army is
to take its place. We have our own
stamps, our own coinage, and control
our own finances. Ireland is free.
Michael Collins is the fair-haired boy
who will lead Ireland to a new era.
Trust him." '
An Honest Irishman.
"But Michael Collins is an honest
Irishman," as a De Valera man said.
"He knew that the truth in his heart
would not let the words come to
his lips. Ireland could not be free
if she had to take an oath to a
British king. Ireland will be free
only when she is an independent na
tionand that's what Alichacl Col
lins is thinking himself."
Michael said that he took the best
he could get. It was the treaty or
war.
But "Dev" is a figntcr a thin,
restless, ascetic professional fighter.
He instantly took the offensive; he
hailed Michael Collins to court as
a culprit who had signed away the
rights of the Irish republic.
It w-as a cryisounding deep into
the Irish nature. It pictured Collins
as a British partisan and De Valera,
in apostolic fervor, as an Irish par
tisan. - Collins wanted an immedi
ate election; De Valera wanted to
postpone it, as his following was
increasing.
The growing power of De Valera
was threatening Collins' position.
Partisanship was becoming so bitter
that it threatened to divide the na
tion. Yet it was said that Collins
and De Valera had occasional per
sonal interviews, in which they
called each other "Mike" and
"Dev."
De Valera was president of the
Ard Fheis the political machinery
of Sinn Fein, which carried on the
revolution. The Ard Fhcis was
called in convention in Dublin.
Would De Valera or Collins carry
the Ard Fheis?
There was a tempest of politics
but what was Ireland of the cottages
and the markets thinking? I traveled
about the country to ascertain their
views. There were Mr. and Mrs.
Reilly, white-haired and active at 70,
who live in a picture post card
thatched cottage in Lounty Wick
low. Mr. Reilly reads his newspaper
and drops down to the village in the
evening, occasionally,' to learn from
Hhe young fellows what is going on
in the wold.
"Prices for butter and eggs are
going down," said Mr. Reilly. "The
elections? It's not voting time yet.
We must have order." A neighbor
ing farmer, who was a younger man
and had a better house, took the
same view.
It did not sound like the talk of
a disorderly, but of a conservative
people.
So Collins and De Valera were
hearing from the country. A warn
ing out of Ireland's part was being

Why Do Men Build Bookshelves
in Their Homes?
A fair question, isn't it? Why does a man when lie
builds his own home carefully provide space for book
shelves in his living room, in his library or den in the
same manner as he builds pantry shelves, closet shelves
or shelves in his medicine cabinet? The answer is a
simple one, the obvious one. To put books in, of
course, in the same manner as pantry shelves are to
put food on, closet shelves to put clothes on and shelves
of the medicine cabinet are to put medicine in.
But there's more of an answer to the question. A
man puts bookshelves in his home or buys bookcases
because he knows that either are as necessary in his
home as pantry shelves or closet shelves. He knows
that books are as vital a necessity to every man and his
home as his food and his clothes and medicine.
The Corner Stone of Every Home Library
In the same manner as a man chooses his food
for the good it is going to do his body, and his clothes
for their serviceability, he chooses the books to put in
these shelves for their ability to feed and strengthen
the mind; books that clothe the man and his family
with knowledge and give protection against ignorance.
He probably has not unlimited means, so he must
choose with utmost care to give his family such books
as wilLbe of the most value day in and day out. He is
not interested in having'books that simply look nice on
the shelves. He insists that the books he selects must
represent a worth while investment in knowledge,
books from which he and his family can obtain a
definite, material and lasting benefit.
He selects and purchases first the Encyclopaedia
Britannica and builds his library around this great:
work. Why?
Because it furnishes him with authoritative informa-;
tion on every conceivable subject written by the great
est authorities the world affords. . J
Because it gives to every woman information which 1
she needs to keep posted on the events of this intensely :
interesting world. . - v
Because it furnishes the son and daughter of the
family the information to satisfy the children's expand
ing minds and supplements their school studies.
Because the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been for,
generation after generation, since 1768, the standard
encyclopaedia of the world. . - . - .
The Luxury of India Paper ,
s He chooses the Encyclopaedia Britannica because
it is well made from the physical standpoint. It is
printed on the genuine India paper which makes the
Britannica far more usable than an encyclopaedia
ever was before. The beautiful and serviceable bind
ings make it a book that he is proud to have in his '"
library. '

New System of
Fat Reduction
Here's a new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugaboo
Obesity. The saying that "there is noth
ing new under the sun" does not now
apply to fat people any more. Here is
something new for them a new sensation,
a new pleasure, a new and graceful figure,
easily found by anyone who is passing
beyond the limits 'of allmness. Everyone
has heard of the Mirmolt Prescription:
that harmless combination of fat-defying
elements perfected by one of the foremo.t
physicians. Now, from the same high au
thority, there comes another idea the
idea of condensing these same, pure, harm
less Ingredients into a pleasant little tab
let. Taken after eating and at bedtime,
they help the stomach to dispose of all
the fatty foods, converting them into com
pact, solid flesh, muscle and energy, with
out dieting or exercise. Mermola Pre
scription Tablets regulate the entire system
do for you what bodily exertion and aelf
denial can not do, and the fat. once rout
ed, is gone for good. You can prove all
thia at a trifling cost. Marmola Prescrip
tion Tablets are sold by alt druggists or
sent postpaid by the Marmola Company.
