Method of Teaching
German at the High
School is to Change
Suggestions of DR.. Fossler of the
University of Nebraska to
Be Followed.

The movement for the revision OF the
methods of teaching German in the high
school has reached a point where II has
been decided to add another teacher to the
German staff this fall.
The new teacher will replace one of the
present staff Of seven, who will be trans
ferred TO some other department.
modification Of the present method
has also been determined. Instead
Of using either the grammar or converse
tional method, a combination of these two
win prevail, with the stress placed on the
grammar course.
The school board wants a German trained
English teacher-an American of German
parentage-to take up the work, and be-
fore another school year opens, such an
instructor will have been employed.
A revision OF the methods Of teachins
German were decided upon after the
change was urged by DIR. e. Holovtchiner
a member OF the board. DR.. Holovtchiner
contended that the present system was not
broad enough and that the use of the
conversational method would tend to i'm
prove tho course.
DR.. Laurence Fossler. head of the de-
partment of German of the University OF
Nebraska. was called into conference with
members Of the board and Superintendent
Davidson last Saturday. DR.. Fossler sug.
gested a combination OF the two methods
and his advice is being needed by the
school authorities.

Y.W.C.A.Building Served

By Mrs. Harriet A. Dahlman.

The Young women's Christian as

served double purpose and been an
OBJECT le son 10 every one. Its
beauty is gradually Transforming
one Of the most unsightly localities
in the heart of the city.
The beautiful architecture of this
building seemed almost grotesque at
first, placed amid dilspidated, dirty
surroundings, but already the future
neighbornoUd is being improved.
Possibly they are unconsciously liv-
ing up to this ideal.
There is no question Of the use

hundreds. This work is not merely
for the benefit Of a few for pass

Council Combine
Follows Long Laid
Scheme of Action
Election of Berka is but the Arrange
ment Made Two Years Ago
by Members.

your story about council organization
is all right so far as II goes, only II doesn't
go far enough" said a city hall rounder
leaning up against the hand-raN at the en-
trance steps. ITO understand why the
democrats are willing to have a republican
elected president of the council when they
could. just as well keep the place for them
selves. you have to go back to the original
organization. Don't you remember how
folks were kept guessing two years ago
when the new council came in, divided six
and six, as to whether II would be repub-
lican or democratic. and how a pretended
compromise was reached by which the
presidency was to alternate each year
from one party to another? That was the
result of one of the neatest jobs ever
pulled off. 1t was done by forming three
separate combines, the first of which is the
key to the others, consisting of three re-
publican councilmen, Burmester, Berka
and Hummel, and the second, consisting
of three democratic councilmen. Sheldon
Brucl1er and Johnson. Each OF these two
groups agreed to keep solid on all vital
questions and also to work together.
Burmester, Berka and Hummel then
got the other three republicans
Davis, Schroeder and Kugel-to enter
compact with them to vote as a
unit on everything for which four of them
should vote. You see how this, left
Burmester, Berka and Hummel with the
whip-hand because they could work with
the three democrats or with the other
three republicans, and control ono way
or the other. The result was that Bur
mester was made president the first year
with the distinct agreement that Brucker
should succeed him the second year, and
Berka the third. All talk about the
presidency Of the council being in doubt
at any time since the combine made its
original slate is pure poppycock, Just as
all talk about breaking the combination.
There are too many things at stake, and
too many interests involved, to let this
combination fall to pieces at this stage
of the game. 1t has been running things
without hitch for two years, and 1t will
run things as long as the present council
continues"

tiles Tuesday morning for help, and on her
own request was sent to the Douglas county

After living in hopes that her husband,
who had departed for parts unknown and
taken with him another woman would re-
turn and provide for her wants, Mrs, Miller
has at last bowed to the inevitable. Her
funds ran out and try as she did to provide
for herself, she was unable to meet the
exacting requirements of the landlord and
the grocer.
Between sobs she repeated the story Of
how her husband had become infatuated
with other women. had neglected her and
refused to provide for her, and at last,
when his duplicity was discovered, he had
quit Omaha for more congenial climes.

Three schools in the city will furnish the
flowers which will be used in decorating the
cruiser, which will be launched and fired
upon when It has reached midstream. AT
present II is not known what schools will
furnish the flowers as this matter has been
left in the hands OF the women. Invitations
were sent out to every city and state Of

monies and some have signified their in
tentions Of being present.
The naval veterans consist Of every

launched exactly the Same as a modern
battleship.

RED WING RUNS WEDNESDAY,
Will Try for Record Between Omaha
and Kansas City.
TO ESTABLISH A BEE LINE
n. w. Craig VIII he at the wheel
Route Lies Along This side of
the River All the way
Through.

In an effort to establish a record for
motorists between Omaha and Kansas City
over the route Of the proposed Bee" line
the famous Red Wing EMF car, with
r. w. Craig at the wheel will shoot away
from the Bee building promptly at I o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Craig win carry a message from the
editor Of The Bee to the editor of the Kan
sas City star, extending congratulations
over the fact that at last road has been
found which will answer the demands Of
tourists between the two metropolses of
the middle west and form the connecting
link between the two divisions OF the
ocean to ocean" highway.
The route to be covered by Mr.. Craig in
RED Wing runs directly south from
Omaha on the Nebraska side of the
river. The first lap Of the 25O-mile dash
will be to Milford, Neb.. over macadamized
roads. Thence the route will pass through
Louisville, Nebraska City and Falls City
Neb.; Atchison and Leavenworth, Kan.
The last lap of the run will be on the
famous brick road over the Sante Fe Trail
from Lesvenworth to Kansas City.
Having been over portions Of the route
in the past Mr.. Craig is confident that the
run can be made under favorable conditions
in ten hours. Many stretches of straight
and improved roads abound to overcome
the difficulties occasioned by the hills
along the river. While the rains of the
last three days will make the going some
what slow at times, 1t is believed that a
mark can be hung up which will prove in
teresting competition for the reliability rur
to be given later in the season under the
auspices of The Bee.
When the word is given for Red Wing
to start its dash through Nebraska and
Kansas, the time of the start will be i'm
mediately flashed to the offices Of the star
In Kansas City. At different points along
the route word will be received as TO the
progress of the record-maker. At the fin
ish, which probably will be about or
o'clock in the afternoon, the time Of the
arrival Of the car will be wired to Omaha
That interest in the run and the estab-
lishment Of the bee" line has been aroused
is apparent from the number of inquiries
which have been received relative TO the
route which will be taken. Residents OF
the towns located along several possible
routes have shown much interest in thu
project to provide a road for motorists be
tween Omaha and Kansas City and have
promised demonstrations when the route
finding car passes through.
To make the results OF the trip Of more
than passing moment 1t Is intended tina
the Bee line shall be marked along thu
! route with suitable signs for tourists. Al
announced previously the line probably
will be dedicated with a reliability contes
for stock cars. This will be held later II
the summer when a suitably inscribed
trophy will be hung up.

She must be dream of beauty.
She must be an angel with a smil1

She must possess perfect tenn
per and never raise her voice save in
songs.
She must be splendid housekeep-

She must love children and know
how to tend to them. She must be
a fine musician and have mind
stored with all the intellectual
wealth of the ages, but must never

superior intellect and doesn't know
everything.
She must dress in the latest fash

She must be interesting, elusive,

ARE YOU FROM ILLINOIS Z

There are a surprisingly large
number of people living in and
near Lakeland, who at some time In
their previous lives were residents OF
Illinois. 1t was this fact that first
suggested the idea of an illinois
Day" and all the suckers to whom
the idea has been presented are
very enthusiastic over the subject.
The plan as now outlined includes
picnic dinner in the park. in which
all the Illinois people will take an
active part, and an after-dinner pro-
gram of music and speeches to which
the general public will be invited. 1t
is epected that enough money can
be raised to secure the services OF
the band. as this will be practically
the only expense to be incurred.
Mayor Cox is of the opinion that the
free use of the park can be secured,
and states further. that he considers
the idea an excellent one. and of adj
yertising value to the city. II II
proves to be IA success. as 1t undoubt-
edly will. Illinois Day will probably
become an annual event.
If you are from lllionois, please
take the trouble to send your name
and address, the Games and addresses
of other Lakeland Suckers you may
know. and any suggestions that or-
eur to YOU in this connection. to Box
,a6, Lakeland, Florida.
The people who are starting the
movement wish it understood that
this is not an attempt on their part
to be clannish, but is merely recog-
milton of a tie that already EXISTS.
It is simply that the people from the
second-best State in the Union who
have moved to the best State think
1t would ne great Jun W HIccl u"
gether, eat together talk over the
old times and the new times. and let
the "Crackers," the 'HOOsiers, the
buckeyes" etc. see how a let OF
Suckers" look when they are all to-
gether.
OF course, any one who has had
the good taste and the good fortune
t. select an Illinois husband or wife
will be welcomed to the dinner table
tlong with their respective life-part-
ncrs. No date has been set, but 1t
is thought some day in January will
be selected.

BRIDEGROOM SUICIDES
IN JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Dec. Isl can not
bring disgrace upon my family, SO ]
have decided to end it all.
This was the substance of note
found in room "A of the Atlantic HO-
tel this morning after Zebulon Vance
Fowler, age 2S. young lumberman
from Terrill. Florida, had taken a
quantity of strychnine.
Only having been married since
December 9th, ard having come to
Jacksonville with his bride to spend
his honeymoon, the young man, a
member of IA prominent family of the
State, committed suicide shortly after
ten o'clock this morning. His wife
was with him at the time of his
death, but declared she was unable
to account for his terrible act. Leav-
ing his room shortly after Z o'clock
this morning, Fowler went down
town and remained until nine
o'clock, when he returned to his
wife. Asking her for pen and ink,
he hastily penned a few lines to his
brother, j. r Fowler, who lives in
this city.
Telling his wife she might read the
letter later in the day, the young
man walked over to the wash-stani
and poured the contents of a bottle
into a glass. Mrs. Fowler asked her
husband what he was doing, and he
replied that he was going to take
some calomcl. Drinking the con-
tents of the tumbler, the young man
dropped upon the bed. and then de-
clared he had taken poison. De-.
Stinson was notified and was soon
at the hotel. but was unable to do
anything for the young man. and
death came shortly before | o'clock.
