V. W. Boyles, secretary Of Boyles
college,, Omaha, made en- address Thurs
day afternoon to the students of the
school on the injuries produced by the
use OF tobacco. and especially OF the
baneful effects upon young people who
smoke cigarettes.
Mr. Boyles explained to these young
men, more than three hundred in number.
that cigarette smoking was not only In
furious and impaired the efficiency OF
every one who used them. but that there
was also a decided prejudice against
cigarette smokers in the business world:
that the young man who applied for
opposition with the teltale stain upon his
fingers was likely to be turned down
nat, without regard to what his qualifi-
cations might be.
Upon inquiry, it was found that not
one in ten OF the young men in attend
ance at this college smoked cigarettes
and most of those who had become ad-
dieted to the habit expressed their will
lingness to give them up. All the
students upon being asked TO do so
gladly complied with the request of the
college management not to smoke I'm
front OF the college building, or within
one block of the college property.

been delivered during the winter at
Boyles college so far and others have
been arranged for throughout the en-
tire school year The addresses have

Mems Christian association and have

SEMINARY GIRLS
HOLD A POLITICAL
R0MP ON CAMPUS
Three Professions March Be-
hind Roosevelt" "Wil-
son." and Taft"

Marching with a brass band and fam-
Ing torches. and cheering and singing,
three professions OF schoolgirls. one
after another swept up and down the
campus of National Park Seminary, at
Forest Glen. last night. The girls were
marching, and singing and cheering for
Wilson, Roosevelt, or Taft.
When the demonstrations were over,
three girls. impersonating the leaders
OF the three parties, Progressive. Re-
publican, and Democratic, made ad-
dresses telling why In the ballots about
to be cast they should be given the
preference Then the girls voted.
Or the 24 votes cast. Wilson" got
no. Roosevelt" captured 90, and Taft"
81. Following the announcement the
Wilson supporters burst into loud
whoops of ecstatic triumph.
Names of Girls Secret.
Who the three girls are who imper-
sonated the Presidential candidates is a
deep. deep secret. which the school
authorities refuse to divulge. But the
words OF their addresses are known and
they ran about as follows:
Said "Mr. Taft"
THE Republican party-you girls In
the back keep still-stands for safe and

ment. Its triumph at the polls tomor-
row-that is, to say this evening-means

STRIKING WAITER
FINED In COURT
Judge Mullowny Tells Prisoner No
Sympathy Will Be Extended to
Those Who Use Violence.

Thomas Abizis, charged with being a
striking waiter and assaulting Benja-
min Vincent, one OF the strike-breaking
walters in the willard Hotel. was fined
$50 in the United States branch Of the
District Police Court this morning.
Abizis could not pay the fine and went
to Jail.
Abizis denied being a striker, saying
that he left the hotel at the usual time
on tho night OF October %, when the
alleged assault occurred. and went
home. He explained his absence from
the hotel next morning By saying he
was III. He sent no word to the motel
of his Illness, however, and remained
away Just as the strikers did.
II was shown by other witnesses that
Abizis was on the ground when two
other assaults were made on strike
breaking walters, although each time
he remained after the strikers had left
to talk with the rike-breaker who had
been attacked.
Judge Mullowny held that Abizis had
every appearance OF trying to play on
both sides OF the question and that his
actions on each occasion gave rise to
suspicion. He. therefore. Imposed the
hne. saying that the strikers would find
10 sympathy In the court II they used
such tactics as the strike breakers al
lege.

May Place Navy Yard
Men in Civil Service

II is highly improbable that civil ser
vice rules will be extended to cover
Navy Yard employees during the pres
ent Administration. Before the dema nds
OF part OF the men are met the OBJ
lection of the Navy Department must
be overcome, and II Is not believed
that President Taft, with whom the de-
cis'on rests. will override the depart
ment
The subject OF civil service for navy
yards was considered. and action was
taken by the commandments OF the At
lantic and Pacific yards at the recent
meeting. The recommendations OF the
commandants have not yet reached the
Secretary OF the Navy.
The attitude Of the department APP
pears to be that civil service will open
the way to favoritism greater than
has ever been charged to exist under
present conditions. Unless methods OF
examination were improved 30 that the
judge would have technical knowledge
of the qualifications OF applicants. the
selection OF men would rest largely In
the hands OF foremen.

SECRETARY Of NAVY
WANTS AEROPLANE
FUND INCREASED
Larger Appropriation for
Training of Aviators Will
Be Asked in Report.

An increased appropriation for avia-
ton In the navy. together with legisla-
tion permitting the assignment OF a
larger number OF officers to schools of
instruction. will be recommended to
Congress by Secretary of the Navy
Meyer In the report to be submitted
the first week in December.
Particular stress will be laid on the fact
that the mere purchase OF machines will
not equip this arm OF the service. Men
must be trained. This is the crucial
point In the development of the aviation
squadron.
1t Is expected that the Secretary OF
the Navy viii make his recommended
lions regarding aviation one OF the fea-
lures of the report. and that he will
recommend a marked change In the
facilities with which the corps has to
work.
The prime necessity OF training men
as aviators is being displayed in the
Balkan war. Little has been reported
OF the operations OF aeroplanes but the
Navy Department has recently found
that German manufacturers OF baro-
graphs. speed indicators, and other del
fcate Instruments have been practically
stripped Of their stock by demands
from southeastern Europe.
This fact Is taken to Indicate that at
the last moment the warning countries
have ATTEMPTED to build up aeroplane
sauadrons. The chief obstacle has been
the training of men. and Il is proba bile
that the war will be over before tho
training has progressed very far.
