OMAHA PUZZLED
BY QUESTION
WHEN ISCHILD?"
Adult University Students Insist
on Riding on Children's
Tickets
AND THE DICTIONARY
SEEMS TO SUSTAIN THEM
City Attorney and Other Func-
tionaries Are Wrestling With
the COnundrum

OMAHA, Dec. when is a childy
The question has been put up to City
Attorney Rlne, the Omaha city COM
mission, the Omaha Street Railway
Co. and the teachers In Creighton
university. and II has not yet been
solved.
A city ordinance provides that the
street railway company shall sell at
certain reduced rates tickets good for
the transportation VI children at
tending school"
Several days ago party OF Creigh-
ton university students boarded q
Harney-st. car and rendered the CON
ductor the reduced rate tickets. The
conductor refused to accept them and
the young men refused to either pay
the full rate OF fare or get on When
the car arrived at the university
81 ~ands they got on and went their
way.
Later q committee OF the students
called on the street railway officials
and another committee went to see
City Attorney Rine.
At the street railway headquarters
they claimed TO be children" and IL
was not denied that they were attend
ing school.

read aloud:
Child-A son or a daughter;
male or female descendant in the

Certainly we Creightonians are all
sons. descendants I'm the first degree
and the immediate progeny OF human
parents" the spokesman argued.
Rine read on little further:

definitions" argued the 2S-year-old
six-foot "child" at the head OF the
committee,
And City Attorney Rine had to ac-
knowledge that he was right.
But the ordinance says these re-
duced fare tickets are good for chill

And so the case stands.

(Sfdf Correspondent United Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 7.-Lodz, an I'm
portant railroad center, within 60
miles of Warsaw has been taken by
the Germans. The Russian attempt
to flank the Germans on their left
wing has been foiled, and this end OF
the line has advanced rs miles to
within 40 miles of the capital or Po-
land. The line of Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg now presents solid TO
mile front from How, on the Vistula,
on the north, to a point west OF
Pietrkow on the south.
This appears to be the situation on
the eastern front today on the face
OF Berlin reports. Petrograd is silent.
Unofficial reports, however, admit
that Iodz has been bombarded and
tell OF enormous losses suffered by
the Germans in their attacks in this
region. The German official state
ment OF today reports the defeat OF
the Russians, northwest and south
west OF LODI. The Russian losses are
undoubtedly large, II Is stated.
The bitterness of the fighting, as
we'll as the extreme mobility of the
German forces, Is clearly indicated in
the quick turn OF affairs as set forth
In reports from the eastern theater.
AS late as Thursday and Friday OF
last week Petrograd was confident
the Russians held the advantage. and
unofficially reported victory in the
battle of Lodz. Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg was able to throw rein
forcements from the west into the
fight, however. and to check the ad.
vance OF Russians coming from the
north and south. Meanwhile, he
struck hard at the Russians holding
the railroad in the vicinity OF LODI.
BERLIN (Via Wireless 10 London),

the Germans have occupied LODI and
further reports of an important sue
cess in the region, are included In

SERVICE STATION
ROUND The CORNER

AS the result of an interesting ex-
pertinent. made by the Studebaksr
branch In Los Angeles, a new idea In
automobile service r. making It's APP
pearance in the large cities Of the
country.
For years, the Los Angeles service
activities enjoyed the personal atten-
ton OF L. ] Ollier, now Studebaker
sales manager. He came finally to
the conclusion tha5 the ideal plan WAS
impossible when SO long as IL remain
cd ne cessary for all adjustments and
repairs 10 be made at but one shop.
The Experiment followed.
First In the suburbs and later in
the various residence parts of the city.
the branch began establishing anxil-
iary scr,ice stations which enabled
owners IN Studeo aker cars to secure
attention without making the "trip 20
tho ,cs;n station In the central part
~ the city. The auxiliary stations
we're equipped with supplies of parts
equal TO any ordinary emergency, and
provided with Uniform sign.
The success Of the experiment was
instantaneous BY placing service
station around the corner" from al
most every Studebaker owner, time
was saved, skilled attention was more
easily secured, and cars were kept In
perfect running order with far great
or ease thar under the old plan.
There are now more than so Stude-
baker service stations In Los Angeles.
New York city has a liberal repre-
sentation. Chains have been estab-
lished in Detroit, Pittsburgh. Port
land and elsewhere all displaying the
handsome. Uniform steel sign, In
white letters on a background of blue.
Formerly, manufacturers have been
content with one service station in
each city where a dealer Is located.
Until the Studebaker idea was worked
out this had been considered the ideal
arrangement. The system OF auxiliary
stations has, however, demonstration
itself as infinitely superior, not only
from the cer owners point or view
but from that of the sales organiza-
ton in each city, as well.

GOVERNMENT TO AID
BABIES IN GERMANY

LONDON. Dec. THE Bundesrath
of Germany has decided, says Reu
ter Amsterdam dispatch. to furnish
financial and medical assistance TO
women at the time of childbirth.
This step was taken to alleviate
the anxiety of husbands at the front
and to protect the coming generation.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1914-12-07

The French artillery forced the Ger
mans TO evacuate Vermelles.
LONDON, Dec. with LodZ taken
and advances of 20 miles having been
made on both tanks, the Germans in
Poland are gaining control of the main
railroads leading direct to Warsaw.
They are also threatening the com.
munications OF the Russians on the
southern front OF Grand Duke Nicho-
las army. Should they continue to
meet with success the Russian move
ment toward Czenstochtowa will have
to be abandoned and the forces about
Cracow might be forced TO withdraw.
This is the situation today on the
eastern front, as indicated by the Ger.
man announcement and the mention
OF fighting on both the northern and
the southern tanks as mentioned
from Russian sources.
The Germans have advanced along
the Vistula and fighting Is reported
at How, TO the north OF LODI, and in
the vicinity OF Piotrkow, to the south.
Both OF these towns are on the i'm.
portant railroad lines leading to War
saw.
Lodz has been partially destroyed
by the German bombardment. The
town was taken only at the point OF
the bayonet. Having fought their way
over the Russian trenches, the Ger
mans met desperate resistance and
we're repeatedly driven back before
the constantly reinforced masses
broke through the Russian line.
Throughout this district about Lask,
Brezin, Zgierz and Pabjanice fighting
of the most desperate nature has
been in progress for a week. The
wooded sections, Petrograd dispatch
es state. are filed with bodies OF Ger
man dead. None have been buried
and the roads are filed with bodies
OF Russians and Germans alike, wreck
ed batteries, and the bodies OF horses.
The effect of the fighting during the
past week has been the Strengthening
Of the German line from the vistula
to Lask, south OF DodZ. This gives
the Germans a solid line with front
of more than 30 miles and the base OF
their wedge extending back to Thorn
and Kglicz.
