Autoists Would Avoid
Honey Creek Hill

Having in mind . plan to
eliminate the steep Honey
Creek hill on the Lincoln High
way route, and substitute one
much easier to negotiate, q
party of ten members of the
Council Bluffs Commercial
club, accompanied by ]. H.
Holden of Scranton, member
of the state highway commits
sion, and County Engineer
Sundburg, went over the local.
ity Wednesday. Three differ
ent routes had been suggested
and all were Considered. It Is
thought q lighter grade will
undoubtedly be decided upon.
One route had been gone
over by the surveyors, but 1t
was known that this route
would prove expensive. An
other route was gone over on
this trip, however, BY which It
is believed the hill may be
avoided and q road established
with a gentle grade all the way.
The beautiful scenery to be
viewed from tho hilltop will,
however, be eliminated, as we'll
as the hill.
The proposed new route
winds up . valley farther
on, after rising By easy stages.
1t is stated that practically the
only expense Of opening the
hew route would be the secur-
ing Of the right-of-wsy.-C. 3.

President Wilson refusing to

Much anxiety IL felt in Con-

A large number Of investors.
who are too clever to put their
money into savings banks at

Many Of our conscientious

Good for the express compa-

It must be an awful tsmpta-
ton to John D. to 60 to work

President Wilson writes such
short messages that the Con-

hair cut and shave while they

The trusts don't object much
to the cut Of their new style

want the pockets just as hume
rous and deep as ever.
As the Congressman realize
what a calamity to the country
it would be If they were not re

1t seems likely that employ

It is admitted that everyone
should have . winter vacation,
even If people have to overwork
themselves sick to get it.
The United States Is consid-
cred an agricultural country,
yet it has to import food from

To Join Catholic Church, She Says
Answering Priests Criticism.

by remarks of Catholic priest from
his pulpit, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw said to-
day that she had already taken the
first steps to enter the Catholic church
and that her son Russell would also
be baptized at the same time in that
faith. Her censor was the Rev. Alex
ander w. Chapotan who in announcing
a weeks retreat at the Redemptorist
Fathers church yesterday said
"a notorious woman, whose name l
will not speak, is coming to theatre
Of Kansas City, and l hope that no
church member will go to see her.
thereby giving their approval of her
life. No good Christian woman should
go to see this woman perform. 1t Is
most important that the youngest peo-
pie of the parish should avail them
selves of the retreat while this wOm-
an is in our city"

No one can read unmoved the story
of the fine courage and noble fortitude
of Congressman Bremen in his fight
against the disease he was unable to
worst. The record of his good cheer,
of his steadfast will to work and to
be q man to the last tightens ones
throat and causes catch in the
breath. Beside that unfaltering self
lessness and heroism through the grim
hours of awaiting inevitable death, the
deeds of bravery done in the glare and
excitement of battle seem insignificant
