Bob MdnIey Has Birthday and

Sure, thirty-nine years old today.
What's the use Of trying TO hide your
age7 It's on record anyway Anybody
who wanted to get It could look Il up"
Thus Robert II. Manley. commissioners
Of the Commercial club, unblushingly told
his age when it was suggested to him
that his birthday was about due yester-
day.
Bob wos born Just five months and
eighteen days more than n century after
tho Declaration OF Independence was
signed. so he was too late TO do any
shooting In the revolution. He was not
too late. however, TO shoot mudballs at
Charles zehrung. ex-mayor Of Lincoln
and president Of the Western league.
when zehrung was the village dude a
good many years ago.
Mr.. Manley was born in lincoln. He
grew TO barefoot. mischievous boyhood
there. and then when young Zehrung was
something of a dude. wearing ice cream
trousers in summer, Bob would hop be-
hind the coal shed as the future mayor
strutted past and hurl mudballs upon his
nice white trousers. Ex-Mayor Zehrung

Yes. Manley was born In Lincoln He
was graduated from the University OF
Nebraska there. Then Ross Hammond
OF Fremont looked him over and told him
he was too darned young to be city editor
OF the Fremont Tribune. Marley con-
WINGED Hammond that he was not, so he
got the job.
Many a time a paper was late when
Bob had TO run across the street to act
as best man for a marriage ceremony a
justice Of the peace friend Of Bob's was
performing. When a couple came in that
had no best man and bridesmaid with
them. the old Judge used to throw the
window wide open and whistle through
his teeth TO the young city editor across
the street Bob would be on the job Inn
mediately. and thus he was the best
man for about six score of couples dur
ing his short stay at Fremont
Later Manley wanted to see a bigger
city. He went 90 work for the Record
Herald in Chicago, and later for the Tri-
bune. Some twelve years ago he landed
In Omaha as Advertising manager of the
Brandeis Stores. Ten years later the
Commercial club took him away from
there. That's how 1t happened that he
had his thirty-ninth birthday in the
commissioner office at the club rooms

the toys OF the boys serve for them also,
save for the dolls. and even they, instead
OF wearing their usual finery of silks
and satins. are plainly dressed as Red
Cross nurses with whole outfits of band
ages and surgical instruments at their
