The odor 10 Penstrstins Because the
Substance 10 Radio active.
The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er OF musk perfume Is accounted for
by the fact that 1t is radioactive. The
United States consul at Chunking,
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
In way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio.
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry 1t. If it is held
close to the body for any length OF
time 1t produces sores that are proba-
bly, similar In character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk is secretion OF certain glands
or pouches of the male musk deer and
Is secreted only during certain seasons
Of the year. 1t is difficult to obtain
pure, and one of the largest French
manufacturers of perfume keeps a rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border, for the sole purpose Of
buying it.
Three thousand pounds OF musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half of this
has passed through Tachienlu, which
is one of the principal musk markets of
the world, though eighteen days Jour-
ney from Chunking, the nearest port.
The deer. which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-five inches tall. are being
slaughtered in such numbers that they
are becoming more and more scarce
and viii eventually be extinct.

other states with no more judges on their
bench, and many Of them with fewer, keep
abreast with their litigation without the troubles
which we complain Of in Nebraska. They do it,
first, by discouraging. or limiting, frivolous APP
peals, and particularly appeals where the only
object sought is to gain delay and they speed
up the wheels of the judicial machinery by re-
stricting the hearings and arguments to the
points really at issue, and likewise holding the
opinions of the court within reasonable compass
by excluding all the side lines They do It,,
further by closing a case for good with a de-
csion without successive rehearings, unless
some vital factor has been overlooked or is
newly discovered. They do 1t chiefly, however.
by spirit Of cooperation between bench and

Two Kinds Of Preaching.

The apparent remarkable success OF Rev.
William A. Sundays method OF preaching is
coming 10 invite comparison with the more de-
corous and dignified manner of preaching from
the average church pulpit throughout the land
Sundays biggest buildings are overflowed
whether in Dies Moines or Pittsburgh. while
many pastors yearn for occupants OF empty
pews, although church attendance on the whole
is said TO be somewhat improving of late.
Those who have studied the style and
method OF the great evangelist Whitefield
whose torrential eloquence burned into the souls
of men two centuries ago, find analogy in the
Sunday sermons. Both men are described as
genuine evangelist crusaders, preaching the old
time religion In the straight-from-the shoulder
fashion, sparing neither friend nor foe in laying
bare the sins OF the people. in flaying the indif
ferent and exposing the hypocritical.
In his terrific sermons" says a portrayer
OF the great whitefield, he dashed the faults
OF his auditors unsparingly. and told them
plainly that II they did not change their ways
they we're destined to everlasting fire. The kind
OF preaching that drew vast congregations then.
draws them now
Certainly Mr.. Sunday seems TO have as much
fire and force In his preaching as any man
could have. and the people fairly fall over them
selves in not only going 10 hear him, but going
TO the mourners bench after they hear him.
As the Des Moines Capital which has had re-
cent occasion for studyipg Sunday and his ways.
puts IL: "Hs hearers seem positively 20 relish
being told they are half beasts and half devils -
The question seems TO arise. is Il time for the
average pastor TO take his foot off the soft
pedal and let out the steam as Sunday does and
as whitefisld did and as most Of the old-time
preachers used to do. Has the sugar-eoated
method Of preaching. or even the more disnlfied
rationalism in the pulpit failed of proper re-
suits.
Not long ago stout-hearted Iayman here
in our own city. who. feeling that his pastor
was losing ground because OF his too gentle
preaching, went TO him and said;
Doctor, do you not see some faults in some
OF your people?" and the good pastor admitted
that he did.

Nebrsska's Mortality.

According TO the State Board of Health, the
total number OF births in Nebraska in 1914 was
26,7O4; deaths. 1926. leaving a net gain to
population of 1899 reminding us again Of the
small proportion OF population increase from
this source But II the birth rate is dlscourag-
ingly small, the death rate is encouragingly SO;
It is even smaller than for the year previous.
when the total number Of deaths was 1884.
For a state OF 100000 population. 10000
deaths in a year stands itself a splendid adver-
tisement of the wholesome living conditions.
Cupid was on the job rather industriously dur
ing the year. communicating 12,157 triumphs at
the altar OF Hymen albeit the little eherub wit

In the year 2,159 attempts at separation were
made. most OF them successfully. Most of those
seeking divorce had been married less than five
years, which Will furnish new ground for the
contention that domestic infecity Is more COM
mon than in former years. although the logic
may be quite faulty.
Late statistics showing the ratio of births as
between so-called native Americans IN Nebraska
and foreign-born families would doubtless, 10
available, reflect some interesting facts, the
large birth rate being in the ioreign-born
families. Failure TO advance far along this line
of increase does not necessarily mean, OF course,
that Nebraskas population is not keeping up; 1t
Is making normal gains from immi gration which
may promise still larger contributions in the
next few years.

The Shortage Of HOusemaids,


Chicago complains OF shortage in house
maids, despite the general CRY over the country
for employment. Good wages, It is said fail to
supply the demand for competent help.
Wages now offered for experienced house
maids are at least normal" says a woman en-
gagged in trying to .'ll these wants, I'm fact,
in many OF the suburbs they have reached the
high level"
An oversupply OF iobless women ready to
accept housework is admitted. but they are
without experience, not capable OF earning the
TOP wages and unwilling TO accept less. How
typical the Chicago situation may be cannot be
said. but the chances are 1t is a good deal like
that In most other cities The truth Is that,
even though housework is the woman's most
natural occupation, and a competent housemaid
is often in the long run better paid than her sis
ter who prefers the shop and factory, the great
majority continue TO choose the latter. Yet
this coalition may not be due entirely to the
housemaid. The housewife. II she has not
quite learned how to treat her help" may have
as much, or more, to do with Il than she is eager
to concede Ordinarily. the comforts OF the
homes employing maids, in addition to the
wages, offer relative advantages and induce
ments which the factory or mill do not have TO
offer, and when these fail to attract. surely the
fault must be elsewhere, or at least divided be-
tween the two sides.

A Year of Expositions.

With the San Diego Panama aclfic exposi-
ton touched Off by the president to run its full
year course and San Francisco's big show soon
coming on, California embarks upon one OF the
biggest enterprises TO which 1t has ever set It's
great powers. Whether that state OF indomtable
grit would have essayed such a task II II could
have foTeseen the turn OF world events is not
the question now. The task has been essayed
and California may be depended upon to COM
plete It successfully IL such thing can be done
Moreover. California will have the hearty good
will Of the entire country back Of Il, and no
doubt lot Of even more practical support and
cooperation.
With European travel badly discounted by
the war, many thousands of those Americans
who Just must go somewhere every year will in
all probability go to California. II is doubtless
true, as has often been said. that many OF our
best travellers from the eastern states have sadly
neglected their opportunities for travel and
study in the west. Now here is the golden OPP
portunity TO make good their shortcomings, to
put into practice the ''see America First"
slogan And IT will more than pay them to do
So The journey across the continent will afford
them both profit and pleasure in becoming ac-
quainted with other dominions OF wealth and
wonders, besides California. or course, thous-

Nebraska have the most attractive offers to
make to anyone seeking either investment or a
home on the land. This reminds us of the i'm
portanoe of a systematic effort to attract as
many OF these passing strangers as possible.

see tit to tarry with us long enough TO appre-
ciate them unless hidden to do so.

Teaohers' Retirement Pensions.


Signs are already visible Of opposition to
that part OF the school law code recommended
by the Revision commission, which proposes re-
tirement pensions for teachers throughout Ne
brsska on plan somewhat similar to that which
already obtains here in Omaha. This proposal
is denounced as infringing on the principle of
equality and establishing privileged class.
The question is thus raised as to whether a
school teacher is entitled TO preferential treat
ment compared with other public employees
or as compared with those in private employ
ment. Here in Omaha we have taken the
teachers retirement pension as a matter Of
course, having also retirement pensions for
members of the police and fire departments.
The pension system has not yet been extended
beyond departments where the beneficiaries
hold by good-behavior tenure this being the
only practical way so far devised to transfer the
superannuated, and keep the arteries Of eircula-
ton open
The alternatives would seem to be either to
have fixed terms of employment and rotation
for all public servants or to set deadline at q
designated age, neither of which conform to
modern ideas OF progress. The college profess
sors have had retirement pensions, subject to
established rules, provided for them by private
endowment, and In one or two states by state
appropriation, and TO pension public school
teachers, to our mind, no more creates a privil-
eyed class than to pension university instructors
