Tn. N.bra,ka Two.Cent Rate Case.

In its decision on the 2-cent passenger rate
case, the supreme court OF Nebraska lays down
the rule that the power Of the State Railway
commission does not extend to multiplying maxi
mum rates specifically fixed by the Legislature.
In this case the legislature had substituted
cents as the maximum for the 3-cent rate estab-
llshed and maintained by law for years and tia
court holds that It is without the scope of the
commission TO raise this rate. The court also
says that where law has been enacted gov
erning a specific point, and later general law
Il passed dealing with the subject, the provi-
sions of the special law must apply to its par
ticular point
This ruling makes IL clear that the legis-
lature is the only place to which the railroads
may go for permission to increase intrastate
passenger rates. The decision also more plainly
defines the powers OF the commission, and thus
should enable It to approach its business more
confidently.

Expert Swimmers for Life Guards.
OMAHA. June ALTO the Editor OF The
Bee: Now that one life already has been
unnecessarily snuffed out at Carter lake
by drownlng, / would like TO offer few
suggestions.
The city now has one lawsuit in the
courts on account Of a boy being drowned
at one Of the city parks and there will
be many more such lawsuits IL the city
. commissioners do not hire expert life
guards to protect the bathers at the
beaches.
/ am a swimming instructor and have
taught life saving to a very great extent
both here and in Chicago, and am posi-
tive that the last drowning at Carter lake
could have been averted had the life
guard been an expert. as he should be.
Any person familiar With the swimming
game knows that 1t is very easy mat
ter to break any hold that a drowning
person may secure on a swimmer have
had experience in the Missouri river with
drowning people, and l know how
drowning person acts. IL Is not a very
difficult matter for an experienced man
10 rescue the most excited strong people
from drowning.
The city commissioners should not hire
a man for this life guard work unless
he can pass an examination which shows
him to be competent. Such an examina-
ton is required I'm all large cities. This
test should include that applicant be re-
quired to show breaks for at least three
holds in the water. five holds on land.
show methods for towing a man both
struggling and unconscious, demonstrate
methods Of resuscitation, and he should
be able to swim at least one mile.
I hope the city commissioners will act
on my suggestions. G. p. w.

WHY COWS GIVE MORE MILK
Breeds Improve the Things for Which They Are SeIected-Noted Increase
 Made in Germany.

A contributor to Farm and Preside explains why COWS give more milk than they used to:
 Cattle used to be bred chiefly for work. Therefore the cows did not give much milk. Breeds improve the thing for which they are selected.
 Tn 1790 the work COWS of Germany gave an average of pint and half day. Interest in milk increased. and by 1890 the average yield was a quart and half. Breeding went on milk ward, and in 1910 the German cows averaged two quarts of milk each per day. In 1920 three. in 1890 four-and there the gain stopped for 30 years. But in 1860 the production had in creased to six quarts and by 1870 to eight"

There's all kinds of hope for the men in the back row-those whose facial scenery is not attractively arranged A whole bunch of beauties in a Broad way chorus declare they just love an ugly mug, because the machinery in it's think box is always well oiled. It is their opinion that the brain of a pretty man could easily be carried in the vest pocket of mosquito. And by way of an argument, one girl says: "Go right through the worlds history and you will find that the really big men-the men who have done things were ugly. Women admire them be- cause they are distinctive forces, be- cause they are big and strong, both mentally and physically; and it is a distinct feminine quality to love and crave for that we lack I'll wager there are many women who have secret admiration for this or that prize fighter because of his physical force. and know lots of them who make no bones about being crazy about this or that football hero" So it's all settled. And it will be worse than useless for any pretty" men to entertain any fond matrimonial hopes where this beauty contingent is concerned-Ne York Times.
