till near dark. Suppose that instead
of our present summer practice of
sleeping through the first few hours of
sunlight and working to almost the end
of the last few, we went to work at
sunrise and stopped IN the early after
noon. Consider how plentiful daytime
would then be for baseball, tennis, fish
ing, gardening, golf, swimming and
other fayorite outdoor sports and pas
times.
Many pale, bloodless faces of factory
workers would become tanned; tired
discouraged eyes would become bright;
blood that had become thin and slug
gish would, for many, be renewed and
would race again with the joyodsness
of youth. Even those who cared only
to lounge about would be much better
OFF in the sunlight than in the close
atuffy air of artifcially lighted rooms.
And what prevents the people from
securing this health and these joys for
themselves I can think of but one
answer-inertia. "Inertia' according
to the physics definition els hat prop
erty of matter by virtue of which it
retains its state of rest or of uniform
rectilinear motion so long as no foreign
cause changes that state.' Perhaps
Germany's example will be the foreign
cause which will change our state of
sluggishness into more purposeful
state of activity and secure greater
measure Of both health and happiness.

Central High Meets
Sioux Falls Next

The Central High School foot ball
team will spend this week preparing
for the Sioux Falls game here next
Saturday.
There is talk now of post-season
game between Lincoln High and
Omaha High to definitely settle upon
a state champion. This will depend
somewhat upon the game between
Lincoln High and Beatrice High next
Saturday. If Lincoln should win this
game the championship will still be
unsettled. If Beatrice should prove
the winner, comparative scores would
favor Omaha, since it defeated Bea-
trice week ago, and the Omaha
players concede Beatrice chance at
turning the trick.
Although Omaha was outplayed in
the first half Of both the Lincoln and
Beatrice games, it did not enter the
two games in the same spirit. In the
) Beatrice game Omaha looked
throughout like a winner. The team
entered the Lincoln game in nerv-
Gus state and threw away several
good chances to score in the second
half, when clearly outplaying Its
opponents. ss
I If post-season game is arranged,
Y will probably be played in Omaha,
and during December the weather
would probably be no more disagree
able than that encountered at Lin
coin last Saturday.

END OF 10 YEARS SEARCH
And the Woman's Long Lost Sister
Lived Only One Block Away.

A drama Of heart gripping interest,
laid in Europe and extending over
period of thirty years or longer, has
just reached its happy climax on this
side of the Atlantic in the meeting
of two half-sisters, one of whom has
long been searching for the other,
who never knew before that such a
relative existed.
The principals in this drama are
Mrs. Yetta Goldman, wife of cloth
ing manufacturer, and Mrs. William
Phillips, who came here four months
ago and lives with her family within
a block Of where the Goldmans re-
side in Vineland, N. ].
More than forty years ago a SOL
dier in Russia married pretty village
maiden at Danaburg. A few years
later the soldier, finding himself too
poor to support a wife, divorced her.
In the meantime child was born and
was named Mary. The parents Of the
divorced wife took her back into
their home and later she married
again, but the fact that the second
husband was not her real father was
kept studiously from little Mary. The
soldier recouped his fortunes and
married again. His only daughter
was named Yetta. Thirteen years
ago she came to America and on her
departure an uncle told Yetta that
perhaps she might find a sister in
the new land.
"Her name is Mary and she comes
from Danaburg," the uncle explained
as he unfolded the strange story to
Yetta Of her soldier fathers earlier
romance.
So Yetta came to America with a
new incentive--to find a sister. This
strange quest continued for thirteen
years. Then the other day Mrs. Gold
man met a new neighbor on the
street. She was Mrs. Mary Phillips,
who had come from Russia fourteen
years ago and was the long sought
sister-Philadelphia Record.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
London, Oct. 3l.--A petition is
shortly to be presented to the British
government by the Strength of Brit
ain Movement" asking that the Brit
ish government follow the lead of the
greatest Of the allies to prohibit the
sale OF alcohol. This remarkable APP
peal has already been signed by 1000
representatives of the brain power Of
the nation, including leading officers
in the army and navy, directors Of mu-
nitions, privy councillors, prominent
men in literature, art and music, fl
nance and industry, university and
college professors, heads of public
and secondary schools, prominent
scientists and medicalimen.
The memorial claims that two
grave dangers stand before the coun-
try, holding back the power of early
victory and throwing a shadow over
the vision of peace. One is the vast
ing Of alcohol, the other is the i'm
periling Of infant life. Among all the
factors ofweakness these confront us
with terrible vividness and they lie
within our own control. With the
weakening power Of alcohol removed
our national effort against the enemy
would gather increased strength;
with the increased strength and more
rapid supplies our losses in six cam
paigns would have been substantially

Judge Howe Scores Fay for His
Illegal Acts and AdmOnishes
Him as to the Respect of This
COuntry's Laws

New York, May 9.--Robert Fay, for
mer lieutenant in the German army,
convicted in the Federal court yester
day of conspiring to destroy munitions
ships of the allies through bomb con-
trivances, was today sentenced to serve
eight years in the Federal penitentiary
at Atlanta.
Walter Scholz his brother-in law
and Paul Daeche. also convicted, were
sentenced to serve four years and two
years respectively, Judge Howe hold
ing that they did not originate the
conspiracy and deserved less punish
ment than Fay. The three were also
fined 81 each.
Fay was sentenced to two years on
one indictment and eight years on an
other, the sentences to commence and
run concurrently. Similarly Scholz re-
ceived sentences of two and four years
end Daeche of two and two years. The
jury had recommended clemency for
Daeche.
Under the conspiracy of which the
three were convicted, three other de-
PENDANTS are to be tlied-Dr. Herbert
Kienzle, Engelhert Bronkhorst and
Max Breitung.
Talking from the bench beside which
were heaped bombs. explosives and
|other exhibits, which the government
introduced during the 10 days trial.
Judge Howe said to Fay:
According to your testimony you
committed a grave crime against Ger
many by deserving your post and coun-
try, where you were engaged in lawful
warfare, to come here where you have
committed still graver crimes against
this nation for the purpose Of helping
Germany in the war. Altogether too
many things have been happening in
this country since the war commenced.
This court is going to convince you
and thoroughly warn others that this
country Is not a proper place in which
to carry on the war and that our laws
are still binding Notwithstanding the
war in Germany"
A writ of error was filed in behalf
of Daesche and the bail Of $4,000 on
which he had been al liberty was con-
tinued pending the writs' disposition.
Counsel for. Fay and Scholz announced
they would also file writs Of error
within few days and ask for bail for
their clients.
